Chapter 3: The Leftover Girl (2)
Wenwen is an employee who is older than Xinya in my company, an ordinary girl who is dignified and white, looks very shy on the outside, but has a special wilting idea. Her well-proportioned figure, calm and calm temperament and calm and introverted personality have won the favor of many young men.
But Wenwen is an alternative and maverick in our company.
After the death of my wife, I had the experience of unsuccessful hiring a nanny, and the incompetence of the nanny made my daughter feel a big gap psychologically and emotionally. Later, my daughter, who was only 8 years old at the time, ate and went to school by myself.
But after all, there is a company of more than 20 people to eat that needs to be operated and managed there, and I often lose sight of one or the other, and even get anxious.
Wenwen was a new employee who had just arrived at the company at that time, and the burden of work was not so heavy. When I can't take care of her, I sometimes ask Wenwen to help pick up my daughter from school, accompany her with her homework, and even play with her.
At first, it was only occasional, but slowly Wenwen seemed to be happy to help me with this. Private companies don't have so many rules and regulations, I think about business matters to give her less pressure, just like that, Wenwen helped me take care of my daughter and "do private work" and then it became normalized.
After getting along for a long time, Wenwen's tone and eyes have changed subtly when she talks to me. At the time, I just thought it was self-inflicted, and I didn't pay much attention to it.
Later, when Wenwen began to quietly help me wash my clothes, and sometimes pull my daughter to cook the meal, I concluded that I was not self-inflicted.
It's also a man who has been in love and has had a woman, can I force this point?
Besides, even as I surmised, it stands up to scrutiny.
When my wife died, I was in my 30s and less than 40, and although it was very difficult, the company had stabilized at that time, and it was not an exaggeration to say that I would have no worries about food and clothing in the next two lives. I'm not tall and handsome, but I'm also a decent man, who thinks he's loyal to his family and wife, and she also sees it in her eyes, has more contact, and her feelings are growing, and it's not an exaggeration to hope that there will be such a man with her for life.
During that period, Wenwen always found a reason to call me when she had something to do, and the weekend holiday was the same, at the beginning she asked and communicated more about her daughter's situation, and after she was promoted to department manager, she often had business reports or discussions, which was also a very good reason.
It's just that some calls can be made or not, and some calls can be made to a long story short.
When I decided to recruit Xinya into the company, Wenwen resolutely opposed Xinya on the grounds that she "came from the wrong way and the purpose was not pure", and even had a dispute over it.
"Don't you think it's ridiculous and funny? Oh, she said that when she looked at the decoration at the entrance of the company, she felt familiar and familiar, and you believed it? Do you really know her origin and background? She said that she escaped death in a car accident and lost her memory for a while, so you feel pitiful, so I said that I have a terminal illness, will you feel distressed?"
Wenwen said that it did make sense, she behaved more rationally than me, and it was also for my good.
At first, I also thought that Xinya was just a deception, and I was skeptical of what she said, but then my intuition told me that Xinya was not acting, she was serious and sincere.
As for where that intuition came from, I can't say.
Seeing that I not only didn't listen to the advice, but Xinya also doubled her trust in her after entering the company, Wenwen was very cold to me for a while, and when she saw me, the eyes that shot at me seemed to be a stream of resentment.
I used to joke with her, "Wenwen, if your gaze kills me one day, what benefits can you get?" Wenwen deliberately stared at me with more hideous eyes: "If my gaze can kill you, I will kill you first and then commit suicide, and act as a ghost." ”
For Wenwen's thoughts, I once pretended to be confused for a while, but then I couldn't pretend anymore, and I didn't want to delay her girl's best love time, so I had to have a showdown with Wenwen:
"Wenwen, thank you for looking up to me so much, in addition to you being excellent at work, you have also helped me so much in life, thank you very much. ”
Wenwen was obviously not interested in my words, and said with a red face: "Say what you want to say." ”
"I definitely can't let go of my wife for a while, I hope you are young now, cherish and enjoy the most precious youth, fall in love when you should fall in love, and get married when you should get married. ”
"Are you too lenient? Don't worry, I am in charge of my youth, and it won't affect you. ”
Wenwen stared at me with a vicious gaze, gritting her teeth very exaggeratedly, and with a very hateful expression, it seemed to chew me up and spit on the ground.
My meaning is clear, and I have no intention of further mother-in-law, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, and the adults smile generously without remembering the villains.
Wenwen made her own decisions in this way, and made herself an older leftover girl, two years older than Xinya.
It wasn't until everyone started to believe that I didn't mean that to Xinya that Wenwen's attitude towards me was a little better, but every time I looked at me, the look in my eyes always made me dare not face it.
My company is engaged in trade, mainly importing products to sell domestically, and generally there is no such thing as urgency. As a backbone and department manager, it is reasonable for Wenwen to come to me for something. But since Xinya took charge, even if it is important business matters, there are few opportunities to call me, let alone weekends and holidays.
Now, it's the weekend, Wenwen calls me, I don't think it matters, right?
Because I was scheduled to go down to find my wife's ghost on Saturday, I found an excuse to let Xinya stay in her rental house that night.
Now that Xinya is not around, it is inconvenient to ask her if Wenwen is looking for me if there is something urgent at work, and I want to call Wenwen back is also a matter of effort.
"Are you tired?"
I dialed Wenwen's phone, and she seemed to be waiting for me, and as soon as the bell rang, she answered it, and opened her mouth before I could speak.
Wenwen's voice was soft, sweet, happy, and seemed a little shy.
Wenwen: What's wrong?
"Wenwen, you seem to be in a good mood, what kind of happy event?" I heard that it didn't matter, maybe I was infected by her, and my tone on the phone was relatively relaxed.
"Wenwen, why don't you speak?"
My first sentence was finished, and Wenwen on the other end of the phone didn't move for a long time. I took my phone to my eyes to check if it was dropped, and made sure that the call was connected before putting it back on my ear and asking.
"You... You... Don't remember?" the voice sounded a little lost.
"What's the matter?" I asked Wenwen as I quickly remembered if Wenwen had told me anything important recently.
After another long day of silence, a small voice like a mosquito came: "What happened last night!"
Last night?
Last night I went to the underworld to find my dead wife, is Wenwen ......
I started to get nervous.
Wouldn't it be a laughing stock if people knew that I spent a huge amount of money to "learn the arts" after my daughter went abroad to study abroad, and sneaked into the underworld late at night to find the ghost of my wife.
"Last night...... Miscellaneous...... What's the matter?"
There was silence again, and then Wenwen's stupid voice came from the other end of the phone: "If you don't remember, forget it." ”
"Hey, hey!"
Wenwen had already hung up the phone.
