Geng Xiaoqing dreamed of reuniting with her boyfriend, and this dream came true before the Qingming Festival.

After the Spring Festival, Geng Xiaoqing's department came to a "parachute". The man was tall and beautiful, probably because she had been practicing ballet for many years, and she had a slender neck and slender limbs. She wears a high ponytail every day and looks very smart. She also has a nice name, called Chen Xi.

Geng Xiaoqing originally had no feelings for her, but vaguely felt that it seemed like a competitor had come.

It wasn't until Chen Xi said that she was from the coastal city of Gangcheng that Geng Xiaoqing was shocked.

There are hundreds of people in a huge company, and there are really only a handful of people in Hong Kong. But why is it that there are two people from Hong Kong City in this core department?

Geng Xiaoqing doesn't want to have Gangcheng people around her, and subconsciously, it seems that every Gangcheng person can get a glimpse of her secret.

From that moment on, she decided that she couldn't be friends with this Chen Xi.

But after learning that the two were fellow countrymen, colleagues "enthusiastically" matched the two. So, after Chen Xi introduced himself, they coaxed Geng Xiaoqing to take care of this fellow countryman. Chen Xi's beautiful eyes widened, and he asked innocently, "I graduated from Gangcheng No. 2 Middle School, where did you graduate?"

Geng Xiaoqing is most annoyed by reporting to her family like this, in the final analysis, she still can't calmly face the fact that she was born in a third-rate middle school, and she is not good at lying, so she said angrily: "I graduated from the fifteenth middle school." ”

"Oh, that's not easy. ”

Chen Xi simply agreed and did not ask any more questions. But Geng Xiaoqing felt that Chen Xi didn't continue to ask, but was just taking care of her face. Because all the people in Hong Kong City know that the 15th middle school is a very bad high school.

Because he hated Chen Xi's sense of superiority, Geng Xiaoqing pondered all day long how to drive her away.

Chen Xi is a smart and diligent girl, she comes early every morning, and arranges the conference room properly before the meeting, and the leader can always hand in any information he wants as soon as possible. Her personality is much more easy-going than Geng Xiaoqing, no matter when, her hearty laughter can always be heard, and her colleagues like her very much, which makes Geng Xiaoqing very uncomfortable.

If that's all it takes, Geng Xiaoqing just keeps a distance from her, but Chen Xi wants to be close to Geng Xiaoqing, and when she eats in the cafeteria, she often sits next to Geng Xiaoqing and greets her warmly. Geng Xiaoqing agreed without being salty, trying to force her to go away with indifference, but Chen Xi couldn't notice her thoughts.

Chen Xi likes to talk to his colleagues about his hometown, and the first time they had lunch, they ate dumplings, and Chen Xi talked about the mackerel stuffed dumplings in his hometown. She said it vividly, as if she was writing a high-scoring essay: "Oh, my grandmother wrapped the dumplings small and exquisite, and as soon as she put them in her mouth, the fresh fragrance of the fish immediately spread throughout her body, and the nostalgia was cured at once!"

Colleagues listened with a smile and swallowed silently. Chen Xi turned his head and asked, "Xiaoqing, you say, which is the best dumpling restaurant in my hometown? Da Niang dumplings on the Yellow River Road......?

"I don't know. ”

Geng Xiaoqing ate and said neatly.

Because she knew that the places Chen Xi said were all very prosperous areas in Hong Kong City. That also means that Chen Xi is probably from the "rich area" of Hong Kong City, and she is showing off her superiority intentionally or unintentionally.

The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing, and Chen Xi, who was talking endlessly, was also dumbfounded. But Geng Xiaoqing didn't take any remedial measures, she ate indifferently, and she didn't care what happened in the outside world.

A male colleague laughed exaggeratedly and said, "Hong Kong City is also a big city, you two live in different places, and the hotels you go to must be different!"

The male colleague wanted to play a round, but Geng Xiaoqing ignored it, smiled slightly, and continued to eat her meal. Chen Xi almost lost her expression management, she restrained herself for a while before she asked with a smile: "Then, Xiaoqing, where does your family live?"

Geng Xiaoqing didn't want to mention his high school, let alone where his home was.

She put down her chopsticks and said unceremoniously: "The worst urban village in Hong Kong City, my home is there." Even if I told you, would you go there?"

The tone was very unfriendly, and the atmosphere among colleagues dropped below freezing. Geng Xiaoqing hadn't finished eating yet, but he picked up the plate, said "everyone use it slowly", and left without looking back.

Chen Xi gritted his teeth, but when he raised his head, he still smiled and said to his colleagues: "It's me who is wrong, I am too out of bounds to ask that." ”

As soon as she said this, her colleagues waved their hands and said that she wanted to be too kind. Then, they talked about Geng Xiaoqing's shortcomings, and there was only one central idea - they had endured Geng Xiaoqing for a long time.

Chen Xi advised her colleagues to be generous, and she said sweetly: "It's possible that she doesn't like her hometown, after all, it's a small city." Maybe she's withdrawn by nature! Since we're colleagues, we have to get along well. I believe that with everyone's care, she will definitely become cheerful. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, the department held a meeting, and Gu Leming said before that just recently, she wanted to organize a "hike" for her colleagues in the department. When asked about everyone's suggestions, Chen Xi took the lead in speaking: "Let's go to the suburbs of Beijing to climb the mountains! Spring is coming, flowers are blooming in the mountains, and everything is recovering. We have been in the city for a long time, and when we go to the suburbs to climb the mountains and have a close contact with nature, our bodies and minds will be healed. Besides, mountain climbing is a very physical exercise, and in this process, we encourage and support each other, and the moment we reach the top, we will definitely feel an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the conference room burst into sparse applause, and some people even let out "wow" compliments. Geng Xiaoqing also nodded in agreement, and said half-jokingly: "Chen Xi's composition level is very good, right?"

I don't know if this is Geng Xiaoqing's overture, Chen Xi smiled even sweeter, and appropriately showed off his advantages: "Although it's not good to say this, I do like to write, and I have won some awards before. ”

Whether it was true or not, everyone erupted in exclamations again. Geng Xiaoqing turned his pen and said with a smile: "Most people who like to write are more romantic, but for our job, rigor is more valuable." ”

Chen Xi couldn't laugh all of a sudden.

Before asking "why", Geng Xiaoqing said: "It's just spring, the weather is still very cold, and the mountains are even colder. Moreover, it is necessary to wait until the spring flowers bloom and everything recovers, and then after the Qingming. Now that the mountains are bare, there is nothing, and we can't cook in the mountains, what else can we do but starve and freeze? We finally have a group activity, so that we won't be hungry and cold, and we will be in the mountains to remember the bittersweet feelings, right?"

Geng Xiaoqing said it very reasonably, and others also agreed, but unfortunately, she was not as sweet and lovely as Chen Xi, even if everyone agreed with her point of view, they did not support her as much as they supported Chen Xi.

Chen Xi was not convinced, and said: "I am also thinking about the company, climbing the mountain to save money!"

Geng Xiaoqing lowered his head and smiled: "What is the budget, have you calculated it?"

......

Chen Xi was unwilling to be asked like this, and forcibly continued: "Mountaineering, as long as the ticket and the cost of the chartered car, what about the rest......"

Geng Xiaoqing still smiled and said: "As I said just now, there is no picnic on the mountain, what should I do if so many people eat? The distance is far away, and I may not be able to go back and forth on the same day, how much is the cost of accommodation? In addition, what if I am injured on the mountain, or catch a cold, causing some 'non-combat attrition' and affecting my work? Have you calculated these explicit and implicit costs?"

Chen Xi was finally speechless when asked, she bit her lip secretly, she could see that she was very angry and faceless, but she still tried to keep her smile smiling, and her smile was as bright as possible: "I'm just talking, it's a brick throw, everyone has better ideas, can you say it!Xiaoqing, then what do you think?"

Geng Xiaoqing then distributed the information in his hand to everyone and said: "This is the plan I made, let's take a look first, it's not feasible." ”

When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, but they were more admired. In such a short period of time, Geng Xiaoqing actually listed three plans, including indoor, outdoor, entertainment, and military expansion. Perhaps, she has consulted with a company that specializes in team building.

Gu Leming looked at it and said approvingly: "I think, we don't need to say anything, let's vote directly, and choose one of Geng Xiaoqing's three plans." ”

Although others have a lot of dissatisfaction with Geng Xiaoqing, they still recognize her work ability, and they joke that with Geng Xiaoqing here, their work content is much easier. Geng Xiaoqing just smiled lightly and didn't take it too seriously. Chen Xi also smiled, but the muscles on his face were very stiff.

At lunch time the next day, Geng Xiaoqing was still eating alone, and Chen Xi came over with a plate again. This time, Chen Xi asked bluntly: "Xiaoqing, what year are you taking the college entrance examination?"

This question is very bad, Geng Xiaoqing paused for a short time, and then said: "In 2011." ”

"What a coincidence, I also took the college entrance examination in 2011. Chen Xi stroked his hair and said, "I said, how can I be so familiar with your name." It turns out that you are the only student admitted to Peking University since the establishment of the 15th Middle School, which is really amazing. ”

The sense of foreboding became stronger and stronger, and Geng Xiaoqing didn't know what she wanted to say. Chen Xi said to other colleagues very lively: "After we finished the college entrance examination, Xiaoqing has become a celebrity there!"

Geng Xiaoqing clutched the spoon tightly, and Chen Xi's voice was very cheerful, but it gradually became distant. Geng Xiaoqing's brain was blank, and he vaguely heard her say: "Hong Kong City TV reported that Xiaoqing's family is very special, and it is really not easy for her to be admitted to Peking University under such difficult circumstances." ”

Obviously, colleagues have focused their attention on "the family is very special", and curious eyes are projected from all directions, and Geng Xiaoqing's cheeks are hot. What she was worried about finally happened, a fellow in Hong Kong City, easily destroyed the character she had been running for a long time.

"Hey, what are you talking about, so happy?"

It was Gu Leming's voice.

Geng Xiaoqing regained some of his spirit and forced himself to raise his head. Gu Leming stood opposite her, smiled at her, and then said to Chen Xi: "Xiaoqing is indeed not easy, he almost grew up on his own without a father and mother, so he is so independent and thinks about things so thoroughly." ”

Chen Xi smiled awkwardly.

Gu Leming said again: "However, Xiaoqing is relatively strong, and he never wants others to know about the difficulties in life. Now that you all know, you have to help her more in the future and be considerate of her, understand?"

Everyone nodded, but Geng Xiaoqing's eyes were moist. What she cares about is never the "difficulty", but the "sore spot". Fortunately, Gu Leming covered it up in a few words.

She wanted to say "thank you", but Gu Leming had already left. Her eyes were full of tears, and for the first time she showed a weak posture. However, when her eyes met Chen Xi, she became fierce again.

That look seemed to say, the old lady will kill you sooner or later.
