Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

Geng Lin's computer company gave up the market for assembling computers a few years ago and turned to software development.Geng Lin was transferred during the company's transformation.Before that, he was an associate professor in the computer department of an industrial university.At that time, computers had just begun to become popular, and software development hadn't been taken seriously to the level it is today, but Geng Lin had already devoted himself to the software pile.At the beginning, he assisted some units in designing programs, and gradually he felt that his extremely active mind was fully capable of making a software by himself.The first set of computer software he proposed was about the accounting system, from the simplest office accounting to the more complex company accounting.When Geng Lin was looking for buyers for these software, he met Wu Wei, who was already the general manager of the computer company at that time.Wu Wei gave Geng Lin a satisfactory price and bought his software. The money saved Geng Lin from worrying about his future life.Through this transaction, Geng Lin and Wu Wei became friends.Geng Lin felt that Wu Wei was a man of vision, not only in his appreciation, but also in his excellent judgment on market forecasts.A year later, Geng Lin was transferred to Wu Wei's company.Soon Geng Lin lost the feeling of being Wu Wei's friend. Through some trivial matters, Geng Lin discovered that there is only one interpersonal relationship that Wu Wei trusts, and that is the relationship of interests.Therefore, Geng Lin immediately adjusted his attitude towards Wu Wei and only acted as a subordinate.

At this time, the software market was extremely hot, and all kinds of software were surging, which made the competition fierce.Faced with this situation, Geng Lin never produced another software. Under pressure, Geng Lin often reacted by hiding all kinds of abilities, so his position in the company was unavoidably passive.He began to consider whether to leave the company and go back to college. Although the monthly salary is less, there is no pressure.At this time, Wu Wei discovered the potential value of Geng Lin with his bole-like insight, that is, if he is assigned to a certain research group, and he is not allowed to take the lead, but to work hard, he will be able to give full play to his talents.This adjustment really worked. From then on, Geng Lin shuttled around in various research groups and acted as the second person.After a long time, he also enjoyed himself.

There is another knot in the relationship between Wu Wei and Geng Lin, which Geng Lin did not feel.Because Wu Wei has strong restraint, it can also be said that he has no strong desires. In Wu Wei's life, it seems that everything can be solved through rational thinking and analysis.This knot is Lou Hong. Within a few weeks after Lou Hong entered the company, Wu Wei was transferred to assist his secretary in writing a relatively large company development report, so they had more contact opportunities.Wu Wei likes Lou Hong very much, just like he also likes other women.This liking will never affect his marriage, not because he loves his wife, but because his wife controls a considerable part of his economic lifeline.He didn't make too many hints, he felt that his extraordinary enthusiasm for Lou Hong was enough for her to understand.He just waited, thinking that one day Lou Hong would break into his office abruptly, like he had experienced with other girls before, and they admitted that they couldn't hold themselves in front of his demeanor, status, and knowledge.But Lou Hong was not another girl, not only did she not come, but she asked him to go back to her former office.Wu Wei is such a man, he didn't like Lou Hong further because of her unique character, on the contrary, he developed a kind of persistent dissatisfaction with her for no reason.In Wu Wei's view, obedience is a virtue that all people should have.

It's easy to remember a street scene on a particular afternoon for something unusual.Or a little different atmosphere from the past.Liu Yun had never entered the building where Geng Lin worked, but Geng Lin pointed out this building to her when they passed by a few times.Liu Yun got off the taxi one street ahead of time. The driver thought she was the kind of passenger who cared about the mileage, and stopped the car very unhappy because the meter showed 3.8 kilometers. "Are you there?" the driver said suspiciously. "It's fine to stop here." Liu Yun thought that she would walk the rest of the way, and took the opportunity to calm herself down.

The driver let out a sneer.Liu Yun didn't notice it, and she handed over a ten-yuan bill and said: "Don't look for it." After she finished speaking, she quickly got out of the car. The driver flicked the ten-yuan bill with his fingers, and nodded towards the noisy street ahead, not knowing whether to praise the generosity of the passengers or warn himself not to be a villain in the future. The small street that Liu Yun wanted to walk on no longer exists, replaced by a piece of ruins that have just been demolished.Standing in front of the ruins, she remembered that she had walked through this street countless times when she was in middle school, either in a hurry or chatting.She walked past the ruins, followed by a street garden.There are people sitting on every bench, some are talking about love, some are reading newspapers, and some are just staring into the distance without moving.There were also two groups of men (mostly retired old men) gathered on the ground, Liu Yun could not see whether they were playing cards or chess.

When she was about to walk out of the square, a man quietly approached behind Liu Yun, and quickly said the names of two female genital organs in her ear: "Labia major, labia minora, labia major, labia minora." After speaking, the man quickly turned and left. Liu Yun heard what he said clearly at the beginning, but didn't react.When she realized it and turned around, the man had already walked away.Liu Yun stood where he was, looking at the man's back in a bad mood.Suddenly the man stopped, turned around and smiled at Liu Yun, and then walked forward as if nothing had happened.Liu Yun stood there, looking at the people and scenery in the square, all indifferent.There was an old man wearing glasses who was reading a newspaper, looked up at Liu Yun through the glasses, then shook his head, as if he didn't understand why Liu Yun was still standing there angry.The cloudy sky that Liu Yun ignored just now seems to be even more gloomy now. Liu Yun can't help but think of Lou Hong's insults to her on the phone last night, and Geng Lin's perfunctory, coupled with the current scene in this square, let her My heart started beating like that again, and my palms were sweating immediately.She feels like a street mouse, everyone can express contempt and disgust for her...

When this day finally becomes a thing of the past, Liu Yun can often clearly recall this afternoon. On the elevator going to Wu Wei's office, Liu Yun was worried that after the elevator stopped and the door opened, Geng Lin would stand at the door, as if he had something to go down.She didn't think there was anything shameful about what she was about to do, but she had a premonition that if she met Geng Lin first, she would not have the strength to meet his leader again. Maybe fate is arranged in this way, so that everything that can happen between Geng Lin and Liu Yun will happen.If fate has a clear direction, no one can change its trajectory.Liu Yun didn't meet anyone when she stepped out of the elevator, and she seemed to be led straight to the general manager's office by an invisible force.

"Is there anything you want?" Wu Wei's female secretary asked enthusiastically. "I'm looking for your general manager." Liu Yun said bluntly.At this moment, the female secretary could see something was wrong on Liu Yun's face.She asked again carefully: "Have you made an appointment with him?" The attitude of the female secretary reminded Liu Yun of a Hong Kong TV series.She didn't expect that everything in front of her was the same as in the TV series. The general manager was locked in another room like her isolated patient.She thought it was ridiculous, and it made her angry.She vaguely felt that Geng Lin's changes were also related to this new environment.

"I'm Geng Lin's wife, and I have something urgent to find him." The little secretary who had seen all kinds of people immediately dialed Wu Wei's number. She noticed that Liu Yun's eyes were stiff, and she was worried about having an attack with her. "General manager, Geng Lin's wife is here, she wants to see you right away." The reply was a bit late, obviously he was thinking about it. "Let her in." When Liu Yun walked into Wu Wei's office, he was first shocked by his huge desk.She glanced at the area of ​​the desk out of the corner of her eye, and her operating table flashed in her mind, which was almost the size of two operating tables.

"Please come over here and sit down." Wu Wei left his boss desk and led Liu Yun to the sofa corner in front of the window. Liu Yun sat down and glanced at Wu Wei, but didn't speak.She was thinking of the desk in her own ward office, and she even thought of the desks of all the doctors she had ever seen.Who are they?merchant!Is the work they do more important than a doctor?She thought of this, and the female secretary brought her a cup of tea. "Tea, please." Wu Wei made a gesture of invitation.Liu Yun found that she didn't like this person at all. "It's a pity we haven't met before." Wu Wei said, comparing Liu Yun with his wife in his heart.Although he also saw that Liu Yun was in an abnormal state of mood, he was still more attractive than his wife, so he was a little uncomfortable again.

"Our jobs are different, so it is difficult to have the opportunity to meet unless you are sick." Liu Yun said, and at the same time, he was surprised by his sudden calmness. "Before Geng Lin was transferred, we often had dinner together, but unfortunately he didn't introduce us." "So you know Geng Lin very well?" Liu Yun hoped to get down to business. "What happened?" Wu Wei asked with concern. "He has separated from me." "Really?" Wu Wei was surprised, "Why didn't you hear what he said?" "Of course he won't." "why?" "Of course it's because of another woman." Liu Yun kept using the word "of course" unconsciously. Wu Wei leaned his back on the sofa, was silent for a while and said: "That's right." "I don't know if a new unit like yours still has the same functions as the old unit in the past, maybe I shouldn't come here, but if I don't come, there is no way for Geng Lin to sit across from me and discuss the issue clearly ." "You mean he's avoiding you?" "Yes," Liu Yunyue said more calmly, which surprised himself. "I find it embarrassing, and I don't understand why men don't solve the problems in their marriage first, and if they can't solve the problems before getting a divorce, it's not too late to find a lover." After Liu Yun said these words, Wu Wei had a basic understanding of her: a rather childish woman. "I don't know how I can help you. Geng Lin has always performed well in the company. Besides, he never told me about his private life. Is your marriage really such a big problem?" Wu Wei asked This sentence is from the bottom of my heart. If he wants to divorce, then there must be a big problem in his marriage.Maybe he could never understand that Geng Lin wanted to end his long-lasting marriage for another woman. "I don't think so." Liu Yun said, "We've been married for more than ten years. If there were such a big problem, we wouldn't be able to survive today." "I think so too. I'm really sorry for you. You know that in a company like ours, everyone is busy with business, and generally ignores issues that belong to personal private life. The so-called civil disobedience Officials do not investigate." "Are you trying to tell me that I've found the wrong place?" Liu Yun asked a little unfriendly. "Don't, don't misunderstand." Wu Wei quickly explained, "Treat individual cases individually, not from the company's point of view, I will also help you." He didn't realize that he said "your favor", Instead of "your favor". "May I ask?" "you say." "Is that woman related to our company?" Liu Yun hesitated for a while, she thought about Lou Hong, and some of them were just the impression she got from the phone, so she said firmly: "If it doesn't matter, I won't come." In fact, Liu Yun didn't come here because Geng Lin and Lou Hong worked in the same unit.The main thing she can't stand is Geng Lin's attitude, but many things tend to be out of shape when they are implemented.When Liu Yun said that, he didn't think that this might give Wu Wei a misunderstanding. "who is it?" "Lou Hong." Hearing Liu Yun say this name, Wu Wei already had an idea in his head.This idea did not go through his thinking at all, but it came calmly and naturally, as if the skin would sweat in hot weather, almost an instinctive reaction. "Ah, it's this woman." "What kind of woman is she?" Liu Yun asked. "It's quite a background. I heard that her parents are very energetic." When Wu Wei said this, he knew very well how Liu Yun would understand his implication. "So their daughters can snatch other people's husbands?" "Where is there, don't understand it this way." Wu Wei wanted to end the conversation, "Do you think this is good? Let's find another time, I will call Geng Lin, and the three of us will sit down and talk. Of course, I am not Saying that you want to be my interviewer about your private life issues, I'm just building a bridge." "Okay, when?" Liu Yun was very satisfied with Wu Wei's words, which was almost the purpose of her trip: she wanted to catch Geng Lin, even if she just regarded him as an opponent. "Of course, the sooner the better. But I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, and I'm going to a few cities in the south, so I have to prepare some materials today. So, don't be too anxious, we'll do it right away when I come back." Liu Yun didn't say a word. She smiled and looked at Wu Wei. He was looking at Liu Yun with a neutral and gentle expression typical of middle-aged men, as if he only expected Liu Yun to say "OK".But Liu Yun didn't say anything, and the smile slowly froze on her face, which was enough to make Wu Wei feel a little scared.Those sleepless nights, when she couldn't read or sleep, all the TV shows were over.She lay on the bed like this, she wanted to quarrel with someone, she wanted to swear, but there was no one, only the darkness was like a big hand over her mouth, trying to suffocate her.She cried and prayed to God, "Let me sleep, let me fall asleep, just let me sleep for a while."And during the day, she also didn't let her go. Sometimes when she was smiling, she suddenly thought of Geng Lin's dodge in front of her.Sometimes it was another woman's contempt for her. If they stood in front of Liu Yun at that moment, Liu Yun didn't know what she would do under the command of his trembling heart.Now Wu Wei's words hooked all this back, she was like a swimmer, she had swam too far and was exhausted, she grabbed the wooden stick that Wu Wei handed over, but Wu Wei pulled the wooden stick go back.Liu Yun can no longer correctly understand everything she encounters, and she puts everything into this logic: Wu Wei is unwilling to help her, and cannot help her; no one can help her; she must help herself . "What did you just say?" Liu Yun seemed to be a wandering soul that had just floated back from a distance. "I mean you calm down," Wu Wei was frightened by Liu Yun's expression just now, and tried to soften his tone, "As soon as I come back, we will deal with this matter." "Thank you," Liu Yun said with a bit of disdain, as if he just got power from the devil. "I think I went to the wrong place, you can't help me." After finishing speaking, Liu Yun stood up and glanced at Wu Wei's huge desk, "Actually, I don't think you need to use such a big desk. Is your job more important than being a doctor?" "Yes, doctors are very important." Wu Wei stood up, smiling carefully. "That is, if you are sick, don't you still have to see a doctor?" Liu Yun's mood at this time wanted to express to everyone the contempt he didn't know for what. "Goodbye, I hope you don't have to worry about this anymore." Liu Yun left. "Goodbye, you go slowly." Wu Wei heard the secretary's voice. "Crazy." Wu Wei murmured to himself, then pondered for a while, as if he had been reminded to see if there was any irresponsibility in his attitude towards this "mental patient" just now.He let out a breath, obviously not feeling any discomfort. "Tell the driver, I'll be out right away," he said to his secretary on the intercom.
