Chapter 5: The Beautiful Woman Who Came to Dream
After Chen Lan left, home has become the place I don't like to go back to, but I have to go back. Chen Lan and I have lived here together for two years. It seems that in every corner, there are memories about her.
Lying on the bed, I lit a cigarette. A lonely person smoking a cigarette. Looking at the slowly rising green smoke, I still have Chen Lan's shadow in my mind.
The phone rang, and it was Lin You calling. picked it up casually, and heard Lin You ask me on the other end of the phone, "Lin Ran, Chen Lan called you?" ”
I paused, thought it was a little strange, and asked him, "How do you know?" ”
Lin You smiled. "Of course it's what Chen Lan told me......"
When Lin You said this, he deliberately sold the guanzi. He's waiting for me to ask him. But I didn't say a word, just took a sip of my cigarette.
Lin You saw that I didn't speak, but he still didn't hold back and continued.
"Chen Lan just called me and said she called you in the afternoon. She said that what she said to you was a bit heavy, and she was afraid that you would not be able to think about it for a while and commit suicide again......"
Although I broke up with Chen Lan. But she and Lin You are also classmates after all, although Lin You is very dissatisfied with her cheating. But I wasn't surprised that my classmates were on the phone.
I also know that the last words are nonsense between Lin You and me. I snuffed out the cigarette butt and scolded him back.
"Roll ......"
"Lin Ran, I think Chen Lan is quite concerned about you. Otherwise, one day you will make an appointment with her, and the two of you will open a room and make a nostalgic cannon. Maybe the old love will be rekindled and the broken mirror will be reunited......"
Lin You's cheap mouth can say anything. He knew it was impossible, and he deliberately used this kind of thing to provoke me. In his words, only by constantly stimulating me until one day when I heard Chen Lan's name and was indifferent, then I could really let go of her.
I didn't answer Lin You's words, and sighed slightly and said, as if talking to myself, and as if saying to Lin You, "In a few months, she should be a mother......
"Can't you? When she first called me, she said she was at the bar. Which pregnant woman do you see going to the bar? ”
Lin You's words stunned me. I've never seen a pregnant woman go to a bar. But I retorted.
"No one has a rule that you have to drink when you go to a bar......"
Lin You was speechless.
That night, I dreamed of Chen Lan again. It's been the first time I've dreamed of her since the breakup. In the dream, Chen Lan and I returned to the time when we were in love. She lay in my arms, her soft and boneless form wrapping around me. When I lowered my head and was about to kiss her, the person in my arms suddenly changed into a different person. What I didn't expect the most was that this person was actually a high-heeled beauty.
When I woke up, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. I didn't expect that I would dream of a beautiful woman in high heels, a cold and noble woman like her, maybe she would only snuggle up in my arms in a dream.
The first day of selling watermelons didn't go well. As soon as I woke up in the morning, the sky began to drizzle. By the time I got to the watermelon stand, it was almost ten o'clock. Brother Wang and his wife had already arrived. Both of them were wearing white coats with advertising slogans printed on them, and they were standing under umbrellas guarding the fresh-keeping cabinet.
Seeing me coming, Brother Wang hurriedly came to pick me up with an umbrella. The rain was not heavy, and I also like rainy days, so I didn't take Brother Wang's umbrella.
I asked Brother Wang how many copies he had sold in the morning. Brother Wang said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"It's not open yet......"
I looked at the time, and it was ten o'clock. At this time, I didn't sell a copy, and it seems that there are indeed some disadvantages today.
When Brother Wang saw that I didn't speak, he comforted me again.
"Lin Ran, don't worry. It may be the reason for the rain today, and there are fewer people buying melons. Even if you don't sell it, it's fine. When the time comes, Brother Wang will give you the money from the fresh-keeping cabinet, you are doing so much to help me, Brother Wang can't let you take the money......" I smiled and didn't speak. I wouldn't ask for his money anyway. Because it's a bet between me and the high-heeled beauty, it doesn't matter if you win or lose. But what I said, it had to be done. Besides, I had already made a plan yesterday, and I am still very confident that I will sell these watermelons.
Brother Wang saw that I didn't speak, so he asked me again.
"Lin Ran, do you know that woman?"
He was referring to high-heeled beauties. I smiled and shook my head. Brother Wang is even more strange, he may not understand why two people who don't know each other would bet because of him.
But I know that the high-heeled beauty made a bet with me to help Brother Wang. And I bet with her that it is not as simple as wanting to join Aolan International, I still have my own ideas.
Before noon, I took two boxes of watermelons and went to a nearby office building alone. I started by choosing a tech company.
This company is huge. After entering the door, I went straight to the front desk and told the front desk lady that I wanted to meet the company's purchasing manager and had a business I wanted to talk to them.
The front desk hesitated, and she looked me up and down. I'm wearing the same suit I applied for yesterday. This suit is the most expensive set of clothes I have. I was going to use it for marriage, but I don't need it now. In addition, I also said in the past, people don't look like dogs, and they don't look like messy sales. The front desk still called the purchasing department.
I was greeted by a fat man in his thirties, surnamed Zhang, who wore a pair of glasses and was a little bald. After introducing himself, he asked me with some hesitation,
"Mr. Lin, you said you have business to discuss, now please talk about it......"
Seeing that he was straight to the point, I didn't have any extra nonsense, and said directly.
"That's right, Manager Zhang. We have a batch of watermelons right now, I don't know if you're interested? ”
I'm done. The whole atmosphere immediately became a little comical. Manager Zhang opened his mouth wide and looked at me in disbelief. Although I pretended to be casual on the surface, I also felt a little embarrassed in my heart.
Manager Zhang's expression slowly changed. From the surprise at the beginning, to the contempt later. You must know that although they are not the core departments of the company, they are responsible for the company's internal procurement, but they have a lot of oil and water, especially for large companies like them.
When he heard that I was selling watermelons, he would inevitably look down on me.
