C39 Forget Each Other
I paid my last respects to the Prefect of Police and told him what I thought. I said that I had fully recovered and would like to work at the company early in the next two days. The Director thought for a moment and said, "Alright, since you've recovered, come over first. If anything comes up, we can discuss it slowly. I still have a client. Let's not talk about it, that's all."
The morning after my call with the Prefect of Police, I got up early, found some clean clothes to change into, put on a baseball cap before my hair grew out, and went out on the morning bus to the office.
When I appeared at the company, everyone looked at me strangely. After not seeing me for more than two months, it was as if I had not come out. Director Yang and I exchanged pleasantries and came over to make fun of each other. "Oh, Wang Lin is here.
Embarrassed, I greeted her, and when I went to my seat, I found myself in someone else's. I knocked on the table and said politely, "I'm sorry, this seat is mine."
The bespectacled man slanted his face and snappily said, "The Leader arranged for me to sit."
I lost my temper and licked my lips. I didn't know what to say. Seeing me arrive, Da Yong pulled me to the side and said: "That person just arrived at the company, the Leader has arranged for us to meet. Did you report to the Leader yet?"
I was angry when I saw the man in my seat. "Not yet," I said.
Da Yong said: "Go and inform the Director that you are here, see what he has to say."
I was so angry that I shook my head. Inadvertently, I saw Xin Ru sitting at a corner in the distance, her gaze was fixated on me, and after seeing me discover it, she immediately lowered her head, pretending to organize the information.
I thought for a moment, then headed straight to Director's Office and knocked on his office door.
When he saw that I had arrived, he stood up and said, "You've come to work so quickly. Are all your injuries completely healed?"
I said, "It's all good now. I can't stay at home anymore."
The Prefect of Police pointed at me and said admiringly, "Young man, you're ambitious."
I asked the Director, "Director Wang, where should I sit?"
He tilted his head, and then suddenly seemed to remember something. He smiled hypocritically and said, "Oh, I let Little Xu sit there. Little Xu is a new strength that the company will be able to add up to in the next year. He's been in another company before, and he's also a talented young man. As for you, find an empty seat and sit down. I'll get the Director Yang to prepare some office supplies for you. "
I restrained myself from saying anything further. Since I had come to work, it was inevitable that I would suffer some grievances. As I was about to leave, the Director called out to me again, "Wang Lin, wait a moment."
I stopped and turned around. "Director Wang, what else do you want?"
He was playing with a pen in his hand as he smiled and said, "Nothing much, I'm just reminding you. As for you, since you've come to work, don't interact with that rich woman anymore. The last time you were seriously injured by a few criminals in the company, it had a very bad effect on our reputation. You know, companies are development-oriented and can't be affected by the personal problems of individual employees. "
I understood what the Superintendent meant by that. Furthermore, he had arranged for me to sit in a position that belonged to someone else, so from the looks of it, he did not want me to continue working in this company. He was afraid that my relationship with the Sister Li would lead to some unnecessary trouble that would bring him trouble.
I stared at him. He looked away and said, "Okay, you go to work first."
I did not move and did not think much. I blurted out impulsively: "Director Wang, it seems like you are thinking of a way to stop me from continuing to work here?"
He hastily waved his hand: "Xiao Wang, don't misunderstand, I am not like this. The company's everything is based on the development of the company, and the things you did last time did indeed have a big impact on its reputation. "But if you continue to tangle with the female boss of that cosmetics company, then you really can't stay in this company anymore. No one wants to get into trouble."
I kept my eyes on him and pointed at him as I backed away. "Okay, okay, that Wang guy. I don't need you to say anything. I'll go by myself!"
After I finished speaking, I turned around and quickly walked out of the Superintendent's office. His voice sounded from behind me, "Wang Lin, Wang Lin..."
Coming out of the Director's Office, I walked quickly to my previous work, opened the drawer with my key, and went out to retrieve my old belongings. Seeing that, Da Yong asked in confusion: "What's wrong? What did the Director say? "
I didn't pay any attention to Da Yong, I only focused on taking out everything from my past and putting them into a small box before leaving. Da Yong followed closely behind me and asked curiously: "Wang Lin, what are you doing? What's the matter with you? What's going on? "
I said, "I don't want to work anymore. I'm quitting."
He was right next to me. "What's going on?" he asked anxiously. Why do you say you don't want to? Didn't you say that you would come to work today? "Why did you suddenly not dare to?"
Da Yong asked a series of questions, but I only said lightly, "I don't want to work anymore."
When he was walking out of the company, Xin Ru's voice came from behind him, "Wang Lin." I looked back and saw that she was running towards me with a worried look on her face.
Xin Ru ran over and asked, "What's wrong? Has he resigned? "
Da Yong followed: "That's right, why does it say that you will resign just like that? "Isn't it too sudden?"
I looked at Da Yong and nodded at him, then said: "I've resigned."
Xin Ru squinted his eyes and asked, "Why?"
I gave her a faint smile and said, "There's no reason. I don't want to work anymore. I'm a little tired."
Xin Ru's tone was extremely indifferent. "Is it because of me? You don't want to see me before you resign? "
I smiled warmly at her and said, "Do you think I'm that kind of person? — It has nothing to do with you. The three of us have been together for so long. When have I ever stopped wanting to see you?"
Xin Ru was puzzled: "Why is that so? "Why didn't you inform us why did you say you could go just like that?"
"That's right, he's way too ungrateful!" Da Yong continued.
I looked up at the sky. The sky was blue and the sun was shining. I squinted my eyes and lowered my head. "It's because of Sister Li." I turned and walked away with the box.
Xin Ru did not follow me, nor did he call for me.
Da Yong also didn't follow along and shouted from behind me: "This bro is currently busy at work and can't leave. I'll give you a call after work and accompany you to drink at night."
I took a taxi back to my place, carried a box of what was now, to me, scrap paper, and threw it in the trash. He suddenly felt much more relaxed. He raised his head to look at the sky. The sun was so warm, the clouds were bright and the sky was dim. Life was so beautiful. I should enjoy it and not live in such a gloomy manner.
It was indeed a fine day, which was rarely seen in the past few days. The snow had completely melted, the ground was dry, and the sun was bright. The air was warm, so I went to the park and found an open space to lie down on a chair with my eyes closed and bask in the sun.
Sunlight shines on my body, as gentle and sweet as the Sister Li's caress. I accidentally fell asleep.
In my dream I dreamed of the Sister Li, standing by my bed in her beige windbreaker, watching me sleep like a benevolent mother. A gust of spring wind wakes me to the cold, and the sun has set in the west.
I rubbed my eyes and found an old lady picking up trash standing beside me. She was hunched over and pointed at the water bottle beside me. "Can I take this?"
I took the bottle and handed it to her. She smiled in satisfaction and left.
Before I stood up to leave, I called the Sister Li. I shook my head in frustration and went back to my apartment. I missed her so much that I turned on my computer and found the picture of her daughter that she had sent me, with only her profile on it. I was content to see anything about her that I could not see her on this particular day.
Around seven o'clock, Da Yong called me. He said that he was roasting meat in Little Yang and wanted me to go over, knowing that I was in a bad mood so he accompanied me for a drink. As expected of being my friend for many years, I asked him if Xin Ru was there, and he said that he knew what I was thinking.
I then went out to take a taxi to Goshin Road 4, where he was sitting and had already ordered roast meat and beer. When he saw me, he told me to sit down, opened the beer and asked, "What are you doing this afternoon?"
"I slept for a while."
"Come, let's go." Da Yong and I touched for a while, before drinking a cup of wine and saying, "I only found out today that Xiao Xu is also from Hunan and is Wang Shengli's hometown."
Since I have already resigned, I am not interested in anything else. I looked at Da Yong and did not say anything. Da Yong said, "I don't know what you're thinking, but do you really want to be with Sister Li?"
"She's hiding from me now."
"Why?" Da Yong looked at me with a confused expression, "Didn't Sister Li get divorced already? Why is he avoiding you again? "
"She didn't think it was appropriate for her to be with me. She said that she was married, that she had children, that I was much younger than her, and that there was pressure when we were together."
"Actually what the Sister Li said was not wrong. The two of you do have feelings for each other, but it is indeed inappropriate in all aspects. But since she's dating you, it's not good for her to suddenly do this. "
"He's not answering the phone now, nor is he replying to messages." I took a sip of my wine and sighed.
"To be honest, have you really fallen for the Sister Li?"
"Maybe it's true. Even though she ignored me, I also wanted to forget about her. What's wrong with that, but I just can't forget about it. It's been almost a month, and we've only chatted online once. But I still think of her. "
The situation is a bit complicated, bro, I don't have any good suggestions, you can say that it's fine to pick up girls, but Sister Li isn't like other girls, they have more experience than us, have seen much of the world, and we can't play.
I asked Da Yong: "Do you think she has ever used her heart on me when I was with Sister Li?"
Da Yong thought for a moment, then said: "Actually I feel that Sister Li is quite attentive when she is with you, it doesn't seem like she is playing. Moreover, she has such a high status and is extremely busy normally, so how would she have the time to play around? Is Sister Li in Xi'an recently? "
"I don't know. I went back to Hangzhou during the new year. Did you come?"
"You didn't go to her?"
"Nope."
"Since you want to see her, then go and find her. Since you know where her house is, and you know where the company is, it's easy for you to see her."
"We'll see — is Xin Ru alright?"
"What can I have? It's because I don't want you to leave."
"In the past, it was us who protected her at the company. But now that I've resigned, I'll leave the responsibility of protecting her to you."
"Don't worry, leave it to me." Don't worry, leave it to me.
