October【4】
"I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I don't think I'm really interested in your company's project, and I don't have the possibility to invest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Luo Meng said bluntly, and a basin of cold water poured Kevin and Ji Wei together. Of course, no matter how decisive it is, it also needs a twist: "However, not investing in your project is not all because of your project problems, the main reason is the development direction of our company in Asia." Our main focus is on building a team in China, and we hope that all projects will be done in-house in the future. ”
Kevin and Ji Wei were silent together.
"However, it is not that there is no possibility of cooperation, if you don't want to run this company in the future, you can send me the resumes of your employees - if suitable, I can hire you." Romon added, with a gentle smile on his face.
In the end, Tai Qi struck the last cold bell for this conversation: "I just heard about your staffing and their experience, I think even if you recommend people to come, we will only selectively hire them, because a few of them are indeed not qualified enough." ”
Qiang Yan smiled and sent Luo Meng and Tai Qi all the way downstairs, and Kevin and Ji Wei stayed in the corridor together on the way back to the office. They stood facing each other, and Ji Wei buried his head, unable to see if Kevin was as depressed as himself.
Perhaps both of them were waiting for the other party to be the first to break the silence, and the helpless silence circulated between the corridors until a burst of national anthem sounded - this was Ji Wei's latest mobile phone ringtone.
picked up the phone, and Qi Bingxin's voice came from the other end of the phone-
"Ji Wei, we have seen your plan, but it was not approved. Of course, this is not because your plan is not good, but because the company's investment funds are losing too fast and there are too many bad projects, so it has decided to focus on a few big projects. I'm so embarrassed to see you working so hard......"
“…… It doesn't matter, Mr. Qi...... Thank you very much for calling me informed, and I am very grateful for that. Ji Wei tried to make her voice sound calm and energetic.
Hanging up the phone, no need to explain, Kevin had already guessed the content of the call from her expression conversation. He was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ji Wei-
"Don't talk, let me calm down......"
Ji Wei ...... Don't be like that, some things have to be faced sooner or later. ”
"Such setbacks are normal, aren't they? It's not easy to be a company, as long as you survive this period, you will definitely be fine......"
"Will it be okay?" Kevin smiled wryly: "Whether it's a large state-owned enterprise, a large foreign company, a large media company, or whatever, we've tried it all." Even if you have a little luck and a little talent, what can you do? What if you try your best? It's not always that bad...... What exactly are we holding onto? ”
"Kevin! What are you talking about? What do you mean?! Ji Wei raised her head suddenly, with an angry expression...... As for the reason for her anger, she herself can't say.
Kevin kept an indifferent and bitter smile on his face, and said to her calmly: "Ji Wei, I tried my best, we all tried our best...... Let's not embarrass ourselves anymore...... Let's get this company out of the way. ”
I haven't been in touch with Ji Wei for two weeks, but Guan Yunyun is not in the mood to disturb his friend's busy state. Like an electrocardiogram, Guan Yunyun also fell into an endless trough period...... She has been in this state since she talked to Xu Yirong that day.
Some words are easy to say, but not necessarily simple to do: for example, when Xu Yirong asked herself to leave Xu Yunfeng, she blurted out the sentence "I know." ”
Does she know? - She doesn't know.
She didn't know how to face the ridicule and intervention of the Xu family, she didn't know how to deal with those emotions that were crushed by betrayal and deception, she didn't know how to block the insecurity that came like a tide, and she didn't know how to stop her endless pain and struggle...... She didn't know.
She tried to rehearse the breakup dialogue in her head, and just a few random sentences made her unable to sleep for days......
She gradually realized that her feelings for Xu Yunfeng had been firmly stuck to her whole body like strong tape, and now that she was suddenly lifted like this, the result would inevitably be that her skin would be opened, her muscles and bones would be exposed, and her body would be incomplete.
She also gradually realized that even if her self-esteem was trampled on and her faith was shattered, she did not have the courage to say the word "break up" at this moment, or even ...... I didn't even have the strength to leave...... It's like a desperate prisoner sentenced to death, the only thing he can do is to pray quietly and silently wait for the day of judgment to come.
If it were Ji Wei, what would she do? She must be furious, and she will definitely skin the other person, and ...... Oh no, she wouldn't let herself fall into that situation...... Guan Yunyun thought with a wry smile.
However, she is Guan Yunyun...... When I am sad, I wring my hands, when I cry, I cover my face, and when I am angry, I tell myself that impulses are the devil, whether they are conscious or unconscious.
Also, when you keep your secrets, you keep your heart closed......
This is Guan Yunyun.
She thought, cried, and hated......
She couldn't hate Xu Yunfeng, what she hated was this cowardice......
She hated herself......
As soon as night came, Xu Yunfeng returned to the apartment, looking a little grizzled.
Guan Yunyun had already cooked the meal and placed it on the table for two hours, so she waited for two hours with the meal.
"Why is it so late? I'll go and help you get a hot meal. Xiaoyun made a gesture to bring the food into the kitchen.
"Xiaoyun, don't be busy...... I have something to talk to you about. With a hint of unresoluteness, Xu Yunfeng sat down at the dining table, opposite Xiaoyun.
"Say it." Guan Yunyun stopped his movements and slowly sat down again.
Xu Yunfeng pressed the fingers of his crossed hands against his closed lips, and was silent for a long time with a heavy face, and finally spoke: "Xiaoyun, can we delay our marriage?" ”
"You've talked to your parents, haven't you?" Without expression, Guan Yunyun asked him.
"Yes......" Xu Yunfeng's tone was full of embarrassment.
"They don't agree, do they?" Same expression, same calm.
He was silent for a moment and replied, "Yes." ”
"I know." Guan Yunyun smiled: "I also talked to your father." ”
Xu Yunfeng frowned: "What did he tell you?" I guess I didn't say anything too much. ”
"Nope."
"That's good. In fact...... I've talked to them several times, and now my dad is starting to use the company to suppress me again, and I need some time to deal with it, so it's a real headache anyway...... However, there are certain things that they are right, I am indeed a little younger now, so we might as well wait a little longer, after all, we have only been together for too short...... Maybe in a few years they will agree to us. ”
"How many years do you want me to wait for you?" Guan Yunyun still asked him with the same smile just now.
"Three years...... Maybe four years...... Xiaoyun, marriage is not the point, the important thing is that the two of us are happy together, isn't it? ”
When you ask this sentence, you already have the answer in mind. In that case, what's the point of asking me this? ”
"Of course it makes sense, I hope you can agree with my thoughts too, I hope you understand, Xiaoyun."
"Then why did you promise my dad to marry me in the first place? And why are you proposing to me? ”
"I want to be with you! I don't want to hurt your family and I don't want to hurt you, I know you want some proof, so I'm proving it to you. That ring is the affection I proved to you, and although we may have to drag on our wedding day, I really wanted to marry you......"
Guan Yunyun's smile began to be a little bitter, she looked at Xu Yunfeng's slightly frowning brows, anxious eyes, the firm tip of her nose breathing heavily, and the rare slanted and drooping contours of the corners of her mouth - "I understand, I really understand." She said. Then, Xiaoyun stood up and walked to the kitchen with borscht and boiled beef: "I'll go to hot dishes." ”
It took seven or eight minutes to heat up the meal, Guan Yunyun put them back one by one, and then lit all kinds of incense candles on the dining table, on the coffee table in the living room, on the TV cabinet, on the shelf and other corners of the room, and there were about twenty or thirty candles in detail, and all the candle stocks at home were used up at once.
When she turned off all the lights in the house, Xu Yunfeng couldn't help but ask, "What is this?" ”
"Shh......h Don't talk. Guan Yunyun put his index finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture: "Don't break the atmosphere that you have created with great difficulty, dear ......"
Xu Yunfeng listened to her this time, let the faint warm light from the slight fire surround the two of them, and completed the candlelight dinner almost without a word.
After dinner, the two watched an old film "The Shawshank Redemption", admiring how meticulous and appropriate Tim and Morgan's performances were, and then spent the rest of the night with passionate kisses and hugs until dawn......
"I love you, Xiaoyun, I love you......" After the passion, Xu Yunfeng whispered a few words in Xiaoyun's ear, and immediately fell asleep.
Guan Yunyun didn't respond, under the candlelight, Xu Yunfeng's soft side face gradually blurred, and two lines of clear tears fell on the pillow unconsciously.
Men always say I love you in bed, while women always shed tears of sadness in bed. The world has long understood this pathos and acted out this scene, how can God care who lies and tears in this apartment tonight......
When the first rays of morning light at dawn penetrated through the gaps between the curtains and sprinkled on the tear-soaked pillow, Guan Yunyun, who had been sleepless all night, finally made up his mind at this moment.
