The thundershowers came and went quickly, except that there was still a little moisture in the air, and even the eaves were no longer dripping on the ground, and the whole world suddenly calmed down, and the moon that had just been flooded by dark clouds was like a wronged woman who half-concealed her resentful face.

I seemed to be able to imagine the picture of the girl walking through the alley with her head bowed in my wide clothes, and driving the white Mercedes-Benz car alone through the flickering neon lights of the city, then stopping at the school gate of Nanyi, and finally walking into the dormitory on the campus path accompanied by a row of street lamps, ending the day's life.

What kind of happiness is it to envy these students who are still in college, who can still receive higher education while having freedom and fantasy?

I haven't experienced it anyway.

Chen Yi walked out of the bathroom, she found a small square stool and sat down next to me, she didn't seem to care too much about the change of clothes of the girl in the bathroom, and asked me, "Why don't you eat the supper I bought for you?" ”

"I'm not hungry, I've already put it in the fridge, so I'll save it for breakfast tomorrow morning." I said as I picked up the cigarette case from the stone table, ready to light another one, all these years by myself, sometimes I really need a cigarette to dispel some unspeakable emotions in my heart, of course, others may not be willing to listen to it.

Chen Yi took the cigarette from my hand, frowned and said, "Don't smoke in front of me." ”

I looked at her, and suddenly felt a little funny, I learned to smoke in high school, for no other purpose, but I thought that the man who smoked was very profound, and imagined that Chen Yi would like me to smoke, but at that time she was not the kind of girl who would like bad boys, so that she scolded me for smoking in front of her for the first time, scolded me for being willing to fall, scolded me for not being conscious, and scolded me for being naïve......

Later, I didn't smoke again, but on the night before she left for Beijing to go to college, I stood at the door of her courtyard and smoked another cigarette, and then relied on this cigarette to hold back the tears that fell because of the imminent separation.

Chen Yi threw the cigarette into the garbage basket, then took out a stack of money from his handbag and put it on my lap, and said, "Jiangqiao, here is 5,500 yuan, I like the brooch you gave me very much, but you can't spend money so indiscriminately, you know?" ”

"Hey! It's said that it's a gift for you, is it still a gift if you give me money? As I spoke, I shoved the money back into Chen Yi's hand.

Chen Yi said to me earnestly: "Jiangqiao, learn to save a little money, there will be a lot of places where you need to spend money in the future, I don't know if you realize these yourself?" ”

I smiled nonchalantly and replied: "Actually, I'm really happy compared to most people floating in Nanjing, at least I'm a local, and there is a small courtyard, I can't be hungry or frozen, right?" ”

Chen Yi sighed lightly: "But there is only you in this small courtyard, and no one can live a happy life with yourself, right?" ”

I didn't speak, just looked at the flowers and plants placed not far away, I always felt that they could be my friends in my life without talking, but sometimes I was still lonely with them, because after all, I was separated from them by spring, summer, autumn and winter, they have a flower season, and they will wither, but my life has never stopped.

Chen Yi forcibly stuffed the stack of money into my pocket in an almost barbaric way, then picked up the umbrella placed in the corner of the wall, and walked out of the courtyard.

She said to me, "Your little girlfriend looks pretty good, she's pretty lively, so you're going to have to come on, Jiang Qiao." ”

"What?"

……

This somewhat chaotic night finally came to an end with Chen Yi's departure, I lay on the bed, thinking about a few things that had happened recently, I couldn't tell the stakes of these things, especially the appearance of that girl, although I was sure that she had no ill will towards me, but it had an impact on my life after all. I have a very strong hunch that this kind of influence will go through a process of quantitative change to qualitative change, and then completely change my life, and whether this change is good or bad, I am afraid no one can say clearly.

Of course, there is another situation, the appearance of this girl is just a small episode in life, it comes and goes faster.

The next day, I got up early, today I should go to work in the company, and then Chen Yi promised to negotiate with the leaders of Taiwan to discuss the decision and report to Lao Jin, now we are taking over a single 3 million wedding business, any link can not be a little sloppy, because the bigger the customer, the lower the tolerance for us, this is the experience I have accumulated after working with different customers for so many years, so after gradually calming down, I can understand Lao Jin's mood of walking on thin ice.

Today's weather is good, I took advantage of the time to wash my changed clothes, as for the girl's changed clothes, of course I can't help wash them, anyway, she will come again.

After drying the clothes, I warmed up the supper left by Chen Yi last night, and after eating, I pushed my bicycle to the outside of the alley, and when I passed by the "mood coffee shop", I found that Chen Yi was eating breakfast inside, we said hello through the window, Chen Yi signaled me to call again, and she would tell me the result of asking the Taiwan leader for instructions before noon.

……

After a while, I came to the company, and happened to meet Luo Sumei in the elevator, and she still asked me with great concern: "Jiang Qiao, are you getting better with a cold?" ”

I was a little embarrassed, so I simply said bluntly: "Actually, I didn't feel uncomfortable yesterday, but I was a little tired, and I was a little skeptical about my current job, boss, can you understand the tiredness of doing a job for 6 years?" ”

Luo Sumei smiled and said: "I'm very happy that you can say it, don't hold it in your heart, life is inevitably confused and confused, think when I quit my job in a public institution and went to the sea to start a business with Lao Jin, I am often as confused as you are now, but as long as you determine a clear direction and work hard for it, you will not feel tired, so your biggest problem now is that you have not made a reasonable career plan for yourself." ”

Luo Sumei pointed out my problem to the point, and couldn't help but envy her culture and vision, and then sighed: "Boss, you said that you are a cultural person working in a public institution, how could you marry Lao Jin, a big straw bag?" Really, sometimes as a man, I feel that Lao Jin is stumbling and has no masculine charm at all. ”

Luo Sumei slapped me and didn't let me say bad things about Lao Jin, and then explained with a smile: "Lao Jin has his goodness, our feelings in that era are simpler than now, maybe I think Lao Jin is self-motivated, and other aspects are not considered so much, sometimes people think too much, but they will be afraid to miss fate, it turns out that Lao Jin is really a very good man, at least he trained Jin Qiu (Lao Jin and Luo Sumei's daughter) very well." ”

I still admire Jin Qiu very much, after graduating from Nanjing University, she went to a prestigious university in Australia to study for a master's degree in business administration, she is an out-and-out female student, much stronger than my high school level, I also smiled and replied: "I think Jin Qiu still inherited your excellent genes...... By the way, it's time for her to come back from studying abroad, right? ”

"Well, I heard it was October this year."

"That's going to be soon."

In the small talk, I walked into the company with Luo Sumei, I didn't want Luo Sumei's bag to be put down, I received a phone call, in the process, her face became ugly, and when she hung up the phone, I asked with concern: "What's wrong, boss?" ”

"Lao Jin fell while he was doing scene decoration in the hotel and has been sent to the hospital."

My heart suddenly tightened, I should have been responsible for the decoration of this wedding scene, but because I didn't come to work yesterday, I guess I was personally picked up by Lao Jin.

Without thinking too much, I hurriedly asked, "Is he okay?" ”

"The person is very sober, and it is estimated that he broke a bone." Luo Sumei replied as she hurriedly picked up her purse and prepared to rush to the hospital.

I also hurriedly followed her, preparing to go to the hospital to see Lao Jin, although the accident was only a small probability, but I was still somewhat responsible.

……

When I arrived at the hospital, Lao Jin had already filmed, his legs were bandaged, and he was lying on the hospital bed humming, and when he saw me coming, he opened his mouth and scolded: "Jiang Qiao, you little bitch, Lao Tzu owes you in his previous life, do some work for you, you can fall...... I almost didn't get angry with Lao Tzu! ”

I saw that his scolding was sonorous and powerful, and my hanging heart finally let go, and I walked up to him and said: "Yo, Mr. Jin, the bandages on this leg are like archaeological relics, and they are finally related to culture." ”

Lao Jin looked at me with a shivering face, and scolded: "You little bitch don't squeeze me, Lao Tzu eats more salt than you eat." ”

The patient is big, I laughed "hehe", didn't talk back to Lao Jin, and then touched his old leg that looked like it was about to break, Lao Jin opened my hand and asked with a cold face: "Have you done anything about Chen Yi presiding over the wedding?" ”

"She said to explain the situation to the leaders of Taiwan, and planned to preside over the wedding without charging an appearance fee, so that she should be able to avoid violations."

Lao Jin covered his face with both hands, then wiped it heavily from his face, and sighed in a lost voice: "It's worth it, even if you fall me to death!" ”

Luo Sumei reproached: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”

Lao Jin didn't seem to be in pain anymore, his face rarely showed a serious look, and he said to Luo Sumei: "Sumei, you take 60,000 yuan from the company's account later, we can't ask for this cheap, there are policies above, and there are countermeasures below, we won't go through the contract for this account, and Jiang Qiao will hand it over to Chen Yi privately, everyone is a friend and can be trusted." ”

Luo Sumei nodded, and then Lao Jin didn't let us waste time on him, and paid us all back to the company.

On the way back, on the way, Luo Sumei took out 60,000 yuan from the bank and handed it to me, and when it was almost noon, I finally received a call from Chen Yi, but I was full of apprehension at the moment of connection, because she did not promise me that she could 100% persuade their leaders to agree to this matter, so there was still a possibility of accidents
