Ning Shuyi listened to Xia Shilong's story and took notes on the notepad he carried with him. After writing, he added two underlines under the word "leader".
After hearing what he said, Huo Yan asked, "Do you think there are any other external reasons for the change in your relationship with Wu Meifang?"
Xia Shilong looked at him: "Are you talking about whether there is a third party?"
"You understand correctly." Huo Yan nodded, acknowledging his understanding.
Xia Shilong immediately shook his head: "No! Absolutely not!"
"You are quite confident in your relationship." Ning Shuyi raised her eyes and looked at him.
"Of course! No...what do you mean?
You don’t think that the leader is not related to Wu Meifang, but something else? Xia Shilong frowned, seeming a little unhappy, as if he had been greatly humiliated, "It's not like I haven't asked about her leader!"
Wu Meifang said, that old man is already in his forties. Have you ever heard that a semi-old man in his forties can loosen the corner of a young man? "
"There are no absolutes in the world." Ning Shuyi smiled and didn't take it seriously. "And since you said there is absolutely no third party between you, why did you ask about the leader of his unit?"
Xia Shilong immediately replied: "Then I made sure that there was no third party between us after my own elimination!
At the beginning, I also felt that her boss was always looking for her, and I felt that Wu Meifang always avoided me when we talked on the phone, and her demeanor when talking on the phone was not her usual one. Same.
At that time, I thought this was someone of similar age to us. But then the more I heard about it, the more something was wrong. I felt that it was not the case. The person must be much older than Wu Meifang.
So later I asked her why the leader always came to her. Is this appropriate?
At that time, Wu Meifang was not as bad-tempered as she was later. She was upset when she saw that I was jealous, and she even coaxed me to come, saying that he was the leader of her unit and he was in his forties.
She said that she usually had to rely on the leader to take care of her at work, otherwise, there would be bumps every step of the way, so of course she had to have a better attitude. Which leader would like a subordinate whose face looks longer than Mount Emei every day?
She also said that there is no harm in girls being more talkative and sweet-tongued in front of leaders. She also laughed at me for being jealous of a man of that age.
When I thought about it, it was right! An old man is just more talkative and sweet-talking, but his age is there after all. How can he stand up to a hot-blooded young man like us?
Being jealous of someone like this made me look down on myself. Plus, Wu Meifang later asked me if I didn't trust her, so what else could I say! If I don’t believe my own girlfriend, who will?
So the matter fell apart, and it has always been like that. Especially during this period, her boss didn't contact her as frequently as before, so I didn't have to worry!
That person didn't have any influence on us. From the beginning to the end of our relationship, no one else was ever affected. "
"Did her work be affected by something?" Ning Shuyi asked again, "Otherwise, why did the leader occasionally contact her during breaks to work overtime, but then suddenly stopped contacting her?
Are you marginalized within the unit? "
"Marginalized...you mean someone in the unit is ostracizing her? Isolating her?" Xia Shilong didn't understand what Ning Shuyi meant.
Ning Shuyi shook his head: "It's not necessarily because of exclusion and encouragement, but also because of lack of work ability, improper work attitude, or...offending the leader, so I deliberately put her aside and didn't reuse her."
When Xia Shilong heard this, he seemed to be inspired. He remembered something that he had not thought of before. He sat up straight suddenly. The towel on his back slipped to the ground due to this sudden movement, but he did not pick it up. , without even realizing it.
"Ah! I almost forgot to tell you just now! Yes! Wu Meifang has
Unhappiness at work! " He seemed to be inexplicably excited because he remembered a very important thing, "There was a while ago, about... about half a year ago!
At that time, her boss didn't look for her as frequently as before, and she was always in a bad mood. She asked me out more often than before, but she always looked unhappy.
I asked her what was wrong, but she didn't tell me at first. Then I chased her and asked her. I don't know whether she couldn't hold it in anymore or was annoyed by my questions, so she complained to me.
She said that things at work were not going well for her, and her boss painted a pie for her. The pie had been painted for several years, and the words were more beautiful than the songs. However, after several years, the things promised to her were not fulfilled at all. Not honored!
She was unhappy and talked around the bush several times with her boss. As a result, the boss not only failed to fulfill his promise to her, but also lost his temper with her, saying that she had a bad attitude, was ignorant, etc., and continued to fool her by trying to make a big deal out of her.
So she was not very happy with her boss. She didn't know what would happen in the future, so she was in a bad mood. "
"What happened next? What changes happened to Wu Meifang's job?" Huo Yan asked.
"No, nothing has changed." Xia Shilong shook his head. "I comforted her at the time. I said that things had happened anyway, so let's just let the conflict go! Who can bear to be in a fight all day long? Isn't that bullying?
I told her that we were not angry with her. She was an adult in such a lousy work unit. She would not allow her to fall in love and care about this and that. Her parents at home were not as lenient as her lousy work unit!
I said that since everyone was so unhappy anyway, the quarrel was over, or else I should just resign! In this way, we can be together openly. Anyway, my studio is my own business. She just came over to help me take care of it, and we turned it into a mom-and-pop shop!
Every penny earned in this way belongs to us, and I will hand over the money to her to help me take care of it! Let’s work together to save money to buy a house and get married! "
"Did she agree?"
"No..." Xia Shilong shook his head with some disappointment, "She said at the time that she would consider it and wait and see. If there was really no future, she would listen to my plan and resign and come to build a fitness mom-and-pop store with me.
She was so good to me at that time, so good that I felt flattered.
I felt that she must have been squeezed in the workplace, so she needed someone to comfort her. Otherwise, a girl as independent as her would not be so coddled all of a sudden! "
