Chapter 58 Turn a blind eye
When he got off work, Lu Nianchen invited all the employees of the magazine to have dinner and sing karaoke together, just like every newcomer who just joined the job invited the old employees to dinner, in order to naturally enhance the relationship between each other. As the new boss of the magazine, Lu Nianchen
Naturally, we understand this.
"But I..." Sui Xinlei was about to refuse, but was interrupted by Lu Nianchen in front of everyone. He put his hands in his trousers pockets, with a regretful expression on his handsome face, but he looked at everyone, "
Isn’t this too disappointing for everyone?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone who was tidying up their desks and preparing to have fun later stopped what they were doing, and collectively turned their attention to Sui Xinlei: "Sister Xinlei, how can you not go? You are ours.
Editor-in-Chief, you must attend tonight."
Xiao Min originally wanted to take off the work ID hanging on her chest, but stopped at this moment.
"Yes, sister Xinlei, if you don't go, then what's the point of tonight's event? We might as well not go." Jiajia simply sat on the chair, with a somewhat depressed expression on her face.
"Yeah, yeah," others immediately echoed.
Seeing the situation, Sui Xinlei's face showed a look of embarrassment, so she hurriedly said:
"No, no, no, everyone, please don't be like this! I really have something to do today. Next time, I will definitely attend next time." Sui Xinlei smiled awkwardly, hoping that her explanation would be understood by everyone.
"What is so important?" Lina also came forward with a slight smile on her face, "Look, I, a new mother who is still breastfeeding, have left her baby to attend the party. Xinlei, why are you so embarrassed not to attend?
What? Huh?"
Lina raised her eyebrows and glanced at Sui Xinlei.
"But..." Sui Xinlei is really in trouble. She really has something to do tonight and can't leave. In a few days, the design competition that Song Ximin will participate in will begin. In the past few nights, she has been by Song Ximin's side to help her with reference.
Sui Xinlei and Song Ximin were very confident when they came up with the design sketch of "Three Precepts for Life" and were looking forward to the designed graphic works. She promised Song Ximin that she would stay with her these days and be his strong backing.
Cheer her up.
"Okay, Editor Sui, since everyone wants you to go, don't refuse and ruin everyone's fun." Lu Nianchen stood up and made the final decision without any explanation, "That's it, today
Let’s all get high together tonight!”
"I..." Sui Xinlei looked at Lu Nianchen, what she wanted to say was still stuck in her throat, but she saw Lu Nianchen walking past her towards the crowd as if he hadn't heard:
"I'm really hungry. Xiao Min, do you have any good recommendations?"
"Of course, I am a foodie," Xiao Min grinned. She counted on her fingers, "The hot pot restaurant on Chaohuang Road is good. In fact, Korean restaurants are also good. Theirs
The signature dishes are especially delicious, and there is also a newly opened restaurant on Desheng Road with a nice environment and great food...”
Xiao Minshu was serious and the introduction was very professional. Lu Nianchen and others also listened very seriously. Although they had not eaten yet, everyone was deeply attracted by Xiao Min's introduction. The atmosphere in the big office was once again
Once mobilized.
Seeing this, Sui Xinlei had no choice but to compromise. She sighed helplessly, took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to Song Ximin. But when she lowered her head and typed seriously, Lu Nianchen turned around and looked at Sui Xinlei who was concentrating.
The corner of his mouth raised a nice arc.
In the club room, the atmosphere was very high, and a group of people were having a good time. No matter whether you could sing or not, or whether you sang well or not, everyone would pick up the microphone and roar a few times. Jiajia was undoubtedly the winner tonight.
Mai Ba, she and Xiao Min were selecting the song list together in front of the song requesting station. Other colleagues were sitting in twos and threes, chatting and drinking. Everyone was here, relaxing to their heart's content tonight.
There were several colleagues sitting between Sui Xinlei and Lu Nianchen. Even though there was a distance between them, Sui Xinlei could still feel eyes on her. She avoided them intentionally, but she still accidentally collided with Lu Nianchen's eyes.
The dim light in the box shone on Lu Nianchen's side face. The brilliance of the light made the lines of his face exceptionally soft, and his eyes were also dyed with a layer of blurred color. Lu Nianchen curled his lips and smiled.
, the tenderness flowing in her eyes was all because of Sui Xinlei. His love was so obvious, but Sui Xinlei subconsciously quickly turned her head away, leaving Lu Nianchen alone to look at the man who fled in panic with some disappointment.
However, soon, the confidence from before was seen on Lu Nianchen's face: Sui Xinlei, you can't escape! This time, Lu Nianchen was very confident in pursuing her back to him.
The karaoke stage in the box suddenly became lively. It turned out that Jia Jia and Xiao Min were fighting for the microphone. Neither of them let go of the other, both of them were vying to sing the leading role. I don’t know who shouted:
"Boss and Sister Xinlei haven't opened their voices yet, why not let them shine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, other people started booing, including Xiao Min and Jia Jia, who had been fighting for the microphone just now:
"Boss, come one, come one, come one!" Everyone stood up and clapped their hands. Sui Xinlei didn't know who knocked her lightly, so she also sat up from the sofa, beating the beat a little dullly,
There was a commotion.
It was hard to reject the hospitality. Lu Nianchen was forced to stand up from the sofa. The smile on his face was so bright. While unbuttoning the cuffs of his shirt and rolling up the cuffs, he cleared his throat and said:
"In this case, then I will show my shame!"
"Okay!" They clapped their hands in unison, and everyone waited quietly for Lu Nianchen to show off his singing voice.
When the melody sounded in the box, everyone was sitting on the sofa or leaning in front of the bar, quietly watching Lu Nianchen standing in front of the karaoke table, staring at the big screen. The crystal ceiling on the ceiling illuminated
The brilliance of the scene made Lu Nianchen's tall and straight figure look particularly long. Several young girls who were new to the magazine were even more fascinated by Lu Nianchen at this moment. They held their chins and looked at his back without blinking.
.
Lu Nianchen, on the other hand, was staring at the big screen intently, holding the microphone with his slender hands, as if he was ready to sing at any time; everyone in the box seemed to be looking forward to his voice, except for Sui Xinlei.
People know that Lu Nianchen can sing extremely well! Because he won many grand prizes in singing competitions in college, and he once sang for himself. The man holding a guitar, under the cherry blossom tree, once sang for himself
The boy. Some memory fragments appeared intermittently in her mind. The back figure in front of her overlapped with the shadow of the boy in her mind, and then separated after overlapping. Sui Xinlei's thoughts were a little confused.
And when she cleared her mind and raised her eyes again, she found that the song Lu Nianchen had chosen to sing was actually "Walking on the Road of Life". The familiar melody was clearly echoing in her ears, and Lu Nianchen was holding the microphone under the big screen and was very emotional.
Singing, how could Sui Xinlei not be familiar with this song? It was precisely because of this song that she and Lu Nianchen met, fell in love, and finally broke up. After all, she and he did not walk the road of life hand in hand.
The atmosphere was a bit depressing, and Sui Xinlei had no intention of speculating on why Lu Nianchen chose this song. At this moment, she just wanted to go outside to get some air and sort out her thoughts. Thinking like this, she sat up from the sofa and walked out silently.
She entered the box. However, she couldn't see that Lu Nianchen was always looking at her.
In front of the sink in the bathroom, Sui Xinlei put her hands on the counter. The mirror in front of her clearly showed her face. Her face was very wet. The woman in the mirror patted her wet cheeks hard, and then
After taking a deep breath, the woman's lips slightly raised, revealing a shallow smile.
Looking in the mirror, Sui Xinlei gave herself an encouraging smile: Everything is over! Yes, everything is over, and she will live better!
After getting into a good mood, Sui Xinlei walked out of the bathroom.
However, what Sui Xinlei didn't expect was that as soon as she walked out of the bathroom, she saw Lu Nianchen. He was leaning against the wall on one side with a half-burned cigarette in his hand. Sui Xinlei's eyebrows frowned slightly.
, when did Lu Nianchen start smoking? In his memory, he had never had the habit of smoking.
"Nianchen, why are you here?" Shouldn't he be singing in the box? Sui Xinlei was confused.
"When you come out, I will come out!" Lu Nianchen twitched the corner of his mouth and said. He took out the half of the cigarette in his hand and threw it into the trash can nearby. He saw Sui Xinlei's frown just now. She didn't like it.
Yes, of course he won't do it.
Sui Xinlei said nothing, only feeling that the relationship between the two people was a bit awkward at this moment:
"Then, I'll go in first!"
Just as he was about to leave, Lu Nianchen reached out and grabbed Sui Xinlei's wrist and said:
"Xinlei, can you really not give me another chance?"
The song "Walking on the Road of Life" he just chose was done deliberately by Lu Nianchen. He deliberately sang it to Sui Xinlei. He wanted to use this song to exchange for those good memories of the past, but he never expected that Sui Xinlei did not listen.
