Deluge - Chapter 8

[chapter eight]

After leaving Pei Yu’s house, Xu Juan didn’t go back to his own house. He was in a good mood and high spirits. A phone call stopped Guo Shao and others who were just about to go home to sleep. Five or six people gathered together and went to a nightclub to have a good night, and only disbanded after dawn. .

Then Xu Juan slept at home until two o’clock in the afternoon, got up and packed up, and went to work.

It was an ordinary day for him.

Xu Juan’s life was very indulgent, but it wasn’t that he didn’t do anything serious. There was a joke on the Internet a while ago, to the effect that if you work hard and you can’t get good results, it’s better not to work hard, so that when you talk about your failures with others, you can have a good face and attribute the reasons to your own failure to work hard. It’s not the ability.

This paragraph has a sense of black humor, and it is very suitable to describe Xu Juan’s mental state at a certain period of time.

– He really can’t run a company.

Men, more or less, will have some ambitions to make achievements.

Xu Juan’s father, Xu Jiren, was born in the grassroots and never went to college. With his own ability, he has been in the shopping mall for decades and turned a small shop into an international large group. He is a successful entrepreneur in the financial field. Clouds and rains have affected the national economy.

Xu Jiren is a legend, and Xu Juan will not be able to achieve his father’s achievements in the next life. Not to mention his father, he can’t compare to his brother. All his skill points may be added to “Flower Boxing and Embroidering Legs”. Although it is not particularly bad, it is not really good.

In the early years, when Xu Juan was 20 years old, he never thought about these things. He wanted to emphasize himself and want to be free.

But after spending a period of youth recklessly, he suddenly felt that freedom was boring and empty, so he thought about it and started a company.

People often have a self-righteous delusion: When I have had enough fun, the prodigal son will come back and work hard in my career.

Xu Juan’s illusion was more than an illusion. At that time, he was hallucinated just like he was taking drugs.

He began to start a business very seriously, doing everything by himself, from the registration of the company to the development of the company a little like a serious company, with a certain scale, without making a cent of money, and people were tired and lost several laps.

But he actually has a good face, especially the friends around him are the rich second generation of salted fish who have no ideals and no pursuits. He is embarrassed to let people know that he has worked so hard for so long, but he has lost money and lost money so that his mother does not recognize it, so he has to pretend to be light. It’s easy to say that starting a company is a pastime, and life is too boring.

Guo Shao laughed and said yes, my dad gave me 200 million to practice my hand, and I lost it in less than two months, hahaha.

Xu Juan’s eggs were all broken.

He knows that his starting point is high, and he is not afraid of failure, so there should not be so much pressure.

But people are not afraid of falling, they are afraid of pursuing too much. The more pursuits they have, the more they feel that they are worthless, because Xu Juan’s reference is too high, his father is too successful, and his brother is too good. What is it?

Xu Juan struggled psychologically for a while, but the company continued to do it.

But the more I do, the more I realize that my ability is limited. It is really difficult to break out into my own world like his father when he was young.

Later, as he got older, he had been beaten too many times, so he looked away, or in other words, it became a habit.

Life is only a few short decades, how can it be lived? Instead of pursuing the “meaning of life,” let yourself live comfortably and be happy every day.

So, after a lot of tossing, Xu Juan “returned to the basics”, and began to be a playboy who was keen to play beauties and go to nightclubs.

This time he didn’t feel empty, he learned to enjoy.

Not to mention, enjoyment is also a technical activity.

Xu Juan calmly accepted his “no” and understood where he was “good”. He began to use what he was good at to please himself. For example, he was good at playing with people’s hearts, so fighting in love is also a very good thing. A sense of achievement.

Feelings are also a part of humanities and arts. Xu Juan feels that he is a free and romantic great artist.

So, after forcibly sticking a layer of gold on his face, Xu Juan became more and more at ease.

Unfortunately, as the saying goes, too much bad deeds will be punished sooner or later. He slept all day, and then went to the company lazily in the afternoon. When he looked at the door of the office, his secretary, Xiaolin, had a face full of gossip, and informed him of a Unfortunate news: “Mr. Xu, you are on the hot search again!”

“…” Xu Juan was slightly startled, and Xiao

Lin said, “It’s Li Mengzhou, did you two meet last night? It was photographed.”

After some operations on the computer, he copied a few links in the hot search and sent them to his WeChat.

Xu Juan nodded, went into his office, closed the door, turned on his phone and looked at it.

It’s okay not to look at it, but I was shocked when I saw it – the

paparazzi not only photographed him and Li Mengzhou pulling and pulling at the door of the hotel, but also photographed Pei Yu. It is estimated that the paparazzi did not leave after Li Mengzhou left, and kept following him to take pictures. He was too dedicated, how much hatred?

The news headline was very gimmicky: “The popular traffic Li Mengzhou was humiliated after being dumped, and the ruthless rich second generation cheated on the mysterious handsome guy on the spot”

Xu Juan: “…”

It rhymes quite well.

But the first sentence of this revelation Weibo pointed out that “the second generation of the rich” is Xu Jiren’s second son, and once again pulled out Xu Juan’s family and talked about it again. Xu Juan saw it and became angry, but he clicked on the comment. Look, the fire is gone in no time.

The first item of the hot comment was: “Does anyone have a popular science, who is that mysterious handsome guy? Is he also an insider? Why do I think he is much more handsome than Li Mengzhou?”

Xu Juan smiled, thinking that the eyes of the people really did It’s sharp, Pei Yu is far more handsome than Li Mengzhou, he hangs up the entire entertainment industry, it’s a loss for the people of the whole country if he doesn’t make his debut.

But the hot search is so high, Pei Yu was photographed in the face, there are so many college students on Weibo, and it is not good to be seen by his students, which affects Pei Yu’s reputation too much.

Xu Juan paid for it himself and asked people to withdraw the hot search.

Turn around and send a message to Pei Yu.

He said on WeChat: “Mr. Pei, are you busy? I’m sorry about today’s incident. I didn’t expect such an accident.” After

a few minutes of replying, Pei Yu asked him, “What’s the accident?

” …”

He didn’t use Weibo, so Xu Juan had to briefly explain what happened. He thought that Pei Yu, a traditional and conservative person, should be very concerned about his reputation, and he would get angry with him if he didn’t make trouble, but Pei Yu said, “It’s fine. , it’s not a big deal, the clearer is self-clearing.”

This sentence has a bit of a pun, answering his words on the surface, the implied meaning is to draw a clear line: “I have nothing to do with you”.

Xu Juan pretended not to understand, and followed the thread to another direction: “Yeah, in order to cheat traffic these years, entertainment news dares to make up stories by taking just two photos. In fact, I have nothing to do with Li Mengzhou, it’s all rumors. “Oh .

” Pei Yu’s reply was concise and clear.

Xu Juan stared at the word for a long time. It was obviously an ordinary Chinese character that could no longer be ordinary. It was full of indifference and perfunctory. He even made up for Pei Yu’s unhappiness.

Hey, the biggest interest in the pursuit stage is really brain supplementation, and the ambiguity is based on fantasy – whether he likes me or not, I think he likes me.

But of course this is not enough. The deeper the relationship is, the more “deep” happiness can be enjoyed.

Xu Juan thought for a while, then typed: “Mr. Pei, I found that you misunderstood me a bit.”

Pei Yu didn’t reply, he said to himself: “The place where we first met was not very good, you may be preconceived, You put that kind of label on me, but I’m not that kind of person…”

Pei Yu still didn’t reply.

Xu Juan said: “You can’t have a stereotype of me because of my background, I’m also an ordinary person, I also have integrity, bottom line and shame, but sometimes I can’t pretend to be arrogant in the wine bureau, even if I don’t like it. Boldly, socializing is just like that. Of course, I’m not making excuses for myself, I just want to say that although I’m not very good, you don’t need to think of me so badly. If you have a choice, I will definitely Show your best side in front of you, then quietly change the bad parts, and become a good person when you don’t realize it. Unfortunately, my luck is terrible, I finally met a person I like, and people start from the first He hated me right away, no matter what I did, it would get darker and darker in his eyes.”

“…”

Xu Juan sent a long string of text, and he saw that “the other party is typing” was displayed on the chat interface. But after a long time of typing, Pei Yu didn’t reply.

Xu Juan waited for a few seconds, and then posted: “I’m sorry, I said so directly, will it make you very disgusted? I didn’t want to say it directly, and it would be nice to slowly approach you in a joking tone and half-truth. , justifiably, I won’t be pushed away…but I couldn’t hold back, sorry.”

Pei Yu showed that he was typing again.

Xu Juan’s move is called lowering his posture, which is sensational and miserable.

If he said this in the daytime yesterday, Pei Yu would have been impatient and didn’t bother to listen to a word.

But after they had some exchanges with friends through books last night, Pei Yu’s impression of him has improved a lot, and he has collected his copybooks. Although liking the copybooks does not mean liking him himself, it will be because of his love for the house and Wu. A little favor.

Besides, if you really hate him, you shouldn’t like anything related to him, so why would you collect his words?

To put it bluntly, he and Pei Yu now have a little friendship.

Xu Juan put down the phone, leaned back on the seat, and stretched comfortably. Sure enough, with this little friendship, Pei Yu didn’t block him directly like last time. After a few seconds, the phone on the table vibrated. He picked it up and looked at it. Pei Yu said, “I’m not gay.”

Xu Juan: “…”

It turned out that he had been typing this sentence for so long, and he thought that Teacher Pei was going to teach him a lesson.

Xu Juan sighed. He smashed through so many bells and whistles, and the pure and honest Teacher Pei obviously couldn’t stand it. He couldn’t bear it anymore.

But being soft-hearted is a taboo in love, and Xu Juan is determined to soak up Pei Yu.

“I’m not gay either.” Xu Juan said, “I am me, you are you, you like it if you like it, and you don’t like it if you don’t like it. There’s no need to classify yourself into a certain group, and then follow the group rules to imitate other people’s ways to pass the standard. What do you think, Mr. Pei?”

He was so eloquent that he secretly changed the concept, but Pei Yu actually listened to it. Following his thinking pattern, he refused: “I don’t like you.”

Xu Juan smiled slightly, pointing his finger at ” He tapped lightly in “Expression”, and chose a very cute crying face and sent it over: “It doesn’t matter if you don’t like me, it’s fine if I like you.”

Pei Yu sent a string of ellipses.

“I will like you very seriously.” Xu Juan expressed infatuation in the plain words, “I have finished explaining, can I officially start pursuing you now, Teacher Pei?”
