Chapter 4 Chapter Four

Chapter 23: Chapter Four (1) The next night, Hong Jun was sitting alone in the bar in the lobby of the Kerry Center Hotel, feeling that his mood and the name of the bar, "Xuan Cool", could not match anyway. One word to describe: "hanging", "bitter". The whole day was unusually calm, as if nothing had changed, but Hong Jun felt as if everything had changed.Sitting around doing nothing, he felt that the day was extremely long, and yesterday was a long day, that was because too many things happened yesterday, although nothing seemed to happen today, it made him feel much longer, because Hong Jun knew that something must have happened. It will come, but I don't know when it will come, Hong Jun stayed up until night like this.

Peter did not come to the company during the day, and he stayed alone in the hotel room.But Hong Jun believed that Pete must be very busy. He must have discussed with the leaders of the San Francisco headquarters last night, and he must be busy with the people in the Asia-Pacific region in Singapore during the day to take care of specific matters.When he was about to get off work, Pete called and asked Hong Jun to meet at the bar at night and "have a drink".In the past, when Pete came to Beijing to live in this hotel, they often talked about things in the VIP lounge upstairs.This time I made a special appointment at the bar, and Hong Jun knew that Pete must want to relax the atmosphere. It seems that the topic of the meeting must be serious. Thinking of this, Hong Jun took a deep breath, then exhaled, and said to himself: "bring it on."

Hong Jun was sitting on a soft chair, facing the entrance of the bar, and looking out from the entrance was the lobby.Because it was still early, there were not many people in the bar, and the Filipino band hadn't started performing yet.Hong Jun picked up the exquisite matchbox provided by the hotel from the table and fiddled with it.He was very familiar with this hotel. Although he was familiar with all the major luxury hotels in Beijing, he seemed to be most impressed by the Kerry Center.How many years has it been in business?Hong Jun thought back in his mind, opened in 1999?Hong Jun was not sure.But what Hong Jun can confirm is that the restaurant has been surrounded by construction sites since its opening.The north, west, and south sides are all construction sites. The road in front of the hotel is often covered with muck scattered by heavy trucks. When there is strong wind in winter and spring, the dust blown from the construction site in the northwest seems to be able to wear through. Go through the two doors of the hotel into the lobby.Some people say that the location of this hotel is excellent, but Hong Jun felt that its location was a flaw for a long time, with traffic jams and construction sites all around.What Hong Jun has been thinking about is what kind of coup Kerry Center has, which can bring so many meetings and various business activities, and can attract so many dignitaries to stay here when they come to Beijing.In fact, the reason Hong Jun was so impressed with the Kerry Center Hotel was because Hong Jun felt that their sales were the best among luxury hotels in Beijing. "When you find an opportunity, you must have a good chat with their conference salesperson." Hong Jun murmured in his heart.Suddenly, he couldn't help laughing wryly, yes, what time is it now, and he still has the mind to think about other people's business experience, and also wants to discuss with them, he is really dedicated.

Hong Jun saw a familiar figure walking towards the bar through the lobby with a familiar gesture.Pete walked lightly, dressed in casual clothes, holding a mobile phone in his left hand, and a hotel room card in his right hand, flipping back and forth between his fingers, like playing with a poker card.Pete also saw Hong Jun, a smile immediately appeared on his face, he raised his hand, and walked over.Hong Jun stood up and waited for Pete to walk in front of him. He held out his hand and greeted him. Both of them sat down, and four single soft chairs surrounded a small round table. In the past, Hong Jun and Pete sat next to each other, but today Pete naturally sat on the chair opposite Hong Jun.Pete raised Erlang's legs first, and Hong Jun then raised Erlang's legs to make himself as comfortable as possible.Pete saw a glass of drink in front of Hong Jun, which didn't look like wine, so he asked, "What did you order?"

Hong Jun replied: "Tonic water." Pete immediately made a slightly exaggerated expression of surprise and surprise, and asked, "Why don't you have some wine?" Hong Jun smiled and said, "Tonic water is very good, you can order it as you like." Pete smiled too, shaking his head.At this time the waiter had already come over, a tall and thin young man, Pete said to him: "A cup of cappuccino, don't bring that kind of biscuit." The waiter agreed and walked away. Both Pete and Hong Jun smiled and looked at each other for a few seconds. Pete spoke first: "How is it? Are you all right?"

It was difficult for Hong Jun to answer such general and casual questions.In the past, Hong Jun would always reply with a smile that it couldn't be better, showing confidence in the joke, and Pete would also laugh haha.But now, Hong Jun's feeling couldn't be worse, but of course he couldn't answer like that.Hong Jun paused, and could only say, "Fortunately, it's the same as usual." Pete nodded, understanding, and said, "It's been another long day, and I'm sure it's been the same for you and me." Hong Jun also nodded, agreeing, but didn't say anything.At this moment, the waiter brought over a cup of coffee and put it in front of Pete. Pete said thank you and squeezed the small handle of the coffee cup, but he didn't pick it up to drink, but stared at the foam pattern on the coffee in a daze.After a while, Pete raised his head again, looked at Hong Jun and said, "It's very difficult now, you and I are very difficult, we all know it well."

Hong Jun nodded again, looked into Pete's eyes, and heard him continue: "Hezhi is a big project, a very important project, we always thought we could get this project, the headquarters knows this project very well, they have been waiting for it Good news for us. Now it seems that we have definitely lost this project. As for why and how, there must be many details that we don't know, or at least I don't know, but I don't want to be on it anymore It took time. The Hazy project is lost, we don't talk about it anymore, we have to think about the future." Hong Jun listened attentively, without interrupting, he heard what Pete really meant.What Pete said was no longer talking about the intellectual project, but thinking about the future, does not mean turning the page so easily.What he meant was precisely for the future, the Hezhi project must be completely concluded first.What he doesn't care about is how the project was lost, what he cares about is how to settle the account for the lost project.

Chapter 24: Chapter Four (2) Pete waited for Hong Jun, and seeing that Hong Jun had no intention of speaking, he went on to say: "The Hezhi project has been lost. Whether ICE China's performance indicators for this year can be completed is a big question mark. Can ICE Asia Pacific's performance indicators for this year Completion is also a problem. But more importantly, the reputation you and I have built up at headquarters has been greatly affected. What we have lost is not just a project, but our credibility. We have said to headquarters that the project No problem, it turned out that our project has no chance, will the headquarters believe what we say in the future? What we have to do now is to let the headquarters see that we have found the problem and will solve it soon. Only in this way can we re-establish our credibility." Speaking of this, Pete stopped, took a sip of coffee, and thought about it.

Hong Jun suddenly had a feeling that he couldn't help but want to laugh. This was a very heavy topic, and it was related to his future and life, but he really felt that there was something particularly funny about it.What's wrong?Hong Jun understood. It turned out that the several "we" mentioned by Pete just now were actually referring to "I". It was only because of being in front of Hong Jun that he had to say "we", which seemed to include Hong Jun.Hong Jun thought that Chinese people used to say "I" very rarely, but "we". In fact, they only said "I" implicitly. Unexpectedly, the British also learned it and used it proficiently.

Pete seemed to be waiting for Hong Jun to speak again, but Hong Jun still just looked at Pete intently, without any intention of speaking, so Pete had no choice but to speak more clearly: "So, what is the problem? We You have to identify the problem first, and then discuss how to solve it.” Hong Jun knew that this moment had finally come. He cleared his throat, moved his body to make himself sit upright, and was about to speak when he suddenly realized why he was acting like a hero who went to the execution ground to die generously. He couldn't help laughing once again, but he controlled it again, without revealing anything, but said a very simple sentence very calmly but unquestionably: "I am fully responsible for losing the Hezhi project."

Pete was obviously a little surprised. He froze for a moment, and looked at Hong Jun as if he were a stranger. He must have regretted it. If he had known this, why did he go around in such a big circle just now to lay the groundwork?Peter immediately returned to normal, with a smile on his face, he said to Hong Jun gently: "I completely understand your feelings, you have put in a lot of effort on this project, and now you have lost, you must feel unacceptable and blame yourself too much , but it's not fair to you, because you're not the one directly responsible for the project after all." Hong Jun knew who Pete was referring to, and he was referring to Xiao Tan.As the sales manager directly in charge of the Hezhi project, Xiao Tan should indeed be responsible for the lost project.But Hong Jun also knows that Xiao Tan alone is not qualified to be the "problem" that Pete is looking for, nor is it qualified to be "solved" by Pete himself.Obviously, throwing Xiao Tan out will not improve Hong Jun's situation, so why do he still want to be that kind of "wicked person"?Hong Jun made up his mind. Hong Jun still said in a very calm tone: "David is in sales, of course he is responsible for the loss of the project. But for a project as big as Hezhi, he was not in charge of it alone from the beginning to the end. In fact, I was directly in charge of the Hezhi project. The entire sales process, especially those critical stages, David is just my assistant." Pete didn't want to persuade Hong Jun, but tentatively said: "So, you haven't considered letting David leave the company?" "No. Although we lost Hezhi, there are still four months before the end of the financial year. David still has a chance to meet his performance quota. He is a good sales manager and has never violated the company's rules. We He should be given a chance. If he doesn’t fulfill his quota by the end of the year, we don’t have to renew his contract. But I think if we let him leave now,” Hong Jun paused, and added as calmly as possible, “That would be unfair.” Peter's face was expressionless, the smile that had been on his face just now disappeared, and he said coldly: "Jim, the Hezhi project is not a simple project, and the consequences of losing it are obviously very serious. We must This is responsible." With a smile on his face, Hong Jun repeated what he said just now in the same tone: "I am fully responsible for losing the Hezhi project." Pete then asked, "You mean, you're going to resign?" Hong Jun smiled and shook his head, Pete was taken aback immediately, Hong Jun didn't wait for him to ask, he said: "I don't resign, you can terminate my contract, or you can fire me." After speaking, he looked at Pete intently expression. Chapter 25: Chapter Four (3) Pete stopped there with his mouth slightly open, but his mind must be spinning rapidly.He moved a bit, put down his crossed Erlang legs, leaned forward, and said to Hong Jun in a very sincere tone: "No, this is not a good idea, I won't do it." When Pete was talking, Hong Jun also put Erlang's legs down, sat up a little more, and listened to Pete's continuation. "Jim, I know you're the man in charge, but we've had so much bad luck this time around that you and I have to make a tough decision, but no matter what, I'm not going to fire you. My idea is that you propose Resign, and then I accept your resignation." After Pete finished speaking, he found that Hong Jun didn't respond, so he made his meaning clearer, "The reason for your resignation can be said to be the consideration of personal career development, you have to try A new opportunity, neither you nor the company will lose face, and you can also break up gently, isn’t it great? By the way, the company will also give you three months’ salary. You can understand it as compensation for you, and I can understand it as Reward for your contribution." To be honest, the conditions offered by Pete cannot be said to be unattractive, especially for Hong Jun now, but Hong Jun knows very well that he must persevere, although as a defeated general and a person who is about to be kicked out, he has no There is no choice, but he still has to stick to the decision he has made. Hong Jun took a deep breath and said unhurriedly: "Peter, it is precisely because of the consideration of my next career opportunity that I decided that I would rather be fired than resign. If I resign, I will sign a contract with the company. The non-compete clause in the contract will then go into effect and I won't be able to join a company that competes with ICE, at least not for a while, especially if ICE compensates me with salary. However, I don't want to leave the industry to start all over again. Start from zero. So, I would rather not have any compensation from ICE, I would rather ICE fire me, and I would rather not have any restrictions on finding my next job." Pete seemed a little nervous, he had already started to think about things going further in the future, he moved closer to the table, and said to Hong Jun: "Jim, even if ICE terminates your contract with you, you should not join ICE's competitors .” Hong Jun smiled and said, "Peter, you fired me. Of course I can go to work in any company, and of course I can go to your competitor. Of course, I will not violate the confidentiality agreement I signed with the company." Pete frowned, and put his hand to his mouth, Hong Jun knew that this was his habitual action when he was thinking nervously.Just now the tall and thin waiter came over and asked Pete if he wanted some more coffee, Pete waved his hand impatiently.When Hong Jun found out that Pete, who was always gentle and gentle, had this kind of impatience, he still smiled and waited for Pete. Pete seemed to have made up his mind, the expression on his face softened a lot, and he showed a smile, and said: "Jim, ICE and I appreciate you very much, we have all seen your contribution to ICE, in fact , we don’t want to lose you. It’s just that now it’s clear that you are no longer suitable to lead ICE China. Do you think there is any suitable position in ICE China, or in Singapore, and you can do it for a while, and I can guarantee that you will Lift you up soon." After hearing this, Hong Jun laughed silently. His smile just now was a put on expression. Now he seems to be really happy. He picked up the glass of tonic water on the table, lifted it up slightly, and did it. He made an inviting gesture of toasting, and then said to Pete on his chest: "Peter, thank you. You and I have always cooperated very well. If I still stay at ICE and don't report directly to you like I am now, I would rather leave. " Disappointment was evident in Pete's eyes. He put his hands on the knees of his legs, as if he was about to stand up, and said: "It seems that there is no other solution, Jim, give me some time , I want to go back to the room to prepare some documents, and then you and I need to sign the documents. You must understand that the sooner we can solve this kind of matter, the better." Seeing Hong Jun smiling and nodding, he stood up and left Now, the steps don't seem to be as brisk as when I came here just now. Hong Jun sat without moving, waiting calmly.He knew that Pete would not come back soon because he had to prepare documents again. Hong Jun believed that the documents he had prepared originally today must include two documents, one for Hong Jun to fire Xiao Tan, and one for Hong Jun to resign himself. Unexpectedly, the resignation was useless at all, and it was Hong Jun who was fired.Hong Jun's joy just now disappeared long ago. He understood that he was not a winner at all. He paid a heavy price, and only hoped that he could get some opportunities in the future. Chapter 26: Chapter Four (4) Hong Jun took out his mobile phone and sent Linda a text message: "We are still talking." Soon, a text message flashed on the screen of his mobile phone. Hong Jun opened it and saw that it was from Linda: "How was the talk?" Hong Jun only wrote two words and sent it out: "It's okay." Linda quickly texted back: "That's good, I'll call you when you get home." After reading the text message, Hong Jun deleted it, then put down his phone, and looked around melancholy. Several people from the Filipino band had already walked to the small performance area, and the female singer and several male musicians were chatting and laughing.Hong Jun knew that Linda didn't understand what his "okay" meant, and she would be disappointed. After about half an hour, Pete came back with a transparent folder with some printed documents in his hand.Hong Jun thought, these documents must have just been printed out in the business center of the Horizon Club upstairs.He himself was a frequent visitor there before, and he once praised the service level of the service girls in the Horizon Club. At that time, he never imagined that one day these service girls would use their excellent services to produce documents to terminate his contract.Thinking of this, Hong Jun couldn't help laughing bitterly again. Pete came over and seeing the smile on Hong Jun's face, he must be surprised how this Hong Jun is still so happy.Pete didn't want to entangle Hong Jun anymore, he spread the two documents on the small round table and asked Hong Jun to have a look.Hong Jun picked up the document and checked it carefully, and then picked up another copy to confirm that the contents of the two documents were exactly the same. Then he took out the Montblanc brand pen from the inside pocket of the suit jacket, and signed himself on the two documents with flying colors. signed in English, and pushed the document to Pete.Pete also signed and handed over one of them. Hong Jun stretched out a hand to take it, and said with a smile, "We don't need to exchange signed pens as a souvenir, do we?" Pete smiled wryly, put a document back in the folder, and stood up.In the past, Hong Jun would have stood up immediately, but he didn't this time, because Pete was no longer his boss, so he continued to sit there, motionless, and he found it very comfortable to sit like this. Pete stood, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked Hong Jun: "Do you know what the three letters in the name of ICE mean?" This time it was Hong Jun's turn to feel a little surprised. He froze for a moment, confirmed that he heard Pete's words correctly, thought for a while, and said bravely, "Isn't it an abbreviation? The first three letters of Intelligence Computing Enterprise (Intelligent Computing Enterprise) ?” Pete shook his head, sighed softly, looked at Hong Jun, and said, "ICE, just a word, 'ice', I had to be like this, cold and heartless like ice. Jim, I'm sorry." Just as Hong Jun walked out of the revolving door of the Kerry Center Hotel and stood under the porch, Xiao Ding, who was waiting not far away, had already seen him. He quickly drove the black Santana 2000 over.Xiao Ding got out of the car and came over to open the door for Hong Jun, saying: "Boss, it's early this morning, I thought I'd have to drink late again." Hong Jun closed the car door that Xiao Ding had opened, looked at Xiao Ding's puzzled look, and said, "You go back first, I'll take a stroll forward." Xiao Ding felt very strange: "Then how do you go home later?" Hong Jun said casually, "Take a taxi, it's very convenient." After speaking, he waved to Xiaoding and walked down the street.But he stopped immediately, turned back, and said to Xiao Ding who had just got into the car: "I almost forgot. You will pick up Pete here at 8:40 tomorrow morning, and then take him to the company." After speaking, he turned around gone. Xiao Ding asked loudly from behind: "What about you? How do you get to the company?" Hong Jun didn't look back, waved his hand, and shouted: "Leave me alone." Not long after Hong Jun walked out, he felt a little regretful. This kind of stroll seemed far from as pleasant as he imagined.In Beijing in August, the night is not much cooler than the daytime, and the suit jacket is definitely unwearable. Hong Jun hooked the collar of the suit with his fingers, put it on his shoulders, and threw the suit on his back.After walking a few steps, he still felt too hot, so he threw the suit to the front again, unbuttoned the sleeves of the shirt with both hands, folded the sleeves neatly to the elbow, and put the suit on the back , I feel a little more comfortable.There is no wind, and only when there is a car driving past, the air will be stirred up, and the exhaust and dust will be brought over.Hong Jun began to feel a little irritable, stopped, looked around the road, and decided to take a taxi home. As soon as he searched the motorway, a black Santana 2000 drove up from behind and stopped beside Hong Jun. Said: "Boss, come up, let me see you off, it's too hot outside." Chapter 27: Chapter Four (5) Hong Jun smiled, opened the rear door first, threw the suit jacket on the back seat, closed the rear door, got in the car, and sat next to Xiao Ding. Xiao Ding smiled and said to Hong Jun: "You forgot, your computer is still in my car." Hong Jun returned home, put the computer bag on the sofa, washed his face with cold water, then picked up the computer bag and walked into the study. It was time for him to start dealing with the aftermath. The phone rang, and Hong Jun knew it must be Linda.As soon as he picked up the phone, Linda's voice came out of the receiver, causing Hong Jun to subconsciously move the phone away from his ear. "How is it? Are you all right?" Linda asked, her voice full of urgency. Hong Jun smiled, sighed, snorted through his nose, and said, "It's all right, this time it's completely all right." Linda just replied: "That's good." But immediately felt that Hong Jun's tone was very strange, as if there was something in the words, so she immediately asked: "What do you mean?" Hong Jun also became serious, and while sorting out the files in the computer, he said to the phone: "Peter suggested that I fire David and resign, but I didn't accept it. I asked him to terminate my contract. Peter accepted, so, I'm relieved now that ICE has fired me." Hong Jun suddenly felt that all of this was very ironic. Just yesterday, he was still trying to persuade Linda to leave ICE, saying that it was not good for the two of them to stay in the same company. Already left today.Hong Jun was a little embarrassed and a little sad. Linda gave a long "ah" on the phone, and then there was no sound for a long time, Hong Jun waited patiently without speaking. After a while, Linda seemed very puzzled and asked, "You said you, what responsibility are you taking on for that David? Isn't he just a little salesman?" "You don't know, even if David is fired, Peter will not let me stay in ICE. He suggested that I resign and offered me a few months' salary as compensation." Hong Jun's explanation made Linda feel that he was crazy. Linda must think that he was very unreasonable.Her voice became sharper, and her voice seemed to be splitting open: "Ah, the company doesn't want any money from you, but the company will fire you. What are you trying to do?" Hong Jun seemed to never remember hearing Linda make such a voice before.orgasm?It wasn't like this, it wasn't so piercing, the cry at that time was lower, as if it was desperately suppressed but couldn't be suppressed, the sound came from the deepest part of the body.But now the voice was indeed bursting out without any obstruction. Hong Jun was a little unhappy, he said in a muffled voice, "Why are you talking to me like that?" Linda did not show any weakness, and immediately responded: "What's the matter? You are no longer my boss." Hong Jun could hear that there was no playfulness in this remark, and Linda was not joking. In Hong Jun's mind, the image of Linda poking her neck and saying these words unexpectedly appeared in Hong Jun's mind.Hong Jun wondered, he seldom had the full picture of Linda in his mind before, how come she has become alive now?Hong Jun felt a little funny, so he could only patiently explain to Linda: "If I resign and take the money from ICE, I will be restricted. If I let ICE fire me, I will not be restricted. Go to any company." Just after finishing speaking, Hong Jun suddenly noticed that he had inadvertently changed a small detail. When talking about ICE, he no longer said "company" and so on, but directly said those three letters, because he had already Not belonging to that company.People's sense of belonging is really strange, so sensitive that sometimes even he himself has not realized that Hong Jun has completely removed himself from ICE. Linda snorted through her nose, then sighed and said, "Well, it's not easy to find a job if you don't lose face by resigning, and it's easier to find a job if you get fired. I really don't know what you think." Hong Jun didn't want to talk about this anymore. He felt that there was no need to explain any more. He stopped what he was doing, held the phone, and said as softly as possible: "Linda, let's not talk about this, okay? I'm not sure I'm so What will happen in the future if you do it, but since you have already done it, you won’t talk about it anymore, huh?” Linda didn't answer, and it seemed that she didn't want to entangle with Hong Jun anymore.Hong Jun waited for a while, but seeing that there was no response, he thought Linda had calmed down, so he said, "I miss you, I really want to be with you now." No reply.Hong Jun then said quietly: "Come here, please? I think you can stay by my side at this time. Do nothing, talk to me, if you don't want to talk, we will sit next to each other. As long as you can stay with me It's good to be around." Chapter 28: Chapter Four (6) There was still no reply, Hong Jun waited, he couldn't stand the silence, and just opened his mouth to say something, Linda said: "It's too late, my heart is also very disturbed, you won't be happy if I go. " Linda paused for a moment, her voice softened a lot, and she said, "Go to sleep, you've been so tired these two days, you're so tired that you don't look like you anymore." After speaking, she seemed to wait for a while, and then hung up the phone.With his mouth open, Hong Jun held up the phone, listening to the beeping sound from the receiver, and didn't put it down for a long time. At seven o'clock in the morning, Hong Jun was woken up by the alarm clock set on his mobile phone.On Friday, it's time to go to work, and Xiao Ding will be downstairs soon.Hong Jun got out of bed immediately, went to the bathroom, and had a face-to-face with himself in the mirror, and then he really woke up.He doesn't need to get up so early, and Xiao Ding won't pick him up today, and he doesn't need to go to work today, and he may not need to go to work for many days in the future.When Hong Jun woke up, he remembered that he no longer had a job. Hong Jun went back to the bed and threw himself on the bed, it's better to sleep, he said to himself. The cricket was calling, the sound was getting louder, it seemed to be getting closer, it seemed to be under the bed, Hong Jun wanted to catch this cricket, it was too annoying.Hong Jun turned over and sat up, eyes still closed, one hand on the bed, the other on the bedside table, groping, and finally caught the "cricket" singing while vibrating.Hong Jun still closed his eyes, put the mobile phone to his ear, and said "Hello", and Xiao Tan's panicked voice came from inside. "Boss, what's the matter? Peter just gave us a meeting and said that you have left the company!" Hong Jun opened his eyelids and glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table, it was half past nine.He said angrily: "I'm sleeping!" He hung up the phone and buried his head in the pillow. Not long after, the phone rang again.Hong Jun suddenly became irritable. When he looked at the alarm clock, it was not yet ten o'clock.He picked up the phone and glanced at the number, it was Xiaoding calling.He calmed down, although his chest was still heaving, his voice was already normal: "Hey, Ding, what's the matter?" Xiao Ding seemed to be embarrassed and said: "The chief financial officer asked me to go to you and send you some things in your office, and he also asked me to bring back your laptop." Hong Jun was fully awake, and he said briskly to Xiao Ding, "Oh, I understand. Come here, and take the computer back by the way." Hong Jun got up and began to wash up. Everything was packed, but Xiao Ding hadn't arrived yet.Hong Jun thought, Xiao Ding must want to give himself more time, dawdling on the road, or just waiting downstairs.Hong Jun suddenly felt hot in his heart, but immediately felt desolate again.Yes, Xiao Ding is indeed a very meticulous and considerate person, but now it seems that only Xiao Ding has some human touch. After Hong Jun waited for a while, he felt no sleepiness at all, and Xiao Ding also rang the doorbell.Hong Jun opened the door, and Xiao Ding was holding a paper bag in his hand, which contained Hong Jun's personal belongings in the office.While flipping through the contents of the paper bag, Hong Jun let Ding in, but Xiao Ding refused desperately, so he insisted on standing in the passage outside the door. Hong Jun roughly flipped the paper bag over and asked Xiao Ding, "Where are my business cards? They are in the big card case on the table?" Xiao Ding muttered, "Jane and I packed things up. I put all those business cards in. Later, the chief financial officer came in and saw them, and took out the entire business card box. He said it was the customer's information, and he said it was the customer's information. Those belonging to the company are not allowed to be brought to you." Hong Jun smiled, didn't say anything, went in and took out the computer bag with the laptop that had been tidied up last night, handed it to Xiao Ding, and said to Xiao Ding, "Thank you, Ding, take care." Xiao Ding took the computer bag with both hands, held it in his hand, blushed, held back for a long time, and then said, "Boss, you are very kind to me. If you want anything in the future, you can call me at any time. I will designate Do your best." Hong Jun nodded with a smile. Xiao Ding turned around and was about to leave when he turned around and said to Hong Jun, "Boss, then I'm leaving. Take care too." Hong Jun smiled and nodded again, raising his hand and shaking his head. Akira, try to look as relaxed and casual as you usually do when you break up. Hong Jun closed the door, casually put the paper bag aside, feeling empty in his heart.He thought about it, and felt that the best way to make himself less empty might be to sleep, so he walked into the bedroom and threw himself on the bed again. Hong Jun seemed to be in a daze, and heard the phone ringing again, "Impossible, I don't have a job anymore, where do I get so much business?" He turned over and wanted to have a more interesting dream again. sound dream. Chapter 29: Chapter Four (7) No, why does it seem that "birds are heard everywhere", and mobile phones are ringing everywhere.Hong Jun had no choice but to get up, picked up the phone and took a look, why did it belong to Xiaoding again?Could it be that Xiaoding accidentally touched the dial button and dialed the number he just made?Hong Jun had the impression that Xiao Ding seemed to be very careful, so he probably couldn't, so he picked it up: "Hello, Ding? What's the matter?" Xiao Ding's voice on the phone seemed to be more difficult than the one just now, he was a little at a loss, and he was a little intermittent: "Boss, I just arrived at the parking lot under the company, and she is waiting for me here, she wants to see your computer." Hong Jun didn't understand at first, so he asked, "Who? Where? Whose computer?" Xiao Ding explained hesitantly: "As soon as I arrived at the parking lot, she came over and asked me to give her your computer. She said she wanted to take a look." Hong Jun heard it clearly, but still didn't understand: "Who? Who stopped you from looking at my computer?" Suddenly there was no movement on the phone, and after a while, Xiao Ding's trembling voice sounded again: "Yes...it's Linda." Hong Jun understood everything at once, and felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart. He waited for himself to calm down before asking: "Then is she by your side now? Tell her to listen to the phone." He could hear someone talking on the other side of the phone, and Hong Jun seemed to be able to see Xiao Ding and Linda pushing back, and he could also see that Linda walked far enough away from Xiao Ding after answering the phone before stopping.After a while, Linda's voice came from the phone, which seemed to be coming from far away in the sky: "Jim," Linda paused, and then said, "I want to check your computer and see if there is anything in it. Nothing about me." Hong Jun guessed that this was the reason, and he calmly said to Linda: "Linda, don't worry, I checked the entire computer last night, and everything that should be deleted has been deleted, so don't worry." Linda was silent for a while, and then she seemed to have made up her mind, and said firmly: "Jim, just let me read it again, there are some things that are very important to me, I don't want to be seen by others, I have to make sure It's really been deleted." Hong Jun became a little impatient: "Is that why you don't believe me?" Linda's tone was still soft, but Hong Jun could hear the softness in it: "Jim, I just want to take a look at your computer. Since you have deleted everything, you should let me take a look." Linda paused and said half-jokingly, "Besides, it's not your computer anymore." Hong Jun was stunned with his mouth open, yes, it is indeed not his computer anymore.Not only the computer, what once belonged to him no longer belonged to him. Hong Jun was very confused.Everything seems to be in the very distant past, as if it was a long time ago.No, it's only been two days, right?Only two days ago, he seemed to have everything he wanted, he had so many things to admire, and he had a bright future.而仅仅四十八小时之后的现在，洪钧忽然发现，他曾经拥有的都失去了，他感觉到疼了。拥有的时候他觉得无所谓，决定放弃的时候他也可以告诉自己不要去在乎，可当他真失去所有这些的时候，他觉得疼了。忽然，他觉得非常冷，他不敢去想，因为他也意识到了更可怕的东西：他的疼才刚刚开始，因为，他不仅没有了过去，更没有了前途，也没有了希望。
