A mont later, Mi Cai escorted to Robben's place, where I would be settling down in this small ten-square-ter loft for the day.
I was still dizzy and headed straight for the bed, falling into a deep sleep.
Through my half-open eyes, I saw Mi Cai bustling around. She found an electric kettle, boiled so water, and then went downstairs. A mont later, she returned with milk powder and honey, and made a cup of honey milk.
"Don't sleep yet, drink the milk first."
I didn't want to move at all, and mumbled, "Just leave it there, I'll drink it later."
"It'll be cold later."
I struggled to sit up from the bed, and Mi Cai handed the milk, sitting across from and watching .
The freshly made milk was very hot, and I drank it slowly. Mi Cai urged , "Hurry up and drink, I'll clean up and leave when you're done."
"There's nothing to clean up. If you're in a hurry, just go."
"I'll wash the cup and pour you another cup of hot water in case you get thirsty," Mi Cai said.
"Why are you being so nice to ?" I said as I took a big gulp of milk, but it was so hot that I couldn't swallow it.
Mi Cai asked in surprise, "Just because I made you a cup of milk, you think I'm being very nice to you?"
Yes! Mi Cai just made a cup of milk with a simple gesture, so why did I feel she was being so nice to ?
After a long ti, I realized that I had been lonely for too long, and there hadn't been a woman by my side for a long ti. No matter how much I drank, I would only vomit by myself, and then fall asleep when I couldn't vomit anymore. There was never a woman who would make a cup of milk.
Finally, I finished the cup of milk. Mi Cai washed the cup and poured another cup of boiled water. This ti, she didn't urge to drink it. She left the cup on the table by the bed and said, "Leave this cup here, drink it when you're thirsty."
"Okay."
Mi Cai picked up her handbag, ready to leave, and then seed to rember sothing and asked , "Do you rember what you need to do tomorrow?"
"Get up on ti for work," I answered without thinking.
Mi Cai frowned, "That's not it."
"Then what is it?"
"You think about it yourself, I'm leaving now." Mi Cai said as she walked out of the room, closing the door behind her. She disappeared from my sight in an instant, leaving with a question.
I lit a cigarette and sat on the bed, thinking for a long ti about what I needed to do tomorrow besides going to work. I finally extinguished the cigarette, covered myself with the blanket, and fell asleep again. Since what Mi Cai was talking about was sothing for tomorrow, I would think about it tomorrow...
...
The next day, when I woke up, Robben was still asleep. His job required him to live a nocturnal life, and it seed that he didn't co back until the early hours of the morning yesterday.
After a simple wash, I found a bowl of instant noodles in a box in the corner, made it for breakfast, and then hurriedly went downstairs to wait for the bus to the company.
Robben's place was quite remote, and the bus was swaying on the road. So, during this hour on the road, I kept thinking about what Mi Cai had reminded of when she left yesterday.
I was more awake in the morning and rembered that Mi Cai had helped put on a show last night. Of course, she wouldn't help for no reason. There must be so exchange condition between us. Following this line of thought, it suddenly dawned on that I had to buy insecticide powder for her today and spread it in the bathroom.
I was afraid that I would forget, so I set a reminder on my phone. Only then did I feel safe.
When I arrived at the company, before I had ti to make myself a cup of tea, I was summoned by our planning departnt manager, Chen Jingming.
I went to Chen Jingming's office, and he seed to be in a good mood, greeting to sit down.
"Manager, you summoned early in the morning, did I ss up sothing again?" I asked subconsciously. In the two years I've been working, Chen Jingming usually called in to criticize .
Chen Jingming smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, this ti I have an important task for you."
"What task?"
"This ti GUCCI is setting up a counter in our departnt store, which officially elevates us to the ranks of top-tier departnt stores. The company wants to take this opportunity to launch a comprehensive marketing campaign, aiming for a grand scale to attract more international first-line brands to cooperate with our departnt store."
"Manager, do you an that I'm responsible for planning this event?" I asked in shock.
Chen Jingming nodded and said seriously, "Yes, this is a rare opportunity for you. You know, the competition in the traditional retail industry is fierce, and it has been strongly impacted by online shopping in recent years. The survival environnt is very harsh. Going high-end and brand-oriented is the fundantal way for our departnt store to survive in this industry. We must attract as many international first-line brands as possible to operate in our store and strengthen the brand advantage of our departnt store. So, this event is a manifestation of our company's core values. The decision-making level above attaches great importance to it, and I hope you can take on this important task."
"Manager, you know exactly how much I weigh. It's better to leave such a big event to Circle."
"Zhao Yang, opportunities don't co often. It's a foregone conclusion that Circle will be the deputy manager of the planning departnt because of his many contributions to the company and the departnt. No one has anything to say about that. But what about you, Zhao Yang? If I want to promote you to be the team leader of the planning and copywriting team, I'm afraid others will have sothing to say... Do you understand what I an?"
Of course, I understood what Chen Jingming ant. He wanted to use this event as a legitimate reason to promote to the team leader of the planning and copywriting team. This was indeed a rare opportunity for .
After a long silence, I finally asked, "When will we start preparing for this event?""The preparations for GUCCI's entry into our departnt store began as soon as the contract was signed. Oh, and GUCCI is planning to shoot the opening promotional poster on the 15th of this month. Please confirm with the model again to see if she is available. This is sothing that absolutely, absolutely cannot go wrong, understand?" Chen Jingming's expression beca increasingly serious as he spoke.
"Understood, I'll call her right away to confirm."
Chen Jingming nodded, saying, "Make good use of this opportunity, it's not sothing everyone is fortunate enough to encounter."
"Thank you for the opportunity, Manager." I said sincerely.
After leaving Chen Jingming's office, I imdiately called Le Yao to inform her of the date for the promotional poster shoot. Once she confird that there were no issues, a weight was lifted off my heart. I really should do sothing for my own life, so I must seize this opportunity!
This was the first ti in over two years that I had a desire to strive for progress, hoping for a significant change in my life.
......
After a busy day, I ca to my senses and realized it was already past seven o'clock. The various lights on the street began to illuminate the city's night, making it dazzlingly bright.
Sitting on the swaying bus, all I could think about was the upcoming event planning. Chen Jingming was right, this opportunity was a rare one for , and I couldn't afford to be careless.
After a while, the bus was still swaying on the road. I took out my phone from my pocket to check the ti, only to find that it had automatically shut down due to a lack of power.
I looked up at the electronic clock on the bus, it was already half past eight in the evening.
Half past eight! I suddenly rembered that I had to buy insecticide powder for Mi Cai after work today, to help her deal with those cockroaches she hated!
I rember setting a reminder on my phone this morning, fearing that I would forget. But my phone just happened to run out of power. This coincidence was enough to ruin my reputation and make Mi Cai completely disgusted with .
