Chapter 199: I Was Left Out (Three Watches)
I'm not a saint, Shen Man's sudden return to the Nantong store hit me hard, I spent the whole day in a blur, I couldn't find my work status at all, and I didn't complete the work task that I could have completed in half a day after getting off work for an hour.
I stared at the computer screen in a daze, crumpled the cigarette case with cigarettes in my hand, and fell into the garbage basket in hatred.
I closed my eyes and leaned back in my chair, some chaotic images flashed in my brain, and I became more irritable, but the phone rang in my irritability.
I picked up the phone, didn't look at the number, and then answered the phone: "Hey, who's it?" Because of irritability, my tone was so impatient that I didn't even say "hello".
The other end of the phone was stunned before asking, "Zhang Yixi, what's wrong with you, aren't you happy?" ”
I heard that it was Chen Qingyi's voice, and finally slowed down and replied, "No, I'm a little tired, is there something wrong?" ”
"Sister Shen Man is back, I set up several tables in Tianxiang Pavilion today to invite my former friends, and I was also invited to participate, but I didn't find you at the scene, so I was a little curious and called you to ask about it."
Chen Qingyi's words made me speechless, I really didn't receive Shen Man's banquet notice, and I stopped for a long time before I said to Chen Qingyi: "I have something to do tonight, and I can't go." After I finished speaking, my heart was full of helplessness, I didn't want others to know that I had a violent conflict with Shen Man, it was like a family ugliness that could not be publicized, even if I was extremely dissatisfied, but in my heart, I still regarded Shen Man as my own relative, after all, I had a relationship of 6 years of getting along day and night.
"Oh, then if you have something to do, I won't bother, bye!"
"Bye-bye ......"
After finishing the call with Chen Qingyi, I came to the window, I wanted to see what the dusk looked like, the lazy and soft sunlight at the moment might make me quieter, but when I opened the curtains, I found that the night had come...... Before I knew it, the city was once again shrouded in darkness.
I opened the window, and a wave of heat came to my face, and I lit a cigarette against the heat, but I only took two puffs, and the cigarette was no longer fragrant, and I was in a trance, and I didn't know how to smoke it......
I was holding a cigarette between my index and middle fingers, my thumb was pressing against my temple, and my head ached, but I couldn't tell if it was anger or tiredness!
The city at night is so sultry, this night, how many people, in such a night, live a luxurious, bright nightlife, but I was isolated on the edge of the city, I can only feel the silence of the night lonely, but I can't participate in singing and dancing!
.......
After standing for a while, my phone rang again, I exhaled the bitter breath accumulated in my heart, ready to answer the call with the most peaceful mind, I understand: I can't let negative emotions overwhelm my mind, I am in a competitive disadvantage, only keep a cool head, maybe I can win a glimmer of life for myself!
This time, I answered the phone without looking at the number, but my tone was very calm: "Hey, hello! ”
"Do you need to be so polite with me?" Guan Ying's very capable voice came from the other end of the phone.
"It's you, Sister Guan Ying!"
"Well, come to Tianxiang Pavilion Restaurant, we are all here." Guan Ying rarely said to me in a calm tone.
"Forget it, I don't think I'm that popular." I said to Guan Ying with emotion, at least the host of this dinner party did not invite me.
When I refused, Guan Ying's tone became unhappy again: "What, I invited you, do you want to refuse?" ”
I didn't compromise because of Guan Ying's oppressive tone, and still kept a calm tone and said: "I just don't want to be that uninvited guest, leave me alone, you can have fun." ”
"I asked you to come, who dares to say that you are an uninvited guest~~~ If you refuse again, it will seem a bit of a mother-in-law." Guan Ying's tone could not be refused.
Her words had come to this point, and if I refused again, I would seem to be at a loss, and after thinking about it, I finally said, "Well, I'll go over ......."
......
Tianxiang Pavilion Restaurant is ten minutes away from our company, and soon I drove to the destination, there are many familiar cars parked in the parking lot, just by these cars I know how many people Shen Man invited tonight, her social circle is really huge and staggering, I am a little discouraged, I have an angular personality, and Shen Man is more than a grade worse in the handling of interpersonal relationships, I may not care about these before, but when our relationship becomes a competitor, I am especially concerned about the comparison between myself and Shen Man, Even a small detail can cause me to feel worried.
I walked down the corridor to the 2nd floor, and suddenly all the eyes in the hall focused on me, which was not surprising, because I was the last to arrive, I made an apologetic gesture to everyone, expressing my apologies for being late, so I ignored all the eyes, looked around, trying to find a vacant seat for myself, and finally I found two empty seats in an inconspicuous corner, I walked to the corner without squinting, and at this moment I didn't even have a single eye contact with Shen Man, who was sitting at the head of the table.
After taking a seat, I began to look at the people around me, this table is basically an ordinary employee of our company, the further forward, the more celebrities in the society are sitting, especially Shen Man's table, sitting are leaders from all walks of life, as well as two leaders of the Commerce and Trade Bureau, and Guan Ying and Chen Qingyi are also at the same table with her, and the prince is sitting with the people of their company, as for Mr. Gao, he is naturally sitting at Shen Man's table, a meal, it is divided into three, six, nine and so on, although it is no strange, but the heart is still very repulsive, this rejection, I naturally fell into silence, reluctant to say a word.
.......
The dinner party began soon, Shen Man was naturally the protagonist of this banquet, she handled the extremely complex interpersonal network in my opinion with ease, she sometimes smiled, sometimes listened carefully, sometimes witty, the atmosphere of the banquet did not appear a trace of coldness under her drive, and I sat in the small corner that only belonged to me, and there was no speech.
Shen Man took the drink and began to toast from table to table, all eyes were focused on her again, and at this moment she was like a bright goddess in the crowd.
"Mr. Hu, I am honored that you can come to my banquet, how is your work lately?" Shen Man said to the general manager of the 4S store of another brand.
The man known as Mr. Hu hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Originally, my work has been going well, but Mr. Shen, when you return to Buick, I will be under great pressure, I hope you can raise your noble hand and show mercy!" With that, he drank the wine in his glass.
Shen Man said with a smile in the workplace: "Mr. Hu, you are too serious, there is competition to be motivated, and I hope to be able to encourage you and create good results together in the future." After speaking, he also took a sip of the drink in the cup, nodded with Mr. Hu, and walked to another table.
.......
As Shen Man walked towards our table, the banquet also began to come to an end, and watching Shen Man approach little by little, my emotions began to become complicated!
