9. Chapter IX
!
After returning home from the venue that day, Huo Hui had a serious illness.
First sneezing, runny nose, then fever, followed by a violent cough. At night, she lay on the bed and coughed so earth-shattering that her face turned red.
After coughing, she touched her face, touched her forehead, and excitedly took out her mobile phone to ask Yan Jin for leave.
After more than ten minutes, Yan Jin replied to the message. "Why are you sick?"
Huo Hui was lying on the bed, her cheeks were red from fever, and she also wondered, why was she sick.
After waiting for a few minutes, Yan Jin's text message replied again, and he asked, "Is it really very sick?" ”
Huo Hui replied: "Very strict." ”
She was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so she took a temperature indication and counted it to him, Yan Jin ran on the treadmill at home, clicked on the picture, he slowly lowered his speed, and replied a few words.
"Then have a good rest, and I'll let the club arrange for another person to come over."
Huo Hui thanked him and continued to sleep under the covers.
Looking at Huo Hui's avatar in the dialog box, Yan Jin turned off his mobile phone, and then increased his speed and ran.
It seems that she is also a smart person.
The editor-in-chief arranged for her to follow her to the meeting, which has caused many people to be dissatisfied, which not only set up a lot of enemies for herself in her work, but also inevitably rumors in the future, but she went, and she could not continue to participate the next day for some reason.
After raising it at home for a few days, when Huo Hui returned to work in the society, Lao Du saw her in the corridor and shook his head regretfully, you, you, it's really not the right time to be sick.
Huo Hui blocked his nose with a tissue, and smiled angrily at Lao Du.
Thank you for your love, but my body is not angry, and I can't let me affect the image of our newspaper with germs.
When Lao Du heard this, he still shook his head, muttering in his mouth, it's a pity, it's a pity, in the end, Huo Hui doesn't know what he pity.
A trainee reporter, he deals with a lot of trivial matters every day, proofreading manuscripts, topic selection, typesetting, discussion boards, and even the unfinished manuscripts written by the deputy team leader also have to be ghostwritten by Huo Hui, Huo Hui is busy and can't lift his head, and occasionally needs to go to other groups to deliver things, her figure passes by the team leader's office, Yan Jin will also stop and look at her silently for a while.
After more than a week of observation, Yan Jin felt that in fact, Huo Hui was not what he imagined.
For example, she is a very polite person and has a very good sense of superiority and inferiority.
That day, he thought that she was deliberately slipping the door for Lao Du in the editor-in-chief's office, and after a long time, Yan Jin found out that she was like this to everyone, and the meeting was always the one who stood at the door and waited for everyone to finish before she closed the door, occasionally taking a break in the pantry, if an old man from the newspaper came in, she would definitely let the other party go first, and she would wait for a while before playing.
For example, she is very tutored, she never talks about others behind her back or participates in the gossip in the society, she is also very indifferent, and she is not in a hurry to clarify or justify her gossip, she does not please anyone, and she never wrongs herself.
Lunch dinner, everyone gathered together to chat, the first few days everyone was inevitably xenophobic, no one sat with her, she took the plate and sat alone in the corner of the window to eat quietly, not playing with mobile phones, not talking and laughing, after eating, pick up the plate and put it in the scrubbing room and leave, the place where she left was clean.
At first, some people said that she was arrogant, pretending to be high, and she was tense with the big guys, and she didn't know what she was like in private.
Some male colleagues couldn't listen to it, looking at the young girls in the group who had to take a selfie after drinking a cup of Starbucks and sighed, you, it's the opposite sex that repels each other, and Huo Hui is called deep hidden, her habits, if it weren't for years of cultivation, she wouldn't have been able to do it at all.
After saying that, everyone dispersed, but when it was time to eat at noon the next day, there were fewer people in the cafeteria who took advantage of the lunch break to talk and laugh loudly regardless of the occasion, and there were obviously more people who took the initiative to clean up the dinner plate and send it to the washing room.
While they were saying vicious things about Huo Hui, they were secretly jealous of her in their hearts and imitated her.
But Huo Hui was completely unaware of this qiē undercurrent.
She has been suffering from a bad cold for a long time, and she has not been able to get better for a week, and her most common appearance every day is a red and swollen nose, holding a stack of paper in her arms, and wiping her nose in the corridor in pain.
When I was about to get off work that day, I had a women's toilet on the first floor.
There were a few female colleagues who were going out on a date with friends in the bathroom to touch up their makeup and change clothes, and two people standing side by side at the washstand, one from the current affairs group and the other from the life group, met and said hello, and began to apply lipstick and foundation in the mirror.
"Hey, have you been gossiping in the group lately, in exchange for listening."
The one took the lipstick and applied it seriously: "What gossip can there be, life group, whose family lost the cat, whose family is on fire, trivial." ”
"Have you Mr. Yan talked about a girlfriend recently?"
"I really haven't heard of it, but he seems to be in a good mood lately, he laughs when he sees people, sends the manuscript up, and doesn't go back, and he corrects many small mistakes himself."
The hand that applied the foundation paused, and then sneered: "Hmph, don't look at anyone's manuscript, I heard that a lot of late-stage work is being done by your newcomer Huo Hui, Mr. Yan's vision is high, and the little girl was seduced by the uneven guarantee." ”
"Huo Hui...... I feel that she is okay, not as proud as you say, although she doesn't like to talk much, and she doesn't have a temper, don't say it so badly. ”
"You know what! The more talkative people seem to be, the deeper they are hidden, do you know what everyone has been spreading lately? ”
The lipstick put on a blank face: "What? ”
The one who applied the foundation became excited: "I heard that Huo Hui is not small, and her Taoism is deep, on the day she attended the meeting with our team leader, Bi Tong watched her go with a soldier during the lunch break, it seems that the official is not small, think about it, who are the officers who can participate in that kind of meeting!" The two of them got into the armed car together, stayed for more than 20 minutes before coming down, and when they came down, they were reluctant to stand outside the window to say goodbye. ”
"You say...... What did you do in the car for more than 20 minutes? ”
There was a heartfelt silence.
The one who applied lipstick was shocked: "So coquettish? ”
"Hmph, I guess this is one of them, otherwise why did Lao Zhao insist on sending it to her so much? Why did Lao Du order this name and let her go? Where do you think all her name tags and cars come from? There are many waiting masters! Broken shoes one! ”
While the two were talking, the door inside was suddenly kicked open with a foot.
Tao Beibei stood in the door, her face flushed with anger, she was carrying a bag on her shoulder, pinching her waist and scolding the two of them.
"Do you dare to repeat what you just said!!"
This sudden voice frightened the two of them, and they thought they had met Huo Hui.
Seeing that it wasn't her, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and stared at Tao Beibei with a frown: "Who are you?" ”
Tao Beibei wore Dior's small skirt and stood on the steps, her words were round, and her voice was like a bell: "I am your aunt and grandmother!! ”
She originally wanted to pick up Huo Hui from work, but she waited in the car for a while and was a little urgent, but she didn't expect to let her hear it as soon as she got into the toilet.
Tao Beibei is an authentic Beijing girl, she speaks badly and crisply, she jumped down the steps with a rub, and the zipper of her skirt didn't have time to be fastened.
"Looking at people and dogs, how can they chew the root of other people's tongues behind their backs? Didn't your mother teach you not to speak ill of people casually? Do you know people, you? What are the broken shoes, look at your dress like a day outside to serve eight masters! ”
The two of them were choked, and they were also angered by Tao Beibei: "Does it have anything to do with you?" You are polite when you eavesdrop on others, what does Huo Hui have to do with you, helping her so much? ”
"Whew!"
Tao Beibei was angry, and she had to reason with the two of them when she went up.
As soon as Huo Hui came out of the elevator, he heard the sound of a quarrel in the corner bathroom, the voice was not small, and the echo was very loud in the empty lobby, and even attracted the attention of the front desk and security guards.
Broken!!!
Sure enough, she pushed open the door of the bathroom, Tao Beibei was arguing with others, her bag was thrown away, and a shoe was dropped, Huo Hui hurriedly shouted at her.
"Beibei!"
"What are you doing!"
After shouting, all the servants stopped, Tao Beibei's big watery eyes looked at Huo Hui, and shouted to her aggrievedly: "Sister Huo Hui!" ”
Huo Hui walked in, stood in front of Tao Beibei, stared at the two colleagues, although he said kindly, his eyes were cold.
"Why are you still moving?"
Her cold expression was exactly the same as Shen Siliang! Especially the inviolable arrogance, the pair of protective and domineering eyes!
The two men did not speak, but looked at each other, and neither of them said a word.
Huo Hui looked at them for a few seconds, and suddenly smiled, that smile was really ironic.
She said: "Cheng, don't say it, then it shouldn't be a big deal, this is my sister, young, I apologize to you for her, no matter what she says or does, don't mind." ”
The words are all said and done, and if you spend it any longer, you will be looking for trouble for yourself, the two of them glanced at Huo Hui tightly, and quickly pushed the door and left.
When they were far away, Huo Hui turned around and pulled Tao Beibei to him, and went to pick up the bag she threw on the ground.
Tao Beibei reluctantly: "They say bad things about you!" How can it be just that! ”
"Say it."
Huo Hui didn't care, she zipped up her skirt again, and combed her hair: "Why can you quarrel with others anywhere, and you won't call me when you come?" ”
Tao Beibei was unwilling, and stomped her feet hatefully: "Hey! They say in private that you are being taken up/raised! I'm standing up for you!! ”
"If a dog bites you, you have to bite back to get rid of your hatred? I like to say whatever I want, and I don't miss a piece of meat. ”
Tao Beibei was panicked in her heart, completely frustrated, wrinkled her face, and muttered in her mouth: "It's getting more and more similar." ”
Huo Hui knocked on her head: "What are you muttering?" ”
Tao Beibei remembered something, and immediately became energetic: "Sister Huo Hui, did you see Brother Si Liang that day?" ”
Huo Hui was stunned for a few seconds when he heard this, then leaned on the sink, and did not hide it: "See, he and Liu Weijiang went to a meeting together." ”
"That'...... Spoken? Tao Beibei asked cautiously.
"Got it." Huo Hui blinked, turned to look at himself in the mirror, the person in the mirror was wearing light makeup and a gray skirt, beautiful as smoke.
It's the red nose that's a little bit of an eyesore.
Huo Hui sighed sadly: "It's a pity that he doesn't care about me." ”
I begged him, but he didn't pay any attention to me.
She was outside the window and said, "Please, okay," and then he was silent for a few seconds, raised the window, and drove the car a long distance forward to make room for her, but he didn't even look at her.
Tao Beibei didn't know how to comfort her, so she took out two boxes of medicine from her bag, and said, "Sister Huo Hui, I didn't come today to cause trouble, I heard you talk to you on WeChat, I had a little cold, so I bought you two boxes of medicine and sent them over...... Don't be angry. ”
Huo Hui took it, her heart was warm and moved, she touched Tao Beibei's bangs: "Let's go, I invite you to have a delicious meal in the evening." ”
Tao Beibei nodded, excited: "Shall we buy crayfish and eat them at home?" There is a women's volleyball final tonight, get two more barrels of beer! ”
Tao Beibei has been the main player of the city's volleyball team before college, and later withdrew due to injury.
Huo Hui happily agreed to her, and the two of them walked out affectionately holding their arms together, and after taking two steps, Tao Beibei patted her head and walked back.
Huo Hui nervously grabbed her: "What are you doing?" ”
Tao Beibei shook her hand with a look of disgust: "I was in a hurry to go to the toilet just now, and I haven't washed my hands yet!! ”
