When I got home, it was already 11 o'clock at night, and I thought that my father and mother were already resting, but I didn't want both of them to sit in the living room and watch TV.

I took the door and took off my slippers from the shoe rack to change them into, when my mother turned down the sound of the TV and asked me, "Zhaoyang, did you have dinner with that girl tonight?" ”

"Well, take her to the pot of the ground." After speaking, I was afraid that they would continue to ask and added, "She will go back to Suzhou tomorrow." ”

Mom nodded, and sure enough, she didn't ask any more questions, and focused her attention on the TV series that was being broadcast.

Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, Ban Dad suddenly asked, "Did she come to ask you to go back to Suzhou to work?" ”

"That's what it means." I ambiguously gave Ban Daddy an answer.

"How did you lose your job in Suzhou? Why did she say that you lost your job and had something to do with her? ”

"Daddy, I don't plan to go back to Suzhou to work, so it doesn't make much sense for you to ask, right?"

Ban Dad said with a straight face: "It's okay for you to stay in Xuzhou, find the work yourself, don't expect me to arrange it for you." ”

I said a little helplessly: "Haven't I been looking for myself recently, you can rest assured, you don't have to worry about work." ”

Daddy didn't pay any attention to me, and focused on the TV series that was on the TV.

……

Back in my room, I leaned on the bed, lit a cigarette, and couldn't help but start thinking about the work problems that need to be solved recently, if I can, I still want to work in the department store, but the entire department store in Xuzhou can be counted on my fingers, and the demand for personnel is not strong.

In the depression of not being able to see the future, I thought of Mi Cai again, and it was true that going back to Suzhou with her was a good choice for the time being, but that city really made me very tired, and I hardly had any sense of expectation, and I didn't want to go back and walk the road I had traveled again.

Sometimes people are like this, before I decided to leave Suzhou, I still have unwillingness and attachment, when I really turned leaving into a fact, those unwillingness and nostalgia gradually faded, and this is the most fundamental reason why I refused to return to Suzhou.

The next day, according to the agreement with Mi Cai, I rushed to the hotel where she was staying before 7 o'clock, and the two said goodbye in the early morning sunshine.

I handed a box in my hand to Mi Cai and said, "This is our specialty of Xuzhou, children's halva, you can chew and play when you are bored at night, and you won't eat fat." ”

Mi Cai took the box from my hand and looked at it, then smiled and said to me, "Thank you." ”

"Drive slower on the road, and when you are sleepy, go to the service station and sleep for a while." I was a little worried about Mi Cai's long-distance driving alone, admonished.

"I know."

"The ......"

Mi Cai looked at me, waiting for me to continue.

"That, come to our Xuzhou again when you have time."

Mi Cai showed a hint of disappointment on her face, but she still smiled and nodded, and then said to me: "Yes, if you have the opportunity, I hope to come to you to eat the pot here." ”

"Well, then say goodbye, take care."

"Take care!"

After Mi Cai finished speaking, she walked towards her car, and I finally remembered what I was going to say, and shouted at her back: "Mi Cai, be careful of your uncle Mi Zhongde, he won't be so light." ”

Mi Cai stopped in place, but did not turn around, nodded, did not stop any longer, started the car and drove out of the hotel parking lot.

Watching the car gradually move away with the traffic, I had an inexplicable loss in my heart, I didn't want to think too deeply about this loss, sighed and opened the car door, got into the car, and then drove the car and Mi Cai in the opposite direction.

……

Throughout the day, I applied for several more companies, and I was satisfied and dissatisfied as before, and I still need to wait for the final application result.

It was already evening, and I found the phone number of Li Xiaoyun, the first blind date in my life, and then dialed it.

The phone was answered after a while, and I said to Li Xiaoyun straight to the point: "Are you free tonight, I want to invite you to dinner, and pay back the money I borrowed from you last time." ”

"I'll be off work in a minute, where are you going to eat?" Li Xiaoyun said without refusing.

"It's up to you to decide where you like to eat."

Li Xiaoyun thought for a while and said, "Let's go eat Japanese food, a new Japanese restaurant has recently opened on Fashion Avenue, and I heard that it's good." ”

"Okay, which advertising agency do you work for, I'll pick you up."

"No need, I drove my own car today, and we can just meet at the restaurant."

“OK。”

……

I went to the newly opened restaurant on Fashion Avenue first, and after booking a place, I waited for Li Xiaoyun outside the restaurant, and about a quarter of an hour later, a red Focus hatchback stopped in front of me, and then Li Xiaoyun walked out of the car, waved at me, and asked, "Have you waited for a long time?" ”

"It's only a short while, the location has been set, let's go in."

Li Xiaoyun nodded and walked into the restaurant with me.

In the double private room, Li Xiaoyun and I sat opposite each other, and the things I ordered for a while were also on the table, in fact, I don't like to eat food, but Li Xiaoyun has such a request, I still have to maintain a man's demeanor and be satisfied with her.

While we were eating and chatting, Li Xiaoyun suddenly asked me, "Zhaoyang, do you know that we were eating at the coffee shop that day, and my mother and your mother were sitting behind us?" ”

"I know, otherwise I would have the money to pay you back so quickly, my mother scolded me enough, but Aiko gave me pocket money with all her heart." I laughed.

Li Xiaoyun smiled lightly and said, "Do you know what my mother says about you?" ”

"It's certainly not a positive review."

Li Xiaoyun laughed "haha" and said, "My mother said that she has seen a lot, and the first time she saw someone on a blind date, she would ask the girl to borrow money." ”

I sighed and said, "Alas! Your mother just denied me, it seems that our family affair can't be done, but you can't blame your mother for this, it's me who doesn't care. ”

"Don't be so pessimistic......"

I smiled and asked, "You mean we still have a show?" ”

"Uh...... That's not what I meant. ”

"Then you don't have to comfort me, let's stay in a good mood and eat this dinner today."

Li Xiaoyun nodded and said, "Then let's not talk about this, by the way, have you been looking for a job recently?" ”

"yes, I've been worrying about this for more than a week."

Li Xiaoyun asked a little surprised: "I heard that you graduated from Suzhou University, a very good school, and your father is a section chief in a state-owned enterprise, your education is not bad, it is not difficult to arrange a job for you in their unit, right?" ”

"Don't mention it, I brought it back from him!" I said a little depressed.

Li Xiaoyun smiled and didn't pay attention to this anymore, and asked again, "You were doing planning work before, right?" ”

"What, are you going to introduce me to a job?"

Li Xiaoyun nodded and said, "It can be said that the planning department of our advertising company is recruiting business planners recently, and with your work experience in planning in large department stores, the planning work of advertising companies should be able to control it, right?" ”

"It's not a big problem, the essence of the work between the two is almost the same, and you can get started quickly." I said confidently.

"Nacheng, you send me a resume when you go back, and tomorrow I will hand it over to the planning director of our planning department, if he thinks it's okay, he will make an appointment for an interview." Li Xiaoyun said.

"Okay, that's for you."

"What are you doing so politely, our two families are very familiar with Aunt Zhang (the aunt who introduced me and Li Xiaoyun) on a blind date, so I should do my friend a favor, by the way, I have a good relationship with Director Zhou of our company's planning department, and there should be no big problem with work." Li Xiaoyun smiled and said.

"Then I won't say thank you to you, I'll treat you to dinner after the work is done."

"Actually, I hope that you will invite me to dinner after you have made achievements in your work, and the food may taste better at that time." ――
