Before we knew it, winter came, the leaves had withered, only bare branches were left, and it looked desolate.

I stood on the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the scenery outside. My colleague called me and said, "Sister Xiaoxiao, the manager is looking for you."

After taking back all my thoughts, I rushed to the manager's office immediately.

The manager was looking at the documents. When he saw me in, he actually smiled at me. The manager is famous for being serious. He is so serious that he is called a pervert. I was stunned for a moment. When you are used to sarcasticizing you alone, when he suddenly smiles at you, you will wonder if something big has happened.

I bent my waist and asked respectfully, "Manager, what's the matter with me?"

"Sit!" He pointed to the chair opposite him.

I sat down properly, with my hands flat on my thighs, and my appearance was even more rigorous than the seating posture of a primary school student.

Looking at my chair, the manager smiled, "Xiaoxiao, please relax, it's a happy event for me to find you."

After hearing the manager's words, the tense strings relaxed, but he still paid close attention to the manager's every move.

"Xiaoxiao, you have been working in the hotel for more than half a year. What do you feel?" Although the manager had a gentle expression, it was also terrible in my eyes.

"Very good, I'm honored to be working in the hotel." I answered in a normal manner, bent in front of the leader, just looking for death, answering obediently.

Ha! The manager smiled, "Xiaoxiao, actually I can see that you are a smart person. Team leader Liu Wen will resign next month. I suggest to the hotel to promote you to team leader."

As soon as he said that, I felt that there was an illusion in my ears. I raised my head and looked at the manager in disbelief.

The manager's affirmative gaze made me believe it a little, and I couldn't help asking, "But I have a criminal record."

Even though I am very reluctant to admit it, it has always been a heavy shell I carry.

"Xiaoxiao, have you seen the life experience of the hotel CEO? When he was young, he lived in prison for six years because of leaks. In addition to the hotel, there are also some files that the senior management of the hotel are not innocent. Do you understand what I mean?"

I was stupid and fixed. How could I not understand such an obvious prompt? This case not only will not become my bondage, but also my stepping stone. It's ridiculous!

I was about to start saying thank you, but the manager shook his head, "You don't need to thank me. The promotion of the team leader is always submitted by the previous one. I also saw your wit when the last stealing incident. This is the application form, and you will give it to me the day after tomorrow."

"But there are also many employees in the hotel who are more qualified than me, I..." This uncertainty made me ask the question to the end.

The manager looked at me carefully and stayed on my face for a long time before he slowly said, "The general manager introduced you. At the beginning, I was prejudiced to you. In fact, I hate Chinese connections. Work is work, and feelings are emotions. But at first glance, I denied my own conclusion. You are a person tempered by life. I admire the calmness and vicissitudes of life. Su Xiaoxiao, you are the first employee to look at my eyes without any distortion and exchange with me in three languages. Why not be sure of yourself?"

His blue eyes were filled with expectations, and at this moment, I saw a light of rebirth. Maybe my life can really be more exciting.

When I walked out of the manager's office, I felt like I was in a cloud without touching the ground and feeling insecure. I held the application form tightly with my palms, and tapped the words on it in a flash, almost all of them were cut out.

All afternoon, I worked wholeheartedly and had endless energy. I didn't deny it, and that kind of joy made every cell of my cell excited. I didn't dare to share it with others too early, and I was worried that it would turn into a joke.

The news that I was promoted to the new team leader was announced a week later. The team leader will go to New Delhi soon, her husband is working as a professor there, and her daughter is also studying abroad.

The team leader taught me many things step by step, and I found that the most difficult thing was human relationships and worldly affairs. I also learned to have a stern face because there is some majesty that you must have. There are some truths that Li Xiuzhe understood earlier than me and was more proficient than me.

When I was trapped in the joy brought by my career, cold water poured down from my head, confirming a sentence: I am successful in my career and have a frustrated love life.

Su Han's angry voice came from the phone, and he asked me, "Su Xiaoxiao, you are very capable!"

I was confused and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

"I'll wait for you in the xx cafe near your hotel, and you'll come down immediately." He couldn't allow me to discuss and ordered decisively.

Su Han and Li Xiuzhe are really cousins, and their tempers are similar.

I hurried to the cafe with countless confusions. When I came in, I saw Su Han with Han on his face. Undeniable that Su Han is also a very outstanding man. If it weren't for his bad temper towards me, I wouldn't be stingy to praise his beauty.

As soon as I sat down, the ice pupils grabbed me steadily, as if they were going to dig a hole in my body.

That deep hatred look made me feel a little creepy. I frowned, calmed down my temper, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything you have to do with me?"

"Su Xiaoxiao, your ability is still as good as six years ago." He sneered, "No, I was wrong. Your ability should be even better than before, otherwise how could you look innocent?"

His accusations were too inexplicable. I met his eyes. "What do you want to say, please be more straightforward. I don't think I have done anything that is unreasonable."

It can probably be guessed that the matter is related to Li Xiuzhe, but after that quarrel, Li Xiuzhe and I haven't contacted each other for about half a month. It's the so-called cold war!

"Is that so? You did nothing? Then why did he come to He's father and say he would postpone the engagement? Do you know? The marriage between the He family and the Li family was promoted by his aunt. If it weren't for the fact that the aunt had been alive and she was good friends with the young lady of the He family, you really think that any child from a rich family could marry He Yishu. The He family's family background is much larger than that of the Li family."

How could I not understand? The He family is a noble family and has been rich for five generations. This is the reason why I retreated without defeat.

I wanted to defend myself. Su Han didn't give me a chance, and he continued to reveal the truth to me directly.

"Do you really think he is as glorious as you imagined? Li Xiuwen graduated from university and started from the bottom of the Li family. In six years, he had already gained an unshakable position. Xiuzhe had only been in the Li family for half a year, and everyone was staring at him, just to pick out his slightest problem and publicize it. Last year, Xiuwen married the daughter of the Fujino family in Japan, and he had already received support from the entire Fujino family. Xiuzhe's grandfather was already lying on the bed. If there was a problem with the marriage between Xiuzhe and He Yishu, not only the Li family was abandoned, but the Wen family would also regard him as a chess abandon. Do you think that Mr. Wen is so good to Xiuzhe, but in fact, his purpose is to support Xiuzhe as the leading position. The Wen family is a raw material supplier. Xiuzhe controls the Li family, which means that the Wen family will not be abandoned."

I was bombarded by a lot of problems. If I still had a trace of fantasy, then Su Han cruelly picked out all my fantasy bubbles. There was too much pressure on me and it was difficult for me to breathe.

I just wanted to leave quickly and look at Su Han. I said with a tough confidence, "I just quarreled with him. I am self-aware and will not naively ask him to marry me. I know what position I am in. If you tell me this, the purpose is to let me leave him, I will."

I picked up my bag and was about to leave. Su Han grabbed my arm. His tone became weaker. "Sorry, my tone was a little bit rushing. I'm here to find you. The purpose is not to let you leave him immediately. Can you keep him stable for the time being?"

I waved Su Han's hand away and stared at him with sharp eyes. "Don't you think your request is too much?"

Su Han stubbornly grabbed my arm and refused to let me leave.

"Su Xiaoxiao, even if you want to leave him, can you please come back for a while? Now if you leave him, things will definitely get worse. I know that my request is too much, but if you see him going crazy for you, you will understand. He loves you more deeply than all of us think."

I didn't expect Su Han to say this, and I looked up at his constant mouth.

He frowned and said, "Do you know? When he saw the photo of you hugging other men, he rushed into the airport like a madman. His grandfather covered up the matter of you going to prison, and everyone weaved a lie. You and another man went to the south. He ran to the south and looked for you for three months, and later he was forced to come back. He was so thin that he was skinny. When he came back, he was addicted to alcohol all day long. Can you imagine that Li Xiuzhe, who was so proud and arrogant, lived a life of living by drinking? After six years, everyone thought he had forgotten you, but when you appeared, he became a fool again, and all plans were broken by you. Su Xiaoxiao, just think that I begged you, you keep him steady, you don't want to see him become so embarrassed, right?"

Su Han successfully captured my weakness. I love Li Xiuzhe, so how could he bear to be no longer the energetic Li Xiuzhe? I closed my eyes and nodded.

Su Han sighed in his ears.

Looking at Su Han's back as he was gone, I couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so kind to him?"

Su Han put his hands into his pockets, "I was autistic when I was a child, and my parents gave up on me. He was the only one who was by my side and played with me."
