Chapter 157: Pacifying Instability
Gu Chen's eyes looked at the distance softly, his fingers touched the edge of the wine bottle back and forth, and he intermittently talked about his experience in the past four years, maybe he had been suppressed for a long time, or he had never told anyone the secret in his heart, and slowly said it, and the things that had accumulated in his heart also dissipated.
Xiang Mian sat aside and listened quietly, her eyebrows and eyes lowered, and she didn't make a sound, she knew that Gu Chen had suppressed it for too long, he had never exposed his emotions outside, and he was finally able to speak today.
The door was not closed tightly, and the cold male voice, mixed with the sound of the wine bottle falling to the ground, kept coming out, and in this lonely night, the two hearts may be closer together.
During this long night, Gu Chen held a wine bottle in his hand and intermittently told the past. Xiang Mian listened on the side, and the male voice in his ear slowly lost his voice.
Looking sideways, the man leaned against the head of the bed, his eyes tightly closed, and the bottle was still in his hand. As if he had dreamed of something, the corners of Gu Chen's mouth had a faint smile.
Xiang Mian looked at him, and his eyes became gentle. This night, Gu Chen said a lot, Xiang Mian didn't expect that in the past few years, he had experienced so many things alone, and finally climbed to the top despite all difficulties, but was pushed down by someone.
looked at the thin clothes on the man's body, got up and carefully avoided the wine bottle on the ground, took out a blanket from the cabinet, and gently draped it over Gu Chen.
After tossing this day and drinking so much wine, Gu Chen slept soundly and was not awakened. Xiang Mian sat aside again, quietly looking at the man's face,
It seems that the two of them have been together for three months, and neither of them has sat down to have a good chat, and they are working at high intensity every day, rushing from this venue to that venue.
Xiang Mian was suddenly grateful for this incident and gave her the opportunity to take a good look at this man. Gu Chen's eyebrows suddenly moved, startling the girl, and she hurriedly looked away.
I glanced back quietly with my peripheral vision, but found that the man hadn't woken up at all, and I breathed a sigh of relief at the moment. The two of them tossed until late, and Xiang Mian's spirit could no longer support it, so he leaned aside and slowly fell asleep.
In the distance, the sky slowly revealed white, and the earth was shrouded in fiery golden light. Birds chirped in the branches, and the bright flowers in the garden swayed and danced in the wind.
When the sunlight shone into the room, through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, a man and a woman, sleeping together, with their heads resting on their heads, scattered wine bottles, the light shining even more dazzlingly.
As if stabbed in the eyes by the sun, the man frowned slightly. The eyelashes fanned slightly, and I opened my eyes, and I couldn't help but be stunned.
The girl was sleeping next to him, her hair was scattered on her face, her hands were tightly wrapped around her chest, Gu Chen looked down at the blanket she was wearing on her body, lifted it and put it on Xiang Mian's body.
Quietly walked over the wine bottle on the floor and out of the room.
With a "click", the door was closed, and Xiang Mian, who should have been asleep, slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the empty position around him, there seemed to be a man's breath in the air.
With a warm smile on the corner of Xiang Mian's mouth, he got up and opened the window in the house, and the cool breeze in the early morning blew in, blowing away the smell of wine in the house.
looked at the alarm clock at the bedside, hurriedly returned to his room, took a shower, and prepared to go to work at the company. Listening to what Gu Chen said yesterday, my heart was even more determined, I couldn't let Gu Chen's career be ruined like this.
When I went downstairs, I saw Gu Chen sitting upright on the sofa, leisurely flipping through the newspaper, as if it wasn't him who was drunk and irritable last night, and there was still a cup of steaming tea on the coffee table in front of him.
Xiang Mian retracted his gaze and hurried out the door. Gu Chen raised his eyes and saw the girl's back flashing, heard the sound of the car starting outside the house, put down the newspaper in his hand, raised his hand and rubbed his sore temples.
On the way, Xiang Mian thought of several plans in his mind, and was going to hold a meeting when he went back. I parked the car and entered the company, but I stopped at the door and did not enter the door.
"Gu Chen's popularity is no longer good, and he can't get a job now."
"Yes, yes, my friend called me to ask about it."
"I'm going to pay the rent soon, and if I can't pay my salary, I won't have a place to live."
The colleagues in the room gathered together and chatted. Gu Chen is in this state, they are all worried that their jobs may not be able to be saved, and some people are already looking for their next home.
Xiang Mian listened at the door, and the hand on the handle slowly clenched. She planned everything, but she forgot that not all of them were like her, supporting Gu Chen unconditionally.
Pushing open the door and walking into the company, the colleague who was chatting saw that the person who came was Xiang Mian, and hurriedly returned to his desk.
It was a noisy room, but it was quiet in an instant. The sound of people flipping through documents sounded in the sway.
Xiang Mian stood at the door, his eyes sweeping over everyone. was originally a kind face, but now his brows are furrowed, and his eyes have become sharper.
In this matter, the door of the office was pushed open, and Manager Zhao walked out with the documents that had just been studied, and saw that Xiang Mian and the two of them were stunned.
Xiang Mian looked at the document she was holding in her hand, which was Gu Chen's business contract before, and her heart suddenly warmed. Unexpectedly, at this moment of crisis, Manager Zhao did not abandon them.
Turning his head again, the other colleagues who were pretending to be working hard, thinking about the words they had just heard at the door, the hands hanging on the hem of their clothes clenched into fists, and cleared their throats.
"I haven't said that the company is closed, you guys have researched it yourself, right?" It is no longer as gentle as before, although it is plain but enough to shock people's hearts.
There was a low pressure in the office, and no one dared to raise their heads and look at Xiang Mian. "What? Is no one talking about it now? Isn't that a pleasure to not talk about just now? ”
The majesty revealed in his tone, and the frowning brows still did not loosen, "Gu Chen is just not popular now, but he still has qualifications, and your salary company will not owe you anything." ”
After Xiang Mian said this, he turned around and walked to the pantry and poured himself a glass of water. Walking out again with a glass of water, the office was still silent.
Manager Zhao listened to this on the side, looking at Xiang Mian's serious appearance now, and was very relieved. Recently, there has been a lot of gossip in the company, and there is no work, no one looks at them, and there is more time for gossip. Xiang Mian's appearance today is enough to make them stop for a while.
Walked aside with the documents and talked to Xiang Mian about what she had just thought. Manager Zhao understands in his heart that Gu Chen is now just a matter of popularity and reputation, and as long as he comes up with a work, he can reconquer the public.
