suboptimal happiness

After chasing out of the vegetable market, there was a straight road in front of the door. Sure enough, Shi Linhao noticed that the little white-collar worker was walking slowly towards the north absent-mindedly.Clutching the paper in his hand, he followed quickly, intending to return the things left behind by the white-collar worker with both hands, but they all walked side by side with this person, and the little white-collar worker didn't even look at him much.Shi Linhao didn't bother him at all, and followed him unhurriedly.

Guan Chengyi entered his community. Although he didn't greet the grandparents downstairs first, the friendly neighbors didn't care about the details, and they still asked "I'm off work" and "Have you eaten yet?"At first, Guan Chengyi replied mechanically that he was off work, but after talking to a few old people, he seemed to wake up mentally, and his feet stopped wandering, and he walked steadily towards his home.Suddenly he stopped, looked down at the two bags in his hand, opened the bag with his left hand to look inside, and then began to touch his body.

A hand stretched out to his eyes, without the file bag, it was just two sheets of paper, Guan Chengzhi moved so quickly that people would mistakenly think he had snatched it, so the next moment he muttered, but he didn't say sorry, but thank you.It was Shi Linhao who took the initiative to make a rescue: "I followed up to pay you back, but you haven't paid attention to me, so you should be thinking about it." He pointed to the two pieces of paper.

"Yeah..." Guan Chengyi still felt depressed and aggrieved, and was not satisfied with the vegetable vendor's indirect admission that he had peeped into his privacy.

"It's actually not a big deal. If you don't want to, just ask your boss to make it clear. Who can force a cow to drink water?"

Guan Chengyi is polite and respectful, and he is not a person with high eyebrows and low eyes. Shi Linhao gave him preferential treatment, and he remembered Shi Xiaofan in his heart.It's just that Shi Linhao crossed the line first, they are almost strangers to each other, so unfamiliar that he shouldn't know the troubles that make Guan sincerely angry and don't want to be known.So the sincerity suddenly lost its calm and sharpness: "You know my boss? Do you know my boss (as a person)?"

"Of course I don't know your boss. It's just that I feel (feeling) that your boss is not sure that you will be cheated. It is normal for you to know that you don't want to. He has already figured out that you shouldn't be so generous. As long as If you don’t tell it, he can still deceive others, and there’s no need to retaliate against you. If he retaliates against you, and you make a fuss about it, he won’t be able to deceive others in the future, and he will suffer big losses.”

Guan Chengyi's heart brightened, and he kept worrying about how he could not get out this time and how not to get retaliation, but he didn't think that if he kept silent, the director would not want to make a big fuss, and as long as he didn't hinder the director's next goal, being silent would be equivalent to repaying the director's favor. The feeling of "seeing from a different perspective".Seeing the light of the predicament, Chengxin felt better, and turned to see Shi Linhao still checking his expression, not knowing whether he was right or not.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner. Thank you for bringing me back." There is a small restaurant at the entrance of the community. Guan Chengzhi doesn't know where the hawkers live. Normally these vegetable vendors don't live in the urban area. It's a bit late to go back and eat at this time.While talking, do not eat more than 40 yuan.

"No, don't bother. Eating restaurants is more expensive than eating at home. Besides, you bought vegetables and eat them fresh. I'll go back." Seeing that Guan Chengyi wanted to go out of the community, Shi Linhao knew that he was going to a small restaurant Well, he eats takeaway all day long, not to mention that he is not very attractive. He also knows that white-collar workers are frugal, so there is no need for him to spend money.

After Shi Linhao finished speaking, he turned around and left without giving Guan Chengyi a chance to be polite. Guan Chengyi said that he was a fool and shouted: "Hey, buddy."

Shi Linhao turned around and waved his hand casually at Guan Chengyi: "Go back, I'm leaving."

"Go to my house to eat, there is no food, that's all." Guan Chengzhi raised the bag in his hand: "It's a regular meal, okay?"

"Success." Guan Chengyi, who was thinking about it, was extremely straightforward, and turned back in a few strides, snatching the vegetables from his hand and carrying them by himself.

The kitchen was too small, and Shi Linhao couldn't help even if he wanted to. The two big men stood together and were so crowded that he couldn't help but go to the bedroom to wait for the ready-made meals.

Looking around Guan Chengyi's bedroom, except for a painting on the wall, the whole room is simple and clean at a glance, so Shi Linhao walked to the painting.

"Did you draw it?"

"Hehe" Guan Chengyi brought in the first dish and didn't answer Shi Linhao directly.His home has not had time to entertain outsiders, so he forgot that there are masterpieces on the wall.

It can be seen that the painting is a floor plan of one bedroom and one living room, which is similar to the advertisements of those sales offices that Shi Linhao has seen, but the virtual and real lines make some parts unclear.

Because of an impromptu meal, Guan Chengyi didn't have anything good in stock, so while cooking, he asked Shi Linhao if he wanted a beer.

"Do you have any at home?"

"There is a small shop downstairs, I'll pick up 2 bottles if you drink it, it's convenient."

"I'll go, you get the food."

Guan Chengyi was not polite, and told him to walk past the location of the small shop in two buildings.Looking at the dishes here, I don't know if there is enough food, so I simply put the small pickles I made on a plate to make up the number.

Guan Chengyi probably never thought that this family would have the opportunity to entertain guests, so he only offered Shi Linhao a cup.

"One bottle per person, I use a bottle." Shi Linhao didn't see a bottle opener, so he easily pried two bottles with chopsticks, and handed one to Guan Chengyi: "My surname is Shi, Shi Linhao."

Guan Chengyi was stunned, and then laughed. He really forgot about the introduction, and he didn't even know his name, so he went home: "Guan Chengyi, caring Guan, honesty, sincerity."

"Shi Shi of charity, Lin Hao of Linzi," Shi Linhao couldn't figure it out: "I won't say it anymore, I don't have much knowledge, Hao of Bai and Su."

"What year is Brother Shi?" Guan Chengzheng went to buy vegetables, Shi Linhao always called him "Brother, don't worry", but in fact he also knew that Shi Linhao should be older than himself, so he just called him politely.

"Just call me Haozi, that's what everyone calls me at home." Shi Linhao didn't seem to care about the homonym of "mouse": "I'm 30."

Guan Chengyi really didn't realize that Shi Linhao was so much older than him. Now that he was born every three years, Haozi was two generations older than him.

Guan Chengyi doesn't like to inquire about people's privacy, and Shi Linhao doesn't seem to be lacking in education because of his lack of education. Although the chats involve some personal issues such as family information and work environment, they all let the flow take their own initiative rather than being dug out.Shi Linhao didn't sympathize with the single parents that Guan Chengyi disclosed, and Guan Chengyi didn't sympathize with the older single young men who came out of the countryside to sell vegetables alone in the city.

Naturally, it is inevitable to talk about Guan Chengyi's two pieces of paper. Anyway, Shi Linhao is completely outside his work circle. Guan Chengzhi candidly explained the cause and effect, and smiled bitterly at his "bad luck".

"So he's not your boss yet, so why worry about it, can't you just work under him?"

"Okay, but before his niece got married, I might not have a good time. Even if I don't tell it, the director will feel awkward when he sees me."

"What's so awkward, he gave you a mental illness, and you should take it? He's not afraid that the mental illness will kill his whole family, so why not let him go."

"Actually, she is more virtuous than many girls. I didn't see it at all." Sincerely commented on Pearl, hating her for getting involved in this shit, but she was also a little pitiful, so I didn't belittle her.

"Then you are married, wait for her to chase you all over the street with a knife." Shi Linhao would not sympathize with the cheater: "Why don't I believe that woman didn't cheat with her uncle."

Guan Chengyi laughed: "She has epilepsy, it's not that exaggerated."

"Tch", Shi Linhao swallowed a sip of wine: "I can read, your paper says that her father may have been hacked to death by her mother's illness, and she has an illness even if she is not in college."

Guan Chengyi was completely speechless. The information given by Zhang Fan’s girlfriend was too stimulating. Some old people said that Pearl’s father died at the hands of her mother, and everyone in the savings bank knew that Pearl did not have a college diploma. Let her leave as soon as possible.As for what exactly happened in the university that induced Pearl's epilepsy, or whether it was due to genetic factors, no one is clear.However, according to the legend, Uncle Pearl regarded her as his own child, but Aunt Pearl firmly disagreed with Pearl living with them, which enriched the rumors and conjectures.

This is not a good topic, and the two quickly changed the direction of chatting.Guan Chengyi refused Shi Linhao's thanks for washing the dishes, but he didn't let him sit idle and went to the balcony to water the spider plants.Suddenly thinking of the painting on the wall, Shi Linhao went back to the painting and stared at it for a moment, as if he understood something, the corner of the mouth of the man who washed the dishes twitched.

No matter how thoroughly Guan Chengzhi thought about that night, he knew that the predicament could be solved, but it is impossible to have a perfect plan, and he would be a little bit embarrassing when he got away with it, so he didn't sleep peacefully.On Thursday, he took the time to knock on the door of the leader directly, expressing his desire not to change positions.He can also be regarded as a motivated, hardworking and well-performed subordinate. How could the leader not want him to stay, but he still answered verbally in a bureaucratic way: he still has to obey the leader's arrangement.As for when to obey, who knows which leader to obey.

On Friday, Guan Chengxin took the initiative to call Wu Zimu. After the last Friday, his identity as "Chenglong Kuaishou" was also exposed to Zimu and Lu Yi.Zimu said that the director didn't go out today, and sure enough, he asked Zimu to bring the car back at noon.Because of the sincere confession in advance, Zimu called to inform his sincerity before driving over.I took half a day off and sincerely came to the development zone to see the director.

Because he didn't want to drag Wu Zimu into this muddy water, he simply kept him ignorant, so he had dinner with Zimu and returned to the branch with Zimu after receiving the director's car keys.Of course the director had his own office, and when he saw Guan Chengyi knocking on the door, even though it was strange, he waved him happily to take a seat, and handed him a bottle of mineral water.

"Director, thank you for your kindness, but my mother thinks that I am immature and advises me not to deal with personal issues so early." Guan Chengyi cut to the chase.

"You are not young anymore, you are married late at 24, does your mother think that Pearl is an orphan? How about I talk to your mother, as parents, we can communicate easily and understand each other."

"It's too much trouble for the director, I'm a little ashamed." Guan Chengyi had planned long ago, and said everything through his mother's mouth. It's better for peers to dismiss than the junior himself: "Actually, my mother said that Pearl is a good girl. Blessed to be the director's daughter, the director will definitely be able to choose a suitable husband for Pearl, and told me not to delay Pearl's marriage."

The director stared at sincerity sensitively, and his expression became serious.Sincerely push the car key to the director.

"You know," the three words do not seem to be doubtful, not certain, but ambiguous.

"I know Pearl is very virtuous, and there should be someone who treats her sincerely." Thinking about his words sincerely, he wanted the director to feel that he was just a normal reaction of ordinary people, at least not malicious or too hypocritical, or that he had to The imaginary element is also justifiable with good intentions.

The director looked at Guan Chengyi and sighed for a long time, then nodded: "I see, you can go back."

Guan Chengyi on Saturday, because of Director Yang's love, there is no shift schedule for these two weeks on Saturdays, so he stays at home in a low mood and doesn't know that the play with himself as the protagonist has already opened on Friday afternoon.After the meeting ended on Monday morning, Guan Chengyi still felt a little weird. He attributed it to the leader announcing that he would leave the counter of the Union Bank and return to his previous position.Because according to the original plan, he would be transferred after studying with Lao Gu, so the leader did not add an extra table to Lao Gu, but only added a chair to the side.

When there were few people around, Lao Gu beckoned him to come over and asked him to pull the chair in, and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever dated Director Yang's niece in the development zone?"

Guan Chengyi was shocked, tongue-tied, and shook his head: "During our training, I helped the director drive him home. I only met his niece once at the director's mother's house."

"You went to inquire about what other people are doing, and you understand that you are doing something stupid. What will you do in the future? Are you still messing around?"

Guan Chengyi, who is a bit shrewd, has already realized the seriousness of the situation, but he doesn't even know the basic situation.

"Brother, I don't understand at all what you're talking about, can you give me a simple word?"

"Everyone knows about Director Yang's house now. You forgot it in the copier. Didn't I say you, what are you doing?"

Lao Gu was the one who met Director Yang showing his kindness to Guan Chengyi. As soon as he met the director at the training place, he guessed the reason for Guan Chengyi's change.It is presumed that sincerity and willingness to climb along the pole are all understandable. It is not shameful for young people to seize opportunities.The only thing I don't agree with is that even if Guan Chengyi inquired about someone's back, he shouldn't expose his faults, let alone save face for the director, and he couldn't do such a stupid thing for himself.

Guan Chengyi couldn't concentrate on his work at all, so Lu Yi dragged him to the opposite side for fast food when he was on his lunch break.

"Is that true? On Saturday, Qingqing and I were picking out furniture. I only heard this morning that Lao Gu called you over. What did he say?"

"I'm one and two big now, and he keeps throwing bombs and bombs." Guan Chengyi didn't dare to say anything casually about this matter, just now he was reluctantly thinking about the key point - whoever puts it in the copier is the one who framed him .According to Gu, the paper was left in the copier on Friday and was found by shift workers on Saturday.

But the things Zhang Fan’s girlfriend brought arrived on Wednesday, and someone copied them after he asked for leave on Friday? 2 pieces of paper, the first one is called by my own name, the content is that Pearl’s parents and Pearl were adopted by the director (real name), the second one wrote uncertain news: Pearl University had a disease, epilepsy may have a history of genetic diseases, And look at her uncle and aunt's attitude... According to Lao Gu's retelling, it was the first one in the copier.

He stabbed himself so nakedly, but Guan Chengyi didn't know who the enemy was.He has no background, as long as he does not infringe on the interests of others, there are no conflicts with everyone in the unit, and there is always harmony among colleagues.Even if he is likely to change and get a good opportunity this time, he will transfer out the vacant position in this branch to others, and no colleague will lose because of it.Being able to do such things that harm others and benefit oneself can only be jealousy.

Guan Chengyi couldn't eat at all, and Lu Yi couldn't eat it either: "Why don't you discuss it with Zimu?"

"No, he doesn't know about it at all."

"He also does bad things with good intentions. I don't know clearly."

Guan Chengyi heard that Lu Yi pointed out that Zimu was building a bridge between himself and the director. In good conscience, he would not dare to pat his chest to ensure that Lu Yi was fine: so he had to be cautious: "It's nothing else, and it's just inexplicable."

"What's the matter, don't you know it yourself?"

"Of course I don't know. I'm still wondering why there is such a letter." The only way Guan Chengyi can think of for the time being is to be stubborn.

"Everyone is talking about you breaking up with Director Yang's niece because they suspect that her mother is sick."

"How do I know if her mother is sick? Even if her mother is sick, she is not sick." Guan Chengyi said this on purpose. At least in the future, these words will reach Director Yang's ears, and he will try his best to protect Pearl: "Besides, I I hardly know his niece, I just helped the director drive once."

"You two don't have a date?"

"I'm still a lot short of the loan." Guan Chengyi wanted to slap the table: "Besides, she is older than me, and when I repay the loan, she will be an old girl."

"Are you really out of place?"

"Really, Brother, Brother Lu," Guan Chengyi said with sorrow, "Let me tell you the truth, the director thinks I'm okay but his niece didn't like me, so I don't know if Director Yang will die of anger, just lie down They were all shot. Last week, he helped the director deliver things home, and his niece turned around and told the director that it was inappropriate for me to be too young. Didn’t you hear that I don’t need to be a joint bank this morning?”

"Yes." Guan Chengyi will return to his original form only if the marriage fails.
