Chapter 16 another -1

"A lot"?How it sounds like a dog's name.It seems that there is a Hong Kong movie in which there is a dog named Duoduo.On the night of Guo Jinsong's treat, Zhou Meng heard the name "Duoduo" for the first time, and Xiaohui also knew Duoduo.They all said that a person named Duoduo would definitely come. Originally, they bought raw meat, vegetables and live fish and waited for Duoduo to cook.However, after everyone cooked and ate, the person named Duoduo never appeared, and he didn't answer when he was called. Xiaohui said: "Duoduo hasn't come here for a long time, probably because he found a job. His Dongpo elbows are really amazing." "There are also pickled fish." Another boy answered.

"I just love his fried egg toast." Guo Jinsong said. This is a cook, right? Zhou Meng is unpredictable. Zhou Meng didn't consider the possibility of Guo Jinsong because Guo Jinsong was younger than her. Guo Jinsong was one of the three boys, the three boys Xiaohui directed to carry Zhou Meng's luggage at the beginning.Later, Guo Jinsong saw Zhou Meng always greeted her in the corridor, but Zhou Meng couldn't tell which of the three he was, and she felt that the three leaders were all similar in size and appearance.Later, I figured it out, and I also knew that Guo Jinsong was younger than her.

It's embarrassing to say, but this is the fourth time Guo Jinsong invited her and Xiaohui to dinner.Although it is a student-style economical way of eating every time, either buy some fish to cook by yourself, or go to the small stir-fry department in the cafeteria. Pan Duo, Pan Duo is even younger than Guo Jinsong. When I really saw that person named Duoduo, the severe winter had come, Zhou Meng moved again, and jumped three more times.Her new employer is Beijing Join Film and Television.Joined Film and Television is affiliated to Beijing Joined Popular Culture Co., Ltd. Beijing Joined Popular Culture Co., Ltd. is affiliated to Beijing Joined Group.What kind of group is joining the group?A private group company with an annual turnover of tens of billions.

Joining Film and Television is a newly registered film and television company.According to the vision of the company's general manager, Beijing Joined Popular Culture Co., Ltd. has three major subsidiaries: Joined in Film and Television, Joined in Advertising, and Joined in Culture.Of course, at present, apart from joining the film and television, the other two companies are still empty shells.Zhou Meng was recruited as an advertising copywriter, but the joining advertising company has no advertisers. Zhou Meng's actual work is to take care of all the company's film and television promotional copywriting.To be specific, tout the various TV shows the company is running.The so-called operation, there are two types: one is the company's self-made films, and the other is the introduction and distribution.I forgot to mention that there are also two subsidiaries of Join Film and Television: one is Join Film and Television Production Company, and the other is Join Film and Television Distribution Company.cow?Affiliate Film and Television has nothing else but money, at least that's how it is viewed in the world. Therefore, as soon as Affiliate Film and Television rises, it becomes the first position in the industry and takes advantage of it.

"Is there no one to shoot this book? Find a franchise film and television company!" The people in the film and television company are bad. Zhou Meng had a promotional copy saying that a certain actress such-and-such drama became a hit. As a result, people from the distribution department immediately went to the advertising department to inquire: "Hey, is your Miss Zhou married? There is a man Is it a friend? Does she understand the definite meaning of instant fame?" Soon, Zhou Meng understood. When Pan Duo found out that Zhou Meng was really a virgin, his first reaction was not surprise but disappointment: "Why, you are already twenty-three years old, has no one ever wanted you?"

As if he was cheated as much as he suffered, the girlfriend is actually a bargain. Afterwards, he ingeniously kept the bed sheet.Zhou Meng felt bored, so he threw away the sheets when he went abroad, and asked Pando when he arrived in the United States. There is such a saying that if you have a protracted spiritual love with your first boyfriend, you will go hand-to-hand with the second boyfriend and soon enter the real problem. Experience, talk from experience. Pan Duo was sent by Xiaohui. Zhou Meng made documents for a week in the company, but lost them in the computer, which made Zhou Meng jump around in a hurry. "Don't worry, I'll send you someone, maybe you can find it." Xiaohui doesn't have any accent, but his voice is louder than ordinary Beijingers, "It's just a lot, you've seen it before."

"I haven't seen it, I always listen to you." "Oh, then you'll see you soon." Beijing is so cold in winter, yet Pan Duo appeared in front of Zhou Meng sweating profusely.Could it be that he came all the way from Zhongguancun?Or is it riding a bicycle?Zhou Meng was very touched in his heart, he had never met him before, when Xiaohui made a phone call, he rushed over enthusiastically. "Do you think I'm so warm-hearted with everyone? It's not that Lao Guo and the others always say you are beautiful and want to see you. How beautiful are you?" Pan Duo said to her after she was done.

"Then am I pretty?" Pan Duo looked up, down, left, and right: "Pretty is still beautiful, not cool enough." Zhou Meng's understanding is: her image is outdated. Speaking of sweating, Pan Duo smiled hippiely: "Of course I took a taxi, but I didn't take the elevator. How about it? Are you moved? Did it leave a deep impression on you?" Zhou Meng and his company are on the eleventh floor! This may be his tried and tested experience, but it was another thing that left a deep impression on Zhou Meng.That afternoon, Pan Duo did help her find the document. When he found the document, Zhou Meng said, "I'll treat you to dinner someday." He buried himself in his secretary Xiao Huang and hurriedly corrected the punctuation. Before leaving get off work, this document must be handed in. In the hands of Mr. Yun.

She thought he was gone, but when she turned her head, she found that Pan Duo was lying on the writing desk next to her and fell asleep. "Sleearound", Americans joked that the president who sleeps everywhere is a good president, with Kennedy before and Clinton after.Pando, if not a man who sleeps everywhere, is a man who sleeps everywhere.Whether it's the subway, fast food restaurant or someone else's sofa, he is likely to fall into a good sleep state.Zhou Meng's later experience is that he is more likely to fall asleep after eating a little food, just like a dog wants to take a nap after a meal.At 5:30, Pan Duo hadn't woken up when Zhou Meng got off work. He must have slept for more than two hours.It seems that today's dinner has been ordered by Zhou Meng.She walked over to wake him up, but before she opened her mouth, Pan Duo quickly raised her head from her arms and grinned: "You can go? I'll treat you to dinner."

Pando said as he picked up the black leather jacket that was draped over the back of the chair. Did he really fall asleep just now, or rest his mind? "I invite you, you will help me today." Zhou Meng said politely. Pan Duo said nothing, and when he got out of the company and walked into the elevator, and the elevator door was closed, he took out his wallet and grinned childishly again: "Let's compare, whoever has more money in his pocket will pay for it." Zhou Meng glanced at the contents of his wallet, not going to compare with him. Money is not as much as his, age, she may be older than him.

During the meal, Zhou Meng confirmed this, and his expression suddenly became forced. She doesn't know the effect of her reluctance on Pando. Until now, Pan Duo didn't realize how beautiful Zhou Meng was, and especially didn't like the green sweater on her, which made her complexion dark.It's true that she has a good heart. When ordering, she didn't order a single expensive dish.But not every girl will be so merciful, especially the pretty ones, most of them will kill you as a matter of course. Then, she suddenly calmed down, and her calm appearance had a special taste, especially, it was very different from the girls Pan Duo had dated before. Pan Duo knew that Zhou Meng was older than him, what happened to him?It's not that he hasn't had a girlfriend who is older than himself. "Aren't you from Beijing? Then why don't you speak with an accent?" They Beijingers like to praise foreigners like this: "You don't have an accent." Zhou Meng smiled: "I used to be a Chinese teacher, and a Chinese teacher must not have an accent." "Why is it wrong?" "I don't want to be that anymore." "Why don't you want to be?" Zhou Meng took a sip of tea, folded his arms, and asked old-fashionedly, "Did you just graduate from university?" Pan Duo said unconvinced: "What's wrong with just graduating? Didn't you graduate a year earlier than me? I know, it's because of life, right?" Zhou Meng laughed loudly: "That's right." "What's so funny." Pan Duo muttered angrily, "What's so funny?" He laughed himself. He smiled, but he stopped smiling and leaned back in his chair. "Don't think I don't understand." Pan Duo flicked the cigarette ash skillfully, "Believe it or not? I almost became the child's father." Zhou Meng didn't believe it, he looked like a child himself. "Believe it, why not?" she said. It can be seen that she believed her, and he was a little confused. Zhou Meng weighed the teapot. "Empty again?" Pan Duo said in surprise, "You can really drink water." "You can eat and drink." Zhou Meng had a nonchalant expression. Before they knew it, they ate this meal for more than two hours. Zhou Meng just moved in last week. Her father bought her a single dormitory from the institute. It is quite big, with 16 square meters.In order to make her daughter live more comfortably, Zhou Congjie also hired two workers from the institute to paint the room, install taps, and lay milky white floor tiles.Cao Fang came to see her, turned her back and muttered, "I still love my daughter." For Zhou Meng's single dormitory, the Zhou family sacrificed three bedrooms and two halls in the new building and replaced it with a three-bedroom apartment in the old building.Cao Fang watched the new building grow. Before it was finished, she went to the building to inspect the building several times.Well, it's useless to think about it. "Your sister's personal problems are still not resolved? She is not in a hurry, but I am." Cao Fang complained to Zhou Li.With his own 16 square meters, Zhou Meng has nothing to worry about. This winter, Zhou Meng did not add a new dress, all the money was spent on the 16 square meters. The budget was 3,000, but the actual cost was more than doubled. This was all the result of Zhang Xiaohui listening to the government behind the curtain.Later Zhou Meng was confused, is this her room or Zhang Xiaohui's? Although he doesn't have his own house, Zhang Xiaohui's only hobby is reading decoration magazines and visiting furniture stores.For a while, she went to "Guiyou" all the time, and "Guiyou" had a Nordic-style furniture exhibition at that time.Every day after work at 5:30 in the afternoon, Zhang Xiaohui goes to "Guiyou" to have a date with those elegant furniture.Zhou Meng accompanied her once, and watched Zhang Xiaohui discuss the details of shipping furniture to Sichuan with a shopping guide.It was a set of Danish furniture, and Zhang Xiaohui didn't even think about opening a shop after buying all of them. "Are you really buying it, or are you making fun of him?" Zhou Meng asked Zhang Xiaohui in a low voice after finally getting rid of the enthusiastic shopping guide. "How can you make fun of him? I am a potential customer of their company." Zhang Xiaohui said an advertising term and clenched his fists, "I will buy it later." After this is the next century. In 2000, just after Christmas, Zhou Meng received an express mail from Zhang Xiaohui from Mianyang, Sichuan in the United States. When he opened it, he found a large stack of color photos without a letter. Xiaohui only wrote three words on the back of a panoramic photo. One word: my home. Xiaohui has always longed for a home. It was an admittedly beautiful home, too. I don't know whether it adds to its lonely beauty or reduces its ordinary warmth. There is no male master in this home.Before December 1995, there was no male owner in Zhou Meng's 16 square meters, so she just had to buy a single bed if she wanted.Zhang Xiaohui considered it from another angle. The single bed is thin and stingy, which will destroy the overall layout. "The middle bed is better. It's comfortable to sleep and looks generous." Zhang Xiaohui instructed. When Zhou Meng heard it, he also thought it was reasonable.Later, Pan Duo repeatedly praised Zhang Xiaohui for his foresight. Zhang Xiaohui has also repeatedly expressed that he is so good at predicting things, showing off: "That is not what I mean." If it is all according to her Zhang Xiaohui's meaning, not only Zhou Meng will go bankrupt, but Pan Duo will also have to go bankrupt.At the beginning, Zhang Xiaohui insisted on forcing Zhou Meng to buy Nordic furniture, and he opened his mouth: "You don't have to think about the domestic ones." Regardless of the child who grew up in rural Sichuan, Zhang Xiaohui only has a soft spot for Nordic furniture. No way, especially the complicated and gorgeous Italian furniture, and hate it to the bone. "It's not concise at all." Zhang Xiaohui commented on the Italian furniture with drooping eyelids and corners of his mouth. The quarrel is exactly like the vice president of an advertising company that Zhou Meng once worked for a few days. The vice president can only say one sentence to his subordinates: "Succinct, more concise." Different from the vice president, Zhang Xiaohui has a special aesthetic pursuit in addition to the simplicity of the furniture. She likes the furniture to be flatter.She taught Zhou Meng: "...just like a good fashion is worn on a person, the visual effect is flat, and the furniture must be flat to have a modern look." Not only did she teach Zhou Meng alone, she also taught a joint venture furniture factory This is after Zhang Xiaohui finally agreed to face up to Zhou Meng's economic situation and give up Nordic furniture. The bed, wardrobe, TV cabinet, bookshelf, and desk were all custom-made in that joint-venture furniture factory, all made of light yellow beech wood veneers, because they were not logs, Zhang Xiaohui was depressed for several days. Zhou Meng didn't have to look at her face until he went to seven furniture stores and bought a small folding dining table with peach wood varnish.The custom-made furniture hadn't arrived yet, so Zhang Xiaohui moved the small dining table from side to side happily, sat down, and looked left and right.Zhou Meng also likes the small dining table very much. The texture of the peach wood is very beautiful, the color of the knots is dark, and the irregular round scars look like plum blossoms in a Chinese painting from a distance.Chic is chic, but it is a pity that it does not match other furniture. "Don't have everything in the same way, that's so petty." Zhang Xiaohui didn't spend five years in Beijing. Although her Beijing dialect is not good enough, she really has taste. "It will look good if you jump out." Zhang Xiaohui looked at the milky white floor tiles while talking: "Zhou Meng..." Zhou Meng knew that something was wrong. Last time, Zhang Xiaohui looked at it the same way and forced her to dismantle the pool, Zhou Mengning refused to do so.Not to mention that her father took great pains to find someone to install it. It is so convenient to have a water and sewage in the house, and I will buy a washing machine in the future. "But this pool ruined the overall effect." Zhang Xiaohui crossed his waist viciously. In the end, a compromise solution was to use a flat and long wardrobe to block the sink. As for the outer side, Zhou Meng's idea was to draw a curtain. "No." Zhang Xiaohui vetoed it without even thinking about it, "I can't let you ruin this room." Zhang Xiaohui is unique. She measured the size and ordered a Japanese-style sliding door with the furniture factory. The sliding door is Attached to the wardrobe. "That's fine, your rice cooker and other odds and ends can be put behind the door." What is talent?Zhang Xiaohui is the talent.The talent spoke again at this moment: "Zhou Meng, you need to change your floor tiles. It's too timid. At least you have to change them to imported synthetic wood instead of keels." "Xiaohui, is it almost enough?" Zhou Meng was exhausted. "Almost? How about that?" Zhang Xiaohui panicked, and the Sichuan dialect came out, "It's almost impossible. The floor tiles are like a toilet. How can there be a homely atmosphere?" "But my dad just laid the floor tiles for me. Besides, I really have no money." "I don't have any money, I'll lend it to you." Zhang Xiaohui said bluntly. The first time they met, Pan Duo sent Zhou Meng home, all the way to his door. "The corridors here are really dark. Do you leave work alone every day? How dangerous that is." Pan Duo said.Beijing boy, that mouth is really sweet. However, it might not be the dark corridor that is dangerous. Zhou Meng found the key from his coat pocket, opened the door, and pressed the key to turn on the light. Without waiting for her invitation, Pan Duo kicked off his shoes and stepped through the door in one step. Yes, Pan Duo was not really tempted until he walked into Zhou Meng's room. The room seemed very empty. There is a middle bed in the middle, the sides of the bed are empty, there is a TV cabinet at the end of the bed, and there is no bedside table.There is a wardrobe on the inner side of the bed, and the wardrobe is connected to a frosted glass sliding door. There is about 10 square meters of open space from the bed to the door, and there are bookshelves and desks against the wall on the right side of the door.On the left side, a small log folding dining table and two chairs are placed by the window. There is a white ice-patterned vase on the dining table, with a few dried flowers scattered here and there. A few square pillows were randomly thrown on the light apricot-colored wooden floor. The square pillow and bed cover are a set, in warm orange tones, and the patterns are Greek goddesses and cherubs.The old building is tall, with a ceiling lamp and two spotlights installed on the roof, and the long curtains that hang down to the ground are beige.Everything looks so girly, pure and beautiful, like a fairy tale. "Did you just move in? You don't feel very residential here." Zhou Meng laughed: "Why don't people live?" "Anyway, I don't live with people like me." He looked at her and said with a smile. The truth is, he moved in quickly. To be honest, when he saw Zhou Meng for the first time, Pan Duo secretly groaned in his heart, and fell into the trap of Lao Guo again.If it wasn't because he was extremely poor and bored, and there was no other girl worthy of dinner, he wouldn't be foolishly waiting for her to get off work.Her coat must not be warm enough. As soon as she walked out of their company and walked into the street, her shoulders shrank immediately, and she looked timid.Even if you don’t have a cashmere coat, you can wear a down jacket. It’s very stupid for a girl to just have demeanor and not temperature. How can there be demeanor without temperature?In the small restaurant, after drinking a cup of hot tea, she looks a little better, and her calm look looks a little better.Moreover, after all, she is a literary student, and she speaks more funny than girls from science and engineering. "Your film and television company is quite rich, right? Is there two thousand a month?" Pan Duo tentatively asked. "Two thousand and five." Pan Duo immediately felt that the hero was short of breath.Pan Duo graduated from university for the convenience of going abroad and did not ask for state distribution. He found a random job in a software company affiliated to the Zhongguancun Computing Institute, but he only got less than 1,500. "What specialties do you have? You," Pan Duo said with a smile in his eyes, "couldn't you be writing a TV series?" "No." Zhou Meng thought for a while and said, "I'm serious about my work and loyal to my boss. A little bit of luck." "It's easy for pretty girls to find a job, isn't it?" Pando asked. "Then you're going to ask those beautiful girls." Zhou Meng replied. The heater in the graduate school was burning hot, and in a blink of an eye, Zhou Meng had already changed into a thin beige open-neck sweater.People are people in the environment. In this fairy tale-like room, Pan Duo saw an ideal gentle and elegant wife.Pan Duo flipped through the novels on the bookshelf, turned around, and said, "You look like my first girlfriend, she also loves to read novels, and her surname is Zhou." Zhou Meng handed him a cup of chrysanthemum tea. It's not that I don't want to say something, but no matter what I say, it's like repeating the same old tune. But from the beginning, she didn't reject him either. Pando is very difficult to refuse, you can refuse people, but it is very difficult for you to refuse an animal that longs to be close to humans.Pando is as direct as an animal. The first time we met, he entered her room.The second time they met, he kissed her.The third time they met, he slept with her.If Zhou Meng didn't wait for Pan Duo's call in the next few days, he would be deceiving himself. The reality is so dramatic. After waiting for several days, he didn't call her. When Zhou Meng came back from the bathroom, his colleague told her that a man called her just now. to her annoyance... Zhou Meng hung up the phone to Zhou Li first: "Brother, did you call me just now?" Zhou Li said no. Then, it's Pando. Zhou Meng looked at his watch and waited for a quarter of an hour, but he didn't call again, she did. On the phone, Pan Duo asked her to go to Zhongguancun tomorrow. Zhou Meng decided to put on airs, and excused himself by saying that he was too tired and had to sleep all day on weekends. "Come on, I miss you a lot." Pan Duo's voice sounded affectionate on the phone. The next day was a day as warm as spring in winter. Zhou Meng arrived nearly an hour late. Among the crowd, Pan Duo saw her at a glance. She was wearing a gray-blue thin wool dress, a long coat in a different color, and her lipstick was a light rose color.Alas, last time, if she was dressed like this, he would have called her long ago. The gray-blue color is especially suitable for Zhou Meng. "Sorry, I got up late." Without thinking about it, Pan Duo kissed her on the cheek. "Go, let's eat first." How could he, just like that - kiss her? Come out from McDonald's to visit Haidian Book City. Zhou Meng saw a set of four "Collected Works of Zhang Ailing", and turned it over to check the price. "Buy it." Pando said. "I've read them all. What I want to buy is O. Henry." "Buy it." Pan Duo took out his wallet, "When I was in college, I went to bookstores all over the city to buy this set of books." "Buy it for your girlfriend?" Zhou Meng asked with a smile. "how do you know?" "Boys don't want to see Zhang Ailing that much. Have you bought it yet?" "No, it's sold out all over the city." Pan Duo is a university student in a big southern city. "However, less than a month later, all the bookstalls have this set of books." "you bought?" "No, she blew on me." As naturally as the wind blowing on his face, he kissed her again. It's not that he doesn't like him kissing her, it's just that he can't express the sadness in his heart. There was a flower shop by the roadside, and Pan Duo said, "Let me buy you flowers." Zhou Meng said seriously: "No, really." He bought it anyway, red roses. She wanted to say: I prefer carnations.She didn't say that as long as it is a flower, there is no myth of invincibility.At the end of a long corridor in the computing office, Pando kissed her.The way he kisses is also direct like an animal.After the initial palpitations and discomfort, Zhou Meng's reaction was quite strong.Like other girls, Zhou Meng asked: Do you love me?Pan Duo didn't say a word, he couldn't tell her so directly: I don't love you, I need you.It's only the second time we met, loving someone is so abstract and weird, how does he know now? Even if he knew, he couldn't tell her easily.Otherwise, sooner or later, he would be asked back: "Didn't you say you love me?" That night, Zhou Meng thought he would suffer from insomnia, but unexpectedly, he fell asleep as soon as he hit the pillow. She is tired, falling in love is the same as going to work, it requires physical strength. She was awakened by a knock on the door. "Who is it?" It was afternoon, and the sun was all over the beige curtains. "Your brother." I'm a little disappointed, it's not Pan Duo, but she also agreed with him last night, we won't meet today, and she has a copy to come out on Sunday. "Wait a minute." Zhou Meng quickly put on his skirt and opened the door. "Why didn't you go home for dinner last night?" Zhou Li asked as soon as he entered the door. "I went to the bookstore." Zhou Meng said while washing his face. "Father's meaning," Zhou Li opened the curtains, "Let's go to Beihai together today." "Not today, I have to catch up with a copywriting today." Zhou Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Today, it belongs to mother..." Zhou Meng's hand making the bed stopped in the air. Today is her mother's death day.Her mother likes Beihai the most. She used to go there at least once a year.She actually forgot. "Just the three of us." Zhou Li patted his sister's shoulder comfortingly. The corridor was really dark, Zhou Meng had dinner with her father and brother in Beihai Fangshan, and came back alone. The five-story building where she lived had fewer residents, and it was even more empty on weekends. Those young couples would go back to their parents' homes on weekends.In the distance, there seemed to be a figure at her door, and a few steps closer, she could see the red light of a cigarette butt.Zhou Meng stopped involuntarily, the posture of the figure was too familiar, her pupils were getting bigger and bigger in the dark, and her heartbeat almost stopped.He shook off the cigarette, came up to meet her, and hugged her. "where have you been?"
