What do you want in life

Chapter 24 Can the Oath of the Past Become Forever (3)
Under the lights of the parking lot, one can clearly see that his tense face has no expression on his face, but he is holding the drunken woman tightly in his arms, as if he is afraid that she will fall suddenly.

The woman in his arms didn't appreciate it, and turned around to argue with him, "Which law stipulates that I can't go clubbing? I haven't married you yet, and you are dictating me! You can get it yourself Where are you going? What time did I call you, you, look at what time it is now..."

Her voice was high-pitched and shrill, not at all drunk.Shen Juncheng let her speak, pursed his lips and stopped talking. When he got to the side of the car, he pulled the door of the rear seat hard, and pushed his girlfriend in.

Guo Jia was stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and murmured, "Unexpectedly, Mr. Shen already has a girlfriend! But why doesn't it look so good?"

Xiaoying sniffed to cover up the strangeness on her face, and said nothing.

Shen Juncheng's car started quickly, made a circle, passed in front of the two of them, and immediately slid into the street paved with yellow lights.

"Hi!" Guo Jia suddenly brought her face closer to Xiaoying, "You don't feel particularly disappointed, do you?"

"What nonsense!" Xiaoying laughed.

"Nowadays, the 'Little San' can be described as a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats me, so I don't suggest you go for it!"

"Thank you for your kindness!"

At this moment, a taxi finally slid up in front of them and stopped. Brother lowered the window glass, stuck out half of his head and yelled at them, "Will you go?"

"Let's go! Let's go!" Guo Jia hurriedly agreed, dragged Xiaoying to get into the car.

The top floor of Nanxiang’s administrative building is an open-air golf course. It was written by the former president Mr. Zheng. When he first came to Nanxiang, he climbed up and looked far away. Design, simple addition of appliances, become a golf course, after work, you can also exercise your body.

Although the idea is good, there are many deviations in implementation. First, Nanxiang’s work rhythm is extremely high. Not to mention ordinary employees, even Mr. Zheng himself is on the production line all day long, so there is no time to take care of exercise; second, the company The concept of hierarchy in the factory has not been weakened since the establishment of the factory. How can the boss's stadium and idlers go there casually? What's more, it always feels out of place to play during working hours, and Nanxiang's management can only sleep. , seeming to be working and overtime forever.As a result, the golf course with brand-new facilities was gradually forgotten, spreading lonely on the top floor, despite the wind and rain.

Xiaoying climbed up the stairs and stopped on the platform at the top of the stairs. Two steps away, there was a golf course covered with green carpets. Shen Juncheng stood by the fence in a corner of the course, with his hands on the railing, and looked away from her. Overlook.

Even in such a frigid winter, he wore very little, and his well-knit suit looked thinner under the yellow winter sun, but from Xiaoying's eyes, there was an indescribable sternness and aura. strangeness.

Early in the morning, she inexplicably received an internal call from Shen Juncheng, saying that she wanted to talk to her about something, and the meeting place was also arranged by him.

On the phone, Xiaoying didn't ask anything, and it was useless to ask. She didn't want to deliberately avoid Shen Juncheng, and he should be the same.

She approached him slowly, "Boss Shen, are you looking for me?"

When Shen Juncheng turned around, Xiaoying was a little surprised to find that he was smoking. The smoke he exhaled was stirred by the cold wind, and it disappeared in an instant.

His face has long since lost the feigned deepness and excitement that he showed when he smoked secretly many years ago. On the contrary, his expression is so solemn that he doesn't even notice that he is smoking.

Xiaoying's eyes flickered a few times, and then she swung away from his face like a dragonfly. She stopped two feet away from him, raised her right arm lightly, and stroked her wind-blown hair.

Shen Juncheng nodded to her, "How do you feel in the warehouse?"

It seems that this is not the first time he has asked. Xiaoying thought about it for a while, and then asked back directly, "Do...do you have any ideas?"

Shen Juncheng leaned his elbows on the railing, snatched the cigarette from his mouth, hissed lightly, and muttered, "Did Jiang Fang feel sorry for you?"

Xiaoying didn't know why he would ask such a question, it was really hard for her to answer, she thought for a while and said: "He is my boss, I don't know how to define the word 'embarrassed'. Anyway, I will follow what he says That's it."

Shen Juncheng turned his face and stared at her, "But Guo Jia told me that he has ulterior motives for you—is it true?"

Xiaoying's heart skipped a beat when she heard the words, and she looked at Shen Juncheng, unable to tell what the exact meaning of the look in his eyes was.

"Guo Jia?" She murmured, "Has she ever looked for you?"

"Yesterday evening, I happened to meet her, and we chatted for a while." Shen Juncheng straightened up, the complicated expression on his face was fleeting, "She said that Jiang Fang had been messing around since he returned to the warehouse, and he seemed to be treating you ..."

Xiaoying bit her lower lip, annoyed that Guo Jia was troublesome, how could she talk nonsense about things that had no shadow?
"I've thought about it. I can change positions for you. The logistics department has recently left someone. You have worked in the warehouse for two years. It shouldn't be a problem to connect with the logistics department..."

After a moment of astonishment, Xiaoying interrupted him, "Then, in what name should I go there?"

"Changing of the guard."

"Mr. Shen, I..." The incident happened so suddenly that Xiaoying couldn't adapt to it.

"Aren't you unwilling?" Shen Juncheng stared at her and asked.

In fact, about ten people are vying to apply for this newly vacated position in the logistics department.After Guo Jia saw the recruitment information, he was eager to try it out, but after seeing the requirements listed below, he was discouraged, and pushed Xiaoying by the way, "It seems that neither of us has a chance."

"Do you think," Xiaoying smiled hastily, "is it appropriate to do this?"

"It's nothing inappropriate." Shen Juncheng took another puff of cigarette, "Although the conditions written by the HR Department are a bit high, the work itself is not complicated, so you don't have to worry."

"What I mean is," Xiaoying felt that he was obviously avoiding the most critical question, "Is it appropriate for me to hire directly without going through the selection process?"

Shen Juncheng looked at her with a calm and indifferent look in his eyes, "I will make arrangements and no one will make irresponsible remarks."

Xiaoying shook her head with a smile, he really still regards her as a friend, and being his friend really benefits a lot, but, even if people don't say anything in front of her, wouldn't they discuss it behind her back?Are those who help him operate must be stable and reliable?In this company, maybe everything is missing, except gossip.

"Instead of changing my guard, it's better to replace Manager Jiang." She joked helplessly.

However, Shen Juncheng didn't take her words as a joke, and thought about it seriously, "A person like him is not suitable to be placed anywhere, one day..." He didn't continue, and tightly clenched his hand holding the railing. .

"Guo Jia is straightforward, and he often likes to fight against injustice." Xiaoying imitated him, looking at the vast sky beyond the railing, and said slowly, "However, Manager Jiang has not done anything extraordinary so far... I It means, heck, for me. Besides, with my qualifications, I just rushed to the new position, not to mention that I am not very comfortable with it, and the colleagues around me will not feel comfortable. So, let’s follow the rules ...Don't make it difficult for you because of me."

The wind blew her long hair, revealing her white and soft neck. Shen Juncheng looked at her side face, speechless for a moment. He had already expected this result. She never accepted other people's kind support. He and she were so close and so in the past, let alone now.

The cigarette butts turned into ashes in his fingers, he extinguished the last bit of light, and threw it under his feet, "If this is the case, just pretend I didn't say it."

Xiaoying smiled in relief, and turned her head to look at him, "Mr. Shen, I still want to thank you for thinking about me."

Shen Juncheng shook his head and smiled helplessly.

The conversation came to an end.

Reason told Xiaoying that she shouldn't spend more time with him. She had been brewing for a while, and just about to say goodbye, Shen Juncheng suddenly asked, "Did you go to the bar that day?"

Xiaoying was taken aback for a moment, and then came back to her senses. It turned out that she and Guo Jia were standing on the side of the road waiting for the bus that night, but he still saw him, and immediately admitted with a smile: "Yes! What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet your girlfriend .”

Shen Juncheng glanced at her, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You should have seen her before...Huang Yiyun."

"...Really?" Xiaoying forced a smile, "I seem to have a little impression when you say that."

In fact, she recognized Huang Yiyun the moment she saw him. Some people, no matter how long it takes, cannot be erased from her memory.She still remembers the surprise and shock in her heart the moment they met each other in the bar.

Shen Juncheng gazed at the roof of the house in the distance, and murmured an explanation as if endorsing, "She and I went to the same university, and later we went abroad to study together... My mother likes her very much."

Xiaoying listened silently, unable to comment.

However, Shen Juncheng took her silence as another meaning, laughed at himself and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Do you think I'm worthless?"

Xiaoying shook her head, "Everyone's path has been set long ago, and no one can do whatever they want, what's more," she paused, "Maybe if you insist on taking the path you like, you may regret it in the future. "

"I think I'm already very pessimistic, but I didn't expect you to be even more pessimistic than me." Shen Juncheng snorted, looked at her and said.

"There's nothing wrong with being pessimistic. At least, it can make people take the path they should take in a down-to-earth way." Xiaoying replied.

Shen Juncheng only felt that there were mysteries hidden everywhere in her words, which sounded very fateful at first glance, but it made sense when he thought about it carefully, just like their previous relationship, the pain was unbearable at the time, didn't they still stumble out, and now they meet again Both of them are intact.

He lowered his head to smile, and when he raised his head again, the melancholy on his face was swept away, as if someone had grabbed him back from the tunnel of time and space.

They were no longer the same as they were eight years ago. Even eight years ago, he hadn't been able to give up everything for her. Today, eight years later, it's time to stop.

"I promised that Guo Jia would find a way to help you, but since you don't think it's necessary, you have no choice but to forget it." Shen Juncheng raised the corners of his lips, intending to end this conversation, "You can explain to Guo Jia when you go back, lest she think I'm It's perfunctory her."

Under the attention of his eyes with a little humor and a trace of worry that is hard to detect, Xiaoying nodded, "I will make it clear to her."

"Your friend is quite interesting," Shen Juncheng said suddenly, "She is very righteous to you."

Xiaoying smiled slightly, this time, her expression was full of relief.

When I met Guo Jia again, Xiaoying complained to her, and Guo Jia suddenly felt wronged, "It's not that I went to find him on purpose, it was just a chance encounter after get off work! Besides, he also took the initiative to greet me, as if very friendly How can I let go of such a great opportunity to talk to me about my interest!"

After complaining a few words, Guo Jia became complacent again. She didn't expect Shen Juncheng to take what she said seriously, and really went to talk to Xiaoying.

"Look at what I said, Shen is always a responsible boss!"

"Don't do such stupid things again!" Xiaoying was really worried about her temper, "If Jiang Fang finds out, maybe he will come up with some tricks to torture us."

"Don't worry! Mr. Shen won't let the wind out." Guo Jia disagreed, "I think he is an honest boss."

While saying this, Guo Jia's expression changed slightly, as if he was carefully recalling a certain detail, "When I came out of President Shen's office, Qian Mei from the shipping department happened to pass by, and that woman seemed to be having an affair with Jiang Fang—ah , Forget it, it’s okay to see it, and she doesn’t know why I’m looking for Mr. Shen!”

The matter has come to this point, Xiaoying can't say anything more, but repeated the warning words to Guo Jia several times, which made her keep digging her ears, "I can almost hear my calluses!"

Another uneventful morning.

Tian Bin sat in front of the computer and laboriously studied the data reports, while Xiaoying leaned on a table next to him to proofread a thick stack of requisition lists.A week ago, Guo Jia also started to rotate, and today she is on middle shift.

Jiang Fang entered the warehouse more than an hour later than usual, and his face was gloomy, as if a storm was about to come.

"Manager Jiang!" "Manager Jiang!" Tian Bin and Xiaoying called him one after another, but Jiang Fang turned a deaf ear and walked straight to his executive desk.

The two young men looked at each other, and then went back to work.Jiang Fang often has such an arrogant death appearance, and they are no longer surprised by it.

Xiaoying finished proofreading the picking list, and Tian Bin was only halfway through data entry. Although he was a young man, he was a manual laborer when he first started working, and he was very unfamiliar with computer operations.

Seeing that he was working hard, Xiaoying couldn't help but want to help him, "Do you want me to do it?"

Tian Bin was willing in his heart, but when he thought of Jiang Fang who was sitting not far behind him, he shook his head with a bitter face, and said in a low voice, "Forget it, I'd better do it myself, so as not to be scolded again."

There was nothing to do at the moment, and Jiang Fang was there, so she couldn't do private work, so Xiaoying got up and went to organize on the shelves.

When she came out, she happened to see Li Chen walking into the warehouse, saying hello to Tian Bin, and he came to pick up some tools.

"Li Gong, I haven't seen you here for a long time! Are you busy with the G3 project?" Tian Bin asked him with a smile.

The G3 project is a big project that Shen Juncheng personally presided over after taking office. If successful, it is very likely that two customers who make large-scale communication equipment will be included in the bag.Today, the G3 project has become a hot topic in the company, and everyone is staring at it. This is undoubtedly a strong proof of Shen Juncheng's ability.

Li Zhen promised Tian Bin, but from the corner of his eyes, he had already glanced at Xiaoying who was walking slowly. There was a trace of uncomfortable expression on his face, but he still greeted her with a smile.

Ever since he failed to wait for Xiaoying in the carport that night, Li Zhen suddenly fell silent and stopped appearing frequently in front of Xiaoying.

Xiaoying guessed that he probably misunderstood her doing it on purpose. She really wanted to find an opportunity to explain it clearly to him, but she couldn't find a suitable reason. Besides, what happens after the explanation?Continue to let him have expectations of himself?This is definitely not the result Xiaoying wants.

Since there is such an opportunity for him to take the initiative to stay away from him, he simply made a fake show.So she endured it without explaining or defending, and Li Zhen didn't ask her anything. Just like that, slowly, he naturally alienated Xiaoying.

She has always felt that Li Zhen's self-cultivation is very good. Even in her mind, the two have fallen out, but when he saw her, he would still smile gently and say some greetings kindly, as if he had never Be far away from her.

Every time she saw Li Zhen like this, Xiaoying would only feel more guilty, even though she thought about it carefully, she didn't owe him anything.

Lao Yang came over from the warehouse pushing a cart, on which were stacked a few tools that Li Zhen needed. After signing for the receipt, Li Zhen was about to leave when his cell phone rang.

"Hello Mr. Shen... um... okay, let me remember, the No. 5 small roller, 616 CNC mold..." He quickly wrote on a piece of paper.

After talking on the phone, Li Zhen asked Lao Yang to ask for two more orders, "Mr. Shen just asked me to get a few more sets."

After all the tools were prepared, Lao Yang looked at the heavy cart, "It looks heavy enough, you should be more careful when you push it up and down to the workshop."

Tian Bin volunteered and said, "Let me help Li Gong send it there."

"Alright." Lao Yang nodded in agreement.

"Xiaotian, Mr. Li has someone ready to help, I said, why are you making fun of me?"

Jiang Fang shook his feet on the seat, spoke with a half-smile, and cast his eyes on Xiaoying's face as soon as he turned around, "I'm right, Xiao Han! You must help me with this job! Fat Shui Don't let outsiders go!"

Jiang Fang's nonsense jokes made everyone present feel embarrassed. Xiaoying didn't want to get involved, but Lao Yang smoothed things over, "If you don't want Xiaoying, you can go for a walk. On the way Just look at it a little bit, with Li Gong around, you won’t be tired.”

Xiaoying glanced at Li Zhen, but he didn't say a word, with a kind smile on his face all the time, he straightened several bundles of wires, and he didn't intend to refuse Lao Yang's kindness.

As a result, Xiaoying seemed too coy to decline, so she simply put down the form in her hand, stood up generously and said, "Okay then."

"Hey! That's right!" Jiang Fang yelled happily from behind, God knows what he was happy about.

Xiaoying and Li Zhen leaned on the handlebars of the cart, walking silently towards the workshop.Li Zhen couldn't bear the depressing silence first, and asked, "Are you still in night school recently?"

"Yes!" Xiaoying replied with a smile, "I want to pass the accounting certificate test early, so I may have the opportunity to be a cashier or something."

"Well, you are quiet, and you are quite suitable to be an accountant." Li Zhen nodded in agreement.

Neither of them mentioned the embarrassing incident before.

After chatting a few more words about the G3 project, the door of No. [-] workshop was finally in front of her eyes, and Xiaoying could almost hear a long sigh coming from Li Zhen's mouth and her own heart at the same time.

Xiaoying was in front, first opened the glass door, and then waited sideways for Li Zhen to push the cart in.

No. 3 workshop is the smallest in Nanxiang, and it is also the workshop with the most advanced equipment.At this time, most of the employees involved in the G[-] project gathered in front of a machine to listen to people analyzing something. The one standing among the group of people and speaking was naturally Shen Juncheng. It seemed that he was discussing issues with everyone, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Very good, and sometimes laughter came out.

Someone with sharp eyes first saw Xiaoying helping Li Zhen push a cart of tools in, and immediately shouted: "Aha! I said why Li Zhen is so active today, and asked to go to the warehouse to pick up things! It turns out that it is a fake public benefit!"

Shen Juncheng also looked towards the door when he heard the words, and saw two uncomfortable faces pushing the same car slowly towards this side.

He only glanced briefly, and then quickly turned his gaze back to the machine that was rolling at a constant speed.

However, there are more and more people around Li Zhen and Xiaoying making fun of Li Zhen and Xiaoying. Every time you say something, the more you say, the more presumptuous you are. Li Zhen is not good at defending, and Xiaoying is also thin-skinned. There is no power to resist if you say a few words of resistance indiscriminately.If this matter had been changed by Guo Jia, he would have returned it with a punch and a leg.

Li Zhen took off the small roller that Shen Juncheng was eagerly waiting for from the car, pushed aside the engineer who made fun of him, and walked to Shen Juncheng with an embarrassed expression on his face, "Boss Shen, here it is!"
