Chapter 357 I Really Did a Good Thing
In the office building of the Cultural Association, Zhang Guangnian watched the setting sun and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Anyway, the matter has finally come to an end.
Regardless of whether these authors and editors who went to inspect and study produced a good work, his event was organized successfully.
After all, those who went this time are all elite soldiers and the possibility of producing good works is very high.
What's more, there is the quick-witted Cheng Xuyuan! This guy didn't want to go at first, but in the end, after his own persuasion, he still went.
I believe he will be touched after he goes there.
“Boom boom boom!”
A gentle knock on the door broke Zhang Guangnian's thoughts. He said "come in", and saw Old Chen from the office walk in with a young girl.
He knew this girl, she was a college student who had just transferred here this year.
But at this time the little girl had a sullen face, as if she had done something wrong.
"What's wrong?" Seeing the looks of the two people, Zhang Guangnian asked with a smile.
In his opinion, basically nothing serious can happen in their unit.
Even if there are mistakes, they are basically within the controllable range.
Looking at the smiling Zhang Guangnian, Lao Chen said to the girl, "Xiao Li, please report to the leader!"
The girl called Xiao Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Leader, I...I..."
"Take your time, don't be anxious. What big mistake can there be?" Zhang Guangnian waved his hand at Xiao Li and gently soothed him, "Sit down and talk."
Old Chen looked at Zhang Guangnian who looked calm and composed, and suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, Xiao Li is in charge of the invoices. He put them in the same compartment for Cheng Xuyuan and Shen Yumo."
"Also, the two writers who were in the same carriage with them had to delay their departure for two days due to other reasons. So, at the moment, there were only two of them in that carriage."
Zhang Guangnian's eyes suddenly widened.
He looked at Xiao Li with a little disbelief, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Xiao Li said with a hint of grievance: "Boss, when I was issuing the invoice, I found that their information stated that they were both spouses."
"I... I thought that it would be more appropriate for a couple on a business trip to stay in the same carriage so that they could take care of each other, so I kindly gave them two tickets for the same carriage."
“I thought I had done a good thing.”
"I... I don't know the specific situation, and I haven't thought about anything else..."
Zhang Guangnian glanced at the dim sky and couldn't help smacking his lips and asked, "Is it too late to change the ticket now?"
Old Chen didn't say anything, but his expression told Zhang Guangnian that your proposal was actually nonsense.
If it could be changed, why would I rush over to see you in such a hurry?
"Leader, what Xiao Li did was indeed inappropriate, but her starting point and end point were both good, and she did it unintentionally. She had just been transferred here not long ago, and she had no idea that the two of them were getting a divorce!"
Although Lao Chen was also very upset about this matter, Xiao Li was his subordinate after all.
In this matter, he still has to help Xiao Li. As a department head, leadership and execution are far from enough. Sometimes, the necessary protectiveness is still necessary.
Zhang Guangnian's hand trembled. He now felt that this matter was tricky enough.
What will Cheng Xuyuan think next?
besides……
But, it can't be undone now.
So in the end he coughed and said, "Since this is the case, let it be."
"They are a couple, so it's normal for them to be assigned to the same carriage."
"After all, they're not completely divorced yet!"
"As for the rest, we'll talk about it later."
After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Li and said, "Xiao Li, go back and work hard. It's okay. This is just an unintentional mistake on your part."
Xiao Li looked at Zhang Guangnian with a hint of gratitude, then said goodbye and left.
But after Xiao Li left, Zhang Guangnian glared at Director Chen and said, "Look at you, you can make such a big mess out of such a small matter!"
"Xiao Li is a new comrade, so it's understandable that she doesn't know. But you, don't you know what's going on?"
"You...you are going to piss me off to death!"
Facing Zhang Guangnian's somewhat ugly expression, Lao Chen said aggrievedly: "Leader, this is all my fault."
"I was really negligent."
"Who... who could have thought that Xiao Li was so careful at work that he actually looked at the detailed information of two people and acted on his own initiative..."
Old Chen also felt very uncomfortable. After all, he could never have imagined such an accident.
Looking at Lao Chen's expression, Zhang Guangnian waved his hand and said, "Alright, these are no longer important."
"Let's think about it carefully. How should we explain Cheng Xuyuan's return?"
When Old Chen heard this, he thought, besides Cheng Xuyuan, shouldn't he explain to Shen Yumo?
But although he kept this sentence in his heart, he dared not say it out loud.
"Bang, bang!"
Cheng Xuyuan didn't know what Zhang Guangnian was thinking at the moment. After he found out that he and Shen Yumo were in the same compartment, besides thinking it was a real coincidence, he chatted with them for a few minutes and then waited for other passengers.
There are four bedrooms in one box, and there will be two more people coming later.
If there are too many people, the awkwardness will disappear without a trace.
However, although Cheng Xuyuan had a good idea, he did not find anyone else until the train started.
Lying on the bed, all kinds of thoughts flashed through Cheng Xuyuan's mind.
It's not like he hasn't had contact with Shen Yumo since his rebirth, but this is the first time that the two of them are alone in such a small box.
Was this an accident, or was it intentional?
Just as all kinds of thoughts were churning in Cheng Xuyuan's mind, he found Shen Yumo sitting upright on the bed, looking out the window.
Looking at Shen Yumo's expression, Cheng Xuyuan felt that Shen Yumo was a little nervous.
In fact, Cheng Xuyuan's feeling is not wrong at all.
Shen Yumo was a little nervous.
At this moment, she was very nervous.
After all, she was a woman, and this was the first time she was alone with Cheng Xuyuan.
After all, the two had already made an agreement before getting married, so on the wedding night, they lived separately.
Not together at all.
Strictly speaking, this was the first time the two of them were alone together.
Just now, she was also looking forward to the third and fourth passengers showing up, so that with more people, she and Cheng Xuyuan would not be in the current awkward situation.
But unfortunately, not only did the fourth person not show up, but the third person was nowhere to be seen either.
This made her feel like she didn't know what to do.
Change seats? But who should she ask? She didn't know most of the people on the bus.
Each thought made her head feel a little buzzing.
"You must be tired sitting like this. Why don't you lie down and take a rest?" Cheng Xuyuan's voice suddenly came.
Hearing this voice, Shen Yumo's body stiffened for a moment, then he used his hand to smooth the hair on his forehead and said, "I... I'll be fine after sitting for a while."
Cheng Xuyuan did not force Shen Yumo to do so.
He casually asked, "Why are you participating in this event? Shouldn't gay men come out?"
Hearing this, Shen Yumo, who was a little embarrassed at first, suddenly asked back with a bit of dissatisfaction: "Is it not okay for me to participate in this event?"
"I think it's good."
"We female editors are not necessarily worse than you."
Cheng Xuyuan had never thought that his casual words would cause Shen Yumo to react so strongly. He smiled with a hint of self-mockery and said, "I'm not saying that you can't do it, but it's more convenient for gay men to participate in such activities."
"After all, this trip will take several thousand miles."
Shen Yumo hesitated for a moment before saying, "Originally, it was decided that Lao Li would participate in this interview and study session, but something happened to Lao Li's family yesterday, and we couldn't find him for a while."
"Editor Zou wanted to come herself, but she hasn't been feeling well these past two days, so I volunteered to come."
Cheng Xuyuan listened to this explanation and said casually: "Didn't you have De Ning for this kind of thing in the past?"
"We can't rely on Dening to do everything alone." Shen Yumo glanced at Cheng Xuyuan and said, "I am also a member of the magazine, okay?"
Looking at Shen Yumo's serious expression, Cheng Xuyuan was a little at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer.
The train roared and the sky gradually darkened.
The broadcast in the train has begun to announce today's meals. Cheng Xuyuan touched his stomach and felt a little hungry, so he prepared to go to the dining car to eat.
He glanced at Shen Yumo and said, "I'm a little hungry. I'm going to eat. Want to go together?"
Although she was already my ex-wife, living in the same carriage with her and not saying a word during meals would seem a bit too distant.
Cheng Xuyuan didn't hate Shen Yumo. He positioned himself and Shen Yumo as still friends in the future.
In this case, I can't just ignore her.
After hearing Cheng Xuyuan's invitation, Shen Yumo hesitated for a moment and said, "I ate a lot at noon today, so I don't want to go to the dining car to eat. You go."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Shen Yumo who was still sitting on the lower bunk, and said after a moment's hesitation: "If we don't eat now, the next meal provided by the dining car will be tomorrow morning."
"Besides, the Cultural Association is subsidizing our event, so it would be a waste if we don't eat it."
Facing Cheng Xuyuan's invitation again, Shen Yumo waved his hand and said, "I... I'm really not hungry."
Well, since you're not hungry, I'll have to go eat it myself.
"Then I'm going to eat. Please keep an eye on my luggage for me." As Cheng Xuyuan spoke, he got off the bed and walked towards the dining car.
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan leaving, Shen Yumo, whose body was a little stiff from maintaining the same posture for a long time, finally relaxed.
She looked at the empty upper bunk, all kinds of thoughts swirling in her mind.
Originally, she thought that she could treat Cheng Xuyuan with a calm attitude, but the contact just now made her realize that when she met him, she seemed to have lost her previous composure.
She had to admit that she felt mixed emotions when facing Cheng Xuyuan.
Why is this? Is it because of the small space, or because...
One thought after another kept churning in Shen Yumo's mind. After an unknown amount of time, the sky outside began to dim, and the red sunset, along with the clouds, disappeared outside the car window.
It was getting dark! Shen Yumo spread out the quilt and lay down on the berth.
It would take more than a day and a night to get from the starting point to the destination, which meant that he and I would have to travel five thousand miles in this carriage.
I hope someone gets on the bus halfway.
Just when Shen Yumo was thinking wildly, the door of the carriage was pushed open. She looked up and saw Cheng Xuyuan walking in.
"Today's meal is pretty good. It's stir-fried pork with hot peppers. The taste is amazing. You should try some too." As Cheng Xuyuan spoke, he placed a lunch box in front of Shen Yumo.
Today's first update, please support me.
