Chapter 62: Bad Weather and Bad Mood

When I got home, my mother was probably still angry about not returning home on Friday night, and even though I deliberately made a lot of noise after entering the door, my mother didn't hear me at all, and ignored me. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info can be said to be a frustrated me, and when I checked in the refrigerator, I finally realized the feeling of 'my mother still loves me' again. In the refrigerator, there are delicate glass bowls filled with white squash and watermelon slices poured with condensed milk and honey. "Thank you." I shouted my gratitude in the kitchen=, but my mom still didn't respond to me. I came out of the kitchen a little embarrassed, and finally walked into my bedroom with a platter of melons and fruits.

After eating the fruit, half lying on the sofa chair boredly swiping his mobile phone, suddenly a WeChat prompt flashed on the screen, it was a request to add friends, the avatar hung with a photo of Li Zhilin, and his name was also written in the friend application. I added WeChat, said hello, and soon the other party sent back a text message: Have you contacted Mi Zhen today?

"Well, but nothing has progressed." I replied like this, presumably he wanted to know the reason, and was wondering whether to take the initiative to tell the reason, when another text message came.

"Unexpectedly, we have been following up for more than two years before we have these news. It's been hard work today and Friday. A few seconds after this seemingly comforting text message came, the other party immediately threw a bombshell, "How did you think about the new job that Mizhen told you?" ”

The thing about a new job? I was shocked, could it be that Mizhen had already contacted him in advance? Said about it? But after thinking about it, there is no such possibility, didn't Li Zhilin just now still ask me if I met Mi Zhen today? If he had known in advance, he would have asked me how I was thinking about it again, instead of asking me if Mi Zhen didn't mention it. From this point of view, the matter of wanting me to change jobs was planned by Mi Zhen and Li Zhilin before. I was guessing in my heart, and the text message I edited in my hand was deleted, deleted, and finally sent out, and when it was finally sent, there were only four words left: 'still under consideration'.

Li Zhilin didn't reply to my WeChat for a long time, and I threw my phone back to bed with some chagrin, I really couldn't understand why Mi Zhen and the others were so obsessed with letting me change my current 9-to-5 job. The only possibility is that Mi Zhen has a deep resentment towards my colleague who doesn't talk well, so she is afraid that I will be influenced to be like that, so she always wants me to leave. When he was thinking about various possibilities, the prompt tone of his mobile phone rang again: "I will go to your company to have dinner with you on Tuesday, and I will meet you at that time." ”

"Don't you still have an auction to host?" was supposed to be playing with Li Zhilin for real, okay, the current troubles were solved at one time, but the inferiority complex was at work, and the words typed out seemed to be refusing Li Zhilin's invitation, after all, his work was really too high.

"It's been delayed, and there's a problem with one of the sellers' work." In fact, Li Zhilin doesn't need to explain to me in such detail, simply say that there are changes, and I can't say anything unpleasant. awkwardly agreed, but his heart was extremely uncomfortable. It's real, and you can't refuse polite and gentle people at all.

In the evening, the sky began to thunder, but the occasional lightning did not bring a single raindrop, and the air was filled with the smell of dampness. I think if I could twist the air, I would unscrew a room full of water. Coupled with the words that Mi Zhen had said that kept crashing into my mind, the irritability in my heart became more and more intense. "Ahhhh I couldn't help but cry out the unhappiness of believing in the Lord, but I forgot that I was not alone in my family now. Sure enough, less than a few seconds after I called Korea, my mother's voice appeared at the bedroom door.

"Is something wrong?" Mom asked worriedly.

"It's nothing, it's just that the air is too stuffy to sleep." I'm making up reasons.

"Oh." Mom just replied simply, but it made me feel that this simple word had more meaning than nagging.

"That, Mom, good night." I just wanted to end the conversation right away, and I was afraid that I would say something suspicious in the first moment of excitement.

"Good night. It may rain tonight, so keep the windows closed before going to bed. When it rains, it will ease a lot. Mom didn't say anything more, just told me a few words.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard my mom return to her room, oops, when did I be so embarrassed in my own house. Ever since I volunteered to get myself involved in Mi Jin's affair, I seem to have completely lost control of my life and emotions, and this situation of being led by the nose by the inexplicable chaos is really restless. After rolling around in bed a few times because of the constant irritability, my eyelids couldn't help but become heavy. Groggy up.

The next morning, in the wee hours of the morning, to be exact, I was chilled by the wind blowing in through the window, and the wind mixed with the raindrops blew on my arms, and even in the summer, it made people feel wet and uncomfortable, and when I got up to close the window to isolate myself from the wind and rain outside, I found that the windowsill had accumulated a small puddle. While scrambling to clean up the windowsill, he complained about why he didn't close the windows before he started to get sleepy, so as to prevent flooding in the house.

After a toss, the whole person was no longer sleepy, picked up his mobile phone, and watched the TV series for a while, but found that he couldn't watch anything. After closing the video, I clicked on the news website again, because of the 'White Snake' thing, and now I watch the news club subconsciously slide to the antique collection section, wanting to know more information about this. Unexpectedly, when I browsed today, I found news about Friday's auction. Curiously clicked in, it was a news about the chaos at the venue that day, which was not much different from what Li Zhilin described, and the police had long been eyeing the semi-underground auction, first, because the organizer had a long history in antique trading, and privately transferred the auction items to the buyers, and the matter of handing them over to the buyers attracted the attention of the police; On the other hand, the police were informed in advance that some of the goods that appeared in the auction on Friday were involved in smuggling and theft of antiquities. Mi Zhen's boyfriend should have been in the past that day just to control the internal situation of the auction in advance, so as to cooperate with the police investigation that came by surprise later.

The content of this news is very brief, and even the headline of the news is not placed in a more obvious place. The main places are filled with articles on the identification of the collections, archaeological finds, and some historical information based on the latest research. In fact, the children who are going to take the college entrance examination next year should watch more of these news, in addition to historical knowledge, the material for writing essays is also good, at least they can make up the number of words in the essay. While lamenting the convenience brought by technology now, he is also reviewing the knowledge that history and geography teachers used to teach in middle school. I sighed that high school was the most knowledgeable period in my life.

The alarm on my mobile phone rang, and I realized that I had been swiping my phone for more than 3 hours, rubbing my already sore eyes, sighing at the arrival of Monday, and by the way, suppressing the 'excitement' that swelled up in my heart about seeing Li Zhilin again at noon on Tuesday.

At noon, I heard my colleagues around me talking about the recent trend of 'hand kushi', and the small leaf red sandalwood, walnut, olive pit, and gourd poured into my ears from time to time.

"Zhizhi." A colleague called my name, and I turned around to find that it was a colleague I didn't know very well beckoning me to join. I guess they want to pull me into the circle of playing 'hand kushi'. Although I wasn't interested, I slowly moved over out of politeness. My colleague pulled me in a hurry, picked up my phone by the way, picked it up, and showed me a bracelet on the screen.

"Xingyue Bodhi." The colleague proudly introduced, "How's it going, it's beautiful?" ”

"Hmm." I didn't know much about it, so I could only simply nod my head in agreement.

"Do you like it?" My colleague set his sights on me, didn't he want me to buy it? I was a little vague in my heart and shook my head vigilantly: "It's expensive, isn't it?" ”

"It's a little, but I can ask your friends to buy it for you." The colleague blinked.

"Friends?" I don't understand what my colleague is saying.

She smiled narrowly: "What, don't hide it, we all saw it." You've recently gotten a pretty rich boyfriend. Didn't you take a leave of absence to go to dinner with him at noon last Friday? It's not cheap, and I've seen you make his car. When I came back, I checked the price of the car, and it was very expensive. "The look on her face now makes me feel very sick to my stomach.

"That's just a little brother I knew, not my boyfriend." I suppressed it for a long time before I didn't say the hurtful words like 'you guys are really gossiping', and I could only maintain the most basic politeness on the surface.

"Maybe I'll be a boyfriend in the future." Hearing me say this, he took back his phone a little stupidly, but still persuaded without giving up, "When you become a boyfriend, you can ask him to buy it for you." Let me tell you, this can appreciate in value, maybe the price will increase several times in the future. If you don't do it now, you'll regret it later. If you don't like this look, I still have a few strings of agate, which are also very beautiful. Now that everyone is hyping these, don't you follow your boyfriend, ah your friend to invest in it? ”

I couldn't get used to this colleague's mercenary appearance, but I still rejected her sales pitch as gently as possible: "I'll ask him later." With that, he walked to his desk. In the end, she still didn't give up and chased after again: "The price will be high if you buy it in the future." ”

I sat back at my desk with some reluctance, put on my headphones, closed my eyes, and cut off the noise from the outside world. Playing in the headphones is Gounod's "Faust Waltz", the dance music at the end of the second act of the opera "Faust", in which Faust asks the demon to let him see the lovely girl Margaret he longs for again. To the accompaniment of dance music, people took to the streets and danced. Faust finds Marguerite in the street, chases her, and expresses his affection to her.

In fact, Faust is a man who is a multi-talented doctor who lived in 15th-century Germany and is regarded as a legendary figure because of his many miracles. However, at that time, when science was not popular, people added to his experience, saying that he had the help of the devil to accomplish those miracles that seemed incredible at the time. Later, according to legend, Goethe combined the background of post-Renaissance Europe and Germany, and wrote the highly prestigious 12,111-line poem "Faust".

To put it bluntly, the legendary prototype of Dr. Faustus is just an ordinary person, and I wonder if he would be furious if he learned that he was portrayed as an image that made a pact with the devil and sold his soul. Although in the end, Faust defeated the demon with the help of the power of the angel and regained his soul, most of the descendants still only remember Faust as the one who sold his soul to the devil. Human words are terrible, human words are terrible. Thinking like this, I accidentally said what was in my heart.

Hurriedly took off the headphones and looked around, those who were discussing the handpieces had already left the office, and there were only two colleagues left in the empty office who were just familiar colleagues, but they were all doing their own things, no one should notice me, right? With this thought to myself, I quietly sat back in my place.

But as soon as I relaxed, I saw the little penguin in the bottom right of the screen jumping non-stop, and when I clicked on it, it was a name that didn't make a big impression. "I heard it just now, that 'human words are terrible.'" Seeing this, my heart 'groaned' and skipped a beat. I glanced at the other party's avatar again, and it didn't show the mobile phone login, so it's certain that the person who sent the message was in this office, and it was also written in the group as a colleague, but I didn't write a note before, and I don't know which of the two people behind me was.

The man saw that I didn't reply to the message, so he sent another one: "Scared silly? ”

"Nope." I hurriedly replied, "I was listening to the opera just now, and I was impressed." ”

"No need to hide it. I know you're very unhappy when they tried to sell your hand. The other party apparently never left the office from the beginning. I clicked on the chat history between the two of us, but it was blank.

"No need to look it up." The other party kept sending messages, "We haven't spoken since we became friends." Our work does not intersect. ”

"yes. There is no intersection at all. "I've walked behind the colleague who still has a chat message with me on his screen.

He looked at me in amazement, completely unconvinced that I could find him in such a quick time.

I laughed and deleted the chat history between the two of us: "You, you better spend less time doing this kind of boring thing of 'blackmailing others'." I can't name you, and we don't have any overlap in our work. But have you forgotten that the time we added friends to each other will remain in the records of both of us. The tradition in our office is to become QQ friends with each other on the first day of employment, so as long as you confirm the time and compare the attendance confirmation slip from the time when you became a friend, it is easy to know which colleague sent me the 'warning letter'. So, you haven't had a chance to get promoted for so long, you have to find the reason from yourself. If you would have overlooked such an obvious detail, I'm sure you've made a lot of jokes in your daily work. I patted his shoulder, which had become stiff because of the fright, "If you have the time to pay attention to my gossip, you might as well use this time to learn about the business." ”

Another colleague in the office laughed out loud at my yin and yang weirdness, in exchange for the white eyes of the idler in front of me, and the idler himself was flushed with cynicism from me.

Looking at the embarrassed gossip colleague in front of him, half of the unhappiness that had accumulated in his heart disappeared, and he returned to his workstation humming a song. I stretched my waist and suddenly felt happy.
