The next morning, the pale sunlight shone in through the window, waking up Qi Yun, who had a splitting headache. Qi Yun was stunned for a long time on the sofa in the living room where he had slept all night, and only then did his memories follow him bit by bit. She gradually remembered all kinds of things that had happened in the past few days, including big and small things, and finally the memories ended yesterday after Hong Jian left, she called the small Sichuan restaurant downstairs to order a Kung Pao chicken rice bowl, ate the cold mineral water in the refrigerator, and then slept until this time.

She remembered that she hadn't drunk, but she was as disgusted, fatigued, headache and prostration as if she was drunk, and she wished she was dead. But after lying on the sofa with her eyes closed for a while, she felt that her young body was gradually recovering. In the end, I had to sit up with a wry smile and rub my temples - since I can't die, I have to live and continue to fight with life.

Mom's funeral is fairly simple. Also, people die like lights go out, not to mention that a model couple who were once a couple of deep love and fairy couples that people envied once unveiled their affectionate veils and revealed such an ugly and dirty face, why should they give people a chance to laugh again? Even if he is concerned, he has some hidden thoughts about watching the play, as well as the sad emotion of the rabbit and the fox.

What's more, his father is still under investigation, and his relatives and friends in the past are afraid of him at the moment, so why bother Qi Yun to embarrass others. So when he finally went to the dormitory to see off his mother, only Uncle Xiao and Maitreya Buddha-like good old brothers accompanied Qi Yun. Qi Yun couldn't help but sigh, her mother had been a beautiful and enviable official wife all her life, and when she finally turned into a handful of loess, in addition to her own daughter giving her a ride, there was only one crush who had been neglected for many years, and a student she had always looked down on.

As soon as her mother's Sanqi ended, Qi Yun received a notice from the unit: her education bureau recently carried out a personnel change with the main purpose of streamlining the administration, and Qi Yun's name is also in this streamlined list, but considering that Qi Yun has been performing well in the work for more than two years, the leader came forward to transfer her to another bureau that also belongs to the cultural and educational system, and worked as a secretary in the department responsible for the management of local dramas.

Qi Yun was a little helpless when she received this notice, but she still thanked the bureau leaders, the so-called people are difficult to dismantle, the world is just like this, and now she has a peaceful and good attitude is the most important thing. On the first day of her new post, she was handed over to her by the former secretary, who was short, a little rich, rough-handed, and looked like a rural child, only a pair of eyes smiled and bent to hook the soul, but it was a bit like the style of the queen of folk songs. The former secretary explained the work to Qi Yun one by one: how to help the leader organize the materials, and which folder the previous materials were stored in; where are the office supplies, seals, and letters of introduction that she is responsible for keeping; There is also an explanation to Qi Yun that if the leaders hold a meeting, they should notify the relevant departments in time.

None of the other work was done. The former secretary patted his thigh again as he left, "Ouch, I almost forgot something important!" Yan Bi took out a business card called pure water from the corner of his desk, and solemnly instructed Qi Yun, "If the leader's office is empty, remember to call for water in time, but don't stock up on water, the leader has a bad stomach and has to drink fresh water." Qi Yun understood in an instant that this so-called secretary was just talking nicely to hide people's eyes, but in fact, he was a miscellaneous person.

Seeing that Qi Yun's face was a little ugly, he seemed to have no intention of lifting. The former secretary couldn't help but sharpen his voice and instructed Qi Yun: "Don't underestimate the secretary's work!" This work is very important, it is directly related to and affects the work and contacts of the leader, I tell you: the secretary is the extension of the leader's hand......"

Qi Yun didn't think about it so much, but when he saw that the former secretary was sensitive, he hurriedly put on a smile. I don't know if her smile is a little reluctant, or the former secretary hasn't gone out yet, so she is not happy to point out Qi Yun again, so she turned around and went out angrily, and when she went out, she opened the door widely, and muttered to the corridor with her face: "What's the big deal, her father is a water dog, and she is still here to be a famous daughter!" ”

The voice of the former secretary was heard in the hallway. It was lunchtime, and there were quite a few people coming and going in the hallway. Qi Yun's face flushed, but he had to stand there helplessly. The people who came and went were not embarrassed to blatantly look into the house because they were intellectuals. Qi Yun was stunned, and the former secretary's high heels were gradually moving away in the corridor, but she also forgot to close the door for a while.

At this time, a young man swaggered into the office, as if he was in a no-man's land, leaning against Qi Yun's desk, clasping his hands in front of his chest, and looking at Qi Yun with the corner of his lips hooked. Qi Yun was stunned, and he couldn't figure out where the other party came from, but the man chuckled lightly and took the initiative to speak:

"You don't want the former Secretary Wei to be angry, Xiao Wei is just a junior high school diploma, and he was originally a cleaning staff who was not established in the bureau, but he had the means, and somehow he hooked up with the old father who was the number one leader in the unit, and the father of the number one was very strong, and forced the leader to set up such a secretary post to place the woman he liked. At the beginning of this year, the old mother who had been sick in bed for a long time died, and Xiao Wei was helped upright - it can be regarded as a carp jumping over the dragon gate, although this dragon gate is a little old, but it can still rely on the momentum and give others a little bit of face. ”

The young man's face didn't seem to smile, Qi Yun saw that he knew the inside story so well, guessed that he was a colleague in the same office, but he spoke so harshly, Qi Yun had just arrived, he didn't dare to speak rashly, so he had to lower his head and clean up the desk drawer that was messed up by Secretary Wei when he handed over just now, but the man's words meant to support her, which she could always figure out, thinking of this layer, she raised her head and smiled at him gratefully. The man didn't notice Qi Yun's smile, whistled, and strode out of the office as if no one was around.

Wherever there are people in this world, there is no place to dump. Qi Yun's current identity, naturally inevitably by a lot of bullying and exclusion in the open and in the dark, look at other people's faces, endure the ridicule and discussion behind others' backs, once Qi Yun was ordered by her new leader Director Guo to go to the municipal party committee to get a document, coincidentally and coincidentally met with the big leader who had appeared at the farewell party that had sent her to teach, this big leader was also full of splendor, at that time at the farewell party just a short speech sound, He praised Qi Yun with emotion as an excellent model for contemporary youth. Although the development of events and events later deviated from the original track, Qi Yun was still grateful to the big leader, and when he saw him from afar, his heart only felt slightly hot, and he was about to greet him, but he saw that the big leader just poked his head in the direction she ushered in from a distance, and his expression immediately shrank as if he was burned, and then resolutely turned around and walked in another direction, and soon disappeared. Qi Yun was like being nailed to the ground at that time, and it was only after half a sound that he digested this small action of the big leader.

The municipal party committee organs are no strangers to her, and those aunts and uncles who used to greet Xiao Qiyun affectionately as soon as they met now all have cautious, guessing, and perfunctory smiles, nodding to her lightly and passing by. Qi Yun was cold in his heart, and he simply greeted everyone with a big heartless smile, and then swept by like a gust of wind, never slowing down his pace.

It wasn't until he walked out of the municipal party committee compound that day that the smile on Qi Yun's face was unloaded, and it was bitterly cold. Qi Yun's family conditions are superior since he was a child, his appearance is sweet, and his personality is lively, he has always been said to be a jewel in the palm of his hand like a rain and a wind, and he is held in the palm of his hand like a moon by everyone's stars. But once he was really down, he had no choice but to straighten his spine and go through.

Hong Arrow hasn't been seen since the last time they separated. Qi Yun knew that this was different from the cold war of ordinary boyfriends and girlfriends, but he was afraid that the relationship would end without a problem. Later, she heard that someone had seen her father once in the corridor of the hotel designated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection as a shuanggui official, and it was said that he had lost his weight in a short period of time. Qi Yun's family lived in the family building of the Construction Committee, and the compound was the most abundant place for rumors, Qi Yun was overwhelmed, and it happened that the new unit gave a simple dormitory for kitchen and bathroom sharing, so she simply moved to the unit to live.

The only fortunate thing in the misfortune was that Qi Yun met a good leader. Director Guo, who she serves, is an elderly man who is as kind as Uncle Xiao, and I heard that he used to be an actor in the local Yi Folk Society, and his face was flushed, and he looked particularly amiable. At the beginning, Qi Yun honestly did his job of typing, copying, and answering the phone, and he didn't want to go beyond it at all, but it didn't take long for Director Guo to see Qi Yun's talent from Qi Yun's extraordinarily refreshing documents, and he began to talk to Qi Yun intentionally, asking her what she thought about some things.

Gradually, Director Guo will deliberately explain the main business of the department to Qi Yun. To put it bluntly, they are looking for various rich units, playing cards to ask for money, and what they are promoting is of course the importance of traditional culture, but in fact, no one is stupid, if any unit is willing to sponsor the fee, most of them are also interested in the various festivals, provinces and cities in the "cultural stage, economic singing" of the play, in the end singing can bring some returns to their enterprises. In a word, the current way of the world is the supremacy of pragmatism, and everyone's attitude towards traditional culture is regarded as "idleness" after all, and most units have an attitude of standing by and watching, so Director Guo's "fate" work is not easy to do, and they often have to be cheeky to go.

Director Guo was discerning and took a fancy to Qi Yun's intelligence and cleverness, and intended to cultivate her to increase her knowledge, so he often took her with him when he met and talked with those sponsors later. Chinese culture, said to meet to talk about things, in fact, often have to go to the wine field, Qi Yun is not good at drinking, two glasses of beer can make her face full of crimson, if you meet the other party is reasonable, but sometimes you will encounter a few thorns, regardless of Qi Yun is a young girl, hard work, this is Qi Yun in the new work encountered the most feared trouble.

Once Director Guo and Qi Yun were introduced to meet with the chairman of an enterprise group surnamed Wu, who was born as a coal mine owner, Chairman Wu's eyes lit up when he saw Qi Yun, and he refused to pity the jade at all, and repeatedly forced Qi Yun to accompany him to do it again and again. Chairman Wu stared closely, he himself was massive, Qi Yun had no choice but to drink with him, the 52-degree liquor was even three glasses, Qi Yun's tears were choked out, and he almost vomited on the banquet table, so he had to grit his teeth and endure it, put on a smile on his face, and hid in the bathroom to vomit secretly.

Qi Yun closed the door of the women's bathroom and vomited inside, and when he got out of the bathroom door, he was helped by a strong arm. Qi Yun was shocked, and turned his head to see Director Guo's red square face, a pair of eyes looking at him with concern. Somehow, Qi Yun remembered Fangqin in the teaching village two years ago, and couldn't help but take two steps back, deliberately covering his stomach and then returning to the bathroom. Director Guo was isolated outside, and asked with concern: "Xiaoqi, you don't matter, right?" If you can't drink it, don't drink it! Alas, you! I'm going to find a lesbian to ......."

Director Guo strode away, and after a while, an elderly female colleague who went with him went into the bathroom to help Qi Yun. Director Guo waited at the door of the private room, saw Qi Yun's pale face, and kept self-examining that he was wrong, but he didn't block the wine for the young lesbians at a very old age. Qi Yun couldn't help but feel a little moved when he saw that his face was full of melancholy, and the words he said were sonorous and powerful. Probably because few people care about her recently, even if her eyes are a little sour, she silently suppresses herself.

When Qi Yun came back to the banquet, Chairman Wu came over again to persuade him to drink. Director Guo hurriedly put on a smiling face and raised his wine glass to Chairman Wu's cup, but Chairman Wu didn't accept his affection and squeezed straight to the chair where Qi Yun was sitting. Qi Yun couldn't be squeezed, so he had to stand up stiffly, and Director Guo hurriedly inserted between Chairman Wu and Qi Yun under the pretext of an excuse, and blocked Chairman Wu's hand that Chairman Wu was slowly preparing to put on Qi Yun's thigh.

Chairman Wu saw that Qi Yun was a young girl with thin skin, but an old one was still not on the road, and he was in the way here, so he suddenly became anxious. also drank a few glasses of wine, Chairman Wu blocked his face with wine, and asked Director Guo with a smile:

"What the hell do you mean by protecting this chick like this? Are you her godfather? ”

The words were full of gunpowder. The elderly female colleague who came with Qi Yun saw that the situation was not good, and quickly got up to play the round. came up to pull away the angry Chairman Wu and whispered a few words in his ear. When Chairman Wu heard what she said, he looked at Qi Yun with a pinch of teeth, and suddenly let out an "oh" as if he realized, and shouted loudly with his tongue open:

"This is the daughter of Director Qi of the original Construction Committee? Director Qi couldn't touch it when he was in power, and he still can't touch it now? ”

Qi Yun's face turned pale, and he stood up with a "Teng", his chest rose and fell for a while, everyone thought she was going to have a seizure, but when they saw her standing for a while, a smile appeared on her face, and she raised her glass with both hands to greet Chairman Wu:

"Lord Wu Dong has a lot, isn't it just a glass of wine? I'll do it first for respect. ”

Chairman Wu laughed: "This chick is a little interesting, it's okay, you drink this cup, and this matter is over." ”

Qi Yun tilted his head and drank another glass of spirits, he drank in a hurry, choked on his throat, coughed nonstop, and the elderly female colleague hurriedly came over to wipe her back. Fortunately, although Chairman Wu is a bit muddy, he is not completely unreasonable, and when he saw Qi Yun drink this glass of wine, he really fulfilled the covenant and no longer pestered her. In the end, Director Guo saw that the atmosphere on the wine table was a little stiff, so he offered to sing a flower to help the fun.

Don't look at Director Guo's appearance, but he was once the top name in the local opera industry. People are old, but they don't get old with a golden voice, and they still look good when they sing these songs about their brothers and sisters.

"There is no navel in the field, I want your heart to hang up all night,

I couldn't eat dinner at night, so I carried the steamed bun in my hand;

The sickle cuts the wood, and the people come from afar.

I was so busy that I was wearing my shoes, and I wanted to get a pimple in my heart;

I can't help but think about it, and I planted the root of naughty ......"

Qi Yun was suddenly stunned when she heard this flower, as if she was enchanted, the past years passed by in front of her eyes like a movie, her years of teaching in the countryside, her dark and shy love secret, her willful but unregrettable blooming youth.

Director Guo's singing continues:

"When I see it, I want to tremble, and I think about it rotten;

The field has turned round, and you have become an eggplant in the garden,

We didn't have to worry about it, and we immediately couldn't stand......"

Qi Yun's lonely smile in the dark, what a passionate love this is! She loved so passionately, didn't she? But now the flame of love is extinguished, leaving her alone to trek through the dark and cold world.

Who said that? The darkest part of my life will eventually be completed by myself.
