Five years later.
Xue Chong sat in front of the computer, rubbed his eyes tiredly, then got up to get a glass of cold water. After returning to his seat, Xue Chong didn't work any more. Instead, he left the keyboard with his hands and pressed his temples, intending to let his eyes rest for a while.
Xue Chong is now working in a branch of a listed state-owned enterprise. The company is very large, and the salary is twice as high as that of ordinary companies. However, at the same time, the pressure on his shoulders is several times that of ordinary companies.
Recently, the company has exposed a scandal of bosses sexually harassing subordinates, and it's not just one person. At first glance, it seems that the matter is small, but its nature is extremely bad, and it has a great impact on the company's image.
However, the high-level decision-making was quick, and the boss had already been removed from his position and someone else was appointed.
Xue Chong's hands left the keyboard, and his colleague Li Jia, who was sitting on his left, turned around, looked over, and jokingly said, "Tsk tsk, it's really strange that our workaholics actually stopped."
Xue Chong has no hobbies. As for the only hobby, he stopped playing it when he graduated five years ago. So Xue Chong, who doesn't have any hobbies, usually works except for work.
At the beginning, colleagues in the company thought that Xue Chong was looking for a promotion and salary increase, but after a long time, they found that Xue Chong had no intention of getting a promotion at all, because he never flattered his boss. Ingratiating yourself to your boss is a necessary step in getting promoted.
Ever since, rumors that Xue Chong was a workaholic spread throughout the company, and because of this rumor, many women were attracted.
He only knows how to make money, does not entertain, does not smoke or drink, has no bad habits, and Xue Chong is 181 tall, and his appearance is barely passable. These conditions add up to a perfect man!
After Li Jia finished joking, Xue Chong ignored him. Li Jia then raised his eyebrows at him, motioned to Chu Qianyi who was diagonally on the left, then looked away, and whispered to Xue Chong: "Hey, Xue Chong, did you see it just now? That Miss Chu peeked at you at least three times just now."
Xue Chong did not follow Li Jia's direction to look in Chu Qianyi's direction, but opened his eyes, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Jia instead, and asked calmly, "So, what do you want to say? "
Xue Chongming's conditions are good, but he is still single. Li Jia thinks that this is the reason for Xue Chong's dullness. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chu Qianyi likes him, but he is still here asking why
Li Jia said with a bit of resentment: "What's the reason? The situation is already very clear, Miss Chu is interested in you! How about it, do you want to develop it?" Miss Chu is handsome and has a good figure , is simply the dream lover of all the men in our office. If you miss it, there will be no next one. "
Xue Chong was not surprised by Li Jia's words. He looked away with a look of lack of interest, and said lightly: "No, I'm not interested. If you like it, you can fight for it yourself."
When Li Jia heard this, his eyes widened in a daze, and then he asked back with a look of extreme incomprehension: "No, I don't understand, you don't even like Miss Chu? What exactly do you like?" like?"
Xue Chong said without turning his head: "No, I am not good enough for her."
Unexpectedly, Xue Chong would answer like this, Li Jia was stunned, and it took him a long time to come to his senses, and then he was even more confused, "You don't smoke or drink, and you don't have a beer belly, you are tall and look good... Although Miss Chu is not bad, she is not at the level of a fairy, why can't she be good enough? You are already twenty-five, find a girlfriend, talk for two years, and then get married, just in time. Delay If you go down, you will really become an old bachelor."
Xue Chong looked indifferent, in short, "Personal reasons."
Li Jia saw that Xue Chong obviously didn't want to talk more about this issue, so he muttered and changed the subject wisely.
Then, Li Jia seemed to think of something, suddenly lowered his voice, and said to Xue Chong with a gossipy face: "I just got a secret gossip, do you want to know? If you want to..."
Before Li Jia could finish speaking, Xue Chong replied without thinking, "I don't want to."
Li Jia's eyes widened again, "Hey, why are you so boring? If you cooperate once, I will die. I don't care. If you don't want to know, I will tell you."
Xue Chong, who had expected such a situation earlier, did not speak.
Li Jia looked up and looked around for a while, seeing that no one was paying attention, then lowered his voice again, and then said: "When I passed Fatty Xu's office just now, I heard him answering the phone, it seems that he was sent by the head office The new boss will arrive tomorrow. I still vaguely heard that it seems to be someone from Q University, and his name is Qin... By the way, isn’t Xue Chong from Q University? Do you know who it is?"
Xue Chong quietly stared at the computer screen in front of him, and was silent for a long time.
Seeing Xue Chong looking at the computer screen and not speaking for a long time, Li Jia asked strangely: "... Xue Chong?"
Li Jia's voice brought Xue Chong back to his thoughts, Xue Chong regained consciousness, and then quietly replied, "... I don't know."
Li Jia didn't think too much about Xue Chong's strangeness, he sighed, and then said: "That's right, there are so many people in the school, who knows how many people with the surname Qin are there? And those who graduated five years ago can become the boss, Certainly not ordinary people. According to your taciturn temperament, I am afraid that you know other people, but others do not know you. "
Xue Chong was silent and did not reply.
After Li Jia finished speaking, he couldn't help sighing, "Others can be bosses, but we can only be low-level employees at the bottom. Hey, this is the gap..."
Xue Chong lowered his eyes quietly and didn't say another word.
※※※※※
When it was time to get off work, Xue Chong got up and turned off the computer, and was about to leave. Chu Qianyi, who had been sitting on the seat waiting for a long time, immediately stood up, called Xue Chong, and said, "Xue Chong, wait, let's go down together !"
Xue Chong paused and looked back at her. Although Xue Chong didn't have any feelings for Chu Qianyi, he still had the minimum courtesy.
Chu Qianyi's eyes lit up, she quietly adjusted the corners of her skirt, and hurriedly followed Xue Chong's footsteps.
The two walked all the way to the elevator and waited for the elevator to go up. The current floor of the two is on the seventeenth floor, and it will take a while to wait for the elevator to arrive.
Xue Chong has never been a talkative person, so he stood in front of the elevator door and waited quietly without saying a word. Chu Qianyi at the side quietly glanced at Xue Chong, who was keeping a safe distance from her with a cold face, and felt more and more satisfied the more he watched.
Xue Chong's height is 181cm, and her height is 167cm, which is a perfect match. And in this company, there are very few men who can take the initiative to keep a safe distance from her.
Chu Qianyi coughed unnaturally, and started to talk about it, "Did you watch the recent movie "Trek"? I think the special effects of this movie are simply exquisite. I watched it in the cinema wearing 3D glasses. At the time, I thought it was real."
Xue Chong looked calm, "Sorry, I don't usually watch movies much."
Chu Qianyi doesn't usually watch movies very much, but this sci-fi movie was the one her best friend forced her to watch last night. But now that she finally got a reply from Xue Chong, she suddenly felt that the two hours last night were worth it.
Chu Qianyi raised her eyebrows, and followed Xue Chong's words, "Oh? Don't you watch movies? Then what do you usually do?"
Xue Chong replied quietly: "Reading."
Hearing this, Chu Qianyi was surprised for a while. After being surprised, the eyes that looked at Xue Chong almost lit up.
——He is simply the best man!
Suddenly, with a sound of 'ding—', the elevator arrived at the floor where the two were. Xue Chong walked in first, and after pressing 1, he looked back at Chu Qianyi.
Chu Qianyi smiled slightly at Xue Chong and said, "Same."
After listening, Xue Chong pressed the switch. After the elevator doors closed, the elevator began to descend slowly from floor to floor.
After Xue Chong answered the word "reading the book", he didn't speak again. Chu Qianyi was still thinking about the topic, and when she was thinking about what to talk about next, the elevator reached the first floor before she knew it.
With the sound of the elevator "ding-" again, the elevator door slowly opened in response, Chu Qianyi saw Xue Chong raised his foot and was about to get out of the elevator, she was anxious, and immediately blurted out without thinking: "Xue Chong, I want to treat you to dinner!"
After Chu Qianyi finished speaking, Xue Chong stopped, not because of her words, but because of the people standing outside the elevator door.
Outside the elevator door, several shareholders of the branch came over surrounded by a man in a suit and leather shoes, with obvious flattery and compliments on his face. The men surrounded by them had no expression on their faces, and were indifferent to the flattery of several shareholders who were almost a year older than him.
But the moment the elevator opened, the man finally reacted after seeing the people in the elevator. His steps stopped suddenly.
Before the man could speak, the surrounding shareholders followed the man's gaze and reacted quickly. One of them said, "Boss Qin, this is an employee of our company."
Qin Chuan glanced in Xue Chong's direction, and then asked casually, "Does the company allow romance in the office?"
The man couldn't figure out what Qin Chuan was thinking, so he rubbed his sweat secretly, and said embarrassingly: "We didn't order to prohibit dating in the office, if Qin is always worried that it will affect the efficiency of work, we will inform the company tomorrow all employees."
Qin Chuan gave a faint grace, expressing his consent.
But immediately, the man hesitated and said: "If you are already together, do you want to divide...?"
Qin Chuan stared at Xue Chong's direction, and said in a solemn voice with no expression on his face: "Either break up or leave."
The man hurriedly answered yes.
Xue Chong glanced at Qin Chuan, looked away quietly, and said "next time if you have time" without looking back, and then walked past Qin Chuan without looking sideways.
Qin Chuan looked at Chu Qianyi who was trotting behind Xue Chong, indifferently.
That night, Xue Chong sat alone on the sofa in the living room, silent for a long time.
