Chapter 11: It Was You
Dressed in a loose wool suit and cotton clothes, Lin Xi carried a shopping handbag and waited for her at the gate of Yan Hualan's community to go to the supermarket to buy New Year's goods.
Aunt Yan and her grandson do not have close relatives and friends in Shanghai, according to Aunt Yan, her grandson is very busy with work, and she has little time to buy New Year's goods before the year, and in previous years she also bought online, but she still prefers to go to the supermarket to feel the taste of the New Year. In this regard, Lin Xi agrees, she prefers the real scene to the excitement on the monitor. But the mother Chu Yun is a person who can catch up with the trend very much, everything loves to buy online, this year's New Year's goods, as early as Double Eleven, Double Twelve and the year-end promotion, were purchased by Chu Yun, and some of them were digested, as for what Chu Yun said, "convenient, cheap and good", Lin Xi, as a senior Internet operator, can only agree with the first item.
Yan Hualan is different from other old ladies, she loves blue and white porcelain objects, very elegant, and the shopping bag she matched for herself today is the colorful blue and white during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, which looks quite festive.
Andy Lau's "Wishing you prosperity" is playing in the supermarket, with the red and purple shelves of goods, men, women and children wear it, and sometimes there is the sound of children's laughter.
"It's like the New Year. Yan Hualan held Lin Xi's arm, and Lin Xi pushed the shopping cart, looking like a family.
"Xiaoxi, what are your plans for the Chinese New Year?, do you want to go out for a walk?" Yan Hualan asked while carefully selecting the ball lettuce.
"I won't go this year, I'll be at home, and I'll go to work at a new company after the New Year. Lin Xi also picked up one, which is a necessary ingredient for making salads, but I didn't expect Aunt Yan to like it too.
When Yan Hualan heard this, she turned her head happily: "Have you found a new job?"
"Well, it's a big company, and my colleagues and bosses seem to be very capable and easy to get along with. Lin Xi recalled that on the day of the interview, Li Renyu, Wenwen, and his top boss Fu Junhuai had a happy smile on their faces.
"That's good, that's good, such a happy thing, let's buy a bottle of wine to celebrate!" Yan Hualan said and put the picked ball lettuce into the shopping cart, and dragged Lin Xi to the wine cabinet area.
"Nozomi, do you prefer white wine or red wine?"
"I can do it, I don't have much research on wine. ”
"Okay, then I bought it according to my own preferences, I prefer dry red, half-juice wine is not pure enough to add too much, and the variety is snake dragon ball." ”
Yan Hualan was talking to herself while picking wine, Lin Xi didn't expect Aunt Yan to look very quaint, but she had studied wine.
Yan Hualan saw Lin Xi's puzzled face, and said with a smile: "Although wine originated in Persia and flourished in Italy and France, in fact, as early as the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian introduced grape varieties and winemaking technology when he went to the Western Regions, and in the Tang Dynasty, the popularity of wine reached its peak. ”
Yan Hualan held the wine bottle and tilted her head: "Grape wine luminous glass, if you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately." ”
"Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times. Lin Xi on the second half, the two looked at each other and smiled, as the so-called life contract is no old or young, and Lin Xi, meeting Yan Hualan is a flower that blooms in the wind when the heart is lonely, and with Yan Hualan, Lin Xi is a delicate and tender green spring under the sunset.
"Xiao Xi, we'll wait here, he'll be there soon. Yan Hualan said that he was his grandson, Lin Xi nodded, pushing a cart full of New Year's goods, and the two were waiting at the entrance and exit of the parking lot.
The royal blue Ferrari stopped in front of Lin Xi, and the man in a gray coat who stepped out of the car was Fu Junhuai, who chatted with Lin Xi on ZF-link for more than an hour a few days ago!
Lin Xi turned her head to look at Yan Hualan in a panic, but Aunt Yan had already greeted her grandson happily, and introduced with her eyebrows fluttering: "Xiaoxi, this is Xiaoxi that I often mention to you." ”
Lin Xi was a little confused by Xiaoxi Xiaoxi for a while, but at this time, he couldn't care about it, and hurriedly leaned over and nodded: "It's good to pay." ”
"Hmm. Fu Junhuai nodded in response, took the shopping cart in Lin Xi's hand, and the two sorted out the New Year's goods into the trunk together.
"Hahahaha, it turns out that Xiaoxi is the boss who is both capable and easy to get along with in Xiaoxi's mouth. Along the way, Yan Hualan understood the beginning and the end, and also answered the doubts in Lin Xi's heart.
It turned out that Fu Junhuai's parents had been sent to the northwest countryside in the movement of intellectuals going to the mountains and going to the countryside, and gave birth to Fu Junhuai in the northwest, and his mother happened to be surnamed Xiang, so he was named Fu Xiangxi.
couldn't refuse it many times, but Lin Xi was still held by Yan Hualan and walked into the restaurant together.
"What kind of food does Xiao Xi like to eat? Yan Hualan asked the waiter to hand the menu to Lin Xi.
"I can do it all. ”
"It's okay, let's order two dishes each, how about it. Yan Hualan was extremely happy today, Fu Junhuai was still calm as before, and tidied up the coat on the back of the chair for Yan Hualan and put on a dust cover.
Lin Xi held the menu, thinking that Yan Hualan loved Sujing, I had heard her say that her ancestral home was in Suzhou, so there should be nothing wrong with ordering a few Suzhou and Hangzhou dishes.
Squirrel Guiyu, Biluo shrimp, Yan Hualan heard Lin Xi report the name of the dish, and slapped Fu Junhuai next to her with her wrist, with a smug face: "The two dishes ordered by Xiaoxi happen to be my favorite food!"
"Smoked bamboo shoots and bacon, double pepper fish head, soup bean sprouts. Fu Junhuai closed the menu and handed it to the waiter.
"Xiaoxi wants to eat spicy food today?" Yan Hualan looked at Fu Junhuai suspiciously, and Fu Junhuai was noncommittal.
Lin Xi was secretly happy in his heart, they were all his hometown dishes, he hadn't eaten them for a long time, and he had to restrain himself after a while, and he couldn't behave too rudely.
The brain said that it had received it, but the body was still very honest, the two dishes that Fu Junhuai ordered were just a superficial taste, but Lin Xi was feasting, and Yan Hualan was happy in her eyes.
"Xiaoxi, how do you know that Xiaoxi likes spicy food?" Back at home, as soon as Fu Junhuai changed his clothes, Yan Hualan started the forced confession mode.
Fu Junhuai pretended to smile mysteriously: "You guess?" Yan Hualan's crooked idea in his heart was clear to him, Ms. Yan was in such a good mood today, it didn't hurt to tease her.
As soon as Fu Junhuai was about to sit down, Yan Hualan's back was greeted with a knowing blow.
"Come on, you don't know when you are interviewed. Yan Hualan is a delicate person, since Lin Xi is about to become Xiaoxi's subordinate, then Xiaoxi should have guessed from her personal information that she is "Dayin Xisheng".
Fu Junhuai sat down and picked up the business magazine on the coffee table, pursed his lips lightly, raised his eyebrows and nodded.
"What do you think of Xiaoxi?" Yan Hualan tilted her head to look at Fu Junhuai.
"The professionalism is good, the response is fast, and there is enough self-motivation, as for the ability to work under pressure, it is still necessary to observe after joining. Fu Junhuai's answer was already meticulous, but the answer was not what he asked, Yan Hualan took off the magazine in his hand angrily, and pretended to be angry and glared at him.
Fu Junhuai was amused by the old lady's play, and a Beijing slumped on the sofa.
"Ms. Yan, I'm recruiting employees, not relatives. ”
"It's not a conflict, it can be a subordinate, or a girlfriend. ”
Fu Junhuai shook his head helplessly: "Ms. Yan, I'll make you a cup of ginseng tea to calm down." ”
"I don't want it, I want to drink red wine!"
Lin Xi took the remote control to change the channel, and his mind was full of the bacon and the devastated fish head on the table.
"Ah!!h
"Black sweet, mom is so embarrassed today. Lin Xi hugged Hei Tian and touched its head. At this time, the mobile phone on the coffee table vibrates.
Jiao Ao: I'm!
Jiao Ao: The rat spirit gave me a B- in my year-end evaluation!
Li Yirong: I thought I could get A, but it turned out to be B.
Jiao Ao: It's disgusting, what do you say to PK with other departments, and then we were PK down!
Li Yirong: Hey, the world is hot and cold......
Looking at the complaints in the WeChat group, Lin Xi was also a little puzzled, when he left, he had already completed the evaluation for the employees of the department, why did he have to re-evaluate?
Lin Xi: Everyone has been re-evaluated?
Li Yirong: Well, the whole company has re-evaluated, regardless of department, comprehensive PK.
Jiao Ao: It's not fair! The evaluation focuses on the transaction volume! We are the content line, you can evaluate the drainage data and conversion data, and directly evaluate the transaction volume! Our content is not paid!
The more Jiao Ao spoke, the more excited he became, as the so-called people go to tea and cool, Lin Xi only felt guilty and powerless at the moment.
Li Yirong: Hey, the boss also agreed to the rat spirit's proposal, and he was powerless.
Rat spirit is the nickname they gave CMO Liu Jun in private, Lin Xi didn't know it when he was in office, and after Lin Xi left, they all complained unscrupulously. Rat spirit, Lin Xi recalled Liu Jun's face, which is quite appropriate.
Jiao Ao: Boss, I'm so tired, Yirong and Mr. Zhen are covered, I'm just a lamb to be slaughtered, I feel that it won't be long before I will be on the layoff list.
Zhen Zhaohui: Ahem, there shouldn't be you.
Lin Xi noticed that there was actually product director Zhen Zhaohui in this group.
Li Yirong: As long as you keep your mouth shut and put away your eyes, you can still breathe for a while.
Jiao Ao immediately rolled his eyes in the group again.
Lin Xi: I will take a look at the new company after I join the company, I am also taking over a new business, and the team is also being built.
Jiao Ao: Thank you, Boss!
Jiao Ao sent another expression of bowing.
Jiao Ao: Yirong, let's go together when the time comes! Throw this mess to the rat spirit, he doesn't know anything about the content system, let him play with himself!
Zhen Zhaohui: Ahem, you take care of yourself, Yirong has me.
Jiao Ao: Show affection, die fast!
Li Yirong replied with a shy expression.
Since the last annual meeting, Li Yirong and Zhen Zhaohui's affairs are clear to a small range of people, and in the face of Lin Xi, who has left the company, they don't need to hide it.
Although this kind of relationship is not recognized by most people, but so what? In the short life of a few decades, you can never live according to the wishes of others forever, and the courage to put aside the world's vision and filter out the voices of prejudice is worthy of respect.
