Chapter 36: Purple Shirt
After the detailed case of the carnival was finalized, the decision was transferred to Vice President Liu, who was in charge of administration, and Tang Xiaoya seemed to have no reason to see the boss.
Once, Tang Xiaoya met Linda when she was eating in a restaurant, and they inevitably pinched each other when they met. It is said that adversity sees the truth, and this cannot be disbelieved. Because of overtime, these two women found that they had a lot of common language, and they also had a bit of a similar smell.
"Yo, Linda, you've been in the spring lately, have you found a good man? Or did you win the lottery? Tang Xiaoya winked at her playfully. I haven't seen her for a few days, but this noisy daughter has a noticeably good complexion and looks refreshed.
Linda pursed her lips, "Recently, I don't have to be poisoned by my boss, as soon as my mood is relaxed, my endocrine will be greatly balanced, and besides, this girl is naturally beautiful and difficult to give up." Hey, you can also take it easy recently, the boss won't be able to come back from Europe until the end of the month, and Deputy Liu, who is in charge, is always kind and kind, and he won't kill you. ”
Tang Xiaoya was secretly taken aback, and a little inexplicably happy. It turned out that Xu Jun's door was locked not because she guessed about moving, but because she went abroad, and somehow, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
didn't have to work overtime on weekends, Tang Xiaoya finally put dating on the agenda, and like other couples, she went out with Lu Mingxuan to eat, go shopping, watch movies, take a walk, and go for a ride...... It was as if the clock had gone back five years.
But some things have quietly changed over time, but she doesn't quite want to admit it, or don't think so.
That day, while Lu Mingxuan was not available, Mickey Mouse took Tang Xiaoya out to go shopping with him. I went to the city center for two days to watch an afternoon movie and eat Italian food, and later found that the street was the palace department store, so I started to visit the mall.
Tang Xiaoya wanted to buy a gift for Lu Mingxuan, but after thinking about it carefully, she didn't seem to have bought anything for him, this should be the first time, and she couldn't help but be a little apprehensive.
IN FACT, IT'S A SHAME TO SAY THAT THE TWO HAVE BEEN IN LOVE FOR THREE YEARS, AND LU MINGXUAN IS INTERESTED IN HER BIRTHDAY, PREFERENCES, AND THE SIZE OF HER CLOTHES...... knows everything clearly, but she always remembers vaguely, maybe she doesn't spend much time remembering it.
What should I give? The first thing that came to her mind was the shirt. Tang Xiaoya likes all kinds of shirts, slim, casual, long, short...... She herself has one or two for all seasons, mostly white, and of course likes men who wear nice shirts. And that feeling is probably called joy, and it has absolutely nothing to do with love.
The two entered a boutique, the clothes were full of dazzling, the workmanship was exquisite, and the price was also high-grade, and it was extraordinary at first glance. Tang Xiaoya was holding two shirts in her hands, one blue and one purple, a little undecided.
"Mickey Mouse, both of these seem to be pretty good, which one do you think is better?"
Mickey Mouse said vaguely, "Lu Mingxuan is so handsome, it is estimated that he can wear a sack with style, come on, you can simply buy both, save the confusion." In fact, her recent life has been a mess by Du Lei, and when she thinks of that man when she sees the shirt, her heart suddenly becomes irritated.
Tang Xiaoya felt that she had asked in vain, and she still picked the purple one after the last. She fell in love at first sight with this dress, a classic design style, intertwined with velvet twill, soft and fine to the touch, looking shiny and full, structured and natural, with a different kind of luxury in simplicity.
The next day, she answered Lu Mingxuan's phone call and agreed to meet at a private Italian restaurant in the city center at six o'clock.
Tang Xiaoya arrived on time, she looked around, sure enough, the atmosphere was very good, quiet and leisurely, the decoration was very European, it is said that this place is one of the best places to go on a date, and it really deserves its reputation. She asked for a cup of lemon tea and placed her shirt paper bag casually on the couch.
As soon as he sat down, as soon as he raised his eyes, Lu Mingxuan had already walked in, with a silver shirt and a pink tie, and his hair looked handsome and straight. Her mind moved, and when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that she had seen him wearing silver clothes several times, and suddenly realized, maybe this was his preference? I was a little uneasy at the moment.
Lu Mingxuan sat down and looked at her gently, "The car is a little jammed, you haven't waited long, right?" ”
"Of course not, I've only been there for a while."
What Tang Xiaoya misses most is Lu Mingxuan's thoughtfulness, family-like care, especially after her parents left suddenly. In fact, she has always hoped to have a brother who can care about her, love her, share troubles for her, and even shelter her from the wind and rain, and Lu Mingxuan is such an existence for her, sunny and kind, hardworking and capable, and able to tolerate everything, so, after a period of time, Lu Mingxuan proposed to let her be his girlfriend, she thought that it seemed to be good, so she nodded and agreed.
After eating, the two drank coffee and chatted. Tang Xiaoya felt a little uncomfortable because she picked the wrong color, and secretly reflected on it, feeling that she didn't care enough about Lu Mingxuan, so she was ready to start remedy.
"Mingxuan, what kind of color do you like? Your silver shirt and pink tie feel good and suit you perfectly. ”
Lu Mingxuan was naturally very happy to see his girlfriend so attentive, "Actually, I'm not picky, I used to wear white and blue...... When I was in the United States a few years ago, a colleague once gave me this silver shirt and pink tie as a birthday gift. ”
Tang Xiaoya was suddenly very curious about who had such a good eye, and at a glance, she knew what this man was suitable for, she wanted to ask but couldn't ask, so she had to knock on the side.
"How did you spend your birthday in the United States?"
"At that time, we didn't have many friends in the United States, and when it came to birthdays, the company would have a simple party to liven up, and everyone would bring some gifts to each other, female colleagues were often more careful, and would buy shirts, ties, socks or something, while men were more confused, and generally brought more practical, such as wine, champagne, ......"
Tang Xiaoya stirred the coffee in her hand, lowered her head and asked casually, "The person who gave you the silver shirt is Shen Mingfang?" ”
"Oh, you're really right." Lu Mingxuan also seemed to be very open, holding her hand and comforting, "Xiaoya, Mr. Shen is a special person for me, and you also know that my father's illness was thanks to her help. At work, she taught me a lot of things, and in private, she also cared about me, like a friend and a bit like a relative. "You, you shouldn't have misunderstood anything, right?"
"Oh, no. I can understand, don't worry. Tang Xiaoya smiled faintly.
"That's good." Lu Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Xiaoya took the initiative to divert the topic, "I'm actually a little curious about your life abroad in the past few years, is it very hard?" ”
Lu Mingxuan nodded, as if he was caught in a memory.
"Foreign countries attach great importance to credibility, and when Jiayu first established a branch in the United States, it was difficult to gain the trust of customers without a foundation. At that time, I often followed Mr. Shen to the market and met all kinds of people, from morning to night. Fortunately, after a long time, the cooperative relationship was established one by one, and later there were some relatively stable customer bases, and the branch slowly got on the track. ”
That night, Lu Mingxuan recalled a lot of life in the United States, and one by one, the fragments were spliced into patterns in her mind, which gradually became distinct, and was no longer a blank space.
But her heart always felt heavy, and she was always in a trance on the way home, until Lu Mingxuan's car disappeared from view, and she remembered that the paper bag was still in her hand.
An inappropriate gift, missed the time to give, may only be stored at the bottom of the box.
