Chapter 107
After the reunion, the connection between Gu Mian and Xiao Sisi naturally increased.The two often made appointments to have dinner and go shopping together, and Xiao Sisi even introduced Gu Mian to Li Wanyi.
Gu Mian has been in Q City for six years and has no particularly good friends.It's not that others don't want to make friends with her, but that she doesn't like to get too close to others.In the past six years, she only had occasional contact with Gu Zeyang, and nothing else.
After meeting Xiao Sisi, Gu Mian once again experienced the feeling of being missed.Although she has come here alone in the past six years, it is precisely because she has experienced the loneliness of being alone that she cherishes the feeling of "walking" with her even more.
In the daily relationship, Gu Mian also knows that Xiao Sisi is really happy.With a suitable job, a warm family and a caring lover, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a winner in life.
As Xiao Sisi's friend for so many years, seeing her so happy, Gu Mian was naturally happy for her.But while she was happy, she felt a little bitter because she always thought of Mu Jin.
She would wonder if Mu Jin is also like Xiao Sisi, clinging to her lover every day.Two people will discuss buying a house together, planning a wedding together, and even having a baby together.
Although she was righteous when she left, and now she can smile and say "as long as Xiao Jin is happy", but Gu Mian still has some unrealistic expectations deep in her heart.
——She expects Mu Jin to be like her, who has been waiting for her all these years without being with anyone else.
But she knew that this expectation was unrealistic, so she only dared to bring a little bit, so she only dared to hide it in her heart.
Gu Mian just went to work that day when she was called to the office by the department manager.The department manager flipped through the documents, and said in a casual tone, "If I remember correctly, Gu Mian, you are from City C, right?"
Gu Mian didn't know why he suddenly asked this question, so she nodded and replied, "Yes."
The department manager dug out the information and handed it to Gu Mian: "Do you have any plans to go back to your hometown?"
Gu Mian didn't know what to say, "What do you mean?"
The department manager nodded his chin and motioned Gu Mian to look at the information in his hand: "The company opened a new real estate in City C. I want you to lead the team and be the sales team leader."
Gu Mian was about to refuse subconsciously: "Manager Wan, I can't do it, I..."
"Don't say you can't do it first, read the proposal before making a decision." The department manager looked at Gu Mian and said, "This is a good training opportunity, I don't want you to reject it so easily."
Gu Mian met the line manager's gaze and did not refuse again: "Okay."
The department manager said, "Give me an answer tomorrow," and signaled Gu Mian to go out.
Gu Mian was thinking about this the next day.
Although she subconsciously rejected the department manager before, it was because she was worried that she was not capable enough.If you put aside the question of whether you are capable or not, as a newcomer who has just joined the company for a year, going to City C is definitely a good opportunity that everyone envies.
Gu Mian did not want to lose this opportunity.She wants to develop, change, and earn more and more money, instead of being a grassroots salesperson all her life.
At the same time, she also wanted to go back to City C to see that person.See if she is doing well, and see if she still takes herself to heart—even in the name of a friend.
The day when Gu Mian went to City C, the weather was fine, the sun was shining brightly, the sky was blue and the clouds were white.
In six years, City C has changed a lot.Sitting in the taxi, Gu Mian could only vaguely see the shadow of the past.
Things are wrong.
The reality didn't give Gu Mian too much time to be sad, the new real estate opened, and as the sales team leader, she was too busy to touch the ground.
The scene of meeting Mu Jin in her fantasy on the streets of City C has never happened. Also, City C is so big, it is not so easy for the two of them to run into each other.
After working in the dark for more than two months, Gu Mian finally had time to breathe.She spared herself half a day of free time, and planned to go to the hospital to get a water treatment - she had a cold for more than half a month, and her voice was so hoarse that she could hardly speak.
The weather is getting colder and there are quite a lot of people in the hospital.Gu Mian got the number, but didn't get a bed, took a stool in the corridor to sit and hang the water.
Most of the patients in the hospital are accompanied by someone, not many alone like Gu Mian.Gu Mian didn't care either, she lowered her hair while hanging the water and chatted on WeChat to solve work problems.
After finally clarifying the matter on WeChat, Gu Mian looked up and found that the infusion had been finished, and her blood was flowing backwards along the infusion tube.
Gu Mian was startled, and hurried to find the nurse with the infusion pole.
The nurse was giving an injection to a child. The child was still young, maybe about one year old. He looked very cute, like a finely crafted doll.
She is also very good-natured, she only made two low "hums" when the needle went in, and she neither cried nor made a big fuss.
The one holding the child was a young woman from the back. She was wearing a slim long coat, her black hair was soft and smooth, and she had a soothing fragrance on her body.
After the nurse finished infusing the child, she turned around and saw Gu Mian holding the infusion pole. She was startled: "What's the matter with you?"
Gu Mian looked away from the child, and raised her hand to show the nurse the sucked blood: "My blood has been sucked."
The nurse was used to such scenes, and while muttering angrily, "Why didn't you ask someone to remove the needle earlier, do you know how dangerous you are?", she skillfully helped Gu Mian deal with it.
Gu Mian knew she was wrong, so she thanked the nurse hoarsely.She turned around to leave, but unexpectedly met the eyes of the woman holding the child.
Time freezes.
Gu Mian had thought about the scene of meeting Mu Jin many times, but she never expected it to be like this—she was pale because of a cold, her voice was hoarse and unkempt, and Mu Jin was wearing gorgeous clothes and exquisite make-up, and she was holding a pair of her in her arms. Similarity and Tao Jin have [-]% similar children.
Gu Mian looked at Mu Jin for a long time, and finally said with difficulty: "Xiao Jin."
She thought that Mu Jin would call her name in surprise, or greet her with a smile.Unexpectedly, Mu Jin continued to coax the child with her head down as if she didn't know her at all.
Gu Mian didn't know whether Mu Jin didn't recognize her or ignored her on purpose, but no matter what the possibility was, she wouldn't just leave like this.She took two steps forward and patted Mu Jin's shoulder, and said again: "Xiao Jin, I'm Mian Mian."
Mu Jin raised her head again, with a somewhat indifferent expression on her face: "Oh, it turned out to be you."
——The tone was so unfamiliar that it was like meeting ordinary classmates with no friendship.
Gu Mian didn't know what Mu Jin meant, so she sat down beside her cheekily, and asked without words: "Is this your child? He looks so cute."
Mu Jin lowered her head and gave a non-enthusiastic "hmm".
Gu Mian gave a dry laugh, and continued to look for something to say: "I didn't expect to meet you here."
Mu Jin said a few more words this time: "I didn't expect that either."
Gu Mian clasped her palms together, and asked nervously, "You... how have you been these years?"
"It's pretty good," Mu Jin finally looked up at Gu Mian, with a familiar yet unfamiliar smile on her face, "Having a husband and children, and working leisurely, it's not bad."
Gu Mian's heart was scratched, and she tried not to let her emotions show, and echoed meaninglessly: "That's good, that's good."
Mu Jin didn't answer, and there was an aura of resistance all over her body, "We don't know each other very well, you should go and stop talking about the old days".
Gu Mian is not a fool, so she can naturally feel Mu Jin's unfamiliarity.But she didn't want to leave just now, she finally met Mu Jin, even if she had an awkward chat, even if she was dismissed as cheeky, she still wanted to stay with her for a while.
Gu Mian spoke again: "Grandma, is she okay?"
Mu Jin said: "Very good."
"Does she still live in the old house? I'll go back and see her when I have time."
Mu Jin refused mercilessly: "No, it's not necessary."
Gu Mian's vajra heart cultivated in the workplace was shattered by Mu Jin. She didn't understand why a person who used to talk to her all the time and had no intention of talking became like this.
Even if Mu Jin is unwilling to admit the "love affair" between them, she shouldn't have such an attitude in terms of friendship alone.
Gu Mian was both sad and aggrieved, but she couldn't express these two emotions, so she could only use her warm face to touch Mu Jin's cold butt: "You should watch it, after all, grandma You used to take good care of me. By the way, Xiao Jin, where do you work now? Where do you live? Let’s exchange cell phone numbers and keep in touch in the future.”
Mu Jin frowned deeply, and her tone was impatient: "I said 'no need' and 'no need', didn't you understand? Please step aside, please, don't infect my baby with your disease."
Gu Mian didn't expect Mu Jin to say such a thing, and the sadness and grievance in her heart couldn't be contained immediately: "Xiao Jin..."
"Don't call me by my name, your little Jin died six years ago!" Mu Jin lost control of her emotions, and the child in her arms grabbed her clothes in fear.She took a deep breath and tried to stabilize her emotions, "Go away, and don't even think about contacting me in the future. I am living a good life now, and I don't want to be disturbed by those bad things in the past."
Gu Mian only felt that one of her hearts had been cut by a knife, and then thrown into the meat grinder to be crushed. The pain was so painful that she couldn't breathe.Her eyes were wet, her vision was blurred, she murmured "Take care of yourself", and fled the hospital in embarrassment.
After leaving the hospital, Gu Mian didn't go back to the company, but went home directly.She had many, many bizarre dreams, one time she dreamed that Mu Jin said she missed her very much, and another time she dreamed that Mu Jin said she hated her.
In the dream, she was crying very sadly, and someone wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and she held that person's hand and cried even harder.
"Master, master..."
Gu Mian was woken up by shaking, she opened her eyes, there was no Mu Jin in front of her, only her little apprentice Xu Linli.
Xu Linli was holding a towel in her hand, her face was a little embarrassed.
Gu Mian followed Xu Linli's gaze and saw that she was holding Xu Linli's hand tightly.She let go of Xu Linli's hand and asked feebly, "Why are you here?"
Xu Linli unfolded the veil and spread it on Gu Mian's forehead: "I see that you didn't come to work, and the phone couldn't be reached. I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I came here."
Gu Mian turned her head and glanced at the alarm clock beside the bed, it was already noon the next day.
Xu Linli, whose name is "Linli", is not smart at all.She came to the company for a month and a half and didn't sign out a single order. During the lunch break, she sat in the stairwell and cried very sadly.
Gu Mian happened to encounter this scene, and learned from other colleagues that Xu Lingli's mother was ill and needed a lot of money for treatment.She has no professional expertise, and she heard people say that the real estate industry earns a lot of money and has low barriers to entry, so she entered this industry ignorantly.As a result, I was taught to be a man by the society in just over a month.
With some sympathy in her heart, Gu Mian took the initiative to find Xu Lingli and took her to sign a big deal.
Xu Lingli's commission for the month was settled because of this order, and later signed several orders relying on Gu Mian's contacts.She is endlessly grateful to Gu Mian, calling "Master" sweeter than Monkey King.
Although Xu Lingli's brain is not flexible enough, she is still quite down-to-earth.Gu Mian happened to confiscate her apprentice, so she called her master, and she accepted it.
As an apprentice, Xu Lingli is very qualified. She not only obeys Gu Mian at work, but also takes care of Gu Mian in life.
Gu Mian often didn't have time to cook, so she made it herself and brought it to Gu Mian in a thermos bucket; the floor of Gu Mian's rented house was soaked in water and needed to be redecorated, so she took the initiative to ask Gu Mian for the key to help supervise the work if she had more time.
Another example is this time - Gu Mian fell asleep at home with a fever, she helped bring water, medicine, cooking and porridge, and twisted a wet handkerchief to help physically cool down.
After taking the antipyretics, Gu Mian's mind became clearer.She asked for leave from the company and urged Xu Lingli to go to work quickly.
Xu Lingli groaned and didn't want to leave, but Gu Mian prodded mercilessly: "Do you still want to sign the bill and get a commission?"
When Xu Lingli heard this, she said, "Master, take a good rest and I'll come to see you at night", took her bag and left.
After Xu Lingli left, the room returned to calm. Gu Mian looked at the ceiling, thinking wildly in his head.
It is said that illness makes people vulnerable. Gu Mian didn't understand it before, but now she understands it.
——If it wasn't because she was sick and weak, why would she want to cry at every turn?
Being idle is also idle, Gu Mian took out her phone and chatted with Xiao Sisi.She omitted the background of "going to the hospital for an infusion" and told Xiao Sisi about her encounter with Mu Jin.
Xiao Sisi knew that Gu Mian hadn't mustered up the courage to see Zhang Suqin and Mu Jin for more than two months. Hearing that she and Mu Jin met unexpectedly, she was more excited than Gu Mian herself, and the news came one after another.
"Is Xiaojin very excited?"
"No, I guess you are more excited."
"Have you guys had a long talk? What's going on with Xiao Jin?"
"Did you tell Xiaojin the reason for leaving that year?"
Looking at the long list of messages sent by Xiao Sisi, Gu Mian typed, deleted, and typed the words in the dialog box.Not wanting her negative emotions to affect her friends, she finally summarized the matter in the most concise language: "Xiaojin is married and has a child, and she told me not to contact her again."
"The other party is typing" appeared in the dialog box for a while, and finally Xiao Sisi sent only three words: "Why?"
"Maybe I'm afraid that I will affect her current family."
"But not only have you been together, you've been friends for many years! Doesn't she even recognize you as a friend?"
"should be."
"What are you going to do?"
"I don't know. I said I wanted to go back and see grandma, but she wouldn't let me go back."
"I think you should go and see Grandma Zhang. She is almost the same as your own grandma. You should go and see her if you want to."
"That's what I plan to do too."
"When you look at Grandma Zhang, test Xiaojin's attitude again. I always feel that with her personality, she shouldn't treat you like this."
"it is good."
"Don't be too sad [hug] [hug]."
"It's okay, I'm mentally prepared."
After finishing the chat with Xiao Sisi, Gu Mian opened the dialog box of the work group.Although work is often tiresome, it is also a good medicine to escape sometimes.
She has to keep herself busy, so that she can stop thinking so much, and her heart can be a little less painful.
