The next morning, as soon as Chen Xu arrived on the first floor of the company building, he met several colleagues from other departments who greeted him warmly. Out of politeness, he smiled back.
After going upstairs, everyone he met along the way, no matter whether he knew him or not, or whether he was familiar with him or not, would greet him. He really didn't expect that what happened yesterday would have such a big impact on the company.
Seemingly overnight, he became a celebrity in the company.
When he walked into the electronic marketing department, other colleagues surrounded him and asked about yesterday's events, which made it difficult for him to resist. It wasn't until Luo Xiyun came in that they dispersed and returned to their seats.
"Chen Xu, who are you going to go with for that two-person tour?" Dai Zixin said jokingly.
"Of course it's discounted."
Chen Xu replied without thinking.
Leaving aside the question of who to go to, as far as he knows, many of these tours have traps in them, and there is no explanation on whether to include round-trip air tickets. Who knows how many pitfalls there are, it is still true.
Waiting for him to participate in the darts competition next year and earn a lot of bonuses, he has money and leisure, so he can travel wherever he wants.
After discounting, there are 50,000 yuan, even after deducting taxes, it is 40,000 yuan, plus 20,000 yuan in year-end bonuses, plus the 20,000 yuan earned from opening the noodle shop in the past month, and the money you can get when you leave the job This month's salary is a total of 100,000.
It was the first time that his savings exceeded six figures, and he was simply flattered.
After the regular meeting, Chen Xu was about to inquire about how to receive yesterday's award, when Director Liu from the Finance Department came over to talk to him about receiving the award.
Chen Xu was very surprised. It was just a lottery draw for an annual meeting, but a director was actually invited to do it himself.
This should be the impact of Luo Xiyun's outburst yesterday.
The two went to the reception room to talk. Director Liu was very polite and asked him if he wanted to participate in this two-person tour or discount it.
Chen Xu said he wanted to cash in cash, and the other party immediately took out the relevant documents and asked him to sign, and said that the money will arrive in the account within today.
Chen Xu felt the unprecedented efficiency, and couldn't help sighing, the feeling of being covered by someone is just different. Finally, there is the question of paying taxes.
Director Liu said with a smile, "50,000 is after tax."
For a moment, Chen Xu was shaken by the idea of resigning. In the company, having Luo Xiyun's thigh to hug seems to be very promising.
This thought is also fleeting. Even if you have a future, you still rely on others to make things happen. How can it compare to a career built by relying on one's own ability.
In the past, I had no choice but to work for others. Now, he's up to himself.
...
For the next ten days, Chen Xu became more and more leisurely, and the work at hand was taken over by Old Tang. Old Tang also did similar work before, and he got started very quickly.
For the first time since going to work, he has nothing to do and, to be honest, a little bored.
Fortunately, those days are coming to an end soon.
On the day after completing the resignation procedures, he invited all his colleagues in the department to the noodle shop, cooked for them himself, and cooked two tables of dishes for them.
"Chen Xu, I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking."
Dai Zixin, who has the best relationship with him, was shocked after tasting his dishes, "No wonder you want to open a restaurant. With your skills, you will definitely succeed."
Other colleagues agreed one after another, and someone suggested, "At that time, if there is any party in the department, just eat at the restaurant opened by Chen Xu."
"Agreed, this level is not comparable to many big hotels."
Chen Xu said with a smile, "Okay, I'll give you a discount then."
Someone ridiculed, "I said Chen Xu, you are really mean. You have such a good craftsmanship, but you have been hiding it from others."
Dai Zixin said, "That's right, if I knew earlier, I would go to your house every day to eat."
Old Tang added quietly, "I have been working with him for two years, but I didn't even know he could cook."
For a while, other colleagues verbally attacked him one after another. They didn't let him go until he promised to open the shop and would treat them to another meal.
A meal took more than an hour to finish.
Everyone left quickly, only Old Tang stayed behind to help him clean up the mess.
Chen Xu washed the dishes inside, while Old Tang swept the floor outside.
"Chen Xu, the trash can where the garbage is dumped outside is..." Old Tang walked to the door with a garbage shovel in his hand, looked up, couldn't help being stunned, and forgot what he said later.
"Well, just put it there." Chen Xu replied, wondering why there was no sound, when he looked up, he was also stunned, and saw Luo Xiyun walking towards this side.
"Luo, Mr. Luo." Old Tang was so surprised that he couldn't speak clearly.
"Yeah." Luo Xiyun nodded towards him and walked towards the door.
Chen Xu never expected that she would appear here. For a while, he didn't know what to say.
"Well, I think I have something to do at home, so let's go first." Old Tang quickly dumped the rubbish into the trash can, and slipped away as he spoke.
In the noodle restaurant, there were only the two of them left, and the noisy barbecue stall next to it suddenly became much quieter. Those male customers were all attracted by Luo Xiyun. Some looked over boldly, while others glanced over secretly.
Luo Xiyun stood at the door, holding a white bag in his hand, looked it up a bit, and said, "I'm just here to take a look." After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
Only then did Chen Xu come to his senses, and blurted out, "It's already here, let's go after eating a bowl of noodles."
She stopped, looked back at him, nodded, walked to the table that had just been cleaned, glanced at the stool, and sat down.
Within a few minutes, Chen Xu came over with noodles, put them in front of her, and said, "This is my shop's signature fresh meat noodles." After speaking, he added, "I just took the chopsticks out of the disinfection cabinet. from."
Luo Xiyun silently took the chopsticks, took a bite of the noodles, there seemed to be some slight changes in his eyes, and there was an obvious pause in the movements of his hands.
"Why, it doesn't suit your taste?" Chen Xu asked seeing her like this.
She shook her head and said, "It tastes good."
Afterwards, she didn't speak any more, she ate a bowl of noodles slowly, put down her chopsticks, took out a tissue from her bag, wiped her mouth, stood up, and said, "I wish you a prosperous business."
"I'll see you off." Chen Xu said, got up and pulled down the shutter of the noodle restaurant, and told the owner of the barbecue stall next door to take care of him.
"Let's go."
The two walked out of the alley together, with a distance of 20 centimeters between them. Luo Xiyun didn't speak, and Chen Xu didn't know what to say, so he walked to the intersection silently.
A red Ferrari was parked by the side of the road, and he couldn't help asking, "Did you change the car?"
"Yeah." Luo Xiyun walked to the car door.
Looking at the red sports car, Chen Xu once again deeply felt the huge gap between the two that is invisible and intangible, but actually exists. This gap is so deep that it is daunting.
Luo Xiyun opened the door and got into the car.
A gust of cold wind blew, shaking Chen Xu's hair and stinging his cheeks, and after a while, he became numb again.
"Why help me?" He opened his mouth, and when he spoke, he exhaled white mist, which was blown away by the wind immediately.
Luo Xiyun had already grabbed the doorknob and was about to close the door. Hearing his question, she looked at the dashboard and said, "I just can't get used to it."
"Isn't there a little bit of concern?"
boom.
The car door closed with a buzz, and the low-pitched engine roared, as if venting.
Two seconds later, the car window suddenly opened a crack, the sound of the engine became quieter, and her voice came out, "Isn't it too late to ask now?"
As soon as the words were finished, the red Ferrari rushed out and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.
Chen Xu looked at the direction in which the car disappeared, with a smile on his face. In the cold wind, there seemed to be a small flame in his heart, which was warm.
S: As far as this book is written, it has nearly 250,000 words. I feel that the style is fairly unified.
I have always felt that reading a book is like falling in love with this book. When you fall in love at first sight (read it in one go) to get along with each other every day (chasing updates), you will gradually find that it has some shortcomings (slow rhythm, not fast enough updates), which is normal, who has no shortcomings
It is normal for your heart to gradually calm down and start to complain, quarrel, or even quarrel. Until one day, you find that you can't bear its shortcomings, and you threaten it, if you don't make changes, I will do something. However, if it has really changed as you said, is it still the book you liked at the beginning
Didn't you fall in love with it at the beginning because of its unique temperament? It may not be the prettiest, or the tallest, or the most stunning. But it must be unique. In the vast sea of books, you can recognize it at a glance. Now, you want it to be like every other kitsch fan, sorry it can't.
If you really can't bear it, you can try to put it aside and let the relationship cool down. You can leave it somewhere in your collection (the bookshelf), or you can forget about it. Wait until one day, you suddenly think of it, or meet again in the sea of books. Maybe, it can continue to lead the way.
If you're sick of it already. Then, you can tell it clearly, or you can leave silently. But please don't be mean. After all, it used to leave you with a good experience, didn't it
A peaceful breakup, everyone can leave good memories.
Don't turn against each other, as that will leave harm to each other.
If you do too much, maybe it will disappear into the vast sea of books like this. Maybe a few years later, you dream back in the middle of the night, wanting to get back that unique book, but in the end, you can only leave regrets.
Finally, I would like to thank those readers who have always liked this book. It is your likes that let me enjoy the joy of writing.
