Aim at That Star - Chapter 83
Zhuo Yu’s birthday this year was planned for her at home.
But to be honest, it has nothing to do with her.
The main reason is that Father Zhuo took over a new project. Recently, the funds are a little tight, and some partners need to be brought in urgently.
So on the surface, it was her 21st birthday, but in fact, it was a business occasion.
It doesn’t matter if there is Zhuo Yu as the protagonist.
But Zhuo Yu was used to this kind of thing.
From childhood to adulthood, her birthday that year was not used as a tool?
When necessary, I have to be responsible for being a mascot by my mother’s side, speaking the lines that I have practiced, and getting close to the ladies and ladies my mother needs.
Zhuo, tool man, and Yu Huihui all played very conscientiously.
Although she and Jiang Shi are both only children, they are actually different in nature.
Jiang Shi is valuable, independent, and has real power. In a sense, he is the crown prince of his Jiang Group.
His willfulness, ego, and stubbornness can be fully respected by his father and others.
Because of his willfulness, ego and stubbornness, he represents his own opinions and thinking about his own business, future development and interpersonal relationships. Whether it is right or wrong, it is very meaningful.
But she’s different, she’s just…really just a mascot.
Apart from cooperating with her parents in the social arena, she cannot bring any value to the family.
Her willfulness is a child’s temper tantrums, her dissatisfaction is a personal conflict among the younger generation, and her stubbornness is ignorance and fussing.
The family members, from grandparents to parents to uncles and aunts, don’t have much demands on her, as long as they don’t embarrass the Zhuo family and live happily.
At first glance, I always felt that the calculation and comparison of parental affection seemed a little cold and ruthless.
In the past, Zhuo Yu didn’t understand at all. Although he obeyed his mother’s arrangement every time, there was always a bit of dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart.
But during this period of time as an intern in Uncle Jiang’s company, she really came into contact with the society, saw what Jiang Shi was doing with her eyes, and experienced the hardships of a person’s life for herself, and then she suddenly felt so ashamed and regretted. consciousness.
She felt that her former self was really like a piece of social trash.
Nothing but daydreaming.
Just like Sheng Tian from the next department, even if she encountered such a bad thing, she still came to work in neat clothes the next day. Because of her emotional impact, there was a small error in the report at work, and she was still scolded by her supervisor. Bloody head.
It seemed that there was no sympathy for her emotional setbacks.
“Sheng Tian’s supervisor also has a boss, and she has to report to her boss to complete KPIs. Everyone is out to work to support their families. Why should they take responsibility for others with compassion?”
Jiang Shi said so.
Is such that.
It was at this moment that Zhuo Yu suddenly realized how ignorant, shallow and worthless he was when he was born alone.
If she is of no value to the Zhuo family.
So why does she expect to gain enough voice and autonomy on the basis of being raised by others?
On the day of her 22nd birthday, when Jiang Shi was about to go to bed at 3:00 in the morning, she suddenly received a data analysis table for the buried point from her, and was very surprised.
Jiang Shi: Didn’t I say you can give me this form again on Friday?
Zhuo Yu: But I want to do it as soon as possible, and then I can hold a meeting to do the next wave of burying.
Jiang Shi: …what’s the matter with you recently?
Zhuo Yu: What’s wrong?
Jiang Shi called directly.
“ask you a question.”
The boy’s voice was low and serious, “Has something happened to your family recently?”
Zhuo Yu was stunned and began to recall: “No, no, I think my parents are quite happy recently… Have you heard any news? Tell me, I can bear it. .”
“There’s nothing wrong with our family, why are you working like a desperate Saburo? Fuck,”
Jiang Shi looked at the neatly buried analysis on the computer screen, and rubbed his hair irritably, “I feel a little guilty for doing this.”
“What do you feel guilty about?”
What’s there to feel guilty about?
Friendship aside, Zhuo Yu is now working under Jiang Shi. As an intern, he only occupies half of the staff, and his daily salary is only 120. There should be overtime pay for overtime work.
However, this girl is obliged to work overtime every day, doing all kinds of work, and she often sits in the company on weekends and has meetings with a large group of gentlemen.
She was a small intern with a monthly salary of less than 3,000 yuan. She came to the company for more than half a month and did almost 1.5 jobs as regular employees.
As long as Jiang Shi has a little bit of humanity, can he not feel guilty.
He rubbed his brows and sighed: “Zhuo Yu, seriously, you don’t need to spell it like this, the Zhuo family has a great business, and there is no shortage of food for a little girl like you…”
“Don’t give me ecstasy soup here.”
The little girl wrinkled her nose, “Didn’t I tell you that now I am no longer the social trash of the past.”
“…not to the point of social rubbish.”
“In short, my goal now is to become a person as useful as Jiang Shi.”
Jiang Shi himself was stunned: “Huh?”
“Anyway, I’ll try my best.”
Zhuo Yu made a serious call for himself, “I want to become a person who can be heard, and I have to have my own office and subordinates, and I have to make a very popular and powerful game!”
“…”
There was three seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.
“Hello? Are you still there?”
“exist.”
There was a rare smile in the boy’s voice. Although it was very light, it was already a great affirmation to Zhuo Yu.
Because he said, “Give you a raise.”
180 a day, plus 50 yuan, more than 1,000 yuan a month.
It made Zhuo Yu feel that he was simply an awesome guy.
……
All in all, although it was her birthday, it was not yet time to pay the internship salary.
But because of the affirmation from his boss, Zhuo Yu was in a good mood all day.
For her birthday party, she didn’t put it in her own home because she had to make a big deal.
Instead, they rented a hilltop villa.
Divided into two areas, the indoor lobby is definitely a place where adults talk about business.
The swimming pool lawn is where Zhuo Yu and his friends meet.
This birthday party, not only her boyfriend Shen Wencheng also came.
Lin Shiyu also came.
It was Zhuo Yu himself.
To be honest, she originally mentioned it on WeChat, thinking that the other party would definitely refuse to come.
Unexpectedly, Lin Shiyu agreed generously.
This surprised Zhuo Yu.
In this regard, the speculation given by Pu Yi, who is far away, is: “Want to come and catch Kaizi? After all, in your kind of situation, isn’t the second generation of rich officials and the second generation the most?”
“But… I look at her friend, and she seems to have a pretty stable relationship with her boyfriend.”
“Then I don’t understand. Maybe it’s not necessarily if you come to check your truth. Women, curiosity and comparison are innate, even if she has nothing to do with your boyfriend, that time in the UK, she I must be very interested in a little princess like you.”
“……All right.”
If there is no such relationship as Shen Wencheng, Lin Shiyu is a senior sister who has nothing to do with her.
Zhuo Yu didn’t bother to care what the other party thought.
After all, there were quite a lot of people coming to this banquet. Jiang Shi took her invitation and sent it out as if she didn’t want money, in the name of broadening her social circle.
Her mother thanked her directly, without thinking about how difficult it was for her poor daughter to entertain unfamiliar guests.
What’s more, most of these guests were sent back to the eldest ladies who could perform 300 episodes of palace fighting dramas in ancient times.
Less than half an hour after the banquet started, Jiang Shi’s former suitor, Zhuo Yu’s high school classmate, a girl named Yu Qin who had not dealt with her very much but didn’t have much interaction with her over the years, pointed to the shoes, covered his mouth in surprise and said, “Zhuo Yu, your shoes…”
Zhuo Yu looked down at the shoes on his feet.
It is the co-branded limited-edition small canvas shoes that Shen Wencheng gave her. The uppers are clean and the shoelaces are neatly tied, and they also match her pleated skirt with today’s shirt.
She raised her head inexplicably: “What happened to the shoes?”
The other party’s fingers turned, and his eyes fell on the feet of a girl next to him, with obvious gloating in his eyes: “I bumped into this little sister’s number, Zhuo Yu, you won’t be pirated, right?”
Zhuo Yu was slightly startled.
So did the young lady named beside her.
Looking over, I found out that the person wearing the same style as myself was actually Lin Shiyu.
Lin Shiyu didn’t come with Shen Wencheng today, and the whole opening was very low-key. He didn’t even come forward to say happy birthday to Zhuo Yu, and sat quietly in the corner, chatting with college classmates.
Zhuo Yu was also busy greeting guests, and even her boyfriend Shen Wencheng didn’t have time to say a few more words, let alone Lin Shiyu, her boyfriend’s suspected ambiguous partner.
She didn’t even notice when the other party arrived.
However, even in such a situation that both parties are reluctant to communicate too much, they still inevitably meet.
– The so-called not friends do not get together, probably this is the truth.
Zhuo Yu looked at the pair of shoes on Lin Shiyu’s feet.
Although the girl shrank her legs back uneasy, she still saw clearly:
Indeed, exactly the same as his own.
How exactly is it?
There are a total of 500 pairs of this co-branded limited edition small canvas shoes from the C family, and the patterns on each pair of shoes are different.
From one to five hundred, it is designed into different Roman numeral patterns and printed on the upper for a unique one.
However, it happened that Zhuo Yu’s shoes and Lin Shiyu’s shoes had the same Roman numerals and pattern design.
Either Zhuo Yu’s pair is pirated, or Lin Shiyu’s pair is pirated, or both of them are pirated.
In any case, it is impossible for the brand to make a mistake.
This kind of thing is very new.
In their circle, although it is said to be the so-called “upper circle”, it is a common thing to bump into shirts, and it is also common to wear A goods.
It’s just that there has never been a time like today, and the hammer is so dead.
When Yu Qin said this, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him.
Being stared at by countless people, Lin Shiyu shrank back, his legs crossed, and he looked a little cramped.
Everyone, even Yu Qin himself, who was mocking, actually felt that Zhuo Yu should not be the one who pirated.
It was this strange girl who I didn’t know very well.
After all, looking at the clothes she was wearing, she didn’t look like a girl from a rich family.
And this pair of shoes is said to be a limited edition, and the price is not too expensive.
Zhuo Yu won’t be reduced to the point of wearing pirated copies at his birthday party.
Yu Qin said this, probably just to embarrass Zhuo Yu.
Let’s see how she eases up.
Denial is definitely to deny, then the girl will be embarrassed.
Although I don’t know what the relationship between the two of them is, they are still ordinary friends who can be invited to the birthday party.
Let Zhuo Yu make a bad friend, Yu Qin is satisfied enough.
Sure enough, Zhuo Yu sighed inaudibly, with a bit of helplessness and a bit of apology on his face.
She was about to speak: “This shoe…”
“I gave her these shoes.”
-Suddenly interrupted halfway through.
Zhuo Yu turned his head blankly and saw Shen Wencheng walking by.
The boy’s face was cold and his expression was indifferent. He apologized and rubbed her head gently: “I’m sorry Zhuo Yu, I didn’t pay attention to checking the source when I bought it. Maybe I bought it wrong. I’m really sorry.”
He raised his eyes and faced the crowd: “This has nothing to do with Zhuo Yu, I gave the wrong gift, don’t misunderstand her.”
“……”
As soon as his words came out, let alone Zhuo Yu, even Yu Qin was stunned.
She, she just wanted to embarrass Zhuo Yu, but she really didn’t want to turn her into an image of a big man wearing A goods.
The girl coughed awkwardly: “This is your boyfriend?”
……
The huge lawn was silent for half a minute.
Zhuo Yu curled his lips and narrowed his eyes into crescent moons. He couldn’t tell what his emotions were, but he could only hear that his tone was indifferent and indifferent: “I talked about it before, but now it’s not anymore, and I don’t know why he’s crazy. .”
“oh oh.”
Yu Qin nodded, “I said.”
She was also obviously frightened by the sudden turn of the story.
To be honest, she and Zhuo Yu have some grudges, but they haven’t developed to the point of life and death. They don’t want to really tear it up, so they quickly change the topic: “Then these shoes are quite popular, but your bag is two years old. Is it the old one before?”
“Yeah, this style has never been released again, it’s a collector’s edition…”
“Zhuo Yu.”
I don’t know if it was distressed to see Lin Shiyu sitting next to him alone and helpless, or because Zhuo Yu denied the identity of “boyfriend” and became angry, Shen Wencheng took another step forward and frowned, “In this situation, Don’t get angry, okay? It’s not good for people.”
“…”
Yu Qin coughed again, and pulled his boyfriend beside him to the pool, “What, you accompany me to change a glass of wine.”
Damn it, why is this guy who doesn’t know if it’s Zhuo Yu’s boyfriend or his ex-boyfriend so ignorant.
If things got really big, wouldn’t she, the initiator, be scolded to death by her family?
…fuck it.
Yu Qin left, and some onlookers who didn’t want to join in also left scattered.
Of course, there are more people who watch the fun and don’t take it too seriously.
Zhuo Yu put down the wine glass in his hand and looked up at him lightly: “Why, you gave her shoes too?”
“…What does this have to do with me?”
“It wasn’t from you, why did you stand up so sincerely to prove her innocence?”
Shen Wencheng was helpless: “Zhuo Yu, don’t make a child’s temper…”
“Who made a child’s temper with you?”
She half-smiled, “Fakes are fakes, reals are real, can’t I see what I bought in the store? If you’re not happy, you complain about other brands, and what are you doing with me, a customer? .”
There was a burst of laughter from the surrounding crowd.
It is estimated that Shen Wencheng’s actions are a bit funny.
“Step aside.”
Zhuo Yu pushed his hand away and walked past him, “Shen Wencheng, the things you gave me before, I will pack them up and send them back to you tomorrow. To be honest, I have never dismantled many things. You really gave me such a pair of shoes, then I apologize to you in advance. But pirated copies are pirated copies, and it is your business to buy pirated copies, don’t pour dirty water on me. “
There was another round of laughter.
There are also classmates from F University who get together and whisper to each other, “Really divided?”, “Oh my god,” “It seems that there is no intersection recently”…
“Zhuo Yu.”
Shen Wencheng stopped her from behind.
To be honest, he always knew that Zhuo Yu was a little girl with sharp teeth.
It’s just that he has always been sharp-mouthed to others, such as those who look down on him, such as Jiang Shi.
To him, she has always been well-behaved and obedient.
Even if they quarrel sometimes, they have never said such excessive words.
Today, it was the first time that Shen Wencheng was so confronted by her.
Still in the public eye.
The victim was his goddess Lin Shiyu.
Shen Wencheng felt that he had never been so angry before.
He raised his voice and said in a serious tone: “Zhuo Yu, if you want to make trouble with me, or even break up with me, it’s up to you, but this is a matter between the two of us, and it has nothing to do with others. Is there any kind of behavior you don’t care about? Have you considered what impact it will have on Lin Shiyu?”
Zhuo Yu stopped.
Jiang Shi was leaning on the tree trunk with a glass of red wine, and when he heard the words, he hooked his lips: “Do you need help?”
“…help.”
“You have to think about it.”
The boy raised his eyebrows slightly, “I won’t show any mercy to him when I speak. If I really want to help, it’s basically a final decision, and there’s no chance to save it.”
“…”
The little girl lowered her eyes, was silent for two seconds, and then said, “Okay, I’ve figured it out.”
Her voice was soft, but with great solemnity: “If you don’t save it, you can’t save it, leave him alone.”
“it is good.”
Jiang Shi held the wine glass and shook it at the boy not far away, the corners of his lips were still hooked, and his tone was lazy, “Student Shen, it’s a coincidence, it’s not, I bought these shoes for her, and she was urging her on the morning of the 3rd. I drove to the front of the store and lined up and personally picked 22. I know better than her whether it is true or not. If you want to debate, come and argue with me, don’t hold a stupid little girl morally kidnapped. “
Shen Wencheng widened his eyes absurdly: “Are you kidding me?”
“Am I wasting my time here to joke with you for something worth tens of thousands of dollars?”
The boy sneered, “It’s wrong to buy the wrong one. If I apologize to your classmate Lin, she may not be able to forgive you. But it’s a bit immoral to pour dirty water on your ex-girlfriend. You say yes. No, classmate Shen?”
