Zhu Tao came to this old building, almost did not cover her nose, the stairwell, the corridor, are full of peculiar smell, I don't know whether it is the breath of people or the excretion of animals, she has been dressed relatively plainly, but it is still eye-catching, there are few women in this area who are so neat.
Looking at the door number, she rang the bell, and an old woman came out and looked her up and down through the iron gate in surprise: "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Yao Zizhen."
"Oh, look for Aunt Yao." The old woman opened the iron gate.
It turned out that Zizhen only rented one room to live in, and the environment was so embarrassing, worse than imagined.
"Are you a friend of Aunt Yao?"
Zhu Tao nodded.
"Did you know that she owes half a year's rent?" We also have hardships in doing charters, everyone owes rent, and there is no return. ”
Zhu Tao quickly asked, "How much?" ”
The old woman squinted at Zhu Tao: "Two thousand seven a month." ”
Zhu Tao immediately opened the handbag, she came prepared, and counted the cash to the old woman.
The old woman was overjoyed: "It turned out to be a distinguished guest, and Aunt Yao lived in the tail room." ”
Zhu Tao hurriedly crossed the corridor to find Zi Zhen.
When they first debuted, this kind of room was only rented for three or four hundred and one, and now the price is soaring, which is really great.
The door was hidden, and Zhu Tao gently pushed it open, "Zi Zhen, Zi Zhen? ”
She heard a hoarse voice: "Who?" ”
"It's me, Vermilion."
The owner of the voice was in a trance: "Are you a vermilion peach?" ”
"Yes." Vermilion approached.
The small room was a mess, dirty clothes were thrown to the ground, and there was leftover food everywhere, like a kennel.
Carelessly, Zi Zhen fell to such a point.
She puffed her head and lit a cigarette: "You come to see me?" ”
"I heard you're sick."
"Yes, contagious lung disease."
"Today's special drugs are easy to cure tuberculosis, but you need to be patient during the six-month period."
"The guests were scared when they heard it, and I lost my job."
Vermilion was silent and a little fidgety. In the past, Zizhen was a beautiful woman in the industry, with white skin, clear contours, long legs, bee waist, three or two years of not seeing, today and haggard and old, almost unrecognizable.
Zi Zhen scratched his dry, half-dyed, half-burnt black hair, "Vermilion, thank you for coming to see me." ”
"I'm very worried about you when I hear the news."
"How are you doing?"
Zhu Tao replied, "I am married." ”
Zi Zhen asked, "With whom?" In the dark little room, her eyes glowed.
Zhu Tao took out a thick stack of banknotes from her handbag: "Zi Zhen, don't resign, give you a cure." ”
Yao Zizhen naturally did not refuse, she immediately grabbed the banknote in her hand, and sighed quietly: "Zhu Tao, among the sisters, you are alone." ”
Zhu Tao whispered, "I still have something to do, you yourself be careful." ”
"Thank you."
Zhu Tao nodded, turned and left.
She really did not want to stay for a long time, nor could she tell her old companion the address and telephone, and her husband must be unhappy when he knew.
She hurried back into the street, relieved.
The driver saw her and immediately pulled the car closer.
She got into the big black motorhome and ordered the driver to drive home.
The road to the mountain is clean and spacious, and the environment just now is different, the back ridge of the vermilion is crawling with cold sweat, only a little bit, the vermilion is Yao Zizhen.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="569">02</h1>
The story begins three years ago.
Zhu Tao was only eighteen years old, her family was poor, her mother was sick, her brother needed to study, and her father had long abandoned the family, so she had to come out to find a job.
After being introduced, he came to a bar attached to a middle-class nightclub as a waiter.
Work uniforms include short skirts, small tank tops, high heels, and must wear makeup.
The bar is called Honeymoon, and it is quite famous in the industry.
Happy Hour wine is halved from 5 to 7 p.m. every day, and it is very popular with white-collar workers.
At the honeymoon bar, Zhu Tao met Yao Zizhen.
Zi Zhen is a beautiful woman, being a waitress is a tyrannical creature, she is one year younger than Zhu Tao, but her mind is mature, ten times smarter than Zhu Tao.
She has a group of familiar customers, who come to the scene every day, and Zizhen accompanies them to sing and guess boxing, and the income is very good.
She saw that Zhu Tao was new and raw, and always took care of her and took her out.
"Vermilion, straighten your chest, close your belly, smile, don't be shy."
Zhu Tao has always been grateful to Zizhen, but unfortunately she is not well qualified in this regard, and her income is much worse than that of zizhen, and she can pay the living expenses of her mother and daughter, which is enough.
However, she has her advantage, she never cheats on the scene, like a white-collar woman, commuting very seriously.
One afternoon, Zi Zhen went into the lounge to puff powder: "Come, Zhu Tao, let's go sit together to sit in the grid." ”
She dragged Vermilion out.
Outside sat a table of guests, a total of five or six men, ranging in age from twenty to forty, chatting and laughing.
Zhu Tao shivered as soon as she heard the three words of sitting on the grid, she was a waiter, not a dancer, and she still wanted to maintain a minimum of dignity.
But the guest had already pulled away the chair: "Please sit, two young ladies, come here." ”
It turned out that they were all colleagues in an advertising agency.
Zi Zhen smiled and asked, "Who is the boss and who is the guy?" ”
A middle-aged man immediately said, "We're all guys." ”
It was a slightly stout but cheerful man named Zhou Huida.
Zhu Tao immediately realized that he had a great affection for Zizhen.
Who didn't, Zhu Tao smiled darkly, the same uniform, worn on Zi Zhen's body, is not the same.
After sitting for a while, Vermilion was busy, stood up, and went to the bar to get a drink for the guests.
The bartender Ah Liu smiled and said, "Zhu Tao, your means are not as good as Zi Zhen." ”
Zhu Tao nodded, "Among the people in the group, she is the best." ”
"Next month she will participate in the election of Miss Xiangjiang, maybe fly up the branches, and then marry into the rich."
Zhu Tao smiled: "The world is heavy." ”
Ah Liu said, "You are not jealous." ”
Zhu Tao replied softly, "Each has a former cause that is not envied, and each person cultivates his own blessing." ”
Ah Liu nodded, "You are very good, you will be blessed." ”
When Zhu Tao went to hand over the wine, she found that Zizhen had no interest in Zhou Huida at all, and she only guessed the fist by pestering the young and handsome kingdom.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="571">03</h1>
That night, when she got off work, Zizhen said to Zhu Tao, "I made an appointment with Xiao Wang." ”
"What about you?"
"I went home with my mother."
"You're so rigid, how long have you done it?"
Zhu Tao was dejected: "I don't know." ”
"Vermilion, you have to use the opportunity to make some money."
"I don't understand."
Zi Zhen stomped his feet: "You old piece of wood, I have the opportunity to teach you." ”
"Good, good."
"You have to listen to me."
"Definitely."
Zizhen changed her clothes and left.
How to make money, isn't it already paid, than the average beginner to do a letter difference or office assistant income has been much better.
The bartender Ah Liu looked at Zi Zhen Wanna's back and said, "Such a clever fox girl also has a fatal injury." ”
Zhu Tao asked curiously, "Yes, what is that?" ”
"Her death pit is called Little White Face."
Zhu Tao smiled.
When she returned home, she was relieved to find that her mother's health was healthy earlier.
Checking my brother's homework again, I found that koko scored a hundred points, and I felt that hard work had a price.
That night, sleeping in a small bed, she thought: I don't know how many poor women like her in the city are struggling for perfection, and their hearts are very miserable, but because they are young, they will soon fall asleep.
Honeymoon bar business is doing very well as usual.
Zi Zhen and na Wang Cai are very close, but don't worry about her, she will not treat any man wholeheartedly, and at the same time, there is also the TV station director Xiao Gan, and the bank manager Ah Yu, all of whom look talented.
Zhu Tao province to eat and save, half a year saved a small amount of money, the heart is slightly at ease.
In a place like this, to do it for three or two years, and then not to jump out, she will not forgive herself.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="573">04</h1>
One afternoon, as if there was a premonition, Zhu Tao arrived early, and Zi Zhen also came later. As soon as she entered the lounge, Zi Zhen frowned and said, "Nasty." ”
Zhu Tao turned her head, "Who do you mean?" ”
"That uncle."
Zhu Tao smiled: "Who?" ”
"That week will arrive."
"Oh he, he's fine, it's nice to tip."
Zi Zhen sat down: "It's really vulgar, even if you say your name, he will soon develop." ”
Zhu Tao smiled: "You are really picky." ”
"Uncle is waiting for me outside to accompany me to the wine."
"Not going yet?"
"I don't like Uncle Abo, I'm old and smell good."
Vermilion was silent.
"Vermilion, this is an opportunity."
"What opportunity?"
"Xiao Wang said that this week Huida is the owner of their advertising company, Zhu Tao, you go to socialize with him."
Zhu Taoyi: "Didn't you say that a group of people are all guys?" ”
"He doesn't want to admit it, afraid that someone will knock on the bamboo bar, in fact, the boss, the business income is good, a look at it will know that he suffered when he was young, struggled to this day, has loose hands, wants to find entertainment, I handed him over to you." 」
Zhu Tao was stunned: "What, why did you give up this good opportunity?" ”
Zi Zhen sneered three times: "I don't know how many such small and medium-sized bosses there are in this city, where to socialize so much, moreover, he is ugly, five short figures, a square head, and a wife and four children, not fat." ”
Zi Zhen said: "I slipped out through the back door, today I am on leave, you go to socialize with him." ”
"Hey, hey."
Zi Zhen smiled and said, "Next month I will participate in the Election of Miss Xiangjiang, if you get the first place, please eat shark fin soup." ”
She grabbed her handbag and slipped through the back door.
Zhu Tao did not treat Zhou Huida as a fool, she went out to greet him: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, what to drink, I will do it for you." ”
Zhou Huida saw that it was her, so he asked, "What about Zizhen?" ”
"She suddenly felt a headache, went home to rest, the girl was periodically uncomfortable, I hope you forgive."
"Hmm."
He is not a stupid person, naturally knows what happened, his face is heavy, but he is quickly cheerful, really, out to play is to find fun, why bother.
Zhu Tao felt that he had a large amount of equipment, was teased by others, and did not move, which was rare.
"I drink whiskey with ice."
"I'll accompany you."
"Zhu Tao, you know better than Zizhen."
Vermilion smiled but did not speak.
Zhou Huida sighed: "The work is dull and tense, I just want to relax and find someone to talk to." ”
Zhu Tao asked, "What about Mrs. Zhou, she doesn't chat with you?" ”
"She speculates in stocks during the day and gambles at night."
"Huh." Vermilion accident.
"Today, I don't have to worry about my income, but I find myself so lonely."
"What about the kids?"
He finally showed a hint of a smile: "The second son and the second daughter are very obedient." ”
"Well, talk to them more."
"For many years, I played the role of a traditional strict father, and I couldn't put down the shelf for a while, and I wasn't used to talking and playing with them."
It was a midlife crisis, Vermilion smiled.
"Vermilion, how old are you?"
"It's almost nineteen."
"I'm only three years older than my eldest, but i'm a hundred times smarter and more sensible."
"The children of the poor are in charge of the family."
"Bad family?"
Zhu Tao was helpless: "Otherwise, how can you find life here?" ”
That day, she chatted with him for more than 3 hours until closing.
He gave a very generous tip.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="575">05</h1>
Where did Zizhen go? Must be with the little king.
Bar Ah Liu said: "Come out to do this line, the goal must be clear, otherwise, do not want to go ashore for a lifetime." ”
Zhu Tao suddenly said: "Do any line of work, some people do not know to seize the opportunity, the work is playful, but also ridicule others do not know how to stop and find happiness, ten years and eight years of golden age has passed, there is no long thing, nothing has been achieved." ”
Ah Liu smiled and said, "You understand, Zizhen is still sleeping." ”
"Zizhen looks beautiful, it doesn't matter."
"Yes, this year the most beautiful is her, and next year there is someone else."
Two days later, Zhou Huida went to the honeymoon bar again.
Zhu Tao greeted her: "Zizhen is on leave, she plans to run for Miss Xiangjiang." ”
Zhou Huida said: "I am not looking for her. ”
"Huh."
"I'm looking for you."
Zhu Tao was very happy and poured whiskey and ice for him.
Only to hear Zhou Huida sigh: "Zhu Tao, my wife deceived me, she has another person, she has been discovered by me, the evidence is conclusive, and I have to divorce." ”
Zhu Tao was frightened and couldn't help but sympathize with this man, she didn't know what to say for a moment, just put her hand lightly on his shoulder.
Zhou Huida rubbed his face with his hand: "They met all over the world, many relatives and friends saw me, but I was kept in the dark, which was really humiliating." ”
Zhu Tao listened quietly to him.
"To make money, to do business, I have a little way, for women, I have no idea, and now, she turned around and asked me for a large amount of alimony." 」
Zhu Tao comforted him: "She is the mother of your four children." ”
"You're right, good to go, she's still pretty, my fatal wound is to like good-looking women, I really didn't expect ..."
He was already confused, he kept pouring wine, and soon he was drunk, and when the peach walked away, he left the bar, his coat, his briefcase, and forgot to take it.
Zhu Tao chased after him, and there was no other figure.
She thought wistfully: I really didn't expect men to be so frustrated.
The next day, he sent someone to retrieve the briefcase, and it was Xiao Wang.
Zhu Tao asked, "Is Zi Zhen okay?" ”
Who knew that Xiao Wang sneered: "People are about to fly up the branches, where is the time to see the little white collar." ”
Zhu Tao was silent.
The next few days, she saw ZiZhen's photo appear on the entertainment page of the newspaper.
However, Zhou Huida did not come back to the honeymoon bar, and Zhu Tao missed him a little.
However, she did not dare to contact the guests voluntarily.
In the bar, the lights are charming, three cups down, you can say anything, out of the door, the guests may not be willing to know them.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="577">06</h1>
Zizhen entered the fifteenth place in the preliminary round, and there was a lot of news, and suddenly became a new famous woman in the city.
However, in the final, she did not score in the first three, she failed, crying to reporters that the beauty pageant was dark and that someone deliberately excluded her.
However, after three days, the news fell silent, and there was another missed beauty in the city.
Zhu Tao asked Xiao Liu: "Will Zizhen come back to the honeymoon bar?" ”
"No, she's past that stage."
"Did she contact you?"
"Silly girl, she has long forgotten about us."
Zhu Tao was sad, but that afternoon, she encountered a happy thing.
She saw Zhou Huida, who reappeared at the honeymoon bar, and was much better off, as if he had solved his most troublesome things.
Zhu Tao greeted him with heartfelt pleasure: "Mr. Zhou, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Zhu Tao, please sit down, I have something to discuss with you."
Zhu Tao looked at him: "You look very good." ”
"Thank you, the company is doing well, and I have peacefully broken up with my ex-wife."
Zhu Tao nodded, "Everything can start from scratch." ”
"Yes, I opened a flower shop with fewer reliable people to take care of, would you like to help me?"
Zhu Tao was stunned, and only then did she realize that she had to nod her head and nod her head again.
Over there, the bartender Ah Liu's ear was pointed, and when he heard Zhou Huida's suggestion, he couldn't help but murmur: "Sometimes fate needs to be there, and there is no intention to plant willows." ”
Vermilion also left the honeymoon bar.
Qi is also called honeymoon in that flower shop, the scale is not small, there are three small trucks alone to send flowers, a total of more than ten guys to do things under her, Zhu Tao suddenly rose to the supervisor, subordinates called her Miss Zhu.
Like a dream, she jumped out of the sea of suffering and learned while doing it in the flower shop, although the pressure was great, she gradually got used to it.
Zhu Tao's greatest ability is to treat people with sincerity, humility and courtesy, and like her up and down.
Zhou Huida began to date her, and they gradually cultivated true feelings between them, cherishing each other and respecting each other as guests.
Zhou Huida had no worries, jumped three times in his career, and his property increased tenfold than before.
The most rare thing is that Zhu Tao and his four children also get along well.
Zhu Tao is a non-invasive woman, even if someone targets her, she only pretends to be unconscious, very calm, and Zhou Huida appreciates her the most.
The following year, the two eldest children went to the United States for further study, and Zhou Huida's relationship with Zhu Tao also matured.
One day, he went to the honeymoon flower shop and said to Zhu Tao, "The business is very good." ”
Zhu Tao smiled, "This month received ten wedding decorations, busy and dizzy, a bride insisted on using gardenia, this flower is so delicate, half a day yellow, had to be put in the freezer, waiting for the guests to come out before they arrived." ”
Zhou Huida nodded, "Zhu Tao, I have something to say." ”
"What?"
He took out a box, "Vermilion, let's get married." ”
Zhu Tao listened, lowered her head, and did not make a sound.
Since she was a child, she has been looking forward to this day: what kind of person will propose to her? Of course she hoped he would take care of her for the rest of her life, and if not, it would be good to take care of each other.
I didn't expect it to be Zhou Huida, although he was a little older, but he cherished her and loved her, and Zhu Tao couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Would you like to?"
Zhu Tao said softly, "Yes." ”
The minimalist wedding took place in San Francisco, where all four children came to observe the ceremony and then traveled to the Caribbean by steamboat together.
In this way, Zhu Tao officially became Mrs. Zhou.
Back at the flower shop, the guys all changed their mouths to call her Mrs. Zhou, and they were happy for her.
Everything that was not satisfactory had been left behind, but Zhu Tao did not give people the feeling of arrogance at all, and was still so humble.
Now she goes to the florist in the afternoon and spends the morning and evening at home with her husband.
Both their mother and brother were taken very well, and Vermilion moved into a spacious and comfortable house for them, hired a reliable domestic assistant, and the younger brother decided to go to University in England the following year.
There are no traces of the hard days of the past.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="579">07</h1>
One afternoon, a guest from the flower shop picked a dozen roses and smiled at the vermilion peach when paying the bill.
Zhu Tao was attentive, and she cried out: "Ah Liu, it's you, why don't you greet?" Almost didn't recognize it, Mimi, pour a cup of coffee. ”
Ah Liu saw that Zhu Tao had not changed at all, very sincere, and then said with confidence: "I am afraid that you have become the boss lady and do not remember us." ”
Zhu Tao smiled: "My memory is so bad, do you still deserve to do business, don't make fun of me, quickly tell me about the latest situation." ”
Zhu Tao invited him to sit down behind the shop.
"The honeymoon bar is closed and I managed to switch careers and run a dessert shop."
"What?"
"Happy times have stopped being popular in recent years, and you've gone in time."
"I didn't expect that."
"Everyone is happy for you, Vermilion."
"Thanks, you've all been good to me."
"Zhu Tao, do you remember Yao Zizhen?"
"Remember, the beautiful Zizhen has always taken care of me, and she is not married?"
"She's not doing well today."
Zhu Tao looked at Ah Liu: "Even if the beauty pageant fails, there should be other ways out." ”
"She played some unimportant roles in the entertainment industry, and later, it is said that she was tricked into savings, contracted bad habits, and now suffers from lung disease."
"What!" Vermilion jumped up.
"The environment is very embarrassing, people are old and haggard, and they borrowed money from me once last month."
Zhu Tao was shocked to the extreme: "How much to borrow?" ”
"I only gave her five thousand."
Zhu Tao opened her mouth widely, and the better flower basket in the flower shop would cost five thousand, I really didn't expect Zi Zhen to fall into such a situation, Zhu Tao was pitying.
Ah Liu handed over a note: "This is her address, Zhu Tao, you are capable and kind, or willing to go and see her." ”
"Definitely, I'll go right away."
Ah Liu smiled: "Zhu Tao, we are really happy for you." ”
At this time, the guy handed over a large bouquet of roses, three times more than Ah Liu bought, and wrapped it very beautifully, and Zhu Tao said: "Give it to you, a small meaning, no respect, come from time to time when you have time." ”
Ah Liu thanked him: "Zhu Tao, you have not changed at all." ”
Changed, how it didn't change, just got better, people are happy to accept.
Vermilion was delivered all the way to the door.
Seriously, she didn't want to have old friends come to her door from time to time to ask for this and that, but Zizhen was an exception.
She has always taken care of Zhu Tao, in the end, Zhou Huida was given to Zhu Tao by her, she called him Uncle, she thought he was old, thought he was too ordinary, and disdained to sit on his stage.
Zhu Tao remembered the past and felt like a dream.
She shivered, and if she were still working as a waitress in a bar today, it would be miserable.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="581">08</h1>
The next morning, she went to the bank to withdraw a sum of cash and asked the driver to take her to find Zizhen.
She saw her and left a note to say goodbye, relieved.
As the car drove home, Zhu Tao realized that she had been climbing so high in the past three years.
Originally, her position was Zizhen's, and Zhou Huida's first favorite was also Yao Zizhen.
That night, during the meal, Zhu Tao was obviously uneasy, and Zhou Huida found out and asked with concern:
She thought about it and decided to confess to her husband: "I met Yao Zizhen today. ”
Zhou Huida was stunned and asked, "Who?" ”
He had forgotten about this man.
"Yao Zizhen, an old colleague at the honeymoon bar."
Zhou Huida still couldn't remember: "Don't be too intimate with these people." ”
"Remember, Zizhen is a beautiful woman."
Zhou Huida shook the young wife's hand: "You are the beauty." ”
Wouldn't it be better if he didn't remember?
In this way, the world forgot Yao Zizhen.
Zhu Tao said softly, "One more thing. ”
"I'm pregnant."
Zhou Huida jumped up, too happy to speak.
Zhu Tao smiled and squinted: "I decided not to go back to the flower shop again." ”
"Yes, recuperate at home."
A chance encounter created her happiness for the rest of her life.
Zhu Tao began to believe that fate has a pair of big hands, pushing people forward, or entering the main road, or going astray, what is the personality of the person, and what is the fate.
At that time, Zizhen was bright and beautiful, every man would turn back and look greedily, she herself knew that she had such a charm, and she was very proud, and then, she planted one by one...
Zhu Tao walked to the big terrace, looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and couldn't help but say softly: "It's dangerous." ”
