Volume 1 Fate Doesn't Originate, Trick Comes From This Life Chapter 1 Dilemma and Struggle
The moon sank and the sun rose, and a wisp of clear light pierced the turbid mist, gradually making the originally hazy battlefield clearer.
This is a vast Gobi desert, with a hint of desolation and heaviness, which continues to extend into the distance to the sky.
The Gobi Desert is called Shenkuo. Thousands of years ago, it also had another nickname, the City of Ten Thousand Cities. But today, it has become a place where countless corpses are buried.
Between the stumps and broken arms, countless warriors are still fighting hard. The strange thing is that one of the two camps fighting each other is not human. They may have eight tentacles like octopuses, or extremely thick claws, and even some of them, with two horns on their heads, a hard shell on their backs, and a thorny tail, like demons.
"Hold on! Be sure to hold on! A leader-like warrior in the human camp roared hoarsely, "The Shenkuo Gobi Desert is the last line of defense in the Pure Realm, and the outcasts must not be allowed to break through!" ”
It's just that before the human leader could speak, an incredible phenomenon appeared: in the center of the battlefield, the direction of the outcast camp, the space was distorted!
Countless abandoned warriors were torn apart on the spot, and the tide of battle turned in an instant!
On this day, the beacon smoke was everywhere, and the birds cried blood. A battle that lasted for a hundred years ended with the defeat of the outcasts.
The defeated outcasts were subjected to an unprecedented purge – they officially disappeared from this world.
......
"It's this strange dream again, and I've been going on for days on end." I stretched, sat up from my bed in the rental house, and looked at the alarm clock, it was just six o'clock in the morning. I couldn't help but sigh: "The quality of sleep is a little poor!" Is it too much pressure? ”
My name is First Fly, and I'm a recent college graduate. My last name is very strange, and most of my friends will ask me with an expression of disbelief when they see my last name for the first time, is your last name real? I don't want to explain, because I've explained it too many times, and a thousand words are choked to the corners of my mouth, and finally they all turn into one sentence, yes, my surname is first, please Baidu. Actually, I didn't mind my last name, because it was always just a code name – I didn't even know what my original last name was.
I am an orphan and grew up in an orphanage.
Among the teachers who took care of us, there was a fair-skinned and thin aunt, who was the most gentle and patient, and her name was First Core. Because of the first core, when I registered my identity, I named myself First Fly, to thank me for the few warm memories in my torn childhood.
I'm a one-eyed dragon, but I don't just have one eye.
Both of my eyes looked normal from the outside, but I didn't see a single ray of light in my right eye. I've often wondered if this dark eye might be the biggest reason for my abandonment.
I don't want to succumb to my fate. Because I always believe that even if I fall into the abyss, I must keep struggling until I am exhausted; Even if you can't escape, don't leave a trace of regret. In this way, with a little glimmer of light, I illuminated the night road that I was constantly stumbling and crawling forward, and finally was admitted to a famous university in China.
Because I have experienced pain, I will cherish it extraordinarily. In the four years of college, I studied hard, like a fat silkworm in front of a cocoon, constantly devouring all the knowledge and abilities I could get into contact with day and night. At that time, LOL was popular at school, and my roommates often played games until midnight, but I was never disturbed by their noise. Because I'm in the evening, I always learn until they end the game.
In my senior year, a female classmate expressed her love to me. Her name is Xiaowei, she is a good girl who is enthusiastic and lively, always full of positive energy, and a classmate I have had a crush on for four whole years. I never thought that the lover of my dreams would also have a crush on me. The feeling of winning the jackpot of five million instantly shattered all my sanity – we quickly got together and had the best six months of our lives.
When I was about to graduate, the counselor came to me and said that the school had a place for overseas exchange, and after discussion with the leaders, it was decided to leave this opportunity to me. The counselor solemnly told me that this was a very rare opportunity that I must grasp.
I didn't even think about it and refused. I've never felt any family affection, and I regard Xiaowei as more important than my life, and I don't dare to imagine whether I can continue to have that touch of tenderness after I go abroad - but I didn't expect that it was Xiaowei who accepted the quota for me.
That day, I drank a lot of wine, and Xiaowei cried and explained to me, but I didn't accept it, and lay silently on the bed crying.
I ruthlessly deleted all contact information about her, telling myself: you are always a person, you don't need anyone's proximity and care, you have to use your only remaining eye to watch yourself towards the glory of life.
After graduating, I gave up the opportunity to stay in school for graduate school and started heading south on my back – I didn't have much time, and I couldn't afford to spend it on pure study. Moreover, with the status of a graduate of Jinghua University, I believe that I also have enough capital to step on the platform to show my ability.
The lack of light in my right eye caused me a lot of trouble. In all kinds of recruitment, it always became the only reason for me to fail. I didn't give up and eventually set my sights on four international listed companies. I launched self-nominations and applications again and again, but all of them were in vain; I started creating opportunities to get close to the top of the business, but it all failed.
Today, as usual, I went to a café and quietly watched the boring show on the big screen - in order to make ends meet, I would go to this café to sing three days a week on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in exchange for a little salary to make ends meet.
A steaming cup of blue mountains was placed in front of me, and immediately after, a beautiful figure sat opposite.
"Thanks, I don't drink coffee" I refused. Not pretending, but to keep my mind sharp and calm, I never touch stimulant drinks.
"You sang very well just now, but your posture is a bit problematic, and when you sing in front of the audience, you habitually turn your face slightly to the right, which is not a good habit." The beautiful woman who spoke had big waves scattered on her head, her neck stretched, and her bright quality was exposed. Beneath her glamorous exterior is a dominating temperament that is enough to make most men submissive.
"Thanks, I'll take note." I said lightly - it is my old problem to habitually put the right side of my face, because my right eye cannot see.
"If you knew who I was, maybe you wouldn't be so cold to me" The beauty smiled slightly, as if she cared a little about my attitude, "Let me introduce, my name is Di Wu, and I am the vice president of Shengming Company." ”
I was stunned for a moment, Di Wu was very different from the photo on my profile - the four companies I had previously targeted, including Shengming, and I had been looking for an opportunity to get close to their HR manager, Li Cheng, recently.
"I've been observing you here for a while," Di Wu seemed satisfied with my reaction, and gently pushed a business card: "This is my business card." The HR manager of Sheng Ming Company is my cousin. In a casual conversation before, he said that there is a young man who has been recommending himself to join our company, and his resume is a potential stock, but unfortunately one eye is a little flawed. I was quite interested, so I took the time to look at your resume. Di Wu took a sip of coffee and looked at me with a slight scrutiny—as if she had time to read my information, which was a gift.
"Thank you", I looked directly into Di Wu's gaze, and said without humility or arrogance: "I can't choose my physical defects, but my ability will not let you down." Your company is indeed the one I am most looking forward to getting into. ”
"Tomorrow at eight o'clock, come to my office to find me" Di Wu said this, got up and left.
In this way, I successfully joined Shengming Company and worked in the data analysis of the marketing department - I once asked Di Wu why he chose me, and he hired him directly without going through any process. She just smiled playfully: "I have a gut feeling that you are a very good person, and I have always trusted my instincts. ”
Data analysis is a very tiring job, with boring data every day, and because of the irregular needs of leaders, it is in a state of standby.
But I don't have the slightest slack or dissatisfaction, this is the opportunity given to me by God, and my final position will never stay here.
I often meet Di Wu in the company building. Di Wu is a typical strong woman, no, a strong woman is not enough to describe Di Wu, if you want to be more accurate, I think, a female monster.
As the youngest vice president of the company, Di Wu has a super iron fist and management ability, and what is even more terrifying is that she can be proficient in all things up and down the company. I once saw with my own eyes that Wang Li, the manager of the development department, was almost forty years old, and she was like a grandson, but on the way back, with a bright smile. It is said that Di Wu had an opinion on the framework of their project, and the proposed new framework was treated like a treasure by Wang Li and led the department members to revise it overnight - and the vice president in charge of the development department was actually not Di Wu.
Then one day at the café, I met Di Wu again. She sat quietly in the seat in front of the window, sipping a glass of white water gracefully, with a trace of confusion and melancholy in her previously sharp eyes.
"Good evening, Mr. Di", I walked over and said hello. I didn't continue to sing at the café after I entered the café, but I started to get used to coming here every day for a cup of coffee - the nature of my work that often stayed up late made me break my principle of not drinking stimulating drinks, and I even began to be a little obsessed with the slightly bitter sweetness of coffee, which I felt was very similar to my life.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Di Wu looked at the time, "Now, get in the car with me." ”
“?” I looked at Di Wu with a puzzled expression, but she didn't give me time to ask questions, and threw the key to me: "You come to drive, I've drunk, take me home." ”
On the way, Di Wu suddenly put his hand on my shoulder and looked at me with a confused expression: "Xiaofei, you will stay at my house for the night tonight." ”
I couldn't help but fight a cold war. Is this the rhythm of the unspoken rules? All kinds of thoughts exploded into my heart, and for a while, I didn't know how to answer.
In fact, it's impossible to say that I don't have a little bit of thought about Di Wu. Di Wu is also twenty-five or sixteen years old, with beautiful skin and white skin, outstanding temperament, and a queen's character. Stunner, absolute stunner, and it has always been difficult for men to have any strong resistance to active stunners.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Di Wu chuckled lightly and said playfully, "Do you really think that I recruited you into the company because I instinctively decided that you were a talent?" Do you think Shengming Company will lack a talent like you? ”
Talent like you.
This sentence touched that forbidden heartstring in my heart. I quietly brushed Di Wu's jade hand and said softly: "Mr. Di, you are drunk." ”
"I'm not drunk. Let's be honest, I just fell in love with you. Di Wu stared at my face, as if the queen was examining her knight: "The first time I saw your photo, I felt inexplicably good. It's just that I didn't expect that your ability is so good. I'm really getting fond of you. ”
Looking at Di Wu's delicate face, I inexplicably thought of Xiaowei. I don't know where Xiaowei is now? Who are you with?
A wave of resentment and reluctance rose. Yes, I only have myself, I am always a person, I want to be in charge of my own life, I want to be a human being. What's the point of sacrificing a little for all of this?
I gritted my teeth hard, slowly lowered my head, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, Mr. Di."
And so it all happened.
Early the next morning, Di Wu regained her high-minded queen demeanor, and I left early with a sense of humor.
It's just that I don't know why, but I'm extremely impressed by a scar on Di Wu's body. It was a scar left on the left side of Di Wu's neck, about ten centimeters, the scar was so small that if I hadn't had a skin-to-skin relationship with her, I wouldn't have been able to find it at all—it was like a strand of hair, quietly falling on Di Wu's delicate and delicate neck.
Di Wu seemed to be unusually sensitive to this scar. Last night, my thumb inadvertently pressed a little too the scar, causing Di Wu to let out a cry of pain.
It seems that it should be the sequelae of an old injury. I told myself to avoid touching it in the future. After all, putting aside Di Wu's status as vice president, I am not a rude person to women.
