I knew Ji Guanxin would definitely ask. Holding my phone, I hesitated for a few seconds and then replied: "This morning, 'Zhou Papi' broke a news saying that Luo Xiangdong has a new girlfriend. I suspect they are talking about me. , and it’s said to be coming out tomorrow, so I want to ask you to help block it.”
I was deliberately vague because I was afraid that Ji Guanxin would dig deeper, but without exception, as soon as I finished speaking, Ji Guanxin asked with great interest: "How did you guess that the other person was talking about you?"
I should have known a long time ago, Ji Guanxin Monkey Spirit, how could he not ask.
Pursing my lips, I replied bitterly: "It was the night you took me to Mai Jiahui's birthday party. Later, I went to dinner with Luo Xiangdong, drank some wine, and forgot to bring the key, so he sent me I went to the hotel, and I swear we both had nothing, and he left without even entering the room. I guess the reporter must have taken the photo and used it to make an article.”
When talking about Luo Xiangdong sending me to the hotel, I emphasized my tone for fear that Ji Guanxin wouldn't believe it.
Ji Guanwen said, and asked with a half-smile: "You said that you and Luo Xiangdong have a superior-subordinate relationship. I think it's more than that. There is no reason for a boss to drive a subordinate to pick up and drop off. Last time, he gave a warning like a mad dog. I, stay away from you, I won’t believe it even if you say there’s nothing wrong with you two.”
If it were other times, I would have ignored what Ji Guanxin said at worst, but now that he was under the eaves, I had to lower my head, not daring to bring any disrespect in my voice, and said softly: "Luo Xiangdong knows me. An elder took care of me because of his entrustment.”
Ji Guanxin broke the pot and asked, "Aren't you from Yecheng? What elders in your family do Luo Xiangdong know?"
I was almost exhausted by Ji Guanxin's aggressiveness, but at this moment he was the only life-saving straw I could turn to, so after weighing the balance, I still didn't dare to lose my temper, so I had to reply truthfully: "He knows the chairman of our department. ”
"Department chair?" Ji Guanxin's surprised and suspicious voice reached my ears through the mobile phone.
I said, "I'm telling the truth, and you can't help it if you don't believe me. I've said before that there is no personal relationship between man and woman between me and Luo Xiangdong. I'm afraid that everyone will misunderstand me after the reporter exposes it, so I have no choice but to come to you." help."
Although I said begging, my attitude was still a bit tough or even cold.
I secretly said in my heart that if Ji Guanxin asked one more question, the worst I could do was not beg him.
But after I finished speaking, Ji Guanxin was surprisingly cheerful, and he could only hear him reply: "I'll take care of the little things."
When I heard this, my eyes suddenly widened, and I couldn't help but said, "Can you help me?"
Ji Guanxin said: "It's just one sentence, how difficult is it?"
Ji Guanxin and I have only met twice in total, and this is the third time we have spoken. Based on my understanding of him, I am always afraid that he is unreliable, or that he is trying to trick me again, so I asked with some uncertainty, "But the news has already been released, and it's very specific. If the report doesn't come out tomorrow, wouldn't it be a lie?"
Ji Guanxin replied: "Sister, please worry more about yourself when you have time. If nothing happens between you and Luo Xiangdong, don't get along with him in the future. He looks like a human but is actually cruel at heart. , if you fall in love with him, I’ll take care of you and you won’t be able to cry anymore.”
I thought Ji Guanxin was deliberately defrauding me, so I quickly replied without even thinking about it: "Don't worry, it's impossible between me and him."
Ji Guanxin smiled and then said: "From now on, you can hang out with me, and if you have any problems, just come to me. I dare not say that anything in this world can be solved for you. I can only say that Luo Xiangdong can help you. I can do the same."
I feel that Ji Guanxin and Luo Xiangdong are not only sworn enemies in this life, but they must have been enemies in the previous life. Otherwise, they would say something bad about each other no matter how they meet, and they would like to make each other worthless.
Luo Xiangdong told me to stay away from Ji Guanxin, and now Ji Guanxin told me to stay away from Luo Xiangdong. I didn't dare to offend either of these two giant Buddhas, and I couldn't afford to offend them. I agreed casually and hung up the phone.
To be honest, although Ji Guanxin promised to help me deal with it, I didn't feel as relieved as I imagined.
After all, I still don't trust Ji Guanxin enough to help me.
After thinking about it for a while, I picked up my phone and called Luo Xiangdong again, but the response was still the same mechanical voice service: Sorry, the number you dialed has been turned off.
I frowned, feeling depressed. It seemed that I really had to leave it to fate this time.
I was on tenterhooks all day long. Several times I was seen by Guan Yue and Han Xuetong when I went out and greeted me. My first reaction was as if I was startled, as if I was a thief with a guilty conscience.
After finally getting off work in the evening, I took my bag and walked out of the office. I saw Guan Yue and Han Xuetong standing not far away. Guan Yue was giving an order to Han Xuetong. It sounded like he was asking her to have a meal with the boss of a certain company. By the way, Sign the contract.
I walked over, said hello, and then asked aloud: "Sister Guan Yue, is there anything I can do to help you?"
This whole day, I did nothing except worry in the office.
Guan Yue heard this and replied with a smile: "You just took office, and you should have let Xuetong take care of you, but Mr. Luo happened to be not in the company, and I don't know if Mr. Luo has other tasks for you, so these two days You take a break for now and wait until Mr. Luo comes back."
A secretary naturally does what a secretary should do, but from what Guan Yue said, it seemed as if I was here just for Luo Xiangdong's exclusive use.
I don't know if I'm overthinking it, or if Guan Yue can smile and say things that make people think naturally. I paused for a moment, then replied with a slight smile: "Okay, you are busy, I will leave first."
Sometimes when you are not sure what is going on in a person's heart, the best way is to remain unchanged in the face of changes.
If Guan Yue doesn't give me work, I'll have some free time.
Taking the elevator downstairs, I saw Dong Jianan, who had also just come out from get off work, at the entrance of Luo's. She was alone. When I was still in the translation department, it was me, Wang Huining, and her who acted together. Now that I am gone, she is not with Wang Huining, so she must be alone.
When I was hesitant to say hello to her, she accidentally turned her head and saw me. I quickly pretended to have just seen her, smiled and stretched out my hand to say hello: "Jianan."
Dong Jianan also smiled, looking embarrassed.
When I was in school, I didn't have much friendship with her. Even though we were in the same dormitory, because she didn't like to talk much, she was boring on weekdays and liked to be alone. When we went out to watch movies, eat, drink and have fun, She had already gone to the library to study with a stack of books.
Later, because I was cheated on by Chen Wenhang, and she and Xu Lu were the only ones in the dormitory at that time, we got together.
Thinking about it now, I seem to have always been more grateful than emotionally attached to her. After all, she was the one who accompanied me through the most difficult period of my life.
Thinking about it, I walked up to her, tried my best to smile as naturally as before, and said aloud: "Why are you alone and not with Sister Huining and the others?"
With a stiff and awkward smile on his face, Dong Jianan replied aloud: "Some of them have to work overtime, and some of them have appointments to go to dinner. I have something else to do, so I won't go with them."
I said, "I met Luzi two days ago and made several phone calls to you, wanting to ask you out. You happened to turn off your phone."
Dong Jianan quickly replied: "I saw it later and sent a text message to Xu Lu asking her what happened, but she didn't reply to me."
I thought to myself, with Xu Lu’s temper, she was away from Dong Jianan at the time, and how could Xu Lu ignore her as an afterthought.
I sighed secretly, the three of us used to have a good relationship, but now it has become like this because of me.
I know very well that Dong Jianan's character will not heal easily once there is a rift with me, but I still try to make up for it.
I asked: "Jianan, are you free tonight? Let's have a meal together."
When Dong Jianan heard this, the awkward smile on her face became more obvious. She said, "I made an appointment with someone else..."
When I saw her leaving half of her words behind, I felt a little unhappy inexplicably. I had stooped to such a low level. Did she really have to kneel down to her before she would forgive me
The smile in my eyes faded a bit, and I said calmly: "Oh, that's okay, you can go about your business first."
Perhaps Dong Jianan also saw that I was not very happy, so she said loudly: "Let's make an appointment another day."
I knew that if I said another day, I might never hear from her again, I nodded casually, said goodbye to her, and parted ways in front of Luo's door.
I was already in a bad mood, but now it was even more dark, making it the most depressing day in recent times.
In this huge night city, there was no one I could talk to. Even when I went back to the apartment, it was empty and I was the only one.
I walked slowly on the street and suddenly thought that I could go to the hospital to see Teacher Gu.
I reached out and hailed a taxi on the street, and I went to the hospital.
When I carried the fruit to the ward where Teacher Gu was, Teacher Gu's son was watching over me. When he saw me appearing, the man quickly came forward and said, "Classmate Liang, come and see my dad again later." , Don’t mention anything, he can’t eat it now, it’s enough for you to have the heart.”
I looked at the old man lying on the bed with an oxygen mask still on his mouth and nose, and whispered, "How is Teacher Gu?"
The man sighed and replied in a low voice: "I haven't woken up yet. The doctor has come to see me several times and said that the results will be expected within forty-eight hours."
I feel unspeakable pain in my heart. It feels like many years ago, before my grandfather passed away, when he was dying in the hospital, I just wanted to wait for him to wake up and say a few words to him. It was just that simple.
