Chapter 117: Refusal Again
This is one of the many times I've had a confrontation with Mi Cai, but this time I chose to die and fall into silence, but the customer's affection was still high, and Mi Cai sang another song for them.
CC squeezed his eyes at me and motioned for me to take advantage of the audience's coaxing to pull Mi Cai up and sing together, but I had no desire to sing, so I took a cigarette out of my cigarette case and walked out of the bar, I wanted to breathe the outside air again, even though it was damp and cold.
Since I returned to Suzhou, I seem to be irritable every day, and this irritability comes from both subjective and objective, but I can't find a way to overcome it for the time being, so my feelings always fluctuate in some trivial things.
I smoked half of a cigarette, and suddenly noticed that there was an extra person next to me, and when I turned my head, I realized that it was Mi Cai standing next to me, and interestingly, my Alto and her Audi were also placed side by side not far away.
I took another puff of cigarette and spit it out for a long time before I asked Mi Cai, "Why did you come out?" ”
"Look at you, and find out if you're really angry at me for refusing to sing with you."
"There's nothing to be angry about, I'm used to your rejection."
Mi Cai didn't respond to my words, and said a meaningful sentence for a long time: "Actually, I like a song, but I don't really like it many times, but I just use a way to miss someone...... So you and Janeway both sang that elopement ......" paused and looked at me again and asked, "Zhaoyang, am I right?" ”
This is a sentence worth pondering, but I was tired, so tired that I didn't want to think about anything, so I changed the topic and said to Mi Cai with a smile: "I saw the car on the other side, it's mine now, cool, right?" ”
Mi Cai seemed to have intended to fulfill my diversion topic, and didn't ask anything more, but said very cooperatively: "Is it that Alto?" ”
"Yes, I once drove this car and invited you to eat in the empty city, remember?"
Mi Cai just nodded and didn't talk anymore, because the topic we were talking about now was a bit boring.
So we were silent again, but I was not afraid of this silence at all, for I had smoke to relieve all the embarrassment and discomfort in silence.
With a cigarette in hand, it was Mi Cai who broke the silence at the end, and she said to me, "I'll rest tomorrow, if you have time, can you taste the food you cooked?" ”
"No, you don't even want to sing with me, why should I cook for you!"
"Is it necessary to be so stingy?"
I said seriously: "Wrong, this is not stingy, this is called retribution." ”
Mi Cai frowned and said: "The word retribution is not used well, I remember telling you before, I have never treated you as an opponent." ”
Seeing that Mi Cai was very serious, it was not suitable for me to continue joking with her, and said to her: "Actually, there is no time tomorrow, the decoration plan over there has been made, and I have to run the decoration company all day tomorrow." ”
Mi Cai said to me with a little disappointment: "Then let's have a chance next time." ”
I nodded and remembered that I hadn't given her rent yet, so I immediately took out my wallet from my pocket and counted 1,500 yuan, handed it to her and said, "This is a month's rent, you can keep it." ”
Mi Cai didn't reach out to pick it up, she said to me, "You can keep the rent for some potted plants at home, it must be beautiful in spring." ”
I thought that the potted plants would look beautiful in the spring, so I nodded subconsciously and put the money back in my wallet.
"Zhaoyang, when those potted plants bloom in the spring, you must have run the bar well, right?"
Mi Cai's question surprised me, no matter how good I was, it was impossible to run a bar in just a few months, it would take a long process, but as a graduate student of the University of Pennsylvania Business School, how could she ask such a substandard question?
I asked Mi Cai with doubts: "Do you mean that you are running a good business to bring the bar on the right track, or is the business booming and profitable?" ”
Mi Cai was silent for a long time and then said to me, "No, when I say good business, I mean that you can leave this bar and end your help to your friends." ”
I laughed and said, "That's what you mean!" But do you want me to get out of this bar? And you're now one of the shareholders of this bar, which doesn't make sense, you should want me to make this bar better and better! ”
Mi Cai turned to face me, and said to me with a stern expression but a very low tone, "I hope you can come to work in Zhuomei...... Now I don't have anyone around me who can really be trusted, I'm tired and helpless! ”
This time, I looked at Mi Cai even more shocked, and I couldn't speak for a while.
"I hope you come to work in Zhuomei not to repay you for anything, because I have seen your ability and talent, I have studied the promotional theme of love is not extravagant for Baoli Department Store before you left Suzhou, and it is really good, as well as the literary and artistic positioning of the fifth season of the bar, it is also very innovative and creative, Zhuomei needs talents like you, and I believe that Zhuomei will become the best stage for you to display your talents!"
Mi Cai's tone is still sincere, but at this moment she is unfamiliar, because she is full of the temperament of a CEO in the workplace, I can't connect her now with her who often fights with me with her little temperament.
But at the moment, she is helpless, so she will let me go to Zhuomei, I know that in her heart, I am a person who can be trusted, but if I accept her trust, it means that there is more responsibility, and this kind of responsibility because of trust is precisely the heaviest, so I will not give her an answer, at least not now, at this moment I am already burdened with a heavy responsibility because of Le Yao's trust, I will not regard myself as a savior, let alone bear so many responsibilities.
Finally I said to Mi Cai, who had been waiting for my reply, "I just want to run a good bar right now, and it's going to be a long process, so what you're saying is too far away for me to make a decision right now." ”
For my euphemistic refusal, Mi Cai just nodded, she didn't say anything more, as calm as ever, but what about her mood? She will definitely be lost and helpless, but she is much stronger and wiser than ordinary women, so whether or not I will not affect whether she can completely control Zhuomei, and her dependence on me in her life is just an inertia in the mall, and there is no special meaning, I think it is precisely because she understands this in her heart, so she didn't say anything after I refused.
A cold wind blew up the snow on the ground, but it magnified our silence infinitely, and I finally said to Mi Cai after a long silence: "Let's go in, it's the weekend, have fun!" ”
Mi Cai nodded and walked with me towards the bar, and the moment I entered the bar, I seemed to have forgotten what Mi Cai had just said to me, because I preferred the little quarrel between us to the strictness of the one just now.
Then again, even if I run this bar well, I won't go to Zhuomei, because I'm sorry for Chen Jingming's trust and the cultivation of me over the years, to this day, I still can't let go of the fact that I single-handedly ruined Chen Jingming's hard-won promotion opportunity, although such an opportunity seems to be a bit inferior, but the whole incident was not planned by Chen Jingming, he is just a person who may benefit from the incident, so this guilt has been haunting me.
