Your loneliness is more moving than this world

Chapter 27
Mr. Tang laughed and asked, "What do you think of the tea this time?" I said, "I can't say, it seems to be a bit stronger than last time." She asked the female assistant next to me to add water, and Wang Dandan poured water on it. The iPad (a tablet computer produced by Apple) handed it over and said: "Look, this is the position, salary, and work content that our personnel department just offered to you. I will send you an official email later. What about the position? Not as tall as you are now, just the manager of the marketing department, but we don’t have a director position here, so your work report is the same as mine, the general manager or the president. The salary is similar to your current one, because we have a state-owned enterprise background, so the benefits will be more.” Mr. Tang said: “In the future, the promotion of the three new brands here will be entrusted to you, and Xiao Wang’s department will fully cooperate with your work. After the festival is the peak season for baijiu, so we hope you come over as soon as possible."

The news of my job-hopping to Liangwang spread like wildfire. To ease the embarrassment, I gave Mr. Liu and the new vice-president a gift and told them that I would not be coming back.Mr. Liu saw that I had made up my mind to go, so he didn't insist anymore. He got up and said, "Let me treat you to a meal with everyone. First, it's a farewell; second, it's our gratitude to you and the company over the past two years." Thank you for your contribution.” I said, “No need, Mr. Liu, we will still meet in Beijing in the future.”

The pattering autumn rain began to fall outside the window. I packed up my things and stood in the office hall to say goodbye to everyone. Except for a few accountants who were tortured by numbers, everyone in the company stood up and watched.

Mr. Liu and several department managers held umbrellas and sent me all the way to the gate of the park. The taxi driver was waving in the distance. I was almost moved and turned around and said, "Everyone go back, you have to go to work."

Two days later, the rain stopped, and I received a call from Lao Liu at home. At noon on the second day after I left, a group of people rushed into the company, and then took the elevator into the Dishang restaurant. He beat the director of the e-commerce department and several other members in front of him, and did not stop until the police officers on duty arrived.Old Liu said: "Before Xiao Ma was taken away by the police, he asked me where you and Liu Jing had gone. I said you had resigned. He stood there for a while, got into the police car and left without saying anything." I said: "He's not going to hate that place anymore."

The doorbell rang again and again, and I fell off the sofa and ran to open the door barefoot.Li Da stood at the door with a dark face. I rubbed my eyes and said, "You, come in." She said, "Why didn't you tell me when you resigned? What do you mean?" I said, "Come in and tell me." She said, "Let me ask you, do you consider me a friend? These days you don't reply online or get through on the phone. Do you really think of me as your colleague?" I said, "Oh, what? Colleague? I said you came here early in the morning and didn’t even enter the door, just to ask for guilt?” She said, “I won’t enter your kennel, I came to tell you that I will celebrate my birthday on the second floor of the King Hotel tomorrow night , You didn’t come last year, but this year my father personally arranged for me, you have to come.” I said, “Okay, I will definitely go this time.” She said, “Okay, I’m leaving, you can go to sleep.”

As expected, Li Da's birthday party was turned into a sugar and wine exhibition by her father. There were all kinds of famous cars parked outside the hotel, all kinds of uniformed men stood in the venue on the second floor, and even the bathroom was full of hair gel and the smell of perfume.My old colleagues came and greeted me from a distance. They all had greasy hair and shiny ties, and Lao Liu even brought a female assistant dressed as a wild model.Wang Dandan poked me and said in a low voice, "What did I say? Look at the hoodies you two are wearing, how shabby you are." Dress up."

I pondered over Li Da's gift all night, but I still made a fool of myself.During the on-site unpacking session, the ones in front of me were either famous watches or high-end beauty annual cards. In the end, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the emcee picked up my gift and said loudly, "The last one is amazing...what's his name?" Li Da bowed his head and gave the master of ceremonies a look and said, "Guo Xiaoyu." The master of ceremonies said, "Ah, Guo Xiaoyu, since we can be ranked last, it must be the grand finale. What will it be? Let's wait and see." Li Da tore apart the master of ceremonies The package in his hand struggled to pull out the gift, but because the book was too bulky and loose, it fell to the ground with a snap, and the master of ceremonies blurted out: "Ah, it turned out to be a broken book." The audience roared with laughter, and Li Da was dumbfounded. Standing blankly on the stage, he took the paper that the master of ceremonies stooped to pick up with both hands, his face was as ugly as the fake sculpture at the entrance of the hotel.

I walked up to the stage with a smile, picked up the remaining pages and stuffed them into Li Da's hands, and said to the people in the audience: "It's the book I sent, and the name is "The Great Expo of the Twentieth Century". It's been a while and the binding has come loose. This was my favorite book when my friend and I were in college, it was out of print long ago and couldn't be bought, so a few of us teamed up and stole it from the library , This is the one that was stolen." The audience burst into laughter again, Li Da raised the book and papers in his hand high in front of me, and threw them to the ground again, the people in the audience leaned back and laughed. Be more presumptuous.

Li Xiaogan got anxious, stood up and said: "Why are you laughing? What qualifications do you have to laugh at other people's gifts? This is the self-cultivation of you people?" Dare to say: "Who is talking nonsense, I told you a long time ago not to come to this kind of place, you have to come here to show your eyes, and see if there is a good person here!" Li Da rushed out from behind and said: "Who are you talking about?" Not a good person?" Li Xiaogan said, "What about you? What's wrong with you? It's amazing to be rich, and others have to offer incense to you!"

Wang Dandan hugged Li Xiaogan tightly, and I hugged Li Da tightly, and my old colleagues also joined the team for the first time.Li Da was so angry that he stretched out his hand and slapped me across the face, and shouted: "Guo Xiaoyu, if you want to treat me as your friend, please invite this sissy out of here. I don't welcome such unqualified sluts here !"

Everyone stopped and looked at me in unison.I touched my face, and pulled Li Xiaogan and Wang Dandan to go outside. The crowd hushed and opened a gap. At the end of the gap, Mr. Liu slowly stood up. He said with a sour face, "Xiaoyu..." I smiled at him and continued walking outside.

At the entrance of the corridor, Li Xiaogan shook off my hand, turned around and cursed: "You bastards of the fake foreign school, you idiots—×!"

In the fall of my 30th year, I ended my career in the tertiary industry and became an executive of a well-known wine company.Friends in the past saw the news on the Internet and called to congratulate me one after another. As an old fried dough stick, of course I know that there are not many people who are sincere, and everyone is just complimenting the company behind me.After staying in this industry for a long time, we unconsciously become snobbish. Our sensitivity to "power" and "profit" makes us forget what a true friend should be like.

Xingan Media has become my new company’s promotion partner. Although the past has made everyone a bit complicated emotionally, this is business. Just like Mr. Tang said, business and love are a false relationship that is close to each other. False feelings sometimes hinder the generation of interests, but interests can save true and false feelings in the workplace.It's a lot like throwing a bundle of money at the door, and [-]% of couples will stop arguing immediately. It's not romantic at all, but everyone is happy.

I closed the laptop and put away the documents on the table. Li Xingan said: "Xiao Guo, I will be off work in less than half an hour. Stay here for dinner. I have a dinner later." I said: "No, next time." Let’s catch up with you again. Which office is Da Zi in now?” Li Xing’an said with a smile, “Next to the PR department.”

I approached and knocked on the door, and Li Da said, "Come in." I walked in, closed the door and said, "What are you busy?" She looked up at me, continued typing on the keyboard, and said, "Have you finished talking with my dad?" I said: " Do you have something to do after get off work?" She didn't look up and said, "Why, treat me to dinner?" I said, "Today is Christmas Eve, I want to visit the park where I used to work, and have a meal there by the way." She said: " Okay, just wait, there are hundreds of words at hand."

In the SOHO campus, Li Da folded his arms and said, "It seems that you are very proud of being in Liangwang, you have flesh on your face." I said, "It's okay, it's just a change of position, and what you do is the same as before. A set of jobs." She said, "Didn't you plan it when you made a fuss about my birthday party?" I said, "Wow, you're such a smart girl, how could it be... no, haha." She said: "You guys are really hurtful. I checked the Internet after I got home and found out that the broken book has been sold all the time. You have avenged those old colleagues at the sugar and wine fair back then." I said. Said: "I just wanted to play a joke on you. I didn't expect Li Xiaogan to be so anxious that he didn't use the lines he had rehearsed in advance." Li Da frowned: "You said it takes a lot of hatred to hold back Such a vicious and obscene method?" I said, "Okay, don't be stubborn, haven't I apologized several times for this matter? Besides, you also took revenge, in front of so many people Slap me, I have grown up, no one has ever slapped me except my dad." "What happened to you?" She said, "People like you don't deserve slaps." I said, "By the way, where is the book? , did you throw it away?" She said, "I didn't throw it away, I put it on my bedside bookshelf, I hate you every time I see it."

I was leaning against the counter of the cold drink shop, answering the messages on the phone over and over again, and she put down the list in her hand and said, "You can't mute it. Who is this? Look, you're excited." I put the phone away and said : "Guess who is it?" She looked down at the list and said: "How do I know which girl it is?" I said: "It's from Lao Dou. He will return to China in a few days and pass by Beijing. He wants to have dinner with me." Have a meal." She returned the list to the waiter and said, "This guy has a thick skin. Why, he still has friends in Beijing?" I said, "Don't say that, but he's not bad. Everyone There are bottlenecks, and they all have areas they are good at, so you can’t look at people with one eye.” She said, “Then tell me what my bottleneck is, and what am I good at?” I said, “What bottleneck do you have? It's shaking to the sky." She said, "Virtue."

The waiter handed me the cone and asked, "Are you leaving get off work so early?" I said, "What are you talking about? I'm not at work today." The waiter said, "Aren't you the big brother at 2B who turned right ahead?" Is it?" I said, "It used to be, but not now."

After Li Da took a few mouthfuls of ice cream, humming with the spoon in his mouth, I aimed my eyes at her, and she pulled out the spoon and said, "Have you seen enough? How is it? Doesn't it look good?" I smiled and said: " It's weird, you don't look like your father, and you don't look like your mother." "Who says I don't look like my mother?" she said, "That's my stepmother you met. My mother died when I was ten years old It’s a heart attack. Here, it’s at the hospital by the river.” I said, “I’m sorry.” She waved her hand and said, “Hey, what can’t I say? My stepmother is a good person, and my dad loves me too. , My family is still so rich, God is very good to me.”

Twilight began to engulf the banks of the Tonghui River. Vehicles honking in the distance blocked the bridge head tightly. Electric vehicles and street vendors nearby were tangled together, arguing and moving, and together weaved together the magnificent scene of the peak period of the capital.Li Da untied his coiled hair, leaned on the railing by the river, closed his eyes and breathed in the cold air blowing from the opposite side.I said to her: "Look at this river. Every time I went to work overtime at the company and passed by here, I would take a look at it. I always thought it was a pool of stagnant water. After I left my job, I had a lot of time to wander here. , only to realize that it has been flowing all the time." She said: "It's frozen, why is there still flow?" I said: "There is also flow under the ice." She said: "I understand what you mean, people can only slow down. Only by walking can you feel your own soul. I really admire you for this. You can take a walk in such a crowded place, but I can’t. I usually feel anxious when I step on the brakes. Living in this kind of place, everyone will only compare who walks I’m afraid that I’m going slower than others.” I said, “So, it’s right for some people to leave here, and only after leaving can they have their own life.” She burst out laughing, opened her eyes and said, “And Come on, are you talking about you, or your Boss Dou?" I lowered my head, stood up straight and said, "Li Da, how sure do you think someone like me is in chasing a girl like you?"

She looked at me and didn't speak for a long time. I became nervous, and her eyes began to wander. She asked me: "Is this a courtship?" Two years, you are now talking to Lao Tzu by a stinking ditch?" I said, "I only dared to think about this after I left here. It’s normal both physically and economically, right? People like me can accept it calmly, at worst, I’ll adjust the coordinates to try other people..." She rushed over and hugged me and said, "Try your sister! "

I touch the protruding shoulder blades on her back, smell the breath in her hair, my heart beats like a teenager, and the distant lights melt like candy in front of me.

The door slowly moved away, and Li Xiaogan put his head in the crack of the door and said, "Where's the key? I can't open the door by myself!" I said, "I searched all over my body and couldn't find it, so I should have left it at home." He said, "" Why did you go? I just came back at this time, and I didn’t reply to your text messages.” I said: “The phone is out of battery, I had a meal with my friends, and then went to the bar to watch a game. You hurry up and let me Go in, it’s freezing.” Li Xiaogan pushed open the door and said, “Slow down, someone is sleeping in the room.” I glanced at the suitcase on the side of the corridor and said, “Your friend?” He said, “A Lovelorn girl, came to our house crying."

Li Xiaogan turned on the light in the living room, I walked to the sofa, squatted down and looked at Liu Jing under the blanket, and said, "Why don't you let her sleep in my room, I'll just sleep here." Li Xiaogan said, "Forget it." , crying all night, let her sleep here, we said we were going to wait for you to come back, who knew you didn't make it, so I took her downstairs for supper." I said: "Well, you go back and continue Go to sleep, I'll take a shower and go back to my room to sleep, I don't have to go to work tomorrow, let's talk about it after everyone gets up." Li Xiaogan walked to the door, turned around and said, "Remember to turn off the light in the living room for her when you come out of the shower."

The water from the nozzle rushed out, I closed my eyes and shivered, my tense body gradually relaxed, I looked out through the window in the mist, and found a blue cloud wandering, behind it was a round Huge moon.

"Except for money, nothing can stop your sister. This woman is too tough."
