chapter 40 Don't be like a child

After saying goodbye to Maya temporarily, I returned to the attic, opened the door, and found Robben sitting on the rooftop, holding a guitar in his hand, but not practicing singing. The beer cans scattered around him made him look a little decadent. I handed him a cigarette, jumped onto the guardrail, lit the cigarette, and listened to the sound of raindrops falling on the awning, like a sad sob, soaking the night, waiting for dawn. "Why are you depressed again?" I asked with a smile. Hayden tore open a can of beer and handed it to me, as if our night was just cigarettes and beer, and he said: "Every day I get tired." "Then just hang in there, buddy, I've decided to be a positive man." "Really? Don't lift without holding firm." Although Hayden was teasing me, I didn't care and replied with a smile: "Ye Ju, Ye Jian." After a pause, he said seriously: "It has been more than three years since I graduated, and I still haven't accomplished anything. Looking at the people around me, My classmates and friends all got married in a hurry, and they felt quite empty." Hayden nodded without saying anything. He just threw away the empty beer can in his hand and took a heavy drag on his cigarette. I stood up from the guardrail and shouted at the huge city below me that was shrouded in darkness: "I don't want to play anymore. I want to work every day, buy a house, and marry a beautiful girl." Every day when I go home, there are people talking and sleeping.” Hayden suddenly strummed the guitar, and the song "Don't Be Stupid" came out of his mouth. Only then did he realize that Hayden was pretty damn damaged. The next day, I came to the company early, and Maya also came to our company, and met with a manager in charge of marketing. When the manager met Maya for the first time, he also praised her image and temperament, which were very consistent with Cuuci's product positioning. I have no doubt about this. Although Maya is often careless in front of our friends, when she enters work, she has a noble temperament. She is fashionable and avant-garde in her noble temperament, and she also has a bit of mixed-race beauty, so I look for Maya shot promotional posters for them, not necessarily out of a test of the sincerity of our department store cooperation, but mainly because Maya is suitable. This just highlights the brand awareness of international first-line brands, who are often very cautious in marketing and publicity. While Maya was shooting promotional posters for i, the vice president of i China also signed a contract with our department store to set up counters there. This signing ceremony was very high-profile. Many media came to the signing site. Our company With the help of this signing ceremony, it was officially announced that Boli Department Store has entered the ranks of top department stores. The high-profile signing ceremony was just for the full marketing, warm-up and momentum building that I will be responsible for later. Therefore, the first real challenge in my life also officially started with the opening of i in our department store. start. This night, our company hosted a banquet for i's vice president in China and some of his entourage. Of course, as one of the heroes, I was also invited as an exception. This made me a little flattered. You know, after working at the grassroots level in the company for two years, I really didn't Have a few words with, let alone have dinner with, the most senior people in the company. At the banquet, Kyle praised me so much in front of the company's senior management that at the end of the banquet, Li Junren, the executive vice president of our Boli Department Store, came to me in person, patted me on the shoulder and said: "Young man, I remember you." Of course, this is just to remember that if I want the company's senior management to really take it seriously, I need to seize this rare opportunity and go all out to do this marketing campaign and create value for the company. After leaving the celebration party, I went to find Maya. After completing the i shooting task, she will leave Suzhou and return to Hengdian tomorrow to continue striving for her acting career. We were sitting next to a section of railway track. The railway track stretched infinitely in the direction of the wind in the dark night. It looked so free, but I knew that maybe the next city would be the end of this section of railway track. A green leather train that is already hard to see, carrying a group of people who looked so lonely, passed by our eyes in a hurry, leaving only some light, shadow and smell in the end. Maya was sitting next to me wearing thick clothes. There was some distance between our bodies. This distance made us become more and more like friends. I tucked in my clothes, lit a cigarette, and said to Maya: "Go back to the set and don't let others bully you anymore." Maya hugged her knees with both hands and looked at another passing train with some confusion. After a long time, she nodded and said to me: "Well, you should also work hard." "Well, actually I feel quite guilty, because you have been so wronged by what I did. When I can't sleep these days, I always want to hit that actress." Maya smiled and said, "Don't be like a child. In fact, I don't even want to think about this anymore." "Then what are you thinking about?" "I don't think about anything. If I think too much, I will feel sad." I agree with what Maya said, but can she really do it? At least I often think about it with my soul imprisoned by flesh and blood, and the more I think about it, the more painful it becomes. We were silent for a long time. I took out an envelope from the bag beside me and handed it to Maya and said, "This is your reward this time. It's ten thousand in total. Please click on it." “Why so many?” "Our manager said that as long as you can spare time to participate in the shooting this time, he is willing to pay three times the remuneration. Take it, you deserve it." I said and handed the envelope to Maya's hand again. Deliver. Maya took the envelope and stuffed it into her handbag. After that, we remained silent until we left, but we saw many trains whizzing by with the sound of wind. On the way back, it was just after 10 o'clock. In fact, Maya and I didn't sit on the side of the railway track for too long, but our hearts followed the fast-moving trains for a long way, and we couldn't take it back. When I returned to my residence, I found that Robben did not go to the bar tonight, because when he was about to open the door, a woman's gasping sound came from the house. It might be the Lily he brought back last time, or it might be another woman. I was too embarrassed to interrupt, but I had nowhere to go. After sitting downstairs for a while, I finally remembered that I had promised Penelope to help her get rid of the cockroach corpses a few days ago, so I might as well help her do it now. I called Penelope, and she told me that she had been waiting for me to get rid of the cockroaches in the old house, so she still lives in Willow Bank Scenic Garden. I told her that I had time to solve it now, and she immediately said that she also had time now, so we rushed to the old house from two directions in the city at the same time.
