On the way back from Qingyun Temple, Yao Yao kept fantasizing about her and Wen Jun's good things. I couldn't bear to spoil her good mood, so I just listened quietly.
After returning home, I received a WeChat message from Zhou Heng.
"You don't have to force it too much, I will explain to the family."
He was talking about going to his house for dinner next Saturday.
I stared at the screen for a long time and didn't know how to reply. In the end, I just sent a smiling emoji.
In the company, I was drawing a blueprint. There aren't many projects in the company recently. It really is an economic downturn, and the whole industry is affected.
"Xiao Meng, good news, do you want to hear it?" Du Yuwei appeared out of nowhere, and when I looked up, I saw his strangely smiling face in front of me.
I just glanced at him and asked nonchalantly, "Can I still have good things happen to me?"
He replied seriously, "Of course."
Me: "Go ahead, I'm listening."
Du Yuwei's face lit up with a smile. He pulled the chair next to me and sat down.
"Stop working for a moment and listen to me first."
I had to put down the work in my hands and see what he was up to.
"You will definitely have better performance at the end of the year than last year," he blinked a few times, with a hint of mystery in his eyes, as if he was deliberately teasing.
I just stared at him and didn't speak, continuing to watch his performance.
Could it be that penny-pincher wants to give me a higher commission? That doesn't fit his personality. Don't be fooled by Du Yuwei's appearance, he's very shrewd when it comes to money.
He smiled and said, "Because starting this week, you will have more cases in your hands, all thanks to a benefactor helping you."
He reached out and put his hand on my shoulder, earnestly advising me, "Ah, Xiao Ling, this is what they call 'When one door closes, another opens.'"
After saying that, he chuckled to himself.
I was puzzled, seeing him like this, it seemed like the company had received a big order, so he didn't have to worry about money for the Chinese New Year. I didn't expect that Du Yuwei still had the ability to maintain the business under such circumstances. "So, I want you to be the head of the design department."
This is the key point. Du Yuwei wants to promote me.
I asked in a hurry, "Big Boss, is this really what you said?"
"Yes," Du Yuwei looked at me with open eyes and added, "But you also need to handle the client contact."
Me: "No problem."
This is the first time I am completely in charge of a project, and I am determined to perform well and prove my abilities.
Du Yuwei saw me happy, he rubbed his hands and showed a hint of difficulty.
I suddenly felt uneasy, as if things were not as simple as they seemed. "Xiao Meng, actually..." Du Yuwei chuckled, hesitated to speak, and I anxiously grabbed his arm, asking, "Actually what?" "Hehe! Actually, it's nothing, just, just..." He pushed away my hand, sat up straight, and put on a serious expression: "We must not offend this client at all costs."
I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was something else. No need for him to say that.
I turned around, continued to open the drawings, and said, "Rest assured, I will definitely put my heart into the project I am responsible for."
Du Yuwei seemed to want to say something else. I saw his mouth move, but in the end, he just shrugged, indicating, "That's it."
Yao Yao came over after Du Yuwei left, her eyes still lingering on Du Yuwei's figure, and she asked me, "You've been promoted, so you have to treat us."
I sighed. I hadn't even received the money yet, and now I have to treat them. This is so unfair.
"Alright, what do you want to eat?"
Yao Yao: "I've thought about it, how about Japanese cuisine? There's a new one on Yunxia Road, and they're having a discount these days."
Me: "Okay, you make the reservation."
Yao Yao: "No time like the present, let's go tonight. I'll invite Wen Jun."
Seeing her blushing, I stared at her and asked, "Have you and Wen Jun discussed it?" Yao Yao twisted and turned, smiling coyly, "Yes, we agreed to visit his parents at the end of the year." I nodded. They had been dating for several years, and it took the woman's insistence for the man to agree to bring her home to meet his parents. I hope Yao Yao won't be heartbroken this time.
"Congratulations then," Yao Yao waved her hand, "It's still early." The happiness on her face couldn't deceive anyone, I think, at this moment, her heart is indeed full of hope. I just hope that everything goes as she wishes.
After a whole afternoon of work, I feel dizzy and exhausted. Finally getting through to the end of the workday, I can relax a bit at least.
Yao Yao is on the phone, the smile on her lips declaring her happiness.
Walking alongside her, I hear her voice soften a bit. Indeed, a woman can become gentle in front of her beloved man.
After a while, she hung up the phone with a somewhat disappointed look on her face. "Wen Jun Company suddenly had to work overtime and can't make it. It's just the two of us tonight, let's have a good time." She smiled and linked arms with me, instantly transforming back into the outgoing Yao Yao. "Let's have dinner, go karaoke, and consider it a reward for our hard work."
Yao Yao suggested it and I didn't object. It's been a long time since I went to KTV. Yao Yao invited a few colleagues again, booked a time and a private room. That's how the evening's schedule was filled up. The newly opened Japanese restaurant, Sakura Kitchen, is really popular. It's decorated in Japanese style, playing Japanese music, and exuding a sense of Japanese elegance everywhere.
I don't know if it's because of the discount, but when we got there, there was only one spot left. Luckily, it was just me and Yao Yao, so the cramped spot could only fit the two of us. Yao Yao even joked, "It's fate, thank goodness Wen Jun didn't come."
Me: "Wen Jun is working overtime, and you're out there having fun. That's really unfair."
Yao Yao: "It's no big deal, I'll bring him some food to reward him when he gets back."
I smile: "That's why Wen Jun is lucky to have married you."
"Just, I want to tell him, I am such a good wife, if he can't see that, it's his loss."
I was amused by her and burst into laughter.
Yao Yao and I ordered dishes and started chatting, from work to her marriage, we talked about everything. The more Yao Yao talked, the more excited she became, as if all the gloom had dissipated.
The dishes are served, and as we eat, we continue our conversation.
Yao Yao asked me, "Do you know what scenery is the most charming at Qingyun Temple?"
I shook my head, indicating that I was eager to hear more.
Yao Yao blinked and deliberately said, " Master Zhou, ah, the gentle and handsome little Master Zhou."
I was swallowing a bite of salmon, and the wasabi rushed from my mouth to my nasal cavity, making me unable to hold back a sneeze: Ah-choo.
In an instant, my tears and snot came out.
Yao Yao's words scared me so much that I broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing me in such a state, Yao Yao burst into laughter, pointing at me and saying, "Ling Xiaomeng, you said you weren't interested in her." I quickly wiped my eyes and nose with a tissue; this feeling was too uncomfortable. It wasn't just the wasabi that made me choke, but also Yao Yao's confession that left me feeling flustered and at a loss.
Do I have it? Do I have unusual feelings for Zhou Heng?
Yao Yao handed me a glass of water, "Don't be too emotional. Do you want me to help you?"
I hurriedly stopped her, "Don't cause trouble."
Yao Yao is anxious: "Ling Xiaomeng, you are so clueless. If you don't take action soon, Zhou Heng will no longer be yours."
Click! It seems like my facial nerves made a cracking sound, and I blankly held the water cup. Although Yao Yao's words were exaggerated, they stirred up ripples in my heart.
What does she mean?
