Chapter 42: If You're in Love with Me, Remember to Tell Me
There was no mercy on the mouth, but I took out the medical wipes and pressed them into his palm.
There is alcohol on it, and it must hurt if it touches the wound.
Actually, I also had a sense of revenge, but he didn't even pause, and let me stop the bleeding.
"Thick skin, doesn't it hurt?" I teased him.
"You care so much that I'm with her?" his voice came from above me.
At this time, he was standing in front of me, and I sat on the edge of the bed and sprinkled Yunnan Baiyao for him, and we couldn't see each other's expressions.
I'm sneering in my heart, I'm not caring, so what? Who am I to care?
If you really care if I don't care, how can you ask me such a question?
After many years, I realized that this is the difference between the way of thinking of men and women, men think in a straight line, while women think in twists and turns.
"What's my business. I replied with a pretended lightheartedness.
He was silent.
I hate silence, and everyone looks like it's hard to say.
"Since you can't explain, don't ask. If you can't make a promise, don't flirt. "I finished the medicine and pushed his palm away.
But he stepped forward and put his arms around my back.
"I don't have any affection for her. He said this with a lot of determination.
I felt that his heartbeat was steady and powerful, not like a liar, who would have a weak heart.
I remember that when Chu Jingnan proposed to me, I threw myself into his arms, put my hand on his left chest and asked him if he could forget Li Yutong.
He said he could, but the accelerated heartbeat was honest. But I deliberately ignored it.
Memories always come out from time to time to disturb and are annoying.
"Yes, the kiss is so realistic without emotion. It's a pity that Mr. Chu didn't enter the entertainment industry. I said indifferently.
He didn't say anything, but he hugged me hard.
"Are you annoyed? Isn't it just a business marriage? Aren't soap operas all written like this, what's there to say?"
I like men who are downright, like my grandfather, who never hides anything.
"It's not. "He still won't let go.
"Oh, that's not about profit, it's just because of love? You let me go, I don't want to be late. "I admit that I am a person, when I speak mercilessly, not only my mouth is poisonous, but also I block people.
So much so that a long, long time later, when we met again, he told me that every time he heard me release poison and saw that red lips were as sharp as a blade, he wanted to explode her.
He listened to me anyway and let go of his hand.
But his hot and powerful arms, I really love him to death. I shouted in my heart, get out, leave your arms behind!
Oh, how much love I have.
He half-crouched down in front of me, looked up at my face a little and said, "If you're in love with me, remember to tell me." ”
"Dream!" I blurted out, not even giving myself time to think.
He smiled noncommittally, and as he got up to leave, he said to me, "You were very beautiful and brave in the interview yesterday. ”
I replied with a nonchalant thank-you, and he walked away without looking back.
Looking at his upright back, I actually had the illusion that his back alone made people feel that he was as reliable as a mountain.
But what about the facts? I don't dare rely on a man like him.
The fatal attraction is superficial, but the danger is also obvious.
I dare not expect any more pure love or even friendship, the adult world, all the proximity and joy, with ulterior secrets.
Even if it was Lin Yuan, didn't he have ulterior motives at the beginning?
He helped me, but I was also lucky enough to meet the good side of human nature.
Can I be lucky every time? No.
Tidying up myself, I practiced smiling in front of the mirror, but the face that looked pious when Chu Qingchuan looked up at me just now always appeared.
Shake your head and chase him away.
Stepping into AC headquarters again, I'm already a full member here!
There was a girl at the front desk on duty, still beautiful and tall.
While waiting for the elevator, I smiled at each of my colleagues and received the same gift in return.
After I joined the HR department, I learned that my position was assistant editor, which was at the bottom of the editorial department.
The main job content is to help the executive editors to get started, prepare materials, and there is no requirement for article writing.
However, you have to submit a topic every week and turn in your "homework". If you fail to pass the homework or your work performance is not good, you will be passed at any time, and the probation period will be one month.
I can't help but feel that the efficiency here is super high, everyone is like a chicken blood, like a spinning top, and even the trial period is one-third of the normal.
The kind HR lady brought me to the editorial office of 19F and introduced me to everyone.
Everyone here has a nice English name.
When the young lady asked me, I was stunned and thought that I really hadn't had an official English name.
In the English class when I went to school, the teacher saw me and said "your name is sunny", which matches your Chinese name very well.
It was a rebellious time, and I was very unhappy with this arrangement without my consent.
Later, when a foreigner asked me for my name, I answered my name directly.
I think the Chinese pronunciation is very good, and it just helps them practice their spoken English.
But after all, it is necessary to follow the local customs, and it is not good to break the rules, which is actually equivalent to a code name, which is convenient for dealing with foreign colleagues.
"Athena" I couldn't think of anything else, so I said this.
This name was specially assigned to myself when I heard Chu Qingchuan's English name Arthur.
Aren't you King Arthur?
"Hahahaha! Seiya is here. Sure enough, my name sparked a burst of laughter.
Those who have a sense of age probably remember the old Japanese comics.
That's right, "Saint Seiya".
As a result, although I didn't remember my colleagues, almost everyone was impressed with me.
When I came to my desk, there was an eye-catching bouquet of lily of the valley inserted in a transparent flower ** on the empty desk.
The white flowers are small and pure, dotted with tender green petals, like fairies in the wind.
It's my favorite flower, but no boy has ever given it to me.
Happiness comes again, is the flower language of lily of the valley.
Legend has it that after Adam and Eve were tricked by a poisonous snake into eating the forbidden fruit, the guardian god of the forest died with him in order to punish the poisonous snake.
And lily of the valley is the incarnation of the patron saint after his death.
I thought to myself that a big company is good, and there is such a thoughtful welcome gift.
When I think of filling out the employee psychological test form, there is a question about my favorite flower, and I smile.
However, before this wonderful start lasted half a day or an hour, I encountered a challenge.
In the conference room, Sinan sat in front with a straight face, and his personal secretary Linda conveyed the holy decree.
At that time, I thought this man really lived like a Lafayette.
"The topic of this supplement must be innovative, if there are no good ideas and ideas, all of them will be gone. Sinan put down the last sentence and walked out with a black face.
I heard a whisper of a simultaneous whisper next to me.
"In the last issue, Anna's team stole the limelight, and I was unwilling!"
"The two of them are really interesting, after so many years of fighting, they are still happy!"
"It is said that there is sympathy between masters, but it is difficult for a mountain to accommodate two tigers, unless the male and female are combined, you say that he is ......."
"Impossible, Sinan is gay, although he has not come out, but someone has seen him in and out of the theme bar. ”
I listened quietly, and a hundred and eighty expressions had already been made in my mind.
Sure enough, you have to infiltrate it to hear the hot gossip.
"Goddess Athena, help me find some information about the brand's culture. "Luo Li, the male editor who said he was Seiya before, assigned me a task.
Yes, I almost burst out laughing when I first heard his name.
My colleagues reassured me to laugh because I wasn't alone.
Jokes aside, everyone at work is unambiguous.
It's a match for the working atmosphere in the movie I've seen before, "The Devil Wears Prada".
In addition to Luo Li, several editors explained their work to me.
I held a stack of printed materials, sorted them into categories, and thoughtfully labeled the theme with colorful post-it notes.
"The sun is good, it's much easier to use than those interns and recent graduates. ”
Luo Li stepped on the swivel chair under his feet, drew an arc to me, took the information in my hand, and slid back.
I found that the original English name is used in formal occasions, especially when there are foreign employees, and everyone still likes to use Chinese names for daily work communication.
That's right, promoting local culture and inheriting the national spirit is the right way.
I thought to myself, and I didn't delay the work at hand.
Before lunch, I delivered all the materials they needed to them, and then I started to clean up my desk and take my first sip of water of the day.
With a long sigh of relief, I was just about to think about what to call for takeout at noon, when the landline rang again.
"Athena, I'm Kelly, come on. After picking it up, I almost forgot that Athena was me, hurriedly agreed, and hung up.
I quietly asked my colleague Xia Xue at the next table, who is Kelly?
She made a nervous expression, stared at her big beautiful eyes, and said, "It's the editor in charge of our group, very picky!
I nodded, and thanked her with a look in my eyes.
She drew a cross in my favor, which I think is too exaggerated.
Later, I realized that Xia Xue was considering my new endurance and didn't dare to portray Kelly's style truthfully.
The assignment she gave me was to read 10 articles in mainstream foreign art magazines in three days and write a 10,000-word summary containing at least three personal opinions.
I think it's even more demanding than writing a dissertation.
And I still have my own job, which can only be done in the spare time and after work.
I was in no mood for lunch.
In the past, in Jiang Haocheng's magazine, I had three provinces and three days, what to eat for breakfast, what to eat for lunch, and what to eat for dinner.
Now, heheda, I don't want to eat.
I finally managed to stay up until the end of the day, and I realized that the so-called "10-to-5" flexible working hours here are all decorations.
At five o'clock, the whole office building was still busy shuttling figures, and no one clocked in and out on time!
I don't know if they treat work as a life or a lover, but in short, my career outlook has been completely turned upside down.
Sure enough, there is no success that comes out of thin air, and the aura that comes easily.
People who are better than me work harder than me, and I am shameless.
Originally, I wanted to look for a house while I got off work, but I even wanted to sleep directly in the company at one point.
Because I didn't eat lunch, my stomach ached a little, so I hurriedly opened the takeaway app and wanted to order dinner.
As soon as I picked up my phone, a call came in, and I was momentarily distracted by staring at the caller ID on the screen.
Recently, the brain and heart, which had been filled with busyness and blood, were suddenly empty.
