Chapter 2 Goodbye, Big City
Using cosmetics to cover the heavy dark circles under her eyes, You Yishu showed a smile in the mirror that was more ugly than crying, and then went out to work. In this world, no one wants to get along with money, even if her boyfriend splits her legs, she can still live a sense of security with enough money.
"Director You, you're here. Manager Wang asked you to go to her office. As soon as You Yishu sat down at the desk, Xiao He, the secretary of her immediate boss Wang Xuan, called over, and after hanging up the phone, You Yishu sorted out the design plan made before the business trip, and then got up and went to the manager's office.
Since entering the company, You Yishu has followed Wang Xuan, and in the past six years, You Yishu has long been familiar with the boss's resolute style.
"Xiaoshu, sit. I know you're feeling bad these days, and I'm sorry to call you back so early. Wang Xuan's makeup is delicate as usual, but her eyeballs are full of red bloodshots, this strong woman probably stayed up all night.
"Sister Wang, my grandfather's funeral has been dealt with, don't worry, I was originally going to come back today. You Yishu sat directly opposite Wang Xuan, obviously aware of the other party's abnormality, but so many years of experience told her: It's better not to know some things.
Wang Xuan unnaturally picked up the pen and poked it a few times on the paper in front of him, and finally spoke: "I remember that before you went on a business trip, you were still in charge of a project. ”
You Yishu willingly handed over the prepared plan, Wang Xuan took it, but did not open it.
"Xiao Shu, I know that you have put a lot of effort into this project, but," Wang Xuan lowered his eyes, "let Xiao Xu do this case in the future, you have been very tired recently, you can take the opportunity to take a good rest." ”
"Why? You also know that this plan will be completed soon! Sister Wang, you know my ability, even if I am tired and tired, I can bear it, and there is still a period of time before the deadline of this project, do you think it is appropriate for me to withdraw at this time?"
Wang Xuan got up, closed the blinds casually, half-leaned on the desk, looked at You Yishu's eyes and said softly: "Do you think I want you to quit?" No, I think only you can do a good job in this project, I even quarreled with Vice President Huang yesterday for this matter, but, no way, Xiaoshu, sometimes my arm really can't reach my thigh, Party A pointed out that Xiao Xu came to take over this project, otherwise why do you think your plan always can't pass?"
The implication is clear: the privilege of the relational always overrides the ability.
"Sister Wang, do you know, since I came to the Demon Capital, I have done my best to do everything 200%, just because I want to prove that I am irreplaceable through my own ability. In the past six years, I have also been cut off by others, before I thought that it was because of my own lack of ability and poor planning, so those projects would be taken away by others, but later it turned out that no matter how much I paid, I couldn't spell someone else's father's words. ”
Originally, You Yishu thought that she would tremble with anger, but she didn't, she said this calmly, and her heart suddenly became clear. "Sister Wang, I'm an orphan, I can't fight my father and mother, all I can rely on is myself. Over the years, working under you, you have grown me step by step from a clueless newcomer to a newcomer in the workplace, and I am very grateful to you. ”
"Xiaoshu, I know the disappointment in your heart now, but you have to firmly believe that although we can't rely on our parents, we still have each other and ourselves to rely on. The number of times you rely on relationships is limited, but you can eat for a lifetime by your own ability. Wang Xuan looked at her little sister who had followed her all the way, and was inexplicably a little worried in her heart, her performance today was really abnormal.
You Yishu suddenly laughed, laughing and laughing, tears overflowed from her eyes. Wang Xuan dragged the tissue box and pulled out a few in a bit of a panic, this was the first time she saw You Yishu crying, even if she was scolded for her work and reworked a lot, You Yishu never had red eyes.
"Xiaoshu, don't worry, the profit of this project itself is very low, and I will fight with the leader for your deserved part. Next ......"
"Sister Wang, to be honest, I don't want to have a next time, I'm a little tired. After You Yishu finished speaking, she lowered her head.
Continued to stay up late, grandpa passed away, boyfriend cheated, and the project was cut off...... However, in just a few days, it seems like centuries have passed to You Yishu.
You Yishu covered her face with her hands, and the emotions that had been suppressed for several days began to gradually get out of control, and a feeling of exhaustion that she had never felt before spread from the depths of her heart to her limbs......
Just when this rootless feeling filled his heart, You Yishu's eyes suddenly flashed in front of his younger brother's timid eyes, at this moment, the younger brother who he once hated the most turned out to be the last barrier to support You Yishu, although he was different from ordinary people in some places.
On the way back to the magic capital before, You Yishu deliberately searched for information about autism, she originally wanted to send her younger brother to the sanatorium in the magic capital, so that someone could take care of him, and she could also go to see him at any time, the important thing is that if you pay for it, you can have no guilt. It's just that a sudden change of environment may cause autistic people to lose control......
If she put her only blood-related brother in a strange environment just to make herself feel at ease, she would definitely be at ease for You Yishu before, but now she has an inexplicable sense of guilt.
"Sister Wang, I never thought that my grandfather would leave suddenly, I worked hard to make money in the magic capital, and I gave my grandfather money every month, just to make them comfortable, always thinking that the future would be long, and I would go back to accompany my grandfather when I had the ability in the future, and I promised him to accompany him to see the Yangtze River Bridge and visit the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum during the Chinese New Year, but these could not be realized. After You Yishu finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at Wang Xuan and said steadily: "Sister Wang, thank you for your companionship in the past six years, which made me feel the warmth of my sister, and next, I want to go back to accompany my younger brother, and let him feel the happiness of having a sister." ”
Wang Xuan's eyes widened in surprise, in her impression, You Yishu will always be like a female fighter in armor, strong and assertive, but it is the first time she has seen You Yishu who is so soft.
"Well, as long as I'm in this company, I'll always have a place for you. I'm always welcome to come back whenever you want. ”
With the help of Wang Xuan, You Yishu quickly completed the work handover and completed the resignation procedures. When walking out of the company with personal belongings, You Yishu stood silently downstairs for a long time, and then turned to leave.
Since she did not buy real estate and extra items in the magic capital, You Yishu only packed her temporary belongings in the hotel and sent them back to Taoyuan Village, and then traveled lightly and embarked on the high-speed train back to her hometown in Jiangsu.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon when I took the bus and bus back to Taoyuan Village. At this time, the people in the village are already busy in the fields, the wheat jointing and heading, the green vegetables have sprouted, and there is a vibrant scene everywhere.
You Yishu walked briskly through the streets and alleys, and walked up the flat mountain road. Grandpa's old house was built halfway up Taoyuan Mountain, surrounded by lush trees.
In the past, when the mountain wind rose, You Yishu was always afraid when she listened to the sound of the wind, worried that there would be a mountain monster intruding, but her grandfather always told her the story of the mountain monster saving people with a smile, which made her love and fear the mountain monster, and also had a strong interest in the hills around the old house. Now walking on the way home, You Yishu remembered the little story that her grandfather had made up to coax her, and involuntarily curled the corners of her mouth.
When I came back last week, the time was too rushed, and You Yishu didn't notice the strong spring in the old house. And this time, You Yishu finally noticed that the two Lingxiao flowers at the gate of the courtyard had already drawn out their buds, and they were blooming recklessly on the courtyard wall at the moment. This is specially planted by grandpa for You Yishu, just because of the sentence "Ling Ling likes Lingxiao flowers the most", grandpa ran a lot of flower markets to buy perennial flower seedlings, just to let You Yishu see the blooming Lingxiao flowers as soon as possible.
Standing outside the courtyard gate, You Yishu suddenly felt a little sad, in the past nearly 30 years, her grandfather had obviously given her so much love, but she was jealous of the part her brother had gotten, under the blindness of jealousy, she had been resentful in the past 20 years, and she had never even had intimate contact with her brother.
Now, only his younger brother is left who can rely on You Yishu for his life, and fate is really tricky.
You Yishu gently pushed open the gate, and a layer of fluffy weeds had grown in the yard, and the cold breath came to her face. The door of the hall was half-open and closed, and there was no movement at all. On the roof of the wing house to the west stood an elm tree that grew at some point, green and waving in the wind.
"Binbin?" You Yishu walked into the hall, a smell of urine came to her nose, she tentatively spoke, but did not get a trace of response.
The furnishings in the hall are the same as when my grandfather was alive, with the old table of eight immortals leaning against the north wall, the table being wiped clean, and the tea tray and tea set for hospitality are placed in the center. In the past, You Yishu liked to sit next to her grandfather with a small cup while her grandfather was drinking tea, listening to all kinds of strange stories, but that was eighteen years ago.
At this time, You Yishu remembered his younger brother who was left at home a week ago, and he didn't know how he came over this week, was he hungry?
"Binbin!" You Yishu searched all the rooms, but still found no trace of his younger brother, only found a piece of leftover steamed buns in the east wing where he slept every day, although he is eighteen years old this year, but his mind is still a child, if he gets lost, it will be troublesome! You Yishu is a little anxious.
Thinking of entrusting his younger brother to You Jianguo before leaving, You Yishu immediately dialed You Jianguo's phone. "Second uncle, I'm Ling Ling, Binbin is gone!"
You Jianguo was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "Ling Ling, are you back?" I pulled Binbin to my house to take a bath today, this kid is really twisted, he can't get close to people by peeing his pants, he is stubborn and doesn't wash, and now he is squatting on the ground and crying!"
"Second uncle, forget if he doesn't wash it, I'll go over immediately," You Yishu finished speaking, and immediately went out to the second uncle's house.
