Chapter 12: Unspeakable
After sending Xia Jiangang home, Xia Meng's days passed day by day.
Schumann didn't have much time to stay with Zhang Cheng in the following days, after all, that phone call made Schumann, who was already unwilling to admit defeat, return to work.
At the end of the day, Schumann took the group of salespeople to sit down and relax in a bar not far from the company. The decoration of the bar is avant-garde, but Schumann is a little absent-minded, and he doesn't want to stay in this place for a while, but after all, he has been absent from work for a long time, and he doesn't cheer up the whole group, but he is afraid that the performance of the third quarter at the beginning will really plummet.
In the private room on the second floor of the bar, a young man just drank a few bottles of beer, and began to jump up and down like a monkey, especially active, taking the opportunity of Schumann to be the east, one would ask for a fruit plate, and the other would ask for wine. It's like killing a big family. Schumann drank a lot of beer, was not in high spirits, looked unconcerned, sat on the sofa, and looked through his phone.
"Sister Shu, it's hard to come out and get together, don't look at your phone anymore! Drink one more! β
Schumann put down his mobile phone, picked up a bottle of beer from the table, raised the bottle to the young man, smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and muttered: "Little stone, if you are like such a chicken blood when you work, what do you think I need to worry about sales performance?" β
A room full of people laughed and broke their heads at the small stones. Xiao Shi's surname is Shi, when he first joined the company, everyone called him Xiao Shi, and he was called Xiao Shi when he was called Shun Mouth.
Xiao Shi sat next to Schumann, opened another bottle of wine, put it on Schumann's shoulder boldly, and said with a slanted smile: "As long as Sister Shu makes a route, I Xiao Shi will fight wherever I want, and I will not flinch!" β
Schumann snorted with a look of disdain, raised the wine bottle, and after drinking half of it, he put down the wine bottle, squinted at the small stone, and said: "You are a person, you have been following me since graduating from college, and you have grown in two years?" β
Xiaoshi didn't care, he was used to Schumann's long time in the company, usually he only promised, and today he chattered again when he came out to play, and he smiled with a smile on his face: "Sister Shu is really my eldest sister, and she didn't forget to count me when she came out to play!" β
The eldest sister is big, and Schumann, who was already a little drunk, couldn't be happy when she heard such a title. Although he just fell in love in the past few days, he threw his crisis of age out of the clouds for a while, but the age is still on his body, and the sense of crisis is still there, Schumann can't help but shudder, looking at the colleagues who are still full of youth and vitality in the entire private room, he is indeed a little out of place.
Schumann realized that he had become the leader of the entire sales team, and he was one of the oldest people in his group. In the second quarter, Schumann ranked first, and today the leader talked to him during the day, in addition to encouragement, and finally gave Schumann a promise, at the end of the year, Schumann was promoted to sales director.
Sister Nan, who is now in the position of sales director, is the benefactor who took Schumann into the industry hand in hand, Schumann has been with her for six years, and the time is not long or short, but she did not expect that in just a few years, she would have the opportunity to replace Sister Nan as the sales director.
The youngest sales director in the company, this name sounds really good, but in fact it has become an unconcealable truth of Schumann's age, she is no longer the youthful girl she used to be.
Schumann habitually picked up the bottle and poured the rest of the beer into his stomach one by one, only to feel a chill in his stomach. Schumann didn't want to think about these age worries anymore, and looked back at Xiao Shi: "It's inconvenient to be in the company today, how did Lao Zhang find Song Huaishu's big thick legs?" β
When Little Stone heard Schumann's words, he became interested. This kid jumps up and down in the company every day, and he doesn't do much in business, but he scavenges and collects many strange things like a three-eight, no one knows.
"Sister Shu, let me tell you, this Lao Zhang and Song Huaishu are close friends in the family, and they didn't look very good in the past, who knew that they had been defeated in your hands for several quarters in a row, so they had to show this hole card! You say, how insidious is this person? β
Schumann felt a little strange, it stands to reason that it is common to wait and see the market to find an opportunity to make a move, but everyone knows that money is a good thing, how can it be dormant for nearly a year before taking it out?
Schumann didn't believe it, she shook her head and laughed coldly.
"Sister, you don't know, this Song Huaishu has invested 10 million in us, and this time the sales performance is more than 8 million more than ours, and it will be difficult to surpass Lao Zhang this quarter!"
"Ten million ......" Schumann chuckled in his heart, it is said that no matter how normal it is, there really be other groups to surpass him, at most congratulations and praise, and he is ashamed. But the three words of Song Huaishu made Schumann unhappy.
A person who is placed next to herself, she has never developed it, and she has been developed into a customer by others, and she can only watch, Schumann's heart is not happy.
"Have you signed it yet?" Schumann pretended not to care.
Xiaoshi shook his head and smiled: "Not yet, it is estimated that it will be soon, this news has just been released, our leaders can't close their happy mouths, yesterday in front of all the group members solemnly praised Brother Zhang, really...... Brother Zhang's face is angry! Good thing you weren't ...... yesterday."
A person who has always been suppressed by himself under the soles of his feet and has never seen it with his own eyes, at this moment, he can finally let himself have a psychological crisis, Schumann never thought that his best friend's fiancΓ© became a competitor's customer, and he also declared his dissatisfaction to Song Huaishu's son yesterday, Schumann smiled bitterly, who to reason with?
I don't know what time it is, Zhang Cheng's phone was as punctual as an alarm clock, Schumann told Zhang Cheng that he was at the bar, and it didn't take long for Zhang Cheng to arrive.
The boyfriend arrived at the bar, and everyone felt that they wanted to leave, and everyone left the private room of the bar for a while.
Zhang Cheng sent Schumann home, and Xia Meng, who was in the living room, watched the little couple enter the door and take off their shoes and change shoes.
"Can you two not stick together one day?" Xia Meng's voice was a little faint.
Zhang Cheng's face was a little embarrassed, and he quickly explained: "No, Schumann drank in the bar, and I went to send her back......"
In the past, Xia Meng's eyes appeared in front of Schumann's various drinks, and he came to the house in the dark with a key and no ability to go home, which is like this person who looks like a dog now, intellectually elegant, sexy and charming, is really a woman who pleases herself......
In fact, Xia Meng was surprised, you must know that in the past, Schumann and a man only got along for a week at most, and this one has already overtimed, and the feeling of love is getting worse, and there is no possibility of decomposition at all. Could it be that this time Schumann really met the lover of this life?
Zhang Cheng only stayed at home for a short time before going back. Schumann drank a stomach full of wine in the bar and did not eat, and after several toilet runs, he was already hungry. As soon as Zhang Cheng left, he clamored for Xia Meng to cook a bowl of noodles for her.
Xia Meng couldn't resist Schumann, but fortunately, it didn't take much effort to cook noodles. When Xia Meng brought the steaming noodles to Schumann, sat on the sofa, and watched Schumann stir up big waves and eat noodles, he didn't know why Xia Meng actually asked.
He ...... Do you know you've ever been divorced? β
Schumann was stunned for a moment, smiled lightly, and shook his head.
Xia Meng was stunned, as if he might anger Schumann, and asked cautiously, "Aren't you going to tell him?" After all, you ......"
Schumann picked out the chopped green onions and threw them into the trash, with a casual look on his face: "What's the hurry...... It's not a big deal......"
"But those ...... you were before" Xia Meng wanted to continue, but seeing that Schumann's expression seemed to be a little preoccupied, she didn't continue.
"Xia Meng, I know that you are for my good, me and Zhang Cheng, to be honest, I am serious...... I haven't figured out how to tell him, give me some time......" Schumann put down his chopsticks, put his hand around Xia Meng's shoulder, and smiled gently, "Then again, what are you and Song Huaishu going to do?" Are you really planning to drag it out until you get married? That's only two months left! What the hell do you think? β
Xia Meng lowered her head and shook her head and smiled bitterly, her mood was not much better than Schumann's, and thinking of Song Huaishu cast a shadow on her mood.
"I ...... Of course I don't want to marry him......"
Xia Meng's tone was a little helpless, a little resolute, and even a little sad and indignant that burst out from the bottom of his heart, as if marrying Song Huaishu was a helpless last resort.
Schumann didn't understand, if it wasn't for the last engagement, Schumann really didn't know that the good sisters around him were actually in love, and they actually got a lot of money, and they were quietly engaged. When she knew that she and Song Huaishu realized that marriage was just a few simple face-to-faces, and then under Xia Jiangang's matchmaking, instigation and coercion, they got engaged. Schumann felt that this was simply a fantasy story, too.
"If you don't want to get married, then cut through the mess quickly? What's the good of dragging it like this? β
Schumann dared to love and hate, he was happy to meet, and if he couldn't go on, he broke up, and never dragged mud and water. Such a temperament is difficult for Xia Meng to compare in his life. How many times the words came to his mouth, Xia Meng swallowed them. I can only accept the various arrangements given to me by fate.
"I understand the truth, but ...... I don't know how to say it. β
Xia Meng's personality is like a stuffy gourd, but such a character really brings Xia Meng too much indecision, too many ideas, and too many thoughts. She's really tired from life.
This night, Xia Meng and Schumann slept very late, lying on the bed in each other's bedrooms, thinking about the different man in their minds. One wants to completely break off this marriage that shouldn't have happened, but it's hard to talk about it. The other wants to continue to build her own happy life, but the truth she hides makes it difficult for her to speak.
The next morning, Schumann was woken up by the ringing of the telephone.
"Sister, Sister Shu, I received the news that Song Huaishu is coming to the company to sign a contract! Would you like to come and see the excitement? β
Schumann heard such news before he woke up early in the morning, and the day was enough to be gloomy.
