I looked at her expression without any trace, but when I saw her looking at me with a smile, a chill ran down my spine, and I quickly said hello and exited the office.
After leaving the translation department with the folder, I took the elevator to the top floor.
After arriving at the top floor, someone immediately came over to ask me. I said, "I will help Minister Zhou from the translation department to deliver a document to Mr. Luo."
After hearing this, the visitor took me to the door of the president's office.
This is the first time I have been to the top floor, and it is also the first time I have seen what the door of the president’s office looks like.
Feeling both uneasy and a little excited, I controlled the expression on my face without leaving a trace. After knocking on the door, a deep male voice came from inside the door and said, "Come in."
Pushing open the heavy wooden door, I stepped into the room.
The room was covered with gorgeous carpets embroidered with dark patterns, and high heels made no sound at all when stepped on them.
I walked down a small corridor and my view suddenly opened up. Directly in front of me is a huge floor-to-ceiling window that is four meters high and almost ten meters wide. Sunlight poured in from outside and shone on the black desk on the right. I saw Luo Xiangdong, wearing an off-white shirt, sitting on a large leather chair. He was staring at the computer and not looking at me.
For a moment, I was confused by the scene in front of me, because Luo Xiangdong's face, surrounded by the sun, looked so good-looking that it seemed a bit unreal.
However, this confusion was fleeting. I quickly came to my senses and walked forward.
"Mr. Luo, this is the document our Minister Zhou asked me to send to you."
I put the folder on the table in front of Luo Xiangdong, my voice was more formulaic than respectful.
Luo Xiangdong didn't even look at me. He was staring at the computer and moving the mouse in his right hand.
Opening his thin lips, he said aloud: "I heard that you just went to see Kitty off?"
Although it was a question, it was in an affirmative tone.
My eyes changed slightly and I replied softly: "Yes."
Luo Xiangdong said: "There are so many pairs of eyes up and down the whole building. You are really not afraid of getting into trouble."
If Kitty hadn't told me again and again, Luo Xiangdong was actually a nice person and he was very protective of me behind my back. When I heard this, I must have thought that he was a cold-blooded person.
I opened my lips and replied expressionlessly: "Anyway, Kitty helped me this time. It's reasonable to say that I should give her a ride when she leaves the Luo family."
Hearing this, Luo Xiangdong was finally willing to raise his beautiful black eyes. He looked at me and said, "Am I not the one who helps you?"
I met Luo Xiangdong's seemingly beautiful but actually poisonous eyes, and almost fell into them accidentally. Fortunately, I stopped in time, looked away, and replied aloud: "I heard Kitty say..."
Luo Xiangdong looked at me seriously and said, "Since you already know who is helping you behind the scenes, why have you never said a word of thanks to me?"
The subconscious rebuttal in my mind was: Who did I end up in the dilemma I was in before? It’s not because of him! I'm so embarrassed to take credit here.
I didn't say anything, but Luo Xiangdong stared at me for a few seconds and said directly: "It turns out that you are blaming me for causing trouble in your heart."
Did I show it so obviously
For many reasons, I opened my lips and replied: "Mr. Luo, that matter has passed. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong now."
Luo Xiangdong raised the corners of his lips slightly and said with a half-smile, "It doesn't matter who you say is right or wrong. I'm missing a capable assistant here."
I thought to myself, what's the use of telling me? Can I still compensate you
"The Luo family is full of talents. There will be no shortage of talents for anything. Mr. Luo can hire another assistant."
I tried my best to smile and said it sincerely.
Luo Xiangdong looked at me and suddenly said: "Are you interested in coming upstairs to be an assistant?"
My eyes suddenly widened, and I shook my head repeatedly and replied: "No, I can't..."
When Luo Xiangdong saw my look, he couldn't help but frown and said, "I asked you to come up as my assistant, but I didn't ask you to die. What's your expression?"
I also realized later that I had overreacted. Suppressing the fear in my heart, I tried to control my facial expression and replied seriously: "No, Mr. Luo, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?" Luo Xiangdong's eyes were full of oppression, as if if I answered, he would not be satisfied and he could kill me in minutes.
My eyes rolled, I carefully considered my words, and replied softly: "I study languages, not administration. I can't do the job of an assistant."
Luo Xiangdong said: "Are you born knowing how to eat? It's not learned."
Hearing this, I just felt my blood surge, and I couldn't tell whether it was because I was anxious or angry.
I replied aloud: "Mr. Luo, thank you for your respect, but you also said that people need to know themselves. I don't have this diamond, and I can't take on this porcelain job."
Luo Xiangdong suddenly raised the corners of his lips and said with a faint smile: "You remember clearly what I said."
I smiled stiffly, nodded and replied, "Yes, I will always bear in mind what Mr. Luo said."
Luo Xiangdong saw my humble and honest look and was silent for a few seconds. Then he asked aloud: "Liang Zijin, I will give you this chance. Are you really not willing to come upstairs and be my assistant? You have to know , so many people wouldn’t even dream of it.”
I thought to myself, I don’t even want to dream about it right now.
I didn't dare to refuse too quickly, lest Luo Xiangdong would go crazy, but I didn't want to delay too long, so I pretended to struggle. After hesitating for a few seconds, I replied: "Mr. Luo, I've thought about it clearly. I will work hard in the translation department." Yes, I won’t embarrass you.”
If one survives, there will be future fortunes.
I always felt that after I got through this hurdle, nothing could stop me in the future.
In the days before, I couldn't eat or sleep well, and I lost a lot of weight. Later, Kitty called me privately and said that she had officially started working at Fangda Group, and she was also a senior assistant. After hearing this, the breath I had been holding finally let go.
On Saturday, I lay on the bed of my apartment and fell into a deep sleep. I seemed to be dreaming that when I was a child, I was having a water fight with my cousin at my grandmother’s house. As a result, a ladle of water went down and my uncle was killed. The goldfish kept in the water tank was thrown out and died on the spot.
I could vaguely feel that I was dreaming, and I also knew that this incident had indeed happened in reality. Just as I was discussing with my cousin how to deceive him in the dream, the ringtone of my cell phone broke in, gradually pulling me out of the dream. Back to reality.
I was sleeping so deeply that I couldn't keep my eyes open, so I almost answered the phone with my eyes closed.
"Hello..." My voice was very low, with obvious sleepiness.
My mother's voice came from the phone. She said, "Zijin, are you still sleeping?"
I didn't open my mouth, I just hummed.
Logically speaking, when faced with this situation, my mother would tell me to call later and let me sleep first, but today she said bluntly: "Zijin, get up. Your dad, I, and your baby are all coming to Night City." ”
After I heard this, five seconds later, I opened my eyes and heard my mother continue: "We are in the hospital. Your leg suddenly hurts. Liangcheng can't find anything. We are thinking Bring her to Night City for a comprehensive check-up and drop by to see you."
I woke up almost instantly, sat up from my bed, and asked nervously: "How is my milk? Which hospital are you in now?"
"The nurse just took your breasts inside for examination. We don't know the results yet. We are at the city hospital."
"Okay, I'll be right over."
After hanging up the phone, I lifted the quilt and got out of bed, washed my face, combed my hair and brushed my teeth, which took less than eight minutes in total.
I didn’t even put on makeup, so I casually wore a black T-shirt and white pants, grabbed my bag and ran out the door.
I took a taxi to the city hospital and saw my mother. She looked me over from head to toe. I smiled and asked, "How is it? Am I very thin now? You always said I was fat, but now I am not." Already?"
My mother nodded, but her eyes turned red instantly.
I saw her holding back tears and her throat tightened. Holding back the sourness in my heart, I deliberately grinned and said, "Hey, why are you crying?"
"Why have you lost so much weight? Are you suffering?"
I smiled and replied: "Why bother? I lost weight successfully."
In fact, no one is a fool, especially my mother. She knows me very well. I have been losing weight for so many years and my weight has been stable between 115 and 120. Suddenly I lost so much weight. It would be strange if something big happened.
Sure enough, my mother took my hand, with red eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Zijin, what's going on between you and Wenhang? It's been so long and you still haven't reconciled?"
I tried my best to keep the smile on my face, but in the end I ended up looking stiff and dumbfounded.
My lips parted, and I replied aloud: "We broke up, completely. I don't want to get back together again in this life."
When we first broke up, I was so emotional that I could hardly bring it up. Now that the dust has settled, my heart, riddled with holes, is slowly recovering.
I have to give my mother an explanation and not let her worry about me all the time.
Seeing that she wanted to ask me what the reason was, I spoke up first and changed the topic: "We will talk about it when we have time. Where is my dad?"
"I'm upstairs, waiting for your milk to be checked out."
I held my mother's hand and tried to persuade her: "Look, don't cry when we meet her. If my mother sees her later, she will feel sorry for me again."
My mother also stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, and she replied aloud: "Your mother still doesn't know about your breakup with Chen Wenhang. I didn't tell her."
I hummed, and then said, "Let's go upstairs."
I followed my mother upstairs. When my father saw me, he was surprised and distressed and said, "Why have you lost so much weight?"
I smiled and said, "Lose weight."
My dad snarled, and then said: "My girl is so attractive. Even if she doesn't lose weight, she is still a beautiful woman. She is superfluous."
Ever since I was little, my dad has always been inexplicably confident in me, and I have long been accustomed to this.
Not long after we were sitting on the bench in the corridor chatting, the door of a CT room opposite opened, and two young nurses walked out of it holding my breasts.
I immediately jumped up from the chair, walked over quickly, and shouted: "Breast."
