Chapter 50: Life
The moment they stepped out of the campus and entered the society, there were a few people who were not helpless and confused, and everyone thought that they were the most special one, and they wanted to lay a world of their own with pride and ambition.
But soon in the process of stumbling again and again, all the edges and corners will be smoothed out by the melting pot of society, and in the end it can only become a grain of earthly sand.
We think we are sharp blades, but we can't pierce the iron wall called life.
Children who have been wronged will always instinctively cry to their mothers, but Gu Xixi doesn't want to worry Gu's mother. Holding the phone and turning out Chen Shiran's number, he wanted to dial it several times but finally didn't press it.
Because she was afraid that when she heard Chen Shiran's voice, she would want to cry.
After hesitating for a long time, I sent a text message: "Are you busy?"
At this time, in the office of the president of M and G companies, Chen Shiran was looking at the documents in his hand intently, while the administrative assistant Lou Kuan was sitting not far away and typing on the keyboard.
Hearing the vibrating sound of the mobile phone on the desk, Chen Shiran picked it up and looked at it, and saw that it was sent by Gu Xixi, so he put down the document in his hand, looked at the time, and unconsciously it was so late.
I was so busy all day that I forgot to call Gu Xixi. Thinking of Gu Xixi's bold words last night, Chen Shiran had a gentle smile in his eyes that he had never noticed.
But looking at the simple three-word text message she sent, Chen Shiran knew that she must not have gone very well today, otherwise she would have happily called herself to report the good news according to her temperament.
Chen Shiran raised his head and said to Lou Kuan: "It's late, let's get off work." ”
Lou Kuan didn't say anything when he saw Chen Shiran holding the phone in his hand, and asked, "Mr. Chen, do you need me to drive downstairs?"
Chen Shiran didn't say a word, only waved his hand, and Lou Kuan willingly closed the computer and walked out of the office.
When Chen Shiran was the only one left in the office, he dialed Gu Xixi's phone.
Outside the big floor-to-ceiling window was the night with dim lights, and Gu Xixi said a little weakly on the other end of the phone: "Hey." ”
Chen Shiran smiled to himself, he could even imagine that Gu Xixi must be lying lazily on the bed now and depressed: "What did you eat for dinner?"
Hearing Chen Shiran's gentle voice, Gu Xixi really felt that his nose was a little sour. Gu Xixi sniffed: "My mother made me a big table of what I love to eat." ”
Chen Shiran's low laughter came from the phone: "I'm really envious." ”
"What about you? What did you have for dinner?"
Gu Xixi was successfully distracted by Chen Xiran's gossip, and temporarily forgot all kinds of fatigue and unhappiness during the day, just like ordinary couples, what to say casually, you say everything to me, even if it is nonsense, I feel warm and happy in my heart.
Chen Shiran sat on the sofa and looked at the night outside the window: "I'm still thinking about it, why don't you give me some advice." ”
"You haven't eaten so late?" Gu Xixi glanced at the time in surprise, it was almost ten o'clock.
Chen Shiran pinched his eyebrows with two fingers: "I'll be a little busy recently." ”
"You can't ignore your body when you're busy, didn't Lou Kuan get you something to eat?"
Since meeting Lou Kuan's assistant, nanny and driver, Gu Xixi subconsciously thought that Lou Kuan should take care of Chen Shiran's daily life.
"He just left. ”
Gu Xixi was silent for a while and then asked, "Are you still in the company now?"
"Hmm. ”
Gu Xixi said "oh" and said, "Then you should go back early, it's so late, and it's not important to be busy with work." ”
Chen Shiran said, "Okay. ”
"Then it's okay to hang up first. ”
Chen Shiran still only said: "Okay." ”
Even if he still wants to say something casually to Gu Xixi, just listen to her voice.
**
After hanging up the phone, Chen Shiran picked up the documents on the table again and continued to read them.
In the more than two years he has been abroad, he has already developed the habit of taking a break every day when he has to deal with the existing work at hand.
Those who knew Chen Shiran well in those two years knew that he was an out-and-out workaholic.
But it is precisely because of this that Chen Shiran was able to create M.G single-handedly in more than two years, and was able to rise rapidly in such a very competitive environment.
Anyone succeeds for a reason.
When Chen Shiran finally finished dealing with the matter at hand, it was already close to the early hours of the morning.
The night that was originally brightly lit has become extraordinarily quiet at this moment.
When I got home, I parked the car and went upstairs, and when I pressed the elevator, I suddenly bent down holding my abdomen.
Seeing this, the security guard in the lobby walked forward quickly, and saw Chen Shiran frowning and looking very painful: "Mr. Chen, are you okay?"
Chen Shiran shook his head slightly: "It's okay." ”
The security guard was still a little uneasy: "Mr. Chen, we will have someone on duty in the lobby 24 hours a day, if you need any help, please call us." ”
Chen silently bowed: "Thank you." ”
Chen Shiran's stomach was originally operated on before returning to China, and he insisted on returning to China despite the doctor's dissuasion during the recovery period.
