63. The staggered exchange of life (3)
"Siyi, come and answer the phone, it should be your father!" Liu's mother's loud voice came from the kitchen to Liu Siyi's closed door, and she said vaguely, Liu Siyi covered her laptop, twisted the door and went out, and then gently covered it, and picked up the microphone of the landline in the living room.
"Hey-B..."Liu Siyi's 'dad' syllable was not completely uttered, and was shocked by the other party's opening and said that she almost bit her tongue, and before her "dad" was about to exit, the opposite side spoke almost at the same time and shouted "Mom......"
"......" Liu Siyi silently swallowed the speechlessness in her heart, "Hello, 44*****, Mr. Liu Zhihong's house, did you make the wrong call." After answering the phone and saying only one word, the other party called Mom, Liu Siyi felt a little embarrassed, but the other party's mother shouted too emotionally, Liu Siyi was not embarrassed to put down the phone, or patiently confirmed.
What answered her was a long silence, only the sound of the other party's slightly rapid breathing echoed in her ears, and there was a faint choked cry, Liu Siyi changed the earpiece to the other ear, and spoke again, "Is there anything wrong with this young lady?" β
Originally, there was no longer a popular landline in this era. There is only Liu Zhihong, because this machine is a souvenir he bought with his first promotion salary and has been kept, last year when sorting out the sundries, Liu's mother turned it out and prepared to dispose of it as a scrap, Liu's father quietly saved it back, re-opened a card, and paid a fixed phone bill every month.
Although there was an argument with Liu's mother because almost no one called the landline, it was finally negotiated into the private room number of the three family members, stipulating that people who are away from home only call the landline, but it also made this landline, which has a history of nearly ten years rise to the height of the family bond between family members, and has become a small interest with a sense of secrecy between family members.
ββ¦β¦β
The answer to her was still the sound of suppressed breathing, and suddenly there was a regular knock on the door from the earpiece, and a faint call to 'Miss Lin', she still wanted to study carefully, but there was a clattering sound in the microphone, which turned into a busy sound.
"Siyi, what did your father say? Aren't you coming back for lunch today? Hmph, don't leave him any food for him, maybe he'll eat out by himself. Liu's mother, wearing a gray apron, walked out of the kitchen with the dishes, put the plates on the table, and wiped the water stains on the apron with both hands.
"This old man just has a lot to do, he is almost retired age, and he is still thinking about applying for a job. Siyi, you have entered the Ming Group, and he also put this old life on his work, saying that he wants to earn you more dowry, where does our family Siyi need his stinky money, his salary can support the family, right...... Tsk, what do you think, don't answer your mother's words anymore. β
Mother Liu looked at Liu Siyi, who was consciously sitting at the dining table in a distraction, angry and funny, and knocked on Liu Siyi's head with a chopstick, "Look at it, you have sat in your father's position, so you can't wait to take his place?" We're not retired yet, so we don't need you to worry about raising your family, go back to your place. β
"Oh......" Liu Siyi covered her head, her eyes were still a little fluttering, "It wasn't my father who called just now, I heard like a young girl......"
Click, it was the sound of chopsticks hitting the corner of the table and breaking, Liu Siyi was startled, finally came back to her senses, and looked at Liu's mother who suddenly became angry in puzzlement. "Just a section chief position, Liu Zhihong's old man is in a hurry to mess with flowers outside! Even the number of the family was revealed! β
"Huh? Ah, Mom, calm down, it's not what you think. Liu Siyi went to the kitchen again to get a pair of chopsticks, set up three pairs of chopsticks, pulled Liu's mother to sit down, and explained in a low voice, "I made the wrong call." β
finally appeased Liu's mother's affection, and Liu Siyi wiped off a handful of sweat. Liu's mother is now in a sensitive period, and she is too suspicious, so she should hide her resignation in front of the president of Ming's Group...... With a heartfelt heart, Liu Siyi finished the lunch that was disturbed by a phone call, explained a few words to Liu's mother, and then went back to the room. She also has to see how the resumes she sends to those companies are doing.
The follow-up to yesterday's events is not to be mentioned.
Liu Siyi sighed, lay on her back on the bed, picked up a pillow to cover her face, lay quietly for a while, and kicked her feet a few times.
I don't want her to leave my job, and I only arrange an internship and miscellaneous work, bet with her about this kind of job search, and play tricks on her, hum.
Sitting up, he picked up the computer that he had just kicked aside, and browsed the web pages that had been open with a frown, and finally threw the computer aside in a negative mood.
There really isn't a company that has included her resume! This kind of result of being forced to end without even standing up for the starting point is not suitable for her at all! She didn't believe it, Ming's Group and all the company's personnel departments were secretly colluding.
After searching for the information she needed, Liu Siyi turned the screen of her mobile phone black, changed into a slightly more formal black hip dress, put on a small white suit, and stepped on a pair of high heels to go out.

"Miss Lin, Mr. Ming has been waiting for you in the living room for a while."
Lin Mohua wiped away her tears indiscriminately, and when she opened the door, the maid hired by the family lowered her head and stated respectfully.
"Well, I know, I'll go right away, you go down first."
Still not knowing how to deal with this mode of being served, Lin Mohua waved her hand and let the maid leave perfunctorily.
went to the washbasin in the room and casually slapped her face with cold water, and after wiping the watermark with a towel, Lin Mohua stared at the delicate face in the mirror and was stunned again, this is not her face......
There was another knock on the door, and it was opened from the outside. Lin Mohua threw another handful of water, buried her face in the towel, and her voice was a little sorrowful, "Don't enter my room at will, didn't I tell you to go down first!" β
She looked up from the towel and saw through the mirror the face of Ming Yixian, who was standing at the door of the bathroom with no expression, and her tone was choked, slightly empty, "Ming... Shan Xian, why did you come up, just wait in the living room. β
"Well, I've been waiting for fifteen minutes, and I didn't want to wait anymore so I came up." He glanced down at the metal watch on his wrist, and his tone was light, as if he was a little unhappy, "Didn't we make an appointment to meet for lunch at half past 12 noon yesterday?" It's almost twenty minutes late. β
"Ah, I just wanted to see you and dress up for a while, it was an unwritten rule for the man to wait for the woman for a few more minutes in the date." Lin Mohua, who slowly regained her senses, naturally walked to Ming Yixian's side, hugged his arm, and said, "Don't you want to see me dressed beautifully?" β
Ming Yixian's movements slowed down for a while, but his facial expression softened a lot, "It's the most beautiful if you don't dress up, don't spend your time on this." He raised his hand and touched the corner of Lin Mohua's eyes, "If you have any grievances, just tell me, don't be alone in the room, your eyes shouldn't be filled with tears." β
Ming Yixian leaned down and gently dropped a kiss on Lin Mohua's eyes, "Keep up a good mood, baby." β
"Hmm......" Lin Mohua let go of the hand holding him, lowered her head to adjust her facial expression, carefully wiped her eyes, and then stuck out her tongue, "You found out, in fact, I was just accidentally emotional, and I suddenly missed my mother a little." β
"Oh, it was quite sudden." Ming Yixian rubbed her hair, "I haven't heard you say I miss her since Aunt Bai and her current husband settled in France five years ago. β
"......" Lin Mohua was speechless for a while, she had never understood such a thing, "Ah...... I do not know. She lowered her head and muttered to herself, looking very lost. Ming Xian sighed and helped her cut her hair, "We'll talk about this when your memory is restored, now, let's go eat." Restaurant reservations are all late. β
"Hmm." Lin Mohua secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded obediently in agreement, her recent pressure has really been getting bigger and bigger, Lin Mohua raised her head and smiled sweetly at Mingxian, "Let's go." β

In June, the sky changes when it is said. Liu Siyi took off her wet hat, pulled the ends of her hair that was irregularly curled because of the rain, and patted the raindrops on her coat, secretly saying that she was unlucky.
She had already visited several companies in the vicinity, and all of them had been euphemistically invited out after explaining their intentions. The stack of business simulations she brought with her was useless.
After eating so many closed-door soups in a row, Liu Siyi is almost fed up. can only grit her teeth in her heart, Ming Xianxian does not leave a way back, and makes such a big formation to seal her job search, she was just a small intern of Ming's Group before, is it necessary to be so serious!
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was dark, and it was completely different from when I went out. Liu Siyi glanced at the watch on her wrist, and at 2:48, she had been out for almost an hour and a half.
Liu Siyi held the information in her arms, boredly used the heel of one foot to paddle the stagnant water under the marble steps in front of her, looking at the circle of ripples she had drawn, and the shape of the building reflected in the puddle, Liu Siyi pursed her lips and smiled stupidly.
"Yikes!" A car whistle suddenly sounded, Liu Siyi just raised his head, was swept by a layer of water that was lifted in front of him, Liu Siyi, who was standing with only a thin heel, tragically lost her balance, crooked her feet, twisted her ankles and slipped down the steps, sat in the stagnant water, and subconsciously supported the ground with her hands.
"Damn it!" Liu Siyi reacted from this accident, carefully took off her high heels, and staggered to her feet to stand up.
The door of the white sedan that had stopped beside her opened, and a young man with sunglasses came down from above, holding a big black umbrella in one hand and putting the other hand in his pants pocket, strolling to Liu Siyi, looking up and down, and whistling, "It's miserable." β
He handed the handle of the umbrella to Liu Siyi's hand, "Take it." Look at your pathetic look, I can't stand it anymore. Receiving Liu Siyi's glare, he shrugged his shoulders, "I have honked the horn to warn me before, and it is you who are slow to react." Also, standing in front of the puddle in front of someone else's house and playing in the water, isn't it your own guilt? β
He stretched out a finger and patted Liu Siyi's shoulder hesitantly, with a slightly disgusted expression, "In short, this kind of drama of waiting for the rabbit is no longer popular, although you have successfully attracted my attention, but I will not take a fancy to you." β
"......" Liu Siyi almost bit that arrogant finger, "You feel too good about yourself, the prince's illness is also a disease, and it must be treated." β
Liu Siyi bent down to fish out the fruits of her night's labor from the water, slightly sad, "I just found a random place to shelter from the rain, after all, who would park the car in front of the company." β
"Me." The man answered the place very cheerfully, "Everyone in the company knows that this land is big enough anyway, and they won't mind." β
Heh, Liu Siyi had to sneer, "The naΓ―ve Second Ancestor." She didn't bother to care about these bad things, the more she cared, the more entangled she became, so let's go home first.
"Ah...... What are you doing with these wet pieces of paper, and it's not too dirty...... But yes, you shouldn't have to worry about that now. Ignoring Liu Siyi's resistance, he casually pinched out a piece of paper in Liu Siyi's arms, and glanced at it a few times, "Eh, do you want to simulate a foreign trade plan...... Miss Liu Siyi, are you going to help me do something? Without waiting for Liu Siyi to answer, the man had already taken off his sunglasses, a pair of phoenix eyes were shining, and one hand held one of Liu Siyi's fingers very familiarly, "It's nice to meet you, I'm Shang Lisheng of Shangyang Trade." β
"......" Liu Siyi silently turned her head and said that she was ...... One of the heirs of the legendary Shangyang Trade, who had a good luck index, was probably the first business wonder who had no business acumen at all, was forced to follow business, and made a lot of money by bidding at will just out of interest.
Now it seems that he looks like a fox and smart, and his personality is too casual, so he hugs a stranger's thigh so casually, is it really good!
But after thinking about it carefully, Liu Siyi quickly came to a conclusion, this person should have been forced by his own parents again, so he was in a hurry to perfunctorily entangle her, a stranger who was involved in his industry, to solve the urgent need, is it really okay to be so hasty?
Liu Siyi glanced at Shang Lisheng's expectant little eyes again, okay, I also used the beauty trick, although doing things for him can be regarded as winning a bet with Ming Xianxian, but helping such a second goods or something...... Still a little reluctant.
Liu Siyi sighed, stroked the wet hair stuck to her forehead, snorted coldly, and stuffed the half-wet plan in her hand into Shang Lisheng's arms, "Seeing that you are so sincere, I will help you." Sure enough, he was a lucky fellow, just in time for her to have time and leisure.
