After getting into the taxi, the driver asked Chen Yi where she was going, but she didn't know, just said, "Drive forward first." Then, she flipped through her mobile phone to check WeChat, looking for inspiration for where she should go, Bai Tang was still sending a message to save her, she just replied: "When I find a place to live, please help me send my things, thank you." ”

Most of the contacts in front are not very familiar, they are after hearing about Chen Kuo's death, they sent a message to her to express "condolences and change", after turning over more than a dozen, she saw Chu Fan, since he refused her partnership request because he wanted to go to the United States with Bai Qi, the relationship between the two has been subtly estranged, and they have never been in touch again.

She clicked on her avatar and wanted to enter something, but she gave up again, looked up and said directly to the driver: "Master, drive to the street outside Guangqumen." ”

When she came downstairs to Chu Fan's house, she saw Chu Fan's car and knew that she was at home, but at the same time she saw Guo Zhongxue's car, she quickly hid behind a tree and called Chu Fan and persuaded her not to open the door.

knocked on the door, but there was no response, Chen Yi said loudly: "It's me!"

The door opened, and Kiki pounced on her and shouted, "Auntie, we thought it was Dad, so we pretended that there was no one at home-"

"He's gone. Chen Yi touched her head, looked up and saw Chu Fan, and pretended to ask casually, "What is he doing here?"

She and Chu Fan's relationship mode has always been like this - if there is an unpleasant quarrel between the two of them, there is a small estrangement, but they can't talk about who is right and who is wrong, and they can't apologize or accept the other - in this case, as long as one person makes a daily accosting gesture to another person, and the other person responds, you can turn the page of this unhappy chapter and pretend that nothing has happened.

Chu Fan first said "hi" from his throat in a particularly serious tone, and then replied disgustedly, "What else can I do for?" Don't you just want to borrow money from me, his western restaurant is now about to close after I don't help with it." ”

got Chu Fan's reaction, Chen Yi knew that the two were "reconciled", so she pushed the suitcase to the wall familiarly, collapsed tiredly on the sofa in the living room, and let out a long sigh of relaxation.

"What are you doing?" Chu Fan glanced at her big bag and asked, "Where did you just come back from?"

"Just got back from my hometown. Chen Yi replied, "Sister Fan, my father is dead." ”

Chu Fan exclaimed, "What?!"

Without waiting for her to digest the information first, Chen Yi continued, "I broke up with Bai Qi. ”

"Great!" Chu Fan gave a second reaction seamlessly, which inevitably made people stunned, and she reacted herself, and hurriedly added, "I mean, it's really good that you broke up with that selfish ghost, but why is your father suddenly gone? ”

"The main thing is that it's useless to say, and it's gone. Chen Yi smiled bitterly.

And so it is. Chu Fan sat beside her, patted her on the back and said, "Don't keep thinking about these and make yourself depressed, you can't avoid birth, old age, sickness and death, we are all middle-aged, and we have reached the age of sending away our relatives one by one, but we are still young, we have to continue to live this life." ”

Chen Yi nodded, "I understand the truth, but I just have to take it slowly, don't worry, I don't have any problems with my mental health." ”

"Then the corners of your eyes are as red as rabbits, are you crying for your father, or are you crying for Bai Qi?" Chu Fan reached out and touched Chen Yi's skin that was a little rough from tears, and muttered in his mouth, "You want to cry for Bai Qi, your father has a spirit in the sky, that can be called a grievance." ”

Chen Yi smiled at her words, "I won't cry for him in the future." She straightened up and told Chu Fan about her plans, "Now, what I'm most anxious about is that I have to find a house first, and I may need to borrow it from you for a few days." ”

"How long do you like to live, how long do you live, and what kind of house do you rent? You do it with me, and it will be enough to buy yourself a house in two or three years. After that, Chu Fan opened his mobile phone and pulled out a photo of the business license for Chen Yi to see, and said proudly, "Extraordinary Film and Television Culture Communication Co., Ltd., is it domineering? My goal is to come up with a 24-episode online drama in the middle of next year." ”

Chen Yi stood up and moved his muscles and bones and said, "I can help you, but I won't do the work in front of the screen anymore, and now ask me to act, I can't." ”

Chu Fan let out a long series of laughter, "I want you to be beautiful, and you are still acting, you go out and ask yourself, you are so old, who wants you, there is no script for middle-aged actresses now, Aunt Liu Xiaoqing still has to play a 'girl'." She added, "You don't have to go to work, just show your face when I need to, just help run behind the scenes, I have my own arrangements for you." ”

"Thank you, Lord Ron. Chen Yi turned around and bowed, thinking: I have to make arrangements for myself.

This night, Chen Yi was too tired, so she didn't lose sleep, and after waking up, she went back to her familiar area to find an agent, rented a house again, and then went straight to Honolulu English Training School.

The little sister at the front desk has changed, but she still saw Manager Cui again, when she walked through the office area, the old colleagues saw her again after a long absence, all of them were dumbfounded, looking at each other, they couldn't guess what she was doing, but the aura on her body has changed a person, no more proud, no more humble, a kind of indifference like rivers and lakes.

When Manager Cui saw her, he only felt inexplicable, "What are you doing here?"

Chen Yi said without humility or arrogance: "I want to come back to work." ”

Manager Cui frowned, "You're so funny, you left voluntarily at the beginning, do you think we will keep your position?"

"I'm re-applying, and if you're still willing to accept me, I'll start with the lowest level of instructors, just as I did when I first stepped through this door. After that, Chen Yi handed over his resume, "My work ability is quite well-known in the circle, if you reject me, then I can go to work in other training institutions, they will be happy to hire me, and directly arrange for me to be a senior lecturer or even a manager." ”

"Are you threatening us?" Manager Cui's eyes widened, a little incredulous.

"I'm just stating the facts, and besides, I'm hoping to go back to Honolulu English, otherwise I'm not going to come here today, I'm going to New Oriental or Wall Street. Chen Yi stood up and said with a smile, "I'm waiting for your call, I don't have much time, if you don't hire me after three days, I can only go to another company to ask for a job with regret." ”

Manager Cui didn't know what to do, and watched Chen Yi's departure speechlessly, and finally she called Li Qizhi, because Chen Yi was right, her professional strength was indeed enough to shake the influence of a company, and her future was closely related to the future competitiveness of Honolulu English.

After leaving the company, Chen Yi went to the supermarket to buy some simple daily necessities, returned to her rental house, looked at the forty-square-meter small house and sighed, everything returned to the original point, but she did not feel depressed, because what she could lose has been lost, destruction is accompanied by rebirth, and every day next is the work of reconstruction, from scratch, it is always exciting.

She turned on her mobile phone and transferred all her deposits to Bai Qi, with a postscript: "Return it to you." ”

After finishing the matter, she dragged Bai Qi to the blacklist and added his phone to the blacklist, she intellectually knew that everyone was an adult, and the friendship was still there after the breakup, so there was no need to make such a desperate gesture, but she was afraid that she was not determined enough, and when she saw him beckoning, she went back like a dog.

She wants to leave him completely, from body to mind, to achieve complete peeling, she will soon be thirty years old, she doesn't want to be entangled with him anymore, and she has returned to her original track for her plans for the future: work hard, earn money steadily, find a man who loves her to marry, buy a house, have a child, and live a safe and stable life - by the way, she wants to take her mother over to live with her- This last point is the latest life arrangement she has added, she didn't expect her father to leave her life track so soon, and it will be her responsibility to take care of her mother in the future.

Chen Yi cooked a dinner for herself, she opened the cheap red wine she bought in the supermarket, poured it into a disposable paper cup, toasted to the window, celebrated her return to singleness, and regained control of herself again, after a few sips, the mobile phone rang, it was Li Qizhi calling, he hoped to have an interview with her about the details of returning to the company and going to work.
