On July 1st, a huge earthquake struck the southern city where my girlfriend is located.
Ignoring the dissuasion of others, I ventured into the disaster area alone and searched for a day and a night, only to have blood blisters on my hands and a blow to my legs.
On July 3, I received a news push on my mobile phone: the female president of Anyang Group was on vacation with a young man on the island.
On July 5, I returned home alone, discarding all her belongings.
She seemed to have forgotten that it was she who begged me to give her love in the first place.
The road was blocked by a landslide, and huge rocks and a jumble of branches blocked the progress.
"Han Shao, wait patiently, it's too dangerous now, let's wait for the official notice." The assistant held me tightly.
I broke free of his hand and said firmly, "No, Lu Ying is still inside, and if I arrive a moment late, she will be frightened for a moment more." ”
"Hey! You can't go in there! Although you are in a hurry, the situation is unclear now, and it is very dangerous to act rashly! ”
The military personnel stationed at the garrison noticed our argument and hurriedly shouted a warning, quickly restraining me and immobilizing me.
I looked at the gray sky, anxious, and turned back to him, "It's okay, I'm going to use a helicopter to get in." ”
"Why can't you listen! Even if you enter by helicopter, the ground conditions are unknown, and you will not be able to land safely...... What are you doing! Get up! ”
I saw that he was determined to stop me, so I knelt before him and looked at the young soldier with pleading eyes: "My wife is inside, I really must go in, let me in, please." ”
The young soldiers couldn't bear it, so they went back to their tents to discuss with their superiors, and finally they let them go after I promised to take the consequences myself.
Due to the unclear ground conditions, the helicopter could not land, so I had to make a blind landing along the suspension ladder by myself.
Luckily, there were no aftershocks, and I was lucky enough to land in a relatively flat clearing.
I stumbled and couldn't stand still, so I hurried to check the nearest pile of gravel.
There is a new planting base of Anyang Group in this mountainous area, and Lu Ying came to inspect it as a manager, but unfortunately suffered an earthquake.
I filmed the situation on the ground and passed it on to the rescuers outside, and soon the official rescue team arrived at the scene.
After a day and a night of hard work, my hands were rubbed into a bloody blur by the sand, and the blood and dirt solidified in my nails, but I still tirelessly turned the boulder one by one.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, amid cheers, an axe cleaved through the eternal darkness.
"Found it! Han Shao found the people of the group! ”
I knelt on top of the ruins and mechanically turned my neck to look in that direction.
The rescued employee was a female employee who seemed to be well hidden, and did not suffer any harm other than dirt and embarrassment all over her body.
Therefore, when the assistant asked her if she had seen Lu Ying, she could still answer loudly: "Mr. Lu? Is she coming? No, I wasn't notified. ”
Lu Ying returned home on July 6, the third day after the earthquake.
As soon as she saw me, her brow furrowed, "Why didn't you prepare the meal?" ”
She walked towards me as she spoke, but suddenly stopped again, and stood a step away from me, her brow furrowed even tighter: "Have you been drinking?" ”
I casually untied my tie, looked at her nonchalantly, and replied lightly, "Hmm." ”
She immediately showed an expression of disbelief, as if she had seen something incredible.
Lu Ying has always been a very enterprising woman, and the focus of my life has always been my lover.
When she said half-coquettishly, half-complaining, that she didn't want to drink sobering soup when she came home for entertainment, and asked me to resign and take care of her wholeheartedly at home, I almost didn't hesitate and immediately agreed.
At that time, my career was also on the rise, and the future was promising.
I did take good care of her over the years.
No matter how late she came home, there was always a light left for her at home, and there was always her supper in the kitchen.
I willingly stepped back into the background and let her shine in my care, just because I loved her.
She drank the sobering soup I made countless times, coquettishly in my arms, and said, it's good to have me, and when she has money, she will definitely "marry" me.
However, when she finally rose to the so-called upper echelons, she did not fulfill her promise, but took another man to the island for a vacation.
Then, I don't want to put her first in everything anymore and wash my hands and make soup for her.
My nonchalant attitude immediately angered her, and her eyes showed displeasure, and she was very angry and stretched out her sharp fingers to poke at my shoulder and pushed, "What kind of attitude are you?" What's crazy? Isn't it just a day late for a business trip? ”
I didn't stand still for a moment, she pushed me back, and the sharp pain in my ankle made my anger surge.
I slapped her hand away and looked her in the eye with a mockery in his eyes: "Is it because the foreign signal is not good, so I haven't seen the news at home?" ”
Lu Ying's eyes flickered, and her voice softened: "I didn't mean not to reply to your message, but my mobile phone fell into the water and broke, so I asked my assistant to buy a new mobile phone and replace the card today." ”
I had enough of her lies, and my patience ran out, so I simply singled out everything: "On July 1st, there was a magnitude 7 earthquake in Nancheng. ”
In just one sentence, the meaning is self-evident.
Lu Ying's face suddenly became very ugly, and she came over and pulled my arm with some weakness, trying to fool me in a coquettish tone: "Okay, it's me who is wrong, it's because the partner has a temporary ......."
Another lie.
I don't even dare to think about how many such lies I've heard over the years.
I withdrew my hand and patted the place she had touched as if it were dirty, and sneered, both contemptuous and self-deprecating.
I had a whole roll of gauze wrapped around my ankle so that I could see it clearly even if I was nearsighted, but she hadn't noticed it when she came back.
I felt more and more stupid about my actions.
"Let's break up." I said this lightly.
Lu Ying was stunned, obviously not expecting that I, who had always been obedient to her, would take the initiative to break up.
"Han Tejie, don't regret it!" After Lu Ying said this, she slammed the door and left.
After a long while, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, as if expressing some kind of dissatisfaction.
It seems that she is still waiting for me to chase me out as soon as possible.
It's a pity that she miscalculated, and I didn't move my steps from beginning to end.
After the breakup, I no longer need to take care of Lu Ying's daily life, and it is naturally time to return to the workplace.
I called the HR department, and it didn't take much effort to get the onboarding procedures.
Put on a well-fitting suit, tie, hair with a hair mask, and finally, choose a watch from a drawer and put it on.
When I appeared at the company like this, as in the past, I attracted the attention of many young female colleagues.
Unlike in the past, I gave each of them a gentle smile this time, which made them feel like a spring breeze.
While waiting for the elevator, the young female colleague next to me seemed to have the courage to start talking to me: "Are you a new senior leader?" ”
I took my badge out of the inner pocket of my suit and shook it in front of her, "No, I'm just an ordinary employee." ”
Her eyes widened in surprise, looking incredulous.
Suddenly, she noticed something, her eyes flickered, she approached me and whispered: "You are so handsome, it's a pity to be an ordinary employee, do you want to be promoted?" ”
I raised my eyebrows suspiciously, and she motioned for me to look to the side, "Look over there, that new intern doesn't know anything, and leaves a mess for us to clean up every time, but Mr. Lu just prefers her, it's really annoying." ”
"Handsome guy, if you are interested in being promoted, our whole group will support you."
I followed her line of sight and saw ...... Lu Ying and Zhuang Teng, a young man on the news.
They were talking and laughing over, and Lu Ying was still holding the man's blazer in her hand, obviously not having an ordinary relationship.
I suddenly remembered when we joined the company together five years ago.
At that time, we were in love, and I was always reluctant to part with her, but I secretly took her hand in the crowded elevator and was thrown away by her.
When I got home, she blamed me for a long time, and although I have forgotten what she said, it was to the effect that the company was the most taboo office romance, and she didn't want to ruin her hard-earned opportunity because of me.
From then on, until I left my job, I was careful to distance myself from her.
It turns out that she can be intimate with others without any scruples, but that person is not me.
Maybe it was because I had been watching it for too long, Lu Ying noticed my gaze, and when she saw me, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and her tone was surprised: "Han Tejie? Why are you here? ”
"Go to work."
I withdrew my gaze and replied lightly.
Lu Ying frowned, obviously dissatisfied with my attitude, she was about to say something, the elevator happened to arrive, and I walked into the ordinary elevator without looking back.
"Sister Lu Ying, can you help me see this plan?"
In a place where I couldn't see, a clear male voice was urging, as if she was afraid that she would follow the elevator for me. There was a lot of work in the morning, and even Lu Ying, as the general manager, was too busy to come to me.
Until noon, Zhuang Teng suddenly appeared.
He stood in front of me and smiled harmlessly, but that smile was a little defiant no matter how you looked at it.
"Brother Han, Sister Lu Ying said that you are not used to the ordinary staff restaurant, so I asked you to eat together."
I was thinking about how to decline a colleague's invitation to dinner, but I finally agreed.
It just so happens that I can make it clear to them.
Walking to the third floor of the canteen with Zhuang Teng, he introduced me as he walked, with a hint of arrogance in his eyes: "Although the canteen of Anyang Group is very famous, it is a public meal after all, and it is not as exclusive as the high-rise on the third floor, and there are Michelin chefs making it on site." ”
I didn't respond, just took the steak the chef handed me, walked to the window and found a seat to sit down.
Anyway, some people will come to the door on their own like a cat that smells fishy.
Sure enough, not long after, Lu Ying and Zhuang Teng sat opposite me together.
Zhuang Teng naturally peeled a few shrimp on Lu Ying's plate, and then said in a joking tone as if he suddenly remembered: "Ah, I'm used to helping Sister Lu Ying peel shrimp, Brother Han won't mind, hahaha." ”
"Men, no matter where they are, they should take care of women."
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere suddenly froze for a moment.
They were all watching my reaction.
My steak was almost finished, and the two people opposite me made me lose interest in continuing to eat, I put down the dinner knife, slowly raised my eyelids, and happened to meet Lu Ying's expectant eyes.
Like ...... What to expect.
I didn't want to delve into what it was, so I said to them coldly, "It's right for a boyfriend to take care of a girlfriend, and I wish you two a long time." ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two people on the other side changed, and Lu Ying's smile disappeared.
A trace of joy flashed in Zhuang Teng's eyes, but he still pretended to be casual and said, "Did Brother Han misunderstand something?" Don't think about it, because I just graduated and don't know anything, so I ......"
I've only seen green tea, but I didn't expect to see Green Arrow one day!
I interrupted his Green Arrow remarks impatiently, and my eyes were cold: "It doesn't matter if there is a misunderstanding, the important thing is that I have broken up with your good sister, so you can be with her openly and without letting the people in the company suspect it." ”
With that, I stood up and left the table.
Just two steps away, he was grabbed by a force from behind his arm.
Lu Ying's eyes were full of common anger, but she knew that this was the company, so she could only lower her voice: "Han Tejie, if you are angry because I deceived you, then I can apologize to you." ”
"But I told you, there was a problem on the partner's side, and Zhuang Teng couldn't handle it alone, so I went over to help him."
The little fun that came from her rare initiative to bow her head finally disappeared when I heard this, and I pulled out my arm and stared at her for a few seconds.
Light poured down from the floor-to-ceiling windows behind her, and when you looked closely, countless tiny specimens of dust flew and swirled in the light, as if they would never fall.
It occurred to me that when I was in the earthquake zone a few days ago, everyone was stopping me and telling me to leave.
I thought about where Lu Ying might be waiting for me to save her and refused to leave no matter what, it was actually very painful for my hands to be worn out and blood mixed with sand, but I didn't feel it at all, I just wanted to find her quickly.
Finally, when I don't know how long it took, an aftershock erupted and a boulder near me collapsed, and although I dodged in time, I rolled down from the ruins because of a foot in the air.
At the same time, the assistant in the tent shouted at me with his mobile phone, I found it, I found it, don't worry, Mr. Lu is doing well abroad.
When the boulder fell, it raised a cloud of dust, and when it hovered for a long time and landed, it seemed that my love for her also fell to the ground.
"Don't make trouble, do you know that Zhuang Teng is ......?"
Lu Ying suddenly lowered her voice, but I directly withdrew my hand, "I'm not angry because you lied to me. ”
"I'm just, simple, and don't love you anymore."
After that day, I completely disappeared from Lu Ying's life.
It's just that she seems to be competing with me.
Countless tasks that came to Mr. Lu's office were distributed to me, and if I did well, I would let Zhuang Teng take credit, and if I didn't do well, I would let the leaders criticize me in public.
After a long time, my colleague also found something wrong, and came to ask me if I had something to do with them.
In the face of everyone's puzzled eyes, I smiled generously, and did not hide it at all: "Lu Ying and I used to be a couple, but now we have broken up." ”
Everyone exchanged glances, revealing the expression of eating a big melon.
But what I didn't expect was that just because of my casual words, Lu Ying, who hadn't shown up for a long time, came to me in person.
She called me to her office, and before I could react, a pile of papers fell over my face.
The sharp edge of the paper slashed across the side of my cheek, cutting a scar and beading blood.
"Han Tejie! As for the rumors in the company in order to take revenge on me, what kind of little white face did Zhuang Teng seduce me? ”
"That day was so righteous, why did Ling Ran turn around and use all his means?"
I wiped the blood with my fingertips, barely suppressing my anger: "First, I didn't spread rumors, and secondly, he didn't he? ”
"Oh, he doesn't have to be, maybe it's you Lu Ying who provoked first?"
Lu Ying was silent, looking at me coldly from a desk distance.
I tugged at the corners of my mouth, and suddenly felt a little sarcasm.
Me and her, it always seems like this.
Obviously, when you sleep in the same bed, you can be intimate, but in your heart, you are always separated by this not far distance.
"Go and apologize to Zhuang Teng, otherwise, I can't guarantee that the project that your whole group has been up for a week can still be saved."
For a moment, I felt that she was a strange stranger.
A long time ago, someone once told me that people who have the ambition to climb up from the bottom are often terrible.
They are truly apathetic, selfish, and capable of doing anything to achieve their goals.
Now, I've seen it.
The anger that had been suppressed finally broke out, and I glared at her and gritted my teeth: "Lu Ying, you can try it." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Lu Ying's voice still sounded behind her.
"I remember you know people very well? That's why it's so easy to recruit you? Even if the HR manager has some relationship with the boss, I don't think she will stand out for you, right? ”
"You can try to see if she'll stand out for you, for your group."
I paused, frozen in place.
Lu Ying thought that it was her own threat that made me jealous, smiled lightly, walked behind me, slender fingers slid all the way from my back muscles to my waist, the graceful body was close to my back, and the tone of anger was very ambiguous: "Ah Xu, don't make trouble, okay, we can get married immediately, I am actually ready to marry you a long time ago, I really don't want to part with you." ”
"Do you know that Zhuang Teng is the son of the boss, and I still need his help so that I can go to the next level."
"The whole company knows that there is an intention to parachute a president above, I have worked hard for so long, why should I give it to others?"
"As long as you go and apologize to him, we will get married."
I turned around and looked down at her with ease in her eyes, and my disgust for her deepened, "Do you think I should be grateful to Dade for taking this green hat?" ”
"Get out."
The day after Lu Ying completely tore his face, Zhuang Teng also came to me.
The tacit understanding makes me sigh that I can't sleep two people in a bed.
In the afternoon, I went downstairs to the company to buy coffee, "After the earthquake, my girlfriend and intern were on the news, and after waiting, Zhuang Teng came.
"Brother Han."
I glanced at him faintly, but didn't speak.
Zhuang Teng seemed to be unaware of the recent embarrassment before, and said to himself: "Actually, I have long known that Sister Lu Ying has a boyfriend who has been talking about for many years. ”
"I also persuaded myself that I should forget it."
"But fate favored me very much, Sister Lu Ying read my resume and found that I was from the same school as her, so she took the initiative to take more care of me."
I looked at the sky outside the glass window of the café and patiently listened to him finish talking nonsense.
He took a deep breath, then turned to face me, "I've liked Sister Lu Ying for a long time, and I've been liking it since she didn't know me yet. ”
"So I'm not going to give up."
I finally turned my head sideways and looked at him with an eyebrow.
I never seem to have let him give up, did I?
I also admire that he can say that he is a third party so high-sounding.
He continued: "Lu Ying is a very capable and ambitious woman, and it just so happens that I can help her achieve her dreams. ”
"If you know each other, you should leave on your own."
I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it turned out to be a warning to me.
Even the rumors of the company were instigated by him, just to pretend to be pitiful in front of Lu Ying, so as to intensify the conflict between me and her.
Then he "demonstrated" and "threatened" me in front of me and asked me to leave on my own initiative.
When my coffee was ready, I took the bag handed to me by the front desk lady and whispered thank you.
Zhuang Teng was dissatisfied with my neglect and was a little annoyed: "Han Tejie! ”
Only then did I set my eyes on him, smiled, and laughed at his uncontrollable breath: "It's no problem to leave Lu Ying, as for leaving Anyang, let me be notified of the personnel, if you have the final say." ”
At the end of last year, the company formulated the next key direction tasks, including the planting base in the previous mountainous area.
As the general manager, Lu Ying personally went on a business trip to check, also in order to be better promoted in the future.
However, after there were rumors that a president was going to be parachuted, she did not hesitate to choose Zhuang Teng between work and Zhuang Teng.
She was sure that with Zhuang Teng's help, she would definitely be able to change her mind.
Over the course of the next week, she did all the things that she had resisted that were too intimate.
Including but not limited to, taking the same car with Zhuang Teng every day, allowing Zhuang Teng to use the high-rise special elevator at will, and personally go to the company downstairs to buy him a cup of coffee in front of everyone.
Her near-high-profile ostentations continued until the end of the month.
The company's official notice has come down, and at the beginning of next month, the new president will be introduced.
On Monday's day of work, Zhuang Teng cast a smug look at me as soon as he stepped into the company's door.
When I was waiting for the elevator, he said to me proudly: "I asked you to go before to give you some face, but after today, I think the president always has the power to fire you." ”
I smiled and said nothing.
The president does have the power to directly command personnel, but it's just that I'm not the one who leaves.
Before going to work, the colleagues in the office chatted with each other, roughly guessing whether there would be any new actions after Lu Ying took the position, and they all envied the direct department she had brought before.
Speaking of which, a pair of eyes swirled back and forth between me and Zhuang Teng as if they could speak.
As if to say, I don't know which one Lu Ying will choose for the new love and old love.
It wasn't until after the morning meeting that the board belatedly showed up in the office.
The high-level officials, including Lu Ying, followed behind him, forming a half-arc around him.
The chairman's gaze scanned around the office, stopped somewhere for a few seconds, and then spoke: "Today, I'm here to announce something to everyone." ”
Everyone was not surprised, but waited quietly for him to announce the results.
I put down what I was doing, looked up at him, and my eyes just swept over Zhuang Teng and Lu Ying, and there was a faint smile on the corner of their mouths, as if they already knew the answer, and they were very calm.
"I'm sure you've heard about it." The chairman said in a gentle voice, glanced at a few people around him, and continued with a smile: "Anyang, there will be a young president. ”
"He joined the company as soon as he graduated, he didn't rely on any relationship, just an ordinary employee, and he completed several projects in the early days, but he completed them very well, and he is a young man with great talent and ideas."
"I believe that under his leadership, Anyang will go higher and further."
The smile on the corner of Lu Ying's mouth was about to be uncontrollable, her eyes were looking at the chairman eagerly, and the hands hanging by her side were already ready to move, and she was about to go up and hold the chairman's hands sincerely.
The chairman didn't look at him, his eyes fell on me through the crowd, and his smile was still gentle, but when he spoke again, there was some pride in his tone: "Let me introduce you, Han Tejie, my son." ”
"I'm getting older. In the future, Tejie is destined to take over my class. ”
"While I am now, I can still keep an eye on it myself for a few years, and I will completely let him lead us in Anyang in the future."
I stood up, walked calmly to him, and whispered, "Dad." ”
From a very young age, I knew that my dad was cheating and had a son outside.
My mother was a person who attached great importance to feelings, and she couldn't stand such a blow, so she couldn't afford to get sick and finally passed away.
Until the end, she still took my dad's hand and forced him to swear that he would take good care of me.
So for many years afterward, I resented him and he felt guilty about me.
For so many years, I refused to call "Dad", but because of Lu Ying, I called out.
The air was dead silent, and everyone was surprised, but there were two sounds that broke the defense in particular.
I followed the sound to see that Zhuang Teng suddenly got up because he was too surprised and turned over the water cup on the table, and he was busy wiping the water stains on the table, embarrassed.
I was suddenly a little curious about Lu Ying's expression.
She once said to me, "If we come from a small place like ours, if we don't fight, we really don't have anything." ”
She really lives this sentence by herself.
I just don't know if she's satisfied with such a result.
I glanced at her, and she was staring at me as well.
Everyone was applauding, but she was the only one with a pale face, deep eyes, and a lot of emotions, but people couldn't understand it. I don't understand it, and I don't want to understand it.
Although I was promoted, I plan to finish my work before moving to the office.
The team members were very excited because they had become the president's "descendants" and were full of enthusiasm to accompany me to work overtime until nightfall.
After dinner, the group members dispersed, and when asked, they all found out that they all lived not far from the restaurant.
I looked at the keys in my bag, and I was in a bit of a quandary, I couldn't drive after drinking, and the subway in a busy area didn't empty until late at night.
"Boss! Shall I drive you? I can drive. ”
I looked sideways, and it was the girl who asked me at the elevator door that day if I wanted to be "on top", and she was the only one who hadn't drunk today.
I really didn't want to crowd the subway, so I got in her car.
Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the community.
I got out of the car and thanked the girl, promising to invite her to coffee tomorrow, and the girl laughed and quipped, "Not enough gas." ”
After saying thank you, the moment he turned around, he met his eyes with Lu Ying on the other side of the road.
She stood under the street lamp, casting a long shadow on the ground, looking a little lonely.
I didn't squint, and I passed by her, only to be grabbed by the wrist.
I was finally willing to give her a look, and anger appeared on Lu Ying's beautiful and delicate face, and she looked directly at me: "Who is she?" Why did you ride in her car? What is your relationship? ”
He lowered his head and lit a cigarette, spit the smoke ring on her face with some malice, and pulled away a cold smile, "Does it have anything to do with you?" ”
Through the smoke that swirled through the drifting smoke, I saw the wounds flashing across her face.
Lu Ying inhaled the smoke and coughed uncomfortably, even the corners of her eyes were watery, and she looked even more pitiful: "Ah Xu, do you really hate me so much, have you forgotten our five years?" ”
"If you're still angry that I lied to you, can you beat me? You can beat me and scold me for anything, as long as you forgive me. ”
"As for Zhuang Teng, he also mentioned you during the interview, I took more care of him because he was a junior, I promise, I will never meet him in the future, okay?"
She still doesn't understand what really hurts my heart.
What really broke my heart was not Zhuang Teng, nor was it deception, it was that I finally realized -
She doesn't love me, she doesn't love Zhuang Teng, she loves herself.
What she is shedding in front of me now is nothing more than crocodile tears, and she is extremely hypocritical.
She didn't choose me between me and Zhuang Teng, but between everyone, she chose a shortcut to fly high in life.
There was no need to explain it to her.
The night wind blew away the smoke rings, and my gaze was as cold as water: "Yes, I forgot." ”
The next step was to take over the affairs of the study company in earnest, and I gradually found a sense of high spirits in the workplace.
On this day, I went on a business trip to a coastal city in the south.
After getting off the plane, I got on the company to pick up my car.
But instead of heading into the city to my hotel, the car took me to some part of the coast, where a yacht was docked.
The driver dropped me off and drove away.
I stood on the shore, looking at the luxurious yacht, knowing in my heart that it was a well-arranged welcome. The sea breeze with a salty smell blows on the hem of my clothes. I took a deep breath, adjusted my tie, and walked towards the yacht.
On the yacht, there were already several important people of the company waiting, and they all showed warm smiles when they saw my arrival. I know that this is a new beginning, a stage where I will show my full abilities.
In the days that followed, I threw myself into my work, not only completing the project at hand, but also coming up with several innovative proposals, which were approved by the board of directors. I gradually established my authority within the company and earned the respect of my colleagues.
At the same time, I continued to learn privately to improve my management skills and business acumen. I knew that as the leader of the company, I needed to keep improving in order to lead the company to a brighter future.
As for Lu Ying, her figure gradually faded out of my world. I understand that everyone's life path is their own choice, and her choice has nothing to do with me. I have focused all my energy on my career, and I believe that as long as I stick to my beliefs and continue to work hard, I will be able to create my own brilliance.
Life is always full of uncertainties, but as long as we firmly follow our own path, we will definitely be able to reach the other side of our hearts. And I, on the other hand, am walking on such a path, fearless and courageous.
After returning to the company, Lu Ying disappeared, but Zhuang Teng came to me.
With anger and frustration, he almost gritted his teeth and said to me, "You won." ”
"Whether it's the company or Lu Ying, you have won."
"It's not fair, why is it that the same father's son, he quietly gave everything to you, and pretended to be high, five years ago he said that he was not interested in the company, but now he is back to fight."
I stirred the coffee, but I felt a little ridiculous in my heart.
There are those who take away what others have, but who claim to be victims.
I lazily raised my eyelids and looked at him like a clown: "I really don't want to pay attention to you, but you're so stupid that it makes people laugh." ”
"Anyang was founded with the help of my mother, and you, like your mother, have a strong possessiveness of other people's things, don't you?"
"As for Lu Ying, I would be very grateful if you could help me take away the garbage when you left."
Zhuang Teng was so angry with my words that his face turned red, but he couldn't refute a word.
The long silence almost made him forget that he was actually an illegitimate child, he had always thought very highly of himself, thinking that he was the young master of the Anyang Group, but because he picked up the identity that others disdained.
The debunked lie is like a skin that has been peeled off, bloodily exposed, and one glance makes one want to escape.
One problem was solved, and another appeared.
As for Lu Ying, I sent her a dismissal letter directly.
This made her come to me angrily and ask me, "Are you going to fire me?" ”
I didn't even raise my head, continued to look at the documents in my hand, and asked her, "Do you still want to continue working in Anyang?" ”
She was silent.
We both knew that even if I didn't do anything, she wouldn't be able to stay in Anyang any longer.
As if she had been pricked by a needle, she suddenly deflated and looked at me a little tiredly, "Do you remember the first day you entered Anyang?" I was so happy that day that I thought that from then on, we would get better and better. ”
I remember.
That day, she received an offer from Anyang, and unlike the high-spirited spirit she had when she led any activity at school, she was placed in the most inconspicuous corner.
But her eyes still sparkled, and she bought a cake, put a candle in it, and made a wish.
She said that she hopes to get better and better, to be able to move from the cubicle to the office, and to have a home with me.
Later, her career began to get on the right track, socializing later and later, and her salary became higher and higher.
"How did this happen?"
Hearing the slight choking in her voice, I finally raised my head, my eyes fell on the fragility of her face, but there was no fluctuation in my heart, I put down the pen in my hand and said seriously: "Actually, you are not qualified to enter Anyang." ”
Yes, she didn't pass the second round of interviews and went home crying.
I see it in my eyes, and it hurts in my heart.
I dug out my dad's phone that day and asked him.
I rarely spoke, and naturally he would not refuse.
What's more, the chairman personally recruited the people, and the leaders took special care of Lu Ying, which is also the reason why she had a smooth journey, and she became the youngest senior executive of the company in just five years.
It's a pity that my love only nourished her ambition and didn't blossom.
I looked at her slightly pale face, smiled politely and distantly, and then lowered my head again: "You can write my phone number when you do a background check for a new job." ”
It wasn't until I heard her footsteps fading away that I looked up again.
Looking at the back that was already a little unfamiliar, unconsciously, the eyes became a little blurry.
I did once love her.
But it was only a brief moment, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Later, I heard about her as well.
She managed to join another good company in the industry, but the circle was too small, and there were so many people who had witnessed the farce that it was easy to spread the word.
Even though a long time has passed, there are still people who talk about it as a joke after dinner.
Now I, no one dares to mention these things in front of me, and as for Lu Ying, she is not so comfortable.
But so what, the discomfort has to be endured one by one.
I met her later at a dinner party.
I sat on the high main seat, and she sat at a distance from me.
Her boss brought her up for a toast in order to talk to me.
I was stunned for a moment, her eyes reddening slightly.
I smiled comfortingly, I wasn't going to embarrass her on such an occasion.
She breathed a sigh of relief almost imperceptibly, and she raised her glass to drink, and I watched in silence as she looked up at the pained expression on her face as she looked up and drank.
I accepted her wine, but that was all.
Of course, I knew that she had suffered from stomach problems because of her long-term socializing, and she was very uncomfortable.
But so what, I won't block the wine for her, I won't cook sobering soup for her, and I won't feel sorry for her struggles in the workplace and open the back door for her.
This is the path she chooses for herself, and whether it is flowers or thorns on the road has nothing to do with me.
