174. A man full of flaws (3/5
The night is already dark.
It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, but Pujiang City was still lit like day. The stars in the sky disappeared by the lights. Only a faint moon was printed in the air, as if it was fake.
There are traffic flowing like a dragon on West Chang'an Street, and the CBD building not far away is lit up, and the arteries of the Pujiang River are constantly changing day and night.
Zhang Tan and Cheng Cheng's father Meng Guangxin were sitting under the overpass, looking at the traffic in front of him, chatting without saying a word.
Meng Guangxin is a social animal. He works in the bustling CBD. He is nominally from 9 to 5, but he always gets off work late at night every day. He is a crazy overtime worker.
However, the company never asked him to work overtime, and no one else asked him to work overtime.
He was voluntarily working overtime because everyone was working overtime, so he couldn't fight without working overtime.
He is a programmer, a 35-year-old programmer.
"I can't keep up with my energy, and my brain is no longer effective. I can't compare with when I was young, so I can only look for inspiration at night." Meng Guangxin said with a smile.
He has a fat body and a white shirt gives people the impression that he is a small size, tight on his body, and has a pair of small eyes on his round face, giving people the impression of being a silly and honest person.
Cheng Cheng is not like him. Meng Guangxin said that Cheng Cheng is like her mother, and her mother is a big beauty according to him.
The two sat on the stone pier of the overpass. Although the traffic was endless, the overpass was empty, and there were only bursts of autumn winds under the overpass. An abandoned blue plastic bag was blown around the ground and rolled past the feet of the two.
"Working overtime is not a long-term solution. It is too harmful to the body, and Cheng Cheng has to take care of it." Zhang Tan said tactfully.
Meng Guangxin smiled and said, "There is no way. The young people are too powerful now. If they don't fight now, they will not be able to fight even more in the future."
Zhang sighed and asked, "What are you fighting for?"
"Just become a supervisor," Meng Guangxin said.
Zhang Tan didn’t like anything. Perhaps Meng Guangxin was right. If you become a supervisor, you no longer have to compete with young people for their brain power.
He thought of Zhou Xiaobing today. He had heard a saying in the sales industry before. If he had not been promoted to a management position before he was 35 years old, then he would change his career quickly. He had no hope of fighting with the young people who had poured in.
You can't be young forever, but there are always people who are young.
"Why did you fight with someone?" Zhang sighed.
Meng Guangxin said: "Please don't let Cheng Cheng know."
"Of course, I won't say it."
Meng Guangxin nodded and was silent for a long time before saying, "They think I am a pervert."
The three of them said something before leaving, and Zhang Tan heard it.
"What?" Zhang sighed.
Meng Guangxin hesitated for a moment, opened his backpack, took out a red women's dress from it, and took out a long wig.
"..." Zhang Tan looked at him.
Meng Guangxin said: "You are the owner of the late night school. I don't want you to mistakenly think that I am a pervert. I think it's better to explain it to you clearly."
"I'll listen carefully."
"Today is the end of the month, October 28th. Every day of the month, I have to dress up as a man and go to the school to pick up Chengcheng."
Zhang Tan suddenly remembered that once he did see Cheng Cheng being picked up by a woman.
He said why did this red dress look familiar? The woman was wearing a red dress at that time.
He was shocked at the time, but Teacher Xiao Liu told him that it was Cheng Cheng's mother who came to pick Cheng Cheng up. Now it seems, isn't it?
If it weren't for Cheng Cheng's mother, Meng Guangxin's outfit alone would not have deceived Teacher Xiao Liu.
Unless, Teacher Xiao Liu didn't tell the truth.
In my ears, Meng Guangxin was still saying: "For a while, Cheng Cheng's mother would go to the kindergarten to pick her up and drop her off, but she didn't come later."
His voice was bitter.
Zhang Tan didn't ask Cheng Cheng's mother why she didn't come, and she didn't even dare to ask. He only knew that Meng Guangxin and his wife were divorced.
Meng Guangxin stayed in sadness and continued: "Cheng Cheng missed his mother, so I could only think of this method."
"But it is during the day in the kindergarten. I am easily recognized in women's clothing, and I will definitely be considered perverted, so I chose to pick her up at the Little Red Horse Academy at night."
"This time every month. I will do what her mother can't do, although I always do it wrong."
"I don't know if Cheng Cheng saw it, but she is very happy every time."
"I'm sorry, Boss Zhang, I haven't told you about this, but Director Huang and Teacher Xiao Liu know about it."
Zhang Tan's eyes fell on the high-end shops across the street. In the bright glass windows, beautiful and gorgeous women's clothing were placed, which was very different from the one under the overpass, but he felt that this one fell on the ground was even more precious.
He picked up the red dress, patted off the dust stained, and handed it back to Meng Guangxin: "I can understand. If I were me, I might have done this."
"Thank you." Meng Guangxin was full of gratitude, "I am not a pervert, please rest assured about this."
"Of course, how could you be a pervert? You are just a dad."
Meng Guangxin thanked him repeatedly.
Zhang sighed: "Then today, are you going to pick Chengcheng up in a dress?"
Meng Guangxin: "Yes, you don't know. When I woke up today, Cheng Cheng was very happy and looked forward to coming to the late-night academy so that he could see his mother."
Zhang Tan looked at the watch and it was 23:30. He stood up and said, "Then let's go, are you changing clothes here or where are you?"
Meng Guangxin looked around and said, "Just here. I just changed my clothes here. I was seen by those young men and thought I was a pervert and beat him up."
Zhang sighed: "You can go to the school to change your clothes in the future."
"Ah? Yes, is that OK?"
"Yes, if you don't want Cheng Cheng to see you, go to the door to find Lao Li. He will take you to find a place to change your clothes, and I will tell him."
Meng Guangxin thanked again.
He took off his black backpack and put on a clumsy red dress.
But he has gained weight and it is difficult to put his dress in, so Zhang Tan can handle it.
He put on his wig again,
Then take out the mirror and lipstick from your bag and start applying.
He glanced at Zhang Tan, stopped applying lipstick, and smiled awkwardly: "Boss Zhang, isn't it disgusting for me to do this?"
Zhang Tan said with a smile: "To be honest, from the outside, it is indeed not beautiful, but this kind of heart is the most beautiful."
Meng Guangxin was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "You are really good at speaking, you are the first to say that."
He smiled as if he opened his bloody mouth. If someone walked here, he would be scared away.
Zhang Tan said, "Is it better for you to shave your beard first?"
"Ah~ Yes, I forgot, I have a razor here."
He took out his electric shaver, shaved the beard on his lips and chin, then put on his makeup, carried his bag, and walked towards the school with Zhang Tan, which was only more than 10 minutes away from Xiaohongma's late-night school.
The two of them had nothing to say, and arrived at the late night school and entered from a path left by Lao Li.
"Mr. Zhang is back very late today~"
Old Li sat by the door to enjoy the cool air. When he turned around, he smiled at him with a bloody mouth, which was shocked.
"Shuo Shuo! What!!!"
I was so frightened by Xiaobai's Sichuan dialect.
Meng Guangxin stood there, very embarrassed.
Zhang Tan quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay, Lao Li is Cheng Cheng's father."
Old Li calmed down, looked at the bloody mouth, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's you, why did you apply so much lipstick today?"
Meng Guangxin smiled awkwardly. When he shaved his beard, he made the applied lipstick, so he applied it again afterwards.
“Is it ugly?”
Lao Li said: "Come on, come on, come to my room, I'll take care of you, don't scare Cheng Cheng like this."
Meng Guangxin followed Lao Li honestly and came out soon, and it really became much more pleasing to the eye.
Zhang Tan and he entered the building and saw that he had picked up Cheng Cheng from Teacher Liu.
Cheng Cheng didn't sleep tonight because his mother was coming to pick her up, and the little happiness in her heart made her unable to sleep.
Every once in a while, she would get up and look at the door. Why didn’t her mother come yet? She almost fell asleep several times.
Zhang Tan watched Meng Guangxin dress up as a woman, gave Cheng Cheng a small wooden doll, and took her away.
Cheng Cheng lay in his arms, his little hands tightly hugged his neck, and his little head rested on his shoulders. He rarely grinned his little breasts at Zhang Tan and smiled:
“Wow, thia~”
She is one of the youngest in the school, only 3 years old, and is a cute little girl.
