C19 The Feeling of Superiority Was Overwhelming
He didn't know how long he chatted with Li-jie that night and didn't know how he fell asleep in the end.
By the time I woke up in the morning, it was already past nine and eight people hadn't answered my phone. I called Bighead and asked him to help me take a half-day off. When I got up, Li-jie was no longer there, but I knew from the noise outside that she had not left the house.
I put on my pants and couldn't find my jacket. When I walked out of my room, I saw Sister Li cleaning in the living room downstairs. When she heard me come out, she looked up and said, "Why don't you sleep much?"
I grumbled, "Why didn't you wake me up? I can't make it to work."
Sister Li was like a child who had made a mistake. She looked at me innocently and said, "Oh, I saw that you were sleeping so well and wanted you to sleep more. I'm sorry."
I softened my tone and said smilingly, "I'm fine. I asked Bighead to help me apply for a half-day leave of absence …. By the way, Li-jie, have you seen my top? "
Sister Li said, "Oh, I washed it for you. You were dirty when you threw up last night. Wait a moment, I'll get it for you." Sister Li put down the vacuum cleaner and walked quickly into the laundry room.
After a while, she came out with my jacket. I went downstairs to get it and found that she had helped me wash it clean, and it was also very flat, as if it was new. It felt very comfortable to put it on. Her care and diligence made me feel more about her.
When she saw that I had put on my clothes and combed my messy hair, she smiled and said, "Little Sun, you should go wash up first. I've put in a new set of toothpicks in the bathroom. I'll go make breakfast."
After saying that, she turned around and walked into the kitchen. Looking at her back, I couldn't help but smile and enter the bathroom as well. After washing my face and rinsing my mouth, I noticed that elder sister Li was in the living room with my cell phone in her hand.
I was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked over and took the phone from her hands. After staring blankly for a long time, I finally got through and asked, "What's wrong?"
Kiki asked me with concern, "Piggy, did Bighead say you were sick? Have you gone to take a look? "
I chuckled. "It's fine. Thank you for your concern."
Kiki said, "Is it a cold or a fever? No, let's go take a look and get some medicine to take a bite. We can hang up the hanging bottle as well, let's hurry up and finish it. "
I was a little impatient, but people were concerned about me, so I patiently said, "Alright, I understand. If you're at work, then you can busy yourself first. I want to sleep for a while."
Qi Qi said, "Oh, then go rest. I'm hanging up."
After hanging up, I smiled at Li-jie. Li-jie's eyebrows were slightly raised and a smile hung on her lips. She joked in a relaxed tone, "Qiqi really cares about you."
I said, "It's only right between colleagues."
Lise gave me a bright look, smiled, and went back into the kitchen. I sat on the couch for a while. She sat down with breakfast on the dining room table and asked me to come over.
Two fried eggs, two cups of milk, a few pieces of bread, and last night's leftovers were also hot.
Sister Li and I sat opposite each other, saying that we were definitely hungry, and I joked that, yes, I was so tired last night. She rolled her eyes at me shyly, then lowered her head and let a few strands of hair fall from her ears. There was a look of exhaustion on her face, but that was not something any woman could express.
I drank a mouthful of steaming hot milk and noticed that the circles around Sister Li's eyes were a bit heavy. I said, "Sister Li, you didn't sleep well last night."
She raised her head and blinked her eyes. With a confused expression, she said, "Is that so?"
I said, "You have dark circles under your eyes."
She smiled faintly and said, "I didn't sleep well last night. I'm used to sleeping alone, so I'm not used to sleeping alone."
I didn't know what to say, so I awkwardly smiled and lowered my head to eat.
Sister Li asked me when our company will begin construction for her. She was a little anxious and wanted to open the company as soon as possible. I said that the design had already been handed over to the Construction Department. It should only be for these two days. After breakfast, Li-jie said that she wanted to go to the company to take a look. She went upstairs to change into a small black suit, and wore skintight slacks. Her hair was tied up behind her head, making her look completely different from before.
I stood downstairs with my head held high, watching her leisurely walk down the stairs. Sister Li came downstairs and asked me with a smile, "What are you looking at?"
I said, "It's up to you."
She said, "What do I have to look at?"
"Beautiful," I said.
She smiled and tapped a finger on my forehead.
I said, "I'm telling the truth."
She smiled and went over to her bag. When I looked carefully at the sign, which was GUCCI's, I could only sigh to myself that this bag was enough to pay me a year's salary.
Sister Li took the bag and walked over saying, "Little Sun, are you alright this morning? Why don't you go to our company and have a look?"
I said, "Sure."
Sister Li said, "Then let's go."
We went out the front door together and walked straight to her car. Li-jie pressed the remote control, the lock opened, and I got in the passenger seat and watched her get in. I have only seen the offer of BMW X6 on the internet before, and I liked it very early on. Even if I didn't have the money, I would probably never be able to buy it in my entire life.
I asked Sister Li, "Sister Li, how much did you get for all of your cars?"
Sister Li started the car and said, "One million eight hundred and thirty thousand."
When I heard that, I smacked my lips and stopped talking.
As I sat in Sister Li's luxurious car, I felt that many people would stop and stare at it along the way. I also felt very proud and proud, the feeling of superiority in my heart suddenly grew. But in the end, it was just someone else's car.
When we reached an intersection, Sister Li suddenly turned the steering wheel and turned into the other road. Without fastening my seat belt, my body shook violently. When the car steadied itself, I asked Sister Li in confusion, "Sister Li, the road just now was a bit closer."
Sister Li said, "I saw his car parked by the side of the road."
I looked in the rearview mirror and saw that the silver Mercedes was parked at the side of the road, probably because Li-jie was afraid he'd see someone sitting in her car. I didn't say anything else. I squinted my eyes and raised my head to look at the sky, deep in thought.
Arriving at the door of Sister Li's company, he got off the car and saw a passenger van parked in front of the company. Several workers were unloading some decorating equipment. Li-jie and I looked at each other and quickly walked into the company. I immediately saw Old Zhang from the Engineering Department examining the structure of the building.
I went over and patted him. "Old Zhang, are we starting construction today?"
He turned his head and said, "Little Sun, yeah, we started today. Did you come over as well? The leader asked you to come over and take a look, right? "
I said, "Yeah, I came over to take a look. It can be considered as my painstaking efforts to come up with a plan. I need some snacks."
Old man Zhang said, "Don't worry. I, Old Zhang, have been in the decorating industry for so many years. There's nothing that clients aren't satisfied with that."
I said, "Alright, I'll be counting on you then." He said it was all right.
Sister Li went to the temporary office to talk to Kelly about something, probably about the renovation. After a while, she came over and said, "Little Sun, how about we find a place to sit? The dust inside is too heavy."
The dust inside was indeed rather thick, especially since the workers had started to polish the walls. As the dust flew everywhere, the smell was extremely unpleasant. I nodded.
After leaving the company with Li-jie, she said that she would find a place to sit nearby, so she stopped driving and walked over. I thought about it and said that there were a few teahouses on the way to Gao Xin. Sister Li said that was fine, so we walked there. Walking on the street, I don't know why pedestrians always give us two strange looks.
When we reached the teahouse, we took a seat by the window and ordered jasmine tea.
Sister Li asked me, "Did you feel anything on the way here?"
Puzzled, I asked, "What?"
Sister Li whispered, "The pedestrians are looking at us weirdly."
