Maybe it’s because I’m about to go abroad, or maybe because many people know that I’m going to work as a secretary for Governor Huang, my phone has rarely been quiet recently. (.om plain text)

The explanation is the same every time: It’s not necessarily true. I didn’t want to go. It’s almost always the same two sentences.

After many times, I got bored and wanted to throw away my phone but I didn’t dare. So I had to keep repeating these words again and again, which made me feel bored again and again. But after the boredom passed, I started to feel better: It turns out that this seat is like this

of people's attention.

Of course, many people invited me to dinner or drinks, and they all said they wanted to congratulate me. Most of these people were people from our hospital or school, but I politely declined them all after expressing my gratitude.[

To be honest, these sudden invitations made me a little overwhelmed, and they also made me panic: Wouldn’t it be a joke if I couldn’t get to that seat? So, in my heart, I was very excited about going abroad this time.

Things felt more stressful.

Today I have agreed to have dinner with Zeng Yufang, which is one of the reasons why I refuse all invitations. It is not that Zeng Yufang is so important to me, but that we have to do things together. She is right, since we are going out to do things,

Then we should cooperate with each other. The basis of cooperation is mutual understanding.

But there was a call I had to answer, and her call made me very embarrassed, because the call was from Chang Bailing.

Her first sentence was to ask me: "Are you free tonight?"

I rejected her just like that last time. Later, under the auspices of Kang Demao, we sat together. Although the atmosphere at that time was a bit false, the attitudes of both parties were relatively clear. In other words, both she and I had already expressed our opinions to

The other party revealed a message: the past has passed, and we are still friends. Later, Kang Demao said something to me, and I thought it was right: everything is for future work, and future work is with individuals.

future are closely linked.

Therefore, her call made me feel embarrassed immediately, and her question made me even more at a loss.

"President Chang, this..." I said, "I really have something to do today. Because I will go abroad the day after tomorrow, I have to discuss the recent work with the people below. I have already informed everyone.

"

Her voice suddenly became dissatisfied, "Feng Xiao, what did you call me?"

Of course I knew why she was dissatisfied, but I could only pretend not to know, "Mr. Chang? Did I call you wrong?"

"Feng Xiao, I know you are still angry with me about what happened last time, so I really hope you can give me a chance to be alone with you so that I can explain. You said that we can almost be regarded as husband and wife.

Except for the lack of the marriage certificate. Think about it, would I be such a passionate person? Didn't I also handle your father-in-law's affairs for him later?" She said with an extremely soft voice.

I said: "Don't talk about the past. Even if I was angry at the time, it was already in the past. You are right, I should understand you. In fact, De Mao also talked to me for a long time after dinner that day. I think

What he said is right. Life is actually very short, but the relationship between friends is the most important. President Chang, my wife passed away recently. I have thought about it a lot these days. In short, there is only one thing, that is, I feel that I should not have done it.

I feel very guilty to do those things that betrayed her. Therefore, I hope that we will always be friends, but we can no longer do the things we did before. Therefore, I also very much hope that you can understand me. President Chang, Sister Chang,

I do have something to do today. Let’s find time to have dinner together after I come back from abroad, okay? Also, please don’t worry, I’m really not angry anymore. Now I’m only angry with myself. I feel that I

Everything I did was too much."

"Feng Xiao, you can't do this. I really like you." Her voice was trembling.

"Don't be like this, Sister Chang. We are all adults, and you have a family and a husband. You can't be like this. I am so heartbroken now that I no longer think about everything that happened in the past. Sorry, that's it.

Come on." I tried my best to make my voice gentle, and then hung up the phone.

I think it is necessary to maintain a relationship with her, but if she tries to maintain the same contact with me as before, I will never make that mistake again. No matter what, this is what I am thinking.

However, Tao Tao called me a while later. After the call was connected, she immediately said: "Brother Feng, thank you."

I said, "Why are you thanking me? I haven't done anything for you."

She said: "What happened today..."

I said, "What happened today? Why can't I remember? That's it, I have other things to do."

Her voice suddenly became louder, "Wait a minute! Brother Feng, I still have something to tell you." [

I said calmly: "Just tell me."

"President Chang asked me to contact you and ask us to sit down together in the evening," she said immediately.

I suddenly became irritated: Is this Chang Bailing sick? Haven't I made it clear to her? Why did she ask her assistant to call me again?

Suddenly, I thought of a possibility: maybe Chang Bailing thought I had an abnormal relationship with Tao Tao, or thought that I liked Tao Tao very much.

Thinking of this, I immediately knew that I should express my attitude immediately, so I said to her coldly: "I'm sorry, I'm not free. That's it."

Then I hung up the phone. Now, I no longer think about the future. In my opinion, the most important thing is to stop thinking about Chang Bailing immediately.

I looked at the time and thought it was still a little early, so I drove home immediately. I needed to find a quiet place to call Zhang Shiyu.

To be honest, I hesitated for a long time before making this call. Only I can fully understand that uneasy feeling.

The call went through, but it took her a long time to answer. Her voice was unclear and she spoke in English, "Who is it?"

I hurriedly said: "I am Feng Xiao." Of course I spoke in Jiangnan dialect.

Her voice suddenly became clearer, "Oh, Feng Xiao, I'm having dinner."

Then I suddenly remembered the time difference, "What time is it over there now?"

She said: "It's eight o'clock in the evening. It's three o'clock in the afternoon over there, right? We have a five-hour time difference. By the way, why did you suddenly remember to call me?"

I said: "I have been coming to your place in the past few days. I came to see you on behalf of your father."

"Really?" She suddenly became happy. But her happiness made me worried, "Yes. I will text you the specific time."

"That's great. Feng Xiao, I miss you so much," she said.

"Don't... let's just do it. Let's talk slowly when I get there." I said. Only now did I realize that my original plan to talk to her on the phone had turned into this.

Difficulties.

"Feng Xiao, don't you care about the phone bill? How about I call you over the Internet?" She said immediately.

"Haven't you never contacted me? It's very tiring to talk on the phone. Anyway, I will be at your place in a few days. Let's talk slowly then," I said.

"I thought you had forgotten me a long time ago. There are so many women around you," she said.

"Don't talk nonsense." I said hurriedly, "Let's leave it at that. I'll talk about it when I get here. By the way, don't let your mother know about this. When the time comes, I'll only see you." I said immediately.

"Okay then." She said.[

I hung up the phone immediately, of course not thinking about the phone bill. Ever since Principal Zhang told me about letting me go abroad, I have been thinking about it. Although Principal Zhang didn’t say it explicitly, I had to understand him.

Meaning: He really wants to return to China with Zhang Shiyu. (.om pure text) Therefore, his ex-wife cannot know about this matter. And for me, I don’t even want to meet Kang Zhixin. Until now, I still don’t want to meet Kang Zhixin.

I feel sick about what happened that day.

The call finally came, and I felt as if I had completed a very important task. After thinking about it, I immediately sent a text message to Principal Zhang: I have contacted your daughter.

After I sent it, I immediately started to scold myself: Why did you send this message? Who are you? A slave?

In the evening I made an appointment with Zeng Yufang and went to a restaurant by the river. I really like to watch the river scenery in winter there. I think the desolation on the river is also a kind of beauty. At this moment, I really have the feeling that Su Dongpo once had.

I have the feeling of "Looking back at a place that has always been desolate, it has also been sunny and stormy".

Yes, the past is past. Although my past was so unbearable, it was also an experience and a different kind of life. And now, in the future, there is still hope waiting for me.

On the second floor, there is a seat next to me, several exquisite dishes on the table, and a bottle of red wine. I ordered the dishes, and she asked for the wine. In fact, I don’t like drinking red wine, because I hate romance, and it is slightly sweet with a little bit of red wine.

The smell of alcohol and the inability to drink freely made me feel that Hong had lost his masculine temperament.

Perhaps Zeng Yufang likes this kind of atmosphere. After all, she is a foreign language major. It is said that most foreign language majors are romantic, passionate, and even very open-minded. I don't know if the woman in front of me is like this.

"Thank you, Feng Chu, I can finally have a meal with you alone today." She raised her glass to me and said with a smile.

I smiled bitterly and said, "Are you criticizing me or praising me?"

She immediately laughed, "I'm really touched. Really. Originally, I thought you would tell me when you got off work that you had other plans today."

I shook my head and said with a smile: "You never thought that I would be such a dishonest person in your heart."

She also smiled, "Absolutely. But I am really happy today. Feng Chu, come here, let me toast you."

I shook my head, "No, it's my turn to respect you. I am the director in name only, and you are doing the work, so I should thank you."

She said: "No, you do all the big things. I should do all the trivial things in daily life."

I smiled and said, "Okay, let's compliment each other. Come on, let's not talk about work. Let's drink together. Let's have a drink together, okay?"

She smiled at me and said, "Okay. Then let's drink."

This drinking is actually just a quick drink, and then we go to eat. When drinking red wine, it is impossible not to become a gentleman, and it is impossible to be bold. This thing is like a tool to make people polite.

It's a tool, no matter how much you don't like it.

"Let's go to Beijing first, then take a flight to Hong Kong for transit, and then take a flight from Hong Kong to New Zealand. I didn't expect it to be so troublesome." I said immediately, because after drinking that glass of wine, we suddenly stopped talking, so I almost

I'm looking for something to say.

She said: "Yes, it is very troublesome. But the most uncomfortable thing is the ten or so hours from Hong Kong to New Zealand."

I immediately laughed and said, "I've thought of a good idea."

She asked me: "What's the best way?"

I said: "I'm going to stay up the night before, and then I'll start sleeping hard after I get on the plane. I'll be there when I wake up. How good is this?"

She immediately laughed, "This is a method commonly used by many Chinese, and foreigners admire us for it. They say, oh, we bought it! The Chinese are really amazing, they can sleep so well."

She imitated the weird voice of foreigners speaking Chinese, and stretched her hands to both sides, shrugging her shoulders, looking surprised, the standard foreigner behavior. I immediately burst out laughing, "That's really it.
