Four years single, three years widowed

Good news, bad news, which one do you want to hear first?

The good news is that during the few days when Li Can accompanied Duan Wenzheng, Zhang Yan never came again. The bad news is that his one-week vacation is over.

Fortunately, Duan Wenzheng's recovery speed is gratifying, no matter how reluctant Li Can is, he can rest assured and return to the company to work seriously.

Taking the elevator from the garage, Li Can quickly reached the floor and stepped out of the elevator.

I haven't seen him for a few days. The front desk saw him and greeted him with a smile: "Manager Li is back from vacation?"

"Well, I'm back." Li Can nodded with a gentle face.

Carrying the briefcase and walking towards the office, while passing by the office area, many colleagues coming and going greeted Li Can, and Li Can responded one by one.

He hadn't come to the company for seven days, and he really missed the atmosphere.

Taking off his thick coat, Li Can sat on the office chair and started the computer that followed him on vacation for a week.

"Knock, knock!" Someone knocked on the office door.

Li Can looked up and saw Secretary Kong standing at the door, holding a cup in his hand.It was his coffee, he guessed.

"Good morning, Manager Li."

"Good morning."

"I made you a cup of coffee."

It was not what he expected.

Entering the office, Secretary Kong put the coffee on the desk.

"Thank you." Li Can picked up the cup and took a sip.

The mellow aroma and bitterness filled the lips and teeth, and it was still the original taste.Secretary Kong's coffee making skills are really good, almost catching up with the coffee shops outside.

I don't know if it's because he tried to cook a few meals with his heart and felt the difficulty of doing it by himself. Li Can suddenly wanted to express the praise he had never said to Secretary Kong.

Putting down the glass, Li Can said sincerely: "It's delicious."

Secretary Kong was taken aback for a moment, then blushed slightly, showing a shy smile: "Really?"

"Really." Li Can confirmed.

"As long as Manager Li likes it." Secretary Kong couldn't hide her happiness.

As if he was also infected by her joyful mood, Li Can raised the corners of his lips, and the pair of red phoenix eyes under the lens showed warmth.

This good mood lasted until the time after get off work, when Li Can was about to leave the office, he happened to hear nearly half of his colleagues discussing where to eat.

"Want to eat barbecue? Isn't there a new one on Jixian Road?" One said, "Let's try it."

"I've been to that one, it's not good." Another commented.

"How about hot pot?" Another suggestion.

"Hot pot, I'm getting tired of eating it every day." Sister Chen said.

Aya raised her hands high: "I vote for Japanese material!"

"Japanese food is fine." Andy agreed.

They chattered and discussed, and finally decided to take Aya's suggestion and go to eat Japanese food, but they had trouble with which restaurant to eat, and the chat was full of enthusiasm.

After turning off the lights in the office, Li Can silently walked past his colleagues, not wanting to disturb them.

"Manager Li." Secretary Kong suddenly stopped him.

Li Can paused and turned around.

"Do you want to go together?" Secretary Kong offered the invitation with a look of apprehension in his eyes.

There was a sudden silence at the scene, and none of the colleagues around her responded, but it didn't seem that they were dissatisfied with Secretary Kong's invitation to Li Can, they were just surprised and admired Secretary Kong's courage.

Not only them, even Li Can wondered if he heard it wrong when he first heard it.

He has never attended a colleague party, and the word "unsocial" is a big label on him.

In fact, when he first joined the job, someone had invited Li Can, but he had rejected him. After one or two visits, naturally no one wanted to make fun of himself.

Seeing that Li Canwei refused immediately, Aya felt very hopeful, and quickly said, "Let's go together, Manager Li?"

Changing the briefcase from his left hand to his right, Li Can felt a little uncomfortable, and nodded: "Okay."

As soon as these words came out, the colleagues could no longer control the expressions on their faces, and they looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

To say that it is still an old employee, Sister Chen reacted first, picked up the bag on the seat, and said with a big hand: "Let's go!"

They flocked to the garage on the ground floor. Not all of them drove to work by themselves. Among them, a large part of them commuted by subway or bus. There were only three of them who drove, including Li Can.

"Hey..." Aya gently pushed Secretary Kong and lowered her voice, "Where are you sitting?"

"I can do anything." Secretary Kong said indifferently.

"Then let's take Manager Li's car?" Aya seemed a little excited.

Andy kept up with them, glanced at Li Can who was walking ahead, and asked, "Aren't you afraid of being left alone?"

"How could it be?" Aya blinked, "It's not just me and him in the car."

Finally approaching the parking space, Li Can took out the key, undeniably feeling a little nervous.

Thinking about it with his toes, his colleagues must prefer to take the other two cars and stay away from him.Other people's crowds are crowded, but his crowd is deserted here. Just imagining that kind of scene is embarrassing enough.

Li Can pressed the unlock button, the two lights on the front of the car flickered, and the door was unlocked.

Armed with Secretary Kong, she walked forward quickly, and Aya's eyebrows were frowned: "Manager Li, is it okay for me and Xiao Kong to ride in your car?"

Aya's proactive request dispelled all of Li Can's worries at once, and the embarrassing scene he expected not only did not happen, but was quickly and easily resolved.

With a trace of gratitude, Li Can gentlemanly opened the back seat door for Aya and Secretary Kong.

"Thank you, Manager Li." Smiling, they got into the car one by one.

The car door was still open, and Andy hesitated for a few seconds before walking over.

"Manager Li..."

The corners of Li Can's lips raised slightly, giving her a positive look.

Andy received the information accurately, and sat down with the little sister as he wished.

Later, Sister Chen also sat in Li Can's car, taking the seat of the legendary girlfriend: the co-pilot.

There weren't many girls among the group of them who came out to have a dinner party, so it's alright now, the four of them are in Li Can's car, and the other single male colleagues are envious of them, but no one dares to tease Li Can A sentence "beautiful blessings are not shallow."

"Which restaurant?" Li Can asked.

Sister Chen pulled out her seat belt and put it on, and replied, "Kangtai, the one on Zhongshan Road."

Touching the car screen with his fingertips, Li Can called up the navigation. After confirming the destination, he started the car and set off for the restaurant.

On the way, no one spoke at first, until Aya plucked up the courage to break the silence.

"Manager Li, where did you go on vacation these days?"

Holding the steering wheel in his hand, Li Can said calmly: "I didn't go out to play, it's something."

"Oh..." Aya nodded, "There is something to do."

Silence returns.

No one asked what happened to Li Can. After all, it was a matter of personal privacy. It was not easy to inquire about it due to their normal relationship with bosses and staff.

But if you can’t ask this, you can always say something else!

Looking around, seeing that no one was willing to answer, Aya had no choice but to bite the bullet, and continued: "That's right, it's almost Chinese New Year, if there is no business, there is no need to ask for leave now."

"What date is the Chinese New Year this year?" Andy extended a helping hand.

Sister Chen thought for a while: "It will be the tenth of next month."

"Soon." Secretary Kong said.

"Yes."

"Sister Chen, will you go back to your husband's hometown to celebrate the New Year this year?" Aya asked Sister Chen.

"I definitely won't come back this year. It's agreed to be one person at a time." Sister Chen turned her head and said to the girls, "This year he must go back to his hometown with me."

"That's good." Secretary Kong smiled.

"It's not as good as Andy. She and her boyfriend are both from this city. During the Chinese New Year, you can go back to two homes. It's so convenient." Sister Chen said enviously.

Li Can listened, and unknowingly included herself in the range of Sister Chen's envy.

He and Duan Wenzheng also lived in the same city, so they ran at both ends of the New Year's Day, and there was no pressure at all.

"No wonder my mother always asks me to find local people." Aya rubbed her chin, "Thinking about it this way, it really makes sense."

"That's right." Sister Chen said, "Aya, as someone who has been here, I advise you to find the closest one if you can, preferably in the same community."

Aya raised her forehead: "My mother told you exactly the same."

"The range of mate selection in the same community is too small." Andy disagreed.

"I think so too. Except for the elderly and children, those who are married, those who have girlfriends, those who are too old, those who are too young..." Aya finished counting with her fingers, and said in an exaggerated tone, "What are the rest? ah!"

This remark amused everyone in the car, including Li Can.

Although he has been looking ahead and paying attention to the situation on the road, the smile on his lips means that he has put himself into this chat.

When they arrived at the restaurant, everyone got off the car and walked in one after another. The waiter saw how many of them were there, and hurriedly put together several tables to form a long table for them to sit down.

They each found a place to sit down, and then ordered food and drinks. Li Can ordered a bottle of pure water because he had to drive later.

Those who don’t drive are all drinking. This is “attributed” to a male colleague who is especially good at persuading him to drink. He is annoying, but he doesn’t know it. In order not to tear his face, everyone reluctantly sells him.

Secretary Kong, who was sitting next to Li Can, didn't want to drink at first, but couldn't stand him chattering a lot, so he could only pour half a cup into the glass and stop his mouth.

While eating and chatting, apart from the male colleague, the atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant. Li Can didn't talk much, just a few words, basically he would answer any question, but this didn't prevent him from enjoying it.

He likes lively scenes.

"Yo! I can't tell, Xiao Kong is quite good at drinking!"

Again.

Seeing that Secretary Kong managed to drink the last sip of red wine, the male colleague opened his eyes and said nonsense.

"No, I really don't know how to drink." Secretary Kong immediately shook his head in denial.

As if he was deaf and didn't hear at all, the male colleague picked up the red wine bottle with great interest: "Have some more?"

"No, no, no."

"Let's have some more! What are you afraid of?" He said as he was about to pour red wine into Secretary Kong's goblet.

Suddenly, a big white and slender hand appeared on the goblet, tightly blocking the mouth of the goblet.

Cheng Yaojin came out halfway, and the male colleague turned to look at the owner of that hand.

"Xiao Kong has to go to work tomorrow." Li Can's eyes were cold.

Seeing that it was him, the male colleague immediately turned off the ignition, and said in a friendly voice, "Oh, yes, I have to go to work tomorrow." Then he turned his head to bother the others.

Secretary Kong escaped unharmed, slowly approached Li Can's ear, and said softly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." After Li Can finished speaking, he paused, "Don't take him with you next time."
