Chapter 19: Miss Wallflower
In the workplace, some people squeeze their heads to get attention and succeed, and take the lead everywhere, but they can't get their wish; Some people don't like to come out, and they are down-to-earth, but they are secretly concerned... Fate is a thing that sometimes likes to play tricks on people, and what you give is not proportional to what you get. It's all right to strive for opportunities, but keeping your feet on the ground is the key to ultimate success.
At lunchtime, Nicole brought her own sesame oil chicken and a few side dishes to share with everyone. Li Meng exaggeratedly praised: "Oh my God, Nicole, you are comparable to a professional chef, it's so delicious!" Nicole looked at her with a smile and said, "Since you like to eat, I'll make some in the future." Yun Duo chewed the vegetables sullenly, she really didn't like Li Meng's flamboyant personality, since she came to the company, the atmosphere in the entire office has become much noisy, and there is no longer the tranquility of the past.
"By the way, Yunduo, there is a drinking party in Sanlitun this Saturday, and it is said that many media colleagues will attend. I want to take care of the children, I can't go, if you have nothing to do, you can go and see, na, this is an invitation. Before Yun Duo took it, Li Meng took the invitation first, she read it carefully, and said delicately: "Sister Nicole, I also want to participate, let me accompany Yun Duo, and I can help her." With that, she looked at Nicole expectantly. Nicole exchanged glances with Yun Duo, and Yun Duo said lightly: "It's okay for Li Meng to go, and multiple partners will not be lonely." ”
Nicole nodded in agreement, and she told the two to bring their business cards and not to miss this rare opportunity to communicate. On Saturday, Li Meng appeared at the reception in a small dress and high heels, she looked at Yun Duo in casual clothes, and said teasingly: "Sister Yun Duo, why did you come out dressed like this?" Not quite right? Yun Duo smiled and said, "I've always been like this, the cocktail party is just a formality, and the most important thing is to promote our website more, right?" Li Meng snorted contemptuously, she didn't pay attention to the clouds, and walked to the sign-in board by herself.
The brightly lit hall, the exquisite and tempting meals, and the colorful men, men and women in gorgeous clothes are pushing cups and changing lamps. It's not the first time that Yun Duo has participated in this kind of occasion, but she doesn't like socializing very much except for necessary interviews, and she prefers to enjoy a quiet time alone than a noisy environment.
Yun Duo looked up, Li Meng was talking happily with a man, she pursed her lips and chuckled, shaking her wine glass from time to time, her face was full of shyness and charm. It seems that she has long forgotten about the clouds, thinking of this, the clouds shook her head and sighed helplessly...
Yun Duo pinched her business card and began to look for a partner who was as lonely as her. At this time, she noticed a girl with glasses not far away, sitting alone in the corner, bored scrolling through her mobile phone. The clouds walked towards her, and when they came to her, the girl looked up at her and asked in surprise, "Are you?" Yun Duo smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I see that you are also a person, so I want to get to know you..."
The girl lifted her glasses and said happily: "Hello, my name is Yanzi, and I am the editor of the Artist Magazine. The crisp voice sounded particularly pleasant, and the clouds carefully looked at the girl in front of her: a round face, round eyes, a round nose, round lenses, and a few small freckles under the corners of the eyes, which looked very cute, just like a character from an anime.
"I had a companion, but—" Cloud gestured to the other side. I saw that Li Meng changed the chat partner again, the other party was obviously taller and handsome than the previous boy, Li Meng's upper body leaned forward slightly, trying his best to show his graceful curves. You don't have to look to guess that she must be trying to impress the other party with innocent and innocent eyes again. kept saying that he was here to promote himself, obviously he was here to catch the golden beetle, thinking of this, Yun Duo smiled helplessly.
"Wow, your colleague is so pretty! However, they are certainly not the same kind of people as us. Swallow said enviously. So, what kind of people do you think we are? Cloud asked, puzzled. Swallow tilted her head and thought for a moment, then replied, "We're more like Miss Wallflower." Yun Duo smiled dumbly: "Miss Wallflower? Isn't that a song? Swallow nodded and said seriously, "Yes, yes, that's it." Because we are very ordinary, it can only be a wallflower on this occasion. As she spoke, the swallow grimaced at the clouds, who were amused by her delicate appearance.
"I think you're a lot like a colleague of mine, and I really should let you meet you when I have the chance." Yun Duo said with a smile. "Okay, okay, I don't have any friends in Beijing, this is my business card, there is QQ on it, you must add me, you have time to hang out together." The swallow happily agreed. The girl in front of her looks and has a personality that looks like a bun. It is said that if the magnetic field between people attracts each other, they can become friends, and a girl like Li Meng may not be destined to walk together.
"Hey, why are you so careless, my dress is very expensive." Just as the clouds and swallows were talking happily, they were interrupted by a loud noise. The clouds followed the prestige, and Li Meng was leaning on her waist and angrily angry at a boy, and a large mark of red wine clearly appeared on her dress.
Seeing this, Yun Duo hurriedly ran over to persuade peace. Li Meng widened her eyes and said to the boy: "You have to pay me for the cleaning fee, my clothes are limited, pay me 5,000, or this matter will not be over." The boy smiled, looked Li Meng up and down, and said, "Miss, it's my fault to accidentally spill red wine on you." But you can't take money either, right? Limited edition? Do you dare to go to the counter with me for a check-up? ”
"Mengmeng, forget it, there are so many people here, it's not good to be noisy." The clouds pulled her and persuaded her. "You know what, he actually said that my clothes are fake, you will either lose money today, or don't plan to leave." Li Meng put aside Yunduo's hand and shouted at the boy relentlessly. At this time, more and more people watched, Yun Duo felt more and more uncomfortable, and the boy opposite spread his hands helplessly, and then took out a wad of money from his wallet and stuffed it into Li Meng's hand.
"That's two thousand yuan, and you can buy a few more clothes like this. Also, don't wear fakes next time, and don't use fakes to slander people, goodbye. With that, the boy left the hall. Li Meng kept stomping her feet angrily, she took out her mobile phone and called her boyfriend: "Woo woo... Honey, I just got bullied by a guy who said the Chanel I was wearing was a fake. Woo woo... People are angry with my chest hurt, come and take me home. ”
In order to appease Li Meng's emotions, Yun Duo has been accompanying her, Li Meng's eyes are red, and she looks wronged. Not long after, an Audi pulled up in front of the hall, and a slightly chubby boy walked towards them. As if she had seen a savior, Li Meng threw herself into the boy's arms and began to sobb in a low voice, and the boy patted her on the back and kept comforting.
The clouds stood aside, feeling at a loss. She said to Li Meng's boyfriend: "Mengmeng is not in a good mood, you can send her home quickly, I will leave first." Li Meng's boyfriend said to Yun Duo gratefully: "I'm sorry for you, you can go with us, just send you." At this time, Li Meng struggled to get out of her boyfriend's arms, and said dissatisfiedly: "What to send, her family is not in the same direction as us, you don't have to send her, don't you, Sister Yunduo?" ”
Yun Duo just didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the two of them, and she nodded in response. Looking at the figures of the two people leaving, Yun Duo let out a long sigh of relief. She looked down at her watch, there were still twenty minutes before the next bus, the night wind was slightly cool, and the clouds couldn't help but hug herself.
"Where do you go, get in the car, I'll drop you off." A gentle male voice sounded, and Yun Duo turned his head to see that it was him...
