Shen Mi's head made a buzzing sound, and his brain went blank in an instant.
Why.
Why did Xie Rongzhuo know what she had said to her master about him
The elevator door was about to close, and Xie Rongzhuo reached out and pressed it.
"Shen Mi."
Shen Mi raised his head like a puppet: "Here."
Xie Rongzhuo stood outside, looking down at her: "How long are you going to stay in there?"
Shen Mi was in a state of confusion, and it felt like he was stepping on cotton, with a sense of unreality.
Walking out of the revolving door, the cold wind blew mercilessly across her cheeks. Shen Mi's scarf came loose, and the biting cold wind blew into her collar, and she woke up with a start.
Holding on to the last bit of luck, he said, "Boss, are you kidding me? How could you be a scumbag?"
After saying this, Shen Mi tensed up and didn't miss any expression on Xie Rongzhuo's face.
"Yeah." There was no emotion on Xie Rongzhuo's face.
As if he couldn't wait to break her thoughts, he didn't give her any chance to imagine, and said slowly: "I'm also curious, who did I cheat on? My good disciple."
The moment he got the answer, Shen Mi felt like he was struck by lightning and even forgot to blink.
In just a few tens of seconds, Shen Mi went over in her mind all the bad things she had done in the past four years.
After recovering from the shock of knowing that Xie Rongzhuo was his master, Shen Mi was hit hard by another fact—
She complained about him in front of Xie Rongzhuo many times, saying bad things about him!!! Although those words were not particularly irreparable, but... it was really embarrassing!!!
When she thought about how she had complained about Xie Rongzhuo in front of him in the past few months, she wanted to tie herself to a rocket and launch herself into outer space! !
No, it shouldn't be like this.
Something is wrong.
Shen Mi reacted—
But Xie Rongzhuo knew it! Why didn't he tell her if he knew it
It's interesting to see her being tortured by him every day and then complaining to him behind his back?
Isn't it fun to play tricks on her and watch her make a fool of herself
Shen Mi gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and turned his face away.
Xie Rongzhuo lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him. She turned her head away and looked to the other side. The ends of her ponytail fell behind her head, and the slightly curly hair was blown by the wind and tangled on her cheeks. Half of her face was wrapped in a scarf. From his perspective, he could only see her trembling eyelashes. He raised his head and could actually see the expression on her face through the mirrored wall behind her.
Her expression changed again and again, sometimes annoyed, sometimes gritting her teeth, and finally she snorted and laughed, then she restrained her expression and returned to normal.
Xie Rongzhuo suddenly found it a little difficult to guess what she was thinking.
On the day they met, he was going to tell her his name. But when he saw the comment "You can tell he's a scumbag at first glance", Xie Rongzhuo sneered and deleted the words in the chat box.
He had held back until now because he didn't want to shatter the little girl's fantasy.
Unexpectedly, she would fall deeper and deeper into the guy on the Internet.
Even unwilling to face reality.
Since it is fake, it will naturally be replaced by the real one.
"Are you waiting for me to coax you, Shen Mi?"
Shen Mi picked up the scarf that had fallen on his arm and threw it back as if he was throwing someone away. Then he raised his head, raised the corners of his mouth, and said in a pleasant voice: "How dare I?"
Xie Rongzhuo: "Just say whatever you want to say."
"It's my honor to be your plaything." Shen Mi tilted her head and smiled coquettishly: "You rich people have such a wide range of interests and hobbies."
"It sounds weird. It seems that he is very angry."
Xie Rongzhuo stared at her straight in the face: "Why don't we review the situation and see who should appease whom? Are you angry again?"
"I'm not angry." Shen Mi walked towards the car holding the documents.
She has professional qualities, okay
Xie Rongzhuo came over and put his arm on the car door: "Are you going to wait until after get off work to lose your temper?"
Shen Mi managed his facial expression and smiled: "We'll talk about it after work."
Xie Rongzhuo's eyelids twitched.
In the past few nights, the little girl's whining and complaining could be heard all the time.
Even when she was frozen by the cold air, she could still curse the sky for more than an hour. She couldn't imagine being "cheated".
"Forget it, I'll coax you."
She won’t accept it!!
Shen Mi slammed the car door shut, walked around to the other side and got in.
"Oops, did I use too much force?" She leaned out and met Xie Rongzhuo's gaze with cautious eyes.
Lao Zhou: “No…”
Suddenly he remembered that the car was not his, and glanced at Xie Rongzhuo secretly.
Xie Rongzhuo sneered, opened the car door, bent down and sat in.
Shen Mi kept reminding himself to separate public and private matters, and flipped through the interview script. Xie Rongzhuo had originally not accepted this kind of interview, but this time he agreed very suddenly. Shen Mi had only received the notice in the morning, so he could only check the script with the TV station on the way.
"Reporter Liu, this is what I mean. I think Article 5 is unreasonable..."
“Title IX touches on privacy.”
"Article 12: Mr. Xie will not answer questions related to love."
Shen Mi couldn't understand why Xie Rongzhuo suddenly accepted this kind of interview. These questions were not professional at all. It was obvious that Liu Yafeng was using the gimmick of a financial genius to attract traffic and asked some weird gossip questions.
As soon as Shen Mi received the notice in the morning, he watched the two interviews of this reporter. At first, he admired her courage. Later, he found that after the interview became popular, she began to set up traps for financial tycoons and use the traffic to hype up the popularity, so Shen Mi was highly alert to this interview.
Shen Mi got furious when he noticed that there were criteria for choosing a spouse and requirements for his girlfriend's figure.
What kind of a sh*t interview is this
This kind of topic is inherently sensitive, and once it is magnified it will seriously affect Xie Rongzhuo's image.
Shen Mi admitted that she was indeed emotional at the moment, but the reason she couldn't suppress her emotions was that the other party's manuscript did not respect Xie Rongzhuo's profession at all, and she strongly requested a rewrite.
The other party said in a light tone: "Secretary Shen, Mr. Xie should have read this interview transcript, right? Then I am a little curious. Mr. Xie has read it and has no opinion, but it is you, Secretary Shen, who have an opinion. Who should I listen to?"
Use Xie Rongzhuo to pressure her
"Listen to me." Shen Mi's face turned cold.
Xie Rongzhuo glanced at her.
"My boss is very busy. If he has to decide all the trivial matters, what's the point of hiring me, right? If you are not satisfied, you can ask your leader to communicate with my boss personally, or you can cancel the interview directly." Shen Mi's tone was polite, but his words were not polite.
After hanging up the phone, she handed the half-crossed-out script to Xie Rongzhuo for review. Xie Rongzhuo didn't take it: "You have the final say."
"… "
"Go back to the company."
"Okay." Old Zhou wanted to give Xie Rongzhuo a thumbs up on the spot. He deserves to be single for pursuing a girl like this!
*
Shen Mi waited until the end of the get off work day absent-mindedly. When the time came, he picked up his bag and left.
She walked a long way and stopped a car on the roadside. The driver asked her where she was going, and she said the beach. Suicheng is a coastal city, but not by the sea. The driver drove for more than an hour, and when he paid the fare, Shen Mi immediately regretted it.
Never mind. Just this once.
She will never fall in love again next time.
She was heartbroken.
Online dating failed.
She wrapped her scarf tightly and walked all the way to the overpass.
Thick clouds covered the sea like soft cotton. A grand sunset burned the coastline in a fiery red and sprinkled pieces of gold on the sparkling water.
Shen Mi wanted to jump down and end it all.
Just think about it, she has just started paying social security, there is no way she is willing to die.
It’s heartbreak, so what is she panicking about
Is she in love with Xie Rongzhuo
The Internet is different from reality. What she likes is the way Xie Rongzhuo can lead her to victory in the game without any effort. Because she admires him for being strong, she has a deep filter for him. After constantly beautifying him in her brain, she imagines him as an ideal partner, a perfect lover she has made up.
That's right.
She doesn't like Xie Rongzhuo at all.
After successfully convincing himself, Shen Mi felt a little less panicked.
The evening breeze, carrying the smell of sea water, blew on his face. Shen Mi adjusted his thoughts and began to sort out the second question.
—Who is right and who is wrong between her and Xie Rongzhuo.
Thinking of Master... No, the netizen named Xie.
Thinking back to the first time the netizen named Xie asked her how she evaluated him, Shen Mi remembered that her answer was "scumbag".
If she was called a scumbag, she probably wouldn't admit it.
You can’t just say “I am that scumbag”, right
She was wrong about this, Shen Mi admitted.
But she said that based on her trust in the netizen surnamed Xie! She told him everything she knew, which was a frank attitude, but he stole information under a vest, which betrayed her trust!
Very good, no need to admit it.
Next question.
—Why did Xie Rongzhuo wear a vest to steal information
Could it be that he is interested in her
Shen Mi thought back to her dark skin and shabby appearance back then. How could Xie Rongzhuo, who was so picky, fall for her
It's hard to say.
Maybe Xie Rongzhuo is not the kind of person who is superficial and only looks at appearance
"… "
What is she doing? Because she liked the netizen named Xie, so she is here to help him add a filter
Don’t be love-brained and say no to self-strategy!
Shen Mi was ready to unpin Xie Rongzhuo's post.
Seeing the familiar avatar and those sweet chat records, I feel a little reluctant to leave.
No, not sweet at all!
Shen Mi quickly flipped through the chat history, and when these words appeared on Xie Rongzhuo's face, he instantly became cold.
On New Year's Eve, she spent more than an hour preparing a gift and stayed up all night to tell him Happy New Year. His cold "hmm" had nothing to do with sweetness!
It was all her one-sided flirting and Xie Rongzhuo was just trying to deal with her!
He took time out of his busy schedule to treat her favorably just because she was Zhang Zhiqing's friend and had saved Zhang Zhiqing!
She didn't even pay any attention to him, but she still acted like a spoiled child and said she was cold? If she was cold, couldn't she just drink some hot water by herself? Why was she whining?
Maybe Xie Rongzhuo is so annoyed with her that she is dying!
Oh, if he was really annoyed by her, he would still coax her a few words.
But from the beginning to the end, Xie Rongzhuo never accepted her hints. He refused to meet her and never used the microphone for voice calls. It was her who was so passionate and self-indulgent!!!
She was not in love at all, so how could she be heartbroken
… But since she didn't like Xie Rongzhuo, why did she mind so much? Was it because of her master
Xie Rongzhuo is arrogant and cold, while the master is gentle and considerate. It is difficult for Shen Mi to blend them together. But they are indeed the same person.
They were united, and she was about to break apart.
The problem has been brought back again.
The cold wind from the overpass blew over, and Shen Mi's thoughts, which had been sorted out with great difficulty, were messed up again.
A teacher once said that if you can't cut it and still can't sort it out, just ignore it.
Shen Mi raised his cell phone and took dozens of pictures of the seascape in one breath.
Now that we are here, we cannot return empty-handed.
A few minutes later, nine seascape pictures appeared on WeChat Moments.
Zhang Zhiqing liked the post: Wow! So beautiful! Where is this
Shen Mi was about to reply to her when Xie Rongzhuo's profile picture suddenly appeared in the likes list.
He still has the time to check his Moments
Is she the only one who is upset about this
In a fit of anger, Shen Mi unpinned his WeChat account.
Then I felt a little uncomfortable.
She has been so immersed in the role during this period that she has become accustomed to this ID being ranked first.
No rush, cancel it once you get used to it, Shen Mi thought.
As night fell, Shen Mi realized a serious problem: this place was too remote and it was difficult to get a taxi.
The cold wind blew through the fallen leaves, just like Shen Mi's mood at the moment, awkward and lonely.
The port lighthouse on the other side of the sea lit up, and the surrounding lights were bright, but Shen Mi had no intention of enjoying the night view. He stared at his low-battery phone and began to panic.
WeChat pops up a voice request of “dsm”.
Seeing the familiar ID and avatar, Shen Mi felt mixed emotions. It had only been a few hours, but it felt like a lifetime ago.
She hesitated for a few seconds and pressed the answer button.
"Come to the left intersection."
The owner of this WeChat account spoke to her for the first time with a cool and steady baritone voice.
"Shen Mi?"
"what."
"Look at the intersection on the left, come over."
Shen Mi turned his head and looked towards the intersection at the end of the overpass. He saw a black car with its double flashes on. It was Xie Rongzhuo's car.
"This is a one-way street. I'll go around and you walk slowly over here."
Shen Mi stood on the overpass for more than two hours in her stilettos. She was exhausted and felt her legs were about to break. She didn't get angry with her body and walked towards his position obediently.
The car was well heated. Shen Mi untied her scarf and turned to look out the window.
Xie Rongzhuo drove the car to the side of the road and parked. He reached out and handed Shen Mi a cup of hot coffee: "I haven't had it before."
"No, I can't sleep at night if I drink coffee."
Xie Rongzhuo: "Can you fall asleep tonight without drinking?"
"… "
Shen Mi took it with both hands: "Thank you."
Coconut milk was added to the coffee, which had a slightly sweet taste. Shen Mi drank a few sips and his body warmed up.
Xie Rongzhuo: "Do you want to hear my apology, or do you want me to coax you?"
Shen Mi: "Are you my boss or my master now?"
Xie Rongzhuo pursed his lips slightly, the lenses on his high nose bridge were dotted with flickering light and shadow, the lights inside the car cast a shadow on his tense jaw, and the atmosphere was a bit tense.
"Who do you want me to be?" he asked.
Shen Mi looked down at the lid of the coffee cup, her curled eyelashes trembling slightly, her cheeks flushed slightly from the cold, and she looked angry as if she was acting like a spoiled child: "I hope you will return my master to me."
"I'll give it to you." Xie Rongzhuo said seriously, "Do you dare to take it?"
