There's a mermaid in my bathtub

say what?

What can Chang Hao say?

Jin Sheng thought about it, that guy was beaten to death by Nan Li at that time, if he could say anything, he could only say that the mermaid was scary, but according to Shen Changfeng's personality, he definitely wouldn't believe that nonsense.

Ignoring it, Jin Sheng simply hung up the phone. After the phone was turned off, he lay on his back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling chandelier in a daze.

……

09. After a sleepless night, after dawn, I couldn’t control the consciousness of emptiness, and finally fell asleep. When I woke up again, it was already 30:[-].

Jin Sheng rubbed his eyes to correct his blurred vision when he got up in the morning. After the trance, he turned on the phone.

Today is Monday, which is the day he goes to work.

As soon as the phone was turned on, three missed calls popped up, with different callers and different times.

The world would function without anyone.

The self-mutilation wound on the wrist had scabs, and although it was no longer bleeding, it still looked grim, and half of its arm was red.

After simply cleaning the wound, I hurriedly washed and changed my clothes, and the phone calls were returned one by one, or I was worried or guilty. On Monday, the consequences of missing the morning meeting ended with the deduction of bonuses.

Jin Sheng didn't know how long he stayed in the mermaid world, anyway, he came back at the original time.

For colleagues in this world, it was only a day and a half since the last meeting, but for Jin Sheng, seeing an acquaintance again seemed like a lifetime away.

Arriving late on Monday and absent from the meeting, as the incoming department manager, Jin Sheng received a lot of attention from his colleagues, and many people also cared about most of the gauze wrapped around his wrist.

When you go to the company, you must report to the manager's office and meet your colleagues before you can feel the reality of returning to your own world. After packing up the documents and data that should have been submitted at the meeting, Jin Sheng went outside the manager's office on another floor and found The door was ajar.

After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward and knocked twice, and pushed the door open.

"You're finally here."

Manager Wu didn't raise his head, he kept flipping through a stack of documents, and checked with a black marker pen from time to time: "What's going on this year? The number of absenteeism is more than your internship so far. What's wrong, Jin Sheng, Getting promoted at a young age, bloated?"

It turned out that the door was not closed just waiting for him to come...

After closing the door behind him, Jin Sheng walked in lightly, looking at the boss who took extra care of him, "Sorry, I was slack."

"The promotion result came out early, how many people are looking at you, at this time, you can save me from trouble."

The words were harsh, but Jin Sheng felt very kind, "En." When he answered, his eyes felt a little sore.

After ticking off the last piece of paper, Manager Wu sorted out a stack of documents before raising his head and glaring to warn Jin Sheng, but he was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

"...Maybe I didn't sleep well last night." He smiled awkwardly. The colleague who just nodded his head was surprised and concerned about his appearance. He just thought it was an exaggeration on purpose. He paid attention.

"You lost so much weight after a good night's sleep? Your little face is also quite pale. Are you sick?"

"No, then... Maybe it's because I haven't slept much during the weekend." With a perfunctory smile, Jin Sheng didn't even know what he was like until now when he got home and didn't look in the mirror.

Manager Wu and Jin Sheng hadn't seen each other for two days, and the person who was still alive and kicking on Friday suddenly turned pale twice, as if he had been swollen by water.Jin Sheng didn't have a lot of flesh on his body, but now he's even thinner, losing more than five catties, which doesn't look like the result of only two days of insomnia.

"Forget it." He was really kind to Jin Sheng, so he would ask nonsense. Since he didn't want to talk about it, Manager Wu didn't need to continue. He sighed deeply, and his eyes moved down to Jin Sheng's body wrapped in white bandages. There was a faint redness on the wrist.

Are young people nowadays relying on their good health to harm themselves like this?

"The capital of being young is very limited." Manager Wu shook his head, and couldn't help but give some more words of consolation. Seeing Jin Sheng nodding in response, his expression was blank, and he didn't know if this young man had taken it to heart, "Okay, Jin Sheng , I'm looking for you, and I have business to do."

"I finished the sales report for this quarter last week." Hearing this, he immediately sent the bound document in his hand, "I wanted to give it to you in the morning, but it turned out..."

"Not this." After accepting the document, Manager Wu frowned and said, "Don't worry about this."

"That is……"

"I'm going to the head office early."

"...Go early?" Shouldn't it be next month, or the end of this month?

Jin Sheng was stunned for a while, not knowing what to pick up, so his old leader nodded, "Yes, isn't there a new merger? The head office urged me, so I will leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and go with Zhang Ziyun After we leave, you have to take over, our company has always been the best performer in the branch."

"Sister Zhang is leaving immediately too? Is it too late..."

"There is no way, we will take it according to the arrangement of the higher authorities."

Sighing again and again, Manager Wu also felt that hastily speeding up the turnover of work would cause a lot of trouble, "And you, although I am your leader, I have watched you step by step from the intern, you young heart Sincerity and solid work, the older generation of us all know this. Just because I love you, I want to say a few more private words, Jin Sheng, you... you will be thirty in a few years, right?"

"Yes..." He answered in a low voice, and Jin Sheng almost knew what Manager Wu was going to order.

"At this age, the boss is not young, don't care about men and women, let's find someone to live with, so that no one will know if something happens temporarily, whether it's work or private life, there must be someone to help each other, isn't it?"

This time, he didn't answer any more calls. Manager Wu fell silent, and the office fell silent.

What Jin Sheng is most afraid of hearing and seeing now is parting, but Manager Wu asked him to come here just to talk about this.And... He originally wanted to devote himself to work, but unexpectedly, the people and things here all encouraged him to think of Nanli.

No matter if he deceived himself or others, Jin Sheng really couldn't accept the reality that Nanli was frozen in the tunnel by Yan Bing.He didn't dare to think about it, and even deliberately forgot it, always pretending that that guy was still living in the boundless ocean of another world...

……

Even though he only informed him one day in advance, Jin Sheng was prepared for the departure of the company's old man.

There are a lot of things that need to be handed over, the time is rushed, the dinner that should be due to the personnel transfer has not been held, and the two veterans in the company just left. As the backing of the successor, Jin Sheng also has a suitable reason to decline his acceptance feast.

With a new office and a new position, Jin Sheng's status has also changed.As the youngest official leader, and the new president is an old acquaintance with Manager Wu who is leading Jin Sheng, the people under him all respect him, and he is also called "Boss Jin".

This name sounded awkward, Jin Sheng didn't get used to it for a long time, and the subsequent interpersonal communication and being "fawned up" were all sloppy and perfunctory.He also understood that this approach was inappropriate, and he really didn't have the energy to deal with it.

As if overnight, all sorrows were forgotten. After Manager Wu left, Jin Sheng’s daily necessities returned to normal in an instant. He arrived at the company first every day and devoted himself to work. As long as he is in charge of things, he will not refuse anyone.

As long as you make the most of every second and keep yourself busy, you won't be cranky, take less rest during the day, and sleep on your pillow when you go home at night.

Anyway, Nanli let him live well.

Although I didn't agree, but... let's try hard.

……

Two months passed in a flash.Two months later, when Manager Wu returned to S City due to business, Jin Sheng got the news, and brought his colleagues from the same department to hold a reception banquet for him that he missed last time.

It happened to be Saturday, and it was off in the afternoon. In order not to delay the time and work of both parties, the private room in the hotel was booked at noon, and I went there directly after work. It was not easy to refuse, and people from all departments came.

Rarely lively, many people sat at two tables, chatting in groups of threes and twos, occasionally toasting together, the old leader is the past tense, the new leader does not have so many rules, the atmosphere is relaxed, and most people are happy to drink.

Generally speaking, a week's work is completed, and there is no rigid rule to go to work on Saturday afternoon, but Jin Sheng doesn't plan to go back to his deserted home, and wants to stay in the office for a while, so he doesn't have a few drinks.

The two groups of people sitting in the private room, except for Manager Wu, are not very old, and they have a common language. There are three or two of them, relying on the upcoming weekend, getting excited and yelling to go to the nightclub together.

At noon, which nightclub is open?

Noisy, very lively, Jin Sheng didn't make a sound, didn't disappoint everyone, just drank tea and listened, and finally decided to go to KTV to sing.

"You young people are together, so I won't join in the fun." Jin Sheng glanced at the time on his phone and said slowly when he proposed to count the number of people.

"Ah, ah, Mr. Jin, don't say that! In terms of seniority, you have stayed longer than me, but in terms of age, I am two years older than you!"

The one who took the lead in the organization laughed, cheered by alcohol, and joked boldly no matter if he was familiar with him or his position: "Besides, we're all out, and it's the first group activity. It's Saturday, Mr. Jin, don't you come?" , who will take the lead to lead us!"

"Yeah, Jin Sheng, everyone is here, why don't you follow?" The crowd echoed, Manager Wu, who rarely came back, did not stand by Jin Sheng's side.

"I still have an email that I haven't sent, and I want to go back to the company." With a smile, Jin Sheng glanced at Manager Wu: "Just go and play, if you go back to the company, I can also take a ride with Manager Wu, it would be great ah."

If the email that Jin Sheng said was really important, he would definitely not choose to send it on Saturday when people are distracted and waiting for the weekend.

——It's going to be a holiday, and no one can sit still.

Manager Wu saw it but didn't say anything, he just said, "No wonder you lost weight again, brat."

Even if there is nothing wrong on the surface, and you have guaranteed three meals a day, and you have not treated yourself badly, if your mentality is always negative, your body will be damaged.

No rebuttal, no further talk, everyone responded to the former leader and laughed a few times. In the end, Jin Sheng couldn't be persuaded, and he didn't dare to force him to stay. In addition, there was no leader, and they were all colleagues at the same level, so they could have fun some.

"Oh, it's a pity, but...we'd rather be respectful than obedient."

"Yes, but if Mr. Jin has time, remember to make a call. We are not far away."

……

Nodding and smiling before leaving, Jin Sheng took the elevator with Manager Wu, answering whether there was something or not.

The hotel is not far from the company. Manager Wu drove Jin Sheng all the way and chatted along the way. He heard that the "cold war" between him and his wife was coming to an end. The relationship between husband and wife gradually eased, and her daughter's academic performance also improved...

Just got out of the lively environment, and after listening to what Manager Wu said, Jin Sheng only felt that everything in this world was developing for the better, only he was still trapped in the past, unable to get out, and did not want to go out.

Before getting out of the car, he was told by his elders to "find someone to live with." Manager Wu even mentioned two nice young men, saying that they were very reliable after being inquired by acquaintances.

Hearing this, Jin Sheng smiled helplessly, raised his eyebrows exaggeratedly, made a face at the old leader, and after tactfully declined, warmed his heart for this senior who sincerely thought of him.

Jin Sheng knows how nostalgic he is, and he can't forget Chang Hao's perfunctory treatment for three months. This guy Nanli... will definitely cost him his whole life.

Life is really long, but having such a wonderful and beautiful experience is enough.

Getting off the car and walking towards the company, Jin Sheng lowered his eyes, imagining the wonderful touch of the cool palm caressing the skin, ignoring the bitterness in his heart, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a beautiful arc.

He will be trapped in the shadow of Nanli all his life, but fortunately, he has enough good memories to remember, and he is willing to fall down.

Thinking like this, I entered the courtyard, passed the parking area, and saw a familiar vehicle from a distance, but couldn't remember who it was, until a black leather shoe stepped on the ground, and a familiar person appeared in front of me.

He said, "Jin Sheng, long time no see."

——It's Lin Yi.

The author has something to say:

Hi!Long time no see bamboo horse!
