Chapter 92: Gossip
"I don't know. I squeeze the subway every day to get to work. "The other girl doesn't look like a gossip much.
"Several people saw it. It seems that Mu Niannian and Cheng are always old classmates and very familiar. The girl stopped, asked the other girl curiously, and said, "Even if it's an old classmate, it's still a little strange to get out of the same car for work, right?" β
"How?"
"It's okay if you go back together after work, but go to work? Who has time to pick up other people from work early in the morning, and everyone lives so far away from the company. The girl washed her hands and stood next to her and gossiped with the other girl.
"Maybe it's close." The other girl reminded. Both of them washed their hands and stood by the sink to rest.
"Ahh How did I not think of that? It's an old classmate again, and they live close together, so they won't already live together, right?! The girl laughed exaggeratedly, for her own clever discovery.
"Unlikely, right? Mu Niannian also has a daughter. The girl didn't believe it.
"Maybe it's Mr. Cheng's daughter!" The girl said mysteriously: "Otherwise, why hasn't he been married, and he hasn't been in love, so good and capable, people who want to sleep with him grab a lot of them." β
"That's right. Mr. Cheng is so serious in the company, he never says a word to his female subordinates, he is serious like a saint, and it turns out that his "wife" is by his side. The other girl also gossiped and laughed.
"Haha. That's so pitiful. It's a shame that they usually pretend not to know each other, but in private, they have known each other for a long time, and they are still old friends. The girl laughed and continued, "Do you know how Mu Niannian climbed up? β
"How did you climb up?" Another girl curious?
"It's all up to Mr. Cheng." The girl lowered her voice and said softly, "Otherwise, how could Mu Niannian rise so fast?" I've been in the company longer than her, and I haven't moved. β
"Yes. I've heard about it too. The other girl also lowered her voice and said softly.
Mu Niannian squatted inside, although there was a door, but she heard it clearly, who told the two girls to turn off the water, who told her that Mu Niannian was very good at hearing?
When the two girls saw that it was time to get off work, they hurriedly went out to get their things and went home. Mu Niannian came out of the toilet, slowly walked to the sink, and turned on the faucet.
The sound of running water was loud and resounded all around her. She couldn't hear anything else.
"That's how everyone thinks of me?! Hehe......" Mu Niannian smiled bitterly while washing his hands.
After grinding in the toilet for a while, when Mu Niannian came out, the other colleagues were basically gone. There were only three or two left, also packing up their things and preparing to leave.
"Sister Mu. I'm leaving. The handsome guy greeted Mu Niannian.
"Good. Great work. Mu Niannian also greeted with a smile.
"Sister Mu, you should go back and rest early." After the handsome man finished speaking, he walked out with this brisk step.
Mu Niannian looked at the empty and huge office, and his mood calmed down. Mu Niannian came to Cheng Xiwen's office, helped him clean up his desk, and then closed the door. Cheng Xiwen left in a hurry in the morning, and he didn't return to the office today, so he must have something to leave.
When there is something, he will go out to receive customers for a day, and a day for the shareholders' meeting. And if she hadn't followed Cheng Xiwen, it would be her assistant's responsibility to help him solve the rest of the matter, just like not letting him be disturbed by the office affairs and rushing over now. These are all things she should do, she is not ambiguous at work, she has never let Cheng Xiwen let go of water, as an assistant, she is very responsible and dedicated, not a sentence that they know can be summarized.
"Why can't people see it?" Mu Niannian asked herself silently, but she couldn't answer.
She remembered that when she used to work in China, she also loved to gossip and chat with other colleagues in the toilet. Those uncertain things that were speculated were that their speculations back then were too unclean. It was still too naΓ―ve back then.
After Mu Niannian closed Cheng Xiwen's office, he closed his office and went out with his bag. After thinking about it for a while, she felt much better now. She didn't get depressed because of this, she didn't have the right to say anything or guess what others? It's just that this makes her better understand what others think of her, which makes Cheng Xiwen very embarrassed. He is the most innocent.
Mu Niannian didn't have the heart to think about it anymore, so he got off the elevator and went to the underground parking lot to pick up the car. I put on my favorite music and started the car to drive towards the slowly setting sunset.
Mu Niannian drove very slowly, first, the time was not in a hurry today, and he got off work earlier than usual. The second is that she can't control herself from thinking nonsense.
The shock of seeing Gucci unexpectedly yesterday has not yet eased, and I will think of him from time to time, and it is useless to hint at myself. The second is that Cheng Xiwen's words are still around her ears this morning, and it seems that he is serious.
Gucci she didn't want to have anything to do with him for a long time, but after all, the previous things really happened, and there was no way to leave traces. She wanted to forget but couldn't, like a joke played by God, there was a thread that always pulled her steps to move forward, and then told her that it was useless. She had been hiding from thinking about it, like an ostrich with its head buried in the desert, thinking that in this way she could avoid the whole world.
But when she saw him, she realized that she had never forgotten him, and that those wounds would not heal automatically because she did not touch them, but buried them deep in a dark and damp place, and they would only become moldy and deteriorate, and would never scar. It's good that you know the problems you've been running away from, and it's time to face them.
Put those deeply hidden wounds, put them in the sun, sprinkle them with medicine powder to stop bleeding, and face the pain that they have not dared to face before, and they always have to face it, and you can't escape. Storms are always coming, and if you don't experience the crippling of the storm, how can you see the rainbow hiding behind?
Mu Niannian finally realized that he was still the same Mu Niannian as before, and he had not grown at all. Such a situation was something she didn't expect, but it wasn't something that could be solved by hiding from Gucci. She can't hide from Gucci all the time, right? Although she thought so before yesterday, she wanted to do the same. Now it seems impossible.
Now that they have encountered it, it is still in the workplace, and it seems that there will be many more situations in the future. Such a bidding meeting is held every year, and she is now Cheng Xiwen's assistant, and she has to follow him at any time, and the situation will definitely be a certainty. Maybe it won't be long before the two of them meet again, as companions.
Mu Niannian thought about how to escape from him again. The only way was to quit, but she finally settled in New York and found a good job, enough to support herself and Xiaojie.
But where did she go after quitting? If she is still in New York, she must need to find another job, and the best and most convenient job is to continue to be the assistant to the president, so that she must follow the new president to attend the bidding meeting, the meeting of the bigwigs. In the same circle, she will still meet Gucci.
I haven't met Gucci a few years ago, and it must be that he hasn't come to New York yet, but I met him at the biggest tender this year, and it seems that he has just come to New York and is ready to do a big job here. If she guessed correctly, then they were still in the same circle, no matter how she hid, they would still meet, but they just changed companies and bosses.
If she leaves New York, she will leave Gucci, but where will she leave New York? If you continue to stay in the United States, you will have to face the poor life at the beginning. Going to another country, it is even more troublesome, she has to adapt to a new work life, and Xiaojie has to leave the familiar environment, follow her to transfer schools, and start from scratch.
There are no more friends for her in other countries, and there is no Cheng Xiwen to help her. How to return home? That's not a self-imposed net, Gucci can find her in minutes, and what was he going abroad for?
Another way is to do different jobs, but not to mention other jobs that she is not familiar with. With Mu Niannian's ruthlessness, she will do well, but she will definitely be able to find other jobs, and the salary must be higher than now? You must know that it took five years for her to get to her current position, and she was lucky to be here.
Starting from scratch and mixing in another industry for another five years? Mixing for five years doesn't necessarily mean mixing well. If she is transferred within the company, none of the other jobs she can do have the same salary as she has now.
The main thing is that she also has to raise Xiaojie, provide her with education and clothing, and solve the problem of water and electricity in the house. She can suffer, but Xiaojie can't, she has no money, and soon they will be living on the streets, and then they will struggle to survive on the poor handouts.
She couldn't imagine this, because if she quit her job now and didn't find a job for three months, they would have no money to eat. Xiaojie can't afford to go to school, and the consumption level in New York is so high, she basically earns and spends as much as she wants every month, and she doesn't save any money. Although they didn't save any money, they were living a good life.
Even if Mu Niannian did it, he left New York, left the United States, and quickly adapted to other countries and found a job like now. The salary is also high, and you can support yourself and Xiaojie, but what if you meet Gucci again? Will he run away like a deserter forever, hiding in a place where Gucci will never find him?
Like those rats that live in dark and filthy sewers, forever coming out to forage at night when they are empty? If Gucci had always been awake during the day, she would have decided to stay out of the sun forever, always sneaking around and being careful not to let him find out? As soon as he found out, he was scared half to death and moved immediately.
What's the best of all but moving from a sewer to a basement? Forever hiding like this, not going up to the ground, and dragging her daughter Xiaojie?
