Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Dark Surge Stirs
After this conversation, Gu Nanqiao did not go to the rehearsal hall again, and when she gave the answer, it could be clearly seen that Xia Liyan's face sank, in stark contrast to Guo Xiaodong's overflowing joy.
Guo Xiaodong couldn't have imagined that she calculated and wanted to snatch the role from Gu Nanqiao, but she didn't get anything several times, but in the end, Gu Nanqiao personally cut off her life in the Peking Opera Troupe in Province B.
Since it is a multiple-choice question, Gu Nanqiao is reluctant to fill the garden with spring, so it is naturally the Peking Opera Troupe of Province B that is abandoned.
It seems that Gu Nanqiao has always been smart, and there are times when he can't figure it out.
*****
It was almost noon, and the sun was noticeably brighter than it had been in the early morning, and the golden light with dazzling spots of light pierced through the clouds and dappled the shadows of the trees on the ground, and the rainy days of the previous days had finally passed.
It's a sunny day.
There was still a period of time before the lunch break, and her colleagues were busy rehearsing, and when she passed by the rehearsal hall, Lin Lulu had not yet come on stage, she winked at Gu Nanqiao through the glass window, and talked in detail about lunch in lip language. Gu Nanqiao hid her emotions well, curled the corners of her lips slightly and nodded, and then she didn't want to delay Lin Lulu's rehearsal, so she left in a hurry.
When he went to the office to tidy up his things, Gu Nanqiao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. At that time, how did I look forward to being admitted to the Peking Opera Troupe of Province B, those scenes seemed to be right in front of me, and any details were still vivid, but with Fang Cai's answer, everything was completely drawn to the end.
- There is no turning back.
This decision was not made on the spur of the moment, let alone as a last resort.
It's just that the sorrow that should be there is still inevitable.
So much so that Gu Nanqiao originally wanted to pack up his things, and then quietly handed in his resignation and left directly. But she was only halfway packed, so she gave up this idea, since she was admitted in the scenery back then, it is not a shame to decide to leave now, she wants to leave this place where her dream began with dignity on the day of her resignation.
Leaving from the Peking Opera Troupe of Province B, Gu Nanqiao took a taxi directly to Shen You's company.
Gu Nanqiao actually had plans to resign last night, she originally wanted to discuss it with Shen You, but she ended the topic very awkwardly before she could speak, and the deeper things were gone.
At this moment, Gu Nanqiao suddenly had a lot of free time, and finally had the energy to solve personal emotional problems. With the mentality of "cut first and then play, you have to play it as soon as possible", she decided to take the blame with her boyfriend, and took the initiative to give Shen You a step, unilaterally ending this invisible cold war that had dragged on for almost a month, and saying something soft to calm his anger.
Unlike the cultural atmosphere of the eastern urban area, which is a gathering place for entrepreneurs and business elites, it can be called the CBD of the entire province B, a financial center and commercial hub, full of strong capitalist atmosphere.
Shen You's company Gu Nanqiao has been here many times, and he is familiar with the road. Seeing that it was lunch time, she casually packed a fried sauce noodles from Shen You's company downstairs that he liked to eat, did not forget to add less soybean sprouts and more sauce, and bought two cups of half-sugar milk tea as a temporary love lunch.
When he hadn't graduated before, Gu Nanqiao would often come to Shen You's company, sometimes to visit the class in his busy schedule, and sometimes to act as a coolie, accompany him to catch up with the performance plan, and handle many affairs of the company. At that time, Shen You had no fame and reputation in the industry, and he couldn't get a good business that could earn sweetness.
Gu Nanqiao hadn't officially gotten together with Shen You at that time, out of her ignorant affection for this like-minded senior brother, she acted as a coolie in the company very righteously, taking on many responsibilities such as publicity planning and copywriting, and even personally accompanied Shen You to talk about business, and really spent a hard time hand in hand. When it was the hardest, I didn't know how many buckets of instant noodles I ate with Shen You, and occasionally went downstairs to eat fried noodles, which was considered a high-standard working meal.
Later, the business of Chenhuan Company gradually improved, and Gu Nanqiao and Shen You gradually became acquainted, and then Shen You's confession was expected, and Gu Nanqiao also agreed.
As the company began to take shape, the number of internal employees gradually increased, and the work began to be more perfect and refined. Gu Nanqiao, a coolie in the early days of entrepreneurship, finally unloaded the burden on his body, and turned into Shen You's genuine girlfriend, the proprietress of Chenhuan Company, no longer having to follow Shen You to be busy, everything seems to be much better than the hardest time before.
However, it seems that the hidden emotional crisis has also been foreshadowed since then.
At the beginning, Shen You attracted Gu Nanqiao because of his momentum to dare to think and do, his unique view of the performance, his sensitive sense of business opportunities, and even Gu Nanqiao's avant-garde and bold ideas, which made Gu Nanqiao rarely find a feeling of meeting a soulmate in the mountains and rivers, and almost instinctively wanted to get closer to him.
It is precisely because soulmates can be met but not sought that some people are difficult to meet in their lives, especially fellow artists, each of whom has a higher heart than the sky, and no one looks down on anyone's business, and it is even more rare to find a sense of identity.
In such a situation, just relying on that little similarity is enough to cover up the remaining many shortcomings, not to mention the addition of the first love filter, which is enough to form an infinite beautification and blind the eyes of couples in love. At that time, Gu Nanqiao didn't have time to think deeply at all, and when she saw through the hidden contradictions between the two people, she was already reluctant to get out.
Gu Nanqiao knew that Shen You's ambition was too big and too utilitarian, and his feelings were just an insignificant part of him, not the focus of his life. Even the sweet words and just the right amount of care given by Shen You are just the product of outstanding emotional intelligence, there is a bit of truth behind this, and there is a bit of acting on the spot, maybe even Shen You himself can't say it.
At first, Shen You's appreciation of Gu Nanqiao certainly had an element of heartbeat, but later it was difficult to escape the politeness and perfunctory nature of the left and right.
Especially when the initial hit it off and gradually became related to things in the business field, the feelings behind it were not simple enough. At that time, when Gu Nanqiao took care of the spring garden and school schoolwork, and was lacking in skills several times, Shen You took the initiative to help the spring garden run a business, and worked hard to find ways to publicize and market, and also made some achievements.
Back then, Shen You really felt sorry for his girlfriend in his heart, and he couldn't bear to see her working too hard. But after digging deeper, it is difficult to say whether he has the intention of learning from and learning from experience, and wants to practice with the ready-made troupe of Spring Manyuan, as a stepping stone to make a name for himself in the industry in the future.
Gu Nanqiao is reluctant to criticize these things, after all, interpersonal relationships are the most untested things in this world - no matter how strong the relationship is, it is inevitable that a sharp knife will be hidden when the layers of surface peace are removed.
However, Shen You is obviously much more objective.
After leaving the ivory tower of the campus and entering the society, this relationship will inevitably encounter various variables and choices, and the disagreements between the three views hidden in the relationship between Gu Nanqiao and Shen You, as well as their completely different pursuits, will also be exposed.
Shen You once regarded Gu Nanqiao as his beloved little girlfriend, who could be held and cared for unconditionally, and it didn't matter if he said some beautiful love words to make her happy, and accompanied her to consume excess enthusiasm to chase the so-called "dream" to pass the love time day after day. But when he regarded Gu Nanqiao as someone who wanted to spend the next few decades together, it meant that he had to pay for her choice, and even the mess of the spring garden that Gu Nanqiao was burdened with became a burden shared by the two of them.
For Shen You, a delicate egoist, once feelings become his concerns and become a stumbling block on his continuous upward climbing, no one may be sure how long such a shaky personal relationship can last.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see through that there is no future in this relationship.
But because of the old feelings, Shen You and Gu Nanqiao, two people who have always been simple and rational, are unwilling to break the status quo this time, even after countless cold wars and silences, they are still willing to cover it up, and scribble it with a short-term compromise with endless delay.
Such a thirst-quenching relationship pulled the two of them alive and dragged down the whole way.
.......
Maybe it was the emotional fluctuations caused by the sudden resignation that affected Gu Nanqiao's thinking, or maybe it was the recent period of time, Shen You's many abnormal signs stimulated her sixth sense, vaguely evoking the seeds of uneasiness buried in her heart, at this moment Gu Nanqiao's usual calmness was shaken, and those emotions that would not have been touched in the past overlapped repeatedly in her mind for no reason, making her whole person suddenly become emotional.
It wasn't until knocking on the door of Shen You's office that Gu Nanqiao finally came back to his senses.
"Come in ......."
Shen You's voice came through the door, and when Gu Nanqiao entered, he was still buried in sorting out the documents on the desk, and it was not until he smelled the aroma of food that he finally raised his head: "Qiaoqiao, why did you come over, didn't you go to the unit today?"
Gu Nanqiao casually put the packing box on the table, and said lightly: "It's not that you have worked too hard recently, and you worked overtime yesterday to catch up with the performance report, I feel sorry for you." ”
"My wife is so kind to me. Shen You replied casually, and at the same time, he lowered his eyes slightly, quickly sorting out his emotions, "If you miss me, just say let me go to you." ”
"You've been so busy lately, how can you bear to let you toss back and forth again. Gu Nanqiao sat opposite Shen You, opened the packing box, and skillfully poured all kinds of side dishes and fried sauces into the noodles, "It just so happens that I have time today, so I just came to visit the class." ”
At this moment, Shen You and Gu Nanqiao behaved very tacitly.
They all avoided talking about the previous argument as if nothing had happened, and just announced the flip of the page with an understatement.
I want to talk with more like-minded people about "Xu You Spring Garden", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chats about life, and looks for confidants~
