nowhere to confess

One advantage of wallowing in work is that time passes quickly.

I saw Jennie standing at the door from a distance. The store manager shrank his neck and hid in the back kitchen when he saw me earlier. Jennie took me to the old place by the window and served a newly made dessert: "Even you don't know where the boss is, and you still come to ask us? Isn't it a little funny?"

I glanced at the dessert in front of me, feeling a little tired.I raised my head: "Well, I just fell in love with you to be funny... Your boss said that she will come back in a while, when exactly?"

Someone put a cup of coffee on the table, and I picked it up and took a sip. Seeing that I even drank coffee, Jennie immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Did you drink something wrong?" Jennie asked me, "Do you know what you're drinking now?"

I glanced at the dark cup in front of me: "Coffee."

Jennie sighed: "I'll get you another cup of tea, did you forget about your coffee allergy?"

It's just an allergy, not a big deal.I picked up the glass and took another sip.

By the time Jennie changed to black tea, a row of dense rashes had already appeared on my arms.I pulled up the sleeves and rolled them down to my elbows, and said to Jennie, "Look, if you don't tell me when she's coming back, I'll come to drink coffee every day."

"You are not only allergic to coffee, but also drunk. It's really a strange person." Jennie said.Seeing that I started to scratch my arm, I quickly took my hand, "If you scratch again, the skin will break...I'm telling the truth," Jennie said with a serious expression, "The boss asked the store manager to issue a financial statement at the end of each month. give her……"

"At the end of each month?" Very good, it seems that this "over time" is not calculated on a daily basis, but on a monthly basis, and may even be calculated on a yearly basis.

I stumbled out of the coffee shop like a "drunk man" (as Jennie later told me).Huaihai Road is full of traffic. I remembered that many years ago, a friend and I went shopping here. When we were tired, we sat on the flower bed in the middle of the road and watched people come and go.

My friend is a woman with a temperament like Sanmao, from Shanghai, but not like a Shanghainese, she likes to wander around the world.Believe in Buddhism.Waist-length hair, fringed skirts, colorful nails randomly painted.Love to laugh, laugh big.She told me that when she first entered Tibet, she took the train, and dogs were not allowed on the train, but she took one with her. The stray dog ​​met her on the road and followed her all the time. She put the dog in a backpack, and every day The dogs at the security check did not make a sound.

"Haha, there is also Buddha's fate!" She laughed, "I believe in fate, how about you?"

I nodded, a little shy. I was in college at that time, and I was not used to talking about fate and other topics with people.

Tonight or any other day, the flower beds in the middle of Huaihai Road had long since disappeared. I was sitting on the steps at the entrance of Huanmao Plaza.I stood up and flagged down a taxi.

"Tutu, it's me, Chen Huashen." I stood outside the door and kept ringing the doorbell.

"Oh, how many times have I told you that there is no one inside, and people have been gone for days. Why don't you believe it?" The aunt next door opened the door, stuck out her head, and looked me up and down, "Look at you. Refreshing, how can you be so confused and not listen to people's persuasion?"

"Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you. Let's go now." Lin Su appeared out of nowhere, and probably followed me for a while.

While talking, he held my hand and pulled me away from the "scene".

"Lin Su, in fact, you don't have to be so nice to me. I'm a stubborn person who will break your heart, and I won't hurt if I break your heart. It's not worth it." I sat in the car and broke up with her. Fingers make sense.

"That's my business, not yours."

"Have you seen that movie? 'Letter from a Strange Woman', that movie, have you seen it? It's played by Xu Jinglei."

"Seen."

"Well, that's good, then you understand what I'm talking about."

Lin Su was driving the car, staring straight ahead: "Understood."

"No, you don't understand." I thought for a while and said, "I'm going to ask for leave, and I may leave Shanghai for a while."

Lin Su frowned: "Are you going to find her?"

I didn't speak.I don't even know where she is.

Maybe, let's go to her hometown first, and then, let's talk about it later.

I feel a little sleepy.

I didn't sleep much for several nights in a row. The heating in the car was full, and it was rocking like sitting in a cradle.Soon I fell asleep in a daze.

When he woke up, he was lying on Lin Su's back.I looked at the curly hair around her ears, with fine beads of sweat on it, I was startled, and jumped off her back: "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"I see you slept soundly." Lin Su brushed her hair.

"I'm heavy, I'll crush you." I said, feeling a little guilty in my heart.

"You're not heavy." Lin Su said, taking a look at me, "You're in good shape."

After entering the room, I regained my energy: "Lin Su, are you laughing at me in your heart?"

"No." Lin Su now speaks concisely to me.

"I have, I feel ridiculous." I said seriously, "But I can't find where the joke is." It's like, I can't find the focus of life.

I just drew a blueprint on paper, and before I could start building, the blueprint was blown away by the wind.

"I've thought about it for a long time, and I think there's something I should let you know." Lin Su looked at me seriously.

My heart tightened, "Well, tell me, don't make the atmosphere so tense, just say whatever you want."

"You have to be mentally prepared." She seemed to want to ease the atmosphere, but what she said was counterproductive.

Is it?

I didn't dare to think about it, "Let's talk, I can bear it." I felt a little dizzy in front of my eyes, maybe some blood supply was insufficient.too tired.

Lin Su turned on the phone, opened the photo folder, and handed it to me.

This photo was taken at the Zheshang Annual Friendship Party, where many heavyweight entrepreneurs were present.Ding's production base is in Zhejiang, which has contributed a lot to the local GDP, so Mr. Ding was also invited.Last week, Xiaosun and Mr. Ding also went to Hangzhou to attend the meeting.At the company's regular meeting yesterday, the pictures Xiaosun showed to everyone included the live photos.When I saw those pictures at the time, I still felt a little strange in my heart. Usually, after the meeting, the participants would take a group photo.During the conference, the organizer or participants will also take pictures of the conference panorama according to different topics.The pictures that Dante always asks Xiao Sun to show are all partial close-ups, not a single panorama.It feels like something is being carefully avoided that, for some reason, is not convenient for anyone outside the meeting to see.

In the photo that Lin Su showed me, there is a person I am very familiar with—Qin Zheng, the only daughter of Qin Zhaoming, who has disappeared for many days. She is wearing a black evening dress, and standing beside her is a young The man was also dressed in a tuxedo, holding a wine glass in his left hand and resting on Tutu's arm with his right hand.The relationship between the two appears to be very close.

"This man's name is Xiao Nan, the young master of Hangzhou Longchuang Group. According to rumors...he is Qin Zheng's fiancé..." Lin Su hugged me in time.

I grabbed Lin Su's arm, slowly stood still, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Lin Su...I've thought about all the consequences, but I didn't think of this...I want to be alone for a while."
