Chapter 13 That home
The place is a KTV that combines eating and singing selected by Hou Jingming. The per capita consumption is 299, and the cost of five people will be less than 2,000.
Everyone underestimated Chen Man's alcohol tolerance. When Hou Jingming was unable to speak clearly, Chen Man, who rolled the dice, had not lost yet. Even Hou Jingming, who had always been unwilling to accept anyone at the table, was completely convinced.
Hou Jingming was drunk and accidentally said to Chen Man: "I have read the final draft of Lawyer Zhang's house. The design is indeed good. By the way, why do you still use handwritten signatures? Don't the designers in our company all have their own seals?"
Hou Jingming said casually, and Chen Man just smiled and said that she was not used to using seals, and signing was more beneficial.
Meow Meow on the side became cautious, obviously Meow Meow had heard the problem.
Miaomiao was Chen Man's assistant, and she could not know much about the process.
After approval, the final design draft will be signed by the designer and the docking construction party, one will be handed over to the construction party and one will be kept in the archive room. During this process, it will not handle other designers, and Chen Man's name will not appear on the design draft before the docking is completed. That is to say, after the design draft is put into the archive room, Hou Jingming has read the design draft.
Why did Hou Jingming look at the design draft?
This question drew a big question mark in Miaomiao's heart. Miaomiao originally thought that there were no good people in the three movies, but now it seems that Hou Jing obviously did something ulterior motive.
However, Meow Meow did not break out immediately. She was careful and could not alarm the enemy until evidence was found.
Seeing that the time was already up, Hou Jingming had a plan. He suggested that everyone's cell phones be placed on the table, and whoever calls the first call will be bought today, and the call must be opened with hands-free.
Everyone could see that Hou Jingming was targeting Chen Man. Because before suggesting playing the game, Hou Jingming and others set their phones to flight mode in advance.
The only people who can be selected are Shen Man and Meow Meow.
Twenty minutes later, the phone rang.
It's Chen Man's cell phone.
The screen showed a man named Duan Hongxia. When Chen Man saw this name, his expression became much more nervous. But before she could pick up her phone, Hou Jingming had already taken the phone to answer the phone and turned on the hands-free one.
Everyone's curiosity seemed to be raised to their throats all of a sudden, and the whole room suddenly became quiet.
It was a man's voice. Chen Man heard that the other party was the biological father who disliked her and sent her to someone: "Chen Man! Why haven't you transferred money yet? Didn't your mother tell you that the money was for me to see a doctor? Why, now that you have a new home, do you no longer recognize me as your biological father?"
The opposite was a man with a very thick voice, who was in his forties or fifties and had a very arrogant attitude. As soon as he got up, shocking news broke out.
My dad asked for money for his daughter and looked arrogant.
New home? Don’t recognize your own father?
Hou Jingming and others were stunned. Chen Man looked at each other and looked very secret! Chen Man was single in the archives, so what did this new home mean? Several people seemed to have discovered a new continent.
Chen Man took his cell phone and answered the phone, whispered to tell his father that there was an event today and that he would transfer 8,000 yuan tomorrow morning.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Man sighed, and the long-awaited mother's phone number turned into disappointment.
After being fussed like this, the dinner could no longer continue.
Miaomiao knew that these people were doing it on purpose. She angrily picked up the wine glass on the table and poured a whole glass of wine on Fu Jiaming's face. Miaomiao knew that these people dared to bully Chen Man so unscrupulously, and that it was Fu Jiaming's leader.
Seeing that Fu Jiaming was thrown into wine, Hou Jingming immediately rushed up to argue with Meow Meow, but was stopped by Chen Sisi next to him.
"Marty, we are too much today."
Chen Sisi's abnormal behavior caught Hou Jingming off guard.
"Si Si, what's going on with you?"
When Hou Jingming asked this, Chen Sisi did not avoid it. Instead, she stood in front of Hou Jingming: "Stop making trouble, okay?"
Hou Jingming succeeded on the surface, but felt very awkward in his heart. Sisi had never been like this before.
Chen Man lost. Looking at the small balance on her phone, she went to the front desk to settle the account.
When she returned to the private room, the battle between Miaomiao and a few people had stopped. Sisi's sudden actions caught everyone off guard, especially the old man in the third part.
"I called a taxi and I'll be here tonight."
Chen Man was like an outsider, not aware of Meow Miao's anger and Fu Jiaming's drinking.
After drinking, no one could drive. Hou Jingming had already been on the way with Sisi, but he still asked Chen Man to take a taxi alone. When Chen Man took a taxi to Chen Sisi, Sisi did not ask the driver to collect Chen Man's money and got in the car and left.
Chen Sisi in the car was very calm at this moment. She looked at Chen Man who was still busy through the rearview mirror, and her eyes looked a little free.
In the past, she regarded Chen Man as an enemy, so no matter how she tortured Chen Man or how she went against her, Sisi would not feel guilty. But now, Sisi suddenly realized that Chen Man was not the person they imagined. She was so simple that when everyone was deliberately targeting her, she could still believe that they had no ulterior motives.
Suddenly, Sisi had the illusion that her faith collapsed, but she didn't even know when Chen Man became her faith, just because of Chen Man's work ability?
Miaomiao and Chen Man went home together. Chen Man still looked very energetic when she returned home. She drank a lot of wine but didn't feel drunk. She only felt a little empty in her stomach, so she walked into the kitchen, took out two packs of instant noodles and started cooking.
Even the instant noodles are exquisitely made by Chen Man, with persimmons, lunch meat and eggs inside.
Miaomiao still said that Fu Jiaming was drinking and said that today's party was Fu Jiaming deliberately trying to tease them. However, Miaomiao was also helpless. As she thought, Chen Man still didn't believe that the people in the third chapter would deliberately target her.
"Have your family asked you for money again?"
Miaomiao knew more about Chen Man’s experience and simply changed the topic.
Chen Man nodded, and Meow Meow's expression became bad in an instant: "When will you give it? That little extra birth fine back then, and the inflation will be almost done, right? Why are you so stupid?"
"My mother said that my father was sick," Chen Man explained.
"I'm sick? Do you believe it too?" Meow widened her eyes.
Chen Man took a bite of instant noodles: "Actually, I really hope they lied to me. If that happens, at least it means no one is sick."
Meow Meow doesn’t know what to say anymore. When a person is so simple, being deceived is irreversible.
"You are planning to support them like this for the rest of your life?" Meow Meow asked.
Chen Man looked up and thought for a moment: "They don't have a stable job and have no income. My mother suffered a lot to give birth to me. Although that father didn't like me, they gave me life after all."
Miaomiao was speechless and too lazy to eat instant noodles. She turned around and went to the bedroom next to her.
When she returned to the bedroom, Chen Man started painting as usual. This old house has two bedrooms. Chen Man packed up a room specifically for drawings and paintings. There were many unfinished drawings on the easel, all of which were interior and exterior pictures of the old house she drew based on her grandfather's memories.
