Every time I go out for a drink, thanks to his poor capacity for liquor, he always squints at me drunkenly. When I am still half awake, I will ask him what he can't call. He grinned and was happy. Then he looked down at me and said, "You can keep it if you can't get it, but don't ..."
Before the words were finished, he collapsed completely. I thought about this passage, puzzled, smiled and poured myself another cup. It was often the early morning sunshine and the waiter who came to work the next day that woke us up.
When Khufu just came, the new manager had just taken over, and there was a big rotation of staff here in the branch, which was undoubtedly a good opportunity for the old police who were used to personnel changes. Just when the whole department was ready to move, as a budding newcomer, Lao Hu froze the whole pot of soup.
Two things happened in this process that are worth remembering. The first one is related to the new department manager.
Everyone didn't expect the department manager to be a woman, and she was young and beautiful, just like walking out of a TV series. In fact, after the first morning meeting, several young employees, led by Nanfeng, completely exposed their weasel animal signs and almost knelt under the skirt of manager Haruko. Female friends who don't agree with this, although they can't say anything, silently put lipstick on their lips.
I turned to khufu who had just received a cup of coffee. I leaned down and asked him, "Do you think they can have something to do with the manager?"
Khufu smiled and shook his head gently.
"I think you may have a chance if you work hard."
Khufu swallowed his coffee and said with a smile, "How can such a capable girl fall in love easily?"
Haruko's capable managers are really everywhere. Although she is young, she is very experienced in business. The arrangement of several meetings has solved the mess left by the previous meeting and the projects that have been dragged on. The capable style is completely different from her charming appearance.
The whole office area is also thriving and full of vitality because of the manager Haruko. For men who are struggling for their future, Haruko's stop at his side is simply full of chicken blood for them. Tight jeans and a suit jacket that highlights the figure. Oh, by the way, manager Haruko never wears high heels and likes to wear white flat shoes, so when she doesn't wear a suit, she looks more like a young and lively girl. Sometimes Nanfeng naively asked her why she was wearing this dress, and she smiled and said,
"Flat shoes are quiet and won't bother you. Besides, just call me haruko. "
Nanfeng told me later that he even thought of the children's names when he saw that smile.
A month later, the first league building was ushered in, and Khufu officially became a full member. This is enough to make the young man more confident with every step forward. There was also a boy who came in with him, but he didn't like to talk much. Unlike khufu, who was always joking and kept his word, he got along with us in an orderly and informal way, so that all the girls in the department had the intention to eat this tender grass, but khufu seemed to have no feelings for them.
Most of the offices are still single men and women, so the league building itself is not simple. After Haruko said a few words, everyone symbolically echoed some efforts and tried again. Haruko also smiled. Then everyone drank freely. Nanfeng and I took turns toasting, but Haruko didn't seem to be slightly drunk, only the female colleagues who were interested in Nanfeng were jealous. Later, we had a brainwave and asked Khufu to propose a toast. After several times, we realized that there really is no one in this world who can't fall.
But at that time, I didn't think that watching nonsense would soon become my normal state. Yes, after two drinks, Haruko, whose face is still white and lovely, looked at Khufu with great interest, but Khufu's eyes were out of focus.
I gave up the idea of pouring wine for Haruko, and after drinking for a while, everyone was a little confused. Haruko also showed her playful side. She suggested singing, and the best singers can ask her, as long as they don't go too far. Nanfeng's repertoire, which had been rehearsed hard for two weeks, was finally displayed. Seeing haruko nod slightly, Nanfeng was so excited that he was afraid to kneel at haruko's feet the next second and beg her to marry him. My singing is behind the south wind, but my disastrous singing seems to wake everyone up in advance. Several female colleagues suggested recording my singing as an alarm clock, which must be very effective. After me, Khufu was forced to pick up Mike.
Between the cup and the lamp, I saw in a trance that Khufu went to the screen to order songs and pressed them letter by letter. When the familiar prelude sounded, he sat back by my side. Strangely, there is no trace of drunkenness in his eyes, but it is as clear as the afternoon sunshine, which is cast on the screen. As soon as the deep voice came out, just like Mars hitting the earth, several girls suddenly lost their drunkenness and even applauded and cheered.
I remember that at that time, compared with the singing of the song Don't Think About Me, I was more concerned that Khufu was completely different from his previous concentration and devotion, and the whole person seemed to be cut from his usual fake smile and turned into another person. I can see that he hasn't studied, but his voice is very nice. Besides, he sings very carefully.
In this way, I enjoyed it until the climax of the sentence "Don't think about me" came. Khufu couldn't help getting up. The high-pitched singing is mixed with heartbreaking emotions, which makes the whole karaoke room crazy in an instant. In fact, at that moment, everyone was involved in this fanatical mood. I still remember Khufu's eyes at that moment. That was the most determined and confident I have ever seen him. The eyes reveal everything in the world.
This is obviously a sad song. He is obviously a young man.
Until the end, lingering, a sense of loss gradually diffuse, I glanced at Haruko and saw her secretly wipe her eyes.
I am afraid it is enough to remind countless girls of their first love. I can't help thinking. Fortunately, at the end of the song, Khufu drank a bottle of beer and fell down again.
It was already one o'clock in the morning when we left. Several girls were sent back by taxi by several male colleagues. Comparatively speaking, they are still awake, and I was sent to send the unconscious khufu back to the apartment. When I got on the bus, Haruko came over with a big smile and saw me holding the lump. She said helplessly:
"First, when he wakes up, tell him not to drink so much in the future. Besides, tell him I owe him a request. "
Haruko seemed to think of something, and her face was shy. Before I could see it clearly, she turned and walked away.
In the evening, I secretly discussed with Nanfeng whether it is possible for Haruko and Khufu. I don't know if it's out of rational analysis or jealousy. The south wind vetoed me for a second.
"Don't you think a song by Khufu pierced the manager's heart?"
"Khufu is too young. Although Haruko is also very young, in my opinion, she must like something more mature. "
Well, compared with other staff in the office, Lao Hu is a little young, I thought silently.
But soon, things turned around.
Haruko was recalled by the headquarters for a week. Before we left, she called us to the office and specifically told us not to "change our minds".
We all nodded heavily in the south wind to show our loyalty. Only khufu eyes some distractions, staring at the corridor secretary Lin's white legs.
Seeing this scene, Haruko was angry and funny, but she immediately changed her harsh tone and there was a layer of frost between her eyebrows and eyes.
"Hu Yu, did you hear me? What are you thinking? "
Khufu wake up like a dream, hurriedly take back the eyes on the leg, nodding:
"The manager can rest assured, rest assured."
With Haruko's departure, the person who temporarily led us to follow up the project was Qin, the notorious director of the legal department. His hooliganism is recognized. It is said that the young female subordinate of the legal department has something to do with him more or less. In addition to rumors, he was often seen rushing out of the ladies' room during lunch break. However, it depends on his deep qualifications, strong business ability and good means of getting along. We are still worried about the female compatriots in the department.
In the more than one month that Haruko took us, she never put on airs, and kept care and respect for every employee, which made those once hostile female colleagues put down their prejudices and the whole department unconsciously gained some cohesion. Therefore, when Haruko is away, we men feel that our mission is great and we need to protect every member of the department. After work, we all stare at the devil wears Prada, trying not to let him have a chance to contact the girls in the department alone.
However, on the last day, we were still unprepared.
In fact, such executives want to take advantage of the point, and the means are endless. As long as it is coercion and inducement, few girls dare to resist.
He took a good look at the newly transferred abortion, because he had understood that abortion was the most talkative and temperamental girl in the whole office. Even if something goes wrong, he firmly believes that this weak girl dare not confront her future.
There were few people in the office when I got off work that day. Xiaoyue was asked to stay and work overtime. Where did this girl know that Qin director had ulterior motives and thought it was just as simple as working overtime? I sighed and had to pack up and get ready to go home. I have been wandering in this position for so long, and I know very well that there are some things that I can't change, that I can't handle well, and I may even put myself in it.
But to my surprise, khufu is still beating the file slowly.
I went over and stabbed him, and he stared at the computer screen and said:
"You go first and make peace. I still have some negotiation instructions to complete. "
For such a long time, I have regarded khufu as a brother like Nanfeng. I gave abortion a crazy wink, but he ignored me at all. I only heard Xiaoyue and Khufu typing on the keyboard. One is really stupid, and the other seems not so good.
I really can't understand why Khufu, who usually laughs, can't understand the situation clearly in such a thing, but after the devil wears Prada came in and coughed, I had to leave.
Later, after listening to Khufu's nonsense, he worked overtime until 1 1 that day, but Director Qin didn't insist on 9 o'clock and left angrily.
After working for a long time, I will instinctively avoid such things, because in the workplace, some people will crush you as easily as an ant.
Sure enough, when Haruko came back, the gossip about Khufu and Abortion had spread all over the office building. What's more, the personnel director came here twice. Needless to say, this is Lao Qin's fault.
Knowing the general process, Haruko first appeased Abortion, and then called this heartless thing of Khufu to her office.
"Can you stop watching? I like watching it so much that I will wear a skirt tomorrow. "
Khufu quickly withdrew his eyes and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"A change of heart becomes very fast. Didn't you reassure me before I left? How can I find my husband's family as soon as I come back? "
Haruko gherardini asked, old YueHu listen more not the taste, so we have to the cheek to answer:
"That's all rumors."
In his words, he is like a little boy caught by his sister. The more embarrassed he is, the happier she is.
"So you are a hero who saved America and showed your integrity and courage?"
Haruko pulled down her hair and pursed her lips.
"If you see it, you can't help but watch it."
Khufu said helplessly.
"Then I ask you,"
Haruko is very considerate,
"If it weren't for the abortion, I would have been left to work overtime. Do you dare to stay in front of the boss? "
Khufu think, don't know where is the meaning of this sentence, simply said:
"I dare not bully the boss. If I beat him, I will resign."
Haruko laughed with a snow, but soon, she put away the smile on her face.
"With your personality, it is difficult to go up."
Haruko looked at khufu and said matter-of-factly.
"I didn't think about going up, I feel very good."
Khufu also replied seriously.
When haruko looked at khufu with clear eyes and no distractions, I wondered what kind of fluctuations she would have on this man. After all, Nanfeng and I won't do the same thing.
Khufu himself said, don't be distracted. I don't believe that Haruko, who I haven't seen for a long time, will care about him without hesitation and won't have any other thoughts, but he doesn't know that from that moment on, Haruko has more strange feelings for this stubborn but warm-hearted man.
Quarterly bonus, not khufu and abortion, when announced, haruko is also a face of helplessness, but unexpectedly, Qin director next door, for some reason, according to past practice, should be promoted with haruko, but the result is that neither of them mentioned it, which is undoubtedly a fatal blow to Qin director who has been in the legal department for several years. If an executive of that age doesn't get a promotion, he can basically announce that he can't take a step forward.
This is inseparable from Haruko's handwriting. I can't imagine how Haruko fought bravely to save Khufu and Xiaoyue, and also personally cleaned up Lao Qin. I believe that khufu can taste something special even if he doesn't care. After that, although Nanfeng plays tricks in front of Haruko like a fool every day, I can always catch Haruko's casual eyes and often glance aside to pretend to be a serious khufu.
The more he pretends, the more impatient she becomes.
"Haruko is interested in you. I'm sure you didn't see her stop at your house for a while every time she came to patrol. "
I stared at the busy chewing khufu, solemnly said.
"So?"
Khufu also don't look up.
"So you should take the initiative. Is it sweet to be with such a beautiful and thoughtful girl? The most important thing is that you will be next to your thigh. "
Khufu put down his chopsticks and looked at me with disdain.
"You let me eat soft rice."
"Haruko, if I eat it, I will swallow it without hesitation."
I said there was no fluctuation.
"But what can I get?"
Khufu asked.
"A woman who likes you and deserves your love can also help you at work. Imagine that when you are promoted to business manager, one day you will be neck and neck with Haruko. Will our brothers still use this stingy restaurant to drink a bottle of beer for ten dollars? "
I poured myself a glass, and the beer was foaming. I looked at this almost life-extending thing and shook my head with a wry smile.
"What to drink?"
"Drink high-end, drink expensive, eat high-end restaurants, build arrogant villas, how many people can afford to play and buy cars that others dare not take ... in short, life is not about getting better!"
"But I don't want to work hard."
"You don't need to work hard with Haruko."
"I don't want to get better."
"You are sick."
Khufu gave a wry smile, then looked at me with that kind of focused eyes and said:
"Actually, I drank more expensive wine," he shook his head.
"It's not delicious."
I stared into his eyes carefully and remembered the last time I saw him, he was singing.
That day, Khufu first mentioned the word "couldn't get on" to me. He told me that he is such an incompetent person, or that he is not the kind of person who works hard. He is not a very good person. He is content to eat and die, and has no ambition.
I said I didn't believe it. Men have an extraordinary desire to get something by hook or by crook.
He shook his head.
"But what happened to Haruko?"
"There's nothing wrong, just too good. I said, I won't be with such a good person. "
"You will regret it."
Say that finish this sentence, khufu didn't refute anything, but looked at the wine in the glass and couldn't help laughing.
Khufu's carelessness can't stop Haruko's heart from blooming, but her business skills set off Haruko's clumsiness in love. Even I often wonder if she has never been in love.
When she makes her mind clear, she will appear more beside khufu. No one noticed at first. Until one time, she pretended to come in to patrol, walked beside khufu, tried her best to put a drink on khufu's table without making a sound, and then went out.
Girls' eyes are always sharper than cats'. Their eyes lit up when they saw this. But thanks to Haruko's lovable personality, they just gave each other a look of "I'll tell you when you see it" and did not show jealousy.
The south wind on one side is gnashing its teeth at the legs of the table.
Khufu pretended not to see it and stared at the screen, so I reached over and saw that I was about to touch the drink. As a result, Khufu's hand swept away the cup like lightning.
There are more and more similar patterns on Chunzi, sometimes a box of sushi, sometimes a cup of hot tea, sometimes a piece of fruit, and even one day, Chunzi deliberately wore a skirt. When Haruko's slender legs are exposed in front of everyone, don't say khufu, even I can't help but drool.
I feel khufu's heart is shaking, although he didn't respond from beginning to end.
One Thursday, when I punched in early in the morning, I knocked on Haruko's office door and saw that she was printing something, so I directly relayed what Khufu said to her.
"Why didn't he tell me when he was on vacation? He asked you to speak for him. "
Haruko turned around and said.
"Maybe I'm sorry."
"Excuse me? There must be something to hide. "
To tell the truth, I don't know what's urgent for khufu. I didn't send any message all day, until I got a call from him at the end of work.
Put down the phone, I hurried to the small restaurant that khufu gave me. As soon as he entered the door, he opened his suit and leaned back in the chair with an empty bottle in front of him.
Unlike ordinary drunkenness, khufu's eyes are not blurred, but empty.
It turned out that he was going to the wedding of his first love.
This is just first love. I understood his feelings and immediately began to put all the comforting words in my stomach, but I suddenly remembered what he said.
"I have drunk more expensive wine, which is not good."
Khufu took out his mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to me. This is a big red and green playground. Among the young students on the playground, you can vaguely recognize that Khufu is hugging a beautiful girl.
They have been in love for three years.
Over the past three years, they have become more and more convinced that each other is the best person for each other. He even fantasized that one day after they got the marriage certificate, they could go back to this playground and hold hands for life.
At that time, khufu was so confident that even if he could not meet the requirements of his girlfriend's mother, he still dared to stand in front of them, holding her hand and saying:
"I love her!"
Just because she was waiting for him, he felt that nothing was impossible.
However, he didn't think of it, perhaps just because he didn't dare to think about it. Finally, one day, when Khufu held her in his arms again, she hesitated to retreat.
Khufu is afraid, afraid. At the moment of her retreat, Khufu fell into the abyss, and there seemed to be nothing around him to catch. It was his most helpless moment, he said to me.
When he said this, khufu had no trace of drunkenness, and occasionally he laughed twice, as if laughing at himself. I understand that it is difficult for people to get drunk at the most uncomfortable time, even if they drink hard.
I seem to understand at once why khufu is indifferent to money and fame and why he dare not respond to Haruko's feelings. I'm afraid this young man who pursues beauty has been disheartened by the word "beauty".
Khufu got up and patted me on the shoulder. I didn't look up because I really didn't know how to comfort him. He walked out of the restaurant for a long time, as if he could still hear crying.
Qi-
The sharp brake sound was very abrupt in the quiet of the evening, and then the noise of the crowd spread into the restaurant. I turned around and saw Khufu curled up in the middle of the road at the door, and a white car stopped in front of him.
I rushed out in an instant. There was no blood on the ground, but no matter how I shook it, Khufu didn't respond. I shouted excitedly until Khufu was sent to the emergency center. My hands are still shaking and I'm still reasoning. I dialed haruko's phone.
Haruko almost rushed in and was stopped and retreated to my side. She noticed that I was holding Khufu's mobile phone in my hand and leaning over to look at the photos on it.
Haruko's expression changed slightly, but the lingering worry about khufu was still on her white face.
Time passed by until khufu was pushed out. The doctor patted me on the shoulder regretfully and said:
"This is just a brief shock caused by a slight concussion. I woke up in less than an hour. "
Haruko long out of breath, has been pushing khufu to the observation ward with the nurse, and never left.
Old Hu Gang seemed a little slow when he woke up. He didn't say a word for a long time, just staring at the ceiling.
Haruko looked at me, I looked at khufu and left decisively.
Everyone was sad that night. Khufu is because of the wedding, and Haruko is because of the photos. I was interviewed by Haruko all night.
She also stayed with khufu for one night.
In fact, I have been wondering whether I should tell Haruko these things. I have been wondering why Khufu didn't respond, but I finally decided to come clean, because at least it was fair to Haruko.
After that, Khufu didn't come to work for a week in a row, and her health was fine, but for Khufu, she undoubtedly opened an unhealed scar.
Haruko's state is also a bit low. She doesn't talk to us much, but she likes to be in a daze in the office. Nanfeng said he was going to have sex, and she called Haruko several times to react.
As time went on, Haruko's condition did not improve after Khufu came back. After I told Khufu these things, he looked at Haruko's office and said nothing.
When winter came, the performance was relatively low, but when Haruko announced to us in a white coat that she would be sent abroad, everyone was still surprised.
"If you are not nervous, you may come back in a few months. If you are slow ... "
Haruko glanced at khufu at random.
"It will be over in a year at most."
One by one, you can see how popular Haruko is in this position.
"Even if you pretend not to care, I'm sure you won't feel better."
In the familiar restaurant, khufu seldom contradicts me.
"In fact, from that day on, you can't talk to me. I've been licking that smell."
Words haven't say that finish, khufu suddenly looked into my eyes, as if expecting me to go on.
"In my opinion, this is indeed one of countless attitudes towards life, but ..."
"But what?"
"But people shouldn't trap themselves. I mean, when you insist on everything, even when real emotions such as sadness, pain and sadness are revealed, you still insist. Then don't you trap yourself? "
Khufu seems to remember something.
"Life is hard enough, why do you have to shut yourself in the loss?"
After drinking the bottom of the cup, khufu and I smiled at each other. Many times I feel like complaining, but this time, Khufu actually listened to every word.
Haruko chose a rather warm weekend to leave. On the way to the airport, Nanfeng and Xiaoyue, our colleagues who have a good relationship with Haruko, reluctantly gave her a ride, and of course khufu.
Haruko still smiled and waved goodbye to everyone. Seeing that Khufu said nothing, we all looked at him and the south wind pushed him out.
"Take good care of yourself."
Haruko looked at khufu for a long time without speaking, leaving this sentence behind and turning around.
"Wait!"
A firm voice, coming from the front, heard this voice, haruko's footsteps stopped immediately.
"I remember I can make a request to you, ok?"
Haruko turned around, smiled at the confident man and nodded.
"Wait for me."
Haruko's eyes suddenly shine in generate.
