Chapter 25 Empathy


Chapter 25: Putting yourself in others’ shoes

Sun Tao said he was going to take a nap and had to change the plan in the afternoon.

Song Xuejia came out of Sun Tao's dormitory unwillingly. When she looked up, the door of 201 Tong Bin's dormitory was closed.

...Tong Bin and Sun Tao must have been chatting for a long time before we came over...

Song Xuejia secretly regretted that she had done something wrong today. How could a bunch of people come to ask for help at the same time? Even if Sun Tao had the means, he would not be able to agree!

Wang Hui followed Song Xuejia's gaze and looked at 201, and whispered: "Go back and tell me, people talk too much."

Xu Yunyun was the last one to walk out of the room. She was the last to arrive. Xu Yunyun was more thoughtful when they called her. She put on light makeup and put on a short skirt.

It's a pity that from beginning to end, Sun Tao didn't look at her at all.

——

Ten o'clock in the evening, Jianguo Community 301.

Sun Tao is a little confused now.

The entrance was very dark, so he didn't notice Li Xiaojun's dress. When he got to the living room, he saw it clearly.

She wore a white shirt and a black suit. She even wore a tie. The hem of the suit was a bit long, probably covering her shorts, making it look like she was wearing nothing underneath.

In 2002, the Korean wave was getting more and more popular, but the girl group’s technique of disappearing bottoms probably hadn’t spread yet.

Sun Tao was a little vague. Could it be that this way of dressing has been passed down, but people like him who are not sensitive to fashion have not been exposed to it yet.

Li Xiaojun looked at him with a smile, "Why are you so restrained today? I won't eat you."

Sun Tao smiled awkwardly, "What I said during the day was true. Although I am not a gentleman, I would not have been able to do such a thing without that misunderstanding."

Li Xiaojun walked towards the sofa, "Do you know what your name is?"

Sun Tao touched his nose and thought to himself, what is it called? I didn't scream, it was you who screamed.

Li Xiaojun chuckled, "Why don't you say anything? I regret it and I'm scared. Hahaha, it's only ten years since I started."

Sun Tao thought for a while, "Three years?"

"Forget it, stop being ridiculous. I scared you. If you were old and ugly, you would be in there by now.

The little boy is still a bit chauvinistic, why are you nervous? If you think about it, an 18-year-old beautiful girl forces a 30-year-old man to play poker with her. Should the man be angry or secretly happy? ”

She sat on the sofa while talking. It wasn't the hem of her suit that covered her shorts, there were no shorts at all.

……

midnight.

"Who did you drink with? I didn't hear that you have any friends. Maybe I knew you were planning a show and came here to cram it."

"Tong Bin, the dancer who lives above me is also new here. He said that the dance he danced was Western dance. I don't remember what he said specifically."

"Tong Bin? I've never heard of anyone mentioning it. If he is really a dancer, his level shouldn't be that good."

"I originally studied vocal music, and I even formed my own band. When the band couldn't continue, I ended up working here to earn a living."

"Then he didn't ask you if you didn't go back to the dormitory?"

"A group of people blocked my dormitory at noon, and he was there at that time. I told him that I would stay at a classmate's house for the next two days and hide away. If anyone comes back to find me, help me persuade them to leave."


Li Xiaojun smiled and leaned on Sun Tao's shoulder, "Well, classmate, I understand, I will still wear the school uniform tomorrow. Hey, do you have a girl you like? Take this opportunity, hehehe, you are such a naughty person, you don't need me to teach you ”

Sun Tao clicked somewhere and said, "What are you talking about? I already told you that I am a good person."

Li Xiaojun hesitated for a moment, "Hahaha, good man, I believe you. Hey, then you and Qin Boya..."

"Stop it! We are just colleagues. Rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests. We are in the same office every day, so it's better to keep some distance. If we fall out one day, it will be difficult to deal with."

Li Xiaojun looked at Sun Tao strangely.

"What's wrong?"

"Sometimes you act like an eighteen-year-old, reckless and reckless, without any regard for the consequences; sometimes you act like an old man, hesitant and afraid of this and that." "How is your yoga studio doing?"

"The business license has been applied for a long time ago, and the store decoration has been completed for a while. Otherwise, why would I resign? It will be ready to open at any time."

"Go and see someday."

"My yoga is for women, stop for boys."

……

While he and Tong Bin were having barbecue outside, people kept coming to 101 to look for him. Not only were the newcomers living in the dormitory, but also local actors and even his former leader Zhang Liang.

Many people lingered in the dormitory area and refused to leave until Tong Bin came back and told them that Sun Tao had gone to attend a classmate's wedding and would not be staying in the dormitory for the past three days.

When they learned that Sun Tao and Tong Bin were having barbecue and drinking beer together, everyone looked at Tong Bin with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

……

After closing the door, Tong Bin let out a sigh of relief. Damn it, it was the first time that someone was jealous of him for inviting someone to dinner.

After resting for a while, I was ready to wash up and go to bed.

"Pa bang bang"

"Tong Bin, are you asleep..."

——

Thursday, August 22, 2002, 8:30 am, conference room on the third floor.

There were more than a dozen people, including Wen Jianjun, Zhang Qianjin, and the middle-level members of the song and dance troupe, including Sun Tao and Qin Boya.

Zhang Na handed the planning plans to everyone one by one and then calmly retreated to the door and stood with her hands down.

Wen Jianjun, "Xiao Zhang, it's none of your business, go ahead."

Zhang Na nodded, and she didn't even want to hear it. Why should she keep it a secret? I just read it when I printed it.

Looking up at Sun Tao, who was sitting opposite Wen Jianjun, Zhang Na turned around and left the conference room.

The person whom I looked down on at first suddenly got on top of me.

……

The conference rooms of public institutions are all similar, with a circle of tables forming a rectangular shape, and a dozen or so people sitting together. If there are more people, those with lower rankings and junior qualifications will consciously sit in the back row.

Each person has a notebook, a pen, a cup of tea, and a first draft of the planning plan.

Wen Jianjun, “Let’s take a look and let us know if you have any ideas.”

Zhang Qianjin said, "Why don't you let Xiao Sun speak for himself first?"

Wen Jianjun nodded, "Xiao Sun, please give a brief introduction first."

White shirt, black trousers, and leather shoes. This was Sun Tao's outfit when he took graduation photos. It's okay if you don't look carefully, but the fabric is actually very poor.

However, no one was worrying about the quality of his clothes at this time, and all eyes were focused on that young and handsome face.

Sun Tao nodded, completely looking down on the nervousness and embarrassment. It felt like everyone was getting together to chat.

"I will first talk about the idea of ​​​​preparing this event, and then talk about the steps.

Our song and dance troupe has just been established, and we need to do something to let the people in the county know about us. This is like setting off a few firecrackers every time a store opens. We need to build momentum. At this time, no one cares about how much firecrackers cost. , How much does it cost to hire a gong and drum troupe? The return will be something later..."

The middle-aged people who originally lowered their heads with disdain on their faces gradually raised their heads.

When several people looked at each other, they all felt a little sad.

……

This young man has something. We are old and we are about to be photographed on the beach! ! !
