my naughty female president

While I was eating, I secretly observed the changes in Annie's expression, and saw that she shifted her gaze to the phone screen again, her slightly frowned brows had obviously lost her previous interest, and she flicked the phone screen indiscriminately.

Annie finally spoke to me after I finished my meal, her tone softened slightly compared to before.

"Brother, tell me honestly, is there something you are hiding from me?"

I was a little puzzled, not knowing what Anne was referring to, so I replied, "No, what can I hide from you!"

"You still don't admit it?"

"Admit what?" I was a little surprised, did Annie already know that I owed Mu Xichun money?But even Li Liang didn't know about this matter, did Annie know that?

"I saw Brother Xiang Dong yesterday, and he told me everything about you!" Annie looked at me, motionless, as if trying to catch some information from my face.

My head suddenly grew bigger, and I let Annie know what I was afraid of, and I couldn't help but secretly scolded Xiang Dong for being so embarrassing. What I repeatedly explained was still shaken out by him, and I must not be used to seeing how uncomfortable I was. And because there is nothing to do.

"Annie, listen to me, I can really handle this matter, so I didn't tell everyone, I know you all want to help me, but I really can't rely on you for everything..."

"The way you deal with it is to live in a warehouse and work part-time at night? As a friend, how can I watch you suffer like this?" Annie had tears in her eyes in desperation.

"Annie, I'm not unwilling to accept your help. I know you will help me as long as I ask, but I really want to solve this matter by myself."

"You know my life has always been a mess. I just want to use this incident to prove that I can take responsibility for my actions. Annie, I beg you, can you just leave this matter alone?"

I sounded almost begging.

Annie frowned after hearing what I said. In fact, how could Annie not understand what I meant, just as I could understand her thoughts, she just didn't want me to suffer.

"Okay, I'm up to you, I don't care, but can you also promise me one thing?" Annie said after a while.

"What do you want me to promise you?"

"I promise you to ignore this matter, but this place can no longer be lived in. You can either rent a house now, or move to my house. If you find it inconvenient, you can also move to my studio. There Although it is an office building, the living facilities are complete, so you will have no problem living alone."

"..."

I bowed my head in silence and didn't speak for a while.

Annie stared at me who was silent and suddenly turned her head away, and gently wiped the corner of her eyes with her hand. I knew that my stubbornness finally made her tears flow, and I couldn't help feeling guilty.

Annie turned her face after a while, her eyes were still warm, and she spoke to me softly.

"Brother, I don't have to take care of your affairs to hurt your self-esteem, but I really can't bear to watch you suffer for something that I can completely help you solve, do you understand? This really makes me feel sorry for you do you know?"

Annie said as another line of tears slid out of the corner of her eyes.

I reached out and handed her a tissue, but she turned her head away and wiped away her tears with her hands.

I wanted to say something but I was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say.

Seeing that I was still silent, Annie looked down and packed the lunch box without even looking at me, turned and walked out.

I chased after a few steps and just wanted to say something like I will send you off, but I didn't say anything, so I thought about it and let it go.

I sat slumped on the chair, feeling very uncomfortable.In fact, Annie was wrong.

I don't want to accept her help not because of my self-esteem, but when you accept enough gifts from others, you can no longer continue to accept help from others with peace of mind, even if the person who helps you doesn't care.

I know very well in my heart that the money owed can be repaid, but you may never have the chance to repay anything other than money in your life.

Only I know what I owe Annie, and I know that I have already paid it off in this life, and I will never be able to accept her kindness no matter what.

All I look forward to is to have the opportunity to do something for Anne, but the reality always backfires. I don't even know how to live my own life, so how can I help others to relieve my psychological burden.

All I can do is to sigh to myself every time I think of what Annie has done for me these years: Annie, Annie, how should I face you for the rest of my life...

The next morning, the front desk of the company at work called and said that there was a lady who didn't have an appointment and wanted to see Mr. Mu. I asked who the front desk was and said they didn't know each other.

I refused without even thinking about it, and I didn't bother to inform Mu Xichun. Without an appointment, it probably wouldn't be a matter of work. I guess it was a media reporter or a tabloid writer, so let him hang around.

But the front desk said that the girl said that she must see Mr. Mu, otherwise she would wait at the front desk and said that there was something important.

I thought for a while and sighed, thinking that this person is really annoying, maybe there is something important to see Mu Xichun, so I picked up the phone and informed her.

The appointment was arranged in the reception room, and Mu Xichun left shortly after I informed the front desk, and I didn't bother to follow.

It stands to reason that I want to keep up and do some serving work, but for a long time, if Mu Xichun hadn't called me personally, I wouldn't bother to meet anyone with her.

After a long time, she seemed to be too lazy to argue with me, and she would not ask me to go with her if it was not necessary.

After about 10 minutes, Mu Xichun came back.Walking up to me, he stopped and said to me: "The reception room is your friend, you should go and meet him. I think it's up to you to decide this matter!"

She walked straight into the president's office without waiting for my reply. The moment she turned around, she smiled meaningfully, which made me feel strange and inexplicable.

　It was only when I opened the door of the reception room full of doubts that I finally understood the meaning of that smile.

The person sitting in the reception room is none other than Anne who just met me yesterday.I froze for a moment, thinking of the back of Annie's departure yesterday, I suddenly understood why she came at this moment.

"Annie? Why did you come to the company and why didn't you say hello to me?" Although I was somewhat sure of Annie's intentions, I still asked out of caution.

"I told you in advance, would you still let me come?" Annie looked at me and said.

"Then what's the matter with you coming to the company?" Although I guessed something, I still asked.

Annie didn't speak, but opened her handbag and took out a bag from it.

I took the bag and opened it for a look, and sure enough my guess was confirmed. There were several stacks of money in the bag, about a hundred thousand, and she really came here for my business.

I didn't expect that Annie would come to find Mu Xichun in person without telling me. I guess Annie was sure that I would not take the initiative to accept her help, but she couldn't bear to see my miserable situation, so she made such a plan to kill first and play later.

If Mu Xichun accepts, then there is nothing I can do if I disagree, but now it seems that Mu Xichun, a monster-like woman, is not in her plan.

"Annie, I know you want to help me, but I can really solve it myself!" I really didn't know what to say to make Annie dispel this idea, so I had to say the same old tricks again.

"You always say you have a solution, tell me what you can do, when will you pay back the 10 yuan with your salary plus the money you work in the bar? Three months? Five months? The weather is getting hotter every day, do you want to sleep in that hot warehouse all the time?"

Anne's emotions were obviously agitated.

I bowed my head and was speechless.

"I don't understand. We have been friends for many years. I can help you easily. Isn't the meaning of friends to help each other? Why do you take your man's dignity so seriously? Really is this necessary?"

Annie stood up from the chair excitedly, tears filled her eyes.Her eyes were wide open as if trying to hold back the tears.

"Annie, I don't want to stick to some man's self-esteem. Any man's self-esteem in front of you is bullshit."

"It's you who have been paying me all the way for so many years. It used to be, and it is still the same now. I owe you enough. I just don't want to owe you more! Do you understand?"

"It's just another burden on me and I can't pay it off for the rest of my life, you understand?" Seeing the tears in Anne's eyes, I couldn't control my emotions.

I thought it was absolutely unacceptable to say this, and it would be better to let her mistakenly think that I was acting on my pride than to let her understand that I refused her help because I was afraid of owing her, which would hurt her less.

But I couldn't hold back after all.

But after I finished speaking, I regretted it. Annie looked up at me, and the tears that she had endured for a long time finally rolled out of her eyes, and there was endless sadness in her eyes.

She said slowly, "So that's how it is!"

She smiled wryly.

"I understand! You never owed me anything, I did it voluntarily, everything I did has nothing to do with you, you don't have to feel guilty at all!"

Annie looked at me and smiled sadly, tears streaming down my face.

My heart couldn't help throbbing. When did this strong girl in front of me burst into tears like now, and when did she feel so sad like now!

I used to think that if there was such a moment, I would definitely let the person who made her cry without a burial, but now the culprit is myself!
Why did I just hurt the person I least want to hurt!I really want to slap myself a few times, if it will make Annie less sad.

I took Annie's hand to make her sit down again, and wiped away the tears on her face, but just after I wiped it off, I was wet with tears again.

Annie was motionless, not responding to my movements in the slightest.

I squatted in front of Annie and took her hand and said, "Listen to me, Annie, it's not what you think. forget."

"As a friend, I have always wanted to find opportunities to repay you, but you know, I have not achieved anything these years and have no ability to help you, but you have been helping me."

"It's just that this time I can really solve this matter by myself. Listen to me, I have already paid back almost half of my salary and the bar's commission, and it won't be long before I can pay it off. At that time, I will resign Find another job, or I will go to work in your studio, didn't you say you want me to help you!"

Annie slowly turned her face and picked up the money in the bag and said to me with tears in her eyes: "Brother, I don't care about the future, I just ask you whether you want the money or not!"

"...Annie, I..."

I was speechless for a while!
"Brother, you don't need to say anything, I understand!" Annie wiped the tears off her face, tried her best to calm down, put the money back into her bag, stood up and walked out.

I reached out and grabbed Annie's arm, trying to explain again: "Annie, it's really not what you think, can you trust me once?"

Annie stopped and smiled at me: "I have always believed in you!" After speaking, she gently took my hand away and walked out of the reception room.
