Chapter 3: Don't want the face first
Back at my accommodation, I cooked a bowl of instant noodles for dinner, and then lay in bed looking for the TV program I wanted to watch.
casually dialed a station, which happened to be a variety show hosted by Chen Yi, in which she was playing a game of "time and space travel" with another male host and a few stars in Hangzhou.
She played very high, and she did a great job of guiding the variety show sense of several stars, and the show effect was very good, but it was difficult for me to connect Chen Yi on TV with Chen Yi I had just seen in the alley, but she was like this, she was a witty host who never went cold in the show, but in reality, once she fell into a cold war with me, she really treated me as a stranger and wouldn't say a word.
Of course, I don't coax it, and I keep the cold war on the big deal.
……
The next morning, I lay in bed and didn't want to get up or go to the office because I couldn't answer to Lao Jin.
After grinding on the bed for a while, I finally got up, took out a bag of rice balls from the refrigerator and cooked it, then sat on the steps of the small courtyard with a bowl in my hand and ate, my door is the only way for Chen Yi to go to work, if I am not mistaken, there will be ten minutes for her to carry her handbag and walk past my house with the car keys.
The glutinous rice balls in the bowl have been soaked a little bit, I finally heard the familiar sound of high heels stepping on the bluestone slab in the morning sun, one beat per second, there will be almost no error, raised my head and looked, and sure enough, I saw Chen Yi walking from the end of the alley, today she changed into a pink and white A-line dress, her hair was combed very neatly, and a black and white Chanel shoulder bag set off her whole temperament just right, and she can almost no longer dress up, she can do live broadcasts directly.
I hurriedly turned my back to her, but my body was rubbing against the wall in a hurry, and the weathered dust stained my shirt and drifted into my bowl, and in order to make the morning look natural, without the slightest deliberate ingredient, I casually picked the rice balls out of the bowl with a spoon and put them in my mouth.
The next moment, Chen Yi walked past me, and just like last night, she turned sideways to avoid the vendor who was coming from the opposite side, and without looking at me, she walked towards the entrance of the alley.
"Cut ......! I glanced at Chen Yi's back, then got up and poured the rice balls in the bowl into the trash, and the next moment I went home and tied my tie, but I suddenly didn't want to go to the company.
Just when I was thinking about whether to take a sick leave, there was a knock on the courtyard door, I looked through the crack in the door, and found that it was Luo Sumei from the company's finance department, who was actually Lao Jin's wife, and the wedding company I worked for could be regarded as a husband and wife between the two of them.
I opened the door, sniffed, and asked, "Manager Luo, why are you here?" "
"Stopping by to see you, do you have a cold? "
I sniffed again and replied, "It's a little." "
"You should blow less air conditioning at night, and it's still cool to open the windows in this weather. Luo Sumei said with concern.
Compared with Lao Jin, Luo Sumei is almost a temperamentless person, and she is not bad for employees, who wants to encounter some difficulties, ask her to advance some salary in advance, and generally agree very happily, so it is her character that makes the company seem to be a little humane, as for Lao Jin, I don't want to say, it is purely an old hooligan in the eyes of money.
After chatting with me for a few words, Luo Sumei finally said: "I heard about the fact that you had a few words with Lao Jin yesterday, Lao Jin is a bad mouth, but he doesn't have any bad intentions. "
"Well, he doesn't have a bad heart, but he just loses money. "
Luo Sumei smiled and said, "Still angry?" "
"I'm not angry, I just don't want to see him grin at me with a big mouth, just roar, just roar, and talk about me only at the high school level, others don't know and think he's an old professor at a 985 university! "
Luo Sumei shook her head and smiled again, and said, "Lao Jin is an old child, you are a little child...... But Jiang Qiao, I really hope you can be considerate of Lao Jin...... You said that he only had the first Chinese, before he did not do a wedding company, he made a little money by speculating in stocks, but this bone is still a big straw bag, now the wedding industry pays attention to creative talents, our company is not competitive compared to others, in fact, Lao Jin is really inferior in his heart, plus the company has not made any money this year, he has more pressure on him, this time it is difficult to receive a big order that can save his life, can he not pay attention to it? …… So bear with him a little more. "
Luo Sumei's words made me suddenly feel a little sympathetic to Lao Jin, sometimes people are quite selfish, as an employee, I can't consider the problem from Lao Jin's point of view in all aspects, after a little silence, I finally replied: "I didn't deny Lao Jin all of them, but this matter is a little embarrassing, Chen Yi was stuck by the TV station, and I had no choice." "
Luo Sumei gently patted me on the shoulder and signaled me not to continue, and then said with great concern: "Jiang Qiao, let's not talk about work matters, if you are sick, you can rest at home, and go back to work as soon as you are sick...... You know? "
I nodded, my heart suddenly felt a little heavy, and I remembered that Lao Jin was kind to me, but it was good in the depths of my heart.
Luo Sumei took out an envelope from her bag and handed it to me, saying, "This is last month's salary, so I won't punch you in, isn't it the end of the month again, I guess you don't have any cash in your hands...... "
I took it from Russell May, and after she said, "Get some rest," she left my lodgings, but my mood changed subtly because of it.
……
I slept at home for most of the day, and when it was almost dusk, I sat up from the bed, and after a period of confusion that I had just woken up, I lit a cigarette, and then took out the envelope that Luo Sumei gave me from the bedside cabinet, and took it out and looked at it for a long time, until the cigarette was about to run out, and finally made a ruthless decision, I want to forget the cruel words I said before, and go to Chen Yi again, hoping that she can overcome the difficulties to preside over this wedding.
Whenever I think of Lao Jin wearing a flower shirt and being tired like a grandson outside every day, I have a heavy burden in my heart, and I also understand: if this business can be done well, it can relieve the company's economic pressure in the next half a year.
I took out all the 6,300 yuan in the envelope, put on a T-shirt and left the residence, I planned to go to the mall to buy a gift for Chen Yi and take the initiative to make peace with her.
Pushing the bicycle out of the alley, it just so happened that the girl also got out of the taxi, and she seemed to be looking for me again.
"Jiangqiao, I'm coming to play with you again, are you going out? She asked, fanning herself with the sunhat in her hand, as if she was afraid of the heat.
"Well, go to the mall and buy something. "
She took my arm and said without any emotion, "Take me and take me." "
"The car doesn't have a back seat, how can I bring it? "
"Isn't there a front bar, I'll sit in front. As she spoke, she took away my hand holding the handlebar and sat down on the front bar, and before I could lean over, I could already smell the faint scent of her, which did not come from perfume, but was a very clean woman's scent.
At this time, an evening wind blew in my face, and her hair stuck to my lips, and she was afraid that I would complain, so she hurriedly tied it up with a rubber band, and then pressed the bell on my car, urging me to ride quickly.
The aunt in the alley passed by us, stared at the girl for a while, and asked me with a smile: "Jiangqiao, are you talking about girlfriends?" …… This little girl is so handsome! "
I was asked about the feeling of an old cow eating tender grass, and hurriedly lowered my head to the girl and asked, "Are you my girlfriend?" "
She replied nonchalantly, "Whatever." "
The two aunts looked at us for some reason, and I was afraid of being questioned, so I smiled at the two aunts, and then stepped on the pedals and drove the girl to the flower god avenue next door to the tulips.
……
Evening is the best time of summer, the temperature is not high or low, the wind blows freely on the wide avenue, her hands have been restless, always reach out to touch the flowers and plants on the side of the road, until she passed by the software park, she opened her mouth to ask me, "What are you doing in the mall?" Do men also like to go to the mall? "
"Why do you have so many questions? …… Did I ask who you are? "
"Why are you asking who I am? …… Isn't this bad now? Anyway, I won't hurt you, and you won't hurt me. "
"Yes, that's right, as long as you approach me, and don't think about cutting off my kidney to sell, I can accept whatever you try. "
"You're disgusting, who wants your kidneys! "
I ignored it, but I was thinking about what gift to buy for Chen Yi to show my sincerity that I didn't want to have a cold war with her anymore.
After riding for a while, I finally asked the girl, "You say, if I want to give something to a woman, what should I give?" "
She replied with a sudden expression: "Oh, it turns out that you went to the mall to buy gifts, say...... Who are you going to give it to? "
"I asked you to give advice, I didn't let you ask, did I? "
She turned her head, looked at me with a smile and said, "Actually, if you don't say it, I know it, you...... I like Chen Yi, so you must have bought something for her. "
I replied seriously: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm going to send something to Chen Yi, but that doesn't mean I like her." "
She sighed: "Alas! Someone is really pathetic, I don't dare to admit that I like Chen Yi, but we onlookers can also understand, after all, Chen Yi is such a famous host, what about you? Poor and poor-mouthed, no place is likable, how could Chen Yi like you? "
"Do you believe that I rode into the ditch in front of me and fell to your death? "
"Haha, it was exposed, and someone was annoyed and angry! "
