Tenant's Secret Love

Chapter 143: That's a good song, Elopement

I immediately messaged Renee: "What time tomorrow afternoon?"

"Is 2 o'clock okay?"

"No problem, we'll definitely coordinate with your schedule."

This time it took a long time for Renee to reply: 'The last time, it was Mark who leaked it to you, wasn't it?"

I felt that Renee still seemed to be upset about the previous incident, so I hurriedly explained, 'Yes, but Mark was passive throughout the whole incident."

"Don't worry, I'm not that narrow-minded. After all, he also lost the opportunity to advance to the top of Baoli because of your leak. You owe him, and I'll help you make up for it."

This message made me feel a little strange. Before I could reply, Renee sent a second message: "Of course, I value their work experience and abilities more. I believe they will definitely create value for Jumei."

My heart calmed a little: "They will, I have confidence in my old boss and brother."

"Well, I also trust your judgment!"

Renee's message finally put me at ease. Harlan and Mark going to work for Jumei was basically a done deal, but I was still worried about Darren. Although Renee, as CEO of Jumei, had the power to appoint and dismiss personnel, the transfer of middle and senior management ultimately required the approval and signature of Darren, the acting chairman.

Feeling for the cigarette on the cabinet in the dark, I took one out, lit it, took a long drag and exhaled. Only then did I reply to Renee: "It's so late, why aren't you resting?"

"Looking at all kinds of reports... Do you have a good song to recommend, so I can fall asleep after listening to it?"

I thought for a long time but couldn't think of a song suitable for listening before going to sleep, so I replied, 'I like folk and rock, you may not like it."

"Then I'll listen to 'Elopement" instead, it

"What time is it? Do you need to tease me like this?"

But Renee went even further and sent me a voice message in which she sang the beginning of "Elope": "Dedicate your youth to the glorious city behind you, we pay the price for this beautiful dream, leave love to the most sincere girl by my side, you sing with me, you wander with me, and we will both suffer together..."

I responded to her with a voice message, of course, and then I continued where she had left off.

Then, we sang the entire song "Elopement" back and forth like this in WeChat, and then I got sleepy, and I'm sure Renee did too, but this originally heavy night suddenly became lighter.

...

The next morning I went to Harlan and Natalie's new home. In fact, I hadn't even been a guest there since they got married, which was a huge contrast to the old days when I went over there for meals every other day. I wasn't quite sure where this change came from. Maybe it was because I no longer worked at Jumei and had gone back to Xuzhou for a long time in between, which gave us a sense of distance.

Harlan and Natalie's new home is a standard three-bedroom, one-living room apartment. The modern Korean-style decor makes the whole place look very refined, and their wedding photos in the living room make the apartment feel even more like home. This is the kind of life I have longed for for a long time, but it is still too far away.

In fact, it's not that far away. At least when I was in Xuzhou, I was very close to achieving it. But now it seems that it was just a dream that wasn't quite real. In the dream, reality and fantasy clashed fiercely, so that happiness and pain coexisted.
