Chapter 26

This kind of banquet is actually quite boring. The bosses gathered together to chat, and a lackey like him just stayed in the corner. However, the friendly company was very generous and invited several stars and dance troupes to perform. During the banquet, it was not so boring to eat and enjoy the singing and dancing.

The bosses sat at the main table. Roger did not dare to be too far away from the president. He sat at a table behind him. When he ate, his eyes were glued to the president, for fear that he would get angry again if he could not find him later.

After dinner, there was a dance party. The friendly company booked the entire villa suite for the guests to have fun inside.

The president was chatting with familiar friends. At first, there were only one or two people, but more and more people came in the back. The president was surrounded in the innermost and almost could not even see his shadow. After staying for a while, Luo Jie felt that the room was too stuffy, so he put down his glass and sat in the yard.

It was completely dark. November in Yangcheng was actually the middle of winter, and he had to wear a cotton jacket to suppress the chill. Strangely, Luo Jie didn't feel cold at all. Perhaps his heart was already chilled.

This scene reminded him of the time when he first met Youyou. It was also an evening of drinking and singing and dancing. It was summer, and the female guests were all wearing gorgeous dresses. Youyou was the most beautiful among them.

Alas, the scene made him sad, and Luo Jie sat in the yard drinking gloomily.

He didn't know how long it had been, but he felt someone sitting down opposite him. He looked up and saw that it was the president.

The president held a glass of wine and said unhappily, "Why are you running around again?"

Roger was not in the mood to be a perfect secretary at this moment, and said sullenly, "I have a headache, so I came out to get some fresh air." "You're drinking

when you have a headache?" The president stared at the glass in his hand.

"That's why I drink when I have a headache." It will be fine after I get drunk.

"Why?" The president shook the glass in his hand gently, "Broken heart?"

"Yeah." Roger was sad at the moment, and he didn't care whether he was despised or not. It was a broken heart, so what? No one stipulated that you can't be sad about a broken heart, "Why didn't I know that a broken heart was so sad before, it's like the whole person was drained."

The president paused and made a sharp comment, "It will be fine if you lose a few more times."

Listen, does this person look like he has a heart? Luo Jie looked at him angrily, "It's easy to talk when you're standing. I've been dating for three years. Normal people get married after dating for one or two years. My case is no different from a divorce. Of course I'll be sad for a while."

"Haha." The president probably thought that other people's emotional pain had nothing to do with him, and said ruthlessly with a sullen face, "Whatever you want. Don't let it affect your work."

"...Haha." You ate a whole refrigerator last night, right? You can actually say such cold words. Yes, the president's mouth is like an iceberg in Antarctica. Don't expect it to melt one day. I really don't know if he has the same attitude towards his girlfriend, oh no, boyfriend.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Luo Jie shook his shoulders.

The president played with the lighter in his hand (I don't know where it came from), and finally said something sensible: "Wear more when it's cold."

Don't you dress like that too. Luo Jie complained in his heart and said listlessly: "It's okay, I'm not cold."

The president snorted coldly and took back his just-good-natured attitude: "You deserve to be frozen to death."

... If I freeze to death here, it will be considered a work injury. You have to pay for it, you know? You are the president of a company, and you don't even know this common sense. Luo Jie thought depressedly.

The waiter came over and asked them if they wanted a cocktail. It happened that Luo Jie felt that the glass in his hand was too bitter, so he said: "Give me a glass." The

sweet cocktail diluted the bitterness in his heart, and the president also liked it. Luo Jie couldn't help but want to chat with the dear president.

"What about you, did you break up with the last one?" Luo Jie asked shyly. The CEO's boyfriend is quite mysterious. Even Roger has never met him, and he can't be 100% sure whether they are dating. If they are really dating, then it hasn't been long, and it seems that they haven't gone out on many dates. It seems that the two of them are more like an online romance? What's the point? I really can't imagine the CEO's appearance of having a romance on his phone. Is he calling someone "baby" on the phone, but his face is as stinky as a debt collector? No, you can't think about this matter too much, it's too scary.

But when the CEO heard this question, his face immediately fell: "What does it have to do with you?"

- Look, this attitude again. So your feelings are so shameful, right? Roger wanted to defend himself with the CEO, but after thinking carefully, it seemed that his own feelings were also shameful... Then what qualifications does he have to criticize others?

Roger took a sip of wine, and his voice became even more muffled: "Why do you think people's hearts are so complicated? Why can't you tell the truth at the beginning?" This foolish man suffered so much from his love that he would never believe in love again.

"You were deceived?"

If it weren't for the president, he would have discovered the truth by accident.

For a moment, Roger wanted to tell his experience of being deceived by Youyou, but - because he knew the president's nature too well, he knew that once this matter was exposed, he would be ridiculed and even attacked personally. Then he would be nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of his life, and the president would make fun of him for the rest of his life. Roger avoided the president's gaze and said in a low voice, sadly and aggrievedly: "Why can't people be more honest with each other? If everyone tells the truth, there won't be so many tragic stories in the world."

The president drank the whiskey he brought with him and chuckled: "Is honesty a virtue?"

"Of course." Roger stared, wondering if the president lied every day, "At least I'm a person who doesn't lie."

The president smiled - this smile scared Roger. My God, is the earth going to explode soon? It's a miracle that he can still see the president's smile.

"You won't lie?" The president snorted coldly and put down the wine glass. The heavy wall of the glass knocked on the table, making a "click" sound. "I see you lie every day."

"How could I?" Roger was stunned for a moment, feeling wronged. "I am very honest, okay? When did I lie to you?"

The president asked with his soul: "Did you cry again last night?"

Damn. Is this also considered lying? Roger felt that his mask as a strong man was ruthlessly torn apart, "Are you polite? Can this be considered a lie? This is called, respectability!" Roger finally found the right words and worried for himself, "Everyone has moments of weakness. I can't just tell everyone I cry. Would a normal man publicize his misfortune everywhere?"

"You cry for a breakup, and cry every day. You are

such a loser." The president said it as if a failed love relationship was not worth mentioning. Yes, he is the president, and work is the priority, but he can't laugh at other people's love. Just because he doesn't have it, he thinks other people's love is not worth existing?

"...You are promising, okay."

He said that he absolutely could not sit down and chat with the president, which was simply asking for trouble. Furious, Roger picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The cold wine slid down his throat into his stomach, and the spiciness made him shiver all over.

After drinking the wine, Roger had more courage. He looked at He Songgao and said, "Don't bully me all the time just because you are the president. If I can't stand your bullying one day, I will resign and you can find someone else to be your secretary."

The president did not regard this brave declaration as a threat at all, or in his mind, the position of secretary was not important and anyone could do it, so he just raised the corners of his mouth, showing a smile that was not really a smile, and said, "You are welcome anytime."

Roger was furious. He must be crazy to be so loyal to such an indifferent person. There is no point in talking any further. He swore in his heart once again: If he talks to this person about anything other than work again, he will be a pig, a hopeless big stupid pig!

Roger was so angry that he poured himself red wine with a cocktail glass. Before he even touched the bottle, the president took the wine away: "Don't drink it. Let's go."

He felt cold only after he walked out of the villa. Roger couldn't stop shivering in the cool night breeze. Lao Chen was driving on the way here. It was difficult to park in the villa area, so the president asked him to wait at the hotel gate.

Roger's teeth were chattering from the cold. If he had known, he would not have tried to be cool and put on a warm underwear under his shirt. He was almost frozen to death.

In order to relieve the bone-chilling cold, he moved away from the president and jumped on the ground like a rabbit.

The president stopped and looked at him like a fool: "What are you doing?"

Roger jumped a few times and was forced to stop: "I'm keeping warm! You go your way, I'll catch up with you later."

The president looked like "you are hopelessly stupid" and started to take off his coat.

Roger was stunned: "No need...right."

The president took off his coat with a cold face, but he didn't put the coat on the heroine (?) like the president in the domineering president drama, but threw the coat to Roger. If Roger hadn't caught it with his hands, the president's priceless coat might have come into close contact with the floor.

"...Thank you." Roger said in a low voice, and then put on the president's coat.

Of course, the president's coat smells like the president. He is very familiar with this slightly bitter perfume. He will be energetic even if he smells it from a hundred miles away.

In order to make himself warmer, Roger buttoned up all the buttons after putting it on. The president's coat is probably two sizes larger than his. Roger looks like he is wearing an oversized vintage coat. It would be fine if he didn't button it, but it looks particularly large when he buttoned it. He has lost weight recently, and the coat is empty, as if he is wearing a sack.

The president couldn't bear to look at it, and took a few steps away from him.

Ha, you still abandon me, and I don't even think it's unlucky to wear your clothes.

As a straight man, Roger was deeply resistant to this somewhat ambiguous behavior. Just holding the president's clothes was too hot, so how could he wear them?

- But today was a special case, so he should forget about it, otherwise he might really be frozen to death in the winter with temperatures of more than ten degrees below zero.

Roger looked at the president's back. This guy had well-developed muscles, and he probably wouldn't feel cold even if he was only wearing a shirt. He didn't know where he got the energy to survive the winter - maybe he would feel cold, but he could endure the cold, just like he could endure loneliness.

As the president's personal secretary, he knows the president's friendship situation too well. This guy seems to have no friends and rarely even goes home. He has two older brothers. Sometimes the eldest brother will come to the company to see him, but he is also cold to his family and doesn't care. Roger saw with his own eyes that the president's eldest brother followed him around and asked about his well-being, and the president said impatiently: "If you have nothing to do, go back quickly." The president's eldest brother may feel embarrassed to be bullied by his younger brother in front of outsiders, so he scolded him with a cold face. As a result, the president got angry and closed the door as soon as he entered the office. The president's eldest brother was locked outside the door and was stunned for a long time before leaving in a huff.

So there is a reason why this guy has no friends - sometimes don't always dislike others, look for the reason from yourself. Roger thought angrily.
