love this thing

Ke Shangchun directly joined the company.

It was still very early, the whole floor was deserted, and the sound of the elevator door opening and closing was particularly abrupt; he thought he was probably the first to arrive in the whole company—it was comparable to the time when the cleaners went to work; no wonder he When he came in, the guard downstairs saw him, couldn't control the surprise on his face, and looked at the round clock on the wall of the hall several times.

Ke Shangchun got out of the elevator and walked towards the office, but there was no one there.He walked to his seat and took off his coat.

This long coat is very well tailored. Su Ming is wearing it, and it looks like a good fit, but if he wears it, the length is not bad—he is a little shorter than Su Ming, but his stature is in the standard of ordinary people. Li is not short.He gathered the coat in his hand - the smell of smoke stained with the material had faded a lot, but he could still vaguely smell the light and bitter burnt aroma.

I can vaguely see the image of the other party smoking in my mind...

Ke Shangchun smiled inwardly, hung up his coat on the back of the chair, sat down, and turned on the computer first.There are a few sample drafts on the side of the table, as well as the recording pen he gave to Fang Tong yesterday, and his personal notes; there are only interview-related matters in it, and there is no personal aspect at all, so he can give it so simply now.

After the computer started up, he was not in a hurry to use it. He took the few sample drafts and read them, picked out a few questions and wrote them down, and then logged into the email account. There were about twenty or so unread letters in it, and he quickly scanned the titles. , click on the more important ones, and then deal with the things mentioned in the mail.

When another person finally stepped into the office, he had already listened to yesterday's interview recordings, wrote the first draft based on the things Fang Tong sorted out, and even finished the breakfast he bought downstairs again.

"Brother Ke, you are so early..."

In the office, Fang Tong was always the first to arrive. When he came in, he saw Ke Shangchun sitting at his desk with an undisguised surprise on his face—just like the guard downstairs.

Ke Shangchun couldn't help laughing. Although he is not usually late, he is never the last person to join the company, so he said, "So you don't want to see me?"

Fang Tong's face became tense, and he hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I just thought Brother Ke was in such a hurry yesterday, there must be something serious, I thought he wouldn't come today."

Hearing what the other party said, Ke Shangchun's face was calm, but he was really embarrassed-in theory, what could it be called an emergency-but thinking about it privately, he felt that it was indeed urgent.

His thoughts turned to the end, and he apologized to Fang Tong for leaving the matter to Fang Tong yesterday, but the other party panicked and told him that it was nothing important, and it was his responsibility.

Knowing the other party's serious character, Ke Shangchun didn't limit himself to this point, and changed his words to talk about yesterday's interview and the photos he took back.

Fang Tong's expression was genuine and a bit more serious, but his tone was still hasty.

"Then what's wrong with writing?"

"No problem, just a moment..."

Ke Shangchun mentioned it, but he originally wanted to discuss it later, Fang Tong brought breakfast in his hand, at least he should finish it first, but the latter put the things down, and immediately came to him again, with a look on his face. He seemed to be teaching, so he had no choice but to continue talking.

Halfway through the discussion, people came in one after another, and the office suddenly became lively.The rest of the people were surprised to see that Ke Shangchun was already sitting in his seat and still dealing with official business, and they all made fun of him because of his good temper.

However, no one asked him about leaving early yesterday; in fact, sometimes he did not come back for interviews, which is not too rare, but after arranging for a long time for interviews, two people went and one came back——this is not quite right, he He did come back, but he went out again before stepping into the office, and then he never came back.

——I don’t know what everyone in there thought at the time?

Ke Shangchun wanted to think about it, but he wouldn't really ask what happened, but he thought it would be better if everyone didn't mention it, and let the matter just go by.

There was a routine meeting in the morning, and Ke Shangchun tidied up his things, took them and went to the meeting; but last night, he actually slept for less than three hours. Although the meeting was in progress, although he did not fall asleep, his energy has not been concentrated , but fortunately there is nothing to do with him, so I sat in it and waited for it to go away.

The meeting place was on another floor. When Ke Shangchun pressed the elevator to go downstairs, someone stopped him—the voice was unfamiliar, but it couldn’t be considered unfamiliar. They were all from the same company, but the branch was different. Same.

The person who called to stop him was Xue Meihong, not just anyone, she was in charge of a senior executive of a large department, and she was a real new woman of the times.

To be honest, Ke Shangchun's business has nothing to do with the other party. He is in the arts and literature, while Xue Meihong specializes in editorial and current affairs, and presides over a weekly news magazine.

In terms of the company's publications, that Newsweek can be said to be selling extremely well - the most popular unit in it belongs to Xue Meihong's column.

When Ke Shangchun joined the company, he knew this character. He had read several articles written by the other party as a student before, and he felt that this person must be very powerful.

When I saw it later, I felt that it was not surprising - when he was not in charge of the current business, he helped the other team to write a few interviews. Not only was the content of the interview led by the other party, but the content written after the interview was also deleted in large strokes. write her thoughts.

For these, Ke Shangchun basically respects them. After all, news reviews are not his major, and he doesn't feel humiliated when they are returned for revision.

Perhaps because of this, Xue Meihong wanted Ke Shangchun to stay in the group several times, but he was really not interested in current affairs editorials, so whenever they met, the other party would always pester him for a while. Fan, the number of times is too many, it is convenient to avoid it, but this time it is a direct encounter, and he is determined not to dodge it, so he can only cheer up and turn his head to greet the other party.

"Sister Meihong."

"So lethargic!"

Xue Meihong was wearing a formal suit, holding a binder in her hand, and her eyes swept across Ke Shangchun's body, as if she was so sharp that she could see through people, "I saw that you were not paying attention in the meeting just now."

"...I didn't sleep well." Ke Shangchun replied with a slightly tanned face, walked into the elevator, reached out and pressed his own floor, and then pressed the other's.

"I can't sleep well at such a young age. I guess I'm going to stay up late to do something..." Xue Meihong said, walked in quickly, stood beside him, and muttered a few more words.

"..." Ke Shangchun remained silent—he could only remain silent, even if he knew that the other party had told the truth inadvertently.

Fortunately, Xue Meihong didn't find it strange, and didn't say much. People who came in and wanted to take the elevator came out of the conference room together. Some of them were familiar with her, so they went to gossiping with those people instead. .

Ke Shangchun heaved a sigh of relief, and his eyes met the one in the elevator who was looking this way—Gu Junxiu had a smile in his eyes, as if gloating a little.

...really.

He turned his gaze to stare at the floor lights.

As soon as they reached the floor, Ke Shangchun greeted Xue Meihong and stepped out of the elevator.Gu Junxiu followed behind, walking to his side in a few strides.

"You seem to be doing fine today."

"What? I look bad?" Ke Shangchun asked casually.

Gu Junxiu smiled and said, "You left early yesterday."

"..." Ke Shangchun glanced at him and said, "Suddenly something happened."

"I think so too. You never leave early, and it's usually difficult for you to get off work early." Gu Junxiu said, and also glanced at Ke Shangchun: "I went to see you yesterday afternoon, and asked Fang Tong if you weren't there. Said that you left in a hurry after answering the phone, guessing that something important happened to you."

"..."

Gu Junxiu asked again: "What about now? Is it more important?"

Ke Shangchun felt embarrassed and sorry in his heart, he shook his hands and walked away, and then he became worried, Qi Ai said: "It's...it's nothing important."

Gu Junxiu looked at him, nodded and said nothing, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and entered the office on the side.

Frankly speaking, after this period, Ke Shangchun turned around and didn't take it too seriously. Seeing that the other party was busy, he continued to work. At noon, he didn't pay attention to the time, and was still working on the manuscript, so he let the office Several people in the room were shouted to eat.

"Go and eat first, don't worry about me."

"Brother Ke, let's eat a little first." Xiaolan advised.Fang Tong and a few others on the side also nodded in agreement, urging him to follow along.

Ke Shangchun paused as he tapped the keyboard, looked up at the few of them, but didn't see anything wrong, and said, "Okay, but I have to finish this one first. You go first , Let me know which one you eat, and I will go there later.”

Seeing his insistence, Xiaolan and the others nodded, took their mobile wallet and left.

Ke Shangchun concentrated on doing things for a while, and when he felt that it was almost the same, the mobile phone placed under the screen sent out a message notification tone.He picked it up, clicked on the message on Line, and after confirming the place to eat later, he still kept the page on the phone and held it, moving the mouse with one hand to save the file in the computer.

He sat in a chair, glanced at the time on the computer taskbar, and slid the phone page to one of the conversation columns.

—Actually, there is nothing that can really be said clearly.

No matter how you say it, you will not be clear about the matter of feelings - I haven't thought about it at all during the past six months, but I often think about it, and I feel at a loss in my heart - I feel that maybe I like Su Ming, or not, But it's just a habit.

Frankly speaking, he doesn't like the situation being so unclear at all. In his principle, no matter whether it is true or not, there must always be an answer, or simply don't think about it - just like the seniors who met in high school and college. , and even... the few people who were behind.

But in this relationship, he couldn't figure out whether it was right or not, and he couldn't stop thinking about it—such a contradiction; but even so, the relationship remained vague.

Then, now, no matter what, he always has a certainty in his heart, but he can't help but be afraid of Su Ming's answer - just like half a year ago, the expectations of the two sides are still different.

So what if this is the case?

——It can’t be done at all.

Ke Shangchun couldn't help laughing, but also lost his mind.He pondered for a while what he had to accomplish today, set a time and place to meet, and sent a message.

"Senior."

Hearing a shout suddenly, Ke Shangchun turned off the screen of his mobile phone, casually asked Sun Mu'an, stood up and took the coat from the back of the chair and put it on.

"Have you eaten?"

"Just wait for the seniors." Hearing what Sun Mu'an said, he explained with a smile on his face, "They also dragged me and asked me to tell you to go quickly."

Ke Shangchun was stunned for a moment, put the phone back in his coat pocket, doubted vaguely in his heart, took the money and went with the other party with a little hesitation.

"... They asked you to come back and call me?" Ke Shangchun didn't speak until he walked to the elevator.

"It's not special, I was actually waiting here, and I came to see the senior when it was about time." Sun Mu'an said, and the elevator door opened.

Ke Shangchun followed the other party in, feeling vaguely strange in his heart—it was nothing new to eat with people in the office, but sometimes he refused to go, and he would not insist on him going as he did today.

——It's a bit unbelievable.He followed Sun Mu'an into the elevator, a thought flashed through his mind, he couldn't help taking out his wallet to see if there was enough money in it; but then he thought, if he wanted to treat himself, it would be fine, just say it straight, why bother to be so devious?

Ke Shangchun felt funny when he thought about it, and his arm was held down unexpectedly.

"—Senior."

Ke Shangchun paused, looked at Sun Mu'an beside him, and asked with his eyes. Seeing that the other person looked slightly confused, but looked at himself once, he shook his head and let go of his hand, saying that it was all right.

Ke Shangchun was puzzled, but he just nodded, and didn't ask in detail—a little unwilling to ask.In fact, since the businessman surnamed Huang came last time, and the two of them talked a few words, Sun Mu'an vaguely began to avoid him again, so he was not surprised to see the other party approaching him today.

In addition, he has never been very good at asking too many questions; it was rare to ask so much last time, but now he feels that it is fine if the other party is willing to speak, and it is okay if he refuses to.

——On the contrary, he really felt that something was wrong today.

"Yesterday...", "Senior's house..."

The two spoke almost at the same time.Ke Shangchun was slightly taken aback, but Sun Mu'an's expression flickered, hesitant to speak.

The elevator dinged at this moment, indicating that it had reached the floor, and the door opened.After the two walked out in silence, Ke Shangchun spoke first.

"What... did you want to ask just now?"

There was another wave of hesitation on Sun Mu'an's face.

"I'm worried about the senior, about the senior's family, if I can help..."

"Wait..." Before the other party finished speaking, Ke Shangchun felt that something was wrong, and quickly interrupted: "What does it have to do with my family?"

Being asked this question, Sun Mu'an was taken aback for a moment, and blurted out: "Didn't something happen to the senior's family?"

"..."

Ke Shangchun was so stunned that he couldn't speak for a moment—what kind of misunderstanding was this?Seeing his reaction, Sun Mu'an probably also found it strange, so he asked cautiously.

"Is there anything wrong with the senior's house?"

Ke Shangchun glanced at the other party, not knowing whether to be angry or amused. "Of course not!" He said with a deep breath, "Who said that?"

"Uh……"

"..."

It is said that gossip is terrible - and it is true.

No wonder no one in the office asked the reason why he left early yesterday, and Gu Junxiu was the only one who said that. It turned out that everyone thought that he would leave in a hurry because something happened at home.

...How did you think of such a direction?

Ke Shangchun really couldn't figure it out.But that's good too, so that he won't have to explain that phone call—but he still has to explain it now, and it's also because of that phone call.

It turned out that Fang Tong saw his hasty look, and thought it must be someone close to him, so he said the definition of close, it must be a member of the family, and then turned around, casually saying that he left, maybe something happened at home.

Because he never deserted during working hours, arriving late and leaving early was totally out of his mind—everyone thought about it and felt that it was the case.

During the meal, Ke Shangchun told everyone in a simple and flat manner that he simply had something to do and had nothing to do with his family. Everyone was embarrassed for a while, and they also felt it was funny.

Fang Tong straightly apologized to him, saying that he didn't intend to speculate, in fact, he was not angry at all, it was more helpless and funny, so he asked the other party not to care about it.

"Senior, may I ask what is the matter?"

When they turned around and had dinner before entering the company, Ke Shangchun and Sun Mu'an were the last to walk, and they just heard the other party ask. "It's a friend's urgent matter." He opened his mouth, then said after a moment of silence, "It's nothing, I'm off to work."

"……Um."

Ke Shangchun waved his hand and went into the office.

After returning to his seat and sitting down, he first received a few emails, then took out his mobile phone to read them, then put them down again, and focused on doing things again.

He pulled out the first draft of yesterday's interview and revised it several times. After confirming that it was correct, he sent the final draft to the other party's assistant's e-mail according to the interview conditions agreed at the beginning.

Then he took the content plan of the new issue to discuss with the editor-in-chief, and it was two hours later when he came back, and there was an extra reply in his inbox.

It was sent by Ye Youquan's beautiful assistant, saying that his boss thought there was nothing wrong with it after reading it, and agreed to publish it according to the content.

Ke Shangchun also returned to the past, thanking the other party again for agreeing to interview this time, and mentioned the other party's willingness to interview again in the next year's exhibition.

Then I was busy for a while, and the time was almost up, and people began to clean up the office one after another.He finished what he was doing, put away his things and was about to leave, when his phone rang.

The caller was Ye Youquan's assistant, he was taken aback for a moment and then picked up, the other party first politely said sorry, and then tactfully stated the purpose and asked for another interview.

It’s not a big deal, sometimes the interviewees feel that the situation is not good that day, or they want to make some supplements to some of the interview questions, but it’s not that they haven’t done it; it’s just that the interviewees have clearly read the interview manuscript, and they also said that there are no problems that can be published. .

... This is not the most troublesome.

Since Ye Youquan's schedule is already full, only tonight is free, because the other party will go to a reception, and he can spare a little time in between.

As for the location, it was naturally also the hotel where the reception was held.

Ke Shangchun was speechless, but he could only answer, and hung up the phone.Fang Tong left before him, but he didn't mean to let him go.

He looked at the watch on his wrist, put away the last thing, took the elevator downstairs in a hurry, and made a call with his mobile phone—but he heard the voice answering the call.At this moment, Ke Shangchun had other things on his mind, so Ke Shangchun didn't think much about it, so he just stepped up and rushed to the meeting place.

He couldn't help but rejoice that he had an appointment near the company. There was a department store there, and the surrounding area developed along with the trend, and many shops opened along the road.

Halfway through the walk, Ke Shangchun called again, but it only rang once before he hung up by himself first, and then walked a few steps towards Su Ming who was coming from the opposite side.

Su Ming also saw him, put his hand holding the mobile phone into his jacket pocket, then glanced at him, and asked a question first.

"What's wrong?"

"Um……"

At this moment, the urgency of the two situations naturally cannot be compared, but Ke Shangchun did not want to delay the original purpose because of the sudden situation.He thought for a while, and said to Su Ming seriously: "Can you wait for me...for about two hours? I..."

"Is there something urgent?" Before he finished speaking, Su Ming interrupted: "Where are you going?"

Ke Shangchun froze for a moment, and then said the name of the restaurant.

Su Ming nodded and said, "I'll take you there. It's a bit far away, and it will take an hour if you don't drive there."

Ke Shangchun was stunned and speechless, but he didn't take this into consideration. Just now, he asked the other party to wait for him for two hours.

"Let's go."

Ke Shangchun heard Su Ming say again, regained his senses, followed the latter's footsteps, and then thanked him.Su Ming glanced at him, responded vaguely, and turned his gaze back.
