Chapter 261: Ordinary Life
In a person's life, there will always be several opportunities to change their destiny, and the college entrance examination is undoubtedly the most common and equal opportunity recognized by contemporary Chinese. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Laura, who was born in a small third-tier city in eastern China, looks back many years later and can't tell whether she wasted or made the most of this opportunity. When she filled out her application after the college entrance examination, she would rather give up a key university in the northwest than step into a second-rate university in the capital region. In that small city, Laura's family background is good, her father is a middle-level cadre in the government department, and her mother is a teacher in a key middle school.
When Laura graduated from university, the consequences of the university's expansion for more than ten years were gradually revealed, and many students who were still looking forward to the pride of the sky stepped into society from the ivory tower, and suddenly found that there were no more ready-made rice bowls waiting for them. Especially for those students who come out of the poor countryside and hope to change the status quo of poverty after graduating from university, there will be a more bumpy road to survival waiting for them.
Laura, who is not a famous university and a non-popular major, still stubbornly stayed in Beijing, refusing to accept the position of the public institution that her parents relied on local connections to find her, and willingly started a Beipiao family.
I'm not interested in your, can you get to the point quickly? Gu Lian thought to himself, clenched his fist patiently, and coughed a few times, hoping to make Laura, who was still talking about his miserable job search experience, realize this and shut up quickly. Laura's experience has some similarities with Gu Lian, and because of this, she is particularly impatient and doesn't want to hear it.
I don't know if Laura is deliberate, turning a blind eye to Gu Lian's impatience, completely immersed in his own memories, and planning to talk endlessly.
Gu Lian couldn't help but speak, "So it's very difficult for you to find a job, you changed more than a dozen jobs and jumped to several companies, and finally after being harassed by your boss or customers again, you resigned decisively and entered Huayue, worked hard for several years, and after staying up to a certain level of qualifications, you were selected and hired by Mo Wanlin." After Gu Lian heard this, he simply interjected and summarized Laura's subsequent career in two or three sentences.
When Gu Lian was in Huayue, he had a general understanding of the assistants and brokerage teams around the company's important artists. She didn't focus on Laura's profile, but that's about it when she looked at it.
"When Mo Wanlin met me, I was planning to leave Huayue and go back to my hometown." Laura did not stop Gu Lian's Yue Lian, but acquiesced and directly talked about Mo Wanlin.
Now, Gu Lian finally got a little interested in listening, "Oh, she was quite kind at that time?" ”
"Don't you ask me why I want to leave, are you afraid that I will say a lot again?" Laura saw through Gu Lian's Xiao Jiujiu, which made her embarrassed for a while, "She didn't ask me to be an assistant because I was leaving, in fact, I didn't want to leave myself." When I entered Huayue, I found that many things under the halo of stars could not be seen in detail. I was too tough at that time, I didn't know how to be flexible at all, and I was the same age as you, and I was not young, but I still thought that with my own efforts and persistence, even if I was stupid, my ability would always come out one day. I also worked hard to learn to lead an artist and be an agent, and when I finally had the opportunity to be a celebrity assistant, I was so happy that I dreamed of laughing at night. It wasn't long before I found out that the supervisor who transferred my position to the side of the star was just looking at me unpleasantly, and wanted to kick out a subordinate who would not please him at the same time that the company no longer signed with the star. ”
"The star that Huayue took the initiative to abandon is Wu Hongkang, who had to retire due to a pedophile scandal?" Gu Lian has a vague impression in his memory that Wu Hongkang's incident was one of the most sensational news in the entertainment industry that year.
"Yes, he had an accident three or four years ago, and the company swore that it would protect him, and our internal employees believed it. Later, I realized that the company was waiting for the contract to expire, and tried its best to block the media reports for a period of time, and Wu Hongkang's brokerage contract expired, and the company immediately announced the end of its cooperation, and the media began to report on it. Through this incident, the saddest thing for me was not to find out that I was being taken advantage of by the company, but to realize that I really didn't have enough ability to compete here, which was the saddest thing, so I decided to quit. ”
Gu Lian's previous impatience slowly disappeared, and she listened in silence to Laura's calm narration.
"I still remember that day when I was about to leave after handing over my work, when I passed by the hall downstairs, Mo Wanlin walked into the headquarters accompanied by several big bosses of the company, young and dazzling, which made people envious and even more jealous. It seemed that the company was cleaning up in order to meet the inspection of the relevant departments, and the hall was a little messy, and the cleaner was mopping the floor with a bucket, and put the bucket in the middle of the hall and forgot to take it. It just so happened that Mo Wanlin was about to pass by, so I took the bucket of water aside and made way for her. She looked at me, asked my name, turned her head and said to Sister Ming beside her, give me this person. ”
"So it was Mo Wanlin who inadvertently saved your career?" Gu Lian helped her summarize.
Laura shook her head, "How can I have a career, even if I really have any plans, what else can I do in the face of a strong boss like Su Juan?" ”
Of course, Gu Lian knew Su Juan's skill and courage, but she didn't agree with Laura's point of view. "Losers always have all kinds of excuses, and the opponent is too tough."
"You're right, maybe I'm too cowardly. Over the years, I no longer have other ideas, follow Mo Wanlin to do things, as long as I pay attention to her emotions alone, I don't have to care about anything else, although sometimes I feel very annoyed and tired by serving her, but compared to before, life is actually much better. Maybe after a long time, I forgot to forge ahead, until I woke up one morning and suddenly realized that I was thirty years old. Laura said sadly, "That's when I realized that I can't rely on Mo Wanlin like this for the rest of my life, I must have my own life, independent of her." ”
"Coupled with Penny's appearance and Yin Rongyu's provocation, you did what you thought you would never do before, and you and Boss Bao came together very happily?" Gu Lian felt that Laura was indeed weak.
"I've become the kind of woman I used to hate the most. But you know how terrible it is for a thirty-year-old woman to have no career and no man? Most of the women my age in my hometown are about to start elementary school. "Laura's peace today is starting to show a bit of signs of being broken.
Saying that the sky is not that you can't get rid of the eye strength of a small place, envy the prosperous life of a big city, and still be confined to the small place where you live ideologically.
Gu Lian thought like this, trying her best to be mean, not wanting to have any sense of identity with her. I am not the same as Laura. Gu Lian deliberately persuaded herself, didn't speak, just looked at Laura silently, and waited for her to calm down her emotions.
"I'm really scared. I'm not sincere with Boss Bao, and so is he, we're just willing to play a game. I found that once I really let go of the previous little entanglement, looking back, it was actually just like that, I wasted so many years of youth in vain, how stupid. In addition to the true feelings, the boss of the bag is actually a very good person, as long as I am not vexatious, the lion opens his mouth, most of the requirements can meet me, and he is willing to make me happy, and really coaxes me like a little girl. Over the years by Mo Wanlin's side, I thought that my vision was high, and many of the men I saw were either rich or noble, and they always wanted to catch up and curry favor with each other, and really won a wishful husband. Then look around, there are too many women who think like me than me, who are young, good-looking, well-styled, and capable. No matter how groveling I am, those elite, rich and handsome people who are spoiled by women are like Rong Shao's ......" Speaking of this, Laura was slightly tranceful, "How can I look at you more?" will only wear out his self-esteem, slowly become more and more inferior, and forget that he was originally a school flower pursued by many people in high school. What's the point of that kind of man, even if he has a relationship for a while, sooner or later he will get rid of himself who is serving in every way? It's better to take advantage of the fact that you still have capital, and date a rich ugly man like Boss Bao who knows how to be funny, tolerant and generous, and enjoy the feeling of being cared for......"
Gu Lian kind of understands the reason why Laura has to call herself to the airport to talk to herself, if these words are really her heart, even to her friends, she can't say that she is very happy to be a junior, she enjoys it, and regrets not discovering the benefits of being a junior earlier, right? And Gu Lian, as the person who knows her behavior best during this time, Laura doesn't have to worry about anything. Anyway, Gu Lian knows everything about her, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
Gu Lian also felt that although Laura said so much emotion at length, these words, perhaps, were not the final conclusion of the other party.
"However, I was wrong." Laura drank the water from her glass in one gulp, "Just when I thought I had discovered a new world, Mrs. Bao appeared, and she almost tore my clothes in front of so many people!" That's when I realized how scared I was, how scared! The first thought in my mind was that if this matter was known to the people in my hometown, it would be a pillar of shame that I would never be able to get rid of, and I would not have to live. It was this incident that made me understand that I can't be that kind of person, although I want to be happy for a while, but subconsciously I never see myself as a person here, I can't be so free, I can't afford to play. The big city is very good, very beautiful, very prosperous, very lively, very exciting, maybe it's not that it can't accommodate me, but I haven't integrated into it. ”
Laura's expression became extremely calm and serene.
"So, when Mo Wanlin quickly and promptly ordered Su Juan to contact the media to put an end to any news of this incident, and try to downplay the matter on the Internet as little as possible, although she was not mainly for me, I was still very grateful to her. I can't imagine how I would spend the rest of my life if this was hyped up and the Internet was full of pictures of me. ”
"That's it, so you are the one who is going to go and his words are kind, and you intend to repay the old master, and bring me here, and take all the blame on you, and say good things for her?" Gu Lian thought of Laura's previous words to explain to Mo Wanlin, and a sneer appeared on her face again.
"I'm telling the truth, believe it or not. Mo Wanlin is very willful and selfish, but with her quality and patience, she is not so careful as to tell her subordinates what means to do things, she only asks about the results, and does not lead the means. If she was such a person who liked to experience everything first-hand, she would not directly hand over many affairs to Su Juan to take care of. In terms of intrigue, she is even less good at it. Over the past few years, I have learned more about her than the average person. Of course, if you don't understand, that's okay, you can continue to do what you want, I don't have the strength and no qualification to stop it. However, you do have to pay attention to one person. ”
"Who?"
"Shen Lianju." Laura mentioned her in a somewhat frightened tone, "This person is the most terrifying, and she is the one who proposed this method." (To be continued.)
