Chapter 357: Dream Butterfly
In the early summer afternoon, the sun is blazing like the flash of the moment of the explosion, buildings, trees, signal towers...... Everything that was exposed to the sun lost its silhouette in a white expanse. Hidden in the bushes, they let out their despair at the heat.
The sunlight shines through the double-glazed glass, and then through the hollow pattern of the floor-to-ceiling white gauze curtains, and when it hits the wooden floor of the physical training room, it has become much softer, and the wooden floor is wiped like a mirror, reflecting the graceful posture of the girls in the team dancing slowly to the music.
Xiao Nan had heard the piano piece that accompanied them, and she still remembered the name of the piece as "Skygarden", because it was the piece that Xiao Ting had played for him - using the toy piano she had picked up from her rented room.
Although the toy piano has no pitch or timbre, and the range it can play is much narrower than that of a real piano, the soft and soothing melody and rhythm of the piece itself are no different from those played on a real piano. This piece can make the person who hears it feel calm and peaceful, and make people forget the troubles and restlessness in their hearts for a while, until the end of the song......
Following the soothing beat of the music, Xiao Nan stood among the girls, learning the posture of the old master like them, slowly raising her head, slowly raising her arms, following the trajectory of her arms in the air, straightening her chest, tiptoeing, and then gently spinning around......
Inadvertently swept his gaze across the huge mirror on the wall, Xiao Nan saw his figure in the mirror, his slender and soft waist and limbs twisted gently with the music, his slender arms slowly spread and closed like the wings of a water bird, one leg stood on tiptoe, and the other leg slowly lifted back...... Although the movements are a little rusty, the posture is quite elegant and moving.
Xiao Nan looked at her figure in the mirror, and the young girl in the mirror was also looking at her intently, suddenly, Xiao Nan suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of unreal, as if the whole world she felt was just a dream, she was still the boy's Cheng Xiaonan, just turned into a woman in a dream......
But where is the difference between reality and dreams? How can we prove that we are living in reality or hovering in dreams? Perhaps...... Just like the puzzle of Zhouzhuang's dream butterfly, the past when he was a boy is a dream that seems to be true, and now the light and young girl who dances in the mirror is the reality after waking up from the dream?
"Cheng Xiaonan!" called softly, waking Xiao Nan up from the state of being outside the spirit, the strong sense of untruthfulness just now suddenly disappeared, the smooth floor under his feet, the girls around him who were practicing their movements, the slightly cool air from the air outlet of the central air conditioner, the music melody lingering in the training hall of the physical class, and even the ears affected by the air flow...... All the senses are restored in an instant.
Looking up and following the prestige, it turned out that it was the old teacher of the physical class calling her. "Ah, Master Xu, are you calling me?" Xiao Nan stopped his movements and asked suspiciously.
Old Master Xu shook his head when he saw Xiao Nan's bewildered look, and said jokingly: "Why did you get distracted just now?
"Ah, I didn't!" Xiao Nan hurriedly shook his head in denial, and a few snickerers came from beside him.
"No?" Master Xu obviously didn't plan to let her go easily: "You didn't say that, do you mean that you don't want a boyfriend, or do you say that you don't have ......a boyfriend now?"
Xiao Nan was embarrassed, subconsciously scratching the back of her head, looking innocent and helpless, and the girls around her couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, okay, no kidding......" Master Xu smiled and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. "When you are in class, you have to concentrate and don't always think about it, whether it's about your boyfriend or something other than your boyfriend...... Okay girls, let's repeat the same move......"
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Don't think that the physical training class is just walking and jumping along with the music, stretching your arms and kicking your legs, there is not much momentum, in fact, after a fifty-minute course, everyone in the team except Xiao Nan felt that their arms and legs were sore, and after Master Xu got out of class, they all lay down on the floor and were unwilling to get up. Fortunately, the air supply window of the central air conditioner lowered the indoor temperature very low, otherwise they would have been drenched in sweat.
This level of physical exertion is nothing to Xiao Nan, and the more soothing and gentle movement in the physical class seems to her to be more like a warm-up before a fierce movement, but the short distraction in front of the mirror just now made her mood unable to calm down for a long time.
If Cheng Xiaonan, who was a boy in the past, was real, then isn't Cheng Xiaonan, a girl today, real? This beautiful body full of youthful vitality is obviously also real, with the same six senses, the same joys, sorrows, and sorrows......
Perhaps, the boy's self should not be used to negate the girl's self at all, or vice versa...... Cheng Xiaonan is not just a standard portrait of a flat surface, different people will have a different Cheng Xiaonan in their minds, she is Xiaoting's love of life and death, Huzi's best friend, Han Zheng's unrequited love girl, and Zuo Longxin's subordinate with high hopes...... No matter which Cheng Xiaonan is, it is a real side, and when put together it is a complete her, therefore, the boy's Cheng Xiaonan is real, and the girl's Cheng Xiaonan is also real, their souls are one, and there is no relationship between who replaces whom......
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
After changing their clothes and resting for a while, the girls left the physical training classroom and went to the small meeting room next to the planning department to go to the next training class: locomotive theory and simple maintenance. Xiao Nan didn't know if he needed to take this course, maybe he could be exempted from the assessment like the motorcycle driving skills class, but he didn't know who to ask. At this time, she saw Han Zheng standing at the door of the planning department, talking to a middle-aged man who was wearing the work clothes of the technical department of the Zongxin Group, and was very fat and looked a little similar to Mi Lai Buddha.
Xiao Nan knew that Han Zheng was in charge of the training and assessment plan for the girls in the team, and it was right to ask him about this matter. "Xiao Han ......" Xiao Nan gently walked to Han Zheng's side and said hello to him, Han Zheng and the middle-aged uncle turned their heads together, and when they saw Xiao Nan, the middle-aged man was obviously surprised.
It seems that Han Zheng's ability to adjust his emotions is good, and his face can no longer show the frustration of the noon conversation. "It's Xiao Cheng, it's a coincidence that you're here, I have something to look for you. After speaking, he said to the chubby middle-aged man: "She is Cheng Xiaonan, the test driver of the second R&D department, and we are currently temporarily transferred to our planning department to assist in the promotion of the new strategic product line." ”
The middle-aged man looked Xiao Nan up and down, and said to Xiao Nan with a smile on his face: "I have heard Mr. Zuo say you a long time ago, and when I saw you today, you really deserved your reputation!"
Xiao Nan was stunned by the middle-aged uncle's words, and couldn't figure out what kind of "name" she was "worthy", Han Zheng saw her confused, and hurriedly introduced her: "Xiao Cheng, this is the chief engineer of the first new product development department, Lu Gong." ”
That Lu Gong also took the initiative to stretch out his bear-like right hand to Xiao Nan: "Hello Xiao Cheng." Xiao Nan hurriedly shook his hand, and his hand felt like he was pinching a big steamed bun. "Hello Lu Gong, is there anything wrong with me?"
Chief Engineer Lu reluctantly let go of Xiao Nanrou's weak and boneless little hand, and said, "Oh, that's the case, I know that you are all preparing for the development of the second department's new product promotion plan...... In fact, we have some new products that will be introduced to the market in the near future, so I plan to ...... Please send a few girls to help with the promotion activities......"
Ah, the development of a new product? Also, since there is a new product development department, then there must be one, I just don't know what kind of cars are produced in this new product development department? Moreover, it is not up to us shrimp soldiers and crab generals to decide what products to promote, and even Han Zheng may not be able to be the master, so he has to make a decision, right?
Lu Gong seemed to see the doubt in Xiao Nan's heart, grinned confidently, and explained: "I have already reported this matter to Mr. Zuo, and he has approved it. ”
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
It is impossible for Zong Xin employees at the level of Xiao Nan and Han Zheng to know the disputes and compromises between the top decision-makers of the public company. Just when Xiao Nan was distressed by Han Zheng's enthusiastic pursuit of her, Zuo Longxin was in the headquarters of the CQ Zongxin Group thousands of miles away, and he was inseparable from a large group of powerful figures on the board of directors.
Focusing on Zuo Longxin's high hopes for the "new strategic product line promotion plan", Zongxin Group has invested a very large amount of capital and technical resources, but so far it has not been able to get a penny of realistic returns. The bigwigs of the various factions on the board of directors, especially those who had fiercely opposed this plan earlier, and under the banner of "optimizing and integrating the superior capital of the group and gradually eliminating backward production capacity", they were bent on selling the motorcycle manufacturing department whose performance was declining year by year, and they were constantly putting pressure on Zuo Longxin. Zuo Longxin, who has already made a military order on the board of directors and used his presidential throne as a bet to ensure the "new strategic product line promotion plan", has gradually been forced to the edge of the cliff by his opponents.
To this end, Zuo Longxin had to adopt the strategy of "combining vertical and horizontal" to find and win over allies who supported him in the board of directors. Although on the whole, the Zongxin group is roughly divided into the "entrepreneurial team" and the "clan blood faction", but the dividing line of the two sides is also staggered because of mutual infiltration, which gives Zuo Longxin enough room for maneuver. Using the team girls he trained for the "New Strategic Product Line Promotion Plan" to do promotion activities for the "New Product Development Department" controlled by the other party's forces, it is the bargaining chips he pays for the cooperation with the other party......
It seems that the thriving Zongxin group is surging under the water, and the open and secret battles of the bigwigs of the group will eventually involve all the relevant personnel, and at this time, Xiao Nan and Han Zheng, who are still troubled by their children's love for a long time, have no premonition that a storm is coming......
