rekindled love

In the evening, some work had to be finished, so Hengshan, who was not able to get off work on time, arrived at the destination half an hour after everyone set off.

Looking at the thick clouds, the weather that seemed to be raining again made him want to hide in the car and not come out.If it hadn't been for Eriko holding the box in the morning and forcing him to pay for the celebration party, and threatening him with "everyone is going, how can we lose our handsome class leader, that's too unreasonable", he would have done everything unwilling to attend.

It's obviously a matter of the second class, why should they join in the fun of the first class?Hengshan murmured inwardly, but he knew very well that if he said such a thing, he would definitely be pushed back with "they are all from the sales department, why should they be so clearly classified".

But he really didn't want to go where that man was, and he didn't want to go to a celebration for that man.

Walking into the izakaya with hesitant steps, he heard loud music, and at a glance, it was really hard not to notice a large group of people making noise in the corner, so he just sighed in his heart and walked over.

After being allowed to sit in the middle seat, he realized that the man was sitting opposite him, but it was impossible to change seats now, and Ono next to him had already poured the beer for him.

"To congratulate Senior Eizuka on the cooperation with Company M, cheers!"

The wine glasses collided with a crisp sound.

Ever since he was drunk and kissed, Hengshan hadn't had a drink at the company's party again, but he couldn't hold back everyone's high spirits, so he had to pick up the glass and take a symbolic sip.Since he hadn't drunk it for a long time, the bitter taste in his mouth made him frown.Putting down the wine glass, when she raised her head, Qiaoqiao met the man's eyes again, and was squinted for a while, and the man muttered "It's really useless" before looking away.

Sure enough, he should still insist on not attending the party at that time, so he wouldn't have to see this annoying person outside the company again.Hengshan thought with great annoyance.

"Ah! Section Chief, I heard that you went to the market to investigate last time, and it was very hard!"

He obviously came to attend someone else's celebration, but was suddenly asked about his own business, or a bad experience that he didn't want to think about, Heng Shan frowned slightly.

"Well, it's not too bad!"

"Section Chief, you are too polite. That market survey was really hard! The Section Chief was almost struck by lightning!"

Originally, he wanted to take it lightly, but Zetian, who was sitting two seats away from him, broke the news.The fast talker!Hengshan cursed secretly in his heart, if possible, he really wanted to put a sealing tape on that kid's mouth.

Uehara, who was sitting next to Zetian, immediately gave him a slap, "It's not because of you, who would be so stupid that he even spelled the name of the city wrong!"

"I'm sorry! Who knew that with only one letter difference, a bustling city has become a poor country." Zetian stroked the back of his head and bowed his head to Yokoyama to apologize with grievance.

"You still have the nerve to say it!" Uehara followed up with another joke.

"However, after that time, I deeply realized that the section chief's serious work attitude is something I must learn.

"Even though I said it's not very useful, I still carefully surveyed the local residents one by one, filled out the questionnaires for everyone, and then compiled them carefully. The section chief is really serious! The section chief is The goal of my life!" Shouting slogan-like words, as if to express his firm will, Zetian even clenched his right fist.

What a no-brainer, how could anyone praise his boss so exaggeratedly on such an occasion.The veins on Hengshan's forehead began to twitch.

"That's all you can do."

Amidst the uproar, Yingzuka's voice came clearly.Even the corners of Hengshan's eyes twitched when he heard the other party's intentionally belittling him.

"What happened in our first class, there's no need for you to make irresponsible remarks in the second class!" He said as he picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for the other party, unwilling to be reconciled to always lagging behind this man, "Congratulations!" The voice squeezed out from deep in the throat.

"That's what I said, but just like now, the first and second classes of the sales department gathered here to celebrate. Doesn't that mean that everyone is a community? Then, isn't it natural for me to care about you?"

Hidetsuka shrugged, put the wine glass close to his mouth with an evil smile, and after taking a sip, the mocking smile on his face deepened.

"However, Section Chief Yokoyama is really good! He became the Section Chief at such a young age." Eriko who was still talking to others interrupted, "There must be a lot of people chasing after the Section Chief? He is handsome and capable of working. Qiang, such an excellent person, girls must be rushing to get him."

"Eriko, aren't you implying that you are going to chase him, aren't you?" Someone next to him suddenly said, which made Eriko's face turn red, and she quickly covered her face with her hands.

"Ah! You saw through it."

Everyone laughed.

Yokoyama has encountered many such insincere confessions, and some even directly said "please date me", but he politely refused them all. Over time, the company spread the saying that he doesn't like women.

After Eriko's "confession", some people began to complain about his wife's nagging and the pressure to raise children.

He didn't want to get involved in the topic, but Hengshan sat there with nothing to do, so he could only drink beer.Although he told himself not to care, the gaze that had been staring at him made him feel uncomfortable, so he finally turned around and looked over.

"You're very popular! Section Chief Yokoyama!" Eizuka spoke first, and Yokoyama felt disgusted by the emphasis on the word "section chief" and decided to ignore him.

"May I smoke?"

Can't the man see that he doesn't want to talk to him?This place is located in the smoking area, if you want to smoke, you can smoke, why bother to ask yourself.

Even so, Yokoyama, who didn't want to appear too rude, said "Please go ahead".

After getting permission, Hidetsuka took out the cigarette case from his breast pocket, pulled out one with his bony and slender fingers to light it, and began to puff happily.

"I heard that Eizuka-senpai is getting married? She is a very young girl. I'm so envious!" The man who asked the question was called Kawai, and Yokoyama also knew him. When he first came to the branch, he had worked with him on several projects. A hearty person is definitely much easier to get along with than Yingzuka.

The man in question didn't feel nervous like Yokoyama, he smiled calmly and exhaled the smoke in his mouth.

"I got dumped by my ex-girlfriend, so I had no choice but to find someone to marry!"

His indifferent words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the female colleague next to him.

"Liar! How could Senior Yingzuka be dumped by others? You are one of the best elites in our company! You can write a biography of your outstanding achievements in the head office, and the position is constantly promoted. It is not enough to transfer to the branch office." A cooperation case with the big company M Company was negotiated in a month, such a talented man, the woman who dumped you really has no eyes."

For such a high evaluation, Hidezuka just raised his eyebrows, and while continuing to smoke, he kept staring at Yokoyama.

Does he mean himself by the girlfriend who dumped him?As if being blamed, Yokoyama looked away unhappily.

That's right, the two were indeed a couple once, but when he proposed to break up, the man agreed with a smile. Instead, he deliberately applied to be transferred to this place, which is hundreds of kilometers away from the head office, in order to avoid the embarrassment of meeting in the same company. The distant Asahina branch office.

Unexpectedly, a year after he came here, the other party was also transferred to this place. He will never forget the moment of reunion, the cold light revealed from the man's eyes.

In his view, the other party has only one purpose, which is to revenge himself.That's right, how can this man who is always superior and is the one who confesses to himself first, tolerate others dumping himself first?

In retrospect, the relationship between the two was so long ago.

That year, after many interviews, he finally entered the dream B&L company...

"Hi everyone, I'm Hengshan Qingshi, and I'm going to work with you from today, please give me your advice!"

"Yokoyama, you just follow Eizuka!"

Before he straightened up, he was immediately led by the Minister of Personnel to the man named Hikoichi Hidetsuka.When he raised his head, he saw a fairly three-dimensional facial contour, a pointed chin, a kind of indescribable sharpness, thin lips, a few strands of hair hanging casually on his forehead, and a straight bridge of nose. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses, with the ends of the eyes hanging up slightly, even through the lenses, you can still feel the cold light from those eyes.

He was so shocked that he almost forgot to say hello to his senior, and only bowed hastily after being reminded by the Minister of Personnel.His embarrassment was fully seen by the other party, and the corner of the man's mouth was pulled upwards.

"Hello there."

The man's cold tone made Hengshan feel as if he had been hit by an ice cube. He only felt a chill spreading from the soles of his feet, and he knew intuitively that the future work would never be easy.

really.

"Yokoyama, make 10 photocopies of this document. It's okay to finish it within [-] minutes?"

"Yes!"

"Yokoyama, can't you type faster?"

"Yes!"

Not only the content of the work is reminded, but also the pen holder should be retracted immediately after the pen is used up, the amount of photocopy paper put in the photocopier must not exceed a certain amount, the processed documents are placed on the left, and the unprocessed documents are placed on the right , such details will be raised one by one by Eizuka.

It was okay at first, but as time went on, even he himself began to feel that he was worthless.

Even, once he went to the other party's house because of work, and he thought that his living habits were not too bad, but when he first entered the entrance, he was pointed out that the shoes he had taken off had to be placed neatly outwards, which completely broke him down.As an ordinary person, I am completely incompatible with this man who pursues perfection in both work and life, just like water and oil.

Finally, after one of the company's receptions, he used the wine to strengthen his courage and asked the man in front of him the questions he had been suppressing in his heart.

"Does Hidezuka-senpai hate me?"

After the question was thrown out, the Armani shoes who were walking in front stopped.Turning around to face him, it was a face that he still felt unfamiliar even though he had been together for more than a month, because at this time that face was showing a smile that he had never seen before.

"Oh? Does my attitude make you think so?"

"It's not that I think so, it's you..." You really hate me!

He was interrupted by a man halfway through his speech.

"Let's date!"

"Clam?"

Before he could digest the shocking news he had just received, he was immediately kissed on the lips by the approaching man.

Impossible!For a long time, a man who has always set himself as the goal but will never reach that level, how can he say that he wants to date him?He didn't know whether it was because of drunkenness or other reasons, but he felt that everything in front of him was beginning to blur.

Thinking about it now, that was the beginning of all nightmares. Although it ended with my own hands, I didn't expect the man to chase after me again.

"Enough! Did you give up the opportunity to be promoted to the minister and transferred here from the head office just to get revenge on me? If that's the case, then you don't have to spend so much trouble, because when I'm with you, I just You've been criticized so badly.

"It's still because you hate me so much that you want to kill me, then please do it as soon as possible. Anyway, I can't bear it. I will suffer from your torture before I die." In the bathroom, Hengshan finally couldn't help it, and faced the person who came in one step later. Hidetsuka roared out.

Looking at the agitated Yokoyama, Hidezuka calmly took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands after washing his hands.

"You are too self-indulgent! I am transferred here because of work needs, and it has nothing to do with you." He finished speaking easily, and glanced at Hengshan.

"You still don't change your previous nervousness. Play with you before you die? Very good advice! I will refer to it, Mr. Yokoyama." After putting the handkerchief into his pocket with a smile, Eizuka stayed behind Hengshan walked out of the bathroom by himself.

The moment he heard the sound of the door closing, Hengshan's whole body seemed to be drained of strength, and he almost fell to the ground. With his hands on the edge of the sink, he raised his head and saw himself in the mirror, so haggard. A face that even seemed strange to him.

It is said that it is necessary for work, so why do you still have to target yourself everywhere as before?

After washing his face to wake himself up, he planned to go home, but he was caught by the sharp-eyed Zetian in the corridor.

"Section Head, are you drunk? Our seat is over there!" He started to speak loudly even though he was a little drunk.

Fearing that his quarrel-like volume would affect others, Hengshan had no choice but to return to his seat.

"Did you just try to escape?"

As soon as he sat down, the man broke his mind with a single word, making Hengshan unwilling,

"Where is it? I just want to find other wine to drink. I'm a little tired of beer." Not good at lying, Hengshan hardly dared to look at the other party.

"Then do you want to change to a drink?" At the same time as he asked, Eizuka had already made a gesture to call the waiter over.

It was a casually made up lie, the beer was already enough, how could it be possible to drink other wine?Hengshan quickly stood up to stop him, "Don't bother! Just call after drinking!"

"Really? I thought I could order a bottle of red wine, and someone would drink it with me!" Hidetsuka leaned over with narrowed eyes, stared at Yokoyama's embarrassed face for a while, and then laughed.

It was disgusting to be placed again.The anger in his heart had risen to a height of three feet, and when Hengshan was about to reply, because a female colleague said that he was going to get married, the atmosphere on the scene became noisy again.

"Congratulations Kuraki on becoming a bride. Cheers!"

There was another sound of wine glasses clinking, and Hengshan had no choice but to drink up the wine in his own glass.Just like this, he drank up and was refilled, refilled and then toasted. After half an hour of this cycle, he felt that his vision had begun to blur.

The celebration ended at ten o'clock, and several people met to continue the second stall.

"Senior Eizuka, then, Section Chief Yokoyama will entrust you." Sawada, who said with a smile that he would go back to the company to get the documents, entrusted Yokoyama to Eizuka, and then got in a taxi and left.In the end, only Yokoyama and Hidezuka were left standing at the entrance of the izakaya.

"I don't need you to see me off." Hengshan threw off the supporting hand of Hidetsuka at once, but immediately flung forward with an unsteady figure.

"Although I don't want to send you off, but because your subordinates have entrusted me with that, let's go together!" Hidetsuka grabbed him quickly and kept him away from the fate of being in close contact with the ground, but in a tone of charity Angered Hengshan.

"Go away!" Hengshan pushed hard, and the man took several steps back.

"OK! Since you have a solution, and it saves me time, then, let's take my leave. As soon as I finished speaking, I really walked towards the parking lot without looking back.

What a disgusting, cold-blooded man!Although he first said that he didn't need help from others, but now he started to complain about the man he left.Hengshan helped his dizzy head, knowing that he was not drunk enough to go home by himself.Fortunately, the izakaya is not too far from my home, so I can walk there, and I will drive the car tomorrow.

He staggered to his feet and staggered down the street.

Although he lived in a high-end apartment, several street lamps were broken by naughty children nearby, so the light on a section of the road was relatively dim.

Hengshan squinted his eyes and looked up at the apartment in front of him, but it would take him a while to walk.He sighed heavily, and when he was about to go further, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind. He had felt that something was following him along the way, but now, the footsteps that had been at a certain distance from him gradually approached.

Suddenly, during the party, a topic that a staff member unintentionally brought up entered Yokoyama's mind.

The serial killing happened again, and this time the victim was still a young man, who, like the previous two victims, was also engaged in the service industry.According to the police's speculation, the murderer followed the victim and waited for an opportunity to commit the murder...

Although he comforted himself that he would not be so unlucky, it was just like human instinct, once such a thought came up, fear would creep up his body, Hengshan reflexively quickened his pace, and finally turned into a running state.

After running across a ramp, he realized that the sound of footsteps following him just now had disappeared, so he gradually slowed down.

"so cold……"

As soon as he slowed down, he vaguely heard such a voice. Suspecting that he had heard it wrong, Hengshan immediately held his rapid breath, and the surrounding became quiet, as if he could only hear the sound of his own heart beating.

"Help me..."

The light and fluttering voice came out again, and after confirming where it came from, Hengshan shook his right hand and lifted the lid of the orange trash can by the roadside.

Immediately, all the sweat he sweated from climbing the slope just now was taken back because of the shock.His mouth was so wide that he couldn't even make a sound.

The person curled up in the trash can was his subordinate, Sanshang who was at the same time as Zetian.

"Section Chief, you killed me a year ago and left me in this dark place, making me very cold and hungry." Looking up at Hengshan, his eyes were bloodshot, and his dry skin was clinging to his bones On, just like a mummy, "Section Chief, you finally came to pick me up!"

"Ah—" Yokoyama screamed and ran towards the apartment.
