Chapter 30: The Gap

The two girls really chatted and found that they were so close to each other, and Xiaoxiao seemed to find some shadows of Lin Nan from Yulin's body, Xiaoxiao found that although Yulin was mediocre, she had quite an opinion on some social problems reflected in today's society.

"Xiaoxiao, haven't you noticed that young people in today's society generally get married and have children much later than our parents' generation. My parents' generation was almost as long as they were one to twenty years old, and the family would start to get married, while our generation was not in a hurry until they were twenty-five or sixteen, and there were many people who got married around the age of thirty. After eating, Yulin asked Xiaoxiao and herself for a cup of milk tea, and she said bitterly while drinking milk tea while holding her cheeks.

"I seem to have discovered this problem when you say this, my parents are only twenty-two years old when they get married. Xiaoxiao also held her cheeks like a teacher.

"Do you know why, because the gap between the rich and the poor of our parents' generation is much smaller than that of our generation, and their (her) generation either has no car or car, or no house, so everyone has fewer requirements, and as soon as the child works, there is only the big thing of getting married and having children. As for our generation, there is a large gap between the rich and the poor, open-mindedness, and they are unwilling to follow the ideas of the older generation, and they want a higher standard of living. ”

Yu Lin shook his head and said with a melancholy expression. "Moreover, I feel that blind dates are to put it bluntly, to put it bluntly, two people who can't beat each other together, and if they can tolerate each other, they will live together, and if they can't tolerate it, they will go their separate ways, then this kind of marriage is completely a kidnapped marriage, and this kind of love is forced love. After speaking, Yulin drank the milk tea.

After listening to Yu Lin's words, Xiaoxiao was deeply touched, and there were many classmates and friends around her who finally got married because of blind dates, and there didn't seem to be many who were really happy. "Yulin, how did you remember to talk about this for a few days, did you encounter any problems with your feelings? Xiaoxiao looked at Yu Lin's sullen face, and pushed her milk tea in front of Yu Lin.

"That's not it, isn't this about the New Year, my parents asked me to go back on a blind date, I heard that this blind date is a returnee who graduated from Stanford University, saying that we are the right person, we must seize the opportunity. Yu Lin naturally inserted the straw into the milk tea and drank it on his cheeks.

"Stanford?Yulin, can I ask you where you graduated from? Xiaoxiao was a little nervous.

"I went to Chinese University of Hong Kong with a bachelor's degree and a master's degree from the National University of Singapore. Yu Lin said naturally.

"Society, society, awesome, awesome!" Xiaoxiao muttered quietly, she only now understood what it meant that people should not be disguised.

"What are you talking about?" Yu Lin finished the second cup of milk tea.

"It's okay, it's okay, I said......" Xiaoxiao didn't want to be asked by Yulin about the college she graduated from, she hurriedly looked at her watch, "I said, it's time for us to go, the interview list is coming out soon." Yu Lin also glanced at his watch, said let's go, and returned to the work area with Xiaoxiao.

Those who pass the interview will receive an email from the board of directors with the time of the written test, so when it comes to two o'clock, the whole company becomes a situation of several happy and some sad, with the people who receive the email screaming loudly and those who don't receiving the email sobbing quietly.

Everyone knows how important this assistant selection is for future careers. When the time on the computer changed from 13:59 to 14:00, Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to open all the e-mails, the time passed minute by minute, the sweat on her forehead became more and more, Xiaoxiao didn't understand that she was obviously holding the mentality of giving it a try to participate in the interview, that is to say, she obviously didn't care about the results of this interview, but why was her mood as nervous as waiting for the results of the college entrance examination at this time, probably because she didn't want to be defeated by others.

I received the email, Xiaoxiao, what about you?

It's Yulin's text message, Xiaoxiao had long expected that Yulin would receive an email, and there are not many talents with the strength of Yulin in the company, so Lumina naturally won't miss her. Xiaoxiao glanced at her watch, it was 14:06, and there was still no new email received in the mailbox, Xiaoxiao gave up, she sighed, and forced her crying to send a text message to Yulin.

Not yet, I guess I'm out, congratulations!

Just wanted to press the send button, the crisp "ding" of the email received in the mailbox scared Xiaoxiao almost threw her phone out, she hurriedly opened the email, when she saw the row:

Dear Ms. Fan Xiaoxiao, please take the written test at 8 a.m. on December 30 in the Sequoia Conference Room......

Xiaoxiao licked the bitter tears through the blurred vision, deleted the words she had just typed on her mobile phone and typed a new line:

I have received it, I hope we will make persistent efforts in the written test and achieve better results!

When all the employees who passed the interview collectively proposed to go to the dinner party when they got off work in the evening, Xiaoxiao originally wanted to go, but Yulin's sentence "If you go, don't want to pass the written test, in the evening, come to my house, I'll show you some good things." "I changed my mind. After the two of them turned downstairs, they began to walk towards Yu Lin's house, and the two girls talked and laughed, as if they had not seen old friends for many years, "Yu Lin, in order to thank you for your interview and life guidance today, I will invite you to have a meal in the evening." ”

Yu Lin chuckled and shook his head after hearing this, "No, no, it's a guide, it's just sharing." If you really want to thank me, why don't you cook me two of your best dishes? Xiaoxiao waved her hand, "That's good to say!" So, when the two girls passed by the supermarket, they went to buy vegetables and meat, and when they went to the supermarket, they both felt that they had not felt the fireworks of this life for a long time, as if they had been suppressed by the gray of reinforced concrete for too long.

Yulin's rented house is not bad, but also a residential building on the second floor, when Xiaoxiao just walked into the entrance, was stunned by the decoration of Yulin's house, although the whole house is less than eighty square meters, but everywhere exquisite, mahogany floor, baroque ceiling, balconies full of flowers and plants, without a trace of vulgarity and greasy.

"Oh my God, the rent for such a house must not be cheap. Xiaoxiao looked at a huge screen full of peacocks in the bedroom and said.

"Why do you have to rent it, this house is a gift from my dad for my twentieth birthday. Yu Lin stuck out his tongue and said playfully, leaving Xiaoxiao, who had round eyes and eyes, standing in place like a piece of wood. "What are you stunned about, Xiaoxiao, hurry up and practice. As soon as Yulin put the dishes in the kitchen, he rolled up his sleeves and began to get busy.

Xiao Xiao also hesitated and came over, helping Yu Lin wash the vegetables together, "Xiao Xiao, you said why Chinese always buy a house when they are rich, as if they can't live in this life if they don't buy a house, when I went to school in Singapore, there were basically few classmates who talked about buying a house every day, they were all talking about ideals and career planning, and as soon as I returned to China, the topic of talking with friends was not only a house is a car, and talking to them about future career planning would be pretended, I was really speechless." ”

Xiaoxiao listened to Yu Lin's accusation, a little overwhelmed, she didn't know how to reply to Yu Lin, if she thought in her heart, she would say, "That's because you don't understand the life situation of ordinary people, families like yours don't have to worry about the future life at all." But she looked at Yu Lin who was wearing an apron and rubber gloves to wash vegetables, and the words that came to her mouth were swallowed again, "Actually, what surprises me is that there are very few girls from families like you who are as hard-working as you, and those eldest ladies are waiting to inherit the family's property and wealth every day, and they will work hard outside like you." ”

The corners of Yu Lin's mouth rose slightly, "That's probably because I'm more rebellious, I've been more assertive since I was a child, and I decide where to go to school and what major to take, and I want to decide what kind of life I want to live in the future." ”

The two girls chatted and cooked, feeling that time flew by, and in less than half an hour, two vegetarian dishes, one meat and one soup were ready, and Yu Lin took out a bottle of Spanish red wine and two goblets out of nowhere. As soon as the dishes were placed and the wine was poured, Yu Lin and Xiaoxiao became excited, Yu Lin took the initiative to pick up the cup and said excitedly: "Warmly welcome Comrade Fan Xiaoxiao to the cold house, I am grateful!"

After speaking, he drank the red wine with his neck up, Xiaoxiao held the wine glass and looked at Yulin with a stunned face, Yulin, who finished drinking, glanced at Xiaoxiao and then looked at the wine bottle on the side, and smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, I forgot that this is red wine, I thought it was white wine." Xiaoxiao also smiled after hearing this: "It's okay, I just like a bold girl like you." With that, he threw his neck up and drank the wine from his glass, and when he was done, the two girls laughed at each other.

In the midst of the staggering, the two girls talked about their families, ideals, and boyfriend standards in their minds.

"Yu Lin, am I the first guest to come to your house, no one else has come to your house before?" Xiaoxiao said after taking a bite of food.

"If you don't count my ex-boyfriend, that's probably the first one. After taking a sip of wine, Yu Lin naturally said, "Wait a minute, I'll go get a wine decanter." After Yu Lin brought the wine decanter and poured it full of wine, Xiaoxiao looked at Yu Lin with gossip eyes and said in a coquettish tone: "Can you tell me about your ex-boyfriend." ”

After Yulin squinted at Xiaoxiao, he sighed and said: "Okay, satisfy you, in fact, there is nothing to say, my ex-boyfriend was introduced to me by my father, the director of operations of an IT company, he knew at first glance that he didn't like me, yes, he was handsome and rich, how could he fall in love with a girl like me who was not glamorous and unattractive, and it was estimated that he agreed to get along with me for a while in order to cope with his family." As a result, the two of us were together for two months, and finally broke up on the grounds of disagreement and discord. ”

After finishing speaking, Yulin drank the wine in the glass again, and when she put the glass down, Xiaoxiao observed that there was obviously a crystal teardrop in the corner of Yulin's eye, "I'm sorry, Yulin, I shouldn't have asked this." ”

"It's okay, it's all gone, it's a good memory. Yu Lin poured another glass of wine, "By the way, Xiaoxiao, how many times have you been in love, you can also tell me about your previous relationship past." Xiaoxiao looked at Yu Lin with an expectant face, shrugged his shoulders and said: "For as long as I can remember, there was a little boy and I who had a special time, and we both played from kindergarten to elementary school, and I felt that he took special care of me like my brother, but when he went to elementary school, he moved to another place for family reasons, and then we almost lost contact......"

Xiaoxiao took a sip of wine, she felt already drunk, "But some time ago we met by chance, he invited me to a meal, and rented me a room, he inadvertently revealed his good impression of me, but he is now a leading figure in the industry, with luxury cars, luxury houses, and I am just a small white-collar worker, every time I see him, I dare not look at him directly, I feel that the gap between the two of us is simply too big, he is a male god who is often exposed to the spotlight, and I am a female dick who works overtime to the point of being disgraced......" After Xiaoxiao drank the rest of the wine, she wanted to pour it again, but found that the wine in the decanter had long been exhausted.

"I'll go get another bottle. Yulin squinted at the empty decanter, then got up and staggered to the bedroom, and when he came out, he had an extra bottle of Lafite. "Yulin, don't drink anymore, you're a little unsteady. Xiaoxiao watched Yu Lin happily pour the crimson wine into the decanter, and couldn't help but be a little worried. "It's okay, I'm drinking three pounds...... By the way, you just said that your boyfriend is a well-known figure in the industry, and he is often exposed to the spotlight, what kind of work is he engaged in, won't he be a star!"
