The woman who has no intention of the speaker and the man who has intention of the listener (I)

"By the way, I'll tell you a secret. Don't tell anyone." Generally speaking, when this sentence or similar expression becomes a woman's opening remarks, it also means that what she is going to say next will definitely be mixed with a lot of things that are passed on by word of mouth, hearsay and even half-truths, and it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong. Or to put it in a simpler and more straightforward term, it is-gossip.

Yi Yin is actually not a gossip-loving person. With his thin sense of existence in the company, those gossip communicators will not take the initiative to find him. However, Yi Yin and Bagua have always had the fate of cutting and confusing, which is actually related to his position ... Yi Yin is sitting in the corner of the office area of the business department.

This corner is definitely not a good location. First of all, this cubicle is not part of the original office layout, but a "temporary solution" made when the company expanded its staff but did not change the original office environment the year Yi Yin joined. In other words, Yi Yin was forced to stay in this corner. The space in this cubicle is much smaller than other cubicles. Although it is equipped with desks, filing cabinets and other things, Yi Yin, a big man, is so cramped that he doesn't even have room to turn around when he sits in it. Every time he enters or leaves his seat, he has to stand up first, then hold his chair and turn it 90 degrees on the spot, and then he has to put the chair back under the table to have enough space to enter and exit.

However, this temporary position has brought another "benefit" that Yi Yin didn't expect.

Yi Yin was surrounded by employees who had joined the company about a year earlier than him. The company's recruitment situation that year was quite special, as all the new employees were women. In other words, Yi Yin was actually surrounded by a group of female colleagues who were of similar age or even younger than him. Because of this, those colleagues who had joined the company at the same time as Yi Yin but were assigned to other office areas had expressed envy of Yi Yin half-truthfully. After all, they were a group of young men who had just graduated a few years ago. Whether they were single or in a relationship, it would definitely be a good thing to get along with young people of the opposite sex in their daily work. Moreover, Yi Yin's company was formerly a customer service company. Although its business has now expanded to become a cross-industry comprehensive information company, its past foundation still somewhat affected the present... The specific manifestation is that although the young girls and women around Yi Yin are fat and thin, none of them are really bad looking.

But ..... As the saying goes, if you don't take charge, you don't know how expensive the rice is. Although this example is not suitable for Yi Yin, Yi Yin's situation is really not that you don't know when you are happy, but this "blessing" really needs to be quoted.

At the beginning, when Yi Yin had just joined the company and had not yet been officially hired, he was still thinking about getting along well with the "beauties" around him. On the one hand, these women, big and small, were actually his predecessors, and on the other hand, he was also complacent at that time, thinking that he was "a little green among a sea of ​​flowers". But things did not go as he wished. Yi Yin really did not have the capital to become the "green" among a sea of ​​flowers, and his clumsy attempts to show his goodwill were completely inappropriate. In the end, not only did these women not show much kindness to him, but they naturally excluded him from this small circle where "only women can join". In the end, Yi Yin himself became autistic and became the most suitable air person for himself, which made these women gradually forget his existence, which in turn eased Yi Yin's previous situation of being excluded.

The most direct manifestation of this "relaxation" is that the gossip forum, which was originally pressed by the mute button as long as Yi Yin was present, will now be held as usual regardless of Yi Yin's presence or absence.

For example, now ... "Oh, come on, I promise I won't tell anyone." "Yeah, yeah, come on, don't keep us in suspense. What do you know?" Yi Yin, who is prone on his desk, seems to be fiddling with his mobile phone, but in fact, he keeps his ears as close as possible to the partition that doesn't have much sound insulation effect, so that he can further hear what those women are gossiping about. If it's another gossip topic, Yi Yin must have gone in the left ear and out the right ear. At most, he will go to the back of his head silently.

But today is completely different. The core of this group of women's gossip is Liang Lu. It's his sister Liang. The dream girl I miss so much appears in other women's gossip. Even if all the saliva is made up, Yi Yin will keep all these gossip in mind with the mentality that she would rather hear wrong than miss it. What's more ... There are some doubts in his own heart. Sister Liang's recent trajectory is indeed somewhat abnormal. At the same time, the gossip forum on the other side of the partition has ended the lengthy preparation and finally started to get down to business.

I only heard the female voice who started the topic first: "All right, I'll tell you. Last week, didn't I run an errand for my aunt to attend my cousin's parent-teacher conference? Guess who I bumped into? " . "The prickly cousin you complained about last time?" "Yes, yes, just him!" "Who is it?" "Oh, guess!" Although the answer to this question on this occasion is extremely obvious, the women on the other side of the partition are still "cooperating" with the interest of the topic initiator, and Yi Yin, who is eavesdropping on the other side of the partition, can't help but leave her mouth open.

But there will still be accidents in the sound of "cooperation". "Guess what, who can it be? It must be the beam of our company ... ""Shh! Hush! " "Oh, you are a dead tit-for-tat! Not afraid of being heard by others? " Yi Yin and the pie mouth, this group of women is really only a wall with them ... No, precisely, only a board between himself to completely ignore. After the chaotic boos, the voice of "accident" was completely suppressed, and the original topic initiator was able to continue her gossip topic.

"Yes, that's the one. I met her at school!" There is no suspense at all, and a piece is similar to "Really?" "Is it a lie?" The voice began to break out. This effect obviously satisfied the topic initiator, and she continued to throw out the dream: "I didn't just meet' that'. Oh, I also ran into her with a little boy!" "Little boy?" Women immersed in gossip suddenly silence at the same time.

"Well... I heard that 'that person' is having a hot affair with several big clients. Could it be that we all guessed wrong, and 'that person' is actually into... this kind of thing?" "That's too naive..." The topic suddenly turned in a strange direction, and the girl who first brought up the topic had to jump out to "maintain order", shouting repeatedly: "Oh my God! What are you thinking? Besides, my cousin's school is a combined elementary, middle and high school! The guy I ran into with 'that person' was a little boy! A little boy! He looked... no more than ten years old?" "Oh oh." "Is that so..." The sounds of long exhalations and chest puffs came one after another from the other side of the partition, but Yi Yin's heart was lifted up.

A boy about ten years old?

He immediately thought of a rumor about Sister Liang that had been circulating in the company for a long time.

And then, not only Yi Yin on this side of the partition, but also those women who were fascinated by the authorities on that side of the partition came back one by one. "Wait a minute, little boy?" "It can't be ..." "God, is that rumor true?" One after another, the female voices returned to silence after expressing their sighs. Yi Yin, who gave ear to the side of the partition, also held her breath. Like those women who stopped talking, he was waiting for a result and an answer.

The only insider and whistleblower finally revealed the final result. "I tell you, those rumors are true!" . The girl who started the topic lowered her voice and announced mysteriously. However, some women present expressed doubts: "Oh, no, what if Liang ...' That' is going to pick up the children of relatives like you?" "Absolutely impossible!" At the beginning, the female voice expressed her denial in a firm tone.

"What about the evidence?" "Evidence? Hum, do you really think I have no evidence? " Instead, the female voice became triumphant. It seems that she didn't show any anger at all because her "authority" was repeatedly challenged. On the contrary, she even felt a little ready to wait, and continued to burst out with a bigger surprise: "I heard it clearly! The little boy kept shouting' that' is two words ... ""Mom! " All the female voices made a sound of admiration or understanding, but those whispers left no trace in Yi Yin's ear.

All he can think about now is the news that he has just learned … or that he has just been convinced. And this is the oldest rumor about Liang Lu in the company. Sister Liang, who is only 35 years old this year, seems to be believed in her twenties, but her marriage has come to an end early. The only thing that can prove that marriage is a child.

And for the existence of this child, Liang Lu never admitted it in public, but at the same time-never denied it. Liang Lu is an absolute business backbone in the company, and her image in the company is always a professional woman who has devoted herself wholeheartedly to her career. The fact that she is single is a well-known fact in the company, which is also the fundamental reason why she is always surrounded by all kinds of rumors about her suitors. But the fact that Liang Lu has children-has always existed only in the company's private gossip and gossip.

If the content of this gossip meeting is only so, it is still not enough to make Yi Yin so shaken. What really upset him was another incident that was more widely known within the company, but subtly related to the content of this article. As if to let Yi Yin's questions be completely answered ... or to let Yi Yin completely give up, the gossip meeting on the other side of the partition quietly untied the curtain of the second scene.

"I said, do you remember that?" This time, it was a voice that Yi Yin was very familiar with, and he couldn't be unfamiliar with it, because this shrill voice, which sounded a little harsh in his ears no matter how it was heard, belonged to Xiao Liu, who had just caught him a minute late, and it was a great criticism of him.

Xiao Liu's tone was very anxious. She couldn't wait for the women around her to pick up the thread she had thrown out, and she couldn't wait to continue: "Do you remember what the man said?" Then, without waiting for others to reply, she gave her own answer, saying: "He said: He felt that his situation was the most suitable for 'that person', whether in terms of personal, career, or family... The man specifically emphasized the last point!" "Yes," finally a woman caught up with Xiao Liu's rhythm, "At that time, we were still thinking that even if 'that person' was almost 40, it was still a first marriage, right? How could he, a second marriage with two burdens, have the nerve to bring all this up?" "Thinking about it now, he was referring to something!" The women were talking about an incident that happened last week that shocked the entire company. And Yi Yin was also present at this incident related to Liang Lu, and he was even one of the closest witnesses.

It was a ... proposal.

And the women on the other side of the partition are obviously rekindled by this new topic. "Rightness, you who know' the' who is the customer to see today? Is that the one? " "No way!" "I ask, I ask, I and Wang at the front desk are best friends, I ask her ..." After that, Yi Yin was completely deaf. Because he knows the result.

When he met Liang Lu at the door, he already knew Liang Lu's vague customer who had to be received by her ... because the customer was standing in the same elevator with him and went up to the 12th floor. In other words, the official who made Yi Yin late by one point.

Yi Yin doesn't know the name of the man, but he clearly remembers the smile that has been hanging on the man's face … and the completely different smile on his face. He also clearly remembers the same smile that Liang Jie would have when facing the man. And the official smile from Liang Lu made Yi Yin toss and turn for several nights. It's the first time that he felt unavoidable because Liang Jie's smile appeared in his dream, because ... In his dream, Liang Jie with that "happy" smile on her face was wearing a white dress. That smile means that Liang Jie, who has always been elusive, has never belonged to him but does not belong to any man-is about to be marked as belonging only to a man.
