Chapter 174(1/2)
A woman's unwillingness will keep love and hatred in her heart, and always have a thought.
Just like Qian Chu, she had never told anyone about Tang Xingyuan's disappearance, but she kept it in her heart and never forgot about it. She also had resentment towards Tang Xingyuan, and she disappeared for many years without saying goodbye. She kept that thought, and there must be a victim mentality in the mixed emotions. In her perception, Tang Xingyuan should be indebted to her.
But the final outcome was unexpected and she had nowhere to relieve her resentment.
The object she had always resented turned out to be so helpless that she left the world. She was in pain but had to force herself to let go.
If it weren't for the many people and things around her that changed her mindset, who would know what kind of mentality Qian Chu still has?
The same is true for Li Zhen’s perception.
When Li Zhen was studying in Germany, she first saw Zhou Chongcheng and felt that Zhou Chongcheng should belong to her.
He is not the kind of jade-faced young man in the popular society nowadays, but he is very handsome. His masculine temperament and appearance make him particularly liked by those bold and bold blonde girls. At least when Li Zhen first met him, among the few people he had with him, there was a love for him with visible eyes written on his face.
At that time, Zhou Chongcheng was young and energetic, and his attitude towards men and women was almost deviant. He seemed to not know that the girl should speak more gently, with a rough voice, and sometimes she would be impatient.
That day, Li Zhen planned to buy a car model for his uncle's nephew as a birthday gift. When he entered the door, he saw Zhou Chongcheng spinning around a reduced German car model.
She knew that it was the latest car, with a grand and elegant model and a wide space. It was said that car lovers must buy it, but the price was not affordable for ordinary people.
Her uncle in Germany promised to customize a car as her admission gift when she was admitted to a graduate student at a prestigious German university. Just a while ago, the new car arrived.
She heard Zhou Chongcheng talk about the car with several of his German friends, talking about how the real car performs in reality. In fact, Li Zhen doesn't understand the car. She thinks that the car can drive and should not be repaired frequently, and everything will be fine. As for performance, she is not interested.
Her backs were turned to Zhou Chongcheng and others, and she had a strong thought in her mind, and she wanted the masculine man behind her.
She could hear that he was very interested in the car. He didn't have the car's quotation, but he could analyze the car very well and refine it to a small detail of the engine, just as if he had solved the car, and he had such an understanding.
Li Zhen immediately asked the clerk what the model of the car was called? She wanted to buy it, but she deliberately stumbling in German, as if her speaking was not smooth. During the question, she deliberately mixed it with Chinese to let Zhou Chongcheng know that they belong to the same country.
Sure enough, Zhou Chongcheng immediately asked her about her purchasing needs and then conveyed it to the clerk.
During the conversation, Li Zhen learned that Zhou Chongcheng came here in the name of an exchange student. Because his major is related to cars and engines, he especially likes cars.
Li Zhen took the opportunity to get Zhou Chongcheng's phone number. Zhou Chongcheng obviously did not know the purpose of the woman asking for the number, and had never contacted Li Zhen. It was not until Li Zhen deliberately and bravely contacted him and asked a few questions about the car if he had something to do, which attracted Zhou Chongcheng to reply to the message.
Later, by accident, Li Zhen drove to the school gate and happened to meet Zhou Chongcheng. After Zhou Chongcheng saw her car, he became active, his eyes were like a spiritual weapon with light, which was amazingly bright. He and the boys in his class took a taxi around the car. This was the first time Zhou Chongcheng had taken the initiative to communicate with Li Zhen for so long, and even asked if he could sit in a position.
Li Zhen slowly finally figured out what he liked. He often asked Zhou Chongcheng to come out in the name of the performance or problems of the car, and every time he would go to the appointment on time.
At that time, Li Zhen felt that Zhou Chongcheng was not enlightened because he went to see her and said that he was helping her see the car, so he must be really looking at the car, and would not think that she was dating him to find an excuse. Once, because he didn't find out that there was something wrong with the car, he even got angry with her.
He felt that the car was fine and could not talk nonsense. Although it was a car, it was worthy of respect.
Li Zhen couldn't find an excuse, so he confessed to Zhou Chongcheng jokingly, "Since you like cars so much, then as my boyfriend, you can touch the car you like with just the right thing. Should you think about it?"
What surprised her was that Zhou Chongcheng seemed to have thought about it for a few minutes and agreed.
Zhou Chongcheng is not a good boyfriend because he is not gentle, inconsiderate, does not understand a woman's heart, and is not patient in speaking. Sometimes Li Zhen feels that he has fed the dog with all his passion, but he is reluctant to give up.
Of course Li Zhen knew that Zhou Chongcheng had many shortcomings, and his friends around him also felt sorry for her, but Zhou Chongcheng was not the kind of soft-fried man he was talking about by his friends. The unexpectedly Zhou Chongcheng was very generous in money.
His financial conditions seem to be good. As long as he buys things, he must pursue quality. He has almost no personal expenses. He is wearing a coat when she first met him, and he is still wearing it a year later. He is a person who doesn't care about his own clothes at all.
Sometimes Li Zhen doesn't know what Zhou Chongcheng is thinking about her. He is not as gentle and kind as other people's boyfriends. He buys gifts and flowers during festivals, but he often gives away valuables that she has accidentally mentioned.
For example, a new wallet, a pair of high heels she had missed for a long time, etc. These things are of great value, but he is willing to take action. He often makes friends around Li Zhen complain and envious at the same time.
He said he was not attentive, but she liked the things he gave. He said he was attentive, but Li Zhen felt that he treated her better than her.
She wanted to be considerate of her boyfriend, but he didn't understand the charm. She had a strong personality, and her heart was so tangled that she had turned over and over, and she had to pretend that she was not hurt on her face.
Li Zhen felt that she might be a slut. The less he cared about it, the more she wanted to get closer. However, in the eyes of outsiders, Li Zhen and Zhou Chongcheng were equally matched. Neither of them was the kind of couple in the traditional sense. They were independent, strong, and good at each other.
It seems that in the eyes of outsiders, this is the best condition for their couple. Li Zhen knows that this is not what he wants.
Who has ever seen a woman go out shopping with her boyfriend and hold hands with her? Even if she holds her hands for a while, as long as he feels sweaty, he will retract his hands and say something uncomfortable.
Li Zhen was depressed and once sent a ruthless message to break up, but Zhou Chongcheng occasionally made her ignore the past. It was a painful process to repeat it over and over again.
The breakup was actually caused by an argument.
She suddenly learned from her friends that Zhou Chongcheng said conservative words to the people in his dormitory, which made her feel ashamed and angry and surrendered. How could a man say that to a woman?
Besides, is it her problem? Every time she gave all kinds of explicit hints, he didn't know if he really couldn't understand or pretended not to understand, and didn't answer that word at all. Even if he tricked him into a hotel once, he ended up robbing the door. Is it her problem? He even doubted whether he was sick!
Because of that incident, Li Zhen took the initiative to find Zhou Chongcheng for the last time, and slapped him hard in front of many classmates in his classroom. Zhou Chongcheng didn't say anything, took the slap, and finally he said three words in Chinese: "I'm sorry."
Afterwards, Li Zhen prepared for graduation thesis and defense, but never looked for Zhou Chongcheng. Zhou Chongcheng never looked for her again. She once hoped that he would look for her, and she would find that after a while, he missed her even more... But Zhou Chongcheng had never looked for her, and he didn't even reply to a message.
Li Zhen deleted Zhou Chongcheng's phone number and all social communication letters, hoping to break his thoughts, but in the end he was still unwilling to throw away the mobile phone and number, and kept it all the time, even after returning to China, he kept it for several years. When he was tidying up the house, he finally broke the mobile phone card that might not be available now.
She thought that she and Zhou Chongcheng might be the type who are destined to be together, and they no longer think about it and focus all their energy on their work.
I have to admit that she is a person with strong abilities, but her strong personality makes her relationship with her subordinates not harmonious, so she has gone through several places, and the final evaluation is polarized: her boss and leader is very sure of her ability, but her subordinates have the lowest evaluation of her.
Of course Li Zhen knew her problems, but she felt that she had such a personality, so she could only let them bear it. Why was it her who changed? Not someone else?
After graduation, Li Zhen first entered the bank. She has always studied finance, so it is natural to enter the bank.
She looks beautiful, has a strong family background, and has good resources around her parents, so she has outstanding business capabilities. Not long after working, she attracted the attention of the upper class. Then her journey became smoother and smoother, and she also transferred from bank wealth management to life insurance. She followed two very excellent institutional directors and finally went to the institutional directors of the Dafu Branch park.
Li Zhen actually agrees with insurance very much and agrees with the meaning and value of the business, but she does not like the salesperson who sells insurance.
She has served in many institutions in Dafu Insurance and has indeed met high-quality salesmen, but most of them are sloppy housewives. She feels that with their image, it is difficult for customers to believe in their professionalism and abilities. Moreover, during her tenure in a first-tier city, there was a salesman who didn't know how to be quarrel at her!
What qualifications does an insurance salesperson have to argue with the staff? They seem to think they are employees of the insurance company. In fact, they only sign an agency contract. The staff of the insurance company are employees of the insurance company. They receive salaries, while those salespersons receive commissions.
This difference is hard to tell, what insurance can these people sell?
She didn't expect the relationship between Qian Chu and Zhou Chongcheng, and what she didn't expect was that Zhou Chongcheng actually found a woman who sold insurance.
There are so many women in the world, but he actually chose one who sells insurance, and he is still selling insurance in the company she is staying for.
Li Zhen found it funny and sarcastic.
When she first came to the company, she transferred the files of the company staff and remembered Qian Chu's name at that time. After all, her performance is indeed much better than others, but she won't have any deep impression.
Because compared with developed first-tier cities, Qian Chu's performance is not comparable to that of senior managers of the same level in those places, and it is likely that he cannot even reach the passing line.
So of course she wouldn't take it seriously, but now, when she learned that she was Zhou Chongcheng's girlfriend, Li Zhen once again carefully checked Qian Chu's performance after joining the company and picked up many more and more.
In the first year, she had almost no performance and had very few staff. She could survive like this, but she was still very capable. In the first half of the second year, she was still very poor, and it only started to improve in the second half of the year.
The promotion was only in the third year, and the promotion data were not outstanding.
The more Li Zhen thought about it, the more funny he felt. After Zhou Chongcheng separated from her, his vision of finding a woman was really weird. He actually chose such a person.
It's reasonable. If you have really outstanding abilities, you won't come to sell insurance. I just don't know how they met. Was it because Zhou Chongcheng was hooked up by her, or Zhou Chongcheng took the initiative?
When Li Zhen thought of Zhou Chongcheng's personality, he could almost conclude that Qian Chu took the initiative to approach him. Zhou Chongcheng was just a piece of cold iron, and no one could do anything to him.
Thinking about it, Zhou Chongcheng looks good, his family should not be bad, and it is normal for a woman to take the initiative to hook up.
Li Zhen left the speech venue early and did not go with most of them.
Zhou Ce listened to a lesson at the front desk for a while, ran back and searched in rows, and finally found his son in the middle of the row. He reached out and pulled him, "Come out for me."
Zhou Chongcheng frowned: "Dad? What are you doing? I'm listening to the class."
"Come out!" Zhou Ce's face was tense, and the more he thought about it, he became more angry. He was so angry that he couldn't even listen to the class.
Zhou Chongcheng had to follow him out: "What should I do, Dad?"
Zhou Ce pointed Zhou Chongcheng's head with his hand, "What's going on with that woman?"
"Which?" Zhou Chongcheng asked, remembered Li Zhen, and he lowered his face: "Nothing happened."
"You haven't told the truth yet, are you? My eyes are not blind yet. Have you ever done something to be sorry for her? Otherwise, why would she be so righteous?" Zhou Ce asked: "If you don't explain it to me today, I'll go and explain it to that girl clearly. See if you will become a bachelor!"
When Zhou Chongcheng heard this, he became anxious: "Dad! Don't tell Chuchu! The woman's name is Li Zhen. When I was in Germany, she was a graduate student there. I met her for a while..."
"What does it mean to know each other for a while?" Zhou Ce glared: "Have you ever been dating her?"
Zhou Chongcheng hesitated for a while before nodding: "Yes."
Zhou Ce lit his head: "What else? Have you gotten a big belly? Have you cheated? I'm sorry?"
"How is that possible?" Zhou Chongcheng raised his voice: "I don't want anything fragrant or smelly. I had nothing to do, so I talked about it for a while, and then she returned to China and was divided."
"No...that one?" Zhou Ce asked carefully.
Zhou Chongcheng swears: "Absolutely not! I only liked her car at that time, and it was a new car from the De brand..."
When Zhou Ce heard this, he beat him up in anger: "You are talking to someone for the sake of someone's car. Are you harming people?"
Zhou Chongcheng quickly said, "It's not. She told me that if I became her boyfriend, I could play with her car at will, and I agreed..."
Zhou Ce was so angry that he said, "I don't have a son like you, so I still praise you in front of your mother..."
Zhou Chongcheng didn't think anything was wrong, "What's wrong? I'll cooperate with what she said. However, there was something that was indeed a bit like that. My roommate arranged her privately and it was spread. She was a girl, which was particularly embarrassing."
"you--"
"However, I asked her to slap me in public and saved her some face..."
Zhou Ce was angry and left, "You'd better tell that girl so that you won't have trouble in the future."
"Can't say it!" Zhou Chongcheng hugged Zhou Ce: "Dad, you must not say it. If she knew about it, she would definitely be very angry. I didn't expect that Li Zhen would actually come to Dafu Company and became the new general manager of the company!"
Zhou Chongcheng scratched his head: "She looks very generous and actually holds a grudge. I am worried that Chuchu will be implicated by me, so I told Chuchu that I will pay her for the activity funds for her team in the future! Anyway, their insurance companies are different from other companies. Their general manager's internal staff will not be in charge of the field. Anyone who dislikes her will be able to do anything without birding her."
Zhou Ce frowned: "That's it, then, then what kind of funding for that girl from now on can be considered by me. I can't let anyone bully my future daughter-in-law."
