I sat by the bed and called Huang Wentong. He was my direct boss and only he could approve my request for leave. Chu Yue sat next to me, holding a bowl of porridge with some Fuling mustard added. , feed me one bite at a time.
When the call was connected, I immediately pretended to be sick and said softly: "Manager Huang, I am not feeling well. I would like to take a few days off and rest in bed."
My tone was very weak. In order to be more realistic, I coughed a few times toward the side where no one was.
I am very nervous, because this excuse is full of loopholes, and you can expose me if you think about it in depth. Therefore, my forehead is covered with sweat beads. In this hot June, my nervousness is aggravated. Chu Yue took out a towel and wiped it carefully for me. I didn’t expect that when I was a student, I felt nervous about pretending to be sick and asking for leave from my class teacher. I thought it would dissipate and never reappear. I never thought that I would still be like this when I went to class.
"Are you sick?"
Huang Wentong asked me with a tone of doubt and disbelief. I heard the sound of him sipping tea through the screen. I turned on the speaker phone. , I frowned and looked at Chu Yue. She had a nervous and sad look on her face. She was afraid that I would not be allowed to go to Suzhou with her. She put down the porridge and nestled in my arms.
"Well, I have a fever now. I just took antipyretic medicine and my head is still dizzy."
"Then I will ask Yu Qing to visit you and let him come back to work. His marriage leave can be postponed for a while, and he will make up for the tasks you missed."
I was stunned at the time. If this was really going to happen, wouldn't it mean that the marriage leave that Yu Qing had worked so hard to apply for would be invalidated? I remember they said they would go on a three-day trip to Guangxi and then go to Hainan to see the sea. Do I want Yu Qing to work for me for my own selfish gain? My conscience feels bad. The old fox is the old fox. It makes me choose between brothers and love, which makes me miserable.
I was silent, Chu Yue looked at me eagerly, her face was full of regret, this matter must be going bad, she silently red eyes, buried her head in my I sighed softly in my chest, and sighed helplessly in my heart, and slowly said: "If you can't do it, Manager Huang, don't bother him. Yu Qing just got married and asked him to end his wedding leave and make up for the missed tasks for me. I shouldn't have done it this afternoon." Just go to the company and get some sleep."
"Hey, Yan Xiangyang, you don't have to beat around the bush. I heard about what happened in the office yesterday. You asked for leave because of your girlfriend. Really?"
Huang Wentong took a sip of tea. He really couldn't hide it. How could an old fox with ten years of experience not know this little trick? "Well, manager, I beg you, approve it. My request for leave is only for five days. I promise to make a good plan within these five days and then submit it when I return to the company..."
"Stop, I don't want your nonsense. I’ll give you two choices, one is to come back to work in the company, the other is to pack up and leave.”
He put down the tea cup heavily and looked at the phone.I heard the sound of his words. Huang Wentong's tone was firm and serious. He didn't elaborate too much, and there was no chance to plead. One side is work and the other side is love. I am impeccable. Chu Yue choked softly and said: "Xiang Yang, You should go to work and don’t lose your job for me. Jobs in big cities are hard to come by and I’m not worth the risk.”
I gently wiped Chu Yue’s tears with gentle comfort. Said: "It's okay, don't cry. I said I would accompany you to Suzhou, and I will definitely accompany you. I will fulfill my promise. Even if I am fired, at worst, I will go to Suzhou to develop and live there, okay?"
Facing my plea, she nodded, rubbed the corners of her eyes, and stopped crying. I picked up the phone again and said firmly: "Manager, thank you for your cultivation over the years. I still decide On the side of love, I choose to resign."
Huang Wentong on the other end of the phone said calmly: "Well, you come back to the company in five days, go to the HR office to deal with it, then pack up and leave. I'm here. The temple is too small to accommodate a giant Buddha like yours, so you can take care of yourself."
After that, the phone hung up. I hugged Chu Yue and comforted her: "Don't worry, you can find another job if you don't have one. , let's go to Suzhou, I believe there will be a place for me in Suzhou."
Chu Yue leaned on my shoulder and nodded slightly. I was a little regretful that I quit my job like this. Huang Wentong's. I have not forgotten his cultivation, and I will keep his kindness in my heart. While I am visiting Suzhou, I will find a job that suits me and make a plan to give back to the company. This will be my last parting gift.
We packed our luggage and took the 70-stop tram from Xujiahui in Shanghai to Shantang Street in Suzhou. In the tram, Chu Yue leaned on my shoulder. She also felt sorry for me quitting my job. After all, Leaving Shanghai, I can't help but feel a little nostalgic, and I don't want to let it go, but fate is playing tricks on me. I will sacrifice everything for love. I don't know if Yu Qing can still keep his marriage leave after I resign.
I looked at the scenery outside the tram, leaving the high-rise buildings in the big city and heading straight to the plains. There were some low houses sitting on the plains. This endless and unbridled view was so good, my There are hundreds of thousands of mountains in my hometown. The end of the line of sight is a mountain, and the end of the road is also a mountain.
I turned on my phone and checked the travel guide for Suzhou. I saw a dazzling array of delicacies at first sight, such as Suzhou plum blossom cake, red bean dumplings, taro dumplings, Su-style plain noodles, small green dumplings, and squirrel mandarin fish. , the Jiangnan style of Shantang Street, as well as Jiangnan hairpin flowers and various pastries.
I obviously wanted to take a look at the travel route, but it was delicious food, which was a bit abstract. Chu Yue on the side couldn't help but be stunned, "Xiang Yang, are you stupid? I am a serious Suzhou native, you don't ask me Wherever there is delicious food or attractions, you can search them on your mobile phone. Do you think I’m unreliable?”
I almost forgot that she was from Suzhou. She laughed, “I almost forgot.” "You are from Suzhou, I am so confused."
I touched my forehead in embarrassment and Chu Yue said: "Really, you just don't trust me. You don't even know where I am from. It's a shame that I brought you back to my hometown."
She was a little frustrated, so I comforted her repeatedly: "Chu Yue, I just want to see what kind of delicious food there is, and then take you to taste it. Why don't I give you a guide first? I don't mean to look down on you. Your status in my heart is It's very important, otherwise I wouldn't have quit my job and come to Suzhou with you."
Chu Yue put aside her prejudice, leaned on my shoulder, and said softly: "Xiang Yang, I can support you, you. You don’t need to find a job after arriving in Suzhou. I have a house of my own. You can live there. I understand your nature. You want to work by yourself. If you really need it, I will ask my dad to recommend it to you. He has connections. It will be very convenient to find a job.”
“Is it really possible? Your dad wouldn’t mind helping an outsider find a job?”

Chu Yue pinched my thigh, and the pain came through. I couldn’t help but grin and show my teeth. Chu Yue said angrily: "What are you thinking? You are his future son-in-law, and he is helping you." Help yourself, as the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son. My family only has my sister and me. Without you, how can he take care of himself?”
I smiled, that’s true, a son-in-law is half a son, as expected. , I am his future son-in-law and Chu Yue’s fiancé. Although I am not engaged, I believe that these things will be settled by the end of the year. During the Chinese New Year, I will walk into the wedding hall with Chu Yue and have a double happiness.
I want to express myself well this time and let my future father-in-law look at me with admiration. "Okay, if you really can't find a job, please ask my uncle to help me establish connections and give me a job." Find one."
I have changed my name for Chu Yue's father. There are a lot of things to do during this trip to Suzhou, so just solve them and don't worry about anything else.
I changed a few stations along the way and came to Suzhou Shantang. As soon as I left the station, I was attracted by the scenery in front of me. On a river, wooden boats carrying passengers came and went. Willows were planted on both sides of the river. There are countless snack bars, all with red lanterns hanging on them.
In the middle of the river, there is a stone bridge. There are many tourists checking in on it. A misty and rainy Jiangnan style comes to you. Under the sun, the river water is crystal clear, and the hustle and bustle of tourists, There are also fragrant snacks filling this Jiangnan ancient town.
In the Jiangnan in the dream, Gu Di is surrounded by mist and rain. On the stone roads on both sides, some girls are wearing ancient windbreakers, holding candied haws, eating while walking. Suzhou Shantang is like an ancient scroll, which has been preserved for countless years. Precipitated by time,
bloomed with a unique romantic style. It was as if I had just stepped into the mountain pond and traveled back to ancient times. The stone road was winding and winding, and countless girls wearing cheongsams and ancient windbreakers rubbed shoulders with me. However, the shouts of the vendors, cloaked in ancient style, are the essence of modernization.
The breeze blows, the willow branches dance lightly, and the flowersThe petals are falling, and the water under the bridge is gurgling and sparkling. Every time a wooden boat swims by, it will stir up ripples.
On both sides of the river bank, there are ancient buildings with pink walls and black tiles, and vermilion doors and windows. , the hollow carvings are all gorgeous. This is the first time I have given such a high evaluation to Suzhou Shantang.
"Xiangyang, it will look better here at night. At night, the red lanterns on both sides will light up. Those lights hitting the river are red lotuses in the water. At night, I will take you on a boat. Let you experience it. ”
Chu Yue held my hand and, with my reluctant eyes on her, pulled me out of the pond and brought my luggage to her residence, which was on the second floor of a building. The building was unremarkable from the outside, but when Chu Yue opened the door, the decoration inside was very gorgeous. The first floor was the reception hall and dining area, and the second floor had a study room, two rooms, and a toilet.
I put my luggage in the living room and sat on the sofa. The TV had a crystal screen, which was very large and wide. I looked around. Chu Yue walked up to the second floor and lay on the side of the guardrail on the second floor. She shouted to me below: "Xiang Yang, I'm going to change clothes. I ordered takeout. Let's go to the moat later."
I answered and it turned out that she had even arranged the travel schedule. Now, I don’t have to bother reading the guide, I can sit back and enjoy the results, which is as happy as eating soft rice. I took out my guitar and a laptop from my luggage. To me, this guitar has no It has no meaning, but I only have one, so it would be a pity to throw it away now.
I opened my laptop and started making ppts when I had nothing to do. Now the company’s goal is to innovate independently, use everyone’s imagination, and come up with some attractive enough plans to attract brands to settle in, but I have no clue. , ccLoG’s brand’s main customers are women, and their products are all women’s products, such as perfumes and brand-name bags.
My goal is to start from this. I have to make a plan that can make women consume after seeing it. It not only has advertising design, but also consumer discounts, brand packaging and so on. The success of a plan , which means that countless days and nights of hard work have been recognized, which is a very fortunate thing.
I had no clue, I opened the ppt and didn’t touch a word.
The sound of water came from the bathroom upstairs. Chu Yue was taking a bath. My heart was very restless. I don’t know why? I can't calm down all the time. Maybe I'm too nervous. I have to visit her parents in the evening. This is my first visit. Will her parents accept me? There is also her sister. I haven’t asked Chu Yue’s sister how old she is. If she is still young, I will buy some toys and take them over.
If I am in junior high school or above, I will buy exercise books.
I picked up the remote control of the air conditioner on the glass table and turned on the floor-standing air conditioner. The cold wind was blowing. In the hot summer, I felt a bit of winter refreshment. I took the takeaway and laid it. On the glass table, Chu Yue was wearing simple pajamas, her hair was wet, and she was wrapped in aA white towel came down, "Wow, the takeout came so quickly."
"Well, it's very rich."
I picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat to eat It tasted worse than Chu Yue's. It was not so mushy, very woody, and a little chewy. "How is it? Is it delicious? I saw that this store has many good reviews, so I ordered the potato stewed pork from this store. There are cabbage, bean sprouts, and green pepper beef."
After that, Chu Yue took out her phone and looked at the takeout order on Meituan, confirming everything. I swallowed the pork in my mouth and commented: "No. You are good at cooking. The pork is not mushy, and it is not fragrant or tasty. I still want to eat the rice you cooked."
I smiled, picked up a piece of potato and ate it. Chu Yue put down the phone. , picked up the chopsticks and put some beef into my bowl, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you can eat the rice I cooked if you want. I will cook it for you next time. We will go to my parents' house for dinner tonight. I have asked them to Prepare some food and an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks."
I hummed and took a few mouthfuls of rice, feeling the warmth of being in a foreign land...
I I took out my mobile phone and turned on the camera, and secretly took a few photos of Chu Yue who was lowering her head to eat. She suddenly raised her head and murmured about the food. She didn't stop me from taking pictures, and immediately smiled and acquiesced to me.
The way she smiles is very beautiful and warms my heart. I want to use a camera to record the beauty of this moment, the beauty of me and her...
