Chapter 1 I Have Bread, Can You Give Me Love?
The weather in Shencheng in April is the best air quality and the most comfortable temperature of the year, with the slightest white clouds floating in the blue sky, the afternoon sun is gentle and warm, and the green plants in the community are lush and exude green vitality.
Luo Xue condescendingly stood on the 30th floor and watched the cars coming and going downstairs, the sun outside the window was shallow, the sun in the window was warm and soft, these days I was upset, everything was extremely unsightly, the bid of the department colleague Tian Lun was put on the desk, lying quietly, as if laughing at the inaction of the snow.
A well-done bid, the power can not be underestimated, but, in this society, the bid is only part of the role, and part of the most important is the rules, this rule is a circle, everyone lives in the circle, intertwined, no one can see whose true face, but are all involved in a bid, in fact, by the relationship network in it, fight for your life, win the bid, smile, do not win the bid secretly cheer yourself up, continue next time.
Luoxue called Tian Wai to the office: "Is there any hope this time, what is the chance?"
Tian Lun said: "There is hope, and there is an opportunity, but the tender has not yet been issued electronically, but if you don't go, you won't even have a chance, I want to fight for it!"
Luoxue's heart is as bright as a mirror, but looking at the appearance of the newborn calf of the Tianlun who is not afraid of the tiger, he smiled slightly, in fact, in such a world, there is an invisible network - the relationship network, this net is crisscrossed from the horizontal, and the shadows rise and fall.
Luoxue nodded: "Then come on! I'll wait for your good news." β
Tian Lun happily exited Luoxue's office, Luoxue's eyes looked out of the window, there was actually nothing to see outside the window, just foggy, she remembered the matter at hand now, and said to the assistant: "Prepare something for me and I'll go out." β
The assistant prepared nothing more than a box of black tea, and my friend loves black tea.
Luoxue and friends talk very happily, in the provincial capital for many years, Luoxue with her own character alone, from nothing to now, the hardships during the period are needless to say, but there are many friends who make Luoxue feel very warm, her friends are often the kind of people who usually don't see each other, and they will send carbon when they meet.
Luoxue often thinks that I must have done a lot of good things in my previous life to accumulate the blessings of this life, and they can always push me when I need help, so that I can see hope in the midst of difficulties.
Luoxue thought that there was no way out with the product alone, and then took the service, so that it could last for a long time.
Luoxue thought about taking down the service of the customer's unit, so that the product was sold, the service was done, and the customer also had a fixed maintenance personnel to ensure the timeliness of the work.
Friends saw her plan felt feasible, immediately made a decision, the two discussed a morning, friends are standing in the position of the unit, this kind of thing that is beneficial to the unit and both of them will of course agree, Luoxue also saw the importance of the later service, the current IT industry is full of flowers, has been flooded, especially the Internet has already been the traditional store impact of the seven, seven, eight, eight, the original IT street is crowded, even the thief is not shy of people, holding a small thin iron hook, a light hook, the wallet is in his hands, the current shopping mall in addition to the staff or staffγ
And the IT industry is now the threshold for entry is very low, people who come in regardless of whether they have technology, as long as they can get the list, regardless of the quality and the later cost of operation, a person can do it, as long as you can get the list, you will work hard to reduce the price, overwhelming the last, the profit is small and pitiful, if you don't reform there is really no way out.
The sun shone on her face, the breeze blew her long hair, this wind-like woman, gentle and strong inside.
Xiao Yue's call came, Luoxue stood in the sun, a little distracted in a trance, she suddenly felt that she and Xiao Yue actually had their own circles, and the circle they shared was just a compromise, a platform for him to participate, and the performance could not go away, only he and he knew it, and the level of this platform was not important, she and Xiao Yue's acquaintance and acquaintance were also attracted by each other, and the circle just provided an opportunity for him to meet. And her circle, Xiao Yue's circle, is like the moon during the day to each of them.
Big circle and small circle, everyone lives in the circle, everyone has their own circle, as long as they keep their original intention in the circle, look upward, and do not force each other, life will be self-satisfied.
Luoxue was in a good mood, driving her small Mercedes-Benz out of the parking lot in a beautiful small arc, she had to hurry back to the company to make the plan more carefully, and then start to implement. In this way, at least for a few years, no one will be able to intervene, binding a long-term customer, which is very important to her, and having a fixed customer will have a fixed resource and income.
The company has been a trend of steady growth for so many years, and now it is not only seizing the market with the traditional industry but also seizing the market with the Internet. If a company can't even guarantee the welfare of its employees, there is no need for employees to advance and retreat with the company.
Life is just a few decades, it is not easy to do something, she has nothing to rely on, she has been alone in this city for many years, and now it can be said that she does not have to worry about food and clothing, but people can't always stop at food and clothing.
She suddenly remembered that she hadn't transferred money to Xiao Yi this month, Xiao Yi was the daughter of her classmate Yulan, Yulan was also a playmate when she was a child, Yulan's husband Qiu Ming was one level higher than them, Luo Xue was not optimistic about them at the beginning, and she once opposed Yulan marrying Qiu Ming, but Yulan was like being poisoned, no one could make sense, and finally ended up taking poison and dying.
Luoxue thought of Yulan's departure, her heart was full of guilt, Yulan often sent her messages two days before she left, but because she was busy with work, there was no match to talk, when she found the abnormality, Yulan was no longer there, Yulan left a message to her: "Xue, you must marry a man who loves you, it doesn't matter whether this man has money or not, when it is important, he is willing to pay for you, is willing to work hard for you, if he is not willing to pay for you, I would rather not marry!"
The impact of Magnolia's departure on Luoxue's heart is extremely great, life is so fragile, just a thought, and since then, Luoxue has cherished her little life.
Three years after Yulan left, Qiu Ming also left this world because of long-term alcoholism, leaving a pair of children to be taken care of by Yulan's two old men.
She will transfer a little money to Yulan's children every month, although it is not much, but she can also support the child's tuition and add a little family, the child is getting older, and the expenses will be more and more, so she will give more every month in the future. While waiting for the red light, she sent a WeChat message to Xiao Yi, transferred the money to Xiao Yi, and asked Xiao Yi to plan the expenses by herself.
Life is so beautiful, it is better to live well than anything else, Luoxue cherishes her little life very much, and cherishes everyone who is related to her.
Humming the old song of the 70s "Through the Moon Full of Flowers", Luoxue parked the car in Wanda's parking lot, took the elevator and wanted to go to the supermarket to buy some spare supplies, and when she walked in the lobby of the supermarket, she met a woman with a child, carrying a large bag in her hand, holding the child in her arms, and accidentally scattered something on the ground, and Luoxue helped pick it up: "Alone?"
"Well, my husband went to work. β
"Did you drive?"
"Ready to take a taxi back. β
"If it's not far away, I'll send you, how can you get there alone with a child and all these things?" Luoxue couldn't help but take the things in the woman's hand, and walked towards the parking lot.
She is not a good person, but when she meets someone who needs help, she will take the initiative to reach out, Luoxue sent the woman home and left without pausing, when Qin Luoluo reacted, he wanted to ask Luoxue's name, but Luoxue was gone, everything seemed to have a certain number in the dark, Qin Luoluo didn't expect that this strong woman would have an intersection with their family!
Back to the office, lying quietly on the table needs her to sign the payment application, her company is not very large, but some large payment items need her to sign, she sighed deeply, this is nearly one million accounts, a few days ago because the customer is not timely, she also went to the bank, and President Zhou chatted for an afternoon, want to find him to approve the payment, and then the finance said that a batch of money, no need to borrow for the time being, she is relieved.
"Sister Luo, there is a project to open on Monday, you have to go with us! This time the legal person must be there!" Tian Lun said to Luo Xue
"Okay, let's be together on Monday! are you all ready?"
"All right!"
The opportunity is left to those who are prepared, they have followed this project for a year, and the equipment has been tried for a year in the early stage, and they are bound to win this tender!
Luo Xue thought that Xiao Yue would come back, there was a trace of sweetness and expectation in her heart, every time Xiao Yue came back, it was the happiest moment for her, Luo Xue rarely mentioned the circle before, but since she met Xiao Yue, Luo Xue heard Xiao Yue talk about the circle, and Luo Xue paid attention to it.
Xiao Yue said: There should always be a circle where people go, or there is no place to talk and entertain, so that Luoxue began to pay attention to the circle with Xiao Yue, she tried hard to integrate into Xiao Yue's circle, but when she saw that people were crazy hilarious, singing, drinking, shaking dice, dancing, the discotheque released an exuberant atmosphere, perhaps because of the effect of alcohol, people who usually look at the temperament have changed their roles, coquettish, unrestrained, bold, rough, Everyone released their usually suppressed emotions and put on various shows in such a glamorous circle.
When Xiao Yue and her friends drank and sang, Luoxue was lonely, she felt that this was not what she wanted, she just wanted to stay quietly with Xiao Yue, talk a few words, make jokes, and spend a rare opportunity for the two to get together, but she didn't want Xiao Yue to be too lonely, so every time she met Xiao Yue, she wanted to make an appointment with a few friends, after a long time, the circle was a little bigger, and everyone would have it, Luoxue began to care about other people's opinions, began to pay attention to what others would say, and began to care about who was close to Xiao Yue, so Luoxue began to be unhappy, even with Xiao Yue, she was hesitant and restless, a lot less fun, and she couldn't say what she wanted to say, I don't want to do things happily.
Falling snow thought, what's wrong with me? Is there a problem with my character? Time has turned gray in the world of falling snow, foggy, and falling snow is circled.
Luoxue sat lonely in the corner and watched Xiao Yue happily circling with everyone, hi, she didn't have a chance to talk to Xiao Yue, sitting in the corner of the Di bar, her eyes came and went with Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue's singing was very good, when it was Xiao Yue's turn to sing, Luoxue's eyes lit up, straightened up, and listened to Xiao Yue's singing attentively.
He Feifei came over and said, "Sister, why don't you sing?"
"I don't have all five tones. "Luoxue actually liked singing a long time ago, but since she started doing things, she rarely sings, basically accompanies customers, listens to customers, she just listens attentively, and then applauds vigorously!
He Feifei said: "Look at how well Brother Xiao sings, go, you sing a chorus." I'm going to give you some songs!"
"Forget it, you see how happy they sing, and I've really not sung for a long time, I'm going to be out of tune. Luoxue smiled and refused.
Xiao Yue was asked by Hu Yanyu, a friend of the club, to participate in the golf club league on Saturday, because Xiao Yue's skills were recognized as good in the circle, Luo Xue was very disappointed, and she said to Xiao Yue: "I want to go with you." β
Xiao Yue said: "People are not familiar, not very good!"
Luoxue said aggrievedly: "I knew you were going to answer me like this!"
Luoxue watched Xiao Yue drive away, and thought angrily, only to meet once or twice, people made an appointment to go, I don't know if I was about to make a date, I don't know if I want to make a date, be careful that the club is broken.
At night, Xiao Yue called to say that her arm was strained, and Luo Xue thought sadly, is it the reason for the curse in my heart? Why is it not that the club is broken, but that the arm is injured?
The falling snow has been in a trance all day: you must see Xiao Yue at night and see Xiao Yue's condition. When he saw Xiao Yue, he was still lively and jumping, but his arms were twisted and he was a little immobile, and Luo Xue looked at him funny, a little funny and a little distressed: "I'll help you pinch it, rub it and see if it can get better?"
"Where's the rub?"
"Where it hurts, where it hurts. β
"I hurt here. Xiao Yue smiled.
When they were together, it was still the tacit understanding of the past, but Xiao Yue's arm was injured, which was a little inconvenient, she lay beside Xiao Yue, held Xiao Yue's hand and thought: The circle is just a temporary circle of hearts, dazzling, isn't this person still around? However, Luoxue forgot that she was also a person in the circle, and she worked hard to squeeze into Xiao Yue's circle, just to meet Xiao Yue, just to have more time with Xiao Yue.
"Honey!"
"Hmm. β
"Honey!"
"Well, what's wrong?, what do you want to say?" Xiao Yue asked
"I don't want to say anything, I just want to call you like that!" Luoxue is happy as long as she is with Xiao Yue
"Okay, okay?" Xiao Yue looked at her sideways
"Alright. "The snow is already sore.
But Xiao Yue rubbed the tip of her nose, which made her itch all over, and she didn't dare to move.
"Your arm doesn't hurt anymore?" said Luoxue was a little anxious.
"Oh, I forgot if you didn't say it. Xiao Yue rolled over and bared her teeth.
"Hmph, that's what happens if you don't take me with you. Xue Xue said angrily
"How can I take you there, our relationship has only just begun, and I don't want others to know. Xiao Yue said
Luo Xue felt a little bored in her heart: "I just can't do it?"
"No, you see I have a family and the nature of my work is different, I don't want others to know, besides, I really like you, I want to stay with you for a long time, if our affairs are exposed, it will not be good for us. Xiao Yue said
"I don't need to explain, I don't want anyone to know about our relationship. Luo Xue was embarrassed in her heart, what is she?
"I have to go back, it's been a bit long to come out, and I said I'd come out to buy something. I'll be back with you next time. Xiao Yue got up and freshened up.
"Okay!" Luo Xue replied with a low brow in her heart for a while.
Luoxue helped tidy up Xiao Yue's clothes and lightly imprinted them on Xiao Yue's face, "Go back early, pay attention to safety!"
"I'll send you back! Xiao Yue said.
"I don't need to send it, I'll go back by myself and buy medicine by myself. Go back quickly, the family is waiting. After the carnival, it was lonely, and after the snow sent Xiao Yue away, she got up and went home, and bought some medicine when she passed by the pharmacy, and she didn't want an accident.
She sighed softly, before she knew Xiao Yue, she was used to being alone, taking on it alone, thinking alone, making decisions alone, and she didn't have too many expectations for emotions, but after knowing Xiao Yue, she often expected, expected to be able to see him, some things are like drinking to quench her thirst, the more she can't get it, the more she craves it, she clearly knows Xiao Yue's situation, but she can't suppress her emotional desire, so she struggles in the entanglement, and the more she struggles, the deeper she falls.
She stood at the door of the drugstore, her eyes were a little uncomfortable from the street lamp, and she lifted her foot a few times before finally entering the drugstore.
"What kind of medicine do you want to buy?" the clerk walked over enthusiastically
"IβI'll see. "Luoxue's face turned red, although it was not the first time to buy this medicine, but every time I was embarrassed. She turned around a few times, picked up the medicine and quickly walked to the cashier to pay the money, left the pharmacy and sat in the car, picked up the water cup and swallowed the medicine. Just as he was about to start the car, Xiao Yue's phone called: "I'm home, where are you? Have you bought medicine? You are not allowed to give me the whole big fat boy out, I can't afford to raise it." β
"I was in front of the pharmacy and just ate. "Luoxue was ready to say that I raised it myself, but the words still didn't come out.
"Go back early, I'll be back next week. Xiao Yue hung up the phone on the other end. The sourness welled up in her heart, the more she loved, the more she wanted to love, the more she wanted to love, the more she was afraid of losing, she felt that she didn't know her current self anymore, in this deformed love with Xiao Yue, she fell deeper and deeper, no future, no result, but she selfishly wanted to have a future, but she was afraid of hurting, hurting herself and hurting others, so, she was terrified, but the relationship with Xiao Yue was like a poppy, knowing that it was toxic, but she couldn't quit, and she longed to see him, eager to be with him every moment, although the time of each meeting was short, it made her unforgettable, unforgettable, so, she hid all the sharpness and chose a soft obedience, Because she was afraid of losing, sometimes she thought, let's live like this, it's good like this, as long as I can be with him, it doesn't matter which way of getting along.
Every weekend, Xuexue's body and mind are like a time clock, desperate to see Xiao Yue, she gave up the opportunity to go out shopping with her girlfriends, gave up the opportunity to socialize, and waited quietly for Xiao Yue to go home, although Xiao Yue returned to her for a maximum of three hours, but these three hours were the happiest time for Xue every week.
She likes to play with Xiao Yue, although her playing skills are not good, she likes to eat barbecue and drink beer with Xiao Yue, although she doesn't like to drink beer, but with Xiao Yue, she is happy, laughing happily, and playing tricks happily.
The days were spent in the self-deception of falling snow, she and Xiao Yue's secret lasted for three years, at first they were like people in love, they would make video calls in WeChat every night, telling each other's thoughts, listening to Xiao Yue talk about various things, as time went by, I don't know if the enthusiasm coefficient decreased or they couldn't escape the shackles of time, they chatted less and less, and there was no information about each other for several days.
Luoxue sometimes flipped through WeChat in the dead of night, looked at Xiao Yue's avatar in a daze, and told her thoughts about Xiao Yue alone, she is not a person who loves to entangle.
In this relationship, she understands her embarrassing position, so she rarely takes the initiative to disturb Xiao Yue, let alone ask Xiao Yue for anything, Xiao Yue will meet her every week, and the time to meet is pitiful, but Luoxue is looking forward to the poor time, although the time is small, at least she can see him, isn't it?
In such a materialistic world, their emotions have transcended the boundary, if the days are spent peacefully, then Luoxue is also willing, willing to be his underground lover quietly, anyway, Luoxue does not rely on anyone, she has her own bread, then he gives her love, but can Xiao Yue give her love? Luoxue is sometimes in a trance.
