June in Shanghai is a rainy season. Xia Xia, who grew up in Shanghai, is not used to the humid Shanghai. She can't stand the thin drops of water hanging on the walls. If she reaches out and touches them, a large area will get wet. She can't stand it.
She couldn't stand the fact that the ground was dry all the time, and the soles of her shoes were dirty when she stepped on them. She couldn't bear not being able to see the sun for a week, so she had to wait for the clothes to dry slowly in the shade after washing them.
Xia Xia looked at the calendar and found that it had been four months since she returned to Shanghai. If the baby was still there, it would have been seven months. A seven-month-old fetus has grown up and is just waiting to gather enough strength to pop out of the mother's belly.
.Every time she thought of this, she would unconsciously touch her belly and stare out the window in a daze.
"What are you thinking about..." Guo Wei patted Xia Xia on the shoulder, "Are you ready for the contract?"
"Well, okay, you can set off at any time!" Xia Xia regained her energy, picked up the folder and waved it in front of Guo Wei's eyes, "Everything is ready, all we need to do is sign the contract."
Guo Wei smiled with satisfaction, "I have been busy for two months just for this day!" She turned around and shouted to everyone, "I will come back after signing the contract today. We will go to the KTV to celebrate. If anyone has anything to do, ask Jia Nan for leave!"
"Okay~" Everyone clapped their hands.
Xia Xia followed Guo Wei out of the company. They had been in contact with each other for more than a month and finally reached an intention to cooperate. The profit brought by this business was the company's usual quarterly profit, so Guo Wei personally took action. Today is the day to go
She signed the contract, so she took Xia Xia with her.
"Xia Xia?!" Someone called her softly, seemingly unsure.
Xia Xia looked up and asked, "Li Mingquan?" She looked at the signing representative with wide eyes, "When... did you return to Shanghai?"
Li Mingquan lifted his eyes. He put them on after he came back. He was afraid that Xia Xia wouldn't be used to it. "I came back a long time ago. When Qitai was acquired by Tianhan, I came back! Why are you in Shanghai too?"
"
"I...I'm back too!" Xia Xia lowered her head and stopped talking.
"The world is so small, we can meet in any way." Thinking of the past, Li Mingquan felt a little embarrassed. "This is considered fate. Let the past be bygones, how about it?"
Xia Xia thought exactly the same. She and Li Mingquan were also friends, "Haha, I...I forgot about it a long time ago!"
Guo Wei saw that the two knew each other, and Xia Xia was a little at a loss. She quickly interrupted, "Manager Li, let's get down to business and sign the contract first!" If he had known that they knew each other, he should have pulled Ning Xia out from the beginning.
You’ve already made money by now!
"Okay..." Li Mingquan took the contract, signed his name, and typed in his company seal.
He returned the contract to Xia Xia, "Let's get together if we have a chance..."
Xia Xia looked at him awkwardly, "Okay."
"Okay, done!" Guo Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Manager Li, our company is going to KTV tonight to celebrate the success of this cooperation. I wonder if you are interested in joining us?!"
"Okay, I can't ask for it, so I should celebrate it too!"
After bidding farewell to Li Mingquan, Guo Wei drove Xia Xia back to the company. Along the way, Xia Xia kept looking out the window in silence, always recalling certain things when meeting old friends.
Guo Wei is not a woman who pries into other people's privacy, but seeing that Xia Xia is in poor mental condition this year, it is natural for her as a boss to care about her as a friend. She found a topic and asked, "Li Mingquan is an airborne soldier who returned from Australia half a year ago. You guys
know?"
"Well," Xia Xia's eyes returned to the car, "We were colleagues before."
"No wonder, you all are so capable!" Guo Wei praised.
Xia Xia was embarrassed, "No, he is capable, I just went to fool around, and then I met a person... who taught me this and that."
"who?"
Xia Xia was stunned, "I... my fiancé." This was the first time she confided this information to Guo Wei. The last time she was drunk, she told Chen Yiheng, but Jia Nan pressed her the next day to tell her everything, so facing Guo Wei
Wei had nothing to hide. She knew that Guo Wei was not a talkative person.
"Oh~" Guo Wei saw her expression and stopped asking any questions. She returned to Shanghai alone and must have cheated on her fiancé. "Do you want to hear my story?"
"I'll listen to what you want to say."
"I once had a fiancé, and he taught me a lot. We started a business together and worked hard together, and later became somewhat successful. But with more money, higher status, and higher human desires, he only knew how to climb up.
"We had more and more conflicts... and then we broke up." Because Guo Wei was driving the car and didn't elaborate, but the simple words contained the scars of a woman's youth.
"Sister Wei..." Xia Xia was not surprised. She had always known that Guo Wei had his own story, but she felt sorry for Guo Wei's youth. "Sister Wei, forget the past and find someone to live a good life."
Guo Wei smiled and said, "Haha, what you said is true, okay, I will adopt it!"
Xia Xia knew that Guo Wei couldn't let go, so she was just comforting herself by saying this. She suddenly admired Guo Wei for being willing to love a man for so long. Maybe she would continue to love him and keep this feeling for her fiancé alone.
From a career perspective, Guo Wei is successful. She runs her own company, is the boss, and supports a team of more than 20 people. But from an emotional perspective, she is a failure. She is still married at the age of thirty-five.
Wandering on the path outside the city gate, not even daring to get close to the city gate. Maybe God is fair and has given women a vigorous career, but cannot give a plain love at the same time.
After being away for so long, Xia Xia felt that she missed Zhou Han more and more. Missing him was as necessary as breathing. Zhou Han, how are you doing? Have you forgotten me?…
Only half of the people went to the party in the evening. Colleagues with families naturally asked for leave because they wanted to take care of their families, but this did not affect everyone's carnival at all. In the large KTV box, everyone was scrambling to grab the microphone and sing. Usually work pressure is high
, now is a good time to vent. Li Mingquan came during halftime, and he was a little reserved at first. Later, everyone drank and punched, and it didn't matter whether they knew each other or not.
Carnival is the loneliness of a group of people. This sentence is absolutely correct. Look at the people around you who are drunk, and look at Jia Nan, occupying the microphone and yelling.
She originally planned to get married with Chen Yiheng on May Day. Xia Xia also joked that she would wear a sexy bridesmaid dress to steal the bride's charm. However, fate was not as good as fate. Chen Yiheng got drunk and hugged her at a dinner a week before the wedding.
He had a relationship with another woman, and that woman fell in love with Chen Yiheng, and even went to the company to argue with Jia Nan. The marriage was ruined, and so was their relationship.
Watching Jia Nan singing there while crying, she sang as hard as she wanted, but no one dared to interrupt. After Jia Nan finished shouting, he wiped his tears and coughed, "I'm so tired, Ningxia Xia, it's time to
Come on, don’t hide in the corner all the time, come and sing a song for me!”
Jia Nan was finally willing to put down the microphone. Everyone was begging for it and pushed Xia Xia to the front. Jia Nan ordered the song and put the microphone into Xia Xia's hand, "Sing well, take out the song we participated in the school team singing competition back then."
At my level, don’t embarrass me~" She was obviously drunk.
Xia Xia looked at the LCD screen, damn Jia Nan, what song is not good, but I chose this one.
