Chapter 40: Don't be like a child

After saying goodbye to Le Yao for a while, I returned to the attic, opened the door, and found that Robben was sitting on the rooftop, holding a guitar in his hand, but not practicing singing. The messy beer cans around him made him look a little decadent.

I handed him a cigarette, and jumped onto the guardrail, lit the smoke, and listened to the sound of raindrops falling on the awning, like a sob of sadness, sobbing and wet the night, waiting for dawn.

"Why are you depressed again?" I asked with a smile.

Robben ripped open a can of beer and handed it to me, as if only cigarettes and beer were left in our nights, he said, "Every day is depressed."

"Then you're depressed, my buddy, I have decided to be a positive man."

"Really? Don't lift it without being firm."

Although Robben teased me, I didn't care and replied with a smile: "Right up, and I'm firm." He stopped and said seriously: "I've graduated for more than three years, but I still achieved nothing. Looking at the classmates and friends around me, they were busy getting married, and I felt very empty."

Robben nodded without saying anything, but threw away the empty beer can in his hand and took a deep breath of cigarette.

I stood up from the guardrail and shouted at the huge but dark city beneath me, "I'm not going to play anymore. I want to work every day, buy a house, marry a beautiful girl, and when I go home every day, someone talks and someone sleeps..."

Robben suddenly pulled the guitar and hummed out of his mouth with a song "Don't Be stupid". Only then did he realize that Robben was also fucking bad enough!

...

The next day, I came to the company early, and Le Yao also came to our company. I met a manager in charge of marketing. When the manager met Le Yao for the first time, he also praised her image and temperament for being very consistent with Cuuci's product positioning. I don't doubt this. Although Le Yao is often careless in front of us friends, when she enters the work state, she has a noble temperament, noble and fashionable and avant-garde feeling, and a bit of mixed-race beauty. I believe that Le Yao is shooting promotional posters for them, not necessarily because of the sincerity of our department store cooperation. It is mainly because Le Yao is suitable, which just highlights the brand awareness of international first-line brands. They are often very cautious in marketing and promotion.

While i was shooting the promotional poster, i's vice president of China also signed a contract for the on-site cabinet setting with our department store as promised. This signing ceremony was very high-profile, and many media came to the signing site. Our company also took advantage of this signing ceremony to officially announce to the public that Polygon Department Store has strongly entered the ranks of top department stores.

The high-profile signing ceremony was also for the full marketing, warm-up and momentum that I will be responsible for later, so the first real challenge in my life was officially started in the setting up cabinets in our department store.

This night, I was invited by the vice president and several entourage members in China. Of course, as one of the heroes, I also made an exception and was invited. This made me a little flattered. You know, after two years of being a grassroots company, I really didn’t say a few words to the top of the company, let alone having dinner together.

At the banquet, Chen Jingming praised me very much in front of the company's senior management, so that at the end of the banquet, Li Junren, the executive vice president of our Polytechnic Department Store, came to me personally, patted my shoulder and said, "Young man, I remember you."

Of course, this is just to remember that if I want the company's senior management to truly pay attention, I need to seize this rare opportunity and do my best to do this marketing campaign to create value for the company.

...

After leaving the celebration banquet, I went to find Le Yao. She was filming mission and will leave Suzhou tomorrow and return to Hengdian to continue to strive for her acting career.

We sat next to a section of railway tracks, which extended infinitely in the darkness in the direction of the wind, and looked so free, but I knew that maybe the next city was the end of this section of railway tracks.

A green train that is hard to see is carrying a group of people who look so lonely, hurriedly passing by our eyes, leaving only some light and shadow and smell.

Le Yao sat beside me wearing very thick clothes, and there was a distance between us. This distance made us look more and more like friends.

I tucked my clothes, lit a cigarette, and said to Le Yao: "Go back to the crew, don't let others bully you anymore."

Le Yao hugged her knees with both hands, looked at another passing train in a daze, and nodded for a long time and said to me, "Well... you must work well too."

"Well... Actually, I feel quite guilty. Because my affairs have caused you so much grievance. When I can't sleep these days, I always want to hit that actress."

Le Yao smiled and said, "Don't be like a child. Actually, I don't want to think about this anymore."

"Then what are you thinking?"

"I don't think about anything, I feel sad if I think too much."

I agree with Le Yao's words, but can she really do it? At least I often take my soul imprisoned by my flesh and blood to think randomly, and the more I think about it, the more I feel, the more painful it becomes.

After each was silent for a long time, I took out an envelope from my bag beside me and handed it to Le Yao and said, "This is your reward this time, a total of 10,000 yuan, please click it."

"Why are there so many?"

"Our manager said that as long as you can take time to participate in the shooting this time, he is willing to pay three times the reward. Take it, it's what you deserve." I said and handed the envelope to Le Yao's hand.

Le Yao took the envelope and stuffed it into her handbag. After that, we continued to silence until we left, but saw many trains whizzing by with the sound of the wind.

...

On the way back, it was just past 10 o'clock. In fact, Le Yao and I didn't sit on the side of the railway track for too long, but my heart traveled far away with the speeding trains and couldn't even collect them.

When I returned to my residence, I found that Robben had not gone to the bar tonight because when I was about to open the door, a woman's panting came from the house. It might be the Lily I brought back last time, or it might be another woman.

I was embarrassed to disturb me, but I had nowhere to go. I sat downstairs for a while and finally remembered that I had promised Mi Cai to help her get rid of the corpses of the cockroaches a few days ago. It would be better to help her do it now.

I called Mi Cai and she told me that she had been waiting for me to get rid of the cockroaches in the old house, so she still lives in Liu'an Jingyuan.

I told her that I had time to solve the problem now, and she immediately said that she also had time now, so we rushed to the old house from both directions of the city at the same time.
