Chapter 134 Character
A few days later, I went to the company and saw Lin Yan frowning and looking impatient.
"What's going on?" I asked as I leaned over.
"That guy Lao Wang," he rubbed his temples, "hasn't been seen since this morning, and I can't get through on the phone."
"Overslept?"
"I went to his dormitory and knocked on the door, but there was no one there."
"Huh? Has he ever done this before?"
"Does he dare?" Lin Yan snorted. "I threatened him before that if he was absent from work without reason, his salary would be deducted for one month... although it was just a joke. But now I can't contact him, and I'm worried that something might happen to him."
I thought so too. Lao Wang only has a few of us as friends in this city, and he has nowhere else to go except the company dormitory.
We were both a little anxious and made many phone calls. Finally, the call got through. There was a lot of noise on the other end and Lao Wang was obviously drunk and couldn't even speak straight.
Based on his understanding of Lao Wang - stingy and with a small range of activities - Lin Yan locked onto an affordable bar near the company, drove over, and sure enough, he found Lao Wang drunk and unconscious in the corner.
The two of us dragged him into the car with great effort, and without disturbing other colleagues, we took him directly back to our home.
The next day, Lao Wang woke up and looked at the ceiling and the unfamiliar and tidy environment. He was so scared that he almost rolled off the bed and rushed out in a hurry.
Lin Yan just came out of the kitchen carrying some hangover soup and glanced at him: "Where are you in such a hurry to go? Are you afraid of being caught absent from work by your boss and feeling guilty?"
"Oh my god! Brother Lin! It's you! I was scared to death!" Old Wang immediately breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the sofa.
I lazily added, "What? I thought some rich female boss picked him up and took him home?"
"Hey, Brother Rui, please stop making fun of me," Lao Wang said with a bitter face, "How could I have that ability? I'm just afraid of being picked up by a gay man..."
As he spoke, he subconsciously touched his butt.
Lin Yan glared at him unhappily.
Lao Wang finally realized what was happening and quickly tried to make amends: "Oh, look at my brain! I forgot you two are gay!"
I:"……"
Thank you so much.
Lin Yan handed him the hangover soup and said, "Stop joking and explain yourself. What happened? You're so drunk that you look like this."
Lao Wang took the bowl and took a sip with a sigh: "Ah, this matter...it's a long story."
Old Wang hung his head and sighed as he finally explained the matter clearly.
The general meaning is that he felt that his relationship with that girl was probably over.
The reason was simply laughable - the girl initially mistakenly thought that "Rui Lin Technology" was founded by Lao Wang from scratch.
But the girl herself is also a very career-oriented person, and she admires Lao Wang, who (she thinks) is a "young and promising" person.
The two met during a project collaboration. Lao Wang was attracted by the girl's talent and straightforwardness, but his vanity, or inferiority complex, made him afraid that he was "not worthy" of her, so he went with the flow without explaining the misunderstanding clearly.
The girl didn't think much about it at the time and just believed it.
Later, when the girl went back to check, she found that the name of the company's legal person and boss was clearly Lin Yan's.
Now I felt cheated and asked him directly on WeChat why he lied.
Lao Wang is a guy who is usually very good at joking with us, but he becomes extremely cowardly when it comes to the critical moment.
When I saw the question, my first reaction was not to explain, but to adopt an ostrich mentality. I didn't dare to reply, and I ran to the bar to drown my sorrows in alcohol. Then Lin Yan and I went to the bar to "pick up corpses".
After hearing this, Lin Yan and I were both angry and amused.
Wang Qiang, Wang Qiang, you need to be sincere to pursue a girl. Why are you doing this nonsense? Aren't you just shooting yourself in the foot?
As the boss and buddy, Lin Yan couldn't stand it any longer and directly suggested: "What's the point of hiding? If you're a man, just tell the girl clearly! Whether it's an apology or an explanation, there must be an explanation!"
Lao Wang had a sad face, like a prisoner awaiting trial. He took out his mobile phone tremblingly, and sure enough, there were several unread messages and missed calls on the screen.
He held his finger above the screen for a long time before he began typing his reply with a fearless attitude.
Before I even finished typing, the other party’s voice call request popped up!
The cell phone rang sharply, scaring Lao Wang so much that his hand shook and the phone almost flew out.
"Answer it!" Lin Yan and I whispered almost in unison, our eyes flashing with excitement and delight - this plot is much more exciting than a TV drama!
Lao Wang took several deep breaths, as if he was going to the battlefield. Finally, with trembling fingers, he pressed the answer button and even subconsciously turned on the speakerphone.
A female voice came from the other side. The tone was unexpectedly calm, but the words uttered were sharp: "Are you finally willing to pay attention to me?"
"I... I'm sorry..." Lao Wang's voice was dry, hoarse and guilty after sobering up.
"Besides sorry, what else can you say?" The girl's tone was still calm, but pressing.
"I lied to you," Lao Wang said, speaking faster as if he had given up. "The company is not mine. It belongs to my good friend Lin Yan. I'm just working for him... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have used the company's name... to get close to you."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then the girl's voice sounded again, with a hint of indescribable meaning: "...So?"
"Ah?" Lao Wang didn't react. "So...so you should block me. I was wrong."
Lin Yan and I were staring at each other anxiously. What a fool! He had missed the point!
Sure enough, the girl's voice rose slightly, with obvious frustration. "Wang Qiang, Wang Qiang, I don't know what to say to you! Where was your confidence back then when you boasted? Didn't you tell me with such enthusiasm that you were going to develop the company into a business empire? Didn't you make those difficult partners obey you completely? Why is it that when you come to me, you don't even bother to give me a proper explanation? When something goes wrong, you just hide like a turtle and go get drunk?"
"But... things have come to this. I did lie to you. I'm not really a boss, so there's no need for you to waste your time with me." Lao Wang was still dwelling on his own shortcomings.
"You mean I'm attracted to your identity as the 'boss'? Wang Qiang, what do you take me for?" The girl's voice was filled with anger.
Lin Yan and I exchanged glances, our eyes colliding: There's hope! Definitely!
This girl clearly cares about Lao Wang's attitude! It's just that Lao Wang is too cowardly and stupid!
"Isn't it?" Lao Wang's voice was choked with a bit of despair, "My personality in front of you is all fake. I'm not a successful young talent at all, I'm just an ordinary person! How could I have achieved this level with my own efforts?" He was still belittling himself.
"How is it impossible?!" the girl said firmly. "Who negotiated those tough deals? Who was it that handled those older, shrewd CEOs with such ease, even finding time to complain to me about 'those old foxes'? Who was it that could solve problems logically and logically in unexpected situations, and even defuse awkward situations with humor? Wang Qiang, do you have some misunderstanding about yourself? You're just too insecure!"
Lao Wang was completely silent. He held the phone in his hand, opened his mouth, but could not make a sound.
The man who was usually smooth-talking and eloquent in front of us was now speechless after hearing the girl's string of words, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing.
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to sigh, and the tone softened, but with disappointment: "Forget it, since you don't value the relationship between us so much, and even think it is based on some illusory things, then there is nothing much for us to talk about."
"Don't!" Old Wang seemed to be suddenly awakened by these words. He jumped up and his voice changed. "I was wrong! I was really wrong! Where are you? I'm going to find you right now! I'll explain it to you face to face! Okay?"
"Don't come." The girl's voice was still cold.
"I was so wrong! Oh, I'm such an idiot! Such a dumb ass! I'm such a jerk! I'm such a jerk! I'm such a fool!"
Lao Wang apologized incoherently while frantically putting on his shoes and looking for his coat, anxious as an ant on a hot pan. "I really value our relationship! I really value it! Just trust me this once!"
Lin Yan and I looked at him, looking so flustered and eager to fly over immediately. We couldn't help but smile at each other and shook our heads.
This guy finally got it.
Lao Wang didn't even have time to say a word to us. He rushed out the door grabbing his phone and crawled downstairs. Before he hung up the phone, we could still vaguely hear his anxious assurances and apologies coming from the other end.
The room suddenly became quiet.
