Chen Yi didn't want to spend too much time eating and talking about work with Li Qizhi, so she chose a café, where the two of them could have a quick afternoon tea.

When the weather was warm, she wore a black knee-length skirt and a thin windbreaker in the color of rice ears, and before she even entered the door, she had already attracted the attention of the customers sitting by the window in the store, and she bathed in everyone's gaze, as if she was stepping on the red carpet.

Li Kezhi, who was originally looking at the mobile phone screen, was affected by the atmosphere of all the eyes moving up around him, he also raised his head, and then looked straight in his eyes, Chen Yi is a beautiful woman, but he has seen too many beautiful women, if you have to count the inferior, she is not the top beauty, but her temperament is the top - not the same as the last time we met- The last time I saw her, I still had a feeling of looking forward and backward, as if she was carrying a lot of invisible burdens on her shoulders, and when she saw her again today, she threw them all away, her aura was light and steady at the same time, like a boat for the rest of her life, and like a volcano that woke up again, countless hot and dazzling fires jumped out of her, but they were not hurtful, standing and burning by herself.

Chen Yi sat down and stretched out his hand straight towards Li Qizhi, "Mr. Li, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

Li Qizhi reacted for a while, then reached out and shook her hand, and after letting go, he still had a look like he was in a dream, and he asked curiously, "Teacher Chen, what good things have happened recently?"

"There is not a single good thing, but a lot of bad things have happened. Chen Yi smiled easily and quipped, "So I'm waiting for Mr. Li to give me a good thing now." ”

Li was stunned for a moment and smiled, "You have changed." He patted his thigh, he didn't know how to deal with Chen Yi, originally the purpose of his meeting with her was to "suppress" her "prestige", whether it was coercion or inducement, he just wanted to prevent her from going to competitors to seek a job, but now seeing her "immobile as a mountain" aura, he felt that his "words" had little impact on her, it was better to be open and honest, he said bluntly: "I want you to go back to the company to work." ”

Chen Yi nodded and smiled, "That's great, we're looking forward to the same result." ”

Her smile had changed, and it used to be like a spring shrouded in mist, and now it was even more cloudy above it, and the fog that had been born out of her confusion was now the mystery of her charming eyes.

Li Qizhi's curiosity about her was full, and he asked: "Teacher Chen, I want to take the liberty of asking, before you said that you resigned for love, so why do you want to come back to work now?"

"For yourself. Chen Yi replied frankly, "In the past, I said it was for love, but in fact, it was also for myself, because I made my own decisions, and I was choosing the life I wanted." ”

Li Qizhi admired her reply a little, but he was used to being overwhelmed in words, so he couldn't help but mock, "What about your love? Now you are the main job of love, and you have a part-time career?"

"As my boss, you only need to care about whether my professional ability can meet your needs, and if you really care about my private emotional life, I don't feel the need to hide it. Chen Yi said without changing his face, "I have broken up with my boyfriend, and in the foreseeable future, I will not meet love again, so my main job is to live my life well, and a good life is brought by money, so I need this job, and I will also try to get more remuneration through work in exchange for a better life, in other words, now my main job is: career." ”

Shocked by her upbeat face, three seconds later, Li Qizhi finally couldn't help but applaud, "You are very suitable to go to colleges and universities to give speeches." ”

"You forgot that I was originally a teacher. Chen Yi smiled indifferently, "Speaking calmly and leisurely is a skill that I rely on for a living." ”

Li Kezhi asked: "Now I know that your focus is on your career, but what guarantee do you have to ensure that you will not be impulsive again and resign because of love?"

Chen Yi said: "You can sign a contract with me, and even prepare the payment for breach of contract, you can decide how many years you want to sign, but I will not close my eyes and nod, the treatment is still the signing conditions I must consider, but I have made up my mind to join your team, on the one hand, it is to repay the kindness of the encounter, on the other hand, I also believe that in the environment I am familiar with, I can give full play to my personal value." ”

"I'm glad that you are my comrade-in-arms, not an opponent. Li Qizhi touched his chin, and seemed to get a good emotional feedback from the conversation with Chen Yi: he is quite happy now. When he raised his hand to speak again, he was no longer very serious, and it was very "gag" with his friends, "I'm sorry, I still want to care about your personal feelings, after all, you left the company for this, so as the boss, I have to think twice before hiring you, why do you say that you will not meet love again in the future?"

Chen Yi faced this question, her reaction was no longer as agile as just now, it seemed that it took her a little time to come to a conclusion, "Because I have passed the age of meeting love, in nearly thirty years of life, although I have been in love three times, but I have only met love once, and now I choose to let go, from now on, I just want to care about myself, love is this thing, it will come, I may provide hospitality, but I will never go 'active' to find it again-" Chen Yi said, paused again, and added, " When I say this, you may think that I am still exculpating myself and not categorically saying that I don't need love anymore, but in fact, my attitude has changed from active to passive, which has shown that I will never put love in the first place in my life again. ”

"Don't give yourself a verdict so quickly—" Li Qizhi's body leaned forward unconsciously, and his eyes couldn't hide the appreciation, "You are the best age now." ”

Chen Yi did not resume employment immediately, because Li knew that she was not ready to put her in the original company position, so she was waiting for the new company branch to complete the renovation, he abided by the past agreement, signed a five-year contract with her, and Gaoxin hired her to become the principal of the second branch of Honolulu English Training, as well as the general manager and senior lecturer, and advanced a whole year's salary to show the sincerity of the "alliance", and said that there would be a year-end bonus and stock dividends at the end of the year.

After getting the money, she listened to Li Qizhi's suggestion and added a few clothes that fit her "identity", after all, she is no longer an ordinary employee, but the "face" of the company, and then she bought a large stack of books in English on Western economics, philosophy and politics, determined to improve her knowledge level fiercely, and win the qualification certificate for simultaneous interpretation within this year, so as to prepare for the career impact that the new generation of forces may encounter after the age of 35 or 40.

Once she put all her energy on herself, Chen Yi realized that she actually had a lot of things to do, she should study more, earn more money, and it was time to work out, although her skin had not collapsed significantly, but she knew that she was aging year by year, this is the law of nature, but she could age slower and age more elegantly, so she enrolled herself in a fitness class again.

It's time to look at the house, she can't leave her mother alone to guard the empty house, but Beijing can't afford it for the time being, she thinks carefully, she can look at the houses in the cities around Beijing, and then buy a trolley, as for the license plate, think of another way, maybe you can buy an energy-saving car with a license plate first, live in a rental house on weekdays, and drive back to the house of at least 120 square meters on weekends, accompany her mother to eat and walk.

Thinking about it this way, she doesn't necessarily have to buy a house around Beijing, she can pick a city suitable for retirement, such as Hangzhou or a coastal city in the south to buy a two-story house, with her current income, she can afford it, the bigger ones are better, you can raise cats and dogs, and when she is not at home, the small animals will make her mother happy.

Wait a minute, why don't you buy both? You can buy a house first, and then buy a house, which can be included in the life plan-because I'm still young-Chen Yi was stunned by the sudden thought that popped up, yes, she sat up from the bed and looked out the window at the beginning of the lights, if a person has the most clear eyes and quick hands and feet in her life for sixty years, then she has thirty years to do everything she wants.

Chen Yi, who is no longer obsessed with "getting married", suddenly feels that he is not old, and it turns out that everything can be "taken slowly".
