Break-up - Chapter 5
Gu Yanting’s idea of buying a ticket and going back eventually came to nothing.
He called for leave on the front foot, but there was a problem with the back foot project.
Their company specializes in interior design. This project was introduced by an old client. Gu Yanting worked in the company for three years. The manager wanted to train him, so he asked him to bring the team over by himself. It’s a chance to give him a chance to practice.
Gu Yanting came with great ambitions. Who would have guessed that within a day, the project client would change his mind, expressing dissatisfaction with their design and requiring a change of team.
Gu Yanting can only push back the things he went back to, and first bring his assistant to coordinate with the other party. For a while, he couldn’t care whether Tang Yi was in Mali or on a donkey. After several calls and no one answered, I could only frown and send a text message.
Gu Yanting was busy over there, and Tang Yi had a hard time.
Soymilk was originally called Zhou Weiwei, and his father was Zhou Hao who was driving in front.
Zhou Hao is Tang Yi’s immediate boss and a member of ER’s board of directors. However, Tang Yi works at the ER branch in T City, and usually meets with such a big boss no more than three times a year.
What’s more, every time he goes to the meeting as the department manager of the branch, he can only sit in the second lap far away.
The inner circle is the company’s top management. During the meeting, they don’t look sideways, and they don’t even look at a subordinate like Tang Yi.
So Tang Yi faintly regretted the sentence “Mr. Zhou” that he blurted out.
After all, from Zhou Hao’s puzzled look in the restaurant, he quickly understood that Zhou Hao didn’t recognize him, or that he didn’t recognize him at all. And his name not only reported his family, but also showed another unhappy thing.
He took care of the big boss’s house – soy milk, oh no, it should be Zhou Weiwei’s young master, who is begging for both hard and soft to go with him.
Tang Yi sighed silently in the back seat, but his face was still calm.
Zhou Hao obviously came to pick up his son, and a child seat was installed in the back. Zhou Weiwei sat inside, his little hand still hooking Tang Yi’s little finger. Timidly and curiously, he occasionally looked at Zhou Hao.
Although Zhou Hao looked unhappy, he still politely communicated with Zhou Weiwei.
“Is your name Weiwei?” Zhou Hao glanced behind him from the rearview mirror, his eyes stopped for half a second on Tang Yi’s caught little finger, and then moved away.
Zhou Weiwei nodded solemnly, “Yes, Dad.”
Tang Yi: “…” It’s too natural for a child to call his father, just like calling his uncle and aunt, he just opens his mouth. Tang Yi frowned, feeling that Zhou Weiwei’s behavior was very cooperative, and even a little weird to please Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao unknowingly made a hum from his nose.
After a few minutes, Zhou Haocai said again, “I didn’t know your mother gave birth to you before, and she didn’t notify me, so it was a little late.”
Tang Yiyin’s phoenix pupils behind his eyes froze, he turned his face calmly, and looked at Zhou Weiwei.
Three years… is this too late?
It seems that the boss is very unkind, and what he said sounds like an apology, but thinking about it carefully, he puts the blame on the woman.
“It’s okay, Dad.”
Tang Yi: “…”
Zhou Hao nodded again with satisfaction, and suddenly asked, “Do you have another name, Soybean Milk?”
Zhou Weiwei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Tang Yi, “Well…”
Before Zhou Weiwei’s “father” came out next week, Zhou Hao looked directly at Tang Yi from the rearview mirror with a half-smile.
“Black Beans or Soybeans?”
Zhou Weiwei was a little confused, and looked at Tang Yi with a blank face, obviously not understanding his father’s problem.
Actually, Tang Yi looked gentle and honest, but he was also detrimental. For example, he called Weiwei Soybean Milk, not only because the advertisement was too brainwashed, but also because Zhou Weiwei’s unreliable mother was a little black.
Black is simple, black is thorough.
When I saw Zhou Hao just now, Tang Yi was surprised, but at the same time he didn’t forget to name the pair of parents – “Coffee Milk”.
Zhou Hao stared at Tang Yi from the rearview mirror, his gaze was a little hot, and when it was refracted by the rearview mirror, it was extremely lethal.
If he can open his mouth, he can stab at the center of the problem, and Tang Yi has no chance to hide it.
Zhou Hao raised his eyebrows.
Zhou Weiwei was stunned for a while, then turned his head, “I’m not black…”
Tang Yi: “…”
Zhou Weiwei: “I’m numb and black…”
Zhou Hao drove all the way to a suburban house with the corners of his mouth raised. Tang Yi took the child down, sent it to the entrance, and turned to leave. At the beginning, Soy Milk held him and he had no choice but to help coax the child over.
But now, seeing the two men chatting about Ultraman and the little monster, Tang Yi knew that the bloodline thing had started to work.
Zhou Weiwei got out of the car and gathered up his little jacket, Tang Yi let go of his hand and motioned Zhou Hao to take the child over.
“Mr. Zhou, I’ll take my leave first.” Seeing that Zhou Hao didn’t respond, Tang Yi could only remind him.
Zhou Hao walked in front of him for a while, looked back at him in surprise, “Are you going?”
Tang Yi blinked, not quite understanding.
Zhou Hao then glanced at Zhou Weiwei again, Tang Yi frowned, and heard Zhou Weiwei cry with a “wow”, “Susu lied to me! Susu said he was with me…”
In the beginning, the child did thunder and no rain, but then he really cried, “Susu, I’m afraid… Would you like to accompany me, just once…”
Zhou Hao also frowned and said, “The child is not familiar with me, please trouble Mr. Tang.”
…
Tang Yi is neither stupid nor stupid, at a glance, I know that the two men have reached a united front. Some were dumbfounded.
Tang Yi grew up eating hundreds of restaurants, and has become accustomed to being a guest at other people’s homes. Zhou Hao was obviously inexperienced in dealing with children, so after explaining the room and other places that Tang Yi might use, he went into the study on his own.
I waited until Tang Yi woke up the next day to say goodbye, but I didn’t see Zhou Hao.
Fortunately, a nanny came to the house. Tang Yi explained Zhou Weiwei’s usual preferences to the nanny. On the way back to the hospital, he found that his mobile phone had long been dead.
When he returned to the hospital and was caught by the little nurse, he turned on the phone slowly and saw the text message Gu Yanting sent last night.
“Don’t run around, it’s not safe outside, eat well.”
Tang Yi: “…”
This text message made him speechless for a long time.
Tang Yi tapped on the screen with his fingers, and just typed two letters before pressing the delete key.
Autumn Tiger launched Yu Wei these two days, Tang Yi changed himself to a single room yesterday, and also chose a sunny ward because of his good relationship with the medical staff.
At this moment, the noon sun hit him unscrupulously, and the golden light shone on him. After he took off his glasses, the phoenix eyes that were exposed were drawn with majesty, and the fine long eyebrows were lit up.
Tang Yi put the phone aside and slowly closed his eyes.
He and Gu Yanting said that the breakup was serious, but the latter’s understanding of this was obviously not on the same level as his.
Tang Yi could even imagine that when he left, Gu Yanting could call his brothers in surprise.
—Hey, Tang Yi told me to break up! Strange, right? Gee, that’s weird…
Actually, Tang Yi couldn’t tell, the conflict between him and Gu Yanting was irreconcilable, whether it was because of their incompatibility or because of Lin Rui’s stab in the bone.
When Tang Yigang and Gu Yanting were together, they were both fresh graduates.
Gu Yanting was driven by the economic gap between him and Lin Rui to go into a rage.
Later Gu’s father and Gu’s mother put together hundreds of thousands of dollars for him. Tang Yi accompanied him home to get the money. The money was cut off.
That was the first time he intervened in Gu Yanting’s affairs. The money was returned to Gu’s father. Gu’s father was obviously relieved, but he was worried that his son would resent him because of it. The son has nothing to do.
So Tang Yi found his friend again, put Gu Yanting into a design company, and asked his friend to draw a big cake for him. The main idea is to tell Gu Yanting how easy and comfortable this is, what a good job with money.
That was the second time he intervened in Gu Yanting’s affairs.
Gu Yanting is not without complaints about this, but he is a wild horse, but he does not know why he repeatedly compromises with Tang Yi. on the avenue.
Tang Yi was very satisfied with this for a while, even a little proud.
Until one time, he accidentally saw an email from Gu Yanting.
The recipient is Lin Rui.
The content is very sensational, and the general summary is: Why don’t you answer the phone? Hey, do you need me somewhere? If you have it, just say it straight, Mr. I am working now, I can afford a lot of things, and I will give you what you want.
Have you made a boyfriend yet? I do have one, but it’s too much **** control, he’s everywhere, it’s annoying. I don’t like him, so I really want to finish it as soon as possible.
The last two sentences were like a hot slap, and slapped Tang Yi’s self-righteous face. Since then, these ten words have been branded over and over in his mind. Come and go, no peace.
When was that?
By the way, that was the day after they took the “wedding photo”.
It’s a bit ironic when I think about it now, a person with a character like Tang Yi is almost a scheming person, and he will pay for it.
However, he tolerated Gu Yanting carrying a knife and poking holes in his heart, every poke is accurate.
He has endured hardships that his peers never thought about since he was a child, and it is inevitable that he is a little paranoid. However, he also received great kindness from the society—whether it was the kind and honest villager neighbors, or the teacher who secretly subsidized him every time he went to school, and earnestly encouraged his classmates, all of them allowed him to grow up unscrupulously and at the same time keep the bottom of his heart. The truest kindness.
So when Tang Yi felt that his heart was shattered by a word, he was far less sharp than the razor-sharp decision in the shopping mall.
He sighed and began to persuade himself: “Forget it, Tang Yi, why bother hanging your heart on someone’s neck, making people feel fishy!”
He has always been in a good mood, and he hesitated over and over again on the matter of breaking up.
Sometimes he heard Gu Yanting making phone calls to the other side of the ocean with jet lag.
However, sometimes seeing Gu Yanting smirking unguardedly at him, with his own reflection in his deep eyes, he would feel that breaking up was a fool’s errand—compared to the small three around him who were on and off. Little Four, Gu Yanting is not even considered a mental infidel.
Tang Yi doesn’t want to be too aggressive. Sometimes he thinks that time may dilute everything, but time can’t dilute it. If Lin Rui changes, maybe Gu Yanting doesn’t like him.
So he knew that Lin Rui had dated several men at the same time, knew his poor performance in school, and when he knew about his money worship and promiscuity, he tested Gu Yanting’s opinion.
The latter however showed unexpected understanding and sympathy.
“His family situation is a bit complicated…” Gu Yanting was full of distress and guilt at the time, “In such a family, it’s really distressing. It’s not easy for him.”
Tang Yi answered sarcastically, “Live in a pig sty and cry all over yourself?”
Gu Yanting frowned.
After Lin Rui came back, he proved with his own actions that he really did not dislike Lin Ruisao, and he was happy with it.
Tang Yi’s days off will soon pass. He didn’t know how to respond to Gu Yanting, so he put it aside and didn’t reply.
Gu Yanting kept the same silence.
However, there are a lot of things in the company. As soon as the weekend came, assistant Xiao Yang called him.
“Manager Tang, on the 11th, our company organized a study at the headquarters, and it was notified that all the management should participate. I sent the schedule to your mailbox, you can see what day I set for you. Is the flight right?”
ER has a wide variety of benefits. At least two trips are organized every year, and the name is learning. For example, the “study” on the 11th is the accommodation arranged from 9.28 to 9.30. The meeting is only open for half a day on the morning of the 29th.
Their head office is registered in Haikou. Although most of them have moved to Shanghai after they have grown, the general meeting is still arranged in Haikou. Hotels and air tickets will be reimbursed, but I will go wherever there is nothing wrong.
As long as it was not a formal meeting before Tang Yi, it was all excuses. Because he is the fastest climber among the various branches of ER. In the past two years, there has been a tendency for ER to be assigned to stand. If he shows up in such casual occasions, it is easy to be pulled to stand in line.
Standing in line is too subtle, sometimes just a glance or an excuse will be over-interpreted by the other party, and then you will be labeled as “enemy” or “me”.
If you stay neutral, you will be offended by both sides. Tang Yi might as well be forced to participate this time, frowned, and said to Xiao Yang, “Let me see.”
Xiao Yang responded and sent a list of the participants.
At the end, he ran into some corner and told Tang Yi somewhat mysteriously, “Manager Tang, that deputy manager Lin has come to work.”
Tang Yi said, “Huh?”
Xiao Yang paused slightly and explained, “As soon as he came, he asked me to be an assistant, saying that anyway, since you are not here, the company hasn’t given him a new one, so why don’t he use me first. “
Tang Yi chuckled, “Then what?”
“I’ll go,” Xiao Yang said, “but when I scanned the document, I accidentally scanned a few more copies, and then sent it to your mailbox, which is the one you gave me last time Private email to send photos.”
When Xiao Yang was just working, he felt that it was a good idea to join the ER as an assistant. The young man boasted a few words when he was gathering with his friends. Once Tang Yi went to work, he ran into two girls who wanted to go in and look for Xiao Yang.
The company stipulates that during working hours, except for the general manager, others are not allowed to receive private visitors. The two girls were stopped at the front desk, their faces turned red with embarrassment. Tang Yi smiled and relieved them, took a photo of them with the ER company logo, and praised Xiao Yang a few words on the way, and encouraged the little girl.
Personal mailboxes were left at that time.
Xiao Yang was still a little nervous, “Manager Tang, I don’t know if this will work… If you’re wrong, just scold me…”
Tang Yi sighed softly, “Well, don’t do this in the future, just work hard, don’t worry about such things in the future.” He was silent for a while, and said, “It’s not good for you .”
Tang Yi had never participated in the standing team before, and now he was stabbed, but he still didn’t know who took him as a thorn in the side. The first strike is strong and then the attack suffers. He can not move, but he cannot be passive.
Xiao Yang helped him a lot this time, but he also committed a major taboo in the workplace.
Xiao Yang repeatedly agreed, “Well, thank you Manager Tang.”
The flight ticket was still scheduled for the morning of the 28th. Tang Yi simply packed a few clothes and set foot on the plane for a business trip.
The company arranged for them all standard rooms, one for two. Before, Tang Yi and Ning Zeyu were both in the same room. They were both managers of the marketing department. They were in charge of the first and second departments.
However, when he arrived at the hotel this time, he found that the name of the room with him was blank on the schedule.
Tang Yi squinted and greeted the female employee who handled the registration: “Help me find out who else lives in 2408?”
“Okay, wait a moment…” The keyboard tapped twice, saying what Tang Yi didn’t want to hear.
“It’s Lin Ruilin, the deputy manager of T City.”
