In fact, the reason why Director Wang didn't know Gu Yulan for so long was that in addition to Gu Yulan always consciously wearing a mask and a blue coat to cover herself, there were two other reasons: first, the identity of the cleaner was the lowest in the entire research institute, if it weren't for your own arrogance and rushing to show up, no one would look at you at all; Second, Gu Yulan doesn't like to socialize, as long as possible, she always deliberately avoids the sight of others.

The reason why Director Wang called Gu Yulan into his office in early September was precisely because he saw Gu Yulan when he went to Gu's house in August and had a crooked heart. Later, Director Wang found various reasons and opportunities to get close to Gu Yulan, and even went to the cleaning team at noon. Helplessly, Gu Yulan either avoided him or ignored him at all. Therefore, Director Wang's heart is inevitably angry and anxious.

People are sometimes like this: the more they don't deserve it, the more delusional they are; The more you can't get it, the more you want it.

Gu Yulan's man was gone long before her daughter was born. However, in the past 20 years, although there are dozens of men who have been introduced or taken the initiative to show favor to Gu Yulan, none of them have been recognized by Gu Yulan: no matter how good the man's conditions are, Gu Yulan has rejected them all; No matter how much the man who pursued her offered her courtesy, Gu Yulan politely refused.

Director Wang can be said to be windy and rainy in the research institute, and in front of the opposite sex, women always catch up with him. Therefore, in the face of Gu Yulan's deliberate avoidance, he was not only itchy, but also felt that his self-esteem had been hurt. Not only did he retreat without knowing the difficulties, but he made up his mind not to give up until he got Gu Yulan.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the conference held in the institute to leave Gu Yulan alone in the auditorium, and then approaching her in the name of inspection work, so that she could not hide, Wang Baiquan had been thinking about it for several days and had already decided.

When you enter through the south door of the auditorium, there is an east-west corridor, and through the corridor, you enter the hall where chairs are installed. As soon as the cleaning team finished their work and left, the people who had a meeting arrived one after another. There were quite a lot of people, and although most of them had cleared the soles of their shoes from the snow outside the gate, there was still a lot of snow on the floor of the corridor.

Gu Yulan was holding an iron basket with a beam in her left hand and a broom in her right hand, and she was watching the sweep in the corridor. After the meeting inside started, it was estimated that no one would come, Gu Yulan cleaned the corridor again, and seeing that the ground was clean, she decided to sit down and take a breath.

The auditorium can accommodate more than 600 people, and there are only two or three hundred people who come to the meeting, and Gu Yulan knows that there are empty seats inside. If it were someone else, whether it was for rest or curiosity, they would choose to sit down in the venue. Gu Yulan didn't. She already knew from others that today's academic annual meeting was held, and only experts, scholars, and researchers from the institute attended. Although she is not afraid of others listening to such a meeting, she thinks that she is not worthy of listening and should not be heard.

From the two ends of the corridor on the south side of the auditorium, turn north, and there is a vertical corridor on the east and west sides. Because the toilet is in the west, there are many people who go, so Gu Yulan came to the east. The eastern gallery was empty.

Gu Yulan thought: "It's just right here, you can rest without leaving your post, and you can avoid Wang Baiquan." ”

There is a row of chairs against the east wall. Gu Yulan put the dustpan in front of the chair, leaned on the dustpan, and sat down by herself.

After working for most of the morning, although I didn't feel tired, it was much better to be able to sit down than to stand at the door. However, not long after sitting down, Gu Yulan couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard the footsteps and looked up: Wang Baiquan is here.

The moment she saw Wang Baiquan, Gu Yulan immediately realized that she was wrong, and thought: "I'm so stupid!" There were a lot of people in the hall, I should be there, not here. "This corridor has only a way to come, no way to go, there is a wall at the end, and the security door between the corridor and the hall is locked inside, so Gu Yulan has nowhere to hide or retreat.

Wang Baiquan went straight to the east corridor as soon as he came to the auditorium from the General Affairs Office. Since he hadn't seen Gu Yulan there before, why could he find it so accurately? It turned out that in the past few months, he has put a lot of effort into conducting a serious investigation and analysis of Gu Yulan, not only completely clarifying the situation of the Gu family, but also knowing that Gu Yulan's personality is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, withdrawn and arrogant. Therefore, he calculated that after he stayed, Gu Yulan would either be guarding the door of the corridor or in the side corridor to the west or east. The west side corridor has a toilet, and there are many people coming and going, so Gu Yulan is the most likely in the east side corridor. Sure enough, as soon as he turned around from the corridor, he saw Gu Yulan sitting on a chair in the side corridor. At this moment, Wang Baiquan is not only a little proud of his cleverness, but also full of confidence and hope for the upcoming success.

Seeing Wang Baiquan getting closer and closer, Gu Yulan first instinctively stood up, then sat down again, and fell on the dustpan.

Wang Baiquan came to Gu Yulan, stood for half a minute, and saw that Gu Yulan in front of him was still silent, as if he didn't see him, so he had to lower his voice and ask, "Do you know why I deliberately left you here today?" ”

Seeing that Gu Yulan didn't squeak as if she hadn't heard it, she said again: "You are talking!" ”

Gu Yulan said lightly: "I am a sweeper, of course you left me to clean." ”

Wang Baiquan said: "It's true that you are sweeping the floor, but I deliberately left you here today not to clean up, but to tell you two things." ”

After speaking, he stared at Gu Yulan, waiting for her to speak. In his mind, whether it was out of curiosity or out of sophistication, when she said that she had two things to tell Gu Yulan, she would definitely ask what it was. However, to Wang Baiquan's surprise, Gu Yulan not only didn't say a word, but also didn't even express the slightest curiosity, and was so calm that it was almost cold and numb.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Gu Yulan still didn't say anything, Wang Baiquan had to speak by himself and said, "The first thing is that I want to transfer you out of the cleaning team and work in the office." In the cleaning group, it is dirty and tiring, and I earn less. It's different when you enter the office, it's both casual and decent, and the bonus is much higher than that of the cleaning team. ”

It's a real temptation. Whoever it is, they will see it as a great thing to leave the cleaning team to go to the office, so they are surprised and delighted. There aren't many such opportunities. Especially Gu Yulan, only the first Chinese, this kind of opportunity is even more unique. Before Wang Baiquan said the above words, he thought that Gu Yulan would be moved when he heard about it, but he didn't expect his words to be said, but Gu Yulan didn't say it, and was completely indifferent. Wang Baiquan was a little confused. Although he said at the beginning that he wanted to tell Gu Yulan two things, he thought that this first thing alone would impress Gu Yulan and make her happy and grateful, and the other thing was to prepare the icing on the cake, so he didn't expect her to be in this state at all.

Time passed minute by minute, seeing Gu Yulan like a sculpture, Wang Baiquan had to suppress the dissatisfaction and uneasiness in his heart, and then said: "The second thing is that I have an empty house in my hand, although it is not big, only one and a half rooms, but it has gas and heating, which is much better than the house you live in." These days, when I think of the shabby house you live in, I ...... Next year's building plan has been approved, and I will definitely help you get a two-bedroom apartment at that time. ”

Wang Baiquan has been staring at Gu Yulan intently. Seeing that she didn't make a sound, there was a knot in her heart. After seeing Gu Yulan glance at him, he thought that his words had taken effect, and thought: "I'll just say, there is no woman who can't be moved by money and things." At the same time, not only did his heart beat faster, but his face also showed pride, saying, "As long as you are good with me, I will never let you suffer." Then, he handed the key out of his coat pocket to Gu Yulan and said, "This is the door key, you take it, and now I will take you to see it." Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest, I'll arrange for a car to help you move your home. ”

This transfer of work and arranging the house was a good idea that Wang Baiquan came up with with great effort. He was sure that in the face of such affordable and lucrative benefits, there would be no woman who would not be tempted. However, the smugness on Wang Baiquan's face quickly froze, because he held the key for a long time, but Gu Yulan not only didn't answer it, but didn't even look at it, and his eyes still stayed on the dustpan.

Wang Baiquan first turned back and looked at the road, and then whispered: "Take it quickly, don't let people see it." ”

Gu Yulan finally spoke, saying: "I've been sweeping the floor for 10 years, it's good, I don't want to change jobs; I've lived in Xiaonanyu for almost 20 years, and I'm used to it, and I don't want to move. ”

Wang Baiquan thought that he had heard it wrong, so he was stunned for half a minute before he said, "You...... You say it's good to sweep the floor, but that's not true; You said that you are used to living in Xiao Nanyu, how is this possible? His voice changed a little, and he paused and continued: "Thinking that there are many people working in the office, you really don't grasp such an opportunity?" Do you know how many people are looking for relationships and gifts but can't get into the office? Don't you know that I deliberately lost a position in order to transfer you to the office? As for the house, there are even more people who want it. Only you...... However, I can keep the key for you until you figure it out. ”

Gu Yulan was still faint and said, "There's no need to be so troublesome." I was born to sweep the floor, to live in an old house, so don't waste any more time on me. ”

Wang Baiquan was a little excited and said, "Gu Yulan, I really don't understand, such a good condition, such a good opportunity, such a good ...... Why aren't you sure? You've been without a man for years, right...... Besides, if you follow me, you don't have to worry about being known by others, and no one can think that we are together. ”

Gu Yulan finally raised her head, looked at Wang Baiquan, and said, "Director Wang, don't say any more." It's true that I'm a weak woman, it's true that I'm poor and I don't have a good house. But no matter how humble I am, no matter how poor I am, I will not do such shameless things. ”

Wang Baiquan's face flushed. He took back the hand that had handed the key.
