a winter fire

04

When Zhou Hanzhang drove me down the mountain, I had already imagined the picture of myself being persuaded to leave—the department leader didn’t need to come forward, my level was not enough, our team leader directly informed me to pack up and leave.

awful.

Because I was in the sorrow of being unemployed, I didn't talk much all the way until I went down the mountain, and Zhou Hanzhang stopped the car suddenly.

"Going forward is the bus stop." Zhou Hanzhang took out the cigarette case, lit a cigarette, and opened the window on the driver's side at the same time, "Go."

I was dumbfounded, and after a long time he just sent me down the mountain, I thought it would be impossible to send me back to the city?

But that's right, I don't have this responsibility or obligation. Being able to send me down is enough to take care of me.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou." I reckoned that I had written the word "mourning" on my face. He is such an educated person, he must recognize this word, "I remember that you said in the book that you like drinking tea, and this box of tea is not bad. You keep it and drink."

I put the tea on his co-pilot's seat and walked away in a daze.

I thought he would refuse to accept the box of tea leaves, but he ignored me and left as soon as I got out of the car.

This place is still in the wilderness, and the bus stop is indeed not far from here, a distance of 30 meters, but the problem is, I waited for 10, [-], [-] minutes before finally waiting for the bus.

When I got in the car, there was no one else but the driver. After sitting down, I looked up the mountain. My first reaction was that I must not come at night. This is too much like a place where evil spirits live in ghost movies. , It is estimated that everyone will like this place.Zhou Hanzhang lives in such a place alone, is he really not afraid?

The bus took me back to the urban area, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, I walked into the office of the editorial department in disgrace.

Everyone is very busy—mainly the youth literature side.

It's not that our company doesn't make money, some books are still selling well, and it's just our group that is holding back the company's economic development.

"Touched your nose?" The team leader asked with a smile after seeing me.

"I haven't even touched the ashes." They won't let me touch them.

The team leader drank his goji berry soaked in water, with an expected look: "Normal, keep working hard."

keep it up?

Do I still have room and necessity to work hard?

"You still have two months, just sign before the year." The team leader said, "Oh, of course, if someone signs before you, then you don't have to wait until the New Year."

I always feel that the team leader is looking forward to my dismissal.

I sat down and sighed on the pillow. Sitting next to me was a sister who had been in the company for more than four years. She poked my arm: "Eat a piece of cake, sweets can make people feel happy."

I turned my head to look at her little strawberry cake and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

The next day, I took a box of small cakes and stood at the door of Zhou Hanzhang's house, and knocked on the door of his house again.

It was past ten o'clock at that time, and I knocked for more than ten minutes, but no one came to answer the door.

I thought he was not at home, and I was even more mourned.

However, it is true that good fortune tricks people. When I was sulking and eating cake in front of his house, the wooden door behind me was opened. I turned around and met those eyes that hadn’t opened much.

"Why are you here again?" He seemed to have just woken up, or rather, hadn't woken up yet.

This man is really sloppy. He doesn't cut his hair when it grows, and doesn't shave his beard when it grows. When he comes out to open the door, he wraps himself in a coat casually, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

"I..." I said, "I'm here to bring you a cake."

He looked down and saw the cake in my hand.

My colleague’s sister told me that eating sweets can make people feel happy. I thought about buying a piece of cake to make him happy, so maybe I agreed. However, he didn’t open the door, which made me very unhappy. Before coaxing him, I first coaxed myself .

I have eaten half of the cake.

This is very embarrassing, the winter wind blows into my ears, not whistling, but laughing and laughing at my stupidity.

Zhou Hanzhang stared at the cake in my hand, and the wind blew his soot far away.

"Mr. Zhou," I almost choked on the cake, "wait for me a while, and I'll buy you another piece."

"Waiting for you for three hours?"

Okay, he also knows that it takes at least three hours for me to go back and forth.

Zhou Hanzhang frowned and yawned, took another puff of his cigarette, and asked me, "Can you cook?"

"what?"

"Come in if you can, and close the door if you don't know where to go."

I won't, but it doesn't stop me from following him in with the cheek.

I quickly stood up, took my half-eaten cake and couldn't wait to enter his house, and closed the door tightly.

I'm in, and he doesn't want me to go.

There have been many stumbling blocks on my path to success, but at this moment, I have moved one piece.

I said, "Mr. Zhou, have you eaten yet?"

"The kitchen is over there, you can do whatever you want, and call me when you're done."

This person is really bad, maybe he thinks I'm a nanny for free sex.

But even though my boss was unwilling, I still endured the humiliation and walked into the kitchen of his house when I thought of the possible resignation procedures.

Zhou Hanzhang is really too embarrassing. There are four big bags of ingredients in his kitchen, but there is not even a pack of instant noodles in it. How can I show my cooking skills?

Ten minutes later, Zhou Hanzhang walked into the kitchen, and he said to me, "Why don't you go out."
