The next day, Chen Xu did not drive Yang Jinxia's car to the company, but took the bus. If he was seen by acquaintances, it would be difficult to explain.
As usual, he arrived at the company around 8:50, made himself a cup of hot tea, leaned back in his chair, listened to his colleagues' idle chatter, and waited for Liu Kun to arrive before starting today's regular meeting.
"It's Chinese New Year again." Dai Zixin next to him rocked his chair gently and said with emotion, "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, it's been half a year since I graduated. By the way, the annual meeting will be in a few days. I heard that the prizes at the annual meeting in previous years were very generous. Is that true?"
Chen Xu said, "It is indeed very generous. Last year's first prize was a laptop worth more than 20,000 yuan. However, ordinary employees like us have average luck."
"What do you mean?" Dai Zixin felt that there was something else behind his words.
"It's nothing." Chen Xu picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Mr. Luo."
Suddenly, a slightly excited voice sounded from the door. Chen Xu paused while drinking his tea, and suddenly turned his head to look at the entrance. A familiar figure came into his sight.
He was still wearing a black windbreaker, and when he walked, he seemed to be carrying the wind. As soon as he entered the door, the whole office suddenly became quiet.
"Hello, Mr. Luo." Colleagues stood up and greeted him, welcoming one of their immediate superiors.
"Hello, everyone." Luo Xiyun looked around and when she looked at Chen Xu, their eyes met. She was slightly startled, nodded imperceptibly, retracted her gaze, and walked towards the office.
Chen Xu saw that her face was ruddy and her eyes were bright, and she had obviously fully recovered. He immediately put aside the last bit of his worries. Half a month later, he could leave the company with peace of mind.
Sometimes, he would think that she might be like Yang Jinxia, influenced by the replica in the dream and have some feelings for him. If he took action, he might be able to pursue her.
Every time this thought came to his mind, he remembered what she said in his dream.
"His name is Du Feng. He is an executive at a technology company and has a PhD from MIT. His parents and my family are old acquaintances. He is 1.85 meters tall, very handsome, has a rich family, and is educated and capable. Everyone says he is the perfect match."
Then, he had no more thoughts.
In dreams, he can do whatever he wants, but in reality, there are too many things to worry about.
…………
“Is this your office?”
Liu Yumeng followed Luo Xiyun into the office and looked around.
She had just entered the company with Luo Xiyun, but no one noticed her.
Luo Xiyun put down the bag in her hand, took off her windbreaker, and said, "I told you, you don't have to come with me."
"I haven't been here since you arrived at your new department, and I've been wanting to come and see you for a long time. Why did you put a potted plant on your desk?" Liu Yumeng quickly noticed the plant on the desk and asked curiously, "Don't you hate dust?"
"Don't move." Seeing her reaching out to touch it, Luo Xiyun stopped her, took out the spray bottle, unscrewed the lid and took a look. He saw that the water inside was very clear, so it should have just been replaced. After screwing it back on, he sprayed some water on the plants.
Secretary Guo must have been taking care of it during the month she was away. It grew well, but there was no scaffolding and the leaves did not spread out.
Liu Yumeng looked at her skilled movements and said, "You have really changed."
"Take your seat, I have to work."
Luo Xiyun put the spray bottle back to its original place, sat down at her seat, and turned on her computer. She hadn't been to the company for a month, so she had to spend some time getting familiar with her work.
"Then ask your secretary to accompany me for a walk." Liu Yumeng stood up and went out to find Secretary Guo.
"Well, go ahead." Luo Xiyun ignored her.
Liu Yumeng left the office and went to find Secretary Guo, asking her to take her around the department.
"Who is that?" After walking around, Liu Yumeng asked casually.
Secretary Guo followed her gaze and said, "His name is Chen Xu, and he is mainly responsible for advertising matters."
Liu Yumeng remembered this name in her heart. Since entering the company, she has been observing Luo Xiyun, and she actually discovered some clues.
The way Luo Xiyun looked at this man was completely different from the way he looked at other employees.
However, no matter how you look at it, this man named Chen Xu is too ordinary. What on earth attracted Luo Xiyun?
She was curious, but had no intention of contacting Chen Xu.
As close friends, there are some taboos that must be avoided as much as possible. Luo Xiyun is a person who cannot tolerate any sand in her eyes.
Her curiosity wasn't that strong yet, so it was enough for her to have an idea in mind.
The purpose of her coming here this time was to see who the man was. Now that she had found a suspected target, she did not stay for long. She went back to the office, said goodbye to Luo Xiyun, and left.
…………
Chen Xu finally collected all the materials for each store and handed them over to Secretary Guo. He no longer had to run around outside all day. He just had to communicate with the advertising company every now and then.
In addition, he usually stays in the company to check the finished products submitted by the advertising company, carefully checking for errors and the like.
He often opens his computer and sits there all day. He occasionally slacks off or something. Compared to other people, he is quite leisurely.
He is about to resign, and he can complete his job on time, so it's no big deal if he's lazy once in a while.
In the afternoon, before leaving get off work, he knocked on Luo Xiyun's office door.
"Come in." He pushed the door open and walked in after hearing her voice from inside.
Luo Xiyun was flipping through a document. When he looked up and saw it was him, he stopped what he was doing, closed the document, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Chen Xu's gaze stayed on the potted plant on the table for a second. The plant had already grown up and he could tell at a glance that it was indeed a tomato.
This is probably also influenced by the memory fragments of the replica in the dream.
He guessed in his mind, looked away, and said, "I want to talk about resigning."
"Please sit down." Her words were as concise as always.
Chen Xu sat on the chair in front of her and said, "I want to leave on the 10th of next month. Can you arrange for someone to take over my work?"
Luo Xiyun didn't look at him. His eyes were fixed on the young sprouts of tomatoes. He said, "I'll arrange it. Just follow the process."
"Okay, I'll go out first." Chen Xu said, then stood up and left.
Bang, the door closed gently.
Luo Xiyun reached out his hand, gently touched the top green leaf of the tomato seedling, and sighed softly.
This month of recuperation helped her figure out a lot of things. In the last week, Liu Yumeng accompanied her on a trip abroad to relax, and her mind seemed to have become more open. Her sleep has improved a lot. She can finally sleep well.
Life must go on, it's just a dream, it's time to say goodbye to it.
Just treat this strange dream as a wonderful experience in life.
She thought so, but when she thought about him leaving, her heart seemed to be seized by something, and she felt a little breathless. A thought became stronger and stronger, "If I ask him to stay, will he stay?"
PS: I finally recommended it. I feel like I have entered a new stage. Please give me some votes for recommendation.
