Chapter 218: One Last Chance
I haven't seen Zhang Wen since that day. In the past month or so, maybe she really died on me, and even the phone call, never a single call. In addition, my relationship with Tang Xiaoru has become cold, and I can't learn anything about Zhang Wen from her. So, I never knew how this woman who used to like me was doing during this time.
Seeing her come up with a man at this moment, the first thought in my heart was to breathe a sigh of relief. It's good that she's finally dating another man, whether it's her boyfriend or not, it's a good sign anyway, and there's no need to worry about her current situation anymore.
Zhang Wen didn't see me, and when she came up, she walked with the man in a suit and leather shoes to a corner far away from us and sat down. I didn't look too much, I immediately took my eyes back, and when I saw Shi Shanshan who was looking at me with a questioning face, I smiled and explained: "Oh, yes, that woman...... It's a friend of a friend of mine. ”
Although Shi Shanshan and I have broken up, I am still used to being reluctant to talk about things related to Tang Xiaoru in front of her. Therefore, it was not said that Zhang Wen was Tang Xiaoru's friend.
"Friends of friends?" Shi Shanshan glanced back at Zhang Wen in the distance, and immediately turned her head again, frowned and opened her mouth to ask me, "Which ...... are you?"
As soon as she said three words, Shi Shanshan seemed to suddenly realize that she was no longer qualified to ask me about it. His face quickly darkened, and he stopped talking very interestingly and stopped asking, but shook his head, sighed softly, and said, "Forget it, it has nothing to do with me now anyway." ”
As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on the envelope I had retreated to her, and she sighed lightly and said, "I'm not in a hurry to use the money, if you don't have enough money, you can pay me back later." ”
I laughed and said, "Who says I don't have a lot of money?" You've only been gone for a month, and you don't know the company's treatment. Just today, we sent another bonus, but unfortunately....... you can't get it anymore......"
At this, my smile suddenly dimmed. Shi Shanshan left the company because of me, and her new employer didn't know how she was treated, and if it was too much worse than her original income, it would really make me feel guilty to death.
Seeing that Shi Shanshan still hesitated and didn't take the envelope away, I sighed in my heart and continued in a low voice: "Take it, sooner or later, I always have to pay you back this money." ”
Shi Shanshan didn't speak, looked at the envelope on the table for a long time, and finally silently stretched out her hand, picked up the envelope, and put it in the bag beside her without opening it.
I know I don't need to remind her to count the money, emotional things, she may not trust me, but I am a person, she should know best.
Next, Shi Shanshan and I didn't seem to have a topic, and everyone was drinking tea silently. After a long while, Shi Shanshan suddenly raised her hand and looked at the watch on her wrist, and said, "I still have something to do, the time is almost up, I have to leave immediately." ”
My heart is slightly sour, it's not a boyfriend and girlfriend, don't you even want to sit for a while?
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go settle the bill and send you down."
I had no choice but to stand up, beckoned the waiter, paid the bill, and sent Shi Shanshan down the teahouse. Zhang Wen was still drinking tea with the man in the suit and leather shoes over there, and I didn't go over to say hello to her. Now that she's with another man, there's no need for me to get into any more trouble.
Shi Shanshan seemed to really have something to do, her home was nearby, and when she left the teahouse, she immediately stopped a taxi on the side of the street. Before getting into the car, Shi Shanshan suddenly said to me again: "Dai Yong, you really don't think about it, go and confess to Tang Xiaoru?" ”
I was stunned again, unexpectedly, she suddenly brought up the matter again.
Seeing my puzzled expression, Shi Shanshan said again: "I know it's impossible for you to be with her, but do you really plan to like her so much for the rest of your life?" ”
I didn't know what to say, so I thought about it and said, "Since you know it's impossible, why do you want me to do it?" She is the CEO of the company, and I am an employee under her. recklessly confessed, then how can I have the face to work under her in the future? ”
Shi Shanshan seemed to smile helplessly, looked at me lightly and said, "Is this job so important to you?" Still is...... Are you unwilling to leave Tang Xiaoru? ”
Immediately, I was silent. Thinking of what Shi Shanshan had said to me just now, I slowly fell into deep thought.
I don't know if I'm reluctant to leave Tang Xiaoru in my heart. But this job is really important to me. I'm still a little self-aware, and it's really not easy for an ordinary person like me who wants a diploma or no diploma and no ability to find the job I have now. My family is already in a difficult situation, and I plan to save up for my sister's eye treatment. If I lose this job, all my good wishes may be in vain.
Feelings are very illusory to me. There is the best, and there is no one. But improving the living conditions of the family and restoring the sight of my sister's eyes is a real thing that must be done. I can vaguely guess what Shi Shanshan means. It is nothing more than that I want to completely die for Tang Xiaoru, and then completely erase my love for her from my heart. Confessing to Tang Xiaoru, the rejection is obvious. According to Shi Shanshan's thoughts, I have worked hard, even if I fail, I will not have any regrets in my heart. In this way, I can be freed from the relationship and forget about this woman.
Maybe in Shi Shanshan's heart, losing this job is not a big deal. Even if you can't find such a good treatment in the future, where can you go and can't eat with your mouth? Unfortunately, I don't think so, because I still have a lot of responsibilities on my shoulders. As it is now, although my relationship with Tang Xiaoru is not as close as before, it does not affect my work. As long as I am serious and diligent, even if Tang Xiaoru has any opinions on my handling of feelings, at least she will not have an opinion on my work. On the surface, everyone can still maintain a normal relationship between superiors and subordinates. But once I rashly confessed, then I really had no face and continued to work in the company. More likely, in order to avoid seeing me embarrassed, Tang Xiaoru may not have kicked me out of the company directly.
Therefore, I must not do this kind of stupid thing.
Besides, I don't think much of Shi Shanshan's thoughts. Like a person, really work hard to fight for it, no matter whether it succeeds or not, there will be no regrets in your heart? Isn't this the case, I can't help it for the rest of my life, and forget Tang Xiaoru from my heart?
Even I don't have the answer, but I don't believe there's no other way than that.
Looking at Shi Shanshan's questioning face, I knew she was waiting for my answer. With a faint smile, I finally replied, "Yes, this job is very important to me, and I don't want to lose it if there is no better option." ”
Shi Shanshan's face was immediately filled with disappointment. He looked at me silently for a while, sighed softly, and said, "Really? I understand. ”
As she spoke, she lowered her head and got into the taxi, stretched out her hand to close the door, but after thinking about it, she said to me again: "If that's the case, then we'll ...... Or don't meet again. Take care, I'm gone, goodbye! ”
With a bang, the car door finally closed. I watched the taxi move slowly forward, and my heart suddenly moved, as if I suddenly understood something.
But in the blink of an eye, the car was getting farther and farther away from me, and I wanted to shout loudly, and I raised my hand sharply, but suddenly hesitated. Then, I slowly lowered my hand and sighed deeply.
Shi Shanshan, this is the last chance for me! Although I suddenly understood, somehow, I chose to give up.
For me, affection is a luxury. At first, I was a little miserable, but now, I'm slowly trying to open up. Now that you've lost it, don't get it back. Because once you get your feelings back, maybe ...... I'm going to lose more...... Lighting a cigarette, I slowly walked home. At this time, the bus is gone, and I feel sorry for the few dollars I took the taxi, anyway, it's still early, so it's better to walk home.
As soon as I walked up to Xiaguan Bridge, the mobile phone in my pocket suddenly rang. When I took it out and looked at it, I couldn't help but smile slightly, immediately pressed the call button, put the phone down and said, "Hi! Why did you go to bed so early today? ”
Ferena's familiar laughter rang in her ears: "Can't you? I have nothing to do at home, so I might as well go to bed early and chat with you. ”
I immediately felt a wave of warmth in my heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, today, what interesting things happened to you again?" ”
"Hehe, today, Miss Ben was confessed again. The other party is a famous handsome guy in our school! ”
"Really? Oops, congratulations, this month, this is the fifth time, right? Let's talk about how the handsome guy confessed to you! ”
"Hee-hee, it's noon today, we're ...... Hey? How do you get the sound of a car driving on your phone? Where are you now? ”
"I'm outside, but I'm alone, you can say it's okay."
"Outside? What are you doing out there? ”
"It's nothing, just come out to meet someone and pay back the money she lent me before."
"Who?"
"Shi Shanshan!"
"Shi Shanshan? You...... You just met Shi Shanshan? ”
"yes, what's wrong?"
"You...... Do you owe her money? ”
"Well, when I wasn't in a relationship with her before, I once borrowed 3,000 yuan from her in an emergency."
"Oh, it's just...... Pay back? You guys...... What else was said? ”
"Hey, didn't you just say that you were confessed by a handsome guy? Why are you talking about me again? I'm not interested in my business, so I'll talk about yours first. ”
"Oh, there was a guy at noon today who said he liked me and wanted to date me, but I refused. It's over, now talk about yours. "Isn't it? It's that simple? ”
