As we enter the end of the year, everything seems to be coming to an end.
Lin Sui sat indifferently at her workstation, listening to Jasmine and Lily discussing where to spend Christmas tomorrow. She turned her head and looked out the window. It was so fast! Another year was almost over.
This time last year, she remembered, she was still busy looking for stories. Zhou Dang came home drunk every day, and she didn't even want to look at him. Yet, this year, she had changed so much. She touched her belly, then quickly took her hand away. Fortunately, fortunately, the baby was still growing safely in her belly.
She had no plans for Christmas. At most, she allowed herself to cook a hot pot in the rental house to satisfy her hunger, and she had to try not to eat too much in order to control her weight.
She was not without regrets, as if her life was becoming increasingly miserable, but it also seemed like it was all her own fault.
Gu Yuan ordered afternoon tea for the entire company to celebrate Christmas Eve. Lin Sui directly gave her portion to Lily. She now has to control herself from eating less sweets. It is said on the Internet that if pregnant women eat too much sweets, the baby's head will be big.
She even secretly observed Zhou Dang's head. Fortunately, it wasn't too big. At least his genes were okay. But she couldn't be careless, especially since eating sweets was both fattening and addictive.
Gu Yuan saw that Lin Sui's workstation was empty, so he came over and asked with a smile why Lin Sui didn't eat.
"Pregnant women should give up sugar if they are afraid of getting fat."
Lin Sui gave a wry smile. She no longer had any feelings for Gu Yuan. She felt tired, too lazy to get to know a new person, too lazy to recount her own upbringing, too lazy to get along with him. After several rounds of pushing and pulling with Gu Yuan, she found it increasingly boring.
Ultimately, it was her selfishness, wanting someone who loved her wholeheartedly. That person used to be Qin Chen, and now it was Blank. She had no confidence in Gu Yuan, nor in Zhou Dang, so she simply retreated into her shell. Although escaping was shameful, it was safe.
Gu Yuan pulled the corner of his mouth and looked at Lin Sui. Lin Sui had obviously been avoiding him recently. He had tried to ask Lin Sui out for dinner several times, but Lin Sui had always avoided him. His relationship with Lin Sui had suddenly returned to what it was a long time ago. He was very upset, but there was nothing he could do.
After work, Lin Sui drove back to the suburbs alone, holding the apple given by the front desk. The rental house was empty. For the first time, she felt that such a small room could seem empty.
She washed the apple, held the apple and sat on the sofa. Suddenly she wanted to listen to a song, so she took out her mobile phone, searched for it, and then played it.
I'm not born to be lonely
But I understand better than anyone else
Even if you give me the world
I still have nothing
I want to be happy
I want to be able to sleep peacefully
Some people only feel warm when they are no longer hugged, and only when they leave do they stop hating
I should have given up long ago
…
Lin Sui listened to the entire song silently, wiped away her tears, and then ate the apple bite by bite.
She turned on the lights in all the rooms, turned on the TV, played a mindless TV series, and forced herself to get into the plot. This was her Christmas Eve.
In sharp contrast to Lin Sui is Qin Chen's hot pot restaurant. Because it is Christmas Eve, business is booming. Qin Chen directly implements a 24-hour non-stop opening model, recruits several waves of handsome men and beautiful women as hourly workers, works in shifts, and makes a lot of money.
Although she was working shifts, Wan Qing was still exhausted. She had never experienced such hardship before. Her legs were sore from standing every day that she thought about quitting several times. But when she saw Qin Chen's handsome face, she told herself to endure it a little longer.
Ever since her one-night stand with Qin Chen, Wan Qing thought that there was something different between her and Qin Chen, so she started to act arrogantly among the many waiters, often asking others to take her place while she went to the bathroom to slack off. Gradually, some people began to be dissatisfied with her, and many people gossiped about her behind her back. In addition, Wan Qing was always arrogant, and she would ignore everyone when they talked to her, with an expression that she was not an ordinary person. Everyone had been dissatisfied with her for a long time.
Wan Qing didn't bother to care about these. She felt that she didn't use any privileges. At most, she went to the toilet more frequently. Even if it was exposed, it wouldn't be wrong, right?
That night, it was the peak customer flow period and also Wan Qing's menstrual period. She really couldn't bear it anymore, so she asked Xiaoyu in the lobby to take her place for a while. Unexpectedly, in just a short while, she got into big trouble.
Wan Qing first went to the toilet, then took a painkiller, and finally hid on the small bed in Qin Chen's office and took a nap. Who would have thought that she would take a nap for two hours. When she hurried to her seat, she saw Gu Manzhen and Xue Xiaowan standing there, and Xiaoyu was standing in the middle with her head down and crying softly.
"I'm here. Sorry it took a little while." Wan Qing walked over and apologized to Xiaoyu with a smile.
Gu Manzhen snorted coldly, "A bit long? Did it take you more than two hours to go to the bathroom? The lobby manager looked for Xiaoyu but she wasn't there, so she was treated as absent from work."
Wan Qing hadn't expected it to be so serious, so he smiled again and said, "Don't cry, Xiaoyu, I'll give you your salary for tonight, okay?"
"You are so arrogant! Do you think this is about money? The boss stipulates that you will be fired if you are absent from work twice. Don't you know that?" Xue Xiaowan stood in front of Xiaoyu, filled with righteous indignation.
Wan Qing was annoyed when he saw Xue Xiaowan, and his tone became bad. "Isn't it just this once? Besides, I've already paid her the salary. What else do you want? At worst, I can go to the boss and tell him that it's my fault. Are you satisfied with that?"
"Who are you to the boss? You're looking for the boss. That's funny." Xue Xiaowan sneered and exchanged glances with Gu Manzhen.
"What do you mean?" Wan Qing narrowed his eyes.
"What do I mean? I just want to ask who you are to the boss? Why are you asking something you shouldn't ask? Is it a shameful relationship?" Xue Xiaowan is shorter than Wan Qing, but her aura is no less. At this moment, she holds her neck high, stares with her eyes, and has a contemptuous smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Fuck you! You stinky bitch!" Wan Qing slapped Xue Xiaowan in the face with all his strength, sending her falling over. Xue Xiaowan refused to show weakness and got up and grabbed Wan Qing's hair. Gu Manzhen also helped Xue Xiaowan and scratched Wan Qing a few times. For a moment, Wan Qing was no match for four hands with his two fists and screamed in pain.
Xiaoyu was frightened and ran out to call for help.
Qin Chen and the lobby manager rushed over after hearing the news. The man was very strong and separated the three women. Because the fight happened at the door of the private room, not many diners saw it. Qin Chen apologized to each private room one by one and gave a 20% discount to each room. Wan Qing and the others were taken to Qin Chen's office to wait for processing.
Wan Qing's neck was scratched by Gu Manzhen until it bled, and Xue Xiaowan had pulled her hair loose. Xue Xiaowan was even worse off than Wan Qing. Her cheeks were swollen and she probably wouldn't be able to see anyone for three days. Gu Manzhen was fine, only having her nose scratched a little.
The three of them stood in a row in Qin Chen's office with their arms folded.
