Chapter 60: The Fork in Life
When I arrived at Zhuomei Shopping Center, I entered a cafe called "Sea View Coffee", but I didn't order anything because it was a paid first sea-themed coffee shop, and the drinks inside were very expensive, so of course I had to wait for Micai to come first.
After choosing an empty location, sending the name of the coffee shop to Mi Cai in a text message, I found a fashion magazine to pass the time and spend the boredom. The sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window was getting darker, and the lights on all the lights blurted the city covered by autumn rain. So I put down the magazine and listened to the sound of raindrops hitting the window in a daze...
Mi Cai walked into the store for some reason. She sat down opposite me, looking at the empty tabletop and asked, "Why don't you order something?"
"It's too expensive. A pot of oolong tea costs more than 200 yuan. The owner of this store is so shady!"
Mi Cai ignored my complaints and called the waiter to ask me for a pot of oolong tea, and ordered a cup of cappuccino himself.
I savored this pot of more than 200 tea, but didn't taste any special taste. So I even more certain that the boss was a profiteer, but I didn't think that he had a low level of consumption.
I drank a cup of tea before looking at Mi Cai who was stirring coffee with a spoon and asked, "You don't look so in good spirits. Have you been very tired recently?"
"Slightly tired!" Mi Cai said as she subconsciously rubbed her temples.
I raised my eyebrows and smiled, "Look, you're shooting yourself in the foot, you said you tried so hard to kick me out, otherwise I'll still have the ability to take care of your daily life and ensure that you can be comfortable in serving you."
Mi Cai frowned and said in a cold tone: "Zhaoyang, don't joke like this with me."
"You are just a little bit wild. I said that you don't have to take care of your daily life. You don't have to be your boyfriend or husband, right? You're a male nanny. I don't mind being your male nanny!"
Mi Cai was speechless by me. After a while, she said "boring" and ignored me anymore. She still stirred up the coffee in her cup, but she had a thoughtful expression.
After a while, I drank a pot of oolong tea and felt hungry, so I called the waiter and asked for a pasta salad. I also worked diligently to order a tiramisu for Micai. Of course, the one who paid for Micai was still the one who paid.
I don't mind getting a woman's advantage. She is much richer than me. I just spend her money to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor, reconcile the main contradictions in society, and build a harmonious society.
I quickly ate a plate of pasta salad, then took out the scarf from my backpack and handed it to Micai.
Micai took the scarf and glanced at my Ruikedas' backpack inadvertently, and a smile couldn't help but appear on her face.
I said dissatisfiedly: "What's so funny? This is just my entertainment spirit. Ruikedas and women's backpacks, do you dare to use them?"
Mi Cai shook her head and signaled that she didn't dare. She took out the scarf from the bag and looked at it. She seemed to like it very much, and said to me: "It's pretty!"
"That's right, my mother's best knitting thing in her life!"
Mi Cai nodded and then put the scarf into her handbag, but she did not rush to leave. Her expression was a little relaxed than before. She held her chin and looked at the world outside the floor-to-ceiling window, which was wet by rain but illuminated by neon lights.
I wasn't very willing to leave, and I followed Mi Cai to look out the window, watching the neon lights as prosperous times, and then set off so depressingly.
At about 9 o'clock in the evening, Mi Cai and I said goodbye at the coffee shop. She drove towards the old house in the light and shadow of the city, while I walked in the autumn rain to avoid fallen leaves and walk towards the newly rented apartment.
...
After a night, the sky was no longer cloudy. It was a sunny morning. Although I had insomnia all night after listening to the sound of rain last night, I still got up in the morning.
On the morning after the rainy night, the sun seemed to have a hint of coldness. The wind clamored and blew the fallen leaves on the ground. I bought a pack of soy milk and a few steamed dumplings at the breakfast shop downstairs, and ate it while walking.
I threw the finished bag into the trash bin and looked up and found that there were so many pedestrians walking by me around me. I seemed to have become still and had no connection with this city.
Enduring the cold of the wind, I stood alone for a long time, and finally took out the letter from my pocket that was about to be given to Chen Jingming. A helplessness of walking at the forks of life spread out in my heart again.
I completed this promotion plan yesterday. No matter what the final implementation result is, I have tried my best to give this plan, which can be regarded as the final explanation to Chen Jingming.
When I arrived at the company, it was almost nine o'clock. After I checked in as usual, I came to the office where I had worked for nearly three years and sat in the office with my own mark. My mind was empty and I just waited for Chen Jingming to come to the company and then found a suitable time to submit the resignation to him.
A little while later, Fang Yuan also came to the company. He put down his briefcase and looked radiant. He seemed to be in a good mood, but his appearance made me feel guilty, but I had nothing to do. I did it or not. I could only say sorry for Fang Yuan and Chen Jingming.
Fang Yuan asked me to go to the rest room to make coffee. I nodded and picked up the cup and walked towards the rest room.
The two of them made a cup of coffee and found a corner to chat.
Fang Yuan put the coffee cup on the windowsill and patted my shoulders, excitedly but whispered: "Zhaoyang, reliable news, after this promotion is over, we will receive an appointment notice. I will serve as the deputy manager of the planning department. You take my place as the leader of the planning copywriting team!" He stopped and looked at the sunshine that fell on the blinds and was blown by the wind and said sighing: "Our brothers have been struggling in this city for two years and finally have a place... Life will definitely get better and better, right, Zhaoyang?"
I felt sad in my heart. I didn't know how to respond. After a long time, I smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe."
"Why are you so calm? Are you not excited at all?"
"I am indifferent to fame and fortune, and then it shows how philanthropic you are!" Fang Yuan and I made a bitter joke. In fact, I am not indifferent to fame and fortune. If I can really become the leader of the planning copywriting team, I must be excited, but now I am ready to submit my resignation to Chen Jingming, so why are you still excited?
While talking, Chen Jingming's female assistant found Fang Yuan and me and said that Chen Jingming asked us to go to the manager's office.
Fang Yuan said he would go immediately, but I had a bad premonition in my heart. Perhaps Mi Cai had used the past few days to dismantle Mi Zhongde's conspiracy. Under the chain reaction, Chen Jingming's plan might have been lost.
...
Fang Yuan and I immediately went to Chen Jingming's manager's office. Chen Jingming, who was sitting on the office chair, rarely lit a cigarette for himself, and his face looked very ugly.
Fang Yuan was very puzzled, and I already knew what would happen next.
