Chapter 54: Awkward Blind Date (2)
Li Yue'er
Zhang Xiaoqi's eyes flew like ice blades, and I was stunned for a moment. I don't know if I should say hello to her, after all, she is also my department leader, but looking at her and Guo Xin's appearance, it seems that she is not very willing to be seen by others. After a moment's hesitation, the two of them entered the dining room, and my shoulders relaxed as if relieved. It turned out that in the intersection with Zhang Xiaoqi again and again, my subconscious seemed to have unconsciously regarded her as an enemy, so that every time I saw her, my body involuntarily tensed and my nerves tensed. I met again outside today unexpectedly, why is the encounter between me and her always so embarrassing and embarrassing?
Sighing, I couldn't help but shake my head, maybe some people just don't agree like this, Zhang Xiaoqi and I are destined to be impossible to get along.
It's just that between her and Guo Xin, what is this style? I used to hear Pleasant Goat say that Guo Xin was already married, and his wife was three years older than her. The man who does sales, eats, drinks and has fun outside all the year round, immersed in the habit of wine and meat, it is inevitable that he will not get into trouble with flowers and grass, and owe a lot of romantic debts, not to mention a group of female employees in the sales department, and even some female customers of Kairan have been recruited again and again. When Pleasant Goat told me this, he sighed repeatedly, the sales department is really not a place where women can stay, what if there is more money, go in and wait for the lamb to be slaughtered, a lustful prince sits on the top, and I don't know how many jackals, tigers and leopards are eyeing each other outside, or the R&D department is a little technical simple, and even my administrative department is not as good as her. At that time, I was still laughing at her, but when I saw Zhang Xiaoqi and Guo Xin today, I couldn't help but secretly admire the foresight of the Pleasant Goat.
Guo Xin has long coveted Zhang Xiaoqi, and it is not difficult for anyone with a discerning eye to see it. A workplace woman like Zhang Xiaoqi, who is naturally beautiful, can speak well and can do things, naturally conforms to Guo Xin's aesthetics. It is said that several times he intended to recruit her to join her in the sales department. Helplessly, Zhang Xiaoqi has always had a soft spot for Wang Hao, and finally she is reluctant to leave the Administration Department, but now that she and Wang Hao have had a showdown, seeing that their affection has turned into a wasted spring, although it is a helpless move to seek another height, it is not unexpected. It's just that even Pleasant Goat knows Guo Xin's character, and Zhang Xiaoqi must be even clearer, why did she go to this troubled water? In fact, sometimes I also think that Zhang Xiaoqi can be so affectionate with Wang Hao, at least it shows that she is not the kind of woman who is watery Yanghua, even if she can't make an appointment with Wang Hao for life, she can't provoke a prodigal son like Guo Xin, how can Guo Xin, who has always boasted of "being in a thousand flowers, not touching a leaf", promise her a stable future? What's more, can she really let go of her feelings for Wang Hao?
Suddenly, I sighed a little, this emotional matter should be the most distressing and helpless. From the perspective of others, Wang Hao and Zhang Xiaoqi are the best partners in terms of personality and tacit understanding, but Luohua is deliberately ruthless, and it also involves an innocent me. In fact, Wang Hao's concerns about Zhang Xiaoqi are just the shadow of his last marriage. But Zhang Xiaoqi is not his ex-wife after all, so why should he "be bitten by a snake once and be afraid of the well rope for ten years" and not give each other a chance? What's more, Zhang Xiaoqi has been devoted to him for many years, and he really hasn't been moved at all?
Alas, although Zhang Xiaoqi regards me as a thorn in his side, I really hope that she and Wang Hao can fly together one day.
When I thought about myself, in the eyes of outsiders, what is the difference between me and Chen Ran, and Zhang Xiaoqi and Guo Xin now? There will be a thousand versions of the story between a single woman and a married man, and because of the barrier of that marriage contract, everything will be covered with a hideous coat. Why are we all indifferent to a good and normal marriage, and we have to challenge difficult actions? Bow your head and sigh in self-defeat, maybe this is our fate. It's hard to be in love, reality is like a knife, Zhang Xiaoqi is just a weak woman struggling to survive in a cold world alone, how much choice does she have? And I, at least I can comfort myself that Chen Ran and Guo Xin are different.
Alas, self-soothing, I understand that this is self-soothing, but it is better than not being able to comfort myself.
The mobile phone rang, and as soon as I heard it, I knew it was Chen Ran's phone. Although there were thousands of twists and turns in my heart just now, sweetness was inevitable at this time. Picking it up with a smile, there was a soft shyness in my voice, and even I was a little surprised, when did I become so childlike? Love is really a magical thing, which makes all women flattering without a teacher.
"Yue'er, what are you doing? Have you had lunch? Chen Ran's voice is always so unhurried, like a spring breeze, warm and comfortable.
"Well, I went to the bank to reissue my card, so I ate out by the way."
"Okay, remember to eat more, you're too thin." Chen Ran smiled lightly, "By the way, I have a party tonight, and I want to have a meal with Kairan's customers, so I won't go to your side." You go back and rest after eating, and we'll see you tomorrow at the company, okay? ”
"Oh, good" Although he was slightly disappointed in his heart, he quickly adjusted his mood and replied with a smile, "I understand"
"Okay, then I'll hang up first? You have to squint for a while at noon, and there will be a mess of things in the afternoon, otherwise you won't be energetic. Chen Ran smiled to himself, "As soon as this Guo Kai gets married, everything in the company is on my head, and your administration department is on vacation today, I feel like I am about to become a commander of the light pole!" Alas, I'm getting older and I don't have enough energy! After saying that, he asked me jokingly, "You don't dislike me for being old, do you?" ”
"How so!" My voice blurted out at once, but I startled myself, and after speaking, I felt a little embarrassed, biting my lip and opening my mouth again, but my voice was an octave lower, "I don't like those little boys, like children who haven't grown up" My mouth slowly snorted, but my face was hot.
"Really?" Chen Ran laughed, even through the phone, I seemed to be able to see him happy and excited over there, "Girl, if you say that, I'm relieved!" And don't forget to add, "It's a good thing to get old for the first time today!" With your words, I'm sure I'll have a good dream during today's nap! ”
Listening to Chen Ran's hearty laughter, my heart seemed to fly to his side, watching the long stream of time with him, and feeling the snow and moon that only belong to each other
"Yue'er, pay attention to safety on the way home, and send me a message when you get home." Chen Ran is always so careful and thoughtful, "Then I'll hang up first." ”
"Chen Ran!" I jerked him in the air.
"What's wrong? Girl? Is there something wrong? ”
"I," I said a little shyly, "I've already bought you slippers, you don't have to buy any more"
"Really?" There were endless surprises in Chen Ran's voice, "Thank you, Yue'er, I'm so happy!" ”
"Well, then you can rest first," I replied with a smile, "I'm ready to eat, too."
"Okay, okay, remember to send me a message when you get home later" Chen Ran still didn't forget to advise.
promised to hang up the phone, looked at the men's slippers in the bag next to him, and thought that except for Sister Xiaojuan, I should be the only girl who bought personal things for Chen Ran, and I couldn't help but feel an indescribable shyness and joy in my heart.
The meal had been served, and I was about to use the chopsticks, when my father's call came unexpectedly, "Yue'er, have you had lunch?" ”
"Dad, I'm eating, what about you?"
"I just finished eating, and suddenly I miss my daughter, give you a call," the father said happily, "just take advantage of the lunch time to eat, so as not to disturb you to work"
"We have a holiday today, Dad, why bother" I explained, "Mr. Guo got married yesterday, and our administration department has been busy for a long time, so today we will approve a day off."
"Oh? Is it? That's a good idea! We can also talk a little more," my father was very happy, "Yue'er, do you have anything to do on the weekend?" Dad wants to go to C City to see you, and by the way, I will bring you some specialties from our hometown."
I "poofed" and smiled, "Dad, look at what you said, you can come up at any time if you want, why did you still say to bring me hometown specialties, who doesn't know that the specialty of our hometown is that D County hot sauce!" How much can I eat that thing! One bottle is enough for me to eat for more than half a year! I couldn't help but laugh.
My father also smiled and said, "Who said we only have a D county hot sauce?" Our wine, embroidery, and bonsai, which one is not famous inside and outside the province? ”
"Okay, okay, that's all you want to bring me?" I laughed, "But what can I use?" ”
"Ha, you poor girl," my father said that I had to give up, "why do I have nothing to do with you?" I'll bring you some home-made cured meat, as well as eggs from your grandmother's chickens, these are pure chai eggs, you can't buy them in the supermarket."
My heart is warm, and parents are always so meticulous in their hearts for their children, so I nodded and replied, "Okay, Dad, thank you for carrying it all the way over." I'll book your ticket in a moment, and I'll pick you up at the station then! ”
"Silly girl, why are you so troublesome, it's not like your dad and I haven't been out before!" The father excused himself, "I know how to buy the ticket myself, so you don't care!" When the time comes, just come to the station to pick me up, and I will have to rely on you to lead the way when I get to C City! ”
"Dad!" I was about to argue with him again when I suddenly heard a cold voice coming from overhead.
"Xiao Li, is it convenient to have a few words?"
I looked up and saw Zhang Xiaoqi standing in front of my desk with frost on his face, I couldn't help but be stunned, swallowed back what I was going to say, and said to the other end of the phone after half a ring, "Dad, I have something to do now, let's not talk about it yet, and I'll call you later." Without waiting for his father's consent, he hurriedly hung up the phone.
I got up a little flustered, I don't know why Zhang Xiaoqi suddenly appeared alone, but the matter has come to this point, I have to try my best to deal with it, squeeze out a smile, and say to her, "Oh, convenient, Manager Zhang, please take a seat." ”
"No need, I'll just leave after I say a few words, Mr. Guo is still waiting for me inside." Zhang Xiaoqi's voice was like a thorn growing on a cliff, dry and without a trace of color.
"Oh," I promised, not knowing what she was going to say. She didn't sit down, so I had to stand and wait for the next step.
"Cough", she cleared her throat, as if she had already prepared the draft, and said without hesitation, "Xiao Li, the people in our administration department, to put it bluntly, are the people around the boss." I don't know about the people around this boss, but the most important one is that the mouth must be firm. In other words, no matter what you hear or see, as long as it has nothing to do with you, even if it is related to you, as long as the bosses don't want others to know, we have to keep our mouths shut. Otherwise, some things that shouldn't be said will be said casually, and things will be bad, and we will only be subordinates who can't eat and walk around, do you understand? ”
I bit my lip and listened to her words in one breath, understanding that she was warning me not to tell others about the things I saw her with Guo Xin today, of course, the most important of these people is Wang Hao. As I said earlier, I don't hate Zhang Xiaoqi in essence, especially the years of entanglement with Wang Hao, who is also a woman, I can understand her mood, and I can understand her current contradictions and worries, but I really don't like her posture of being so domineering and always angry with me. With my character, how could I rap like a long-tongued woman in these things, and I didn't even say a word on the phone with Chen Ran just now, let alone Wang Hao and others! Alas, "I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch", that's it, that's it, it's already a deep grievance, why bother adding a new knot, take a step back and open the sky, she said how she wanted, thinking of this, I lowered my eyebrows, and replied in the most supple voice,
"I see, Manager Zhang."
