Chapter 53 Tyrant

There are hundreds of bars and restaurants on the Bund, all of which use the view on the opposite bank as their selling point.

The location of this newly opened bar is very good, the floor-to-ceiling windows are facing the skyline of Lujiazui.After nightfall, the lights on both sides of the strait are bright, and the glass windows shine brightly, and the price of drinks is also sold at a few percent.

"Wow!"

When the entire building on the other side lit up with the words "I love Shanghai", the new copywriter Sissy opened her eyes wide.

"so beautiful!"

Hearing her exaggerated admiration, He Jing turned his head, glanced at the opposite bank lightly, and remained silent.

The well-dressed waiter brought wine and snacks. Seeing that Sissy was still intoxicated by the night scene, the colleague next to He Jing couldn't help but said, "Oh, she's still a beautiful returnee, don't be so embarrassing, okay?"

Sissy finally came back to her senses, and picked up a piece of corn flakes on the plate with her slender fingers: "I just came from the country, and I have never seen such a beautiful night scene."

"Northern Europe counts as a country?" The colleague raised his hands in surrender to her pretentiousness, "It's alright, wait until our company moves here, you can see enough."

"Hey, is the company moving?"

"Well," He Jing reached out to take a glass of whiskey that was divided on the table, "The contract is signed, and we will move to the Bund Center next month."

"The current place is not bad, why did you move after only staying for half a year?" My colleague asked puzzled.

He Jing shook his head helplessly: "Because Devin came here once, and after going around for a while, I feel that the show is not enough."

"Who is Devin?" Sissy asked, "I don't think I've seen him?"

"The big boss in Shenzhen," replied the colleague next to him, "It's luck that you didn't meet him."

"scare?"

"It's so fierce, only Andre can handle it." Someone pointed at He Jing and said.

Because the boss felt that the ostentation was not enough, he broke the contract and lost money to move? Sissy stuck out her tongue when she heard this, she had just returned from studying in Northern Europe, she was used to staying in the countryside, so she really didn't quite adapt to the extravagant style in China.

Originally, she didn't want to stay in Shanghai after graduation, but she just submitted a resume when she came to play, and she didn't expect to join this hugely rich new media company.

The company was founded in Shenzhen, only three or four years after its establishment. Due to its unique business, it has seized the gaps in the market and expanded rapidly.The big boss is said to be a young rich second generation with good business vision, good looks and strength. Since its establishment, it has never asked for a penny of investment from outsiders.

The only problem is that his temper is too big, and he opens his mouth to scold when he gets angry, without saving face for anyone.This bad temper drove away many talented people. Although the company is getting bigger and bigger, few old courtiers from the start-up period still stay by his side.

Those who can persist until now are all confidantes in their confidantes, who must have become executives - He Jing is one of them.

Three years ago, He Jing applied for a job in this company in Shenzhen. After working hard all the way, he finally achieved some results.In the middle of this year, the company just sent him to Shanghai to open a subsidiary, and a big project has been signed in the third quarter.

For this project, everyone worked continuously for more than a month, and finally had time to take a breather and come to the bar to have fun.

After drinking for three rounds, my ears were warm and my eyes were hot, and the topic gradually became casual.

"Andre, I heard that you have been in Shanghai?" He Jing's colleague asked him.

"Well," He Jing answered casually, playing with the wine glass in his hand, "I went to university in Shanghai, and worked for a while after graduation."

"What were you doing in Shanghai then?" Sissy asked curiously.

"lawyer."

"Wow! Lawyer!" The simple words aroused the exclamation of colleagues, "That's amazing!"

"Not very good," He Jing smiled, "I can't keep going and fled to Shenzhen."

Everyone laughed, and his old colleague from Shenzhen pointed at him and said with a smile: "Aside from other things, you can bear Devin's bad temper and still say that you are not good?"

He Jing smiled and shook his head: "The past is unbearable, but fortunately, I don't have to face him now."

Speaking of the devil boss far away in Shenzhen, the marketing director suddenly thought of an exhortation.

"By the way, I called Devin yesterday, and he specifically asked me to supervise you, not to work overtime all day."

"Oh, he's afraid that the hen that lays eggs will be killed." He Jing waved his hand, "The hypocrisy of capitalists, whoever takes it seriously is an idiot."

Everyone laughed again. Seeing that the girls' cocktails on the table were about to run out, He Jing raised his hand and called the waiter, asking him to recommend drinks suitable for female colleagues.

The waiter winks and asks if he wants to try the "lost wine" made by the new bartender.

Hearing the name of the wine, the male colleagues laughed obscenely, but the female colleagues kept saying that they wanted to try it.

The "lost body wine" was brought up quickly, but it was vodka with various fresh fruit juices, it tasted sweet, but it was full of strength.

Sissy's face turned red from drinking, and she squinted her eyes slightly to look at He Jing who was sitting across from her. She was half-drunk and asked with some alcohol, "Andre, are you single now?"

"Yes." He Jing's alcohol tolerance has been practiced well in the past few years, and his face is only slightly red now.

Which woman can bear to walk from the earliest to the latest every day? Sissy had already guessed that he was single, the point was buried in the next sentence.

"What kind of girl do you like?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the booth that was noisy just now suddenly fell silent.

After a few seconds, laughter erupted from all around.

Sissy was baffled by their laughter and didn't know what was wrong with her words.

The marketing director finally stopped laughing, patted her on the shoulder and said, "I don't blame you, I don't blame you, you are new here, I don't know."

Sissy didn't dare to ask any more questions, but just looked at him with questioning eyes.

"Andre is gay, everyone knows it." Someone beside him finally said.

Sissy covered her mouth and didn't return to China for several years. She didn't expect the country to be open to such a degree.

So she had to find love quickly: "When I was studying abroad in Denmark, I had a good friend who was gay, but I haven't met since I came back."

"There's one right in front of you," He Jing smiled, "but if you've been single for too long, sexual orientation doesn't make any sense."

Everyone made fun of He Jing as a workaholic, and advised him to have a serious relationship at his age.Sissy on the side laughed with them, secretly burying her little thoughts.

As the night deepened, the young man tried all kinds of games one by one, and the wine came out one after another.At the end of the round, the loser Sissy drew the title: "Describe your ex in one word."

"It's a great tool to live well," Sissy shrugged, releasing her bold and unrestrained nature.

There was a burst of ghostly screams around, and after the booing, someone suggested that everyone talk about what their predecessors were like.

The suggestion was responded to immediately, "mom baby", "scumbag", "femme fatale", "slutty"... Regardless of men or women, when talking about their ex, they rarely have a good color.

When the baton was passed to He Jing, it suddenly got stuck.

"Why didn't Andre say it?" The marketing director sat next to He Jing and put his arms around his neck, "Don't you have an ex?"

"Yes, I'm a virgin." He Jing smiled and pushed him away.

There were boos and everyone gave him the middle finger.

"It's been a long time ago, and I can't even remember it." Amidst the boos, He Jing suppressed his smile and thought for a few seconds, "If I have to say it, it is..."

"tyrant."
