Chapter 16 This game is called the Song of the Rivers and Lakes
When I woke up from bed, the alarm clock rang three or four times at 7 o'clock in the morning and didn't stop, I just reached out and touched the phone, and immediately continued to fall asleep after the alarm was quiet.
As soon as I woke up, I bounced out of bed.
Sure enough, this kind of late-night life is not suitable for middle-aged people like me, so I flew into the toilet without waking up from the bullfight.
The weather in Beijing is getting worse and worse, the flow of people is getting bigger and bigger, and the emissions of car exhaust are exceeding the standard.
Swallowing the last bite of steamed buns in my mouth, the driver's door was not fully opened, so I stepped on it. Then there was the long traffic jam, and then there was the time when the boss was swearing on the way to the traffic jam.
I'm afraid there are countless employees like me who stay late every day because they stay up late, but I guess I'm the only one who can ignore the boss's scolding and continue to be late. The arc scolded miserably, and I glanced at the blocked road, and I had to roll my eyes and hang up.
Then I posted a post on Moments, and then received a private chat from Ronnie.
Ronnie: Daji, didn't your boss kill you when you were late?
"Fierce," I replied, and then added, "but there is no intention of dismissing me so far." ”
Ronnie: Why?
Me: Maybe it's because I'm cute.
"Well," Ronnie seemed to believe me, and then continued, "Daji, I'm in Beijing right now, do you want to come out and face the base!" ”
Me: Face ???
Ronnie: yes, aren't you also in Beijing? So I wanted to ask you out to have fun, and I invited you to dinner.
Ronnie is asking me out for dinner? No, Uncle Kiki said he couldn't let him know who I was. But am I just refusing? Ronnie is young, but she's cute. If I refuse him, he must be very uncomfortable. No, I can't hit a child like that. But Uncle Kiki's tone was so heavy at that time that it seemed that I was going to have to squeak with him first and see what he had to say.
I didn't reply to Ronnie's private chat, but sent a WeChat message to Uncle Kiki.
Me: Uncle Kiki!! Help me!
Uncle Kiki: ?
Me: What if Ronnie asks me to come out and meet with him?
Uncle Kiki: Not available.
I:...... Wouldn't it be too cruel......
Uncle Kiki didn't reply to my message, and the cars on the road started moving forward. When I didn't know how to reply to Ronnie's private chat, Ronnie sent me a message herself.
Ronnie: I'm sorry Daji, uncle said I had a meeting in the afternoon and I probably won't be able to make an appointment with you.
Me: It's okay, you're busy.
Ronnie: Well, I'll be back to you when I have time, bye-bye.
"Yay!" Before I knew it, the stone in my heart sank.
When I arrived at the office, my boss looked at me with a gloomy face and walked into the office. He had a cigar in his mouth that he had recently brought back from Hong Kong, and then looked at me with the expressions of the actors in the movie.
He didn't say anything until I sat in my seat for a long time before I looked around. I saw that everyone around me was busy with their own business, and then they trotted towards me.
"Tutu," his expression was particularly treacherous, "you're late again today." ”
"Uh-huh!" I nodded, then turned on my computer, "What's wrong?" Are you going to fire me? ”
"Don't dare," he grinned, then motioned for me to continue my business.
My boss is not a coward, but he doesn't dare to put on a face in front of me. After all, I was the only niece of his beloved wife. Speaking of which, my aunt is actually quite pitiful, and she has been with her uncle for several years without children. Later, I went to the hospital for an examination and found that the man was infertile.
However, my aunt was not too disappointed, and she was very good to me, because it was even better for me.
She had always wanted to have a lovely and smart daughter like me, but unfortunately that hope would never come true. My uncle wanted to go to the welfare home to adopt a daughter, but my aunt refused. Because my aunt always said that if she didn't give birth to herself, she would run away one day. She didn't want the despair of falling into the abyss in exchange for expectations. My aunt also said that not everyone would be as well-behaved as Tutu and would feel sorry for her.
After I came into this world, I was only my aunt who was my own child.
My father, who gave birth to me, divorced my mother and found a stepmother. Although the stepmother is not bad, it just makes me look unpleasant. I moved out of my house after I went to work and rented a small house in the neighborhood on my own. When I grew up, I never contacted the man who gave birth to me again. Only occasionally the man's current wife would call me and ask me what I was doing.
And my so-called own mother followed a foreigner. As soon as I left, I ran away with my ex-husband's money before I was weaned. At that time, thanks to his uncle, my father was able to start from scratch.
I was raised by my aunt when I was a child, and my aunt also gave me my living expenses. But I know that the money was given to me by my stepmother in my aunt's own name.
Sometimes I feel like a heartless woman, and I don't need to have a heart.
My uncle's company is not big, but it is developing well. He always told me to put more thought into my work and then gave me a promotion and a raise. But I, who was used to fishing in troubled waters, only occasionally performed a little better, and then there was a period of malaise.
I told my aunt that I wanted to change jobs, but she refused. She didn't allow me to suffer any grievances outside, so she paid me as much as I wanted. If you take other people's benefits, you will have to pay them back one day, and so will your aunt's.
I turned on the computer and got into the game, then opened the files on the table and read them slowly.
Usually when I go to work, everyone looks positive, and I am the only one, lightly knocking melon seeds and drinking drinks. From time to time, watching the TV series makes a pig-killing laugh, and then there is the crisp sound of constantly tapping the keyboard.
I'm not a bad guy who doesn't know Tarzan, I just want to get out of this boring place that I don't love.
As usual, I boarded the game and arrived at the daily quest location.
"Tutu," an eerie figure appeared behind me.
Looking up, my uncle's grinning face made my head hurt. No matter how pretentious I was, I was so frightened that I quickly switched the table when I saw the boss, and then stood up and looked at him in a daze.
Usually he doesn't talk so much, but what happened today.
"A few more, a few more." He reached out to soothe my shoulder, and he couldn't speak clearly. Glancing at my computer screen, that weird smile on my face reappeared. He said, "What game did you just play again?" ”
I replied: "Online games are called the swan song of the rivers and lakes." ”
"Is it fun?"
"Okay...... Bar...... How? "I looked into his eyes and saw something amazing. I saw him shake his head, and then waved at me, "It's nothing, it's nothing, just ask." When you're at work, play less games. There is a lack of a supervisor in the company's design department, and you have any good friends who can be qualified for this kind of work to recommend to me. ”
"Oh......" I nodded, and then thought of Murong Su in my mind.
