strange i love you

Chapter 20
"How to say?"

"I'm the director. They should listen to what I say, but the copywriting director of our company keeps arguing with me. I really don't know if I offended her somewhere before."

"Haha, you still have today." Zheng Tao patted him on the shoulder and said, "I opened my own studio, and now I'm working alone outside. If you have any good projects, don't forget buddies."

"Why didn't you do it in the previous company? Isn't that company very good?"

Zheng Tao didn't know how to explain it, so he joked: "Isn't this to avoid going your old way? I open my own studio, who dare not listen to me?"

"Where is your studio? I'll check it out when I'm free and I'll send you a wreath."

"It's a flower basket."

"Haha, it's a flower basket, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue..."

On the weekend, Lin Youxi asked Lu Li to have dinner and watch a movie together. When they came out of the theater, the two were still immersed in the movie, so when someone called Lin Youxi behind, she didn't react in time.

The person behind put his hand on her shoulder: "Lin Youxi."

Turning around, Zhao Zixin was looking at her with a half-smile: "I thought I called the wrong person, but it turned out to be you."

Lin Youxi squeezed out a smile with some embarrassment: "Yes, long time no see."

"Where are you now?"

"A small company." After Lin Youxi said the company's name, she obviously felt the smile on Zhao Zixin's face froze, "Do you know anyone in that company?"

"Ah, no, I just heard about this company." Zhao Zixin obviously forced a smile, Lin Youxi thought of Lin Kai, could there be something wrong between these two?
"By the way." Lin Youxi took out her mobile phone, "Let's leave a phone number for each other, so that we can contact each other in the future."

"Okay."

After saving Zhao Zixin's number, the two chatted casually for a while, and then left separately.

"Your former colleague looks like a rich woman." Lu Li said to Lin Youxi, "I looked at her just now, and found that she had logos all over her body, what position does she hold in the company? "

"It's from the administration department." Lin Youxi said, "The famous tag on her body is obviously not bought by her with her own salary, it should be given by her parents or her boyfriend, I'm not sure."

Lin Youxi even heard this little about Zhao Zixin from Wu Fei'er.

When she got to work on Monday, Lin Youxi wrote Zhao Zixin's mobile phone number on a small note, thinking that she would give it to him when she met someone named Lin Kai.Lin Youxi also wondered why she helped him. She just met a few times with colleagues and didn't have much contact at work.

Lin Kai looked very happy after getting the phone number, and thanked Lin Youxi repeatedly: "I have the opportunity to treat you to dinner."

"You're welcome, it's a small matter." Lin Youxi asked him tentatively, "What's your relationship with Zhao Zixin?"

Seeing Lin Kai's troubled expression, Lin Youxi waved her hands and said, "I'll just ask casually, if you don't want to talk, forget it."

"She was my ex-girlfriend."

"Girlfriend?" This time it was Lin Youxi's turn to be surprised, the unattractive man in front of her was definitely not the type that Zhao Zixin liked.

"We are college classmates, and we still worked in the same company after graduation, but we broke up and we didn't contact each other again." Lin Kai said simply, but seeing the faint sadness in his eyes, Lin Youxi knew that the matter was certain It's not that simple, apparently Lin Kai hasn't forgotten about Zhao Zixin.

But after all, she is not familiar with her, so Lin Youxi is too embarrassed to ask more questions. Now she is more concerned about how to deal with the troublesome director.This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, if this continues, Lin Youxi feels that this company may be ruined by him.So, she decided to leapfrog to sue.

When I was young, some students in the class were disobedient, and some good children who had good grades and listened to the teacher liked to give small reports secretly.Unfortunately, Lin Youxi has been such a child since she was a child, but when she grows up, she suddenly realizes that it is too naive and ridiculous to make small reports, and she will be excluded by her classmates, and she will turn a blind eye when she sees someone breaking discipline. only eye.Unexpectedly, after she became an adult, she would still have the opportunity to experience the thrill of making a small report.

Considering that John is the nephew of the boss of the company, she spoke more tactfully.First, Big Quarter praised John, almost lifting him to the sky, and then pointed out John's shortcomings in a soft tone.With previous experience in the workplace, Lin Youxi also said that this was a mistake caused by too much pursuit of perfection.

When the words reached John's ears, he was surprised.I didn't expect that Lin Youxi would praise herself like this behind her back. He just graduated from university and had no practical experience at all except for internships. He was still very nervous at first, fearing that the employees under his management would disapprove of him. Unexpectedly, Lin Youxi expressed his appreciation for him.

After being praised so much, when he saw Lin Youxi again, John's attitude was much gentler. The two of them were no longer arguing with each other like a thunder meeting a fire, wishing to blow the ceiling down.

Afterwards, Lin Youxi was overwhelmed by her ingenuity.In fact, just by changing the speaking technique, the mentality of the listener will be completely different. I learned this trick from Zhao Zixin.

If you are proud in the workplace, other aspects will not be so smooth.After get off work, Lin Youxi was eating at the fast food restaurant downstairs of the company while checking Weibo on her mobile phone, but for some reason, someone suddenly picked up the seaweed soup in front of her and poured it directly over her head.

Lin Youxi screamed and jumped out of the seat in a hurry. In her panic, she saw Zhao Zixin staring at her with a livid face.

"What are you doing?" Lin Youxi took out a tissue and asked her while wiping her hair, "Are you crazy?"

"Why did you help him?" Zhao Zixin asked her loudly.

"What?" Lin Youxi didn't understand what she meant.

"I just said, why do you want my mobile phone number for no reason? You asked for it for Lin Kai, and you have such a good relationship with him?"

Lin Youxi finally understood that it was because of this: "It's just a mobile phone number, do you need to make such a big fuss?"

"I hate being calculated by others the most, Lin Youxi, if something really happens to me, don't even think about having an easy life!" Zhao Zixin left angrily after speaking.

As soon as she arrived at the company the next day, Lin Youxi immediately asked her colleagues about Lin Kai's office and went to find him.Lin Kai heard what happened last night and expressed his apologies.

"I kindly gave you her phone number, how could you betray me?" Lin Youxi was really suffering and couldn't tell, if she knew it earlier, she wouldn't worry about other people's affairs.

"Sorry, I accidentally said that too. She lost her temper, so I—"

"You still like her, don't you?" Lin Youxi hit the nail on the head. Seeing that Lin Kai was obviously stunned, she said, "Forget it, I'm unlucky, but if the bowl of water yesterday was boiling, I would be disfigured." Lin Youxi Thinking about it now, I'm still a little scared.

"I'm sorry, I'll apologize to you on her behalf."

"You two were really boyfriend and girlfriend before?" Lin Youxi still didn't believe it, she always felt that the person standing in front of her was more like chasing Zhao Zixin repeatedly but failed.It was hard for Lin Youxi to believe that a woman as high-minded as Zhao Zixin would spend time with Lin Kai.

In fact, Lin Kai and Zhao Zixin once reached the point of discussing marriage.

A few years ago, Lin Kai was not what he is now.At that time, he was neither bald nor fat, and his appearance was considered average.At that time, Lin Kai and Zhao Zixin were classmates in the same class, and the two got close, so they got together naturally.Graduated from college, the two work in the same company, both have met their parents, and are almost married.Zhao Zixin worked very hard at work, and the two belonged to different departments. Zhao Zixin was hired as an excellent employee every month, while Lin Kai was doing nothing and living on dead wages.However, Zhao Zixin's shortcoming is that she has a high spirit and wants to win everything. In order to get the project information of the other company, she actually resorted to stealing methods.The matter was brought to light, and when Zhao Zixin was about to die, it was Lin Kai who stood up and shouldered all the crimes, and finally stayed in prison for two months before coming out.

Zhao Zixin naturally looked down on people who had been in prison. At that time, she had no shortage of suitors, and she soon dated a rich second generation.Due to excessive pressure, Lin Kai has been in emotional instability for a long time, which caused a lot of hair loss. In less than a year, he became "extremely smart".Because of previous convictions, he could no longer continue to do the previous job, so Lin Kai had to find a new company, start all over again, and then jump to the current company.

"Although we haven't seen each other in the past few years, I've been asking about her, wondering if she's doing well." Lin Kai lowered his eyes, looking like a sad male lead.

"But even so, she wouldn't get so angry and pour soup on me." Lin Youxi said, "She also said that if she dies, she won't make me feel better. What does that mean?"

Lin Kai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I guess I said that because I was out of breath, and I don't know what it means."

Lin Youxi glanced at him, then sighed a long time, and said, "You can deal with it yourself, but it's been so long, there is no grass anywhere in the world, you will meet better ones in the future." of."

Lin Kai nodded and said, "I understand, thank you very much this time. I will treat you to dinner another day, and I must thank you well."

I thought Lin Kai was just talking verbally, but he came to Lin Youxi the next day and asked if she was free.Anyway, Lin Youxi is single now, and she eats alone when she goes back, so she happily followed Lin Kai to eat the special dishes he said.

After a few glasses of soju, Lin Youxi talked more.Originally, the previous emotional injuries have not been fully healed, but they have not yet festered due to busy schedules.After drinking some wine, she became overwhelmed with emotions, and she couldn't help comforting Lin Kai earnestly: "Why bother with those who are not worth it, there are so many people in the world, I'm afraid I can't find someone I like..."

Lin Kai kept nodding in agreement. After eating, Lin Youxi was already dizzy when she stood up from her seat, and her walking was a little unsteady. Fortunately, Lin Kai was supporting her, otherwise she would have fallen to the ground.

"Where is your home? I'll take you back." Lin Kai asked her.

Lin Youxi lowered her head and did not speak, humming drunkenly.

Lin Kai had no choice but to put her arm on his shoulder, ready to help her out first.As a result, before taking a few steps, a person came out to block them.

"Leave her to me." The other party was a tall, thin man with handsome features, and Lin Kai didn't know him. "I'm her friend."

"How do I know if you are her friend?" Lin Kai said.

The man took out his mobile phone and called Lin Youxi. When Lin Youxi's mobile phone rang, the other party said, "Do you believe it now?"

They just had phone calls, so they couldn't explain anything. Lin Kai didn't want to hand Lin Youxi over to a stranger.

Seeing Lin Kai's thoughts, Zheng Tao said, "You don't even know where her home is, so how do you send her?"

"But at least I'm her colleague."

"This is my business card." Zheng Tao handed him the card and said, "Don't worry, I will send her back safely."

"Then I'll be with you." Link said.

Zheng Tao shrugged helplessly and said, "Let's go."

In fact, Zheng Tao made an appointment with a client to have dinner here tonight, and when he came out of the private room after dinner, he saw Lin Youxi and Lin Kai. Zheng Tao thought it was because she was drunk and was stalked by a strange man.

"I can't drink, I still drink so much." Zheng Tao frowned, bent down, and asked Lin Kai to help Lin Youxi onto his back, and put her on his back.

When they got home, Zheng Tao found the key in her bag and opened the door, then turned around and said to Lin Kai who had been following behind, "Trust me now?"

Link Kai blinked, but said nothing.

Coming out of Lin Youxi's house, the two chatted casually.

"You and Lin Youxi belong to the same department?" Zheng Tao asked.

"No, it's from a company. She helped me a little, so I invited her to dinner." Lin Kai took out a cigarette and handed it to Zheng Tao.

"Thanks, I don't smoke." Zheng Tao waved his hand.

"Are you her friend?" Lin Kai said, "Seeing that you care about her very much."

"My former colleagues in the company were not as good as you thought." Zheng Tao said calmly.

"Colleague?" Lin Kai's heart moved, and he asked tentatively, "Is it the company Lin Youxi worked for before?"

"Yeah, but I don't work there anymore either."

Lin Kai nodded thoughtfully and said nothing.

Lin Youxi woke up the next day and found herself lying on the bed, recalling last night, she had no memory of how she got back.Lin Kai sent him back?But how did he know where his home was?Lin Youxi felt strange, but didn't have the time to think about it. She got up, washed up, and hurried to the company.

It was not until lunch that Lin Youxi saw Lin Kai again.

"Sober up." Lin Kai greeted her.

"Hmm." Lin Youxi asked suspiciously, "You sent me home last night?"

"Meet a person who claims to be your friend, he knows your home, and I sent it with him."

"Friend? Who is it?"

"What's Tao?"

"Zheng Tao!" Lin Youxi called out, "How could it be him."

"Yes, Zheng Tao, he also gave me a business card." Lin Kai said, "It seems that he cares about you."

Lin Youxi was confused by Lin Kai's words, because she really didn't expect it to be him.After hesitating for a while, he took out his phone and sent him a text message.

——I heard that you sent me home last night, thank you.

After a while, I received his reply.

——Thank you so much, please eat.

Thinking of the last time he gave him so much food in the hospital, he never had a chance to thank him.Lin Youxi replied: "Okay, I have time to come out for dinner."

——It’s better to hit the sun than to choose a day, let’s do it tonight, I happen to like a Japanese food, I heard it’s delicious.

Is this murder?Lin Youxi roared in her heart, but who told her to owe others favors, she could only swallow her anger and agree.The place to eat was very close to Zheng Tao's studio. Lin Youxi didn't know until he arrived that he wanted to go back to work after dinner.

"I really know how to choose a place." Lin Youxi muttered, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"The studio has just been established, and there are a lot of trivial things, so I am naturally busy."

"How is the operation going? Maybe one day I will jump ship."

"Jump again?"

"The newly appointed director is really unreliable." Lin Youxi fed the sushi dipped in wasabi into her mouth, "But you are a new company, so I don't worry about it. What if it fails one day?"

"...Are you looking forward to closing down?"

Lin Youxi knew she said something wrong, so she quickly covered her mouth and smiled apologetically: "No, I didn't mean that..."

"What's the name of your company?"

After Lin Youxi finished speaking, Zheng Tao was taken aback. Isn't that the company where John works?Then he thought of the copywriting guide that John complained about last time, and when he looked up and saw Lin Youxi whose mouth was stuffed with sushi and couldn't speak, Zheng Tao seemed to understand something.

"What's your director's name?"

"Fuck, find out the name of our director," Lin Youxi swallowed the sushi with difficulty, took a sip of water, and said, "What are you doing?"

"Ask, maybe we know each other, maybe we can ask him to help guide me." Zheng Tao teased.

"Forget it, I will despise myself if I let that kind of person support me."

"It seems that you don't have a good relationship with your boss."

"A boy in his early twenties, wouldn't it be shameful to ask him to support me?"

Hearing this, Zheng Tao can be sure that the person is John, and the difficult employee John mentioned is Lin Youxi.Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What's so funny?"

"Ha, it's okay." Zheng Tao waved his hands, "I just feel that sometimes there are such coincidences between people."

"What do you mean?"

"Eat, eat." Zheng Tao stuffed a sushi roll into her mouth.
