8 -Â Why did she hear a sense of impatience in these two words?
When Cheng Li came out of the shower, there was a thunder outside the window.
Summer in the south is always so rainy, and soon the sound of rain falling outside seemed to cover up all the sounds in the world.
Cheng Li wiped her hair with a towel and took out her mobile phone.
The more I think about this, the more outrageous it becomes. When did they become friends?
But later, Cheng Li also figured it out.
Because no matter how good her memory is, it's impossible for everyone in the hundreds of people in her circle of friends to remember how to add friends. Besides, Rong Qi has never chatted with her, so it's no wonder that she doesn't remember that there is such a person in her circle of friends.
Cheng Li held her phone and couldn't help it anymore, so she clicked on Rong Qi's circle of friends.
She is not the kind of person who frequently checks Moments, because there are a lot of goods for sale in Moments now.
Advertisements flood the screen, and you often don't see the daily routines shared by others.
When she entered at one o'clock, she saw that Rong Qi's circle of friends was not visible for three days.
It can be seen that what he posted before was basically around Qiyu Technology.
Cheng Li read it from beginning to end and finally found a reason for herself.
He has rarely shared his daily life, let alone selfies, not even vacation photos.
If he had known in advance that this was his circle of friends, Cheng Li would have thought that he was just a social beast who was getting wildly involved in Qiyu.
Just then Meng Yuange called.
As soon as Cheng Li got through, she heard her say in one breath: "Sister, I am guilty, you must spare me first."
"Tell me truthfully what crime you have committed."
Her tone was quite relaxed, Meng Yuange then She said, "Don't you let me scold the mistress before, saying that she might have been deceived by Xu Jiheng."
Cheng Li thought for a moment, and she did say this before.
On the day she learned that Xu Jiheng had cheated on her, she and Meng Yuange were drinking in a bar. Meng Yuange scolded Xu Jiheng bloody and also cursed a few mistresses.
Cheng Li stopped her and told her not to scold the woman first, because she might also be deceived.
Cheng Li had never thought about whether to ask the other party clearly before.
If the other party was also deceived and didn't know that Xu Jiheng had a girlfriend, there was no way he could tell.
"I take this back," Cheng Li said calmly: "She was not deceived. She knows what my relationship is with Xu Jiheng."
When he met Wang Shuyan tonight, Cheng Li knew that the other party was prepared.
He rushed to the restaurant on purpose to embarrass her in public.
"Ah? How did you know?" Meng Yuange was confused by her.
Cheng Li said slowly: "Today our company was discussing financing with Xu Jiheng's company. In the evening, Mr. Ren arranged to have dinner together, so she couldn't wait to rush over. In front of everyone, she took Xu Jiheng's arm."
"Fuck ." "Geez, I can't stand it anymore. What does this woman mean? When a mistress doesn't have the self-consciousness of a mistress, she comes to show off her power in front of you?"
Cheng Li said calmly: "Maybe she is afraid that Xu Jiheng will work with me and that the two of us will still be together." What's the matter?"
"Bah, whoever wants to go to this thing
is disgusting .
Cheng Li stretched out her hand and rubbed her temples. "If I hadn't considered that my colleagues were present at the time, I didn't want the relationship between the two parties to become too tense. I also really wanted to tell her face to face that I was not a trash can and had no interest in recycling garbage."
Both companies were working together. When it comes to cooperation, Cheng Li doesn't want to ruin the cooperation just because of her own whim.
Moreover, financing is too important to the company. If there is a falling out, Ren Kuang will exclude her from the project, and she is afraid that her promotion will also be in vain.
She has worked hard for so long and there is no way she would give up her career for a scumbag.
"Sister, if you do a good job, you have to keep your composure," Meng Yuange thought about it for a moment, and it was indeed the truth.
We are all adults who have entered the society, and we have long passed the age where we can do anything if we just disagree.
If Cheng Li really makes an attack in public, both her boss and her colleagues will think she is not professional enough.
"You haven't said what you did and you want to apologize to me?"
Meng Yuange fell into silence. After a while, she whispered: "Didn't you tell me that you were following the clues of Xu Jiheng's Weibo likes? , and found the woman. So I followed his Weibo to find the woman, and sent a private message to remind her that Xu Jiheng had a girlfriend before. "
As a result, I found out later that this woman directly cheated on me . The trumpet was blocked, and he also posted a particularly weird Weibo post. "
Cheng Li turned on her phone, exited the call, and opened Weibo.
She directly clicked on Wang Shuyan's Weibo from the 'My Frequently Visited' page.
Then I saw Wang Shuyan's latest Weibo, which was a text Weibo
- "Instead of peeking at others in the gutter, it's better to work hard to learn how to improve yourself."
Cheng Li's eyes fell on the last word '?', which was obviously an ordinary person. It was a modal particle, but Cheng Li heard the unspeakable sarcasm and ridicule.
"I was so upset that I even sent a private message to remind her." Meng Yuange said angrily.
The reason why she sent the private message was not just for Wang Shuyan, she wanted to shatter that bitch Xu Jiheng's dream. If it was really him who lied to two girls, telling them the truth would just make them dump Xu Jiheng.
Xu Jiheng's dream of eating soft rice was shattered.
What a joy!
"I don't blame you. Who would have thought that they are a tortoise and a mung bean, and they can look at each other like this." Cheng Li's tone was normal, but if you listen carefully, you can faintly hear that she gritted her teeth slightly with every word she spoke. Feel.
Meng Yuange was moved: "I know my centimeter, and you can definitely understand me."
Centimeter was Meng Yuange's nickname for her, and many of her friends would also call her that.
Cheng Li chuckled: "Of course I won't blame you. You also kindly reminded me."
"I originally thought that if this woman was also deceived, the two of you could join forces to deal with the scumbag," Meng Yuange was speechless. Said: "What do you think about Xu Jiheng? That mistress is from a good family, so why does she insist on stealing someone else's boyfriend? I really can't understand a woman with this kind of brain groove. It doesn't matter that a toad with three legs is hard to find, but two There are not many men with legs."
"Maybe there are some people who just like the feeling of stealing," Cheng Li said expressionlessly.
The two were chatting. Cheng Li originally wanted to tell Meng Yuange about Rong Qi.
But now they haven't even exchanged their horoscopes. She thought about it and decided not to talk about it yet.
If possible later, she would also help Meng Yuange by asking about Rong Qi's interview.
After all, best friends are more reliable than men. If she can help her best friend's career, of course she will do it.
Cheng Li arranged everything properly, locked her phone, and lay down quietly.
But when the room fell into darkness.
Cheng Li closed her eyes, and suddenly an idea hit her head.
Cheng Li sat up suddenly. She took out her phone and opened her circle of friends.
She is really stupid, she didn't realize a problem until now.
Since Rong Qi has always been in her WeChat contacts, he must have visited her Moments.
She seemed to have sent WeChat messages about Xu Jiheng several times before.
Cheng Li is not the kind of person who likes to show affection in the circle of friends.
But Xu Jiheng mentioned it several times before, probably because she felt aggrieved, but she didn't mention him in the circle of friends. So some of the photos Cheng Li posted later were from when the two were dating. Although he didn't show up, he always showed one hand or half of his body.
Since they broke up, Cheng Li has deleted all of them.
But deleting it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
What if Rong Qishu had been there before? Cheng Li couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he thought of this.
She locked her phone again and lay down on the bed.
Thinking of the faces of Xu Jiheng and Wang Shuyan, Cheng Li felt that nothing could trouble her now.
Who hasn't had a failed relationship?
The past is past, the key is now.
In the morning, Ling Shuanghua watched Cheng Li eating breakfast leisurely and wondered: "I usually rush to work in a hurry, but why am I not in a hurry today?"
Cheng Li took a bite of a poached egg and said slowly: "I'm not in a hurry right now. "
From the moment she opened her eyes today, she felt like going to work was like visiting a grave.
What happened last night has probably already spread throughout the company.
The strange thing is that any company group where Cheng Li is present has been particularly quiet since last night.
Normally, this group of people would just swipe the screen in the group if they have nothing to do.
Cheng Li could almost imagine the grand occasion when they were blowing up the screen in another group.
Finally arriving at the company, Cheng Li put her bag on the table and turned on the computer.
After a while, assistant Wang Qingqing came over with a cup of coffee, talking and laughing, but the moment she saw Cheng Li, she stopped the smile on her face.
"Good morning, Sister Lili," Wang Qingqing said with a smile.
But while she smiled, she carefully observed Cheng Li's expression.
"Good morning," Cheng Li looked as usual.
Wang Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, other people in the company arrived one after another. Compared to the usual bustle, there was an unusual quietness today. Everyone seemed to be afraid of saying the wrong thing.
It wasn't until around ten o'clock in the morning that Cheng Li was finishing the progress of the schedule when she was called into the office by Ren Kuang.
Ren Kuang saw her coming in and pointed to the guest sofa in the office: "Sit down."
Cheng Li sat down quietly.
"What's going on between you and Xu Jiheng?" Ren Kuang held it in for a long time, but still couldn't hold it back.
Although this matter is indeed Cheng Li's private matter, Zhuolian Capital, where Xu Jiheng is now, is negotiating with their company for the A+ round of financing.
At present, the two parties mainly cannot agree on the price.
Ren Kuang's valuation of the company is US$100 million, but Zarlink Capital currently only offers RMB 400 million. There is almost half a valuation gap between the two parties.
Fortunately, both sides still have room for negotiation, and the talks have not yet collapsed.
But now something suddenly happened, how could Ren Kuang not worry about it.
Cheng Li said truthfully: "As you can see, after he cheated on her, he got a new girlfriend."
"Bullshit, scumbag." Ren Kuang couldn't hold back and cursed directly.
To be honest, I was quite touched when I heard this. At least Ren Kuang was still on her side.
"I know that the company is discussing cooperation with Zhuo Lian, and I will definitely not let my personal affairs affect the overall situation of the company." Cheng Li said solemnly.
Ren Kuang breathed a sigh of relief: "I was afraid that you couldn't help it. After all, no one can bear this kind of thing. It's best if you can consider this for the company."
Cheng Li: "I'm mainly afraid , Xu Jiheng may have concerns, which will adversely affect our cooperation."
"How dare he!" Ren Kuang slapped the table and said angrily: "Who is he? Although he is responsible for this project. He is not an important figure in Zhuo Lian. If he really dares to take advantage of the opportunity to lower the price and cause trouble for us, I will definitely go to their big boss to make him unable to stay in Zhuo Lian.
" nod.
Ren Kuang said: "He Xu Jiheng is not so stupid. After all, this is his own project. I will also talk to him alone at that time."
At this point, Cheng Li also understood Ren Kuang's position.
In terms of personal emotions, he must be firmly on Cheng Li's side.
But from a business perspective, he hoped that Cheng Li would consider the overall situation and put aside her personal grudges with Xu Jiheng.
After leaving the office, Cheng Li walked to the bathroom.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the cubicle, he heard movement outside.
When it comes to the two places where gossip and rumors gather in the company, the bathroom and the tea room, it is impossible to choose which one is the first.
"I think Cheng Li is awesome. After what happened last night, she still came to work normally."
"Otherwise, she would be the future chief architect of the company."
"Is this really happening? How old is she?"
"Yu Now that the president is gone, not only is she the only one left who can carry the banner, not to mention she is still a direct descendant of Mr. Ren, how much does Mr. Ren value her? "
Two female colleagues, you can talk to each other, don't mention it. What a lively talk.
"What kind of mistress is that Xu Jiheng looking for? He can make Cheng Li fall in love with her."
Cheng Li couldn't help clenching her fists when she heard the word "love. "
"I heard that he is a rich man. Anyway, I heard from my colleagues who had dinner with me yesterday that the woman was carrying a Hermès Birkin bag. From clothes to jewelry, everything is cheap."
"Men are so realistic. In front of rich people, Big beauties have to be eliminated too."
Cheng Li walked out of the cubicle after the two of them finished their discussion.
After washing her hands, she wiped them casually, took out her mobile phone, and sent a WeChat message to Meng Yuange.
[I am now a clown in the company. ]
After returning to her work station, Cheng Li took out her phone and saw a reply on WeChat.
When she opened it, she saw a slightly unfamiliar head with a conspicuous little red dot.
Rong Qi: [? ]
Cheng Li blinked and immediately opened the chat interface between the two of them.
Then, her vision went dark.
The WeChat message she just sent to Meng Yuange was actually sent to Rong Qi by mistake.
Last night, in order to express her importance to Rong Qi, she directly pinned his WeChat account to the top.
The person who topped the list before was always Meng Yuange.
So she habitually clicked on the pinned profile picture and sent the message.
Cheng Li looked at the question mark he sent and fell into deep thought.
After being caught red-handed by him last night and not remembering that he was on WeChat, I told him today that I just sent the wrong message.
Her impression score with him would probably be deducted to minus infinity.
Cheng Li thought about it again and again, poking at the screen with her finger: [My colleagues discussed ordering takeout, but I forgot to order it together. It's hard to have lunch here, so ordering takeout takes at least an hour. ]
She lied without blushing: [That's why I said that about myself. ã
It was definitely not because of some bullshit reason like that.
This time, there was no reply from there.
Cheng Li felt more relaxed.
It wasn't until she was about to get off work at noon that her cell phone rang.
An unknown number.
After Cheng Li connected, she held it between her ear and neck, her fingers still tapping the keyboard, and asked casually, "Hey, who's there?"
"It's me." A cold voice sounded.
boom.
Cheng Li dropped the phone directly to the ground without holding it around her neck.
She quickly bent down and picked it up.
Cheng Li was a little confused and couldn't help but ask, "How come you have my mobile phone number?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to treat me to dinner?" Rong Qi did not answer the question directly.
Cheng Li was even more confused and said subconsciously: "Today?"
She indeed said that when he had thought about it, she would arrange the time and place to have dinner together.
"Now."
Cheng Li blinked, wondering how she could hear the feeling of impatience in these two words.
The author has something to say:
Centimeter, trust your intuition, you are not wrong, he just can't wait.
