23. Long time no see

After discussing with my cousin, I plan to stabilize in City B. So I looked for a house and moved. My cousin was worried that I would live alone, and said that he would return his house and replace it with a larger one. The sprouts don't want me to move either. But I don't want to be a light bulb anymore.

In the end, I found a house in the same neighborhood as my cousin.

It is more difficult to find a job than to find a house, and I didn't have any work experience as soon as I graduated. There are no ideals and pursuits. It was a very low time. Feel like a useless person.

Until Wen Bingchen called me and asked me where I was going to play during the winter vacation. I told him I was already in City B. He asked me to meet, and I told him about what had happened recently.

I feel much better when I say it. Although I still feel that I am a useless person.

"Come to work at my company, right? I'm missing an assistant. ”

"I don't know anything if I have no work experience?"

"How did you become so unconfident? If you don't go to school, you will be given a one-month probationary period, and if you don't do well, you will be fired. ”

"But ......" But he and An Luo opened a company together, so don't I see him every day. I'm looking forward and scared. Has he been with the person he likes for so long? Or did they break up?

"Don't do it, come to work next Monday and give you a few days to prepare."

The next time I saw Anlo, he was in a suit and sitting in front of a computer. Serious work. People say that men who work hard are the most handsome. It's true.

Wen Bingchen brought me to him and introduced: "This is my newly recruited assistant, don't torture me anymore." ”

He didn't look up and was still staring at the computer.

I don't know how to say anything, I don't know what to say.

"Hey, can you respect the little pity who will be called by you as a cow and a horse in the future?" Wen Bingchen said and blocked An Luo's computer screen.

He got up and said, "Hello." When the eye met, the half-outstretched hand stopped.

"Long time no see." I say. I don't know if I should reach out or not.

He sat down, pushed away Wen Bingchen's hand in front of the computer screen, and continued to work.

Ignore him, he's a workaholic. Let me tell you a little bit about the company.

He took me around the company, but I didn't expect that the scale of this "small company" in Wen Bingchen's mouth was not small.

In the end, he asked a girl named "Zero Ding" to take me. Ling Ding is two years older than me and is now the manager of the HR department. Exceptionally kind. She also specially told me: "First break, although most of the single girls in the company are worried about Mr. An and Mr. Wen, as an assistant, you must have a minimum of professional ethics, and you are here to work." ”

"Are they both single?"

"Don't talk about this kind of gossip in the future, it's not your job, and don't discuss the rights and wrongs of your boss. You just have to do your job. Although you are Mr. Wen's assistant, Mr. Wen generally doesn't come to the company often, so you still have to find Mr. An for many things. Mr. An just looks very fierce, I haven't seen him scold anyone since the establishment of the company, but Mr. Wen's assistants were all asked by Mr. An to leave. So you'd better be a little more measured. ”

I listened carefully to Sister Lingding's teachings. There are also some habits she said about Wen Bingchen and An Luo.

Wen Bingchen only works two or three days a week, and his work is usually assigned to his assistant. However, although he spends a lot of time drinking, he has a wide circle of friends, and he won a lot of cooperation in the company.

An Luo is primarily responsible for the company's operations. He also often does some planning and design projects.

I didn't expect that my first day on the job was about getting to know people I used to know. There was also someone I used to think was familiar enough with him. But I learned about a complete stranger to him.

"At the beginning of the year, let's go to dinner together after work?" Wen Bingchen came over to me before he got off work.

"Yes, but you haven't gotten off work yet?"

"I'm the boss, I said that getting off work is getting off work, waiting for me to call An Luo."

"It's better to wait until the end of work, I left early with my two bosses on the first day of work, isn't that okay?" I thought of Sister Lingding's exhortation just now. You have to learn to keep your distance from your boss and get closer to your colleagues. The work will be much smoother.

"You can do whatever you say." Wen Bingchen shrugged.

"Also, can you keep a little distance from me during work hours in the future, I don't want to be a gossip for colleagues to discuss in the pantry."

"Who told you that?"

"That's what happens in TV dramas."

"Look less at that non-nutritious stuff."

"Drama is like life, do you know it, just keep your distance from me anyway. You two go to the restaurant first, and I'll be there later. Anyway, you two left work early and no one said anything. ”

"I can't help it."

By the time I got off work and arrived at the location of a Japanese restaurant sent by Wen Bingchen, they had already arrived. An Luo was a little surprised to see me. Maybe Wen Bingchen didn't tell him, I'll come too.

He and Wen Bingchen sat facing each other, and I was a little embarrassed for a while and didn't know which side I should sit.

"Oh, do you two want to be like this, like this, weren't we all good friends before." Wen Bingchen said, got up and pulled me to sit next to An Luo, "After I graduated, you two quarreled?" ”

"Nope." I replied.

"Then why is this so, and he will be angry when I mention you in front of An Luo."

Is it? He's going to get angry when he mentions me? In my junior year, he inexplicably began to ignore me. It was he who said that he had someone he liked when he rejected Su Mu. I thought he was afraid that the person he liked would misunderstand and start to stay away from me.

Where did I mess with him? I looked at Anlo with doubts. He just glared at Wen Bingchen.

"Would you like to solve the misunderstanding today? Will we work together in the future? Wen Bingchen said firmly, as he was bound to achieve his goal.

"There's no misunderstanding," An Luo said, picking up his glass and toasting.

"Really, not?" I finished drinking a glass of wine.

This sake is so unpleasant that I choked on it because I drank it too quickly.

"It's okay."

They both handed over tissues at the same time.

I had to take it myself, but I didn't take anyone's from the table, "It's okay." ”

"Since there is no misunderstanding, we will still be the same as before in the future." Wen Bingchen raised his glass as he spoke. "Have a drink together and celebrate the reunion."

"How can you two start a company together" After three rounds of drinking, I was already slightly drunk, so I dared to say the words that I suppressed in my heart with the strength of wine.

"It would have been good for me to work in an advertising agency after graduation, but the boss was not a thing, so I resigned, I couldn't stand the restraints of people, so I had to start my own business, just after An Luo graduated, I started a business with him, but I didn't expect him to agree. Anyway, why do you agree? ”

"I think it's a challenge." An Luo replied.

"Congratulations, you succeeded."

"Why did you go to the mountains to teach as soon as you graduated, and there was no news for more than three years?" Wen Bingchen asked me again.

"At that time, I was very confused as soon as I graduated, and I didn't seem to be ready to face this troubled world, so I went to the mountains to hide and relax, and by the way, I thought about what I liked in life."

"So what do you like?"

"I'm more confused now than in the mountains."

"Why?"

"I was able to teach children knowledge in the mountains, but now I feel like I'm worthless. Nothing. It's still like a child, but it's no longer a child. ”

"How can it be useless, I like you, because the love letter you wrote to me for others really attracted me, if only you wrote it to me. Now that we're both single, why don't we try? ”

"Don't joke with me, let's be buddies for life. Here, brother, a toast. ”

"Cheers!"

Anlo listened quietly to the two of us. Drink yourself a drink every now and then.

Finally Anlo sent me home. I've broken the process. Anyway, when he woke up the next day, he was asleep on my couch.

While I was making breakfast, Anlo woke up. He just sat there and looked at me. I don't know why, when I remember when we were making blackboard newspapers together in junior high school, he looked at me like that.

For a moment the two of them were silent, not knowing what to say, until the smell of burning came, and I panicked to turn off the fire. As a result, I knocked over the pot and was burned to my feet by oil.

An Luo ran over instantly: "Why is it still like this, clumsy." ”

"I'm fine."

He carried me to the couch and took ice from the fridge and put it on it.

"I'll go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine, you put ice on it first, don't move."

Soon he came back from buying the medicine, and when he watched him rub the medicine on me, I had a delusion for a moment.

"Thank you!"

"Let's rest at home today!"

"No, I went to work on the first day yesterday, and I asked for leave today, it's not good. This little injury, I can walk. Anyway, Wen Bingchen said that I was studying for a week, and I would not be assigned any work. ”

"Okay."

"Do you want a sandwich or porridge for breakfast? I'll order takeout. ”

"Don't decide, I'll do it."

Before I could react, he had already gone to the kitchen.

Does he cook too? I remember that the house he used to live in had only drinks in the refrigerator. But his house was also this kind of open kitchen. Unfortunately, this house does not have large floor-to-ceiling windows.

Looking at his busy back in the kitchen, I have an irrepressible sadness in my heart, my life has always been at a loss, except that I like him from beginning to end.

It's been more than ten years, what is between me and him?

Thinking about it, tears flowed out.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, the smoke is too choking."

"Is there one?"

"Yes."

"Let's go eat," he said, hugging me to the table.

There was a moment when I wanted to confess and tell him that I wanted to eat the breakfast he made every day. Covet his bosom. But it is like a fish in the throat. It's hard to put into words.
