The next morning, in the president's office on the 21st floor of Huaan Hotel.
When An Luo knocked on the door of the office, An Yu Dong was on the phone. When An Luo came in, he pointed to the sofa in the corner and motioned An Luo to sit down first. After the call, An Yu Dong smiled and looked at An Luo and asked. Said: "Xiao Luo, do you have something to do with me?"
An Luo nodded, "Dad, I want to hire an assistant."
An Yudong was a little surprised. After a moment of silence, he said, "It was my negligence. I should have sent an assistant to you. Why don't I send Xiao Zhou to your side to help?"
An Luo said: "No need, let's find another one. I like quieter people."
An Yudong thought for a while and said, "Okay, then you can decide for yourself. The company is recruiting a new batch of employees these days, you can see if there are any suitable ones."
An Luo nodded, "Okay."
The reason why he didn't want to transfer people directly from the company was because An Luo knew very well that the hotel was full of his father's eyeliner, and transferring people from his side might just be convenient for him to monitor his actions.
An Luo went to the Personnel Department to bring the list of the new batch of employees who passed the initial exam. He went back to the office and looked at it carefully. He picked out a few accounting graduates, and asked the Personnel Department to notify them. Come and interview in person.
Hua'an Hotel's recruitment is very strict every year. After passing the test at every level, all the outstanding talents are left behind. After the written test, the first test, and the second test, only two young girls were left.
An Luo asked the two of them to come to the vice president's office for an interview. The girl named Yu Tingting has a docile and well-behaved personality, and she has a cute smile. She can say the key points in the simplest words, and she is very spiritual. Another woman named Zhu Lin is a typical working woman. She is decisive, with a very confident expression on her face, and has two years of working experience as a financial director.
An Luo sat on the swivel chair and frowned slightly, read the resume again, then looked up at them, and said lightly: "Being my assistant requires a strong shorthand ability, give you half a minute, and you can re-read your resume. , and then write it out silently for me, word for word."
It was difficult to memorize a thousand-word resume in half a minute, and An Luo's requirement to "tell every word" was even more difficult, which made the two people who participated in the interview nervous.
"Start the timer now." An Luo stopped talking nonsense and pushed the information from the table to them.
Half a minute later, the two took the pen and paper handed over by An Luo and began to write silently. Yu Tingting stopped and stopped writing, apparently not fully memorizing it, but Zhu Lin was very confident, and she finished writing quickly like water.
An Luo took back the answers from the two of them, glanced at it lightly, and turned to look at Zhu Lin, "Miss Zhu, what you wrote by hand is almost exactly the same as on your resume. It's really rare that you have such a good memory."
A confident smile appeared on Zhu Lin's lips. Just as she was about to speak, An Luo suddenly said, "But Miss Zhu, you can go out. I don't think the position of assistant is suitable for you."
The smile suddenly froze on her lips. Zhu Lin looked at An Luo in surprise, and suppressed her grievance and anger and said, "An can tell me, what is wrong with me?"
An Luo said: "You did a good job, it's just that I don't like perfectionists."
Such a perfunctory answer made Zhu Lin pale. After a moment of silence, she picked up her handbag and turned away.
An Luo got up and nodded to the stunned Yu Tingting, "You have been accepted, and report to the Personnel Department this afternoon."
Yu Tingting's face was as shocked as Zhu Lin's. After a while, she asked suspiciously, "Uh, Mr. An... Obviously she is better than me... Why did you choose me?"
An Luo was silent for a while, then whispered: "Few people can write down their resumes without omission, usually there are only two kinds of people who can do this, one is obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the other is a commercial espionage. ."
"… "
An Luo looked up at her, "Now understand why I accepted you?"
Yu Tingting swallowed hard, "...Understood."
An Luo nodded, "I will need your help in many places in the future. I only have one requirement for my assistant, don't ask more questions that shouldn't be asked, don't say more things that shouldn't be said, you just need to follow my request. Do your part. Got it?"
"… I know, I will try my best."
"Well, I'll give you a task. Go to the Finance Office to get the company's financial statements for the past few years, sort out a summary table for me as soon as possible, and give it to me by this Friday at the latest."
"OK."
After Yu Tingting walked out of the office, she could not help but let out a long sigh. This boss is so young and handsome, but his personality is really uncomplimentable. His face is like a layer of frost, and his eyes are as cold as ice arrows. It is really unimaginable. The way he laughs...it's scary.
An Luo in the office had no idea that the subordinates who had just been admitted were trying hard to imagine him smiling.
In fact, he has become accustomed to this expressionless expression. He only needs to cooperate for a common goal at work, and does not need to care about other aspects. He never treats colleagues as friends. In An Luo's concept, fundamental no friends.
It's just that at this moment, sitting alone in the office, watching the people coming and going on the street downstairs, An Luo suddenly felt a little dazed. He has found a way to pull out the fox's tail, but then what? Even if you find out the truth and leave alone, where should you go? The lonely An Luo who no longer has friends and relatives, may be even more miserable than the last life.
An Luo couldn't help frowning, thinking it was ridiculous to think that he had just popped up.
He has always been a person who is not easy to be sad, but for some reason, his mood has been very low recently. It may be due to the influence of An Ze. Although he knows that An Ze hates him is a normal reaction, he can bear this kind of brother An Ze. The skin was hated by An Ze all day long, and An Luo was actually not feeling well. Every day I saw him at home, and when I met his cold eyes, I felt a tingling in my chest...
Sitting silently in the office for a while, An Luo looked at his watch, it was already lunch time, and just as he was hungry, An Luo took the elevator downstairs and planned to eat lunch alone.
Opposite the Hua An Hotel is a large ten-storey shopping mall. The entire first floor of the third floor is arranged as a food court. Western food, Chinese food, hot pot, stir-fried vegetables, all kinds of tastes are readily available, and there is a large area. buffet.
An Luo took the walking ladder to the third floor, and glanced around for a week. He found that many stores were unfamiliar, and he didn't know if they were suitable for his taste. It seemed that the cafeteria was more pleasing to the eye. An Luo walked into the cafeteria, paid the money at the service counter at the entrance, then took a plate and went to the food area to pick something to eat.
When walking to the dessert area, An Luo immediately took a fancy to the matcha cake placed opposite. Obviously, this type of cake is very popular. There are only two pieces left in the full layer of cake. An Luo walked quickly. Walking over, another piece of cake was taken away by a young mother with a child, and only the last piece was left...
An Luo hurriedly picked up the clip. Unexpectedly, someone took the lead as if he had a good heart, and quickly and accurately took away the last piece of matcha cake.
An Luo looked up to see who that person was, but the moment he looked up, he suddenly froze in place.
It's him…
Obviously, An Ze didn't expect to meet An Luo here. After a while, he asked, "Are you here to eat too?"
An Luo replied in a low voice, "Well... are you too?"
Extremely childish questions, and more childish answers. Maybe both of them don't quite understand why they feel so nervous that they don't know how to speak when facing each other.
After a moment of silence, An Ze put the cake on An Luo's plate and said, "Let's sit together, I'll take a seat over there."
An Luo looked around and found that it was difficult to find a vacant seat in the cafeteria at this time, so he nodded and followed Anze's footsteps.
The two sat down by the window in the corner, and the table was already filled with various foods. In addition to several special side dishes, there were also seafood such as oysters that were hard to get. An Ze raised his head and said, "I took a lot, and I can't finish it all by myself. Help me eat it together." Then he pushed a few plates to An Luo's side.
An Luo looked at the various foods in front of him, and couldn't help but ask doubtfully, "How can you eat so much by yourself?"
An Ze said lightly, "It's probably a habit."
"Habit?"
"Well, my brother and I have been here several times before." Anze's voice sounded a little sad because of the lowered voice, "Every time my brother eats a buffet, he only takes two dishes and takes the things he brings. After eating it completely, I get up to get something else. I am different. I like to take a lot at a time, put it on the table, and eat it slowly. In fact, I do this just to have more opportunities to spend with him. Get along and try to waste as little time as possible going back and forth to get food.”
"The matcha cake here is delicious and of course it's very popular. When I pass by the dessert area, I will grab a piece for him... Every time I invited him to eat here before, I would take the food for him, these are his I love to eat, maybe I'm used to it, when I came alone today, I couldn't help but take more."
An Ze raised the corners of his lips slightly and pulled out a smile.
But that kind of smile, in An Luo's eyes, was even uglier than crying.
An Luo can even imagine An Ze's sadness. Facing someone exactly like his brother, he tells about the past with his brother. Every word he says brings those vivid memories back to his mind. To this familiar face, telling the once warm story is undoubtedly the cruelest torture for him.
Looking at the food on the table that he also likes to eat, An Luo couldn't eat a single bite. His chest was as heavy as a boulder, and even breathing became difficult.
An Ze looked up at An Luo with a stiff face. After a long silence, he whispered, "Actually, An Luo, I don't hate you."
"… "
"Just because you have a similar personality and habits to my brother, I can't hate you. And to be sensible, it's not your fault that my brother's accident is not your fault. In fact, you who came to this world inexplicably, my brother Also, a victim."
"..." An Ze's words seemed to directly pierce An Luo's weakness, making An Luo's heart feel sour for a while. After death, he came to another world inexplicably and struggled to survive in a completely unfamiliar environment... Compared with An Luo who died directly, An Luo who survived in this way was more difficult.
"An Luo, you said... Is there a possibility that you and my brother are actually the same person?" An Ze said softly, "You lost part of your memory when you were seven years old. After being kidnapped this time, you were seriously injured and lost again. Memory, maybe two amnesias, causing confusion in your memory..."
"Impossible." An Luo frowned and interrupted him, "I remember everything about myself from childhood to adulthood very clearly, without the slightest confusion, even if the memory is confused, it is impossible to think of another person's complete life. Besides, you I should have checked, I am indeed another An Luo."
An Ze looked at him and was silent for a long time before he said, "I know, but I'm just a little unwilling."
"… "
"Sorry, I don't want to regard you as his substitute. In my heart, no one can take the place of my brother..." Anze paused and said in a low voice, "After you find out the truth, you will Get out of here, right?"
An Luo nodded, "Of course. As for the truth about your brother's kidnapping, I think there will be an answer soon."
An Ze raised the corner of his lips gently, "It's good to let him rest his eyes if he can know the truth. Unfortunately... my brother is no longer there, and even if the murderer is found, he will not be able to come back."
An Ze stood up, looked at An Luo, and said word by word: "Since you are sure that you are not him, then... we should not meet again. An Luo, I don't hate you, but I don't either. way to treat you as a friend..."
"Tomorrow, I will move from Anjia."
After An Ze said this, he turned and left decisively, as if he no longer had any nostalgia.
An Luo sat in the corner and looked at his back, and he actually felt that his heart was being squeezed fiercely. I don't know if the mist in his eyes blurred his vision, and his back became hazy in his field of vision. There were people coming and going in the cafeteria at noon, but at that moment, An Luo felt a sudden shock in his mind. A blank space.
He remembered the previous dream again. In the blurry dream, An Ze was like this. Step by step, he slowly walked out of his field of vision. His tall and straight back gradually disappeared in front of him. He left so decisively that he never looked back.
He thought that he was open and honest about this today because he had changed his outlook on himself. When he first started telling his brother's story, An Luo even thought that An Ze was finally willing to let go of the burdens of the past and start a new life. But he didn't expect that he just said the words that had been suppressed in his heart, and then made a final goodbye to himself.
What he meant was obvious, he would always have only his brother in his heart. Even if An Luo had the appearance of his brother, he would never be able to take the place of his brother. Therefore, he decided to make a clean break with this An Luo, and from now on, they would be strangers.
His brother, he will keep it in his heart, miss and cherish forever.
An Luo suddenly wanted to laugh, but his stiff face was unable to pull out a smile.
Although that An Luo had passed away, An Ze loved him so sincerely and deeply. If it were him, even if he died suddenly one day, no one would come to visit the grave.
Although that An Luo has passed away, he will always be imprinted in An Ze's heart and miss him day and night. And this An Luo was sitting in front of him alive, but to An Ze, he was just an irrelevant, stranger.
