Chapter 231: Distinction between public and private
Chapter 231 The distinction between public and private is clear
……
The courtyard door was not locked, and after pushing it open, he came to the door along the winding garden road and rang the doorbell.
"Who?"
It didn't take long, and the voice was deep and hoarse in the familiarity, and full of eagerness and antiquation.
"Me, Bruce!"
"Click...!"
With a sigh of disappointment, and a slight sound of the door opening, the closed entrance door opened.
Pushed it in, and just after taking two steps, there was a 'grunt', as if it had kicked something. Because the light in the hallway was not turned on, Guo Shouyun could only use the faint light from the living room to see clearly that he had just kicked two black shoes. Then I found that the whole hallway was messy, and the shoes that had been neatly placed were thrown everywhere.
Frowning, he walked through the hallway into the living room, and a rancid smell came to his nose, almost making him turn around.
After being forced to endure it, he finally saw his classmate and friend holding a photo frame on the sofa in the living room where clothes, food bags, and various household garbage were stacked.
The image of the woman in the photo, Guo Shouyun doesn't need to look at it to know who it is.
Shaking his head and putting the wine and food in a clean place, Guo Shouyun opened the window of the living room, let the fresh air outside dispel the rancid smell in the living room, and took the trash can to simply clean up the dining table.
During the whole process, Martin Alexander didn't seem to see his presence, and he didn't even change his movements.
After cleaning up everything, he walked to the sofa, and looked at his friend who was lying on the backrest, his face was pale, his eyes were red and swollen, and his mind was numb, Guo Shouyun didn't have to guess and knew that this guy had probably not had a good rest for several days.
"Bruce, why did you say she left me?"
The hoarse voice made Guo Shouyun feel a little sorry for him, and at the same time, he was also a little angry.
However, in order to take care of his old friend's emotions, he didn't say anything excessive.
"You really like her so much, even if she takes advantage of you!"
"Su Li is not that kind of person, I am sure she must have her own troubles!" Martin Alexander shook his head. His current state is obviously completely trapped in this relationship.
At such times, mere preaching does not do much at all. Fortunately, Guo Shouyun also expected this situation to some extent, and asked some psychologists and love experts in advance for some ways to reverse this emotion.
"I also believe that Su Li is indeed not such a person!"
"Really?"
Looking at Martin Alexander, who raised his head in an instant, with surprise in his expression, and looked at himself, Guo Shouyun nodded against his will.
"In fact, Su Li sent me a letter after she left. ”
"Where's the letter, give it to me!"
Martin Alexander flipped up from the sofa, grabbed Guo Shouyun's shoulders with his arms, and said with an excited expression.
"Sorry, I can't give it to you yet!"
"Why? Why can't you give it to me?"
"Su Li said that the reason why she left you was because you always favored the latter in her family and your family, which made her feel very insecure. She hopes to be away for a while, to make you mature, and to solve this problem before showing you this letter!"
Because Martin always complained to him about the reasons for his grievances, Guo Shouyun still knew a little about the contradictions between them.
"I knew it was because of that. We used to argue about this, but I didn't take it to heart. Martin said with a bitter and pained expression.
"Don't regret it, it won't help. Guo Shouyun said.
"Bruce, what do you say I'm going to do, tell me, I know you always have a way, don't you?"
Looking at the excited and expectant expression on his face, Guo Shouyun nodded.
"Of course I have a way, but now we have to have dinner before I can tell you. ”
"Dinner?"
"Yes!"
"Can't you tell me first?"
"Can't!"
"Okay!"
He brought Martin to the table, unscrewed the two bottles, and gave him one bottle.
"This is Huaxia wine?"
"There is a saying in Huaxia that 'borrow wine to eliminate sorrows', and drinking this bottle of wine can make your heart calmer. ”
Glancing at the liquor in Guo Shouyun's hand, Martin nodded and took it.
As for chopsticks, after two years with Guo Shouyun, he would have used them a long time ago.
"Here, touch it. Remember, don't drink too much at once!"
Martin nodded, and after touching the wine bottle with Guo Shouyun, the two of them didn't use glasses, and drank directly to their mouths. Guo Shouyun had drunk many times in his previous life, so he was naturally no problem if he was prepared. But Martin is different, this guy because of Guo Shouyun's words of 'borrowing wine to eliminate sorrows', directly 'goo' and drank a big sip, the fifty-two-degree liquor went straight into the stomach, and the hot wine made him feel as if his whole person was burning.
"Ahem...!"
Looking at Martin, who was coughing violently, Guo Shouyun hurriedly picked up some vegetables for him, "Just eat something and press it." ”
However, Martin did not go to pick up the vegetables, but quickly threw down the chopsticks, ran to the water dispenser, and drank a few sips in a row before feeling much better.
"Bruce, are you sure it's alcohol or something else?" said Martin, who was in tears and coughing, incredulous.
"Of course, didn't you see that I drank it myself just now!" Guo Shouyun pointed to his wine bottle.
"It's hard to believe that Chinese drink this kind of thing, it's stronger than the vodka I drank earlier!" Martin shook his head.
"You're drinking too much at once!It's better to have less like me!" said Guo Shouyun and demonstrated.
"Forget it, I really can't drink this!"
"No, you have to drink it. Otherwise, don't try to get Su Li's letter from me!" Guo Shouyun insisted.
For people who don't talk much and are introverted, alcohol can open their hearts. He needed to have a good chat with Martin, so he couldn't afford not to drink.
Seeing Guo Shouyun's insistence, Martin had no choice but to pick up the bottle again. But with the experience of the last time, he was obviously much better when he drank it again.
"How's it going, isn't it better?"
"Hmm!"
After nodding, Martin hurriedly took a few bites of food.
"Hehe, slowly you get used to it. Come, let's move on. After drinking and eating, I will tell you the message left by Su Li!"
Encouraged by this sentence, Martin's motivation became sufficient, and when a 300ml bottle of 52 degrees was drunk, he let go.
"I'm so dizzy... But can you tell me now?"
In fact, in the process of eating and chatting just now, Guo Shouyun had already learned about Martin's psychological state.
"Su Li asked me to tell you that in the next year, she wants you to complete a global trip. It's not the kind of sightseeing that stays in a luxury hotel and goes in and out of the plane, but the kind that drives an RV. And you have to stay for at least three days at every place you go and write a travel note after you leave!"
"Global Travel?travel notes?" Martin was stunned.
"Not bad. Travel is a great way to broaden your horizons. Perhaps Su Li hopes that you can find the true meaning of life and become mature after you have more knowledge. Having said that, this is Guo Shouyun's own attention. Traveling can indeed alleviate one's pain and release the bitterness of a broken love.
That's what he did after graduating from college and falling out of love. However, he did not travel around the world, but only joined a group of travel friends and followed him to Lhasa.
"Okay. Since it was Su Li's request, then I will definitely finish it! Moreover, I will leave tomorrow. Martin said confidently.
"Su Li will be very happy to see your current state and determination!" Guo Shouyun said.
Martin nodded, and after seeing the hope of love at this time, his originally depressed mood eased a lot, and his sanity returned.
"Bruce, the company's business is what I'm asking Arnell for. Now that he has lost his job, I am very upset. Do you want to see if you can get him back?"
Looking at his friend's pleading eyes, Guo Shouyun shook his head.
"No way, Martin. If the wrongdoers are not punished, then no one in the company will take the rules and regulations to heart in the future, and such a company will simply not be able to survive in the highly competitive market. ”
In his official affairs, he could never compromise because of anyone's prayers.
"But, after all, it was my mistake!"
"Frank didn't stand up to his principles, and as the chief human resources officer, he connived at your mistakes, and it was his fault. After a pause, Guo Shouyun glanced at him, "You don't have to worry about this matter anymore." Frank has a Ph.D. in economics and law from Duke University, and even if he loses his LinkedIn job, there will be other high-paying jobs waiting for him!"
Hearing this, Martin Alexander nodded in agreement and didn't say anything more.
"Well, it's late. It's time for me to go back, too. You rest early and plan tomorrow how your global trip will begin!"
"I'll send you!" Martin nodded.
Guo Shouyun didn't refuse, and the two walked out together.
At the moment when he was about to step out of Martin's door, an excited voice came from behind him, "Bruce, thank you!"
"No, we're best friends. Although at work I will not condone your mistakes. But in life, I will try my best to help you!" Guo Shouyun turned around and smiled.
Martin nodded gratefully, "Being friends with you is the luckiest thing in my life!"
"Me too! Goodbye, get some rest!"
"Goodbye!"
"Boss!"
After nodding to Hans, Guo Shouyun sighed through the window and looked at his classmates who were still standing in front of the door and watching here. Tonight's time was not wasted, and Martin's matter was finally settled.
"Let's go, go back to the Hanshan Courtyard!"
Hans nodded and started the car, quickly disappearing into the warm San Francisco night.
