Volume 5: The Age of Storms Chapter 0770 Nan Yi's Song
The day after the year-end party, Chen Ruishi came to Nan Yi’s office.
"Can I introduce someone to you?"
"Sure, as long as he's competent for the job, it's no problem to introduce your boyfriend."
"I don't have a boyfriend. She's a woman and her situation is a bit special." Chen Ruishi said, a little embarrassed.
"Why is it special?"
"She is pregnant."
Nan Yi frowned when he heard this. "The company downstairs is called Yiwan International, not a charity. Do you know how much trouble you will encounter if you hire a pregnant woman?"
"What kind of trouble can it be? Pregnant women can work just as well."
Nan Yi rubbed his temple and said, "I can't explain it to you clearly. Forget it. Tell me about her situation and see if there is anything special about her that can make me relax my principles in employing people."
"Remember the memorial ceremony at the beach?"
"Remember."
"The person I'm talking about is called Dai Yinghong. She was Brother Lin's girlfriend. Brother Lin died in the Qiongzhou Strait."
"The word sacrifice is a bit big. A farmer works hard for the country all his life, contributes his agricultural taxes and levies, contributes food security for urban residents, and silently contributes to the reform and opening up. Unfortunately, he dies from overwork. That can be called sacrifice. Soldiers and police officers can be called sacrifices, and parents' sacrifices for their children can also be called sacrifices.
Crossing the Qiongzhou Strait is your own choice. Apart from improving your own lives, it will not bring any help to outsiders, but will create trouble. It is more appropriate to use the term "unfortunate death"."
"Brother Lin ran out of energy and couldn't hold on while trying to save people. How can he not be considered a sacrifice?" Chen Ruishi said unconvinced.
"Okay, okay, yes, yes, it's considered a sacrifice, and your brother Lin is a hero. But then again, you don't look like you have the ability to swim across the Qiongzhou Strait. Tell me, how did you swim across? Are you the one who was rescued?"
"No, I put on a life buoy."
"Oh, what kind of job does Dai Yinghong do now?"
“Selling sugar cane.”
"What is your education?"
"I studied economics and graduated from graduate school."
"Her education level is not worth much on the island. It should be easy for her to find a good job if she returns to her hometown. Why doesn't she go back?"
"I asked Dai Yinghong, and she told me, 'You don't understand how deep the mark that true love leaves on a woman's soul is. No matter what method I use, I must preserve the mark.
I want to stay here and feel his breath. I want to give birth to the child. To me, the child is a testimony of life, the rebirth of love, the continuation of life, and the motivation for living.
I think this is a very beautiful and pure love, which is rare. I respect Dai Yinghong and am willing to help her."
"How many months?"
"What?" Chen Ruishi asked in confusion.
"child. "
"More than two months."
"Let her come for the interview. What you just said can make me ignore the fact that she is pregnant. She may not be able to join the company. I still have to assess her abilities."
A love story that is too pure will never happen to Nan Yi, and he doesn't really believe in pure love. But that doesn't mean he doesn't respect love when it becomes sacred.
He will show respect if others can do something that he cannot do.
"Okay, I'll ask her to come over tomorrow."
"Well, if there's nothing else, you can leave." Nan Yi waved his hand and sent Chen Ruishi away.
The next day, Dai Yinghong came. She spoke fluent English and a little Portuguese. She also had a good understanding of economics. Apart from her stomachache, she was still a potential talent. Nan Yi kept her and gave her the same basic treatment as Chen Ruishi.
On the third day, after Dai Yinghong came to work, Nan Yi sent Chen Ruishi on a business trip to Jiangsu Province. His salary was not taken for nothing. After taking three hundred yuan from him, he had to earn back thirty or three hundred thousand yuan.
In the evening, Nan Yi took Su Meng to the theater of the art troupe to listen to singing art. A female singer sang "Xintianyou" solo on the stage. She sang very beautifully. Nan Yi listened with very intoxicated eyes. The female singer's performance was very special. The two elm leaves on her chest and a willow leaf under her belly button formed a cool music. The male audience listened to the pair of big white legs in fascination.
When his eyes had heard enough, Nan Yi said angrily: "It's insulting. Is it singing art or body art? It's just nonsense. I don't want to listen anymore. Let's go."
After saying that, Nan Yi stood up and walked towards the theater exit.
Su Meng was confused for a while, but when she woke up, she quickly stood up and followed.
Nan Yi stood outside the theater to savor the moment, and Su Meng caught up with him, "Boss, it was so good, why don't you want to watch it anymore?"
"Nothing, I just feel that the market economy is not a panacea for all diseases. It's still early, so I'll go sit with the college students."
The college student restaurant is not only a restaurant where you can eat, but also provides coffee. After 8 o'clock in the evening, it will turn into a bar. It is very mixed, but it also provides a place for many people to kill time. You can spend a whole day there for a few dollars.
When Nan Yi and the other arrived, Yu Chuan was sitting at a table, playing the saxophone for a guest.
Yu Chuan had only been playing the saxophone for a short time, and his level was very poor. Nan Yi was afraid of disrupting his rhythm, so he didn't greet him, but just invited Su Meng to sit at an empty table.
"Brother Nan, what would you like to order?"
As soon as we sat down, a waitress came over.
"Xiao Li, I'll give you thirty yuan and you'll accompany me to play in Asia for a few days."
"Brother Nan, your money is more valuable." The waiter named Xiao Li said teasingly: "What do you want to order?"
There are many unhappy seafarers in Coconut City, and there are also many profiteers with some money in their pockets. No matter whether they are waitresses in dance halls or restaurants, as long as they are pretty, they will inevitably be harassed by men. The words are similar to what Nan Yi said, but the amount is in thousands.
"First, two glasses of free ice water. For the rest, I'll ask Boss Yu for a discount."
Yu Chuan walked to the table with his saxophone in hand and said slowly, "Nan Yi, the university restaurant is an elegant place where saints often come and go. If a person is stained with the word vulgar, it is really difficult to change it."
"The elegance of a person is often supported by tens of millions of people. Elegance is based on the evil money and exploitation. Yu Chuan is an elegant person. He elegantly drinks tea that costs 10,000 yuan per pound and wine that costs 20,000 yuan per bottle. He listens to symphonies that cost 80,000 yuan in appearance fees in elegant theaters."
"Old Nan, you are so vulgar. You are so vulgar." Yu Chuan nodded at Nan Yi and smiled faintly.
"I, a vulgar person, took a vulgar shit and watered the vulgar flowers with my vulgar dung shovel. In spring, I picked the vulgar flowers with my vulgar hands and put them in my vulgar basket. Then I rode on my vulgar donkey and set off on the vulgar road.
With head bowed and body bent, he came to the elegant city gate master, paid a few elegant city gate taxes, entered the elegant city, came to the elegant villa, handed the vulgar basket with vulgar flowers to the half-vulgar and half-elegant maid in the elegant Yuchuan, and received a few coins tinged with elegance;
The elegant Mrs. Yu Chuan used the elegant scissors to cut off the vulgarity on the flowers and put them in the elegant vase. The originally vulgar flowers instantly became elegant. The elegant vase was placed in the elegant Yu Chuan's study, and she witnessed the elegant Yu Chuan writing on the document:
From now on, a vulgar tax will be levied on vulgar farmers, with a prepayment of 500 years. The signature also reads that the Gaoya Governor-General of the Gaoya Empire, Gaoya Yuchuan, issued a happiness tax order on Gaoya day.
You've only had a few days of full meals, and you're already pretending to be so elegant. Hurry up and give me some free and elegant side dishes, and give me two bottles of free elegant wine. I'll drink two glasses and immediately turn into a scholar to show you."
"Elegant places naturally have elegant consumption, so how can it be free or free of charge?"
"You grandson, you look so elegant, but you are actually vulgar. Ten yuan for two cold dishes, two hot dishes, and two bottles of wine. Hurry up, I have someone in the joint defense team. If you can't handle it, I will come to your place tomorrow to check your temporary residence permit."
Yu Chuan chuckled, ignored Nan Yi, held up the saxophone and started playing it.
Nan Yi waved his hands, trying to drive Yu Chuan away like a mosquito, but the grandson took a step back and continued to play the discordant tune.
Shaking his head helplessly, Nan Yi called Xiao Li over, ordered some side dishes, and ordered two bottles of beer.
After a while, Xiao Li brought the wine and food over.
Nan Yi concentrated his energy on his dantian, gathered his strength in his hands, and used a beer opener to open both bottles of beer in one go. He and Su Meng each had one bottle, and they could drink as much as they wanted at their leisure.
The college restaurant is the base for many seafarers. There are many people who have run into obstacles everywhere, have almost spent all their money and are facing the prospect of leaving Qiong Island. They drink alone here, and the sound of wine bottles rolling to the ground and clanging can be heard from time to time.
After taking a sip of beer, Nan Yi looked around and then turned back to look at Su Meng, "Are you planning to go home for the New Year?"
"No."
"Oh, if you live in the dormitory, you should pay attention to the house. Fireworks and firecrackers falling into the house can easily catch fire."
"I'll pay attention."
"Um."
Nan Yi responded, put down his glass and walked towards the stage.
Nan Yi took out a harmonica from the secret compartment on the stage and stood on the stage to fiddle with the microphone.
"That elegant man who plays the saxophone, come over and accompany me."
"What are you bragging about?" Yu Chuan stood in front of Nan Yi and asked.
"Will "Zhang San's Song" do it?"
"meeting."
"Start the tune."
When Yu Chuan's tune sounded, Nan Yi snapped his fingers with his left hand and swayed his feet to the rhythm. When the time was right for the harmonica to blend in, he started to play the harmonica.
After playing the melody for a while, Nan Yi leaned over to the microphone and hummed: "I want to take you to fly everywhere, to travel around the world to see things, without worries and without sadness, to be free and cheerful in body and mind, to forget the pain and the sadness... take a look, this world is not so bleak, we want to fly to that faraway place, take a look, this world is still full of light..."
"Zhang San's Song" is a song that Nan Yi likes very much. Excluding professional singers, he can be considered to sing it quite well among ordinary people.
The time travel did not ignite his singing talent. Compared to his previous life, he smoked less in this life, and his voice had not become rough and hoarse, but his voice was still not that good. He could only enjoy the feeling of being tall among a group of short people.
In this life, he lives a more relaxed life, with less psychological pressure. He is not either taking out a loan or rushing to a dinner party to ask for a loan. He does not have to use his throat-picking skills from time to time, and the braid in his heart will not come out of his belly button and entwine his legs, forcing him to kneel down.
In this life, he can travel around the world and fly to faraway places to take a look.
"I will take you to fly everywhere, to travel around the world to see, without worries and sadness, free and cheerful in body and mind, forget the pain and sadness, we will set out to wander together, although we don't have fancy houses and beautiful clothes, but our hearts are full of hope..."
Nan Yi was intoxicated. He was intoxicated by the singing. He closed his eyes and intoxicated by the light.
"We want to fly to that faraway place and see that the world is not so bleak. We want to fly to that faraway place and see that the world is still full of light."
Su Meng hummed along with Nan Yi, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She came to the ends of the earth, experienced hardships, disappointment, and despair, and also touched the two lights that belonged to her, one from Cheng Hainan, and one from...
Su Meng looked at Nan Yi with complicated eyes, and subconsciously hummed along, "We want to fly to that faraway place and see that the world is not so bleak. We want to fly to that faraway place and see that the world is still bright."
After the song, Nan Yi received some applause. He sang with great enjoyment and wanted to show off his talent, so he sang another song "Love Will Never Do/Chinese version of "Believe in Yourself"".
While singing, Nan Yi danced the "Consortium Music" version of the dog-leg dance, muttering in his heart that the Consortium Music's talk was pure nonsense. If Nan Youqiong got mixed up with some people who danced slutty dances in the future, Nan Yi would definitely break his legs. His son, Nan Yi, should not be so low-minded.
"What are you looking at? Don't stare at me. My son has been doing this for several years." Returning to the table, Nan Yi waved in front of Su Meng's blurry eyes.
Su Meng blinked her eyes and called back her soul, "I didn't see anything, boss. I didn't expect you could sing."
"It was new. When I was five years old, my teacher put rouge on my face and asked me to sing with a group of girls. She also asked me to go to the girls' bathroom to change my skirt. That was my lifelong nightmare. Those girls were so scary. They wanted to pull down my pants to see what was different between me and them."
"spit!"
Su Meng spat and picked up the wine glass to hide her embarrassment.
Nan Yi chuckled and stopped teasing her. But you have to say, Nan Yi has rich experience in playing house and has played the role of father and husband countless times.
After work the next day, Song Jia came to Nan Yi's office and talked about Dai Yinghong.
"Boss, Dai Yinghong is pregnant. Can you all help her share the work?"
"Share what? She is a salesperson, so the work is shared. Then, can you teach me how to divide the commission for the completed orders?"
"Well……"
Song Jia was left speechless by what Nan Yi said.
"Everyone has his own tasks and responsibilities. If someone has spare time to help others in addition to his own work, it only means that the work assigned to him is too easy and there is a surplus of staff. Since there is a surplus, we should consider layoffs and streamlining expenses.
Let me make it clear that colleagues in the company have no obligation or right to help each other at work. I will naturally make arrangements for who needs to help whoever, clearly assign work tasks, and distribute wages and bonuses reasonably.
Pregnancy is not a reason to reduce workload. Humanistic care will be reflected in other places, but not in workload. If I reduce her workload, it will be unfair to other colleagues.
If you want to be a good person, you can ask Dai Yinghong to take a long-term leave of absence. I will approve it, and then you can give her 300 yuan a month as living expenses. If you want to be a good person, do it cleanly and get out."
