detour

Zhuang Shaodong really disappeared from Xu You's life circle.

For a long time, every one or two days under the banner of inspecting work, he went to the factory for a walk, had a small meeting, and then nestled in Xu You's office to listen to his report on work... Even if everyone on earth knows that Zhuang The drunkard's intention is not to drink, and he can't stand the reason for his appearance too legitimate.

Xu You never thought that a living person would disappear as soon as he said he disappeared, as if the two people's life circles had never intersected in the first place.Sometimes, he would also think of the sentence he overheard standing outside the private room of the hotel: "Although Xu You and I are currently colleagues, I have to find an excuse if I want to see him..."

When hearing these words for the first time, Xu You felt that Zhuang Shaodong was not ordinary hypocrisy.What does it mean to make excuses even after meeting each other?He is the big owner of the project, and his own short-term laborer runs errands for him. Isn't this a relationship between looking up and seeing down?But now, Xu You felt that the hypocritical person might be himself.

There are some things that he takes for granted, so he never thinks deeply about what is under the surface.Zhuang Shaodong is the owner of the Zhuang family, and Longsheng is just a branch of the Zhuang family. How could he stay in Longsheng all day long?What's more, he still has to do his own business secretly...

It must be very busy.Xu You thought to himself, when I saw Zhuang Yupei before, I always felt that his feet didn't touch the ground. Only recently, because he often stayed in Longsheng, he looked a little more relaxed.After all, how much did he know about Zhuang Shaodong?In the beginning, it was because of resentment, but Xu You could dodge as far as he could in anything related to him.Later, Zhuang Shaodong began to show a certain kind of affection for him. He had already stood at the top of the food chain between the two of them, so naturally he was too lazy to think about Zhuang Shaodong's thoughts.

After all, didn't that subtle sense of superiority come from Zhuang Shaodong's connivance?

It's so shallow.

I think I have seen so many people who are so sophisticated in the world, why are they so superficial?Xu You felt an indescribable disappointment in herself.He felt like he shouldn't be like this.But what he should look like, he couldn't tell at all.

Perhaps, he should have acted more calmly during the showdown.Don't be so blunt and sharp, try to say something that means the same, but sounds more open-minded.For example, you are a very good person, but I am so-and-so, or your conditions are naturally better than mine, but your personality and so on...

Xu You rubbed his face, suddenly feeling uninterested.

What should have happened had already happened, and he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.What's the point of thinking about the past over and over again now?

In his plan, he wanted to get rid of all the burdens that fate imposed on him, pack lightly, and start his life anew.But when he really got rid of everything that he marked as "obsolete", he found that the goal in the plan was still shining brightly in front of the road, but he had no motivation to move forward.

Xu You didn't know what was wrong with him, so he was at a loss like never before.

On the surface, Xu You's life has returned to the pattern before he met Zhuang Shaodong: go to work, get off work, go home and continue to work overtime, occasionally go to Huang Haitao's bar on weekends, and drink two Coca-Cola that don't pay the bill.As usual, he asked Chen Shu to drive for him, driving him back and forth between several projects in the island city, working overtime day and night, as if he would never tire.

The project manager who was vacant in the company was also filled by Xu You.It wasn't the cronies recommended by several company veterans, but Xu You picked out an unknown seedling named Hong Sheng from a bunch of minions after searching through the resumes of the technical department.Hong Sheng was less than two years older than Chen Shu, and he was so taciturn that he had been in Jifeng for four or five years, and there were still people who had never heard him speak.

The veterans of the technical department went to Meng Feng's office to protest, saying that although Hong Sheng's work ability is good, is it too child's play to put a practical technical talent in charge of management?Minister Xu's technology is good, everyone on this earth knows, but not every person with excellent technology is suitable for a leadership position like him...

Meng Feng has always turned a blind eye to Xu You's arrangements, and now he said haha ​​to the seniors one by one: the child has a sincere personality, so we can rest assured that the honest child will be sent to a foreign project... …What?Only know how to work?If you don't know how to work, how can you manage the work of your subordinates?If you put a bear bag up as a manager, and the workers below trick him into tricks, he won't be able to see it, that's fine... yes, yes, you have to be reliable... you know, you know, isn't this just exercise ...We want to provide a platform for young comrades to display...

After coaxing away the protesting army, Meng Feng turned around and rushed into Xu You's office, slapping the table and questioning him, "What do you think about Hong Sheng? He's only 24! When did our company have such a young project manager?" A child at this age is full of excitement. He has been working on the project for a few years, and he knows all the inside stories in the company. When the time comes, he will jump to the rival company... Where are we going to cry?!"

Xu You flipped through the documents and asked him unhurriedly, "What's wrong with 24? I'm already the chief engineer of Sanjian at 24."

Meng Feng was angry, "Do you really think Hong Sheng can do it?"

"I asked you that..." Xu You smiled, "Don't you trust me?"

Meng Feng stared at him for 2 minutes, then slammed the door and left through gritted teeth.After Xu You dragged Hong Sheng to work several night shifts in a row, Hong Sheng took office and went to Guangzhou without saying a word.Guangzhou Refining & Chemical is the farthest among all the projects of Mengfeng Company, and the working hours abroad are long, so the people in the company never like to go there.But they couldn't stand the huge profits, so the elites in the marketing department complained and complained, and the Guangzhou project was still accepted year after year.

Two years after Hong Sheng took office, the Guangzhou project became the Guangzhou branch.Every year at the end of the year, project managers from all over the country return to Beijing to report on their work... Oh, no, when reporting back to the company headquarters, Meng Feng took the financial statements submitted by the Guangzhou branch and Hong Sheng's neatly written year-end work report , will smile like a flower.When the company was first established, someone once flattered him with the words "no doubts, no doubts", and he gladly accepted them.However, it was not until a few years later that he realized with some regret that he was still a little far away from these eight characters.

Fortunately, I slapped Xu You on the table with the door closed and yelled...

Meng Feng was glad that he was such a determined person.

After the Gregorian New Year, the first heavy snow since the beginning of winter arrived as scheduled.The temperature dropped overnight, and the air in the island city finally had the bitter taste of winter.When I wake up early, I occasionally see a thin layer of ice on the road, lining the roadside with all the leaves of the big-leaf sycamore trees, and my eyes are full of the unique feeling of winter.

With the arrival of Xu You's most hated season, the construction site has also entered a dormant period.The construction of pipelines and lines can only be continued after the beginning of spring. Not only the workers in the factory, but even Xu You has been completely idle.Every day, I either spend time in the office typing up the New Year's work plan, or I check the year-end work report submitted by others, and at the same time I start to evaluate the work performance of each project manager.

Once a person puts his energy into work, he has no time to take care of his little spiritual emptiness.

Xu You is no exception.

Therefore, one evening, when Xu You dug out a buzzing phone from a pile of work reports, and heard Huang Haitao on the other end of the phone announcing the news of marriage to him in a triumphant tone, Xu You suddenly realized that he was the only one in his life. For many months, I lived a two-point and one-line life from home to the company.

Xu You himself felt incredible.

"Come over tomorrow night." Before Huang Haitao finished speaking, Zhao Xiaoqi snatched the phone. Here comes the gift!"

"What date is the wedding date?"

"We can't hold weddings in the first month, so we have to catch up with the year before. Fortunately, we have been engaged for more than a year, and the house furniture, daily necessities, etc. are all ready. Just come to have a meal at that time, and have a good time together Just be lively."

"Time is a bit tight... It's hard to decide the banquet before the year, isn't it? Aren't many companies also holding year-end parties?"

"That's what I'm worried about. It doesn't matter to the two of us, but if the wedding banquet is not well organized, the old man will feel embarrassed. Think about it, both of us are locals, and relatives and friends are indispensable..." Zhao Xiaoqi sighed in frustration He breathed a sigh of relief, "The father-in-law and mother-in-law said that they have been found by someone, but there is no confirmation yet."

A vague idea flashed through Xu You's mind, but it was quickly rejected by him.

"Come over tomorrow." Zhao Xiaoqi told him, "I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Must go."

Xu You hung up the phone, flipped through the phone records to find Zhuang Shaodong's name one by one.After flipping through for a while, he sighed and threw the phone back into the pile of reports.
