My Terrible Life in Those Years

While I was inwardly angry at Du Yan for her lack of ambition, I also had to offer her some words of comfort.

He was afraid that if she went to see him again, it would cause other trouble.

"Go home first, and don't look for him anymore. He's deliberately avoiding you. Looking for him won't help; it'll only make things worse. We'll talk about this tonight!"

After a long and arduous conversation, I finally managed to persuade her to stop. In the end, after hanging up, I almost slammed the phone down!

He swallowed most of the half-full glass of cold water on the table, which barely managed to suppress his anger.

Damn it, what kind of skill is it to bully an honest girl like this?

I paced back and forth in the office more than ten times. When all my colleagues in the large sales department noticed my somewhat neurotic behavior and looked at me, I finally managed to stop.

The body may have stopped moving, but the eyes haven't.

It kept scanning the table.

Cup, computer, telephone, keyboard, keyboard, telephone, computer, cup...

Suddenly, something caught my eye.

Hong Panpan's business card!

Ok? ? ?

This young lady should have no problem dealing with that bastard, that scumbag, right?

The question is, how do I do it?

What should I say? Should I tell her to expose a scumbag in her workplace?

Should she go and help Xiao Duyan?

Will she help me? We've only known each other for two days, okay?

Force yourself to calm down!

After organizing the information on the two restaurants, I knocked on Aunt Shu's office door.

She was looking through and writing on a huge pile of contracts and documents, and asked me to sit in the chair opposite her.

"Wait a minute, let me finish signing these documents!"

I put down the documents in my hand and watched her browse through them and sign them.

I have to say, this woman, though ruthless, is absolutely meticulous when it comes to her work.

He can read documents and materials at a glance.

If there are no problems with the documents, sign them immediately and place them on the side where they have already been signed.

If there's a problem, circle it immediately with a pencil, mark it with a question mark, and put it on the other side.

Her handwriting wasn't very good; it certainly wasn't as good as mine, which I've practiced calligraphy for.

But between the lines, there's always a sharp edge that's impossible to ignore, and it puts immense pressure on you.

Hmm, if only this woman were a little gentler!

The file was processed in just a few minutes.

She put the pen into the pen holder.

"So, have you made plans with Miss Hong yet?"

I snapped out of my reverie and handed her the two documents in front of me.

"I've selected two restaurants as backups. Please have Manager Shu reserve one so I can inform her!"

She took the documents and glanced at them casually.

"These two companies again?" She frowned slightly.

Huh? What do you mean? You're given two options and still not satisfied?

I never expected her to have this attitude.

It's just inviting her to dinner, there are two places to choose from, isn't that enough?

"So, what does Manager Shu mean?"

I'm completely baffled.

"Right now, both we and she are in the eye of the storm. And you, arranging for us to dine in these two overly conspicuous places, I'm afraid..."

She didn't finish her sentence, glancing at me. She deliberately left it unsaid, letting me guess!

I know this woman might test me at any moment, or even examine me from all angles. At this time, can I let her look down on me?

"Hmm, that was my oversight. Well then, let's find a place that's not too conspicuous, but where we can still eat comfortably!"

She was indignant. This kid's reaction was too quick and accurate, making it impossible for her to use her tricks to teach me a lesson.

"So, can you find a place like this?"

It's clear that Aunt Shu really values ​​this meeting and dinner with Miss Panpan.

I ignored her question and continued speaking according to my own train of thought.

"How should I put it? She can come and go from places like construction sites anytime, without being afraid of dirt or disorder. This proves that she's not someone who cares much about her surroundings. The two restaurants we chose were indeed a bit too upscale."

"If someone with ulterior motives sees this kind of place, it certainly won't be in our best interest."

"Finding a down-to-earth place where you can relax, chat casually, and improve communication is really not easy!"

Aunt Shu was too lazy to talk anymore and just watched me talk to myself.

As someone talks, they express their judgment and present a difficult problem, which does seem rather foolish.

I was a little annoyed that they were waiting for me to make a fool of myself.

I suddenly have a strong urge to get a pillow!

Then, feeling both indignant and mischievous, I said loudly, "Hey, I know where there's a place like that."

"Hmm? Where?"

"It's the barbecue stall where I work part-time!"

……

Aunt Shu's eyes widened: "Young man, are you running a fever?"

A thought struck me: the way this woman described me with a fever was quite different from what Xiao Zhou Tong had told me.

But I wouldn't dare say those teasing words to Xiao Zhou Tong.

He argued confidently, "Think about it, based on my description of her just now, she wouldn't care where she eats. That's one point."

"Secondly, that place isn't far from either of our companies! Of course, it's even closer to where I live."

"Thirdly, barbecue stalls are so down-to-earth. A top reporter like her loves to go where she can uncover social hot topics, right? Maybe she can even dig up some big news!"

As Aunt Shu listened, the roundness of her eyes returned to normal.

Nod slightly.

"Is there anything else?"

"Think about it, when we invite her to dinner, shouldn't we show our sincerity and respect? You two can relax and chat while I cook for you, serve you water, and take care of the service. Isn't that much more comfortable than putting on airs and acting like a high-class person in some Western restaurant?"

Her increasingly gentle expression proved that her previous points were indeed valid.

But when she heard my last sentence, she immediately glared at me again.

Damn it, who are you talking about? Who are you calling pretentious, acting like a superior person? I am a superior person!

I quickly explained, "I meant me. I'm not used to those kinds of occasions, and I can't pretend to be a high-class person. Seeing me on TV makes me want to laugh! I don't even have a pair of chopsticks! It's such a struggle to eat something!"

Her dark circles had disappeared.

She glared at me for a while before finally saying, "If you don't know how to use a knife and fork, just say so. And then you try to put us down. Are you really that sure she'll eat at a barbecue stand?"

"Hey, there's one more thing I forgot to mention. You know, when other people invite her to dinner, they always take her to fancy, high-end places."

It's too common and ordinary; there's absolutely no originality to it.

Instead, we'll do the opposite and invite her to a place like this. Just think how much of a life experience and novelty this will bring her?

As for whether she will come, I am very confident.

"Alright, since you've explained it so clearly, let's do it your way." Aunt Shu thought for a moment.

"But if you let her complain about food, I'll definitely punish you!"

Oh my god, I think I've dug myself into a huge hole again!
