Chapter 283: The Poplar Tree Protects Me
Yang Shu saw that the maintenance worker didn't come out, and he didn't mean to explain, so he didn't deliberately bother with him, but he went in first, and then used his body to help me block in front of the small ladder.
The poplar tree and I were close to each other, and the poplar tree protected me for fear that I would touch the ladder, after all, the little ladder didn't look clean.
It was quiet inside the elevator as there was a third person present and neither I nor Poplar spoke.
Soon, the elevator was on the first floor, and Yang Shu and I got out of the elevator with a sense of relief.
After the elevator incident, Yang Shu led me to the western restaurant, and the waiter led us to sit down in a window seat and gave us two menus.
"You can order it, I don't know what to eat, you can order whatever you think is delicious, I'm not a picky eater. I handed the menu to the waiter and said to Poplar.
"Alright, I'll do it. Poplar nodded.
"A steak with black pepper, medium rare, a foie gras caviar, a fruit salad. Thank you!" is a regular customer, Poplar quickly ordered a good meal and handed the menu to the waiter.
"Okay, wait a minute. The waiter took the menu and withdrew.
Soon, all the dishes we ordered came up, and I couldn't help but praise silently in my heart, there is a reason why this store can be recognized by Poplar, the first is that the dishes taste good, and the second is that the speed of serving the dishes is really fast, and it does not make customers wait for a long time.
Steak, foie gras caviar, salad, I looked at the dishes ordered by the poplar on the table, and quietly swallowed my saliva, to be honest, although I didn't do much work in the morning, I was still quite tired, plus I ate more casually in the morning, and the physical output value in the morning was so large, so in fact, I was already hungry, but I was embarrassed to say it.
"Eat, I see you're hungry. Poplar looked at the desire to devour the food on the table that came out of my eyes, and knew that I must be hungry.
"Hehe, you're really sorry that you found out, since that's the case, then I'm welcome. "I originally wanted to pretend to be a lady, but I didn't expect Poplar to know me so well, it seems that there is no need to fix all this nonsense with him, just eat it.
No wonder people who go to work are more able to eat, I understand today, not entirely because they have income security and feel that they can eat with their stomachs open and bold, most of the reason is because work consumes too much physical and mental power, so they need to make up for it after work, which also leads to all kinds of food orders and eats all kinds of high skin among office workers sitting at the table.
There's nothing wrong with me crying, as the old saying goes, being able to eat is a blessing, compared to some people who suffer from various diseases and need all kinds of taboos, what a happy thing it is to be a healthy and happy foodie.
"You eat slowly, and no one will rob you, if you don't have enough to eat, we'll order it later." Yang Shu saw my gobbling up food, and reminded him a little reluctantly.
"Hey, hey. "I know no one is robbing me, but even if it's close to food, I have the desire to devour it as soon as possible, so it's none of what anyone else does, it's entirely my own.
"Oh, you. Poplar saw that I didn't reply to defend myself, but just laughed dryly, so he looked at me and shook his head helplessly.
The whole restaurant is very large, the atmosphere is very quiet, the background music is a low piano sound, most of the people who come here to eat are more tasteful and quality people, so no one makes a loud noise, everyone is enjoying the music and enjoying the food in their meal.
Probably in the whole restaurant, only my eating appearance is the most unsightly, well, thinking of this, I can't help but laugh embarrassedly.
"It's still early, do you want to go out for a walk, I just saw that you were in a bit of a hurry to eat. Thinking of the way I had just eaten like a storm, Poplar couldn't help but smile in his eyes.
"Well, okay, let's go out for a walk and then go back to work. "I looked at my phone, and it was only half past twelve, which means that it only took us half an hour from getting off work to waiting for the elevator to ordering food at the restaurant?
I think it's a little incredible, how fast I just ate, I can clearly feel that my stomach is a little stretched, if it breaks, is it a work injury?
Poplar took me around the nearby mall, explaining to me as I walked, what it used to be like here, I was surprised by the changes in Shanghai over the years, I didn't expect that in the past few years since I left, many things have lost the shadow of the past, it is really new.
"Really? This used to be the snack bar?" I was a little surprised that the big mall in front of me, the big mall with countless large and small international and domestic brand stores, used to be a small fast food restaurant.
This shop is still one that I used to come to when I was in school, and then I graduated and worked, and I also met Poplar, and the two of us had a very good personal relationship, and I brought him here when I was bored, and then he also fell in love with the snacks of this house, and then ...... Later, a lot of things happened, such as Yang Shu falling in love with Lin Momo, such as I left Shanghai, such as ...... There are many, many of them, and I can't count them.
I haven't been here since, everyone is changing, some are forced by life. Some of them change voluntarily, everyone's life is full of all kinds of trivial things, and then they have a job and a family, and they don't have time to manage and take care of their hobbies.
I often hear people say, hey, this is not forced by life. If you think about it carefully, it is true, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, everyone has their own difficulties, and many people look glamorous on the surface, but in fact they are just good at hiding and covering up their unknown sorrows.
If you think about it carefully, I've had a good time over the years, I can't say thank you, but at least it's my own choice, sometimes it's better to complain about others than to face it calmly, so maybe I will live better.
Poplar took me into the mall and asked me if there was anything I wanted to buy, and he could buy it and give it to me. Because I had already gone shopping with Liu Xixi last night, I didn't have anything I particularly wanted, so I rejected his kindness.
The two of us walked around the mall, it was completely regarded as a meal, and when we came out of the mall, the two of us were still empty, and Yang Shu and I looked at each other and smiled.
"It's almost time to go to work, let's go back. I said to Poplar.
"Well, since you don't have anything to buy, then we'll go back early. Poplar said.
The Poplar Company is just across the street.
Walking to the door of the hall, Yang Shu suddenly remembered something, and said to me: "Lan Lan, my wallet seems to have fallen in the restaurant, the card is given to you, you go in first, wait for me in my office, and I will be back immediately." ”
"Oh, okay. I took the access card handed over by Poplar and said.
Knowing that watching the poplar turn away and the figure disappear from my field of vision, I swiped my card to enter the door.
Suddenly, there was no poplar tree by his side, and he took the elevator alone, there was no one at this time, and now there was about half an hour before two o'clock in the work time, so the company was exceptionally quiet.
Soon, the elevator stopped on the 28th floor, and I stepped out of the elevator, thinking that there was no one in the business like below, so I went straight in.
Walking listlessly in the aisle, I suddenly heard someone talking from the other side of the lounge.
Curiosity led me to take a look, and because the atmosphere was so eerie, I unconsciously lowered the sound of my footsteps.
"Mr. Yang, usually serious, I didn't expect to be such a person. A girl said.
"Oh, who says it's not, we are all in harmony on weekdays, even if someone makes a mistake at work, he has never scolded anyone loudly, he has a gentle temper, I always thought he was a perfect man, but I didn't expect to be a scumbag who cheated on and raised a junior!" said another girl, her tone full of heart-wrenching regret and disgust.
"Hey, don't say it, his junior is really good-looking, white-skinned and beautiful, he wants to have a face and a figure, and sure enough, men are lustful animals. "It's still the same girl from before.
"Vixen! What's the use of being good-looking, with such a bad character, I don't know if other people's husbands can't covet it, and I don't even have a woman's minimum self-respect and self-love, is being beautiful just to seduce other people's husbands?" This time it was the woman who scolded the poplar tree, I was a little ignorant, they seemed to be talking about me and poplar, but it didn't seem to be.
"Isn't Mr. Yang already divorced, if they were together after Mr. Yang's divorce, they can't say that they are juniors, it's a bit too much for you to say that. The girl finally said a fair word.
"Hmph! Look at the two of them today, you know that they must not be together for a day or two, how long has Mr. Yang been divorced, this woman must have caused Mr. Yang and his wife to break up with the mistress, is there any reason in this world, the man cheated on the mistress, and actually brought it to work, and it was called a personal assistant, what kind of reason to help, I think it is convenient to make a date. ”
This girl's tone has always been like eating **, no matter what our relationship is, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with her, right?
I was also drunk to hear it, the first time I saw someone who liked to add drama to himself, this woman was a relative and friend of Mr. Yang's wife, or was it the victim of their marriage?
Hehe, for this kind of person, I don't want to say anything other than a hehe.
I listened to their conversation roughly, in short, I was a junior raised by Poplar, ruined his family and marriage, and was heinous and unforgivable.
Hey, Poplar is married? Why haven't I heard of it? Or did I hear it wrong? Didn't they say it to the two of us at all?
Forehead...... With a black line on my face, I can only say that I choose to retreat.
I quietly retreated from the door of the lounge, tiptoed to Poplar's office, and gently closed the door, I exhaled, thinking that I could finally relax and not have to be a thief anymore.
I sat on the sofa and savored their conversation carefully, I think nine times out of ten they are talking about me and Poplar, although I didn't mention my name, but from their descriptions of appearance and the name of Poplar, I can see that they really misunderstood the two of us.
I sat alone on the couch and thought for a long time, not even noticing that the poplar tree had come in.
"What are you thinking? I've been in a daze for a while. Poplar asked, sitting next to me.
"Oh, it's okay, just think about what I can do this afternoon, I can't just eat a good meal from the boss on the first day of work and do nothing. "I haven't organized the language to speak to Yang Shu yet, so I'm just making an excuse to fool around, and I'll talk about it when I have a chance later.
