On the way back, Ding Yinan remained expressionless and said nothing. Under the angry appearance, he was actually having a headache.
Ding Yinan's personality has nothing to do with liveliness at all, he only does what he is sure of, and strives to do everything to the extreme, even making love is the same.
It took him three years to figure out Huo Zhixiao's work and living habits, but today he suddenly discovered that Huo Zhixiao's personality was the biggest variable. He didn't like the feeling of being unpredictable, and it only made his job less handy than it used to be.
The car slowly drove into the underground parking lot of Huo Zhixiao's house, Ding Yinan was still thinking about how to get his work back on track. Maybe you can take annual leave to rest for a while, and after Huo Zhixiao forgets what happened last night, maybe the relationship between the two can return to normal.
But before Ding Yinan could make up his mind, Huo Zhixiao suddenly said: "You don't need to go to the company tomorrow morning."
Ding Yinan turned off the engine and looked at Huo Zhixiao.
"I'm going on a business trip to Sanyang Village tomorrow." Huo Zhixiao said, "There's a new project."
"New project?" It was the first time that Ding Yinan was notified of a new project in such an informal way. Under normal circumstances, the administrative secretary will first report the specific situation of the project to him, and then he will decide whether there is time to take it according to Huo Zhixiao's work schedule.
Now Huo Zhixiao has a big project of a commercial center in his hands, which has passed the stage of on-site inspection, and it happens to be his busy time.
"Are you busy?" Ding Yinan asked.
"The business center project is given to Zhao Yang." Huo Zhixiao said, "I'm free now."
When he said this, Huo Zhixiao didn't have any superfluous expression on his face, as if he was talking about a trivial matter in daily life. But for Ding Yinan, this news was enough to surprise him.
He was stunned for a moment, and quickly figured out the reason. He frowned slightly and asked, "Is that what Mr. Huo meant?"
"En." Huo Zhixiao responded lightly.
"When did it happen?" Ding Yinan continued to ask.
"Last night." Huo Zhixiao said, "After the Blue Dot Awards are drawn."
lottery...
Only when the lottery announces the winning numbers is it called the lottery. Huo Zhixiao used this word to describe the Blue Dot Award. At first it sounded like a joke about the Blue Dot Award, but Ding Yinan could hear Huo Zhixiao's self-mockery to himself—he The odds of winning are about the same as winning the lottery.
Now that I think about it, Huo Zhixiao went out to drink last night, maybe not just because he didn't win the prize, he was in a bad mood, he should be more concerned about being replaced by Huo Xun for an important project in his hand, and this kind of thing has never happened before .
Ding Yinan suddenly remembered the sentence he said to Huo Zhixiao last night, "Are you happy that you didn't win the award?" The lethality of this sentence was probably about the same as the lethality of "Your boyfriend is in someone else's bed". A needle in the heart of the heart.
No wonder Huo Zhixiao said he was a little bored in the clothing store just now. Now Ding Yinan finally understood that Huo Zhixiao hadn't lied, he was really idle.
"You said that you will meet an important client tomorrow," Ding Yinan paused, "Is that the client of this project?"
"Yes." Huo Zhixiao said, "The secretary of the village committee of Sanyang Village."
Sanyang Village will build a public library in response to the call for reading for all. The mayor personally approached Huo Xun to ask Jiushan Office to undertake the project. Huo Xun did not charge any fee in order to sell the mayor's favor. So for Huo Zhixiao, this project can't earn a penny. And this time Party A's father is still an official, so he has to be more careful when contacting him.
One is a tens of millions of commercial projects, and the other is a free labor project. Although Ding Yinan received a fixed salary every month and it was not linked to Huo Zhixiao's performance, he could feel the gap because Huo Zhixiao had never received such treatment in the firm.
"This suit is not suitable for going to the village."
When getting off the car, Ding Yinan handed him the pocket containing Huo Zhixiao's clothes, then pointed to the other pocket in his hand with his eyes. It was the dark green suit that Huo Zhixiao had chosen for him just now, and the fabric and style could be used directly as a dress.
"I'll go back later." Ding Yinan said.
"Why do you want to withdraw?" Huo Zhixiao frowned slightly, "Didn't I choose well for you?"
"No." Ding Yinan said, "It's not suitable to wear to meet the village committee secretary."
"Then wear it later."
Ding Yinan didn't respond, he couldn't judge whether Huo Zhixiao's anomaly today was because he had sex with him last night, or because of a setback in his career. In this case, he doesn't think it's a good choice to let the boss pay for him.
The two stalemate in silence for a while, and finally Huo Zhixiao spoke first: "Ding Zhu."
His voice was not as strong as before, with a trace of imperceptible fatigue, "I'm already bad enough, are you going against me too?"
Ding Yinan pursed his lips, and subconsciously wanted to list his legitimate reasons for doing so as before. But it suddenly occurred to him that once a matter is related to personal emotions, the so-called legitimate reasons will only become empty truths.
Just like his love affair with Han Shuo, Han Shuo was often dissatisfied that his work took up too much time, and he listed his work one by one, trying to prove that his working time could no longer be compressed, but no matter what Dispel Han Shuo's dissatisfaction.
"I spend money as I want." Huo Zhixiao said, "Is this so difficult?"
Ding Yinan was silent for a while, and did not refute. He said "Got it", and then said, "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
Huo Zhixiao was venting.
When Ding Yinan came to this conclusion, the knot in his heart was instantly resolved.
Alcohol, sex, money, in the fields that Huo Zhixiao can control, he hopes to do whatever he wants. Whether it's sleeping with Ding Yinan, or spending money lavishly, it's all to divert attention from those bad things.
In fact, Ding Yinan is also the same. Is he drinking and having sex with Huo Zhixiao for fun? Of course not, he was also venting, but his savings did not allow him to spend like Huo Zhixiao.
He also said to take an annual leave to relax, but he just returned from a business trip and had to go to another place for a business trip.
Fortunately, after finding out Huo Zhixiao's motives, Ding Yinan finally felt a lot more relieved, and was not as worried as before that his work would go off track.
Due to a delay in going to the clothing store, Ding Yinan went home to buy vegetables, cook, and pack the luggage for the next day's business trip. After finishing these trivial chores, it was already evening. He took out the storage box he bought from the supermarket and began to organize Han Shuo's belongings.
Usually, Ding Yinan paid great attention to storage. He always organized the underwear and socks of the two of them in separate categories, but every time Han Shuo took them out for use, they still made a mess.
The two lived together for a whole year, and apart from clothes, there were some things that could no longer be divided between you and me. Ding Yinan could only patiently recall which things were paid by Han Shuo.
Reminiscing and reminiscing, it is inevitable to become sad.
Ding Yinan is not a cold-blooded animal. Although his balance is obviously inclined to rationality, he also feels sad when he is hurt. The relationship of more than a year was wasted like this, and my heart seemed to be hollowed out, and nothing could fill it.
But returning to rationality, Ding Yinan also knew that he could only look forward. There was an irreconcilable conflict between him and Han Shuo, and it could be treated as if nothing happened by relying on memories to make up for it.
Halfway through sorting out the items, there was the sound of the electronic lock unlocking from the door.
Han Shuo hurriedly walked into the house, put down his suitcase and hugged Ding Yinan into his arms.
"Wife." He buried himself in Ding Yinan's neck and let out a muffled cry. He is taller than Ding Yinan, and he looks extremely aggrieved when he bends over.
In the past, Ding Yinan liked this very much. He was always helpless against Han Shuo's acting like a baby. But until now, he just took a deep breath and said two words coldly: "Release."
Not only did Han Shuo not loosen, but he increased his strength on the contrary, as if he was convinced that Ding Yinan could do nothing about him.
"I'll count to three." This was a sign of Ding Yinan's anger, "Three."
Finally, Ding Yinan counted to one before Han Shuo let go of him slowly.
"Honey, are you really sleeping with your boss?" Han Shuo looked at Ding Yinan with cautious expectation in his eyes.
Ding Yinan came to the sofa and sat down, and replied blankly: "Yes."
The bubble of anticipation was mercilessly burst. Han Shuo exhaled heavily and said to himself, "I knew it."
Ding Yinan frowned upon hearing this.
"You spend so much time with him every day, how could nothing happen?"
"What do you mean?" Ding Yinan looked at Han Shuo incredulously, feeling a chill in his heart.
"You two should sleep often." Han Shuo smiled wryly, "We're even, so let's start over, okay?"
"Han Shuo," Ding Yinan suppressed his anger, "You mean, I often sleep with him so that I can get even with you?"
"What?" Han Shuo was stunned, apparently unable to understand the meaning of Ding Yinan's words.
"Forget it." Ding Yinan breathed out, "Let's break up, I don't want to talk to you anymore."
"Don't break up." Han Shuo's expression flashed a flash of panic, "Honey, you still like me, right? We can start over."
"Don't call me wife again." Ding Yinan said, "You move out for me today."
"I don't." Han Shuo simply threw Ding Yinan down, "I was wrong, so please forgive me, okay?"
Come to this trick again.
Whenever Han Shuo was in a bad situation, he always liked to play tricks and fool around.
In the past, Ding Yinan didn't care about him, but today is different, Ding Yinan has no interest in Han Shuo.
"Don't touch me." Ding Yinan grabbed a pillow and threw it on Han Shuo's face, knocking him on the spot.
"I'll go if you don't." Ding Yinan got up and picked up the luggage he had packed in advance, "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, and I don't want to see you again when I come back."
