Chapter 17: A Helpless Experience
After Chen Hong talked to Wang Jing, both of them were a little more relaxed, but they both secretly decided not to go to any party activities with each other, so as not to destroy the friendship between the two. And after going out with Wang Jing a few times before, Chen Hong found that that way was not very ideal, just like going to a supermarket, in that kind of situation, the good people were buried, or they were taken badly, but the bad people were becoming more and more rampant, and there was an opportunity to take advantage of it.
There is another reason, she found that the way Wang Jing took was not a serious way, and the people she saw were not serious people, everyone was playing and looking for excitement, and she didn't want such a result. Now that she is divorced, she doesn't want to mess with Wang Jing anymore, she knows that it is not a good result to mix like that, but she is too lazy to persuade Wang Jing, after all, Wang Jing's purpose is different from her, she didn't tell Wang Jing these thoughts, she didn't want to hurt Wang Jing anymore, so she could only secretly choose other ways by herself. It's just that I thought that there would be no restrictions after the divorce, and everything I did would be justified, and I didn't have to worry about who would know my whereabouts and blame myself. But when it really comes to this point, I feel like it's not going down.
She accidentally saw a salon on the Internet that organized a killing game, gathered people who liked this kind of game, and provided a venue where everyone could compete and have fun, which suddenly aroused her curiosity, and she had played with the teachers when she was in school before, and she thought it was very enjoyable, so she went to such a salon.
The people who came to play the game were all strangers, and there was not even a link to introduce each other, everyone's purpose was to play, simple and clear, which made Chen Hong very satisfied. She wanted to make friends in such an environment so that it would not be so embarrassing, and it would not be like going to the supermarket to buy something.
She has a membership card, and she can participate in game activities twice a week, and most of the people who come to participate in the game are children in their twenties, not too many of her age, but it is not nothing, and here she met Xu Yi.
Chen Hong has an innate preference for those men who are engaged in business work, and it is also out of this consideration that she is good with Bai Xuesong, she feels that people who do business are very attractive, and they are completely different from those who are engaged in education, and there is always a dominant demeanor in front of people, and they are strategizing about everything, just like commanding a war, so she deliberately chooses those who do business to contact and communicate.
Xu Yi's company, which deals in health supplements, is a middle-level manager who is responsible for the company's business throughout North China. Chen Hong never cared about what the other party did, she didn't understand those, but Xu Yi often instilled her business in Chen Hong, and their health care products were sold all over the country and cured all diseases.
Xu Yi let Chen Hong participate in several project promotion meetings organized by their company, franchisees from all over the world gathered in Beijing, that kind of scene Chen Hong is the first time to see, the lights are bright, the atmosphere is warm, the climax of the content is the dealers around the scene to sign a contract, the on-site transaction deposit, and many agent customers with cash transactions. It was also the first time for Chen Hong to see so much money and so many rich people.
Chen Hong seems to have experienced an experience that she has not felt for decades, and those bosses have a commanding attitude, which makes Chen Hong feel very exciting and novel, and really makes her realize what she said to Bai Xuesong at the beginning: The outside world is really exciting.
Chen Hong found that the goal she set at the beginning was deviated for a period of time after the divorce, although she said to Bai Xuesong that she wanted to see the outside world, she did think so, she had worked in the school for more than ten years, isolated from the outside world, and did not know how outsiders lived and how outsiders worked. Bai Xuesong also said to her at the time, do you want to understand the world, or do you want to find a new man. If you want to understand the outside is easy, you can get in touch with a variety of environments and people, which has nothing to do with divorce, in the final analysis, you still want to change people. This made Chen Hong speechless, the outside world she said was actually just the emotional world outside the family, and it had nothing to do with long-term knowledge.
So after she came into contact with Xu Yi, she really discovered the outside world, which was completely different from her closed, traditional, and serious environment and style on campus, the bustling and lively shopping mall opened her eyes, but the most important thing was the changes that Xu Yi brought to her, which made her feel completely different from her previous life, completely different from Bai Xuesong's relatively poor man, this is the person she wants, everything in front of her is the life she wants to live, the world she wants to experience.
Soon after, Xu Yi invited Chen Hong to go on a business trip with him to a city in the south to attend an annual meeting organized by their head office. The meeting was even more spectacular than the agency meeting in Beijing, and some lesser-known actors were brought in to help. After the meeting, Xu Yi took Chen Hong out of the hotel prepared by the company and opened a room by himself.
Before the business trip, Chen Hong said to Bai Xuesong, it was not a leave, but a polite greeting. Of course, it is impossible to tell the truth, she told Bai Xuesong that a friend's company organized a product launch conference and invited her to take a look, maybe she could participate in it to earn some extra money. Bai Xuesong didn't think too much about it, and of course it was impossible to think that Chen Hong would go out with a man.
This is the first time Chen Hong has been with another man since she got married, and it is also the second man in her life. When she woke up from her dream in the morning, Chen Hong's first feeling was that she was no longer the pure woman she used to be. Looking at Xu Yi who was still asleep beside her, Chen Hong had a sense of crime, a sense of betrayal, she rarely thought of Bai Xuesong after the divorce, but at that moment, she suddenly remembered him.
At this point, Chen Hong seems to have really come out of the state of divorce and started a new life, the pure feelings of the past are gone, although what she is doing now is justified, neither a cheating woman, nor a cheating woman, but she feels that the marriage with Bai Xuesong is really completely over at this moment.
But she always felt that her current behavior was not so open, like cheating. In the end, I can only comfort myself that everything is going to start again.
After returning from a business trip, Chen Hong and Xu Yi began to communicate frequently, Xu Yi was usually very busy with work, they could only see each other once a week, and everything seemed to be a normal development.
But suddenly one day Chen Hong called Xu Yi, but the other party's phone was always turned off, Chen Hong thought he was in a meeting, or there was some special situation, so he didn't call again. After waiting for a whole day, the phone was still turned off, and Chen Hong was a little anxious. But it was already evening, and there was no other way to contact her, so she had to wait until the next day.
As soon as she went to work the next day, she called Xu Yi again, but the phone was still turned off. She was really anxious this time, so she took a taxi to the company to find him.
Xu Yi's company is in a very remote courtyard outside the Fourth Ring Road, which she has visited twice before. Although the place is remote, but the environment inside is still good, but the traffic is not very convenient, an independent courtyard, a two-story building, the outside world does not know what other companies are operating here.
Chen Hong came to the door of Xu Yi's company, the door was locked, and a seal was also affixed. The date on the seal is two days ago. Chen Hong thought about it for a while, she hadn't been in contact with Xu Yi for two days just now, and it was in the middle of the week, and they usually only contacted on Friday, so I don't know what happened in the past two days.
Xu Yi's phone still couldn't get through, so Chen Hong had to wait outside the gate.
It was almost noon, a car with the logo of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau stopped at the gate, and several staff members got off from it and opened the gate with the key.
Chen Hong hurriedly went up and asked why the company was blocked.
The staff looked at her curiously and suspiciously, and asked her what she was doing.
She said that a friend who works at the company and passed by to have a look.
One of the staff members like a leader told her that the company was suspected of economic fraud and had been seized, and many of the staff members inside had been arrested, and I didn't know if there were any friends with you.
"His name is Xu Yi." Chen Hong told the man.
The man thought for a moment and said:
"I don't know exactly who is called what, anyway, basically all the people above the middle level of their company have entered and are on trial."
"And when will they come out?"
"I don't know, the business they do is illegal, they cheat the people's money, and the products they make are fake, and they will be sentenced to several years in serious terms."
Chen Hong's head buzzed in a daze.
She didn't ask the staff anything else, the only thing she could think of now was to run quickly, don't let this matter involve her.
Chen Hong ran home as if she had run away, she couldn't figure out the process of this matter anymore, in front of her eyes there was always a big banquet hall in Xu Yi's company and the sealed door, two completely different scenes made her unable to distinguish which one was true and which was false, let alone whether that person was real or false, it seemed like a dream.
She didn't know who to talk to, so she had to hold it by herself. Only two people can say this kind of thing, one is Bai Xuesong and the other is Wang Jing, she immediately denied Bai Xuesong, after all, if Bai Xuesong knew about this matter, she would be embarrassed. Before the divorce, she had sworn to pursue a better life, but now she has encountered such a thing, and Bai Xuesong may laugh at her more if she knows. What's more, the relationship between himself and Xu Yi can't be known to Bai Xuesong.
As for Wang Jing, she is also embarrassed to tell her these things now, she has never mentioned the relationship with Xu Yi to Wang Jing, especially the experience of following Xu Yi on a business trip, and she doesn't want Wang Jing to know too much.
So she didn't go anywhere when she got home, and she didn't contact anyone, and she honestly stayed at home for a few days.
