Chapter 53: Yangcheng
The tireless chirping outside the window, the scorching afternoon, the hot and humid air filled every pore of Qin Xiaotian, making people feel a sense of shortness of breath and weakness. Qin Xiaotian was lying on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, the pale green platform fan that she had been using since elementary school made a "crunch" sound, she was a little upset, it had nothing to do with the knowledge outside, and it had nothing to do with the fan in the house.
In the past few days when she went home, she has been accompanying her parents to visit relatives and friends, which can be regarded as earning some face for her parents, and her parents just want relatives and friends to know that their daughter has grown up, has a good job, and her relationship is basically stable, and she has really grown up. Qin Xiaotian didn't want to go, but there was no way, after so many years, his parents' efforts finally paid off, and it was natural for him to want to show off. But every time she heard her parents and various relatives and friends ask her and Yuan Dutian how they were doing, she didn't know how to answer, and always smiled awkwardly and replied, "It's okay." She didn't tell her family everything that happened to her and Yuan Dutian, it was useless to say, she knew that her parents wouldn't understand if she said it, but made them worry.
Yuan Dutian calls and sends messages from time to time, Qin Xiaotian often hides from his parents to answer the phone, Qin's father and Qin's mother still think that the little couple wants to talk about love and don't want to be disturbed. Every time they saw Qin Xiaotian rushing into the room with his mouth covered, the old couple would look at each other and smile, they didn't know the distress in Qin Xiaotian's heart at all.
Yuan Dutian learned that Qin Xiaotian had returned to his hometown in advance, and he didn't blame Qin Xiaotian, he just told her to take care of herself, go home and relax, and don't think too much. It sounded like the comfort of an old friend for many years, and when Qin Xiaotian saw Yuan Dutian's text message on the train, he repeatedly pondered the hidden meaning behind the text message. She felt that Yuan Mutian cared about her for a while, and then she felt that Yuan Mutian said this out of guilt for herself, because of suspicion, uncertainty and lack of confidence in herself, which made her fidgety these days, although she kept comforting herself: It's okay, it's okay, even if Yuan Mutian really doesn't want her, she can start a new life.
After staying at home for 10 days, she had two reunions with her middle school classmates, and everyone would always talk about their current love life when they were eating and karaoke, and some classmates still appeared one-on-one, which sometimes made Qin Xiaotian seem at a loss. It felt inappropriate to want to leave, and I felt that my nerves were deeply stimulated when I left. Finally, she couldn't stay any longer, so she found a reason and decided to report to the company in advance.
On the day of leaving, Qin's father and Qin's mother sent their baby girl to the train station, and on the way, Qin's mother told her thousands of instructions, afraid that Qin Xiaotian would not understand the rules when she first entered the workplace, and Qin Xiaotian was comforting Qin's mother "rest assured" all the way. In the end, Qin's mother warned Qin Xiaotian earnestly: "Girl, I don't know what you and Twilight are planning, and I see that you are a little absent-minded when you come back this time." You are going to work in Guangzhou now, there is still some distance from Xiangcheng, if you plan to be together in the future, such a long-term long-distance relationship is not a good thing. You'll have to think about it yourself. β
Hearing this, Qin Xiaotian's nose was sour, he snorted quietly, and nodded: "Got it, Mom, I'll think about this." β
Mother Qin patted Qin Xiaotian's hand with pity. Under the concerned and reluctant eyes of her parents, Qin Xiaotian stepped on the southbound train, and in another 12 hours, she could arrive at a new city she liked, Guangzhou. Qin Xiaotian decided to let go of all the unsatisfactory in the past, integrate into the new environment, and work and live well. This time she arrived in Guangzhou in advance and did not inform Yuan Dutian, she had not contacted Yuan Dutian for three days, Yuan Dutian called her, but she was at a reunion with her classmates and did not hear the phone ringing, and later saw that the call was missed, she hesitated and did not go back. Sometimes paralysis and avoidance may alleviate some of your anxiety and pain, so if you don't think, touch, or contact those people and information, you may naturally forget it after a long time.
The next morning, Qin Xiaotian arrived in Guangzhou, surrounded by unfamiliar faces and a new environment, which made Qin Xiaotian instantly feel a kind of excitement about to start a new life. She opened her bow left and right, dragged two big suitcases, smiled, and took a deep breath of the slightly cool hot and humid air in Yangcheng in the early morning, and was in a good mood. According to the address provided by the company, she took a taxi to the company to report to the human resources department. This is good for foreign companies, and even the registered car and horse expenses are reimbursed, and Qin Xiaotian has no psychological burden when he gets into a car. The company is located in the prosperous area of Tianhe District, when she dragged her luggage into this modern building, she felt that she had received some strange eyes, probably watching her little girl drag two suitcases into the office building a little puzzled. Soon, however, the people who came and went around her stopped paying attention to her, and everyone hurried past her. The human beauty who went downstairs to receive her was called Li
da, wearing a pair of red high heels and a set of off-white professional skirts, looks very capable. Qin Xiaotian was surprised by everything here, and followed Li while dragging the box
Behind the da, he looked around from time to time. The company has three floors, 18-20 floors, manpower on the 20th floor, Qin Xiaotian followed Li
da received an employee card after completing the onboarding procedures, Li
DA explained that she will officially enter the probationary period from tomorrow, which will last for half a year, the first month will be the rotational internship and training period, and one month later, she will enter the media and public relations department. But because Qin Xiaotian has arrived at the post ahead of schedule, most of the other recruits have not yet registered, and some training in the company needs to wait for everyone to complete the entry procedures before it is carried out, and now Qin Xiaotian can only go to the marketing department, sales department, product research and development department and other departments for rotation and internship.
"In the first year of the company, accommodation was arranged, and two people lived in a suite, near Yantang. From the second year, the company does not care about accommodation, but each person can be reimbursed 1,000 yuan per month for accommodation expenses, are you clear about these? βLi
Da picked up the white porcelain cup and drank it carefully, for fear of getting the lipstick.
"Clear." Qin Xiaotian nodded desperately, and then asked, "That Li."
Sister DA, where should I stay today? Who do you live with? β
Li
DA glanced at the computer, leaned back in the swivel chair, and said after a while: "You live with Lu Feifei, she just has an empty room, I will find her to give you the key later, you go back to clean up today, come to me on time at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and I will take you to the marketing department." β
"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you!" Qin Xiaotian thanked him repeatedly. Li
da raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if smiling, and then left his straight back to Qin Xiaotian.
Get the keys and follow Li
The address given by DA, Qin Xiaotian found a rental house, to be honest, it was a little difficult to find, it was in the urban village. In order to save costs, the company arranged the dormitory for new employees in a place where the location is not too bad but the surrounding environment is not very good. Nice environment inside the rental house, two-bedroom house with bathroom and kitchen. As soon as she entered the house, Qin Xiaotian found an empty room and began to arrange and clean up, the most important thing is the bed, she searched the surroundings, found a fairly large supermarket, bought all kinds of quilts, bed sheets, quilt covers, pillows and daily necessities, and was so busy that she didn't even eat dinner, so she ate a box of instant noodles that should have been wiped out on the train. I finally made the room to sleep, and it was already 9 o'clock in the evening when I looked at the watch. Touching his cooing belly, Qin Xiaotian prepared to go downstairs to forage for food. Just about to go out, the door opened, and Lu Feifei came back.
Qin Xiaotian hurriedly stopped changing his shoes and greeted him with a smile: "Hello, my name is Qin Xiaotian, the new here, your new roommate." Qin Xiaotian stretched out his hand.
Lu Feifei quickly stretched out her hand and shook it, and asked, "Do you want to go out?" β
Qin Xiaotian nodded and said, "I cleaned up for the day today, I haven't eaten yet, I want to go out to eat, do you want to eat together?" β
Lu Feifei seemed to suddenly remember something, patted her head and introduced herself: "Oh, look at me, I forgot to tell you who I am, my name is Lu Feifei, from the sales department, and I joined the company 5 months earlier than you." β
Qin Xiaotian smiled: "I started from Li this morning."
Sister Da already knows your information. How about you go and have something to eat together? β
"It's a pity that I just finished eating!" Lu Feifei was a little embarrassed, and in a blink of an eye, she said to Qin Xiaotian with a smile: "However, I can take you down to eat, I know that there is a claypot rice that is particularly delicious." β
"Really?" Qin Xiaotian hurriedly put on his sandals, "Let's go!" Qin Xiaotian pulled Lu Feifei and turned around and went out. It seems that Lu Feifei is a very easy to deal with and very enthusiastic girl, so it's reassuring!
From the conversation, Qin Xiaotian learned that Lu Feifei graduated last year, a native of Jiangxi, studied at a university in Guangzhou, and after graduating from a company that worked in sales for more than half a year, he applied for Ted, which is the company where the two of them are now working. Lu Feifei is very talkative and very enthusiastic, no wonder she can do sales, how can she deal with people if you don't have certain communication skills!
Qin Xiaotian likes her roommate very much, Lu Feifei will gossip in the company with her, and will also tell her which minefields in the company are and which people not to mess with, Qin Xiaotian was surprised at how she could have so much news, and Lu Feifei inevitably had too many channels to get information. What made Qin Xiaotian feel more at ease was that the two of them were not in the same department, so there were fewer entanglements of interests, which was probably the reason why Lu Feifei dared to talk to her about so much company gossip.
Qin Xiaotian interned in the marketing department for a few days, and gradually understood the work in the department. Of course, the market requires a highly sensitive sense of smell, and many times Qin Xiaotian will see his colleagues in the marketing department arguing fiercely about a proposal in the conference room.
Qin Xiaotian struggled to adapt to a new environment, the challenges of the new job made her nerves highly tense at any time, during the day she devoted herself to work, trying to solve all kinds of problems she encountered, and only when she was locked in the room alone at night, she would feel that her heart suddenly fell into a huge loneliness. Yuan Dutian called her, he had already returned to Xiangcheng, and of course Ren Jingya had also returned. Yuan said that Ren Jingya took her medicine on time every day, and her mood was much brighter, and her doctors in the United States had been following up with her. When he knew that Qin Xiaotian had come to Guangzhou, there was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and the silence on the phone made Qin Xiaotian's heart go up and down, she thought that Yuan Dutian would scold her for why she didn't tell him about coming to Guangzhou in advance, but she only heard a long sigh on the other end of the phone. That sigh made Qin Xiaotian unable to calm down for a long time, and she was a little lost. She thought the sigh meant a lot of things, but she didn't know what it meant. Maybe Yuan Dutian scolded her, she was more acceptable, scolding her proves that he is angry, and being angry proves that he still cares about her.
Yuan Dutian hadn't been in touch with her for several days, and Qin Xiaotian's mood dropped to freezing, and she began to feel that their relationship might not be able to go back to what it used to be.
On the weekend, Lu Feifei said that she wanted to take Qin Xiaotian to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yangcheng, and pulled Qin Xiaotian to climb Baiyun Mountain early in the morning. There are many climbers, walking among the dense and verdant pine and cypress banyan trees, admiring the unknown small wildflowers on the roadside, and breathing the fragrant air of flowers and trees, Qin Xiaotian was impressed by the various colors of red, pink, purple, yellow, and emerald green in front of him. Nature is so magical, those flowers and trees that are not artificial, those colors that are difficult to mix with paint, are transformed in nature, and it is difficult to describe them in words. Qin Xiaotian's boring mood for a few days finally broke through, she talked and laughed with Lu Feifei all the way, asked questions, walked to the top of the mountain, the two found a secluded place to sit on the ground, eating snacks, drinking drinks, and roaring twice from time to time to vent the depression in her chest.
"By the way, Xiaotian, do you have a boyfriend?" Lu Feifei suddenly asked while eating potato chips.
Qin Xiaotian chewed the potato chips in his mouth and shook his head, and said helplessly: "There was before, and now I don't know if there is." β
Lu Feifei is a little confused, is the two not together? It feels a little complicated, Qin Xiaotian turned out to be a person with a story!
"What do you mean?" Lu Feifei approached Qin Xiaotian and asked.
Qin Xiaotian deliberately looked away and said, "It's a long story. Don't talk about me, what about you? Haven't you been in Guangzhou all the time? Why haven't I heard you mention your boyfriend? β
Lu Feifei shook the potato chip packaging bag, reached out and rummaged through the remaining fragments inside, and said casually: "I didn't mention it because I really didn't have it!" After a pause, he poked Qin Xiaotian with a wicked smile: "Are there any handsome guys around you that you can introduce?" You see, I talked about one when I was an undergraduate, and I broke up before I even got through my senior year, and I have been single until now, do you say that it is miserable? β
Qin Xiaotian was amused by her, and couldn't help but smile and said to Lu Feifei seriously: "Miss Lu, I am a graduate who just came from other places, and I don't know as many people in Guangzhou as you, and now I still have to rely on you to help, where can you let me find you!" β
Lu Feifei was a little disappointed, and said instead: "It's okay if you're not in Guangzhou, and you can also introduce good male classmates around you." β
Qin Xiaotian's heart blossomed, how much Lu Feifei hated to marry, so anxious to find a boyfriend, "How do I feel that you are a little bit reluctant to come in order to find a boyfriend!" β
Lu Feifei smiled embarrassedly and whispered: "I haven't been in love for too long, of course I want to find a good man by my side!" β
"You don't care about being out of town?" Qin Xiaotian asked.
Lu Feifei shook her head: "What age is it now, the transportation is convenient, it will only become more and more convenient in the future, what is it in a different place, as long as he is good to me, we like each other, it's a big deal that I will go to him in the future, or he will come to Guangzhou." The key is to have someone fall in love with me now! β
Qin Xiaotian laughed out loud, and a figure appeared in his mind.
"How long has it been since you've been in a relationship?" Qin Xiaotian deliberately made fun of Lu Feifei.
"I-" Lu Feifei dragged out her voice, took out her fingers to count, and after counting the 5 hands, she suddenly made a winning "2". "I haven't had a boyfriend for two-and-a-half years!" After speaking, he grabbed Qin Xiaotian's arm with both hands and shook it twice, and leaned over like a coquette. Qin Xiaotian was stunned, only felt a burst of amusement, and gently patted Lu Feifei's shoulder.
"That's it, I really have a candidate here, but whether it will work depends on fate."
"Really?" Lu Feifei raised her head suddenly, then sat upright and straightened her slightly messy hair, "What's it called?" Where are the people? Where are you now? Lu Feifei's heart is like a flower bone longing for dew drops in spring, hoping that the raindrops will moisten the earth, or she can moisten others!
Qin Xiaotian laughed again, clapped his hands several times, and said with a smile: "Lu Feifei, you nymphomaniac, the monkey is in a hurry like this." Hahahaha! β
Lu Feifei's face was skinless, and she was still sitting with her head tilted and looking at Qin Xiaotian, Qin Xiaotian suddenly realized that the girl with a small round face, a small nose, and inner eyes in front of her was seriously thinking about falling in love. At this time, it made Qin Xiaotian, who was laughing loudly, a little embarrassed. She coughed twice and cleared her throat, wondering where to start.
Lu Feifei still didn't speak, looked at her lips and moved her lips, frowned slightly, and looked at Qin Xiaotian, who had not spoken, ready to listen to this future boyfriend.
Qin Xiaotian planned to recommend Na Chunming with the relationship and mentality of a good friend. "Chunming, I think Fei Fei's temperament is quite compatible with you." Qin Xiaotian thought to himself.
"His name is Na Chunming, he is my graduate classmate, and he is the only boy in our class." Qin Xiaotian wrinkled his nose after speaking, revealing a smile that was not a little incredible.
Lu Feifei is still quiet, it is rare that she can not speak for such a long time.
"He and I are fellow countrymen, so we have always had a good relationship, and I can be sure and guarantee that he didn't fall in love during his graduate studies, and now, he doesn't have a girlfriend." Qin Xiaotian glanced at Lu Feifei and found that her small eyes flashed with a moving light.
"He's very nice, kind to people, and has a good personality, because he was the only boy in our class, so he took good care of us girls."
Qin Xiaotian was stabbed by the light in Lu Feifei's eyes, and the light of joy that floated just now immediately turned into a sharp cold light that flashed by. "He's so good, so why hasn't he had a girlfriend all the time? Could it be that he is abnormal? Lu Feifei's whole face was like a question mark in Qin Xiaotian's eyes.
"No, no, no!" Qin Xiaotian hurriedly waved his hand, "There is no problem with his character, there should be no problem with his body and mind, there may be no fate, I haven't met the right one!" β
"What does it look like? You can't stand it, right? Lu Feifei's face wrinkled, this change was very sudden.
"Well, I think it's okay, he's a little thin, more than seven meters tall, and his height should be good." Qin Xiaotian looked at Lu Feifei.
"I'm one-six-three." Lu Feifei reported her height very much.
"I should be at least 1.75 meters above him." Qin Xiaotian added.
"That's even more puzzling, it's okay to look good, it's okay, it's a good person, isn't there anyone chasing you at school?" Lu Feifei continued to walk back, she shook her head, obviously not believing.
Qin Xiaotian was in a trance for a moment, did any girl chase that Chunming? In the past few years, she didn't know anything about such a warm man around her, and she didn't even pay attention to whether there were any girls chasing him. A burst of guilt welled up from the bottom of his heart, and a gust of wind blew, almost fascinating Qin Xiaotian's eyes.
"You don't know if any girls are chasing him?" Lu Feifei looked at Qin Xiaotian who was looking up at the sky.
Qin Xiaotian shook his head lightly and said in a thin voice, "There shouldn't be." "It's an extremely unconfident voice.
"Then it must be that he has a girl he likes, but that girl doesn't like him, so he's always single." Lu Feifei quickly took the conversation, and then glanced at Qin Xiaotian, Qin Xiaotian lowered his head and looked at Lu Feifei, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes that could not be concealed, she was poked by Lu Feifei's words, she was amazed by the amazing guessing power of the girl in front of her. Do you need to hide it? Qin Xiaotian was a little entangled in her heart, who knew that Lu Feifei didn't pay attention to it at all and continued to exert her logical reasoning ability.
"He can't be the one he likes, right?" Lu Feifei's mouth opened wide and asked tentatively.
Qin Xiaotian was stunned for a long time, thinking about whether he should admit it? Lu Feifei's insight is not ordinary.
Lu Feifei looked at Qin Xiaotian's expression of not knowing what to say, and immediately spoke again without waiting for her to speak: "Needless to say, looking at your expression, it must be you." β
Qin Xiaotian swallowed his saliva, and immediately admired the girl in front of him who didn't look good. "Fei Fei, you are really born to be a good seedling for sales and negotiation."
Lu Feifei smiled lightly and said, "Since I was a child, I have found that my inner judgments are usually proven to be right, and when I was a child, I wondered if I would have superpowers. When I grew up, I realized that in fact, many people have this ability, which may be related to the environment. When I was a child, I loved to observe people and listen to people. β
"I don't have that talent." Qin Xiaotian shook his head and sighed that he was a little stupid.
"Then why don't you like that Chunming?" Lu Feifei's question was too direct, and she went directly to Qin Xiaotian's clumsy words, because her questions were sometimes too sudden and sharp, and Qin Xiaotian was not ready to answer at all.
After a while, Qin Xiaotian replied a little embarrassedly: "I don't know, I just have always regarded him as a good friend, and I don't have that kind of idea." β
"Something to do with your boyfriend, right? It's easy for a woman to ignore other people around her when she likes someone. Lu Feifei seems to be a love expert, Qin Xiaotian thinks that a love expert like her, who has never been in a relationship much, still needs a boyfriend? Or does Lu Feifei need to find someone to practice her hands to confirm some of her inner thoughts about love? Qin Xiaotian scolded himself for thinking nonsense.
Lu Feifei's words brought Qin Xiaotian's thoughts back to when he met Yuan Dutian. "Actually, I met that Chunming first, in the same class, I saw it when I took the retest, but people feel that this thing is really unclear."
"He likes you so much, you still introduced him to me?" Lu Feifei was a little dissatisfied.
"It's not that you've been yelling for the gang to introduce a boyfriend, I searched around and felt that he was the most suitable." Qin Xiaotian thought to himself, it seemed that there was no play.
"Are you sure you're not going to be with him?" Lu Feifei's expression became serious again.
"Of course not!" Qin Xiaotian raised his voice.
"And does he still like you now?"
"Now? I don't know, I've turned him down several times and he knows about me and my boyfriend. "Qin Xiaotian was a little difficult when he said the three words of boyfriend." Men, always look forward, he is now working in Beijing, and we can't see each other, and those feelings will naturally be forgotten after a long time. Qin Xiaotian hopes that Chunming can start his love life soon, if he is still worried about himself thousands of miles away, it will make her feel a burden. Fortunately, during this time, their communication is more like friends who care about each other.
Lu Feifei nodded and spread out her palms: "Take out your phone and show me his photo." β
Qin Xiaotian took out his mobile phone from his satchel, opened the album, and pointed to a photo from graduation to Lu Feifei: "Oh, this is Na Chunming." β
The graduation ceremony and graduation photos that were not attended by Yuan Dutian, although she was excited, she always felt a little forced to smile, but Na Chunming stood behind her wearing a master's hat and showed a bright smile.
Lu Feifei snatched Qin Xiaotian's mobile phone, flipped through Qin Xiaotian's graduation photos in a row, stared at Na Chunming for a long time, patted her thigh, and shouted: "Yes, it's him, from today on, start my love chasing plan." β
"Huh?" Qin Xiaotian was stupid, just, just decided, he hadn't seen anyone yet, how could he make a decision?
"When you fall in love, look at the eyes, I look at his photos and have a lot of eyes, good, good. Give me his QQ number! Lu Feifei was not reserved or surprised at all, as if she was talking about an ordinary thing, but she felt that Qin Xiaotian was a little fussed, and it was love at first sight, she had a good impression at most.
