Chapter Ninety-Seven: Forget it one day
Zhou Yan has rarely seen Zhou Zhiyi recently, and it is dark that she is busy with her wedding.
When he came down from upstairs, she was having breakfast, and her hand was not idle, she was picking something with an iPad, and she was looking at it carefully.
He took a glass of water, drank it and walked over and casually asked, "All going well?" β
Zhou Zhi didn't bother to raise his head, and responded vaguely with something in his mouth, "Hmm." β
Zhou Yan took a brown paper bag in his hand and put it on the table, his voice was not loud or small, as if it was just to attract her attention.
Zhou Zhiyi raised his eyes and swept over, and looked at him again: "What's it?" β
"Take it apart and take a look."
Zhou Yan didn't say anything, it was mysterious.
Zhou Zhiyi reached out and took the bag, circled the thread on it twice, and a stack of photos fell out of it.
The lighting of the photo is not very good, the environment is relatively dark, and all kinds of lights are shining. But even so, it didn't hinder the view, she roughly swept each one, the big young master who hit the iron, and the girls who ran water.
There are all angles, and no matter how you look at it, there are some intimate gestures.
Zhou Zhiyi looked at these, her expression was already a little indignant, she threw the photo on the table, "What is he doing?" β
Zhou Yan picked up the photos one by one and then put them back in the bag, wound the thread, not in a hurry, "The nature is difficult to move, I said it." β
Zhou Zhiyi hesitated, and asked tentatively: "Brother, are you looking for someone to dig up the black material that is in bloom?" β
Zhou Yan snorted and laughed, disapproving: "If it's really clean, no one can dig it, and being able to dig it can only prove that others do have problems." β
"Are you selfish?"
"Absolutely." He didn't deny it, and he didn't think there was anything wrong, "What kind of swinger he is, you know very well, it's really possible to be fresh for a while, but how long do you think it can be fresh?" Half? A year? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Zhiyi, I'm not alarmist."
I have to say that Zhou Yan's words intuitively stimulated Zhou Zhiyi, of course she knew that Zhou Yan's words were not alarmist. She had seen too many examples of prodigal sons turning back and repeating them.
Novelty is such a thing as untrustworthy and unreliable.
She doesn't care what happens to others, but Soning, she has just come out of the shadows of the past, and what kind of blow will it be if she experiences such a thing again?
"Why don't you just tell Ning Ning?"
Zhou Yan looked a little helpless, but he still smiled: "She doesn't want to listen to me." β
Zhou Zhiyi looked at him, frowned and asked, "Brother, what happened to the two of you?" I always feel like you're hiding something from me. β
Zhou Yan's expression changed slightly, he shook his head and didn't say anything.
β
A few days after the festival were a bit busy, and Soning rotated for three or four days in a row, and he almost slept in the unit.
It's easy to get busy, and Director Zhang has time to convene a regular meeting with simple content, mainly some work plans before the New Year.
He first announced the resignation of Xiao Wang's others, and passed by, without saying much else.
Soning clearly noticed the strange eyes of the others, just exchanged their heads and ears, and didn't say anything, but the meaning in their eyes was too obvious.
Until the end of the meeting, everyone was gone, and she was still sitting there, and Director Zhang asked her while packing up her things, "What's wrong?" β
Soning pondered how to ask.
But I don't know if it's appropriate to ask.
Director Zhang looked at her and hesitated for a while, then moved to her with her things, "Suo'er, their departure is a normal resignation and transfer, don't think about it." β
Soning was still a little unconvinced when he heard this, but maybe he was too sensitive and over-speculating.
She snorted, "Got it." β
Director Zhang nodded, "Go get busy." β
When she came out, she went back to her desk and leaned over her desk to record the work forms of the past two days, and by the end of the day she felt that the atmosphere in the office was strange.
The first few days were busy, and I wasn't there much, so I didn't notice anything wrong.
Now that I think about it, it seems a little too quiet......
There is nothing left to discuss in the past.
When it was time for lunch, there was no one left in the office, eating and going out. Soning also plans to go to the cafeteria to get some noodles and come back.
I happened to hear a little bit of wind and grass.
She rarely goes to the cafeteria with everyone, and before she can go in, she hears a few people at the table at the door chatting quietly.
The environment in the cafeteria is noisy, and when chatting, I don't pay attention to the sound raising a little loudly.
"I didn't ...... what happened to them when I saw Xiao Wang"
"It's too capital, if you say you're fired, you'll be fired, it's just a big demon king in the world."
"That's no way, labor arbitration doesn't care about you, people will lose money."
"I heard that the severance pay was given hundreds of thousands of dollars by one person, and the money was earned! Or they go willingly. β
"I really didn't expect that our President Sheng would take such good care of Soning?"
"Damn...... Big brother, can you be quiet, have you stayed enough? β
That's all I have to say, and I didn't go any further.
Soning simply pieced together these words, and the general scene was already there, and the meaning was very clear: Sheng Fang got rid of those three people, or because of her.
No wonder when the meeting was held, as soon as Zhang Suozhang announced this, it was not quite right.
I'm afraid she's the target of the entire unit now......
She didn't come any closer to the cafeteria, and turned to leave.
The office was empty, and the lights were already on the general manager's side.
Soning's emotions gradually fermented in his chest, and he walked straight to his feet, symbolically knocked on the door, and then pushed the door in. Sheng Fang had just walked to the desk, and when he turned around, he saw her standing there, accompanied by a loud closing of the door.
"What's wrong?" With a smile on his face, he paced back in front of her in a few steps.
Sonnin didn't speak, just looked at him.
The look is peaceful, but it seems that something is brewing.
Sheng Fang looked at her and guessed, "Won't anyone bully you?" β
Soning lowered his head, suppressed the emotions in his chest, and then looked up at him with a touch of coolness in his eyes, "Who bullied me, Mr. Sheng will fire me again?" β
The blooming eyes paused, and then smiled, "Just because of this?" β
Sonin looked at him and waited to continue.
"It's just a few people optimized, it's not a big deal." He took a step closer, and Sonin stepped back.
"Optimize it? Xiao Wang went to Beishi together a while ago to hold a commendation meeting, and his business ability ranked among the top three in the entire S City. β
Sheng Fang put his hand in his pocket, "I think he has a problem with his character, and it's not suitable to stay here." β
Soning didn't want to go around in some useless circles here, so he simply said bluntly, "Mr. Sheng, I'll give you a look at this matter, you can't overhear them getting together to discuss what happened to me in Beishi, and then just fire people, right?" β
"......" he did not refute and did not admit it.
Such a response is completely acquiesced in Soning's eyes.
She nodded knowingly: "It's amazing, isn't it?" What do you think is the use of violent deterrence? Others won't say it in private? They're just going to say something more ugly, and they've had enough of it, but now you're abusing these power tools to shape me into a person? β
Sheng Fang's expression changed, "Privately? Who else? β
Soning felt a little powerless, "Fire everyone who discussed this matter and close the door directly?" β
"I didn't think so."
"That's what you did."
"I just don't want them to upset you, and the dismissal also gave enough compensation, I don't think there's anything wrong with it."
Sonin was stunned.
His attitude was resolute, even a little domineering, and he was also arbitrary in handling this matter, and did not accept any opinions or refutations at all.
"You're too naΓ―ve to bloom." She pondered, "Are you really for me, or are you just trying to balance your heart?" β
"What did you say?"
"Cheng Ling embarrassed me because of you, you feel guilty for me, and you don't know how to compensate me. So using this method to gag other people's mouths makes me out of sight and out of mind. Right? β
Sheng Fang's thoughts were a little confused, and he swallowed: "What do you think?" β
"Yes." Soning was categorical, "You can't move Cheng Ling, just try to alleviate the various effects of this incident on me from other aspects, that's what you think." β
Sheng Fang narrowed his eyes, and he couldn't say anything to refute for a while, he relaxed his emotions and pulled out a little smile, "Xiao Suo, can you not discuss this issue?" β
He reached for her shoulder, but Sonin stepped back, sinking slightly to avoid his movements.
"Sheng Fang, you didn't solve the problem in the right way. I don't care what other people say behind my back, I just want a fair explanation. β
Sheng Fang exhaled a little irritably, "How do you want to be fair?" β
"Let Cheng Ling apologize to me and Zhang."
"......" was stunned, "Impossible." β
Hearing this, Soning pursed his lips and sneered: "Protecting her like this? β
"I'm not protecting her, she's very mentally ill, I can't understand these things to her, you have to apologize, I'll apologize to you, how do you want me to cooperate, okay?"
"You for her? Who are you? Soning's heart was burning slowly, she knew that she should suppress it, but she just couldn't suppress it.
"I ......" Sheng Fang was speechless when asked, and then pulled the topic back, "After all, you blame me for expelling those three people, so what?" Even if it weren't for their, I wouldn't need any reason to fire people as the general manager! β
Sonin let his attitude irritate, "Yes! β
After speaking, he turned around to leave, but he fished him back, "Let's not quarrel over these trivial things, okay?" β
"Release!" Soning struggled to break free, then opened the door and left.
Sheng Fang looked at the empty embrace, extremely irritable.
"!"
ββ
Sheng Fang didn't have any thoughts about this matter, and spent an afternoon in the office.
By the time I came to my senses, it was already dark.
He opened the door and went out to take a look, the lights outside the office were turned off, everyone was gone, and there was no one at the Sonin workstation.
He looked at the time, locked the door and left.
I didn't want to go home, so I called Chen Huai, asked him where he was, and then went straight over.
He came with an aura, and his face was full of: Don't suffer Lao Tzu.
Chen Huai and Zheng Xun looked at each other, it was rare to see the eldest brother make people angry like this, Zheng Xun was cautious, "Quarreled?" β
Sheng Fang smoked a cigarette and glanced at him, "Get out of the way." β
The two exchanged glances: they guessed right.
In their normal thoughts, if they want to quickly wipe away their anger or something, all they need is an empathetic and tender woman, Chen Huai said hello outside.
"Come and solve Sheng Shao's problems for a while."
Then three or four women came in.
Several people sat beside him, serving tea and pouring wine, hanging shoulders and pinching legs.
Sheng Fang's thoughts were on those words of Sonin at noon, she so arbitrarily denied his actions to protect her, he admitted that his actions may be a little fierce, but some of them he just had to be tough to not dare to offend.
"You wooden ......," he said suddenly.
Everyone was stunned.
Chen Huai said: "What is the reason for today? β
Sheng Fang was silent for a moment, he didn't tell him and Zheng Xun about Soning's previous affairs in Beishi. Now that he has said that, he has nothing to hide anymore.
After reasoning, he spoke, "Cheng Ling is back, do you know?" β
Chen Huai and Zheng Xun were originally teasing their sisters, but when they heard Cheng Ling's name, they were stunned for a moment.
Or Chen Huai opened his mouth first, "What's the matter, healed?" β
Sheng Fang lit a cigarette, "No." β
"Then why did she come back?" Zheng Xun also asked.
When the two of them were playing with Sheng Fang, the incident of pouring sulfuric acid had not yet happened, and Cheng Kang and Cheng Ling often played together. At that time, she was a delicate and gentle lady, who was also beautiful and considerate of Sheng Fang.
But that thoughtful is a bit big, I didn't understand it at the time, I just think she cares about everything, in today's words, she has a strong desire to control, pathological paranoia.
Sheng Fang followed them with 800 phone calls when he went out to play with them, and even asked him not to get too close to them at one point, as if to cut off all his social relations. It makes people feel that she can't wait to find a cage to lock him up, and only she can watch it.
It wasn't until after that incident that I realized that she was really sick.
It's scary to think about.
"I don't know, I didn't ask." Sheng Fang paused and continued, "Xiao Suo has a meeting over there......"
He recounted the events of that day, thinking that he should calm down after such a while, but he didn't expect that his heart was still very complicated, especially when he went to the Patrol Bureau to pick up Soning, she was sitting there in a mess, and her clothes were torn......
It's a lingering shadow.
Even though Chen Huai and Zheng Xun had long known what kind of person Cheng Ling was, they were still a little unbelievable when they heard this.
"Why is she still like this?"
Sheng Fang spat out a cigarette, "It's not surprising that you see people think she's doing such a thing. β
"And in the end? How was it solved? β
"Cheng Kang greeted the people from the head office, and the explanation was explained, and there was no other way than to warn."
Chen Huai snorted, "What about Soning?" β
"It's nothing." But he knew that it would not be easy for her to pass this stubble at all, especially because Director Zhang was affected, and she was so old because she was scolded by people, and she couldn't bear it.
"She wants Cheng Ling to apologize, but it's impossible, I said how do you want to apologize, I'll do it."
Zheng Xun scolded on the side, "If this is me, if Lao Tzu doesn't splash it back, it will be regarded as five stresses and four beauties, and the ideology and morality will be cultivated to the end." β
"......" Sheng Fang looked at him.
"What are you looking at, how embarrassing? In front of the public, I broke the paint and chicken blood, and tore my clothes and scolded the little three, and I couldn't tell it clearly. I can't stand this grievance! β
Chen Huai was obviously much calmer, "Let go, this matter is really not handled properly." He looked at Sheng Fang, "You apologize for her, what's the matter?" β
", why do you say the same thing as Suo?"
"Nonsense, what is the use of your words except to make Soning feel that you are biased towards Cheng Ling, what is the use of what is not over?"
Sheng Fang explained: "Cheng Ling, she really has no ability to act, and besides, she can do anything with her crazy appearance, and I am also risk-averse." β
Chen Huai nodded approvingly, "The idea is right, it's even more wrong for the person to ask the person concerned to apologize, right?" Cheng Ling can't do it, Cheng Kang can always give an attitude, right? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Don't you think it's a big deal to apologize, why should she care so much, is it forced? Of course not! Xiao Suo is also a hard temper, how can you hold it back if you let people hold it back? β
Sheng Fang couldn't answer a word, and he had mixed tastes in his heart.
"Besides, your expulsion of the mouthful is a palliative but not a cure, and no one will say anything when they leave? How many days can a shock be useful? It used to be good for people to be alone, but now what's the matter, because of your care, big brother, you have become the target of public criticism? β
These words made Sheng Fang's heart panic, "It means that Lao Tzu didn't do it right at all, right?" β
"I don't mean that, you can understand how you want to protect her. But that's not what people care about, understand? β
Zheng Xun was on the side: "I think so too!" β
At this point, no one said anything more, and the anger that the eldest young master had when he came slowly went down. The brain is clearer.
His attitude cannot represent the attitude of the Cheng family, let alone Cheng Ling.
The more this happens, the more unclear it is, and the pimple in Soning's heart may be because of this.
She's a black and white person, so she can't just forget about the past like this.
Whoever made the mistake must apologize, so that this matter is over.
He tried to avoid contact between the two parties as much as possible and calm things down, but he still ignored her thoughts......
Bent.
This was obviously something that she should have decided, but it turned out that he was dealing with it according to his own wishes.
The eldest young master suddenly grasped the key point and slapped his thigh.
"!"
β
Halfway through Soning's meal, Zhou Zhiyi came.
The two chatted casually, and Zhou Zhiyi hesitated and didn't know how to speak.
Seeing that she wanted to speak, Soning stopped asking for a while, and she took out the brown paper bag and handed it over directly.
She wiped her hands, then bypassed the lines on the paper bag and poured out the photo.
Each photo has a date on it, and she glanced at it, it was the last month, and it was basically a photo of some women at different times on different occasions.
The angle is very good, ambiguous and provocative, imaginative, and each one can be clearly identified as him.
Soning read it, took the photo back into the bag, put it on the table, and asked casually: "Zhou Yan gave it to you?" β
Zhou Zhiyi: "How do you know?" β
"It's not like you're so bored and looking for someone to secretly film him." She didn't look very concerned, and lowered her head and ate the noodles again.
Zhou Zhiyi was really surprised by her attitude, "Ning Ning, do you know it or do you really not care?" β
"Zhiyi, you told Brother Zhou Yan to do less of these meaningless things. He loves to play and love waves, and he doesn't need him to beat me over and over again. Sonin said this very calmly, and he couldn't hear any emotion, "Also, you don't have to find such a tricky angle to secretly shoot, isn't it interesting?" β
Zhou Zhiyi's situation was a little embarrassing, obviously being used as a gunman by his brother.
But this is also her voluntary come, Soning's disgust with this question is self-evident, she tried to say a few more words, but in the end she did not find a good entry point.
Think maybe it's a bit sloppy?
Anyway, I didn't say this anymore, and when I left, Zhou Zhiyi apologized.
Soning naturally knew that she was for her good, and Zhou Yan's purpose was fundamentally different, "Silly girl, it's okay." β
Zhou Zhiyi said again, "Sheng Fang is a famous swinger in the circle, Ning Ning, no matter what, keep an eye on yourself and protect yourself." β
"I've got it." She reassured.
"If you don't want to listen to me, don't say it, if he dares to bully you, I won't be able to spare him."
"Don't be so nervous, okay?" Soning smiled, "It's just a relationship, and if you don't know it one day, it's useless for you to worry about this." β
Zhou Zhiyi nodded in response.
The figure in the hallway just stopped, and the right foot that had been stepping up was retracted.
I repeated her words in my mind, and I wonder if I will forget it one day?
Is that what she concluded about this relationship between them?
He didn't expect to be surprisingly calm when he heard such words. Then, before being discovered, he turned around and went downstairs, started the car and walked away.
Soning sent Zhou Zhiyi away and returned to the somewhat dimly lit room, where the brown paper bag was still in place, as if all the light in the room had gathered on it.
She walked over and took out the photos with an indifferent expression, looking at them carefully one by one, some of them raised their eyebrows and smiled, they were full of ruffians, and they looked provocative......
It's all him.
It's familiar, but it's also strange.
Even though she knew that Zhou Yan was just deliberately looking for some angles to shoot it so that it didn't look very innocent, she still couldn't contain the strange feeling growing in her heart.
Jealousy or some other thoughts? I can't tell.
People who bloom like this are accustomed to living in such large groups and surrounded by flowers.
He does not provoke or refuse, and enjoys a certain satisfaction that comes from this ambiguous atmosphere. It wasn't a moral issue for him, or even a bad thing.
It's their way of life.
There is no need for a sense of distance or proportion.
Soning threw the photo into the trash can, and with too much force, he smashed the trash can, and spilled it on the ground along with the soup and water from the noodles just now, which was dirty and messy......
