Chapter 145: Indulgence
However, looking at Gu Chen's news that popped up on the screen, Xiang Mian clicked in unconsciously.
It was the afternoon, Gu Chen participated in the video report of the opening event, looking at the voice of the man talking on the screen, the light smile that leaked out of his mouth from time to time, and the cold male voice in his ears.
Xiang Mian thought of the noon incident again, his eyes turned red unconsciously, the moonlight rose outside the window, and the noisy sound of the crowd on the side of the road came from time to time in the distance.
In the office, in the computer of the desk not far away, Gu Chen's cold voice came out, breaking the silence of the room.
The girl at the table was lying on the table, her shoulders shaking, as if telling Xiang Mian that she had been wronged. The moonlight shone in, and the soft moonlight shone on the girl's back, making it even more lonely.
Manager Zhao was at the door, looking at Xiang Mian lying on the table and sobbing, thinking about what he heard from his colleagues at noon. He lowered his head and thought about it, slowly walked to the table of Xiang Mian, and quietly stretched out his hand to turn off the video that was playing.
Xiang Mian didn't hear the cold male voice again, it came into his ears, and he raised his head suddenly, looking at Manager Zhao standing in front of him, and was stunned for a moment.
"Let's wipe it."
Manager Zhao looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes were red, there were tears on his face, he kept shaking his shoulders and sniffing, and pulled a few tissues and handed them over.
"Thank you."
Xiang Mian took it, with a thick nasal voice in his tone, and leaned sideways to wipe the tears off his face.
Manager Zhao stared at her for a while, then turned around and walked towards the pantry, and after a moment, he walked out with two water glasses in his hands.
"Drink some and warm your stomach."
As he spoke, he put one of the cups in front of Xiang Mian, pulled over a chair himself, and sat opposite her.
After taking a sip of hot milk tea, Manager Zhao slowly spoke.
"In the company, do you know what is the most taboo?"
Looking at Xiang Mian's big eyes, flickering, he smiled, "It's feelings." ”
Xiang Mian held the cup in his hand, as if he wanted to draw a little heat from it to warm himself. Hearing what Manager Zhao said, he was already in a depressed mood, but he was even more lost to the extreme, and his head slowly lowered.
Manager Zhao looked at the girl opposite, the aggrieved look, her expression moved, at that moment she seemed to see Xue Ziqing at the beginning, she was like this back then, sitting opposite herself, talking about her troubles.
Xu didn't want Xiang Mian to repeat the mistakes of the past and spoke again.
"You know Manager Xue, right? It was because of this that she never married in the first place. ”
Xiang Mian heard Manager Zhao mention Xue Ziqing, hurriedly raised his head and cleared his throat, "Aunt Xue, do you like your colleague or..."
But Manager Zhao didn't say anything about it anymore, just drank milk tea, waited until he finished the last sip, put the cup on the table, sat up straight, and said lightly.
"Mianmian, as a newcomer, you have done a good job now. Don't think too much, don't bring your emotions into it, you just have to remember this. ”
Xiang Mian didn't know why Manager Zhao said this, maybe she had been crying for too long in the afternoon, and she couldn't react to anything for a while, so she just looked at her blankly.
After a long time, Manager Zhao got up, looked at Xiang Mian still in a trance, and knocked on the table.
"The milk tea is cold, finish it quickly, and hurry home."
The tone was no longer the almost gentle teaching just now, but with a hint of sternness, which made people dare not refuse.
When Xiang Mian heard this, he hurriedly drank the water in the cup. I didn't eat in the afternoon, and I drank a cup of warm milk tea, and my body felt hot.
packed up his things, said goodbye to Manager Zhao, and walked home alone.
The early autumn nights are a little cool. Xiang Mian put his arm around his shoulders and looked at the street, where the leaves were slowly falling and returning to dust.
People come and go, three or three get together, look up at the sky, and even the moon has stars by the side. And he is alone, so he is not alone.
When I got home, I looked at the empty house, and I felt even more lonely. Thinking that on weekdays, as soon as he entered the house, Gu Chen either walked out of the room or poked his head out from behind the sofa.
Xiang Mian sat on the sofa in despair, and suddenly saw the newspaper that Gu Chen usually reads on the coffee table, and remembered the man's attitude towards him.
grabbed the newspaper from the coffee table and hid it behind the sofa cushions. It seems that this is the way it looks, and it can cover up Gu Chen's breath in this house.
Looking at the empty coffee table, Xiang Mian felt much more comfortable. Turn on the TV and think about passing the boring night. After changing a few stations, I suddenly watched the entertainment news and was reporting on the situation at the publicity scene this afternoon.
The figure of the man appeared in Xiang Mian's eyes again.
"Bang" turned off the TV hard, but his eyes were staring at the dark screen.
For a long time, as if helpless, he leaned his head on the sofa and slowly closed his eyes. In the living room, only the sound of the girl's calm breathing and the ticking of the clock was heard.
The moment the hour and minute hands coincide, the clock makes a "bell" sound. The girl on the couch was awakened, opened her eyes and looked around, but did not notice the voice she was expecting.
The housekeeper also heard the bell, walked out of the house, walked quickly to Xiang Mian's side, and whispered: "Miss Jane, is the young master coming back tonight?" ”
Xiang Mian looked at the time on the clock, and looked at the circle and the home was still empty. The housekeeper beside him was still asking about Gu Chen's whereabouts.
Thinking of the grievances he had suffered this day, Xiang Mian couldn't bear it anymore, and cried out with a "wow" sound.
The housekeeper stood aside, he didn't expect Xiang Mian to cry suddenly, and hurriedly persuaded him, watching the girl on the sofa cry more and more fiercely, he also panicked.
After half an hour, Xiang Mian slowly calmed down and went upstairs with a hic. The butler watched from behind the girl as she walked up the stairs, twitching her shoulders and sniffling.
That thin figure, he looked distressed. Turning around and thinking about it, he went to the kitchen and warmed a glass of milk, sent it to Xiang Mian, and told her to rest early.
Dim lights, deafening music, dancing crowds.
A familiar voice came from the private room in the corner: "Gu Chen, you can do it today." ”
That's right, it was Zhou Zixuan and Gu Chen in the private room, Zhou Zixuan and Gu Nian finished eating, they received a call from Gu Chen, and when they picked it up, they heard Gu Chen say it over there.
"Third child, accompany me to the bar at night."
After saying that, he hung up. Zhou Zixuan didn't have a chance to speak.
However, he listened to Gu Chen's deep voice, and this sentence had no beginning or end, Zhou Zixuan put it down and felt that something must be wrong, so he came to the bar early, booked a private room, and waited for Gu Chen in the house.
Gu Chen finished the last publicity, asked the assistant and Fu Xiaorou to go home first, and drove to the bar by himself.
