Chapter Thirty-Five
On Saturday afternoon, Fang Wei finished his day's work early and strolled down the street alone. He found a public account and called Xiaoli. An unfamiliar voice came over and asked Fang Wei to wait for a moment and put down the phone.
Call Xiaoli.
In less than a minute, Xiaoli's voice came through the microphone, and Fang Wei said, "I'm Fang Wei, are you free on Sunday? I have something I need to discuss with you."
Xiaoli replied, "I have nothing to do on Sunday. What time will we meet? You can set a place and I will be there then."
Fang Wei thought for a while and said, "Then let's set it in the morning. Come around nine o'clock. If you go to other places, you have to take me back. It takes a lot of fuel to pick me up and back. Just come to my residence.
Well, I’ll buy the groceries in advance and eat them at my place for lunch, what do you think?”
Xiaoli said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. Buy some good food and I'll cook it for you. I'll make sure you enjoy it."
Fang Wei said, "Then it's settled. Come early on Sunday and don't be late. You will be punished for coming late. Do you hear me?"
Xiaoli's laughter came from the phone, and Fang Wei also laughed. A phone line carried the voices of two people, and also shortened the distance between them.
Love burst out into a hot flame, burning Xiaoli and roasting Fang Wei.
On Sunday morning, before nine o'clock, Xiaoli came to Fang Wei's residence. She knocked on the door for a long time before Fang Wei woke up from his dream. He hurriedly put on his clothes and opened the door to let Xiaoli in.
Fang Wei said; "I asked you to come earlier, but you came too early. I was having a good dream, which disturbed you, and you couldn't sleep a little longer. I think you won't be able to arrive until at least ten o'clock, okay?"
It’s too positive to think that you came before nine o’clock.”
Xiaoli said with a smile, "Yesterday you said very well, go buy groceries early, but what time is it now, and you are still sleeping. If I had known you couldn't get up, you might as well have gone shopping for groceries."
Fang Wei said, "The vegetable market is quite close to here. Just wait a moment. I'll wash my face and then go buy vegetables. It will be quick and won't delay lunch."
Xiaoli asked Fang Wei: "Is there any big matter that you need to discuss with me? Just tell me and see if I understand and can I give you some advice."
Fang Wei said, "Wait a moment, I'll go to the water pipe to wash my face, and I'll tell you the details when I come back."
Xiaoli watched as he picked up the washing utensils and walked to the pool in the yard. She turned around and looked around the house. Things were in a mess, so she started to tidy them up.
Xiaoli had just tidied up the room when Fang Wei came in and said, "That's what happened. I used to be the workshop director in my hometown chemical factory. Later, the factory closed due to poor management. I have told you these things before.
. Now someone hired me, promised high wages, and built a factory for them. I was very conflicted. I thought about it for a few days, whether I should go or not, and I still haven’t made up my mind. I was hesitating about what to do if I went.
If you fail to do it and lose the job here, the loss will be huge. Can you give me some advice, should you go or not?"
As soon as Fang Wei's words came out, Xiaoli was shocked. She panicked and had no idea. She thought to herself, "This is really embarrassing for her. If she agrees to go with Fang Wei, it will be difficult for the two of them to meet thousands of miles apart. It will take a long time."
Chairman, will there be any changes? If he is not allowed to go, the employer will offer a price several times higher than the current salary. This will definitely be tempting to him, and Fang Wei is currently eager to get rid of the financial predicament and is racking his brains to think about it.
The method is like a person who is about to take a nap and someone brings him a pillow, which is just what he wants. Although Fang Wei doesn't say it, she knows exactly what he is thinking. Fang Wei has said it to her several times in the past.
If there is a chance, she will bring her expertise in chemical engineering into full play again and realize his dream. Now that the opportunity has come, she is in a dilemma, whether to agree to let him go or let him stay in Lingnan."
Xiaoli's eyes were wandering, sometimes looking at Fang Wei, sometimes turning her head to look out the window, sometimes lowering her head in thought, as if she had a lot to say, but she couldn't say it out loud.
Fang Wei understood about half of Xiaoli's thoughts. He didn't say anything and looked at Xiaoli silently. The room was so quiet that the heartbeats of both parties could be heard.
Fang Wei looked at the anxious Xiaoli in front of him, his thoughts began to waver, and he thought: If she doesn't agree, then he won't go.
The two of them had their own thoughts and were silent. Xiaoli realized that not speaking was not an option. Fang Wei asked her to come in order to help him make up his mind.
She moved her body and said slowly, "The way I see it, you take a few days off first, go back and understand the situation in detail with the hiring unit, and then go to them for an on-site inspection. As they said, it's all
To be honest, if you come back and resign, it would be better to deal with it this way, and you won't lose both ends. Do you think that's okay?"
Fang Wei said vaguely, "I thought about it just now. It doesn't matter whether I go or not. It's not a big deal. As long as you have the ability, you can do well anywhere."
Xiaoli realized that what Fang Wei said was less sincere and more against his will, mainly because he was concerned about her feelings, which also proved her weight in his heart.
Xiaoli said in a supportive tone; "What I mean is that as long as you can prove that the hiring company is reliable and can display your talents there, and you have achieved your goal, then you can go."
Fang Wei hesitated, and after a few minutes, he said, "You have considered it more prudent, so I will do as you say. I will explain the business on hand to my colleagues, take a week off first, and then go back.
As for the outcome of the discussion and whether we can reach our goals, I will let you know over the phone."
Xiaoli asked, "When do you plan to leave? Let me know after you set the time."
Fang Wei said, "Okay, I'll call you after I buy the ticket. The person who hired me is still waiting in his hometown. Since I decided to meet them, it's best to rush back as soon as possible, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll lose this excellent opportunity."
Chance."
Xiaoli asked tentatively, "Do you really take this matter that seriously? Don't you want to leave any room for it?"
Wang Wei said without thinking, "I really take this matter very seriously. This may be a God-given opportunity, a rare opportunity for me to turn around."
After hearing Fang Wei's words, Xiaoli fell silent, and her heart was like a bucket in a well. She and Fang Wei had been happily together for almost two years, and they were about to separate. There was an indescribable bitterness in her heart.
She was very worried, but she also knew very well that things in the world were like this: they combined and separated, and they separated and reunited. Fang Wei's departure this time may be a permanent separation between the two of them.
Xiaoli's love for Fang Wei is sincere, without any material conditions attached, nor is it a temporary impulse. In the future, even if they are thousands of miles apart, her heart will always be connected with Fang Wei.
Fang Wei also loved Xiaoli deeply in his heart and never showed a trace in front of her. When they usually met and talked, he was very careful and acted like nothing was wrong.
Xiaoli tried several times, but he avoided it intentionally or unintentionally, but kept his love for her secretly in his heart. Once he said it, it seemed that the friendship between the two people had completely ceased to exist, and he was a little scared when he thought about it.
Fang Wei faced the dilemma of whether to leave or stay, and he had no good solution. The financial situation of his family was there, and he could not bear to make a helpless choice.
Fang Wei also wanted Xiaoli to calm down for a while and let her carefully consider the correct choice between emotion and rationality.
Time and distance can enable both parties to re-recognize themselves and examine each other. Temporarily separating may not be a bad thing. Let time prove everything about how deep and long Xiaoli's feelings for him are.
…………
As the saying goes, "People feel refreshed when happy events happen." Fang Wei is going to find a high-paying job, and with Xiaoli's support, he is excited and happy.
Although he didn't say it out loud, his relaxed and happy expression always appeared on his face every day when he went to work, looking cheerful.
Fang Wei didn't realize that his relaxed and happy expression was equivalent to telling his colleagues around him that he had a great good thing hidden in his heart.
Fang Wei talked more than before. When he saw his colleagues, both men and women, he talked and laughed as if he was a different person. His colleagues felt strange about his emotional changes and looked at him with exploratory eyes.
Some colleagues felt that Fang Wei had won a big prize and was showing off everywhere. Xiao Zhang shouted loudly in front of his colleagues and asked Fang Wei to treat him.
Fang Wei never expected that his overly excited performance would cause him a lot of trouble.
When it was time to get off work, a female colleague who was about a few years older and loved to joke, her surname was Lin, her first name was Zhaoxia, and her colleagues usually called her Sister Lin, came to the sales department to look for him.
Lin Zhaoxia lowered her voice and said, "Fang Wei, after get off work, you wait at the factory gate. I have something to tell you."
Before Fang Wei could say anything, she patted him twice on the shoulder, and a strange smile appeared on her face. Fang Wei could tell from her mysterious smile that she had something important to tell him.
Fang Wei walked out of the office a few minutes early and stood on the roadside waiting for Sister Lin. After a few minutes, she came over and Fang Wei asked, "Sister Lin, what do you want from me?"
Sister Lin smiled and said, "Let's go ahead and talk as we go."
As the two walked side by side, she asked, "What happy events have you encountered these days? Why are you so happy? Can you tell me?"
Fang Wei said with a smile, "What happy event can I have? I've made a small profit in business these days, and I'm in a very good mood. Nothing else. It's just this little thing. You think too much."
Sister Lin said, "You have been doing small business for a day or two, and I have never seen you so happy. Your unusual behavior these days is unpredictable. Don't beat around the bush. Don't deny it. There must be something happy.
, let me ask you, seeing how happy you are, do you think you are dating someone?"
Fang Wei smiled and said jokingly, "Are you kidding? Who can fall in love with a poor boy like me who has no money? Why don't you introduce me to one?"
Sister Lin said, "Are you telling the truth? Don't lie. Let me ask you, who is that beautiful girl who often looks for you? What is your relationship with her?"
Fang Wei did not expect that Sister Lin suddenly asked about Xiaoli. The two of them did not know each other and had no relationship. For some reason, she asked about the relationship between him and Xiaoli. He was a little confused.
Fang Wei thought for a moment and immediately realized that Sister Lin came to him today not because she was concerned about him and Xiaoli. She might want to ask him for help, or maybe there was something else. Fang Wei said; "You don't
I know her, why did she suddenly bring this up? As for the relationship between the two of us, let me tell you the truth. We have known each other since we were children. We are just friends. Just tell me if you need help with anything.
, don’t be embarrassed, just ask, I will try my best to handle it.”
Sister Lin said dubiously, "I don't have anything to help with. If I need help in the future, I will definitely tell you. Today I am looking for you to ask if you have a partner. If what you just said is true, I will help you."
You introduce a girl, what do you think?"
Fang Wei was stunned for a moment and said, "Stop teasing me. I see what you said is true. Sister Lin, tell the truth. I don't want to think about it now."
She smiled and said, "You are not young anymore. If you find a suitable girl, don't miss it. We still have to talk about it. Are you right?"
Fang Wei saw that Sister Lin was speaking seriously, and it didn't look like she was joking. He immediately took it seriously and said, "Sister Lin, I have troubled you. Thank you for your kindness. The current financial situation of the family does not allow me to consider these things, so why not
Let’s talk slowly.”
Sister Lin said: "Little brother, what you said is a bit extreme. Who said you can't find a partner if you don't have money? What kind of rule is this?"
Sister Lin's words made Fang Wei speechless. He was so eloquent that he suddenly got stuck and couldn't speak for a long time.
Seeing that Fang Wei didn't answer immediately, she looked at his embarrassed look and smiled. She wanted to lure him into a trap and said in a reminding tone: "You also know the person I want to introduce to you. Don't you want to know who she is?"
?”
Fang Wei didn't expect that Sister Lin was very scheming. She was trying to 'invite you into the urn' to guide his interest in the woman. Without thinking about it, he said casually: "Sister Lin, you are sincerely introducing me to your partner. This makes me flattered. See
It’s not in vain to call you eldest sister. Although I’m not thinking about it at the moment, I’m still a little curious and want to ask. It’s just a question. Don’t get me wrong. There really is no other meaning. Who is that person?”
With a mysterious and victorious expression, Sister Lin pretended to be a little reluctant and said, "If you really want to know, then I will tell you, she is a colleague in our office——Wang Mei."
When Fang Wei heard Wang Mei's name, he was startled at first, and then he was stunned. He didn't speak anymore and just walked with his head lowered, saying nothing for a long time.
Fang Wei and Wang Mei were originally in the same office, and they talked very congenially. They liked to chat together regardless of anything, and they got along relatively harmoniously.
Wang Mei is three years younger than Fang Wei. Fang Wei is usually very helpful to her at work. Wang Mei is pretty, likes to be quiet, has a lot of scheming, has a good heart, and has a good personality, somewhat childlike.
No matter which colleague is in trouble, Wang Mei tries her best to help as much as she can, including money. She is definitely a good girl.
Wang Mei is too serious about her work and cannot tolerate any flaws in herself. She is a little sentimental and childish, making her seem less mature.
She is usually willing to get close to Fang Wei, and likes to listen to him chatting and talking. She blushes when he speaks, with the shyness of a mature woman.
After Fang Wei was transferred to another department, he returned to the office where he worked from time to time to chat with his colleagues. Recently, he noticed that Wang Mei had changed a bit, and her eyes were deliberately avoiding him. Her big, watery eyes flickered when looking at Fang Wei.
With bright light.
Although Wang Mei has a childish face, she cannot hide her feminine tenderness. To be honest, Fang Wei has always treated her as a little girl, just like a big brother treats a little sister, and it is impossible to think of anything else.
Fang Wei thought about it in his mind. Sister Lin had probably discussed it beforehand when she mentioned Wang Mei in front of him, and may have even asked for Wang Mei's opinion. Otherwise, she would not have come to him specifically to discuss the matter.
If it is true, as Fang Wei guessed, that Wang Mei also knows about this and directly rejects people's kindness, it will make the relationship between colleagues difficult to get along with, and it will definitely be very unpleasant.
Besides, girls are thin-skinned, and the two of them work in the same building and meet each other without looking up. If Wang Mei knew that he didn't agree, how would she meet in the future?
