Meeting is doomed, falling in love is doomed

Chapter 60

If she could find a way to make Uncle Tang not worry about her, she really wanted to live alone like this.

When Xue Jinfeng was around, Xu Tong had little interaction with his colleagues after being surrounded by him.Once Xue Jinfeng left, she had a lot of time to blend in with the crowd.

After get off work, I made an appointment with my colleagues to have a Japanese cuisine dinner. During the dinner, I waited for everyone to drink a few glasses of wine, and the atmosphere was heated up by the alcohol. .

Someone suddenly mentioned Xu Tong, "Xiao Xu, to be honest, you used to be with our prince all the time, and I thought you were just a standard vase - only good looks, no quality; but when the prince left, Only then did I have a chance to find out, tsk tsk, it turns out that you are really a diamond who can do porcelain work! Not only does it look good, but it also has quality! Come! I respect you for this glass of wine, as an apology for the prejudice in the past, and today I take advantage of This is an opportunity to confess to you...to you..." The man became a little hesitant at the end of his speech, with a bit of shyness in his words, and with the strength of alcohol, no one could be sure how much of what he said was true Points are false.

Xu Tong got up quickly, "You are my senior, I should respect you!" Instead of responding to the ambiguous confession, he used "senior" to block the other party's next truth and falsehood. Strictly.

In addition, someone saw the embarrassing look on the face of the "senior" who wanted to eat delicious food but couldn't eat it, and immediately offered gossip to mediate his depression, "By the way, let me tell you something, don't look down on me, but I There is a cousin who is awesome in our company’s executive management, no one of you knows about this? Haha~ Hey! Don’t think I’m bragging, ×× is really my cousin! What I said is true Don't believe me!" Looking at everyone's questioning eyes, the alcohol got on his mind, and he even said the names of people directly.

Xu Tong secretly sighed, in such a company with complicated personnel, I don't know how this colleague will regret that he has talked too much after he sobers up.

At this time, he was completely emotional, "Do you know that, in fact, Mr. Xue was transferred abroad, and there is another inside story!"

He successfully whetted everyone's appetite with one sentence, "What's the inside story? Don't brag about not being successful and playing tricks, isn't it just that the old man can't get used to Mr. Xue being pampered and pampered in China, so you want to transfer him to go abroad to practice?"

The man immediately said: "It's not that simple! In fact, the old man was persuaded recently to cooperate with another company to develop a new project. The project base is set up in that foreign country on the other side of the ocean. The partner suggested to the old man: , This project is costly and there is no room for any mistakes. It is best for all operations to be supervised by your own people. He suggested that it would be most suitable for us Mr. Xue to go over and watch. The old man was persuaded by him, so no matter Mr. Xue left Why are you unwilling, and you can't say no to throwing him abroad!"

Everyone else was engrossed in listening to it, but Xu Tong was not interested.She nestled in the crowd, silently pouring herself a drink.

I can't say why, but recently she always has such a feeling that she can't get excited about anything, she can't laugh, she can't talk, she can't be happy, she can't be angry, no matter who is around her, she just wants to immerse herself in her own world Here, sit quietly and want to be quietly indifferent.

A girl next to her questioned the speaker, "There is nothing wrong with this, it is reasonable, and it is indeed more reliable for my close relatives to look after the family business. I don't think there is any element of gossip in this!"

The "cousin" immediately had an expression of "I'm waiting for your words", and said in a mysterious way: "You can't look at the surface of things, you have to look at the essence! Please listen to me first! Let's talk about it." After Mr. Xue arrived in Bibang, the old man and the partner also went to inspect it soon—oh, my cousin also went, otherwise how could I know so clearly? Naturally, my cousin told me Don’t act like you don’t believe me, what I’m saying is true, okay? By the way, let me tell you, we are a department, and these words are just passed on in private. Don’t say it, or my cousin will kill you! me!"

Xu Tong finally laughed when he heard this.

What a superfluous order, he couldn't even keep a secret for himself, after he said it, who would really cover his mouth for him?
But everyone can't do it, but everyone knows hypocrisy. They all replied: "Of course! It must be sure! Hurry up and talk about it, don't keep interrupting everyone's appetite!"

"Cousin" continued to talk eloquently: "It was during the inspection of the old man and the project partner abroad, I heard that Mr. Xue was very unfriendly to the partner at the beginning, almost like an enemy; why is this? It seems to be We Mr. Xue used to chase the partner's woman, and the partner asked the old man to transfer the prince abroad, probably to retaliate against him; it is said that the relationship between the two of them was very stiff at first, but one day the partner gave us Xue The boss introduced a foreign girl friend, wow, his friend is said to be a top-notch beauty, and he immediately fascinated us, President Xue, and never quarreled with his partners. From then on, he was accompanied by beautiful women, I don’t want to miss Sichuan, I like the new and hate the old!"

When everyone heard the last sentence, the atmosphere suddenly turned from enthusiasm to embarrassment.Everyone looked at Xu Tong in unison.

Xu Tong was filling a glass of wine and was about to bring it to his mouth when he found that everyone was looking at him.The wine glass stopped in mid-air, she looked back at the crowd, and after a moment of stupor, the arm holding the wine drew a full arc in front of her, and she smiled and said to everyone in the banquet: "Hurry up, everyone, grab the wine and let's get together!" Congratulations for finally getting rid of Mr. Xue who likes the new and dislikes the old, and I can start a new life from now on!"

Everyone responded one after another, and the awkward atmosphere was resolved by Xu Tong's understatement.

Putting down his wine glass, Xu Tong heard the girl next to him asking again: "By the way, cousin, you haven't said anything yet. Who is this mysterious partner?"

"Cousin" shook his head, "Didn't I just say who the partner is? It's strange, I thought I said it at the beginning! The old man's partner is the Gu family who is the most popular in the whole financial street now." Mr. Gu, Gu Chen!"

Xu Tong's hand, which was pouring wine, trembled inexplicably when he heard the sound.The wine splashed from the jug onto the table, she was about to stand up and dodge, but when she heard the girl beside her speak, she stood there in a daze, unable to move.

"Gu Chen? Speaking of him, I remembered something I just heard! It seems that a while ago, Gu Chen proposed to break off the engagement with her fiancée!"

The wine had already flowed down the table to Xu Tong's lap.But she seemed unconscious, sitting there motionless, quietly listening to the words of the girl beside her.

"...I heard this from my girlfriend. She also heard it from one girlfriend after another. Anyway, everyone listened to one, and the other to the other. I don't know. Is this true or not? But I don’t think there’s any reason for it! How can there be waves when there’s no wind? Tsk tsk! These rich people really treat their marriage like a joke. How long have they been engaged? The engagement is about to be dissolved..."

All gossip is like having wings, it is passed on from ten to ten, and everyone knows it almost overnight.The news of Gu Chen's dissolution of the engagement has been widely circulated since that night.However, the extent is only limited to hearsay and word of mouth. Whether it is true or not, no one can tell for sure.

Suppressing the almost uncontrollable inexplicable throbbing in her heart when she first heard about it, Xu Tong warned herself that this matter has nothing to do with her, don't listen, don't ask, don't think about it.

She wished that her ears could be quiet, and she would not hear the word Gu Chen again.

However, things backfired, and Zhang Zhentong didn't make her wish.

One morning, Xu Tong rushed to work and was concentrating on walking when a figure suddenly flashed in front of him.

Zhang Zhentong stood in front of her fiercely, looked at her, his face was burning with rage, "Xu Tong, I have something to tell you!"

Xu Tong ignored her, walked over and walked straight forward.

Just because she wants to speak doesn't mean she has to listen.

Zhang Zhentong was furious and rushed over to block Xu Tong again, "Can't you hear me! I said I have something to tell you! How can you be so rude?"

Xu Tong laughed, "Zhang Zhentong, are you crazy? Running wild in front of others early in the morning, do you want to lose face and face? Don't forget, you are Shuyuan, a famous family in City A, and you should take care of your own image. There are people coming and going on the street, so it's not suitable for you to be silly!" After speaking, he walked away, completely ignoring the other party's face that was already distorted with anger.

Zhang Zhentong grabbed Xu Tong's arm, "Stop!"

Xu Tong couldn't help raising his eyebrows to look at her, and said lightly, "Let go of your hands."

Zhang Zhentong was about to burst into tears, "After I finish what I want to say, I will naturally let go of my hand! Xu Tong, listen carefully, don't always think that I am easy to bully, just target me, suppress me, hit me, and torture me Find happiness for yourself! I can forget all the things in the past and don’t care about you, but this one, if you still refuse to listen to my warning, don’t say that I will never tolerate you again! Listen to me, don’t do it The third party who destroyed my relationship with Gu Chen!!!"

Xu Tong laughed.When the laughter stopped, her face turned cold, her arms shook vigorously, and she broke away from Zhang Zhentong's restraint, "Crazy! If you said those words to you, it would be more reasonable if I said them to you. How can you say them from your mouth?" Come out, let people feel that this world is really absurd!" She looked at Zhang Zhentong and sneered disdainfully, "Zhang Zhentong, talk to me in the future, don't use this kind of warning and threat of 'listen to me', It's not your turn to tell me! As for being a third party who destroys other people's feelings, I always thought that was what you two love to do most!"

Ignoring Zhang Zhentong's crimson distorted expression as if he wanted to kill someone, Xu Tong suddenly smiled, "Also, whether your man wants you or not is his business, and whether you can keep him is your business, regardless of you What happened to the two, but that's none of my business, please be more sensible, don't always attribute your mistakes to others, but you are always as innocent as a white lotus flower, it's inexplicable!"

After Xu Tong finished speaking, he would not give Zhang Zhentong any chance to hinder him, and immediately walked forward without looking back.

Zhang Zhentong stood at the back, looking at Xu Tong's back, completely drowned in anger, no longer caring about whether it would be embarrassing to do so in the street with people coming and going at the moment, he just pulled his neck hysterically with all his strength Hoarsely roaring: "Xu Tong, you are too deceitful! I will never let you go!"

Zhang Zhentong's little episode was quickly left behind by Xu Tong.Life is too short to waste energy and emotion on irrelevant people.

A few days passed, and the days passed peacefully, without the slightest ripple.Xu Tong walked on the way to work and home every day, his mind seemed very empty at one moment, so empty that he didn't bother to think about anything, at another moment it seemed very full, so full that thousands of thoughts flew by before his eyes, and then It's fast and messy, people can't catch anything, and it makes people upset for no reason.

After work that day, she received a call from an unknown number.After hesitating to connect, the call turned out to be from an old classmate Yao Qian whom I hadn't seen for a long time.That was her classmate after she transferred to Pugao back then. Although it was not a deep friendship, the other party had a kindness for her back then.

Focusing on this, Xu Tong's voice on the phone was warm and thoughtful, "Yao Qian! Long time no see, where did you get rich? By the way, how do you know my phone number?"

Yao Qian smiled crisply on the other side, "I work in a county that belongs to the city, and my parents moved the whole house here with me, so that it will be convenient for my dad to get dialysis treatment. Today I happened to go to the city to do some errands, and I have always wanted to Yours, I asked your family for your number. Xu Tong, do you want to come out and sit with me for a while after get off work?"
