Chapter 38: Psalms Under the Walnut Tree

Summer and summer turned back page after page, and the people around me went from strange to familiar, and from familiar to unfamiliar.

In the end, Hu Mingming and Zhang Pengpeng came together, and this pair was quite surprising. Luo Qian complained about me a lot here, but karma is such a thing, why bother to deliberately control it? I think this is very good, but Hu Mingming and I have become strangers since then, and Zhang Pengpeng has also established a delicate relationship with me because of some false rumors.

One night in August, Zhou Haoran and I were sitting on the roof of the building drinking beer, and there was a huge walnut tree in the courtyard with lush branches. Through the gaps in the branches, the moonlight sparsely shone down, reflecting mottled black shadows on our faces. The concrete floor slab is hot in the sun during the day, and you can even smell the smell of roasting when the wine foam falls.

I asked Zhou Haoran in a drunken mood: "There is still a month before the dispatch is over, what are you going to do when you go back?" ”

Zhou Haoran shook his head: "What can I do?" How does the leader arrange me to do it, be a good employee. Don't poke the basket, don't fight for orders, and live the rest of your life safely and harmlessly. ”

"So negative?" I put down the jug, took two cigarettes from his cigarette case, and handed him one: "You haven't thought about the evaluation?" People always have to go to high places. ”

Zhou Haoran took a deep puff of cigarette, and then slowly exhaled: "Lu Xia, in a few years, you may not think like this." ”

I don't think so, thinking to myself that you are already so decadent, what ideals do I have to talk to you about?

"It's hard for a bird to know the ambition of a bird! …… I'm going to be the manager. I said.

Zhou Haoran projected an appreciative gaze: "You have a high degree of education, it shouldn't be difficult." But the department manager is still too far away, don't stumble. ”

"Why?" I asked.

Zhou Haoran wrapped his hands around the back of his head, lay on the cement floor slab that exuded residual heat, and said casually: "Lu Xia, have you ever seen someone in his twenties who became a department manager?" Let's just say that Manager Wu is in his fifties, and he only evaluated his title the year before last. State-owned enterprises are like this, go through the process, we are still only the most basic salesmen, and there is no way to reach the sky in one step. ”

I don't have a habit of smoking, and at the moment I take a deep breath and choke on old tears.

After coughing evenly, I said to Zhou Haoran unusually calmly: "Da Zhou, I want to try it when I go back this time."

"Are you serious?" Zhou Haoran looked at me incredulously.

"When you give a speech, remember to vote for me."

Zhou Haoran giggled, patted me on the shoulder, and shook it vigorously.

Maybe we've all drunk too much, and I don't usually say this kind of conceit. After saying that, I also felt ridiculous, and I bumped the wine jar with Zhou Haoran, and poured it into my throat with my head high.

The moonlight was more intense, and the branches of the walnut trees became brighter and brighter, and the moonlight rushed to squeeze in.

At this time, Hu Shanshan suddenly asked me in WeChat how the nightlife in Shandong is lived? I said it was too rich, drinking, playing cards and reciting poetry.

"Do you still write poetry? Terrific! Hu Shanshan said.

"Do you want me to compose one for you?"

"Come on! Write one. ”

"Uh-huh! ……”

Driven by drunkenness, I didn't know what I was talking about, and Xu Haoran fell asleep in a daze, and when I was woken up by a mosquito bite at night, I found that there were several WeChat messages from Hu Shanshan that had not been replied to. I flipped it up, and when I saw the poem I wrote, I suddenly felt hot in my head and ashamed!

When I returned to the company the next day, Luo Qian suddenly stopped me and asked, "Are you going to be a manager?" Ambitions are huge! ”

"I'll go~! Who told you that? After speaking, I suddenly realized that no one except Zhou Haoran seemed to know about it. But he's too fast, it's only been a few hours since last night, and we've only just left each other's sight.

"Don't be so surprised, okay?" Luo Qian said as she turned the chair and went back to work, tapping on the keyboard with a snap.

I don't know why, but I always feel that something is wrong. Sitting at the desk, thinking back to the conversation I had with Luo Qian in the past month or so, she seemed to care very much about my words and deeds.

Realizing this, I felt a faint sense of peeping, thinking that this old woman would not be spying on me.

Soon my suspicions were confirmed.

At noon, when I was eating in the cafeteria, Xia Xiaoxue came to me and asked me about the process of the loan contract. Zhou Haoran sat at our table, glanced at it from time to time, and put his mobile phone on the table.

"Xiaoxue, let's talk to Zhang Ying!" After talking about work, I suddenly said to her. "It won't be long before you and Sister Luo are going back to Feishi, so let's take a group photo as a souvenir."

Xia Xiaoxue is a very delicate girl, she looks skinny and smart, and when she stares at you with big innocent eyes, she always has the urge to touch her head.

"Hmm!" Xia Xiaoxue nodded, glanced at my mobile phone on the table and asked, "Do you take pictures with your mobile phone?" ”

I pretended to hesitate and thought about it, and then said to Zhou Haoran on the other side of the table: "You shoot for us." Just take a picture with your phone and pass it on to me later. ”

Zhou Haoran was stunned for a moment, then picked up his phone with a smile.

Xia Xiaoxue and I stood back, looking at each other and standing side by side.

"The selfie looks big," I said

"Well, that's right." Xia Xiaoxue nodded shyly.

"It's done" Zhou Haoran put down his phone and swiped it, motioning for me to take a look.

My purpose is not to take pictures themselves, seeing this, I said to Zhou Haoran: "Take a few more photos, I don't believe in your photography skills, I'll pick it later." ”

After speaking, I put my arm around Xia Xiaoxue's shoulders again and put on a few intimate poses. Xia Xiaoxue looked at me with a flushed cheek and a pair of innocent big eyes.

"How did you shoot this, the technology really doesn't work!" I shook my head in disgust and pushed the dishes and chopsticks to him: "I want to pick a good one, can you help me send the dishes and chopsticks?" ”

Zhou Haoran sighed helplessly: "I can't grow up, blame my skills!" Are you so shameless?

After Zhou Haoran left, I quickly exited the album and found the chat page between him and Luo Qian.

When Zhou Haoran came back, he found that I was looking at his WeChat intently, and his eyes widened, "What are you looking at?" Give me ......."

Zhou Haoran, who snatched the mobile phone, was angry, looked at me hesitantly and asked, "Lu Xia, how can you read my WeChat?" It's too disrespectful of other people's privacy! ”

"I just want to know if you two have an adulterous affair." I scoffed: "But you guys are so weird, cheating on you, cheating on you, why do you always say I? ”

Zhou Haoran scratched the back of his head, with an embarrassed expression: "Lu Xia, we ...... I'm worried about you! ”

"I'll go! Are you overflowing with fatherly love here? I'm a good guy, and I'm healthier than you! ”

After saying that, she left and bumped into Xia Xiaoxue head-on, she asked with a confused face: "Brother Lu, ...... you guys?"

"We're fine!" I responded, bypassed it and walked back to the office.

There was a two-hour break in the afternoon, and the office was empty. In the past, I would also go to the lounge to take a nap, but today I had a little unpleasant trouble with Zhou Haoran, so I wanted to find a place to be quiet.

Sitting at the desk, I sent Zhao Qian a WeChat:

"I also had a fight with Zhou Haoran today, or because of you."

"Hahaha, you guys quarrel, I'm honored to be your fuse"

"These two people have become so strange now, paying attention to my words and deeds when I eat and sleep, and discussing them. It was as if I was an alien creature, so they tied me up and put me on the operating table for dissection. ”

"Then you have to be careful, it is possible that they are alien creatures, maybe one day they will do it."
