This year's Spring Festival is earlier than usual, late January is Chinese New Year's Eve, and now the Chinese New Year is less than ten days away.

Residents of Hangzhou put up Spring Festival couplets and window grilles early, and merchants also hung red lanterns, red peppers, and Chinese knots that symbolize prosperity...... Everywhere is filled with the joy of the festival.

There are many stalls selling New Year's goods on the pedestrian street, and Lin Yao thought that her house in Kyoto Garden seemed to be a little too deserted, so she stopped.

She is not very interested in Spring Festival couplets and window flowers, red peppers and Chinese festivals, which are small and inconspicuous, and they look bad when they are big, and she also doesn't like them.

Lin Yao picked and picked for a long time, and only took a fancy to a ceramic ornament with fish every year, and planned to put it on the shelf at the entrance to add a little New Year's flavor to her house.

After Lin Yao finished paying, he took the ornaments in red plastic bags from the stall owner, and was about to go to the next stall to have a look, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure on the corridor not far away, he was dressed in black and had a straight figure......

Her heart was beating fast!

Lin Yao deliberately didn't think about Qin Rongze, she couldn't remember how long she hadn't seen Qin Rongze, it didn't seem to be a long time, and it seemed like it had been a century so long.

The black figure made her feel both familiar and unfamiliar, and she was a little distracted for a moment, and stood there in a daze.

It took a while for her to come to her senses and chase after her like crazy.

Approaching the end of the year, although many companies have not yet had a holiday, there are many tourists who choose to come to Hangzhou in these days, and there are many people who go out to buy New Year's goods, and everyone is carrying a large bag in their hands.

Lin Yao turned around, and when she finally came to the corridor, she found that there were people in all directions, but there was no one she was looking for!

There are groups of people here, they talk and laugh, everyone's face is full of joy, only she is alone, looking lonely and lonely.

The figure of that person was long gone, but Lin Yao still refused to give up! She didn't know if that person was Qin Rongze, but even if it was only a one percent or even one in 10,000 possibility, she wanted to find out.

She took out her phone and tried to dial the number that had been in her mind for a long time, and as she was about to press the dial button.

She heard a young girl say, "How cute, let's buy, buy, buy?" ”

The boy beside her spoke helplessly, "I remember you bought a few of the same yesterday. ”

Only then did Lin Yao realize that the person she had recognized as Qin Rongze before was actually so young!

The boy has been squatting in front of the stall not far from her, accompanying his girlfriend to pick out the glowing Pepe pig hairpin.

"How can it be?" The girl didn't hesitate and said: "Yesterday I bought red clothes and pink clothes, and today these are purple clothes, blue clothes and yellow clothes, how can it be the same?" I don't care, I'm going to buy this, this, and this! ”

As soon as the girlfriend was coquettish, the boy immediately compromised, "Then buy it, you look good in it anyway." ”

The girl had to inch in, "No! I'm going to see you wear it! ”

The boy smiled indulgently, "I really can't help you." ”

After saying that, he bent down and asked the girl to clip the colorful Pepe Pig hairpins to his head.

The girl looked left and left and sighed, "This hairpin looks good when it's dark." ”

The boy looks average, but he is tall and an out-and-out man, and he is wearing a flashing cartoon hairpin by the girl, which is indescribably funny, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Lin Yao was also one of them, she kept watching the couple's backs disappear at the end of the corridor, and she was still a little stunned until her mobile phone rang.

"Hey~?" On the other end of the phone, Jiang Mingshu snorted and said, "Yao~Ah, when will your company have a holiday?" Have you bought your ticket home? ”

"Our company? I ......"

Lin Yao thought that Jiang Mingshu should know about her losing her job, after all, there was still a Bai Lihong there.

Bai Lihong was introduced to Lingyun by Ren Jiaying through Jiang Mingshu.

Could it be that Bai Lihong would be kind enough to hide this matter for her?

Or is it that Ling Yun's business has been too good recently, and Bai Lihong is too busy to talk about her gossip?

It doesn't matter anymore.

From the beginning to the end, she has not done anything to be sorry for others, only others are sorry for her!

Instead of letting Jiang Mingshu hear about this kind of thing from others, it is better to take the initiative to confess it herself.

"There, I'm gone, I can go home at any time." Lin Yao finally took the initiative to say this, "What about you?" When are you going to go home? ”

"What do you mean when you don't do it? Did you quit your job? On the other end of the phone, Jiang Mingshu shouted, "Didn't you just finish a business trip for the company?" The last time you called, you were fine, why did you suddenly resign? When was this? Why quit? It's the end of the year, and even if you want to resign, you should put it off until the end of the year! ”

"It's not that I want to leave, it's that the boss can't tolerate me, how can I stay?" Lin Yao smiled bitterly and explained simply: "Didn't I have been busy dealing with the exam a few days ago, so I didn't tell you this." ”

"Oh oh oh!" Jiang Mingshu exclaimed again and again, her tone was not without emotion, "Yes, you are taking the graduate school entrance examination, you really went to the exam!" How did you do on the exam? Can I get in? If you are admitted, it is also a good choice to go to graduate school first and then look for a job. No, if you buy a house and have to pay a mortgage every month, how can you go to graduate school? ”

"Not good." Lin Yao said in a depressed mood: "On the day of the exam, I was very unlucky, sitting in the wind, the first test paper just started to answer the paper, my hands were frozen, and I almost couldn't even write." When I started the exam in the afternoon, I had a runny nose and felt that my brain was not working well, and after I walked out of the exam room, I couldn't even remember whether I had finished the paper! ”

"That's why you slammed the test!" Jiang Mingshu laughed, "Ahahaha...... You're so funny too! ”

In the cold winter, she is not the only one who feels cold, everyone is the same, and it really doesn't make sense to blame the weather.

Lin Yao couldn't argue, "I'm struggling, continue to take the exam next year or find a job." ”

Jiang Mingshu shouted: "What is the test? I advised you not to go a long time ago, many undergraduates can't pass the exam, why are you going to join in the fun? Besides, people are going to graduate school for a promotion or a salary increase or to find a better job, what about you, you originally had a job, but you lost all your jobs for the graduate school entrance examination, and you didn't get in, what else do you want to take the exam? Hurry up! ”

Although what Jiang Mingshu said is not the truth, it actually sounds more like the truth than the truth.

If even Jiang Mingshu doesn't believe it, who else would believe that she was fired because she did too much business and nothing else?

Settle down?

Lin Yao didn't feel that she was uneasy.

She treats her work more carefully than anyone else, she has never fished in troubled waters, she has never made a flying order, why is she uneasy?

Is it just because she is going to graduate school and because she doesn't want to continue to be looked down upon, is this considered uneasy?

Lin Yao didn't want to have a pointless dispute with Jiang Mingshu, so she changed the topic, "Aren't you going to work today?" ”

"Go to work." After preaching Lin Yao, Jiang Mingshu was in a happy mood and felt comfortable, "Isn't this coming out, I'll call you by the way and ask when you will go back." ”

Lin Yao frowned, "My family doesn't know that I lost my job, I'm going to go back in a few days, and then I'll go back when everyone else is on vacation, let's go together then, now it's a few days before the New Year, do you want me to buy the ticket first?" ”

"What's the rush to buy a ticket." Jiang Mingshu hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, someone wants to send me back, but I don't think it's good, mainly because ...... Hey, what does it mean for him to run to my house during the Chinese New Year?

But he was right, it was too much trouble to get to the passenger terminal.

So I thought, why don't we take his car together, and then go back to our respective homes to find our own mothers. ”

Lin Yao could understand what Jiang Mingshu meant by calling herself.

She didn't want to think about it, and directly refused, "Come together, I won't be a light bulb." ”

"What light bulb? I'm not in that relationship with him! Jiang Mingshu was so anxious that he screamed, "He is also going home for the New Year, he happened to pass by us, and sent me by the way, uh, we, he just stopped by, just by the way!" ”

Lin Yao saw the dark and oppressive clouds in the sky, and sighed, "He sent you to 'by the way', but he didn't send me, besides, there are two positions in his car, where do you let me sit?" ”

These are also facts.

Jiang Mingshu suddenly fell into a tangle, Liang Kaiwen has several cars, but he is always a supercar, and he especially prefers two-seater cars, if he really wants to carry Lin Yao, it is really not easy to do.

But asking Kevin Leung to send her home, wouldn't that be the same as taking him to meet his parents?

When the time comes, there will be a lot of gossip......

No, no, no!

"Why can't you sit down?" She had an idea, "Can I just let him change cars with others and drive?" ”

Lin Yao disagreed: "Should you let him go on a special trip to buy a new car just to give me a ride?" ”

"Not really." Jiang Mingshu said with a smile: "Actually, I don't like his cars at all, so he sometimes drives the chairman's car...... Ahem, anyway, the chairman has been away from Hangzhou for a long time, and he hasn't been to Hangzhou recently. ”

It turned out that Qin Rongze had been away from Hangzhou for a long time.

Lin Yao paused, and she asked softly, "Is your chairman on a business trip?" ”

"It's not." Jiang Mingshu said disapprerovingly: "I heard that his family asked him to return to the imperial capital." ”

It turned out that Qin Rongze had returned to the imperial capital.

Lin Yao couldn't help but think of the aggressive Madam Qin and the strange conversation that night.

Speechless for a moment.

Jiang Mingshu thought for a while, and said: "Everyone in the company is saying that the chairman is going on a blind date, and he should not return to Hangzhou before he gets married, so he will transfer Liang Kaiwen back to the 49th floor......"

Lin Yao's mind buzzed, followed by a momentary blankness, and it took a long time for her to come to her senses.

Lin Yao also wanted to ask Jiang Mingshu, who did these listen to, whether it was Liang Kaiwen, and if so, then ...... She found herself at a loss for what to ask.

She let out a deep breath and told herself that there was no need to ask any more.

Qin Rongze didn't come to her, not because of anything else, but because he had already left her behind.

She should have realized this a long time ago!

That's it, turn the page!

From now on, the bridge returns to the bridge and the road returns, and the marriage of men and women has nothing to do with it!

Lin Yao's fingers clenched the plastic bag in his hand.

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Mingshu yelled impatiently: "Lin Yao, you say something, what are you going to do?" ”

Lin Yao's tone was still calm, as if he didn't care, "You guys go back together, I'll take the car back by myself." ”

"What's the matter?" Jiang Mingshu said dissatisfiedly: "Did you listen to me, what I said was that we are recruiting people on the eighteenth floor, do you want to try again?" ”

Lin Yao reacted at this time, what was she asking.

If more than a year ago, Orlando was still her most desirable company, then now it is the opposite, she will not set foot in Orlando again, even if Qin Rongze is not there.

Lin Yao smiled meaninglessly, "There's no need, right?" ”

Jiang Mingshu only thinks that she will lose before she minds.

"That's what I thought, the last time you went to Orlando for an interview, your main shoes were too low, if you changed to a pair of higher heels, maybe you would be able to do it!" Jiang Mingshu was still gushing, "In this way, on the day of the interview, you wear a pair of high heels of more than 12 centimeters......"

Orlando employees are generally taller in appearance, and so is their height, the tall people over there are wearing high heels, and her small people wear high heels?

Lin Yao regretted telling her about losing her job, but even if she wanted to, she couldn't hide it for long.

Lin Yao refused categorically, "Thank you, no need!" ”

"Why are you like this?" Jiang Mingshu was annoyed, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" ”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yao walked aimlessly on the pedestrian street.

It's still early to go home, and she has nothing to do at home, but it's not interesting to wander around alone.

Lin Yao was a busy person, and she suddenly became idle, which made her uncomfortable.

She wanted to find a job as soon as possible and get back to work, but it was too difficult to find a job as the year approached.

After she went to the job market that day, she knew how difficult it was to find a job, that is, such idle days would continue for a while.

Lin Yao pondered, should she do something to pass the time?

For example, taking the time to get your driver's license test?

I don't know when the snow began to fall in the sky, and the fine snowflakes were like dandelions blown away by the wind.

The streets of Hangzhou in the wind and snow have a unique charm, but Lin Yao has no intention of appreciating it.

Seeing that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, she had to embark on the return trip.

***

In the imperial capital, the banquet hall of the Qin family's old mansion was brightly lit, and it was so lively.

The old man of the Qin family has a high reputation in the imperial capital, but unfortunately his son Qin Zhenchuan has no ability, and the Qin family is gradually declining in his hands.

It was not until recent years that Qin Rongze became famous in the imperial capital and regained his former glory.

Qin Rongze started with clothing, his main business was not in the imperial capital, everyone laughed at him at that time, a poor boy with an embarrassing identity and not taken seriously, he didn't perform well, and he worked hard to gain a firm foothold in the imperial capital and the Qin family, and he actually ran so far to start a business.

But he has proven everything with facts, and the people who laughed at him back then are now trying their best to slap him.

Today, the Orlando Group he founded has long been the first in China and has successfully ranked among the world's top five clothing companies, and the chairman Qin Rongze's net worth is as high as hundreds of billions.

Qin Rongze left the banquet hall after toasting, and he walked all the way to the westernmost end, perhaps because the bathroom was in this area, there were not many people.

His grim eyes stared at the screen as if frozen in frame, and it took a long time to remove from the lonely back.

He put his phone away, then turned slightly, bent his arms on the railing of the hallway, and let the cold wind blow through, blowing his short hair and bringing a chill.
