Chapter 199: I Was Snubbed Out

I am not a saint. Chen Man suddenly returned to Nantong store, which hit me a lot. I spent the whole day in a daze and couldn't find a job at all. After get off work for an hour, I did not complete the work tasks that I could have completed in half a day.

I stared at the computer screen powerlessly and stared at the computer screen in a daze. I kneaded the cigarette box with cigarettes in my hand into a ball, and threw it into the garbage can with hatred.

I closed my eyes and leaned against the back of the chair. Some messy scenes flashed in my mind. I became even more irritable, but the sound of the phone rang out in my irritability.

I picked up the phone and didn't look at the number, so I answered the phone: "Hey, who is that?" Because of my irritability, I was very impatient and didn't even say "Hello".

He was stunned on the other end of the phone and asked, "Zhang Yixi, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"

I heard it was Chen Qingyi's voice, and finally slowed down and replied, "No, I'm a little tired, is there anything wrong?"

"Sister Chen Man is back. Today, I set up several tables to entertain my former friends in Tianxiang Pavilion. I was invited to attend, but I didn't find you on the scene. I was a little curious and called you to ask about this."

Chen Qingyi's words left me speechless. I did not receive Chen Man's banquet notice. I stopped for a long time before I said to Chen Qingyi: "I have something tonight and I can't go." After I finished speaking, I felt helpless. I didn't want others to know that there was a violent conflict between Shen Man. It was like a family scandal that should not be made public. Even though I was extremely dissatisfied, in my heart, I still regarded Chen Man as my relative. After all, I had the feelings of spending six years together day and night.

"Oh, then if you have something to do, I won't bother you, bye!"

"Bye-Bye......"

After finishing my call with Chen Qingyi, I came to the window and wanted to see the dusk. At this moment, the lazy and soft sunlight might make me quieter, but when I opened the curtains, I realized that night had arrived... This city was shrouded in darkness again without my awareness.

I opened the window and a wave of heat hit me. I lit the cigarette in the face, but after only two puffs, the cigarette was no longer fragrant. I was a little dazed, and I didn't know how to smoke all...

My index and middle fingers were holding cigarettes, but my thumb pressed my temple. My head ached slightly, but I couldn't tell whether this pain was due to anger or fatigue!

The city under the night is so seductive. How many people live a luxurious nightlife under such nighttime, but I, who are isolated on the edge of the city, can only feel the silence of the night lonely, but cannot participate in singing and dancing to peace!

.........

After standing for a while, my phone rang again. I exhaled the depression accumulated in my heart and prepared to answer the phone with the most peaceful attitude. I understand: I cannot let negative emotions penetrate my mind. I am in a weak position in the competition. Only by keeping a calm mind can I win a glimmer of hope for myself!

This time I still answered the phone without looking at the number, but my tone was very calm: "Hello, hello!"

"Do you need to be so polite with me?" Guan Ying's very capable voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's you, Sister Guan Ying!"

"Well, come to Tianxiang Pavilion Restaurant, we are all here." Guan Ying rarely said to me in a calm tone.

"Forget it, I don't think I'm that popular." I said to Guan Ying with emotion, at least the host of the dinner did not invite me.

When I refused, Guan Ying's tone became unhappy again: "Why, I invite you, do you want to refuse too?"

I did not compromise because of Guan Ying's oppressive tone, but still kept my tone in a calm tone, "I just don't want to be that uninvited guest. Don't worry about me, you can have fun."

"I asked you to come, who dares to say that you are an uninvited guest~~~ If you refuse again, you will look a little mother-in-law." Guan Ying's tone was unstoppable.

Her words have reached this level. If I refuse again, I will seem ungrateful. After thinking about it, I finally said, "Well, I'll go there..."

......

Tianxiang Pavilion Restaurant is only ten minutes away from our company. I soon drove to my destination. There were many cars I was familiar with in the parking lot. With these cars alone, I knew how many people Chen Man hired tonight. Her social circle was really huge and shocking. I was a little discouraged. I had a angular personality. I was more than one level away from Shen Man in handling interpersonal relationships. Maybe I wouldn't care about these things before, but when our relationship became a competitor, I especially cared about the comparison between myself and Shen Man. Even if it was just a trivial detail, it would arouse my sense of crisis.

I walked along the corridor to the second floor, and all the eyes in the hall were focused on me. This was not surprising, because I was the last one to attend. I made an apologetic gesture to everyone, expressing my lateness, and ignored the eyes and looked around, trying to find an empty seat for myself. Finally, I found two empty seats in an inconspicuous corner. I walked towards the corner without looking squinting. At this moment, I and Chen Man, who was sitting at the head of the table, did not even communicate with each other with a look.

After I sat down, I began to look at the people around me. This table was basically an ordinary employee of our company. The more I went forward, the more celebrities I sat in, especially the Chen Man's table, where the seats were all leaders from all walks of life, and there were two leaders of the Trade Bureau. Guan Ying and Chen Qingyi were also at the same table, and the prince sat with the people from their company. As for Mr. Gao, naturally, he sat at Shen Man's table, and a meal was divided into different levels. Although he was not surprised, he was still very repulsive in his heart. This repulsiveness made me naturally fall into silence and didn't want to say a word.

.........

The dinner began soon, and Chen Man was naturally the protagonist of the banquet. She handled the extremely complex interpersonal network that seemed to me with ease. She sometimes smiled, sometimes listened carefully, and sometimes made witty comments. The atmosphere of the banquet did not show any coldness under her guidance, and I sat in that small corner that only belonged to me, and I never said anything.

Chen Man took the drink and began to toast at the table. All his eyes were once again focused on her. At this moment, she was like a goddess shining in the crowd.

"Mr. Hu, I am honored to be able to attend my banquet. How is your recent work?" Chen Man said to the general manager of another brand of 4S stores.

The man, who was called Mr. Hu, quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Originally, my work has been going well, but if you return to Buick, Mr. Chen, I will be under a lot of pressure. I hope you can be proud and show mercy!" After that, I drank the glass of wine.

Chen Man said with a smile in the workplace: "Mr. Hu, you are too serious. Only with competition can you be motivated. I hope to encourage you and achieve good results together in the future." After that, he drank a sip of the drink in the cup, nodded to Mr. Hu, and then walked towards another table.
