not as lingering

Chapter 5 Chapter 5

5.

Xu Maimai didn't go back to the hotel room to sleep.I can't fall asleep even when I go back, and I can't sleep alone, let alone a colleague in the room, so I don't even have to think about it.The worst thing that can happen to an annual meeting is sharing a hotel room with co-workers.

Looking back on the past few years, the economic environment was good and there were bubbles everywhere.Where there are bubbles, there is a good life.At that time, foreign-funded companies were really prosperous, and it was no problem to give gifts to meals. The hotels for business trips were not only luxurious, but they never shared with others.Now that the economy is failing, good companies have become stingy and stingy.If there are so many choices, how can I be so down and out?

Xu Xiaomai was in that bar again, the bar where they first met and broke up.She chose a corner to sit down, she wanted to drink, she wanted to listen to music.Xu Xiaomai couldn't figure out the shadow area in his heart, but it was huge anyway.She has never had the opportunity to come to Guangzhou in the past three years.Coming here for a meeting today, the whole person can't help but fall into this shadow.

Is three years long?Why has everything changed?The decor of the bar layout has changed.The old handsome Filipino guy is gone, and a Chinese girl has been sung there.Looks like there will be no more "unintentional whispers".Xu Maimai looked around and saw all the unfamiliar faces.Presumably Kou Yan'er will never come to this bar again.Kou Yan'er was so cruel.

It has indeed been turned over.

Xu Xiaomai put her head in her hands and sank into the sofa.Frustration, an emotion that now haunts her so often, enveloped her again.

"Go home." Xu Maimai only remembered the voice of Kou Yaner saying these two words, but he couldn't remember her expression.

What is the purpose of human life?Enduring all kinds of boredom and hardships to move forward, what are you looking forward to?

Three years ago, Xu Xiaomai boasted that he was a broken-tailed lizard that could be reborn. How deep could his relationship with Kou Yaner be?But only a few months.Xu Xiaomai thought that it wouldn't take long for her to be resurrected with full blood one by one.

Are you getting old?Why is Xu Mai so uncomfortable and unwilling?Did she make a rational decision at the time?Xu Maimai struggled with this issue for three years.

Is it because of Kou Yaner's unreconciledness?Xu Xiaomai felt like a masochist, what she seemed to like was Kou Yaner's attitude of never looking back.Not only did Kou Yan'er not look back, he didn't even explain or apologize.

"How much love can be repeated, how many people are willing to wait, when love has gone through the sea, do you still have the courage to love?"

The resident girl sang this old song.Why are old songs always sung in this bar?

There is an inexplicable mysterious power, someone will always sing your heart out inadvertently.

Divided is divided, not all turn back, there are people waiting for you in place.However, Xu Xiaomai doesn't have the strength to think about love now, she just wants to sleep.She drank three shots of whiskey and left the bar.She almost felt that she could sleep for a while at night.

"Good morning!" Sophie put down the breakfast plate and sat in front of Xu Maimai.

"Good morning!" Xu Maimai replied mechanically.

Sophie's spirit was obviously brighter than last night, while Xu Xiaomai seemed more depressed.

"Did you sleep well?" Sophie clearly felt something was wrong with Xu Maimai.

Xu Maimai smiled bitterly as an answer.Such a face, even with makeup on, can't deceive anyone.

The two silently cut the bacon and fried eggs on the plate.Xu Xiaomai felt that Sophie was watching her all the time, but Xu Xiaomai decided to pretend to be unconscious like eating alone.

"Mai, you are different from what I imagined." Sophie said cautiously.

Xu Xiaomai raised her eyes and looked back at Sophie's eyes.She felt obvious disappointment and contempt in that statement.

"That is to say, you knew me before last night?" Xu Maimai's restrained tone revealed the intention to fight back.

"Of course," Sophie didn't mind, "I proposed this plan. They called it the 'Talent Return Program'. Such an uninteresting name was not my intention. I think it can be called a better name, 'Huaihui Grass ' and so on. In short, this is the plan, and you are the first person." Both of them actually thought of the word Huihui, but Sophie obviously didn't understand the usage of this word.

Xu Maimai stopped the knife and fork in surprise, looked at Sophie warily, and asked, "Why did you choose me?"

"To figure out the situation here, the most important thing is to find a guide. I knew there was smog in China before I came here, and it seems to be true. When I walked into the office, I walked into the fog and couldn't see anything clearly. Sophie made a groping gesture in the dark and shrugged, without much of a smile on her face. Sophie has a Chinese face and speaks fluent Chinese (with special intonation), but she doesn't have much Chinese temperament. "You may just happen to be the one leading the way. I've seen your old reports and documents, and you're very smart and professional."

Xu Xiaomai was even more surprised, "Why do you think I will definitely come back?" After asking, he nervously waited for the answer.

"Maybe we shouldn't say that, but we got news that you were contacting a headhunter at that time, and this is our opportunity. And we have offered as good a salary as possible." Sophie said with a little pride in her tone.

Xu Xiaomai narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the woman in front of him suspiciously.Xu Xiaomai has heard such a statement once, the way of expression is different, but the meaning is almost the same.The last time it was an interview, the general manager Lu Hang said.

Lu Hang and Sophie, who chose Xu Mai?One of them must be lying!
