3. Heart-to-heart
"Crunch-" The car slammed to a halt a centimeter away from her.
Tranquility was so scared that her legs were weak and she knelt on the ground.
Fang Hui's face changed, and he hurriedly ran over to help her up, "How is it, are you okay?" I'll take you to the hospital. ”
"I'm fine."
A young girl dressed in a foreign style got out of the car, and she stood up with Fang Hui's hand, and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw her, isn't this Shen Lili? The two of them are in the same office, but they haven't been quite right.
She couldn't get used to Shen Lili's arrogance, relying on being the girlfriend of the department manager, she had no one in her eyes, and she was angry when she looked at people, while Shen Lili hated her for being obviously saltless, and she pretended to be a white lotus all day long.
"Tranquility, do you want me to take you to the hospital?" Shen Lili pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of her nose and said insincerely.
"No, I'm fine." Tranquility didn't want to have anything to do with her.
"This is what you said yourself, don't blame me for something wrong with your body at that time," Shen Lili raised her eyebrows, and saw Fang Hui in a blink of an eye, "Yo, is this your boyfriend?" It's pretty handsome, I don't even recognize it. Look at the way you don't have a car, I'll send you wherever you go, just take it as an apology. ”
"I don't need to bother you." Tranquility took Fang Hui's hand and turned to leave, she really hated to see Shen Lili's face.
The words she said were thorny both openly and secretly, one to sarcastically mock her appearance and not worthy of the top, and the other to ridicule them for having no money.
"Tranquility, ignore her, I'll take you to eat something delicious." Fang Hui stroked her hair and comforted.
Tranquility put aside her head, and a resentment stretched out from the bottom of her heart for no reason, why should she be so inferior to Shen Lili, it didn't matter if her appearance was not as good as her before, but now she can also become very beautiful, and she can use her appearance advantage to get better opportunities.
"I don't have an appetite, you can eat it yourself." She said sullenly, leaving her back and walking straight to her rental room.
After another two months, the quiet internship period ended, and he was officially transferred to the finance department.
During this period, she was pleasantly surprised to see that her appearance had risen several levels, and the girls in the office were all talking about it, secretly saying that she had gone to plastic surgery, but this statement was not reliable, because people would come to work every day tomorrow.
Tranquility ignored their discussions, she was now completely immersed in the envious gaze brought by her beauty, and when she went to the pantry to pour a glass of water, she would be accosted by men from other departments.
She sighed that it was no wonder that there was a plastic surgery hospital, it turned out that it felt so good to change from an ugly duckling to a white swan! This is something she would never have been able to feel before.
"Tranquility, Manager Zhang asked you to go to his office." Wang Ya just came back from there, poked her and said.
"Oh, okay." Serenity promised,
Zhang Li is Shen Lili's boyfriend, in his thirties, in charge of their finance department, Shen Lili is so arrogant because of his status, although other colleagues are unhappy, they still flatter her on their faces.
Alas, if only I had such a good boyfriend, Tranquility sighed and went to the office without much thought.
Zhang Li heard a knock on the door, looked up from a pile of papers, and shouted "Come in."
Tranquility pushed open the door, only to see the man behind the desk in a suit and leather shoes, looking mature and steady, looking like a leader, she suddenly had a thought at this moment, why can a shallow woman like Shen Lili find such a good boyfriend, but she can't?
Zhang Li politely sat her down and talked to her about the internship.
Finally, when Ning Jing put Wen Jiàn in front of him, Zhang Li suddenly held her hand tightly and asked, "What's wrong with your hand?" ”
"Ah," Tranquility was startled, but still replied calmly, "I was accidentally scalded by boiling water yesterday, and I was not strict." ”
"Why are you so careless, no matter where the beautiful girl is hurt, it will be very distressing!" Zhang Li raised his eyes and looked straight at her.
Tranquility looked at his eyes that were intended to explore, and the heart in his chest was beating fast, "Thank you Manager Zhang for your concern, I will be careful in the future." ”
She returned to the office, her mind calmed down and slowly recalled the scene just now, Zhang Li had never cared so much about himself before, but today's ・・・・・・ is it because of his beautiful appearance? Or is he hinting at something?
No, he has a girlfriend, how can he like himself? Tranquility glanced at Shen Lili's seat a little weakly, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that the other party was not there.
In the evening, Fang Hui asked her out for dinner, and the two settled at an open-air seafood stall.
"Tranquility, you've become pretty lately." Fang Hui picked up a strand of her hair and played with it, and said with a smile.
"Then do you think I'm going for plastic surgery?"
"Of course not, I think you're a secondary development."
"Nasty." Ning Ning smiled and slapped him lightly, his eyes became more and more radiant, and Fang Hui was stunned.
Girlfriend has become so beautiful, the family will naturally not object to their marriage, although the girlfriend is still familiar with the facial features, but I always feel that something is different, but I can't say where it is.
"Tranquility, my mother agrees with the two of us, let's get married in the next half a year." Fang Hui sandwiched a prawn to her and said. If it weren't for his mother's objection to the marriage, I'm afraid it would have been done a long time ago, he had proposed marriage before, and Tranquility had agreed, so now he just said it normally.
Tranquility chopsticks paused, she must have been ecstatic before, but now she didn't feel it at all, but there was a sense of unwillingness. She looked at the greasy table in front of her, smelled the heavy smell of oily smoke, and suddenly understood something.
"Hmm." She replied vaguely, her eyes darkened.
In the past few days, Tranquility has been a little restless, not because of Fang Hui's marriage proposal, but because of Zhang Li's courtesy to her. Whether it is at work or in life, he shows unprecedented concern, Tranquility is not a fool, she can feel that the other party has different ideas. Just like the last time she made a wrong report, Zhang Li actually calmed things down for her.
"Tranquility, do you have time to go out for dinner in the evening?"
Tranquility heard Zhang Li's familiar voice, hesitated in her heart, and saw that the colleagues around her were still on a lunch break, so she got up and went to the pantry to listen to the phone.
"Well, I'm free, and I'll see you at night."
After hanging up the phone, she returned to her position and peeked in the direction of Shen Lili, and a feeling of weakness rose spontaneously. After thinking about it, she took out her mobile phone and dialed Fang Hui's number, "Hey, Fang Hui, I have to work overtime at night, and I don't have time to go to dinner with you." ”
Fang Hui's voice was a little lost, but he still told her to pay more attention to her body, and she didn't have to work too hard, so he would support her in the future.
However, Ning Jing didn't listen to him at all, because she was thinking about dating Zhang Li at the moment, so she cut off the phone a little impatiently.
Zhang Liyue's place is a high-end Western restaurant, and the ornate crystal lamps flow with a faint sheen, making the food look more attractive than usual.
After the two finished eating, Zhang Li drove her back, and when he got downstairs, he suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "Tranquility, I like you, be my girlfriend." ”
Tranquility's eyes widened, although it was expected, but when these words came out of his mouth, his heart still trembled, "But・・・・・・ don't you have a girlfriend?" ”
Zhang Li sighed, "You also know, Shen Lili is a difficult person. But don't worry, I will definitely break up with her, as long as you agree to have a relationship with me, I am willing to do anything for you. ”
His voice was low and magnetic, and she couldn't help but be intoxicated by the faint smell of perfume in the car, and she nodded almost without hesitation.
Zhang Li smiled expectedly, pinched her chin, and pecked her lips.
Tranquility's attitude towards the other party began to be cold, first shirking the dinner date, and then simply missing his face. She figured it out, she didn't have enough capital before, so she wanted to hold on tightly when she met Fang Hui, but now it's different, she can find a better boyfriend with her beauty, and she can enjoy the double pleasure brought by material and love.
So when Fang called her back to ask her, she organized the wording and simply said the breakup.
"Why? Is it because of my mother? Fang Hui's startled voice entered her eardrums.
"No, it's me and you," Ning Ning thought for a moment, her tone was flat and calm, "Fang Hui, we are long past the age when we were studying, and I have to think about my future, so we are not suitable." ”
She didn't wait for the other party to answer, she hung up the phone directly, held the phone tightly and put it on her chest, although there was a faint sense of loss in her heart, but she was not sad. You can have better reliance, why be sad?
Fang Hui didn't come to her this month, Tranquility felt much more relaxed, and the relationship with Zhang Li also heated up quickly, but when she asked the other party when she planned to break up, the other party was always vague, just said it was fast.
A very strange feeling rose in Tranquility's heart, and this feeling was especially obvious when facing Shen Lili, who felt as if she was intervening in a third party between others.
But since they are not married and have no feelings, they are not considered juniors, right? Besides, with a temper like Shen Lili, it is common sense that Zhang Li can't stand her. As soon as Tranquility thought about it, the guilt in her heart gradually subsided.
On this day, the two made an appointment to eat at a high-end restaurant.
Zhang Li looked at the budding girl in front of him, his heart fluttered, and he picked up a strand of the other party's hair and put it on the tip of his nose to sniff.
"Hey, quietly, you have a gray hair here? I'll help you unplug. ”
"Huh?" Tranquility looked down, and there was indeed a dazzling silver thread in her jet-black and shiny hair.
"Just unplug it, you must have been too tired from work lately," Zhang Li said, putting his arm around her shoulders and whispering in his ear, "You should take a good rest." Why don't we stay here tonight? ”
Tranquility and Zhang Li have been secretly dating for three months unknowingly, and she feels that every day is both tense and exciting in this kind of office romance and underground romance.
On this day, when she came back from Zhang Li's office and was checking a report, Shen Lili suddenly came in from outside the door, walked up to her angrily, and couldn't help but give her a loud slap.
"Tranquility, you're a shameless vixen!"
