Chapter 48: Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone
Lin Li's ex-girlfriend said too much, and said less and not less. Whether it's abusive or amorous depends on how you look at it.
Every time you fall in love, there will always be true feelings more or less. As for how deep the feelings are, there are occasional worries, but they don't come back to death.
Even before becoming the rich second generation, there were not many empty window periods. But he didn't dig a corner, and he didn't step on a few boats. In fact, many times, it is not he who proposes to break up.
Anyway, when a relationship ends, another one will always start just right. This is also the basic emotional state of young people in the current city.
Today's one is his girlfriend Shen Yanni in college.
Some time ago, she asked Lin Li to borrow money for her father's treatment. This time I came to the city to make more money and applied for a job transfer from the unit.
After graduating from university that year, he returned to his hometown at the behest of his parents and passed the exam to enter a public institution. In that small county town, for an only daughter from a well-off family like her, this road is very suitable. Parents don't expect you to make much money, they just want stability, decency, and ease.
Coupled with the bonus points of having a college diploma and beautiful appearance, Shen Yanni was once the best choice for her daughter-in-law who was favored by aunts and uncles in the blind date circle.
She is a sensible child in the eyes of her elders and does not exclude the objects introduced by her parents. After all, those who can pass the level of their parents are on par in terms of family background and economic status.
Today's marriage and love market is no longer a frightening old social habit. Both men and women, or even two families, are in the same class, have similar social circles, and have similar cultural levels, which is indeed the cornerstone of a happy marriage.
After all, there are more only children now, and the relationship between parents and adult children is closer than that of the previous generation. The marriage of young people is no longer a matter for two people.
Shen Yanni tried to look at a few boys, and she felt that it was not bad, but she always felt that something was missing, and she never made up her mind.
Last year, my father suddenly fell ill, and the delicate girl on weekdays was pushed into the quagmire of reality.
Overnight, my mother seemed to age a lot.
Originally, I thought that according to the path planned for me by my parents, I could spend my life as smoothly as they did. Who knew that the sudden blow made her realize that her seemingly stable life was actually very fragile and could not withstand too much wind and waves.
The family is not without money, but my father's condition deteriorated rapidly, and the best treatment time was delayed in his hometown. When I arrived at the provincial hospital, the operation was imminent, and a large amount of medical expenses were urgently needed. This money requires their family to do their best.
In order to save her father, she and her mother can do whatever it takes. But even if you sell all the houses, it will take time. Most of your relatives and friends are very enthusiastic, but they all rely on their wages to eat, and no one can break the bank to help you.
Just when she wanted to cry without tears and was desperate, a college classmate saw her circle of friends and persuaded her to go to Lin Li to borrow money.
It wasn't until that time that she knew that her ex-boyfriend, who was squeezing the bus and eating in the cafeteria with her, turned out to be a super-rich second generation.
Regret it?
At least not at the time. She didn't even think about it, as soon as she got Lin Li's phone number, she immediately called.
It wasn't until she saw the extra number of zeros on her account that she burst into tears.
As for how the money came from, no matter how much her mother asked, she didn't tell the truth. I just mentioned that there are a few rich families in my college classmates, and everyone got it together for her.
Her alma mater is in the economically developed city of C, where there are many nationally renowned family businesses. The mother believed it and didn't think much about it, but just told her to sell the extra house in the family as soon as possible, and pay back as much as she could.
Frankly speaking, Shen Yanni changed jobs this time, in addition to earning more travel expenses and paying off the money early, she really wanted to try to see if she could get back together with Lin Li.
Back then, together, boys and girls, college campuses, youthful. broke up later, and it was not that there was any irreconcilable contradiction, but that the life plan was different.
Lin Li was not a very ambitious boy when he was in school, his grades were not the best, and his mixed club was not the best. Anyway, what about ordinary college students, he is like him, not a man of the hour.
Family conditions, it seems, are also very average. Shen Yanni almost never heard him mention his parents, but often talked to his grandparents on the phone. She knew that Lin Li's family was in City C, and she had to go back to accompany the old man every weekend. At that time, she thought, why is this boy so homesick?
Lin Li's daily expenses are not large, whether it is for himself or Shen Yanni, it is an ordinary consumption level, not stingy but not extravagant.
Falling in love with this kind of boy is easy and happy. But if she thinks about marriage, she agrees with her mother's opinion and feels that she is not mature enough to give her a so-called clear future. So I broke up at that time, and I didn't have any pain.
Now that I think about it, everything seems to have a plausible explanation.
What did he have to fight about? Everything on the college campus should seem very small to him. His indifference is more like knowing the responsibilities he will take in the future, while he can still be an ordinary person, he can enjoy the simple time of youth.
As for being a big spender. Nothing is just desperately showing anything. Lin Gongzi's family has too much money and doesn't need it.
Oh, yes. I used to contact through my mobile phone, but I didn't feel much of it. As soon as we met today, Shen Yanni became even more confident that she must take advantage of her transfer period to work hard. It doesn't matter if she likes Lin Li's money, who doesn't love money, and her father's illness can't be cured without money.
And to be fair, the change in Lin Li himself is indeed obvious. The temperament of the whole person and the demeanor of dealing with people are completely different from the past.
The environment has a great impact on people. Shen Yanni couldn't help but think of her blind dates. After a few years of work, my belly is a lot bigger. Those who have achieved a little in the unit are easy to install, and those who have a little money at home are easy to float.
The sense of comfort in a small county town makes it easy for them to become frogs at the bottom of the well. In a relatively closed working environment, the competition is not so big, and with a little achievement, I feel that I have done my best. With a low consumption level, no pressure and no motivation, and a young man with a house and a car, he feels that his life is complete.
Shen Yanni didn't realize at all that what she dislikes now is also something she once identified with and integrated into it. In short, at this moment, she has completely distanced herself from it and wants to open up a new path in her life.
It was at this moment, at this moment that she saw the Donglin headquarters.
After saying goodbye to Lin Li, Shen Yanni inquired all the way, bypassed an intersection, and finally saw the Donglin Group building complex in front of her.
It was just time for dinner, and people came out of it one after another. A group of young men and women walked past Shen Yanni with a smile and a smile, and the Donglin logo on their chests flashed in the sunlight and beckoned to her. Looking at the backs of this group of people, Shen Yanni was even more imperative.
She encouraged herself in her heart, and walked towards the main building without hesitation.
After communicating with the security guard, and showing the bag she was carrying to the other party, Shen Yanni successfully arrived at the hall on the first floor and found the front desk directly.
"Hello!" the sister at the front desk greeted her with a professional smile.
"Hello, my friend works here, he's not here. I have something for him, can I put it here for you first?" Shen Yanni showed her the paper bag.
"Absolutely. But if it's fresh, ask him to pick it up in time. ”
"Thank you. In fact, it is a kind of dim sum, which we loved to eat when we were in college. Vacuum-packed, no problem. Do you want to try it?" Shen Yanni took out a delicate small box from the bag and handed it to her sister at the front desk.
"No, no, thank you. Please ask your friend's name and department so we can verify the identity of the recipient. ”
"Forest. Well, I don't know what department I'm in. ”
