Chapter 34 A Thorn in the Eye and a Thorn in the Flesh
Lu Yan took off his hospital gown and put on the clean clothes sent by Secretary Shen. He looked back at Jiang Li, who was curled up in a ball on the hospital bed with his eyes closed. The wheelchair that slid out was retracted by some mistake, stopped beside the hospital bed, and lowered his head. Jiang Li kissed his forehead and murmured: "Wait until I come back..."
Jiang Li's eyelashes trembled slightly, but he didn't open his eyes, more because he didn't want to face him.
Secretary Shen was left behind to wait for Jiang Li to wake up and send her back to the villa.
"No, I have my own things to do."
Today, Monday, Jiang Li and Fan Peng made an appointment to meet at a second-hand piano store.
Yesterday, she was struggling with how to persuade Lu Yan to take a day off to discuss work. Now that Lu Yan had something to do and left the hospital, she was naturally happy and took the time to make money.
"Mr. Lu is just accompanying Miss Bai on a business trip. He will be back soon. Madam, don't worry too much."
Jiang Li's big eyes looked at Secretary Shen with a puzzled look on his face, "I don't care who he goes with and where, and I'm not overly worried. On the contrary, Secretary Shen's tone sounds like he cares more than me?"
As a woman, she is also a woman who is more sensitive if she cannot see.
Jiang Li had long sensed Secretary Shen's different thoughts about Lu Yan.
But she couldn't win Lu Yan's heart, and she didn't have the extra energy to manage other people's thoughts about her husband.
What truly belongs to you can never be taken away by others.
Don’t force anything that doesn’t belong to you.
Lu Yan is the one who shouldn't belong to her.
In the story, the only thing that changes the hero is the heroine.
More than a year ago, she signed up and hoped for luck, thinking that marrying him might be different.
Facts have proved that it is the heroine who is loved by the hero.
After more than a year of marriage, she realized clearly that Lu Yan did not love her...
She just needs to be the protagonist of her own life and dominate herself.
Shen Jing was exposed by Jiang Li in front of her. After being stunned for a second, there was no trace of embarrassment on her face.
She had been waiting for this day.
Before, Jiang Li pretended to be stupid and avoided direct conflict with her. He even spoke to her in a humble and flattering tone in order to get more information about Lu Yan's favorite itinerary.
The uncharacteristic change now surprised Secretary Shen, but in her eyes, Jiang Li was still a boring blind man with a beautiful body and no soul.
I don’t understand why Lu Yan refused to divorce and chose to continue living with such a woman?
"I mind, but I don't care."
Shen Jing understands Lu Yan better than Jiang Li.
Because of this, she knew that with Lu Yan's temperament, even if he remembered Bai Mengchu's love for saving his life, since he didn't marry her in the first place and missed it, he would never look back.
On the contrary, Jiang Li had already filed for divorce. The divorce agreement was mailed to Lu Yan's office, but he tore it up without even reading it.
This time Jiang Li hurt Lu Yan even more. He lied in front of her grandparents and still protected her.
This made Shen Jing refresh her view on Jiang Li.
Jiang Li also surpassed Bai Mengchu for a time and became a thorn in Shen Jing's eyes and a thorn in her flesh...
After leaving the hospital, Jiang Li took a taxi to Fan Peng's second-hand piano store.
On the way, ask the driver to stop at a nearby ATM in advance.
After getting out of the car to get some cash, he turned around and followed the address given by Fan Peng, then walked into the music store with his blind stick.
Fan Peng had been waiting for her at the door early in the morning, and he greeted her immediately when he saw her.
"Sorry, I have to come to collect a piano later. I wanted to invite you to accompany me to see the inside after signing the contract, so I moved the time a little earlier. Let's go to the piano store first. Auntie made breakfast. Let’s talk while eating.”
Jiang Li followed Fan Peng all the way into the piano store.
At this time, other employees went to work one after another. They didn't have any surprise when they saw Jiang Li, a stranger, and they didn't look at her differently because she was blind. They all greeted her with a kind smile.
"I mentioned you to them when I came back the day before yesterday. I heard that you restored twenty old pianos in less than three days by yourself. Everyone was so impressed that they urged me to recruit you to work with them every day. By the way, Learn from the experience.”
Jiang Li listened to the people around her asking questions, and she patiently explained them one by one.
"Okay, okay, don't get so excited when you see a pretty girl and scare people away from me."
"Brother Peng, you are talking about yourself. I told you to come over and open the door before dawn this morning. I saw my wife standing motionless at the door like a stone, waiting for Xiao Li with eyes wide open."
There was another round of laughter all around. After the conversation just now, everyone introduced themselves to Jiang Li.
Fan Peng's piano store is half a second-hand recycling company and half a piano training institution.
Apart from him as the boss, there are eight other employees, each performing their own duties. The only one missing is a professional tuner.
In the past, this kind of work was outsourced to specialized tuning agencies, but the level of tuners sent by the agencies varied each time. The demand for tuning by piano shops was large, and the cost was divided between the agencies and tuners. high.
So after seeing Jiang Li's tuning skills and efficiency, Fan Peng came up with the idea of signing a long-term cooperation agreement with her.
Fan Peng was teased by a group of subordinates. Before Jiang Li could show his discomfort, he blushed and yelled out in embarrassment, "Don't talk nonsense, Xiao Li already has a wife."
Although Jiang Li was divorcing Lu Yan, he didn't want his rare job to be tainted with other personal feelings.
Therefore, there was no explanation that she wanted a divorce, which allowed everyone to assume that she was married and saved a lot of trouble.
The others shook their heads in disappointment, feeling sorry for Fan Peng.
After all, their boss has been single for 35 years. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that he looks at Jiang Li with a different look.
Unfortunately, the flowing water has feelings, and the falling flowers have owners. Nothing can be done. There is no hope!
"They are a group of young people who are used to making fun of me. They are not very careful in front of you. Don't mind it."
"It doesn't matter. The contract is almost negotiated. The salary you proposed is very generous for a new tuner like me. I want to know whether it is due to my personal ability or because of other people's special care."
After Lu Yan told her what Meng Qingyan did for her behind the scenes.
Jiang Li also guessed that Fan Peng's order for 20 pianos should be a job that Meng Qingyan used his relationship with the head of the blind tuning agency to match her up.
I just don't know the relationship between Fan Peng and Meng Qingyan. If this cooperation is still achieved through Meng Qingyan's favor, she will accept this job, but will only take the salary she deserves.
Because of her ability, she is fully qualified for this job, and there is no need to lose a rare job opportunity for the sake of pretending to be noble.
Fan Peng thought Jiang Li knew about his relationship with Meng Qingyan.
Now it seems that his old friend has always been silently contributing.
But one thing is true.
"It was indeed Qingyan who asked me about the first cooperation, but this time you got the cooperation completely by your own ability. The remuneration I offered actually saved half the cost compared to contacting the agency to find a tuner alone. You don't have to feel burdened by the salary I give you. It is me who benefits the most."
After understanding this, Jiang Li took out the cash he took out on the road and put 10,000 yuan on the table.
