Chapter 77: Is it a repeat of the past?
I looked at Chu Qingchuan, he turned his head to meet my eyes, and without waiting for Han Lu to answer, he smiled and said, "Yes, I am the one who climbs you." β
"Needless to say? "I've got to sell cheaply.
At that time, the two of us were just looking at each other, and neither of them noticed Han Lu's expression.
"You're really numb. Qingchuan, my medicine is almost finished, can you please call the nurse?" Han Lu said with a smile.
Chu Qingchuan answered, and walked out of the ward.
I felt a little embarrassed when there were only me and Han Lu, so I didn't have anything to say, but Han Lu brought the topic back.
"Blazing Sun, do you know Qingchuan?" her moist eyes looked at me, shining with a weak but not very bright light.
I pursed my lips and smiled, and said, "I don't think you know." β
Han Lu smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's okay, take your time." Every time Harukawa mentions you, he becomes like a child, as if a child has received a beloved toy. He hadn't been like this when he was with his fiancΓ©e before, which shows that he really likes you. β
My heart warmed and I said, "Really?"
"Well, he has always been polite to Li Yutong, considerate but measured, but he is very different from you. When Han Lu said this, her eyes were a little dull.
But I don't want to continue this kind of conversation, I always feel awkward.
I guess I don't like to share feelings with people I don't know, I thought to myself.
"When are you going to be discharged?" I said.
"Probably tomorrow, at most the day after tomorrow, and it's not a serious illness. Jiaoyang, you are so young and beautiful, before Qingchuan appeared, there should be a lot of boys chasing you, right?" Han Lu seemed to be interested in me.
I smiled helplessly and told the truth, "I...... Just got divorced. β
Her expression froze, and then she apologized to me, saying that she was embarrassed, and that Harukawa hadn't mentioned it before.
"It's okay, it's not a shame. I really didn't take it to heart, and I wouldn't have considered the implication of her words.
In hindsight, if I wasn't open-minded enough, it would be easy to misunderstand that Chu Qingchuan disliked my divorce because of this sentence, but it can also be understood that he was defending my privacy in front of others.
A lot of times, the same thing, because of different positions, will have a completely different chemical reaction, but most of the time, people always like to think on the bad side.
Fortunately, Chu Qingchuan came back at this time, otherwise this awkward conversation would have to continue.
I looked at my watch and said that the time was not early, I had to work overtime tonight, and I would make an appointment when Han Lu was discharged from the hospital, and it was the weekend in two days, and I had time.
Han Lu said softly, I saw Chu Qingchuan pick up the car keys on the table and wanted to go with me.
"Qingchuan, you can send the sun for me. Xiaoxiao is going to have two video calls with us tonight, saying that there is good news to share with us. Han Lu looked at Chu Qingchuan with a smile.
Chu Qingchuan paused for a second and looked at me with apologetic eyes.
I joked and said, "Send me off quickly, I know you can't bear me." β
He smiled heartily. After I said goodbye to Han Lu, I took his arm and walked out.
Behind him, the head nurse whispered to Han Lu, "Isn't Mr. Chu your husband?"
Before we could hear an answer, we had already turned out the door and into the hallway.
I was immersed in that question, and I didn't even hear Chu Qingchuan talking to me, and I was stunned.
"The sun?" he called, pulling me back to reality.
"Huh?" I said blankly.
"What's wrong?" he pinched my cheek.
"It's okay, it's just that I'm a little tired from work, and I feel like the sky is not fulfilling my wishes. When it's here, you go back. I smiled and pecked him on the face, but he held it in his arms and wouldn't let go.
I let him hold it, and the fatigue and sadness of the past few days were all released, and I finally had a place to rely on.
"I can afford to raise you. His voice came from above me.
"I know. My tone was a little nasal.
I think he also knows that this sentence is impossible, and he understands me. He doesn't make his relationship public, he doesn't interfere in my work, he only inadvertently dials when necessary, and I know that he is exercising me.
And I naturally don't take this sentence seriously. But I have to say, I was really moved.
"Take a day off on the weekend, let's have a meal with Han Lu, and I'll arrange for her to go back, okay?" Chu Qingchuan let go of me, put his hands on my shoulders, looked into my eyes and said.
His eyes were so focused, as if he was looking at me if there was something in my eyes, was he afraid that I would cry, or was he afraid that I would hide my emotions?
"You don't think I'm jealous again, do you?" I asked him with a curled eye and a smile.
After Chu Qingchuan confirmed that I was fine, he said, "Jiaoyang, you have seen her situation. I don't dare to joke with my life, can you understand me?"
I smiled and replied, "Have you forgotten who said they were going to send me away?"
Chu Qingchuan laughed loudly: "I said, you are different. That night, in fact, I wanted to teach you a lesson, double bungee jumping with you. I have a coaching certificate and can take you to jump. β
It suddenly became clear to me that there were some things that we would never think of if the other party didn't say them.
"It's impossible to bungee jump in this life! "I'm telling you the truth, even if he jumped with me in his arms, I wouldn't have tried!
Chu Qingchuan looked at me with a smile and didn't answer.
At this time, a taxi stopped next to me, and I thought to myself, this driver is really discerning, how can I know that I want to take a taxi?
"Are you leaving, master?" asked the driver.
"Don't go. β
"Don't go!"
Chu Qingchuan and I replied to him in unison, and we laughed together.
"Hey, come on, you two go ahead. The driver slowly drove towards the people waiting on the side of the road in front.
"Reluctant to me?" Chu Qingchuan asked.
"Hmm. What should I do? I'm so sticky. "I wrapped my arms around his waist and lay on his chest, my heart beating strongly.
Probably because of the sour thought of him staying by other women's side, I don't like to hide my attachment to him lately.
Chu Qingchuan patted me on the back: "Good, Han Lu is my family." β
"I know, family. I repeat the word.
That's why I'm even more cautious in what I say and do, both in front of him and in front of her.
I can only be coquettish, and I can't go too far, lest he think I'm ignorant and cranky.
So, who am I? My family should be more important than my lover.
He kissed me, and I reluctantly left.
On the way back, I kept reflecting and telling myself not to make the same mistake again.
After experiencing a failed and absurd marriage, I firmly believe that in love, the first serious must be the losing party.
At the beginning, I loved Chu Jingnan, humble and persistent, but what did I get?
Now that I meet Chu Qingchuan again, in just a few months, I have fallen deeper and deeper, is it considered a repeat of the past?
Or maybe it's really as Chu Qingchuan said, I lack love too much. Once someone treats me well, even if I dig out my heart and lungs, I feel that I can't repay it?
However, Chu Qingchuan and Chu Jingnan are different, right?
With just one question, I dismissed all previous doubts and concerns. Facts have also proved that they are indeed different, very different.
Because of Sinan's words when he got off work, I revised the draft until dawn.
Song Fangfei and Xia Xue's manuscripts, on the basis of their editing, were scrambled and rewritten by me.
It's like cooking, they've got the ingredients ready, and my editing is like going back to the pot, but the taste is completely different.
I'm still quite satisfied with the finished product, maybe because I wrote it myself.
I've been sleeping too little lately, and I'm almost in a state of euphoria, like I'm constantly beating chicken blood.
Yang Buregret warned me that if this is maintained for a long time, there will definitely be problems with my body to express my dissatisfaction. I'm too busy to have time to with her.
The red roses that I ordered for Sinan were delivered at the same time when I arrived at the company, and I was quite curious in my heart, whether the editor-in-chief of Si Da was attacking or receiving?
As a result, I saw Sinan holding a large handful of delicate red roses and went directly to Anna's office.
I opened my mouth wide in astonishment, and the old editor, Dali, happened to come over to give me materials, and he laughed and said that I was rare and weird.
"Huh?" I asked, shamelessly.
"Don't think too much about it at a young age, every year today, Mr. Si will send roses to Anna, but the two of them are not lovers. Dali said.
"I can see that. "Of course, I don't believe that these two are-for-tat at every topic selection meeting, and I can't wait to have a gun in my waist and immediately take it out and collapse the other party's enemies, which can chemically react the sour and rotten gas of love.
After this little episode, I sat down again and read through the revised interview with Li Yutong and sent it to Manager Liang again.
After that, Qiao Rui contacted me and said that he would take me to meet a folk artist Ah Shui in the evening, she had just won an award at the T Art Festival, and her work was unpopular but thought-provoking.
Through the conversation with Qiao Rui, I was very interested in Ah Shui's life experience.
I learned that Ah Shui was abused by X when he was a child, and his mother was a homosexual. She graduated from primary school, worked as a printing and dyeing worker, and is a single mother with two children.
And her award-winning documentary is a life documented through her own lens under the sponsorship of a pioneering director.
There is no lack of sin and distorted humanity in this world, and artists are not afraid to restore the false, evil and ugly in the most real state, because we who live in the sun cannot see the corners covered by shadows.
Qiao Rui opened the door to a new world for me, and raised my once superficial understanding of contemporary art one step further.
Since then, I have a deeper understanding of the saying that existence is reasonable, and I have become more tolerant and no longer reject any art form.
In every field, there are always people who do things with their hearts and minds, who can change the way we think about the entire industry.
After Sinan came back, he read the topic selection article I prepared, and his face was not good: "Cheng Jiaoyang, do you know what teamwork is?"
I immediately understood that he could see that I had written the manuscripts myself, because the style was too uniform.
There's no way, Wen is like his person, it's the ancestral training in the circle.
This is really bad, readers will think that there is no one in your AC editorial department, and the first issue of the feature is actually from the hand of one person? It's ironic.
"Mr. Si, because you are in a hurry, I ......"
Sinan didn't want to hear me explain at all: "If you like to write manuscripts, I can let you write ten articles a day." You remember, I don't need writers, but people with ideas. β
I tried to figure out what he was saying, and he seemed to see it.
"Cheng Jiaoyang, what do you think I'm doing every day?" he asked suddenly.
I was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and answered truthfully: "Meetings, receptions, business trips, meals, socializing...... huh?
However, I helped him sort out the speech of the forum half a month later, and I was ashamed of the wonderful content.
I knew that he didn't waste his writing skills at all, and that his ideas were like fireworks, brilliant and dense, so how did he do that?
"I don't want to talk nonsense with you about the concept of editors and authors. The soul of a magazine, a website, or a media does not lie in how well an article is written or how well a topic is done, but in whether its overall tone and direction are clear and properly expressed.
That's what I'm doing as editor-in-chief. And you, as the editor in charge of a topic, are the same, you have to be the helmsman, not the sailor. Got it?"
Sinan didn't say much, but the metaphor was very clear, which was his usual style.
I was flattered that he was willing to give me that advice.
"Mr. Si, in fact, I am not particularly confident in my writing ability, and I am afraid that I will ......not be able to achieve this kind of higher-level pursuit you mentioned."
Sinan asked me sternly: "Do you think everyone has this kind of opportunity? If I don't want it, I can give it to others at any time." β
"If you want it, it's not that you don't want to, it's that you don't dare to be. I hurriedly explained.
"Are you questioning my vision?" Si Nan looked at me intently.
Although I don't know how I can be valued by him, but when it comes to this, I am really bored with my self-esteem.
"Mr. Si, rest assured, I will definitely improve myself as soon as possible and live up to your expectations. "It's like I'm giving a military order.
"Surround yourself with great people, even if you chat, you will be inspired. Let's get out. "Sinan was busy with his own business and didn't pay attention to me anymore.
I answered and walked out of his office.
Since Chu Qingchuan and Sinan have affirmed me one after another, if you don't go crazy, you can't survive, let's fight, otherwise I'm sorry for others, and I'm sorry for myself.
After two busy days, I received a reply from Manager Liang before the weekend, and he called me and said that the manuscript could be published, but as soon as possible.
I applied with Sinan, and in order to help Manager Ma sign a contract with the Rubik's Cube as soon as possible, I transferred the interview with Li Yutong, which was supposed to be published in the next issue, to this issue, and finally replaced it before the magazine was printed at the factory.
Sinan handed over the article that originally belonged to Song Fangfei and Xia Xue to two more experienced editors to rewrite it, and he would get the finished manuscript next week.
In other words, the topic I am responsible for is finally about to take shape!
Everything seems to be going in a good direction, but the facts often tell us not to rejoice too soon.
