Chapter 22: Ye Haoxing is back?
The intense work of the project has come to an end, some time ago everyone worked very hard, and the initial market response was also very good, while the second phase of marketing has not been officially launched, in order to thank you, Jensen decided to invite colleagues from the Anman department and colleagues from his department to go to a five-star hotel for a buffet.
······
Make an appointment about the time and place, the group came to a more famous [Luo Baichuan] hotel in Luozhou City, the second floor is a rich variety of Chinese and Western buffets, which is also a relatively high-end five-star buffet restaurant in Luozhou City, with an average of 388 yuan per person.
Jensen and An Manman walked in front with everyone, and as soon as they entered the door, the small words behind them fully exposed everyone's inner excitement.
"Wow, it's my first time here..."
"I've been here once, and there's a lot of stuff here, and it's delicious."
"I'll have to let go of it and eat it later."
"That's not it..."
"Mr. Jian is really generous enough to invite us to eat in such a high-end place, is this a public expense, or a person? Haha"
Everyone, you say a word, and I talk about a word.
Suddenly, the topic began to talk about Jenson's gossip.
"Hee-hee, Jane should always be a handsome master, but I don't know if it's single..."
"Haha, don't be a nymphomaniac."
Xu Qian glanced in the direction of An Manman, and replied in a gossip and joking tone:
"Probably not! However, do you think that this Jane always takes good care of our Sister An? ”
"Is there one?"
The gossip atmosphere of colleagues began to thicken, looking at Jenson and An Man in front of them, revealing a wicked smile.
"I think there is, once I saw Sister An and Mr. Jian discussing the plan in the office, our Sister An's rubber band was broken, and her hair fell down, so Mr. Jane's eyes were straight when she looked at Sister An..."
"Wow, there's something else..."
"I also remember once, the last time Sister An went to buy food for everyone, Mr. Jian also followed, and bought nuts for Sister An alone, how did you say that he knew that Sister An liked to eat nuts the most?"
"Hahaha, these two have a show."
Three or five colleagues gossiped together, talking and laughing.
······
"Everyone is free to dine, you're welcome." Jenson beckoned everyone to find a seat and sit down.
The colleagues all sat together, and motioned for An Manman to go and sit with Jensen, and the leader was the only thing to sit together.
Seeing everyone sitting down and An Man standing, Jensen took the initiative to speak and said to An Manman:
"Why don't you sit here with me."
An Man glanced at the nearby two-person table and thought to himself: That's all there is to it for now.
······
An Manman and Jensen sat down, seeing that there would be a lot of people, and they didn't rush to get food, but slowed down for a while, and chatted briefly:
"How is Wu Yikai's restaurant progressing now?"
"Well, fortunately, with your help, the progress is faster than expected, if it goes well, it will open at the end of next month, you can go and see it if you have time, you are welcome to come."
Jenson smiled and responded:
"Okay, if you have time then, you will definitely go."
"There aren't many people now, so go get something to eat?"
An Man looked around.
"Okay, you go get food first, I'll pour two glasses of water, what kind of water do you want?"
"Then pour me a glass of lemonade, thank you."
So the two separated.
······
3 days ago, due to Ye Haoxing's outstanding work performance in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the company's development trend in the past two years is very good, and the mobile game market has great potential, so the head office intends to open a branch in Luozhou City, and let Ye Haoxing come back as a vice president to preside over the relevant work of the branch.
······
At noon today, Ye Haoxing happened to have dinner on the second floor of the hotel with his female assistant Xiao Yu and two colleagues.
As soon as Ye Haoxing entered the restaurant, he inadvertently saw An Manman who was wandering around, holding a plate in his hand. Ye Haoxing thought to himself, he hadn't seen him for three years, but he still recognized An Manman at a glance, so he planned to take the initiative to step forward and say hello to his old acquaintance.
At this time, An Manman happened to see the spicy fried shrimp, which she likes to eat, and was about to pick up the vegetables with tongs, when a voice suddenly appeared behind her:
"Full, what a coincidence! Long time no see! ”
An Man turned around and saw Ye Haoxing, who had not seen him for more than three years, suddenly appear in front of him, with a surprised expression, at a loss, before he could pick up the tongs and pick up the vegetables, the plate in his hand fell to the ground, clang, broken.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't know I scared you! ”
Ye Haoxing looked at An Man so shocked, and he was also at a loss, with an expression of "I didn't mean it", and the two of them looked embarrassed.
······
"Waiter, please sweep it!"
Ye Haoxing called the waiter to come over and help, the voice was a little loud, and many people around looked in the direction of the two of them.
An Manman relieved, his eyes were flustered, he wanted to leave, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything...
The waiter came over to clean up the broken plates on the floor, and after An Man said sorry, he pretended to be calm and went somewhere else, took the plate again, picked up a little food casually, and quickly slipped back to his place.
······
Jensen, who had just come back with two glasses of water, also heard the sound of the plate falling to the ground just now, and looked towards the place where the sound came from, but saw An Man walking back with a low and panicked expression, and there was a strange man standing in place and stupidly looking at her in the distance, Jensen didn't know what was going on, wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.
······
Jenson came back with the food, and found that An Man was in his position, with his head down, and the food was forked with one hand but he didn't eat, looking very dazed. He felt that An Manman was in a wrong mood, and seemed to have guessed who the person just now might be, so he told his colleagues that he had forgotten one thing, and pulled An Manman to leave first.
······
And this scene was also seen by several colleagues, and everyone found out for the first time that their Sister An was so abnormal, and after An Man left, the small group of the department exploded. [There is no leader in this group, just a few colleagues, usually used for chatting]
[Expression: Shocked!] Did you just see Sister An and that man? ”
[Expression: Shh!] I saw it, I don't know what the man said, Sister An actually dropped the plate on the ground. ”
"[Expression: question mark face] I don't know what their relationship is?"
"[Expression: Guess] Could it be an ex-boyfriend?"
"I don't know..."
"It's possible, look at Sister An's reaction, I've never seen Sister An like this..."
"However, just now, Mr. Jian left directly with Sister An."
"Jane is always domineering..."
"Haha, if it were me, I would have run away earlier, otherwise it would be embarrassing."
"Yes, I just saw that the man kept looking in the direction of Sister An."
······
Although Shi Xiaobo left the company, he was still in this small group, and he usually didn't pay much attention to the news in the group, so he occasionally played with his colleagues.
opened the group this afternoon, but the group was lively discussing Sister An's affairs in the hotel today, which attracted Shi Xiaobo's attention, and he guessed if "he" was back.
He hated himself for seeing the message too late, so he hurriedly asked in the group:
"Which hotel are you having dinner in?"
"[Nakbaekcheon] Grand Hotel"
"Xiaobo, your speed is too slow, this point, we have all finished eating."
······
Shi Xiaobo immediately asked his buddies around him to help check the "[Luo Baichuan] Hotel" to see if there was a person named Ye Haoxing who had a recent check-in or dining record.
Jensen took An Man Man to get into the car and leave, Jensen drove the car with An Man for a ride, and Jenson didn't say a word in the car, because he felt that it was not appropriate to say anything at this time, and he had to let An Man be quiet first.
······
The car was driving, and at this time, the WeChat text message on Anman's mobile phone rang, ding~ding~ding~
On the other end of the phone, Shi Xiaobo repeatedly edited the text message to comfort An Manman, but he didn't know how to speak, and finally sent a message to An Manman's WeChat:
"I heard he's back, are you okay?"
An Manman glanced at it and replied simply:
"I'm fine, thank you!"
"If you need it, you can come to me."
Shi Xiaobo replied again, but An Manman never replied.
······
After a while, An Manman's mobile phone rang, and the caller was from an unfamiliar number.
"Hey! Hello! ”
"Hey, is it full? It's me, great, after so many years, your mobile phone number hasn't changed..."
An Manman, who picked up the phone, heard that the voice was Ye Haoxing, and he was silent and did not speak.
"I'm sorry I was too reckless at the hotel today, I'm sorry!"
"Are you okay?"
An Manman tried to stabilize his emotions and slowly said:
"Good!" Then he added:
"It's okay, I'll hang up!"
"Don't." On the other end of the phone, Ye Haoxing hurriedly spoke:
"I'm now back in Luoju to take charge of some game projects, and I'm staying at the [Luobaichuan] Hotel for the time being······"
Ye Haoxing wanted to continue, but was interrupted by An Manman:
"I'm hanging!"
Doodoo~Doodoo~Doodoo~
······
An Manman's series of actions and reactions, Jenson saw it, and the car drove for a while.
Then, Jenson parked the car on the side of the road, turned to look at An Manman, and said softly:
"It's someone you don't want to see, right?"
An Man was asked by Jensen, a little confused.
"Your last boyfriend."
An Manman knew that he couldn't avoid this question, so he controlled his slightly moist eyes and his heart that couldn't be calm for a long time, and replied:
"Yes! It's been more than three years, and I thought we would never see each other again, but I didn't expect it to be so unexpected. ”
This is the first time An Manman has talked about his feelings with others.
Jenson took a slow breath and said:
"Do you not forget him, or did he hurt you too much?"
I don't know why, Jenson asked a little too much inexplicably today, and An Manman didn't seem to want to say too much, but responded lightly:
"Can you take me to the Wutong intersection?"
Jensen knew that An Manman didn't want to talk more, so he didn't ask again, so he drove An Manman to the Wutong intersection, and before An Manman got out of the car, Jensen spoke again:
"You didn't eat anything today, if you feel better for a while, remember to eat something, don't let your stomach go hungry."
"Okay, thank you for your concern, and so do you!"
After An Manman finished speaking, he got out of the car and prepared to walk home by himself.
······
After An Manman got out of the car, Jensen did not drive the car away, but looked at the back of An Manman leaving, and after An Manman walked a distance, he got out of the car and followed An Manman until An Manman walked into the Lujingyuan community.
Looking at the background of An Manman's disappearance, Jensen felt that An Manman would have a lot of memories in his heart, and it would be difficult to sleep tonight.
