When I returned to Shanghai, it was the first day of Christmas Eve, and I missed my birthday, and I don't even remember it. Passed the special training, signed a contract with the company Zhengding, the salary is very good, and it is considered to be at the upper middle level in Shanghai. The contract is for one year and both parties can choose to renew or leave at the end of the contract.

After becoming a regular employee, the company will pay a settling-in allowance to the employees from other places for us to rent a house in Shanghai. When Fang Zhongyu went to Japan, he helped me find a house, which was very close to the company, about 20 minutes walking, and a small apartment by the river.

Because of its age, it is a three-story building in the twenties and thirties. I rented the top floor, when I saw it for the first time, I liked it, not for anything else, just because there is a terrace on the top floor, seven or eight square meters, standing on the terrace you can see the boats coming and going on the Huangpu River. There is a bedroom in the house, a living room, bathroom and kitchen are not big, but it is enough for me alone.

The landlord and his wife are young and old, they are very good people, and they don't rent out the property for money, and they see that I am still a small girl, and they look innocent, so they gave me a very low price, and there is no embarrassment for me. On the same day, I rented it and paid the rent for half a year with the settling-in allowance given by the company.

"Women should be good to themselves, especially in life, and must not be sloppy; Whether it's your own home or living in a different place. "Mom always said that. I've always thought that my mother's words are more effective than some of the governance words.

In my previous life, I had a habit that wasn't too good or too bad: I liked to cook when I was happy, and I liked to tidy up when I was in a bad mood. This habit has been with me to this day, and I can't change it no matter what I do.

Under the guidance of the landlady, I went to the old furniture market to buy some pieces of furniture. The level of consumption in Shanghai is too high for me to afford. Although my salary in Shanghai is not low, I still dare not spend it like this when I come from a small city. Fang Zhongyu has been running before and after on the weekend, buying things for me, which makes me a little embarrassed to come.

In this way, I have a nest of my own in Shanghai.

On Christmas Eve, it was the weekend, Fang Zhongyu came to help me pack up my things, and by the way, he pulled me to celebrate the festival together. I know that he is afraid that I will be lonely, and I am really content to have such a friend by my side.

There is no heating in Shanghai in winter, there is no air conditioning in the room, the whole house is cold, Fang Zhongyu moved the warm air there to me, we blow the warm air, eat hot pot, in winter, it is also a very enjoyable thing.

"You know what? Su Mei went to Beijing. "Fang Zhongyu told me what had happened in the past two months.

Su Mei mentioned to me in the email that she was actually mixed up with Lao Bai. I wanted to say that the two of them were not suitable, but I never said it, and just nodded my head to mean that I understood.

"Su Mei and Lao Bai, isn't it a strange combination?" Fang Zhongyu asked me while eating, "I also said, if they have a child in the future, will they be called Baimei?" ”

I smiled bitterly, I know Su Mei too well, her choice is too realistic. I thought that she would love for the rest of her life, but I didn't expect that in the face of reality, love would also become exchangeable.

When I said my thoughts, Fang Zhongyu disagreed, "The fate of who is with whom is predestined by God a long time ago." It is contrary to your principle that 'hard work will not necessarily be achieved, and if you do not work hard, you will definitely not be able to achieve it'. ”

"Like me and Zhao Feng?" I asked.

Fang Zhongyu looked at me half-there, and asked me rhetorically: "Do you believe in retribution?" ”

I laughed, Fang Zhongyu also laughed, we stopped talking, just lowered our heads to eat. We all know it in our hearts, but no one will say it.

The work is arranged according to the special training grade. I was assigned to the strategy department, Lu Xiao was assigned to the general affairs department, and Gao Xiang was assigned to the marketing department.

Gao Xiang I only saw him once before New Year's Day, and when I sent the documents to the marketing department, he was walking out and took a look at me, just nodded his head, and didn't say a word.

On the 30th, the company organizes a New Year's ball, which is the company's reserved program every year, and hundreds of people in the headquarters will participate, and the party can be imagined. The ball was held in the banquet hall on the third floor, which was a novelty for us. Many people didn't know each other, which made me feel a sense of constraint, so I only pulled Lu Xiao and chatted on the side.

There are also a lot of big people in the company, and I saw that the cold face god, that is, Lu Shifan, the big boss of the company, also came, and a bunch of people gathered around.

"I heard that he is still single." Lu Xiao is in the General Affairs Department, there are many women, and he is naturally well-informed.

"No wonder those female supervisors are rushing forward, probably because they want to get the love of the Diamond King!" I grabbed a drink and sat down on the couch, I've never liked places that were too busy. Lu Xiao understands, but she still chooses to stay by my side.

"I heard that the boss's ex-wife was Japanese, and I heard that it was a political marriage. Later, my wife ran away with a foreign consul, and the boss has been so single all the time. It's really pitiful to be in their thirties and almost forty. Lu Xiao didn't have a few days of work, and he knew about the company's eight letters, and he could imagine the skills of those women in the General Affairs Office.

"I don't think there's anything pitiful, it's a blessing to escape from a loveless marriage!" I drank all the drink in my hand, "Let's go eat!" I am hungry. ”

There was a long buffet on the food station, and this dance party was also organized by the strategy department, because I was a new employee and did not participate in it. I just walked through the venue and took all the set-ups to heart. There weren't many people who picked up the food, most of the drunkards didn't mean to drink, and the voices and horses in the workplace were all in the bright hall behind me.

From one table to the other, there was a plate full of food left, and I had more pleasure in the food than in the room at the back. I sat down in a corner and ate happily with my plate in hand.

"I said why didn't I see you, so you were hiding here?" Listening to the voice, I knew it was Nantian, I thought he was being entangled by a group of MM at this moment, but I didn't expect to meet him here.

"I'm not hiding, I'm just a little hungry." I didn't look up, still eating my food.

"The prom begins, let's go dance!" He snatched my plate, set it aside, and pulled me into the venue all the way to the dance floor.

"What can you dance?" Nantian took off his coat and handed it to the person next to him, "Waltz? ”

I didn't want to dance, especially on a crowded occasion like this. But it was not good for Bo Nantian's face, so he said: "Rumba." ”

The people who heard my words were stunned, but Nantian laughed, "Stereo, play Rumba." ”

When the rumba music sounded, Nantian didn't move, but someone pushed the cold face god out, and later I knew that he was the only one in the entire company who liked to dance rumba. So when I said I was going to dance rumba, everyone had a good look on their faces.

The cold-faced god only wore a shirt, his sleeves were rolled up, his tie was taken down, and his hair was messed up with his hands, looking arrogant and uninhibited. He looked at me and held out a hand to me.

Everyone was watching, which made me feel like it was difficult to ride a tiger, I shook my head, maybe I was the first to dance rumba in a suit. I also took off my coat, let Lu Xiao hold it, untied my hair, let my hair fly away, tilted my head and stepped on the rhythm, grabbed the hand stretched out by the cold face god, and entered the rhythm of Rumba with him.

Rumba originated in Cuba and is a typical strong-rhythm dance. It has become a classic in all Latin dances, and many of the basic movements are now mostly old tales that are expressed in feminine charm. A set of beautiful choreography always contains the element of "funny, chasing"; The male partner was seduced and then rejected.

The rumba is made up of three rhythms: in Guaguanc? , the male partner tries his best to get close to the female partner, and the female partner reacts (in the dance, of course). In Yamb? , the female partner makes a teasing, but eventually rejects the male partner when it is withdrawn. Columbia was developed later and was only jumped in a few countries.

Because Rumba is mainly embodied in the hip punching action, the suit makes it impossible to let go of the action, but my cooperation with the cold face god is not bad, I didn't expect him to be really a Rumba master.

"Next song, let's dance bullfighting!" At the end of the song, the cold-faced god said to me.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead and said with a smile, "I've had you long enough to give other women a chance, haven't I?" ”

Leng Mian was stunned for a moment, perhaps not expecting my refusal, but he nodded gentlemanly and turned back to the gentlemen.

The exercise generated too much heat, so I ran to the door to cool off. When I passed by the atrium, I saw Gao Xiang, snuggling up with Jiang Xia, looking very intimate.

I couldn't tell the feeling, I drank a big sip of water, leaned against the door, my face was still hot, but my spirit was extremely cold.
