Chapter 1: Birthdays
Meng Zhen sat on the sofa in a daze, put his phone aside casually, waiting for the person who might not come today.
"Oh, it's so fast, it's going to be zero o'clock soon, have you really forgotten?"
Although he has been comforting himself in his heart, he should remember that yesterday she also hinted that today is her birthday, her thirtieth birthday! But as time passed little by little, the dishes on the table were hot and hot, and the person who was waiting was still nowhere to be seen, not even a phone call.
"Forgive me for being a little apathetic and sitting in a quiet corner...... "The phone rings!"
Meng Zhen hurriedly picked up the phone, his excited heart suddenly cooled down when he saw the flashing name, took a deep breath, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and pressed the call button:
"Honey, why is it so late and you haven't rested?"
A woman's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone, "My dear, I was about to go to bed, and suddenly I remembered that today seems to be someone's birthday, and someone can officially enter the ranks of middle-aged women today." Hehe, I didn't disturb your candlelit dinner, did I!? ”
"......" Meng Zhen was silent, Chen Xue was her college roommate, and the only friend among her college classmates who struggled with her in Quancheng, in the face of her friend's ridicule, she was speechless for a while.
"Zhenzhen, why don't you speak, is it inconvenient or-" Chen Xue's original laughing voice slowly lowered in the silence of her friend:
"Isn't he with you?"
"Xiaoxue, maybe we are really not suitable," Meng Zhen didn't want to talk about this on the phone, but today was too depressing, and if she didn't find someone to talk to, she felt like she was about to run out of breath.
"Really?" Chen Xue felt from her tone that Meng Zhen was in a very bad mood, covered the microphone of her mobile phone, whispered to her husband "I'll go to the balcony", and left the bedroom.
"Zhenzhen, what's wrong, yesterday in the group, didn't you still say that if Du Wei proposed to you today, you would end your single life on your thirtieth birthday, did you quarrel, or ......?"
"Hehe, Xiaoxue, I may think things are too beautiful, why is the blind date not as good as the one who comes in love, and quarrels? He seems to have forgotten my birthday, and he didn't show up today, let alone propose. Meng Zhen smiled mockingly, but tears unconsciously remained.
"What? Why is this person like this, I still called him today to remind him, don't forget to order roses, how is he, is he too busy, I'll call and ask. ”
Du Wei was introduced to Meng Zhen by her Chen Xue, the two of them have been talking for almost a year, and they have always been good, several of their college classmates are happy for Zhenzhen, thinking that maybe they will be able to achieve positive results this year.
"Honey, no need, I've been thinking about it for a long time today, I'm afraid it's really inappropriate for me and him, I decided to break up with him!" Meng Zhen wiped the tears from his face and said firmly.
"Really, are you serious? I think it's better for you to talk, and you can't just sentence him to death because he forgot your birthday. I heard my husband say that Du Wei and his company are going to go public recently, so the entire financial department is busy sorting out the accounts, and Du Wei is the chief accountant, so he must be very busy. It's true, you've been together for almost a year, don't give up easily. Chen Xue didn't say good things for Du Wei, and as Meng Zhen's friend, she knew too well that she really wanted a home of her own.
"Xiaoxue, I know he's busy, and I didn't say it was an impulse to break up. I've been thinking about it for a long time, and from the beginning of our acquaintance, I took the initiative to maintain our relationship. My dear, you are a married person, and you should understand that marriage is run by two people together, and it is not possible to rely on the efforts of one person alone. Of course, I don't deny it, today's events made me make the final decision, I don't ask him how romantic he is, at least remember my birthday, alas," Meng Zhen said all the words, feeling a lot smoother in her heart, she let out a long sigh: "Xiaoxue, you know me, I really want to have a home of my own, a husband who loves me, and lovely children, but it seems that I am too eager to do so, hehe, love is really something that can be met but not sought." ”
"Really, think it through?!" Chen Xue felt her disappointment from her lonely tone, and secretly scolded Du Wei in her heart, he really knows how to cherish such a good woman, if he doesn't like it, he can show it from the beginning, he is nothing to delay for a year as a man, but he really can't afford to delay, no matter how good a woman is, after thirty, there will be fewer and fewer objects to choose from.
"Well, think about it, my dear, don't worry about me, long pain is better than short pain, while I can still make a sober judgment now, everyone can get together and disperse, at least we can be friends in the future." I'm sorry, I dumped garbage at you at night, don't worry about me, anyway, I've cried and cried, I've been sad, and I'm feeling better now. ”
"Stinky girl, you're so much better, I can't sleep."
"Haha, you can go to sleep too, it's still 10 minutes until midnight, I'm going to destroy my cake, I wish me a happy birthday!"
"Okay, happy birthday, Your Highness the Leftover!"
"Xiaoxue, don't blame Zhao Kaiha, we broke up, and it has nothing to do with you two matchmakers. After two days, Du Wei is done, I will have a good talk with him, after all, we have been together for so long, even if we can't get together, don't make you friends anymore. ”
"Zhenzhen, I know, if you make a decision, you will definitely stick to it, forget it, I don't care, I believe that your fate will come one day. My dear, we must be talented, we must be good-looking, and we must not be leftover women......"
"your ......"
After the two said goodnight to each other, Meng Zhen turned off his mobile phone, put aside all the unhappy things, lit 3 candles, inserted them into the cake, clasped his hands in the flickering candlelight, and secretly made a wish in his heart: "Mom, today is my 30th birthday, I have decided, I will live alone in the future, and I will no longer force marriage." Actually, there is nothing to be a leftover girl, live a happy life, live happily, you will bless me! ”
She closed her eyes and didn't notice that the jade bracelet on her left hand was shining with a hint of red light, as if her mother was responding to her words!
"March 17th, 2009, today, oh, yesterday to be exact, was my birthday, my 30th birthday. Time flies so fast, I feel like graduating from college was still yesterday, and in the blink of an eye, 8 years have passed. There are 8 roommates in college, and now only 5 people are in constant contact, I am the eldest, and the youngest eight got married last year, and I am still floating alone.
I originally decided to end my single life on this day, but unfortunately he didn't give me this opportunity, forget it, if I don't get married, I won't get married, there's nothing wrong with being alone......"
Meng Zhen finished eating the cake, tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep, got up and turned on the computer, logged in to QQ, collected vegetables, and sold eggs. The other sisters in the space also gave birthday gifts, she opened them one by one, looking at the cute Flash greeting card, she smiled, NND, there is no love, she still has friendship.
So she updated her journal and changed her QQ signature - when love is a thing of the past!
The next day, the alarm clock rang as scheduled, Meng Zhen reached out and pressed the alarm on the phone, turned it on, and there was no information, hehe, are you still waiting for his call? Meng Zhen asked himself mockingly in his heart, didn't he decide to separate, why was he still reluctant?
Forget it, love may pass away, but life will still go on, go to work!
"Sister Meng, Sister Meng......"
Xiao Zhang called for a long time, but Meng Zhen behind the computer didn't respond, so he knocked her desk with a folder: "Sister Meng!" ”
"Oh, Xiao Zhang, what's the matter?"
Meng Zhen poked his head out from behind the computer and looked at the new clerk opposite.
"Sister Meng, what are you thinking, so engrossed, I called you for a long time, but you didn't hear it." Xiao Zhang, a student who just graduated from the Chinese Department of S University this year, came to Meng Zhen's health care product company to intern as an administrative clerk through the relationship of his father's colleague. In fact, it is to do chores for Meng Zhen, the assistant manager, and print documents or something.
When I first came, I was relatively restrained, and on the first day, I regarded Meng Zhen as a classmate who also came to intern. can't blame her, Sister Meng has an apple face, round, white and tender, no matter how she looks, she doesn't look like a 30-year-old woman. Calling her sister, it feels weird, hehe, it's really like her classmate.
After getting along for a long time, I found that Sister Meng had a good temper and was gentle and gentle to everyone. Especially for her, she patiently taught her how to build customer files, how to help her colleagues in the sales team do activities, and sometimes she made mistakes and did not criticize her harshly; When the manager reprimanded her, he would also help to play the round and say good things for her.
"Oh, nothing, I didn't have a good rest yesterday, a little sleepy. What's the matter? "Meng Zhen has been thinking about when to ask Du Wei to come out to talk, these two days may not work, today is Friday, and it is estimated that he will not be able to rest on the weekend, I heard that the accounts made before do not meet the standards of listing at all, and need to be overturned and redone, that is, fake accounts. For this reason, she was very worried about him, this was already on the edge of the law, and she accidentally fell into it. And he is the chief accountant, and he is the first to bear the brunt of the problem.
"Sister Meng, this is the information of the VIP customer that the manager wants, I just sorted it out, you can help me hand it over to him." Xiao Zhang handed the folder to Meng Zhen, with a flattering smile on his face.
"Hehe, why don't you hand it over to him directly," Meng Zhen looked at her scared expression, and couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Zhang, in fact, Manager Fang is very good, but he is more strict."
A little girl is a little girl, she was reprimanded by the manager once, so she tried to avoid him as much as possible, and pushed her in front every time.
"Where is strictness, it's a tyrant! Sister Meng, haven't you seen it, just now he just brought the people of the sales group to the conference room, and scolded them one by one, saying that half of this month is over, the sales target has not been completed by one-third, and the organized activities are not ready, etc., and now it is estimated that he is still scolding, how dare I go at this time. ”
The little woman is afraid, the manager has become synonymous with tyrant in her dictionary.
"Oh, if you're afraid of touching your head, I'm not afraid!" To be honest, Meng Zhen still likes Xiao Zhang, a girl, although she is a little squeamish and a little willful, but she is more studious. Therefore, she is willing to teach what she can teach, and she tries to help as much as she can. As a result, this little girl was really unkind, and she dared to say anything in front of her.
"Sister Meng, how can I compare with you, you are the fire extinguisher of our sales department, look at it, when did the manager scold you? I can't do it, the manager was angry, when he saw me, he didn't think of the mistake I made, oops, Sister Meng, my own sister, you can go, I'll invite you to dinner at noon! ”
"Okay, I can't go, it's like it's a big deal. You, don't invite me to dinner, hurry up and count the plan for next month, the manager should be in the next two days, don't forget it then! ”
Meng Zhen took the folder, put the prepared event planning for this weekend into the folder, and got up to go to the manager's office.
