Chapter 6

Roger's mood was always up and down, because he was deeply hurt by Youyou. He felt uncomfortable and aggrieved when he thought of her, and he had the urge to cry.

Sometimes he really wanted to be like the song says, it's not a sin for a man to cry, it's okay to cry, and it's not shameful - no, no, it's still very shameful, especially after being deceived by Youyou so perfunctorily for three years. He was really blinded by the pig fat. What personality, what depression, bipolar disorder and other diseases, they were just deceiving him, arousing his sympathy, and giving her an excuse to meet with her lover!

Roger thought angrily, if he has bad character, he has bad character, why use mental illness as an excuse? He has been mentally ill for eight lifetimes and let you hateful homosexuals use him as a scapegoat to deceive those ignorant idiots!

He was just about to raise his anger to all homosexuals, and He Songgao just happened to hit him: "Book a flight to Hai City, tonight at 8 o'clock."

Roger still had a tear in the corner of his eye, and said without thinking: "I'm on vacation."

However, the president didn't care about these, the president only gave orders.

Roger felt regretful after he finished speaking, no matter who he offended, he couldn't offend his boss. Didn't he want to get married? He was still counting on him to promote him to a senior executive. However, it was too late to withdraw the order. Luo Jie quickly booked the ticket on the booking software, took a screenshot and sent it to He Songgao, saying flatteringly: "I can't delay my work even if I take a vacation. President He, I will send you the itinerary in your email later, remember to check it."

"Oh." He Songgao said quickly.

Really, when will the president's selective blindness be cured?

Luo Jie lay back in bed and let out a long sigh.

Today was a cloudy day, it had rained, and the air was humid. Luo Jie got up and moved around for a while, ate lunch, and then lay in bed to browse his phone.

Lulu asked for help in the group, saying that she had ordered a low-fat roast beef business set meal for the president at noon, with shrimp, egg shreds, stir-fried lettuce and mushrooms and broccoli as side dishes, and a bitter melon, white clam and a little pork tripe as the soup, which was especially good for reducing internal heat, but why didn't the president even eat a bite?

Lulu said aggrievedly: "I have carefully read the food taboos you wrote for the president, why did he still step on the thunder?"

Roger knew as soon as he saw the order receipt Lulu sent, this restaurant is not compatible with the president!

"Lulu, I forgot to tell you that President He had diarrhea after eating the set meal from this restaurant before, and he had to go to the hospital to stop the diarrhea... Don't mention how pitiful he was. It was the first time I saw the president's face so green and his breathing so weak. I said I would carry him downstairs, but he refused. I guess he was afraid of affecting the great image in everyone's mind. Anyway, he never ate the food from this restaurant again. You know what PTSD is."

Lulu exclaimed: "Didn't President He blame you?"

"It's not my fault. I never had diarrhea after eating this before, but he got it as soon as he ate it. Maybe the chef didn't wash his hands when he cooked that day. It's terrible. Don't order from him in the future."

"Then what should we do? President He didn't seem to have eaten anything in the morning. If he doesn't eat at noon, he will get a stomachache!"

"You can prepare food for him in the cafeteria." Roger typed slowly, tiptoeing, "It's okay to eat in the cafeteria occasionally. He usually works out and is more particular about carbohydrates and calories. You can prepare some oil-free boiled food for him, and it will be fine for a meal."

Lulu hesitated a little: "Is this okay?"

"Why not? Believe me, he won't be picky."

Lulu did as she was told, and finally happily tagged Roger in the group: "He ate it, he ate it. President He really ate it! Secretary Luo, you really understand him. I admire you so much!"

Humph, Roger thought proudly, after all, he has been a follower for so many years, and he doesn't have this little bit of knowledge. How did he get to where he is now?

It was not until five o'clock in the afternoon that Luo Jie realized that he had been working the whole time. To be more precise, he was remotely directing Lulu and Qinqin to work. The two girls were trembling with fear, fearing that He Songgao would come out of the office and scold them

. Although Luo Jie repeatedly assured them that he would not do so, they were still afraid and had to ask Luo Jie's opinion before doing anything. Anyway, it was almost time to get off work, so Luo Jie found an excuse to mute his phone and ignored them.

In winter, it gets dark early, and Luo Jie stared at the sunset outside the window in a daze.

He thought to himself, Youyou, Youyou, it's this woman again. Alas, who made her his first love? This blow was no small matter, and it directly shattered his confidence of nearly thirty years. He has been good-looking since he was a child. He has been close to girls since kindergarten. But maybe they are too close to him. Girls treat him as a brother and tell him everything, from food and play to study and family matters. Even those who have a crush on them share with him. Roger is very depressed. Is it because he is too enthusiastic and approachable? As the saying goes, the more you can't get, the more you want. Those women just get him too easily, so they can't fall in love with him!

But when he figured it out, it was too late. He missed the most likely period of love in high school and college, and it was difficult to find a partner who was compatible in all aspects.

Luo Jie is an English major. After graduation, there are very limited job opportunities. The best ones all go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce or other foreign-related institutions as civil servants. The rest are ordinary employees in various companies such as foreign companies, trade companies, training institutions, and financial companies, working as translators, teachers, clerks, and salesmen... In short, they are social animals.

Luo Jie did not enter Kaihua right after graduation. At that time, he went to a private middle school for an interview with his college classmates (he passed the teacher qualification exam in his junior year and got the certificate right after graduation). His classmates failed, but he passed. However, after working as a teacher for a month, he found that he hated this job very much, because teenagers are rebellious, and the students in private middle schools have very poor independent learning ability. Often when he was teaching, the students would make trouble below, which made Roger very angry several times. Moreover, they were all precocious. One time, Roger returned to the office and found a pink envelope lying on the table. He opened it and saw that it was a love letter, signed by a certain classmate in a certain class (with a series of love hearts added). Roger's face turned green on the spot, and he said, "Classmate, you are going to kill me!" He wrote a letter of resignation overnight and vowed that he would never be a teacher again in his life.

After resigning from school, Luo Jie was recruited by the society to work as a foreign trade clerk in Kaihua's International Trade Department. It was also there that he met He Songgao and the two became friends.

Kaihua has a whole building in Yangcheng CBD. The International Trade Department is on the 23rd floor and is the department with the most female colleagues in the entire company. Luo Jie liked this place on the first day he came. Looking around, almost all of them were ladies, and there were very few men. He was handsome and sweet-talking, and soon gained several close friends (all beautiful women). They took him to dinner, explained business to him, and taught him how to get big orders. Luo Jie coaxed them into a happy and smiling state, and the whole office was filled with laughter.

Just when he thought that this good life would continue until he found a gentle and lovely girlfriend and the two of them were in perfect harmony and moving forward hand in hand, He Songgao came.

He came with great fanfare that day. The Director General of Foreign Trade personally brought him in. Suddenly, a light lit up in the dim office (it was cloudy that day), and a very tall and handsome man appeared in front of everyone. The Director General clapped his hands and greeted everyone, saying in a rhythmic voice: "Come on, let me introduce you to this new colleague from our International Trade Department, Alvis! Everyone applaud and welcome him!"

Roger stood up with everyone else in a daze and applauded enthusiastically. Facing the light, he saw the face of the man named Alvis, who was a little too handsome. Suddenly, he had a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

As expected, the female colleagues around him were very excited, and their faces flushed and they exclaimed in low voices. One said "so handsome", and another said "so tall". What's more, some people discovered Alvis's sturdy figure through his straight suit, and fell on their companions and shouted: "The best! I dare to believe that he can lift a 100kg dumbbell!"

Hey, hey, hey, sister, please stop drooling! So elegant!

Roger didn't want to admit that he was jealous, but at that moment he was really sour, so sour that he couldn't even taste the vinegar.

What's even more unfortunate is that Alvis was arranged next to Roger. The director kindly told Roger: "You are all boys, you can chat well, so please take care of Alvis and help him get familiar with the environment."

Roger agreed on the surface, but he was actually very disdainful in his heart. He is so big, how can he not get familiar with the environment by himself?

He nodded to Alvis in a cold manner: "Hi, Roger. Take care of each other."

Alvis was even colder than him, just nodded, and didn't even introduce himself.

Since Alvis came, Roger felt that he was left out. The female colleagues who usually treated him as kindly as family members ignored him and turned to care about Alvis. From time to time, they would circle behind Alvis. Roger talked to them in a flattering way, but they just smiled perfunctorily, looking like they didn't care where to go.

Roger's nose was crooked with anger, a bunch of superficial women! Isn't an interesting soul more attractive than a handsome appearance! Alvis is handsome, but so arrogant. Have you ever seen him smile at any woman? No, so maybe he is a gay and not interested in women.

One day he was chatting with a female colleague named Kitty in the tea room. When they talked about Alvis, Kitty said she liked this type, handsome and cool, so manly, so safe, she liked it so much.

"I wonder if he has a girlfriend." Kitty looked shy while holding the teacup, which made Roger feel very uncomfortable.

He said, "That guy has such a bad temper, what do you like about him?"

"That's called having personality! If I'm nice to everyone, wouldn't that be like central air conditioning? Only if you're nice to your woman, you're a man among men!"

Looking at her like that, she must be fantasizing that Alvis is her boyfriend. Roger said sarcastically: "I think you'd better give up on this idea. He might be a gay."

Kitty gasped, thinking that Roger had received some gossip, and asked excitedly: "Is it true? No, such a handsome guy should not be given to those gay girls!"

Roger paused and said ambiguously: "Maybe, I'm just guessing."

Kitty rolled her eyes and looked at Roger suspiciously: "You guessed? Is there a basis for it?"

Roger said guiltily: "Look, he is so cold, and the same to you - so maybe."

"Roger, you are jealous. Jealous that Alvis is better than you?" Kitty said idly, having seen through Roger's little thoughts.

"How is that possible! He has his strengths and I have mine, how could I be jealous of him!"

This sentence didn't sound convincing.

Kitty said earnestly, "You are too naive, Roger. Have you ever thought about why a top student who graduated from Oxford wants to join the International Trade Department and start as a mere sales assistant? The director personally paved the way for him, praised his talent, and asked all of us, especially the team leaders, to take good care of him - what does this show? It shows that he has connections in the upper management. If you don't believe it, just wait and see. His promotion will be rocket-like. Maybe he is still an assistant today, and he will become the general manager tomorrow. So you should not regard him as an imaginary enemy, but you should unite with him. When he is promoted one day, you will naturally benefit from it. For a man, face is the most unimportant thing. Compared with the future, face is nothing."

Even if Roger was unwilling in his heart, he had to think that Kitty was right. Besides

, he doesn't want others to think that he is petty and jealous.
