Chapter 1044 The kind-hearted ex-husband
Chen Feng finally failed to overcome his conscience and chose to find Shen Lin.
No matter how much he didn't want to meet Shen Lin, let alone get back together with her, she was his ex-wife after all, and the two had loved each other before. The reason for the divorce later was not because of any big conflicts or dirty things.
The two did not become enemies after their divorce, and of course they could not become lovers again.
At least it is impossible for Chen Feng to regard her as his lover anymore, but to regard her as a friend, it doesn't feel like that.
In short, Chen Feng's feelings for Shen Lin are quite complicated. They are neither enemies, lovers, nor friends. They are a very special existence.
Knowing that she might be in danger, he actually really didn’t want to take care of her after persuading her to no avail.
But in the end, she couldn't stand the torment in her heart and chose to go find Shen Lin to avoid her possible danger.
Chen Feng is such a kind ex-husband!
……
Tang Keming asked Shen Lin to order a few dishes first, and then he also ordered a few dishes himself.
After the waiter left, Tang Keming talked endlessly about what happened in his original unit, mainly the inspirational process of how he was promoted to section chief in just five or six years.
In a light and self-deprecating tone, he talked about his work experience, experience and insights in the past few years. In his opinion, many aspects of him and Shen Lin were in common and even resonated with her.
It has been more than seven years since Shen Lin joined this unit as an intern, but she has not been promoted in terms of her position, and her grade is still only mid-level. The reason is simple, there is no one above.
She was transferred from the Office Department to the Human Resources Department at the end of last year because she was senior enough. In addition, two people in the Human Resources Department had retired and they needed someone who could actually do things, so she was transferred there.
Life has become easier, but there are still no changes in positions and titles, and even the salary has not increased much.
She cannot share and resonate with Tang Keming on this point.
The stories Tang Keming told were so inspiring, and Shen Lin felt aggrieved when she heard them.
She is one of those people who really do things and work in the unit. Most of the dirty work in the unit is done by people like them, but in the end the credit is often not theirs. Promotions and salary increases are often not available to them.
According to the previous words, they are hardworking old scalpers who endure hardship first, and enjoyment may not be their turn.
Tang Keming's working experience is not as good as hers, and his working ability is not necessarily that strong. Even through observation of working in the same office these days, Tang Keming, the section chief, was like most people in the unit, in a state of fishing. If he had left her to do her day's work, it would have been completed in an hour at most.
But he is now her supervisor and she is a subordinate.
Is this fair? It's certainly not fair.
But this is the fact, and she has to accept it even if she can't accept it.
So, when Tang Keming told her these things, it would only make her feel dissatisfied with his connections.
"Last year I was promoted to section chief mainly because I was lucky. There were originally three candidates including me. However, during the inspection, the other two had accidents. One made inappropriate remarks at the wine table and was kicked out. My deskmate took a video and posted it online, which caused a very bad impact on another person who is in his forties. He actually had an inappropriate relationship and was reported to the work by his lover. I had no choice but to fall in love with him. I can only say that I was very lucky, haha."
Tang Keming said to himself. It was funny, but Shen Lin didn't think so at all. She just twitched the corner of her mouth, picked up the water glass and took a sip.
Seeing that she didn’t respond, Tang Keming felt a little embarrassed on his face. He quickly picked up the water glass and took a sip. Then he said with a smile on his face: "Everything is good in my original unit, but I feel too curly sometimes. , you know, many young people are very They often want to make progress and do not work down-to-earth. Instead, they like to do some fancy tricks.
For example, they try to catch fish during normal working hours, but then deliberately cover their heads and work overtime after work. I can only say that they are too naive. Yes. But he When they do this, we old guys are a little passive. Many times, we have to follow the trend of these young people and work overtime. In addition, after I became the section chief, I felt a lot of pressure. I also know that the nature of work in my former unit is much busier than our current unit. Of course, these are not the main reasons why I decided to transfer.”
Although he did not mention the main reason for the transfer in the end. But of course Shen Lin can understand, isn't it just because of her?
He wanted to move Shen Lin, but was Shen Lin moved? Apparently not.
Shen Lin suddenly spoke and asked directly: "You must have been in love before, right? How many girlfriends have you had?"
She couldn't keep silent, but If you want to speak, you must say something very direct and make the other party uncomfortable.
She didn’t want Tang Keming to have any misunderstanding.
Sure enough, Tang Keming felt obviously uncomfortable when she asked this question so directly, but he still had to answer.
"I have been in love twice so far. One was when I was in college. Then she had to go back to her hometown after graduation, so we had no choice but to break up. The other time was when I was working, and my friend introduced me to her. She was a turtle working for a foreign company. , the salary is very high, we have been together for almost two years, you know, they are like this. She was a turtle, drank foreign ink, had a certain amount of contempt for our country, and had some disagreements with each other. In addition, she later fell in love with a foreigner, so she broke up with me. "
Tang. The two love experiences that Ke Ming mentioned are generally true, but he must have been in love more than twice. After all, his own conditions are here, and he went to college in Xiuzhou. As a native of Xiuzhou, he has the natural right to choose a spouse during college. He had three girlfriends in college and three after graduation.
Before college, he also talked about two in high school.
So, can he tell the truth? Obviously not.
Originally, he wanted to say that he had only been in love once, when he was in college, but then he thought about it. Not only did Shen Lin not believe it, he himself didn't believe it, so he only said that he had been in love twice. in love.
But even so, Shen Lin couldn't believe it.
A man’s mouth is a lie.
Although Tang Keming has a decent face, she knows very well that you should not judge people by their superficial appearance.
Not to mention Tang Keming's pursuit of her. If you say that he has never pursued other women like this before, who would believe it?
"How is it possible that you have only been in love twice? It's impossible." Shen Lin expressed her doubts directly.
Tang Keming said with an innocent face: "It's really only twice. I am a person who prefers to be short of things. I will never fall in love with anyone. So, just twice. Otherwise, I am not boasting. With my conditions, I will change it every month." Girlfriends are not a problem. "
Shen Lin curled her lips, but did not refute his words. She just said with a slight sarcasm: "It's really a pity for you, San. I have only had two girlfriends when I was ten years old."
This made Tang Keming feel blocked, and couldn't help but ask: "What about you? How many times have you been in love?"
Shen Lin said expressionlessly: "I have only been in love once, with my ex-husband."
Tang Keming also wanted to ridicule when he heard this, but in the end he held it back. A little impatience will mess up a big plan.
"Then your ex-husband was really lucky before. Now that he divorces you, I believe it will be a lifelong loss for him."
Tang Keming's words were originally meant to please Shen Lin, but Shen Lin felt very uncomfortable hearing them. Comfortable, because the opposite was true. After she divorced Chen Feng, Chen Feng had no loss, but she felt that it was a loss for her whole life.
Therefore, Tang Keming's words sounded like he was mocking her.
"Are you really going to apply for transfer back to your original unit tomorrow?" Shen Lin directly changed the topic and asked.
Tang Keming's face froze slightly, and he felt very unhappy, but on the surface he still looked serious, nodded and said: "Of course, I will do what I say."
Shen Lin said as if deliberately looking for trouble: "I told you just now, that friend of mine is actually not a big shot. You don't need to be afraid of him. If you were afraid of him before and chose to transfer back to your original unit, then you don't have to now. ." Tang Keming felt a slight movement in his heart and asked, "What do you mean? Don’t you want me to be transferred back to my original unit?”
Shen Lin shook her head decisively: “Of course not, I hope you will be transferred back and don’t bother me again in the future.”
When Tang Keming heard this, he almost cursed, but he still held it back.
After pretending to be silent and frustrated for a while, he nodded solemnly and said, "Okay then, I will apply to be transferred back to my original unit tomorrow. I will ask my second uncle to say hello. It shouldn't be difficult. You Don’t worry, since you’re not interested in me, I don’t want to bother you by staying here any longer.”
"That's no problem." Shen Lin nodded expressionlessly.
Her cold and distant look made Tang Keming's teeth itch.
Just now he still had a little worry and hesitation, but now he is gone. Tonight he must win over this woman and make her his.
I believe that as long as a combination of threats, inducements and intimidation comes down, she will have no choice but to accept her fate.
The private room was a little quiet for a while, but fortunately, the waiter came over with food.
The dishes they ordered were brought to the table one after another.
“Come, try this stewed crab roe lion head, which is one of the signature dishes here.” Tang Keming greeted enthusiastically.
Shen Lin didn't say anything, just nodded, picked up the chopsticks, took a piece of it into the stew pot and tasted it. It tasted really good.
"How is it? Not bad, right?" Tang Keming asked with a smile.
Shen Lin then said: "It's good, fat but not greasy, it melts in your mouth and has a good taste."
"As long as you like it. In the future... if you want to eat, you can come here to eat at any time. I have also brought a new customer to Mr. Xu."
Shen Lin did not answer, just lowered her head and continued. Start eating.
She really likes this lion head. Since Tang Keming is a treater and apologizes, she won't be shy. After all, she has been harassed by the other party in the past few days, and eating him will be an advantage for him.
After the next dishes were put on the table, Tang Keming introduced each dish and talked eloquently. He knew every dish very well, and it seemed that he had done his homework. In other words, he is a big foodie.
Tang Keming spoke enthusiastically, but Shen Lin basically didn't respond. Tang Keming was talking and Shen Lin was eating.
Tang Keming didn't look angry at all on the surface. After Shen Lin tasted every dish, he got up and went to the counter next to him to bring a pot of tea and two teacups on a tray, pouring them for himself and Shen Lin. He ordered a cup of tea, then placed one cup in front of Shen Lin and said, "This time I invite you to dinner, mainly to apologize to you. We both have to drive, so I offer tea instead of wine to apologize to you."
Shen Lin waved her hand and said, "No need. As long as you keep your promise and apply to be transferred back to your original unit tomorrow, the matter between us will end here."
Tang Keming looked humble. He said: "I still want it. If I don't offer you tea and apologize, I can't truly represent my apology. I'll drink it first."
After saying that, he raised his glass and drank up the cup of tea in his hand. .
Seeing this, Shen Lin hesitated for a moment, then reached out to pick up the small tea cup in front of her. In Tang Keming's nervous and expectant expression, she saw Shen Lin was about to raise the cup and drink it, but she heard There was a ding-dong sound, which was the sound coming from Shen Lin's cell phone. It should be the message Tang Yue sent her.
While Shen Lin was eating before, her cell phone dinged from time to time, which made Tang Keming feel unhappy but helpless. This time the dinging made him even more crazy.
Because after Shen Lin heard the ding-dong sound, she put the tea cup down again and picked up her phone to check.
As expected, it was from Tang Yue. Shen Lin didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that she was just following their previous agreement to send messages to each other every ten minutes to ensure Shen Lin's safety.
After reading this message: [Chen Feng is here, I saw he went in, he should be looking for you]
Shen Lin couldn't help but feel ecstatic, and almost got up and went out to greet her. But I still held back.
"Shen Lin, look, why don't you drink this cup of tea first? This will mean that you have forgiven me. Otherwise, I will be very uneasy in my heart."
Tang Keming was afraid of long nights and many dreams, so he couldn't help but speak. urge.
Shen Lin had no suspicion at first, but when she saw him urging him so anxiously, she couldn't help but become wary. Chen Feng had warned her that Tang Keming was unkind to her, so she came to the appointment with full vigilance. , otherwise Tang Yue would not be asked to wait for him outside.
"Drinking tea is just a formality, you don't need to pay too much attention." Shen Lin said pretending to be indifferent.
Tang Keming was even more anxious when he saw this. He was about to succeed and only had this last bite left. How could he be willing to fail?
"Serving tea and apologizing is in this form. Only if you drink the tea I offer, does it mean that you have really forgiven me. Otherwise, I will suspect that you have not forgiven me in your heart. If so, I will be transferred tomorrow I won’t feel at ease if I leave.”
Tang Keming said this, it’s really hard to refuse.
Even though Shen Lin disliked seeing him, she still felt that it would be unjustifiable if she didn't drink the tea. I ate all the food I apologized for, but didn’t drink the tea I apologized for. This was obviously inappropriate.
"Well, since you insist on me drinking this tea, then I..."
Shen Lin picked up the tea cup again and made a gesture of wanting to drink tea.
As a result, at this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, and Shen Lin couldn't help but stop her movements again and looked at the door.
Tang Keming also turned to look at the door angrily.
After two knocks on the door, the door of the box was opened from the outside, and what came into view was the face that was extremely familiar to Shen Lin.
The visitor was none other than Chen Feng. After he arrived here, he wanted to break into the back compartment directly, but the entrance to the passage was guarded by two tall male employees, so not everyone could enter.
Chen Feng didn't want to call Shen Lin at this time, so he had to go to the front desk first, open Shen Lin's photo on his mobile phone, and ask which box she was in.
At first, the front desk lady didn't want to answer, but Chen Feng took out his VIP card at Wenhuaju and handed it to her to look at, and then said that Shen Lin was a friend of hers. She had originally made an appointment with him to come here for dinner, but the phone number Unable to contact her, he was afraid something might happen, so he came over to see her.
Wenhuaju is one of the best private restaurants in Xiuzhou. They also cook private dishes here. How could they not know about Wenhuaju, a colleague of theirs?
In fact, Mandarin Residence is of a much higher standard than here and is not open to the public. Although they have a reservation system, they are actually open to the public. As long as you have money, you can come over at any time. Spend here.
But in Wenhua Residence, it’s no use just having money. You also need to have connections and status, otherwise you won’t be able to get in at all.
Anyone who can work at the front desk here must have good taste. After seeing Chen Feng’s Mandarin Residence VIP card, his attitude immediately became extremely good. He immediately informed Shen Lin of the box where she was, and even took Chen Feng with him. Go in and find someone.
So, under the kind guidance of the receptionist, Chen Feng went all the way to Shen Lin and Tang Keming's box. After politely knocking on the door twice, he stretched out his hand to open it. After seeing that Shen Lin was indeed inside, he did not hesitate. You were polite and walked right in.
I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Happy National Day!
