Chapter 32: The First Revelation (2)
After the dinner, it is usually singing and dancing time, and the place is on the upper floor of the hotel. The one-stop service of five-star hotels, taking into account privacy and convenience, is also one of the reasons why officials and businessmen flock to it.
Chen Ran originally wanted me to leave under the pretext of drunkenness, but I didn't expect Mayor Zhao to be a little dissatisfied just now because he didn't return to the wine table, how could he let it go easily at this moment, and directly asked me to go with him.
"Find a reason to protect yourself," Chen Ran said to me softly, and then followed a few steps later.
I looked at his back, and Mr. Guo accompanied Mayor Zhao left and right, not in a hurry, talking and laughing, as if any problem could be clear in his gestures, and his heart gradually calmed down, and his brain was sober.
He's also had a lot of bars today? In any case, at this moment, we all have to be a hundred times more energetic to play on the spot.
Entering the private room, Wang Hao had already diligently arranged everything, and the two female colleagues from the sales department enthusiastically poured wine and ordered songs for Mayor Zhao and his party.
Seeing me like this, Chen Ran and Wang Hao remained silent, drinking and guessing to deal with Mayor Zhao and his party.
"Hey, where's that Xiao Li? Xiao Li! Xiao Li! "My heart sank, this Zhao Bing, why is it so annoying, isn't it enough to be accompanied by so many people?
But no matter how much I complained in my heart, I had to pretend to be half-drunk and half-awake and replied, "Mayor Zhao, I'm sorry, I'm very drunk......"
"How can it be so powerful, come, come, dance with me!" Mayor Zhao intercepted my words, got up and walked towards me.
I was a spirit, most of the wine was sober, and the things I was most worried about and afraid of finally came.
Stunned that I didn't know how to answer, Mayor Zhao had already walked up to me and pulled me up from the sofa, and I was dragged to the middle of the dance floor by him like a puppet.
I saw that Chen Ran's face looked bright and uncertain under the colorful lights.
When the music sounded, Mayor Zhao wrapped a big hand around my waist, and my body instantly became stiff, I had never been so close to a man, and every pore seemed to be uncomfortable. The smell of snorting wine mixed with the decaying smell of dogs and horses came to the face, and there was no way to hide, which made people sick and resistant.
And, I can't dance! Yes, I can't dance.
I came back to my senses and hurriedly excused myself: "Mayor Zhao, I, I can't dance...... And I did drink too much today, and now my head is dizzy" My voice was anxious and aggrieved, and the meaning of resistance was obvious. Mayor Zhao stared at me with empty eyes and did not speak, and the atmosphere was a little cold for a while.
"Mayor Zhao, Xiao Li really can't dance, it's better to let Xiao Tang accompany you, she has first-class dancing skills" Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Wang Hao immediately jumped out to play a round, pointing to the female colleagues around him and said.
"Just kidding! Who can't dance now! It's okay if you can't jump, I'll teach you! Mayor Zhao snorted coldly and interrupted Wang Hao's words, "How can a little girl not be able to dance, how can she carry out her work in the future?" Guo Kai, how do you train your employees?! β
Mayor Zhao made an official tone, and Mr. Guo said to me while laughing, "What Mayor Zhao said is that I humbly accept the criticism of the leader, Xiao Li, learn from Mayor Zhao!" Don't embarrass Kairan."
Mr. Guo opened his mouth like this, Wang Hao looked at me, and had to laugh twice and retreat silently. My heart sank, and today this matter is settled......
I was dragged by Mayor Zhao like this, my eyes kept staring at the ground, afraid to look at him, and stepped on his shoes several times, the picture was really embarrassing, but he didn't seem to care. I understand that in fact, the focus of such communication is dancing, these officials enjoy the hug of everyone sucking carbuncles and licking hemorrhoids in entertainment, women, of course, are a rare appetizer.
"Come, Xiao Li, relax, put your hands up, I'll teach you to dance" Mayor Zhao leaned close at the moment, wrapped my hands around his neck, and slowly blew in my ears, the voice was ambiguous and explicit, I suppressed the nausea churning in my stomach, and the hands on his shoulders were wooden and helpless, trying to support my body backwards, but in such a space and such a situation, everything was in vain.
Behind him, Wang Hao and two female colleagues from the sales department were drinking and guessing with Mayor Zhao's secretary and the director of science and technology, and PK in groups; Mr. Guo held the director of the industrial and commercial bureau, smiling and whispering all over his face; Chen Ran sat beside him and echoed from time to time. Men's laughter and women's deliberate coquettishness fill the entire private room, the lights are bright, drunk and golden, and they are decadent and charming. But everyone is so natural and enjoyable, maybe this situation has long been commonplace, even if it is Chen Ran and Wang Hao, what can they do at this moment? The company's interests are current, offending Mayor Zhao for me? Is it possible? And I, I actually sigh that I am so embarrassed, am I too naΓ―ve and simple?
The arm around my waist slowly slid down to a certain point, and my body tensed like an electric shock, and my heart was alarmed. When I looked up suddenly, I saw an incomparably strong and lustful face looking at me thoughtfully and smiling, and that smile, like a ghost, I will never forget for the rest of my life.
"Xiao Li, you are really good, you have a different taste from Zhang Xiaoqi...... Mayor Zhao said faintly in my ear, his face was so close to me, and the smell of wine and meat mixed with his mouth was sour and rotten, as if he was going to devour all my dignity and persistence in the next second. I don't start patiently, my heart is full of grievances, this society is far more complicated than I imagined, why am I so stupid today, I still think that my courage is commendable, but I am just a lonely fool.
Looking at Chen Ran blankly, his eyes swept over me without any expression.
My heart began to fall, I understand, Chen Ran and Wang Hao have reminded me that it was I who sent myself to such a situation, at this moment, they can't help it, they can't help it, such workplace rules are so common and normal, I, no exception.
The last humble hope in my heart was extinguished.
Mayor Zhao's hand couldn't stop, and seeing that I didn't resist too much, he walked on me more boldly. I leaned to the side and ducked to the side, but he pulled me back with more force, and I pretended to inadvertently move his hand back to my waist, but instead he pulled my hand back to his shoulder, and said with a lewd smile, "Don't you like that?" He pinched my hips.
I couldn't help but be furious, I just wanted to slap it over, why did it have to be?! Why?! Yes, I am an employee of Kairan, I should take care of the interests of the company, but I am also the pearl of the family, from childhood to adulthood, my father has a strict family education, I am also clean, I have never had intimate contact with other men, I have never been so insulted. My hands, my body, are so holy and precious in my heart, they are to be left to the most important man in my life, so active and reassuring to deliver and merge, such a beautiful feeling, but by this middle-aged bald, obscene-eyed scumbag in front of me to destroy it, I feel like my soul has been raped, humiliation, resentment, heartache, at that moment all rushed to my mind, I almost gave up.
"Mayor Zhao, Mayor Zhao, it's so boring just to dance, please enjoy your face, this glass of wine toasts you, I just heard that you graduated from N University, and you are my senior brother~"
There was a voice, as if the first rain had fallen on a long-dry field, and in the midst of countless anxieties and longings, it was not late after all, and my impulse to go out of my body was firmly in place.
I saw Chen Ran holding two glasses of red wine, and I don't know when he appeared beside us, greeting Mayor Zhao warmly. His expression was rarely attentive and warm, not at all like his usual ones, and I instantly understood that this was just for me.
For my sake, get out of this predicament in front of me.
My nose was sour, and my vision blurred again.
Mayor Zhao was enjoying himself, Leng Buding was interrupted by Chen Ran, and he was unhappy in his heart, and he promised with his mouth, but his hand did not let go of me. Chen Ran's eyes sank, he quickly glanced at me, pretended to toast forward and gave me a slam, most of the glass of wine spilled on us, Mayor Zhao was startled, and finally let go of the hand around me.
Chen Ran poured it very accurately, and the wine that came out just wet Mayor Zhao's hands was wet, but my clothes were wet and red, and I fainted on my white shirt.
But I've never felt this blood-red hop so pleasing to the eye as I did at this moment.
The little accident alarmed the other people in the private room, Mayor Zhao's secretary jumped up and hurriedly stepped forward to help wipe it, Chen Ran apologized and turned around to reprimand me: "Xiao Li, didn't you see me toasting with Mayor Zhao?" Why are you so ignorant and bump into it? Don't hurry up and apologize to Mayor Zhao! β
I understood that Chen Ran was bent on helping me out of the siege, so I hurriedly did so. Mayor Zhao was made a fuss by this, and his interest was greatly reduced, and he waved my hand to let me go down after saying "nothing".
Chen Ran took over and motioned to me: "What are you doing here?" Mayor Zhao doesn't care about you because he is generous, you drank too much today and lost your sense of proportion, hurry back to change your clothes, and let your Manager Zhang come and talk back to me tomorrow. His tone was full of stern and reproachful, and I hurried out of the private room amid the disdain and silence of the crowd.
I breathed a sigh of relief, relieved and exhausted.
After signing at the front desk, I walked out of the hotel. Outside, at some point, snowflakes fell again, and the city became pure and transparent. At this time, although it is nearly ten o'clock in the evening, because the New Year is approaching, there are not many pedestrians on the street, and the fire trees and silver flowers are more warm and prosperous in the cold and freezing. I looked at the quiet years in front of me, and the filth and embarrassment in the private room just now seemed to be a lifetime away, and tears suddenly poured out like beads with broken threads.
The mobile phone rang, and I took it out to see that it was Chen Ran. I pressed the answer button, and I heard an anxious voice on the other side: "Where are you?" β
"Brother Chen, I just walked out and was at the door of the hotel."
"You wait for me, I'll come out immediately" Chen Ran hung up the phone after speaking.
I quickly wiped away my tears, not wanting him to worry too much about me. After a while, I saw Chen Ran walking out of the hotel lobby, walking hurriedly, not as calm and relaxed as usual. I looked at him from afar, such a majestic and solid figure, in the sky like a flying snow, as if he was galloping towards me on a white horse.
When I got there, I realized that he wasn't wearing any coat. The snowflakes fell on his body, and a layer of water vapor was dense and dense, making the contours of his face more distinct. I want to ask if he is cold? I want to ask him why he is in a hurry to come out? I want to say thank you to him...... Thousands of words came to his mind, but he could not say a word in his deep and worried gaze.
"Yue'er, cry if you want to cry"
I don't know how to describe the mood at this time, but I feel that all the patience, grievances, anxiety, and hopes and disappointments that have been piled up at this moment burst out of the embankment, instantly drowning all my reason and courage, making me cry like a fountain and cry silently.
Yes, I have restrained myself for too long, and today, let me be presumptuous once, only in front of him.
Chen Ran sighed, slowly stepped forward, and gently took me into his arms. The silver snow was falling all around, and his arms were warm and real, holding up a sky for me in the lonely and cold winter. I didn't care about anything else, but clung to the hem of his shirt and let the tears wet his shirt and chest, as if all my joys and sorrows had melted into the broad arms in front of me and the snow behind me.
