Chapter 2: Getting Started

In the days of college, they were like most couples, going to self-study, eating, shopping, watching movies together, and watching the stars together on the hill behind Huaqing University. Every Saturday morning, when his roommates were still asleep with their heads covered, Kong Ling would take the bus to the medical school to find Xiao Jinmian, run with him, or stand on the playground to watch him play basketball.

The sun shone gently on his short wet hair, and he galloped across the steppe like a wild horse on the loose. Kong Ling likes to see him lying on the playground unscrupulously after playing basketball, she will hand him a bottle of water as soon as possible, watch him gurgle and drink, and then say, "Thank you, good wife." She would scratch around him with her two little paws, tugging at his ears and saying, "Who is your wife?" Is it legally recognized? Xiao Jinmian threw his jersey on Kong Ling's body, Kong Ling leaned over to his nose and sniffed it, and then said that it stinks, stinks.

Years later, although his shadow has become blurred, the smell on his body is still as solid as it was at the beginning.

On Saturday nights, as long as Xiao Jinmian had experiments, Kong Ling would always stand outside the window and wait for him quietly. It was only when she waited for him that she realized how much she liked him and depended on her.

Sometimes, she would also help him deal with the student council, watching him sweat profusely and standing in the corner and laughing secretly. It is said that men are the sexiest when they work hard! At that time, Kong Ling didn't think that this was sexy, she just thought that this man was good-looking, and her heart was trembling slightly.

They saw each other every week, and Xiao Jinmian would stick to her like a plaster from time to time. Every time she got off the bus on Saturday morning and watched Xiao Jinmian with her hands in her trouser pockets, standing under a tree waiting for her, her heart was pounding. Then, she lowered her head and checked her whole body up and down, for fear that if something was not sorted out, it would be discounted in Xiao Jinmian's heart. He's so good, she has to keep working hard to be the perfect girlfriend.

In the two years they have been together, they have traveled every road in the two schools, and their classmates laughed at them and said that the reason why the road in the school is so smooth is because they pressed it out. They ate all the snack bars near the school, climbed the only five mountains in the city, visited the large and small parks, and even went to the Martyrs' Garden. The rest of the zoos, botanical gardens, museums, art galleries, bookstores, as long as the tickets are not too expensive or do not require tickets, they have not let go.

When I graduated from my senior year, Kong Ling dormitory and Xiao Jinmian dormitory had a farewell dinner, and it was still the bar where they first kissed. Kong Ling's roommate Xia Ruofei said with a mouth full of wine: "You two have a longer love history than the Yangtze River, and it will take a few months to finish talking about this." What kind of love are you, the whole series, there is a new plot every day, and the two have a very high appearance rate, but we are chasing more all the way. ”

"That's right, you guys are a perfect match. I should give you a name, just ...... 'Golden Spirit Combination'. Look at you, show your affection on campus every day, what are you talking about! Xiao Jinmian's roommate Ma Shuai shouted with a wine bottle.

"Whoever is, you have the ability to come to one. Drink bar, drink you! Xiao Jinmian took the wine bottle and poured it into Ma Shuai's mouth.

"Yes, drink you to death!" Kong Ling also helped him pour it together.

"Oh, what a family." It was said.

……

Yes, we're family. Xiao Jinmian raised his head and looked at the sky full of stars, and sighed deeply. Now, they can finally live happily ever after.

Kong felt that his mind was in chaos, and he fell asleep unconsciously. Xiao Jinmian carried her home.

————————

When Kong Ling woke up, it was already noon the next day. She rubbed her eyes, looked at her watch again, and saw that it was already twelve o'clock, so she hurriedly dressed, packed her things, and prepared for work.

When he went to the public toilet and queued up to go to the toilet, Xiao Jinmian called.

"Little Lingling, are you up? Did you sleep well? ”

"It's good that you're big, and you don't wake me up, so I am late. You don't know that you have to deduct half a day's salary for being late. Kong Ling crackled and criticized randomly.

Xiao Jinmian hurriedly said: "I was wrong, I was wrong, my wife, breakfast has been made and is on the table." Last night's dirty laundry has been soaked in the basin, so you can wash it when you have time. I've taken a leave of absence for you, bye-bye! ”

"Who asked you to take leave, you don't know that you have to deduct the whole day's salary for taking leave. You're a dead ......" Before Kong Ling could finish speaking, Xiao Jinmian hung up the phone. Kong Ling reluctantly threw the phone into his pocket and walked into the dirty toilet in a daze.

After going to the toilet, the whole person is much more comfortable, but a little hungry. She went back to the house, sat down at the table and ate two bites of food, then ran out of appetite and began to tidy up the messy house.

Although this house is dilapidated and old, it is a warm home for him and Xiao Jinmian.

The last time I called my mother, Kong Ling lied to my mother that she lived in a one-bedroom apartment, with a separate bathroom and kitchen, as well as air conditioning and heating, and could take a hot shower. In fact, he lives in such a tube built by the residents themselves. The building has three floors, and each floor is home to 10 families, with complex staff, including clothes sellers, stall owners, grocery store owners, and office workers...... Everybody. I just blasted one away by the landlord two days ago, and it is said that he is a thief and a repeat offender.

The room they rented was less than 10 square meters, facing north, and it was a new house, so it was very damp. Because there is no kitchen, everyone cooks in the corridor, and there is no place to dry clothes, so everyone can only dry in the corridor, so there are always various unpleasant smells floating in the corridor.

After Kong Ling cleaned up the house, he hurried to work at the company. I'm still on probation, but don't make any mistakes. Now that it's so hard to find a job, if I am fired, what can I do with the rent and living expenses? Golden Cotton worked so hard to make money, he couldn't lose to him.

————————

Kong Ling has been like this since he was a child, and he is competitive in everything. When I was in college, I was studying hard to get scholarships. After meeting Xiao Jinmian, she became more serious, because Xiao Jinmian was so good, she didn't want to lose to him, and she had to compare with him in everything. In the eyes of others, the two of them are not lovers, but more like competitors.

Now that he is working, Kong Ling is not to be outdone. Xiao Jinmian works as a salesman in a medical equipment sales company, and the basic salary is not very high, but the commission is high. He had only been there for a few months, and he had signed several large orders.

Kong Ling works as a copy editor at Yige Magazine. She majored in journalism, and it was not too hard to do this work, but the editor-in-chief was a little difficult to serve, and the requirements were particularly high and strict, so she couldn't slack off at all.

As soon as Kong Ling arrived at the company, before he had time to catch his breath, the editor-in-chief, Sister Qin, came over with a stack of manuscripts.

This Sister Qin is the legendary first sister of the company, not because she is excellent, but because her original name is Sister Qin. From this name, you can see how domineering she is and how much she loves to take advantage of others.

Indeed, she is a woman who loves to take advantage, is lustful and cautious. But she just fell in love with Kong Ling's master Chen Tianqing. This man is gentle-looking, soft-spoken, with average work ability and average communication skills, but he is a native of Beijing, has two apartments at home, and has a father, who is said to be overseas, and his mother died very early. Whoever marries him will be able to fight for twenty years less, and the most important thing is not to live under the nose of the evil mother-in-law. This is a typical masochistic man, and he needs a domineering and sturdy woman like Sister Qin to conquer him. So, Sister Qin stretched out her black hand to this man. She often asked Chen Tianqing to stay alone to work overtime, and then took the opportunity to ...... As long as other women look at this kid more, Sister Qin will definitely give her small shoes to wear.

Of course, these are all things that Yang Ying, a "little gossip expert", told Kong Ling on her first day of work.

Seeing Sister Qin walking towards him, Kong Ling suddenly remembered the day he joined the company. It takes an hour's bus ride from her home to work. The bus was crowded, and all of them turned into photos, and it was the first time that Kong Ling had stood in high heels for so long. As soon as she got out of the car, she hurried to the company, but she didn't expect her heel to break and break her foot. The stalls are not necessary, and they become like this after only wearing them once.

Like the plot of many TV dramas, when Kong Ling stood there with embarrassment on her face with a capital letter, a good-looking and slender man walked over and helped her into the elevator. Kong Ling feels that this magazine is so loving, colleagues are so warm-hearted, and others should also get along very well.

But when they walked into the magazine office and came to the editorial office, they accidentally bumped into Sister Qin who was about to go to the toilet. Sister Qin glanced at the two of them and shouted, "Chen Tianqing, why are you late again!" Whoever comes to my office in a moment. Then he shook his head and walked towards the toilet.

Kong Ling subconsciously touched his faintly aching face, and secretly sighed, the leader's hair is really powerful.

Kong Ling put down her bag and sat at the desk for a while, and when Sister Qin came back, she followed her office with her head down and her shoulders down. She stood there tremblingly, waiting for Sister Qin to speak.

"What about the resume, I'll take a look." Sister Qin took her resume, looked at it and said, "Oh, it's still an undergraduate student from other places." Alright, let's get to work. ”

"Then I...... What should I do? ”

"What, do you still need me to teach you? Don't go to work yet, dumb goose! ”

"Oh, got it." Kong Ling immediately withdrew and gently closed the door.

Everyone was busy, and Kong Ling was embarrassed to disturb everyone and greet everyone. This is completely different from the entry scene I expected, at least there should be a welcome ceremony, so let's get to know each other.

Kong Ling sat in a daze, not knowing what to do, and suddenly saw Chen Tianqing coming over, so he ran over and asked what he should do.

Chen Tianqing is really a good person, so I took her to familiarize herself with the environment first, and roughly talked about the personality preferences of everyone in the editorial department. Then give her the latest issues of the magazine and let her take a closer look and study it.

Sister Qin suddenly came out of the office and saw that the two of them were talking and laughing together, so she coughed twice and said, "Chen Tianqing, from today onwards, you can take that stupid goose." ”

Chen Tianqing let out an "oh". The other colleagues immediately gathered around and whispered. Yang Ying, a female colleague sitting next to Kong Ling, said: "Dumb goose, oh, no! Kong Ling, you are blessed. ”

Kong Ling didn't know why, touched his head, and smiled unnaturally.

No, Sister Qin didn't know what medicine she had taken today, and she was nervous again. Kong Ling had to be careful and not make any mistakes.

She felt like a stump, standing between Sister Qin, the hunter, and Chen Tianqing, the prey, unable to move, in a dilemma, and always in danger of being pierced by sharp arrows. So when she was working, she always respectfully called Chen Tianqing her master, and when she spoke, she always kept a distance of half a meter from him. Especially when Sister Qin was present, she rarely said words so as not to make mistakes.

The manuscripts that Sister Qin gave to Kong Ling were all submitted by some authors, and Sister Qin asked her to select ten high-quality manuscripts by Friday afternoon, and then write an editor's note for each manuscript. This may seem like a simple task, but it's actually very difficult. Kong Ling flipped through the pages, there were at least more than a hundred manuscripts, how could he pick the best in such a short period of time? Sister Qin's requirements are very high, this Kong Ling has already heard of it, if the article she chooses does not meet her appetite, it will be miserable. If you don't do it well, you will roll up and leave, and you will be fired.

No, there's no time to think about it, she has to brace herself and review these manuscripts properly.
