How to be a patron

Chapter 23

Knowing that there must be ups and downs at work, and being humiliated is an expected setback, I still couldn't control the deep frustration. I was depressed on the way home and fell out of bed after entering the house.

Alas, I should have realized that I am an idiot long ago. This is not okay, and that is not okay. Is it a matter of course, I thought to myself.

But that kid Fuwa said that about me in front of all the elders, it really embarrassed me.The word idiot can't get rid of in my head.

So when I received a call from Gou Meng, I didn't feel much happier.

"Hello—" I dragged my voice, and everyone felt that I was full of melancholy.

"Are you busy?" Gou Meng didn't pay much attention to my abnormal response, and started the topic anxiously.

"No——la, what's the matter?" I knew that this attitude was too lazy and might arouse his disgust, but I still couldn't control the depressed deer in my heart.

"It's nothing." Gou Meng seemed to be holding his breath and waiting for me to speak. At this moment, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down his speech, "I just... want to talk to you."

Normally, I would have jumped up and down with joy when I heard this unsolicited overture, but at this time, I really didn't feel like jumping up from the bed, so I just replied to him lightly: "Well, I also want to talk to you."

"Xiaotian, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?" He didn't realize that something was wrong with me until now.

"Oh," I couldn't help opening up after being hooked by him, "Today at the company's meeting, Fu Tianwo embarrassed me in public, saying that the materials I made were a mess, and I was not worthy of being the boss of 'Fuying'. I Never once, I feel so useless, I think I have done my best, but others don't recognize it at all, and laugh at me, I am really angry and sad. And my uncles and uncles, the more they speak for me , I am more and more embarrassed."

I poured out all the bitterness to him, only to realize later that I had no courage and was considered an idiot, but I said everything, and I couldn't say any more sweet words to redeem him. Grooming, he could only exhale heavily and wait for Gou Meng to reply.

The other end was quiet for a long time before Gou Meng's soft tone came: "Xiaotian, everyone has shortcomings, you have to learn to face them squarely and overcome them, and you will become stronger."

When I heard him filling me with chicken soup, I didn't have much reaction, but I was still depressed: "I know. But I feel really stupid. I'm afraid I won't be able to carry this 'Fu Ying'."

There was a rustling sound from the other end, I guess it was Gou Meng lying on the bed.

"Xiaotian, there are some things you need to do by yourself. Frustration, pain, and loss are all illusory feelings. Only by turning them into thinking, motivation, and growth are the treasures you can cherish forever."

I closed my eyes, and countless fragments flashed through my mind at lightning speed. It seemed that I relied on my parents and uncles along the way. It was really my own earned wealth, which was very little.

My pride is fragile.

"I understand. I will work hard, thank you for your encouragement." I tried my best to respond to Gou Meng with brisk words, but I still couldn't hide my overwhelmed sense of failure.

"By the way, what did you say you wanted to tell me?"

The other end was quiet for a while: "It's okay, Xiaotian, ah, I suddenly have something else to do now, so I'll see you next time."

"Oh." I knew that he might have something to say to me, and I knew that he might be lying to me when he said that there was something urgent, but I didn't want to worry about it so much now, so I said goodbye to him and ended the call.

I stared at the chandelier on the ceiling and could even feel the flickering frequency of the lights.My heart lost focus along with my eyes, wandering aimlessly, I don't know where the end is...

"Crack." The sound of paper being thrown onto the table.

Fu Tianwo crossed his arms. Today, perhaps to humiliate me, he deliberately dressed more formally. He took off those jingling decorations. With a black suit on his body, the street gangsters also looked like men.

"How?" He said coldly, and the whole conference room was rattled.

I looked at the material in my hand, and there seemed to be tens of thousands of hair-raising molluscs crawling away recklessly behind me.Cold sweat broke out unknowingly, and the heat from my cheeks blurred my vision.

I have to admit that my cousin, who seems to be doing nothing, is much better than me. Although the report in my hand is not top-notch, it is enough to humiliate me, a "high-achieving student" from a major.

I don't know where the perseverance came from, and forced a smile on my face: "Tianwo's proposal is really good, let's see if you have any other ideas?"

Uncle Six originally wanted to speak for me with an angry expression on his face, but when he saw that I not only didn't fight back, but was also very cowardly, he was very disappointed: "You can figure it out, I don't have any ideas."

The lack of sleep caused my temples to throb and hurt, and I tried to cheer up: "Then, let's implement this proposal for a while and see."

……

After everyone else left, Uncle Six got up from his seat, walked to me, patted my shoulder sadly, and left without saying a word.

Vision is a little blurry.I grabbed the broken hair on my forehead, which was still firmly fixed on the top of my head this morning, and now it was drooping sadly because of sweat, and a few strands were still stuck to my forehead.I dialed it twice but failed to dial it up. I became upset and thought that I must cut off all the disobedient hairs when I go back today.

Sitting in an empty and quiet conference room for 5 minutes, I feel 50 years older.

Futianwo's copywriting is still in my hands, and it is already wrinkled to the point of horror.I stuffed them into the bag casually, stretched my muscles and bones, and planned to go home and have a good sleep.

Many times, because of some negative thoughts, I am eager to avoid the outside world and my own heart, so I will choose excessive sleep, and even force myself not to wake up.Warm quilts and closed doors can give me a huge sense of security, I like them.

But when I lay back on the bed and couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, I realized that I hadn't relied on them for a long time.

The man who led me out of passive dependence did not become my new dependence.

Time passed quickly, and I watched the sky darken little by little, feeling empty in my heart.I didn't get out of bed to eat, or even go to the bathroom during this time. The bed became my safe haven, and I buried myself in it, hoping for a little comfort.

I was dazed for a while and woke up with throbbing pain in my temples.I used to stay up late and sometimes suffer from migraines, so I always keep Fenbid at home.I lay down for a while again, I really had a headache, got out of the bed, half-walked and half-crawled to the small medicine box in the living room.The headache made my vision a bit blurred. I opened the medicine box irritably, and a small ornament next to the medicine box was swept to the ground by me, and it made a crisp breaking sound, which made me tinnitus again.

The two-story push-pull medicine box is empty, and the standing medicine that was full before has gone to nowhere, and a few bandages are "stretched" hidden in the corner of the ground floor.

I looked at the medicine box dully for a while, and then I suddenly remembered that when Gou Meng left here, he once helped me clean up and threw away all the expired food and medicine.Later, I was too lazy to clean up, and I hired a few hourly workers, but how could they help me prepare the necessities of life thoughtfully.

The pain is like the waves in the sea, sweeping in wave after wave, and the waves are stronger than the waves. I was hit by the turbulent waves, but I didn't suffer from fainting, so I could only endure the huge pain. Unwell, call the assistant: "Bring some painkillers and food to my house."

"Boss, what's the matter with you?" The assistant seemed completely unaffected by the atmosphere of the morning meeting. Just hearing the loud background sound, I knew she must be shopping in that shopping mall in the city center again.

"I'm a little uncomfortable." My body was tortured, and my temper was not much better. "Come here quickly."

"Oh...Okay." Her tone was full of dissatisfaction with the sudden work.

I knelt and sat on the ground, the coolness of the tiles climbed up my ankles along the pajamas, then my thighs, my abdomen... Then I felt that my heart was also cold.

I'm sure I'm not weak enough to cry, but my whole body is groggy, my nose is blocked, and after I sneezed a few times, water mist formed in front of my eyes, and tears accumulated in my eye sockets, ready to burst out at any time.

The assistant opened the door of my house, just in time to see my miserable appearance.

Wearing a messy chicken coop head and short pajamas printed with Two-dimensional cartoon patterns, I knelt in the living room and looked at her with tears in my eyes.

Her heart softened immediately, and her mother's love was fully displayed, and her complaints immediately turned into comfort: "Oh, my boss, go back to bed, oh~ I'll get you something to eat right away."

I was lying back on the bed half-dominated by her, and she asked me to sleep a little longer.She didn't know I was sick, and thought I was just hungry and too lazy to go out, so she just bought some foreign fast food along the way, and now she had to go downstairs to buy some light food and cold medicine.

I really want to sleep, but I can't fall asleep because of the pain. The headache feels like ten Super Saiyans are hitting me with sledgehammers in turn!And at the beginning, the pain had intermittent periods, maybe every one or two minutes, but gradually, the pain became more and more intense, and I could hardly think, so I just wanted to pass out quickly, and even hoped for a doctor Come here and open my forehead to see if it has become a mess inside.

After turning around a hundred times, I found that it was just a waste of energy, and it didn't help to relieve the pain at all. I could only force myself to be quiet and try to think of something else to divert my attention.

Ah... I remember that once I caught a cold, I woke up the next day with a faint discomfort, and at night the pain was unbearable.I groaned and moaned on the big bed with my head in my arms, and Gou Meng sat on the side to accompany me.
