Chapter 42 Invitation(1/2)
After returning home, Peng Hui looked helplessly at the little guy playing with his mobile phone in front of him, feeling a headache.
Cheng Cheng.
Peng Jie's son.
Peng Hui's nephew.
Although she is only three years old this year, she has become somewhat like a little girl under Peng Jie's doting.
So much so that this little guy has learned such a professional skill as being miserable.
As soon as he makes a mistake and is beaten by his parents, the child will start crying.
Sometimes it even becomes difficult to breathe.
However, only Peng Hui can see through the essence.
This naughty kid is such an actor!
If you stop fighting, you will stop crying immediately.
As soon as you touch him, he starts to cry.
Sometimes it makes me laugh or cry completely.
Peng Jie works in insurance.
Of course, she works as a copywriter.
That is the office.
When you are busy, you are really busy; when you are free, you are really free.
It’s summer now, which is also one of the busiest seasons of the year for insurance.
So naturally there are only two choices.
One is to bring Cheng Cheng to the company.
Not saying that people talk too much, I just want to say that if someone catches a cold or fever and infects it to a child, it will be more of a loss than a gain.
The other one is looking for someone to take care of him.
In the past, this candidate was either the brother-in-law's sister, Peng Jie herself or her brother-in-law.
But now, the eldest aunt has also gone abroad, and Peng Jie is busy with work and has no intention of taking care of anyone else, so she can only ask Peng Hui.
Although he was unwilling to be with the naughty child, Peng Hui could only bite the bullet and take care of Cheng Cheng.
It was stumbling, but fortunately Peng Jie didn't trust her brother, so she came home from get off work early every day.
Except for necessary overtime work, you will never waste your time in the company. This is the slogan of the entire insurance company.
This is also the reason why Peng Jie chose this job.
After all, before she is an employee, she is a mother first and a wife second.
Everything is of course family-oriented.
Of course, in Peng Hui's view, this is purely because Peng Jie is lazy.
Although he doesn't like Cheng Cheng very much, he is still his nephew after all.
For more than a week after that, Peng Hui picked up and dropped off Cheng Cheng every day, and he became familiar with the kindergarten.
However, having to battle wits and courage with naughty children every day is really frustrating and funny.
Fortunately, this kind of days that seemed like years came to an end quietly as Peng Jie finished her work.
After staying at home for a few more days, Peng Hui decided to go to Magic City.
In fact, the reason is very simple, because these days, he has felt an inexplicable loneliness.
It's ridiculous to say that he didn't feel this lonely when he was in the magic city or even in a foreign country.
But when he returned to his house, he felt inexplicably lonely.
In fact, if you think about it, it's not difficult to understand.
Although he is alone everywhere, at home, he wants to relax more and reunite with his relatives.
But Peng Jie, who has Cheng Cheng, obviously cannot care as much about everything about Peng Hui as before.
What follows is that it is clearly close at hand, but seems to be far away in the world.
Although after her parents passed away one after another, Peng Jie took great care of Peng Hui.
But the deep feeling of loneliness still made it difficult for Peng Hui to adapt.
With a sigh in his heart, Peng Hui finally chose to leave.
Maybe this is indeed my own house, but...
This is not his home.
Inexplicably, Peng Hui thought of the strange woman he met that night.
Just as I was thinking about it, my phone suddenly started ringing like crazy.
Peng Hui picked up the phone and looked at it a little strangely.
It turns out to be Xiaoju!
Thinking of Xiaoju's exquisite and beautiful face, Peng Hui perked up and said hello with a smile.
"Xiaoju?"
"Is this Mr. Peng Huipeng? I am her agent, you can call me Sister Liu." A familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded on the phone.
Peng Hui was stunned for a moment, and then his attitude changed.
"Is this Sister Liu? Hello, what can I do for you?" Peng Hui asked in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
"It's like this. It's almost the end of July, and it's time for the annual general selection. This year I personally hope that you can appear at the general selection. I don't know if you have the reason. Let me tell you in advance that this year is Xiaoju's last...
She participates in the general election one year, and she will graduate from the team next year."
Sister Liu's words made Peng Hui swallow the rejection that was on his lips.
Is this the last year?
That is obviously very important to Xiaoju.
but--
This kind of thing was actually notified by the agent himself. Does that mean something else?
Naturally, Peng Hui guessed the agent's purpose.
In fact, to put it bluntly, I still want to cut off the vague feelings between the two young people.
Xiaoju is about to graduate now, and her future is definitely bright!
As the first sister of the company, Xiaoju will be active as an independent artist in the future, so she must have enough resources.
But on the other hand, what about Peng Hui?
As far as Sister Liu knows, Peng Hui has not signed a contract yet and he is still a free agent.
In this circle, there are too many handsome men and beautiful women.
A person with high ambitions and low abilities will never be able to become popular.
Even if Peng Hui has good acting skills and good looks, so what?
Are there not many celebrities who have been buried in this circle?
and……
Peng Hui is so handsome, who knows what his personal life is like?
If it goes terribly wrong, wouldn't it mean to push Xiaoju into the fire pit?
As a manager who has been following Xiao Ju since she debuted, he has already treated Xiao Ju as his own daughter!
In this case, how could Xiao Ju be harmed?
So the best way is...
Let Peng Hui realize the gap with Xiao Ju and take the initiative to distance himself from Xiao Ju.
Or let Xiaoju see Peng Hui's true face and come out completely.
Without that feeling, it will naturally become safer.
It can be said to be well-intentioned.
But this is only for Xiaoju.
Apparently he was a little unfriendly towards Peng Hui.
However, this is human nature, and Peng Hui did not show any dissatisfaction.
Indeed, the current self does not seem to have any achievements worthy of success, and it is indeed not suitable for Xiaoju, who has millions of fans on Weibo.
