I reached over and shook hers.

An Ning's fingertips were cold, as if she had finally absorbed some strength from me, she shook her hand lightly, forced a smile and said, "Am I stupid? I'm so old, and I'm still affected by something that high school students don't bother to do." to the mood."

"It's not stupid." I immediately denied, "It's called cherishing your feathers. You haven't done anything wrong."

"I dare not tell my family. I have been avoiding video calls with my parents for the past two weeks. I am afraid that if I feel wronged, I will be discouraged and make them worry." An Ning's hands were clenched into fists, but she was tight Then he almost forced himself to let go, and was so strong that he deliberately said, "Now they can't get over it, and I can't go back. I don't think it should be mentioned. I am not strong enough, and I will be swayed by that kind of words." ..."

Her voice was getting lower and lower.

"It must be that people who chew their tongues are stronger." Seeing her raise her head abruptly, I smiled and said, "You see, they sleep soundly at night. They still haven't done enough during the day, and there are too few tasks. , is your manager so kind-hearted? How easy is it to set the KPI?"

An Ning let out a chuckle, "Executives just look at things from a different angle."

My tone was brisk: "Tell me, what are the sayings that make you so uncomfortable? I'll see if there are any new words."

An Ning's smile faded a little, and she said slowly: "Actually, there is nothing too extreme. I don't think they would talk about it in front of me. It was just that during the tea break the other day, when we talked about boyfriend and girlfriend Two colleagues made fun of me. I said I had nothing to do with Kevin, but they still didn’t believe it, so they jokingly talked about how Kevin was so popular, and let me take good care of it.”

I squinted my eyes: "Colleagues in your department said it in front of you?"

She nodded: "It's still a group."

"Male?" I smiled.

An Ning froze for a moment: "How do you know?"

"I'm here." I took a sip of tea, "Female colleagues prefer to point fingers and scold Huai. Hey, do you think this counts as a difference between men and women?"

She seemed to have no room for joking anymore, so she responded vaguely, and finally said: "I think it's about the same."

"That's true." I pursed my lips, not knowing how to explain her.

An Ning is different from me.Qu Zhizhi regards money as dung, and the two sisters are very similar in this respect, they just pursue different things.In life, one has to care about something. If one doesn’t care about money, one’s state of mind will only be purer—the purer, the easier it is to get hurt.

The world is complicated.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable? How have you slept these days?" I looked at her and slowly felt an indescribable sadness: it was not indescribable, but indescribable.The life of an adult is always difficult, and the earth will not turn around less because of you.If the pause button is lost in life, it is like a gun against the forehead, and time will push you forward without mercy.

You can't lie on the ground and cry.

Besides that was useless.

An Ning nodded silently. After a long time, she finally said, "It's better to fall asleep, but it's easier to wake up. Sometimes I feel sleepy during meetings."

"Sleep is still very important. If you don't have a good sleep and breakfast as the basis for a day's work, it is difficult to guarantee the quality. Now that you are so busy, if you have been owed to your body, you may not be able to repay the credit after a long time. This is The most fundamental thing, but it’s easy for people to forget.” I spoke to her, but I didn’t know whether it was An Ning or myself who was obedient, “I’ll send you the melatonin and meal replacement I’m taking now, vitamins you Are you eating? Have you been basking in the sun?"

"You can't avoid sunbathing here." An Ning was interrupted from her emotions, staring at me as if thinking about pressing the phone, "I'm taking vitamin supplements, and I'm still taking oryzanol during this time."

"No," I sent the message, and put down my phone, "I see that you often use an umbrella when it's not raining, and you seldom wear makeup, but you should also wear sunscreen when you don't wear makeup, right?"

"Ah." An Ning caught his face, and quickly glanced at me, "I'm afraid of getting sunburned. I'm also more worried about sunburn... Among the people here, I'm familiar with it, it seems that only You don't have sunburn."

I am not a china doll.That's a well done base, thank you.

I didn't have time to pay attention to her subtle flattery, An Ning must have been troubled for a long time because of these rumors.If I had the courage to confide in me, but was fooled in such an understatement, not to mention how she felt in her heart, I would not be able to get past myself first.Not to mention anything else, but if her sister finds out about this, I think this head can be opened to her.

Thinking of this, I didn't answer her words, just said: "You have to ensure that you can get 10 minutes of sun exposure every day, preferably without sun protection. There is also exercise, whether it is anaerobic or aerobic. Well, exercise is also important.”

An Ning was stunned, and seemed a little out of state when she answered: "Do you still want to try mindfulness and do yoga?"

"Of course you can if you're interested."

"Aren't these methods used to relieve depression?" She suddenly laughed, "And the sunbathing one is for vitamin D?"

"Small blue tablets were originally used to treat cardiovascular diseases, as long as they are easy to use." I didn't mean to be joking at all, "If you don't know how to take care of your emotions, start by taking care of your body. Stay energetic, Supplement nutrition, even if there are some messy things outside, the damage to you is always limited. This is where the interesting part of the body is, as long as you treat it well, it will treat you well. What do you think?"

An Ning looked at me with a slightly bitter smile.However, she never tried to avoid my gaze, and I didn't want to avoid it in the past: this is too important, I am someone who has experienced it, and I can't pretend to her just for the sake of looking good.

In the end, An Ning solemnly said: "I will take good care of myself."

"Okay." I raised my eyebrows.It's one thing whether she can hear it or not, but it's impossible for me not to say it.

However, the resolution of the underlying problem did not seem to be enough of a relief for her.An Ning was a little timid, looked at me, and asked again: "How did you digest what those people said? I just want to ask...you don't have to say what you don't want to say."

I pursed my lips: "I can't digest."

"Ok?"

"Actually, it's better not to listen." I wanted to inspire her, and I said it bluntly, without any packaging, "But many times you don't have a choice in the company. The choices are inherently limited. Some people don't know why. For what purpose, I sent the words to your ear. In this case, the person involved has no experience, and I feel uncomfortable, which I think is normal.

"But aren't those words used by disgusting people? What era is it now, and we are in an ordinary private company, and a few words can't kill people. I just thought it was something from someone else's world, but it just happened to appear here .Since it belongs to others, he should be kicked out. Whether his words are true or not, and what his intentions are, he can handle it himself. The more people gossip, the more they have to use their working ability to speak. I have also been a prince for 20 years. He became ill, and Tang Suzong was frightened to death, but Ming Renzong died of exhaustion at the work station. His father is Zhu Di, who is more than ten times scarier than Li Fuguo? Of course, I am not saying that it is so good to die at the work station, but In the end, this must be considered a work-related injury, and the company will lose money. Who will pay for those who are scared to death?"

An Ning was amused: "Your metaphor..."

"That's a good analogy." I said, "Isn't working for money?"

"A sense of accomplishment is also very important." An Ning added, "Well, there are also things like whether you are happy with your work and whether the company atmosphere is good..."

"Then you are too greedy. It's better to only have the same picture." I said, "Besides, if others are happy, you may not be happy. The advanced corporate culture does not mean that the atmosphere of your own group is friendly. The environment is created by people. , at the beginning, you may not be able to change the environment, but at least don't be changed by the environment, are you right?"

"Yes." An Ning replied.She paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "Let's settle the training fee."

I was stunned: "Do you still have the talent to tell bad jokes?"

"I didn't learn this from you." She said with a slight northern accent.

I laughed dryly, but the subject matter was really poor, and my queen-level acting skills were not fully utilized.An Ning didn't seem to care, and relaxed, and said, "Can you please keep this matter a secret? I don't want my family to know."

I nodded: "Don't worry."

Qu Zhizhi and I are just acquaintances now, if she doesn't find me, I won't take the initiative to contact her.Fortunately, Dr. Qu is used to my ruthlessness, and at most she can tease me a few times when I meet her. It's fine if she says it, but she won't take it to heart.

I'm not good at maintaining relationships.

After all the words have been said, her mood has improved a little, so I won't add to the liking.Because they are in the same company, the topic naturally turned to the recent situation.I joked and asked her to support her more in the future. An Ning was very flattered and carefully explained the whole thing.

But in the end the situation is stronger than people.After a while, she became less anxious, and quietly threw out a BCG talk.She obviously has something to say, how can I not join in, before I have time to think about it, the question has already been asked: "Why, you are so familiar now that you can share industry gossip?"

"It's not gossip." She looked away, drinking water in a slightly unnatural way. "It should be that they think it's new and tell me about it. I didn't think much about it. It was a meal recently, and a senior fellow The manager actually called a car for them."

I smile as usual.

Lin Yimin must have said it, Xu Xin couldn't do it, and the other local Singaporean staff didn't dare to say it if he wanted to mess around.I just don't know if An Ning heard him directly, or where did he get the second-hand information?

An Ning looked at me quietly, but her eyes just happened to meet mine.She paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Is that you?"

"The new official took office three fires, I didn't do enough to save face, how could Kevin give me face?" I admitted immediately.

He really deserves to be Kevin's favorite general.An Ning has grown up rapidly, even though she is still a little immature, now she even dares to interview me in person.
