When the gloomy morning light entered Xiaoxiao's bedroom, Xiaoxiao sighed habitually, she knew that today must be a haze day, she got up and walked to the door of Qiuzi's bedroom, gently pushed the door open, and saw that Qiuzi was sleeping soundly. Xiaoxiao warmed a few slices of bread and a glass of milk, she didn't want to wake up Qiuzi, she would rather let Qiuzi fall asleep sweetly like this, Xiaoxiao put the bread and milk on the table and grabbed her mask and went out.

When she arrived at the office, Xiaoxiao found that there were several books stacked on the desk, namely "The Wealth of Nations", "Applied Economics", "Macroeconomics", and "Development Economics" Xiaoxiao picked up one in surprise and looked at it carefully, she didn't understand why she was reading these books because she was working in film and television media, and she didn't know which fool sent them, and the colleagues next to her hadn't come yet, and no one asked, so Xiaoxiao simply pushed these books aside.

"Ah, there are so many economics books!" The exclamation behind her startled Xiaoxiao, and she would turn around and find that it was Su Mengxia, who was standing behind Xiaoxiao with a cup of coffee and a smile.

"Xiaoxiao, who gave you so many books about economics?" Without Xiaoxiao's consent, Mengxia casually picked up a book and read it, which made Xiaoxiao very disgusted.

"Uh...... I bought it myself and took a look. Xiaoxiao smiled, she was strange that she and Mengxia had never said hello, let alone socialized, how could she know her name.

"Oh, that's right, have you been taking an MBA recently?" Mengxia put the book down and took a sip of coffee.

"MBA? You mean the business degree?"

"is a Master of Business Administration, MasterofBusiness Administration ......"

Xiaoxiao felt that Mengxia's tone seemed to be teaching her how to speak English.

"Yes, I'm going to take the exam too. Xiaoxiao stretched her waist and said with a smile, Mengxia glanced at Xiaoxiao up and down, and then turned around and left after leaving a smiling expression.

Looking at the back of Mengxia's departure, Xiaoxiao was full of emotion, her figure was not as good as others, her education was not as high as others, and her knowledge was not as good as others. For the first time, Xiaoxiao felt looked down upon, and when Mengxia's implicit sneering eyes pierced her pupils, her deep self-esteem felt like she had been trampled by a boulder, she clenched her fists tightly and bit her lip, feeling like she had never been as full of fighting spirit as she was now. Xiaoxiao turned on the computer, and as soon as she typed the three letters MBA in the search column of the website, an email was sent to her, which was an email from Director Liu, with only a few lines in it:

The books I have given you about economics must be studied carefully, they will have an effect on your future career and life, I hope you remember!

Xiaoxiao read this email and couldn't laugh or cry, it turned out that these books were sent by Director Liu, it seems that the fool who said before is going to be taken back, Xiaoxiao sent an email back to Director Liu:

Thank you Director Liu for the donation of books, I will definitely live up to expectations to read these books carefully, and work hard to learn the knowledge in them, and strive to be able to go to a higher level in my future work.

Originally, Xiaoxiao wanted to find time to thank Director Liu in person, but she didn't meet Director Liu until she got off work in the evening, and he didn't seem to have come out of the office since he entered the office in the morning, let alone send a notice about overtime. As soon as the time off work passed, her colleagues were almost gone, but she still didn't see Liu Shang's shadow.

"What's the matter, Director Liu is staying in there tonight?" Xiaoxiao has an important task to complete today, and the success of this mission is directly related to Ye Qiuzi's happiness, so she can't wait any longer, so she has to pack up her things and go downstairs and go straight to the café where she agreed to meet Qiuzi's boyfriend.

When she arrived at the café, Xiaoxiao saw Qiuzi's boyfriend sitting leisurely in a suit and leather shoes from a distance, she walked over and threw her bag on the chair, and went straight to the topic.

"You're Liu Yubo, do you know why I asked you to come?" Xiaoxiao tried to make her tone tougher.

"Of course I do. Ye Qiuzi's boyfriend Yu Bo picked up the coffee on the table, twisted his head to the side to avoid Xiaoxiao's gaze and said.

"Then what do you think, just give up Qiuzi like this?" Liu Yubo's indifferent look made Xiaoxiao very annoyed.

Yu Bo took a sip of coffee, looked at Xiaoxiao and said seriously: "You don't know, my parents and family are very traditional, so my parents attach great importance to my marriage, as early as my coming-of-age ceremony, my parents gave me a list of four major prohibitions for love: it is strictly forbidden to find a woman who dresses up charmingly, it is strictly forbidden to find a woman who smokes and drinks, it is strictly forbidden to find a woman from a single-parent family, and it is strictly forbidden to find a woman with a low education." Who knew that Qiuzi had won the third ban, you said this ......" Xiaoxiao looked at the mature man in a suit and leather shoes in front of her, and was at a loss like a child at this time.

"I don't understand why your parents would discriminate against children from single-parent families. Xiaoxiao really doesn't understand this discriminatory rule.

"My parents explained that children from single-parent families grow up in an unsound family system, so they will be mentally and emotionally unsound......"

Xiaoxiao stood up excitedly, "You ......" She tried to hold those two dirty words back into her stomach, "I ask you, will you grow old with Qiuzi in the future, or your parents and Qiuzi will grow old together!" Xiaoxiao tried to control her temper, she didn't want to lose her temper in this elegant café.

"I admit that Ye Qiuzi has a lot of shortcomings, she is arrogant and informal, but this shows that she is simple, she has no scheming. Although she was brought up by her mother herself, Akiko does not have the same faults as you said, neither squeamish nor princess disease. She does a good job of housework, and she cooks a good dish......" After saying this, Xiaoxiao noticed that Yu Bo's hands began to rub frequently, and his eyes flashed as if he was thinking about something, which showed that he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

Xiaoxiao began to strike while the iron was hot, "Yubo, you are also a man in your twenties, it is time to have your own independent thinking, there are some excellent ideas in traditional Chinese culture, but there are also some dross, you don't regret your marriage because of these traditional prejudices!"

Yu Bo's mental defense seemed to have been completely broken, he hugged his head, his brows furrowed, "Then what do you say I should do now, I have treated Akiko so rudely that night, do you say she can forgive me." Yubo's shoulders began to shake, and Xiaoxiao knew that her opportunity had come.

"Akiko is not a girl who holds grudges, I vouch for her reputation as her best friend for many years, if you call her now and say that you are going to take her home to meet her parents, she will definitely forgive you. ”

Yubo put his hand down, "Will she really forgive me?"

"Yes, because Akiko really loves you, and she said that she was the happiest in all these years with you. So, marry her home and start a happy family with her. After Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she drank her own coffee on the table, and the bitterness that she had been expecting was refreshing and sweet in her throat at this time.

Coming out of the café, Yu Bo solemnly said goodbye to Xiaoxiao, similar to the kind of goodbye between teachers and students. Looking at Qiusheng, who was already an adult man, driving away, Xiaoxiao's heart was extremely melancholy, and she walked to the nearest subway station, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

I don't know how many men in this world are mature on the outside, but on the inside, they are still the children who relied on their parents when they were children. They listen to their parents at school, listen to their parents at work, and listen to their parents when they find a partner, as if they have lived for their parents' wishes all their lives.

These "big children" are timid to decide their own life events, but also cowardly face their own choices, until now some people are still afraid of the fact that they are adults: and those parents are born in the child is eager to plan their life, what interest class, which school, what major, what job, what kind of love, hard-working parents like writing a plan to list all the plans, for fear that something will go wrong, if there is a mistake, the husband and wife will blame each other, shirk responsibility.

However, fortunately, with the development of the times, more and more families have begun to choose to "free-range" their children, just as more and more people have begun to tolerate homosexuals and transgender people in recent years, people are more and more respectful of other people's legitimate choices, less prejudice, and more tolerant.

As soon as Xiaoxiao opened the door, Qiuzi pounced on her mobile phone, "Xiaoxiao, just now Yubo called me and said that he would take me back to meet his parents this Sunday, he said that he would marry me regardless of whether his parents objected or not, and he also said that he was no longer a child of three or four years old, and he had reached the age when it was time to make his own decisions." Xiaoxiao looked at Qiuzi who was flushed, and still admired Yu Bo in her heart, and finally awakened to become a truly responsible man.

"I'll just say, Qiuzi, you are such a good girl, how can he be willing to give it to others easily. Besides, he is almost thirty years old, and it is long overdue for him to learn to stick to his choice. Xiaoxiao hugged Qiuzi and looked at Qiuzi with a happy face and said.

"Then on the day of the wedding, you must be my bridesmaid. However, you should also find a wishful husband, I feel that He Dudong ......" Akiko's face

"Hey, by the way, Akiko, do you know how to apply for an MBA?" Xiaoxiao hurriedly interrupted Akiko's words, she knew what Akiko was going to say next, this was the topic she was most afraid of right now.

"Hey, why did you suddenly remember to take this exam, I only know that I seem to have to register online, and I don't understand it as a teacher. Qiuzi looked at Xiaoxiao in surprise and said.

"There's no way, now the pressure of social competition is too fierce, how many young people are still studying out of school, and they are still improving themselves, and I have not studied since I came out of college, and today I see those new employees working hard, I have a sense of crisis. Xiaoxiao took out a book, which was a book given to her by Director Liu in the morning, "Qiuzi, how happy you are, you are about to be a bride, and you are about to wear a wedding dress, and I will accompany you when you choose a wedding dress." But now I really need a little bit of time to learn. With that, Xiaoxiao ran into her bedroom and locked the door, she didn't want Ye Qiuzi to continue the topic of He Dudong.

Xiaoxiao opened the computer and opened the book, when she inquired about the MBA application fee, Xiaoxiao almost didn't fall off the chair, and the MBA registration fee displayed on the Internet was astronomical for Fan Xiaoxiao, who had just worked for a few years and didn't save a few dollars at all. Xiaoxiao sat slumped in the chair, her originally high enthusiasm was extinguished at once, she now knew why Su Mengxia had that kind of sneering and mocking expression on her face when she heard that she was going to take the MBA exam in the morning, she probably knew her current living situation, so she was so arrogant.

Xiaoxiao turned off the computer, closed the book, and lay on the bed, Su Mengxia's contemptuous expression kept flashing in her mind until she fell asleep.
