The selfish gene
Chapter 20 You Are Not a Devil
Not long after we were seated, Xin Hezi arrived with several senior executives of the company.The box booked by the secretary is enough to seat 20 people, and there are only ten of us. The table is too huge, and everyone sits loosely.
After all, Cai Congcong is an old manager who has been in the field for a long time. He is very good at finding topics at the wine table, flattering each other with several high-level executives, and talking about news and gossip.Thanks to him for the whole meal, there was no silence.Occasionally, the topic will turn to me, and when asked about my opinions and opinions, I will always give perfunctory answers such as "is it", "um", "very good" in an attitude of not being interested and not wanting to participate.The number of times is too many, and you may also feel that I am not in a high mood, so you will stop coming to me to annoy you.
Lu Sui has a clear goal, specializing in Xinhezi. At the beginning, he ate "Mr. Xin", and in the end he simply called him "Sister". Zheng Jieyuan directly had multiple uncles for a meal.
Just like Zhou Jiyu, as long as he doesn't domineering over me, I can actually appreciate this kind of person.Ambition is written on the face, engraved in the bone, only do what is beneficial to oneself, and never waste time on those who are not worth it.It is also a pleasure to watch them mediocre and struggling to climb up.
Ji Chenfeng didn't know if he was still immersed in the remembrance of his ex or he was afraid of strangers. Except for saying hello to everyone when I briefly introduced him to everyone at the beginning, he didn't have any sense of presence after that.He didn't take the initiative to join the topic, and he didn't look like he was listening to others. He focused on the food in front of him from the beginning to the end, as if... really just came to eat.
I was sitting on Ji Chenfeng's left, and Han Ru was sitting on his right. When I looked up, I found that Han Ru was also looking at Ji Chenfeng.Her eyes were fiery and straightforward, as if what was in front of her was not a man, but a piece of fat steak. She was sharpening her knife, and her saliva was about to drip.
I almost forgot, Ji Chenfeng is very popular.Although he was a little pitiful when he was a child, he is indeed a heartthrob now.
Colleagues, customers, viewers who watched his videos, and passers-by like Han Ru are all too easily attracted by his contradictory specialties.Even the ear disease that caused him to be excluded as a child is no longer a problem now.
He has a good impression of me, but because I helped him, I lent him 30 yuan in his most difficult time, but what if there is someone who can help him more than me?What if that bamboo horse predecessor comes back?Ji Chenfeng said that the other party never contacted him after leaving the country, not that they never contacted him again.It means that after so many years, he is still waiting for the other party to contact him.
Thinking that I was just a candidate, a substitute for a man who didn't even know what he looked like, made my teeth itch.It has nothing to do with love, this is a provocation to my dignity.
He will never give up Ji Chenfeng to anyone.He is my prey, whether it is a man or a woman, if you want to get involved, you must be ready to be torn to pieces by me.
Perhaps feeling my hostility, Han Ru suddenly looked at me, and when he met my gaze, he froze for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Ah... I, I think this handsome guy is in good condition in all aspects. I'm wondering if it's your family's signed model, nothing else."
"He's my friend. He's a veterinarian by profession. He's never been in the modeling business." I said slowly.
Han Ru bit her lip, looking unwilling, and asked Ji Chenfeng, "Aren't you interested in having a part-time job? You are so suitable to wear my clothes, more suitable than all the previous models. You are ...the person in my head."
The veins on my forehead twitched twice, I tightly held the goblet containing soda water, and restrained myself from throwing the glass in front of the crowd.
"Sorry, I won't think about it for now." Fortunately, Ji Chenfeng was not deceived at all, his expression remained unchanged, and he refused without thinking.
Han Ru sighed in great disappointment: "That's a pity."
This conversation only happened in a small corner of the dining table, and did not attract the attention of other people. After that, Han Ru did not talk to Ji Chenfeng again.
By eight o'clock, the meal had been used up, and after three rounds of drinking, Cai Congcong was flushed with drunkenness, and several high-level officials also appeared drunk.
I skipped a glass on the grounds of quitting alcohol, but Ji Chenfeng was forced to drink two glasses of red wine.Since I was still concerned about his obsession with his ex, I just watched the whole process with a cold eye and did not stop him.But seeing that he didn't resist when he drank, it should be within his drinking capacity.
By the time Xin Hezi announced that this was the end of the day, most of the people at the table had been stumbling around. The hotel specially sent someone to escort a few senior executives who were too drunk to walk to the door, and hired a driver to take them back one by one.
Blown by the wind outside the door, Xin Hezi's wine was full of energy, and he staggered and almost fell.Lu Sui's eyes were quick and his hands quickly strode over, letting the opponent lean on him directly.
"Sister Xin, are you okay?"
"Oh, it's all right." Although Xin Hezi had gone through a lot of hardships and his son was older than Lu Sui, he still couldn't escape the courteousness of this little fresh meat, and his slightly drunken face turned even redder all of a sudden.
Afterwards, Lu Sui got into Xin Hezi's car directly on the grounds that he was on the way.
Looking at the black commercial vehicle leaving in the dust, Cai Congcong sneered: "By the way..."
Whether it's on the way or not, different people have different opinions, I just hope that Zheng Jieyuan doesn't have to have multiple fathers for a meal.
Before getting on the bus, Ji Chenfeng asked me to take him to the nearest subway station.Looking at his slightly blurred eyes, I didn't listen to him, and drove directly to his house.
The more you go to the suburbs, the fewer street lights, and the quieter you are.I played the music, and while waiting for the red light, I glanced at Ji Chenfeng again, and found that he was staring blankly at the scenery outside the window, his eyelids drooped a bit more than usual, although he was not noisy, and his complexion was normal, but No matter how you look at it, it looks like... drunk.
I tried to talk to him: "Doctor Ji, do you really don't want to be a model? Like Lu Sui. He takes a set of photos, which may be your salary for a few months."
He was still looking out the window, but quickly reacted to my words.
"Then who will... treat the small animals?"
"Without you, there are others. If you don't become a veterinarian, will no one become a veterinarian?"
"That's different. I'll take good care of them..." He breathed on the car window, and due to the temperature difference, a small white mist quickly formed on the car window, "I'm very good at taking care of small animals." He stretched out With his index finger, he drew a simple cat's head on the white mist.
Hearing this, I have already determined that he is really drunk.
This guy...can't drink, why should he drink it without changing his face, relying on others not to find out that he is drunk?
"If you make more money, you can afford a second cochlear implant and move from where you are now to a house like mine, okay?"
To be rich, isn't it?I admire those who are clearly ambitious, and at the same time, I hate the poor who pretend to be noble.
Ji Chenfeng didn't answer for a long time, just staring at the cat's head in a daze.I thought he was so drunk that his thoughts stopped and he could no longer hear my voice, so he didn't continue the conversation.His eyes fell back to the front, waiting for the red light to pass.
"It's good to make more money, but I've already promised..." He lay back in the chair and continued the previous topic in the dark, "My father had an accident before I was born and was paralyzed afterwards Yes. He was lying in bed since I became conscious. Mother worked to support the family until my father died. I was with him most of the time, cooking, scrubbing, and talking to him..."
There was some vague smile on his voice: "The original ideal was to be a doctor. I wanted to be a human doctor who could avoid tragedies like me and him. At that time, I was only six or seven years old, and I couldn't even read a few words. Everyone thinks I am whimsical, but he never laughs at me. He always says that I take good care of him and he will be a good doctor in the future."
"But then... I still didn't take good care of him."
On the empty main road, the signal light has jumped from red light to green light, but I still parked where I am, with no intention of driving.
"So, becoming a veterinarian is not only because I like animals more than humans, but also because of my promise to my father. I promised him...to be a good doctor."
When he said the last sentence, Ji Chenfeng's voice gradually lowered, and after a long while, there was the sound of even breathing from beside him, as if he fell asleep while talking.
It's only my car, and it doesn't matter if I stop it all the time. I just turn off the engine and stop in the middle.
Lowering the car window a finger-width apart, I took out my electronic cigarette and started puffing.
what a great dream...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, the cool smoke touched the eyeballs, causing a thin tingling pain.I blinked, but couldn't get rid of the sting.
Half an hour later, at the same place where the window was smashed last time, I patted Ji Chenfeng's face and called him up.
He opened his eyes in a daze, looked around, and found that he had already arrived home.
"Goodbye..." After thanking me, he opened the car door and got out of the car unsteadily.
Compared with when he just left the hotel, he looked even more drunk.If you climb that damn ladder to the sky like this, you will easily fall down.If he breaks his neck for it, that's all right with me.
As if hearing my heartfelt voice, Ji Chenfeng staggered suddenly after walking a few steps, leaning on the guardrail and sitting crookedly on the ground.
"Tsk."
Turn off the engine, get out of the car, and I run in his direction.The night was as cold as water, and I breathed white air. After confirming that he had not fallen badly, I held his arm and dragged him up from the ground.
If he just fell to his death, I will not be able to escape the responsibility.If Yan Shanhua goes crazy and thinks that I killed her precious son, and denounces me to Sang Zhengbai, waiting for my crime may turn into "intentional murder".To be on the safe side, it's better to send him home.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Ji Chenfeng turned his head and saw it was me, and suddenly laughed.
Knowing that he doesn't have any supernatural powers, it's impossible to know what I'm thinking, but I'm still annoyed by his smile.
"Be careful not to talk under your feet." He didn't think he would remember all the words he said tonight, and his tone became selective.
Fortunately, even though he was drunk, Ji Chenfeng was quite obedient, and then he walked with his feet on his feet, and really didn't speak any more.
After finally sending him to the door of the house, I knocked on the iron door vigorously, just wanting Yan Shanhua to come out quickly and take over this heavy burden.
"Can I talk?" Ji Chenfeng asked.
"Didn't you already talk about it?" I knocked on the door a few more times and said indifferently.
"I like your voice, but I don't like it because it sounds good. When I saw you for the first time, I thought... I went to heaven." Ji Chenfeng spoke in an unusually draggy tone after being drunk, completely astonished People scratching their heads, "So, you're not a devil."
"Huh?" I turned my head to face him, frowning suspiciously.
"You are... my angel." As he spoke, he gently covered my lips, and gave me a kiss that smelled of alcohol.
The dilapidated blue iron door opened slowly, and Yan Shanhua came to open the door with his clothes on. In this way, without any preparation, he faced the shocking scene between his own son and adopted son.
