It was already past eight o'clock in the morning when I walked to the community. Because I felt uncomfortable all over, I had postponed my scheduled work to the afternoon. As soon as I opened the door, I saw two gift boxes on the table. I was curious.
After closing the door, I walked in and saw that the gift box was still covered with a note.
"I'm sorry Duoduo, it was my fault that day. These two things are used to make amends. As long as you are not angry, when I come back from get off work, I will show my face and slap you." A note left by Wei Liang.
I opened the gift box on the table. It was a pair of pink genuine leather boots from Tianyi. When I saw this thing, my nose suddenly sore. I had seen this pair of shoes when Wei Liang and I were shopping in the mall last month.
When it arrived, because it was made of genuine leather on the outside and rabbit fur on the inside, the price was nearly two thousand yuan. Two thousand yuan meant one month’s rent for us, but I didn’t take it off for a long time after trying it on because I was really wearing it.
nice.
At that time, we had just left school, and the money in our hands was barely enough to support ourselves. How could we have enough money to buy such expensive shoes? What about now? Since Wei Liang went to work at the Cultural Affairs Bureau, our lives have changed.
I've already had a quarrel over this once, and I won't try to persuade her a second time. If she thinks this is her choice, I can only bless her.
The other box was a chocolate mousse I bought from the first floor of the CBD. It had a big "sorry" on it, which immediately made me feel a lot warmer.
I picked up the phone, pressed Wei Liang's number, and called him.
"Weiliang." The call was answered, "I accepted the gift, thank you."
"Duoduo, wait a minute, I'll go to the bathroom and talk to you," Wei Liang lowered her voice, and the sound of high heels "dumming" came from the other end of the phone, "Duoduo, why didn't you come back last night? You know what I mean?
I'm almost dying of anxiety. Are you and Xia Haoyu really in love? Tell me quickly."
"That's right, but now I suddenly feel that we are not suitable for each other." Thinking of the things he did that I couldn't approve of, I told the truth.
"I've said it a long time ago. Although Xia Haoyu is a bit powerful in the bar street, in the final analysis, he is just a gangster. How can he compare to our Zhang Ju, who is mature, stable and rich, you..."
"I have to get ready to go to work. Let's talk about it when we meet in the evening." Suddenly I realized that there was a big difference in values between Wei Liang and I, so I didn't want to say more.
"Okay, I'll pick you up after get off work in the evening, just wait!"
After hanging up the phone, I looked at the time and saw that it was already half past nine in the morning, so I hurriedly washed my hair and changed clothes. After everything was completed, I picked up my bag and went out.
After I arrived at the company, I suddenly found that everyone was polite and distant towards me. I suddenly felt overwhelmed. Even the man who usually yelled at me all day no longer dared to yell at me.
, when someone came in to make copies, before I even stood up, he ran to that person.
At first I thought it was the boss's order, but later, several mobile customers who came in and asked for typesetting were picked up by two other colleagues, which made me irritated.
The boss may want to fire me. Whoever asks me to take leave every three days when I have nothing to do, and being late is not considered late, may dislike an employee like me.
Until I got off work at six o'clock in the evening, I was still sitting at the window in a daze. I used to do at least a dozen documents and the like in an afternoon, but now, I don't even have one.
I walked out of the door feeling disappointed and forgot to say hello to my colleagues. After taking two steps, I saw Wei Liang standing next to the car waving to me.
I walked over in despair, and after just two steps, I saw Zhang Youze sitting in the back seat. After another closer look, it turned out that Su Liangwen was sitting in the driver's seat.
In a sense, I feel that Wei Liang's invitation for the four of us to eat together has contributed to some kind of connection between Zhang Youze and I, but I don't need it.
"Duoduo, Director Zhang said he knows a family that serves good Sichuan food. Let's go over and eat tonight?" Wei Liang walked towards me and said with a smile.
"Weiliang, aren't we two having dinner? Why..."
"It's so boring for two people to eat. Besides, Director Zhang heard that you like spicy food, so he specially chose a Sichuan restaurant. It's just a meal. Is it possible that he can eat you?" Wei Liang looked at me and teased.
said.
"But……"
"Lin Duoduo, are you still angry with me? Come on, let me stick out my face and hit you. Can you hit me?" As Wei Liang spoke, she leaned towards me with her face close to hers, and was immediately frightened.
Made me jump.
"Okay, I'll just go, but I can't come back too late, I have to go to work tomorrow."
Wei Liang nodded heavily, pulled me and pushed me into the car. Su Liangwen and Wei Liang were in the front, and Zhang Youze was the only one in the back seat. I smiled awkwardly and sat down against the car door.
"Did you not have a good rest yesterday? Why are there such big dark circles under your eyes?" Zhang Youze looked at me and asked naturally.
"No, it's fine." I responded in a low voice. In order to avoid the misunderstanding of the two people in front of me, I moved my body slightly and almost sat down against the car window.
But why hasn't Xia Haoyu contacted me at this time? Didn't he react at all after seeing me leave? Or is it because something big happened at the bar yesterday and he is so busy that he doesn't have time to contact me now?
Really, I just lost my temper, how could he...
"Do you like spicy food?" Zhang Youze's voice came to my ears. I turned to look at him and saw his gentlemanly smile.
"Well, it's okay." I answered perfunctorily, with various reasons why Xia Haoyu didn't contact me running through my head.
"I heard something happened to Juese, does Duoduo know what happened?"
"Have you heard about it too?" I turned to look at Zhang Youze and asked nervously: "Just in time, I have a question to ask you."
"whats the matter?"
"There is a bar owner. One of his employees was addicted to drugs, and he stabbed a person in the bar. The person who was stabbed was said to be dying. Do you think the owner will be implicated?" The story is told like this.
After the adaptation, Zhang Youze shouldn’t be able to tell who I’m talking about, right?
"Is there anyone in Jingse who sucks fans?" Zhang Youze's voice reached my ears, and I was immediately startled.
"This... isn't a stunning bar, it's another bar." I tried to argue.
Zhang Youze nodded thoughtfully and said: "This kind of thing is very simple, but it is not simple either. It depends on the person's connections."
"kindness?"
"Let's put it this way, if the bar owner's connections can get some people in charge of the employee's case, the problem can be easily solved, but if he can't, he may be implicated." Zhang Youze replied in a slow voice.
"Oh..." I nodded in understanding, looking out the window, thinking about Xia Haoyu, wondering what kind of person he was.
"Don't worry, Xia Haoyu is not that easy to get unlucky. Instead of worrying about him, it is better to think about what to eat later."
"How did you know it was him?" I looked at Zhang Youze in surprise, then turned to look at Wei Liang and Su Liangwen who were sitting in front chatting, and whispered: "I didn't say anything!"
"Duoduo, Philadelphia is such a big place. Everyone knows if there is any trouble, but don't worry, I am 100% sure that Xia Haoyu will be fine." Zhang Youze looked at me and said seriously.
Hearing what Zhang Youze said, I immediately relaxed a lot. I watched the car parked at an antique Sichuan restaurant. We got out of the car and walked all the way to the private room on the second floor and started ordering. During this period, I
I checked my cell phone once, but there was no caller ID. I felt a little disappointed. Fortunately, the Kung Pao Chicken and Mapo Tofu on the table were authentic enough. Wei Liang and I cleared them up in a short while, but Zhang Youze was the one.
I and Su Liangwen were holding wine glasses and tasting it slowly, and it didn't look like they were here for dinner at all.
After dinner, Wei Liang suggested that we go to sing. I was reluctant to go. Wei Liang thought I was too disappointing, so she pulled Su Liangwen and refused to let go. As a result, it was Zhang Youze's turn to see me off, and the two of them continued to have fun.
The so-called drop-off for me was that Zhang Youze's driver came over, and then the two of us continued to sit in the back seat. There was a faint aroma of wine on the tip of our noses, which immediately made me a little confused.
Fortunately, Zhang Youze kept leaning on the back seat and squinting his eyes without making any unusual movements. Because the place to eat was on the second ring road and passed Zhang Youze's residence first, so the car stopped there first, but Zhang Youze leaned against it with his eyes closed.
, the driver didn’t call him, I looked at my watch anxiously, then gently pushed it and said: “Ju Zhang, Ju Zhang, you’re here...”
Zhang Youze opened his blurred eyes and looked at me and said, "Are we here? I'm dizzy..."
"Then wait a moment, I'll go over and help you..." He quickly got out of the car, worried that Xia Haoyu would find out that he was going back too late, so he turned half a circle to the other door, opened the door, and helped Zhang Youze get out of the car.
Walk.
"This wine has great staying power..." Zhang Youze opened his eyes in a daze and looked at me and said.
"It's okay. You'll be fine when you get home. Come on, I'll take you up..." I quickly stabilized my position. God knows how difficult it is for someone of my size to help a big man who is about 1.8 meters tall.
"Well, sorry to trouble you..." Zhang Youze smiled like a gentleman, raised his feet and walked towards the apartment building. When he reached the door, he went to take out the key card in his hand. Unexpectedly, his body became unstable and he fell on the glass.
On the door, I knelt down to pick up the door card, quickly opened the door, and pulled Zhang Youze towards the elevator.
Getting here was already a challenge for me, but looking at the dizzy man next to me, I could only grit my teeth, pull him and walk towards the elevator.
"Ju Zhang, which floor is it?"
"Which floor... I imagine it's the 33rd floor." Zhang Youze leaned on the elevator and looked at me with red cheeks and said.
I looked at a series of numbers and pressed 33. Looking at Zhang Youze who was a little confused, I asked with concern: "Are you okay? Do you want to vomit?"
Zhang Youze looked at me and said, "It's okay. I can't get drunk with this amount of wine. Thank you..." As he said that, he fell over. I walked over quickly. He was so bent that his head was leaning against
on my forehead.
The elevator door finally opened. I hurriedly pulled Zhang Youze forward. After looking at the room card and the room number on the door, I finally found Zhang Youze's room. After opening the door, I dragged Zhang Youze and walked inside.
, as soon as he entered the door, Zhang Youze ran towards a certain room, and then I heard the sound of "vomiting"...
