Chapter 384: The Most Loyal Friend
After finishing the call with Jian Wei, I stopped a taxi and drove towards her company. It took about 20 minutes to reach my destination. Because it was almost 10 o'clock, there were basically no employees in the company at this time, only the lights in the design department and the general manager's office were still on.
Jian Wei seemed to hear my footsteps. When I got closer, she had already opened the office door and urged me: "Hurry up, hurry up, it's 10 o'clock, our design director is still waiting for you, and they also have a family life."
I nodded, speeded up and walked into the office. The design director stood up to greet him. I held his hand apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
The design director smiled and said, "It's okay for me. Mr. Jian, I've been busy until now. Let's try to shorten the discussion time later, so that Mr. Jian will eat the meal quickly."
I looked at Jian Wei. She didn't look very good. She had a few acne on her flawless face. It must have been caused by staying up late for a long time. In fact, compared to Mi Cai, her persistence in work is even more than that of Mi Cai.
I nodded and said to the design director: "Okay, then we'll do it as soon as possible."
The designer responded with a smile, then handed me a colored design pattern. I finally put away the upset emotions and looked at it carefully. Then I had a more in-depth exchange with the design director for his positioning and construction direction of Luku Company, hoping that he could make some improvements in details.
When we finished the exchange, it was already 11 o'clock late at night, and the designer left the company before us. Only Jian Wei and I were left in the huge office.
Jian Wei brought a box of pizza and a bowl of almond porridge from the service desk and put it on the coffee table. She asked me, "Do you want something?"
In fact, until this time, I didn’t have dinner, but I still said to Jian Wei: “You eat, it’s quite late. I’ll go back first, and you will go back early after you finish eating.”
"When I just talked about the plan, I heard your stomach growling hungry. I don't understand. Is it interesting to be so holding you? Or are you afraid that I will poison you in the pizza?"
I'm a little embarrassed...
Jian Wei said again: "I can't eat such a large box of pizza, so let's eat it together, so you have to go out to eat later."
I stopped being pretentious and sat down on the sofa. Jian Wei immediately divided her pizza with me, and then the two of them started eating each other in silence...
A little later, Jian Wei handed her porridge to me and said, "You are so dry when you eat like this. Take a sip of porridge to moisten your throat."
I shook my hand and signaled that it was okay...
Jian Wei looked at the mouth of the bowl, and there was a mark of her lipstick on it. She immediately understood and shrugged and said, "I forgot that we both had a day where we could eat a box of ice cream and drink a bowl of porridge together, so you can continue to carry it, I won't think you are pretentious!"
"Just run me!"
"Did I run you?"
I said nothing, put the last small piece of pizza in my mouth, then took a disposable cup, went to the water dispenser to pick up some water, and then prepared to leave after drinking it in one breath, but the anxious look made Jian Wei feel dissatisfied and said to me: "Zhaoyang, don't you think you're too deliberate? ...Is it true that for you now, except Mi Cai, other women are all beasts?"
I replied subconsciously: "Yes!"
This answer was completely out of true feelings, but Jian Wei glared at me and said for a while: "Do you think you are strange now? ...From the perspective of a bystander, I tell you, Zhaoyang, you are now sick!"
I looked at Jian Wei, not knowing what to say for a while, but I felt sad for myself, because I also felt a little sick, but even if I was sick, I still made this love that I cherished very much in danger.
Jian Wei looked at me, sighed, and said softly: "I have heard of some recent events about Le Yao, including the things that have implicated you... I can understand your current worry, but I also want to remind you not to affect your rising career because of this matter... You are a man, and career is the last reliance of a man. It will give you a sense of fulfillment when you are empty, and when you are frustrated in other things, it will give you material confidence... So don't give up your career anyway, because career is the most loyal friend of a man!"
This time I finally heard Jian Wei's words, nodded and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I will remember it!"
"Well, Uncle Yang Congrong, I am really optimistic about the project of Literary and Art. This time I have used the precious network resources he has accumulated in the mall over the years. I hope you don't let him down, and... don't let me down, okay?"
"I will adjust my condition as soon as possible."
......
When Jian Wei and I walked out of her office, the whole city seemed to be in a deep sleep. The bright moon hung in the sky with some loneliness, and then transmitted this unknown loneliness to the underground bell tower. So the "tick" sound of the bell tower was more like a helpless remark...
Just as I was about to say goodbye to Jian Wei, a parked Land Rover in front suddenly roared the flute. Jian Wei squinted her eyes, looked at the lights, and said to me: "It's Xiang Chen's car."
"Has he returned from abroad?"
"Well, I came back a few days ago."
I nodded. Although being with Jian Wei in the middle of the night would inevitably lead to misunderstandings, I did not leave immediately, because leaving is more likely to cause misunderstandings.
Xiang Chen got out of the car and came to Jian Wei and me. Although he had a smile on his face, he asked in an unhappy tone: "Why are you together? It's almost 12 o'clock."
Jian Wei frowned and said, "What do you mean by asking this?"
Xiang Chen's tone suddenly weakened, with a helpless smile on his face, and he replied: "Vivi, don't think too much, I have no other intentions."
Jian Wei ignored it, so he looked at me again, as if he wanted to get an answer from me that would make him feel at ease.
I used to hand him a cigarette and explained: "I plan to set up a company recently. The Vi part was handed over to Jian Wei's advertising company. It happened to be a sample today, so come and have a look."
Xiang Chen nodded, and Jian Wei still asked in a rushing tone: "What are you doing with me so late? ... Also, aren't you tired of being so suspicious all day long?"
"Look, you misunderstood again. I'm here now to pick you up from get off work. You've been busy for such a day and now you're so late. It's so unsafe to drive!"
