Chapter 414: Ignored
After Mi Cai and the woman in red left, I felt like I was trapped at the event. In fact, I didn’t like this kind of overly formal occasion, but Jian Wei and Yang Congrong were different. As shareholder representatives, they gave grand speeches at the later media meeting. They were born good at shopping malls and easily pushed the entire opening ceremony to the best. The flash that kept jumping on the scene was the best proof.
With the end of the luncheon and the company's opening ceremony, I returned to my office, opened all the windows, letting the sunlight fall on my desk without any obstacles, and began to process some more formal documents after the establishment of the company. This is the biggest difference from the past. I lacked some freedom to come and go, but my career was developing in a formal and organized direction.
After spending a few hours reviewing some reports and planning projects, I gathered all the members of the company to hold a development exchange meeting. Although the company currently has only 18 people, they are all top workplace elites drawn from their company by Jian Wei and Yang Congrong. Although I was hosted by the meeting, most of the time I spent learning from them, learning how to make products, how to manage, and how to coordinate the development of a company.
At the end of the meeting, it was just the time to get off work. Liu Yishan, the marketing manager and former deputy manager of Jianwei Advertising Company, said to me: "Mr. Zhao, should we hold a friendship dinner with Mr. Jian's Simei Advertising tonight? In this city, our two companies are also brother companies!"
I thought about it and replied, "Next week, haven't you just had dinner together today at noon!"
Ruan Hua, the deputy general manager who was transferred from Yang Congrong Company to assist me, said again: "Mr. Zhao, the meaning of treating them to dinner next week is different from today's invitation. From the establishment and operation of our company, Mr. Jian and her advertising company have put too much effort into it. We should invite them on the first day of opening, so that we can express our sincerity in gratitude!"
Liu Yishan echoed: "Mr. Zhao, that's what it means."
I was reluctant, but I also understood that this was the rules of the mall, and it was even more difficult to refute the face of Ruan Hua and Liu Yishan. Finally nodded and said, "Then you can arrange it."
Liu Yishan smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, you must call this phone number yourself."
After all, I am so familiar with Jian Wei, but now I am so kind of polite, which makes me feel a little strange, but I still took out my cell phone and then called Jian Wei's phone number. After a while, Jian Wei answered.
I asked, "Hey, your company won't work overtime tonight, let's have a meal together."
Jian Wei seemed to be in a good mood and said with a smile: "You also know how to call me and invite our company to have dinner! Since Mr. Zhao is so dedicated, even if I have to work overtime, I have to make an exception."
I coughed, then walked to another corner and lowered my voice and said to Jian Wei: "Well, can we try to shorten the time for the party? I'm quite busy this night."
"What are you busy with?"
My voice lowered: "Teacher Wei just called me and said that there was a good university teacher to introduce me. I agreed at eight o'clock, and you said I couldn't let the girl's pigeons go."
Jian Wei's tone immediately became unhappy: "Zhaoyang, what are you thinking about all day?"
"I can't have some private time yet. Besides, I did these things without affecting my work. Do you need such a big opinion?"
"Then forget it, your personal emotional matter is heavy, and the matter of having dinner together is light. I can't delay you..."
Before Jian Wei finished speaking, I interrupted: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, President Jian for understanding the righteousness. I owe this meal first, I will definitely invite you another day!"
"No blessing to be relieved!"
Jian Wei hung up the phone as she said that. I didn’t have any special emotions. I always felt that I was too familiar with Jian Wei. There was no need to make a big deal of a meal. So I went back to everyone and said, “I just called Mr. Jian. She doesn’t have much time. I’ll invite her again someday.”
Ruan Hua and Liu Yishan were a little disappointed, but they smiled and said, "We should do what we should do. If you don't have time, just forget it. You will always have the opportunity to have a meal together to express your gratitude!"
.........
I drove the Audi A6 that the company provided for me. I walked aimlessly on the street, then bought a spicy cold crust on the side of the road, sat in the shade of the tree and ate it. Then I waited for the passage of time and went to the date Wei Manwen arranged for me at 8 o'clock.
In fact, I couldn't say that I was expecting it. I just regarded marrying and having children as a task at this stage. I had doubted whether this approach was right or not. However, seeing that everyone around me had belonging, I subconsciously felt a pressure of following herds. I couldn't resist this pressure, especially after Mi Cai went further and further.
The time finally came to 7:30, and I drove to Wei Manwen's residence. After 15 minutes, the two of them came to the agreed coffee shop and chatted while waiting, but they did not talk about the girl who was about to date me, but just talked about some of the recent situations of Robben's participation in the talent show.
It was already eight o'clock, and the girl had not arrived yet. I finally asked Wei Manwen: "Teacher Wei, is this girl reliable? It's been 15 minutes since then!"
"I'll call and ask."
I nodded, and Wei Manwen immediately dialed the phone, chatted for a while, hung up the phone, and said to me with apologies: "Zhaoyang, sorry, Teacher Ji can't come at the moment..."
"What's the matter?"
"She didn't make it clear!"
"Haha, why don't you call and confirm it, and let us wait so stupidly!"
"Maybe it's an urgent matter."
I didn't care too much, but suddenly I felt a little sorry for Jian Wei. I remembered that as long as I needed it, she would appear in front of me as soon as possible, giving me help and comfort. In the past, we were even more tired of being together all day long and never gave me the loss of being ignored. Sometimes I also wondered, if she did not accept Xiang Chen's confession at the moment she came back from the United States, would we still be able to go back to the past?
Until now, I still believe that she is the woman I have loved deeply, but we have deviated too far from it over the years!
I remembered Mi Cai again. Even when we were in love, she was often busy with work and didn’t have time to take care of me too much, but she still would still be during her period. In order not to disappoint me, she would eat the cold ice cream in winter and chat with the Trojan sitting in front of the convenience store. She never ignored the promised date like this teacher Ji.
At this moment, I really realized why Jian Wei said that I was trying to control myself. Could it be that I really hope that a woman I had never met would take care of her vulnerable manly dignity like her first love? It is purely normal for such a pigeon to be released!
I finally lit a cigarette and said to Wei Manwen: "Teacher Wei, I'll order you something, so let's talk again."
