thoughtful

"what?!"

Raymond guessed the beginning but not the ending.

Song Sifan offered invitations several times in succession, and he had seriously considered the possibility of going to the project management department. It didn’t really matter to him, but he knew Xu Yao’s personality of "holding on to the green hills and not letting go". He never thought that Xu Yao would Really put him in project management.

Even if Xu Yao is willing to let go, it is by no means the present when Yang Qili is missing and the sales department is short of people.

"Tommie, don't you want me?" Raymond stretched out his hand tremblingly with tears in his eyes, "I feel abandoned by this world..."

"you think too much."

"Why so suddenly?" In Lei Meng's impression, Xu Yao was definitely not the kind of person Song Sifan said, "Are you sure you want me to go there now?"

Xu Yao paused, then glanced at him, "Do you really want to know?"

"It's not because of Song Sifan?" Lei Meng blurted out, and he immediately regretted it, covering his mouth and looking at Xu Yao.

"Song Sifan told you?" Xu Yao turned the pen, with a look of disapproval, "That's right, since he wants you, he must have asked for your opinion beforehand."

etc!This style of painting has changed a bit fast!It was supposed to be a tragic scene of "a cruel boss abandoning innocent subordinates cruelly", but how did Xu Yao say that it turned into a betrayal scene of "unscrupulous subordinates secretly colluding with other departments"?

"Mr. Xu, my sincerity to you can be learned from the sun and the moon!" Lei Meng grievously drew circles on the desk, "Have you forgotten the encouragement of love when you promoted me?"

"When I promoted you..." Xu Yao hesitated.Lei Meng rarely saw Xu Yao hesitate, especially when facing himself, he had no need to hesitate at all.

"Actually, I did it to pave the way for Killy."

"Ah?" Lei Meng was a little confused, what was Xu Yao talking about?

"As a newcomer with relatively low qualifications, I encountered a lot of unimaginable resistance in the process of leapfrog promotion. I don't want her to go through it too, so even if she is capable enough, I have not promoted her for a long time."

No wonder when he first joined Qiya, Yuan Jie reminded him to be careful of Yang Qili, saying that she was only a special assistant on the surface, but in fact she had the power to be a department manager.

Lei Meng vaguely guessed something, he really hoped it wasn't what he guessed.

"There are many people in the sales department who are older than her. Although she has been in the job for seven years, she is still too young. I only promote her by one, I'm afraid she won't be able to withstand the pressure... Then, you came."

Lei Meng's face turned pale, and he really wanted to stop Xu Yao from saying what he was about to say, but his whole body seemed to be nailed to a chair, and he could only move his lips weakly.

Xu Yao didn't seem to notice Lei Meng's strangeness, and continued on his own, "I thought that if the two of you were promoted together, the pressure would be shared equally. With you, a newcomer with less seniority, it will attract more firepower... "

Lei Meng didn't want to hear what Xu Yao said later, his heart sank little by little, and countless invisible chains imprisoned him, piercing through the skin and deep into the bone marrow, even the pulse was still.

He thought of the inexplicably extra work when he was just promoted to the manager, the countless times he heard others talking about him in the tea room, and the Tenglong project that was deliberately tripped by others...

He struggled to take a breath, and asked word by word, "You can't give her happiness, so you want to use your career to make up for it and alleviate your guilt?"

Unable to refute, Xu Yao smiled wryly, "Yes."

"So you promoted me just because you happened to need a stepping stone?"

"Of course not," Xu Yao quickly retorted, "It's more because of your outstanding ability..."

"A stepping stone to great ability?"

"I didn't mean that. You think about it carefully. The choice is yours."

"Hehe, now that Killy knows the truth, you think she won't go back to Zia again. My stepping stone is useless to you, so you can throw it to Song Sifan at will?"

Xu Yao was silent for a while, instead of getting angry like before, he spoke again in a business-like tone: "I know you really like to do project management, if you want to go to the project management department, I will not restrain you anymore. If You are still willing to continue to work in the sales industry, and I will support you as before."

Raymond calmed down, his aggressive self was too ugly.

He said goodbye to Xu Yao politely, walked out of the sales director's office and sat back in his seat, did the rest of the work conscientiously, and drove home on time after get off work.He was still chatting and laughing while having dinner with his family, and no one noticed that he was hiding great emotions.

In the dead of night, Lei Meng quietly got up from the sofa. The negative emotions that had been suppressed for a day had already boiled away, clamoring for an outlet.

Lei Meng was eager to confide in someone alone, so he called Yang Qili, but the phone was still turned off.Turning through the address book from beginning to end, I don't know who to contact.In the end, he dialed a number that he thought he would never take the initiative to dial in his life.

"Hi, I'm Remon."

"I know," Lei Meng heard Song Sifan chuckle slightly, "Why did you remember to call me at this time?"

"Nothing, I just..."

Raymond was momentarily at a loss for words, just what?Are you just upset because your boss took advantage of you?It's true that Xu Yao took advantage of him, but he didn't lose anything, on the contrary, he got a benefit.If the truth is not known, this is a completely happy ending.

The workplace is like this, and Xu Yao is not a philanthropist, so there is no reason to promote him for no reason.My current actions are tantamount to being good-looking when I get a cheap one. I called Song Sifan to complain, which seemed too hypocritical.

Song Sifan did not urge him, but quietly waited for his words.

Finally Raymond thought of a lame excuse, "I'm just bored and want to talk to someone."

"Okay, let's talk." There was a rustling voice on the other end of the phone, maybe Song Sifan found a sofa and sat down.

"Hmm..." Now that he decided to chat, Lei Meng couldn't think of a better topic for a while, "Killy got married in a flash."

"Really? So fast." Song Sifan wasn't surprised in his tone.

"Don't you care who the groom is?"

"Anyway, it's not Xu Yao, so it doesn't matter who the groom is."

"It's true..." It seems that this topic can't go on, Lei Meng thought for a while, "Last time you kindly let me recuperate at your home, but I left without saying goodbye, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, don't worry about it. I saw that the things under the bed are empty, has Li Keran been here?"

"Hmm..." But I took care of things for you, Lei Meng stuck out his tongue while Song Sifan couldn't see, "Did he find you later?"

"No. He's a smart man, and he won't keep lowering his value to save a relationship that doesn't help him."

"That's because he didn't know your identity... I thought he really loved you."

"True love doesn't have to be together forever, right? Isn't that what Yang Qili is like? She has given her heart, loved her, and if she still can't get it, no one will wait foolishly. Smart people will choose to leave."

"So you're smart too?"

"Of course I am."

"When Li Keran was packing up his things, I saw a pair of rings... You really want to spend the rest of your life with him, right?" Lei Meng walked to the window with the phone in his hand, and habitually looked in Song Sifan's direction. Covered the moon, gloomy can not see the distance.

"Well, I was planning to propose it for Valentine's Day."

Lei Meng thought of the neat single bed in the guest room of Song Sifan's house, and proposed before he even went to bed?Song Sifan refreshed his understanding of GAY.On the day he sent Yang Qili off, he blurted out the question he wanted to ask Song Sifan, "Is it worth it?"

"What?" Song Sifan didn't respond.

"He never paid you anything in return, right? Is it worth it for you to treat him like this?" Yang Qili did the same, she treated Xu Yao heart and soul, but in the end she got nothing. Lei Meng couldn't understand this kind of mentality.

"Since you are in love, don't worry about whether it is worth it or not." Song Sifan suddenly became serious, "I am a Christian, and the Almighty Lord teaches people how to love."

"Oh? How to love?" Raymond didn't believe in religion. He sat down by the window and asked in a playful tone.

Song Sifan cleared his throat and recited solemnly:

"Love is enduring patience and kindness."

"Love does not envy, love does not brag, is not puffed up, does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not easily angered, thinks no evil, does not rejoice in injustice, but rejoices in the truth."

"Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

"Love never fails."

His melodious voice came from the microphone, like a scroll of scriptures slowly unfolding in front of his eyes, covering gently, the doubts, grievances and anger in Lei Meng's heart were slowly smoothed away, the dark clouds receded, and the moonlight shone down.

Lei Meng put this passage in his heart and rolled it back and forth a few times, "It must be a big white lotus to be able to do this."

"You haven't done it yet, how do you know you can't do it?" Song Sifan smiled, "I know what you are worrying about, don't be afraid, follow your own heart."

Raymond was taken aback.

Song Sifan knows?

Does he mean the decision to go to the project management department or stay in the sales department?Or was it his wavering feelings for him?

"you……"

Song Sifan yawned on the other end of the phone, "It's too late, go to sleep."

"and many more……"

"Good night, hang up."

Raymond kept his original posture and sat under the window sill for half the night.He considered a lot, family, career, future.But whenever Song Sifan's face popped out of his mind uncontrollably, he would put all his worries behind him.

That's all, since you fell in love at this time and age, you should cherish it and treat this relationship from beginning to end. If it ends due to any problems in the future, it will be a matter of the future.

Saying that I can't understand Yang Qili's mentality is nothing more than expecting extravagant returns, fearing that the love I have given will not be taken back.Is such a selfish feeling qualified to be called love?

Taking out his mobile phone, Lei Meng sent Xu Yao a harassing text message in the middle of the night: I decided to go to the project management department.

Making up his mind, he climbed back to the bed easily. That night Lei Meng dreamed of Song Sifan's back smoking alone. He knew it was a dream, but his heart really hurt.

I want to try to bridge the gap between each other.

want to go to your world.

Want to plant roses all over your planet.
