Difficult round

Tan Xiaolei came back to Gu Yan when it was almost 9 o'clock, and directly dialed a voice call:

"I'm sorry, Brother Gu, I had a meeting all day today, and I forgot to bring my power bank. The phone ran out of battery in the afternoon. The old professor talked like a mantra, and almost didn't tell me that he fell asleep."

He does sound tired, but he's still joking.

Gu Yan couldn't help laughing: "Teacher Tan has worked hard!"

He had a social event at night, and he had just come back. Drinking was inevitable at the wine table, but he didn't dare to drink too much, for fear of making a joke and embarrassing him.

Fortunately, he has trained a lot in drinking over the years, and it is no longer a problem to cope with ordinary meals.

And when he is in his position, he can decide whether or not to drink and how much to drink, most of the time he can decide by himself, which saves a lot of trouble.Unlike the time when I just graduated, I had to be grateful to Dade, to the leaders, and to the partners for enjoying the wine after drinking to death.

After drinking, he was prone to thirst, so he changed into his slippers and went to the kitchen to pour a cup of hot water to drink.

"It's really hard for me to imagine you listening to the old professor's lecture in a serious manner. It should be quite funny."

I don't know why these words hit Tan Xiaolei's laughing point. He kept laughing while covering the phone, and after laughing, he took the initiative to provoke the topic in the morning:

"Hey, Mr. Gu has seen my resume, is he planning to recruit me?"

Gu Yan walked to the living room, sat sideways on the single sofa, held the phone in one hand, and a glass in the other, taking a sip of water from time to time.

In front of him was a whole glass wall, and it was because of this glass wall that he settled on this apartment without hesitation.

He always said that Shen Xi's temperament is like an old lazy cat, he likes to lie on the deck chair on the balcony to read a book and bask in the sun in winter, and once he lays down, he won't move the nest easily.

So as soon as Gu Yan saw this glass wall, what he thought of was to lay a soft blanket on the floor, and then Shen Xi could lie on it and bask in the sun while reading his favorite book, or just lie down and do nothing. all day.

They can also kiss and make love on it, and do whatever they want.At that time, Shen Qi would definitely cry a lot, hoarsely begging him to call him husband.It's exciting to think about.

Later, they did indeed do many red-faced things under that glass wall.He will probably never forget Shen Xi's appearance of propping up the glass wall with both hands, raising his neck high, and begging for mercy.

At that time, the living room was lit with warm yellow lights, and there were thousands of lively lights outside. Gu Yan only felt that his heart was full, and there was a Shen Qi inside, and the whole world was contained in his heart.

Because Shen Qi is his whole world.

Very hypocritical.Very silly x.

But at this moment, the lights outside were still bright and lively, but he saw his tired and lonely figure through the glass wall.

Gu Yan put the glass on the tea table, got up and walked over, opened the curtains, and covered the entire glass wall.

"If you really like designing this profession, I certainly welcome you to join, but if... for some other reason."

Gu Yan paused, did not speak for a long time, Tan Xiaolei did not urge him, and listened silently.

"In short, I hope that when you make this choice, you will consider your own thoughts and future to the greatest extent, be cautious, and don't be impulsive or hot-headed."

Tan Xiaolei still didn't speak.

Gu Yan then joked: "Teacher Tan, you are an iron rice bowl now, why can't you think about returning to the ranks of social animals, you belong to the gods and don't know the sufferings of the world, right?"

What I said...Tan Xiaolei couldn't help laughing again: "Okay, Mr. Gu, thank you for your kindness, I will seriously consider it."

The news of Shen Qi and Zhao Qianjin's quarrel spread faster than Zhao Qianjin's confession to Shen Qi, and within two days the whole company knew about it.

Human nature is the most realistic, those colleagues who greeted Shen Qi with a smile before avoided him like snakes and scorpions, and those few team members under him were obviously avoiding him except for work.

Shen Xi doesn't blame them, they are all lowly social animals, it's not easy for anyone, there's no need to offend the higher-ups because of that colleague, get put on little shoes or even lose their jobs.

Excessive is the fat manager.The dead fat man probably felt that he fed the dog with all his enthusiasm, and that Shen Qi was not worth it, so he started to see if Shen Qi's nose was not his nose and his eyes were not his eyes, and made all kinds of intentional obstacles to make things difficult for him.

It's true that Shen Qi has a good temper and a soft temper, but he also has his own bottom line. In private, anyone can dislike him, but when it comes to work, he has to argue hard.

But the fat manager likes not to distinguish between public and private, so Shen Qi and his team members revised a plan seventeen or eight times.

It's okay to change it, after the modification, the fat man directly rejected the plan with a big wave of his hand, and decided on another group's plan that was obviously not as good as theirs.

He also picked on Shen Qi and scolded the plan that their team had worked so hard to make worthless and like shit.

The fat manager was transferred in the second year after Shen Qi started working. He likes employees with a sweet mouth and can talk. Shen Qi not only doesn't flatter him, but also always refute his "wonderful" ideas.

The two endured each other's dislike for four years, except for the occasional quarrel.

But this time Shen Qi didn't want to bear it anymore. At the end of the meeting, he had a big fight with the fat manager in front of everyone in the marketing department, and the fat manager was so angry that he wanted to fire him loudly.

Shen Qi didn't wait for anyone to open it. Twenty minutes later, he took a picture of the resignation letter on the fat manager's desk, then took his own things, walked out of the office without looking back, and out of the company building.

Nothing to regret or struggle with.The moment he decided to speak clearly with Zhao Lingling, he knew that he would leave sooner or later.There is no need to implicate colleagues in the entire group because of yourself.

And he had long wanted to have a big fight with that fat man.happy.

It's just... standing downstairs in the company, what Shen Xi looked at was the building opposite, where... there was Gu Yan.

He walked out from here today, and he didn't know where his next job would be. Maybe he would never have the chance to eat in that Hong Kong-style tea restaurant again.

If there is a regret, it is probably this.

I don’t know what kind of stimulation Tang Yan received from studying abroad in the past few years. Anyway, since returning from abroad, the former otaku who was unwilling to go out of the door has become a complete social freak. They yelled, drank and ate.

Two days before Christmas, I talked about a Christmas party in the group.Usually there are always friends who are willing to talk to him, but now no one responds.

On such an important day, those who have a date have passed with the date, and those who have no date have taken advantage of this opportunity to find a date. Who cares about you, you rough old man.

Shen Qi watched Tang Yan's misery for 10 minutes, and then replied very coldly and mercilessly, "It's something, next time".

It's fine, I just don't want to go out.Now that he is broken in love and unemployed, he is really not in the mood to go to friends and drink and brag about sex, let alone sell miserably.I did it all by myself, so I have no face to say it.

Just as he was about to put his phone on the bed and run to take a shower, he received a fucking call asking him if he would be home on New Year's Eve.

Shen Qi hasn't been home this year, and he hasn't been back on May [-]th. The last time he went home was last year's Chinese New Year.

"No. 2 Yunjie got married, you can have a banquet when you come back." Mom said.

Yun Jie is a relative of grandma's side, and the relationship with Shen Xi's family is not particularly close but not far away, so he still has to call Shen Xi brother.

Shen Qi has no interest in eating banquets, and there are three days off on New Year's Day, so it takes two days to go back and forth, and all the time is spent on the road, which is too much trouble.

"It's too troublesome. I'd better wait until the Chinese New Year before going back. Anyway, it's only a few days away."

The new year is early this year, the beginning of February is the new year, Shen Qi and his company usually have a holiday half a month earlier, so the Spring Festival holiday is indeed not far after the New Year's Day.

"Okay, then come back during the Spring Festival." His mother sounded a little unhappy, but immediately changed the subject and said, "Bring your girlfriend back?"

I don't know when it started, every time before Shen Qi went home, his mother would ask this question, and once she got a negative answer, she would nagging him——

"I have worked hard all my life, and I do all the work at home by myself."

"After giving birth to a son, I can't compare to others in anything. I'm useless and unmotivated."

"It's not good at work. If you hang around, you're a group leader. You can't find a girlfriend. Others at your age have sons fighting soy sauce."

"I really owed you father and son in my previous life."

……

These words were repeated over and over again, not only on the phone, but also in front of him.That's why Shen Qi became more and more reluctant to go home.

Of course, Shen Qi knew that his mother had worked hard for the family for most of his life, and he saw her hard work in his eyes and kept it in his heart, but he really didn't like his mother talking about it all the time, which made him very sad. uncomfortable.

"No. I...don't have a girlfriend yet."

"I know." He said.Mom's tone was even colder, "When I was in middle and high school, there were never any love letters from girls in my schoolbag. When it's time to fall in love and get married, I can't bring any of them back."

"Your Aunt Wang knows a few girls. Let her go on a blind date for you when you come back from the Chinese New Year. They are almost thirty, so what's the matter if you don't get married..."
