Chapter 49: Fate is destined, but I don't know which bet will be decided when
Aimee bypassed the barriers in the hallway and walked into the apartment where she lived with the doors and windows wide open, only to see the landlord in the room wearing a hat made of newspaper on his head and carefully painting the walls! Aimee had only met her when the head of the HR department had brought her here to collect the room. A delicate middle-aged woman who is well-dressed, has meticulously combed hair, and always has a gentle smile on her face.
Ever since Aimee moved in, every time she came home, she felt like someone had come, and she later changed the door key. But the landlord will still call twice a day, always saying that he forgot something and wants to come back to get it. Thankfully, Aimee has been on the road. Recently, she said that her children's things were in this room, and she was in a hurry, so she asked Aimee to leave a key and put it in a private place in the window, and she said that she would put the key back when she took it, but she didn't expect it to be a big move now.
"What are you doing here? How else can I live? "It's almost eleven o'clock in the evening, and when I came back from a business trip with my suitcase, I had only one thought: hurry up and take a shower and sleep, who knew that the accommodation would be like this!
"Gee, I didn't know you were coming back today. I thought that your lease was almost up, so I took advantage of your business trip to repaint the house to save some time. She looked a little apologetic.
Aimee called the HR supervisor and told her about the situation, and the supervisor said that the matter would be dealt with tomorrow, but she didn't know what to do tonight. She said to go and ask her superiors.
It didn't take long for Aimee's mobile phone to ring, it was Alan, and he said categorically: "I heard from the personnel manager about your apartment, you should go to a nearby hotel now, have a good rest, and sign for reimbursement of the hotel expenses tomorrow." The personnel department will arrange other things tomorrow. ”
Aimee pulled her suitcase and went to the Guojian Hotel diagonally opposite, and stayed in a small triangle room at the negotiated price for another night. The next day, when I was back to the office, I ran into Marcus in the lobby again – he saw Aimee from a distance, and he stopped at a corner to wait for her to come by.
"Are you leaving, or have you just returned?" The way he talks with his head sideways is always so good-looking.
"I just came back last night, and I'm going to leave tonight." After saying that, she thought it was funny to herself.
"I was thinking of having a meal together tonight." Marcus is sorry for the look.
Speaking of dinner, Aimee remembered Marcus wiping her mouth, and realized that it had been a long time since she had sat down somewhere for dinner, usually either on a plane, or buying a sandwich or burger. Her eyes didn't escape Marcus, and he whispered, "It's a pity that I have a meeting today, otherwise I could have invited you to lunch." ”
"It's a pity that I'm also a one-day meeting, so I don't have time to come out to eat at noon." The two men looked at each other and smiled understandingly.
Yes, it's all the people who put their work first. Dating and meeting are the first thing to do in a meeting, not to mention two workaholics who have broken up.
"However, you have to take care of yourself, don't always think only about work, and leave some time for rest and hobbies." Marcus told her.
"Well, you too." Aimee's big eyes were filled with gratitude and sincere wishes.
"Hi Aimee, long time no see!" It's actually Daisy. She walked over to this direction as well, and Marcus nodded to her and walked over to the elevator. Aimee and Daisy said hello and chatted a few words.
"Marcus is married, you know?" Daisy's tone and expression were subtle.
"Well, yes, congratulations!" Daisy was surprised that Aimee looked so relaxed. Moreover, when she saw the two of them talking just now, she felt that they were definitely not ordinary customers and suppliers, but what happened? How could it be the current state?
Daisy asked Aimee, "I shouldn't have asked, but I wonder if Marcus and you are not going forward, is it because you both have concerns about the company-to-company partnership?" Since Daisy has such a good answer, Aimee feels that this is indeed the best reason. She nodded firmly, smiled and said, "Sainbai is the customer who has taught me the most in all aspects, and I am really grateful!" Thank you Daisy! Thank you for always caring so much about me. The elevator came and we couldn't talk any more, and Daisy was sad all day, and her eyes became a little sympathetic when she looked at Marcus – it was a sad love story.
The personnel department processed the lease of the single house. Considering that after the successful merger, Alan's team would settle in the company in Beijing as a whole, Aimee proposed that the company should stop renting a house for her in Shanghai, and that if she lived in Beijing in the future, Shanghai would be operated as a business trip. The HR department also thinks this is the most reasonable. When he was about to move to Beijing, Alan asked Aimee to go back to Guangzhou to visit his parents and move, ready to go all out to take over the acquired company.
Aimee's new house in Guangzhou will not be handed over until a year later, and the dormitory she lives in now is, after all, leased by Lipton, and I am not an employee of Lipton's joint venture now, so I shouldn't continue to live here, right? She went to Lei Yue'er and said that since she was going to be transferred to Beijing now, it was not suitable to live in the Lipton dormitory anymore and planned to move out.
"Isn't the marketing you're in charge of also the Lipton brand? What's wrong with continuing to live in our dorm? Is someone gossiping about you again? Tell me who it is, and it's clearly stipulated that you are not allowed to talk nonsense. Lei Yue'er was puffed up.
"No, no, Mr. Lei, no one really said, I thought so myself." Aimee hastened to clarify.
"Don't think about it, when you hand over the house next year, you can move again. When will you hand over the house, the company knows anyway, and you can't rely on it. Mr. Lei, who has always been serious, actually joked with her.
Lei Yueer next told Aimee a major change:
Now that foreign investors are finally allowed to operate the business scope of Youjia, Youjia China has successively bought all the shares of the Chinese party and turned them into wholly foreign-owned enterprises. Mr. Shi was extremely satisfied with the return of the Lipton project, and the change in the US dollar exchange rate alone made the platinum boat make a lot of money, not to mention the equity appreciation.
Now Lipton has nothing to do with the Chinese side and has become a 100% well-owned enterprise. It turned out that all the employees from the Chinese side were faced with two choices: either to return to the platinum boat and continue to enjoy the advantages of the socialist system; Either leave the platinum boat, become a 100% excellent employee, and accept the impact of the market economy wave.
"I'm at this age, I'm looking for stability, and I'm definitely going back to the platinum boat. Xiao Ning, you are a young man with a lot of ideas, how would you decide? ”
Mr. Lei didn't wait for Aimee to answer, and immediately said earnestly: Of course you want to join Youjia! Foreign companies are the general trend in the future, and foreign trade enterprises such as platinum boats will have a more and more difficult time in the future. Young people like you should aim high, open the sea and the sky, don't turn back, and fly bravely to a higher place! ”
Originally, as soon as Aimee heard what Mr. Lei said, she made up her mind, and this encouragement made her even more clear about what she wanted.
Lei Yueer did not tell Aimee that in order to prevent future changes, he had already made the decision to have the human resources department pay Aimee's rent all the way to her new house.
Not long after coming out of Mr. Lei's office, Aimee received a call from Director Xu and asked her to go to the platinum boat to talk.
You can't go to the platinum boat empty-handed, Aimee plans to buy something at the Jusco supermarket in Tianhe City, near the platinum boat office building. Passing by the KFC restaurant on Tiyu West Road, I found that there was a monk on the corner outside the restaurant, dozing off against the wall. In this position, people come and go very noisy, and the monk's dress and the surrounding environment are really too discordant. And it's so noisy, how can he fall asleep here? How sleepy it must be! Obviously something is wrong, is he uncomfortable?
Ning Qian stepped forward and asked the monk softly, "What's wrong with you?" Would you like to help? ”
He immediately opened his eyes, blazing, not looking like he was sick, Ning Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why are you asleep here? Want to help? She was still a little uneasy.
"Girl, I want to have a few words with you." The monk said mildly.
"Okay, you can say it." Aimee thought he had something to ask for.
"Girl, your boyfriend will appear soon, you will get married next year, you will have a son in the future......"
It's a joke......
"Master, do you want me to give you money? If you really have difficulties and lack a travel fare or something, I can give you a small amount of money. But if you want to deceive me in this way, then you can't do it. I can't stand being deceived by others, and it will seem that I am very stupid and my self-esteem can't stand it. Aimee hastened to declare.
"I don't want your money, I just have a relationship with you." The master said lightly.
"It's September now, master, my boyfriend still hasn't written a word. It's even more impossible to get married next year...... Son, let's wait until I find a boyfriend and get married. ”
"Girl, I'm just saying these things to you, just remember them. I'll go first. ”
Someone next to him began to surround him and asked Monk Aimee what he said and whether he was right, and someone took the initiative to say to the monk, "Master, why don't you help me do the math too?" The monk shook his head and said, "I'm not a fortune teller, I'll go first." ”
Then, he turned a corner and disappeared. Aimee went out of his way to see where he was heading, but he really didn't see it.
Where the monk appeared, there was a golden light, and this light had been in Ning Qian's heart, making her feel suspicious and confused, like a dream but not a dream, and both fantasy and reality.
After buying a big bag of gifts and coming to the platinum boat, Director Xu and Mr. Shi made no secret of their love for talents, but in fact, they also knew that it was impossible for Aimee to return to the platinum boat. Their retention, more, is symbolic and ritual, and they want to tell Xiao Ning: When you grow up, we are willing to watch you spread your wings and fly high.
Ning Qian walked up and down several times in the office building of the platinum boat, and there should be no chance to come here again in the future, and when she met every acquaintance, she chatted enthusiastically, as if she was a relative, friend, and neighbor who had been reunited after a long absence.
Unconsciously, when she walked to the green tea department, she felt so noisy inside, she walked in curiously, and suddenly felt as if time had traveled: daylight, actually appeared in front of her! His face is no longer melancholy, evasive, and shy, but bold, resolute, and confident. His eyes are still so bright, his smile is still so handsome, he is still shining in the crowd!
She instinctively retreated in fright.
Ning Qian felt that she must have had some strange serious illness: why was the hallucination so serious, and she could see a person standing here back then? Daylight is indeed the most painful wound in my heart, but after so many years, hasn't it been almost repaired, how could it collapse like this in an instant on this particular occasion? Oh my God, am I crazy? How could I be so sick for the day? What would my parents do if I had such a serious mental illness? What about work? What should I do with the house I bought?
She began to regret it, why didn't she let Jin Qiu accompany her in the platinum boat just now, at least there was someone by her side, just help me!
A group of people followed, and someone began to exclaim: "Isn't this Xiao Ning?" ”
"Yes, it seems to be Xiao Ning. What day is today, I actually saw Xiaobai and Xiaoning at the same time! ”
"Is it really you? Ning coriander? "He's actually talking, and his voice sounds so clear.
"Oh my God, daylight? Ning coriander? Hong Xuantao and Jin Qiu, who had just come out of the elevator, exclaimed at the same time.
Hong Xuantao and Jin Qiu came to find Ning Qian on purpose, they originally wanted to accompany her, and thought that maybe she just wanted to see some places by herself, and then they were worried that she was too sad, so they chased after this place, but they didn't expect that they were actually here, and they saw the two of them at the same time!
"Jin Qiu, you mean, Daylight, is it really here?" Ning Qian suddenly found a life-saving straw, she tugged on Jin Qiu's arm, so hard, Jin Qiu grinned in pain and shook off her hand: "Yes, yes, it's daylight, your day, he's here, it's true!" ”
Hong Xuantao hurriedly beckoned the people from the green tea department to return to the office, and also brought the door intimately. From time to time, someone opened the door to probe his brain, and he deliberately stood at the door to take care of it.
"Ning Qian, it's really you! How did you lose weight like this? Bai Tian couldn't believe it, but he had already confirmed that Ning Qian was indeed in front of him.
He walked slowly towards her, gently took her hand, saw that there was a faint scar on the back of her hand, his tears slipped down one by one, he held Ning Qian's almost unrecognizable pointed little face with both hands, and kept asking himself: Why did she change from a round face to such a pale and thin now? He hugged her tightly, a move he had imagined countless times but never had the courage to try, and today, he did it without hesitation.
However, he was gently pushed away.
"Hello Daylight! After so many years, I didn't expect to be able to meet again, and we can meet here. "Aimee's response, from a ceremonial point of view, was just right.
