I walked to the corner more than ten meters away from the booth, then leaned against the wall, put one foot up, and dialed Lin Xiaojuan's phone number.

Pan Shilong was standing not far away, squatting and eating his lunch box, looking at me.

I can almost feel the sound of his mouth being smacked while eating, and his cheeks are bulging high.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Xiaojuan was concerned about whether I had eaten. My stomach was growling, so I answered her that I was very busy just now and would wait to eat.

She told me I will tell you something and you promise me not to get excited.

Are all women like this? You know clearly that what you say later will make a man excited, but you still ask him not to get excited.

I said just say whatever you have.

She asked again there, promise me, don't get excited.

I said, OK, I promise you won't get excited.

Men are like this sometimes. For the woman they love, they will agree to her unreasonable demands without conscience.

How could I not be excited?

Before she said anything, I was already getting a little excited.

Lin Xiaojuan said that her previous company had business dealings with our current company, and Director Lin often visited our company recently.

Then she said nothing. She was waiting for me to answer.

I said, well, what next?

She said, and recently he has been pursuing me crazily and just sent a large bouquet of flowers to the front desk at noon...

I interrupted her and said, being single is called being pursued. If you have a boyfriend, it is called being harassed. What about the others?

Lin Xiaojuan said, I don’t know what to do now. If this continues, will I have to change jobs again?

I said, why do you want to change jobs again? Can't you refuse him?

Lin Xiaojuan said, I have refused many times these days, but they are very persistent.

I listened here and felt very uncomfortable. I thought to myself that you actually used the word persistence to describe a dirty guy who was trying to corner the wall, and also said that you rejected him many times.

What happened that time she came back in his car that I saw with my own eyes?

What about the ones I didn’t see with my own eyes?

Lin Xiaojuan asked softly on the phone, are you listening?

I replied, "I'm listening. I have something else to do here. I'll call you later, okay?"

She said, okay, you remember to eat.

I didn't answer and hung up the phone.

Leaning against the wall, I took a few deep breaths. I hung up on her not because of anything else, but because I was afraid that I would be really excited.

Since I care about you so much and promised you not to get excited, even if I make you unhappy by hanging up the phone, I can't break my promise, right?

Even though I feel very inferior.

Lin Xiaojuan is a good girl, not very experienced in the world, full of beautiful fantasies about the world, and very polite and measured in dealing with people.

Maybe she told me this because she didn't know what to do.

But I really don’t know how to continue communicating with her. Maybe I’m too cautious, or maybe I’m too sensitive.

But if you say that I am sensitive, then I go back every day for ten days and pretend that nothing is wrong. Isn’t it very contradictory? Am I very nervous?

I was thinking randomly.

Maybe I was too hungry, but now I don't feel hungry at all.

Pan Shilong had already finished eating and was squatting in an inconspicuous corner next to the booth, smoking a cigarette.

I walked towards him.

The phone rang again. I picked it up and saw that it was Zheng Jian calling.

"Hello Mr. Gou, may I ask how you have been considering your house recently?"

I replied angrily: "Don't you have anyone else to call besides me?"

Zheng Jian said softly over there: "Brother Dog, don't be impatient. I can't keep calling others."

"So you just have nothing to do to harass me. You've been at work for so long, so you're not busy?"

Zheng Jian said softly: "I'm really right. I'm really not busy. I feel like I won't be able to stay in Shenzhen any longer. I've been working for so long and haven't sold a single house. My boss gave me the final order."

Ultimatum, if there is no performance this month, I will pack up and leave. Brother Dog, if you buy a set, you can save me."

I listened to his pitiful words and replied: "Save you? I am in the quagmire myself, who will save me? I won't talk to you anymore, I have to be busy here. When I have enough money,

I will definitely buy a house from you."

Zheng Jian sighed over there: "Hey, Brother Dog, don't give up. Why do you think I can't do any job well?"

I also sighed: "Well, you have to find the right person and the right way to do things. I am obviously not your customer, at least not now. You should spend your energy on those customers who really want to buy a house, and be precise.

,do you know?"

Zheng Jian: "But don't you want to buy a house? I think you are the customer."

Me: "I have to pay off the debt before I can buy it. I said, Brother, you are so persistent, why don't you open the bill?"

I hate the word persistence, at least not now.

Zheng Jian: "Can't you buy a house first and then pay off the debt? House prices are not expensive now. It's not cost-effective for you to wait until house prices rise before buying. Besides, doesn't your girlfriend's family require you to buy a house first before getting married?"

I walked over to Pan Shilong and knelt down, and said into the phone: "I don't want to continue living with debt. I will definitely buy a house, but not now. Besides, don't mention her to me, it's annoying."

Zheng Jian: "What's wrong?"

Pan Shilong handed me a cigarette. I waved my hand to say no, and he put the cigarette into my hand.

I replied to Zheng Jian: "I won't tell you anymore, I'm really going to die."

"Brother Dog, you have to listen to my advice and buy a house quickly. Don't regret it later."

"Don't buy, don't buy, don't buy, hang up, bye."

Pan Shilong saw that I hung up the phone, took out the lighter, come on, Brother Han, I'll light it for you.

I said I don't smoke.

Pan Shilong lit the lighter and said, as a man, there is nothing that cannot be solved with just one cigarette. If one cigarette is not enough, just get another cigarette.

After saying that, he looked at me sincerely, and the flame of the lighter swayed gently.

I put the cigarette in my mouth and he lit it for me.

I took a deep breath and blew out a smoke ring.

"Mao, didn't you say you don't smoke? From the looks of it, you are a heavy smoker."

I said, "Just because you don't smoke doesn't mean you don't know how to smoke."

"What, are you having trouble? Your girlfriend dumped you and then took over your property?"

I said, "What are you talking about? My girlfriend didn't dump me, and I don't have a house, so how can I occupy the property?"

"Then you looked so sad. Were you in such a bad mood just now?"

I took another drag of the cigarette and blew out the smoke into the air.

At this time, a staff member came and scolded me loudly. Don't you know you can't smoke in the exhibition hall? There are no-smoking signs everywhere, can't you see them?

I quickly put the cigarette on the floor and put it out. Pan Shilong was busy gesturing and explaining to the staff, "My guy has a brain problem. Please keep your voice down, or he will hit someone later."

I said, what the hell are you talking about?

The staff didn't know whether they saw me put out the cigarette or listened to Pan Shilong's words and left cursing.

I said: "Smoking is not allowed in this exhibition hall, but you still let me smoke?"

Pan Shilong: "It's okay. I often smoke in the exhibition hall. Don't you stop falling in love early if your parents don't let you fall in love early?"

I said: "I have never fallen in love early. I only fell in love in college. I thought I was just like you. My parents can't control you."

Pan Shilong: "Mao, my father passed away before I went to college. Who cares about me?"

I looked at him and spoke after a while: "My father also passed away before I went to college."

Pan Shilong looked at me, his eyes a little serious, and said, "Mao, why don't you do this just to comfort me?"

Then the two of us started chatting.

Hugo once wrote in his book "The Man Who Laughs": Destiny is a character in disguise, and there is no face more deceptive than this one.

After chatting for a long time, we realized that our previous destinies were so similar.

We were born in the same year, and I am three months older than him.

I am from Hunan and he is from Jiangxi.

Speaking of Jiangxi people, Pan Shilong is the most loyal and generous among the Jiangxi people I know.
