The office building after work has its own tranquility at night. The orderly placed mugs in the tea room gently tell us the noise of the day on weekdays. What echoes with it is the orange light of the president's office. It's not that I forget to turn off the light, but that I don't want to go home. At the end of the day, Gu Sirui hangs up his grandmother's phone, sits at his desk, looks at the disordered documents and shakes his head.
There are so many things happened recently that it is hard to avoid that the company can't do what it wants. However, Gu Sirui is unprepared by the imperceptible strength of competitors. According to the report of the document, the sales of competitive companies have been rising recently, which poses a serious threat to Gu. For Gu's future, Gu Sirui thinks that he really needs to make some remedial measures wholeheartedly.
There's a knock at the door.
"Please come in"
"president, are you not off duty yet?"
It's the secretary. The girl asked sweetly with a warm smile on her face.
"I have something else to deal with. You should leave work early."
"Well, the tea room made you a cup of coffee. If there's nothing I can do for you, I'll go first."
"Well, thank you. You can go."
The Secretary closes the door, and the office is extremely quiet. Gu Sirui looks over the information and is upset. Does grandma have anything important to tell him? Whatever, as long as it's not Shu Xiaoxiao's business, but if you think about it carefully, you really haven't looked back home for a long time. Gu Sirui packed up the papers, got up and went home. The orange light disappeared in the silence.
At eight o'clock in the night, the city is still very noisy. Gu Sirui is blocked at the intersection of the main road. When the light is green, he finds that he has not had dinner. He is really hungry, as if he has a heart in him. Grandma's message comes, "are you hungry? Gu Sirui looks around the busy business district. If it's blocked, he doesn't know when it's going to be, so he's going to stop the car and find a convenience store to buy something to cushion his stomach.
He went back to his grandmother and said, "OK, it's a bit of a traffic jam." he was ready to turn around and find a place to park.
Gu Sirui parked his car in the underground parking lot of a shopping mall. There are several dessert shops on the first floor. One of them seems to be doing an anniversary celebration and launching a lot of new products. Gu Sirui bought black tea and sandwiches and took them away to eat in the car. Remembering that grandma seems to like to eat snowflake crisp, he hesitated and packed one for grandma.
It's almost nine o'clock when he arrived at Gu's home. Gu Sirui parked his car and looked up at his unique villa. The light in the house was warm. He felt familiar but alienated. The reason why he was familiar was that he grew up there and had so many good memories, while the reason why he was alienated was that his brother and Shu Xiaoxiao had bad memories every time he came here recently.
Gu Sirui pushed open the carved iron gate, and the fragrance of roses and lilies filled the small garden. Grandma always liked to plant flowers. When she was a child, she went out from the flowers and went home. Su Su Su came to his home through the flowers.
Gu Sirui stood there, thinking of Su Su and everything now, and suddenly didn't want to go in. But he looked up at the huge house. Except for the servants, there was no lively atmosphere, gorgeous appearance, and the inside was cold and clear. It seems that he really hasn't been with grandma for a long time. He hesitated for a moment and was ready to go in.
Gu Sirui knocks on the door. When the housekeeper sees that it's the second young master, he shouts happily: "the second young master is back."
The servant came to meet him.
"Where's grandma?"
Gu Sirui gives his coat to the servant and sits on the sofa.
"Madam, the second young master hasn't come back yet. I'm afraid that the cake will be cold. I'll go to the kitchen by myself."
Gu Sirui took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "how did she go by herself?"
"Yes."
The servant hung his clothes and said, "the second young master hasn't come back for a long time. My wife is very happy." After that, he took out the fruit tray and said with a smile, "second young master, let's have some fruit first. I'll go to inform my wife right now."
Gu Sirui looks around while eating strawberries. The house is still spotless. The black marble reflects the light of the chandelier. There are tea sets, fruits and flowers on the glass ebony tea table. "It should be the flowers in the garden." Gu Sirui thinks so. He attaches himself to smell it. There is a photo album on the tea table. Gu Sirui is curious and takes it to open it.
It's a childhood album.
Gu Sirui and his childhood. Gu Sirui flipped one by one, feeling that memories overflowed the whole heart.
"This is a picture of a group of boys on the playground in middle school"
in midsummer, the grass is lush and sunny, the boys are sweating, but they are not very happy. Gu Sirui didn't want to see the camera and was crying, while Gu Sinian was smiling.
"What, such a false smile."
Gu Sirui laughs and mutters.
This is a district football match in junior high school. I remember it was a must win match at that time, but it's a pity that Gu Sirui only came second by one point, so he was unwilling to take a group photo after the game. Gu Sinian should be more unhappy than him, because he paid more than Gu Sirui before and trained on the football field after class, but he still smiles politely in the photo."When I was a child, I looked worldly."
Gu Sirui smiles, but then he thinks that Gu Sinian, who is so mature and steady, is still lying in the hospital. He doesn't know when to wake up. Suddenly, there is a kind of sadness in his heart, so he takes a deep breath and closes the photo album.
All of a sudden, a picture fell out from the bottom page, and Gu Sirui picked it up.
Gu Ling, the girl in school uniform, laughs, spits out her tongue, holds a letter in her hand, and grabs her ponytail to make a funny face.
The mouth of chewing fruit suddenly stopped.
Su Su and herself in high school were so simple and beautiful.
I remember it was Christmas. Susu ate an apple and said with a smile, "it's so vulgar to give chocolate. You can give play to your talent as a poet and give me a poem." While make complaints about "good soil", Gu Shi Rui wrote down this sentence, and wrote a poem which was deep but strong and funny. Su Su can't close her mouth with a smile after reading it, while Gu Sirui is embarrassed and gets up to grab the letter. The two of them are playing with no scruples.
This photo has been left in the desk of her room. After Su Su left, she put it in the drawer and never took it out again. I don't know who took it out. Gu Sirui rubbed the photos and felt that everything in his youth was so beautiful. Now, people are still those people, but those beautiful things are really far away.
"Here comes Siri."
Grandma's voice wakes him up from memory. Gu Sirui puts the album back on the coffee table and looks up at grandma. She is carrying a plate of exquisite cakes, which is her favorite Qifeng cake.
"Just let the servants do these things."
