53. No one stands at dusk with me
There are only two moments when I have grown up and deeply understood the meaning of the word "despair", the first time was in the year when my mother left, when death was a distant and untouchable thing for me, and when I came out of Mr. Zeng's home, I experienced the original feeling again.
Actually, I don't want to be pampered. Since I was a child, I have not been a squeamish girl, my life is quite independent, because I am too eager to have a home, so I once made a mistake in Yang Heng's affairs, at that time I thought, in fact, I am still not independent enough, or too dependent on people.
Therefore, when Mr. Zeng went all out to pamper, I suppressed my emotions, and I told myself over and over again that I couldn't sink and couldn't have a heart, however, I failed myself.
At this moment, I had the illusion of being abandoned by the whole world.
There are some things that cannot be answered accurately, and many things in life require us to turn a blind eye, and perhaps the same is true of feelings, but I can't compromise.
Being too stubborn will always end badly, such as at this moment, exhausting a man's patience is to be kicked out of the house by him.
There are always people who have new loves, and there are people who have become old loves.
What about old love? The worst case is like this, I don't have time to ask for details like the last time I treated Yang Heng, I'm quite tired.
There's nothing wrong with working hard.
The next day, I went to work step by step, and I put on makeup, the dark circles under my eyes were not obvious, and after entering the office, I found that everyone's eyes were wrong, and I thought that these people were inevitably too concerned about me, so I naturally didn't take it to heart, who knew that Xiaobai called me, and after listening to the content, I was instantly stupid.
There is news about the selection of the design director this morning, but the person who has been promoted is not me, but Yang Xiaoyun.
I hung up in anger and went straight to our current director. He seemed to have expected me to call, and before I could say anything, he invited me downstairs to the café.
We sat face to face, I was very aggrieved in my heart, in terms of performance, everyone knew that Yang Xiaoyun's performance could not be compared with me, plus after the Sister Fu billboard incident, she happily renewed the contract with us for a year, which means that I even took their advertising investment next year, which is a lot of money, and it makes no sense that I will fall under her.
The director's face was also embarrassed, he told me that the letter of appointment from the headquarters has come down, and he will go to the headquarters to report this week, and Yang Xiaoyun will take over all his work from today, and she will be officially appointed as the design director at the regular meeting next week. ”
I listened to the director's words, and said directly: "Director, you know my personality very well, I promise that no third party knows what you said to me today, I need an explanation, even if it is a comfort." ”
The director looked at me and said, "Xiao Yuan, I am very satisfied with your ability, and the customer is also very satisfied with your professionalism and work attitude, but the company has a company system, of course, there are also intricate relationships, so it is not as simple as it seems on the surface." ”
"You mean, someone used the relationship?"
The director immediately looked surprised, and then didn't say anything more.
I still know Yang Xiaoyun's background, she comes from an ordinary working family like me, and in the past two years, I have seen a few men with a bit of identity standing next to her, but they are all suitors, Yang Xiaoyun is still single now, I can't think of any man who will interfere in the personnel transfer within our company before getting a beauty.
I was a little panicked in my heart, but I also understood that the outcome was a foregone conclusion, and I immediately understood why there were so many pairs of eyes staring at me when I first joined the company.
Xiaobai ran over to comfort me, and after listening to me, she was also indignant: "This is not scientific, even if Yang Xiaoyun hugs his thigh, don't you still have Mr. Zeng?" ”
Mr. Zeng? I thought about my actions at his house last night, and calmly talked about the matter in the hospital, as for Wang Luoqi's leaning on Zeng Ziqian's shoulder, I summarized it in a few words.
Xiaobai was stunned and said, "Could it be that Wang Luoqi has already extended his magic grasp to Mr. Zeng?" It's impossible, even if Mr. Zeng has straight male cancer, it won't be ...... Do you say ......"
Xiaobai is similar to what I thought, but the difference is that in her eyes, it is normal for the second brother of the rich second generation official to have a little power in his hands and play with a few women, so he can understand Mr. Zeng's attitude better.
After all, the rich second generation who ran after her ass in the first half of the year also threatened to give her a cruise ship, Xiaobai said, what is money? They are not short of money at all, what they lack is sincerity, which is referred to as lack of morality.
After a while, she mentioned my promotion again and asked me if it was possible that Mr. Zeng was about to give up.
I really didn't expect it, it sounded even more irritating.
The workplace is no better than the school, there are crises everywhere, once there is a conflict of interest, tearing the face is a matter of minutes.
finally adjusted his mood, but as soon as he entered the office, he heard Yang Xiaoyun's voice: "You don't have to be polite to me, just like before, I set up a private room in Taihe tonight, and I will have a farewell party for our Lao Wang, everyone has to be there." ”
The new official has just taken office, and he can't wait to hold a farewell party for his former boss?
I was thinking about it, when I noticed a beam of eyes sweeping over, and then I heard Yang Xiaoyun say: "Sister Xiaojie, why are you here now, you asked for sick leave just after the letter of appointment came down yesterday, I thought you were dissatisfied with me." ”
Hiding a knife in a smile is one of the essential skills in the workplace.
However, it is Yang Xiaoyun's workplace skills.
"Where, I'm taking a leave of absence for a sprain, and I haven't had time to congratulate you." If you lose, you lose, and I still have this kind of bearing.
"Yo, why are you so careless," Yang Xiaoyun leaned over, looking very concerned, and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to get to work with the things you have in hand, if you hurt your wrist, it will be a big deal." ”
Other colleagues also exchanged a few words of greeting, and then changed the topic.
I thought about the situation when I was sitting in Yang Xiaoyun's car that day, and I couldn't stop crying or laughing.
When I came back from the cafeteria at noon, Yang Xiaoyun deliberately walked with me, and said as she walked: "Sister Xiaojie, everyone thinks that the position of director belongs to you, and now my name is written on the appointment letter, you must have some ideas in your heart, right?" ”
Lead a conversation?
"No, you have a lot of good things in you that I want to learn."
"I'm relieved if you say that, after all, we will have to fight side by side every day in the future, and I don't want to cause unpleasantness."
After the conversation, I tiredly went to the bathroom, preferring to stare at the toilet in a daze.
What I didn't expect was that Dr. Liang actually called me, briefly said a few words about my injury, and then asked me if I was free to go to the hospital today for a review.
I hurriedly explained that my injuries were mostly healed and that there was no need to bother.
"The fruit you sent was divided among several colleagues, and there were still two apples left when I came to duty." Dr. Liang suddenly changed the subject, and his voice was not as cold as it had just been.
Only then did I think of what Dr. Liang said about Sister Huang, and said embarrassedly, "Then I'll send you some next time." ”
"Okay, the apples are sweet, thank you."
The phone hung up, and I stared at the screen a few times before returning to the office.
Because someone was treated, the atmosphere in the office was quite lively throughout the afternoon, but I was not the only one. But Yang Xiaoyun also named me to come over.
Taiheju is a Japanese restaurant, just near our company, the meal time is set at half past seven in the evening, after work, everyone goes separately, a few girls go back to change clothes, and the remaining few people go to the restaurant with Yang Xiaoyun.
Because of the sprain, I had some trouble with computer graphics, so I sat in the office for half an hour and finally went to the restaurant. After signing up for a private room, I went up to the second floor.
The decoration style here is uniform, all Japanese-style sliding doors, and as soon as I walked to the door, I heard the voices of several women.
"Sister Xiaoyun, why do you want to invite Yuan Xiaojie, I have a headache when I see her."
"You're stupid, Sister Xiaoyun is now the design director, don't you know? Before that, everyone thought that this position was Yuan Xiaojie's, but now? Her hopes were disappointed, hahahahahaha......"
It's the two girls in the marketing department again.
"So, this person, you must not get carried away," Yang Xiaoyun opened his mouth and said, "Look at Yuan Xiaojie, do you think everything will be fine if you climb up to Mr. Zeng?" Don't have any real skills, and still want to be a director? ”
"By the way, haven't you seen Mr. Zeng pick her up lately? Could it be ...... Broke up? ”
"Break up? That's a word used between lovers, what is Yuan Xiaojie? Mr. Zeng was just bored to play with him, but now that he had enough fun, he kicked it away. ”
A kick away?
In fact, I have always wanted to find the right words to describe the situation when Mr. Zeng asked me to leave his house, although these four words are simple and crude, but they are extremely accurate.
I went to the bathroom to wash my face, and when I came back, the box was already full, Yang Xiaoyun looked at me, and said with a smile: "Xiaojie, come on, come on, your place is reserved for you." ”
The special effect of this face-changing is really not something that ordinary people can accomplish.
It wasn't until the food and sake were served that I realized why she had placed me on her right side, just because she wanted to have two more drinks with me.
According to the process, you have to toast your former boss first, and then it is Yang Xiaoyun's turn.
I smiled and said, "Director Yang, I am not as good as others, and I am willing to bow to the wind, and I have to thank you for your care in the future." ”
Yang Xiaoyun happily clinked glasses with me and said, "Where, teach each other, teach each other." ”
Yang Xiaoyun poured me wine, but several other colleagues also drank with me desperately as if they had said yes, and I was dizzy from drinking, so I excused myself to go to the bathroom, vomited for a while, and sat on the toilet and cried.
I, Yuan Xiaojie, were going to be bullied to such a field.
I wiped my eyes with tap water, bumped into someone when I went out, and heard a sentence in a daze: "Why are you here?" ”
I reluctantly raised my head and saw Liang Wenhao's face.
"Gathering ...... Dinner. ”
He frowned and said, "Drink a lot?" ”
I nodded, and instantly felt like my head was springing, and I couldn't take it back when I bounced back.
"Can you go?"
"Yes." I took a step, I took a step, I looked back at him, and I said, "Look, yes." ”
Liang Wenhao immediately stood beside me, supported me, and said a few words to the waiter who was standing not far away. He helped me to the box, and I heard him say, "I'm really sorry, my friend has drunk too much tonight and is delirious, I want to take her back first, and I ask for your understanding." ”
It's a crepe tone again.
The director immediately replied and escorted us to the door, and then turned around and left.
Actually, what Dr. Liang said was not right, I was just drinking high, and my body was a little uncontrollable, but my consciousness was clear.
Then, I was towed to the car.
Liang Wenhao sat next to me on the phone, listening to his meaning, as if he was looking for a substitute driver. I hurriedly took out my phone and said, "I have a substitute driver here...... Driver's number. ”
"Shut up." He spoke sternly, then chattered into the phone.
I leaned aggrievedly against the car window, thinking about the colleagues upstairs who would change their faces, and the more I thought about it, the more unpleasant it became.
I still miss Mr. Zeng a little, he is so cruel, I still miss him.
"Sleeping?" Dr. Liang hung up the phone and asked me a question.
I sniffed and said, "Headache." ”
That's right, not heartache.
"You wait here for me, I'll be back in a moment, okay?"
"Not good."
"Five minutes?"
"Okay. One minute and sixty seconds, five minutes and three hundred seconds. I count. ”
After a sigh, the car fell silent. I closed my eyes and counted, and as I counted, I thought of Mr. Zeng again.
After a while, there was a figure beside me, and something was placed in my hand, which was very warm.
"Drink some." He began to give orders again, "I'll send you back after drinking." ”
If I am obedient, will Mr. Zeng be happy? I thought helplessly. But what did he give me to drink, it was so sweet.
When the substitute driver came, Mr. Zeng hugged me into his arms with his long arms, and said softly: "Sleep, I'll call you when I arrive." ”
When I woke up, it was noon, my body was twisting slightly, my head was like a cracked eye, and my first reaction was to see where I was sleeping.
Fortunately, I slept in my own home.
So...... What about Mr. Zeng?
I rolled over violently, pushed open the bedroom door, and saw the man standing at the dining table.
Wait, not Mr. Zeng.
Liang Wenhao.
"Awake?" Dr. Liang looked at me very strangely and said, "Let's eat." ”
I glanced at the table, three dishes and one soup.
I didn't have a taste for this meal, and even though I tried hard, I still didn't wake up the memory of last night, and the impression only stayed at the moment of meeting outside the bathroom.
However, Dr. Liang's gestures and information are not so simple.
How so? It seemed like overnight we got a lot closer.
I guess I played stupidly all night again. Feeling?
The soup in my mouth lingered in my throat, and I reluctantly swallowed it and said, "Dr. Liang, I didn't do anything to you last night, did I?" ”
The sound of "cough cough cough" came, and Liang Wenhao hurriedly wiped his mouth with a tissue and glanced at me meaningfully.
"I ......"
"Let's eat." The man in front of him said lightly, "Your colleague has called you several times, see if you want to reply to one." ”
I'm finished.
I haven't cleared up the relationship with Mr. Zeng yet, and I "hooked up" with Dr. Liang in front of everyone in the same department, and in the eyes of those who don't know, "watery poplar" can't describe my "debauchery".
This original sentence was said by Xiaobai, and the situation in the company can be imagined.
At the critical moment, Yang Xiaoyun also came over to join in the fun, and when the phone came back, she said with a smile: "Everyone drank high last night, you don't have to worry about asking for leave." ”
This tone clearly shows that there is something in the words.
"No, no, no, I don't need to take time off," I can't remember how many times I've asked for it this month, "I go to work on time in the afternoon." ”
"That's it......" Yang Xiaoyun hesitated a little and said, "That's it, the other party pointed out some problems in the plan we submitted last time, why don't you go there in the afternoon?" On the personnel department, I said you came early in the morning? ”
Is it different to be a leader?
I thought about it, and I didn't suffer a loss in this plan, so I immediately agreed.
"By the way, Xiao Yuan, who came to pick you up last night?"
I glanced at Liang Wenhao at the dining table and replied, "Ordinary friends." ”
I was still a little hesitant when I sent Liang Wenhao to the side door of the community, after all, his eyes always made me feel that I had accidentally done something immoral, and after he got into the car, I mustered up the courage to ask again: "Doctor Liang, I really don't ...... it"
"Think for yourself." Dr. Leung looked at me, immediately started the engine, and said, "Go back." ”
Doesn't that give me a dumb riddle?
Because I was on official business, I didn't dare to think too much about last night's events, and when I arrived at the factory, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was gray, disturbing people's minds.
When I told the security guard that I was looking for the person in charge of the marketing department, I called, and the person in charge told me that the person in charge had gone on a business trip yesterday.
It is impossible for Yang Xiaoyun not to know about this.
I walked back depressed, but God didn't give me face, and it rained. I had an umbrella in my bag all year round, and I walked along the road for twenty minutes, and finally waited for the car, and I was mostly wet.
On the way back to the city, I received a call from Liang Wenhao, asking if I had an umbrella with me.
I sensed that the concern had exceeded my expectations, and after expressing my gratitude, I hung up immediately.
Liang Xiaobai also called me and asked me where I was, saying that there was an event at night, and on the phone, I heard Zhao Yang's voice.
How could I not know about such an obvious move? Only, can I still participate?
Xiaobai didn't wait for me to respond, just said to wait for me, and hung up the phone. It was already dark when I arrived in the city, I took a taxi to the side gate of the community, but I didn't expect to walk in and a person came to meet me.
With such a tall figure, I immediately thought of Mr. Zeng.
When I got closer, I realized that the person who came was Liang Wenhao.
I thought it was a hallucination, but I didn't react.
He looked at me with his umbrella in his hand, his eyes fell on my half-wet coat, handed it to me, and as he spoke, he took off his coat and draped it over me.
I was so frightened that I hesitated, and when I heard him say, "I was passing by at night, so I thought I would send this over." ”
I looked down and saw that it was a notepad that I usually use for work.
I followed Liang Wenhao's residence with a weak heart, and I weighed how to explain it in my heart. As soon as I walked downstairs, I heard Xiaobai's voice.
Looking up, there were two people standing beside her, one was Zhao Yang, and the other was Mr. Zeng, who she hadn't seen for a long time.
