Chapter 19: Progress Happens

One Thursday morning, as usual, I went to the door of the company at around 7:40 and waited for Xiaoyou to come to work and open the door. Since I didn't have the company of cigarettes, I had to stand back by the door and wait.

In about five minutes, Xiaoyou came, and as usual, looking for the key and opening the door, he was already immune to my existence, and there was a feeling that if you didn't listen, he would treat you as air.

After cleaning up the office and sitting back in the chair, I found that it was eight o'clock and I didn't see Xiao Chen coming.

After another ten minutes, I was really depressed, although Xiao Chen was a little lazy, he was really late, so he decided to call him to ask about the situation.

"Hey, are you stupid today, do you know what time it is?" Answering the phone, I couldn't help but wake him up.

"Didn't you read the QQ that I sent to you last night? I took a leave of absence today. ”

"Oh, I went to bed pretty early last night. Okay, it's good to have a leave of absence. ”

"Well, let's talk about it later, I'll get busy first."

"Okay."

hung up the phone, went to QQ, and saw the message he sent, which was sent at ten o'clock last night, saying that there was a bit of an urgent matter at home, and he had to go back, and he had asked Mr. Huang for leave.

Xiao Chen's leave made the already quiet company even more silent. In this two-person world that was supposed to make me jump with joy, I felt more anxious and uneasy.

Watching the time in the lower right corner of the computer fly by mercilessly, I am like an ant on a hot pot, just trying to escape from this strange space.

"Xiao Chen didn't come, you have to help him wipe the table!" I don't know when I showed up at my desk.

"Holy." I was directly frightened and said foul words, and then I reacted, "Ah, you also know that Xiao Chen asked for leave." ”

"Mr. Huang just told me. In the future, you have to tell me that the time you ask for leave is not a salary, and I have to record it. ”

"Oh, good."

With that, she turned and left.

"Wait, what does it mean that this leave is not counted as salary?" My brain was delayed by something.

"Deduction of money." She had no choice but to turn around and come back and continue to explain to me.

"Don't say that you can take two days off, how can you still deduct money."

"Don't you know that you pay your salary on a monthly basis and calculate your money on a daily basis?"

"I know this, but I didn't take more than two days off, and it didn't exceed the company's regulations, so why should I deduct money?"

"I don't know!" I saw that she wanted to continue to explain, but when the words came to her lips, she directly changed it to not knowing.

"This woman is also quite dry-tempered." Seeing her face shake, I could only mutter in my heart.

"Go wipe the table!" She shouted inside.

"Okay, Roger." I craned my neck and shouted back to her.

While wiping the table and the air conditioner, I thought, Xiaoyou didn't tell me why, I can't run to ask Mr. Huang, how strange, wait for the boss to mistakenly think that I am an intern employee and have a lot to do. The result I could think of was what Xiao Chen said, the company was very picky. Hey, come on, don't ask for leave if it's okay, it's hard to make money!

After wiping the table and returning to the desk, I suddenly returned to the state I was in just now, anxious and restless. Try to get into the working state and fail. Try to think about Xiao Yu, failure. Then all kinds of strange ideas came to my mind, one by one, and my brain was stirred into a paste.

Xiao Chen asked for leave, I didn't blame him for not being there. But what is the situation today, what about my beloved Mr. Huang? Did you go hand in hand with Xiao Chen? Why haven't you come yet!

At this moment, I wish there was someone who could break this damn dead silence.

The more I begged for it to come, the more disappointed I was in the future.

It wasn't until I got off work in the morning that I stood up violently and cheered myself up, "Damn, it's not a flood beast, what's there to be disturbed, I didn't do anything, what can she do to me?" Take it easy, be natural, just a colleague, calm down! ”

To cheer myself up, I left my seat and passed by the door of her office, staring ahead, not daring to even glance in.

"Xiaoyou, do you want to eat together at noon? Xiao Chen didn't come, and I wouldn't eat it alone. "I swear, I never thought of asking her to have dinner with me, but when I passed by her door, I came back to ask her.

"No, no." She looked up at me and refused outright.

"Okay." I didn't lose it, and I didn't fight for it anymore, I just felt normal.

When I was waiting for the elevator, I was a little weak in my back, how could I ask her so naturally just now, I didn't have any ideas, and it was really much easier. It's just that I just walked to the elevator entrance, and the state was gone.

Watching the elevator stuck on the eleventh floor for a long time, I pressed the down button a few more times. Xiao You also walked out, and I instantly began to feel a little nervous again, and I even had to explain to her that I didn't mean to wait for her, but I didn't know what to do on the eleventh floor, and the elevator was stuck there. Or rather, I want to go straight to the stairs.

I was waiting for the elevator with her, and it was still on the eleventh floor.

"How long have you been waiting?"

"Uh...... It's been a while, and I don't know why? ”

She looked at the eleventh floor, which was not moving, and also pressed the down button.

"What are you doing, so annoying." She said a little impatiently.

I didn't dare to say anything.

"I'm annoyed!" I think she's on the verge of going berserk.

I leaned to the side, and as soon as she flared, I ran to take the stairs.

"What are you doing?" She looked at me a little impatiently, and realized how I had stepped aside.

"No, I think it might be that the elevator is broken, or the upstairs is moving, don't worry, this is an elevator, it's normal to be occupied, and it should come down soon." I try to keep my voice as low and clear as possible.

"Poof~ You're scared?" She probably couldn't hold back looking at my cautious look.

"I'm a person who has already failed half and has little chance, so it's better not to make you angry."

"This elevator is none of your business."

"You can't beat the elevator, I'm afraid you will pick up my soft persimmon pinch."

"You said it was so vicious."

"That's no, it's just prevention. I still want to work hard, and I can't break my business because of the elevator. ”

"Are you still thinking about that?"

"My career hasn't been successful yet, so I can't keep trying."

"Hey, it's moving." She looked at the elevator and finally breathed a sigh of relief, she really had to choose to take the stairs if she didn't move.

I didn't say anything and waited for the elevator to come down.

The elevator door opened, and it was really moving things, two workers, a few very long planks that had reached the top of the elevator, and they didn't know what to do. I walked in first, and Xiao You followed in and pressed the elevator, moving a few steps so that there was a me.

Walked out of the elevator and arrived at the small door. My direction is to the left and her direction is to the right

"What are you going to eat alone?" Her words made me stop turning around and shut my mind.

"Eat, eat......" I couldn't speak, just pointed in the direction to the left.

"It's the little fried shop at the gate again."

"Eat whatever you want." I nodded, but I didn't really want to eat at any restaurant, but I habitually wanted to go over there to see if there was anything suitable for one person.

"Didn't you just invite me to dinner? Why don't you ask me again? ”

"This ...... You just refused, I, I don't dare to ask you again. ”

"Don't dare? Still embarrassed? With that, she was already walking to the right.

"Don't dare, I'm embarrassed." I followed her to the right.

"What do you want to eat? You're in for a treat! ”

"It's no problem to have a treat, I can eat whatever you want, I can do it."

"Let's go eat noodle soup."

"Okay."

Follow her all the way to the right to the corner, there was a gate not far away, but this gate was closed, and a small door was opened, which should not be used as the main passage in and out.

On the way, she didn't speak again, and I didn't dare to talk nonsense, because I finally had the opportunity to eat together, for fear of being lost.

After walking for about seven or eight minutes, she was taken into a noodle shop, which was not big, but the overall feeling was very simple, with six tables and four people. When I ordered, I ordered the same one as her, but I added green onions, ginger and garlic and it was slightly spicy.

"Do you know why I'm suddenly eating with you again?" As soon as I sat down, she asked me.

I shook my head.

"Because I was waiting for the elevator just now, looking at you like that, and thinking about the past few days, you are quite honest, so I am not so afraid."

"You're scared to confess to you?"

"Sort of! I also confessed to me before, I told him that I had a boyfriend, and he was still stalking, and it was very excessive, so I told him that I was going to call the police, and he didn't come to me again. ”

I smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to reply to her.

"However, it's not good for you to be like this, you can't catch up with the girl."

"yes, inexperienced, no way." Her two sentences made me embarrassed and embarrassed.

"Colleague, I suggest you be bold."

"Dare to chase you?"

"Oh, I'm telling you that as a colleague, okay. Didn't I tell you I had a boyfriend? ”

"Well, you've said several times that you have a boyfriend."

"Then why do you want to chase me? I mean, you've got to chase other girls. ”

"Other girls? Then you better don't talk about chasing this, I'm afraid I'll use it on you. ”

"You're really brainless, hurry up and finish eating, keep your distance."

"Hmm." I nodded.

Looking up at her, she didn't speak, she was turning her head to wait for the face, and it was estimated that she was even slow to get on the face today.

"Am I scared of you a lot, too?" I couldn't help but ask her again.

"No, you won't. Disciplined, very honest. I said no, no, no, and you won't continue to pester. ”

"Then I can continue to like you, so be it. I promise not to mess around, really, no. ”

"You're a ...... It's kind of silly. She looked at me a little surprised, thinking that I was too honest and didn't hide it. On the other hand, I think I'm unreasonable.

"It's fine." I finally stopped being so nervous and gave her a satisfied smile.

"Let's eat, go to work after eating." When the noodles came, she urged me to eat them quickly.

"Okay."

The two of them were eating noodles and didn't say anything.

It's been a few days, and finally there is some progress, although it is still the same distance, but there has been a slight change in mentality, and it can be more natural and calm.
