Chapter 56: A Heart-to-Heart Talk with Ya Li

After Qi heard me say this, he immediately stood up straight and said, "Chairman, don't worry, I will certainly guarantee to complete the task."

I happily patted Qi's hand,

At this moment, Qi took the file bag from my hand and walked away full of confidence.

Good, the rest of the matter can be left to Shi Yong and Xiao Wu.

As long as we steal the file bag into my hands,

Everything will be fine for reporting to Kong Shi.

And give Qi a lesson.

This plan is not bad, my mood is great.

At this moment, having a little drink would be nice,

If there were someone to drink with, it would be even more perfect.

I suddenly recalled, the host Xiao Fang, the scene of us drinking at the hospital.

This Xiao Fang is also a straightforward person, drinking very generously.

I like such a generous person.

I really wish she would come over to have another drink with me.

I suddenly interrupted this unrealistic thought of mine,

My own wife is staying in the hospital's intensive care unit, yet I am drinking with another beautiful woman.

How would others view this?

A boss like that, who lectures others about being proper, ends up liking such things himself.

Besides, the host Xiao Fang may not necessarily agree.

I shook my head, laughing at my own absurd idea.

At this moment, Xiao Long pushed the door open again,

"Grandpa, Chairman Kang has something to see you."

Oh, Ya Li has come.

Ya Li coming is also fine, chatting with me would be just as happy.

I said to Xiao Long, "Let Chairman Kang come in."

Ya Li came in smiling, holding a bouquet of flowers,

"Chairman Zhao, how is your health?"

Xiao Long quickly took the flower and placed it on my desk.

I smiled and said, "Thank you, Chairman Kang, for your concern. You brought flowers again; please sit down, Xiao Long, pour tea."

Kang Yali saw Xiao Long and asked me, "Is this your newly hired secretary? I haven't seen him in the past few days. The young man is quite handsome."

I said, "He really is newly hired, only been here two days; I forgot to report this. Chairman Kang, this young man is not an outsider; he is the son of my good brother Li Ming."

"Oh, the son of Bureau Chief Li. He's grown up so much; back in Lanling County, you never stopped mentioning Li Ming to me."

"More than twenty years have passed, Li Ming has become a bureau chief, and his son is also this grown; truly enviable."

I said, "According to seniority, Xiao Long should address you as aunt."

Xiao Long hurriedly corrected himself and called out to Ya Li, "Hello, Aunt Kang."

Upon hearing Xiao Long call her aunt, Ya Li's face turned red like fire.

"This won't do; if he calls me that, I really feel like an old lady."

"There's nothing to be done; the kids are all grown up. We're also getting old, Ya Li. I advise you to marry early; having your own child makes a difference." I said from the side.

Xiao Long was very sensible, closed the door and left.

Only I and Ya Li remained in the room,

Ya Li said, "Brother Yansheng, you're advising me again. I want to tell you, what's bad about a woman being single? No burdens from a man, no suffering from childbirth."

I am capable of supporting myself; I don't need to spend a man's money, nor watch a man's face.

I feel I live very comfortably."

After I finished listening to Ya Li's words,

I smiled and asked, "You feel comfortable yourself, but what do your parents think? Aren't they also pressuring you to marry?"

"Brother Yansheng, that's true; I went back to Lanling the day before yesterday, stayed only one day, then returned to Zaocheng."

"My parents kept asking, when will I get married?"

"I'm almost becoming their heartache."

"Brother Yansheng, is marriage really that important? Among the people around me, I find that after they marry, they live very painfully."

"Marriage is the grave of love; this saying is not false at all."

"If I don't marry, I can continue to love forever."

"Ya Li, what you say may be right; marriage is painful. Life is like this painful; only childhood is happy, the rest is growth accompanied by pain."

"People cannot remain happy forever."

"You see the pain of marriage, but have you considered that marriage also brings happiness?"

"This happiness is different from love,"

"love is the sweetness of two people, while marriage is the happiness of a family,"

"you should experience each kind of happiness; otherwise, you would have come to this world in vain."

After hearing me finish speaking,

Ya Li covered her mouth and laughed,

"Brother Yansheng, you still speak like this; I want to ask you if you are happy today. There are two sisters-in-law,"

The kids have all grown up; I saw your son Da Jun, and he is now also a Vice President at the company.

But your son is taller than you.

He's quite handsome.

Every time he sees me, he is especially polite.

Then do you have more happiness than others?

After hearing Ya Li's words,

I truly didn't know how to answer her,

Am I happy? To outsiders, I should appear happy.

My career is successful, I have both sons and daughters, and I even have two wives.

I am truly a winner in life.

I laughed,

Ya Li, my happiness is something only I can feel. Sigh, I advise you to also experience this kind of happiness.

That is, the love for one's children surpasses the love between men and women.

Do you really intend to remain single for life?

I haven't figured it out yet, Brother Yansheng; there's no suitable partner. Living with someone without true love would bring a lifetime of pain. Ya Li then lifted her head, looked out the window, and said.

I want to ask you, what is true love? Ya Li, does true love exist in this world? I asked Ya Li.

Yes, you and Zhou Wei are true love. I came to the company and heard people talking about your relationship with your sister-in-law. You are genuine love. Ya Li said firmly.

Hehe. I laughed: "We are true love; it's the first time I've heard you say this. If Zhou Wei wakes up, I will tell her right away."

Actually, the feelings between spouses need a long time to adjust.

Indeed, in love, everyone shows their best side; only after marriage do they reveal their true selves. In marriage, one can only accept the real him, then adjust to him; together we muddle through day by day, day by day, and love will turn into familial affection.

The feeling between spouses surpasses ordinary love, because it has risen to familial affection.

Once it has risen to familial affection, whether husband or wife, they are the closest person.

Zhou Wei is now in the intensive care unit, and every day I think of Zhou Wei in the ICU.

I hope she can wake up, and be as before, chatting with me or arguing.

This painful longing is something only I can feel; today, Ya Li, we shouldn't talk about these things.

After I finished speaking, my mind again thought of Zhou Wei lying in the hospital bed.

My eyes suddenly welled up.

Seeing this, you truly love your sister-in-law. I hope I can also find my own true love like that, and devote my life to it. Ya Li finished speaking and took out a tissue for me.

I took the tissue and gently wiped my eyes,

Ya Li, I still wish you, as before, to find your love soon. Truly, a woman must have a home and a man she can rely on; only then is life perfect.

After I finished speaking, Ya Li fell silent.

At this moment, the room's door was pushed open, and Da Jun came in from outside.

Looking at me and Ya Li,

Then he said, "Dad, President Kang, you're both here."

I hurriedly asked Da Jun, "Da Jun, what's the matter?"
