On the way to the company the next day, Lin Zhao remembered what happened to Wang Lu last night.
He was still not sure if Wang Lu had seen his intimate movements with Qin Muyang, it stands to reason that the lights were so dim, and Wang Lu was walking in such a hurry, he shouldn't be able to see it.
But after the two staggered, the glance that Wang Lu looked back at made Lin Zhao particularly concerned.
Lin Zhao did not deliberately conceal his relationship with Qin Muyang, but he definitely did not want his relationship with Qin Muyang to become someone else's after-dinner conversation.
A company is not like a school, and a school will not easily expel a student for various reasons, but a company is different. Once someone affects the company's reputation, even if that person is not wrong, the company is very likely to fire the person with a single sentence.
Moreover, people's words are terrifying, even if the company does not fire Lin Zhao, Lin Zhao will not be able to work under the guidance of others.
After arriving at the company, I don't know if it's a psychological reason, Lin Zhao always feels that the people in the company are secretly discussing something.
His first reaction was that his homosexuality had been exposed, but after closer inspection, he realized that it was not him who was discussing the point.
Walking into the office with doubts, as soon as Lin Zhao sat down, Guo Ting came over mysteriously: "What do you think about the fact that Manager Xiao and Gu are always a pair?" ”
Lin Zhao was shocked, but he didn't show it on his face, and asked pretending to be puzzled: "What kind of pair do you say?" ”
"Manager Xiao and Gu are always a pair, you didn't look at Q|Q group? ”
The company has an employee-built Q|Q group, many people are in it.
When there are more people, there is naturally more news. Lin Zhao received the news for two days and found that this was a group of people from the company chatting, so he blocked the news.
Lin Zhao took out his mobile phone and wanted to flip through the message records. Guo Ting didn't wait for him to unlock his phone, so he said to himself: "Someone anonymously posted a photo yesterday, which is a photo of Manager Xiao and Mr. Gu kissing." ”
After she said this, Lin Zhao remembered: When I met Wang Lu yesterday, Xiao Wenxuan and Gu Yuan were also at the scene.
It is very likely that Wang Lu did not recognize Lin Zhaolai, but he saw Xiao Wenxuan and Gu Yuan. At that time, when he looked back, he was also looking at Xiao Wenxuan and Gu Yuan.
Xiao Wenxuan and Gu Yuan are far more high-profile than Lin Zhao and Qin Muyang in love, and it is not impossible that Wang Lu will take photos of them kissing.
But even so, Lin Zhao still said with a hint of luck: "How is it possible, you must have seen it wrong." ”
"Manager Xiao and Mr. Gu are so handsome, how can I admit my mistake!" Guo Ting was not convinced, flipped out her saved photos, and handed the mobile phone to Lin Zhao, "Look, this is Manager Xiao and Mr. Gu." ”
Under the light of fireworks, the photo was taken clearly. Gu Yuan and Xiao Wenxuan hugged each other and kissed very devotedly.
Now Lin Zhao has no choice but to deceive himself, he looked at the photo, and his heart was in chaos: The matter is so big, what should Xiao Wenxuan do?
In his thoughts, Xiao Wenxuan came in with a briefcase.
The chattering office was instantly quiet, and everyone lowered their heads and stared at what was in front of them, as if it was some important document.
After Xiao Wenxuan walked by, they raised their heads again and secretly observed the protagonist of the gossip.
Xiao Wenxuan didn't seem to notice these sights, took two documents from the assistant, and entered the office with a comfortable expression.
As soon as the door to the manager's office closed, the office remembered the buzzing discussion. Everyone looked at the manager's office with shock, contempt, gossip, and Guo Ting's unique excitement!
Lin Zhao responded to Guo Ting without a match, but his mind was all on Xiao Wenxuan.
Xiao Wenxuan looked fine, but it was just looking. There were already people in the company who were dissatisfied with his airborne, and as soon as this incident came out, Lin Zhao could guess what others would say about him in private.
It's nothing more than going through the back door and selling your body in order to climb up.
After sitting for half an hour, Lin Zhao really couldn't sit still. He pushed open the door of the manager's office under the pretext of sending the materials.
Countless lines of sight followed him, and Lin Zhao entered the office and quickly closed the door, blocking the view of voyeurs outside the door.
It is reasonable that he doesn't want anyone to see Xiao Wenxuan's embarrassed side.
The "embarrassed" Xiao Wenxuan was sitting in an office chair, his fingers constantly tapping on the keyboard. Sensing that someone was coming in, he didn't even raise his head: "Wait for me." ”
Lin Zhao sat down on the side, trying to see something from Xiao Wenxuan's face. But no, nothing, no anxiety, no anxiety, Xiao Wenxuan leaned back in his chair, his expression was pleasant, and he couldn't look better.
The background music that Lin Zhao was familiar with came out of the computer, it was the "Ancient Legend" that was hot during this time - Xiao Wenxuan was actually playing a game.
Finally waited for Xiao Wenxuan to finish the game, and the comforting words that Lin Zhao had prepared had already rolled in his heart a few times, and he didn't know how to say it.
Xiao Wenxuan knocked on the table and called Lin Zhao back from the fugue: "What's the matter?" ”
Lin Zhao pondered for a while and asked cautiously, "Are you okay?" ”
"I ask you what's the matter! What can I do......" Xiao Wenxuan seemed to remember something, and laughed, "You mean the photo?" ”
Lin Zhao nodded.
Xiao Wenxuan didn't care and said: "Isn't it just a photo of kissing the mouth, it's not a nude photo, it's not a big deal." ”
Lin Zhao said: "But what they said...... Don't you care? ”
"What's there to care about," Xiao Wenxuan took out a cigarette and lit it, his expression was very disdainful, "Some people, their work can't compare to me, so they can only rely on chewing their tongues behind their backs to seek psychological balance." But what's the use, they just chew up the root of their tongue, and I am better than them, and I live happily than them. ”
Lin Zhaoyuan was not as indifferent as Xiao Wenxuan: "But, aren't you afraid that the company will know about this?" ”
"What if the company knows? Fire me? Xiao Wenxuan took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke ring, "Xiao Zhaozhao, you are still too young." Any boss who can make the company big will not fire an excellent employee at will because of a little chasing after the wind. If the company really fired me because of my sexuality, it can only mean that I don't know people clearly, I follow the wrong leader, and I have nothing to regret about being fired. ”
Lin Zhao didn't speak, and Xiao Wenxuan continued: "The company pursues efficiency, and what is important is your ability rather than your gossip. Look at the people outside, no matter how ugly they speak, does it affect me in the slightest? No matter how much they can't get used to me and hate me, what can they do to me? They couldn't even resign, and in order to beg for a bite to eat, they had to work with the 'dirty people' they said and obey the dispatch of me, the 'dirty people'. No matter how you look at it, they're the ones who get disgusted, so what do I have to care about? ”
Lin Zhao was silent, thoughtful.
"It's said that people's words are terrible, but as long as you have enough ability, you can build yourself into an invulnerable body." Xiao Wenxuan extinguished the cigarette and reopened the game, "Okay, go out if it's okay, don't disturb me to play the game." ”
Coming out of Xiao Wenxuan's office, Lin Zhao suddenly became stunned. He has always been worried that his sexuality will be discovered by others, he is afraid that others will point fingers at him and his family, and he is afraid that he will become a "pervert" in other people's mouths.
But if you think about it, what impact can others say about other people's things have on him? What if the neighbors find out? Can you still let him move away? What if colleagues in the company find out? Can you still fire him?
At worst, if the neighbors were really so bored and kept squeezing him, he could still move. With his current income, renting a good house in the city center is not a problem.
As for work, that's not a problem. If he was really fired, he would look for a job again. With his abilities and academic qualifications, this is not a problem at all. It's really not good, it's a big deal for him to start his own business like Qin Muyang. Being his own boss, who would dare to make irresponsible remarks in front of him?
After thinking about it for a morning, Lin Zhao finally came to the conclusion: If you want to become invulnerable, first, you must have the ability, second, you must have money, and third, you must have the ability to make money!
After figuring out this layer, Lin Zhao worked harder. There was even a time when his hard work drove the whole office around. Everyone saw that he was working so seriously, and they thought that the big boss was coming to inspect!
Of course, that's another story.
Now, there is another thing in front of Lin Zhao's eyes: Liu Weiwei and Jiang Yucheng are getting married.
As friends of Liu Weiwei and Jiang Yucheng, Lin Zhao and Qin Muyang joined their groomsmen without hesitation.
On the day of the wedding, Qin Muyang amazed the audience in a suit. Many parents with school-age daughters in the family are looking for his information and want to explore the way for their daughters. However, they were all ruthlessly told: "He already has a girlfriend." ”
There are also parents who don't give up, and say haha: "It's a girlfriend and not a wife, young people, or let them have more contact." ”
Liu Weiwei took Lin Zhao's hand and said seriously: "Did you see it?" How popular Qin Muyang is. You'd better get things done earlier, or what if he was pried away? ”
Lin Zhao made a bitter face and said, "I want to do it, but the key is that my country's laws don't allow it!" ”
Having said that, Lin Zhao was not at all worried that Qin Muyang would be pried away. After walking together for so many years, the two of them have long entered the mode of an old husband and wife. Jealousy or something is just a pleasure for them, which only promotes feelings, but does not hurt feelings.
If he could, Lin Zhao also wanted to have a marriage letter with Qin Muyang. Not to reassure himself, but so that when Qin Muyang has something to do in the future, he can sign and make decisions for him as a family member.
But the law doesn't allow it, so he can only think about it.
After a while, Lin Junguo and Zhao Shurong came. They came with Qin Muyang's parents, and after paying the gift money, the four of them went to the guest seat and sat down.
Lin Zhao glanced at Liu Weiwei's mother, Wang He, and was a little worried that she would find Lin Junguo's stubble. After all, this is a wedding scene, and no one looks good with a cold face.
However, what he didn't expect was that Wang He didn't look for Lin Junguo's stubble. Not only did she find fault, but she also smiled at Lin Junguo. Although the smile was a little stiff, it was still surprising compared to the vicious words she had used to talk about.
Liu Weiwei stood next to her and suddenly said, "Actually, my mother has always felt guilty. ”
Lin Zhao was puzzled: "Huh? ”
Liu Weiwei said: "What happened back then, it was she who did it wrong. Her stinky temper can't say soft words, today, let me say a word for her: I'm sorry. This 'I'm sorry' is not asking for your forgiveness, and I don't have the face to ask for your forgiveness. It's just that if you do something wrong, you should admit your mistake and make up for it, instead of blindly avoiding it. ”
Lin Zhao looked at the serious girl in front of him, and felt a little distressed: "That's their adult's grudge, what are you talking about." Besides, my dad has put it down, what do you still remember. Remember everything that is not good, aren't you tired? You keep calling me stupid, I think you're the stupidest. ”
Liu Weiwei's nose was pantothenic, but she wanted to stare at me fiercely: "Dare to call me stupid, Lin Xiaozhao, have you eaten for a long time?" ”
Back then, Lin Zhao's mother and Liu Weiwei's father secretly Chen Cang, colluded with each other, ransacked the house, and eloped together.
is also a victim, Wang He put all the responsibility on Lin Junguo. She forced Lin Junguo to take 50,000 yuan in compensation, but Lin Junguo couldn't get it, so she went to his unit to make trouble.
The leaders of the unit were unbearable, took 10,000 yuan, and sent Wang He away, and also "sent" Lin Junguo away.
didn't get enough money, Wang He pestered Lin Junguo and didn't let go. Wherever Lin Junguo went, she made trouble, making the Lin family uneasy.
Later, how did things work out?
By the way, it's Liu Weiwei. She was only eight years old and put a knife on her neck and threatened Wang He, saying that she would make trouble to show her death again.
Wang He was naturally not threatened, and scolded Liu Weiwei for being a money-loser, turning her elbow outward, and shouting at her to get out of her way, don't get in the way of her own business.
Then she was stupid by the blood beads that came out of Liu Weiwei's neck, and she was also stupid, as well as Lin Zhao who was standing aside.
Lin Zhao's views on Wang He have always been very complicated, and he can't distinguish between white and black.
Emotionally, he hated her. Back then, she forced Lin Junguo like that, and the Lin family couldn't even open the pot.
But rationally speaking, she is not bad to Liu Weiwei. Good here means that life is good, no matter how she is, at least she has not treated Liu Weiwei badly in life, including asking Lin Junguo for money back then, she also wanted Liu Weiwei to study.
But to say that she is a good mother, Liu Weiwei has suffered too much from her.
Wang He always likes to say hurtful things, whether intentionally or unintentionally, her words have caused indelible damage to Liu Weiwei.
It can be said that she did not treat Liu Weiwei badly in life, but psychologically, she hurt Liu Weiwei a lot.
But she is Liu Weiwei's mother, who gave birth to her and raised her mother. Maybe it's her wrong way, maybe it's her bad character, but in the final analysis, she at least loves Liu Weiwei.
So Liu Weiwei can be dissatisfied and complain, but she can't ignore her and deny her.
Later, Lin Zhao thought that a large part of the reason why he couldn't hate Wang He might be because of Liu Weiwei. If he hates Wang He, Liu Weiwei, who is caught in the middle, will be embarrassed. And he doesn't want to see this girl who has suffered too much since she was a child in a dilemma.
Fortunately, everything has passed, and under the wash of time, those loves and hates are no longer important.
They have all grown up and become strong, and no one can hurt them easily anymore.
For them, what is more important is the present, the future.
