Chapter 11: The Bird with Broken Wings

The management meeting ended not long after, Qi Min told me that he was going back to the company's headquarters, saying that the old man was looking for him, so the company was handed over to me to see, of course I said that I had no problem, and signaled him to go with confidence.

Leaning back in a chair in his office, he closed his eyes and waited quietly, and his mind unconsciously thought of Han Yue and Wang Hao's affairs, should I go to her? But when we met, what could I say? A myriad of thoughts disturbed my mind, and my troubles resided in my mind and I couldn't find a way out.

"Knock knock. ”

The knock on the door brought me back to my senses, I said "please come in", Xiaoya at the front desk pushed the door open, and said in a polite tone: "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Li, who came to interview for the position of 'planning manager' before, came to join the company, but ...... It seems that the position he came to join seems to be the team leader. Xiaoya was stunned, with a puzzled look on her face.

I looked at her with a smile, "Got it, it's okay, you can go out and get busy first." ”

"Okay. ”

After a while, I also left the chair, took a pack of cigarettes and walked out of the office, happened to pass by the sofa in front of the front desk, and saw Li Zijie bowing his head and filling out the entry form. It was probably my sudden stop that caught his attention, and he looked up, his eyes quickly changed, and his face was filled with indescribable emotion.

"You're welcome to join us. I walked over and said indifferently to Li Zijie.

"Cheng Ting, uh no, Mr. Cheng, don't you think it's very surprised?"

"Accident?" I asked, frowning slightly, "why am I surprised?"

He avoided my gaze, swallowed, and continued to fill in the application information with his head down, and said no more. I chuckled and didn't speak, but walked out in the direction of the smoking area. I had just lit a cigarette for a short time when my phone rang in my pocket.

"Hey, what's wrong with Sappy?" I grabbed my cigarette finger and flicked the ash at the ashtray.

"When you get off work in the evening, let's have a meal together, I have something to tell you. ”

I thought about it for a while, and said briskly: "Okay, then I'll go directly to the flower shop to find you after work." ”

Unexpectedly, Lan Yu quickly refused: "Don't go to the flower shop, now the flower shop is not as few as before, there are many employees, let's just find a place to eat outside at night." ”

Although Lan Yu didn't explain to me what the reason was, it was obvious that the matter she wanted to talk to me about must be more private, so I didn't ask any more questions, and replied, "Oh, then we'll contact you in the evening." ”

......

At half past six in the evening, I went to the restaurant that I had made an appointment with Lan Yu on the phone, and when I arrived, she not only had already arrived, but also ordered all the dishes.

"What's the situation with you? You even ordered the dishes in advance, isn't it...... Are you going to invite me to dinner?" I sat down, surprised as I placed my backpack on a chair.

She took a fork and forked one of the cherry tomatoes from the previous bowl of fruit salad, "Yes, you guessed it right, I invited you to this meal." With that, he stuffed the cherry tomatoes into his mouth.

I smiled and asked her, "What's the matter, you suddenly invited me to dinner, it can't be something that asks me for help, right?"

"It's true to help, but it's not necessary to say 'ask'. She paused for a moment and put down the bowl and fork in her hand, "Cheng Ting, let me ask you, have you heard about Annanhua?"

As soon as I heard Lan Yu talk about An Nanhua, I put away the smiling expression on my face, was silent for a while, and nodded to admit that I knew about it.

"Tomorrow is the day of his trial, although I know that his end is certain, but I still want to meet him before he goes in, although I only recognize my cousin Anne, but Annanhua is my uncle after all...... So, I thought tomorrow when I went to see him, could you come over and take a look at the store, because I promised them to have a meeting together tomorrow, but suddenly this happened, and I couldn't help it. ”

I suddenly remembered that tomorrow Qi Min said that a customer would come to the company to discuss business cooperation, one of the three customers he had made an appointment with a few years ago, but Lan Yu rarely asked me for one thing, and I was also one of the shareholders of Dark Fragrance. I thought about it for a moment, gritted my teeth and said, "It's okay, leave it to me in the store, I'll go over tomorrow morning." ”

"Then, ...... from your company"

"It's okay, I'll just talk to Qi Min when I go back. ”

Lan Yu pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, then it's decided, I'll send you the materials for tomorrow's meeting." She smiled comfortably and said, "Alright, let's have dinner then!"

......

After leaving the hotel, it didn't take long for Lan Yu to send me the information for tomorrow's meeting with the staff on my mobile phone, but I didn't want to look at it yet, just glanced at it and put the phone back in my pocket, and then habitually lit a cigarette and walked on this bustling road. There is a shopping mall and a park nearby, and people come and go for a walk after eating, and everyone's face is either full of joy or a relaxed expression, but I don't know what kind of expression is on my face at this time, but judging from my inner feelings, it is definitely not a comfortable expression to look at.

The roar of car engines, the sound of square dancing, and the laughter of talking and laughing on the road seemed to be twisted into my ears, and for a moment I seemed out of place with everything on the road. And, all this inexplicable emotions come from the scandal of Han Yue I saw in the morning, no matter what I do, I always feel absent-minded.

I stood in a daze under the street lamp for a while, until a cigarette was smoked, and my messy thoughts finally had a home, because I made a decision: I plan to go to Han Yue's company now, if she is not there, then I will go to the community where she lives to see, if we still haven't met, it means that we have no chance, and I won't think about something anymore, just silently bless her and Wang Hao in my heart, regardless of whether those so-called "scandals" are true or not, according to the development of the plot, they will be together sooner or later.

Thinking of this, I didn't hesitate anymore, and first stopped a taxi and went to the community where Han Yue lived, because according to the distance, my distance is relatively close to where she lives.

Soon I reached my destination, and the person on duty in the community today was the same security guard I met when I came last time, but I didn't choose to go inside, but just stood under the street lamp outside the door and waited. Yes, I look like a fool.

I don't know how long it took, but the security guard probably saw that I had been standing at the door for too long, so he walked out of the security booth and shouted at me, "Hey, man, what are you doing there?

I knew he was thinking about the safety of the people in the community, but I wasn't in the mood to care who he was serving now, so I said coldly, "Excuse me, am I standing here in the way of you?" Or is it that even this street lamp is part of the community?"

The security guard naturally didn't expect what I said to be so prickly, he was stunned for a while, and finally held back the three words "neurosis", and then turned around and went back to the security booth.

By the time I finished my second cigarette, I had been standing here for twenty minutes, counting the previous time, but still hadn't waited for the woman I wanted to meet. Forget it, let's go to her company again, if you don't see it, it's a no-brainer, and during this whole process, I will never call or text her, because there is no point in doing that.

About 20 minutes later, I arrived at Han Yue's company, the Dinghui Group, which has been making a lot of noise in the advertising industry recently. At this time, it was already late at night, at the turn of winter and spring, the late night was still quite cold, and I was only wearing a shirt, and the bottom sheet inside was still short-sleeved, and I couldn't help but feel a little cold when I got out of the car, so I had no choice but to light a cigarette to ward off the cold.

I don't know how long I've been waiting, but there are already several cigarette butts on the ground that I have dropped, and by the time I finished smoking the last cigarette in the cigarette case, I was already about to leave. At this moment, I suddenly heard the roar of a car engine behind me, and I subconsciously looked back and saw that it was Han Yue's car!

Finally, my wait blossomed, and I was looking forward to her. However, I didn't know how to face her.

After a while, Han Yue stepped out of the car, and it was at this time that she noticed a familiar figure standing in front of her, so she walked towards me, until she saw that it was me, she slowed down, with a hint of surprise on her face, but it was only a flash.

There was a distance of about a meter between us, and she brushed her hair, which was tossed by the breeze, and said in a tone that she couldn't hear any emotion, "Are you here to find me?"

"Are you, and Wang Hao, really together as uploaded on the Internet?" Although my tone was very calm when I asked this, my heartbeat was accelerating, for fear that I would hear the result that I was most unwilling to face.

She looked at the several extinguished cigarette butts on the ground, muttered for a while, and said, "Why should I explain to you?"

Han Yue's words made me almost speechless, but I was powerless to refute, I smiled bitterly, sniffed, and said, "Yes, what qualifications do I have to ask you about emotional matters......

The expression on her face changed, and she was silent for a long time before she finally slowed down her tone and said: "The clear person is self-purifying, that is just a commercial behavior, when did you become so grassy and soldiery, even those media on the Internet who like to gossip and spread rumors believe it?"

"Because I ......" I didn't finish my words, and then there was a roar of the car engine behind Han Yue, and then there was a sound of sudden braking, the car stopped, Han Yue and I both looked over, the license plate number, even if it turned into ashes, I recognized it as Wang Hao's license plate, I was like a bird that just wanted to take off, and was suddenly knocked down by a gust of wind, and the bird that wanted to take off fell towards the abyss as if it had broken its wings......
