The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 28 "Return Date": Reunion

Chapter 28 "Return Date": Reunion
The heel is as thick as a little fingernail, and the height is more than ten centimeters. Such high-heeled shoes can't make the slightest sound when they step on the thick carpet.

The five-star hotel with the highest turnover in the entire S City last year has a wide-ranging vision for the guests. All the facilities inside must be high-quality, including the carpets with delicate dark red textures.Basic vacuuming at least four times a day, regular cleaning once a month, and strict maintenance procedures ensure that these carpets are still as soft as new after three years of use.

Du Ruoheng stood in front of the door of room 1605, squeezed the brows that were still a little heavy, and after symbolically knocking on the door twice, swiped his card neatly to enter.

——Wake up people from the dark sweet dream at 02:30 in the morning, especially this dark sweet dream happened after two days of non-stop night shift. No matter how patient Du Ruoheng is, it is difficult to feel any pleasant emotions.

However, the hotel industry is such a status quo.360 days a year, as long as the hotel is still in business, as long as there are guests staying, any possible and impossible accidents can always happen at any time and any place.

There is no bylaw stating that a hotel has to be quiet and peaceful.In fact, it is difficult to achieve true peace and tranquility.From drunkenness to suicide, from loud noises to attempted rape, this hotel may appear to be peaceful, warm and orderly, but the stories that happened in dozens of corridors in more than 500 rooms in the hotel, before Du Ruoheng joined the hotel There have been so many tricks that it is overwhelming.

Someone kindly reminded her on her first day of employment that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.The excitement of the stories that happened in the entire S City in one day may not necessarily give up a hotel.

The room was in a mess, and pieces of glass, large and small, were broken all over the floor.A little girl was lying on the edge of the bed, covering her right face and weeping. The wine-red staff uniforms had been torn into a mess.Hearing the sound, he turned around and called out "Sister Ruoheng" as if seeing a savior.

Du Ruoheng walked over, squatted beside her, untied his windbreaker and put it on for her.Then he hugged her shoulders, and his voice was as soft as possible: "Don't be afraid, it's fine. Let's go to the downstairs room to take a hot bath, have a good sleep, and forget about it, okay?"

The little girl in her early 20s had red eye circles. She just dutifully picked up the scraps of paper that fell in the corridor, accidentally opened a door that was not closed, and then received her first slap in the face in 20 years. The pain was so severe that she was still shivering, clutching Du Ruoheng's sleeve and refusing to let go.

Du Ruoheng could only continue to comfort her patiently: "It's okay, I'm here, you're safe now. Let's go downstairs, shall we?"

The little girl looked at her and asked timidly, "Sister Ruoheng, can you sleep with me tonight?"

Du Ruoheng sighed in his heart, and promised with a smile: "Okay."

From being promoted to housekeeping manager to now, she has handled such incidents with ease.This is not the first incident of guests beating and scolding employees after drinking, and it will certainly not be the last.In a hotel where customers come first, the employees belong to the disadvantaged group to a certain extent, and many things like this are left alone.Even if Du Ruoheng was called, her handling process was also a little helpless - she could only comfort verbally, comfort, and comfort again, and in the end if it was really impossible, the hotel would provide a small sum of money as spiritual compensation.

Four or ten minutes later, in the fourth room where the elevator on the twelfth floor turned right, Du Ruoheng finally calmed the little girl to sleep.

From the bottom of my heart, she was actually impatient to do such a thing, but no one in the hotel commented that she was not good at comforting people, and no one said that she did not do well in the position of room manager.On the contrary, from the general manager to the grassroots employees, everyone thinks that the twelve characters of being patient, friendly, and clean and neat are very suitable for her.

Since he was an adult, Du Ruoheng has always been of noble character in the eyes of outsiders.The accumulated good reputation is enough to hang on the exterior wall of the hotel.As a subordinate, she is worthy of cultivation, as a boss, she is worthy of respect, as a friend, she is worthy of association.

She has only gotten one bad evaluation in these years, from her ex-husband - short-tempered, narrow-minded, cold-blooded, and worrying about gain and loss - the night before their divorce, the two had a serious fight, and her ex-husband Extremely angry, he gritted his teeth and said these fourteen words in front of her.

Although Du Ruoheng wanted to scratch his face with one hand at the time, in fact she did it without thinking, but she had to admit afterwards that the Five Fingers Mountain Range she scratched on Zhou Yanchi's face , Ninety-nine percent of them are the result of becoming angry after being exposed.

Du Ruoheng lay stiffly on the big bed in the hotel room all night, without any sleepiness.

She didn't recognize the bed, but she couldn't stand that there was another person lying side by side with her on the bed.This problem didn't exist before, and it gradually became apparent after the divorce, and it became more and more serious inexplicably.Du Ruoheng felt that this was psychological obsessive-compulsive disorder, but he couldn't find a solution, so he could only endure it.As she listened to the long and steady breathing of the little girl behind her, she felt envious and anxious at the same time.The night shift for two days had already made her uncomfortable, and the feeling of being extremely sleepy but unable to sleep tonight made her want to hit the wall.

Such a bad mood did not ease until the next morning. Instead, it was the unbearable headache caused by not sleeping all night that made Du Ruoheng even more unhappy.She patiently comforted the little girl who woke up. The latter didn't notice her emotional change, and gratefully proposed to have breakfast together. Du Ruoheng found an excuse to decline, and then when the other party got out of bed to wash He left the room as if he had been pardoned.

It's not that she hates the client, she just can't stand working with a mask on for too long.It was like diving for too long and she needed to come up for some air.

When I went down to the lobby on the first floor, I happened to meet Kang Chen from the front office.

Kang Chen is the most eye-catching part of the hotel.The manager of the Purchasing Department once jokingly described it as the largest movable signboard in the hotel just by standing in the middle of the lobby.There was even a little girl whispering in private, saying that Manager Kang, who was working, was like an angel, shining brightly within a [-]-meter radius.

The opinion of whether to shine or not varies from person to person, but Kang Chen's appearance is indeed far beyond the average level of ordinary men. What is even more important is his demeanor when he is working, which is not as capable as he filled in his resume. Growing up in an ordinary family in a small city, Du Ruoheng felt vaguely familiar with that kind of bearing, and only later remembered that she had felt it from her ex-husband Zhou Yanchi.

In addition, Kang Chen was parachuted into the front office department as a manager for half a year, and his excellent ability to attract the hearts of the hotel's middle-level management and grass-roots employees and even the guests has given him an unbreakable layer of masculinity. gold smock.

Kang Chen, who is in working condition, has always been dedicated to his work. He is neatly dressed in a dark hotel manager uniform, and even his peach blossom eyes can be set off a bit serious and formal.But when facing colleagues, he is much more casual, especially now that there are few guests in the lobby. His eyes fell on Du Ruoheng and he smiled within half a second, and Taohua's eyes were full of intentions or unconsciousness.

"Manager Du has worked hard. It's rare for him to take a break. He even asked the staff to come over in the middle of the night. It's not easy for people who work in hotels."

Du Ruoheng turned on the phone, turned it off again, and raised his head: "What time is it?"

"Eight o'clock. It's enough to have breakfast before the morning meeting. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's go together." After speaking, he couldn't help but push her towards the catering department, and asked, "Is the phone dead?"

Du Ruoheng hummed: "Lend me the charger later? I forgot to bring it here."

Kang Chen laughed again: "That's why you are too good-tempered and too dedicated. Under normal circumstances, the manager would come over as soon as the manager is called, and you should turn off the phone during the rotation. You can finally sleep soundly. At this time You should have a sense of righteousness and confidence, let others do what should be other people's business, and it has nothing to do with you if the sky falls."

"That is to say, when you take a rest, for example, last night, even if the sky falls, they will definitely not be able to find you?"

Kang Chen pinched his cuffs, still smiling slightly: "You can't say that. Although I don't guarantee it for others, if you call, I will definitely come."

The two of them came out of the dining area 10 minutes later, still some time before the morning meeting.When passing by the lobby, I heard something unusual in the front desk area, and there was a sound of quarreling.Soon Du Ruoheng was spotted by Xiao Wang Yanjian, who was on duty at the front desk, and waved to her desperately with the expression of "Savior, come quickly": "Manager Du! Manager Du!"

Du Ruoheng had no choice but to walk over, and listened to Xiao Wang complaining to her with a sad face: "A guest complained to our hotel room staff for spying on the guest's privacy, and asked for compensation and an apology, otherwise he would not pay the bill." The guest who hit Xiaoye last night."

Du Ruoheng turned his head to meet the guest, and raised his eyes, both of them were slightly taken aback.

Du Ruoheng's reaction was half a step faster: "Miss, I'm Du Ruoheng, the manager of the guest room department. There may be some misunderstanding about what happened last night. Could you please tell me the process and your requirements again?"

The other party stared at her through the sunglasses for a while, then slowly said: "I ask your employees to apologize to me and compensate me for my mental loss."

Du Ruoheng said: "Miss, our hotel staff have always been well-trained, and it is impossible to do things like spying on guests' privacy."

"You mean I'm slandering?"

Du Ruoheng was noncommittal: "Another thing you may need to know is that you slapped our employee last night, causing our employee's tympanic membrane to perforate, and is now waiting for repair surgery in the hospital. Even if it is a real apology, there is no way to complete it now."

The other party said coldly: "I don't want to waste time in your hotel either. Aren't you the room manager? You apologize on her behalf, and I can barely accept it."

"Until the facts are verified, neither the apology party nor the compensation party can be finalized. We can't just listen to your one-sided words. If it is the hotel's responsibility, we will bear it [-]%. But if it is not, we will not limit it Apologize against the fault of appeasing the guests."

The two argued for a few more words, and the other guest's sunglasses finally took off: "Du Ruoheng, what attitude are you talking to me with?"

The voice of these words was high-pitched and high-pitched, and Xiao Wang, who was watching from the sidelines, was shocked.Du Ruoheng didn't seem to hear the order: "Feifei, call the security guard, and give the lady 2 minutes to sign the bill. Remember that Xiaoye's medical expenses will be deducted from it. If she refuses to sign, please take her to the lounge and call the police directly. When the matter is over, remember to add this lady's name to the blacklist of our hotel guests, and refuse patronage in the future. If there is nothing else, I will go to the meeting first. "

Du Ruoheng has always been gentle and considerate to customers, even if they are unreasonable.Today's tough attitude was really abnormal, and Xiao Wang's eyes widened.The guest on the opposite side pointed at Du Ruoheng with an index finger and warned sharply: "Du Ruoheng! How dare you try this to me!"

Du Ruoheng pretended not to hear, turned around and left.

The accident in the morning interrupted Du Ruoheng's mind frequently in the morning meeting.

She stared at the notebook in front of her without moving. Kang Chen sat next to her and tried her best to shield her from her sight, but in the end she couldn't block the eyes of the general manager.Near the end, Du Ruoheng was asked to answer the reasons for the increase in hotel customer complaints in the previous quarter. After Du Ruoheng stood up, the meeting room was silent for a full minute.In the end, it was Kang Chen who calmly opened his mouth to make a rescue.

"Which year does the customer complaint rate have no peaks and troughs? It can't always go down ideally. It is not ruled out that there are objective reasons for the increase in the last quarter. For example, the air conditioner failure that occurred two months ago must be included. .Anyway, wouldn’t it be fine if it could drop further this quarter?”

The tone of Kang Chen's words had nothing to do with respect and politeness, the general manager didn't say anything after listening to it, he just rubbed his brows and waved his hands to dismiss the meeting.When Du Ruoheng walked out of the conference room, he thanked Kang Chen. The latter was still smiling and didn't say a word about her abnormality in the morning. He just said, "Remember to treat me to dinner later."

Du Ruoheng returned to the lobby on the first floor, and Xiao Wang informed that the guests who made trouble in the morning had been picked up from the lounge, and the bill was paid on their behalf, and Xiaoye's so-called medical expenses were also advanced.The person who came was not a policeman, but a young man in his 30s.

Du Ruoheng was calm at first, but when he heard the phone subconsciously clenched behind him, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, then asked, "What does that person look like?"

Xiao Wang regained his energy immediately: "You asked the right question, I was just about to tell you that that man is very good-looking! Although his expression is a little cold, his voice is very pleasant, and his eyes are deeply deep! Wearing a white shirt and a black windbreaker, but it just makes people feel very sexy! By the way, there are a pair of wings on the car keys in the man's hand... Manager Du, where are you going?"

Du Ruoheng replied flatly: "I'm a little tired, go up and have a rest."

When Du Ruoheng returned to his office, the first thing he did was to look for nail clippers in his handbag.When she was talking just now, she held the phone too tightly, causing her little fingernail to accidentally break halfway up the mountain. The pain caused her to frown on the spot, and Wang Feifei almost found out.

After groping for a long time, I couldn't find it, but I found some other hard things through the dark bag.When I opened it, it was a tablet of Paroxetine.

She hasn't carried this handbag for a year. Fortunately, the classic style is not out of date, and it was recently found out of the closet.The board is already empty with four tablets of Paxil prescribed from the hospital last year. It has been kept in the handbag and I forgot to take it out.

So far, she has successfully said goodbye to this little white pill for almost a year.

There are only two people in this world who know that Du Ruoheng has suffered from depression, the doctor and Du Ruoheng himself.Even Su Qiu, her close friend for many years, didn't know about it.

Depression is not uncommon and not uncommon, but it always has a cause.What Du Ruoheng didn't want to think about was that she couldn't give anyone a reason to say that Zhou Yanchi's wife suffered from depression, which was actually the result of Zhou Yanchi's drinking and drinking outside and she was unable to control it.

This kind of truth spread out, it simply made her unable to be a human being again in the future.

Du Ruoheng checked the expiration date and threw the paroxetine into the bottom drawer.The doctors hadn't guaranteed that her condition wouldn't recur in the future, although she hoped so badly that it would, so it couldn't be thrown in the trash just yet.Then she hung an out sign outside the office door, and then drew the curtains, and the lounge became dark in the blink of an eye.Everything is ready, and finally I can relax and go to sleep.

Too bad she forgot her phone.After only 10 minutes of light sleep, the vibration of the incoming call made me wake up.Du Ruoheng had a splitting headache. He clutched his forehead and took the phone over. He only glanced at the caller ID, then hung up the phone and returned to the depths of the bed.

After less than ten seconds, the phone rang again.

Du Ruoheng finally lost his patience this time.In fact, as long as she sees or hears the word Zhou Yanchi, her patience can always fade away quickly.So at the same time as the connection was made, the tone was quite cold: "Are you annoying or not, and are you letting people sleep?"

After she hung up this time, the phone finally returned to calm.

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Yanchi's secretary Zhang Yaran, who was holding the phone in a daze, woke up and felt like crying.

The mobile phone in her hand was handed over to her by Zhou Yanchi yesterday evening.Occasionally her boss does this, which is tantamount to implying that he is out on business and doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone else.That was the case last night.Her boss, who has always been wise and powerful, is dressed perfectly as if going to a banquet, and his appearance index is high enough to explode all creatures within a two-kilometer radius. Then he stood in front of her desk and told her lightly that he needed to go to S City with a clean ear, and asked her Book a return ticket on the same day.

Zhang Yaran immediately obeyed the order.I sighed silently while booking the return ticket until the evening, to be able to leave my beloved little daughter alone at home with the nanny for one night, this must have reached the point of longing.At this level, one night plus one daytime peeping is not enough.

Of course, she dared not say a word of these words.He just respectfully watched the boss leave the company, and then conscientiously guarded the phone all night.Zhou Yanchi's salary is directly proportional to his strictness, and she would not dare to neglect such a boss even if he is far away.Until early this morning, she received an unfamiliar number who claimed to be Wen Huai, and asked her to tell Zhou Yanchi in a coquettish and somewhat exasperated tone, saying that she had encountered a little trouble in a hotel in S City.

Zhang Yaran quickly searched in her mind like a computer, and finally remembered the most important characteristic of this Miss Wen—she was the direct trigger that led to the divorce of her boss, Mr. Zhou, and his ex-wife, Miss Du, a year and a half ago.

But even though she was involved in the divorce vortex, and this Miss Wen had known Zhou Yanchi for a short time, and she was not outstanding among the women who had a relationship with Zhou Yanchi, she still managed to get out in the end.In fact, among the women who have had some kind of relationship with Zhou Yanchi, there are very few stalkers who are ignorant and stalking.Zhang Yaran has reservations about the boss's private life, but she cannot but admire his methods.But once we broke up, Zhou Yanchi's memory of these women will be automatically cleared to zero. If there are any more calls to greet, Zhang Yaran will answer them for him, and then those who are coquettish or resentful will be blocked by her like a dam Stay tight, and when you want to infiltrate it, it fits tightly and does not leak.

Zhang Yaran originally wanted to deal with Wen Huai according to this regulation, until Wen Huai reported the name of the hotel, Jingman Garden Hotel.

Zhang Yaran looked up at the gloomy sun in T City outside the clear floor-to-ceiling windows, and said in her heart, look, this criminal world.

She hung up the phone very politely, then immediately dialed another private number to Zhou Yanchi, and quickly relayed the whole story and Wen Huai's cry.Hold your breath and hear a moment of silence over there, and then say, I see.

With Zhang Yaran's cultivation level, it is still impossible to guess the true emotional content of his boss from these four words.But she thinks she doesn't need to speculate more, she has already done what she needs to do.But soon Zhou Yanchi called back again and told her calmly that she should call Du Ruoheng two hours later and tell her that Titi missed her mother very much, and that she was crying for her mother the night before. Find Mom and ask her when she plans to go back to T City to see her daughter.

Then he paused and instructed, if she didn't answer, keep calling until she answered.

Zhang Yaran wrote down the boss's words word by word, paying close attention to the pauses and tone, even though she might not understand what her boss' intentions were.But she knew very well that her predecessor, who was sitting in this office more than a year ago, was transferred from a remote location because of improper handling of a certain matter related to Miss Du, and she didn't want to repeat the same mistakes.

Two hours later, she found a mobile phone number named "home" in the address book and dialed it.Dial out again.Then, from the other end of the phone, there was an indiscriminate disaster.

Ever since Zhou Yanchi and Du Ruoheng divorced, and his former secretary was transferred from a distant place, Zhang Yaran began to serve as the mouthpiece for the ex-husband and wife.Zhang Yaran has always had a good impression of Du Ruoheng, because after the divorce, she gave people a very calm and peaceful feeling, as if she really regarded her ex-husband as a friend, without any resentment or nostalgia.Every time Zhang Yaran called her office phone and was ordered to ask her when she would come back to T City to visit her daughter, when she would celebrate her daughter's birthday together, which account to transfer the stock dividend settlement at the end of the year, etc., Du Ruoheng was always gentle and polite, no matter what He can give a thoughtful answer to what he says here, and when he hangs up the phone at the end, he will softly say thank you for your hard work. The words and attitude are so beautiful that people feel deeply sorry for Zhou Yanchi who lost such a wife. feel sorry.

So the extreme impatience in Du Ruoheng's tone on the phone just now made Zhang Yaran wonder if it was just a hallucination caused by her not sleeping well last night.

Zhang Yaran didn't know what to do.It's not easy to call again, and I'm worried that if I don't call, the boss will scold me.To be disrespectful, she felt that her immediate boss's reaction after the divorce was far less mature than that of her ex-wife. After the divorce, contradictory behaviors always appeared and were irregular, and sometimes even subverted her usual enlightened image like a cruel and faint king. It was often tricky to get her to deal with things.For example, the two divorced at the beginning of last year. After the divorce, Zhou Yanchi didn't show up at the company for a whole week, and he couldn't get through the phone and couldn't find anyone. The secretary at the time was so anxious that he was like a headless chicken.In the second week, he finally came to the company. As a result, he ordered the employees to check the accounts with a blank face. For more than a month, all employees who were within ten meters of Zhou Yanchi had all their bonuses for that month and even that season deducted due to various inexplicable mistakes.

During that time, the company was full of mourning, and the chief financial officer could laugh from ear to ear when he saw the financial statements made by the company working overtime day and night.

Zhang Yaran waited in the company until night with anxiety.She had a premonition that the boss would definitely come to the company first and then go home. Sure enough, Zhou Yanchi stepped into the office after eight o'clock.Taking the mobile phone from Zhang Yaran with both hands, he first asked about today's company affairs, and then casually asked Du Ruoheng what his reply was in the morning.

Zhang Yaran swallowed her throat and said, "Miss Du seems to be in a bad mood. After connecting, she cut off the phone without waiting for me to ask."

Zhou Yanchi groaned.Then he asked, "Did she say nothing?"

Zhang Yaran looked at his expression and considered his words: "She said that she is sleeping and doesn't want to be disturbed for the time being."

The corners of Zhou Yanchi's mouth sank quickly.After a while, he left the company without saying a word.

Du Ruoheng slept until noon, and his mind was finally clear.

When she entered the passenger elevator, she met two regular guests of the hotel, and greeted Mr. Zhao with a smile, good afternoon and Mr. Peng.Jing Man has some highly loyal guests, but whenever he comes to S City for business or other purposes, he always comes to stay at this hotel unshakably.Remembering the names and appearances of these people, even their birthdays and background companies, is an essential quality for an excellent middle-level management.Du Ruoheng thought that she was quite qualified in this regard.

When I went to the seventh floor to check the cleanliness of the guest room, I heard a little girl whispering at the corner, saying that the manager Wu of the finance department is in a state of distress recently, because his wife found out about his cheating outside, and these days he leaves late and returns early, and puts his heart and soul into it Be a 24 filial husband and strive for leniency from your lover.

Du Ruoheng has already checked the bar in the guest room. Two bottles of Evian are placed in the innermost part, and the water in the bottle is about half a centimeter below the cap.She reached out to take a bottle, twisted the cap, and it was indeed opened.

The little girls are still discussing not far away. One little girl said whether Manager Wu will be divorced, and the other little girl said, are you kidding me? Besides, the two of them still have a child who is less than ten years old. Who should they divorce with? Who else would be happy after divorce? What about the child? What about his wife? Parents certainly don't agree.

Du Ruoheng walked to the door of the guest room and slightly raised the volume: "Huang Xiaowan."

The lively discussion came to an abrupt end.

Du Ruoheng said calmly, "Come here and change the two bottles of Evian in this room."

After nine o'clock in the evening, the day's work finally came to an end.Du Ruoheng went to the underground parking lot to pick up the car, and Zhou Yanchi called again.

The phone rang relentlessly, there was a possibility that if he didn't answer it this time, he would be ready for the next time, Du Ruoheng stared at the screen for a while, and finally pressed to answer.

But there was no opening for a moment.The huge parking lot was quiet, only the faint breathing of the other party could be heard.

When talking to Zhou Yanchi on the phone, Du Ruoheng would definitely not speak first, so she counted five seconds, and then hung up the phone neatly.

Du Ruoheng reversed the car skillfully, and when he drove out of the parking lot, he received another call from Zhou Yanchi.But she refused to answer it no matter what, she put the phone aside and hung up again and again.The gestures are so proficient that you don't even need to shift your gaze to take a look while driving.After such a long time, she received a text message.Du Ruoheng opened it while waiting at the red light, thinking, it's really strange, who sent it, what Zhou Yanchi hates most is typing on the mobile phone, this should be a coincidental spam text message.

At the same time when the green light turned on, Du Ruoheng finished reading the text message and almost stepped on the gas pedal heavily.

Her daughter Zhou Titi asked angrily in the text message: "Mom, why didn't you answer my phone!"

Du Ruoheng gritted his teeth for daring to take advantage of his daughter.Zhou Yanchi's shameless bastard once again broke her lower limit.

Du Ruoheng quickly called her daughter back and waited patiently for the other party to answer.It rang several times over there before answering. Zhou Titi called her mother unhappily on the phone.

Du Ruoheng apologized to her daughter in a very solemn and gentle tone, saying that she was sorry, baby, it was the mother's fault, and it was inconvenient for the mother to answer the phone while driving just now.At the same time, he scolded Zhou Yanchi ten thousand times in his heart from beginning to end.

The little girl who was four years old in two months was silent for a while, then suddenly sighed in a dignified manner, and said in a soft voice, Mom, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much.

Speaking of crying later, Du Ruoheng felt sad, and said after a while that mom misses you so much, and I will go back this weekend to see how you are, don't cry.

Zhou Titi sniffled and said that her father said that city S is far from city T, and you are very busy, so it will be troublesome to come back. My father and I will go to city S to see you.

Du Ruoheng said yes, and noticed that her daughter was still depressed, so she diverted her attention and asked what were you doing before the call.

Zhou Titi said that I was counting how many white hairs my father had on his head.Over there, Zhou Yanchi seemed to have interrupted something, and then Zhou Titi let out an oh, and added, I was lying on my father's back and counting how many white hairs my father has.

Du Ruoheng said how many roots there are.

Zhou Titi was happy, and answered loudly that there was none!

Du Ruoheng then coaxed in a happy tone, then go to bed after counting the white hairs.It's already so late, mom will call you again tomorrow night.

Zhou Titi clasped the phone in both hands and made a request, can my mother tell me a bedtime story tonight?

Du Ruoheng agreed of course.

The two divorced at the beginning of last year, and Zhou Titi, who was already two years old, was sentenced to Zhou Yanchi without much trouble, and it was the result of the so-called agreement between the two parties.

In fact, Du Ruoheng couldn't disagree.Zhou Yanchi is a cold-blooded bastard, but he cares about his only young daughter, obedient to every request, pampering him to the limit.In this situation, if Du Ruoheng wants to take Zhou Titi away, Zhou Yanchi will definitely not even want to divorce her.

What's more, she was still suffering from moderate depression at that time, and compared to the entire Zhou family, she was alone and alone, and she was no match for Zhou Yanchi in any way.Even the lawyer tactfully advised her to give up.She is not the protagonist in the movie. She was able to single-handedly challenge the court and the legal team, and finally compose a miracle with humanity and justice. She foresees a not-so-good result in the future. She opened her eyes and thought about it for three nights, and finally gritted her teeth and gave up.

After the divorce, Du Ruoheng was also almost responsive to her daughter.Before the divorce, she was actually sensible and strict when educating her daughter, but after the divorce she was always soft-hearted.Such a psychological change touched her deeply, reminding her of herself who experienced her parents' divorce when she was young.She was sentenced to her mother, but she could clearly feel the mentality of her father, who was originally a bit strict, trying to make up for it every time he visited her.

Du Ruoheng didn't hang up the phone, and after Zhou Titi went to bed, he told her the story of the mermaid princess.Her voice was soft and soothing. After speaking for about a quarter of an hour, she heard the child's faint breathing. She stopped temporarily and called softly, "Titi? Are you asleep?"

There were rustling noises over there, and Zhou Yanchi replied in a low voice soon after, "She has fallen asleep."

The two were speechless for a while.After a while, Zhou Yanchi said again: "Titi and I will go this Saturday, can you make time?"

Du Ruoheng's attitude was indifferent: "Yes."

"Well."

Du Ruoheng didn't even bother to say goodbye, so he hung up the phone.

She couldn't sleep when she got home, tossing and turning in bed.It was the end of September, the season of the autumnal equinox, people wore clothes that were neither thin nor thick, and breathed freshly. It was also the most beautiful season in S City.The moonlight water at night usually pours in from the window, like icy white satin, and the night is quiet, which can awaken many memories.

When she was 15 years old, she met Zhou Yanchi at her father's house, and she defined him as just a good-looking strange elder brother. When she was 16 years old, she was sent to study abroad by her father, and she was not familiar with the place of life. Zhou Yanchi, who lived in a neighboring city with her, was her only old friend, not to mention that she couldn't cook at that time. Want to point anxiously at Zhou Yanchi and cook her a Chinese meal for a tooth-beating ceremony.Later, it goes without saying that the two were together, returned to China one after the other, got married, and had children. In the eyes of others, such a sequence of development is logical and everyone is happy.

A golden boy and a jade girl, a pair of Bi people.There is no better evaluation than these two words.

And then, until now.The time has passed so long and passed so fast, without even having time to take a closer look, it became unremarkable in the blink of an eye.

Du Ruoheng didn't know when Zhou Yanchi began to be unfaithful to love.Or, since when did he have this idea.Or, had he been taking it for granted.She had always trusted him, and when she realized this fact slowly and slowly, she found out inconceivably that she and Zhou Yanchi had already been on two parallel communication tracks that could never intersect with respect to the word loyalty.

The next day when Du Ruoheng went to work, he ran into Kang Chen wandering in the lobby again.He was smiling and patiently chatting with the female guest.Some time ago, he couldn't see the beginning and the end, and the general manager couldn't find anyone. The appearance rate in the past two days was very high.

When my colleagues had a dinner before, while Kang Chen was out to answer the phone, Wang Feifei, the staff at the front desk, whispered to Du Ruoheng with red eyes, saying that the hotel hired such a front office manager, it was really the right person, so tall, so handsome and so temperamental Even as a decoration, it would be pleasing to the eye, not to mention Manager Kang's prudence and excellent ability.What kind of virtues does our hotel have? There is such a stream of immortals flowing into the hotel. Does the general manager have ulterior motives and wants to use this to increase the loyalty of our female employees to the hotel?

Du Ruoheng smiled and said that you are too fond of the new and dislike the old. Could it be that Xiao Ye, who is your partner, is not tall enough, not handsome enough, and not temperamental enough? Why is Manager Kang so handsome and unique?

Wang Feifei swears that of course she is unique, and that handsomeness is all precipitated, and Xiaoye can only be considered handsome at best.What's more, Xiaoye is young, so pure and ignorant that she is like a piece of white tofu, and it shatters when she can't bear to lift it. How can she have any temperament.

Du Ruoheng said that your request is too high.

As a result, the conversation between the two was heard by Manager Zhang from the purchasing department, who was not confused but still charming. He covered his eyes and shook his head with a vicissitudes of life. Hey, I am really old. Nowadays, the little girls only hear the newcomers laughing but not the old ones crying. Ah, don't even bother to look at us anymore, we are all old guys.

It made everyone on the spot laugh so hard that they couldn't straighten up.

Kang Chen watched the guests enter the elevator, waited until the elevator door closed, stopped Du Ruoheng who was about to leave, and asked her for the meal from the morning meeting the day before.

Du Ruoheng said, "When are you free?"

"How about this Saturday?"

Du Ruoheng apologized and said sorry, I can't make it this Saturday, I have something to do.

Kang Chen said: "It's okay, it's my fault. I will make an appointment earlier next time."

Du Ruoheng was even more apologetic because of his words: "Or change it to Sunday?"

Kang Chen snorted: "Sunday is not acceptable either. The old lady at home is sick and I have to go back. I don't know when I can make it back."

"That……"

Kang Chen smiled: "Let's talk about it later, as long as you remember it, don't worry."

On Saturday morning, Du Ruoheng was writing her monthly work summary when Wang Feifei called from the front desk, saying that someone was looking for her.

When Du Ruoheng went to the hotel lobby, a father and daughter, one big and one small, were squatting in front of the water tank watching the turtle.Zhou Yanchi was wearing a light-colored casual shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms.Zhou Titi's black and soft hair was draped over her shoulders, shining like a black pearl.Du Ruoheng approached and found that she was still holding a large piece of chocolate in her hand, and when she turned around to call her mother, her mouth was full of disorderly chocolate mud.

Du Ruoheng looked around for something to wipe her mouth, Zhou Yanchi silently handed over a handkerchief.She took it without saying a word, and asked Zhou Titi where the chocolate came from. Zhou Titi looked around the lobby, and finally landed on the front desk with her finger, and said, "That uncle gave it to you."

Du Ruoheng saw Kang Chen along the way. The latter was not wearing a uniform today, and he was slender and tall in a casual outfit. He was instructing Wang Feifei on the hotel affairs. His attitude was very serious when he was working, and he didn't notice the little girl's fingers. .

Du Ruoheng picked up his already serious daughter: "Let's go home."

While driving, Du Ruoheng thought about Wang Feifei's possible reaction just now.I don't know how she felt the moment she learned that the person who came to pick up Wen Huai happened to be her ex-husband.Thinking of this, his anger towards Zhou Yanchi deepened.But the person who was irritated seemed completely ignorant, and said in a low voice in the back seat: "What's the name of the person who gave Titi chocolate?"

Du Ruoheng glanced at Zhou Titi, the little girl was eating chocolate happily.You can't quarrel in front of your daughter, she thought.After a while, he said lightly, "Kang Chen."

Zhou Yanchi tapped his knee twice, and said, "Where is he from? I don't think he's from this city."

Du Ruoheng said softly: "Do you want to check your household registration or what? Haven't you digested your breakfast yet?"

Zhou Yanchi remained silent behind.After a while, there was a hint of helplessness in the voice: "I just asked casually."

There was an undercurrent between the two adults without a sound, and Zhou Titi who was next to him unexpectedly took a sip of chocolate, broke the silence and said, "Uncle Kang is pretty."

Zhou Yanchi stretched out his hand and gently tugged at his daughter's face: "You all know what is good-looking? Then Titi told Dad, is it good-looking uncle or father?"

Zhou Titi said decisively without thinking, "Uncle looks good!"

Zhou Yanchi glanced at her: "Go back and buy you chocolates."

Zhou Titi poked her neck: "... they all look good!"

"Two pieces."

Zhou Titi immediately changed her words: "Dad is more handsome and better-looking!"

There is simply no morals.That's what a mother would say to her daughter.Xin said that this is really a father and daughter.
