Balance beam

Palin answered the phone, apologized, and stepped aside.

The slightly stiff atmosphere was relieved a little because one of them walked away. Li Jia couldn't help gripping the cup tightly, his fingers trembling slightly.

Looking out of the window in a daze, the seasons are like spring.He closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath, tried his best to mobilize his expression, and finally pulled out a stiff smile, imagining what Palin would say when he came back, and how to answer so that he would not be embarrassed.

Palin sometimes smiled heartily, sometimes whispered softly, talked on the phone endlessly, and had a tall and handsome back.Although Li Jia felt neglected, he couldn't help but be attracted by the charm emanating from Palin.

No idea who he was talking to.

Back then when he learned that Palin was married, his heart was like a knife, and he was absent-minded for a while.He is obviously his own person, but now he talks and jokes to others, and those cares, whispers, and admiration are all poured out to others.

At the beginning of no relationship, there will be a sense of relief.Sometimes I feel lonely, but because I moved to a new city, my work and life are very busy, and the feeling of numbness in my heart is gradually covered up.

With the accumulation of time, the sight of paying attention to Palin has never been broken. All his reports will be paid attention to, and the few words about him during the chats of his parents will be absorbed with all their strength, wanting to know more.

After sorting out his true thoughts, Li Jia knew what it was like to be heartbroken.

Perrin's voice came from time to time, sounding soft and whispering.Li Jia waited for him to come back, hoping that he would give himself a smile as he did in the days when they were together, even if it was a hypocritical perfunctory.The man turned around and walked away.

Palin didn't see Li Jia off, so Li Jia walked all the way home.

It was raining lightly on the road, and because my chest was tight, I didn't hide from the rain, nor did I buy an umbrella, and kept getting drenched home.

Seeing that Li Jia's shoulders were soaked, Jiang Jiang immediately shouted a lesson, "Dad, you lost your umbrella again? Didn't I put it in your bag this morning? How did you come back from the rain? Where is your bag? It's lost." ?”

Li Jia's heart skipped a beat in fright, "No, that...why are you at home?"

Jiang Jiang took out a towel and wiped his father's head. Li Jia's head was rubbed by him until he became dizzy.

"Fortunately, I didn't go to make up classes tonight. You just don't know how to take care of yourself. What should you do if you are sick? Grandma said, when I was young, you passed out because of a cold and fever. If she didn't find out in time, your life would be in danger. One At first I didn’t believe it, I thought she was exaggerating, but now I believe it, no wonder she always told me, let me take care of you when I go home during the Chinese New Year! Everyone is a father who takes care of his son, you are good, I have to remind you of everything. Dad , I found that you really don’t have any common sense in life, and you are too mentally handicapped. Just the two of us live, you say, what will I do if you fall ill? The water heater has been turned on, so go take a bath!"

Li Jia took a hot shower in a daze. When he came out, Jiang Jiang had already cut up the vegetables and was about to cook. Li Jia snatched the shovel from his hand, "You are not needed here, go and learn."

"Are you okay?" Jiang Jiang questioned angrily.

Li Jia repeatedly assured that "I can do it, I will do it." The dishes he cooked were not special, and they were not at the same level as Jiang Jiang's cooking skills. In Jiang Jiang's words, they could be summed up as "barely edible".

Sure enough, when the dish was served, not only was the color unsatisfactory, but sugar was misplaced as salt.Jiang Jiang complained about a meal, "How do you eat this?" "Broccoli fried meat needs sugar, hey, I've never heard of it." "Dad, the shape of salt and sugar are different, you can see it if you look at it." Come out!" Li Jia smiled and rubbed Jiang Jiang's hair, "Let's make it up! I'll make you braised chicken wings tomorrow." Jiang Jiang bit his chopsticks and his eyes lit up, "Really?" Then he turned his head slightly and questioned, "No Will you treat salt like sugar and put it in?" Li Jia burst out laughing, and the haze in his heart disappeared completely.

When Palin contacted Li Jia a week later, he said, "I'm sorry, I walked away temporarily that day, are you not angry?" The man's voice was still so charming and very seductive.Li Jia took a deep breath, and slightly pulled the phone line with his fingers, "It's okay, I understand, I don't care."

Palin paused, "Let's have dinner together, and talk about the project by the way." Of course Li Jia agreed, but put down the phone, feeling uneasy.Li Jia can still guess Palin's attitude towards him.Breaking up at the best time is like being robbed of a beloved pet. The lack of affection cannot be replaced by just anything.

Because of the knot in the past, when we are together, we often feel as if we are choked in the throat, and we are reluctant to give up, so we force ourselves together, until the feelings are completely hurt, and there is no half nostalgia, there will be no regrets, and we can let go Go on with the rest of your life.He is not Zhu Chongba's pearl, emerald and white jade soup, but he has to face up to the embarrassment of being a chicken threat.

Li Jia waited for Palin to get bored, and then he would give up.

The location is Zhouji, a seafood stall, which is considered a high-end hotel in the local area.But Palin's complexion was very ugly, Li Jia pretended not to know, his eyes kept wandering elsewhere.

Li Jia excused himself from a technical background and was not professional enough to talk about business, so he temporarily pulled the general manager Zhou Dazhi over.Zhou Dazhi was of course winky, smelling ominous air from the delicate atmosphere.Perrin narrowed his eyes slightly and teased Li Jia. Li Jia blushed and muttered to resist. On the surface, it seemed like a joke among friends, but there must be something in it.

After a meal, Zhou Dazhi almost choked, and there was no progress on the project.

Many people greet each other out of face, are they also in this kind of polite relationship?My cousin often said that Jiang was still old and hot, and he didn't take it to heart when he stood out from his peers at a young age. Now he can only lick his tongue secretly, hating himself for not seeing people well.

Zhou Dazhi is also regretting his decision. If he accompanied this big client by himself, he probably should have signed a contract at this time, and Li Jia was sent to communicate. Like a holiday.

Palin felt blocked in his heart, and his expression became more and more indifferent.Looking at Li Jia up and down, there were endless discussions.He is such an indifferent person, would I still take advantage of him?He actually brought someone else on such an occasion, he was just so awkward.When you told him that you would die without him, didn't you just leave?

Palin felt that people like Li Jia were even more hateful, and said to him in a daze, "Palin, I seem to like you." It was ten thousand times worse than those intentional emotional liars, because it was unintentional, so After making Qian Peilin miserable, he retreated with an innocent expression on his face.

Li Jia was really uncertain about the new leader's temper. Seeing Zhou Dazhi's face getting worse and worse, he kept beating the drums in his heart.

When Palin got up to go to the bathroom, Zhou Dazhi patted him on the shoulder and talked with a smile. He asked him what the relationship between Palin and him was, how far the project was concerned, and whether it was a rebate or a discount?Li Jia agreed grumblingly, and only said, "Ordinary classmates, we don't have a deep friendship. We haven't reached the point where we can talk like that. You should talk to him about the price!" Zhou Dazhi was so angry The blood was suffocated in the chest cavity, almost an internal injury.

The company Li Jia works for is small in scale and famous. Boyuan China-Hong Kong Joint Venture Co., Ltd. is actually solely owned by the boss.Zhou Dazhi is the youngest son of the boss's cousin.

The accounting department has the most female employees in the company. There are five cashiers, two accountants, and one accountant supervisor. In addition, the female employees in the outreach business department, and Director Lin who likes to gossip. They can't escape the rumors they spread by word of mouth.

Zhou Dazhi has a grand name, tall image, feminine appearance, broad shoulders and thick back, and light eyebrows. He was once the focus of gossip comments from the company's female employees.

It's just that his volatile temper has been criticized by the accountants who always like to care about everything.

Li Jia's relationship with the accounting department has always been good. He is a married man with a child, and his appearance is ordinary. Women have no expectations of him, and it becomes much easier to get along with him.As far as Li Jia's experience is concerned, anyone who is engaged in accounting work has some occupational diseases, and it has been extended to the point where he likes to calculate clearly and clearly in everything in life.I would rather eat AA meals than take turns sitting in the east.

The company does not provide lunch. Director Xu said that when they used to treat guests in turn, everyone was calculating the cost, hoping to spend the least money and get the best meal when others treat guests.If you always lose money, others will think you have been taken advantage of.Hypocritical accountants, fighting wits and courage will definitely increase your knowledge.

Li Jia is a man, so naturally he wouldn't haggle over them, and he was the most expensive one every time he paid the bill.Of course, women know that reciprocity and reciprocity are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, and they are reluctant to part with their own money, but the company's money.

The love of the women is overflowing, knowing that it is not easy for a single man to take care of children, they will always take care of Li Jia in private.

Li Jia has been upgraded to the level of women's friend after they have tried hard, and he knows the private affairs of several female friends in the company.The accounting room is also a closed space, the iron door is closed, it is common for outsiders to get in while eating snacks.

Li Jia has been coming frequently recently, and the women often joke around. "Director Li is coming to our office again. I will apply with the general manager tomorrow to set up a desk for you in our department." "I think it's good. I like to listen to Director Li." Speaking of which, I didn't know who it was that day, and I didn't dare to go to someone to sign." "Mr. Zhou's face, six of the eight hours of work is cloudy, one hour is sunny and cloudy, and one hour is thunderstorms." "What's wrong with Director Li? Willing to come and squeeze with us, he has his own office, and the berries that Director Li bought are delicious, where did you buy them?"

Li Jia and Zhou Dazhi have different positions in their hearts. Li Jia is an old acquaintance, and Zhou Dazhi is the new leader. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell the difference between superficial adulation and actual closeness.This is also the reason why Zhou Dazhi is unwilling to set foot here, and Li Jia prefers to take this place as a safe haven.

Palin would receive calls from time to time, and no one would dislike the kindness. Of course, he was looking forward to it, but he was also afraid of being disappointed.

Like an ant on a hot pot, Zhou Dazhi urgently needs to find Qian Peilin's breakthrough. Apart from Li Jia, he can't think of anyone else who can get in touch with this big president. Add here to find some overlooked scoops.

For Li Jia, it is undoubtedly a kind of torture to always ask him to talk about Qian Peilin.I’ve said it many times, but I’m not very familiar with it, but Zhou Dazhi doesn’t give up. Sometimes I really want to tell him, “That Mr. Qian likes men.” Others might be surprised, but Zhou Dazhi, even if he dedicates himself , as long as the project can be won, it doesn't matter.

Palin was clearly interested, but Zhou Dazhi never made any breakthroughs, and didn't give any hints, as if he was just teasing him.Qian Peilin is the big boss of the company, and if he doesn’t make a statement, he will put it aside for the time being. Zhou Dazhi is different, pointing to this project as a performance. Palin recently said that he has the intention of calling for bids. For Zhou Dazhi's sake.

"It looks like he is cocking his tail, but in fact he wants to flatter others." Although the women are bored, some words will still touch the center. ""It's a pity that we can't realize his ambition here, Director Li, what do you think?" "Don't embarrass Director Li, he doesn't talk about people's quality." "Li Jia, where does your son want to take the exam next year? ?”

Manager Yang Fan's relief did not relieve the women's gossip, "What kind of woman can he hold his heart?" They are either married, remarried, or engaged in extramarital affairs, and the remaining older young men are either problematic or gay." "Then you say Zhou Dazhi is problematic or gay?" "Haha, Not sure, maybe it is, I’ve never seen him have a girlfriend.” “That’s right, he has a woman’s face.” “It’s disgusting, stop talking.” “Yes, stop talking Homosexuality is the most disgusting." Xu Fan was resonated, "Who said homosexuality is a disadvantaged group, people are not disadvantaged at all, our family is the neighbor, and they even sold me expired cosmetics, my God, where are we? There are a lot of people who buy his things, and I later found out that the price of more than 100 lotions is less than [-], how dark. Don’t mention it. Li Jia, you should stay away from Zhou Dazhi in the future, it’s disgusting , you mean no?"

This city is different from my hometown, with simple folk customs, but also a lot more conservative.

Li Jia's head was swollen when they asked whether the left one was right and the right one was right, and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Yes!"

Li Jia quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at Yang Fan meaningfully. The supervisor smiled, "Why are you looking at me like that?" It's purely expressing ideas.

Li Jia once worked in an environment that was not tolerant, and the pressure he endured at that time has left Li Jia with lingering fears.If they're really in trouble, don't try to have a good time no matter what.Li Jia cherishes the friends he made here and the small achievements in his career. If he leaves again, he will feel very sad.

The women were laughing and chattering again, but Li Jia couldn't hear a word.

When Li Jia came back to refill his tea, he found Palin sitting at his desk with a large volume of drawings spread out in front of him. Director Lin stood aside, sometimes pointing and sometimes explaining with a smile.Li Jiada opened his eyes, "When did you come here?" Palin lowered his eyelids and didn't look at him, and muttered in a low voice, "If you open it harder, it's still a line."
