In the private room, the four of us were eating and drinking. Ding Ge and I sat face to face. The two of us separated Lin Ya and Guzheng from each other, but this made Lin Ya and Guzheng sit diagonally opposite each other, making eye contact very easy.
Lin Ya didn't seem in the mood to make up with Guzheng. Maybe she was just thinking about getting drunk and not thinking about the photo shop.
And Guzheng did not reconcile with Guzheng at all. She just sat there quietly, talking to me and Ding Ge, not to Lin Ya.
I drank the wine in my glass and the bitterness on the tip of my tongue was fleeting, but now I especially hope that the bitterness will come stronger.
I looked at ding Green and Guzheng, and I couldn't help but remember the past. I remember that we had sat together before. Lin Ya and Guzheng, Ding Ge and Guzheng, Ding Ge and Guzheng, and also Ding Ge and juan. It was always calm before, because there were many people together, and there was no conflict between them before.
But from the first time they met, I could feel that they could not get along, as if they were born to be unable to get along. The two of them were like two tigers on a mountain. Although this metaphor was not appropriate, that was what it meant.
Before that, they were able to live in peace without invading each other. But as time went on, the conflict between them deepened. Although there was no conflict at all, they just couldn't get along with each other more and more.
I scratched my head and felt that the meal in front of me was a little weird. I didn't know what to say to adjust the atmosphere, because I didn't know how to adjust it.
I was on tenterhooks throughout the meal, but nothing happened.
At this moment, Lin Ya stood up and said, "Go to the bathroom."
Ding Ge also stood up and said, "I'll go too."
The two of them walked out the door one after another. It was too normal for them to be friends. I didn't think much about it.
After the two of them left, only Guzheng and I were left in the room.
I smiled, still not knowing what to say.
Sandwiched between Lin Ya and Guzheng, it was indescribably awkward.
But I know that Lin Ya won't apologize to Guzheng, and Guzheng won't apologize to lin ya. After all, she didn't do anything wrong. She just wanted to help me, but Lin Ya misunderstood her.
At this moment, Guzheng looked at me with a slight smile on her lips. When she saw Lin Ya, she didn't seem very angry. She said to me, "Why do you look so scared?"
"How could it be?"
I chuckled.
"Are you still afraid of the three of us?" With me alone, Guzheng's mood was obviously higher and more at ease.
I shook my head again.
Then Guzheng said directly, "Are you afraid that Lin Ya and I will fight?"
I was stunned by the central issue and didn't know how to answer it. Indeed, this was my worry. I can't help but worry. Both of them have strong personalities, not as gentle as Ding Ge.
"Don't worry, I told you, as long as she doesn't mess with me, I won't mess with her." Guzheng gave me a reassuring look.
But can I rest assured?
"I heard you went on a picnic yesterday?" Guzheng asked.
I think Old Gao, who is going to pick us up, knows about this. I didn't have time to tell anyone else. Guzheng knows. Needless to say, Ding Ge must have told her.
I didn't expect the two of them to talk about business and daily life.
I nodded.
Guzheng continued, "How is it?"
"Not bad." I pointed to Guzheng and said, "You should come once you have the chance. It was refreshing and fun. And it's especially relaxing. Outside, you don't have to think about the city's chores at all. Embrace nature and feel the beauty of life. You really have to do it once! Just remember not to break the car next time."
Guzheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, you're right. But will you accompany me?"
I looked into Guzheng's eyes. At this moment, I felt sorry for her. I smiled at her and said, "Okay, as long as you have time, you can do it anytime."
"You are so soft-hearted!" Guzheng suddenly said with a leap.
I didn't understand and asked, "What? What do you mean?"
"I mean, it's always easy for you to agree to other people's requests, isn't it?" Guzheng said.
I fell into deep thought and replied after a while, "Maybe I did. I used to be a bad person and did a lot of bad things. I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but I believe in karma. Look, karma is on me now."
"Don't say that. I think you're fine, better than a lot of people." Guzheng said.
I smiled and said, "Yes, it's much better now than before. I'm talking about the past. You didn't know me before. I was crazy, and I hurt a lot of people. Then I came to my senses and changed. I was always unwilling to use malice to guess others. When I could help others more, I would help them. I wanted to make up for my past mistakes."
After saying so much, I suddenly became emotional. I smiled bitterly and finished the wine in my glass.
Although I can do a lot of good things now, for those evil people, my heart is more ruthless and colder than before!
Sometimes if you want to protect the person you care about, you can't just be kind. You have to be cruel when you should be!
Guzheng smiled and said, "You're so good now. How many bad things did you say you had to do before to make up for it?"
"A lot, a lot."
I suddenly remembered a lot. In fact, I can become what I am today and have experienced a lot. I have to thank some people in my life!
Guzheng said that I would kindly agree to other people's request and be willing to help others. But she didn't know that I had a lot of promises that I didn't make. The more I thought about those regrets, the more I wanted to do what I promised.
Guzheng let out a breath and said, "Okay, don't feel guilty. You're fine now."
I could only smile. Guzheng was right. I couldn't change the past. I could only make myself better in the future.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered another thing, so I asked Guzheng, "Guzheng, what exactly are you and Ding Ge working together?"
"It's just normal business cooperation. What's wrong?" Guzheng asked doubtfully.
I signaled her to say more.
Guzheng said, "Xing Yun, although we... But business matters are still very sensitive..."
I nodded and understood what Guzheng meant.
But I still asked the question in my heart, and I asked, "Are you helping ding ge?"
"Ah?" Guzheng exclaimed.
She didn't seem to understand what I meant and asked, "How can I help her?"
"I don't know. Didn't you help her?" What did Lin Ya mean by that?
"No." Guzheng shook his head and said, "The cooperation between the two companies is a win-win thing. It can't be said who will help who."
After that, Guzheng added, "It's not my decision to represent Ding Ge's company, so it's really just a special coincidence. It's just that you know me and Ding Ge, and between us... Right?"
I nodded. Indeed, Guzheng was right, and I have no doubt about what she said.
But I still don't understand what Lin Ya meant by that.
I took another deep look at Guzheng, and Guzheng looked at me generously, her eyes shining brightly. I was a little embarrassed and asked, "Did you help her somewhere else?"
Guzheng frowned and thought for a while, "Shall I take her home?"
I was stunned again. This, does it count?
I don't know either.
It seems that I have nothing to ask from Guzheng.
But I always have a bad feeling that something is happening, but I don't know.
I smiled, poured myself a glass of wine, raised it up and said to Guzheng, "Then I wish you a smooth cooperation and a win-win situation in advance!"
"Of course!" Guzheng lifted the black tea in his hand and we touched it.
I looked at Guzheng, and her face was very determined. I couldn't help but think that a few months ago, Guzheng was just a rich girl who was very resistant to the company, and now she seemed to be able to plan and win a thousand miles. The confidence in her eyes was beyond many people.
The changes in her body were really great!
At this moment, Ding Ge and Lin Ya also came in.
Ding Ge said to us, "What are you guys talking about?"
"Nothing." Guzheng replied faintly.
"Talk about our picnic." I said.
"Oh." Ding Ge also said to Guzheng, "If you have a chance, you have to do it again. It's a great experience!"
"Yes."
At this moment, Ding Ge looked at me again and said to me, "Xing Yun, give me the wine. I haven't toasted Guzheng yet."
Guzheng said shyly, "What kind of wine would you like to serve me?"
"Yes, yes."
I handed the wine to Ding Ge, and Ding Ge poured himself a glass, then lifted it up and looked at Guzheng. Guzheng said even more embarrassingly, "I didn't even drink alcohol, you..."
"Just drink your black tea." Ding Ge said to Guzheng, "A toast to you. I hope we can work together happily this time."
"Yes, I will." Lin Ya and Ding Ge touched.
At this moment, Ding Ge suddenly said, "Let's touch together."
As soon as I heard it, I quickly raised my glass and said, "Indeed, this is a big event. Let's celebrate together."
However, I suddenly regretted saying this. I almost forgot about Lin Ya and Guzheng. Would lin ya raise her glass?
However, I was thinking too much, and Lin Ya still raised her glass. Her expression was a little conflicted, but she still said, "I wish you a happy cooperation!"
To my surprise, Lin Ya actually looked at Guzheng to say this, which surprised me, and I could feel Lin Ya's intention to apologize to Guzheng. Based on her character, she would definitely not say sorry. I was in a rush of emotions. Is Lin Ya apologizing to Guzheng?
What's going on?
