The vows of love we once made,
It somehow became an untouchable joke in my memory.
Later I found out,
The vows made in youth are like dreams in a crystal ball.
Can't withstand any bumps.

"Yi Tian, ​​Li Ge, come on, order whatever you want to eat, and don't be polite to me." Lu Yan looked guilty as he handed over the menu respectfully. He was afraid that the two of us would make a scene and make him lose face, so he kept winking at us to please us.
At this moment, in a well-known chain restaurant near the school, Lu Yan and Zhou Yao sat in the inner seats, and standing next to them were Lin Chujian and Xu Yaxin, who looked like two statues. Yi Tian and I sat next to them, with a smell of gunpowder. In addition to our group, Li Qiuyang, who was invited by Yi Tian to have a meal together after not seeing him for a long time, also sat next to us. He looked at our table with an ambiguous smile on his face.
Lu Yan invited everyone to dinner in the name of helping Lin Chujian and I to make peace. Before we came, he also emphasized that we must bring Zhou Yao with us. The reason is self-evident.
However, this gathering, where the real purpose was not drinking, did not develop as Lu Yan had imagined, because there were two more people - Xu Yaxin and Li Qiuyang.
The arrival of these two uninvited guests made the meal extremely awkward.
"Li Ge, we should really thank Lu Yan today, otherwise how could we enjoy the treatment of having bodyguards standing guard while eating? But..." Yi Tian glanced at Xu Yaxin, whose face was livid, "This bodyguard has made me lose all my appetite."
The menu I just got was thrown on the table. Yi Tian pulled Li Qiuyang and I to stand up and walked towards the door. As we walked, she waved to Lu Yan, "I can't eat this meal today. Let's get together again later."
Having said that, Zhou Yao also stood up hesitantly.
During this period, the two of us and Zhou Yao were inseparable. Because of Zhou Yao's miserable life, Yi Tian and I tried every way to be nice to her, and she trusted us wholeheartedly. Because of this, when we invited her to the dinner party of Lu Yan's group, she came with us even though she had many concerns. Now that we were leaving, she naturally would not stay.
Seeing Zhou Yao standing up, Lu Yan got anxious. He ran to Yi , blocked our way, and said with a smile: "Ladies, today, just order whatever you want. If you think this place is low-class, let's go to a high-end place. I, Lu Yan, will never frown."
Seeing that our attitudes didn't budge at all, he pulled me aside and whispered in my ear, "Li Ge, you know I'm interested in Zhou Yao, so please do me a favor and persuade Yi Tian to stay! Isn't that enough?"
I smiled bitterly. Was Lu Yan, who had always been so carefree, really moved? On normal days, he would never be so humble to ask me for help. In the past, when I saw him, he always acted like "I have money, you can do whatever you want" .
I really admire people like Lu Yan. His likes and dislikes are so direct and strong, and he never beats around the bush.
There is always such a person in this world. Once you meet him/her, it is like being trapped in quicksand. Even if the yellow sand buries you, your heart will still beat warmly, making you feel that you are willing to die for her in this life.
Zhou Yao and Lu Yan may be such people.
Thinking of this, I pulled Yi Tian who insisted on going out.
I was about to say a few words to persuade Yi Tian, ​​but before I could open my mouth, I was interrupted by Xu Yaxin: "Since neither of them has an appetite, then we can eat together. I'll order some dishes first!"
Xu Yaxin took two steps forward and prepared to take the menu.
Seeing that Xu Yaxin was getting excited, Yi Tian rushed back to the table and grabbed the menu before Xu Yaxin could. "I'm suddenly hungry again. Let's have some Kung Pao Chicken first, and then..."
"Yi Tian, ​​do you have to target me so secretly?" Xu Yaxin was very angry.
"Hey, what are you talking about! I'm not targeting you secretly, I'm targeting you openly..." Yi Tian continued to order food, "Hey, I also want a boiled fish and salted egg yolk eggplant..."
"Come on, Yi Tian, ​​I've already said it before, you really should hate me, and the target is not me, but your good sister - Li Ge."
"Oh my, did I hear it wrong? A mistress is shouting about how much she hates the principal wife? Mistresses are so blatant these days. I thought it was an era where everyone would beat up a mistress if they saw her on the street!" Compared to two people banging the table and making a big fuss, Yi Tian prefers this kind of cold and savage quarreling mode.
But every time she mentioned "mistress", Li Qiuyang's face darkened. I looked at Li Qiuyang with some worry, fearing that he would do something extreme to Yi Tian.
Our expressions were seen by Xu Yaxin and the others. Xu Yaxin glanced at Li Qiuyang and me with a thoughtful expression, and then said to Yi Tian with an unusually proud face: "Who is the mistress? Are you saying that Li Ge is the mistress of you and Li Qiuyang?"
When Yi Tian heard this, she was stunned for a moment, turned around to look at me and Li Qiuyang who were still standing at the door, then lowered her head thoughtfully without saying anything.
Xu Yaxin thought her provocation was successful, and added with increasing pride: "Lin Chujian and I saw it with our own eyes that day. The two of them were standing furtively in front of the condom display stand in the supermarket, and they looked so sweet and affectionate..."
Xu Yaxin's words were like a bomb dropped into the box. Lu Yan and Zhou Yao both looked at me with wide eyes in surprise.
I was so angry that my mind went blank. I didn't know how to explain for a moment. I just looked at Lin Chujian for help, hoping that he could help me clarify a few things so that Yi Tian would not be misled by Xu Yaxin's words.
I don’t care about anyone else. I only care whether Yi Tian believes what Xu Yaxin says.
But Lin Chujian avoided my eyes and didn't say anything for me. He just stared at the empty plate in silence, as if there was another universe there.
His attitude was like a bucket of ice water poured over my head, chilling me to the bone.
I looked at Yi Tian, ​​she still had her head down and I couldn't tell any emotion from her.
Seeing that I remained silent for a long time, Xu Ya was very happy and could not help but challenge me again: "See, you are speechless, right? If you are not a mistress, why don't you explain? Humph, don't pretend to be a white lotus after being a whore!"
Xu Yaxin's words completely angered me. I was about to fight back, but Li Qiuyang got there first. He rushed forward, grabbed Xu Yaxin's wrist, and shouted word by word, "I warn you, come to me if you have any problems. Don't throw dirty water on Li Ge!"
"Ah, it hurts! It hurts! You are so nervous about Li Ge. No one !" Xu Yaxin probably didn't expect Li Qiuyang to do anything. She struggled in fear and looked for help to Lin Chujian beside her.
Lin Chujian's face turned pale. He stepped forward and grabbed Li Qiuyang's hand, shouting, "Let go!"
"You want me to let go, but I won't!"
The two men faced each other coldly, neither giving in.
Xu Yaxin was also intimidated by the aura of the two people. She forgot to cry out in pain and just stared at Lin Chujian's face. The whole box was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.
I didn't expect Li Qiuyang to defend me, and I didn't expect that Lin Chujian not only didn't stop Xu Yaxin from throwing dirty water on me, but even confronted Li Qiuyang who was defending me for Xu Yaxin.
On one hand, I was touched, on the other hand, I was heartbroken, and on the other hand, I couldn't face Yi Tian's entanglement. I could only helplessly watch everything that was out of control in front of me, unable to react at all.
Finally, Yi Tian raised her head, looked at me deeply and smiled.
That bright smile calmed my panicked heart instantly.
I have been with Lin Chujian for such a long time and I love him so much, but I still cannot say with confidence that no matter what I do, Lin Chujian will trust me and stand by me without any principles.
But for Easy Sweet, I can.
Yi Tian walked forward, pulled Li Qiuyang's hand away, then stared at Lin Chujian and asked seriously, "Lin Chujian, are you going into a cold war with Li Ge just because of Xu Yaxin's lies?"
"Hey, who is talking nonsense? Lin Chujian also saw this with his own eyes!" As soon as Xu Yaxin's hands were free, she started yelling again.
"Shut up! I want to ask Lin Chujian!" Yi Tian glared at Xu Yaxin warningly, then looked back at Lin Chujian with a sullen face.
Xu Ya was frightened by Li Qiuyang's aura beside Yi Tian, ​​and she shut up reluctantly.
Facing Yi Tian's questioning, Lin Chumian remained silent.
His silence left another wound in my heart, which was torn apart by the wind. This will eventually become an irreparable wound. Unless one day we break up completely, this wound will always be there, spreading and festering until my heart dies completely.
"Lin Chujian, you are so stupid!" Yi Tian said coldly, and then turned her attention to Xu Yaxin again, "Have you finished instigating? If you have, I will tell you that there are two possibilities. One possibility is that what you said is false, and the other is that what you said is true. If it is false, I will treat it as a fart. If it is true, then I also want to tell you that Li Ge is the kind of person who will take the initiative to give up her man without shedding a tear if she really likes him one day. Because we are good sisters, and no one in this world can compare to her position in my heart." After speaking, she took my hand without stopping for a second, "Li Ge, let's go. This meal will make people feel sick no matter how they eat it. After all, there is such a scourge here making trouble."
I was pulled outside by Yi Tian, ​​the scorching light shone on me. I looked at her holding my wrist firmly and the words she just said, and I felt hot in my heart.
Even when I saw Li Qiuyang following us out, the resentment in my heart was reduced a little.
"Hey, wait a minute!" I stopped her.
Yi Tian turned around, her eyes a little red.
"What's the matter?" I asked.
Yi Tian wiped her eyes and said, "Nothing, I just can't stand other people talking about you and trying to sow discord between us."
"Actually, the relationship between Li Qiuyang and I is not really..."
I am not mentally prepared enough to tell Yi Tian that Li Qiuyang and I are half-siblings.
She cherishes our friendship so much and loves Li Qiuyang so much. I'm not sure what kind of difficult decision she will have to make after knowing it, so I stopped halfway through my words.
My hesitation and my heartache for Yi Tian seemed to have infected Li Qiuyang beside me. He went forward and hugged Yi Tian, ​​and said to her with a tenderness that I had never seen in his eyes: "Don't worry, I won't agree to give me to anyone else."
Although Li Qiuyang did not give any explanation, his simple words were worth thousands of useless explanations.
Looking at Yi Tian smiling happily in Li Qiuyang's arms, I silently said to myself in my heart, let me make this painful decision alone, I hope she can be happy...
After breaking up with Li Qiuyang, I wanted to explain to Yi Tian again that it was impossible for any relationship to develop between Li Qiuyang and me.
Unexpectedly, Yi Tian stopped me. She hugged me gently and said, "Li Ge, you are my best friend. I will believe you under any circumstances, so Xu Yaxin's words will not make me sad. On the contrary, you must be very sad to see Lin Chujian with Xu Yaxin today. You must remember that no matter what you and Lin Chujian become, I am always by your side and will never leave you."
Fate can change clouds and rain at will, and no one knows what kind of eternity you will encounter in the next second.
But I know that the friendship between Yi Tian and I will never be overturned.
"Um...are you guys okay?" Zhou Yao rushed out of the hotel at some point and asked, standing behind us.
Zhou Yao looked as timid as ever, and kept explaining that she wanted to come out with us just now, but was pestered by Lu Yan, so it took her so long to get rid of Lu Yan and run out to catch up with us.
Zhou Yao couldn't help but sigh at the end: "Li Ge, Yi Tian is so good to you!"
I don't know why, but I could sense a hint of disappointment in her words. In order to prevent Zhou Yao from thinking too much, I consoled her by saying, "The three of us have a good relationship. If you encounter the same thing as me, Yi Tian will treat you the same way."
"Will it?" Zhou Yao chuckled, "But..."
"But just now Yi Tian said that you are her best friend, and I am probably just someone you pity!" It was a long time later that I understood the unspoken half of Zhou Yao's "but".
But at that time, I didn’t notice the resentment and disappointment in her hesitant words. Instead, I pulled Yi Tian over and answered carelessly, “Of course! We are the most stable iron triangle.”
For seniors who are about to face internships, time is something that can no longer be described as fast. In addition to the sporadic class arrangements, the school will always organize some mobilization meetings for you, and things like exams before graduation, which make you busy preparing for the internship and dealing with the school's occasional surprise attacks.
I used to feel that every class was like a battle, where I had to defeat the terrible sleepiness and deal with the teacher's roll call like a guerrilla war. At that time, I always hoped to leave and fly high in the sky of freedom. Time passed day by day, and when I really stood on the critical line of graduation, I looked back and found that I was very reluctant to leave.
Everything seemed to pass by in the blink of an eye and never come back.
After the last incident, my relationship with Xu Yaxin didn't change at all, that is, we just didn't like each other, but fortunately she was busy and so was I, and we didn't run into each other as often as I did when I went to the library to study, so we successfully avoided many clashes. On the contrary, my relationship with Yi Tian and Zhou Yao became closer and closer, and whether it was eating or studying, the three of us would "hang out" together.
Since the last bad dinner, Lu Yan had further contact with Zhou Yao, and he would ask Zhou Yao out to play whenever he had nothing to do, and Yi Tian and I also enjoyed a lot of benefits of eating, drinking and having fun. So when Zhou Yao was worried about her internship in her senior year, Yi Tian wanted to pursue love and have more time to watch the performances of the Crow Band, so he gave the internship opportunity to Lu Yan as a favor, and Lu Yan used all the connections he could to fill Zhou Yao's shoes.
The internship opportunity at Orange Media Company is what many people dream of. For this, Lu Yan treated Yi Tian and me to a week's meal. We both gained several pounds, and it took us a long time to drag Zhou Yao around the school playground before we lost the weight.
"Li Ge, do you think if I wear this skirt to report to Orange Media tomorrow, will people think I'm too tacky?"
The night before going to Orange Media, Zhou Yao stood in front of the closet in a state of confusion, rummaging for a long time, taking out clothes one by one, shaking her head and putting them back. After half an hour, she finally held up a dress and gestured in front of her.
"It's not tacky, but this one is too student-like. You should be a little more mature if you are going to work." I gave serious advice.
"You're just acting like a student..." She put her skirt back on hesitantly, biting her lower lip with her teeth, feeling aggrieved, "But I... I didn't..."
Seeing her hesitation and grievance, I understood immediately. Before she could finish her words, I jumped out of bed and opened my closet: "I bought a few sets of mature clothes for my internship at Orange Media. Why don't you pick one? I regret not having enough clothes. My mom complained about my childish clothes for a long time!"
I have never had much desire to protect my things. My mother always said that when I was a child, I was like a big philanthropist when I distributed toys and candies to other friends.
When I grew up, apart from the man I liked, I felt that material things could be shared with good friends.
"Is it really possible?" Zhou Yao's eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again.
"Of course, we are good sisters, so of course we have to share together! When we get our internship salary, we will go shopping together and buy a few more sets." I waved to Yi Tian who was chatting with Li Qiuyang on WeChat on the upper bunk.
She understood what I meant in a second, got down from the upper bunk, swept off several of my skirts like a robber, then gave me a kiss of love and shouted, "Li Ge, you are my real sister!"
Of course, she also patted Zhou Yao on the shoulder and said, "That's how good sisters should share, Zhou Yao, you're welcome."
Seeing Yi Tian ruthlessly ransacking my closet, Zhou Yao finally became less reserved and started rummaging through my closet as well.
"Well... can I wear this one?" She found a fake two-piece dress in black and white, carefully flipped over the tag that had not been removed, and her face turned a little pale.
She put the clothes down reluctantly, and said with some reluctance but trying to restrain herself: "This dress is too expensive, I..."
"It's okay, just try it on first and see if it suits you. No matter how expensive the clothes are, their value can only be reflected when someone wears them!" I encouraged Zhou Yao to try on the clothes.
Zhou Yao was pretty and delicate. Although she was petite, she was well-proportioned. She had long straight black hair, which most boys liked. She also had a gentle personality...but there was one bad thing about her: she was too cautious in everything she did.
But it's not her fault, past experiences always leave some marks on people. It takes a long time to polish, smooth it out little by little, and turn it into powder and be blown away in time.
Zhou Yao, who grew up in a poor environment, is definitely not as extravagant as Yi Tian and I in life. That is why Yi Tian and I feel even more sorry for her and are willing to share everything with her. Of course, we also try to be natural and not hurt her self-esteem.
Zhou Yao had just changed her clothes when Xu Yaxin pushed the door open and walked in. She glanced at Zhou Yao, then looked at me, and said sarcastically, "Li Ge, are you showing off your compassion again and giving alms to the poor?"
Xu Yaxin's words made Zhou Yao's face lose color instantly. She bit her lips tightly and pulled the hem of her clothes hard . It seemed that what she was wearing was no longer clothes, but hot armor, which she was eager to take off.
"Xu Yaxin, I don't want to argue with you, go away ." I rolled my eyes at her and didn't want to pay any more attention to her.
But Xu Yaxin was not willing to give in. She deliberately ignored my words and turned to Zhou Yao, sneering, "Hey, Zhou Yao, don't think that you can enter the world of the rich and become someone like Li Ge and the others just by putting on a set of brand-name clothes. You know, a chicken can never become a phoenix, haha!"
"Xu Yaxin, don't be so stubborn." Before I could lose my temper, Yi Tian started cursing on the bed.
Xu Yaxin seemed to be busy and didn't bother to argue with us. She quickly went to her bedside, got the charger and left, leaving Yi Tian and I who were very angry, and Zhou Yao who was about to cry.
That night, Yi Tian and I took a long time to comfort Zhou Yao, who was so sensitive and fragile, so that when she reported to Orange Media the next day, she was still late despite her best efforts.
"Hello, we are the interns Li Ge and Zhou Yao who are here to report today."
"You two go to the creative department and find Manager Lin Chuyu." The heavily made-up receptionist poked at the keyboard a few times and said this to me and Zhou Yao.
Lin Chuyu? This name...could it have anything to do with Lin Chujian?
With such questions in mind, the two of us found a creative idea.
What’s the saying?
Enemies often meet on a narrow road.
Outside the office, we passed by Xu Yaxin who was just going out. Of course, in this situation, I was not stupid enough to take the initiative to declare war on Xu Yaxin.
After knocking on the door and getting permission, we pushed it open and saw a man sitting at his desk, typing on his computer keyboard.
"Hello, Manager Lin. We are the interns reporting in today. My name is Li Ge."
"My name is Zhou Yao."
It was a while after we introduced ourselves that the man in front of me, named Lin Chuyu, raised his head.
I was stunned for a moment.
The person in front of him is so similar to Lin Chujian, the only difference is that one is the sunny version of a youthful campus, while the other is the advanced elite version in the workplace.
“Are you late on your first day at work?” Before I could point out the differences between Lin Chuyu and Lin Chujian one by one, Lin Chuyu’s cold snort woke me up.
Before I came here, I heard that the manager of the creative department is a devil boss. According to this situation, it seems that our days in the future will be difficult!
My mother taught me since I was a child that attitude is crucial when doing something wrong, and attitude determines the severity of the punishment. So I quickly admitted my mistake and said, "I'm sorry, manager, it's our fault. We don't have a good sense of time. Please punish us according to the company's regulations!"
Now I can only pray that my well-behaved and pious attitude will make my devil boss let me go quickly.
But who would have thought that when the silly girl Zhou Yao saw Lin Chuyu remained silent, she became nervous and began to explain hurriedly: "Manager Lin, this is our first day at work, and we didn't know it would be so congested. We promise that it won't happen again next time, and..."
I pulled Zhou Yao's clothes, trying to get her to stop, but she didn't seem to notice at all and continued talking about the reason for being late.
As a result, Zhou Yao was interrupted by Lin Chuyu before she could finish her words: "Stop! I never listen to excuses."
Lin Chuyu retorted to Zhou Yao with one sentence. I turned my head slightly to glance at Zhou Yao. There was mist in her eyes, as if she could cry at any time.
"Are you going to cry in my office? Haha, let me tell you, this won't work on me. If you dare to shed a tear today, get out of here." Lin Chuyu's tone was obviously calm, but his words were full of majesty... and a threat that went straight to the heart.
I pulled Zhou Yao behind me and said sincerely, "Manager Lin, we were indeed wrong about what happened today. We are willing to bear all the punishments. I hope you won't kick us out on the first day."
Seeing me stand up, Lin Chuyu's eyes didn't seem surprised at all: "Your name is Li Ge?"
“Yeah.” I thought that if he was really related to Lin Chujian by blood, he would probably have heard about me from him, so he would let me go.
"Looking at your file, your professional performance is good. Well, considering your sincerity in taking the punishment, go to the reference room and sort out all the backlogged file bags by year." After saying that, he looked at Zhou Yao and said, "You can go to work at your position."
I don’t know if it’s really like what I thought - he is related to Lin Chujian by blood, so he let me go. In short, he no longer makes things difficult for us.
When leaving, Zhou Yao whispered to me: "Li Ge, thank you."
I smiled at her to show that it didn't matter.
However, this indifferent smile completely disappeared after seeing the countless file bags in the data room.
I am almost certain that this Lin Chuyu has nothing to do with Lin Chujian.
Lin Chujian is a gentle and lovely little lamb.
And Lin Chuyu is a vicious and cruel big bad wolf.
When Lin Chujian was not by my side, there were many mornings when I was afraid to wake up and face a new day. Because I didn't know if I would spend the day in painful longing again, and if I would see Lin Chujian turn around again.
I used to think that I was a very pretentious person, laughing out loud every day and feeling sad and missing someone every day.
After I started working, I realized that being pretentious be summed up in one sentence: too much free time. If something keeps you busy, so busy that you don’t even have time to drink water, you will find that you have no time to be pretentious.
I am busy in the office every day wearing high heels, and I always feel particularly satisfied when I go back to the dormitory to soak my sore feet.
Before my parents' divorce became public, my mother always worried that with my temper, if I didn't start my own company, few bosses would be able to tolerate me.
But right now, I really want to walk up to her proudly and tell her that not only do I work in a good company, but my boss also recognizes me and my career prospects are very bright.
Of course, my mom was so busy with her soul mate that she barely had time to chat with me. Seeing her like this, it was the first time I thought that maybe divorce was the best option for them.
The days passed one by one, and I told Yi Tian that I felt I was particularly suited to being a white-collar worker, working overtime in the cubicle every day, going out to face the rising sun, and leaving work under the starlight.
Yi Tian smiled and said to me that I was bewitched by the Starbucks breakfast downstairs from the company.
But we all know that this is genuine.
In school, I always thought I was very impressive. When it comes to professional achievements, few people can surpass me. But when I was in society, I realized that there is always someone better than you. Any creative director who has worked for one or two years can easily beat me. I know that only by working hard and learning constantly can I make progress. In this regard, Lin Chuyu is a good boss. Although he always points out our mistakes at work sharply and sometimes scolds us, the result is always good.
Even a spinning top has a time to rest. This time is often the most difficult because I can't help but think of Lin Chujian.
The Lin Chujian I like has beautiful eyes and eyebrows, and she is very gentle when .
My favorite Lin Chujian always likes to wear white clothes, and he never gets angry even if I stain his clothes with paint.
The Lin Chujian I like always frowns. She frowns because I don’t like eating vegetables; she frowns because I always bump into myself accidentally; she frowns because I always like to keep my unhappiness in my heart.
I like……
I recalled more and more the years that Lin Chujian and I had been together, and tears welled up easily. For three years, I always thought that Lin Chujian would be within my reach, and I could grab her as long as I stretched out my hand.
But in the end, we still got separated.
I don’t know if he is officially together with Xu Yaxin. After all, we haven’t officially broken up yet!
Monday, regular department meeting.
After Lin Chuyu summarized a week’s work, he was silent for a while. When everyone thought that the “big devil” was going to curse again, he called my name coldly.
"Lei Ge."
Just like the tight hoop in Tang Monk's mouth, my name from Lin Chuyu's mouth made my scalp tingle. I stood up stiffly, ready to face the storm.
"Did you come up with the plan for the Hongyuan Jewelry special program?" He was always like this, cold and emotionless.
My neck became stiff and I nodded.
“Well done.”
I clearly heard everyone present gasp. They looked at Lin Chuyu and then at me in shock. The smiles of congratulations on their faces were uglier than crying.
You may think, as I do, that there must be a lot of thunder and lightning behind the praise of the "big devil". But...
As time passed, he didn't add anything to the matter. I finally let go of my worry and accepted this rare compliment with peace of mind.
There was cold sweat on his forehead.
"Zhou Yao." The big devil shouted again.
With my previous experience as a lesson, Zhou Yao was a little nervous when she stood up, but she didn't act as if she was facing a great enemy as I did.
I glanced at her sideways, her face was flushed and she seemed to be expecting something.
"Did you take care of the Kia Construction project?" Lin Chuyu asked, his tone still cold.
"Yes," she replied.
"How did you get into Orange Media? How can I show this kind of plan to the client? I've had someone teach you for so long, and you only produce something like this? I can just find someone on the street to teach me for a while, and he won't be so stupid!" A folder was thrown out, and the A4 file paper landed on the desk and in front of everyone. "I'll give you one day to revise it and give it to me."
"Yes." Zhou Yao's voice was filled with tears.
"I emphasize again, my department doesn't need tears. If you want to cry, get out and cry. The meeting is adjourned." Lin Chuyu took the documents and left the meeting room indifferently. Everyone also left. Except for me, no one came forward to comfort Zhou Yao.
I walked over to Zhou Yao, took out a tissue and handed it to her, trying to comfort her in a relaxed tone, "Don't take it to heart. Who in this department hasn't been scolded by the big devil? You'll get used to it if you feel like you've been pierced by thousands of arrows."
"But he..." Zhou Yao swallowed the rest of her words. She shook her head stubbornly and said, "It's okay. I will continue to work hard. You don't have to worry about me."
I patted her shoulder and turned away. I didn't hear the second half of her sentence.
But he...
I complimented you!
When it comes to work, some are happy while others are sad. I was praised, but Zhou Yao was sad.
Just now, Lu Yan’s WeChat messages came to me one after another, which made me feel overwhelmed.
"Li Ge, you're doing so well. My Zhou Yao has been unhappy recently because of work. You must comfort her!"
"Li Ge, I will buy you whatever you want, as long as you are willing to help our Zhou Yao. You know she has a strong sense of self-esteem, and she will definitely not agree if I use my connections directly."
"Li Ge, since we have been good friends for so many years, I'll leave our future to you."
"Li Ge..."
Lu Yan's messages came one after another. Every time I saw the three words "Li Ge ah", my brain exploded and I wanted to pull Lu Yan out and beat him up. This guy who values ​​love over friendship, only knows to ask me to take care of Zhou Yao, why doesn't he feel sorry for me at all, I am a person who has been heartbroken!
"I would help you even without you telling me. Zhou Yao is my good friend!" No matter how unhappy she was, she still replied to him.
Just when I was thinking about how to help Zhou Yao, Lin Chuyu suddenly came out of the office and said to me: "Li Ge, the program you planned has received good response. Please organize the materials on hand and make a presentation to the leader tomorrow. Once it is done, the higher-ups may assign a big project to our department. However, come to my place to rehearse it before the presentation."
Lin Chuyu asked his secretary to notify him of most of his matters and rarely went out on his own. This time, it seemed really important.
Thinking of Lu Yan's WeChat message just now, I thought about it and suggested to Lin Chuyu, "Boss Lin, I have to go to a meeting with Hongyuan Jewelry in a while, so I may not be able to get away. In fact, Zhou Yao has been following this program from planning to post-production, and I think she can do it."
Lin Chuyu stared at me, thought for a while and said, "Then Zhou Yao, get ready and come to my place tomorrow morning to do a rehearsal of the introduction."
After saying that, Lin Chuyu walked back to the office.
After Lin Chuyu left, Zhou Yao dared to quietly move to my side, looked at me gratefully and thanked me: "Li Ge, thank you for giving me this opportunity, I will definitely work hard."
"Come on, I'm going to the meeting now." I wanted to tell Zhou Yao that opportunities are not given by others, but are earned by oneself, but after thinking about it, I gave up. She is so sensitive, it would be bad if she thought too much and thought I was showing off to her.
After spending some time with Zhou Yao, I found that Zhou Yao is very sensitive and suspicious. Often, a careless word from others will make her feel humiliated or excluded. This is probably related to her difficult and insecure life. Although I feel tired sometimes, I understand her when I think of the suffering she has endured. I just hope that my and Yi Tian's care for her, and Lu Yan's unreserved and sincere love for her can free her from those complicated and tormenting emotions and gain simple happiness.
What I didn’t expect was that the next day, Zhou Yao walked out of Lin Chuyu’s office crying.
Lin Chuyu's office door was open, and everyone heard what he said.
He said, "Zhou Yao, what I want is someone who is generous, calm, and can convince the leaders to introduce us to a big project, not a superficial, flattering, and tedious explanation without any technical content. You and Li Ge graduated from the same school, so why is there such a big difference? Do you know where you are different? You are too petty and have a narrow vision. You can only see the things at the bottom of the well and cannot see the big world outside. I still say that I don’t need an employee who can only shed tears. If you still can’t learn to do practical things, please leave my team."
This was the third time that Lin Chuyu asked Zhou Yao to leave, which was very humiliating for her.
Although what Lin Chuyu said was not wrong, I still felt sorry for Zhou Yao.
When she walked out of the office, her colleagues who were watching the fun had already stopped listening and continued working as if they hadn't heard anything.
I walked up to Zhou Yao, wanting to comfort her but not knowing how to start.
"Li Ge, is it because I am from the countryside that I am destined to not be able to keep up with you city people?" Zhou Yao looked up at me with a complicated look in her eyes.
"No, Manager Lin just..." I didn't know how to comfort Zhou Yao, nor did I know how to answer this question.
Fortunately, Lin Chuyu saved me. He shouted at the door of the office: "Li Ge, give me an introduction quickly, and you come with me tomorrow."
"Okay, right away." I didn't have much time to comfort Zhou Yao. After Lin Chuyu's order, I had to go back to my seat and start working on tomorrow's introductory materials.
I was so busy with work that I didn't notice the change in Zhou Yao's expression , nor did I see the resentment in her eyes when I turned around.
There is no love without reason in this world, and naturally there is no hate without reason.
When a person hates another person, it may be the result of years of accumulated psychological imbalance, or it may be the result of a small detail being ignored, or even a random remark. You will never know where you have touched someone's sore spot, and you will never understand when you are hated by others.
All I can say is that everything has its own root cause. We are not each other, we just don’t understand.
