066. Falling from heaven to hell
So I said again: "Seriously, I should thank you for helping me so much and never treating me badly...... From now on, we will still be as amiable as before, and you should not force yourself to move in with me, let's live together like friends, okay?"
I looked up at him and tried to make a genuine expression as much as I could.
But it looks like my acting skills may be quite bad, because Lu Xudong frowned obviously.
I had to bite my lip and emphasized, "I mean really!"
Lu Xudong looked at me incomprehensibly for a while, as if he was considering how much credibility my words had, and after a long time, the corners of his mouth finally picked up a good-looking arc, and gently spit out a word: "Good!"
I was stunned, seeing that he had already picked up the bag and turned around, as if he was going to go to the room, I quickly rushed up and grabbed the bag in his hand, and said very doggedly, "I'll help you clean up!"
Then, without waiting for him to react, I ran into the second bedroom first.
I just cleaned the room in the morning, and the sheets and duvet covers were all freshly changed. I placed his bag on the table and opened the zipper to find that it was a set of clothes, and it was obviously worn.
So Lu Xudong planned to take his bag to the balcony and throw the dirty clothes in the washing machine......
I awkwardly glanced back at Lu Xudong who was standing at the door, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and four big words "nothing to do with me" written on his face.
I groaned in my heart, who is to blame? Blame myself for being too attentive!
At lunch, Lu Xudong confessed that he originally planned to hide out and live for a few days, because he really didn't know how to face me, so he even asked Lu Xi to clean up his things.
Then I called him that morning, and he also happened to be in City X for business.
I pursed my lips, a little wistful, but still moderately expressed the hypocritical "It's okay".
Lu Xudong breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't seem to be too happy.
After eating, Lu Xudong went out for a trip, and when he came back, he carried the suitcase that Lu Xi carried away that night.
I didn't hesitate to push his suitcase to the second bedroom while he was changing his shoes, and then began to organize the contents outside.
Lu Xudong stood at the door for a while, and his two burning gazes almost didn't make a hole in my back.
Later, he probably didn't think I was making a show, and then he walked in slowly and took a hand.
I'm happy in my heart, little sample, don't doubt my sincerity now!
Anyway, it's better to draw a 38th line on the bed and sleep directly in separate rooms, Sun Tzu's Art of War knows that it is said that the desire is indulgent, I am stupid, but I also know what it means to lower the enemy's vigilance!
Silently tidying up my things, I smiled and clapped my hands, and said to him, "Okay, then I'll continue watching TV." ”
Lu Xudong also smiled, but his eyes were clearly inquisitive when he looked at me.
I was actually quite nervous in my heart, for fear that the little Jiujiu in my heart would be seen through by him, so I had to pretend to be very shy by him and turn around and leave.
When I walked to the door of the room, Lu Xudong suddenly stopped me again.
I chuckled and looked back at him a little nervously, "What's wrong?"
The expression in Lu Xudong's eyes was quite complicated, there was guilt, gratitude, and unexpectedness, he looked at me for a long time, and then said to me very sincerely: "I'm sorry!"
I quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and a phrase that I had seen on TV before popped into my mind, saying sorry for the useful words, why do you want the police.
But I didn't say it, I smiled very gently, and said hypocritically, "Isn't it all right? ”
Lu Xudong looked at me with a deep look in his eyes, and then he curled his lips and smiled silently.
I felt like something wasn't quite right.
In this way, Lu Xudong's "husband and wife" career with me opened a new chapter.
He still picks me up and drops me off and commutes every day in a low-key manner, and there have been times when he takes me to the gate of the community after work, and then he goes to dinner or something. On the surface, I understood his need for time to go on a date, but I hated it inwardly.
Lu Xudong's understanding of what I meant was usually faintly replied, and every time at that time, I felt that the smile on his lips seemed particularly meaningful.
After two weeks of such respect, he accompanied me back to my parents' house once, and also received a phone call from my mother-in-law blaming us for not going back for a long time.
Lu Xudong explained the reason for not going home like this: "Wait until the old man has figured it out!"
It's really better than his father.
But to my relief, we seem to be a little closer to each other than we used to be, at least not as inhibited as we used to be, and of course, that's how I feel one-sidedly.
Perhaps most of the reason is that I seem to know Lu Xudong a little better now, unlike in the past, it always seems to be far away.
It's just that it's not familiar enough for me to ask him about that "private matter", I scratch my heart and lungs every night before going to bed, and I regret that I didn't see Lu Xudong's good looks clearly that night, and comfort myself for a while, the coming days are long, I'm doing it step by step, don't worry.
But I'm not in a hurry, someone is in a hurry.
On this day, I took Lu Xudong's car to the company as usual, and then when I climbed the stairs, I met our boss at the corner of the fifth floor.
I was in a good mood, so I was happy to say hello to him.
The boss didn't have any emotion "um", and a little sad stopped in place and looked at me, those squinting eyes were really full of a thousand words, but he just looked at me and stopped.
The boss didn't leave, of course I was stunned, waiting for him to speak, but I waited for a long time, and he sighed and went downstairs without saying anything.
I was baffled by him like that, I went to the office after typing the card and turned on the computer, and immediately turned out the financial statements that were only made last week and carefully checked them, only to make sure that the abnormal appearance of the boss just now was not because the company was losing money again.
I thought about it, and he estimated that he had been stunned by the payment collection of the suppliers in the past few days.
In the afternoon, Lu Xudong suddenly called me and asked if I was okay.
I was asked inexplicably by him, and I wanted to ask him what was wrong, but Xiaolin, who was there, beckoned to me: "Cersei, Mr. Liu called you to his office!"
Mr. Liu is my boss who sighed at me inexplicably that morning.
I suddenly had a bad premonition in my heart, and I didn't have time to ask Lu Xudong what kind of nerves he had, so I hung up the phone and ran to the boss's office after a brief talk to him.
Before I went in, I was still wondering if I hadn't done anything in any of my accounts.
As a result, the boss just called me to sit down and make tea, first praised me for my serious and responsible work, and he saw the progress in the past few years, and then when I was excited in my heart to think that he had discovered his conscience and was ready to give me a salary increase, suddenly the tone of words changed, and it became: "Xiaodi, you have been in the company for so many years, and you should also know that the company's efficiency is getting worse and worse, and I can't eat or sleep well every day......
The boss sighed and looked at me with a twinkle in his eyes, and I couldn't help but look at him with big eyes.
In the end, the boss coughed a few times and opened his mouth again: "Actually, I recognize your work ability, after all, your achievements in the past few years are obvious to all, but the company's current situation, it is indeed necessary to lay off some personnel to reduce labor costs......"
I fell from heaven to hell all of a sudden, and it turned out that it wasn't a raise, it was about to fire me.
I basically didn't listen to what the boss said later, anyway, it was nothing more than all kinds of reassuring words.
I'm really depressed, I don't find that the company has reached the point where it needs to lay off employees, although the benefits of the past two years are indeed poor, and the recovery of many receivables is also lagging behind, but the overall is still profitable, and even the number of times the capital turnover can not be opened is only a handful.
But since it's the boss himself, what can I do? The factory belonged to his Liu family, and I was able to come in to work because my uncle gave me the back door, and the boss also offered to pay me an extra month's salary as compensation, and I seemed to have no choice but to accept it.
My boss only asked me to write a handover statement, and then quickly asked the personnel to calculate my attendance for the month, and soon he transferred my due salary to my card.
I just suddenly became a vagrant.
When I walked out of the company with some of my personal belongings, I was very sad.
Just waiting for the personnel accounting attendance, the documentary Xiao Liu secretly told me that someone called the company to find the boss yesterday afternoon, when I went to the bathroom, she happened to be in Xiaolin's position, as if I heard the other party also asked a special question Di Se is working in your company.
Xiao Liu's expression at that time was very determined: "This thing must be boring, otherwise you do a good job, and the boss can't cut you if he really wants to lay off employees!"
I sighed again, what if it's really boring, society is so realistic, I'm just an inconspicuous little person, I can only accept the facts.
But who would deliberately embarrass me?
I turned around and walked towards the bus stop, but it was not time to get off work, so I had to take a ride home by myself. After walking a few steps, there was a faint reluctance in my heart, after all, I had been here for seven years, and it happened suddenly, so I was really not mentally prepared at all.
I was very depressed, and only after getting on the bus did I call Lu Xudong to tell him that he would not be able to pick me up for a while.
He didn't ask anything, he simply said, "Got it!"
That faint tone made me even more depressed, so you can't care about me and ask why?
I hung up the phone aggrievedly, sat in a daze for a while, and became melancholy, feeling that tomorrow is really slim and the future is so sad.
After getting off the bus, I walked home with my things in my arms. When I entered the elevator, I was still a little dazed, although I also thought about changing jobs, but I was so caught off guard that I inevitably panicked.
Learning has just begun, and although the relationship with Lu Xudong is not a mess, it is not much better.
