Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

The man felt his gaze, glanced at Yun Jixing, smiled with a warning, and said, "Jianming, Xiaoling, as a civil servant, you are supposed to serve the people. Your work this time was very inadequate and you have to accept the criticism. It just so happens that we know Mr. Yun, so we can meet up and have a good chat. You should take this opportunity to sincerely apologize to Mr. Yun and Miss Yu. You should learn from this and no matter whether you are in this industry or not, you should not be so impatient in your conduct and work."

With his introduction, Xiong Wanling and Cao Jianming picked up their wine glasses and walked to Yun Jixing and Yu Ru to toast them.

Xiong Wanling bent down slightly and smiled apologetically, "Boss Yun, Miss Yu, I have clearly realized that what I did was wrong. I am really sorry for what I said that day because something happened at home. I was a little angry. I am really sorry."

As soon as she finished speaking, Cao Jianming smiled flatteringly and continued, "Yes, yes, Mr. Yun, Ms. Yu, I am really sorry for what happened to you that day. We have deeply realized our mistakes and hope that you can forgive us."

Yun Jixing had a faint smile on his face, and looked at the two of them in an unfathomable way, and said, "Ms. Xiong, Mr. Cao, it turns out that your language skills are quite good, but there is one shortcoming. You have to respect the clothes before the person, and respect the skin before the soul. This is not a good habit."

After these words were spoken, Xiong Wanling and Cao Jianming's smiles froze on their faces and they didn't know how to respond.

Yu Ru turned to look at Yun Jixing, somewhat surprised at his current appearance. She felt that Yun Jixing seemed to have changed. He was no longer as gentle as before, but exuded a sense of oppression and depth, and his age had suddenly increased, not even like a man in his twenties.

She was a little bit scared of him. It was too scary and divisive that a man who usually spoke softly and gently suddenly became weird.

……

After coming out of Daoxianggui, Yunjixing felt that Yu Ru seemed a little unhappy, so he asked after getting in the car, "Aru, what's wrong? Was there someone you didn't like just now that made you unhappy?"

Yu Ru turned her head to look at him, shook her head, stared at him for a while, then took out her cell phone and started typing.

Soon, Yun Jixing received a message from her on his mobile phone: I feel so tired sitting with them. I feel like none of them can talk properly. There must be something behind their words.

"Aru, what do you think is the hidden meaning of what they said?" Yun Jixing asked with a smile.

Yu Ru lowered his eyes and stared at his knees for a while, then sent a message to Yun Jixing:

Bald man: The leader has set his sights on me. I want to find someone to take the blame. You guys can handle it.

Mediterranean people: Even if the temple is dilapidated and the monks are ugly, they still look down on the Buddha.

Octopus Man with Glasses: This is your territory, you are the one who makes the decision. I can’t solve any problems if they occur.

Big Belly Man: It’s good for only a few of us to know about this matter. Don’t make a big fuss about it. It will affect the reputation of the police station and will not benefit anyone.

Japanese melon man: This woman is my relative, but her misbehavior has nothing to do with me, so don’t blame me.

There are two others whose identities I didn't hear, but they are probably pretending as well, trying to use their halo and knowledge to make us subconsciously admire and respect them. These two should be the most insidious.

Looking at the messages Yu Ru sent him on his phone, Yun Jixing chuckled a few times, "Aru, the names you picked are so fitting."

Yu Ru looked at him expressionlessly, seeming a little speechless about his focus.

Yun Jixing quickly said, "Aru, you and I are thinking the same thing. I also feel that those people want to say the same thing. But there is nothing we can do. This is how society is. People like to say things in a roundabout way. In order to get along with others and get out of this situation as unscathed as possible, we can only learn and adapt to this kind of language and this kind of environment.

Sometimes I feel helpless and annoyed about these people. They are all living off their parents and endangering the people. I can't avoid communicating with people like them. Like the ones today, they are very pretentious, but there are always people better than you. If they are so presumptuous today, someone might fall tomorrow. If there is news like that, I will tell you the first time, how about that? "

Yu Ru looked at him in silence for a while, then sent him another message: OK. I feel that social etiquette is only applicable to slightly normal people, but not to those bald men today. Every word was respectful and sarcastic, and I just wanted to press their faces into the pot of soup on the table.

I feel very sad that a group of dishonest and low-class people used tricks to get into the upper class, but their virtues did not match their positions, and they turned around and trampled on the millions of people who helped them get to the top.

Those who are around them must be corrupt and wicked, abandoning morality and following evil to save themselves. It is because there are so many such pests that the country's development speed is slowed down and many ordinary people have to work so hard. I feel sick to sit and talk with such people.

I don't know about rich people and powerful people, but there is a saying since ancient times: Kindness does not lead troops, justice does not raise wealth, goodness does not serve as an official, affection does not establish affairs, and benevolence does not engage in politics. If I were your wife, would I often have to face such situations and such despicable people?

I understand that as a human being, one cannot avoid the ways of the world at any time or in any place. Being in a higher position requires one to be able to adapt to various situations. Flattery, humility, courtesy, or even humiliation are all normal.

But I still want to stay in my comfort zone and don't want to make things difficult for myself, just like now, living in my own little world. I forgot to mention something when I rejected you before, and today's incident suddenly reminded me of it.

I have to tell you in advance that I can be a good wife and take care of the family, but that's all. I can't be a good helper. I don't have that ability. If you hope that your wife can be a good helper, then we can say goodbye now.

Yun Jixing looked into Yu Ru's eyes tenderly, his lips pursed a few times, and after a while he spoke, "Aru, the world outside is very dangerous, but I will try my best not to let you face such a situation.

You don't have to follow me around to socialize and deal with others. I will tell you everything I hear and see, so that you can understand things and the diversity of species from many aspects. In fact, to be a little conceited, I have built my business to this point partly by relying on my family, and partly by my ability rather than by forming cliques with others, so you don't need to follow me to get along with everyone.

Many things don't necessarily require you and me to show up. Usually, middlemen are arranged to handle them, and orders are issued layer by layer. We just need to see the results. Things like today don't necessarily require you and me to show up, but I think this is a bit special. I want them to apologize to you in person, otherwise it will be difficult to let go of the anger in my heart."

After a pause, he continued, "Aru, even if I take you out, I will definitely let you be the boss among the group of people. I have already decided that I will only take you out if the dinner party is almost centered around me, and I will never let you suffer any grievances.

Even if you really become my wife, you are still you, you can still work hard in the field you like, whatever you want to do, I will do my best to help you clear all obstacles. What you are like, I want my wife to be like that, what I mean is, I don’t want my wife to be someone like you, but... I want you to be my wife. "

Yu Ru didn't dare to look at him again. Instead, she lowered her eyes, slightly frowned and slowly turned her head away. Her ears and cheeks suddenly felt hot, and this feeling made her very uncomfortable.

She then leaned slightly to the side and sent a message to Yunjixing to change the subject: I am not ready to be your wife yet, let's talk about it next time. Why do those people seem to be both not afraid of you and afraid of you? I thought they would kneel down and slap themselves in the face to beg for forgiveness. Will I offend anyone by doing this today?
