Chen Ran

The world was quiet, and I hugged Yue'er, with unprecedented pity and satisfaction.

She shouldn't have come today, and she shouldn't have volunteered to go her own way. How can Zhao Bing be able to face and bear it with her small body and mind? This person's style is very bad, I have heard Guo Kai say that he has coveted Zhang Xiaoqi for a long time since the first contact, but even a master of communication like Zhang Xiaoqi can't avoid it, not to mention that she is a weak woman who has just come out of society and has no amount of alcohol?

I know that Zhang Xiaoqi excused herself on the pretext of illness, and I saw her in high spirits in the company this morning. It's understandable for a woman to protect herself in the workplace, but it's a bit disgraceful to use her subordinates as a shield, and the other party is such a simple-minded young girl who doesn't drink much. I understand that Zhang Xiaoqi declares her personal vendetta against Yue'er from time to time because of Wang Hao, but if she can't let go of her knot like this, how can Yue'er be good in the long run? Even if I can protect her once, can I save her from fire and water every time? This is indeed a headache, Zhang Xiaoqi is her boss, and she can't help but do what she has to do, was it wrong for me to persuade her to give up the position of deputy manager?

Thinking of this, I looked down at the person in my arms, trembling, sobbing softly, I let out a long sigh, indescribable distress and self-blame.

During the meal, he had already noticed her abnormality, Guo Kai was stubborn and pushed her to the role of accompanying the wine, but she accepted the amount of alcohol she drank in one gulp, and drank herself until she vomited. If I hadn't forced her to stay in the bathroom until the end of the meal, I don't know what she would have been filled with by Zhao Bing and others. Looking at her pale face, my heart was pinched, I understood that she was for Kairan, but as Kairan's boss, I just wanted to tell her that I wanted her to be happy and well.

Singing and dancing after dinner is inevitably a play, I want Yue'er to go home early after the dinner, both public and private, but I didn't expect Zhao Bing, a drunken person, to let her go with me by name, my heart sank sharply, and an ominous premonition came to my heart. Don't look at me and Guo Kai talking and laughing beside Zhao Bing, but my heart is as tormented as thousands of ants and insects. Listening to Yue'er's slow footsteps behind me, I really wanted to grab her and quickly escape from this wine pool and meat forest, the farther away the better.

Later, in the private room, I watched Zhao Bing's actions towards Yue'er. Unexpectedly, this person was a parent official, and he was so filthy in private that Wang Hao wanted to help her out of the siege and was blocked back. Guo Kai also complained tonight that I was absent-minded, I had nothing to say, seeing Yue'er being insulted like this, could I focus? In the final analysis, Yue'er is here tonight thanks to him. I can't help but feel resentful of Guo Kai, what would he think if his little girlfriend was taken advantage of by other men like this? Do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself, and you can't let Yue'er be treated like this just because she is just an ordinary employee of Kairan.

But then I also understand that the workplace ecology is like this, and ugly people can be seen everywhere, if I am not Yue'er's eldest brother, if Yue'er is just an ordinary employee of Kairan, will I be so anxious? Obviously, even if I don't despise this private deed, at most I can't bear to sympathize with it, at least it is unlikely that I will do everything possible to offend Mayor Zhao and save Yue'er. In this case, what qualifications do I have to criticize Guo Kai? In her eyes, Yue'er is just an ordinary employee like anyone else, not to mention, isn't Zhang Xiaoqi also an employee of the company? Since Zhang Xiaoqi can deal with Zhao Bing and others, why can't Yue'er? No one is more special than anyone else, is there? If Yue'er can't do it, it can only prove that she is indeed inferior to Zhang Xiaoqi, but no one will question the despicable behavior of Zhao Bing and the others and the fundamental reason why they are so unscrupulous.

This is the sorrow of society, when the group turns a blind eye to the ugly behavior, the effect of bad money driving out good money will eventually make everyone suffer, but the power of the environment is too great, and these people who suffer from it rarely take the initiative to withdraw to see the absurdity of this era, but instead intensify their indulgence and even become accomplices, just because they are not hurting their relatives.

I was suddenly glad that I didn't have any children, and imagined how I would be a father if my daughter were to be in such a situation or worse. And how to explain to her the rules that have been distorted by this society? We're all in society, aren't we? As mentioned earlier, the power of the environment is too great, and in the end, such a question will become a proposition of whether to choose to go to the waves or to watch the tide from the shore, but even I still don't know the answer to this proposition.

Alas, don't say it!

Fortunately, I overheard that Zhao Bing is also a graduate of N University, and he is five years higher than me. In a hurry, I poured two glasses of red wine without saying a word and pretended to go over to salute him, but I didn't expect that this person's mind was all on Yue'er, and he was just perfunctory to me. In order to make Yue'er get out better, I deliberately let the black red wine soak a large part of her white clothes, and finally let her leave in the pretended reproach.

But her stumbling back and uncertain look made me feel at ease after all, and after pacifying Zhao Bing and his party, I chased him out of the bathroom under the pretext of going to the bathroom, so hurried that I didn't even have time to put on my coat.

I couldn't care about the temperature difference of more than 20 degrees inside and outside, so I dialed her phone, but fortunately she hadn't gone far. I finally saw her, alone, standing alone at the door of the hotel, standing alone in the cold winter of the wind and snow, and the bright neon lights of the city, which made her more and more sad and lonely.

Three steps and two steps to her, I saw the marks on her snow-white clothes like congealed blood, looking at me with grief and gratitude, and there were wiped tears in the corners of my eyes, as if there were a thousand words but I didn't know where to start. I understand that her heart is turned upside down tonight, with her character and family background, she must never have expected the complexity and sinister of society to be played out in me so closely, but I can't share it for her, and I can't even protect her openly, which makes me feel powerless and sad.

sighed helplessly, and said to her: "Yue'er, cry if you want to"

Like a spring water bursting the embankment, her tears were like rain, surging quietly in front of me, straight into the deepest part of my heart, stirring my heart and feelings.

I couldn't help but reach out and take her into my arms, letting her tears wet my clothes and my chest. I don't care about anything, just let me obey my heart and be presumptuous, let me hug her tightly desperately, in this foreign street, in the snow, I only hope that my solid heartbeat will pass on her endless stability and strength.

After a long time, I slowly let go of Yue'er, lifted her face, and wiped away the undried tears for her. Her eyes were red and swollen like ripe cherries in May, and the tears on her eyelashes shimmered like ice crystals. The snowflakes fell quietly around us, and my fingertips brushed her cold face in the wind and snow, only to feel the infinite throbbing spread in the bottom of my heart, and I said to her softly: "Yue'er, why are you so stupid tonight?" Drink so much. ”

"Big brother, I'm ......" Yue'er bit her lip and lowered her head unconsciously, "I don't want to embarrass you, after all, the interests of the company are the most important, and the other party is the mayor's ......"

"Fool, no matter how important the interests of the company are, you can't fight with your own body, aren't there still us?" Picking up the broken hair in her ear, I continued, "We all know Zhao Bing's character, why are you so difficult for yourself who Zhang Xiaoqi doesn't want to provoke?" ”

"Big brother, I really didn't expect Mayor Zhao to be such a person...... Sister Xiaoqi said that I only need to pay the bill and settle the bill......" Yue'er's tears seemed to welled up again, "Thank you, big brother...... If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened tonight, just now, I was really scared......"

I shook my head and smiled bitterly, understanding Yue'er's isolation and helplessness, and I felt more and more distressed, "Silly girl, you are too simple, alas, after all, it is the eldest brother who did not protect you...... Promise me, next time, no matter who you are, no matter what the situation, you won't drink like this without regard for your body, okay? Especially when you meet someone like Zhao Bing, you must stay away, understand? I looked at her and said firmly, "Even if we offend people, we will go to the aftermath, you have to believe in the ability of the eldest brother." Big brother has nothing else to ask for, just want you to live a simple and happy life" I rarely make such unthinking promises, and I rarely show people my inner energy. But for Yue'er, I am willing to try even things that are beyond my ability, let alone such a small protection for her. I even thought that if there really was a day when Yue'er had no place in Kairan, wouldn't I still have a consulting company, at least I could find a job for her to make a living, and I would have this confidence.

I suddenly realized that I couldn't dispose of the consulting company, even for Yue'er, for my silent protection, for the unreal, unforeseeable, future that I couldn't see at the moment.

"Okay, big brother, I promise you" Yue'er's slender and soft voice sounded in my ears, she raised her head to look at me, and there was trust and stability in her eyes, which made me lose my mind instantly.

"Big brother, aren't you cold? Why didn't you run out without wearing a coat, it's such a cold day, you can go back quickly. Yue'er's gaze stayed on my thin clothes, and she said very anxiously, "Look at me as big as a person and cry my nose, big brother, your clothes are dirty......" muttered in her mouth, her face was flushed, and she was pitiful.

I chuckled softly, "Silly girl, didn't I worry about you, I was so busy running out that I forgot" I rubbed her head and said gently, "It's okay, I'm not cold." I'm afraid you'll blame me for being too fierce to you just now."

"How so!" Yue'er hurriedly interrupted me, "I know that my eldest brother is helping me out, how can you really murder me......" Yue'er seemed to bow her head a little shyly when she said this, "You will never murder me...... It's only going to be good for me, I know ......"

Yue'er's murmur was a shock in my heart, a warm current ran through the whole body from head to toe, she understood, she understood, contented, Chen Ran, she understood how good you were to her, content, content.

"I'll let the driver drop you off, go back and have a good rest". I said softly. called the driver and told him to send Yue'er home. The car drove out slowly, I looked at the world of ice crystals in uncontrollable excitement and joy, Yue'er turned around and smiled and waved at me, my heart seemed to be closer to her than ever before, as if she and I had been with each other for a long, long time.
