Chapter 55: There Is No Free Lunch

A divorced woman is like a cake with a trace of sweet cream that is about to expire, which will attract all kinds of flies and flying insects, especially for women in their thirties who are still a little beautiful or attractive to men.

Since the news of Su Xia's divorce spread, although she didn't know that the "path" flowed out. What she knows for sure is that in addition to the solemnity, it is the surroundings, Sun Qi, and Zhao Siqi, these three people support the low, middle and high levels of workers, and their mouths are not too strict, so no matter where or what way it comes from, it is not surprising.

The relationship with the surroundings is better, so even if you don't intend to say it, it won't be a bad remark for Su Xia, but Sun Qi and Zhao Siqi's version can't be guaranteed. Su Xia didn't want to think about it, she was powerless to reverse it and didn't bother to pay attention to it, she only focused on doing a good job every day and living her own life.

When Su Xia was originally in a department, she had always taken care of her, but later Su Xia was transferred to no longer a department, and there was no overlap in the work content, so there was not much contact, but since she confirmed the news of the divorce with Su Xia that night, she seemed to care more about her, and she would make a phone call and chat a few words every once in a while.

I called again before I got off work today.

"I'll treat you to dinner in the evening." This surprised Su Xia, he is a well-known "iron rooster" in the whole unit, he has worked for more than ten years, and there are only a handful of people who eat him.

"Yo yo, let me see, where does the sun come out today?" Su Xia deliberately teased.

"Hey, look down on me." The surroundings deliberately raised their confidence and said, and then the conversation changed, "It's really not me who treats, hehe......"

"Who's invited?"

"Director Zhang, please, let me invite you."

"Why do you want to have a treat?"

"Department dinner."

"What are you calling me for a dinner party?"

Although Su Xia struggled in that department, after all, he no longer belonged to that department, and he and Director Zhang did not eat and drink in private.

"It's a dinner, a lot of people in Corey are going, and some are transferred, so I'm calling you too."

"Who are they?"

There were some familiar names around Su Xia, among which there was also a colleague who was transferred to the same post as her, Su Xia thought, "They are all colleagues, and the director has invited them by name, so it's not appropriate not to go." Thinking of this, Su Xia still felt a little excited that she seemed to be mixing well, and it was not cold when people walked to tea, "It means that people are still thinking about you." ”

The point is that today is Friday, and the time is okay. Since breaking up with Su Cheng, except for occasional appointments with Nanxin and Li Mo, the rest of the night has been spent in hygiene, laundry and various housework, and by the way, video chatting with her mother Xia Qin and sister Su Yu.

"You don't always have to do housework at home, you have a weekend with friends."

"Don't stay at home by yourself, go out and make a few new friends."

……

Ms. Xia Qin's implication was to say: "It's good to arrange a blind date on the weekend." ”

Hey, let's go out and get together as she likes today, saving Ms. Xia Qin from always worrying that Su Xia will break out at any time due to her bumpy love road and unhappy marriage, and her brain can't imagine the tragic situation of jumping off a building or being lonely for life.

So happily agreed: "Okay, what time is it?" ”

"Six o'clock, at Li Lin's home cooking."

"Okay, then I'll go straight over after work."

"I'll pick you up?"

"No, I'll drive myself."

"And you're picking me up?"

"It's shameless."

"Haha......"

After getting off work, Su Xia picked up the surroundings and arrived at the designated restaurant together.

As soon as I entered the private room, there were already more than a dozen people sitting around, and I was surprised that there was Xue Gang.

Who is Xue Gang?

Xue Gang is from the District Industrial and Commercial Bureau, about forty or fifty years old, except for his dark face, his figure is quite dignified, but his eyebrows and eyes are always greasy and obscene.

Su Xia first met him from a dinner. Some of the business of Suxia units always need to deal with the industrial and commercial bureau, and they also need all kinds of cooperation, so when the eight regulations of the central government have not been strictly implemented, they will often organize various dinners to enhance feelings. At that time, the person in charge of the industrial and commercial bureau who was in charge of the contact between the two units was Xue Gang, at most it was a section level, at that time, about seven or eight years ago, Su Xia was still in the office, and was arranged to have dinner with the government department, Su Xia was one of the accompanying personnel, responsible for some service work. It was at that dinner that I met this person. After eating, I had to go to KTV to sing, in the dead of night, after three rounds of drinking, Su Xia found that this person was not as majestic and dignified as when he was eating, revealing obscenity, Su Xia handed the microphone and touched his hand intentionally or unintentionally, Su Xia's disgust for that group of people was born.

Su Xia's unit has a sanatorium in Beidaihe, and later arranged for this group of people to eat, drink and have fun for two days, of course, nominally to hold a work communication and coordination meeting, and the office is responsible for arranging and coordinating, Su Xia was specially called to the office by the then section chief.

"You talk to your family in the past two days, go to Beidaihe, ask Mr. Xue and them, you and Xiao He will do some logistics support work in the past."

Su Xia had heard about this in advance from private. I'm not sure if I'll let her go, she's worried that if she is allowed to go, her heart is extremely refusal, and she hates it when she thinks about the greasy appearance. So Su Xia had an idea and thought of countermeasures in advance.

"Leader, I've been married for two or three years, I'm in a hurry to have a child, I'm preparing for pregnancy, I can't drink, and I'm not in good health recently, and I'm recuperating." Su Xia said very aggrieved.

"Okay, I'll let Xiao He and Xiao Wu go."

"Thank you, Director, for taking care of you."

Later, when Xiao He and Xiao Wu came back, they said to Su Xia: "Sister Xia, fortunately you didn't go, those people are too dishonest." ”

"Especially the one surnamed Xue, who moves his hands and feet when he eats."

"The hand touched my thigh, and I kicked it away, and I died of nausea."

"I'm so envious that you didn't go."

"We won't go next time, it's disgusting."

Su Xia was glad that he was wise and had such a good idea at that time, so he also knew very well what kind of person Xue Gang was.

Su Xia saw him at a glance, his round and dark face was too recognizable, and there were two strange men beside him, it should be from their unit.

Xue Gang also saw Su Xia and immediately said, "Su Xia, right?" The greeting question said, "It's been a long time since I've seen it more beautiful." ”

"Brother Xue, I haven't seen you for a long time."

I haven't understood it for too long, and Su Xia doesn't know whether his current official rank is a section level or a department level, so he really doesn't dare to call it rashly, and he can't ask, so he called Brother Xue.

This time I was happy, "Oh, people are beautiful and sweet." ”

"Sit down, sit down."

Everyone sat down.

The atmosphere of this meal is very weird, and it always feels weird to eat. Staggered, push the cup and change the lamp.

After the weekend, it's Monday again.

Just finished eating in the cafeteria and was about to take a lunch break, Su Xia received a strange phone call.

"Hey, hello, who's that?"

"Su Xia, I'm your Brother Xue."

Su Xia was surprised.

"Oh, I didn't hear the voice without your phone."

"How's it going for dinner on Friday?"

Su Xia was confused by this question, it was a new week, and she was still asking how a meal was last week.

"It's good, it's a lot of fun. Uh, what's the matter with you? ”

Su Xia really didn't understand the reason, but it definitely wouldn't be a good thing.

"I want to treat you to dinner."

Su Xia thought to herself, didn't you just eat it on Friday, why did you eat it again. But even if it wasn't on Friday, Su Xia never wanted to go to dinner with him.

"I'm sorry, Brother Xue, I usually have to take my son, I rarely have time, and last Friday happened to be just in time for my son to be at home."

"It's okay, I know that your unit is busy, no, you can be near your unit when you rest at noon, anyway, our unit is not far away, you don't have time to eat, you can have a cup of tea."

"Okay, I'll go back and report to the director, and we'll ask you." Su Xia fished out the director to block the arrow.

"Hey, you don't need to find the director, I always eat with him, I just want to talk to you about the old days, just the two of us."

Just the two of us, these three words are meaningful.

Su Xia immediately understood, and Li Zheng said: "Oh, I'll make an appointment with you when I have time in the future, I've been too busy lately, and I have a lot of things to do at noon." ”

"Yes, I heard that you are very busy when you transfer to a new department, it's okay, depending on your time, I can do it at any time." It seems that he inquired about some of Su Xia's situation, and it is more likely that he inquired about his marital status.

"Okay, I'll ask you when I have time." Su Xia wanted to prevaricate like this.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your call, this is my phone, you save it."

"Okay, goodbye." Su Xia quickly hung up the phone.

Ever since then, the matter has been put behind me.

A few days apart, Su Xia received several calls from Xue Gang, and Su Xia refused for various "reasonable" reasons.

Not to mention that this person's character is very scummy, even if it is as white as jade, Su Xia will not rashly agree to dinner or other invitations. She didn't dare to step into a relationship rashly and casually.

The separation from Sioux City seems to be easy to get together and disperse, and there is no harm at all, but it is impossible for any feelings to be separated and shake hands and be friends, unless they have not loved each other for a long time.

The aggregation of feelings will bring emotional fluctuations, as long as you give true feelings. Su Xia dares to love and hate, and he has the courage to let go, not to be painless. After Chen Xuan and Su Cheng, Su Xia has temporarily lost the reserves and ability to love again, and his whole body is exhausted, or he no longer expects love, and he will not easily step into a relationship, not to mention that there are obviously bad intentions. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and the flies are just greedy for what they think is the remaining sweetness of the free cake, just for the sake of a temporary bargain.

Susha told herself:

"Don't blindly look for love, once you are in a hurry, it is easy to choose the wrong person in the garbage heap. If you lower the bar, that half-hearted, hot-tempered, two-shipper, unreasonable person will appear in front of you at the speed of light.

They will fascinate you who are gentle and kind, who longs for love, and then play ambiguous, give you a scar, and leave with your hands. And your true love may be preparing for the college entrance examination, going to graduate school, working overtime on a business trip, and planning to start a business......

It's not scary to be single, it's scary that the person you choose to spend the rest of your life with is just a substitute for you to lower your standards. Originally, you only ate shark fin and abalone, but because of hunger, you casually picked up an overnight steamed bun to satisfy your hunger.

Wait patiently, and one day, you will meet someone who is willing to take off their coat and keep you warm even in the coldest winter.

After countless nights, the wind blows the wheat waves and dust. After all, there is a lover, and the snow falls on both shoulders and white heads. ”
