Chapter 5: Ex-boyfriend VS rumored boyfriend 1
After coming down from the rooftop, Shen Chenxi did not go directly back to the dormitory, but staggered out of the school gate alone.
After hearing what Mo Kairui said, her mind became even more confused. If Mo Kairui really liked her, should she... accept it? However, she was not ready for a new relationship. Reject him? Those sweet and annoying feelings kept lingering in her heart.
Alas, love is such a annoying thing.
Shen Chenxi walked into a small bar a few blocks away from the school.
The bar is called "Fei". It is not big. The bar counter is made of iron sheets from construction sheds, and carefully arranged lamps are hung up and down on the roof. At the innermost part of the bar, there is a simple but exquisite small stage, which looks grand and charming under the light.
At this time, the night was falling, and the bar was at its busiest. There were girls wearing alternative clothes, holding microphones and singing passionately.
Shen Chenxi walked straight to the bar and sat down, listening to the powerful and dynamic song, slightly distracted.
She used to come here with her roommates. They loved to drink, play finger-guessing games, and play some small games, while she would quietly sit in a corner and listen to music.
Although she couldn't drink much and would get drunk after one glass of wine, she sang well and occasionally sang a few songs on stage. After a few visits, she became familiar with the boss, San Ge. Unfortunately, since they entered their senior year, they were all busy writing graduation papers and doing internships , and rarely came here again.
"Hi, Xiaochen, long time no see!" A silly-looking man walked out of the bar and greeted her.
"Hi, Third Brother!" Shen Chenxi smiled and replied, "I came here specially to listen to music today. It's still the same old rules..."
"Okay!" The third sister made an OK gesture to the handsome guy at the bar, and the guy quickly brought her a glass of orange juice and also served her her favorite pine nut corn.
"Thank you, Third Brother!" Unexpectedly, even though she hadn't come for a few months, Third Brother still remembered her preferences clearly.
The third brother waved his hand and smiled very gentlemanly: "Why are you being polite? You are so busy with your internship, and you can still take time to come here and sit down. The third brother is very pleased!"
"Don't say that." Shen Chenxi was a little embarrassed. It was just that once the resident singer here didn't come, and she temporarily saved the situation. Since then, the third brother regarded her as a "lifesaver".
"Xiao Chen, are you interested in singing a song today?"
Shen Chenxi looked at the men and women dancing wildly under the small stage and shook his head: "Aren't you afraid that if I go up and sing "Lullaby", everyone here will run away?"
"Haha! You've become so poor after not seeing you for a few months." The third brother raised the beer in his hand and clinked glasses with hers.
Shen Chenxi had been in a depressed mood for the whole day, and she instantly relaxed during this familiar conversation.
"Third brother, come, I toast you!"
The third brother looked at Shen Chenxi with amusement, who only had a sip of orange juice left in the glass: "Drink as much as you want, and ask the bartender to squeeze you a fresh squeeze of juice when you're done! If you want to sing, go up and sing, and don't be restrained in front of the third brother."
There was a mischievous gleam in Shen Chenxi's eyes: "Third brother, it's a rare opportunity for me to come here, won't you accompany me to drink to your heart's content?"
The third brother scratched his head embarrassedly: "I have a date later, so I won't accompany you!"
"Ah!" Shen Chenxi sighed. Since when did even the "perennially single" Third Brother have a girlfriend? Oh, the whole world is showing off their love, but her love life is a mess.
Watching the back of the third brother leaving in a chic manner, Shen Chenxi picked up the freshly squeezed orange juice and took a few gulps. Alas, I can't get rid of my sorrows with just one drink, so I'll just drink the beverage instead of alcohol!
"Hey, isn't this Shen Chenxi, the cold-faced otaku who became famous overnight on the forum?"
Damn it! This ambiguous tone seems to be from the playboy Li Sibai.
Shen Chenxi turned around and saw Li Sibai, dressed like a rooster in a red shirt and green pants, walking towards her with a bad look on his face.
It's true that enemies often meet on a narrow road!
Shen Chenxi cursed inwardly, turned around and sat down, ignoring him, and continued to sip the drink in his hand.
"Why, you come to the bar but don't drink, are you pretending to be noble? Isn't your Fengyun senior here? Are you afraid that the menopausal female teacher will break up the couple?"
Shen Chenxi bit her lip and held back her words. Arguing with such a playboy was simply lowering her status.
Unexpectedly, Li Sibai kept buzzing in her ear like a fly: "You and Xu Xiaoxiao have a good relationship. You actually teamed up to frame me, causing me to be slapped several times by Yu Tingting, that bitch. And you, you have good acting skills, and you even said you have asthma. It turns out you were trying to trick me."
"Haha... you can only blame yourself for being stupid! I never said I liked you from the beginning to the end. It was just your wishful thinking and self-indulgent behavior."
"you……"
"Me? What about me? I am the nemesis of playboys. Are you afraid? If you are afraid, just stay away from me!"
"Hmph! Don't think I can't do anything to you. I have the ability to find out that the people in the photo on the forum are you and Mo Kairui, and then I can make your secret love affair public. I don't believe that you hooked up with the favorite student of 'Mistress Miejue', and she will let you go!"
It turned out that all this was caused by this villain. Not only did she scold Xu Xiaoxiao, but she also misunderstood Mo Kairui. This playboy was so shameless, vulgar, and disgusting!
Shen Chenxi's hand holding the cup was throbbing with veins: "You poor wretch, no one likes you. Not only are you ugly, but you also do despicable and shameless things. No matter how you flatter girls, they will never like you. People like you deserve to be dumped a thousand or ten thousand times."
"You..." Li Sibai was so desperate that he stretched out his hand to hit Shen Chenxi. Fortunately, she was quick and picked up an empty beer bottle from the next table to block him, so he didn't dare to do anything rash.
At this time, guests from other tables also gathered around and accused Li Sibai of being violent towards a girl as a grown man.
Li Sibai, who was besieged by the crowd, immediately retreated and ran out of the bar in shame.
Shen Chenxi was no longer in the mood to listen to music. He clutched the beer bottle tightly and walked out of the bar step by step.
On the street, the slightly cold night wind blew up her skirt. She took a deep breath and subconsciously lifted her bangs with her hand.
Although she didn't want to admit that she had ignorantly regarded Mo Kairui as a rogue, she really hurt him today.
She took out her cell phone and called him.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unanswered, please wait..."
I hung up and called again, but still no one answered.
Thinking of his resolute back when he left, he probably won't forgive her anymore!
"No, I want to go to his dormitory to find him." Shen Chenxi strode towards the school and accidentally bumped into someone. When he looked up, it turned out to be "Nun Miejue".
"Shen Chenxi, why did you come back to school so late? You are already a senior, and you should set an example for your juniors. You walked without looking at the road, so reckless. Tsk tsk, what are you going to do when you enter the society in the future..."
"I'm sorry, teacher. I will pay attention next time. I will go back right now!" After saying this, Shen Chenxi ran back to the dormitory.
If we continue to listen to "Mistress Miejue" nagging, the dormitory will be closed.
Alas, I originally wanted to go directly to Mo Kairui's dormitory to find him. Unfortunately, I ran into the difficult "Mistress Miejue".
Mo Kairui, I'll apologize to you next time!
How many times has she looked at her phone?
Shen Chenxi looked at the black screen of his phone and felt like swallowing it.
Ever since she called Mo Kairui yesterday and no one answered, she has developed a disease called "staring at the phone in a daze". Although she was wrong first, she had already called him to apologize, but it's been a day and he still didn't answer the phone. What does that mean?
And there’s Xu Xiaoxiao, who doesn’t answer the phone or reply to text messages.
These cousins are determined to take advantage of her, right?
Well! She didn't wait any longer. She could spend this little time on reading and cultivate the temperament of a literary young woman!
"Chenxi." The dormitory head called her with an obvious smile on his lips, "I've been reading for an hour, why haven't I seen you turn the pages of the book?"
"Well... the part I'm reading is a little difficult to understand, so it will take me a little longer." Shen Chenxi's eyes were not on the book, but he answered as a matter of course.
"Are you sure..." the head of the dormitory said in a long voice, "You seem to have the book in the wrong place..."
Ah! Her face is about to be thrown into the Pacific Ocean.
Shen Chenxi buried her head in the pillow, wanting to cry but unable to.
Her roommates found internships a few months ago, and the head of the dormitory was determined to take the postgraduate entrance exam and had been preparing hard. With only one month left before graduation, her internship handbook was still empty, not to mention a stamp. Mo Kairui had finally given her an internship opportunity, but she had offended him. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
"Chenxi, I got it!" The dormitory head shook the phone in his hand at her.
"Ah?" Shen Chenxi suddenly came back to her senses, looked at her with a pair of bright eyes, and asked, "What did you do?"
"Inform the sisters to have a dorm chat tonight. The topic is 'Should I risk my graduation prospects to get angry with Mo Kairui?' And by the way, let's predict whether you two have a chance."
Shen Chenxi laughed foolishly. Could she not participate in this gossip party that would only cause more trouble?
At eight o'clock in the evening, the bedside chat began with the rustling sound of eating snacks.
"Chenxi, are you stupid? Mo Kairui has already spoken, why are you still hesitating? You are being so pretentious! Of course I have to go!"
"I agree! I'll lend you my cosmetics tomorrow so you can put on some beautiful makeup."
"But I accidentally offended him yesterday, and he hasn't answered my calls these two days." Shen Chenxi pouted and said unhappily.
"Are you still the Shen Chenxi whose face is thicker than the Great Wall? If you want to apologize, go to the company to find him tomorrow! And go to the internship at the same time, killing two birds with one stone."
"But……"
"Chenxi." The dormitory head who had been silent all this time could not help but speak up, "If you really don't want to go, don't force yourself. I'll ask someone to stamp your stamp for you. As for Mo Kairui, if you don't like him, staying away from him is the right choice."
At this moment, Shen Chenxi was thinking: If he didn't go, Mo Kairui would be punished by the HR department! He had fought so hard for the opportunity, but he stood it up. It was unacceptable.
Although Mo Kairui was arrogant and had a bad temper, his attitude towards her had changed 360 degrees since they talked about their secrets in the cave. In addition, he even lent her his shoulder to lean on when they went camping and stargazing, so he could be considered a warm man.
In order to keep his promise, she should just go to the internship obediently!
"Okay! It's decided. I'll go to work tomorrow!" When Shen Chenxi finally made up her mind, it was already three o'clock in the morning. She was so sleepy that her eyelids were fighting each other.
The result of lack of sleep was that Shen Chenxi was "gloriously" late for work for the first time in his life.
On the first day of the probation period, Shen Chenxi was not only late, but also went there in a muddle-headed way wearing flip-flops. Even more tragically, he sprained his ankle when getting off the bus.
Colleagues watched Shen Chenxi limping into the office, and they were all secretly delighted: "It's going to be a good show!"
Sure enough, in less than five minutes, a middle-aged aunt wearing black-rimmed glasses and a black business suit walked over majestically.
The tall boy following behind her was Mo Kairui.
"Mo..." Shen Chenxi was about to say hello, but saw that his face turned pale and he gave her a look that said "be quiet".
The aunt was looking her up and down, waving something like a pointer in her hand around her.
"The bangs are too long, they are not acceptable."
"T-shirt, jeans, and slippers? Please don't let me see you dressed so rudely in the future."
"Your nails are painted all over the place. Are you here for a beauty pageant?"
"The dark circles under my eyes are so heavy that they seriously affect my colleagues' mood at work..."
…
As soon as the woman opened her mouth, she criticized Shen Chenxi's entire body, almost picking .
Shen Chenxi felt that this was simply an upgraded version of "Mistress Miejue". She finally got rid of the shackles of "Mistress Ye", but now she was being "poisoned" by this menopausal woman in front of her. How miserable was her life!
"Oh!" Shen Chenxi couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
The "women's director" who was talking was interrupted by her sigh. She pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose and glanced at Shen Chenxi sideways: "Why, do you have any objections?"
"No no no, Auntie, I..."
"Auntie?" Other colleagues laughed in silence. The girl is very fierce! In Shengtong, everyone knows that age is a taboo for Sister Li.
really……
"I'm the human resources and administration supervisor, please call me Sister Li!" The "Women's Director" was so angry that her face turned blue.
Colleagues all gave Shen Chenxi a look that said "I wish you all the best".
"Sister Li, the new girl is immature, so don't bother with her." Mo Kairui glared at her and said softly to Sister Li, "Let her join the company first. The girl is immature, so you can slowly train her in the future."
These flawless words instantly softened the expression of the "Women's Director".
Shen Chenxi looked at Mo Kairui with gratitude. At the critical moment, he still had some humanity!
However……
When she was taken by Mo Kairui to report to the Human Resources Department, she deeply understood the profound meaning of "slowly training".
Although she was just a rookie in a computer department full of experts, she was a graduate of the computer department after all! It was fine if the "women's director" arranged for her to be an assistant at the front desk, but why did she even have to do the cleaning lady's job?
It's clearly a personal vendetta.
She doesn't accept it!
She was ready to argue with Sister Li to fight for her rights: "Sister Li..."
"Sister Li, I'll take Shen Chenxi to work at the front desk now." Mo Kairui interrupted her coldly and pulled her out of the Human Resources Department.
"Shen Chenxi, have you had enough of the trouble?"
"What do you mean?" Shen Chenxi pouted and said with a look of grievance.
"If I hadn't stopped you in time, what would you have said to offend others?"
Offended? It was the "Women's Director" who confused public and private matters first, so why put all the blame on her? "Mo Kairui, I was wrong to misunderstand you on the rooftop that day, but this Sister Li is too bullying. I, I..."
"What? Are you still going to fight her?" Mo Kairui frowned secretly. Does she know what the rules of survival in the workplace are? "You talked back to your boss on the first day. Is this your attitude when you come to the internship?"
"I just can't stand her bullying attitude!"
"That's too much?" Mo Kairui crossed his arms over his chest and looked her over. "You're dressed like this, I'm lucky I didn't punish you to clean the toilet."
Dressed like this? Is it really as serious as he said?
Shen Chenxi looked at herself, a T-shirt, jeans, and slippers. Well, she did look a bit like an old lady rushing to the market to buy vegetables. Then she looked at Mo Kairui, a white shirt with a black suit, neat short hair, handsome features, and a perfect workplace elite.
