After sending Chen Yi a message inviting us to dinner, I didn't leave the company immediately, I went to the External Relations Department to exchange about my recent work, and it wasn't until it was dark that Chen Yi replied to my message: "I have a program to record tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to have dinner, so you can quickly tell me what the good news is." ”

"It's okay, I'll talk about it when you get off the show, no matter how late you wait."

"Okay, it may be after ten o'clock, I'll go to Tulip Road to find you after the show, just to go back to the old house to get something."

"What do you want to eat, I'll buy it after work when I get back to work."

"Chestnut porridge, I haven't looked good lately."

I sent Chen Yi a no problem expression, but I felt very sorry for her in my heart, because her work was too tired, and it was very irregular, her glamorous beauty was just presented in the eyes of the audience, take off her makeup, in fact, she is also a woman who doesn't have much life to enjoy, she shouldn't be like this, so she has been looking forward to marrying a man who can get her out of this tired life, I know this.

After getting off work, I went to the supermarket to buy chestnuts and japonica rice, and then returned to my residence, but I was taken aback by the scene in front of me, only to see Qiao Ye and his wife Qin Miao standing on the roof, and the other standing in the small courtyard facing each other.

Qin Miao waved the leather bag in his hand and said angrily: "Qiao Ye, if you are a man, you will give it to me." ”

"If you let me go down, I'll go down, I just like to look at you so condescendingly."

"Why are you so stinky?"

"Qin Miao, you speak to me with a little respect, I stinky and shameless is also for you to force, if you don't come to me, can I climb on the roof, do you really think the scenery here is better or the air is better" Qiao Ye said while putting the bamboo ladder up, for fear that Qin Miao's temper would come up and climb up the ladder to reason with him.

Qin Miao poured his anger on me, tearing me apart, and said angrily: "Jiang Qiao, Qiao Ye is a bastard, you are also a bastard, why did you take him in and let him be so angry with me"

"Jiangqiao, he took me in, because we are class brothers, you are a shrew at home, why are you so awesome and coaxing in Jiangqiao's family?"

I had the heart to reconcile for them, so I said: "Qiao Ye, you can't talk like that, if Qin Miao wasn't your wife, she would be able to find you everywhere, you hurry down, if you have something to say, others don't know and think that you are going to cultivate some kind of flying immortals on the roof of our house."

Qiao Ye pointed at Qin Miao and said: "Listen to it, you are so kind to Ren Jiangqiao, Ren Jiangqiao also helps you speak, don't you feel ashamed, don't really think that the whole world has to revolve around you Qin Miao, I tell you, it doesn't make sense."

"You two bastards are not good things, don't sing and Qiao Ye in front of me, you don't come down, okay, then I'll just sit here today and don't leave, if you have the ability, you will stay on this roof all night"

"You sit, you sit to death, just let me condescend to see enough"

"You don't look like a man"

"You think you look like a woman"

Qin Miao really came into the house and moved my recliner out, and then sat on the recliner and confronted Qiao Ye who had no fear, I persuaded to no avail, so I had to fully hand over the battlefield to these two couples, and then walked in the alley a little bored

The "Mood Coffee Shop" was still very quiet, and it happened that the proprietress Yu Ya was sitting inside, which gave me a little surprise, it turned out that she had not left Nanjing, I pushed open the door and walked in.

I greeted Yu Ya, she put down the magazine she was reading, smiled at me, and said, "Let me guess how you feel right now." ”

"Don't guess, I'm almost writing the word depression on my face"

"What's wrong?"

"Let a particularly capable couple make trouble, I want to tell you, you can't believe it, at this moment the two of them are standing on the roof of the house, and the other is sitting below, and neither of them will give in."

"And here's the thing"

"Isn't there one, or will I take you to a long experience?"

Yu Ya shook her head and smiled and replied: "Forget it, it's better that this kind of insight doesn't last long."

"Then come and talk to me for a while."

"Not today, I have to go to the airport soon, and I booked a ticket to Kunming at 7:35 p.m."

I was a little disappointed, but after all, this was something that could not be forced, so I asked her again: "When do you plan to go back to Nanjing next time?"

"It won't come in the near future, we have to wait until the business in Lijiang enters the off-season."

I nodded, and Yu Ya said again, "I'll make you a cup of mood coffee before leaving." ”

"I can't ask for it"

Mood coffee really seems to have a kind of magic, this time I drank a sense of hurry, and Yu Ya did leave in a hurry after mixing coffee for me, this time she came to the "mood coffee shop" just to take stock of the recent accounts, and the next time I see her may be after November.

Time passed little by little, I finally saw Qin Miao passing by the mood coffee shop, it seemed that she was still defeated in the confrontation with Qiao Ye, I looked at the time, it was already half past nine in the evening, or it wouldn't be long before Chen Yi would be off the show, I hurriedly returned to my residence, ready to cook chestnut japonica rice porridge for her first.

As soon as the porridge was cooked, Qiao Ye filled a bowl for himself first, and then said to me indignantly while eating: "Jiang Qiao, you also saw it today, she Qin Miao is really not ordinary."

"You're not bad enough to come up with such a brilliant idea as climbing onto the roof."

"No way, my alertness is cultivated in the long-term struggle with her, and I want to tell you from the heart, my sense of oppression is really getting heavier and heavier now, and I have to do something of my own to fill the hole in my heart"

"Good job."

Qiao Ye leaned in front of me and said, "Jiangqiao, why don't we work together, you pay for it and I will contribute, let's build a small love hotel in Nanjing as a pilot first, and then promote it according to my ideas, what do you think?"

"It's not good, if your father gets you back to take over halfway, all the money I invested will be wasted."

"Whoever the goes back to pick up his shift, who's the grandson"

I motioned Qiao Ye to look behind him, and then replied: "If you don't go back to take over, let's not talk about it first, you look at the miserable situation of my family, can I have spare money to lend you a career?"

"You've been working for so many years, haven't you saved any money?"

I asked rhetorically: "You have been a son for so many years, how much money have you saved?"

After eating supper, Qiao Ye left my residence, saying that he was going to borrow a start-up capital from his friend, I estimated that he was three minutes hot, and he was always unwilling to pay attention to his so-called business plan, and what he was waiting for was Chen Yi, who had not yet arrived.

When it was almost half past 10, Chen Yi finally came to my small courtyard, although the makeup on her face had not been removed, but she still couldn't cover her tiredness, I hurriedly moved a chair for her, but she was not in a hurry to sit down, and asked me with a smile: "Do you have any good news to tell me?"

I handed her the chestnut porridge and said, "You eat supper first, and I'll talk to you later." ”

Chen Yi put down her handbag, and then took the porridge from my hand, and when she was almost halfway through it, I finally said to her: "Today, our boss lady talked to me, she and Lao Jin are determined to reorganize the company, right, do you still have an image of Jin Qiu?"

"Yes, isn't she Boss Jin's daughter, I heard that she has been studying abroad for several years."

"Well, Lao Jin and Luo Sumei both plan to wait for her to come back and let her take over the company, and then I will manage the planning department and the engineering department, which should be good news," I said and looked at Chen Yi with a smile.

Chen Yi put down the chopsticks in her hand, and after a little silence, she said to me: "I have a few questions, first of all, let you manage these two departments, it is the meaning of Boss Jin and Luo Sumei, when Jin Qiu comes back, can she approve this decision If she wants to take the high-end route and enable high-end talents, what should you do then?"

I was immediately stunned by Chen Yi's question, and only replied after a while: "But I have experience, and besides, my personal relationship with Jin Qiu is still good, we should have a more tacit understanding at work, anyway, I am very confident in myself and Jin Qiu."

Chen Yi sighed softly, and then said: "Okay, even if I am too worried about this point, I still want to ask, when Luo Sumei talked to you about managing these two departments, did you talk to you about salary, it stands to reason that you should have a salary increase?"

"I haven't talked about this yet."

"Why don't you talk about it in detail, you must know that work and personal feelings cannot be mixed, but you always can't do this, I am most afraid that you will suffer at this point one day"

"It's impossible for the old Jin couple to make me suffer, if I don't have any trust in them, I won't be in their company for 6 years."

Chen Yi wanted to speak and stopped, but I had already seen her thoughts, and asked her with some displeasure: "Why do I always feel that your recent changes are a bit big, you wouldn't care about my work like this before, and I think you will be happy for me to hear this news, but now you are pouring cold water on me, I really don't know what you think." ”

"Jiang Qiao, why do you have to stay in Lao Jin's company Even if you are promoted and raised, you are under great pressure to live in this city. I really hope you can take a long-term view, think about it yourself, Ma Xiao in our alley, when he got married, he had parents who could help him buy a house and a car, but you must have a higher goal, otherwise when you suddenly face marriage one day, you will be caught off guard and work harder and harder, because what you have now is far from enough, and an ordinary salary income cannot support your life without others to help you at all. ”

After a long silence, I finally replied: "I really don't like to talk to you about these topics, because every time we talk, either you are angry or I am angry, can't we just say simple things, do simple things, meet happily, part happily, and then forget these damn things, I can't change them at all."

"But Jiang Qiao, age will force people to grow up, and I don't want to say this, and I don't want to become depressed every time I see you go to the nursing home to see your grandmother, and I don't want you to live in such a mess."

"Why am I in a mess, haven't I worked hard all these years?"

"To be content with the status quo is to be a mess"

I suddenly felt that Chen Yi didn't understand me too much, and I didn't understand my thoughts, I was a little angry, and I was even more disappointed, and finally said to her: "I don't know what the reason is during this time, there are always so many unpredictable contradictions between us, but I really don't want to quarrel with you, if you still insist on changing the trajectory of my life like now, and then make everyone very unhappy, then we should not meet." ”

Chen Yi's face became ugly, there were faint tears rolling in her eyes, and she choked up and asked me: "Jiang Qiao, you always question me, but have you really calmed down and thought, why did I change the trajectory of your career so much?"
