At the beginning of September, last month's "Hundred Flowers Movie" release statistics came out, 12.68 million copies, a full one-third increase in sales compared to the previous issue! It is said that it set a new record for the highest sales volume of the same type of fashion magazine in the world.
The whole society rejoices!
Secretary Gao also swept away the decadence caused by Lin Shuangyue's incident, cheered up, and made plans to hold a celebration banquet.
The banquet was scheduled to be held at night in the staff canteen of the company. The canteen closed early that day, and sent people to decorate it, hung some banners, garlands, balloons, etc., and removed the big round table in the canteen For the most part, it's laid out loosely.
The celebration banquet cannot avoid drinking, so Yan Ruxu asked Yan Liangshen to come over and pick Kangkang away.
Ever since Yan Liangshen took Kangk away that time, Kangkang has longed for the outside world a lot. At my grandpa’s house, everyone pampered and let him, there are a lot of delicious food, unlimited food, and my aunt, who is also a child, playing with me, my life is not too happy, although I still miss my mother a little bit, But still bearable for one night.
In fact, Yan Ruxu has always known that children should not be confined to a small world, and children should be exposed to new environments and people. Although Wang Zhaodi has her own little thoughts, she is also good to Kangkang. She knows the crux of Wang Zhaodi's problem, and brings some small gifts for her or Yan Ruyu every time she comes to the door, which makes Wang Zhaodi very happy.
Every time Kangkang came back from his grandpa’s house, he was very excited. He kept talking to her, talking about this and that, what he ate, what he played, without any logic. He said whatever he thought of, nothing happened Big and small, very happy.
Later, Kangkang went to his grandfather's house more and more often.
This time the celebration party of Hundred Flowers Film Magazine also invited the leaders of the agency to participate. Secretary Gao personally invited him. He originally invited Xu Huanqing, the director of the company, as a polite invitation, but unexpectedly, he agreed. Now he came to the celebration banquet on time, and Secretary Gao was so excited, he was busy, arranging the president to give a speech, and arranging seats for the president himself, taking away the job of the president's secretary.
After the president Xu Huanqing delivered a speech and accepted another round of toasts from the same table, Yan Ruxu walked over with a wine glass.
Xu Huanqing sat at the table closest to the rostrum. Only a few leaders from the agency and the magazine were arranged on the table. At the moment, they were all receiving a toast.
"President", Yan Ruxu smiled.
"Drink less, I see you have had several drinks." Xu Huanqing said.
"The toast, you have to drink it."
"Kangkang was picked up by your father?"
Yan Ruxu nodded, "After you talked to me that time, I thought about it for a long time. The attitude towards my father was really wrong. During this time, our relationship has improved a lot."
Xu Huanqing smiled: "That's right, the relationship between father and daughter is constantly parting. Look how good it is now. Your father is happy, Kangkang is happy, and you are also happy. Everyone is happy."
Xu Huanqing talked about business again: "This time your planning is really good and very creative, and it hits the common people's interest. The sales of Hundred Flowers Movie this time shocked the entire book and newspaper industry. When you go out to a meeting, all you listen to is your magazine, uncle is very proud of you!"
"Thank you, Uncle." Yan Ruxu was not modest, and said, "It is expected that the sales volume will go up to a higher level next month."
Xu Huanqing laughed loudly, and clinked glasses with Yan Ruxu, "Just because of your self-confidence, let's make it clear!"
"Please wait and see." Yan Ruxu smiled, drank the white wine in the wine cup, and said, "Just take a sip."
Xu Huanqing shook his head and said, "I'm happy today!" As he spoke, he also drank it down.
Someone looked at the opportunity and came up to talk to President Xu.
Yan Ruxu greeted Xu Huanqing and left to return to his seat.
Secretary Gao hurried over and asked, "What have you been chatting with President Xu for so long? I think the president treats you very well and is always smiling."
"He encouraged me and said that our plan this time is very good."
Secretary Gao had an honorable smile on his face, and said, "That's right, show us the president of the magazine! Our progress will be secured by the end of the year, and you are a great contributor. Come, touch one!"
Secretary Gao took a bottle of white wine and poured a glass into Yan Ruxu's glass.
The wine poured by the leader must be drunk. After Yan Ruxu drank the glass, her stomach became hot and her head felt a little dizzy. She can drink well, but she will be drunk after a few more drinks.
Yan Ruxu took a bite of the food in a hurry, and looked up, he was the only one left at this table, and the others either went to toast the leader's wine, or went to drink with colleagues.
At this time, Wang Wenqiang, the editor-in-chief of another editorial team, came back with an empty wine glass. This is a man of thirty-six or seventeen years old, of medium height and ordinary appearance, his face is flushed now, his eyes are not clear, and he speaks with a bit of a tongue.
Seeing Yan Ruxu on the seat, he smiled, poured a glass of wine into his own glass, and approached Yan Ruxu.
"Deputy editor-in-chief Yan, it's amazing, I admire you, you young people are really different, you have brains and creativity, it's like the wave behind the Yangtze River pushes the wave ahead, and those of us who are older can't catch up, come, come, I respect you."
Seeing that he was a little drunk, Yan Ruxu didn't want to get entangled with him, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it, and showed the bottom of the glass to Wang Wenqiang, "You're too much, I have to learn more from you."
Unexpectedly, Wang Wenqiang poured himself another glass and raised the glass to Yan Ruxu, "Come on, deputy editor-in-chief Yan, I'll toast you again. You can't be conservative in the future. Let's communicate more and teach us. You can't eat alone." , We have to get rich together!"
Yan Ruxu smiled, sat down, and said, "Editor Wang seems to have drunk too much, let's drink some tea and wake up."
Wang Wenqiang poured a glass of wine into his mouth, and poured another glass:
"Who said I drank too much? I didn't drink too much. I only drank so much. Deputy editor Yan, are you disrespectful? The club gave you a celebration banquet and you shook, didn't you?"
Wang Wenqiang's eyes became more and more blurred, and his expression also appeared a little ferocious.
Is this telling the truth after drinking, or pretending to be crazy by drinking?
No matter what the situation is, Yan Ruxu doesn't want to get entangled with him.
Yan Ruxu didn't have much contact with Wang Wenqiang before, just a normal colleague relationship. Weekly routine meetings, and when there is a conflict in the content of the selected topic, the two parties will have some disputes, discussions, and compromises. Apart from this, there is no private communication.
Yan Ruxu stood up and walked to the side, but his arm was grabbed by a wet hand. Yan Ruxu suddenly felt as if he was wrapped in a snake, and his whole body was cold. He quickly waved his arm away and turned his head: " Editor-in-Chief Wang, show some respect!"
Wang Wenqiang raised his head and drank the glass of wine in his hand, and laughed a few times: "Deputy editor Yan is pretending to be a chaste and strong woman, and I can't even catch her, so how did your child come here? That Japanese girl holding a rose What's the matter with people?"
Chen Yang at a table in the corner was also drinking. This table was full of young people who had just joined the company, talking and laughing lively, talking about the upcoming Asian Games in 1990, talking about the new movie released, talking about Jin Yong Gulong Liang Yusheng.
Chen Yang is undoubtedly the focus of this group of people. From time to time, young men and women at the same table stand up to clink glasses with him. He has a smile on his face, but his heart is extremely lonely. He drank a lot of wine, and the more he drank, the more restless he became. , his eyes unconsciously searched for Yan Ruxu's figure in the room, watching Yan Ruxu being toasted, talking cordially with the leaders and even the president, his face is so beautiful, his figure is so slim, and every frown and smile is so touching. The fire in his heart was getting hotter and hotter, and it was about to burst out soon.
But what can he do? He could only suppress it desperately. He thought of the paradoxical words Jiang Yun said to him when he went out with Jiang Yun last time: feelings must be two-way, one-way and don't know how to restrain it, it can only be harassment. If you don't restrain yourself, it will not only be of no benefit to yourself, but will also implicate others. The person who is secretly in love is so innocent and guilty.
Chen Yang's feelings at that time were indescribable. He never expected that his most secret thoughts would be discovered by someone, and he felt ashamed. He had to admit that what Jiang Yun said was right. It was impossible for him to be like Yan Yan, and this hopeless secret love had to end. However, reason is reason, but he couldn't help thinking about her in his heart and body. Looking at her, wanting to get closer to her.
His emotion urges him to keep looking for Yan Ruxu, he always seems to be able to see her in the crowd at a glance.
So, Chen Yang found that Yan Ruxu's expression was not quite right, and Wang Wenqiang, who was facing him, was shaking, obviously something was wrong, he immediately stood up, walked towards Yan Ruxu, and heard Arrived at Wang Wenqiang's words.
Chen Yang's head was buzzing, and his blood was rushing up, his mood was as if the handful of white snow he held in his hand to appreciate had been sprinkled with a pinch of dust and stained.
He saw that Wang Wenqiang was about to reach out to pull Yan Ruxu again, but Yan Ruxu was like a little lamb, not speaking, just dodging blindly, he couldn't stand it anymore, clenched his fist, and threw it at Wang Wenqiang's face, " You bastard!"
Wang Wenqiang was caught off guard and was hit all of a sudden. He staggered back two steps, sat down on the chair, covered his face with his hands, and stared straight ahead with wide eyes, as if he didn't realize what happened.
Yan Ruxu was also stunned, completely unaware that Chen Yang would get in the way. What Wang Wenqiang said just now, she was naturally angry, but so what if she was angry, did she scold a drunk, so what if she won the scolding, did it attract the crowds and discussions of the entire publishing house? So the best way is to avoid Wang Wenqiang and go to Secretary Gao or the president.
But who would have thought that Chen Yang would appear and beat Wang Wenqiang.
Yan Ruxu quickly looked around, there was a lot of noise around, chatting and drinking in twos and threes, but the voices here did not attract the attention of others, Yan Ruxu quickly gave Chen Yang a hand: "You are crazy!"
Chen Yang's eyes were red: "He said that about you, so you just listen?"
Yan Ruxu took a deep breath, "You don't need to fight for me, now, go back to your table immediately!"
Chen Yang looked at Yan Ruxu in disbelief, tears streaming down his face, "You... you actually said that about me!"
Wang Wenqiang over there reacted, glared at Chen Yang angrily, and stood up while holding his hands. Yan Ruxu hurried over and said coldly, "Are you sober now? If you don't want to attract the president and secretary Gao to come over and ask why you were beaten, you can beat me back!"
Wang Wenqiang sat back on the chair again, sobered up, rubbed his face, Chen Yang didn't beat him hard, but it made him feel insulted, but he also knew that it attracted Secretary Gao and the president, and traced the source , the one who has no face is him.
Seeing that Wang Wenqiang had been comforted, Yan Ruxu turned his head and said to Chen Yang in a cold and serious voice, "It's not up to you to take care of my affairs, so hurry up and leave!"
She is really tired of this Chen Yang.
She didn't feel much about Chen Yang's thoughts on her. Youthful feelings, and a secret love hidden in my heart, I didn't provoke anyone, I can't control what people think in their hearts, but Chen Yang can't hide his feelings more and more, and often looks at her in a daze Lost in ecstasy, unconsciously wanting to get close to her, being extremely concerned about her affairs...
Even Jiang Yun could see it, implying that she paid attention to Chen Yang.
Yan Ruxu began to intentionally let Chen Yang know in daily conversations that he would not like anyone, and he had no plans to get married again. However, this trick didn't seem to work. Chen Yang is not a person who can control his mind and emotions. , Recently, his feelings for her have become more and more exposed, but he still has a look of love in his heart, and he is determined not to confess, so Yan Ruxu can't refuse him straightforwardly.
Yan Ruxu was already considering the possibility of transferring Chen Yang out of her office, whoever arrived first, this happened today.
Although Wang Wenqiang said nothing, but sat there, his eyes swept over Yan Ruxu and Chen Yang, with a cold and clear smile, Yan Ruxu glared at him threateningly.
Chen Yang was still standing there, looking at her with a hurt face. Yan Ruxu was helpless, afraid that if Chen Yang continued to stand here with this expression, others would notice him, so he could only soften his voice and comfort him first: "Okay, thank you for what happened just now, you go back first."
Finally, Chen Yang nodded and left reluctantly.
Finally left! Yan Ruxu breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that he would continue to make trouble here no matter what.
There is nothing I can do to meet this kind of young man. He is self-righteous, passionate, impulsive and irritable. He does things according to instinct, but he doesn't think about the consequences at all. , What are the consequences for myself.
Wang Wenqiang rubbed the place where he was beaten, with a playful smile on his face, "Oh, there is a young man who helped you out!"
His eyes became much clearer. Obviously, Chen Yang's slap just now made him sober up a lot.
Yan Ruxu: "Don't pretend to be crazy with wine, just based on what you just said to me, this slap is not wronged! If I were you, I would remember the lesson of this slap, and be honest with others when I feel jealous or complain. Keep it in your heart, so that you don't get yourself into trouble with your cheap talk!"
Just as Yan Ruxu had known Wang Wenqiang for several years, and it was the first time he heard Wang Wenqiang speak sour and malicious obscene words like a street hooligan, it was also the first time Wang Wenqiang heard such mean and vicious words from Yan Ruxu. threatening words.
Wang Wenqiang has always known that Yan Ruxu is not a simple woman, and a simple woman would not be a war reporter. But he was still aggrieved, he and Yan Ruxu were ten years apart, and he was a big man, but no matter their administrative level or position, they were about the same.
He was jealous of Yan Ruxu's smooth sailing, and he stood on the high steps from the beginning. She caught up with the good times. She was the first graduate after the resumption of the college entrance examination. At that time, there was a shortage of highly educated talents. Graduates from famous schools like Yan Ruxu were scrambling to get them from various major units, offering various preferential terms one after another. In order to attract talents, the daily newspapers assign higher ranks to new employees.
Yan Ruxu was a reporter in the field and won a news award in just a few months. After she was pregnant, she caught up with the establishment of a magazine. With her honor, she became the deputy editor-in-chief of the column at a young age. This month, she made another plan. This has increased the sales volume of the magazine by one-third, which is said to have set a Guinness record!
Originally, if there was no Yan Ruxu for comparison, Wang Wenqiang's life was very proud until now, but he was more angry than others. With Yan Ruxu, he felt like a wimp and was overwhelmed by a little girl.
The jealousy in his heart was slowly accumulating in his heart. After drinking some wine today, he saw the president Xu Huanqing treating Yan Ruxu so kindly like his own nephew. Only by speaking bad words to her can it be reduced.
However, this woman is so lucky, there is also a man to help him out at this time!
But what Yan Ruxu said is not unreasonable, and it is true that there is no reason to make a fuss. Everyone in the magazine is a smart person, and when he quarreled with a great hero at the celebration banquet, his jealousy was clearly revealed. Besides, it would be disgraceful to say that a big man quarreled with a woman. What's more, the leaders are all there. If there's a commotion on a good day, wouldn't it add to the appreciation of the leaders? Which leader would promote such a subordinate?
After returning to his senses, Wang Wenqiang began to regret his actions just now. Just as he was about to say something, he saw President Xu's secretary coming over, looked at Wang Wenqiang, then turned to Yan Ruxu, and asked, "Are you okay?"
Wang Wenqiang was immediately nervous, and he was relieved when he heard Yan Ruxu say "it's all right".
Then I heard the president's secretary say: "The president is leaving first, do you want to drop by and take you back?"
Yan Ruxu hesitated, she wanted to leave, but when she looked at the restaurant, everyone from the leader to the staff of the magazine was still there, so she couldn't just leave now, so she shook her head at the secretary: "I'll leave after the party, I'll go with you to see off the president."
Wang Wenqiang looked at the back of Yan Ruxu and the president's secretary walking side by side, and always felt that the relationship between Yan Ruxu and the president was unusual, so he couldn't help but regret his self-willedness just now, thinking, he must find Yan Ruxu to apologize tomorrow, don't Let her make trouble behind her back.
The celebration banquet was not too late. Secretary Gao asked everyone to leave around 8:30, and Secretary Gao told everyone to go in groups of two or three. Yan Ruxu walked with the big guys who lived in the family home for a while, and then she was alone. She was going to go home from the corner gate. There were roads over there, and there were street lights on the road, so it was safe.
Today is a cloudy day, with layers of dark clouds covering the dark sky, covering both the moon and the stars. The breeze blew away the heat of the day, and it was very cool.
Yan Ruxu rode very fast, the surrounding rustled, as if the sound of tires slowly crushing the road, there was a strange sound of insects, the sound of the wind buzzing in his ears, his back felt chills, and he always felt that there was something behind him. It seemed that she didn't dare to look around, let alone look back, and only looked at the road ahead.
Yan Ruxu turned onto a street and stopped the car suddenly. The street lights in this area were either broken or forgot to turn on. It was dark in front of him, and there was only a ray of orange light coming from a distant place.
Yan Ruxu hesitated standing at the junction of light and darkness, a little lacking the courage to step into the darkness. She seemed to hear footsteps coming from behind her, she quickly took out a flashlight from her satchel, turned it on, and suddenly looked behind her, and saw a person suddenly raised his arm to block his eyes.
"Chen Yang?" Yan Ruxu put down the flashlight.
Chen Yang lowered his arms, revealing his face. The distance was too far, Yan Ruxu couldn't see Chen Yang's expression clearly, but he could feel the burning gaze, as if he was going to burn someone. Yan Ruxu had a bad premonition in his heart, and quickly said: "Chen Yang, it's late, you should go home quickly."
Chen Yang walked towards her, and when he got closer, he could hear his rapid breathing and the sweat dripping from his forehead. Under the dim light, Chen Yang looked like It is also very different during the day.
Yan Ruxu couldn't help pushing the bicycle back two steps quietly, half covering his body in the darkness.
Chen Yang didn't listen to Yan Ruxu's words, and said to himself: "It's too dark, it's not safe for you to go alone, I want to see you off." His voice was unsteady, but it didn't seem like he lost his mind after drinking too much wine. Looking rational, Yan Ruxu breathed a sigh of relief, and coaxed him to say, "My house is just ahead, and we'll be there soon. You can go back."
But Chen Yang turned a deaf ear, walked towards her, stared at her quietly, "Yan Ruxu, I have something to tell you."
This is another person who has been emboldened by wine!
Yan Ruxu's heart was ringing with alarms, he picked up the flashlight and quickly took a look at the dark place, then stepped on the bicycle, and rode away without looking back.
"I'll talk about it tomorrow, hurry home!" In the darkness, Yan Ruxu's voice came from afar.
She could probably guess what Chen Yang was going to say. She wasn't afraid that Chen Yang would speak out, it could just reject him and make him give up, but the timing was wrong, she was afraid that Chen Yang would act irrationally now, just like shaking his fist at Wang Wenqiang at the celebration banquet.
Therefore, avoidance is the best way.
Fearing that Chen Yang would catch up, Yan Ruxu fled all the way home, ignoring the fear of darkness.
"Yan Ruxu, Yan Ruxu!"
Chen Yang shouted Yan Ruxu's name, and chased a few steps forward. When he reached the junction of light and darkness, he suddenly fell to the ground, holding his head, and burst into tears. The insects and birds stopped their singing and fled quickly.
Chen Yang was in a panic. Ever since he beat Wang Wenqiang but was reprimanded by Yan Ruxu, he was suffocating. What Yan Ruxu did hurt his heart. He didn't understand, he was obviously helping Yan Ruxu, why didn't she know what was good or bad! Wang Wenqiang's words are so ugly, like a vulgar woman in the market, she still has to swallow her anger, why! What kind of character is Yan Ruxu? How can I not know that I am in the same office as her? She wished she could hang a chastity archway on her body, but that disgusting Wang Wenqiang wanted to put a **** bowl on Yan Ruxu's body!
He really couldn't stand it, he couldn't see her being bullied, even though she reprimanded him, he still felt sorry for her, for some reason, his feelings for her were like scurrying flames, setting fires everywhere in his heart, He couldn't restrain himself, he wanted to confess to her, he wanted to persuade her to be with him, he thought, as long as Yan Ruxu was willing to be with him, he didn't care whether it was his parents' objection or worldly eyes !
After making up his mind, he couldn't sit still anymore. He stayed absent-minded until the celebration banquet was over, and wanted to find Yan Ruxu, take her home, and then confess to her, but who knew, when he wasn't paying attention, Yan Ruxu Xu rode away on his bicycle, riding so fast, he chased all the way, tired like a dog, but Yan Ruxu didn't even give him a chance to confess!
He is so wronged! A dignified high-achieving student from a prestigious university, who used to be a man of the school, and was secretly pursued by many school girls, why did Chen Yang become like this, being abandoned by a woman like a shoe, it's so sad!
He was so angry that he didn't give a chance, couldn't see his goodness, and was also angry that he couldn't let go. There are so many women in the world, not to mention others, even Han Mei, who is in the same office, intentionally or unintentionally expressed his affection to him. I just fell in love with Yan Ruxu, a heartless woman!
I don't know which house's light is on on the side of the road. I opened the window and looked out, and shouted: "Who, those who don't sleep at night are mourning!"
Chen Yang couldn't hear anything, tears flowed down his fingers, immersed in his own sadness.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, a big hand patted on Chen Yang's shoulder. Chen Yang felt the weight on his shoulder a little slowly, and then suddenly raised his head. It can be seen that it is the outline of a person. Chen Yang was startled, and hurriedly stood up and backed away, but felt that the big hand on his shoulder suddenly exerted force, and he seemed to be fixed by a nail, and he couldn't use any force at all. He said in amazement: "You …Who are you?"
The man sighed, and spoke quietly, his voice was low and magnetic, and he could hear the voice of a mature man: "Give up, she doesn't like you, don't worry her any more!"
Hearing this sentence, Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and asked in a hoarse and dry voice: "Who are you? What is your relationship with Yan Ruxu?"
The man didn't answer his question, but only said what he wanted to say: "Don't pester him, if you keep pestering him, she will hate you even more."
Chen Yang faded away from the fright, and became angry from embarrassment: "Why do you say she doesn't like me? Do you understand her? Do you understand me?" He roared, but tears came down again. He raised his sleeve and wiped the tears on his nose.
The man took away the hand on his shoulder and said: "You are just infatuated with her for a while, forget her and find someone who likes you and suits you. The pain is temporary, and it will be fine after a while." .”
Chen Yang was angry: "You know what a fart, why do you comment on my feelings for her like that!"
The man was not angry, and was very patient, "Okay, if you have true feelings for her, then you should let go. Love is fulfillment, not possession. If your heart for her is true, then you should let her go." Concerned about her feelings."
Chen Yang: "Who are you? Is it her ex-husband, her object, or her admirer? In what capacity are you telling me these things?"
The man said: "It's getting late, you go home, lie on the bed at night and think about it. If you can't forget him for a while, think about what I said today."
Chen Yang was about to go crazy, this was a chicken-and-duck talk. He frantically pulled his hair, kicked his legs, and beat his chest, one by one, not listening to what he wanted to say, just saying what they wanted to say.
"Okay, let's go, the security is not good now, it's too late and it's not safe, how about I see you?" The man changed his tone, his voice was low, as if he was coaxing an ignorant child.
Chen Yang suddenly felt dull, stood up angrily, stomped his feet vigorously, stared fiercely at the dark place before turning around and leaving abruptly.
After Chen Yang's figure disappeared, Kang Congxin walked over from the dark place. He took two steps forward, sat on the curb, and stared at the direction of Yan Ruxu's house for a long time.
