Chapter 16: The Coldest Consolation of the Century
In line with the principle of starting well and finishing well, Wang Mengmeng hurriedly replied to Lu Dan with an "sorry", and briefly recounted the incident to Lu Dan.
In order to meet the occasion, Wang Mengmeng sent a photo of Lin Guangmei and Liu Chengjian staring, told Lu Dan not to spread it, and by the way, he sighed again about "Maggie's Gift".
"The Gift of the Magi"?
Lu Dan on the other end of the mobile phone snorted coldly, exchanging his own valuables for the other party's extravagant things, and what else did he get in the end except disappointment?
Lu Dan put down his phone, and the doorbell rang at this time.
There is only one person who has the guts to disturb himself at this time.
Lu Dan got up and walked to the door of the room, opened the door, and sure enough, he saw Ouyang Duo's face.
"Running to my house on Valentine's Day?" This is not like the style of "Teddy" Ouyang Duo.
Moreover, what the hell does this guy look like he is full of loneliness?
"I have to go to work early tomorrow morning. Lu Dan stood in the center of the door, and he didn't mean to let Ouyang Duo enter the door. Ouyang Duo, on the other hand, ignored Lu Dan's "eviction order", turned sideways directly, and walked into the room from his side.
That's right, one of the secrets of Lu Dan and Ouyang Duo's friendship for so many years is that Ouyang Duo's face is thick enough.
Lu Dan, who was originally going to rest, only turned on a dimly lit floor lamp in the living room. Ouyang Duo was sitting in the living room illuminated by a shallow arc-shaped light, looking particularly lonely.
"What's going on?" Lu Dan sensed Ouyang Duo's strangeness.
"Committed suicide. Ouyang Duo exhaled tiredly, "A girl I dated before, ironically, I don't remember her name, nor do I remember whether I broke up with her. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and slowly buried his head between them.
"I thought it was just my own game, and everyone was willing to take what they wanted, but I really didn't expect anyone to commit suicide. ”
Lu Dan looked at Ouyang Duo lightly: "The suicide rate is increasing every year. ”
"But she committed suicide because of me!" Ouyang Duo got up and interrupted Lu Dan sharply, "If I were the kind of person who started from the beginning, she might not die......"
"If you're the kind of person who starts from the beginning, she probably won't fall in love with you. ”
Lu Dan's composure and calmness, and his words without any emotion, obviously have the indifference of rejecting people thousands of miles away, but they are more powerful than the comfort brought by any words.
Ouyang Duo smiled: "This is the coldest comfort of this century. ”
He sat down again, sank himself into the couch, and was silent.
Lu Dan looked at Ouyang Duo, then walked into the kitchen, and after a while, he took two bottles of mineral water and put one of them in front of Ouyang Duo.
Ouyang Duo didn't apologize, he directly picked up the mineral water and took a big sip.
"It's time to end this vicious cycle. He said.
Lu Dan's eyebrows were raised slightly.
This subtle movement did not escape Ouyang Duo's eyes, he grabbed Lu Dan's shirt and stared at his face tightly.
"Let go. Lu Dan brushed Ouyang Duo's hand away.
"When did you start to be like this?" Ouyang Duo said, gesturing his face with his hand, "Not only did you smile that day, but you also showed a surprised expression today. Lu Dan, has your mood disorder improved?"
Lu Dan thought for a while, and then told the truth: "Yes." ”
"Why?"
"Went to the counseling room twice. Lu Dan said, "If it can really be called 'effective'." ”
"Bring it!" Ouyang Duo stretched out his hand to Lu Dan.
"What?" Lu Dan's eyebrows simply raised.
"The address of the psychological counseling room. ”
"Not only did you smile that day, but you also had a surprised look on your face today. Lu Dan, has your mood disorder improved?"
Lu Dan looked at his mobile phone, observed the selfie software and looked at his face, but what sounded in his ears was what Ouyang Duo said to him last night.
Is it really getting better?
There was a sudden knock on the door, Lu Dan put down his mobile phone and said, "Please come in."
As soon as the words fell, Judy walked in with a stack of folders.
"Mr. Lu, this is the quarterly assessment form that has just been handed in by various departments. Also, the General Manager's Office sent an email today, and I need to confirm the specific matters of the activities of the nursing home......" As soon as Judy's voice fell, she heard a loud ping-pong sound in the public office area outside, followed by a quarrel.
Lu Dan frowned.
Judy wanted to see what was going on, but the folders in her arms were too thick and heavy, so she simply put them on Lu Dan's desk first.
As soon as she put down the folder, Judy saw Lu Dan's mobile phone screen on the table, reflecting her face.
Selfie software?
Judy was stunned.
Do you also see the beauty function to the maximum?
Judy's mouth opened slightly.
A slender, bony hand reached over and turned off the phone screen.
"What's going on with the argument outside? Disrupting normal office work also violates the Employee Handbook and directly affects the quarterly evaluation. Lu Dan said with a cold face.
"Good...... Okay, I'll go see which department it is. The atmosphere in the office grew cold in seconds, and Judy turned and ran out of the office.
"The door is open. Lu Dan said.
Judy's hand that tried to close the door quickly retracted.
The birthplace of the quarrel is the human resources department, and the specific location is in the seat of Chen Sheng, the assistant manager of the human resources department.
And the loud ping-pong sound just now was the thick stack of folders on Chen Sheng's desk.
Lu Xiao, the secretary of the human resources manager, had tears in his eyes, glared at Chen Sheng angrily, and scolded: "Okay, I'm going to play tricks just after I get to work?
"I repeat, I didn't play any tricks, and I didn't yin you. Chen Sheng pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, sighed, and said, "I don't have time to help you do your job." ”
"Don't have time?" Lu Xiao scoffed, "You still go out to play badminton if you don't have time?"
As she spoke, she raised her mobile phone and threw it in front of Chen Sheng: "This is your circle of friends, right?
"That's my rest time, what do I do during my rest time, do I also need to ask you for instructions?" Chen Sheng was already completely tired, "I work overtime until more than nine o'clock in the evening every day, and of course I want to relax when I'm tired." ”
"Relax? Are you going to relax when you're done with your work? I'll beg you to do me a little favor, if you don't help, forget it, just say it." Deliberately didn't help me do it, and went to the leader to complain, what are your intentions? You are happy to cause me to be deducted 500 yuan from my salary?!"
"I told you two days ago that I have nearly 50 employee evaluation forms to fill out, and I don't have time to help you sort out any meeting minutes. ”
"Don't come with me like this, Yang Feng Yin violated, honey-mouthed sword, villain!" Lu Xiao's voice was high-pitched, and her sharp voice could be heard in almost the entire office area.
"Lu Xiao, you don't say a few words, don't disturb other people's work. Judy walked over and said to Lu Xiao.
"It's not me who bothers others, it's him!" Lu Xiao glared at Chen Sheng and said, "Because he dragged down the whole hotel, so stupid, so dirty, how did he get into the hotel?
Judy wanted to say something, but when she thought that Lu Xiao was a "relative of the emperor" arranged by the chairman, she couldn't be offended, so she closed her mouth. In fact, the reason why Lu Xiao supported Chen Sheng so naturally is also because of this.
Everyone dared to be angry at Lu Xiao, but they just took pity on Chen Sheng, who was just starting out in the workplace.
"All employees of Huafeng International Hotel need to go through the interview of the department manager, the human resources department, and the general manager. Which department is the rat hole in your opinion?"
The cold and cold voice sounded like this, like a cold wind, rising on the ground, blowing everyone couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts.
The arrogant expression on Lu Xiao's face froze slightly, while Chen Sheng showed a sense of relief as if he had been released.
That's right, just behind Lu Xiao, stood Lu Dan with an expressionless face.
He walked over slowly, glanced at the papers all over the floor, and turned his gaze to Lu Xiao.
