Chapter 16: Youth that can't be returned

Everyone is not stupid, how to say that I have been in this industry for so many years, although I have not achieved much success, but at least I can tell who is good to me and who is using me.

For example, Hu Yongqiang, he used me a lot of time, and it was because I took the position of deputy director that he sat in the position of director, and he still wants to use me.

I'm not stupid, I didn't turn my face with him before, it's because I don't want to have too many conflicts with people like him, I just want to be stable.

But he deceived people too much, and this project still wanted me to persuade Xie Dongqing, but I couldn't bear it.

Not to mention that I have a conflict with Xie Dongqing now, even if there is no contradiction, it is impossible for me to agree to him.

Hu Yongqiang knew that the plan had been exposed, and his face was a little ugly for a while, so he pretended to light a cigarette and handed me one.

Then he said hypocritically: "Gao Chang, I know that you have no credit and hard work in the company, but you have always been just a project manager, and you have complaints in your heart!" I also admit that I want you to go to Xie Dongqing, but I am also for the company, shouldn't you do this as a member of the company? ”

"Don't come to morality to kidnap me, Mr. Hu, I didn't say to give up this project, but I can't persuade Xie Dongqing."

Hu Yongqiang sneered and said, "I know that you are college classmates with him, but Gao Chang, do you really think that you are better than Xie Dongqing now?" For this project, you don't beg him to give up, you can trample us under our feet in minutes. ”

"Mr. Hu, don't say it so absolutely, I just want to ask you, is this project completed, can you really make me the deputy director?"

Hu Yongqiang said without hesitation: "Okay, when it comes to this, I also make a statement to you, as long as this project is completed, if you Gao Chang can't become the deputy director, I will take the initiative to resign!" ”

I smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Hu, then remember what you said, if you don't fulfill it by then, I will let the whole company know what your Hu Yongqiang face." ”

Hu Yongqiang's face was ugly and said: "I said Gao Chang, how can I say that I am still your direct leader now, should I be polite when I talk to me?" ”

I shrugged my shoulders and said with a smile: "Well, Mr. Hu has taught the right lesson, Mr. Hu, you don't have a lot of knowledge like me." ”

After saying that, I stood up, glanced at the large half box of Chinese on his desk, and picked it up.

"Mr. Hu, I see that you don't usually smoke much, this Huazi is a thief, and your throat hurts after smoking too much, as your subordinate, I will help you bear this pain."

"You kid!"

Hu Yongqiang glared at me fiercely, and said angrily: "This project is well completed, I will buy you ten pieces of Chinese and let you smoke enough!" ”

"Come on, that's enough to have your words."

I smiled, paused and said, "By the way, those boys in my team, don't put pressure on them, they're tired these days, let them rest." ”

"Your boss Gao has spoken, can I still do it?" Hu Yongqiang Yin and Yang Dao.

……

After coming out of Hu Yongqiang's office, I took a long breath, not because I was afraid of Hu Yongqiang, but because Hu Yongqiang was right, I really didn't have much confidence in this project.

Xie Dongqing is now a leader in this industry, as long as anyone is a builder, everyone should have heard of the name Xie Dongqing, and he was even one of the top ten outstanding young people selected by the city last year.

The gap between me and him is too big, and I come out of the same place, and it is the same university, the same dormitory, and even the relationship between bunk and bunk beds.

But why is there such a big gap between people?

Just when I was thinking about how to contact Xie Dongqing, what I didn't expect was that he took the initiative to find me.

I've deleted his WeChat, but the phone number is still there, and he sent me a text message.

The text message was simple, just ask me if I am free tonight and see you in person.

I was still quite surprised to receive his text message, but I didn't expect us to think of the same thing again.

I thought about it for a while before I replied to him, "Okay, where do we meet?" ”

Xie Dongqing sent me an address, which I know too well, the night market street we used to go to when we were in college.

At that time, Xie Dongqing and I still had a lot of fun, we would go to the night market street on Haitang West Road every Friday night, where the things were cheap and delicious, and there were many fun.

Playing balloons, I lost to Xie Dongqing every time. Ring, Xie Dongqing is not my opponent.

Every weekend we would have a great time, and when we were tired, we would find a barbecue stand on that street, scrape together enough money for the barbecue with him, eat a barbecue to our heart's content, and chase all the way back to school.

Thinking of the youth at that time, I really miss it now, but the lost youth really can't come back.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, I arrived at the night market street on Haitang West Road on time.

Unfortunately, this street is no longer a night market street, and in the torrent of time, this street has been turned into a pedestrian path for pedestrians to walk and relax.

Time flies, just like the relationship between me and Xie Dongqing and He Huan, has already changed with this street.

About ten minutes later, I met Xie Dongqing.

He doesn't seem to have changed from three years ago, but he's a little fatter, but it's okay, he's thinner before, and now he's just right for this figure.

"Ah Chang, have you been waiting for a long time?" Coming to me, it was the first thing he said.

That's right, we are unfamiliar, he must have come up and put his arm on my shoulder and said, "Ah Chang, let's go, brother will take you to eat." ”

It's really rusty, after all, there has been no contact for three whole years.

In fact, true friendship is not defeated by time, it is not only time that defeats us, but more importantly, misunderstanding.

It was because of that woman that the current situation was created.

Come to think of it, I should have hated that woman at the beginning, but now I can't hate it, because what is there to grieve about a friendship that can be broken because of a woman?

Facing Xie Dongqing's greeting, I just nodded calmly: "It's okay, I just came." ”

"You're familiar with this street, aren't you?"

We walked forward together, but we all had a tacit understanding and staggered the distance, there was no hook on the shoulders of the past, he was in front of me and I was behind.

"How could it be unfamiliar, but now it's changed."

"Well, I took over the renovation project of this street."

"You took it?" I looked at him with some surprise.

He nodded slightly: "Two years ago, I heard that this street was going to be renovated, so I took the initiative to ask Ying to take the project down and plan and design it myself." ”

I laughed and said, "No wonder I said it looks so unpleasant, it turned out that you did it." ”

Xie Dongqing also smiled and said, "What about you?" How is it going? ”

"It's not good, it's okay."

"Listening to you, it seems that you are not having a good time!"

"It's definitely not as good as you, a leader in the construction industry, and one of the top ten outstanding young people in the city."

Xie Dongqing didn't turn his face because of my yin and yang weird words, he was just stunned, and then stopped and turned to lie on the railing.

He looks a little more vicissitudes, and perhaps more mature.

After a moment of silence, Xie Dongqing suddenly took out the familiar Chaotianmen cigarette from his pocket, which was the brand we smoked when we were in school.

It's a great reminder for me, but I don't believe he's still smoking it.

He took out a cigarette and handed it to me, and then naturally lit one for himself, and after inhaling hard, the smoke drifted away with the wind.

Looking through the smoke and looking at his expression, it seemed to be full of thoughts, guilt and regret.

"Holly, you seem to have changed."
