Xiao÷Shuo◎.com 】,♂Xiao÷Shuo◎.com 】,
There is no problem with Tong Xue. We reached an oral agreement, just waiting for her to report the short film after the New Year. After receiving the approval, Borui can take normal shooting.
I informed Zhang Yao of this news as soon as possible. After all, this matter was a traitor for her. If she couldn't get a positive answer, she couldn't say that there were any other means to use it on me.
There are fewer and fewer people in Beijing, and even the subway in the morning is no longer crowded, which also makes me know that the New Year is approaching.
Only at this time can Beijing show the rare quietness, the heritage of the ancient capitals of the two dynasties complement the charm of the coming year.
That morning, I arrived at the company on time, and everyone's face was filled with a relaxed smile. Thinking about it, after enduring today, there will be ten days of vacation. Whether it is a local or a drift in Beijing like me, I have been working hard for a year, and finally I can take a break and enjoy the rare peace with my family.
But I can't be happy.
I felt a headache when I thought that my mother was waiting for me to take Tong Xue home. Moreover, on that day, Tong Xue herself said that she would go home to spend the New Year with her parents. The lies between us have been maintained for a year, and we finally had to confess the specific feelings to both parents. I can't describe it. But when I think of my parents' disappointed look in the New Year, I feel that I am not a thing.
In the name of worrying about them and then doing things that are selfishly deceiving, my son is really incompetent.
This psychological torment made me feel a little unacceptable. I was flirting with my face all the way, ignored the colleagues who took the initiative to say hello to me, and went straight to the office
She hasn't come yet.
I originally wanted to clean up and welcome Zhang Yao's arrival, but now I really can't get that thought. I sat behind the desk in the corner, browsing the news of my life boredly. Perhaps this is the only habit I have maintained since I was not a lawyer.
At 9:30, Zhang Yao arrived late.
I just glanced at it and continued to care about what I was doing, without saying hello to her.
After about a cigarette, maybe she had something unusual, she coughed and said, "Chen Mo, have you forgotten something?"
"Oh Mr. Zhang, morning."
I stood up and said hello perfunctorily.
"You have something wrong. Did you give birth to something?"
"No."
"That's just a heart-to-returning, and you're in a hurry to go home to see your parents?" Zhang Yao smiled and felt fun.
"no."
After hesitating for a moment, I finally asked a question I thought of last night, "Mr. Zhang, do the company need someone to be on duty during the Spring Festival?"
Yes, this is the only legitimate excuse I thought of. I can tell my mother that I really can’t make much money when I become a lawyer. I changed to a new job. Because I was a newcomer, I had to be on duty during the Spring Festival. In this way, I didn’t have to go home to face their disappointed expressions. Of course, it was extremely cruel to do so. After all, I didn’t go home during the Spring Festival last year.
Will there be parents in the world who don’t care about their children?
My mother will be very disappointed when she hears this news
I hesitated, struggled, and wanted to escape successfully.
"You probably haven't been home for a year, right?" Zhang Yao asked in surprise.
"Um."
I nodded unnaturally and lost my words.
"Then why do you have to take the initiative to be on duty?"
""
"Are you short of money?" Seeing that I didn't reply, she asked and answered, "If you are short of money, you can get it from me. You don't need to short of money. When you went to meet the contact person, I said that after the matter was done, I will give you a big red envelope. Now, I can fulfill my promise."
"No"
A smile appeared on the corner of my mouth and I said bitterly: "No matter how much I don't have money, I still have the little money to go home."
"Why? Didn't get the ticket? Yes, it's normal that I didn't get the ticket during the Spring Festival travel rush hour. I have friends at the airline. Do you need to buy a ticket for you?!"
The concern Zhang Yao showed made me very
Not adapting to it, this woman has always been very decisive and has the right style of doing things. She has more words today than she said to me in a week.
But this kind of feeling of being cared for is really good. She has lived alone for too long. Now, a few words of caring about her have penetrated into her heart and walked into the softest part of my heart.
“Can you light a cigarette here?”
"Today is an exception," she said.
I smiled, lit a cigarette, and after taking a sip, I suddenly realized that I really needed someone to listen. Zhang Yao in the same office might be a good partner.
"I remember you met my dad?"
"Well" Maybe because he thought of the charming beauty at my house last time, Zhang Yao's face turned slightly red and he nodded.
"My father and my mother love me very much and spoil me very much. Even though I am so old, I am still a child in their eyes. Later, I got together with Tong Xue, and gradually, their kindness to me turned to her. In their eyes, Tong Xue is their daughter and the daughter-in-law of our Chen family."
I took a heavy breath of cigarette, and the strong smoke made my throat hoarse and I spoke with difficulty, and I said, "But just a year ago, I lost her. I didn't dare to go home last Spring Festival. I was afraid, afraid of seeing their lost eyes, and even more afraid that they were worried that I would understand my parents. If they knew my current relationship with Tong Xue, they would definitely keep me at home. I don't want to leave Beijing yet."
"It's because of this that you have to take advantage of the reason why you are on duty during the Spring Festival?"
"Um."
"Chen Mo, you are really not a man." Zhang Yao stared straight into my eyes, "You don't look at me with this look. What I'm talking about is the fact. A broken heart and a little bit of a big thing can make you rise to this level. In fact, it's not that the uncles and aunts can't let go, but that you are, you can't let go of yourself, and you always take the broken love between you too seriously!"
"I don't know that girl, but it will definitely not be bad for you to remember. If I were her, I would never cooperate with you to tell this lie. Now the result is very obvious. The lie between you did not deceive anyone, but you were deeply trapped in."
"I have to admit that you're right."
I agreed with the last sip of cigarette and threw the cigarette butt into the discarded bottle.
Outsiders often see clearly than insiders.
"You can confess to me as an outsider and your friends, why can't you confess to your parents? You know, in this world, they know more about themselves than you."
Zhang Yao slowed down her tone: "I think uncles and aunts will respect your decision and give you good comfort, instead of complaining to me, an outsider, as you are now."
"What should I do?"
I don't know how long it took, but I asked her helplessly.
"Go home and give them the best company, and, to be honest, apologize to them." Zhang Yao smiled, very charming. She said: "Actually, there is one thing you are wrong. They are not transferring the goodness to you to Tong Xue. In this world, they love you more than everyone. The reason for being kind to her is that they respect your choice is a form of their respect for your choice. If you lose her, they will also transfer that goodness to that person. Do you believe it?"
Do I believe it?
I'm not sure anymore, it seems that Zhang Yao knows my parents better than me.
"go home?"
"I have been wandering for so long, shouldn't I go back? Beijing does not belong to you now."
"Thanks."
"Just treat it as encouragement to you." Zhang Yao rolled her eyes.
"So too, don't be busy with work, and be with your uncle and aunt."
"I" she opened her mouth, but she said nothing after all.
I thought she knew what she should do and didn't want to tell me, an outsider. After thinking about it, I asked, "Did you say you know a friend from an airline?"
"Give me your ID number, I'll get you a ticket."
"A good person has a safe life!"
"Go to yours."
