Chapter 11: Su Wan's condition
On the other side of the table, there was a young man sitting, he was still holding a cocktail in his hand, but he quickly put it down when Qin Hao and his wife arrived, and immediately got up and greeted him with a smile, and the gold-encrusted Rolex watch on his wrist was particularly conspicuous.
It's Mu Sen, I never dreamed that he would appear in Xiamen, and in such a form!
Just when I was stunned, Su Wan picked up the wine bottle and poured it into the glass, then took a sip of it, and said with a little self-deprecation: "The shopping mall is like a battlefield, unpredictable, and the two sides are playing such a big list, in fact, I should have thought that Jian Xi's side would communicate with Mr. Qin in advance, but Mu Sen personally appeared on the field was far from what I expected!"
"So what do we do now?" I asked softly, retracting my gaze.
"Heh, what else can I do?" shaking the wine glass in her hand, she frowned and said, "I have seen Mu Sen's growth along the way, as long as he takes over personally, there is generally no possibility of failure, unless, he takes the initiative to quit..."
"Is that a possibility?" I said, my voice lowering, "After all, he knows you well, and I feel like he's nice to you, and if you take the initiative to speak, I think..."
"Enough!" Before I finished speaking, I was interrupted by Su Wan and glared at me fiercely, she said, "He is him, I am me, this kind of foolish talk in the future, I am not allowed to mention it again!"
After saying that, she picked up her handbag and walked towards the door of the restaurant with some anger.
I didn't speak, just followed her honestly, the night at this moment, has gradually settled, the distant sky, the sunset, accompanied by the gust of sea breeze, but give people a feeling of relaxation and happiness.
"Since I'm in such a bad mood, I'm here anyway, why don't you go back to the hotel and go to the beach to relax?" I said boldly.
After I finished speaking, Su Wan, who was walking in front, obviously paused, and then turned around and walked towards the beach, although she did not answer me directly, but her actions "betrayed" herself.
The sea breeze is very strong, and the closer you get to the coastline, the more obvious the feeling of rejection becomes, accompanied by the fluttering of Su Wan's shawl hair, and with the long skirt as white as snow, there is a sense of a fairy descending to earth.
Following her, I lost my mind slightly, and even my pace slowed down a lot, until she turned around and called me, and I suddenly chased after her.
The seaside beach, the waves dance, wave after wave of circulation, in the sky red sun, with Zeze golden light, accompanied by beauty, good scenery into the arms, human life, nothing more than this.
At this time, Su Wan took off the high-heeled insoles under her, straightened the corners of her skirt, and when she sat down, she said thoughtfully: "Liu Ming, what do you say people live in this world for a lifetime?"
"Probably for the people you love, or for the people who love you. "After thinking about it, I said.
"Then do you think I'm like that?" she asked suddenly, turning her head at me.
"Probably so. Glancing at the snow-white feet under the corners of her skirt, I speculated.
"I think you're wrong. Shaking her head, she said, "I live to let the starry sky grow step by step, not to mention the brand to the whole of China, at least, it can become a place where I work for the rest of my life, but now it seems that this goal seems to be more distant..."
"Why?" I was stunned when I heard her words, "Don't you have any relatives, or someone you love?"
"Huh. Smiling, she laughed at herself and said, "Yes, yes, but there is no love, in fact, the current starry sky is not as strong as you imagined, and even some are terminally ill, you can say without hesitation that without the list of Changyou technology, our situation will become more and more passive..."
"But, you have to believe me, one day, the starry sky will regain her rightful vitality and stand on the stage again, and impress everyone...", her gaze at me gradually softened, but it was extremely serious.
Looking at her big watery eyes, I was inexplicably in a trance, unable to tell who the girl in front of me was, only a primitive desire to protect her and hug her into my arms.
But in the end, I didn't make such an outrageous move, but nodded solemnly and said: "Director Su, don't worry, no matter what situation the starry sky is in, I will never give up and go all out!"
After getting my reply, she nodded with satisfaction, and the relief was completely written on her face, and then said: "Okay, it's not too early, let's go back to the hotel early, and rush back in the early morning." ”
After speaking, she directly lifted her high heels and got up, turned her head and left.
I followed her without saying a word, the cool sea breeze hit my face, but my heart gradually fell into contemplation, what is the crisis in Su Wan's mouth, is it really so unbearable now?
With this question, that night, I followed her back to Donghai City by plane, the familiar traffic, the familiar lights, everything was as usual, quiet and peaceful.
In the following month, I began to redouble my efforts, going out early and returning late to visit customers every day, I thought that as long as I worked hard, it would pay off after all, but at the end of the month, I didn't sign a single order, and the ranking was at the bottom and the most dazzling.
Every time the sales department has a meeting, I am almost the object of name, in addition, the guy behind me is Wu Yifan, who is probably a difficult brother, so the two also sympathize with each other and often tease each other.
That night, he also specially invited me to rub a meal at the food stall downstairs, and after three rounds of drinking, he said with a drunken feeling: "Liu Ming, do you know that the current starry sky is no longer in the same thriving state as before, and even a little difficult, I'm afraid it won't be long before we all have to roll up and leave..."
I was dumbfounded, the wine bottle that should have been raised paused in mid-air, and suddenly I felt very "ignorant", obviously the whole company knew that the starry sky was in trouble, but I turned a blind eye, or rather, I didn't want to inquire at all...
But sometimes, avoiding it is not the best choice, so I slowly put down the bottle and pretended to ask, "Why don't I know?"
He casually picked up a lamb skewer, and when he put it to his mouth, he smiled and said: "What else can there be, it's nothing more than that you can't get the order, and the whole company can't do it, so naturally you have to go into trouble step by step, and layoffs are inevitable when the time comes..."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and pretended to be confused: "Liu Ming, do you know who is the one who forced the starry sky into such a desperate situation?"
"Who?" I asked subconsciously.
"My good girl, it seems that you really don't know anything!" Seeing my appearance, he was surprised, held his forehead and said, "Actually, most of our starry sky's list was snatched away by an advertising company called Jian Xi, I heard that this company has just received angel round investment, has a lot of money, recruits everywhere, and suppresses the price of peers, as for our starry sky, it is the focus of being taken care of..."
"Moreover, the boss behind this company seems to be called Mu Sen, and there are rumors that he and Su Wan, the director of our beauty, are small, but I always feel a little nonsense, since it is small, there is no need to force the starry sky to such a point..."
As he spoke, he was still bright-eyed and began to gossip, I didn't pay much attention to him, but asked at the end: "If one day, the starry sky really reaches the point you expected and is going to go out of business, will you leave early, or prepare your resume and find another job?"
In fact, Wu Yifan didn't answer my questions all night, and it wasn't until the next morning that he texted me: "If I can, I hope to stay in the starry sky and persevere..."
Seeing this message, the corners of my mouth showed a long-lost smile, and I suddenly wanted to forward this message to Su Wan to see, but after all, I still didn't do that, after all, not everyone is suitable for this kind of expression, and not everyone likes this kind of expression.
It's better to keep a low profile.
But Wu Yifan's remarks alone can't withstand the general public after all, and when I arrived at the company, the situation was even worse than I imagined.
"You still don't know, I heard that the capital chain of the starry sky is about to be broken, and the money is spent on channel maintenance, but it is not always available, and it can only be consumed, and if it continues like this, this table will collapse sooner or later, who knows what the situation will be when the time comes..."
"Anyway, I've prepared my resume, and I've had enough work experience in the stars in the past few years, isn't it the same everywhere, otherwise the salary can be higher, and I heard that Jianxi Advertising is recruiting on a large scale, and I'm going to go over there to test the water..."
"Heh, you have to explore the way here, and when the time comes, you will also introduce to the brothers, maybe you can make a team as colleagues..."
Everyone, you and I talked about it, and they didn't care about my passing by in the slightest, and even whispered behind my back:
"Hey... Look at this kid, it seems to be called Liu Ming, I heard that Director Su was recruited into the company despite public opinion, but what was the result?"
"Yes, I heard from the people in the sales department that this person has been working for nearly a month, but he hasn't signed a single order, you said that our Director Su is too, he is still too young, how can he recruit people casually..."
Their words continued until they got on the elevator, and this kind of rumor gradually dissipated, but my heart was covered with a layer of haze, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and the tree fell and scattered, which could not be more appropriate to describe at this moment.
Back in the sales department, I sat in my position and lit a few cigarettes, swallowed the clouds, spit out the fog, and finally decided to go to Su Wan, because I knew that she must be bored at the moment and needed someone to talk to.
I'm not necessarily the best candidate, but it's better than nothing.
However, when I went over, I found out that Su Wan was not in the office, or rather, she didn't come to work at all today.
Just when I was hesitating to call her, Wang Xiaoyue hurriedly ran in, grabbed my hand and said, "Liu Ming, it turns out that you are here, hurry up and help me go to Director Su's house to have a look, I suspect that something happened to her, just now I made several phone calls in a row and didn't get through..."
