Chapter 107: I Spent Five Years in the United States.
"Well, I'm fine."
Qingwei responded lightly, she has a light temperament, and the woman on the other end of the phone is also weak, but the two of them have some common hearts, so they don't need to say too much to understand.
There was some strange noise on the other side of the microphone, as if someone was coming from her side, she took the microphone and said unhurriedly: "Go back quickly, it's cold outside." ”
Qingwei subconsciously pulled the clothes on her body, and after answering, she remembered something and advised: "Be careful, Xiao Yuqing, this woman is a little extreme, even a little crazy." ”
Thinking of what Xiao Yuqing has done over the years, Qingwei felt a little disgusted in her heart.
Such a woman, who grew up in a wealthy family, can get anything she wants, and after a long time, she has developed such a bad character, even if it is the moon in the sky, as long as she wants it, she has to let someone pick it off for her.
Over the years, Xiao Yuqing has been by her side, and many people have been embarrassed by her.
If he didn't endure enough, it would be impossible to stay by Xiao Yuqing's side for so long.
A woman's low chuckle came from the microphone, her voice was soft, with some soothing charm: "Don't worry, her rank is a little lower!" ”
The contempt for Xiao Yuqing in these words is self-evident.
Hearing her say this, Qingwei knew that she already knew how to deal with Xiao Yuqing, and she was a little relieved in her heart, so she only said: "When I go back, I will send you an email to say something, and you will see it tomorrow." ”
Although she said that, Qingwei knew that the email she sent would not stay overnight.
I'll read it that night.
This is a habit she has cultivated for many years, and she will not miss any news, nor will she delay and delay what she should do because of anything.
The phone had been hung up, Qingwei put her hands in her pockets, and looked at the road in the distance.
In the cold wind, there is a street lamp every few meters, and in the middle of the night, all of them are lit up, one by one, illuminating the swaying vehicles coming and going on the road, and the cars whistling past seem to be covered with a layer of mysterious dim light.
Carrying one story after another, blending into the night, and moving towards different life trajectories.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, she finally stopped a car.
After opening the back door, she just wanted to sit in, but at this time, a hand suddenly stretched out horizontally from her side, blocking her, and then she smelled a burst of alcohol coming to her face, and her body was touched by others.
Turning to the side slightly, there was already someone, one step ahead of her, and got into the car.
Such a sudden situation made Qingwei frown unconsciously, and the man who got into the car didn't forget to stretch out his hand and pull her, and Qingwei, who didn't react, was suddenly pulled by that force and fell into the car.
Then, solidly, he fell into the arms of the man, who smelled of smoke and wine.
There was a faint halo in the taxi, which came down from the head, and in the chaos, when Qingwei raised his head, he saw a good face.
That face is really good-looking, the contour is so delicate that even she is ashamed of herself as a woman, the corners of her oblique eyes seem to be full of peach blossoms, and the pair of peach blossom eyes are slightly squinted, and when she looks at her, she is very vague and ambiguous.
It was a man, about twenty-five years old.
Wearing a black high-neck undershirt with a medium-length tweed coat on the outside, it is very ordinary, but on his body, it is matched with a particularly eye-catching feeling, this man is undoubtedly good-looking and attractive.
A thought quickly flashed through Qingwei's mind at that time, if she was four or five years younger, she would definitely feel heartbeat for such a man who was looking at her ambiguously with peach blossom eyes.
It's a pity that she has passed the age where she can be excited.
She suddenly felt a little regretful.
After the regret, there is anger.
She struggled to get out of the man's arms, but the man's hand was tightly gripping her shoulder, she was very angry, but she was not the kind of person who would panic and yell when something happened, not to mention, in this car, in addition to her and the man, there was a taxi driver.
This made her feel a little more at ease.
She was annoyed and wanted to push him out of the car, but it was just a taxi, she could give it to him, and she could call another one herself.
Because the struggle was a bit strong, the master in front looked at them from the rearview mirror, and then said: "You two don't make trouble in my car, tell me the address first, I'll send you home, and you will make trouble behind closed doors." ”
The master only regarded this couple as a couple, and there was a conflict between the two people.
So I kindly persuaded me.
Qingwei was stunned for a moment, could it be that the driver didn't see her standing on the side of the road just now to call a car, and then was pulled into the car by this drunk man?
She didn't even know where the hell this man came from.
When did she and him become a couple?
It's ridiculous.
The man seemed to be really drunk, except for hugging her tightly, he buried his head in her shoulder, and there was a heavy smell of alcohol between his breaths, Qingwei had been by Xiao Yuqing's side for a long time, Xiao Yuqing was an alcoholic, she could still tolerate such a taste.
However, what she can't stand is, why did she end up with this man?
"Master, I don't know him!"
She could only try to explain to the taxi driver that she really didn't know the person.
However, her explanation sounded very pale, because the man was obviously drunk and unconscious, and whatever she said was awkward in the eyes of the driver.
So the driver didn't take it seriously at all, and said bitterly: "Girl, you can't be so ruthless, although there is a contradiction, but he is drunk like this now, you can't just leave him without knowing him, it's too pitiful." ”
"Besides, if you leave him behind, I don't know where to send him, so I can only leave him on the side of the road."
The driver estimated that he was about fifty years old, and the whole person looked very kind, he was afraid that Qingwei would really leave this man, and threatened: "On such a cold day, he is drunk like this, no one cares about him, and if he freezes for a night, he will freeze to death." ”
This means that if she doesn't care about him, he doesn't care, and he will die.
Under such moral kidnapping, he hopes that Qingwei can find out with his conscience and never ignore this person.
Qingwei originally thought it was a little funny, but with a smile and a smile, he glanced at the man next to him, and inexplicably softened, he leaned on her body softly, even if he was drunk and unconscious, he still held her tightly.
seems to regard her as a last supporter, for fear that as soon as he lets go, she will disappear.
This feeling is a little sad.
Qingwei sighed and said nothing.
She has always felt that she is not a person who is easily soft-hearted, but now she feels very strange, and she can't say why, maybe she remembers that she used to be the same as this person.
Drunken and living on the streets, it seems that if you catch a random person, you have a pillar.
Fortunately, the person she caught at that time really became her last straw.
That's why she is what she is now.
After a few minutes of mental struggle, Qingwei didn't struggle anymore to get out of the car, sighed and said to the driver: "Master, you drive forward and see where there is a hotel." ”
"Okay."
The driver happily responded, thinking that he had finally moved Qingwei and successfully persuaded the two to reconcile.
Because he knew that there was a drunk person in the car, he didn't dare to drive the car too fast, but drove forward slowly, it was already past two o'clock in the morning, there were fewer cars on the road, and there were almost no pedestrians.
He didn't seem to be in a hurry to move on to the next guest.
Drive forward slowly, chatting with Qingwei as you go.
"You young people, you just don't know how to cherish feelings, people live for a lifetime, and some people miss it, maybe they will never see it again."
This sounds like he is admonishing Qingwei, but it sounds more like he is sighing, maybe because he experienced some losses when he was young, and now it seems that he has left some regrets in his heart.
However, these words touched Qingwei a little.
In her life, there are not many people who come and go around her, and I don't know if she lost it because she didn't cherish it, or because it was originally fate.
Thinking of what she asked Xiao Yuqing to say tonight, Qingwei wanted to laugh a little, in fact, when she told Xiao Yuqing that what she gained and lost was fate, she was also telling herself, maybe she was also comforting herself.
Comfort yourself and say that those who are lost and those who can't come back are all arranged by fate.
always felt that if she didn't talk, the atmosphere would be a little awkward, even though Qingwei felt a little strange, she still opened her mouth: "You are right." ”
It's respect.
The master glanced at Qingwei from the rearview mirror, and felt that this girl was quite qualified, and then liked to talk more and more: "I look at you, you are a good girl, why do you have such a quarrel with your boyfriend?" He looked very sad when he drank like this. ”
Qingwei wants to laugh, a man is drunk because he is sad?
Maybe it's because you're playing too much, and this situation is the possibility of occupying the majority.
However, she still subconsciously glanced at the man leaning on her shoulder, he was younger than her, when she looked at him, she always felt that she was looking at her brother, this feeling was a little strange, Qingwei in her heart, she made herself laugh.
"Girl, let me tell you, cherish the person in front of you, don't regret it until you are separated!"
Although Qingwei felt that the driver was a little talkative, she was still a little moved: "Master, you are so enthusiastic." ”
In this merciless world, there are too few affectionate people.
The driver smiled innocently.
Then driving forward, Qingwei thought that he would not speak anymore, but after a while, his voice with a sigh came from the quiet car: "You young people are all like this, you don't cherish it when you're together, and you're not sincere enough when you're apart!" ”
Later, Qingwei always remembered this sentence and never forgot it.
used his own life to confirm the life insights he heard from a stranger.
Not long after the car drove forward, a hotel appeared on the side of the road: "Girl, here it is." ”
Qingwei glanced at it and nodded: "Okay." ”
paid to get out of the car, with the help of the driver, she still wasted a lot of effort to move the man who was more than 1.8 meters tall out of the car, and originally wanted to ask the master to help send him to the room, but when she saw that the master seemed to be leaving, she was embarrassed to speak.
I had to help him walk towards the hotel alone.
Compared to Qingwei, who is only one meter and six or seven children, the height and weight of the man who is close to her are too large, and she has to work very hard to move him, and it is quite difficult to walk step by step.
At one point, she asked herself in her heart, why meddle?
This man has nothing to do with her, leaving him, even if he really freezes to death, it has nothing to do with her, if there is some fate, she can at most read the news from the newspaper tomorrow morning that he was drunk and froze to death.
There will be some regrets in my heart, but it has nothing to do with her!
She was so tired that she couldn't breathe, she could only sigh, now there is no point in thinking about this, people have been brought out, and they can't be left alone.
Open a room for him, and think of it as a good deed every day.
The doorman of the hotel saw Qingwei staggering towards this side from a distance, and immediately understood what the situation was, walked quickly towards her, and then asked gentlemanly: "Miss, do you need help?" ”
Qingwei naturally couldn't ask for it, so she hurriedly divided the weight on her body and gave more than half of it to the doorman, and the whole person was relaxed.
Finally, with the help of the doorman, I got people into the hotel lobby, and I encountered other problems.
When checking in, the front desk of the hotel needs two people's ID cards, Qingwei explained that she did not check in, just sent people up, the front desk lady smiled very politely and said: "That also needs two people's ID cards, this check-in gentleman needs to check in, and you go up to do a visitor registration!" ”
After going around in a circle, I still need the documents of two people.
Qingwei looked at the sleeping man lying on the sofa in embarrassment, gritted his teeth, and still started to rummage through his pockets.
In the end, she still felt a little uncomfortable doing such a thing, after all, the man in front of her was just a stranger who was picked up by her.
Luckily, he had a wallet with him.
There was another pile of cash in the wallet, as well as ID cards and other documents, she didn't look carefully, took out the ID card from the wallet, handed it to the front desk, and paid for the room with her own money.
It's better not to bang other people's belongings easily.
Finally opened the room, she did the visitor registration, and found a waiter to send the drunk man to the room.
Looking at the unconscious man who was left on the bed, Qingwei couldn't understand how this man could support himself into her car in such a drunk situation?
There are some questions, and I can't solve them, anyway, it's a stranger, she helped him, and she didn't expect anything in return, she helped him cover the quilt and wanted to leave.
When he got up, through the blurred light in the room, he could see that the man's closed eyes were slender and good-looking, but the equally good-looking brows were still tightly wrinkled, as if he was in his sleep, reliving something that made him feel unpleasant.
Everyone has their own dissatisfaction, even such a drunk man on the street has his own sadness.
By the time she got home, it was already past four o'clock in the morning.
But fortunately, the next day was the weekend, which gave her some time to rest.
After washing, she didn't forget to prepare some information for the woman, and then sent it by email, she sat in front of the computer for a long time, finished the work at hand, and glanced at the status of the email before going to sleep, and it turned out to be unreceived.
It was strange that the woman had almost never looked at her email for so long, as far as she could remember.
She has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and she has to clean up her emails immediately after reading them, and never keeps them.
Thinking about her current state, it may be tonight, she has someone to wait.
I couldn't help but sigh, the tiredness of the day made her fall asleep quickly.
Two days passed quickly, she got up early in the morning on Monday, it was such a cold day, she still had to go downstairs to run a lap to maintain her full spirit to go to work, and at the end of the day, she didn't see Xiao Yuqing.
I didn't know what to do, and I didn't let her follow, but just told me a thing or two over the phone.
In the afternoon, Gu Hanshi's special assistant Tang Xian came over, and there were some details of cooperation to discuss, she went to talk about it as Xiao Yuqing's representative, and the whole negotiation process was quite smooth, after a friendly handshake, she sent Tang Xian downstairs.
It's past the end of work, and it's dark early in the winter, and it's already dark at seven o'clock.
The lights at the entrance of the company building are bright, and the light of the street lamps is indeed clustered in the darkness in the distance.
"Don Tesuke, goodbye!"
She said goodbye to Tang Xian with a formulaic smile, Tang Xian didn't react, and looked at her inexplicably, this look made Qingwei a little strange.
Not wanting to communicate too much with this person, she nodded politely and smiled and turned away.
As soon as he took two steps out, Tang Xian, who was behind him, suddenly asked: "Miss Lin stayed in the United States five years ago?" ”
This question came in vain, Qingwei paused in his footsteps, then turned his head to look at Tang Xian, and asked rhetorically with no expression on his face: "Where was I five years ago, and what does this have to do with our cooperation?" ”
In addition to work contacts, she was reluctant to talk to Tang Xian about anything else.
She had heard some things about this man in private, about the matter between him and Zhou Xi, another famous chief secretary by Gu Hanshi's side, although few people knew about this matter, but, unfortunately, she was one of the insiders.
Therefore, from the bottom of my heart, I don't like to have deep friendships with such people.
