After reporting to the banquet, Qiu Fu quickly returned to the Finance Office on the eighth floor.
Zheng Shuyi was still waiting for him, sitting quietly holding a cup of hot coffee.
Qiu Fu looked at her from a distance.
In fact, Qiu Fu is a very typical workplace arrogant. In addition to doing his own job well, he also knows how to look at his boss.
For example, he felt that Shi Yan felt personally disgusted with Qin Lezhi, so he took the knife and took action immediately to prevent Qin Lezhi from reappearing.
In today's episode, he could also see that some unpleasant things might have happened between Shi Yan and Zheng Shuyi.
But he wasn't sure if it was the awkwardness between the young couple or what, and after several dealings with Zheng Shuyi, he himself liked the young girl's work attitude, so he received her politely and politely today.
It's just that it's inevitably more serious than usual, and he didn't say a word off the topic in the middle, which caused Zheng Shuyi to follow his thinking all the way, and there was no room to think about other things.
After the two or three-hour interview, Zheng Shuyi seemed to have been enveloped in such a serious atmosphere.
So when she left Mingyu Yunchuang, she couldn't see any strangeness on her face.
Even when she got to the taxi, she didn't take a short break, and immediately put on headphones to play back Qiu Fu's recording.
However, Bi Ruoshan called at this moment.
"My sister, are you disconnected?" Bi Ruoshan just got off work, in a leisurely tone, "Or our relationship has broken down. You haven't returned the message I sent you the day before yesterday."
"Huh?" Zheng Shuyi was stunned for a moment, "Oh, maybe I forgot."
"Okay, I accept your reason. Then I haven't returned the news this morning. How do you explain this? I don't have a place in your heart at all, am I?"
Zheng Shuyi looked out the car window and suddenly fell silent.
Although she did not meet, Bi Ruoshan keenly sensed Zheng Shuyi's emotional changes. She immediately accepted the silly tone and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you busy recently?"
Bi Ruoshan took the initiative to open a confession mouth, but Zheng Shuyi's emotions have been suppressed in her heart for several days, and it has settled into mud and sand, and she no longer has the desire to confide like a mountain torrent as it just happened.
Just repeating what happened, it almost made Zheng Shuyi experience the emotions of these days again.
Especially when she talked about what happened a few hours ago, she paused a few times, as if she suddenly lost her ability to organize her language. She didn't know what vocabulary to use to describe the turning point of those few minutes.
Whenever he thinks of Shi Yan's blind eyes, Zheng Shuyi feels his throat is strangled.
After listening to her quietly, Bi Ruoshan sighed.
"How could this happen... Why didn't you say it earlier, oh... I don't know what to do, I can't pretend to be empathetic to comfort you, I can only say that things are already like this, alas..."
"Yeah, things are already like this." Zheng Shuyi's voice was like sand, not like her usual voice. "How proud he is, born with a golden key, how could he meet someone like me? , He must hate me now, he hates me to death."
Bi Ruoshan really didn't know what to say, so she could only spit out some useless comforting omnipotent sentences: "Maybe things are not as bad as you think."
"You know what, he took his niece away and didn't let her stay with me. He didn't want to hear anything about me at all."
Bi Ruoshan: "Oh, don't be too sad, maybe it's easier for you to talk to him as soon as you meet him."
"Where do I have the face to meet him." Zheng Shuyi stared at the car window, fell into a deep depression, and forcibly pulled himself out. "When I think of him as the eyes that can't see me today, I just... I'm fine. Uncomfortable..."
This time even Bi Ruoshan was silent.
After hearing Zheng Shuyi say so much, she can be said to understand.
Zheng Shuyi likes Shiyan, and he is so sad.
But before Shi Yan was so decisive, Bi Ruoshan could not pierce this point.
Because she knew better, letting Zheng Shuyi know clearly that she was disliked by the person she liked, and it was pushing her deeper into the quagmire.
"It's okay, isn't it just a man? Anyway, your goals have been achieved. Think about Yue Xingzhou and that Qin. They are suffering now. I guess they can't sleep well even if they can't eat or sleep." Bi Ruoshan said. Don't think about it, you go home early and take a bath, order some crayfish, watch variety shows, and just sleep."
Zheng Shuyi gave an "um", hung up the phone, and the car was almost driving downstairs to the company.
She can't go straight home. I don't want to stay alone in a quiet room. The lonely atmosphere will amplify all emotions infinitely. She has experienced this situation many times in the past few days.
——
Although it is the weekend, many people in the company are working overtime.
Everyone is not surprised to see Zheng Shuyi coming back.
Several girls gathered to eat dessert, Zheng Shuyi calmly divided a portion, then returned to the workstation and turned on the computer.
After going online, a new email immediately appeared on the desktop.
Seeing the sender's message, Zheng Shuyi shook his mind.
This email may be the only good news in recent days.
Since last year, Zheng Shuyi has been contacting a financial scientist in the United States.
He is surrounded by three world-famous classics and is highly respected in the industry. He is also a tenured professor of H University.
Because of this, his interview invitation is as difficult as the sky.
During this half year, Zheng Shuyi sent him a total of 17 emails, each time the content was different, asking and asking.
When sending out the seventeenth email last month, Zheng Shuyi didn't even hold out hope.
Unexpectedly, when she was about to give up, she finally saw the light.
Sudden ecstasy swept through, and Zheng Shuyi was even afraid that he had read it wrong, and read the texts sent by the other party silently over and over again.
Finally, she replied to the email almost trembling.
However, after she stared at the computer screen, she was filled with emptiness again after her joy.
Zheng Shuyi has always felt that he is a person with great perseverance. From school, regardless of winter and summer, he insisted on studying in the morning, and at work, he persevered in fighting for his own opportunities.
Later, when she met Shi Yan, no matter how cold his attitude was, she also created opportunities again and again like a Xiaoqiang who could not be killed.
But now, she was weighed down by an inexplicable sense of powerlessness.
Perhaps it was the look from Shi Yan, or his act of blocking WeChat. Zheng Shuyi felt that he couldn't do any effort now.
Until the sunset glow in the sky was swallowed by the night, Zheng Shuyi finally moved his mouse and entered Shiyan's account number in the sender column of the email.
She thought about sending text messages, but like WeChat, she should have been blocked.
It took Zheng Shuyi more than an hour to write an email with dozens of words.
The moment she pressed the send button, she thought, she finally said the apology she owed him.
It should be relieved.
But I don't know why, but she feels more upset in her heart.
She sat and took a few deep breaths, then got up with the cup in her hand.
Before reaching the pantry, just around the corner, I was hit by Xu Yuling who hurried over.
Zheng Shuyi's feet were unstable, and the whole person fell to the side table.
A corner of the table brushed the back of her hand, scratching a layer of skin, Zheng Shuyi supported the table and stared at the scratches on his hand.
Xu Yuling gave her a hand, "Are you okay?"
As soon as the voice fell, Xu Yuling saw the big teardrops on Zheng Shuyi's face suddenly fell.
"Hey, no, why are you crying?!"
Xu Yuling was stunned. Faced with the gazes from her colleagues around her, she turned around in a hurry, "I just bumped you by accident, and I didn't mean it!"
Zheng Shuyi raised his hand and wiped his face, but tears fell one after another like broken beads.
"Zheng Shuyi, you, you, you..."
Suddenly Xu Yuling didn't know what to say, and was shocked by Zheng Shuyi's Oscar-like acting skills. "Are you as for? You are not acting like this!"
Then explained to a colleague: "I just touched her lightly!"
Xu Yuling's words seemed to have no effect.
Instead, Zheng Shuyi gave up wiping his tears, squatted down to cover his face, and buried his head in his knees.
She is timid, she is cowardly, she just wants to protect herself selfishly.
She was afraid of the heart-wrenching feeling that Shi Yan's eyes would bring to her.
She never wanted to experience it again.
——
At the same time, the annual EM Financial Charity Night kicked off with warm applause.
More than a thousand people in the industry from all over the world gathered together, the lights in the room were bright, and the clothes and temples were full of shadows.
Everyone was chatting and laughing while pushing the cup and changing the cup, but Shi Yan noticed a figure suddenly flashing in the corner of the light.
He fixed his gaze, and when the attention of everyone in front of him was focused on him, his gaze moved with the back of the slender woman.
She was wearing a light blue shirt, a white pencil skirt, and her long hair slanted by her shoulders, holding a goblet, and walking to the champagne tower, sipping a cocktail.
Guan Ji saw this subtle movement in his eyes. He followed Shiyan's gaze, and after confirming it, he teased: "Why, interesting? She is EM's trader Fiona, introduce you to know?"
"No need." Shi Yan slowly retracted his gaze, looked at the seating area in front, and said to Guan Ji, "I'll look for Uncle Guan."
As he walked over, he stretched out his hand and pulled on his tie, frowned, and stepped faster, as if trying to leave this place.
Regarding Zheng Shuyi, when he hadn't seen each other a few days ago, he could still maintain the surface calm and keep his emotions in his heart.
But when she suddenly appeared in front of her eyes today, the undercurrents were rolling in, almost drowning in reason.
At this moment, just seeing a woman who resembled her back, Shi Yan felt anxious.
Throughout the charity night after that, Shi Yan felt like a thorn hanging in his heart, trying to pull it out, but couldn't find a place to start.
——
At midnight, Bocuiyun Bay.
The night sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is lit up like a bean, along the Jiangcheng Bridge, embossed into a continuous chain of beads.
Shi Yan had a few empty wine bottles beside him, and his body was full of heavy alcohol that the cold wind could not dissipate, but his face was still as calm as ever.
The two chandeliers above the head swayed gently under the blowing of the wind, and they all projected into the wine glass.
If you don't pay attention, you can easily see it as a pair of smiling eyes.
Perhaps it was alcohol, and the scene in front of Shi Yan was a little fuzzy.
He took out his cell phone and released Zheng Shuyi from the blacklist.
The original chat records are still there.
He turned up one by one, not many chat records, he watched it for more than an hour.
He seems to be looking for something.
After he turned over all the information in the message box, he finally had a clear understanding in his alcoholic mind.
He was looking for whether Zheng Shuyi had any signs of sincerity.
Even if it's just a trace.
When he was drunk and urged, he also thought that as long as there are some clues, he can even pretend that he doesn't know anything.
But the screen full of sweet words, looked like a joke at the moment.
Shi Yan put down his phone, but raised his hand and waved down the innocent wine bottle on the table.
In the life of taking every step meticulously as an adult, Shiyan rarely makes these small gestures of venting.
But now, it seems that there is no other way to solve it except for unprovoked emotional venting.
The glass dross was splashing everywhere, and the crisp sound echoed in the empty house.
Zheng Shuyi lay quietly on Shi Yan's blacklist again.
When I looked up again, the golden sunrise had already decorated the Jiangcheng Bridge with brilliance.
There was an alert tone for important mails from abroad, and Shi Yan glanced at it and his eyes flickered slightly.
In the inbox, there is a letter from Zheng Shuyi.
There is no basic mail etiquette, no heading up title, just a short text:
I am sorry.
I have nothing to excuse, nor dare to ask for your forgiveness.
I hope you will never meet someone like me again in your future life.
May you be healthy and successful.
The emotional container that was already calm was smashed by this email again.
Shi Yan read these short lines several times, and suddenly laughed at himself.
Those so-called cuteness are all her performances to achieve her goal.
As a financial reporter, this is her true tone.
Sweet talk is a routine, and true love is clumsy that can't be hidden.
Shi Yan thought, if he had recognized this earlier, he wouldn't let himself fall to this point.
But even so, Shi Yan still thought of her pitifully weeping while pulling his sleeves.
Although reason told Shi Yan, she couldn't shed tears.
But alcohol can always play a paralyzing effect on this.
Shi Yan also released Zheng Shuyi from the blacklist and edited a line:
So have you ever been a little sincere?
After staring at Zheng Shuyi's portrait for a long time, Shi Yan sighed and pressed the send button.
The next second, a message pops up on the interface.
"You are not his (her) friend yet, please send a friend verification request."
Shiyan's 27 years of life.
For the first time, in no one's place, he burst into foul language.
