Chapter 60: A Fork in the Road in Life
When I came to Jumei, I went into a café called "Sea View Coffee", but I didn't order anything, because it was a first-paid sea-themed coffee shop, and the drinks in it were very expensive, so of course I had to wait for Mi Cai to come first.
I chose an empty spot, sent the name of the coffee shop to Mi Cai by text message, and found a fashion magazine to pass the time, to entertain the boredom, and the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window has become dark, and the various lights that have been lit up have blurred the city shrouded in autumn rain, so I put down the magazine and listened to the sound of the rain hitting the window with some distraction......
Mi Cai walked into the store without knowing something, she sat down across from me, looked at the empty table and asked, "Why don't you order something to drink?" ”
"Pay first, it's expensive, a pot of oolong tea costs more than 200, the owner of this shop is really dark!"
Mi Cai ignored my complaints, beckoned the waiter, helped me with a pot of oolong tea, and ordered a cappuccino herself.
I tasted this pot of more than 200 tea, but I didn't taste anything special, so I was more sure that the boss was a profiteer, but I didn't think that my consumption grade was low.
I drank a cup of tea before I looked at Mi Cai, who was stirring the coffee with a spoon, and asked, "You don't seem to be in good spirits, have you been tired lately?" ”
"I'm a little tired!" Mi Cai said and subconsciously rubbed her temples.
I raised my eyebrows and smiled: "You see you are just moving a stone to hit yourself in the foot, you said that you tried so hard to drive me out of the picture, otherwise you are tired, I still have the ability to take care of your daily life, and ensure that you are comfortable." ”
Mi Cai frowned, and said in a cold tone: "Zhaoyang, don't make such a joke with me. ”
"Your thinking is a little drifting, I said to take care of your life, and you don't have to be your boyfriend or husband, right, it's also a male nanny, and I don't mind being your male nanny!"
Mi Cai was speechless by my anger, and after saying "boring" for a while, he ignored me, still stirring the coffee in his cup, but with a thinking expression.
After a while, I drank a pot of oolong tea, felt hungry, called the waiter again, asked for a pasta salad, and very attentively ordered a tiramisu for Mi Cai, of course, it was Mi Cai who paid for it.
I don't mind taking advantage of a woman, she is much richer than me, and spending her money is just to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor, reconcile the main contradictions in society, and build a harmonious society.
I quickly ate a plate of pasta salad and took a bag of scarves from my backpack and handed it to Mi Cai.
Mi Cai took the scarf and glanced at my Rick Das's backpack inadvertently, and couldn't help but smile on her face.
I said dissatisfiedly: "What's so funny, it's just my entertainment spirit, Rickdas also has a women's backpack, do you dare to use it?" ”
Mi Cai shook her head and didn't dare, took out a scarf from the bag and looked at it, seemed to like it very much, and said to me, "It's beautiful!" ”
"That's right, my mom is the best at weaving things in her life!"
Mi Cai nodded, and then put the scarf into his handbag, but he didn't rush to leave, his expression was a little more relaxed than just now, and he held his chin and looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window at the world that was drenched in rain but lit up by neon.
I didn't want to leave, so I looked out the window with Mi Cai, and saw the neon lights as a piece of prosperity, and then reflected myself so depressed.
At about 9 p.m., Mi Cai and I said goodbye at the coffee shop, and she drove towards the old house in the light of the city, while I walked to the newly rented apartment in the autumn rain to avoid the fallen leaves.
……
After the night, the sky was no longer cloudy, it was a sunny morning, and although I had been sleepless all night listening to the sound of rain last night, I got up early in the morning.
On the morning after the rainy night, when the sun seemed to have a cold smell and the wind howled to blow the fallen leaves on the ground, I bought a bag of soy milk and a few steamed dumplings at the breakfast shop downstairs and ate them as I walked.
I threw the finished bag into the garbage bin and looked up to find that there were so many pedestrians hurrying by, and I seemed to be stationary, and then had no connection with the city.
Enduring the cold of the wind, I stood alone for a long time, and finally took out the letter that was about to be addressed to Chen Jingming from my pocket, and a kind of helplessness at the fork in my life once again permeated my heart.
I have already completed the promotion plan yesterday, no matter what the final implementation result is, but I have done my best to this plan, and it can be regarded as the final explanation to Chen Jingming.
When I came to the company, it was almost nine o'clock, and after typing the card as usual, I came to the office where I had worked for nearly three years, and sat in the office with my own imprint, my mind was empty, just waiting for Chen Jingming to come to the company, and then find a suitable time to hand him the resignation letter.
After a short while, Fang Yuan also came to the company, he put down his briefcase, his face was radiant, and he seemed to be in a good mood, but his appearance filled me with a sense of guilt, but I was helpless, I did it or not, I did it, for Fang Yuan and Chen Jingming, I can only say sorry.
Fang Yuan beckoned me to go to the rest room to make coffee, I nodded and picked up the cup and followed him towards the rest room.
The two of them each made a cup of coffee and found a corner to chat.
Fang Yuan put the coffee cup on the windowsill and patted me on the shoulder, and said excitedly but in a low voice: "Zhaoyang, reliable news, after the end of this promotional event, we will receive a notice of appointment, I will serve as the deputy manager of the planning department, and you will take my place as the leader of the planning copywriting team!" He stopped and looked at the sunlight that fell on the blinds and was blown by the wind, and said with a sigh: "Our brothers have struggled in this city for two years, and finally have a place...... Life is bound to get better and better, right, Zhaoyang? ”
I felt sad in my heart, and I didn't know how to respond, so I smiled bitterly for a long time: "Maybe." ”
"Why are you so calm? Aren't you excited at all? ”
"I'm indifferent to fame and fortune, and then it shows how philistine your kid is!" I made a bitter joke with Fang Yuan, in fact, I am not indifferent to fame and fortune, if I can really become the leader of the planning copywriting team, I must be excited, but now I am ready to hand over my resignation to Chen Jingming, what excitement is there to talk about.
While talking, Chen Jingming's female assistant found me and Fang Yuan and said that Chen Jingming asked us to go to the manager's office.
Fang Yuan said that he would go immediately, but I had a bad premonition in my heart, maybe Mi Cai had used the time of the past few days to dismantle Mi Zhongde's conspiracy, and under the chain reaction, Chen Jingming's plan may have failed.
……
Fang Yuan and I immediately went to Chen Jingming's manager's office, and Chen Jingming, who was sitting in the office chair, rarely lit a cigarette for himself, his face was very ugly.
Fang Yuan was puzzled, and I already knew what was going to happen next.
