Prohibition of losing contact

At nine o'clock in the evening, the office was brightly lit.

Pei You walked out of the elevator, gave a slight nod to the girl at the front desk who was still working overtime, then turned right into the corridor and walked to the deepest office.

In this line of work, it seems that there is no concept of [-] to [-] by nature. The lights in several large areas in the corridor are still on. Pei You stood still at the door of the partner's office, staring at the light shining through the gap under his feet, and knocked. Door.

"Come in." A quick reply came from inside.

Pei You pressed the doorknob and pushed open the door in front of him.

"Anna, are you looking for me?" Pei You asked.

"Yes." The woman behind the desk raised her head upon hearing the sound, smiled at Pei You, and lightly joked, "Didn't you delay your date at this time?"

Pei You was still not used to talking too much about personal matters in the working environment, so he just pursed his lips and smiled politely, instead of answering directly, he asked in a business-like manner, "What do you want from me?"

"Sit down." The woman raised her chin, motioned him to sit across the desk, and said with a smile, "Don't make a bitter face, it's a good thing."

As she spoke, she bent down slightly, took out a plastic-enclosed document from the filing cabinet under the table, and placed it on the table.

"You work in the firm..." Anna paused, recalling: "It's been almost five years."

"It's almost there." Pei You said, "It's been four years and seven months."

"It's time to upgrade." Anna said meaningfully.

She pushed the folder in her hand to Pei You, and continued: "As you know, the headquarters plans to set up a new office in the southwest, and the Shanghai office is close, so many experienced veterans were transferred there, resulting in Now the management is a bit short of people. The headquarters means to promote two managers internally—so I recommend you."

"Although it is reasonable to say that you will be promoted next year, it will not be a few months away." Anna smiled and said, "And if I remember correctly, it is closer to your home."

Pei You opened the folder and took a look, only to see that inside was an application form for internal promotion, and his work resume had also been printed out by Anna in advance, and was attached at the end of the application form.

"...It's really a good thing." Pei You thought for a while, and then closed the folder: "But I have no plans to transfer jobs in the near future."

"Can I ask why?" Anna asked politely.

"The family I like is local." Pei You said bluntly.

Promotion is a good thing. Pei You was also transferred to the Shanghai office to work for a period of time, so he is quite familiar with it.If it wasn't for the presence of Zhou Qingbai, he probably would have agreed to this transfer without hesitation.

But now he has understood his feelings for Zhou Qingbai, and is pursuing him wholeheartedly, so he is not prepared to consider the situation of "long-distance relationship" where the risk outweighs the benefit.

"Giving up development for love?" Anna asked unexpectedly, "It's not like a choice you would make."

"It's not giving up, it's just waiting for the next opportunity." Pei You corrected: "According to the normal process, I will be able to apply for a manager next year."

Pei You is not a love brain, but he has his own understanding of "love" - ​​if two people are ready to be together, then when faced with possible differences, someone should take the initiative to give in. in order to live better.

Based on Pei You's understanding of Zhou Qingbai, he is not a temper that is willing to expand his territory. He prefers to live in peace on his own three-acre land, and it is best not to have any troubles in his life.

But Pei You didn't care much about where he worked, so in comparison, his small concession was nothing.

"But there is a direct connection with the headquarters, and the development prospects are better." Anna said with a smile: "The salary and job level are also half a level higher than those in Beijing."

"I know." Pei You also smiled, but he still didn't seem to let go. He closed the document, and gently pushed it back to Anna.

Anna wasn't angry, and didn't accept the document, but just motioned Pei You to put it away first.

Large firms have good salaries and benefits, but the work pressure is also high. Every year, the internal promotion period is the peak of resignation.Although Pei You has not worked for a long time, he is professional and stable, and has a surprisingly strong learning ability. Anna has always admired him, so she is not stingy to give him a little patience.

"Don't rush to give me an answer like this." Anna said: "The transfer at the Shanghai office is at the end of the year, you can go back and think about it, or discuss it with your partner—if you still don't want to go in the end, I won't force you. "

There is still half a year between now and the end of the year, Pei You thought about it, and this time he didn't forcefully refuse, but acquiesced to the proposal and accepted the folder.

"Okay, there's no rush for promotion." Anna said, "It's a bit of a rush for work—the joint project with the town government that I talked about last week was approved today, and you have previous experience, so you should hand it over Here it is, prepare it tomorrow, and go on a business trip the day after tomorrow, I will ask the secretary to send you an email for the specific situation."

"Okay." Pei You said, "That's nothing else, I'll go first."

"Yeah." Anna nodded, and before leaving, she said: "Think carefully when you go back."

When Pei You left the office building, it was still some distance from BlackBar's usual closing time. He sat in the car and thought about it, and when he was hesitating whether to go to the bar to catch the end of the show, the phone in his pocket suddenly shook violently stand up.

His mobile phone was connected to the car's Bluetooth, and Ge Xing's note name quickly popped up on the car screen. Pei You was stunned, and reached out to answer.

"Hey?"

"Boss Pei——" Ge Xing's voice came from the phone, with a sense of distortion, and it sounded a little hoarse: "Are you done?"

"I'm done." Pei You said, "What's the matter?"

I don't know where the phone is. It doesn't sound like a bar, but it's very noisy. The blurred voices and singing are intertwined, and it sounds like ghosts and wolves.

"That's right." Ge Xing coughed dryly and said, "I picked up a drunk. If you're free, why don't you come to the lost and found to pick it up?"

Pei You was confused, and Ge Xing hung up the phone before he could ask further questions.

Immediately afterwards, two WeChat messages popped up, and Zhou Qingbai's face illuminated by the dim light appeared on the phone screen. He squinted his eyes, resting his forearm on his forehead, with a bewildered expression, and his eyes were shining brightly. With a little shimmer of water, as if drunk.

Pei You had never seen Zhou Qingbai like this before. He looked harmless and fragile, with soft forehead hair hanging down, loose neckline half open, and the pendant on his chest crookedly rubbing against his collarbone.

Pei You licked his lips inexplicably, his eyes wandered for a moment.

Attached with the photo was an address. Pei You imported the address into the navigation and found that it was a KTV not far from the city center.

Why not in the bar, but went to sing instead, Pei You thought suspiciously.

But puzzled and confused, the drunk had to pick up the phone, so Pei You sent Ge Xing a message of "I'll be there soon", and then started the car.

After 09:30, there was not much traffic jam in the city. It took Pei You about 10 minutes to reach the destination, and then he found it according to the box number given by Ge Xing.

This is a very large box, which can accommodate dozens of people. When the waiter opened the box door for Pei You, the chorus of howling ghosts and wolves poured out instantly, as loud as if it could knock down the roof.

Pei You frowned subconsciously, only feeling pain in the base of his ear.

There were twenty or so men and women in the room, and when they heard the door knocking, they looked over in unison.Ge Xing saw Pei You standing at the door with a long body and a backlight from a long distance away, and suddenly became excited, as if seeing the People's Liberation Army in the enemy-occupied area, turned over from the other side of the sofa, and grasped it Pei You's hand.

"That's great, dear." Ge Xing said sincerely, "It doesn't matter whether you dropped this golden ax or this silver axe, take Zhou Qingbai away quickly."

Pei You: "...?"

Pei You was baffled, before he could check where Zhou Qingbai was, he saw Ge Xing let go of his hand, and quickly rushed back to the other side of the box.

"Hey, ancestor." Ge Xing patted Zhou Qingbai in front of the karaoke machine, and said, "Look who's here."

Zhou Qingbai was a little dizzy from drinking, and turned his head with a frown, just in time to see Pei You walking towards him through the crowd.

Perhaps because he was drunk and unresponsive, Zhou Qingbai was stunned for a while, then narrowed his eyes, as if he didn't know Pei You anymore, and carefully sized him up.

"Why did you come out to drink?" While talking, Pei You had already come close, and was about to reach out to help him: "Are you ready to play, I'll take you home?"

"...Pei You?" Zhou Qingbai stared at him closely and asked in a daze

He looked pitifully dazed, Pei You's heart softened, and he hummed.

"It's me." Pei You said with a good temper, "Did you drink too much?"

"Why are you here?" Zhou Qingbai answered irrelevantly.

"I...?" Pei You was stunned for a moment by his question, and subconsciously replied: "Ge Xing called me and said—"

"It was Ge Xing who asked you to come!" This sentence did not know which sensitive nerve Zhou Qingbai hit. The image of the fragile and harmless drunk cat in the photo disappeared immediately, and he became excited in an instant, as if he was reconnected. The robot with the power supply stood up from the high stool in a huff, and complained loudly, "I like you so much! But you didn't answer my phone!"

"I knew you didn't love me anymore!!"

Pei You: "..."

This earth-shattering question stunned Pei You, the expression on Pei You's face was blank, all the thoughts in his mind disappeared instantly, he didn't know whether to wash away his grievances, or to be happy that Zhou Qingbai confessed unexpectedly.

However, the drunk cat was still unwilling to let go. He seemed to want to come and hug Pei You, but he lost his balance all of a sudden, his feet swayed like garlic and rushed over to Pei You, just like a toucher.

Pei You subconsciously grabbed him, but it's a pity that the drunk was so strong that Pei You didn't grab him all at once.

Zhou Qingbai first put his arms around his shoulders, but couldn't use his strength, so he slid down unsteadily, and finally sat on the steps next to the karaoke platform, hugging Pei You's waist.

"You! You still go on a blind date!" Zhou Qingbai said loudly: "You told Ge Xing and didn't tell me!!!"

Ge Xing couldn't bear to look straight at him and turned his head away, thinking that a drunk would actually watch people order dishes when he was playing drunk, and he would even sue.

Pei You was inexplicably blamed for being so big on his head, and suddenly he was at a loss. He subconsciously wanted to explain, but he didn't know why Zhou Qingbai asked such a question. He was completely confused, so he subconsciously looked at Ge Xing next to him. .

"Excuse me..." Pei You said with difficulty, "Why did he come to drink?"

"I don't know either." Ge Xing lit a cigarette, and said vicissitudes in the smoke: "Maybe it's trapped by love."

Seeing that he ignored him for a long time, Zhou Qingbai sighed faintly when he didn't know what strange plot he was imagining in his head.

"I understand." Zhou Qingbai said: "He must be prettier than me, and better at acting like a baby than me."

Before Pei You could defend his innocence, Zhou Qingbai sighed again and said, "Since that's the case, I have nothing to give you, so I'll give you a song to praise our relationship. .”

A bad premonition suddenly surged in Pei You's heart for no reason, but before he could stop the other party, Zhou Qingbai slid down a section as if he was tired, and took a deep breath.

"Let me take your heart off and try to melt it slowly—"

Pei You: "..."

Ge Xing shook his hand, and the cigarette that had just been lit in his hand fell from between his fingers in an instant, almost burning a hole in his trousers.

Pei You has been in the industry for many years, and has seen countless worlds, but it is indeed the first time he has encountered such a thing as being held by his thigh and singing about the Norwegian forest in full view.

Probably this kind of experience was so bizarre that Pei You's adult calmness finally disappeared. His mind went blank, and his whole body froze into a wooden stick from top to bottom.

It's just that Zhou Qingbai didn't notice this, and continued to sing the second half of the sentence stubbornly and persistently: "See if I'm still perfect in your heart——"

It can be heard that Zhou Qingbai probably did have this kind of confusion in his heart, so he sang with real emotion and force.

Finally, Pei You couldn't stand this kind of situation a little bit, while bending down to pull Zhou Qingbai's arm, he tried to communicate with him with difficulty: "Zhou Qingbai——"

"You really don't love me." Zhou Qingbai's singing paused, and he looked up at him with a "so true" look: "You actually called me by my full name."

"Qingbai." Pei You changed his words obediently: "Let's go home."

"Then do you like me?" Zhou Qingbai asked eagerly.

Pei You: "..."

Being forced to ask for your feelings in public, even if the other party is a drunk, is enough to make people's ears warm.

"I—" Pei You's ears blushed instantly, but luckily he was concealed by the light.He pursed his lips, feeling a bit embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do with the drunk, so he could only bend down and pull Zhou Qingbai up, coaxing him: "Hi...I like you."
