Chapter 59: Straight Male Cancer and Feminism
Chen Xiaoru went out to answer the phone with a smile just now, but when she came back, her face was not quite right. I was still thinking about how to refuse her proposal to marry Jin Lan and it seemed that it was unnecessary, because she pouted aggrievedly, and when she came back, she lowered her head silently and sorted out the documents to leave.
I politely asked, "What's wrong?" Happen... What's the matter? β
She looked up at me, and I felt as if I had been immobilized, and I was stunned on the spot.
Because her eyes are clearly jealous, very strong kind, I think, if her eyes can kill, I'm afraid I have a lot of holes in my body, I met such a god, I was naturally terrified, but I still didn't give up my professional norms, flattering smiled and pointed to the document and asked her tentatively: "Is there a problem with the cooperation case?" β
She glanced at me angrily, although she was a delicate beauty, but it still touched me a lot, and I was a little sad, so I stopped talking, and then watched her finish packing her things, and left with high heels.
I went to the general manager's office, and the general assistant told me that the general manager had gotten off work, so I wanted to give up, but as soon as I turned around, the door of the office behind me opened, and Brother Xiao Ran came out of it and said to me with a spring breeze on his face: "What?" Something? β
I glanced at Yang Shuo, glared at Brother Xiao Ran and asked, "You signaled him to send me away, right?" β
Brother Xiao Ran didn't deny it, but he just seemed to be in a good mood, and he asked me again, "Is there something wrong?" β
I snorted, and learned that Chen Xiaoru also turned her head and left, but I have never worn high heels, and flat shoes can't kick off her momentum.
It has been half a month since the termination of cooperation with Zb, it was Zb who unilaterally tore up the contract, the reason is unknown, of course, it may also be that Brother Xiao Ran didn't want me to know, I asked Zhang Dirt a few times, and Zhang Dirt just shook his head.
I know that Zhang Ranyan was authorized by Brother Xiao Ran to become bold, even if I, the department manager, can wear small shoes for him, but I can't resist his arrogance after the news that the president wants to reuse him spreads.
There is no way, I can only start with Mu Cheng. At this time, the free lunch I brought to Mu Cheng was already amazing, in her words, it was almost catching up with the level of takeout, although I felt that this compliment was not very pertinent, but I reluctantly accepted it, after all, it was not my problem, it was my father who had to rush to do it.
After Mu Cheng was successfully taken under my command, we were in tension with Zhang Dirty, because of Mu Cheng's good popularity, for a while, Zhang Dirty almost had no backup team in the marketing department, and the group of team members who followed him also looked like they listened to my command, and the marketing department under my command became a qualified team in such a situation, led by me, and won a lot of honors.
Mu Cheng said that this is all her credit, I don't deny it, but I don't want to praise her casually, just pretending to be stingy and complaining about him when Zhang Dirt was present, Zhang Dirt knows that he is wrong, and he dares to look up at Mu Cheng after eating a dumb loss for a long time.
Today, Brother Xiao Ran had a party at home, he sent me a message before getting off work, I didn't want to go, but because the matter of the last cooperation case was controlled by others, there was no way, so I could only resign myself to his fate and get in his car as soon as I got off work.
Only then did I know that Su Xiaolan was pregnant, in fact, I had to call her sister-in-law, but she was the same age as me, and I couldn't bear to call her that, so I discussed calling her Xiaolazy directly.
Although she kept saying how happy and happy she was at home, I could still see the sadness in her black and white eyes, I didn't believe that Brother Xiao Ran didn't feel it, and when I learned that they had quarreled, I almost had the urge to jump to teach Brother Xiao Ran a lesson.
He was surrounded by the crowd in the middle, toasting with an elegant smile on his face, and I wanted to go up and tear his mask, but in the end I held back when I was stopped by the lazy side.
Xiao Lazy and I finished talking about these moods a lot better, I can tell from her expression that she still feels happy, but she has lost her freedom and work, and only the identity of a mother is left to make her look a little depressed, and I, this outsider, because of my deep sympathy for her, or, there are some empathetic thoughts, I sulked for a while, and kept staring at Brother Xiao Ran's direction, sullen until the end of the banquet.
Brother Xiao Ran drank wine tonight and arranged for the driver to send me, the driver was polite, and made a gesture of a gentleman to ask the lady to get into the car with a smile, which made me dumbfounded, and I just noticed, where is this driver! It's clearly Zhang Dirty himself.
I glared at him before reluctantly getting into the car at his urging, and I deliberately sat in the back seat without saying a word.
Zhang Dirt didn't see outside, and pestered me with great interest while driving to inquire about Mu Cheng. It's been rare to see him recently, he has been transferred to the general manager's office, although the position has only been promoted by one level, but in everyone's eyes, his status is no less than my current manager, and he has the arrogance of the big celebrity around the emperor. This is also the reason why I don't bother to pay attention to him, because I don't need to ask him for anything, even if I want to please the president, I will go out in person, and I never bother to make it convenient for him.
Zhang Dirt kept saying, I ignored him and he didn't care, but in the end, I was annoyed first, and I called Mu Cheng.
Mu Cheng was very happy to receive my call, I didn't know how happy she was when I met during the day and called her again at night, but when I told her that I was in the dirty car, her mood was not so high-pitched.
I asked her where she was, and she didn't say anything for a long time, it was a red light, and Zhang Dirty turned her head to look at me and took my phone over. I heard him say solemnly: "Chen Mu, hurry home, I'll be there soon." β
I immediately got a little angry, and snatched the phone, just when the red light turned green, and Zhang Dirty couldn't come and grab my phone again.
I said to Mu Cheng: "If you listen to him like that, then we won't be good friends from now on." β
I knew that this move was very naΓ―ve, but I was still a little proud when I saw the appearance of Zhang Dirt who was driving in front of me and forgot to step on the accelerator to turn off the car.
If you want to say why I want to do this, I can't say why, but I feel that he is not happy, and I feel happy.
Although I made their relationship worse like this, Zhang Dirt still dutifully sent me downstairs to my house, I should have been grateful to him, but when I saw his stinky face, I simply got out of the car without saying a word.
Actually, there is a reason why I am not good about Zhang Dirt, vaguely I don't remember it clearly, but there is a voice in my heart shouting, he is not a good person, he is not a good person......
I have told Mu Cheng many times about this, and Mu Cheng skipped it unexpectedly, but I always couldn't get over it. Moreover, under the influence of my unclear behavior of resisting Zhang Dirt, the relationship between Mu Cheng and Zhang Dirt has been tepid, and even the two people who have long determined the relationship between men and women usually don't even date, even today, as soon as I say it, Mu Cheng only cares about comforting me, and repeatedly agrees not to listen to Zhang Dirty's words.
The alley is very narrow, and there are some sundries, if you don't pay attention to reversing, you will bump into it, if it is usual, Brother Xiao Ran sends me or someone else, I will definitely be enthusiastic to stand behind to assist, but today, I didn't look at the car, turned around and entered the unit door.
I had just stepped on the first step when the mobile phone in my bag rang, it was Zhuo Ou.
In detail, since the last time my father was hospitalized, he called me with a bad attitude, and he didn't call me again. During this time, it seemed as if there was no more such person in my mind, because in my mind, there were not many memories of him, and with the washing of time, I was stunned for a few seconds before I remembered what happened before. So, my attitude turned bad again.
Zhuo Ou asked me, "Did you go to the party at Mu Xiaoran's house today?" β
"Go."
"And now? Where are you? β
"I'm back."
"Can you still come out?"
"What?" I asked him defensively.
"I'm back." He spoke in a deep voice, his voice full of tiredness.
I asked, "Just got off the plane?" β
"Yes."
"You'd better go back and rest first, I'm tired from listening to your voice."
"Oh." There was a deep disappointment in his voice.
When I hung up the phone, I realized that there seemed to be some ambiguity in what I had just said. When I said, 'I'm tired of listening to your voice,' he doesn't think I'm saying, I don't want to listen, I'm tired, right?
But when I think about it, I don't seem to want to have anything to do with him, and if he thinks so, it doesn't seem to hurt me, so I don't think much about it.
Seeing Zhuo Ou again was on TV, when I was so good to say that I took the spatula from my father's hand and made a dinner that I wanted to eat, my father sat on the sofa in the living room to watch the news, which was also harmonious, who knows, I was frying fish, my father was stunned and pulled the spatula in his hand, I pointed to the TV and excitedly shouted like a child who saw a bald head: "Look at it, watch it, Xiao Zhuo is on TV!" β
I looked in the direction of his finger and got it! Entertainment News.
I'm a little short-sighted, squinting my eyes and trying to look at the small print at the bottom of the screen, the lace news, the headline is exaggerated, but it doesn't matter. After all, just looking at the picture of handsome men and beautiful women, I can basically make up a bloody plot in my mind, which is not what I am keen on, so I pouted and pretended not to care, and went into the kitchen with a spatula.
Because of this delay, the side of the fish was already mushy, and I turned over and shouted angrily at my father: "Dad, can you not disturb me when I cook in the future!" Look at it, you see, the fish are all mushy, what a pity, those proteins are blind in vain! β
When I put on the plate, my dad had changed to the financial channel, and I wanted to call him to eat, but it was, "Dad, I don't care, this mushy fish belongs to you, I want to eat fresh white and tender fish, and I have to save a little to take to the company for lunch tomorrow..."
Dad was rare not to be angry, he sat down honestly and ate the fish that was already a little mushy with my cooked rice, and suddenly stopped his chopsticks and stared at me, "You and Xiao Zhuo... What's going on? β
I was drinking the soup, he asked, I choked on a mouthful of soup, coughed for a long time and coughed tears in my eyes, only then did I stop coughing, but I was still uncomfortable and pretended to be confused.
"It's nothing! Didn't you see them all? The news is coming out on TV, and there are beautiful women with beautiful figures, look at your daughter again...... Can it be compared? β
The father angrily threw the chopsticks on the marble tabletop, "What's wrong with my daughter?" My daughter is also a flower, racing over Xi Shi, sinking fish and geese! β
I looked at my father's serious face and burst out laughing, "Dad, what's wrong with my long-lost sister?" Bring it back, bring it back, let me be majestic too! β
Dad took the chopsticks and knocked me on the head heavily, and the pain made me think it was not impossible for a bag to swell up instantly.
After Dad gave me an angry look, he began to preach again.
"Xiao Li, it's not that Dad loves to worry about it, you said that you are not too young, and you should also consider lifelong events..."
I was still holding my head, and it was very uncomfortable to hear my father say this. I'm only 20 years old, just graduated, and the marketing manager of Moose Group has a bright future! How did you become the boss?
But before I could refute it, my father's next sentence choked me again.
"You say, Xiao Zhuo has nothing to say to you, of course, it's not bad for Dad, hugging other women on TV may be a work need, you can't mind too much, let me tell you, man, it can't be so honest..."
Dad was still chattering, but I couldn't listen to it anymore.
Mu Cheng often says, I'm a feminist, I always refute her nonchalantly, what's wrong with feminism, haven't you seen so many straight men in society?
I just didn't expect, I didn't expect, my father, a highly educated engineer, to have such a face. Disappointment, disappointment!
I put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, frowned and stared at my father, who was probably embarrassed by my gaze, finally stopped his speech, fixed his eyes on me, sighed softly, picked up the chopsticks and was about to start eating again.
I said, "Dad, do you think women should put up with all kinds of things that men do?" In this way, it is virtuous, it is knowledgeable, it is a good wife and mother? β
Dad gave me a strange look, "Don't you think it should be?" β
I shook my head, "No. How could it be? The Qing Dynasty is dead, and it is no longer a feudal society, so why can't women have their own lives and ideas? I don't think I can bear my other half and other women to talk to me, and if you want to form a family with me, the most important thing must be loyalty. If that can't be done, why should I sacrifice my most precious freedom to become a resentful woman? β
