Perhaps Love (Chat Story)
Are You Married?
Xiao Fei was 10 minutes late for her interview, because she stayed up late just to watch the latest episode of her favorite drama.
Xiao Fei
I shouldn't stayed up late. I almost didn't make it to my interview.
When it's her turn to be interviewed she started to feel nervous and before she enters the interview room, she face the wall first and take a deep breath.
She sits properly infront of the interviewer.
After few minutes of question and answer. She felt relieved because they seemed to like Xiao Fei but that's not the end of the interview. One of the interviewer asked her.
Xiao Fei talked to herself "So the rumours are true, they will not hire you if you are not yet married,no matter how good you are if you are not married yet then it's over."
"Then we will contact you in few days regarding your application, if we found out that you are not yet married, we will disqualify your application and it may give you a negative impact on your future job applications."
Xiao Fei talked to herself again.
Xiao Fei
" This is one of the biggest company in the country, I'm doomed if they found out I'm not yet married, I shouldn't say yes. What's with the president of this company?Why he wants his female employees are married? Is he g. . .gay?" I heard the president of this company is male but I never saw his pictures on the internet. He never accept any interview or appear in public. He must have a secret."
After her interview she walks to the nearest bus stop and went home to catch up on her sleep.
When she arrived home,she saw a very expensive car outside their house. The first thing that comes on her mind was that her mother borrowed a large sum of money and the person that her mother borrowed from is here.
She immediately went inside to look at the situation but she was surprised when she saw her mother laughing with another woman who looks the same age as her mother.
Xiao Fei
What is going on?
Her mother stood up and introduce her one and only daughter.
"She is my daughter Xiao Fei."
The other old woman smile at Xiao Fei. Xiao Fei also smile and greet her.
Xiao Fei
"Hello, Auntie. I'm Xiao Fei. Nice to meet you."
"Don't call me Auntie, Call me mother or mom."
"I'll explain to you later. We just need to wait for my son. He is on his way here now."
After few minutes the old woman's son arrived.
She saw the man's expression and she knows that he was forced to go to their place.
They all seated in the living room. and the old woman starts to talk.
"Now. both of you are here. Let's discuss about your incoming marriage."
Because I'm Zhang Lei.
"You two are at the right age now." The old woman said to Xiao Fei and Zhang Lei.
Zhang Lei
I thought we just have to visit your old friend,I didn't know you are setting me up in a marriage, before you just sets me up on various blind dates and now it's marriage.
Zhang Lei
Mom, How many times I should tell you that I'm not interested in having a relationship and even more in marriage.
Xiao Fei
Hey. She is your mom. Stop acting like a child who is having a tantrums because he doesn't get what he wants.
Zhang Lei
Miss. It's my family matter. Don't involve yourself here.
Xiao Fei smirked at Zhang Lei.
Xiao Fei
Why are you not interested in having a relationship? even marriage?
Xiao Fei's mom choked while drinking her tea.
Her mom pinched her on the side because of what she said.
Xiao Fei
Mom, I'm just asking.
Zhang Lei
I'm not gay. It's my choice why I don't want to get married.
Zhang Lei's mom said to her son.
"If you don't what to get married, I will remove you from your position. Besides I still have the power."
"The two of you, Go outside and know each other more. Comeback after an hour."
Zhang Lei
"It's cold outside. I'll just stay here."
Zhang Lei
Okay we will go outside.
Zhang Lei
Hey, You. Follow me.
Xiao Fei
I have a name and why should I follow your order?
Zhang Lei
Because I'm Zhang Lei.
Zhang Lei
Do you know what happens when other people didn't obey me or follow what I said?
Xiao Fei
I don't know and I don't wanna know the reason.
Zhang Lei
Follow me outside while I'm still in the mood.
" Zhang Lei don't show your bad temper here."
Zhang Lei just grab Xiao Fei's wrist and drag her outside the house.
Zhang Lei
I saw a public park near here before I went to your house, Let's go there.
No one talks while they are heading to the public park.When they arrived they both seat on the swing.
Zhang Lei
If my mom asked you about the marriage later when we get back, don't agree on it.
Xiao Fei
They might be crazy if there are some people who will like you to be their husband? I'm not that crazy,okay.
After Xiao Fei said that she remembers what she said earlier in the interview.
Xiao Fei
What is your job?
Zhang Lei
Why? Planning to agree on that marriage?
Xiao Fei
I just had an interview earlier and I badly want to work in that company.
Xiao Fei
and the weirdest thing is that one of the qualifications is that the female employee must be married.
Xiao Fei
The President of that company must be gay. He would be easily jealous if he found out that the male employees is having a good relationship with the female employees that's why he put up that kind of qualification.
Zhang Lei
Do you know who is the president and CEO of that company?
Xiao Fei
I don't know, I only know he doesn't like being in public that's why he doesn't have any pictures online, or maybe he is hiding something from the public?
Zhang Lei
He just recently became the President and CEO of that company and he is very busy to accept any interview or magazine interview, that's why there are no photos online.
Zhang Lei
And most importantly,he is not gay.
Xiao Fei
"How did you know?"
Xiao Fei
Did you saw him already?
Zhang Lei
Want to meet him?
Xiao Fei
Yes. Who doesn't want to meet a successful person in their life? He is the kind of person I really envied, At his age he can do whatever he wants in life and achieve his dreams easily, while me I need to work hard put a lot of efforts to achieve my dream.
Zhang Lei
Having too much pressure is not easy. Having that position in a company is a very huge responsibility don't envied that person too much.
Xiao Fei
I feel like you know that person really well. Are you close to him?
Zhang Lei
Tell me more about yourself.
Xiao Fei
Why? Are you gonna use my shortcomings to convince your mom not to get married?
Zhang Lei
Yes. so tell me more about yourself.
Let's Go
Xiao Fei
Xiao Fei. 31 years old. I didn't graduate in a very prestigious university but I'm proud where I graduated because I learned not just academically but also learned about life.
Xiao Fei
I had so many previous jobs before I apply in that company I dreamed of.
Xiao Fei
I became a cashier in a fast food, delivery girl, part time tutor, clerk, receptionist. . .
Zhang Lei
Why didn't you apply to that company after you graduate?
Xiao Fei
Because of someone. I was so inlove to that person that I even followed him and forgot what I really want. After he rejected me I resigned and find another job. I don't care what kind of work it is as long as I earn enough money for my mother as you all know my dad left us without saying anything to us and we found out he has a new family.
Zhang Lei
I thought you never had a boyfriend?
Xiao Fei
I easily fall in love and everytime I fall in love I confess to them, but all those confession I made, I always got rejection. After my 10th rejection, I realize that I think I'm cursed because no one falls for me the way I fall in love to them, that time I decided I will never fall again and decided not to get into any relationship or get married.
Xiao Fei
I'm tired of rejections. All I want is to be with someone who also loves me but I realized that it's hard to have that kind of dream.
Xiao Fei
You? Did you experience any rejections from your crush?
Zhang Lei
No. I was the one who always reject when someone is confessing their feelings.
Zhang Lei
But I never experienced falling for someone.
Xiao Fei
Really? Is your heart okay? never fall in love at all?
Xiao Fei
I kinda envy you. Never experienced rejections.
Zhang Lei
Rejections is not all about love. I experienced it also but not related to love.
Xiao Fei
Remembering those times that I confessed it's so embarrassing and if I have a chance to tell my past self I will tell her that she is stupid to do those things.
Xiao Fei
I will never do that again, because I don't want to fall in love again.
Zhang Lei
Do you have time now?Are you busy?
Zhang Lei grab her and started to walk very fast.
Xiao Fei
Where are we going?
While Zhang Lei is looking at his watch.
Zhang Lei stopped and turn around and look at Xiao Fei seriously.
Xiao Fei
I said where are we going?
Zhang Lei
Civil Bureau to register our marriage.
Zhang Lei
Let's go before they closed.
Zhang Lei just drag her because she was so shocked that she froze on the spot.
