In Tang Tianbao's subconscious, he had always felt that Yu Meng wouldn't just leave without saying goodbye. He always felt that Yu Meng wouldn't leave.
He waited, waiting, hoping, every day, and there was nothing he could do but wait. He felt that the days were getting darker, as if the cloudy weather was pressing down on him and making it hard for him to breathe.
The company's summer clothing project had already begun, and it was Li Bo who was in charge of the project. Tang Tianbao knew that this was a project with a fat head, but he was powerless. Tang Tianbao could feel that he was unnecessary. Ever since their last meeting, Xie Min had spoken less to him. She no longer thought about the importance she had placed on Tang Tianbao anymore as the company's staff were all busy now, leaving him alone with nothing to do. He was the only one who had nothing better to do, since he no longer had any practical tasks to do. This not only showed that Xie Min didn't think highly of him, it also showed that he had no bonus this month and could only take a small amount of basic salary. The company adopts the system of distribution according to work, the more the more the gains, the less the gains.
Although Tang Tianbao didn't have much work to do every day, he didn't want to go home. He spent most of his time at the company after work until the lights blossomed and the moon shined. He didn't want to go home. Although he had been physically and mentally exhausted for the past few days, he didn't want to go home. He just didn't want to see the disappointed look on his mother's face. Tang Tianbao had promised Duan Hong that he would bring Yu Meng home, but he couldn't. He simply couldn't find Yu Meng. However, Tang Tianbao was a filial son and he didn't want to see Duan Hong sad, so he could only use his work to cover it up. Ever since Tang Tianbao told Duan Hong his first white lie, he had to use another lie every day to cover up his previous lie. It was very tiring. Sometimes, even Tang Tianbao himself had forgotten the lies he had just told.
However, there was nothing he could do about it. He did not want Duan Hong to be angry, and even more so, he did not want to see her unhappy appearance.
”Why is your unit so busy?” Yu Meng is pregnant, but you know what, so you can't take a few days off from that female boss. Furthermore, Yu Meng has just recovered from a serious illness, so she will be dragged down by them sooner or later. ” Duan Hong's complaint was not unreasonable, ”If it really doesn't work, I'll go to your unit tomorrow and talk to your leaders. The rules and regulations are customized by humans, so they should at least embody a bit of humanity, right? ”
Every time Tang Tianbao heard Duan Hong's complaints, he would feel extremely nervous. After all, lying was something that couldn't be wrapped up in paper. Once the matter was exposed, everyone would lose. Tang Tianbao knew the seriousness of the situation, so he began to bombard Duan Hong with one lie after another.
”Mom, you definitely can't go to our company. ”Our company's boss is very strict. Not only will your actions not help Yu Meng, but they will also bring her more trouble.” Tang Tianbao tried his best to dispel Duan Hong's thoughts. However, he could only blame it all on Xie Min. ”That female boss of our company is simply a tigress. Strictly speaking, she's very powerful. Everyone in the company was afraid of her. Besides, she was busy with it herself, and she stayed up late to work. The company is in the midst of a rapid development, and everyone is the same. So, mom, you must be sent to our unit to cause trouble. I will try my best to plead with the boss to give Yu Meng a holiday. In our unit, Yu Meng can be considered as having worked overtime. Our boss has already taken care of you. ”
”That won't do. Tomorrow night, tomorrow night. You dream of going home, and I'll make you good food. ” Duan Hong started to panic the moment he couldn't see Yu Meng.
Tang Tianbao nodded in agreement. In fact, he knew in his heart that tomorrow night would be another night where he would put on a subtle, vivid and lifelike act.
Tang Tianbao turned around and was about to walk into the kitchen. He hadn't even eaten; his body had already starved to the point where he didn't have any strength left.
”Stop.” Duan Hong suddenly said.
Tang Tian Bao turned around and asked: ”What's wrong?” Is there anything else? ”
”Tomorrow, contact Yu Meng and tell her to turn on her phone. I've been trying to call her these past few days, but she doesn't turn it on. And your phone, why did you shut it down? ” She stared at Tang Tianbao with an extremely stern expression. She suspected that Tang Tianbao was lying to him. However, it was only suspicion. She only felt a trace of worry in her heart.
”Yes.” Tang Tianbao was probably dragging his long voice to stall for time. His mind was rapidly spinning. He was thinking a lie, a lie that could hide from Duan Hong.
Finally, he came to a sudden realization and came up with a plan.
”Mom, this is the company's rule. Our unit's' female boss' recently issued a rule that we should not turn on our cell phones during working hours. Everyone should work together. This project is very urgent and critical right now. This is related to the company's development. Thus, the boss naturally would not dare to be careless. ”
”What kind of lousy company is this?” You're not even allowed to use your phone? ” She stared into Tang Tianbao's eyes, and once again, she started to suspect, ”Little Treasure, are you lying to mom?”
”Oh, Mom, you think too much. Why would I lie to you? This is all true. ” Tang Tianbao explained with a solemn expression as if he had been misunderstood.
”Are you for real?” Duan Hong asked.
