Mrs. Zhou, I wasn't used to that name, so I quickly said, "Actually, we're about to..."
The word divorce could not be uttered.
Because Zhou Chenyan's arm around my waist suddenly tightened, almost strangling me.
Mr. Zhang didn't know about the turmoil we were having privately, so he said with a smile, "I'll treat you two to a meal some other day when I have time."
I could only laugh dryly.
As soon as the meeting ended and I walked out of the banquet hall, I immediately shook off Zhou Chenyan and walked to the car but couldn't open the door.
He walked over slowly and waved his car keys.
The car door opened.
I got into the back seat. We were halfway up the mountain. It was almost ten o'clock and there was no car around. If I didn't take his car, I wouldn't be able to get home.
"It was a good performance tonight."
It's rare that he actually praised me.
But when I think about why I came here today, I can't be happy at all.
"If your sweetheart hadn't made a mistake with the blueprint, I wouldn't have had to come all the way here to explain to Mr. Zhang."
He stopped talking.
After a long while, I was almost falling asleep leaning against the car window.
He suddenly said, "You have succeeded in establishing your position today. What reward do you want?"
Are you sure what you gave me is a reward?
I declined, "Thank you, but that's not necessary."
"Mu Yan, you have changed."
His words made me feel a little funny. He said that the prerequisite for a person to change is that you once understood this person deeply.
"What was I like before?"
"Submit to what is best for you, swallow your anger, be unrequited love, and be despised by others."
With every word I said, his face grew colder.
The night outside the window is deep, and the crescent moon hangs high in the sky. You can see it with your eyes, but you can never touch it.
Just like the person in front of you, he is always an illusion.
"Zhou Chenyan, don't act like you know me so well."
"If I didn't know you, would I marry you?" He had a different opinion on this point. "I admit that I had some misunderstandings about your abilities before. Since you like to stay in the company, then stay, but..."
I waited quietly for his next words.
"But don't bother Gardenia. Just do your job well and I won't treat you unfairly."
"Just take care of your little lover."
I don't look for trouble, but trouble will come to me.
I didn't want to talk to him anymore, so I looked out the window and closed my eyes.
The car finally quieted down.
…
Mr. Zhang was very efficient. He contacted the company manager Cui Lu the next day. I don’t know what they talked about, but as soon as I arrived at the company, Cui Lu singled me out for praise.
My colleagues applauded me.
Zhou Zhizi in the corner looked at me expressionlessly. When she saw me looking over, a smile appeared on her face.
"Congratulations, Sister Yanyan."
As soon as she opened her mouth, the atmosphere froze for a moment.
Finally, Cui Lu broke the silence. "No need to work overtime tonight, let's go to the dinner party! It's my treat!"
"Wow! Long live the Director!"
“Dinners, dinners, I love dinners!”
"Boss, can we drink tonight? Can we have some fun?"
Everyone stared eagerly, like hungry children waiting to be fed.
Cui Lu nodded, "Okay, everyone have fun tonight, but we've had enough fun today, we still have to work hard tomorrow!"
She preached as usual, which in the past would always cause people to complain.
But everyone was happy today, so it all went in one ear and out the other.
I went home and changed my clothes in the evening.
I took off my high heels, put on some white sneakers, and walked to the club with a leisurely pace.
Most of the people in the department have arrived and are chatting and laughing.
Cui Lu was there too. She had changed out of her restrictive work clothes and was dressed very casually.
Cancan pulled me to sit down and said, "Everyone is ordering food, what do you want to eat?"
I took a look and found that they had already ordered a lot, so I just ordered two dishes at random.
I heard the sound of the box door being pushed open and subconsciously took a look.
This glance made me pause.
Zhou Zhizi came, with a tall and straight figure following beside her.
Zhou Chenyan's arrival was like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing the passionate fire, and the warm atmosphere stagnated for a moment.
Everyone stood there obediently like primary school students being called.
Zhou Chenyan probably also realized that he was not popular. "Don't be shy, I'm just here to join in the fun. You guys continue."
With these words, everyone dared to let go.
But looking around, there was no place for people to sit around, only two seats next to me, and I saw Zhou Chenyan looking at me.
I immediately pulled Cancan and Cui Lu to sit down.
I could feel a gaze that could not be ignored falling on my head, as sharp as if it wanted to drill a hole in my head.
Finally, Zhou Zhizi took Zhou Chenyan to sit on Cancan's left.
As soon as they came over, before they even opened their mouths, their colleagues tactfully gave up their seats.
I'm a little unhappy about this.
But fortunately, there is Cancan standing in the middle.
The dishes came up quickly, and Zhou Chenyan took good care of Zhou Zhizi.
Taking care of her seemed to become his instinct, and it came naturally to him.
I scalded my chopsticks with hot water, untied the bowl and dishes, and chose orange juice between the two on the table without hesitation.
Zhou Zhizi also looked as if she was used to it.
After drinking a little, someone got bolder and asked, "Mr. Zhou, are you and Zhizi dating?"
"Of course he is. Looking at how thoughtful Mr. Zhou is at taking care of others, he's truly a truly caring and considerate boyfriend."
"Gardenia is so outstanding, it's not surprising that President Zhou likes her."
"Mr. Zhou and Zhizi are such a perfect match. I wonder when they're getting married? Can we go to the wedding?"
