Chapter 1: Discouragement

Next Chapter

Today's clear sky made Zheng Xian's mood a little better.

Zheng Xian is ready to apply for a job, she has no family to accompany her, no boyfriend to accompany her, there is a feeling of loneliness, desolation and desolation, she feels as if she is about to go to the battlefield, she has been defeated before the fight starts.

She walked alone on the street of City A, looking at the billboards on the street, she was either a star or a person with a face in the city. She felt as small as a grain of dust, like a water weed, swaying in the wind.

It's been a week since she graduated from college, and she hasn't found a job yet. The tigress in the house has already spoken, give her another week, and if she can't find a job again, don't stay in this house.

Isn't this a blatant bully, but Zheng Xian has no way.

Dad's company went bankrupt, and it was good that this stepmother didn't sweep her out of the house, but this family is not as glamorous as before, and Dad's hair turned white overnight and he looks a lot older.

Zheng Xian knew that the bankruptcy of the company this time was a big blow to his father.

Coupled with the fact that her stepmother is falling every day, she feels that this home is no longer like the original home. The original family, at least Dad is still in charge, no one dares to be so presumptuous.

Zheng Xian was born with a good skin, and his temper was exceptionally good, like a docile little sheep.

In college, she has no shortage of suitors, and countless people call her every day, and sometimes the phone is automatically turned off after just being fully charged, and it doesn't take half a day.

Among so many suitors, handsome guys lined up, Zheng Xian's attitude was very clear, that is, he refused to be thousands of miles away, but there was one person, she didn't refuse, she didn't agree, she just hung like that. He is the senior Han Lei.

At that time, Zheng Xian was still in his sophomore year, and a chance encounter in the library sparked a spark. Later, of course, it was not a chance encounter, and under the fierce pursuit of the senior Shi Lei, Zheng Xian agreed to associate with him.

Zheng Xian still remembers that winter was particularly cold, and Shi Lei stood downstairs in their dormitory for an hour. It is impossible to say that it is not at all tempting. However, Zheng Xian swore when she was in college that she would never fall in love during college.

Because she saw a lot of couples who fell in love in college, and in the end they all went their separate ways. Some couples have even parted ways after their senior year.

There are no absolutes, everything is possible.

When Zheng Xian saw Shi Lei's infatuation with him, he was suddenly moved.

I don't know if Shi Lei's every move moved the heavens and the rain god, and it rained in the sky.

At that time, there were only two people in the girls' dormitory, one was Zheng Xian, the other was her best friend Xia Bing, and the other roommates went to the library to read books.

Xia Bing instigated her to go downstairs to give an umbrella to her senior, not only that, but Xia Bing also brought all the umbrellas.

This situation, how can she refuse. Since that day, Zheng Xian and Shi Lei have been together, and there is an inseparable couple on the college campus.

After a period of contact and understanding, Zheng Xian found that Shi Lei was a person who was very good at taking care of girls, he was thoughtful, spoke and acted resolutely, and had his own aura.

Zheng Xian was surprised to find that Shi Lei also had a super good temper, her temper was good enough, and there were people with better tempers, she felt that she had really picked up a treasure.

In this era when scumbags are prevalent, when he can meet a boyfriend like Shi Lei, Zheng Xian feels that he must have burned high incense in his last life.

A year has passed in a hurry, and it is the graduation season of another year, this year Shi Lei is a senior and Zheng Xian is a junior.

Zheng Xian is afraid that he can't escape! Because the couples she knows around her have already separated from each other.

But it turned out that Zheng Xian was too worried!

Although Shi Lei was facing graduation, it did not affect the relationship between them at all, Zheng Xian felt that the relationship between her and Shi Lei was becoming more and more stable.

During that time, Zheng Xian felt that Shi Lei was very busy, and every time Zheng Xian called, he either hung up the phone, or hung up the phone in a hurry after answering the phone for less than a minute. Is it so busy looking for a job?

Now, Zheng Xian has realized the hardships of finding a job. This morning, Shi Lei called her and told her that today was not suitable for leave, and there was a particularly important meeting that he could not be absent from. Shi Lei told her that he had just made some achievements in the company, and it was not good to ask for leave. Therefore, Zheng Xian did not embarrass him anymore.

When Zheng Xian walked out of this company, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon.

She walked aimlessly on the street alone, I don't know when the wind started, I don't know if she was dressed a little thinly, she suddenly felt a little cold.

In the early autumn, many girls love beauty and show their ladylike temperament, and they are the main ones who want to be demeanor rather than temperature. Zheng Xian was no exception, the windbreaker she was wearing was a little thin, the cool breeze was blowing, and it was chilly, and at this time she just wanted to hurry home.

Home is the place she longs for. It is said that home is a haven from the wind, but why does she feel that there is no trace of temperature in that home, a cold house, and no laughter.

Before her father's company went bankrupt, her family was still like a family, and her stepmother didn't dare to be so arrogant like now, and her sister didn't dare to be so arrogant.

That sister's name is Qin Alian, two years younger than her, and she was brought over by her stepmother.

Zheng Xian still vaguely remembers that when the tigress brought her daughter to this house, she was in a hurry and arrogant.

Later, Zheng Xian heard from her aunt that less than two years after the tigress and her man were married, her man had a strange illness and died, leaving them orphans and widows, so it was pitiful.

Half a year later, the tigress found a new home, which was Zheng Xian's father, the CEO of a company. Since then, Zheng Xian's family of two has become a family of four.

Zheng Xian also threw a friendly olive branch to the sister brought by her stepmother at the beginning, but this sister didn't appreciate it, didn't pay much attention to her, and rejected her as a sister thousands of miles away.

Zheng Xian was not hostile to this sister at first, because she felt that sister was as pitiful as her.

In her third year of high school, her mother died of illness, leaving their father and daughter behind. From then on, she often saw her father drinking sullen and sighing.

Many relatives and neighbors persuaded her father to find another one, but her father was afraid that her stepmother would treat her badly.

Zheng Xian is a very enlightened person, she thinks that her father should remarry, and besides, she thinks that stepmothers are not all vicious like they are on TV, maybe she can meet a virtuous stepmother.

After a year, Zheng Xian's father finally wanted to open it, and after being introduced by relatives, he found a stepmother for Zheng Xian and brought a younger sister. Since then, Zheng Xian's family has become lively.

When her family was still very rich, this stepmother and sister revolved around her father every day and were very polite to her. No one dares to pick their noses at her like now.

Zheng Xian also thought about telling her father the truth, but her father was the most disappointed now, she didn't want to make her father unhappy, there was no other way, so let's endure it first.

Fortunately, she has such a caring boyfriend by her side, otherwise she would have gone to cry on the Great Wall like Meng Jiangnu.

Her city is Shanghai, and it takes a little more than 2 hours to fly to Beijing. If she didn't have no money, she would want to take a plane to Beijing and climb the Great Wall now, she would also want to cry, but she would cry for herself!

Today's resume has been submitted, will it be like last time, and there will be no response. Isn't there even a little room for manoeuvre?

Zheng Xian began to doubt himself, whether there was a problem with the major he studied, and the examiner's answer was to continue to work hard next time. After this time, it will be next time, so after next time, I will continue to work hard, and if it goes on like this, there is very little hope.

Although the hope is very slim, Zheng Xian has not completely given up. She felt that she should cheer up and go for the next application.

Zheng Xian looks weak on the surface, but in fact she is a very difficult person to mess with. As long as you don't mess with her, it's okay to say anything.

Now this stepmother is domineering and arrogant at home, and even that sister Qin Alian looks down on her.

Zheng Xian saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart, but she looked at her father's face and chose to forbear. Because she doesn't want her father to be unhappy, now is the time when her father is most disappointed, and her daughter can't be ignorant.

Today was another day of discouragement, she walked aimlessly on the street, and when she walked to the Huanghe Road Food Street, she stopped. This street is definitely an ideal paradise for foodies.

She hadn't eaten for a day, and she felt so hungry at this moment, but she didn't have much money in her purse, and she was too embarrassed to ask her boyfriend for money, and even more embarrassed to ask her father for money.

The remaining more than 100 yuan in her wallet was borrowed from her best friend Xia Bing, Xia Bing said that she didn't have to pay it back, how could this be possible, there was borrowing and repaying, and it was not difficult to borrow again.

Zheng Xian plans to find a job, and the first month's salary will be used to pay off the debt, although she is a good girlfriend, but she doesn't want to owe others favors.

Early autumn evening, a little cold.

It's time to eat, and this food street is really worthy of its name, with bustling crowds and vehicles coming and going.

When she saw the food, she felt more and more hungry and panicked.

Zheng Xian looked at the spicy hot, skewers, and xiaolongbao in front of her, she really wanted to eat a big meal.

She was hesitating to call Shi Lei, when suddenly she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

She took a closer look and was stunned, this person was her boyfriend Shi Lei. Shi Lei was hugging a young woman with heavy makeup and coming from the food stall.

Zheng Xian stood stupidly in place, didn't Shi Lei still say on the phone in the morning that there was an emergency meeting, and said that there was no time to eat at noon. How could he come to eat at a food stall and still be with a young woman.

At this time, Zheng Xian regained a little sense, she wanted to see the woman's appearance clearly, and then it was not too late to find out the origin of this person.

Otherwise, when she went back to question Shi Lei, a shrewd person like Shi Lei, he would definitely not hesitate to say that the woman was his cousin.

While Zheng Xian was thinking, the two people had disappeared, and she only felt that the woman's back was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember anything.
