Chapter 8: The University, The Last Imprint
Time is slow and leisurely every day under the feet, but in the blink of an eye it is 4 bigger, time is amazing, say it is slow, it is fast 3 years is like 3 days, say it is fast, but he is slow for a second like 10,000 years. The senior New Year's Day party is being prepared, and all majors have to recommend programs, and Xiaoyu, who has been silent for several years, is a full ice beauty in the eyes of her classmates. Suddenly, she felt that her college life was really boring, and she missed Liyan every day, and the rest was the study of the mechanical office. At the last party, she had an idea, she wanted to leave something here, just about her, at least, she had been here. She reported a solo dance program "A True Story" to the program team, and after the initial screening, she also passed, but the program team felt that her program was nothing new. In fact, Li Yuxuan took a little effort behind this, until the rehearsal, and after her show came on, the whole audience was so quiet, only to see a girl in a white shirt and blue cowboy wearing white skates, appearing lightly in front of everyone's eyes, like a snow-white red-crowned crane, dancing melodiously with the sad music, mourning its loneliness, sadness, and finally flying gently past. At the end of the song, applause erupted. On the day of the New Year's Day party, a woman in a white dress like a red-crowned crane appeared on the stage, with a smart dance, sad eyes, just like the lyrics, and a red-crowned crane flew by gently, gently.
The audience was silent except for the performance, and the applause at the end of the song roared. Li Yuxuan was proudly introducing the girl dancing the red-crowned crane dance on the stage to his buddy ** Qiao (known as the bridge gang leader) who had just returned from abroad, he only saw Yuqiao's focused eyes, thinking that this was his approval of his vision, but he didn't know which red-crowned crane girl had been deeply imprinted in Yuqiao's heart.
After the end of the song, Li Yuxuan introduced Xiaoyu to Yuqiao, Xiaoyu had a lot of thoughts when she heard the name Yuqiao, which reminded her of a period of memories, the past is vivid, there was once a rain bridge, but it is just a bridge, and it has passed through the rain bridge countless times, and has also left countless footprints of their youth. This made Xiao Yu feel very familiar with the man named Yuqiao in front of her, as if it was in her memory, for the first time, she paid more attention to a person because of a person's name, this person was Yuqiao, because this name made her thoughts about Liyan more clear. They were talking and laughing, and Xiaoyu's expression always revealed a trace of sadness, and Yuqiao couldn't figure it out. In the next few days, Yuqiao would go to their school to invite Yuxuan and Xiaoyu to eat, chat, and play baseball together. Once they talked about their names, they suddenly felt that the three of them were very fateful, and they all had a pronunciation of yu in their names. Xiaoyu is also happy to be with them, because it is natural, like friends, buddies, and brothers and sisters, Xiaoyu feels that he is gradually returning to the flamboyant and rebellious Xiaoyu he once was. In the past two years, she has often invisibly reminded herself that she must become better, have a more cheerful personality, and not be dull every day, otherwise she will fall behind with Liyan, and besides, she doesn't know what else she can do. But the sadness often flashed in her eyes, and only she knew that it was because she missed her words. And now every time he sees the returning Yuqiao, she can always think of Liyan, and thinks that Liyan will probably come back soon, but for more than two years, Liyan has not heard from her except for the two calls he had just given her when he went out. In the past two years, some people have chased her one after another, and there are even junior students, she uses Li Yuxuan as a shield every time, Li Yuxuan has no objection, but every time he asks Xiaoyu to stand guard for him when he practices swimming.
However, since the New Year's Day party, Xiaoyu has become a rising star in the school, how many boys are amazed and admired, and how many girls are envious and jealous. Li Yuxuan's dormitory caused an uproar, asking him to treat him, in the eyes of his roommates, Xiaoyu is Li Yuxuan's girlfriend, but only the two of them know that they are just real friends, but Li Yuxuan is happy to think so by others, but his heart is more tormented.
In the blink of an eye, after the New Year, I returned to school and began to look for a job, everyone was busy designing their resumes, Xiaoyu was also busy, but Li Yuxuan was wandering around all day long, not in a hurry, and often followed the ** bridge to swim and play ball. Also, Li Yuxuan's home is in S City, and his family background seems to be good, which can be seen from his daily expenses, as for the ** bridge, she doesn't know much, she only thinks that he is much more stable than Li Yuxuan, and it may also be related to the fact that he is two years older than them, but he hasn't asked much about his family Xiaoyu, and sometimes he is curious, but Li Yuxuan said that this can't be asked, so he didn't mention it again, but when they were together, all the expenses were ** bridge, and he drove an expensive sports car every day, The real person is not like those drivers who like to play sports cars, he is a bit reserved, calm, and more rigorous than his peers. Xiao Yu has never understood how he and Li Yuxuan can be good friends, and she doesn't understand that she actually chatted with him about this somewhat boring ** bridge, although sometimes she will be embarrassed and silent, and she will find topics with each other in order to break the silence. In the past few days, various job fairs have appeared one after another, Xiaoyu has been running job fairs again and again, and sometimes she can't even hear Li Yuxuan's phone calls or it is inconvenient to answer them because of written exams and interviews.
"It's not easy to meet you! Fish Beauty? Li Yuxuan said with some sarcasm.
"No, aren't you busy looking for a job! Otherwise, what will you do to make a living in the future? "The little fish playfully shot back." It's so stressful! ", the little fish sighed.
"Think Yali is big? Then put it in the refrigerator and freeze it!? “
"Why?"
"The heat rises and the cold shrinks! I don't understand this."
"Get up, you're good, take me to the water"
"Alas! I said that you, new students, know how to run job fairs within the school, why don't you go to other colleges and universities."
"Oh, too! Talent, I usually see you swaggering, but I didn't expect that there is still something desirable at a critical time. "The little fish expressed appreciation.
"Seriously, I have a little news here, zh bank is recruiting employees, the pay is good, as long as the fresh graduates, how? Do you mean to go?
"Really? So how can I submit my resume? Xiaoyu asked eagerly, "I'm afraid it's difficult, this kind of private bank is developing rapidly, and they need graduates with more strength and higher education, I'd better forget it!" Don't touch the dust! Xiao Yu was deflated as he spoke.
"Where can I be! You are so beautiful and loved by everyone, how can you not apply, don't worry! Definitely."
"Fuck off, do you think I'm the kind of person who relies on my face?" How many years, Xiaoyu is the first time to be so rough, in fact, she also thinks she is very beautiful, but she really dare not mention it in terms of learning, although she has been studying hard and wants to be a good student, but there is 1 time to make up the exam, English level 4 almost can't pass, resulting in not being able to graduate smoothly. Maybe hearing this irritates her.
"No, I mean you have a good image and a good education, you always have to try anyway, don't you often say that you have to seize a glimmer of hope, if you don't try it, just shoot yourself and say no, so what's the point of you going to so many job fairs?" Li Yuxuan saw that Xiaoyu was angry and hurriedly explained.
"Well, that's what you said, I'm sorry, did I just get very hot?"
"It's okay, hehe, it's okay" Li Yuxuan pulled the latter one well, which was meaningful, and Xiaoyu naturally understood. "Oh, my dad knows people from Zhonghan Bank, and nothing else can help, but it should still be okay to help you submit a resume."
"Are you telling me to go through the back door?"
"No, my dad is just their client, anyway, I know, submit a resume, nothing else can help you, I can only say that I will give you a chance to apply, as for the result, it depends on your own performance."
Xiaoyu nodded seriously, and she also felt in her heart that this was not bad, it was an opportunity.
On April 25, 2008, Xiaoyu received an internship notice for one month at Zhonghan Bank. She didn't mention how excited she was, she picked up the phone and wanted to tell the news to Liyan who was far away for the first time, but unfortunately she knew it very well in her heart, and she could only think about it, she was stunned, looking at this small white mobile phone, after a few years, the corners have been rubbed a little notch, and the white has been slightly yellowed, not as white as it used to be, and then the excitement and happiness of the moment she received the mobile phone came to her mind, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly unconsciously. When she came back to her senses, she still dialed Li Yuxuan's number, and she was still happy to share the good news with him, and promised to invite Li Yuxuan to a big meal. It is said that when the car accident was on the opposite side of the car, when the parents died, the owner of the car found the village committee of the district and gave her a relief money, she has been saving, plus the parents' life savings.
It's just that his cousin Kang Lilong failed the college entrance examination in his freshman year, and he had no intention of repeating it, so he followed Yang Sen to be Yang Sen's younger brother and followed him to run long-distance transportation, but once he was lying under the car to repair the car, the car did not stop steadily, and his legs were broken by the truck, which was like a bolt from the blue for his uncle's family, and since then his aunt's family has been in trouble. But soon after, the paper mill where my uncle was located was shut down because the pollution was too serious, and my uncle lost his job, which made my uncle's family even worse. This time the work is basically settled, her heart is filled with indescribable excitement, she has always had a thought, when her conditions allow, she wants to find the kind person who once gave her the relief money, and when she works, she will save money little by little and return it to him, if it were not for the condition of her cousin and uncle at that time, she would not have used the relief money, and her parents' savings were enough for her to finish college.
On this day, Xiaoyu invited Li Yuxuan to eat as promised, they chose a Western restaurant, but they didn't expect that when she arrived, in addition to Li Yuxuan and ** Qiao, they were already sitting and waiting, they were still talking and laughing during the meal, Yuqiao was still the same, wearing expensive suits, and Yuxuan and Xiaoyu had a clear difference, the two of them were always students, and Yuqiao always spoke warmly, but often cold.
On the first day of her internship, she was very fortunate to be arranged to the wealth management center of the headquarters of Zhonghan Bank, and the director recommended a senior financial manager to tutor her, and everyone called her Sister Chen. Originally, she thought that she would start with the most basic teller like other employees, because it seems that the industry rules of the banking industry are like this, and newcomers must have front-end experience, but she did not.
A month later, Xiaoyu signed a deed of sale with Zhonghan Bank as she wished, and since then she has officially become a member of ZH Bank, and she has a new attitude and humble study at work, and she found that what she used at work is very different from what she learned in school, and she will not know many subtle things, such as at the beginning of the internship, she didn't even know how to use the fax machine and how to use the scanner. Fortunately, the clerk Xiaomei often teaches her, because there are too many businesses in the financial center, and there is only one clerk in Xiaomei, and she is often too busy, so often various financial managers will also do some miscellaneous things. Another important discovery is that in the process of following Manager Chen to meet customers, Manager Chen is so easy, calm, and able to speak, and the head of the financial products is the way, and the customers all agree with her, focusing on her face at all times with a friendly smile, as if she was born with a smiling face, and her white teeth smile and welcome people. Back in the staff dormitory, she felt very tired, because obviously she had not yet adapted to the life of high heels, her feet had worn out blisters, and the pain was unbearable, but she just endured the hasty rinsing with water, facing the mirror in the bathroom, she tried to try all kinds of toothy smile movements, but it was not as comfortable as Sister Chen's smile. This may have something to do with her sad mood for many years, she smiled very little, and most of them were tranquil and sad.
At the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Xiaoyu nested in the dormitory, waiting in front of a small TV, which was a TV set that the unit had been equipped with for a long time, not big enough, I saw Liu Huan and Britney singing "Me and You", at this moment, Xiaoyu's thoughts were flying, yes! Liyan, I live in the same global village with you heart to heart, are you also watching the Beijing Olympics at this moment? It's just a lyric, but Xiaoyu feels that the three words of global village make her and Liyan not seem so far away.
