Chapter 3 Hide Your Thoughts
To be honest, the boss may be the only one in the whole company who spends his days on pins and needles, and the rest of the people are a little happy and idle, and some secretly start to look for another direction in private.
Diving birds belong to the former, and when they go to work in the office, they turn on the computer, browse the web, and find someone to talk nonsense on QQ, so they spend time. Such a time is a bit decadent, but there is no reason to refuse such a good thing as being able to drink drinking water that does not cost money, access the Internet that does not cost money, and have a salary.
But if the shadow around you is gone, such a day becomes unusually long.
But the shadow began to be often gone, not late, not a little late, often at noon, or simply not even a shadow for a day. He didn't understand why his boss indulged her like that.
She has almost become a special case in the office.
He began to be desperate to know her whole life, what kind of house she lived in, how her bedroom was furnished, what books she read, what she did during her breaks...... Usually they often talked to each other, and he always listened silently on the side, paying special attention to her affairs, and bits and pieces could piece together a vague picture: she lived alone in an old-fashioned apartment; usually likes to sleep, which can be seen in the unit, when she is always lying there in the afternoon, as if she can never wake up; She likes to read, all of them are unfathomable books, basically he can't touch them, so her thoughts always seem different from all women's esoteric and complex; She seems to have had more than one boyfriend before, but anyway, she is still single and alone, and she doesn't seem to want to get married. She has a serious cleanliness habit and is said to have a spotless home; She has a strange taste in dressing, basically unlike most girls, a pair of men's boots can last all seasons; She owns a lot of jewelry, as if it was a fetish of hers, but it's a bit unexpected that a woman like her is so obsessed with jewelry; She has a good figure, tall and tall, her skin is so white that she can even see her blood vessels, she looks like a typical beautiful woman, but she has a hard character, even a little cold......
In any case, such a woman, as long as any man has seen or come into contact with it, will think that she is a woman with a more elusive personality. Later, I heard that her boyfriend, who had been in love with her for a long time, was married to another woman, and it was she who generously revealed the news to the entire office. She doesn't seem to be affected too much, she still lives alone, and she doesn't seem to crave love.
Why do women not crave love?
Diving birds have always been weird.
After leaving that magazine for a long, long time, the diving birds have been busy surviving. Many things in the world are like this, you think it's safe, but hidden dangers are born. The diving bird always thought that he could stay in this magazine for a while, but what he didn't expect was that the end of this period would come so quickly. However, I still spent a relatively pleasant half a year.
From the bottom of their hearts, diving birds are quite tired of this wandering city life. But he couldn't find the end, he couldn't see hope, and he didn't even know what tomorrow would bring. Fortunately, he still has a place to live, and it is said that many people who come to the city to make a living do not even have a place to live.
Some people really become wanderers.
These vagrants are not different from begging, they have education, dignity, and ideals, but these are not used here, or in this era.
In this era, academic qualifications are only the first cornerstone to success, and of course it is not possible to do without this cornerstone, but to really lead to success, this cornerstone alone is not at all useful, and more foreshadowing needs to come from the complex group relationship in this society.
The diving bird knows that many of his classmates have a better life than him, because they are already in a good social group relationship since they were born, and the road to growth can be said to be just a blueprint for planning, which has already been simulated, and you just need to go on smoothly with peace of mind.
The growth path of the diving bird is full of too many uncertainties, family, social, international, any accident will bring him a fatal blow, which means that everything has to start from scratch.
Fortunately, the diving bird is not a pessimist, he still thinks more openly about reality, and he is really depressed, just watch a movie for one night, and he can also find some relief from the illusory world, for reality, for love.
Although he has not experienced love at all in reality, in his other world, he has followed the movie characters through countless loves, failures, successes, joys, revenge, love and hatred in the world, and in the end, it is still a taste: loneliness.
He often feels lost after a movie, this confusion comes from the world inside of himself, as if completely isolated from this world, everywhere is indifference, hostility, mockery, no one will care about the existence of others, just like those stray cats downstairs, they are either driven away, or ignored, although they are dissatisfied with the city, but they are destined to be weak, and the weak have no possibility of resisting.
Yes, he is the same, carrying a bag every day, running from one end of the city to the other, just looking for a job to live on. When work has become a pressure that must be faced for survival, the distance from dreams and happiness has become a world away.
The diving bird no longer thinks about any dreams, he only thinks about where to get next month's rent. The problem is that many employers are fooling people who are looking for jobs in the name of recruitment.
He even couldn't stand to sit in the bright office, on the sofa and chair, those weird faces that were reflected by the blue light of the computer screen, they looked at you casually, like God looks at the stupid elect, the tone is so false, so indifferent, full of suspicion and contempt for all your experiences, of course, if you are really a capable person, how can you sit in front of me and wait for my interrogation? Looking forward to my choice?
The interview became a humiliation and torture. But voters are always getting more and more numb. Those who waited patiently in the conference room outside, all in straight suits, with glazed eyes, did not know what they were thinking or what they were waiting for. Almost everyone's expression is the same, maybe from the moment you enter the company building, a fixed procedure and pattern begins to integrate and rub everyone, like pinching plasticine to be reorganized, and then in order to come out of a membrane. The first thing to show is humility, even to the chick who is chatting on the phone at the front desk to maintain absolute piety and respect, naturally patience is essential.
No matter how long you wait, you have to be absolutely quiet, without dissatisfaction or surprise. Usually an interview can take several hours, but in some cases, it can take longer if you have to take the exam on the spot. The more time passes, the more torturous it undoubtedly becomes. Often turned upside down, when I walked out of the building, it was already dusk, and an inexplicable abruptness arose. In the face of this high-rise and colorful city, all I feel is despair and helplessness, and there is not even a place to cry.
Walking on the lights of the night, the day is fruitless, the night is bound to be long and painful, to rekindle the hope of tomorrow, you must watch some interesting movies at night. Otherwise, I really want to fall straight down from a 20-story building.
The gates of hell are always open, Amen!
Hell is already full of ghosts, so many that they are about to break through the prison doors. Satan is starting to be seriously dissatisfied with God, and you are in charge! Amen!
That day, the diving bird came out of a company, called the butterfly, and said a few casual words. They had been separated for a long time, and they had seen each other occasionally, but it was just a reunion of old colleagues. Still single and seemingly unjustified, Butterfly is busy constructing her own world, which is simple: creation, pets, and a meticulous daily life.
Sometimes the diving bird is really envious of the butterfly's life, why can she live so moisturized, yes, this kind of moisturization can be seen from her face, in fact, she is not young, she is a woman in her thirties, but she still looks more tender than those girls in their twenties.
Another colleague of his, who was a year younger than him, looked like an aunt and was truly speechless.
Yes, butterflies are doing well. Every time she saw a butterfly, she looked radiant, as if time could not leave a mark on her face. It's so jealous.
The butterfly, which was the shadow of his heart, completely disappeared from his world two years ago. Not long after he left the magazine, maybe a few months, the butterfly also left, the butterfly didn't do anything, of course, he didn't know what the butterfly was doing, one moment he heard that she was contributing to the magazine, one moment he heard that she was working on a documentary, and the other time he heard that he was starting to do something else. Anyway, people in this world are changing, and yesterday, today and tomorrow, people can't step into the same river.
They have very little contact, basically no contact, but the only thing that has not changed is that every time they meet at a party, there is always a kind of cordiality and warmth in their hearts, and there is no crampedness and embarrassment after a long absence. Butterflies still like to laugh like that, and sometimes like to use him as an object of teasing and mockery, but apparently without malice.
They were a little careful when they talked to each other, which was not visible to others, but he knew that the butterfly should know it too. His gaze occasionally bumps into butterflies, and he hopes to catch something in a moment, but unfortunately butterflies are also extremely cautious people, so naturally they don't openly expose their emotions to their eyes. The eyes are one of the most unsafe places, and the culprit for the fastest leak of secrets is undoubtedly the eyes. The mouth always says the opposite of the heart, and the heart is layered, and sometimes even I can't figure it out. The expression is that of a patient who has escaped from a mental hospital, but he just twitches the muscles of his face. Some people look like they're laughing, but they're not laughing because their muscles are a little out of control. This kind of joke is undoubtedly a bit overdone.
The more she hid something, the more the diving bird became aware of the turbulent waves beneath her heart lake.
He thought to himself: Sooner or later, this wave will definitely tear this peaceful world apart.
On a few occasions, he should have been able to get the opportunity to be alone with the butterfly, but God is not beautiful, it always backfires, and when they are separated, they can't even intersect their goodbye eyes. He could clearly feel the hypocritical smile behind the butterfly's pretended laughter, the false disregard, and the deep disappointment and helplessness. She must have been lost on the way. This point cannot escape the keen eyes of diving birds.
