Chapter Seventy-Seven: Go to Work and Fall in Love
In the end, the municipal party committee is not comparable to a political axe, it has no specific functions, and after the closing ceremony, there should be no major event for a while. Xu Xia also relaxed herself, and the next morning, she went to work unhurriedly.
As soon as he entered the office, Dou Hui informed him of the unfortunate news: Hao Rui was sick.
Xu Shrimp was stunned in front of the door and said, "What disease?" Is it serious? "Walk to your desk.
Dou Hui's eyes moved with him, and he responded: "It's not a serious illness, it's just a cold, I listen to her voice on the phone, it shouldn't be too serious." ”
Xu Shrimp thought of Hao Rui's family situation, and asked again: "Did you go to the hospital?" ”
Dou Hui said: "I asked, and she said to take some medicine, rest at home, and be fine, no need to go to the hospital." ”
Xu Xia sat down and picked up the teacup: "What's wrong with it?" ”
Dou Hui glanced at him and said, "I said that the forum would be tired of tossing back and forth, and I drank and blew the wind the night before yesterday, and I caught a cold." ”
Xu Shrimp smiled from her nose: "She won't want to rely on my head, right?" ”
Dou Hui said with a sour face: "I don't know if you are on your head, anyway, I know that you will definitely go to see her." ”
Xu Xia sighed slightly: "It's not me, it's the two of us, let's go see her together, or she will just call my mobile phone, why make an office call?" ”
Dou Hui was dizzy, and before he could react to this was a good thing, he said sourly: "If you want me to see, it's almost the same as hiding people's eyes and ears." ”
Xu Xia frowned, thinking that women are like this, what a colleague, Hao Rui is not bad to her, but she has no sympathy at all. said lightly: "If you don't go, forget it." ”
Dou Huicai recalled: "You said you would take me with you?" ”
Xu Shrimp said without a good face: "I didn't say it." ”
Dou Hui said happily: "It's useless for you to deny it, I heard it." Then I'll be a light bulb for you, so that others don't have to gossip about you. ”
Xu Shrimp scoffed: "How can there be anyone else?" Just gossip about me. As soon as the cup was put down, he took out his phone and walked out.
Dou Hui turned around sharply and choked, "Why are you going?" ”
Xu Xiqi said: "Anything else?" ”
Dou Hui stood up with a sigh: "It's okay and you're not allowed to go!" Aggrieved, he said: "She called you away every day, and finally didn't come to work today, so you can't stay with me for a day?" It's just early in the morning and I'm about to leave from work, and I'm so annoying to you? Can't you be considerate and considerate of me? ”
Xu Xia's mouth was half open in surprise, and he lowered his mobile phone after a while and said, "I'll go out and call my wife." ”
Dou Huicai realized that he was in a hurry, and he was furious and didn't let people go, he let out a soft cry, covered his mouth in embarrassment, and his pretty face immediately turned red with embarrassment. Glancing at him quickly, he dodged and turned around, bowing his head and sitting back in his seat, like a schoolboy who had made a mistake.
Xu Xia looked at her and wanted to laugh but couldn't. Generally speaking, it is better for men and women not to break the gourd than to break it, but he thinks that in the current situation, it may be better to break it.
Gently walked to her side and bowed to her desk: "Doudou, look at the two of us, you have a boyfriend, I have a girlfriend, we ...... Isn't it a bit too much? "It's hard to say directly whether you're a bit too much, so you have to use us.
Dou Huiqiao's face was hot, she had no face to see, and she was questioned in person, and said anxiously and helplessly: "I don't, I just ...... I want you to stay with me, I really ...... I really didn't think about anything else. Embarrassed, he leaned on his desk.
Xu Shrimp felt distressed and had a headache, and didn't know what to say, so he nodded and said, "It's good if you don't have it." ”
Dou Hui didn't speak, burying her face and not seeing the sky.
Xu Xia couldn't say any more, sighed, and prepared to go out.
Dou Hui curled her face and glanced at him, and in the red circles of her eyes, tears were pouring out.
Xu Shrimp was startled and said in a panic: "Doudou, what are you crying about?" ”
Dou Hui didn't answer, and cried even more with her face down.
Xu Xia didn't expect this, subconsciously looked at the office door, hurriedly locked the door, turned around and helped her shoulders and said, "Doudou, it's me who is not good, I shouldn't have said those words, don't cry?" ”
Dou Hui closed her eyes and cried sadly.
Xu Xia was so anxious that she was at a loss, and she was afraid that someone would come suddenly, so she whispered in her ear: "Doudou, I promise you, I will never say the same thing in the future, even if I beg you, don't cry?" ”
Dou Hui cried silently, burying her face and shaking her head.
Xu Shrimp was helpless, so he simply reached out to help.
Dou Hui was helped up, Pear Blossom looked at him with rain, suddenly stretched out his arms to hug his waist, and cried in his arms again.
Xu Shrimp was hugged like wood, this was powerless, and finally knew that he was wrong, and it was better not to break the gourd. Slowly, he gently patted her head and said, "Doudou, don't cry, you can't tell if you cry again and invite people to come?" ”
These words finally had a starting point, Dou Hui straightened up, lowered her head and wiped her tears, and said weakly: "Brother Xu, I'm sorry." ”
Xu Xia didn't say a word, pulled the paper from his desk, took out one, sat on the desk and handed it to her.
Dou Hui took it and peeked at him while wiping.
Xu Shrimp was angry and funny, weak and helpless, handed her one by one, and waited for her to wipe it before saying, "Is it better?" ”
Dou Hui nodded, and said angrily: "You are not allowed to bully me again in the future." ”
Xu Shrimp smiled bitterly: "I don't think you're bullying me." ”
Dou Hui smiled proudly, curled her lips and said, "I don't care, anyway, you have promised me just now, and you are not allowed to say anything like that in the future." ”
Xu Shrimp sighed: "If you don't say it, don't say it, little ostrich." ”
Dou Hui said angrily: "You are equivalent to saying it again now." ”
Xu Xia couldn't help her: "Okay, the little ostrich won't say anything, hurry up and wipe it again." Then he took out a piece of paper and handed it to her, pointing to the place where she had not been able to wipe it.
Dou Hui felt a lot more comfortable crying, and seeing that Xiao Shrimp was so considerate, she felt that it was indeed a good "bully", so she had to inch in and said: "Then you will be a little better to me in the future." ”
Xu Shrimp didn't get used to it, and said frankly: "Doudou, I have always treated you as a sister, and I have always been very good to you, how do you still think I can be good to you?" ”
Dou Hui reluctantly said: "It's okay to be a sister, but it's also better." ”
Xu Shrimp stubbornly said: "It's okay to be nice to you, but you also have to treat yourself as a sister, don't always follow others to join in the fun, let alone think nonsense, you know?" ”
Dou Hui glanced at him embarrassedly, and finally broke into a smile and agreed.
Xu Xia stood up and said, "Okay, I'm out to call, you can also call your boyfriend." Let's get off work early in the afternoon, Director Hao is at home alone, and it is estimated that he will leave us for dinner, so you can make it clear first. ”
Dou Hui said stiffly: "Then I'll just call home." ”
Xu Shrimp sighed: "You can decide for yourself." He patted her on the shoulder and shook her head and went out.
Dou Hui is making trouble, Xu Shrimp is really a little troubled.
In this kind of place, especially in the party, the relationship between men and women has always been more rigorous, which can be said to be a taboo, and now there is a Hao Rui outside and a Dou Hui in the office, which is equivalent to an abnormal relationship with two female colleagues in the same room, and it is estimated that the entire compound is unique. Hao Rui is okay, after all, it was an accident, and there is still a word in advance. Dou Hui sits face-to-face all day, and she has to be coaxed to come, going to work is almost like falling in love, it seems necessary to consider leaving this place.
Depressed all the way, Xu Shrimp came to a secluded place in the corridor and dialed Ji Ruomin's phone.
◇◇◇◇◇ just finished yesterday's event, and today I want to go to see Hao Rui with Dou Hui, the silly girl must be very careful. At the same time as Xu Xia called, he was mentally prepared.
Sure enough, as soon as Xu Shrimp made his intentions clear, Ji Ruomin reluctantly said: "Illness is illness, a cold and fever is not a serious illness, won't you go to work tomorrow, can you use it to see?" ”
Xu Shrimp said patiently: "I was injured a while ago, and everyone came to see me, so don't you just exchange courtesies." And the situation we are in, I chatted with you and chatted, the four gods can't get along with her all day long, as long as Dou Hui and I can talk to her, I can't look at it once I get sick, doesn't it make people feel cold? ”
Ji Ruomin reluctantly said: "You go and come back quickly, when you get there, you will come back quickly." ”
Xu Shrimp said: "Okay, okay, but Ruomin, we went to get off work at night, just in time for dinner, it is estimated that people will definitely leave us to eat, of course, I will try to ...... it."
Ji Ruomin was unhappy: "Everyone is sick, what else do you eat?" Didn't just eat it the night before. ”
Xu Xia hurriedly said: "I try not to eat it, for fear that it will be difficult to be warm." ”
Ji Ruomin pondered for a long time, and finally said, "Okay, I won't care about you tonight, and I'll give you a day off." Obviously unhappy, he hung up the phone directly.
Xu Xia took a long breath, shook his head and put away his mobile phone, and found a big vinegar jar, which was really not easy.
At half past three in the afternoon of ◇◇◇◇◇, Xu Shrimp and Dou Hui left work early and left in Xiao Shrimp's car.
The weather was exceptional, and the wind was warm and cool. Dou Hui leaned against the window, the expression on her face was happy and shy, and she looked at the people around her from time to time. Unlike the little shrimp, Dou Hui, who stabbed the stuffy gourd, let go instead, her delicate face rippled with a pretty and moving shyness, and the little beauty mole on her lips was all delicate.
There was a fruit shop not far from the municipal party committee, and the two got off the bus. To see a patient, although it is a representative of an individual, but he can't go empty-handed, Xiao Shrimp decided to put a fruit basket.
Due to the warmer weather, the fruit shop put a large number of fruits at the door, Xu Shrimp looked at it casually, and decided to put a big fruit basket according to the standard of 300 yuan. The excited Dou Hui followed and picked up, and Xu Shrimp stood on the side of the road and looked around.
There is a hotel 20 meters away from the fruit shop, a man and a woman hugged each other affectionately, talking and laughing out of it, and walked towards the door of a Mercedes-Benz 350.
Both of them are professionals, the woman is about thirty, she is very beautiful, dressed elegantly and luxuriously, and it is estimated that she is a gold-collar; The man is twenty-five or six, white and handsome, wearing small glasses, at first glance he looks like Wu Qihua, looking at his demeanor, he is also a successful person.
Xu Xia just looked at it casually, didn't care, turned his eyes to other places, turned his head for a moment, and suddenly saw the man looking at him, as if he saw something, and quickly withdrew his hand from the woman's body.
Xu Shrimp subconsciously turned around, and saw Dou Hui kicking her ass to pick fruits, woke up and turned back suddenly, and saw "Wu Qihua" and the gold-collar girl confessing two sentences, and strode over.
It was expected to be confirmed, and Xu Shrimp reminded: "Doudou." Then he gave him a look.
Dou Hui looked back at the man, put down the fruit in his hand, and stepped forward in surprise: "Why are you here?" ”
The man casually pointed back: "My boss and I were eating with customers at the hotel in front, and I came out just to see you." Then he glanced at Xiao Shrimp and asked, "Why didn't you go to work today?" ”
Dou Hui said calmly: "Our leader is sick, and he is going to buy some fruit to see." Xiang Xiaoxiao pointed to: "This is Secretary Xu of our unit." But he didn't introduce "Wu Qihua" to Xiao Shrimp.
The man took the initiative to stretch out his right hand: "It turned out to be Secretary Xu, hello, my name is Lin Dacai, and I am Doudou's boyfriend." ”
Xu Xia said politely: "Hello, I often hear Dou Hui mention it, I didn't think it was so coincidental." ”
Lin Dacai smiled and said, "Really? glanced at Dou Hui, took out another business card, and handed it to Xiao Shrimp with both hands.
Xu shrimp etiquette surname to see, see what is the deputy general manager and business manager of Manli high-tech company. Now many companies have this kind of name, except for guessing that Manli may be the name of the female boss, I don't know what this company does.
After continuing to say a few words, Lin Dacai said to Dou Hui: "Okay, Doudou, you go to see the leader, I happen to have something to do tonight, so I won't look for you." ”
Dou Hui said: "Okay, you are busy." ”
Lin Dacai shook hands with Xiao Shrimp again, then ran into the Mercedes-Benz and went in the other direction.
◇◇◇◇◇ Dou Hui watched him leave, gathered his sideburns, and continued to pick fruits, as if nothing had happened just now. Not only that, but during the whole process, Dou Hui didn't show even a trace of imaginary panic, as if facing a person he just knew or didn't know and didn't want to know.
Xu Shrimp was very surprised, and secretly frightened. Lin Dacai and the female boss's ambiguous behavior, Dou Hui didn't see it, and it is estimated that she shouldn't know, is the relationship between the two not good? After getting along for so long, even if they get together more, they are too indifferent, which is simply surprising and shocking.
The fruit basket was quickly loaded, Xu Shrimp was held to the back seat, and the two of them were back on the road.
Dou Hui was still leaning against the window, looking indifferently ahead, her originally shy and happy expression changed to a sad and calm one.
Xu Xia couldn't help but ask, "Doudou, what's wrong?" I was upset to see my boyfriend. ”
Dou Hui said stubbornly: "It's not about being unhappy, it's not about being happy, it's like that anyway." ”
Xu Xia couldn't bear to say: "You don't like him? ”
Maybe her boyfriend had already met with Xiao Shrimp, but Dou Hui didn't hide it anymore, and said very simply: "I don't like it." ”
Xu Xia frowned and said, "How come, haven't you all been two or three years?" ”
Dou Hui turned to face him, aggrieved and unwillingly: "It's not, I was only a sophomore at the time, I didn't understand anything, I was quite envious when I saw that others had boyfriends, there was a senior boy chasing, and I was still the best among the boys who chased me, so I felt very proud, and I agreed in a daze, but then I regretted it more and more, and I didn't know what to do, so I dragged it to the present." ”
Xu Xia didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to ask again: "Is he not good to you?" ”
Dou Hui laughed self-deprecatingly: "It's nothing good, he doesn't care about me at all, when I was a sophomore, he was already a senior, so I wanted to pick an honest one before graduation, I think I'm very honest, and I don't have much ability, I can rest assured when I stay at home, just look for me, that's all." ”
Xu Xia glanced at her unconsciously.
Dou Hui noticed it sensitively, and said unhappily: "Why do you look at me like this?" ”
Xu Xiahan said: "I didn't say anything, just take a look, isn't it normal?" ”
Dou Hui said coquettishly: "It's not okay to take a look!" That's what you mean, you just look down on me. ”
Xu Shrimp cried and laughed: "You said so pitifully, how could I look down on you?" I am friends with you, colleagues, and I don't know him, so in terms of intimacy, I must be on your side, how can I have that meaning? ”
Dou Hui didn't dwell on this question anymore, glanced at it and asked, "Then you say, should I break up with him?" ”
Xu Xia smiled bitterly: "Doudou, you ask me this question, how can I persuade peace or persuade to leave, isn't this difficult for me?" ”
Dou Hui said unhappily: "You just said that you don't know him, and you are friends and colleagues with me, and besides, you treat me as a sister, as an elder brother, why can't you give some advice on my sister's affairs?" ”
Xu Shrimp said solemnly: "Don't say it's my brother, it's my parents, what can I say?" The key is still in yourself. You haven't broken up with him for so long, which means that there is still a place for nostalgia, this is a major event in your life, whether it is a split or a harmony, you have to think about it clearly, not as a child's play. ”
Dou Hui was even more aggrieved: "I don't have any attachment to him at all, my intestines are repentant, and I wanted to break up when I was in my junior year, but my mother happened to be sick, and he helped a lot, so I was embarrassed, and I couldn't help it after that, so I was in a hurry." ”
Xu Shrimp didn't know how much Lin Dacai helped, but when he heard this, it was estimated that it was not small, and he couldn't be fooled, so he said: "This kind of thing, it's useless to be anxious, you still have to calm down and think clearly." ”
This obviously has the flavor of coping, Dou Hui complained: "People tell you so much, you are still perfunctory, too irresponsible." ”
Xu Shrimp thought to herself what this had to do with me, and said sincerely: "Doudou, this is not perfunctory, let alone irresponsible, your current mentality is easy to be misled, if it is really because of my words, you make an impulsive or regretful decision, it is really irresponsible." What you need now is not other people's advice, but to think about the bits and pieces of your relationship, rely on your own wisdom to judge, and then make a final decision. If you can't make up your mind about the events of your life, what right do you have to talk about happiness? ”
Dou Hui stopped talking, stared at him for a while, and suddenly pointed to his shoulder: "Pinch it twice here." ”
Xu Xiqi said: "What are you doing there?" ”
Dou Hui said seriously: "Every time you finish speaking, you always have to pat people on the shoulder, how can you be an exception to such an important matter?" ”
What's wrong with this? Xu Shrimp laughed and sneered, and squeezed her shoulder twice with her free right hand.
Dou Hui said encouragingly: "I have decided, sooner or later, I will share it with him, I must share it, you have to divide it, you just wait for my good news." ”
This was decided, Xu Xia felt that he had said a bunch of things in vain, and said patiently: "Doudou, emotional matters are not trivial, it is better to calm down, think about it carefully, and don't make a decision so quickly." ”
Dou Hui said: "I have already decided in my heart, as soon as you pinch me, I will have confidence, although I don't know what to do yet." ”
Xu Shrimp said stupidly: "I knew that pinching twice would have such a big effect, so I would have kicked you twice." ”
Dou Hui smiled and said happily: "You won't, I've seen through you." ”
Xu Xia wanted to know what she saw through him, but she was in no mood to ask. With the current situation, if Dou Huizhen breaks up with her boyfriend, she really has to go to work every day and fall in love.
