awkward like a child(1/2)
What? Admission?
Mint thought she heard it wrong, but when she raised her eyes and saw the malicious and provocative light in someone's eyes, she knew that he was serious!
He really, really hates her!
Otherwise, how could a principled person like him not distinguish between public and private affairs?
See, this is the reason why she doesn't want to see him. She doesn't want to have any interaction with him now, because it will not only cause trouble to her, but also to him!
Looking at his outstretched right hand, she couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly, what is this? A courtesy first and then a soldier?
"Guan Shouheng, do you know what you are doing now?"
"Of course. Didn't you just say that for the sake of our relationship as a couple, I would give you a chance? I think what you said is very reasonable. A couple's love lasts for a night, not to mention that we have been together for so long? So I decided
I hire you, and you will work under me in the next few months!" He deliberately emphasized the word "under", which foreshadowed that her life in the future would not be easy.
She glared at him angrily and said seriously, "Guan Shouheng, you are 27 years old this year! Not 17, let alone 7!"
He knew clearly what she meant, that what he did was childish, but he pretended not to understand and mocked coldly, "As expected of your ex-wife, she remembers my age so clearly!"
"Guan Shouheng! I beg you, please be more mature, okay?" She couldn't help raising her tone.
"Am I immature?" He still looked innocent and his tone was calm.
She looked at his expression that was clearly intentional, and anger arose in her heart, "Guan Shouheng, you are as awkward as a child now!"
"Child?" He suddenly stared at her with evil eyes, "Why do you say that? Have you ever given birth to a child? Do you know what a child is like?"
"..." She felt guilty all of a sudden. She just had it before and she knew it! But she couldn't say it.
"Have you nothing to say?" he asked.
She pursed her lips and tried her best to hold back the emotions in her heart. It seemed that he didn't want to let her go no matter what, so she had to face it calmly, otherwise she would be doomed if he knew the truth.
"Guan Shouheng, why are you like this? Our marriage did end in failure, but after all, we had a happy time before, so it is still of some value, right? And times have changed, ten years have passed, time can heal everything, right?
Even if we can't be friends, at least we can't be enemies, can't we?"
He snorted coldly, "Of course, that's why I want to give you a job opportunity. Just treat it as helping a friend. What's wrong with that?"
Is this also called helping?
She gritted her teeth and couldn't help but want to roar, but she suddenly realized that she seemed to have fallen into his trap.
Did he deliberately provoke her anger? Did he deliberately want to see her lose control in front of him?
She "aborted" her child after divorce, and was so cold and ruthless, so now he wants to take revenge on her and torture her. He doesn't want her to feel better or feel at ease.
It turns out that he is not the only one who is awkward. She is also very childish. He is so irritating to her after a few words. It turns out that she still cares about him so much. He calms her heart for ten years with just a few words. Once again
The undercurrent is raging.
However, she no longer cares, and has no reason to care.
Ten years ago, he was humble and she was superior. They had constant conflicts and she felt uncomfortable;
Ten years later, she was humble and he was superior. They still quarreled and she was helpless.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to work with you, so I'm leaving." She turned to leave.
"You don't want to write your doctoral thesis?" He stopped her again.
"This is my business, I am free to use discretion." There is no doctorate or thesis at all!
His face suddenly darkened, he narrowed his eyes and glared at her, "Mint! You are not 17 years old anymore, so I remind you to do things with a beginning and an end, and don't act willfully!"
He had to admit that she had chosen this topic very well. Opportunities like the Expo were rare and it was a pity to miss them.
Willful?
These four words stirred up the overwhelming anger in Mint's heart.
If she could, she really wanted to do whatever she wanted! If she had acted willfully back then, she wouldn't have had to divorce him, just let them be in trouble together and become a pair of fateful mandarin ducks!
"Guan Shouheng, whether I am willful or reckless is my own business, and you don't need to worry about it!"
"I'm in charge!" He also raised his voice, "You have to do this job even if you don't do it! To tell you the truth, the president of the University of Toronto has invited me to give lectures in Canada many times. I just want to give him
Make a phone call and tell him that I am very interested in your topic. Tell him, will you do this paper or not?"
"You..." Mint was so angry that she almost vomited blood, why? Why did God do this to her? Why did he go against her everywhere! He actually knew the principal of Toronto? Then just one phone call from him, wouldn't she have been exposed?
Guan Shouheng hummed, stretched out his hand to open the office door, and said provocatively, "I will do what I say! If you still want to graduate with a Ph.D., just go ahead!"
Mint was so angry that he lost all his grace and kicked the door shut, "Guan Shouheng, I guess you have the guts! Okay, I'll stay!"
He showed a victorious smile and reached out to her again, "Happy cooperation!"
Happy you! It was the first time in her life that she cursed unladylikely, but she cursed secretly in her heart.
She shook his hand back, very hard.
Guan Shouheng, just wait for me, I won’t do what you want! Want to torture me? It’s not that easy!
The two of them were "holding" hands, looking into each other's eyes, and there were strange sparks in the air. No one was willing to retreat, and no one was willing to admit defeat.
But there is a natural difference in strength between men and women, so how can she be his opponent?
But it was impossible for her to beg for mercy, so she simply stretched out her hand again and used her two hands to fight with one of his hands.
She is a woman anyway, two to one, no shame!
Guan Shouheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and laughed angrily. This woman really hasn't changed at all, she is still so strong, so strong that it is disgusting!
Hold it, keep holding it, hold it to death!
It wasn't until they were about to pinch each other's fingers off that they slowly, slowly let go.
Mint felt that her hands were numb, but she endured it. She pressed the paper with her left hand and the pen with her right hand. After signing the contract, she left proudly.
Guan Shouheng's right hand was also trembling slightly, but he still gently brushed the lower right corner of the document, where the graceful but unassuming signature was written, "Mint, we'll see!"
***
In this way, Mint began to work under Guan Shouheng, but because his rank was too high, and she was just a small employee, they didn't have much interaction with each other on weekdays, and they didn't even meet every day, but whenever there was a chance, he
He tried his best to find trouble.
One day, she had just finished translating a copy and submitted it after checking that it was correct. However, within half an hour, he sent someone to call her.
"Miss Bo, Mr. Guan asked you to go see him." His assistant came to inform her.
She secretly gritted her teeth, what did he want?
Get up and walk to his office.
Damn it! His office is on the 28th floor and there is no elevator!
Recently, the interior of the exhibition center is being renovated. The organizing committee has only reserved one floor in the non-main building for small staff like her to use for daily work. But Guan Shouheng is the general person in charge of the language center of this expo, and his affairs are very special.
There are many people who need to meet, so for convenience, his office is located in the main building, and it is on the 28th floor!
Originally, there was nothing on the 28th floor, just take the elevator, but due to recent renovations, the organizing committee considered safety issues and stipulated that VIPs who were not contacted by him were not allowed to enter and exit without a certificate. Of course she was not a VIP, and of course she did not have a certificate.
, so you can’t take the elevator, you can only climb the stairs!
"Ms. Bo, Mr. Guan said that in ten minutes he will go to the sea view restaurant on the top floor for lunch. Please hurry up." The dog-leg assistant said very hatefully.
Mint secretly clenched his fist and asked her to climb to the 28th floor in ten minutes? It would be faster to kill her!
However, she felt that he would not let her die so easily now. His pleasure was to make her life worse than death!
And she won't let him be proud!
climb!
1st floor, 2nd floor, 3rd floor, 4th floor... 26th floor, 26th floor, 27th floor, 28th floor...
finally reached!
Just looking at my watch, it was one minute late, one minute late!
He didn't even wait a minute!
While Mint was panting and breathing heavily, he wanted to grit his teeth again, Guan Shouheng, you bastard!
She had no choice but to go to the sea view restaurant on the top floor to find him.
It has been ten years. She has not set foot here for ten years. The sea view restaurant is as luxurious as ever, or even better than before.
Just the moment she walked in, her heart shrank subconsciously.
Things are different and people are different.
Mint shook his head and told himself not to be too melancholy, there was still a tough battle to be fought!
"Miss, Mr. Guan is already waiting for you over there." The waiter informed her politely.
She turned around and looked over and saw someone sitting leisurely at the dining table eating.
Damn it, he was waiting for her to throw herself into a trap!
She took a deep breath and walked over hard, but the soft high-end carpet silenced her angry footsteps.
To be continued...
