Chapter 57: Tanabata (3)

"In the spring, the seeds begin to sprout in the ground; In the summer, it gradually becomes leafy; And after the arrival of autumn, the abundant fruits appear; Then in the winter, the leaves begin to wither, and everything returns to square oneβ€”year after year, and over and over again.

"Isn't life like this, doing the same things mechanically every day, from babies to adults, and then gradually aging, how many so-called meaningful things can there be in a person's life?"

Ye Xiaojing looked at the brilliant burning sky lanterns in the sky and said in a low voice.

"So, what do you see now?"

"Huh?" Ye Xiaojing looked at him confusedly.

Guan Wenxiang raised his head and looked at the sky:

"While the sky lanterns that have risen into the sky are burning and destroying, there are new sky lanterns that are constantly rising and replenishing, which is why the whole sky looks so bright; But each of these lamps, from the moment it is lit, to its lift-off, and finally to its complete burning, has its own unique beauty.

Which of these two scenarios do you see? Is it just the lights in the sky, or the beauty of the flowers? Ye Xiaojing, can you tell me? ”

"Iβ€”"

Ye Xiaojing looked at the sky carefully, this time, she found that Guan Wenxiang was right, every lamp rising from the ground has its own beauty, and this beauty has not been overshadowed by the brilliance of the entire sky.

Guan Wenxiang mentioned the pink "heart"-shaped sky lantern: "Everyone can have their own brilliance, firmly believe in this, you will lose a lot of confusion." Now, let this lamp go to the sky with your expectations and goals to meet with youβ€”"

"Good!"

Ye Xiaojing picked up the pen, wrote her wish on the largest sky lantern, and lit all the lanterns with her own hands, and as she let go, the pink lantern slowly rose to the sky with a bright fire.

The wind blows gently in the summer night, and the lanterns float in the air, accompanied by the bright fireworks in the distance, which has a dreamlike beauty; As the sky lantern rose higher and higher, it became smaller and smaller in Ye Xiaojing's eyes, but the light it emitted became brighter and brighter.

In the end, Ye Xiaojing felt that it seemed to have become a meteor with her own wishes, and together with other meteors in the sky, it decorated this brilliant and magnificent universe and the most beautiful corner of people's hearts.

Looking at the sky lantern lit by Ye Xiaojing slowly blending into the thousands of lanterns in the sky, Guan Wenxiang also felt a little emotional, he looked down at Ye Xiaojing gently and said: "Believe me, as long as you live hard, your expectations will definitely come true!" ”

"Thank you so much today, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been willing to buy such a beautiful sky lantern!" Ye Xiaojing smiled, and suddenly made a naughty joke.

"It seems that after praying with the sky lantern, your mood is really much better!" Guan Wenxiang listened to it and laughed unconsciously.

"Yes, even though it was just a dream, it was a beautiful dream after all!" Ye Xiaojing said in a low voice.

"What are you talking about?" Guan Wenxiang was stunned and asked subconsciously.

"I'm thinking", Ye Xiaojing stuck out her tongue and continued, "I'm going back so late today, young master, he's probably going to be angry again-"

Guan Wenxiang frowned slightly, and said casually: "Could it be that your young master is not a festival today?" ”

"He-"

Ye Xiaojing was about to answer, but the intimate figure of Lu Yunyi and Yue Lei just now suddenly appeared in her mind, and she was stunned.

Although she was full of doubts, she finally suppressed the ** of the inquiry, and simply shook her head and said, "Young Master Cheng, how he will celebrate the festival today, I don't know-"

"Ye Xiaojing, I have a proposal, I don't know if you are willing to accept it?" Guan Wenxiang suddenly looked at her and said.

"What proposal?"

Guan Wenxiang said slowly: "I hope that you can return to the Guan family!" If you are willing to come back, you don't have to worry about the salary, I will not pay less than the Cheng family, are you willing? ”

"Back to the Guan Clan?!" This proposal surprised Ye Xiaojing.

"Yes! Maybe you are not confident, but I can tell you with certainty today that you are actually very capable of working. Moreover, presumably Cheng Qixin also thinks so-"

"How so?" Ye Xiaojing subconsciously wanted to refute.

"Don't be in a hurry to deny it first", Guan Wenxiang raised his hand slightly, stopped her and said, "You have been in the Cheng family for so long, Cheng Qixin's character should be better known than me, if your performance at work has been very poor, I think he can't tolerate you for so long, what do you think?" ”

Ye Xiaojing was dumbfounded.

After such a long period of contact, she knows that Cheng Qixin is a person with a strong purpose, as long as she sets a goal, she must find a way to achieve it; And this characteristic is manifested in the treatment of employees, which is manifested in rewards and dismissals - for employees with poor work performance, Cheng Qixin has always been harsh and merciless.

"However, I often don't do well enough at work, it seems that there will always be something lacking, and I can't meet the requirements of the young master......" Ye Xiaojing thought about it, and said with both hesitation and some distress.

Guan Wenxiang smiled slightly, "That's precisely because you have the potential to perform better, if you don't have more expectations for your ability, why would he use this way to force you to improve?" ”

Is that really the case?

Ye Xiaojing's eyes widened, and she didn't know whether to believe this for a while.

As if seeing her doubts, Guan Wenxiang continued: "Everyone in the upper position will have their own way of treating their subordinates, Cheng Qixin is still too young, so he will inevitably have too much sharpness when dealing with things, he can't make mistakes in this way of dealing with it, but it is obviously not very suitable for you." ”

Ye Xiaojing nodded convincingly, if Cheng Qixin could be gentler when pointing out her mistakes, she would definitely have more confidence in the face of work than now.

Guan Wenxiang hesitated slightly, and finally said: "There is also the most critical point, at present, the Cheng family is cooperating with the Wanxing Foundation, what does this mean, you should be very clear, right?" ”

Ye Xiaojing was slightly stunned, "Young Master, he promised me-"

Guan Wenxiang said: "As far as I know, he only has you as an assistant now, so, when he is in contact with Wanxing, do you perform your duties as an assistant, or do you have to keep hiding aside?" ”

Ye Xiaojing was speechless, for now, she is indeed hiding, but for how long?

"Think about my proposal carefully, that bastard Yue Lei still has something to look for you, if you are in the Guan family, it will be more convenient." Guan Wenxiang finally said.

"Mr. Yue is looking for me, what is the matter?" Ye Xiaojing said curiously.

After being silent for a while, Guan Wenxiang said, "Let's wait for him to tell you himself!" ”

When he went back, Guan Wenxiang casually asked while chatting, "What wish did you write on the sky lantern just now?" ”

Ye Xiaojing looked at the sometimes bright and sometimes dim lights outside the car window, and said softly: "It's nothing, it's just a very ordinary wish." ”

Until the final separation, Ye Xiaojing did not tell Guan Wenxiang the content of the wish she wrote on the sky lantern.

Because the sentence she wrote was: I want to be with you, but it's just, just thinking about it.
