With Love and Time

Chapter 158: Ambiguous attitude

Views:

I don't know when I fell asleep. When I opened my eyes again, I was awakened by the ringing of my cell phone. It was already dark outside. I took the phone and saw that it was Xu Lu calling.

I answered the phone and said in a low voice: "Hello, Luzi..."

Xu Lu asked in surprise: "Are you sleeping?"

I hummed, and then said, "I have a day off today."

Xu Lu said: "Are you on holiday again? What's the reason this time?"

After I woke up a little, I replied aloud: "Don't mention it, you didn't torture me to death last night..."

As soon as I told the story, to my surprise, instead of worrying about my health, Xu Lu called me and said excitedly: "Did you spend the whole night with Luo Xiangdong last night?"

When I heard this, why was it so weird

My whole body was soft from sleep. I lay on my bed, holding my cell phone and saying, "What time is it now?"

Xu Lu said: "What time is it? I've already gotten off work and I'm about to take a ride to your place."

I was a little surprised, I didn't expect to sleep for so long.

It took Xu Lu more than an hour to come from the New District. We made an appointment to go out to eat together when she arrived. After hanging up the phone, I lingered in the ** for a while, holding my mobile phone and trying to call Luo Xiangdong. Did he get up or eat

But as soon as this idea came up, I suppressed it forcefully. Throwing the phone on the bed, I quickly got out of bed and went to the bathroom to clean up.

When Xu Lu came to my place, it was just seven o'clock in the evening. Without exception, she was carrying a big bag of snacks and fruits. I said, "Why did you buy so many things? We have to go out to eat later." ”

Xu Lu stood at the entrance to change her shoes. After hearing this, she replied nonchalantly: "They are all things that can be put in the refrigerator. You can keep them and eat them slowly."

I took the bag and walked inside, saying as I walked: "Hey, Luzi, give me two more days, and I will find an opportunity to mention it to Luo Xiangdong in these two days."

Xu Lu walked over in slippers and quickly replied: "Forget it, don't go to Luo Xiangdong to mention it. Zhou Mingkang just took advantage on purpose, how can I let him rip him off? You made me feel embarrassed, as if I I came here specifically to bribe you."

Xu Lu mentioned to me on the phone last time that Zhou Mingkang was trying to coerce and induce her to be transferred. If Xu Lu could get a contract worth more than one million yuan in a short time, she would be transferred to the city. .

We all know very well that this is just trying to beat the rabbit, and we want Xu Lu to use my friendship with Luo Xiangdong to facilitate this deal.

I hesitated for several days and was never embarrassed to tell Luo Xiangdong.

Xu Lu placed snacks with me in the small kitchen. She said: "I have thought about it. The worst I can do is resign. I am unlucky to have such a boss. No matter how high the salary is, I will not serve you anymore." When I come back to the city to find a job, you have to take me in. "

I said, "It doesn't matter whether I take you in or not. The key is that the job you are looking for has a really good salary. Give me some time and I will help you think of a solution."

The difficulty in this matter is not that I want to ask Luo Xiangdong, but that I want to help Xu Lu ask Luo Xiangdong. I don't know what Luo Xiangdong's attitude will be. If he refuses, it is reasonable. Considering Xu Lu's ability, it is not easy to find a job in Night City with a salary of around RMB 6,000 just after graduation.

Although we both graduated from Night City University, we came from the same school and have different strengths. It's not that I secretly look down on Xu Lu, but we all know that given her strength, it would be almost impossible for her to find a translation-related job in the city center with a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan.

Xu Lu kept saying it didn't matter, but I knew that she actually cared about this job.

Hearing what I said, Xu Lu turned her head to look at me and said: "Zijin, to be honest, I never thought that I would be so stressed just after graduation. Some of those who came out with us were okay, and some were straightforward. I can’t even find a decent translation job, so I’m very scared. If I miss this opportunity, I don’t know if I can find a better one in the future.”

I looked at her very stressed look, smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, Luo Xiangdong will drive to pick us up tomorrow morning. I will find a chance to tell him then, even if he doesn't agree, you will resign then." You should continue to do it, I will support you. If it doesn't work out and you don't have any job, you can come and live with me. My current salary is spent by myself, and I can support you more than enough."

When I was young, my grandma taught me that as a human being, you should remember the good things others do to you.

I remember it was my sophomore year. Chen Wenhang and I were playing outside together. Someone got in trouble for me after drinking too much. Chen Wenhang started beating the person without saying a word. As a result, the person’s head was broken and he needed more than ten or twenty stitches. Needle.

When the other party knew that we were students, they asked us for medical expenses, otherwise they would bring the matter to the school. You must know that the school rules of Night City University are very strict. If a student gets into a fight while on campus, the severity of the incident will be considered, ranging from a major demerit to a direct expulsion.

At that time, Chen Wenhang and I were both scared, and he didn't dare to ask for money from home. I withdrew all the money in the card, but there was still a shortfall of more than 5,000.

It turned out that Xu Lu had coaxed the classmates in the dormitory and the opposite dormitory to help me collect the more than 5,000 yuan. At that time, she borrowed money from others, and she did not say that I wanted to borrow it. It was all borrowed in her own name.

I still remember this love to this day. Even in the past few years, I have always taken care of her.

Xu Lu's eyes were a little red when I said that, so she looked away to open a drink. After we stuffed the snacks into the refrigerator, we were ready to go out to eat.

When going downstairs, Xu Lu muttered to me: "There is no decent Sichuan restaurant in the new district. I have been craving Sichuan food for several days. Let's go eat Sichuan food later."

I was about to answer the call when my cell phone rang in my bag. When I took it out, my heart skipped a beat.

It was Luo Xiangdong.

When Xu Lu saw that I didn't answer immediately, but was staring at the screen of my phone, she poked her head over to take a look.

Luo Xiangdong's name in my mobile phone book is the word "东". He typed it in casually from the beginning and never changed it.

When Xu Lu saw this, her eyes widened slightly and she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Hey, Dong? Who is Dong? Could it be Luo Xiangdong?"

I was very embarrassed by what she said. After glaring at me, I turned around and answered the phone, and my voice subconsciously became softer, "Hello?"

Luo Xiangdong's voice came from the phone, and he asked: "What's going on?"

Listening to his lazy and casual voice, I felt like my heart was about to vomit.

Resisting the urge to blush, I pretended to be calm and replied: "My friend is here and I am planning to go to dinner."

Luo Xiangdong said: "Don't forget what the nurse told you, you can't eat spicy food or seafood."

I yelled, but he didn't speak again immediately, so I had to add another sentence: "What are you doing?"

Luo Xiangdong said: "I just woke up and I'm going to go out to eat right away."

I yelled again, but because I was too nervous and awkward, I had to bite the bullet and said, "Then don't forget to pick us up at 7:30 tomorrow morning."

"I know. I've set a time. Why don't you call me again at seven o'clock in case you don't come together."

I said, "How can you not get up for such a big thing?"

Luo Xiangdong said: "Okay, I just called you to tell you, don't eat blindly, you can go play, I'm hanging up."

"Oh, okay, bye."

I hung up the phone and put it back in my bag.

In fact, from the corner of my eye, I saw Xu Lu looking at me with a look of shock and gossip on her face, so I pretended not to notice and walked forward.

Xu Lu stared at me for more than ten seconds, then clicked her tongue a few times, raised her eyebrows and said, "Zijin, that's all right."

I calmly turned to look at her and said calmly: "What's the matter?"

Xu Lu smiled and said, "Stop pretending and tell me the truth. Are you with Luo Xiangdong?"

I already felt guilty, but now that Xu Lu said this, I instinctively widened my eyes and retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xu Lu said: "Look at the way you were talking to Luo Xiangdong on the phone just now. They are obviously a couple who have just fallen in love and are in love."

I frowned and replied, "No, he was just afraid that I would eat randomly, so he called me to give me instructions."

"Tsk, tsk, do you think the boss calling his subordinates to tell them not to eat indiscriminately is considered loving the people like a son or being honest and honest?"

I rolled my eyes at her and simply ignored her.

Xu Lu held my arm and muttered to herself: "Oh, we really have different fates. You said you could work under Luo Xiangdong as soon as you graduate. But as soon as I graduated, I worked for an older man who loves to harass female subordinates." It’s unfair for my subordinates to do things.”

I frowned and said, "What's unfair? Everyone is out to do things. My injury last night was considered a work-related injury. Otherwise, if Luo Xiangdong could take care of me like this, he was afraid that I would need money from the company to support me if I got seriously ill."

Xu Lu looked disapproving and shook her head and replied: "It's useless what you say to me now. I have my own eyes and I can judge."

I said, "How can you judge? Your judgment is that there is something fishy between me and Luo Xiangdong?"

Xu Lu turned to look at me and without any warning, said directly: "You like Luo Xiangdong."

I looked at her without blinking and was stunned. Although I thought I came to my senses quickly, it actually took a few seconds before I replied: "You are so crazy, how could I like him?"

Having said that, I already looked away.

Xu Lu said: "Actually, isn't it normal to like Luo Xiangdong? He is handsome, rich and willing to spend money, and he treats you well. As a woman, you want to be with him, unless you are abnormal."

Xu Lu's words caused a subtle ripple in my heart.

Yes, Luo Xiangdong is indeed very good, so good that wherever he appears, others will become dimmed.

In the past, I thought Chen Wenhang was good, not only because beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but also because the circle I came in contact with was too narrow and too small. It is commonly said that I have never seen much of the world from a well.

Compared with Luo Xiangdong, is Chen Wenhang nothing

Even if I am attracted to Luo Xiangdong, it is reasonable...
