Rich woman and her four bodyguards

As the manager of the restaurant, Hu Lele was hiding behind the screen, feeling extremely complicated. When he heard his old friend Li Weijie suggested that he go over to drink together, his heart trembled suddenly and he broke into a cold sweat. He knew that he no longer had the face to face those old friends, especially his former love rival Li Maoyi and his former colleague Li Qi.

Hu Lele hesitated behind the screen. He was afraid of facing everything in the past, afraid of being brought up again, afraid of embarrassment and shame. He politely declined Li Weijie's invitation, saying that he was busy and would come to have a drink with them later. However, Gu Junyi did not let him go, insisting on letting him come over, and even teased him about whether he was alienated from them.

Hu Lele was in a dilemma. As he listened to their words, he felt an indescribable anxiety in his heart. He felt like a trapped animal with nowhere to escape, trying to find a hole in the ground to burrow into. He kept telling himself that he really didn't have the face to see them, especially since Li Maoyi and Li Qi were both present, which made him feel even more embarrassed.

Just when Hu Lele was in dire straits, Li Maoyi suddenly asked in confusion: "Is he the same Manager Hu we had a few years ago?" Gu Junyi immediately confirmed with a smile: "Yes! It's Hu Lele, we know each other. Friends." He warmly invited Hu Lele to come over and chat and drink together.

Hu Lele listened to their words with mixed feelings. He knew that he had no way out and had no choice but to face it all. He slowly walked out from behind the screen, his heart full of anxiety and uneasiness. However, he also understood that at this moment, he must bravely face the past and face those former friends and opponents. Only in this way can he truly step out of his shadow and regain his own life.

Hu Lele stood among a group of familiar faces, his mood was extremely complicated. These faces were once his friends, his companions, and his old friends. But now, he doesn't know how to get along with them and how to communicate with them. His posture seemed extremely unnatural, as if his body was stiff and unable to move freely.

He picked up the wine glass, tried to look as natural as possible, and then said: "Thank you everyone for the invitation. I'm really happy to see you. It's just that I'm still at work, so I can only toast with wine." His words were full of emotion. He was embarrassed and nervous, but he tried his best to look calm.

Li Weijie looked at him and asked: "Hu Lele, have you been working here for several years?" Hu Lele nodded and replied: "Yes, I have been here since this store opened." His voice was a little bit Trembling, but he tried his best to stay calm.

Li Qi next to him also looked at him and said with a smile: "Manager Hu, are you still here? I thought you resigned? Thank you for taking care of me. Are you okay now?" Hu Lele looked at Li Qi, thinking in his heart Full of shame. He used to be this person's boss, but now, this person has an annual salary of one million, and he is still standing still. He didn't know how to answer, so he could only smile awkwardly.

Li Maoyi, who was sitting across from him, was once his love rival, but now he said to him humbly: "Friend, how are you? Do you have children? Thank you for taking Ren Jiao away from me. Otherwise, I would not have achieved what I have today. Sometimes, we really have to believe in fate. I am really happy now. I have been married for four years, have a lovely son, and my second child is coming soon. If not I really didn't know what the outcome would be if you intervened in the first place. Now I'm relieved, and I sincerely hope that you and Ren Jiao will be well too."

Hearing these words, Hu Lele felt even more embarrassed and ashamed. He didn't know how to answer, so he could only nodded and said, "Ren Jiao and I are both fine. We don't have children yet, but we are planning on it." His words were full of helplessness and embarrassment, but he tried his best to Looks calmer.

Throughout the night, Hu Lele felt like an outsider, unable to integrate into this once familiar circle. His heart was filled with guilt and uneasiness, and he didn't know how to face these people or how to get along with them. But he also understands that this is his own choice and he must bear the consequences. He hopes that, over time, he can regain his place and reintegrate into the circle.
