32. Behind the coldness

Seriously, I'm really nervous at the moment, not because I'm afraid that she will do something bad, but because I'm afraid that if someone else sees it, then we'll be in big trouble. This place is a small garden in the factory, although at this time, basically no one else will come here, but just like I didn't expect to come here suddenly, it is difficult to guarantee that there are people who can't sleep, come to this quiet place to take a stroll.

But the top boss is drunk like this, I can't ignore it, since I see it, I have to be responsible for her safety. As for why she drank here, maybe it was because the people she was waiting for didn't come, and she was sad, maybe there was something sad at home, she fell asleep, and came here to relax and relieve her boredom like me, I don't care about the reason, I just send her back.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly said: "Section chief, it's late, you look like this now, it's very unsafe, let me send you back to the dormitory." ”

"Don't... It's eventful, my heart is bitter, so bitter. After speaking, I saw her tears gushing like a spring, fluttering down, and with tears in her eyes, she poured another sip of wine.

As soon as I saw the woman's tears, my heart felt like it was being pumped, as if it was softened by the woman's tears, and I was distressed and at a loss, not knowing what to do. I know that the section chief's cry of "I am so bitter in my heart" must have reached the point of incomprehensible pain, a shout, a catharsis, and even more helplessness.

At the moment, I can't do anything, be the best listener, and let the section chief pour out the bitter water in his heart, and that's enough.

I said in a soft voice: "Sister, just tell me, why are you very bitter? This doesn't look like you? I have always thought that you are the strongest person in my eyes, I know that you are cold on the outside and hot on the inside, you are a good woman, how can you be very bitter?"

As soon as I finished speaking, the section chief suddenly hugged me, buried his head in my arms, and began to cry, and tried his best to suppress his crying, but made his shoulders twitch continuously. I understand that the section chief's actions at this moment have nothing to do with love, and are purely preamble acts before the story. So I kept patting her on the back, trying to convey some comfort to her.

Sure enough, after crying for a while, the section chief put away his tears, sat up straight, and began to speak.

It turned out that when she was only four years old, her father died of illness, and she lost her father's love since she was a child, and she developed a strong personality and paid attention to face, otherwise she would not have participated in the work of the factory at the age of 18, and she was never allowed to reveal her relationship with Director Wu, the stepfather, and she did not need anyone to take care of her.

It's a pity that life is always very mocking, you are very strong, you value face very much, but you can't do what you want, you don't give face. At the age of 22, he has been married to the son of a big official in the province for more than 5 years, but he just can't give birth to a child. Last year, his husband hooked up with another girl behind her back, and she found out and persuaded her many times until they quarreled, but her husband went his own way and still mixed with that girl, and usually didn't go home, and now she is 7 months pregnant. And she has worked hard for several years and has not been pregnant yet, and she has no confidence to divorce her husband, and she doesn't dare to tear her face and make a big fuss because she is afraid of face. In addition, she is a cold personality, not sociable, no girlfriends and friends around, and not good at handling the relationship with her mother-in-law's family, so the relationship with the rest of her mother-in-law's family is also very stiff, and she can always see her mother-in-law's contemptuous eyes in her mother-in-law's house on weekdays, and her sister-in-law even pointed at her nose and scolded her for swearing, so that she didn't even dare to go home, and lived in the unit's single dormitory all day long. Often when I couldn't sleep at midnight, I would buy a bottle of wine by myself, come to this small garden, and find a secluded place to get myself drunk.

This is really a scripture that is difficult to read!

Section Chief Xia He, who looks arrogant, indifferent, and unsmiling on weekdays, turns out that there are so many hardships in family life, although that kind of coldness is due to his character, but it is not ruled out that it is a kind of protection for himself, a kind of hiding, and a kind of mask that is ashamed to see people.

After listening to her story, I was helpless, I was only full of sympathy in my heart, but I couldn't show it, because for a woman like the section chief, who wants to save face, let her see that you are sympathizing with her and pity her, just like you stripped her of her whole body clothes, the reaction must be repeated cover-up, shame and indignation.

I don't know how to persuade her, I can only avoid the contradictions of her family, and say the great truth of life: "Sister, as the saying goes, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, it is not you alone, only to suffer from life, each of us is tormented by life, in domestic words: every family has a difficult scripture, in imported words: happy families are similar, unfortunate families have their own misfortunes, this is the true portrayal of being tormented by life." Since we come to this world, we are voluntarily accepting that we are suffering from life, so if there are unsatisfactory things, that is the normal phenomenon, everywhere can be satisfactory, life is smooth sailing, that is the abnormal phenomenon. You have to be like all of us, grit your teeth and persevere, only by persevering, you can wait for the last dawn. As long as you keep at it, I'm sure you'll meet someone who genuinely likes you and won't dislike you, and that's one of them. Second, when others hurt you, when people all over the world betrayed you, you remember, there are still so many people who are paying attention to you, loving you, and will never betray you, will never hurt you, such as your current parents, your sister Wu Na, and me, and our Cory sisters. Third, look at everything optimistically, including what hurts, if it weren't for the betrayals and hurts, how could you recognize a person so early? How could you take a step ahead of time to stay away from the hurt, or actively face the hurt? Don't wait for your youth to be gone before you regret it. Fourth, go and enjoy life, don't let life be unsatisfactory for a while, ruin your whole life. After all, the love between men and women is only a part of life, and it is also a wave of the whole life. Don't be scared by a raging wave and never dare to go into the sea again. ”

I don't know if she can understand these big truths of mine, anyway, I tried my best. I hope she can put down her face, make the right decision, get out of the troubles, and cherish herself.

We sat and chatted all the time, and most of the time I was a listener, listening to her talk about her biological father and her bad experiences when she was a child, until Chief Xia subsided and began to speak sharply, I got up and sent her back downstairs to the women's dormitory.

The next morning, I dragged my tired body into the office, usually I was the first to go to the office, busy wiping the desk, sweeping the floor, taking out the garbage, getting hot water, putting tea in everyone's cups, and then sitting down to drink saliva and read the newspaper. I blushed and apologized to Section Chief Xia, who was still so cold: "I'm sorry, I'm late", Section Chief Xia didn't even look at me, and continued to hold a newspaper without squinting.

I sat awkwardly at my desk, pulled open a drawer and pulled out my notebook, extracting good paragraphs and policy-oriented buzzwords. Section Chief Xia sat for a while and then got up and went to her broadcast studio, the atmosphere began to liven up, the two girls chattered endlessly with all kinds of persuasion, inquiry, and comforting words, I shook my head with a wry smile, and thanked everyone for their kindness. At this time, the phone rang, informing me to go to Director Wu's office, and the two girls looked at me sympathetically, shook their heads and sighed.

Because of my special relationship with Director Wu, I never took the initiative to find him in the factory, this is also the first time I entered the factory director's office, only to see a luxurious large office, a circle of sofas, behind a large table, is sitting on the phone Director Wu, while listening to the phone and laughing, there must be something good.

After answering the phone, he stood up happily, invited me to sit on the sofa, and spoke first: "Xiao Zhang, you dealt with it very well last night, which made me have more face, and also made me feel that you are a very affectionate person, I didn't mistake you, it is worth dating, and you are a good child." However, as a friend, I still want to say that you have given up a great opportunity to reach the sky, a little too impulsive, you know, you will not be able to reach that height if you struggle in the mainland for a lifetime. ”

I said weakly, "Uncle Wu, let's not mention the thing that has already passed, okay? ”

"Hahaha, okay, don't talk about him. I have some work to talk to you about. ”

After speaking, his face became serious: "Let me ask you, did you make a speech before the recitation broadcast at noon yesterday, was it a free speech that you gave on the spot, or was it a manuscript that had already been written in advance?"

I scratched my head and recalled, "Oh, are you asking about our section chief's welcome speech and my impromptu speech?" ”

These little things are the most common due meaning in my scope of work, so I don't take it to heart and forget it when it's over. I didn't expect Director Wu to mention it in a serious way, could it be that I made a mistake in the political line in my words?

I hurriedly asked weakly, "Director Wu, did I say the wrong thing?"

Director Wu didn't speak, just looked at me fixedly, and my psychology became more and more hairy: "Director Wu, I am in charge of publicity, and I usually care most about national policies, so I like to read newspapers to study when I have nothing to do...... If there is any problem, I will bear it alone, and it has nothing to do with our section chief or you, you can deal with me alone. After saying that, I consciously lowered my head and waited for the verdict.

"Bang", I jumped, and said in my heart: It's over, the director of the big factory is angry, it seems that my job is not guaranteed this time.
