Chapter 52: Plummeting

Lying on the bed, everything that happened before is still vivid, and now looking back on it, it really feels like a dream. The punk-style tall buildings of Tisboor's world, whether it's the grand underground urban library or the bustling steam bar, are so unreal compared to the world I live in, if I hadn't really experienced everything there, I might have really thought of those memories as Nanke's dream.

Cher, if I told you this, would you believe it?

Of course, this kind of thinking can only stay at the level of thinking, and can't really tell her, but like her innocent and pure character, maybe it will really be true, after all, not long ago she thought that Santa Claus was real.

Thinking back to my past with Cher, a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and I gradually lost consciousness.

……

Time passed quickly, and three months passed like flowing water in the blink of an eye, and during this time I focused on Cher's main experience. Three days after I was hospitalized, Cher woke up, I was at work, and I heard from the nurse that she kept asking me if I was okay as soon as she opened her eyes, and she was not relieved until I rushed to the ward in the evening, and hugged me and cried.

The hospital where she lives is not far from home, and it can be reached in more than ten minutes on foot, so I will not delay my work, so I will go to the hospital every night to see her and talk to her, but unfortunately the doctor does not let her stay too late, otherwise I am willing to sleep on my stomach next to the bed.

Later, her condition gradually stabilized, and she slowly began to try to do some simple exercises, because she had been lying on the hospital bed for a long time, coupled with a more nutritious diet, Xue'er was a little fat, and she also made up her mind to me more than once that she should actively exercise to recover her body shape after she recovered, and I just smiled and touched her head, as long as she no matter what she became, I liked it.

……

"Ink marks, are you done with your work?" I was typing on the keyboard, and suddenly I heard someone calling me behind me, I turned my head to look, and there was a kind middle-aged man standing in front of me, we called him Brother Li, the manager of our department, and the oldest staff member in our department, usually have a good relationship with us employees, because of his erudition, so the people in the department respect this big brother.

"It's just over, what's wrong with Brother Li?"

"The boss came to you and said he had something to talk about."

"It's not going to fire me...... it's normal to have such thoughts, now Xue'er is hospitalized, when she is most short of money, although she has always been cautious and never sloppy at work, but in such a competitive and stressful industry, the turnover of personnel is normal.

"How so." Brother Li patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile, "The boss said that you are neat and tidy, and your performance has been rising steadily recently, don't think too much, although every time I see the leader, I am a little weak, haha." ”

"Okay, then I'll go first."

There was three knocks on the door, and a somewhat muffled voice came from the room: "Come in." ”

"Boss, you're looking for me."

"Hehe, the ink marks are still as plain as ever, since I met you for the first time during the interview, you haven't changed much in such a long time."

"Yes......" I remember that Xue'er seems to have said the same thing about me, her tone is flat or something, maybe she has experienced too much, or she is more accustomed to thinking, my expression skills have not been very good, and it gives people a quiet feeling.

"Of course, every time I see you, you don't talk much, even if you say a few words once in a while, it's not in a tone." Saying that, the boss smiled, "Actually, I chose you because of your temperament, and I thought that people like you could do things for the company in a down-to-earth manner." ”

"Thank you for your love."

The boss waved his hand, "I'm just telling the truth, okay, let's not talk about this, do you know why I called you here today." ”

"I don't know if there's something wrong at work."

"Well, no, quite the opposite." The boss paused, took out a stack of papers from the drawer and placed them on the table, I glanced at them slightly, and it seemed to have my name on them.

"It's a good thing to call you here today, didn't the person who managed the financial sector leave before, and I haven't found a suitable person to replace him, so I asked around, and then held a meeting to discuss, and finally decided that it was most suitable for you to take over this position."

After listening to the last sentence of the boss, I was stunned for three seconds before I reacted, so I was promoted?

"Today's main thing is to ask for your opinion, how is it."

Without hesitation, I said, "Yes, of course I do, and I will continue to do my best." ”

"Okay, it's a good thing that young people are motivated, this month is coming to an end, and you will go to work in a new office next month, and how about a month for you in terms of salary." As he spoke, the boss raised his right hand and stretched out two fingers.

"It's all up to you." Although there is still no tone, but in fact, I am already excited and can't wait to jump up immediately, what is the concept of a monthly salary of 20,000, conservatively estimated to be as much as four times my current income, if you add bonuses and the like, then this number will be higher.

"Then it's settled, I heard that your girlfriend is hospitalized?"

"Yes, it was all to save me, I had a car accident, but now there is no major problem, and now I am slowly recovering in the hospital, and I will be discharged in a few days." Speaking of Cher, my eyes couldn't help but dim a little, even now I still blame myself, if I hadn't delayed at that time, Xue'er wouldn't have suffered like this.

The boss sighed, "It's okay, it's not too early, hurry up and pack up and go back, I have time to accompany others, I often don't have time to accompany my lover because I'm too busy, and now I'm fighting at two ends for three days, work is important, but don't hurt your feelings because you're too involved." ”

"Thank you, boss, then I'll go first."

"Hmm."

When I left the company, I let out a sigh of relief and squeezed my fist hard. I don't have to let Cher suffer with me in the future, I can also rent a bigger house, I have so much money to think about giving her something, I remember when I visited the website before, I saw a doll she clicked in several times and didn't buy it, it seems to be a teddy bear, just take it as a gift!

That's right! You must tell her about the promotion quickly, and I heard that if the person who is recovering from the injury can be in a good mood, the injury will heal faster.

I took out the phone, flipped through the contacts to Cher's phone, raised my hand and was about to dial, hesitated for a moment and turned off the phone screen.

Let's meet and tell her, so that there will be a sense of surprise.

At this moment, the mobile phone in my hand suddenly rang, I looked down, the caller ID was a number I was very familiar with, if I had to find someone who was most closely connected with me besides Cher, it must be the owner of this number.

"Hey, why did you suddenly remember to call me."

"If there is an emergency, you should come to the hospital quickly, and be careful not to be followed." A crisp male voice came from the other side of the phone, and just as he wanted to say something more, the phone was hung up.

What is this guy in such a hurry, he has to say it to his face, and he wants me to be so careful, why would someone follow me for no reason?

The person I just talked to on the phone, named Yang Xingzhao, was my classmate and good brother in middle school, since I was laid off by the company, he was helping me for a long time, which made me and Xue'er not have too much suffering, so in addition to Xue'er, I trust and appreciate him the most.

Coincidentally, Yang Xingzhao is now working in the hospital where Xue'er is hospitalized, and it seems that he is still a high-level person, and he also owes him that Xue'er lives in the best ward for lighting and hygiene, and also exempts us from a lot of expenses, although the medical expenses are paid with compensation, but he undoubtedly has a lot of money left for our poor life.

The phone vibrated again, it was a text message, and it was Yang Xingzhao who wrote the letter.

Come directly to Chu Mingxue's ward, I'll wait for you.

Chu Mingxue is Xue'er's real name, and she is usually more accustomed to calling her Xue'er, and she also likes this title.

It just so happened that I was also going to visit Cher in the hospital, and he saved me from running away in Cher ward, and I could spend more time with her. With that in mind, I headed for the hospital.

"What are you looking for me, and you want me not to be followed, why are you saying so strange." Pushing open the door of the ward, I saw Yang Xingzhao in a white coat, he was taller than me, with glasses and polite appearance, and he was usually quiet, somewhat similar to my personality. Maybe that's why we've become best friends.

"Mingxue, she may not wake up."

For more than ten seconds, I froze in place, staring at him with my eyes wide open. Ten seconds passed, and I suddenly laughed and scolded in disbelief: "Xingzhao, when will you be joking, even if I haven't studied medicine, I know that Xue'er has a fracture and has not suffered any serious injuries, how can I not wake up?" Your joke is too cold. ”

"I'm not kidding, it's a fact."

"No, it's not, don't act if I see through it, I suddenly found out that you are quite talented in acting, hehe......" I really don't want to admit it, I finally saw Xue'er again and couldn't wake up like this, until I saw Xue'er's pale bloodless face and those closed eyes, I had to believe that what he said might be true.

My thinking stopped in an instant, and the smile that was slightly outlined at the corner of my mouth froze on my face, and the idea of telling Xue'er the news of my promotion was also vanished at this moment.

I stepped forward, grabbed Yang Xingzhao's collar, and asked angrily, "What the hell is going on!" Didn't Cher break a bone? Why can't I wake up! Tell me quickly! ”

"You calm down first." Yang Xingzhao said softly.

I pushed hard with both arms, directly pushing Yang Xingzhao back several times, and sat down on the sofa behind him.

"I'm going to fuck calm down! If I suddenly tell you that your girlfriend won't wake up, can you calm down! "At this time, the anger has washed away my reason, in fact, when he said this sentence for the first time, I knew that what he said might be true, because he never joked, let alone in this kind of thing, but I really don't want to admit that Xue'er, who had worked so hard and died for a lifetime, was actually leaving me again.
