After separating from Xinya, my mind was full of Xinya's helpless appearance and tears all the way, and my heart was a little painful.

I don't know if it was a lack of principles or compassion, but despite Wenwen's strong opposition, Xinya ended up being left in the company by me and became a staff member without a specific position.

Because I still suspected that she had sequelae after the car accident, and I was afraid that she would have problems cooperating with others or be discriminated against, I asked her to help me with some chores. My company wasn't that big, and I didn't have a full-time secretary like a dog, but then Xinyarang broke the structure that hadn't changed for years and gave her the title of secretary.

Contrary to the original judgment, perhaps because I listened to and understood more around me, Xinya did not do what I feared, but made it clear about the work I arranged, and she thought of many things that I didn't expect, and she was still learning business knowledge. Slowly, when I was not in the company or couldn't take care of it, some business matters, especially the company's business management, let Xinya come forward on my behalf, and over time, she became a vice president in charge of the company, and I unconsciously formed a dependence on her.

Wenwen has been in a mood for a long time because of this.

I remember that at the beginning, Wenwen was all in the form of jokes.

That day, Wenwen finished talking about work in my office, should she leave or not, and I asked her, "Wenwen still has something?"

"You seem to like Xinya, don't you?"

"She's really adaptable to work. "I avoid the real and the false.

"You know I didn't mean that. "Wenwen was obviously not satisfied with my slippery head.

"Don't think about it, don't mean anything else, you're all great. ”

Wenwen squinted at me, then smiled and asked, "Let me ask you a stupid question, Xinya and me, who do you think is beautiful?"

It's a silly question, but the answer isn't difficult: it's all beautiful. ”

"Can't you be honest and sincere?"

"Okay. At my age, as long as you pass the beautiful baseline, the girl's beauty is no longer the focus, and both of you are far above the baseline. ”

"Then the key areas of your attention, which of us are more... More... Who's better?"

"Push me?"

"Since you think I'm thinking too much, is it difficult to evaluate objectively?"

"Dressing and wearing hats are good, which is not a good thing that can be objective. I smiled and played Tai Chi with Wenwen.

"It's boring!" Wenwen stomped her foot lightly, and glanced back at me as she went out.

Later, after I promoted Xinya to assistant general manager, Wenwen directly expressed her dissatisfaction to me.

"Do you like her as a person or do you affirm her ability to work?" Wenwen was no longer joking this time, but more of a question.

"A person and her work ability are inherently one, how can they be so clearly distinguished?"

"Don't play tricks, you know that some people are not popular in the world, but they have strong work ability and still get a good living space. ”

Wenwen is so serious, I think it is necessary to make it clear to her.

"Xinya has some familiar styles, including the way she speaks and behaves, so it's not an exaggeration to say that I like her, and from that perspective, I like you too. But it's not the same thing as what you understand or what you want to explore, get it?"

Despite this explanation, she always felt that I had a special preference for Xinya in her daily work, and Wenwen once asked to resign in anger.

Although I expressed my sincere and reluctant attitude from the perspective of work, I did not express my thoughts of asking her to stay due to personal reasons. Because compared to the company's affairs, I still don't want to miss Wenwen's lifelong event.

Of course, Wenwen did not choose to leave in the end.

Later, one time, it seemed to be a weekend or a holiday, and I summoned several key business personnel to my home to cook and eat together, drink and play cards.

Xinya went for the first time, just like the last time I was downstairs in the office, looking around curiously in my house, just looking was not enough, and like an old lady, she slowly reached out and touched it here and there.

Seeing her like this, I also felt very curious and asked her: "Xinya, what's wrong with you, do you like my style very much?"

"I've seen it in someone's house, and it looks exactly like yours. ”

"Who's that?"

Xinya frowned and pondered, and shook her head: "I can't remember." ”

When I went up to the second floor to visit, Xinya walked into my study, looked at the portrait of my wife, and stayed for a long time refusing to move.

I thought maybe I remembered my parents who died in a car accident, and quickly dragged her downstairs.

Everyone talked and laughed, played and played, cleaned up and left after eating. A group of people had already walked out of the gate twenty or thirty meters, and Xinya suddenly turned back and asked me, "I'll sleep with you tonight." ”

Although Xinya had been in the company for some time and had learned more about each other, I never thought that Xinya would have the idea of living with me, and there was no shyness or ridiculousness!

This completely subverted her image of maturity, tranquility and stability in my heart!

I was stunned for a second, and quickly said, "What nonsense are you talking about, let's go, you see they are waiting for you!" Because at this time everyone else stopped there and looked back at us, probably because Xinya suddenly turned back and felt a little curious.

Later, Xinya told me in my office that she wanted to move to live with me, and she was very serious, just like when she wanted to work in my company, she was very sure of her choice.

It's really a brain problem, and I don't think I think of myself as an outsider!

Although I didn't say it in front of her, I became more and more suspicious in my heart, and I began to have a bad impression of Xinya.

"You're a girl in your 20s, I'm a widower in my 40s, and there's no one else at home, what's the deal with living together?

"I feel that you are kind to everything there, and you have a sense of steadiness and security at home. ”

I thought to myself that it is still this set of rhetoric, the first step to enter my company, and now I want to use this rhetoric to enter my house, will I still use this rhetoric to get into my bed, right?

Isn't it really as Wenwen suspects, Xinya has long known about my situation and is implementing her ulterior plan step by step.

Such a vulgar and dirty idea did hover in my mind for a long time with doubt.

"I've only been there once, and I feel so kind that I don't want to leave, I want to move to live with me, don't you worry about drowning in rumors?" I still very firmly rejected her.

"Don't be afraid!" Xinya looked directly at me, her voice small but equally determined.

After my wife's death for so many years, I haven't moved the idea of remarrying, one is that my daughter is not yet an adult in school, and the other is that I can't let go of my wife, and I feel that I owe my wife too much.

Xinya looked solemn and quiet, but she recklessly said such a thing, I wonder if I had given her any wrong hints, or that she had misunderstood some of my words or actions?

Thinking about it carefully, in addition to handing over the company's business to her without reservation, I really didn't find anything out of the ordinary in terms of personal feelings, and I didn't even talk much about my personal problems.

"What are you kidding! You're not afraid, I'm afraid. ”

It may be that my tone of refusal is more resolute, and my expression is more stern, Xinya stands on the opposite side of my desk, looking at me, very pitiful and helpless.

Alas, tears are shed at every turn, and it is true.
