I was so sleepy that I talked nonsense, and people were a little hysterical. When Liu Tao hugged me, I just felt warm and comfortable, safe and secure, and suddenly I was lazy and didn't want to move. I almost fell asleep in his arms. For a few seconds, I barely managed to figure out what was wrong with my clear mind, and then realized that the person holding me was Liu Tao!
What's the situation? Liu Tao, who is always gentle and slow, and Liu Tao, who is always modest and gentleman, is this too passionate
My body froze immediately, and I woke up from the nap, I didn't dare to move too much, I just struggled lightly, swallowed my saliva, and whispered: "Teacher Liu?"
Liu Tao hugged me very hard again, until I was almost out of breath, and then let go, and said with a pair of deep black eyes full of enthusiasm and affection: "Momo, you It's great. As long as the pictures keep up, this manuscript will not be selected. You are definitely the hero of our weekly magazine!"
I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized that Liu Tao's passion was not for me, but for my manuscript. I felt relieved for a moment, which made it easier for people to understand.
"Have you read the manuscript? No problem?" I asked.
"That's no problem! I've paid attention to the hot discussion of the Cheng Hua incident. Once your manuscript is published, it will definitely attract attention. I didn't expect you to get the manuscript so quickly. I also sent it to the leader today. After reading it, other manuscripts have been uploaded one after another in the past few days. Let's strive for the trial issue of the weekly magazine to be listed on the market next Monday. Momo, you are really my nobleman!" Liu Tao said excitedly.
How dare I accept Liu Tao's praise, so I quickly shied away and said: "No, no, Mr. Liu, you are my noble person." Although I said this now, it seems to be a favor, but in my heart it is not flattery at all, Liu Whether it's Tao or Cheng Hua, I don't know if they are my lovers, but these two are definitely the nobles of my life.
Liu Tao started to walk in circles in the room. After walking a few steps, he still didn't forget to turn his head and smile at me. It was obvious that he was in a very disturbed mood today. I reckon it's not just the result of my manuscript, it must be that the funding issue that the weekly magazine applied for a few days ago has also been approved, otherwise it would be impossible to publish it next week. Of course, there may be some more exciting news Also unknown. Because, apart from his weird behavior of pacing around the room, I think there is something wrong with the way he looks at me.
I just need to be a little more affectionate, and I can feel that he is in love with me. He looked at me so burningly, as if I was the woman he loved the most. When he looked at me like this, I felt my face was a little hot.
This has nothing to do with any affection, even if it wasn't Liu Tao, I would blush if any man stared at him like this.
"Momo, allow me some time. Everything is still in the beginning stage. Everything is on the table. I'm afraid it will be too controversial, so I can only wait a little longer. You know what I mean, don't you?" Liu Tao said, stopping next to me, almost close to my ear, and whispered.
I understand that even if I am a rookie, I still know a thing or two about the general environment of the newspaper office. Any department, even a newly established department, must be formed by the confluence of several forces, and no one person can dominate . From an upright point of view, any place that becomes a monopoly will be detrimental to long-term development. From a slightly darker point of view, many presidents and vice presidents of the newspaper will train their own troops in each sub-journal. Only in this way can we stabilize our position in the newspaper.
As for me, when I joined the newspaper, I was an intern under Liu Tao. Now that he has visited the entertainment department several times to ask for someone, then now I am like a pork with a purple stamp, completely belonging to Liu Tao's production. As for the two of us, if one is the executive editor and the other is the director of the editorial department, it is basically equivalent to mastering all the authority over the content of the weekly magazine. This is bound to be impossible. Therefore, from Liu Tao's point of view, it is very reasonable to wait for a suitable opportunity or other arrangements.
Of course, when Liu Tao said this, I was actually a little disappointed in my heart. Since I knew that I might be promoted to the post of editorial director, although I have been persuading myself not to take it too seriously, I still have some vague expectations in my heart. However, apart from being disappointed, I also felt a little relieved. Although I want to be an official, I know how many bowls of rice I can eat, so I don't have the confidence to be qualified for that position.
So, of course, I said to Liu Tao very humbly: "It's okay, Mr. Liu, I'm already content with what I'm like now, so you don't have to think too much about me."
Liu Tao was very relieved to hear me say that, patted my shoulder, looked at me deeply with an expression that said nothing, then walked back to the desk and turned off the computer and said, "Go, Momo, please You go to dinner, let's celebrate in advance."
I looked at Liu Tao with some embarrassment, "Well, Teacher Liu, I'm really sleepy right now. I wrote the manuscript all night yesterday..."
When Liu Tao heard this, his eyes were full of apology and emotion, "Yes, I said you don't look very well, I forgot everything when I was happy. Well, you go back and have a good rest. My God, I worked hard to solve your personnel relationship. I was too busy at both ends. It was too hard for you. When we officially publish the magazine, I will treat you again. Your health is important, so don't work too hard. "
Liu Tao insisted on driving me home, so I didn't back down too much. It was just that when I first got in the car, I still managed to talk to Liu Tao. I went to meet Zhou Gong. It takes at most half an hour from the newspaper office to my house. When I opened my eyes again, the car was parked at the gate of my community. At this moment, the sky is already full of stars. At least two hours have passed since I left the newspaper office. .
I rubbed my sore cervical spine, turned my head and looked at Liu Tao embarrassedly and said, "Mr. Liu, why didn't you call me?"
"Seeing how tired you are, I want you to sleep for a while before I call you." Liu Tao said, stretching out his hand, and brushing my hair that was already messed up. "Momo, your hard work will definitely pay off..."
The lights in the car were not turned on, and it was flickering on and off, so Liu Tao's expression could not be seen clearly, but his eyes were reflected by the night light, shining a bright and sincere light. This sentence was murmured out like a promise. , made me feel hot, and suddenly felt that my hard work, and even those grievances that I didn't understand were all worthwhile. Anyway, at this moment, someone saw and recognized my work.
This warm moment was interrupted by my stomach growling, Liu Tao chuckled, "Are you hungry? Let's eat some nearby? Or should you go back and eat?"
Right now, he is already at my door, and out of reason, Liu Tao sent me back. I should be polite to him, and I invited him: "Mr. Liu, come to my house to eat, my mother cooks well. "
Liu Tao looked at his watch hesitantly, "It's so late, sorry to disturb uncle and aunt?"
"It's only past eight o'clock. It's not too late. You haven't eaten all this time to wait for me. How dare you go back like this. Let's go. My house is on the second floor of the first row building, very close." I pointed to the neighborhood said Lou Qun.
"Well, I know, when you were sick last time, I came to pick you up from the hospital." Liu Tao said.
"Oh." I smirked, and invited sincerely: "That's right, I forgot if you didn't tell me about it. After the last time, my parents kept saying thank you, so you come home with me Let's eat."
Liu Tao smiled, "Okay, then I'll be cheeky and be an uninvited guest."
"How could it be an uninvited guest? You are the honored guest." I said obsequiously, and when Liu Tao drove the car to my door, I hurriedly got out of the car, wondering if I should call my mother and let her make preparations . But now that he's downstairs, it seems like he won't have time to prepare anything if he calls again. I thought to myself, my mother has always been a diligent person, and my house has always been neat and tidy, so there shouldn't be any scenes where I can't see people.
When I got to the door, I rang the doorbell, and the door opened right in front of me. I opened my mouth and said, "Mom, I haven't eaten with my colleagues. We came back to eat together..." Before I finished speaking, I was shocked to find that the person who opened the door was Cheng birch.
I was so stuttered that I couldn't even say a whole sentence, "You, Mom, that Teacher Liu..."
Cheng Hua glanced at me indifferently, then smiled politely at Liu Tao behind me, stretched out her hand and said, "Editor Liu, yes, nice to meet you."
Liu Tao seemed to be stunned for a moment, but he didn't look too surprised. After hesitating for a moment, he smiled and held Cheng Hua's hand, "I didn't expect to see you here. It seems I'm really lucky."
I stared at the two of them dumbfounded, and entered the room affectionately without knowing what they were talking about, and hurriedly followed behind them at a loss.
My old man and the old lady are sitting in the living room. The old lady is doing furry work while watching TV. The old man is staring at the full chessboard with his chin in a daze. Apparently, before I came in, Cheng Hua played with him again. What about chess
Seeing Cheng Hua and Liu Tao standing there, my dear parents were still focused on their own affairs and didn't notice. I finally found some self-consciousness as a master, and hurriedly said, "Teacher Liu, please sit down quickly, Mom. , Dad, Teacher Liu is here, we work overtime at night, and we haven't eaten yet, do you have food at home?"
The old couple looked up at Liu Tao together, and Liu Tao hurriedly said, "Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry, it's really rude to come to visit so late."
"No, there's nothing wrong. Oh, I haven't eaten yet, right? I'm going to heat it up, but I'm sorry, I have to let you make some, and it's all leftovers." The mother immediately showed her hospitality. Instinctively, he put down the rough work in his hand and went to the kitchen. While going, he told Cheng Hua, "Xiaohua, go make tea for Editor Liu, Momo, come to the kitchen and give me a hand."
My father also stood up enthusiastically, let Liu Tao take a seat, and said, "I haven't thanked Editor Liu last time. It happened that I was not at home. Momo's illness made our old lady very anxious. It's a loss." With you."
When I invited Liu Tao back, I didn't expect such a situation at all. For some reason, my heart panicked like weeds, and I hurriedly followed my mother into the kitchen, and closed the door behind me.
"Why is Cheng Hua here?"
"Why is Liu Tao here?"
As soon as the door was closed, our mothers and I asked each other at the same time.
