78. You're getting more and more handsome
is just a simple greeting, as if silently pushing himself to the center of public opinion. I clenched the wine glass in annoyance, but Mr. Zeng was silent, everyone's attention stayed on me and him, a second of time was stretched, like slow motion in a movie, the scene here was suddenly magnified, after a while, Mr. Zeng slowly started, and said: "Yuan Xiaojie, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't dare to look at you directly." ”
It's the most common compliment in social situations, and it makes my heart beat faster. I pretended to be calm and replied: "I have won the award, and you are becoming more and more handsome." ”
Mr. Lu seemed to have sniffed out the signs, he stretched out his hand, and said gentlemanly: "Director Yuan, it turns out that you and Zeng always know each other, come on, please take a seat." ”
This arranged for me to sit next to Zeng Ziqian?
I glanced at the man leaning back on the couch, his expression languid, neither nodding in agreement nor objecting.
I was a little displeased in my heart, this man was really as arrogant as ever.
Xiaobai noticed my abnormality, came out of the round, and said: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Zeng, I'm really embarrassed, our director seems to be drunk, I'll take her to ......"
Zeng Ziqian's eyes swept over and stared at me, with no clear meaning in his eyes.
I didn't like the look in his eyes, but I wouldn't let myself back down.
"Yuan Xiaojie's alcohol consumption is still the same as at the beginning." Zeng Ziqian opened his mouth, patted the sofa with his right hand, and said, "Sit down and slow down." ”
Again, this tone.
Xiaobai secretly pulled the placket of my clothes, I reached out and patted the back of her hand, and said with a smile: "It's my honor to be able to sit with Mr. Zeng." ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I sat down, Zeng Ziqian sat diagonally opposite me, surrounded by the boss who had just received our business card, some older than him, some younger than him, but they all sat on the side, and Mr. Zeng sat in the center of the crowd with peace of mind.
Xiaobai saw my thoughts, and sat next to me, Mr. Lu looked at me, and said with a smile: "Director Yuan, I have to toast you." ”
I understand Mr. Lu's situation, when he came to us to cooperate, I didn't ask too much for the price, unlike those big customers I met in the past, his company only has about 40 people, and it has just started not long ago, the same entrepreneur, I can understand his feelings, but I didn't expect that Zeng Ziqian, a man who plays in the shopping mall, will actually cooperate with him.
Hengyu is not short of money, I should not be polite if I knew this.
"Mr. Lu, this glass of wine should be my toast to you." I smiled and said, "Thank you for trusting us." ”
I have a hint in this.
If this cooperation is the unanimous opinion of Mr. Lu and Mr. Zeng, then can I think that this matter is also related to Zeng Ziqian?
Does Mr. Zeng know that I have a studio? Does Mr. Tsang understand that it is very difficult for me to operate this small studio? So, is Mr. Lu's arrival unintentional or intentional?
Mr. Lu took a drink of refreshment, then looked at me and said, "Director Yuan, when it comes to trust, in fact, you have to thank Mr. Zeng, you also know the plan this time, in fact, it is still a bit difficult for the domestic audience, and in the end, Mr. Zeng finalized it, you have to have a drink." ”
Was it finalized by Mr. Zeng?
I took another glass of champagne from the waiter's hand, bypassed Mr. Lu, walked in front of Zeng Ziqian, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zeng, thank you for your appreciation, I respect you for this cup." ”
Obviously drinking the champagne of foreigners, but using the Chinese way of toasting.
After drinking it all, several bosses laughed and said that I was refreshed, and Zeng Ziqian also gave me face and drank the glass of champagne in his hand.
The waiter brought the wine over, and Zhao Yang immediately stopped it, but was disturbed by Zeng Ziqian's eyes, and everything fell in my eyes.
In fact, I also noticed that the previous CEOs clinked glasses with Zeng Ziqian, he took a shallow sip, and after drinking a circle, there was still so much champagne in the glass, and I was a little vindictive when I toasted, and as I wished, he did it.
Mr. Zeng said that we are old acquaintances, and to put it mildly, we have crossed paths before, I am not stupid, I understand, he is drawing a line with me in the crowd.
I didn't dare to climb high, and when I came out to eat, I naturally wanted to know what my identity was.
The drinking party lasted until ten o'clock in the evening, and it was a bit boring to listen to a group of men sitting there bragging about it. Of course, there was also one of the biggest cold figures during this period, that is, Zeng Ziqian.
With him, can the atmosphere be lively?
By the end of the day, my head was dizzy, and I didn't feel much like the champagne thing, but it had a lot of stamina. I went to the bathroom with Xiaobai, and standing in front of the mirror, I was a little lost.
There were still a few men who came to pay their respects at the reception.
Xiaobai helped me to the elevator and told me that the sunspot had come, and when the elevator was about to close, a few people came to meet me, and as soon as I looked up, I saw Zeng Ziqian also walking in.
Next to him stood Zhao Yang.
Xiaobai didn't pay much attention to Zhao Yang because of me, but she probably sensed my emotions, and the way she greeted her automatically turned on the sarcastic mode.
Zeng Ziqian was standing on my right, and everyone was silent when the elevator fell, and at this time I felt uncomfortable in my stomach and retched untimely.
Embarrassed.
When the elevator reached the first floor, Zeng Ziqian was the first to walk out, and several other CEOs also went down one by one, and Xiaobai and I finally walked out. originally thought that President Zeng had left, but unexpectedly he stood in front of the main gate and greeted Mr. Lu.
I glanced over my face and secretly told Xiaobai to go through the side door.
At this time, a voice sounded in his ear: "Liang Xiaobai, my second brother asked me to ask you if you need a driver." ”
It was Zhao Yang's voice.
"Hey, Zeng is really empathetic," Xiaobai raised his voice and said, "But it's a pity, we have a driver." ”
After speaking, we walked out of the main entrance, and when I passed by Zeng Ziqian's side, I didn't look up.
I thought Xiaobai was just saying these words out of his mind, but as soon as I walked out, I heard someone shouting at us.
There really is a driver.
It's just that Liang Wenhao also came.
I panicked a little, but was helped into the car by this man.
Two cars, Xiaobai and Heizi walked, and I sat in Liang Wenhao's car.
When the car started, I reluctantly raised my head and vaguely caught a glimpse of Zeng Ziqian's back.
It seems that the few times I saw him, I just saw his back.
A low, hoarse singing voice sounded in the car, and I leaned against the window, feeling uncomfortable and secretly shedding tears.
It's clear that goodbye is a stranger, but I can't be quiet, it's okay to be ignored and despised, but I can't stand his unfamiliar look.
Alcohol is such a harmful thing.
The car was parked downstairs, I reluctantly reached out to open the door, pressed the button, the car did not respond, I turned my face depressedly, only to find that Liang Wenhao was staring at me.
"Thank you."
After hearing these two words from me, he sighed softly and asked, "Are you drunk?" ”
I nodded, and shook my head again.
"You haven't contacted me for the past few days, is it because you've met him?"
It's a very simple question, and yet the answer can hurt.
"Yes."
Liang Wenhao glanced at his face, his breathing became more and more solemn, and he suddenly said, "It's been so long, hasn't he moved out of your heart?" ”
Move out?
I glanced down at my heart, patted it gently, and said, "yes, he's been living here for so long, and he doesn't pay any rent." ”
Liang Wenhao smiled inappropriately, he took some paper from the side, stretched it out in front of me, wiped his face, and then wiped his nose.
"You let me tell you what's good."
After getting out of the car, I didn't meet Xiaobai, I asked Liang Wenhao to call her, and he said no, Xiaobai went to Heizi.
I sighed, my stomach churned, and before I could get to the trash can, I vomited.
I feel sick myself.
Liang Wenhao wiped my mouth, and after spitting up, I was weak, and his tone was dissatisfied: "I don't have that amount of alcohol." ”
My consciousness slowly blurred, and finally, I was lying on my stomach in a safe place.
The tip of the nose is a little itchy, and there is a faint fragrance. The body jolted slightly, as if sitting on a sedan chair.
Then I realized that Liang Wenhao was carrying me on his back.
I said he was Zhu Bajie.
When I woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day, and I vaguely remembered that I was with Liang Wenhao at the end, and I turned over and got out of bed, and saw Xiaobai drying clothes on the balcony.
When she saw me wake up, she smiled and said, "You can really sleep." ”
I glanced at the clock, and it was noon.
Xiaobai glanced at me, followed her eyes, and posted a note on the refrigerator: Next time I get drunk, I will take advantage.
Liang Wenhao stayed.
Xiaobai was not in a good mood, and when he asked the reason, it turned out that he had a quarrel with Kuroko. It turned out that Kuroko had complained about Xiaobai's work more than once, and he said that he didn't like the nature of Xiaobai's work.
In our society, there will always be many requirements for the nature of women's work, if you run a blind date market, you will find that this kind of requirements are very demanding, men like the nature of girls' work is simple, such as teachers, civil servants, etc., most afraid of meeting girls who do sales and public relations, most of the men's parents will mind.
Kuroko's family belongs to the traditional type, and his parents hope that their daughter-in-law will live an honest and responsible life, and they don't like her to show her face too much outside, especially after the incident with Mr. Huang last time, Kuroko's dissatisfaction is even more serious.
Xiaobai and Kuroko's progress has been going very smoothly until they have a disagreement on this matter.
Moreover, the sunspot actually gave her a gift until Zhao Yang before, and she bumped into her last night, and she was also dissatisfied.
Xiao Bai Qi ran back early in the morning.
Xiaobai felt that Kuroko didn't understand her enough, and didn't trust her enough, and even looked down on her a little because of the nature of her work.
Kuroko called, and Xiaobai hung up directly, saying that she didn't want to lose herself because of a man.
When the topic came to me, we naturally mentioned Mr. Zeng. Xiaobai thinks the same as me, Mr. Lu cooperated with us this time, and nine times out of ten, he was instructed by Mr. Zeng.
Just why? He dissociated himself from me in front of everyone, but helped me in private?
Obsessed, or, guilty? Or, it's just that we're overthinking.
Xiaobai said that work belongs to work and cannot be confused with emotion.
I understand what Xiaobai means, and if I think about it, I still miss the old love, and I am not free enough.
But I don't need sympathy.
In the afternoon, I contacted Mr. Lu, the cooperation has ended, and after the final payment is received, I will be less involved with the man. Mr. Lu said that he was busy with financial matters, so let me go over in person.
I changed into my formal attire, stepped on my heels and went out.
Mr. Lu's company is in an office building in the center of the city, and the pomp is not large, but the spirit of the indoor staff is very good. I explained my intention to the girl at the front desk, and she led me over.
I didn't go to the finance room, but to Mr. Lu's office.
The office door was pushed open, and the conversation between the two men reached my ears, and I was stunned, and when I looked up, I saw Zeng Ziqian sitting there.
He's there?
Mr. Lu asked the front desk to make me tea, and I smiled and said no, ready to fight quickly. Mr. Lu heard the meaning of my words, glanced at Zeng Ziqian, and said, "Since this is the case, I will not force it to stay." ”
I got on the elevator with the receipt for the final payment, but Zeng Ziqian also came in. We had a face-to-face, I smiled, and he looked calm.
"I drank so much yesterday, and I look pretty good."
"Where, Mr. Zeng is not drunk for a thousand cups. With so many people toasting you, aren't you refreshed now? ”
"Heh," Zeng Ziqian probably heard my sarcasm, and said, "This plan is very different from your previous works, which is quite funny. ”
"Thank you."
"We can work together when we have the opportunity," Tsang said, looking at me and saying, "I like this kind of creativity." ”
I met Zeng Ziqian's gaze and looked at each other, and I realized that I was too stupid.
That's right, we're just getting acquainted.
"We'll talk about it later."
However, there is no future.
When I came back, I went to the office, mopped the floor, cleaned and watered the flowers, and when I felt weak, I sat at the window in a daze.
I know that the questions that have not been asked need answers are no longer needed, and at this moment, I am also trying to clear away the hidden hopes in my heart.
I understand that meeting again is just proving that the original choice was correct.
Now, the only thing that gives me a sense of security is the balance in the card.
I took two more small advertisements, and I was busy day and night for two days, and the messy emotions were finally left behind, but the appetite became worse and worse as I got older.
On Friday night, Liang Wenhao called me, and this time, he was more direct than ever: "I want to watch a movie, are you free?" ”
I said no.
"Female King Kong, I'm already outside your company."
I hurriedly opened the door and saw the fine sweat on Liang Wenhao's face.
"When did you come?"
Liang Wenhao glanced at me and said, "I'm waiting for you to go out, but you won't come out." ”
I was helpless and said, "I haven't changed my clothes, so I can't go." ”
"I don't mind."
I surrendered and followed Liang Wenhao to Wanda, passing through the snack street, the fragrance was fragrant, I bought several copies, and feasted on them. When the heavy rain came, we were not prepared at all, and bought a transparent umbrella at the intersection, and as soon as I held it up, Liang Wenhao hid in.
I pointed to the aunt who sold the umbrella and said, "You can buy one too." ”
Liang Wenhao shook his head, took the umbrella in my hand, and said, "Isn't this okay." ”
Two people with an umbrella are somewhat cramped, and the clothes in this season are thinner and the cuffs are short, so it is inevitable that there will be skin contact. Aware of this, I quietly distanced myself, Liang Wenhao raised the umbrella above my head, and followed me all the way to the cinema.
The clothes on his left side were half-wet, but he happily chose a film with me.
I like comedy, but there is no one in the movie that was released, and after discussing it for a while, Liang Wenhao made a decision to watch a ghost movie.
I gave him a blank look, and he hurriedly defended himself, and asked casually: "Aren't you afraid?" If you don't want to see it, just replace it? ”
The movie tickets bought at full price, the list has been made, no refunds or exchanges, and popcorn and coke.
When I was in school, I would watch ghost movies with my roommates, the Japanese soundtrack was scary, the European and American ones were a little bloody, and Thailand was really scary.
We just so happened to be looking.
There are couples' seats on the right, and the rows are full of couples, Liang Wenhao pointed to the position and said, "I think the angle is good, why don't we sit over?" ”
I rolled my eyes wide and started eating popcorn.
A few minutes after the movie, Liang Wenhao couldn't sit still, and when he saw that I was confused, he pointed to his left shoulder and said, "The clothes are soaked and uncomfortable." ”
"Where?"
Liang Wenhao took my hand and stuffed it into his neckline.
My clothes were soaking wet, but my hands were in close contact with someone's back. I was a little annoyed, and Liang Wenhao pretended not to know.
When the movie reached Gao Chao, the girls in the couple seat staged a big drama of fear, and I grabbed the popcorn and nibbled on it, forcing myself to be calm.
Liang Wenhao was slightly disappointed.
At the end of the movie, everyone walked out in twos and threes, Liang Wenhao's hand was on my shoulder, and he walked out of the crowd with a very satisfied expression.
I stopped a car on the side of the road under the pretext of going to the company to get documents. Without waiting for him to speak, he hurried away.
Sitting in the back seat, I let out a long sigh.
At ten o'clock, I returned to the office, made a cup of coffee, and started learning French again. After a few sentences, I heard the teacher say a familiar pronunciation, and after listening to it several times, I realized that this sentence was the one that Liang Wenhao taught me in the restaurant that day.
Glancing at Chinese - I love you.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door, I was very frightened, the horror of the ghost movie in the theater reappeared in front of my eyes, I looked at the cat's eye, and suddenly froze.
The door opened, and Liang Wenhao stood at the door, his eyes full of grievances.
I tried to adjust the atmosphere, but before I could say anything, he walked in and closed the door.
On such a rainy night, the atmosphere is very delicate.
Seeing the coffee on my table, he threw it into the toilet bowl desperately, turned to look at me, and said, "Even if you want to get close to that man, there is no need to torture yourself so much." ”
My little mind was pierced in an instant, and I didn't even know where to put my hand.
Working hard to make money is for himself, Liang Wenhao must have misunderstood.
I fished the disposable paper cup out of the toilet, turned my back to the man, and said, "Aren't you going back yet?" ”
Liang Wenhao was really angry, snatched the toilet brush out of my hand, threw it on the ground, held my face with both hands, and kissed me.
I was also quite angry and said that he was pretending to be a gentleman.
It was useless to scold, the people intensified and pushed me directly against the wall, put one hand around my waist, looked at me face to face, and said, "You really have no conscience." ”
"If you know, it's good."
Liang Wenhao was even more angry, kissed my nose, clamped my hand, and then kissed my earlobe. I was so itchy and angry that I said, "Believe it or not, I kicked your ......"
Liang Wenhao clamped my legs, his lips fell on my lips gently, and he kissed me with a peck of rice, one bite after another.
After several kisses, he looked at me contentedly and said, "A rascal told me that the closest thing to a woman's heart is ......."
I stepped on his foot, and he bared his teeth in pain.
Before leaving, he ordered him not to contact me for the next few days. My tone was very bad, it could be said that it was very bad, but he said indifferently: "I will endure it first, and I can't help it." ”
I can't say anything more ruthlessly.
Xiaobai said that he should give himself a chance to start over.
The result of eating and drinking was miserable, the next morning I realized that my stomach was uncomfortable, until the afternoon, finally pulled out of dehydration, went to the nearby hospital to register, so a lot of people, I waited one by one, the test took more than an hour, the doctor told me, it was acute gastroenteritis.
In the community hospital, the beds were occupied, and there were two reclining chairs left, so I chose one of them and lay on it for an intravenous drip.
My stomach was empty, and my mood was extremely bad. The four bottles of drips were pumped until two o'clock in the morning, and there was a vacant seat in the ward, and I lay down, weak and weak.
The doctor suggested that I be hospitalized, and the enthusiastic little nurse helped pay the hospitalization fee for one night, and I fell asleep steadily.
It was very hot and uncomfortable at night.
When I woke up, I still had a small towel on my head, pink, which was very cute.
I thanked the nurse, and she laughed at me for having a fever and I didn't even know that my boyfriend was coming to take care of me.
The little towel was brought by my boyfriend.
As I spoke, there were two people standing at the door of the ward, one was Xiaobai and the other was Liang Wenhao. Xiaobai looked at me in a panic and said, "I slept too early last night and didn't see the message, how are you?" ”
After a night's sleep, my spirits are much better, but I am a little hungry.
Xiaobai scolded me for being a workaholic, Liang Wenhao stood aside and asked the little nurse about my condition, they were all doctors, and they finished communicating in a few words, and then turned their faces to look at me and said, "Coffee in the middle of the night?" If you don't eat on time, do you really think you're a female King Kong? ”
The little nurse looked at me and looked at Liang Wenhao a few more times before walking out.
I had a small towel in my hand.
asked Xiaobai, and she said that she came with Liang Wenhao.
My mind was jumbled, and someone in my consciousness had indeed been holding my hand, and glancing at the little pink towel, was even more uneasy.
Liang Wenhao also just arrived.
