meet someone

Since An Ding moved here, she has not been connected to the Internet, and usually only reads books.

Ding Wei was not used to it, and always felt bored when he came back at night.This time Ding Wei came from Nanjing with his laptop and downloaded some movies.He took German as an elective in college and often watched some German movies.

Due to language differences, An Ding is not interested in German films, but sometimes when he gets bored, he will go to Ding Wei's room to watch a section.Gradually, I became less disgusted. In addition, Ding Wei translated and explained intentionally or unintentionally, which was not so boring.

The company's Internet speed is very fast, and everyone is used to downloading movies on the company's computer in private.A small company does not have as many rules as a formal company, and there is no special IT department to monitor the company's computers. As long as Zhao Wentao is not caught, it is basically safe and sound.

Ding Wei and An Ding had a tacit understanding. During the day, they secretly downloaded a movie or two at the company, and at night they huddled together to watch it.Ding Wei is very envious of An Ding's location in the office near the window. If An Ding doesn't remember to download a movie, he will quietly download a few of his favorite movies on Anding's computer.

Several times, after get off work, I haven't downloaded it yet.The two pretended to work overtime.Wang Huan often joked with An Ding, "It's because of the company's use of the Internet again."

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the postures of the two watching movies are also changing with the temperature.In December, the standard configuration for the two of them to watch a movie was melon seeds and peanuts, plus a quilt for each of them.After watching a movie, the table is full of peanut shells.

It seems that the joke at the last party made Chen Hao feel scruples, maybe it was inconvenient, after that Chen Hao didn't come to Anding to cook.An Ding only thought that he was too busy to pay attention to himself.You know, Zhao Wentao doesn't want everyone to be too idle, and often squeezes everyone with time constraints and heavy tasks.Despite constant complaints, no one resisted.

These days, the meals of An Ding and Ding Wei are obviously much worse.Two people who can't cook together will only burn the food more and more unpalatable.An Ding admired Ding Wei's skill in cooking. The red and white pork turned into black charcoal after going through the frying pan.Ding Wei also appreciates An Ding's cooking technique. Every time he cooks the rice, he can smell the burnt smell from a long distance.

Under the situation of running on each other, the two people's enthusiasm for cooking has been greatly reduced, and it is easy to cook noodles, or eat directly outside.

"Call Chen Hao for dinner tomorrow." An Ding said to Ding Wei while peeling peanuts.

Facing the computer screen, Ding Wei gave an absent-minded "hmm".Then, as if wanting to react, he asked, "What did you just say?"

"I said, call Chen Hao over for dinner tomorrow." An Ding repeated.

"Eating or cooking." Ding Wei couldn't help smiling.

"Eat and cook."

"Ok."

"Then you can tell him tomorrow." An Ding said.

"Why didn't you say it? Why did you ask him to let me say it?" Ding Wei asked back, puzzled.

"Just say what you want, so much nonsense." An Ding gave Ding Wei a sideways look impatiently.

After being quiet for a while, Ding Wei tentatively asked, "Do you like Chen Hao?"

An Ding was taken aback for a moment, like?It's hard to believe that Chen Hao didn't pay attention to himself these days, as if something was lost in his heart.This feeling is called liking.

An Ding remained silent.

Ding Wei threw the peanut shells in his hands into a plastic bag on the table, turned around, faced An Ding, put his hands on An Ding's shoulders, and asked solemnly: "An Ding, I have a question for you. You don't have to answer."

An Ding looked terrified, but he still said, "What's the question? It's so mysterious. You can ask."

Ding Wei smiled, hesitated to speak.It's like there's something unspeakable.

An Ding was a little curious, and urged, "What's the problem?"

Ding Wei endured and endured, gritted his teeth and asked, "Don't be angry. I want to ask, are you gay?"

An Ding was startled, he thought about how to answer this question, but didn't answer directly.

"When Chen Hao was here last time, I thought you looked at him with strange, serious and affectionate eyes." Ding Wei moved his hands away from An Ding's body, picked up a peanut, and rolled it in his hand, eyes Watching the movements of your hands, he continued, "The morning before yesterday, when I got up to pee, you were brushing your teeth in the bathroom. I thought you were all men, so I didn't shy away from it. But I found that although you were not facing me, your eyes sometimes Look in the mirror, I know what you're looking at. I didn't say anything at the time, but I always felt weird, I thought you were gay, but I couldn't ask you directly, if you weren't, it would make me suspicious."

After finishing speaking, Ding Wei looked at An Ding, paying attention to the change of expression on An Ding's face.He was afraid that he would accidentally offend Anding.

An Ding lowered her head, paused for a few seconds, then raised her eyes.Said to Ding Wei: "If I tell you, yes, you will look down on me."

"Why do you think so? If I looked down on you, I wouldn't sit on the same bed with you and talk about this." Ding Wei put peanuts on the table in relief.

A gleam of light flashed in An Ding's eyes, and then dimmed again. "After all, the vast majority of people can't accept it. I haven't dared to tell my parents until now. They always urge me to find a girlfriend, get married and have children. I was so forced that I had no choice but to hide outside. Every time I called, I'm just perfunctory them."

"You don't have to be so burdened. In fact, homosexuality is normal. Although I am not, I work part-time in KTV and have seen many people in the circle. Sometimes they play karaoke in private rooms, and they can't find a place when they come late. , I immediately asked them to go to the numbered box." After staying in entertainment venues for a long time, Ding Wei also mastered some skills of "smell people".

An Ding feels a little comforted, there are many people like him who can't find a harbor in this world, they sink silently in the deep sea.

"But to be honest, you have to figure out your relationship with Chen Hao. He is not suitable for you. You can tell from his behavior that he is a straight man."

"I just have a good impression of him. He helped me a lot, and I am more grateful." Anding said frankly.

"That's good."

For some reason, An Ding believed in Ding Wei so much that she actually told him the secret hidden deep in her heart.These years, Ding Wei was the first to know his gay status, and An Ding has always covered it up very well. He would talk about women and love with his companions.But those were not what he wanted.

☆, busy in vain

As soon as New Year's Day passed, Zhao Wentao hurriedly arranged for the equipment to be shipped.Once before, Shao Qing finished the test and said angrily: "The broken instrument is not easy to use. I don't know where Dr. Zhao got the courage to sell it to the Americans. He doesn't pay attention at all." Everyone is like this I think so, and in private discussion, they all said that the instrument should be tested for another two months, and it will be shipped to the United States when there is no problem at all.

Everyone couldn't hold back Zhao Wentao's insistence. He waved his hand and directed Li Yun and Han Yang to take the semi-finished products to the United States to suffer.The assembly and testing of the instrument did not go smoothly in the United States. Zhao Wentao contacted Li Yun and Han Yang through WeChat to understand every detail of the instrument, and asked them to verify, test and summarize the issues they were interested in.Li Yun and Han Yang are miserable in the United States, and they always complain to everyone.

-

A WeChat group where Zhao Wentao and Zhou Haiyan were not invited was drooling.

Han Yang: "I'm exhausted. I worked until 3 a.m. yesterday before going back to the hotel to rest. I even sent an email to Lao Zhao to report the situation before going to bed. I was exhausted."

Guo Chen: "Everyone is the same, you still have to go out of the country anyway, we are forced to stay in the company to provide technical support for you, and the reference is the time in the United States."

Han Yang: "There's a lot of pressure, and there are frequent equipment problems. The probability of it being resolved before the Spring Festival is very small."

Wang Huan: "This year's year-end bonus must be in vain, and this month's wages will be deducted again. Yesterday Lao Zhao and Zhou sister talked to me in a spirited manner, telling me that the company has no money in the account, and there will be no money in the future for a long time. Performance, resign if you don’t agree. He also pretended to introduce me to the job.”

Guo Chen: "They also talked to me about something similar."

Chen Hao: "It's been a year of hard work, basically working overtime every day, and the salary was deducted in the end. It's really chilling."

Li Yun: "I won't do it if my salary is deducted this time."

Chen Hao: "We still have to wait until we find another job before resigning. Your son has just been born, so there is a lot of pressure."

Li Yun returned a helpless expression.

Han Yang: "After the equipment was shipped out last year, the company is also in this half-dead state, killing the donkey."

An Ding was upset, and said, "I said why everyone objected. Dr. Zhao insisted on shipping out the equipment. It turned out that it was to deduct everyone's wages and not pay year-end bonuses. If the equipment waits until the end of the year to leave the factory, there will be demand for it during this period." Everyone, if there is no year-end bonus, everyone will not work hard."

To the point, everyone gave thumbs up and praised.

-

Ding Wei returned to Nanjing again.In the evening, An Ding went back to the residence alone. The room was very quiet, and because there was no air conditioner, the temperature in the nest was also very low.

An Ding was extremely disappointed, and lost the enthusiasm for work when he first joined the company.He was not in the mood to care about the cold, took out his cell phone, lay down on the bed, and pulled a corner of the quilt to cover himself.

"Ding Wei, are you asleep?" An Ding asked when the phone was connected.

"Not yet. Why do you want to call me so late? You can't just come home from get off work." Ding Wei was surprised, and An Ding called him at 10 o'clock.

"I'm upset. You said that I work hard for the company, and the salary is not high. How come I don't get respect and attention? After the equipment was shipped out, Dr. Zhao approached everyone to talk about performance deductions, and he just treated me. , didn't even make a move to inform me, which made me very depressed." An Ding said wearily.Rather than saying it for Ding Wei, it is better to say it for yourself.

"Don't be so discouraged. Whether I tell you or not, the result is the same. Anyway, it will be deducted. Dr. Zhao is this kind of person. He bows his head when he asks you for help, and becomes arrogant when he gains power. I also agree with the news in the WeChat group just now." I saw it, everyone said he was wrong. In fact, he also guessed that everyone was talking about him behind his back, as long as it was not on the surface, he would pretend not to know with a cheeky face."

Ding Wei's consolation didn't seem to have much effect, An Ding was still unhappy.

"You will probably be even busier tomorrow." Ding Wei changed the topic, "There is an exhibition here in Nanjing, and a certain leader from the city will come to visit. Dr. Zhao should bring the spare prototype from Wuxi to exhibit."

"No way, when? The racks packed with instruments have already been shipped to the United States, and the company doesn't have any ready-made."

If time is tight, An Ding will have to work overtime to make preparations.

"It should be Friday." Ding Wei said the time.

"Today is Monday, it's too late to pack the shelves, so I probably won't participate in the exhibition." An Ding speculated.

We talked for a while, and it was getting late.An Ding picked up the large fruit orange bottle that Li Yun brought last time, and poured boiling hot water into it. The plastic bottle swelled and deformed due to heat, and it couldn't find its original appearance.An Ding twisted the cap of the bottle to make sure it was tight before stuffing it into his bed.He washed his feet with excess hot water, washed briefly, and went to bed.

An Ding wrapped herself up tightly, but still felt that there was a leak somewhere, so she moved the hot water bottle back and forth under the quilt over and over again.The weather is getting cold, it seems that we need to buy a small heating sun.

The next day, the atmosphere in the company was tense.Zhou Haiyan approached Anding, told about the Nanjing exhibition, and asked Anding to pack the prototype on Thursday.

Zhao Wentao pretended to hand over the matter to Zhou Haiyan, but Zhou Haiyan didn't know how to design, so he spread his hands and asked An Ding to complete it.Zhao Wentao always likes to play tricks like this. It's not easy for him to be directly responsible for An Ding when he has such a tight schedule and heavy tasks, so he pretends to find a person in charge, but in fact it is still in An Ding's hands.This method made too much, An Ding could see clearly.

An Ding tossed and tossed for a long time, drove out the drawings, and transferred them to Shao Qing for outsourcing processing. After saying that the delivery time would be two days, Shao Qing looked embarrassed, "It's so rushed again, it's like reincarnation. Where can I find a processor?" Shao Qing Qing patted her head, bit the bullet and called for consultation.

Just as Anding and Shao Qing had finished discussing this side, Zhao Wentao ran over to urge them over there.

Zhao Wentao stood behind An Ding and asked, "Have you started making the shelves for packing? When will it be ready?"

"The drawings have been sent to Shao Qing. He just found a processor, so I don't know if it will be too late." An Ding originally wanted to tell Zhao Wentao the exact time, but he was afraid of what might happen to Shao Qing, so he answered ambiguously.

Shao Qing turned around and reported to Zhao Wentao: "The processor said that it will be ready on Thursday at the earliest."

Zhao Wentao pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Thursday may be too late. I will participate in the exhibition on Friday, and I will be transported to Nanjing at noon on Thursday and need to be debugged. Time is tight. You are urging them to work overtime. It is best It can be delivered before get off work on Wednesday. If there is any problem, you can take it back and have it repaired at night.”

Shao Qing was still in a dilemma, "Okay, I'll urge them again."

Zhao Wentao said to An Ding again: "An Ding, you also help to remind her."

An Ding let out a "hmm".

Zhao Wentao said to Chen Hao again: "Xiao Chen, you and Wang Huan cooperated to test the equipment a little bit to ensure that it can exercise during the exhibition."

Chen Hao tapped on the keyboard, without looking at Zhao Wentao, and said flatly, "Okay, we will go into the laboratory to test after Han Yang's problem is solved."

Zhao Wentao nodded. "After assisting Xiao Han, you should hurry up and take the test. It is best to be able to move tonight. This is also very important."

After explaining, Zhao Wentao walked away with a lot of satisfaction.

Seeing Zhao Wentao walking away, Shao Qing whispered to An Ding: "It's like a neuropathy. Every time the time is pressed so tightly, the processor can't keep an eye on it 24 hours a day. If it is so tight, people will find it annoying. ah."

"No way, he urged us, we can only urge the processor." An Ding spread his hands helplessly.

Afterwards, Zhao Wentao came over whenever he had free time to ask about the progress. Although he was used to it, An Ding was still worried that the processor would not be able to deliver on time.The unease lasted until Thursday morning, when the processors delivered the shelves.An Ding called several men from the company and prepared to pack.

Zhao Wentao came over and looked at the shelves. "Check the shelf to see if there is any problem. Don't pack the instrument, and it won't be shipped to Nanjing this time."

Everyone is suspicious.

"Is it delayed over there in Nanjing?" Chen Hao asked.

"The city leader who went to visit was investigated, and the exhibition was temporarily canceled." Zhao Wentao's expression was gloomy. "At first, I wanted to transport the instrument to demonstrate it, and then cheat some money. Now the leader who visited was arrested."

"I also watched the news in the morning. Mayor Yang participated in the activities normally yesterday morning and gave a speech on party discipline and state law. He was taken away without warning in the afternoon." Guo Chen flicked the screen of his mobile phone, and after locating a message, Pointing to Chen Hao at the side, "Look, this is the one."

Others also stretched their heads to take a look, intentionally or unintentionally.

An Ding looked depressed.It's not that he regrets that Zhao Wentao's wishful thinking has failed, but that he feels that his busy work has been wasted.

An Ding sent the news to Ding Wei via WeChat, and Ding Wei responded with a smiley emoji and attached the text: "It's good to cancel, or I'll be too busy."

An Ding returned a contemptuous look.

☆, go home

The Spring Festival is here, no matter whether you have harvested or not, this year will eventually pass.After the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, some people put down their work early to be with their families; We must work hard for the work.

Zhao Wentao and Zhou Haiyan conspired for a long time, and finally sent an email to all the people in the company.

Dear colleagues:

There is a project, the customer said, if it is done, it will be delivered in March.The time is tight. Is there anyone willing to work overtime in the company without going home during the Spring Festival? The overtime pay is 3 times the salary, of which 4 times the salary will be credited immediately, and the other 2 times the salary will be paid after the customer is satisfied.If you are willing, please go to Xiao Zhou to register.

Zhao Wentao

During the festival when the birds return to their nests, everyone is not in the mood to go to work, and usually forget it. If you don’t go home during the Spring Festival, you will be more wronged.There were boos in the office, and An Ding said: "It's not easy for Dr. Zhao to make money, and it's even more difficult to earn Dr. Zhao's money."

Everyone knows Zhao Wentao's purpose.Guo Chen always likes to take a break from his busy schedule, so he finds some year-end videos of the strange boss on the Internet to share with everyone, pointing at Sang Huai and complaining a few words.

No one talked to Zhao Wentao, everyone wanted to go home early, especially Li Yun and Han Yang who were far away in a foreign country.I heard that Li Yun's wife even called Zhao Wentao specifically, saying that the child was unaccompanied and there was a lot of trouble, and hoped that Li Yun could come back soon.In this way, Li Yun returned to China a few days earlier than Han Yang.In fact, the time to return to China has been extended for half a month, and the equipment has not been able to operate normally.

On the second day after Li Yun came back, the company organized a dinner party, and the place was chosen at a barbecue restaurant, which was shabby and aggrieved.It can be seen that Li Yun has worked very hard in the United States. He used to walk with his head up and his chest high, and he was arrogant. When we saw each other, he no longer had the same feeling as before, and the smile on his face was not as bright as before.During the meal, Wang Huan joked: "Lao Li has lost a lot of weight, and his breasts are gone."

Zhao Wentao originally said that he would have a holiday a long time in advance, but Chen Hao couldn't wait to tell Tang Juan the news early. They planned their itinerary during the Spring Festival, and they had arguing about which one to go first, but Zhao Wentao's holiday arrangement made their argument automatic. Solved, Chen Hao needs to re-plan the schedule according to the statutory holidays.Chen Hao's original plan was to go back to his hometown in Anhui with Tang Juan in his brother-in-law's car. His brother-in-law works in Changzhou and is not restricted by the company's working hours, so it is natural to go back very early.At the dinner table, Chen Hao bluntly talked about the holiday with Zhao Wentao, Zhao Wentao smiled embarrassedly, that kind of smile gave people a cheeky feeling, and An Ding was very disgusted.

Of course, Chen Hao is not alone in worrying about the vacation.

"When are you on vacation?" An Ding's father, An Zhengbang, called to ask An Ding.

"The afternoon of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month."

"It's so late, then your mother and I will go back to our hometown first, and we won't wait for you. We have to buy new year's goods when we go home."

"Ok."

In fact, no one will wait until the day before the Spring Festival to go home. Everyone asks for leave three or four days in advance and goes home.When everyone left the company, Han Yang had not returned from the United States.

On the day An Ding returned home, the road was already very congested, especially at the Jiangyin Bridge, which spans the Yangtze River. During holidays, people who left Wuxi would be persuaded to stay, and those who came to Wuxi would be turned away.

Anding's hometown is an ancient town called Anfeng. If you search on Baidu, you will find that Fan Wenzheng, who "concerned the world before him", once left a historical story here.

When An Ding got off the train at the station, his younger brother An Hao was already waiting at the gate of the station, sitting on the electric car at home.A dog was lying on the frame, staring at An Ding leisurely, its tail was sweeping back and forth, but it didn't intend to get off the car.

"Is this my dog, so big?"

"Yes. The longer it grows, the more it changes. The hair that used to be brown is now yellowish-white."

An Ding originally wanted to put the bag on his back on the frame, but now the dog has occupied him, so he has no choice but to carry it on his back.

An Ding got into the car and drove.The two drove home with a dog.

"How did this dog get used to riding in the car?" Sitting in the car, An Ding said hello.

"Who knows, now as long as the family pushes the electric car, it will jump on the car immediately, and it can't be chased away." An Hao said interesting things about the dog with great interest.

The house of An Ding's family is a small two-story building. The east side of the house is next to the kitchen. People here are used to building the living room and the kitchen separately.When we got home, An Ding's mother, Zhang Xuping, was standing at the kitchen door.

"Put your things down and come over for dinner." Zhang Xuping said, then raised her head and shouted upstairs, "Zhengbang, my son is back, come down for dinner."

The family sits down around the table and prepares to eat dinner.

"I bought two bottles of dry red in the supermarket this afternoon, do you want to try it?" An Hao asked An Ding.

"Yeah. Bring it here." An Ding said.

An Hao ran out and in, brought a bottle of red wine, opened it, and filled Zhang Xuping, An Ding, and her own glasses.

"Dad, would you like some?" An Ding asked.

"No, the red wine is too weak and has no taste. I'd better drink white wine." An Zhengbang said.

The Spring Festival holiday officially begins with the first dinner. The family toasts to celebrate, talking and laughing.

Life at home is comfortable, An Ding watches TV every day and plays with the dog.An Ding's father, An Zhengbang didn't know when he fell in love with fishing. The water in the countryside is relatively clear and free of pollution, and the wild crucian carp he caught was directly eaten at home.

On New Year's Eve, the weather was fine.

After paying respects to the ancestors, after lunch, An Ding said to An Hao, "Let's go fishing in the afternoon."

Hearing it well, I became interested.The two packed up their fishing gear and walked towards the river. The family dog ​​happily followed behind with its tail raised high.

An Zhengbang was worried, and not long after his two sons reached the river, he also ran over.

"How about it, did you catch it?" An Zhengbang asked.

"I just put the hook down." Anhao said, pulling the pole to see if the fish took the bait.

"Scatter some fish food."

"It's been sprinkled, but not much," An Ding said.

An Zhengbang sprinkled several handfuls of fish food in one place, took the fishing rod in An Ding's hand, adjusted the float, and threw the hook to the place where the fish food was fed.An Zhengbang arranged everything properly and turned back.

"Puppy, go back." An Zhengbang called the dog.There is a habit in his family, no matter how old the dog is, it is called "Puppy".

The dog squatted beside An Ding, with its ears pricked up, looking up at An Zhengbang, but it didn't intend to get up.

An Ding looked at the dog and laughed.He felt that his dog was a little spoiled and proud.You must know that his father used to have a violent temper. He didn't talk much, but he also said what he said. In recent years, his temper has become better and better. After half a century, his two sons have grown up, and their hearts have become more open-minded.

-

The night before, An Haoxian was too cold outside, fearing to freeze the dog, so he dug out a cardboard box at home, stuffed a few old clothes in the box, and put it next to the sofa in the living room on the second floor.He took the dog upstairs and carried him into a cardboard box.The dog is smart, knowing that it is arranged for it, and sleeps in the cardboard box confidently.For the first time, Anzhengbang did not object to the smartness of the dog. He said, "This dog is smart."

"It's better to drive it outside. It's so dirty to sleep upstairs, and it hasn't been bathed. In the afternoon, I saw it running around with other wild dogs in the field, knocking out all the wheat seedlings. "Zhang Xuping was a little disgusted.

"Mom, let him sleep on it, it's very cold outside."

Zhang Xuping wanted to chase the dog away, but Anhao was stumped.

"Zhengbang, take care of your son." Zhang Xuping said to An Zhengbang who was lying on the sofa and turned on the TV.

"Let him go, as long as he's happy." An Zhengbang looked indifferent.

Zhang Xuping had no choice but to give up, "It doesn't hurt to stand and talk one by one, and the shit is at home, you clean it up."

After An Ding washed up, she sat on the sofa and saw the dog squinting, looking at ease and peacefully.So he reached into the kennel. "It's so warm on a dog."

"Really? Let me take a look." Anhao also stretched out her hand.

The dog lost its temper after being provoked by the two, and simply turned over, waiting for someone to tickle its belly.

The dog still lived up to Zhang Xuping's expectations. When cleaning in the morning, she found dog feces and urine in the corner downstairs.

"An Hao, clean up the shit." Zhang Xuping ran to An Hao's bedroom and called him up.

"In the middle of the night, the dog barked for a long time, and no one paid attention to it. I guess I went downstairs to solve it." An Zhengbang found a reason for the dog.

-

An Ding and An Hao are indeed brothers, they are not suitable for fishing, and they put their fishing rods aside after standing by the river for less than half an hour.The riverside in winter is indeed a bit cold. The cool wind blows on the face, making people shiver. The withered reeds are by the riverside, swaying from time to time.

Such a person is destined to fail to catch fish in such weather. An hour later, the two packed up their fishing gear and went home with a plastic bucket. There was only one small fish in the bucket, and it was safe to catch.

Not catching any fish did not affect the mood of the Chinese New Year at all. At [-] o'clock in the evening, I finished the group members' meal with my grandparents, An Ding and An Hao went home early.

Firecrackers sounded one after another, resounding through the sky. The dog was so frightened by the "bang bang" sound after another that he couldn't drive away even if he hid at An Ding's feet.

It's also comfortable to be stable, sitting on the sofa and sending blessing messages to classmates and colleagues.

-

Chen Hao: "Have you eaten dinner yet?"

An Ding: "Eat it. Have you?"

Chen Hao: "Not yet, the dumplings are just out of the pot."

An Ding: "You eat dumplings over there, we don't have the custom of eating dumplings during Chinese New Year."

Chen Hao sent a questioning expression, "What would you eat if you don't eat dumplings during the Spring Festival?"

An Ding: "Big fish and big meat. I've gotten a little fat these two days."

Chen Hao: "Have you read the company's WeChat group?"

An Ding: "No, I didn't join the company's group. Why, I started giving out red envelopes."

Chen Hao: "Fuck, Lao Li and Dr. Zhao got into a fight."

An Ding: "No way, Lao Li has such a good temper, he will endure ordinary things. What did Dr. Zhao do out of the ordinary this time?"

Chen Hao: "You said, Dr. Zhao is really serious. On New Year's Eve, he forced Lao Li to send an email summarizing the installation of the equipment in the United States. Isn't this sick? Lao Li said that Dr. Zhao directed blindly and did not know how to manage it. The two hit it off."

An Ding: "It's really too much. If you send an email two or three days later, you will die? But Dr. Zhao doesn't like to hear others say that he can't manage well, even though it is true."

I remember that in another meeting, Shao Qing complained that the processor could not deliver on time, and when the management was not good, An Ding obviously saw Zhao Wentao's embarrassment, and his perfunctory smile was particularly unnatural.

Chen Hao: "You didn't see it, we didn't dare to intervene, so Sister Zhou jumped out to add fuel to the fire, say something, stick to the leadership of Dr. Zhao. It's ridiculous."

An Ding: "Sister Zhou is that person. She likes to come out to show her loyalty at critical times. However, it can't be blamed. If Dr. Zhao didn't start a company here in Wuxi, she would probably only be able to do the work of an ordinary aunt."

Chen Hao: "Yes. I won't chat with you anymore, the dumplings are ready. Happy Chinese New Year."

An Ding: "Happy Chinese New Year."

Putting down the phone, An Ding felt a little funny.

☆, bar

The first day of the new year is a watershed. The small days before the year were easy, but these few days in the first month are indeed difficult.Rural people are used to visiting relatives and treating guests to dinner. It was okay when I was young, but now I am old, An Ding can’t accept it. Seven aunts and eight aunts always gossip about finding a partner, when will they get married, and so on. became the focus of discussion.In the past two years, An Ding has never been so concerned that it cannot be stepped down.Last year, a relative was drunk. In order to put pressure on An Ding, he gave An Ding 20 yuan in front of everyone, saying that if he didn't bring a little girl back, he would not give him face.An Ding thought, I have to avoid him this year.So she planned to leave home early, and An Ding originally wanted to buy tickets for the fourth day of junior high school, but Zhang Xuping disagreed, because there were so many dishes at home, so she had to wait an extra day before leaving.Unable to resist An Ding, I can only buy tickets for the morning of the fifth day of the lunar new year.An Hao originally wanted to go back to Wuxi with An Ding, but was stopped by Zhang Xuping. This time, An Zhengbang expressed his support.

In fact, An Ding came two days early, and the company went to work on the seventh day of the new year.Anding didn't go directly back to the dormitory near the company, but went to his home in Guangyi Xingyuan.When I went back to my hometown during the Chinese New Year, all the refrigerators here were emptied, and the nearby shops hadn’t opened yet, so it was hard to find a place to eat.An Ding bought some noodles for lunch at the Carrefour supermarket.

When it's busy, people tend to talk too much.Feeling lonely and boring when alone.When people are bored, they will think wildly, and An Ding is no exception.At night, An Ding was lying on the bed, thinking of Chen Hao, he should be living together with that woman Tang Juan now, thinking about it, his thoughts went astray, and he felt a jealous pain in his heart.An Ding thought of Ding Wei again, that guy who could see through himself at a glance, wouldn't he still be the young master of KTV, right? There should be many handsome men and women in that kind of entertainment place.Thinking of entertainment venues, An Ding remembered the bar that he passed by on his bicycle, what was it called?By the way, "Shang Feiyu", there were two men kissing at the door of the bar.Thinking of this, An Ding couldn't help feeling nervous and excited.

An Ding decided to go to the bar to have a look, he had never been to a bar before.

To his surprise, Baidu Maps actually located this bar.The last time I just rode aimlessly and didn't confirm the location of the bar.An Ding was dressed neatly, and rode his family's bicycle towards the bar. He originally wanted to take a taxi, but he was afraid that his brother would remember him. He thought that many people would take taxis in such entertainment venues. Of course, my brother knew him. .Just like the elder brother Yang Zidao in "Sunspot", he is very familiar with the bars at the end of the century.An Ding hasn't decided to expose himself to the broad daylight, he doesn't like others pointing at his life.

Entering the gate of the bar, the stereo inside is playing passionate music.The place facing the door is a bar counter. There are tables and chairs in the east and west directions of the bar counter. There is a catwalk in the innermost part, which is probably used for performances. There are colorful lights hanging above the head, flashing rhythm with the music.

"Boss, Gong Xi Fa Cai!" During the Spring Festival, An Ding often put auspicious words on his lips.

"Happy New Year. Sir, are you alone? You came here so early." The bar owner saw that this person was a new face.

"Alone, come and take a look." An Ding noticed for a moment that there was no one else in the bar except the boss and a guy.I guess it's because I came early, that's right, people who celebrate Chinese New Year basically stay at home, who would come here to spend time and drink.

"How long do you drive at night?" An Ding asked the boss.

"You can stay as long as you want," said the boss.

An Ding found a place by the wall to sit down, and the boss brought a list and asked An Ding what he wanted to drink.

"Have a bottle of cocktail first."

The boss charged Anding 30 yuan, and soon delivered a bottle of alcoholic beverage and a plate of broad beans.Because they didn't know each other well, the boss didn't strike up a conversation with An Ding too much, and went on his own.

The scene in front of him was far from what An Ding had expected. There should always be people drinking and chatting in the bar, as well as strangers who came to strike up a conversation, but now he was the only one sitting here like a fool, without saying a word.

To be honest, An Ding was a little tired after sitting in the car all morning. The roar of the music made his brain unable to think about it. He lay on the sofa seat, feeling sleepy, and fell asleep unconsciously.

When An Ding woke up again, the bar was already popular, and several people sat at the round table in the middle of the bar and started singing.

"I don't want to ask where you are anymore

I don't want to think about whether you can come back

thinking about your heart

thinking about your face

want to hold it in my chest

If you can't let it go, don't let it go"

An Ding was still lying down, listening to the singing.Not to mention, that person sang quite well.An Ding likes to sing, and always likes to hum a few words when he has nothing to do, but everyone has different preferences. When he was in school, several classmates thought the songs he chose were too old.At work, it's okay, if you go to KTV to sing, some people will praise him for his good singing.The last company K song, An Ding sang Cui Jian's "Nothing" as soon as he came on stage, which immediately stunned everyone.It is said that An Ding took the bold and unrestrained line, while Chen Hao took the warm and sentimental line, and Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung's lyricism was well controlled.

After all, I am not familiar with this place, otherwise An
