When I came out of Luo Xiangdong's office, his words of 'thank you' were still echoing in my ears. In fact, he is not that annoying sometimes.
When I was eating with Luo Xiangdong at noon, I noticed that after he took off his mask, there were traces of ointment on the corners of his lips.
I asked aloud: "How is it, doesn't it smell bad?"
Luo Xiangdong lowered his eyes slightly, filled a ladle of soup, and said while blowing: "It's not bad."
I'm used to his attitude and way of speaking. As long as he can wipe it, it means it's not bad.
After eating, he drove back to Luo's underground parking lot. I unbuckled my seat belt and was about to get out of the car. When I saw that he didn't move, I couldn't help but turn around and take a look and asked, "Mr. Luo, aren't you going to get in?"
Luo Xiangdong wore a mask and replied loudly: "I have something else to do, you can go back."
I thought to myself that if I didn’t go to work when it was time to go to work, what else would happen? I would definitely go out to play again.
I nodded, responded, got out of Luo Xiangdong's car, and watched him turn around and leave.
I returned to the top floor of Luo's alone and entered the office. Looking at the empty file boxes on the table, I sighed secretly. Being an assistant was something that no one else could even dream of doing.
When I was working in the translation department downstairs, I was often so busy that I hit the back of my head. But now that I have been promoted, I have no work to do.
Kitty and Zhou Yu both said the same thing to me, saying that after I come to work upstairs, it will be more difficult than working downstairs. But now it is not a question of whether it is difficult or not, but when Luo Xiangdong leaves, I have nothing to do at all.
Being bored, I first turned on the computer and watched a few episodes of Japanese comics, and then followed an episode of American TV series. I got a little sleepy halfway through, and fell asleep on the table. After finally getting through to get off work time, I got up to pack my things and prepare to leave, when my cell phone rang.
I took out my mobile phone and saw one word displayed on it: East.
I quickly answered the phone and said, "Mr. Luo."
Luo Xiangdong said bluntly: "Do you have any plans after get off work?"
I felt a little nervous for no reason, but I still replied truthfully: "No."
Luo Xiangdong said, "Would you like to come over and have dinner together?"
I heard what Luo Xiangdong meant, as if he was not the only one there, so I subconsciously replied: "No, you can eat."
Luo Xiangdong suddenly asked: "You haven't contacted Ji Guanxin, have you?"
Suddenly I heard the words Ji Guanxin, and my heart skipped a beat. I thought about that day in the car, when he said to me coldly: Get out of here.
Pursing my lower lip, I whispered back: "No."
Luo Xiangdong said: "Forget it, you better come over. I'll make you feel more at ease."
When I heard what he said, I couldn't help but frown slightly and asked aloud: "Mr. Luo, what do you mean?" Is he using man-to-man tactics to prevent me from meeting Ji Guanxin
I murmured in my heart, but unexpectedly Luo Xiangdong replied calmly: "Come to my side and I will save Ji Guanxin from pestering you. I'm..."
Regardless of whether I wanted to go or not, Luo Xiangdong had already reported the address directly, and then said: "On the way here, I went to Puji to buy some more egg tarts, half sweet and half not sweet."
After that, he hung up the phone directly.
I stood by the desk with my phone in hand, rolled my eyes for a long time, and muttered in a low voice: "What the hell."
After looking at the table to make sure I had packed everything, I walked out of the office and took a taxi to Puji.
Puji is a place that specializes in selling egg tarts. It is very famous. It only has a small storefront of less than 20 square meters. The front is selling and the back is cooking. Fresh egg tarts are constantly being put out. You can smell the air from half a street across the street. Medium and rich egg tart aroma.
I took a taxi and stopped on the street, and saw that two long lines had lined up from the entrance of Puji to the roadside. I couldn't help it, this store is so popular, no matter who comes, they have to wait in line.
I stood at the end of the long queue, secretly thinking that Luo Xiangdong really knows how to instigate people. If he doesn't come to buy, let me do it. It's already October, and the night city has begun to get cold. Occasionally, a small breeze blows over, which makes people feel uncomfortable. Feel the desolation before winter comes in advance.
When I was in the middle of the queue, I accidentally glanced sideways and saw a man and woman holding arms and walking towards me. They were wearing the same color coats. At first glance, they looked like a couple. Pack. It was Chen Wenhang and Zhang Xinwei.
I couldn't help but change my face, and my eyes fell on them without blinking. Zhang Xinwei held Chen Wenhang's arm and turned her head to talk to him with a smile. Chen Wenhang also raised the corners of his lips, and his handsome face was full of warmth and pampering.
Once upon a time, he treated me like this. Even if I talked to him about boring topics, he would listen attentively.
The queue at Xu Shi Puji's entrance was too long. Chen Wenhang and Zhang Xinwei did not walk directly over, but chose to go around the end of the queue.
When they were so far away that I turned around and looked over and couldn't find their figures in the crowd, I slowly let out the breath in my heart.
To be honest, I'm not that angry these days. At least I don't think about Chen Wenhang and Zhang Xinwei's betrayal and hurt to me all the time, and I'm not so angry that I can't sleep every night, and my dreams are filled with scenes of me and them fighting.
I thought I was about to forget it, but it wasn’t until this moment that I realized that some things that happened can never be forgotten, not to mention that Chen Wenhang kept telling me that he and Zhang Xinwei had separated, but I believed in myself Eyes, more believe in the facts you see.
The resentment and anger that had accumulated deep in my heart began to grow quietly again, and my face became more and more ugly. When there was no one in front of the queue, it was my turn to buy.
The clerk standing inside asked, "How much do you want?"
I said solemnly: "How many?"
The clerk was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but look at the expression on my face, and then said, "How much do you want?"
I frowned and replied aloud: "I want as much as you have coming out of the oven now!"
The clerk had been busy all day and was impatient. Although he didn't turn his face directly, he still replied angrily: "There are still two and a half furnaces, almost seventy-five."
I took out my wallet from my bag and said expressionlessly: "Put it all in for me."
The clerk was also stunned. It wasn't until he saw me taking out a stack of hundreds from my wallet that he turned around and asked other clerks to help pack them.
When the people standing in line behind me saw this, they all had expressions of disbelief, especially a woman behind me, who immediately said, "Hey, what's the matter with you? You bought everything, what should we buy?"
I was getting angry, so I immediately turned around and said: "Does this store stipulate how much one person can buy? Did I spend your money? If you are not happy, who asked you to be behind me!"
The woman, who was about my age, immediately glared and retorted: "Can you speak? Everyone has been queuing here in the cold weather for so long. You buy two and a half stoves by yourself. Can you finish the meal? You kind of People always harm others without benefiting themselves. I have never seen you like this..."
Standing next to the woman was a young man, wearing glasses and looking polite. He stretched out his hand to grab the woman's arm and signaled her to stop arguing.
I stood on the steps, looked at her condescendingly, and said coldly: "You're the only one who queued up? Didn't I queue up here? You don't care if I buy two and a half furnaces or three and a half furnaces. I have money and you don't need to worry about it. You If you want to wait, just wait. If you can't wait, then leave. Who asked you to wait in line here?"
"Tell me something more?!" The woman pointed at me, indicating that she was about to take action.
I was worried that I had nowhere to vent my anger, so I immediately raised my eyebrows and replied: "I just said, what's wrong with you!"
Everyone in the queue advised us not to argue, and even the Puji clerk came out to smooth things over, saying that the next few ovens would be baked soon, and everyone would have a share.
The man took the woman's arm and lowered his voice: "Okay, so many people are watching, so stop making noise."
The woman glared and said, "You are such a badass, haven't you seen her bullying others?"
I wanted to make a few more noises, but just in time a few shop assistants handed me the packed egg tarts from the window. The egg tarts here cost eight yuan each. They can be bagged individually, and more than two can be put into boxes. I don’t know how many they have packed now. I can see that there are egg tart boxes neatly stacked in the large shopping bag, which is enough to fit three large ones. bag.
The clerk said to me: "Hello, the total is 616 yuan."
There was a total of six hundred yuan in my wallet, which I had just taken out. I handed the entire six hundred yuan to the clerk and took out a twenty note from my side bag.
The clerk gave me four yuan, and I carried three big bags. Under the gaze of everyone, I bravely went to the street to take a taxi.
It's impossible to say it's not embarrassing. I'm not usually the kind of girl who shows off her wealth, but I was driven crazy by Chen Wenhang and Zhang Xinwei.
They say impulse is the devil, and this is indeed true. Every time I saw Chen Wenhang and Zhang Xinwei before, I always lost control of my emotions and felt embarrassed. This time, I couldn't help but rush up and call them idiots, but in the end I couldn't escape the end of being laughed at in public.
I was confused. I owed it to Chen Wenhang and Zhang Xinwei in my previous life. In this life, I was completely injured by them and mentally distorted. I also had to be watched by outsiders from time to time.
I stood on the street and took a taxi. I took my bag and got into the back seat, then gave my address to the driver.
The car quickly drove away from Puji's door. I was relieved. A voice in my heart comforted me. It's okay. We are all strangers. No one knows anyone, so there is no shame.
The taxi drove all the way from the city to the door of a high-end club in Night City. The taxi stopped slowly. The driver raised the 'empty taxi' sign and said to me: "Fifty-three yuan."
I took out my wallet and saw that there was nothing in it. I looked in the side bag again and found that there were only about twenty yuan in the side bag including coins.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught the driver looking at me in the rearview mirror. I quickly lowered my head and continued rummaging. My body felt hot, and I knew I was blushing without even looking.
The driver waited for me for more than ten seconds and suddenly said: "If you don't have any change, just give me fifty."
I was even more embarrassed, so I had to raise my head and smile awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Master, I don't have enough money. Please wait for me to make a call and ask someone to come down and deliver the money."
The driver was very talkative, nodded and replied: "It's okay, you can just fight."
I took out my phone, flipped through the recent calls, hesitated, and dialed.
