The 80s Chronicle: Addiction To the Army’s Young Wife

At noon, their family reserved a table at a well-known restaurant in Shanghai.

After coming here, I saw Zhang Meng, who was looking forward to it, in front of this beautifully decorated restaurant.

After getting off the car, Xu Ning parked the car in the parking space in front of the door, and then saw Zhang Meng trotting over with her high heels, shaking her neat short hair.

"Uncle Xu, Aunt Qin, hello." Zhang Meng greeted them with a bright smile, then lowered her head and rubbed Xu Rui's face, "Oh, Xu Rui, long time no see, you really are getting better and better as you grow older." handsome."

Xu Rui forcefully broke Zhang Meng's hand, "Sister Zhang Meng, I am a junior high school student, so you should save face outside."

"Heh, why are you still being polite to my sister, little guy? Then I'll show you face outside, and you let me rub it later?" Zhang Meng walked to Xu Ning's side and took her arm, "You really have a heart There is me, and if you know that you come to Shanghai, you can find me for dinner, are you free in the afternoon, come to the studio and have a look, and let the three small employees of the company have a look at their second boss."

"Okay, how did you come here?" Xu Ning asked.

"How else can I come? Take a taxi. Our studio has received less than five orders since it opened. Two of the orders placed for us were wedding decorations at my classmates' homes, and two were introduced by them. In this way, I am also thankful, do you think that I, like you, can make a lot of money in an instant?"

"You girl is not bad. You started your own business as soon as you graduated from university. It is always difficult to start. After this period of time, when others see the results of your studio, the business will gradually increase in the future. Don't worry. Worry." Qin Xuejuan encouraged from the side.

Zhang Meng nodded happily, "I can take it as comfort when others tell me that, but Aunt Qin, your encouragement, I am very motivated. Who made you have vision?"

"This child is much more lively than when he was a child." Qin Xuejuan laughed.

Xu Ning looked at Zhang Meng and said with a smile: "My mother means that you are crazy now."

"Tsk, don't misinterpret Aunt Qin's meaning. Aunt Qin is praising me. I don't believe you."

When they came to the restaurant, they sat down in the lobby on the second floor, because the private rooms were full, otherwise it would be more comfortable to gather in the private room for dinner. Their reservation was also this morning, and the private room is usually in the It can only be booked a week in advance, or even half a month in advance.

"The villa on Yunwu Mountain will be completed in May next year, so you can go and help me design it." Xu Ning said, "Although I am the encouragement of your studio, the money will still be paid."

"That's what I have to give. If you give it to me, I will give it to you when the dividends are paid at the end of the year. It's so convenient to pay the bill." Zhang Meng said.

Xu Rui also interjected, "Then sister Zhang Meng can help me design my villa."

"...Xu Rui, even you, a junior high school student, already has a house, but I still rent a house for your sister, do you envy my dead sister?" Zhang Meng couldn't help rubbing his handsome face again.

Xu Rui avoided her with a smile, "If you want to stay, go to my sister's house, I won't let you go to my house anyway."

"Why? Sister treats you badly?"

She pretended to be hurt and asked while holding her heart.

"That's my private territory!" Xu Rui said proudly.

"Okay, I have time to go to your sister's villa to enjoy it when the time comes, and let's try what it's like to be a rich man."

The food was served soon, and the taste of the food was not bad, but the Qin family's food was only average. After all, it was still not as delicious as their home cooking, and of course it was not as good as the food at Ningrui Hotel.

In fact, the business of Ningrui Hotel is really booming now. Every day, elites from all walks of life move in. Big bosses from abroad who come to China to discuss cooperation or rich people on vacation will also book rooms in Ningrui Hotel.

First of all, the open-air swimming pool on the roof is very attractive, but the most important thing is that the special meals of various countries in Ningrui Hotel are really delicious.

There are often banquets held by big bosses at Dingliu. Most of the time is from the end of spring to the beginning of autumn. Because the water temperature of the swimming pool is constant, even if it is a little cool in the end of spring, some people still like to go swimming. In fact, there are also people in winter. Some people go swimming, it seems that winter swimming has become a fashion.

After lunch, Qin Zhao came to pick up Xu Jianjun and his wife in person.

"Aunt, uncle, let's go to our company first?" Qin Zhao asked.

"Go and have a look." Qin Xuejuan nodded, and said to Xu Ning behind her: "Go with Zhang Meng, and don't forget to make a call if you don't go home for dinner at night."

"I know." Xu Ning nodded, and went to the parking spot with Zhang Meng, only to see Xu Rui following him, "You want to join in the fun?"

Xu Rui blinked his beautiful big eyes, "Are you two going to abandon me?"

"...Then come with me." Xu Ning grinned, and pulled Xu Rui to the back seat.

Following Zhang Meng's guidance all the way, they came to the Dream House Studio located on Binhe Road in Shanghai.

The studio only occupies one floor of the office building, with an area of ​​about 600 square meters. Although it sounds small, there are only four people in the company including Zhang Meng.

At this time, it was not time to go to work, but the three employees of the studio did not go home, and all gathered in the lounge of the studio for lunch.

"The name looks really good." Xu Ning boasted.

Zhang Meng said with a smile: "We are doing decoration design, and our main focus is on residential buildings. This name is also easy to pick. As for the word 'Dream', it is purely a coincidence. Even if my name is not Zhang Meng, I am planning to Taking such a name seems to be just right now, at first I thought about putting your name in it as well, calling it 'Dream of Tranquility', but it's a pity that you disagree."

"Dream of Tranquility sounds awkward. How can there be such a dream house? Besides, I only hold shares and will not interfere in your studio. I don't understand. Why do you bring me? This is your company."

"Both of us." Zhang Meng corrected, and led the siblings to the lounge.

The three people inside were two men and one woman. They were still eating at this time, and when they saw the boss coming in, they hurriedly said hello.

From the attitudes of the three of them, Xu Ning could tell that Zhang Meng got along very well with the three of them.

"Boss, you went out and brought back a big beauty and a handsome young man. How amazing is that?" the hairy-inch man said with a playful smile.

Zhang Meng clapped his hands, "Let me introduce you, this is Xu Ning, the shareholder of our studio, and this is her younger brother Xu Rui, you two, don't think of my friend, his husband is so handsome that he doesn't like it Both of you."

Another Jarhead boy said bitterly: "Of course we both know, but the boss can't hit people like this, right? Our revolutionary friendship is gone?"

"There is no such thing, you can eat." Zhang Meng greeted Xu Ning to go out, "I will take you around, the studio is actually not big, but it is still very empty for the four of us, although this section I have been recruiting people all the time, but unfortunately there is no suitable one, and now the order is very good, so we can’t pay the salary if we recruit too much.”

"Don't worry, I believe in your ability, and I like the wedding room you helped me decorate very much. You are very talented in this area, and you will definitely be very good in the future."

"Haha, let alone, I actually think I am very good at this. I am going to go back next summer and renovate my parents' house."

"Is it necessary?" Xu Ning asked, "Isn't your younger brother going to college next year? He should pick up your parents to live with him in the future, right?"

"That will take many years. Let them renovate now and live in it first. Anyway, the hometown is not decorated according to the design plan of the city. It won't cost much. Let them live more comfortably for the time being."

"That's pretty good."

In Zhang Meng's office, the two of them were sitting on the sofa chatting, while Xu Rui was wandering outside.

"There is something I haven't told you yet. I have a boyfriend." When Zhang Meng said this, she suddenly looked a little shy.

"Not bad, what are you doing?"

"I just work in the building next door. The manager of the investment bank is two years older than me. We talked for two months. He has a good personality. Although he is definitely not as good as your husband, he is very calm and tall. Tall and big." Zhang Meng twirled his fingers, "I told him about my family's situation, and he didn't dislike me, but his family's conditions are very good, and he came back from studying abroad, but I didn't think I was worthy of it. on him."

"Your thinking is right. When a man and a woman fall in love, you can't feel that who is inferior to the other. Identity and background can't determine anything. Even if he looks better than you now, your development potential is huge. In a relationship, you must never be wronged, and you can't negotiate conditions, if he raises conditions with you because of your family background before marriage, then you have to think carefully about it."

"I know that." Zhang Meng nodded, "I almost couldn't even go to high school back then, but now I can be regarded as having my own studio in Shanghai. Yes, who knows what I will achieve in another ten years? I can get to this point on my own, and I don't plan to rely on their family in the future. Since I don't rely on their family, I have nothing to wrong myself .”

"That's how you should think about it." Xu Ning was very relieved in his heart, "other people's things are not reliable, only your own efforts are truly yours, and no one can take them away. I have known you since I met you. You are an independent person. At that time, I knew that you would definitely have a bright future. The so-called wealthy family is very attractive to many people, but how can we feel comfortable being the master of a wealthy family? In such a family, if you are not taken seriously, life will be so depressing, of course he treats you well, and his parents can accept you, so don't hesitate, there are not many high-quality men, so you must hurry up."

Zhang Meng's eyes were red when he heard Xu Ning's words.

She hugged Xu Ning's next door, resting her head on her shoulder.

"Sure enough, you are the best to me." She sobbed a few times in a low voice, "Actually, even though I didn't feel inferior to others when I fell in love with him, I was still a little worried about gains and losses. I haven't been in love with him for a long time now. I'm still in the running-in stage, and I have a meal occasionally, at most it's just holding hands. He hasn't told his parents, and neither have I, but I'm still afraid that his parents will say that I cling to their family. He is very handsome, and he is still a turtle. My family is pretty good in Shanghai, I like him very much, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten along with him."

"A month ago, I was eating out with him. I met a sister in my dormitory. I talked to her for a while. After a while, I heard from other students in the same department that she went back and told others that I It’s really sad to get rich.”

"I think it's pretty good to get along with her for several years in college. Who would have thought of it."

Xu Ning patted her hand and said in relief, "Do you think what I said is credible?"

"Why do you ask that?" Zhang Meng looked up at her, then wiped the corners of her eyes naturally, and didn't feel that there was any shame in crying in front of Xu Ning. Although she had known Xu Ning for more than ten years, this was the first time , "You are the best friend of Zhang Meng in my life, not one of them."

"Then I can tell you very clearly that you are not attached to a wealthy family, and the so-called wealthy family depends on what level it is. If their family's conditions are better than ours, then I admit that his family is a wealthy family, otherwise you are My good friend, no one has the right to say that you cling to a wealthy family. If his parents think so, you can tell the other party about it. What do you think you cling to them."

Zhang Meng was stunned for a while, took out a few pieces of tissue from the tea table and wiped his face, then took out another wet tissue, wiped his face carefully, and finally put his arms around Xu Ning's arm, while she He kissed her hard on the face.

"Thank you, Ningning, I like you the most."

After finishing speaking, he added, "Their family is not as rich as yours, not to mention Ning Rui, even you are not as rich."

"That's it, even if you straighten your back, when you face their family members in the future, we must be polite, but you must not accept their random planting." Xu Ning stopped Zhang Meng's shoulder and patted him lightly. , "Furthermore, I can be sure that at least before you are thirty years old, you will definitely achieve something. My vision should be very accurate."

"It's not that it should be, it's for sure. If you believe in me so much, I won't let you down."

Xu Ning hugged her and smiled happily, "This is the independent, strong and purposeful Zhang Meng I know, otherwise I would suspect that the Zhang Meng who quarreled for me in front of me was my illusion."

Xu Rui came in from outside, and when he saw the two sisters hugging each other, the corners of his lips twitched.

"Sister Zhang Meng, can you exchange my sister for me?"

Zhang Meng hugged Xu Ning deliberately, "No!"

"Okay, I'll give it to you today." Xu Rui was also joking, and went to sit on the single sofa, "My sister also brought you the cosmetics, but I didn't bring them out today."

"Oh, I forgot." Xu Ning suddenly came over at this time, no wonder she felt something was wrong, "You know Sumei Cosmetics, right?"

"Hey, of course I know, I also bought a bottle of aloe vera night cream, the effect is super good." Zhang Meng got up and went to the desk to take out the bottle of cosmetics, "This is the second bottle I have used."

"I brought you three sets, enough for you for a year, tell me when you run out."

"Thank you, my dear Ningning."

In the afternoon, I watched Zhang Meng draw the decoration design of the house here, and Xu Ning also made some comments on the side. Although there were not many, Zhang Meng found every sentence very inspiring.

When she was about to leave work, Zhang Meng asked Xu Ning and her brother to go to her place for dinner, and said that she would invite her boyfriend to meet in the evening.

Xu Ning did not refuse, and called He Min here, saying that he was having dinner out at night, so that the family would not have to wait for them.

The house Zhang Meng rented was in a house not far from Binhe Road. The house was less than ten years old, so it was relatively new.

The two walked ahead carrying vegetables, "This building only has six floors, and the attic is seven floors. The attic I rented is not big, but it is quieter."

Taking out the key and opening the door, Xu Ning saw the whole picture of the house. The kitchen is closed, the living room is only about 30 square meters, and the bedroom area is also more than 20 square meters. There is a bathroom and a room that is not too big. The big small study room is small and well-equipped.

"The rent is 200 yuan per month, and the water and electricity bills are taken care of by myself. I usually eat at the company and then come back to sleep. It's pretty good."

Xu Ning nodded, "It's really good. You deserve to be the designer of the house. You designed the house very warmly. You look like a good girl."

"Thanks."

After entering the room, Zhang Meng put the remote control into Xu Rui's hand, "Your boy is watching TV here, and your sister and I are cooking inside. When someone knocks on the door, you can turn it on."

"Sister Zhang Meng's partner?" Xu Rui asked with a wicked smile.

"Yes, yes, my partner." Zhang Meng glared at Xu Rui, then dragged Xu Ning to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Xu Ning scraped the fish scales with the back of a knife.

"Does your partner come over for dinner occasionally?"

"How could it be? He and I are just talking about each other now, and we haven't met the parents. I will definitely not let him in at home. You came here today, so I called and asked him to come to dinner at night." Zhang Meng Quickly explained, "I also want face."

"Yes, before the relationship is confirmed, you must guard yourself. You must not give yourself up until the wedding day." Xu Ning looked at this dream seriously, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand." Zhang Meng nodded, "If I don't respect myself, others won't respect me anymore. If he really wants to do something before marriage, I can only think that his feelings for me are just like that. There is no need to continue to get along."

"If you can think that way, I'm relieved."

But at this time downstairs, a tall and straight man with gold-rimmed eyes, elegant appearance and a little seriousness parked the car and walked down, looked up at the attic of a certain building, hesitated for half a minute , just straightened his tie, took a deep breath, and walked up the corridor.
