Chapter 38: Just Get Intoxicated and Wake Up
He Gu stayed in the detention center for six days. He used to think that it would be uncommon for a person to spend the New Year in a decade, but in the detention center, the New Year is even more ingenious.
Sun Qing came over to accompany him for a while, brought him some food and promised to bail him out soon.
He Gu put a dumpling into his mouth and whispered, "the same stuffing?"
Sun Qing was stunned and her eyes were red at once: "You still remember."
He Gu bowed down with some uncomfortable feelings. He did not expect that he still remembered this taste.
Sun Qing cried and said again and again: "Mom is sorry for you, your mother is sorry for you."
He Gu eye got wett, but he held back the tears: "Mom, let's have a good new year."
Sun Qing erased the tears, gave him a dish, peeled the shrimps and did what a mother wanted to do.
He Gu comforted himself, at least he was not alone this year.
On the second day of the New Year, he was released on bail, but she went to the police station to report with him.
His top boss, the director in charge of the real estate business, told him through his mother that Nanchuang would temporarily suspend him pending the judicial results for further processing.
He had already expected this disposal. If it wasn't for his mother to go to the company in advance, he would be expelled directly. A big state-owned enterprise can't tolerate such a publicity stain. Even if he can prove that he is innocent, it's involved in the Song Media. The matter was pushed to the cusp of public opinion and Nanchuang must express its position.
He has worked in this company for more than six years and although he thought about resigning many times, he never thought he might be fired.
Thanks to Ju Han, the world is so f*cking unpredictable.
His mother took him to the hotel, the house was a big no, the house belonged to Song Ju Han, he could not go back, his mother said that he would find someone to move his things out.
It's just that he doesn't want to go back and see the mess there, even though the house has the most memorable memories before he left, but he also remember the sweetness between him and Song Ju Han, he didn't want to see it run down like that.
When he arrived at the hotel, he took a shower and then leaned back on the bed. After he was mentally prepared, he turned on the phone.
Countless missed calls, text messages, WeChat and shit loads of information explosions, some concern, some inquiries and some doubts.
Among them, Feng Zheng, Zhuang Jie Yu, Gu Qing Pei and Chen Shan.
He gave Zhuang Jie Yu, Gu Qing Pei and Chen Shan a separate text, saying that he was released on bail, should be fine and then looked at Feng Zheng's text message hesitated for a long time then returned to call.
Feng Zheng's phone was answered on the first ring after He Gu press the call button and the voice was weak: "Hey."
"He Gu, how are you doing now?!" Feng Zheng's voice was full of anxiety. "I took my dad's lawyer two days ago, but I heard that your mom has already found a lawyer."
"Yes, I have been released on bail. Then I just have to cooperate with the investigation. I have a lot of evidence and people's evidence to prove my innocence, so it will be nothing." After such a chaos, why did Feng Zheng have no grievances for him, Feng Zheng is now only a friend who cares about him.
"That's good..." Feng Zheng bit his teeth. "Song Ju Han is stupid, why would he bring people to your home."
"I don't know." He still doesn't understand why Song Ju Han brought so many people to his home and harmed him in the process
"How is your company over there?"
"Suspended."
"He Gu, come to me, I will give you double the Salary, leave everything else and say we just work well together, aren't we friends?"
"Feng Zheng, I am very confused now, I can't think about these things." No matter what, he can't go to Feng Zheng, he is not willing to face this person.
"I am waiting for you, I have your place here anytime, even if you don't want to come, what do you want to do, I am willing to invest in you, not just because of you, but also because you are a reliable person."
"……Thank you."
Feng Zheng paused. "He Gu... don't you know He Gu, my heart always worries about you don't ignore me."
He Gu opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. He just wanted to stay away from Feng Zheng, because Feng Zheng's existence would remind him of the discomfort of the year and how sad and ridiculous this six-year time period was.
In addition to going to the police station, He Gu hasn't left the hotel for a few days, his mother is afraid that he would be feeling stuffy and wants to take him out for dinner, he said he will not go. Like every person who has been law-abiding for the rest of his life, he feels a bit ashamed at being in a detention center, he felt as if the whole world is staring at him, even though Song He has tried his best to block the news and no one of his photos has flowed out.
However, there are too many people on the Internet and he has already come out. He is one of the protagonists in Song Ju Han's fight in the hotel last time. Plus this happened in his home, added by the rumor of Song Ju Han's homosexuality, the name "He Gu" It has also become one of the hot spots of the gossip corners. He feared that he would step out of the hotel and someone would recognize him. Although he knew it was just his own reverie, he still didn't want to see anyone.
On the third day after he was released on bail, he saw the news and Song Ju Han was released on bail.
The police station was quite lively that day.
In order to avoid causing congestion, they deliberately let Song Ju Han leave at 6 am, but this is the case. There are hundreds of people, media, fans and justice people holding banners to protest Song Ju Han's moral stain as a public figure. It was almost out of control.
Many people say that Song Ju Han's behavior for years has been unfavorable. The frustrations, accusations, insults and frustrations that have not been tasted in the past 26 years have all been tasted in one year. Just his Weibo, the message exceeded 100,000 and more than half of them were reprimanding him.
Many netizens do not believe that Song Ju Han is innocent in this matter. They refer Song He's energy to influence judicial justice. The whole thing is not just an entertainment news, but a storm rising to a more turbulent height.
In the torrent of public opinion, a small voice began to appear, saying that Song Ju Han was taking the blame for his own peers, because the incident occurred in the home of the person named "He Gu", with a detailed analysis, as if the issue was investigated.
When he saw this statement, He Gu only felt very ridiculous, but he could not laugh.
On this day, he sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down the street from the 30th floor. He suddenly found that he had not been so idle since he was in high school.
His father passed away. After his mother left, his life was dedicated to learning. He went to college and he was filled with various internships and social practices. He was more conscientious after work. He was used to being busy everyday. After all, in this world, it seems that only work really needed him.
But work doesn't need him now.
No one is irreplaceable, people are like this and things are going on the same.
The doorbell rang and he guessed that Gu Qing Pei and Zhuang Jie Yu had arrived and got up and opened the door.
"Surprise!" Zhuang Jie Yu was carrying two large plastic bags in his hand. He was sucking a lollipop at first sight and excitedly raised his face in front of He Gu
Zhuang Jie Yu has recently become popular and he has also brought sunglasses, but the bright smile can not be obscured by any camouflage.
Gu Qing Pei said with a smile: "We bought a lot of food and brought a card game."
He Gu smiled a little: "Great, I am bored."
"I feel bored too, I will take you out to play, although I have recently been on the street and I am easily recognized, but it is okay if I cover my face a little."
"I don't want to go out." He Gu took the bag.
Gu Qing Pei patted his shoulders and walked past: "He Gu, don't think too much, you go out boldly, no one knows you."
He Gu laughed at himself: "That is."
"And, people who really know you know what kind of person you are, you don't have to go too far."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu." He said, "Good smell."
"Quick and fast, we have dinner and once we have finished eating and we are going to be playing cards." Zhuang Jie Yu slapped his hand exitedly. "I haven't eaten meat recently since I had to lose weight. I am dying for meal."
They put a table full of miscellaneous food, Zhuang Jie Yu also brought a portable Bluetooth mini speaker, put music on the phone, the three people ate while chatting, Zhuang Jie Yu is very funny, Gu Qing Pei humorous, an amused He Gu laughed, he couldn't remember how long it had been since he laughed so openly.
After the meal, they played a card, Zhuang Jie Yu continued to laugh and swear and He Gu and Gu Qing Pei let him, He Gu heart was a little envious of his vitality, as if the sky falling is not worth worrying about.
At night, Zhuang Jie Yu had something to do and he left.
Gu Qing Pei went through the room to pack things up, then personally soaked two cups of tea, sitting on the sofa by the French window and smiled: "Sit, let's talk adult stuff."
He Gu laughed: "The little monkey can really scream."
"He is a child please, you don't know how tiring he is." Gu Qing Pei pushed a cup of tea to the front. "I was very worried before I came, but I can see that you can adjust yourself. I can rest assured."
"Hey, the sky is the only lost bowl. I have already wanted to tip it in the past few days." He Gu spent these days which he had a lot of time to think about his future. He sorted out the property and counted the house and inherited stuff left by the parents. There are seven or eight hundred thousand yuan's in savings. Even if he can't find a job for a while, there is nothing to worry about. Besides, his mother still left him a very wide road. Although most of the road is easy to walk, he still hesitates to leave.
In fact, what made him feel sad was not that he lost the job itself, but that his hard work and energy in this job were lost. He can't think that he likes this job much and he often feels very tired and unfair. But after so many years, every bit of accumulation has only achieved him some micro-achievements and status today, but it is almost destroyed for the mistakes of others people. He can't help but feel sad.
"You can think so and even if you lose your job, you don't have to feel pity for yourself." Gu Qing Pei said confidently, "You are losing a cup of copper bowl rice. Come to me, I will give you gold bowl. We are private company, not so much carrying about anything else, the only thing that matters is only strength of your work."
He Gu nodded. "I have really considered it in the past few days, but now I am not in a good state and I am confused. I will give me some time to sort out my troubles."
At the moment, if Nanchuang says he can't stay, Gu Qing Pei is the best choice. Despite his years of work, his social skills have grown a lot, but he still feels a rejection to the strange environment and people. He hesitated for a long time without resigning. In fact, he is afraid to dare to imagine about adapting to an environment and what a colleague will be, so where there are acquaintances, it will make it easier for him to integrate.
"No problem, I have said that I will answer you after the new year, I am not in a hurry."
He Gu drunk his tea. His heart suddenly became a little flustered. He didn't go out without asking: "Gu, have you ever loved someone?"
Gu Qing Pei was stunned, apparently he did not expect that He Gu would ask such a sensible question when he was always cautious. He seemed to think about something, but he soon returned to reality. "No, it was 10 years. In those ten years, I put all my energy into my work, missed a few good people and now I have too many concerns and too few impulses, but I haven't realize what it feels like to be buried in love."
He Gu looked at the window, plainly said: "It's very good, I think people can insist on understanding one thing in this life, even if the one is successful, but I have been confused of what love is for so many years, nothing is clear."
All of a sudden he lost two major points in the past six years, thinking about life is so impermanent, there are some... interesting situations.
"He Gu, the so-called self-success, the standard in everyone's heart is not the same. I pursue fame, so I gave up feelings and many hobbies, but some people pursue emotional satisfaction or spiritual freedom, material and fame for themselves. For some it's not so important. He Gu, you are the latter, although you may not believe it by looking at the appearance, but I know that you are the latter, you must know it yourself. You pursue what you want and I pursue what I want. What are the essential differences between things? As for the lack of seeking love, there are many objective factors that cannot be affected by the difference in results and the proof is that the pursuit of love is wrong and correct. Are you saying yes?"
He Gu meditate for a long while and the voice trembled a little: "What if you find it in the end and it is not worth it."
Before he knew the past issue about Song Ju Han and Feng Zheng, he never felt regret. He chose a muddy road and made himself feel embarrassed. He was both uncomfortable and regretless. He even thinks that if he jump out of the emotional pattern to see what on the other side, pain is just a kind of emotion. If people can be happy, angry and helpless, why can't they suffer too?
In order to excuse his stupidity, even such an idealistic thought has spread out, but nothing can change. In the end, he can only comfort himself and experience the benefits that "love" itself brought to him, such as occasional joy, occasional satisfaction, occasional sweetness, he gave himself countless steps and finally he was liked by someone. His best friend put together a slap and landed it on the face.
At that moment, all the steps disappeared. He fell from his self-sacrificing high platform and his face was swollen sore and shameful. He thought that he would forgive himself if he persisted without regretting himself. In fact, he still regretted it at the end.
There is no more desperate consciousness than this.
Gu Qing Pei looked at the hidden pain in He Gu eyes and could not bear it. He said very seriously: "Then I congratulate you, you are only 28 years old and found it.... It is not too late." Gu Qing Pei raised the teacup.
He Gu smile, lifted the teacup and cheered gently.
"We should be drunk with alcohol drink and let this cup of tea be solved."
Just get intoxicated and wake up.
