Chapter 16: The Pioneers

Wei Xiao had a long, long dream.

She suddenly went back to her old childhood, forgetting whether it was after Xiang Lan or before she left. I only remember that at that time, she was too young, and Wei Jianguo didn't worry about leaving her alone at home, so he would often take her to work in the factory together.

Everything in the park is boring, except for a tennis court on the edge that looks out of place here.

She was young at the time, and she couldn't pick up a slightly more professional tennis racket, and she came here just out of curiosity. When he was fine, he stood by and watched the grass-green ball bounce off the ground and then fly to the other side.

Sometimes, the boy, who was slightly older than himself, would tease himself and ask her to help pick up the ball or something.

The factory seems to be getting busy, and no one is playing with the boys on the court. It became a boy who took the initiative to teach Wei Xiao to play, even though she still couldn't hold a racket.

Later, in the spring after the Chinese New Year, the workers who went back to their hometown for the holiday gradually returned, and the park gradually became lively, except for the factory in front of the tennis court, which was still deserted.

I vaguely heard that it seems that the boss surnamed Zhang owes a lot of money, and the business after the beginning of the year is not very good, and the factory is about to shut down.

Later, I don't know how long later, when Wei Xiao went to the tennis court again, he suddenly saw that the people around him were nervous and panicked, and the voices of wailing and crying were intertwined, which was deafening. Wei Xiao stood in the crowd of onlookers, and saw that the boy who had always taught him to play before, was crying hysterically at the burning place, and several adults next to him barely pulled him to death.

Later, I didn't know where I heard that the factory was not working, so the boss had some other thoughts. It's just that I didn't expect that when the fire ignited, there was an employee surnamed Wu in the factory.

Later, I heard that I lost a lot of money to the Wu family, but there was only a little boy left in the Wu family.

The cry in front of the factory gate is so terrible that even now, many years later, it seems to linger in my ears, and it is impossible not to be moved.

Wei Xiao was almost awakened alive, and after waking up, he leaned on the head of his bed, staring at the black knife hanging on the wall for a long time.

After staying quiet for a long time, I got up and took the bath towel and walked outside to the bathroom.

It's not early at this time, the sun has already risen, and when he passed by the window, the blazing sunlight was still a little shaking, and Wei Xiao unconsciously raised his hand to block it.

"Why haven't you gone to work yet?"

As soon as Wei Xiao was about to push open the bathroom door, he heard Wei Ming's voice from the direction of the living room, and he was immediately startled.

Why is Wei Ming, like Lin Jingxian, like to snuggle up on the sofa quietly and scary?

Because of the friendly relationship between Wei Ming and her when he was in Zhongchuang the day before yesterday, it was rare for Wei Xiao not to turn around and leave like before. It's just that before he could continue to say something, he heard Wei Ming continue mockingly: "What? I've been going for a few days and I don't want to do it anymore? Also, the unemployed vagrants who eat and wait for death have been going on for a long time, and they probably won't want to continue. ”

The little thought of wanting to speak well disappeared in an instant.

"Hehe, it seems that the shutdown of Zhongchuang has hit you quite hard," Wei Xiao looked at him sideways, and pulled the corners of his mouth expressionlessly: "I started to bite people like a mad dog in the morning." ”

After saying that, he went straight into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.

Sure enough, stabbing a few words when hurting each other is the main atmosphere here.

I knew that when I was cleaning up the triangle plum vines, I should have specially avoided the Weijia factory, anyway, there was no one in it, so I burned it and saved a little effort.

Wei Xiao raised his arm, only to feel that there was endless soreness spreading wildly. That night, Qin Zhao didn't have any intention of helping, and stood by with his arms crossed throughout the whole process. Wei Xiao rushed to death, but finally cleaned up all the vines before dawn.

When a few red fragments the size of his index finger fell on his hand, Wei Xiao almost cried on the spot.

I don't know how much money I can get in the end, but the matter is solved satisfactorily.

The only pain was that after that night, her whole body hurt for two days as if she had been run over by a car. To this day, it has not fully recovered.

"By the way, what's the name of your blind date's factory?" When Wei Xiao was about to go out, Wei Ming asked coldly.

"You just ask them." Wei Xiao's movements stopped, and after throwing down this sentence, he pushed the door straight out with his tennis bag on his back.

It was not troublesome enough for her and Qin Zhao to entangle the matter of the Moon Spirit Stone every day, where would there be time to confess to these.

After May, the weather began to gradually warm up, and the warmth came to the face, so it was not so cold to ride a bicycle now.

Wei Xiao yawned a long time, and was about to go to Sister Zhao's house to buy breakfast, when he saw a car parked across the road.

Immediately, Gu Minglang walked down and took the initiative to go around to the other side of the car and open the door. Sure enough, it was Wang Lan who got out of the car.

Wei Xiao glanced at his shared bicycle, without any hesitation, he directly turned the handle and jumped into the alley quickly.

When I didn't go out before, except for Yu Lingling, I couldn't see any acquaintances and classmates for a few years. Now that I go out and start working, I can meet Gu Minglang and them almost every time.

Wei Xiao sighed in his heart, adjusted his mentality, and rode in the direction of the company.

From this week onwards, she doesn't have to go to the bookstore to stay, and today she goes directly to the Qinye Building.

When he walked downstairs, Wei Xiao couldn't help but look up at this building that could almost be regarded as towering, and the people who came and went were all not well-dressed without exception, and the down-to-earth atmosphere on the side of Zhongchuang was like two completely different worlds.

I don't know if there has ever been anyone here who also cried helplessly.

When he stepped into the door of the company again, Wei Xiao was already familiar with the road, and when he saw the empty office and the transparent glass wall, his ears seemed to sound spontaneously the sound of the wind of the day.

"Want to try again?" Qin took a look at her, walked to the wall, and pressed the switch.

The sound of the hula wind poured in again, blowing Qin Zhao's unbuttoned suit into a hunting sound.

"Do you want to continue the assessment?" Wei Xiao's voice instantly rose, several degrees higher. Although she is not afraid of heights and can overcome the weightlessness of falling, the feeling of dizziness is too uncomfortable, and she doesn't want to experience it again at all.

"You don't have to, you can go if you want." Qin Zhao's expression was quite sincere: "Anyway, it's still a little early before work." ”

Wei Xiao: ............

"Congratulations, though." Qin Zhao turned his words around, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Congratulations, you have passed the assessment period." ”

"That's it?" Wei Xiao still couldn't react, looked at the other party in a daze, and asked, "Don't you want to pump your back or something?" ”

"It's not a primary school exam, so you don't need to toss it."

Wei Xiao: ...... She just memorized it for a whole week.

"So, I'm really past the probationary period?" Wei Xiao took the contract and wrote his name on it, he was still a little dazed.

"Well, congratulations."

"Thank you."

The atmosphere was quiet again, different from the silence that had ended every time the topic ended, but it was obvious that he didn't want to talk, he had nothing to say.

"But why, I don't think you're particularly happy?"

Since the day before yesterday when she was in Zhongchuang, Wei Xiao noticed that Qin Zhao's tone was a little wrong, but she didn't ask too much at that time.

Qin Zhao looked away and walked to the open glass wall, where the wind poured in, blowing his hair extremely messy. Wei Xiao was even worried for a while that he would not be careless and fall directly like this.

"Wei Xiao." It was rare for Qin Zhao to call her name so formally and seriously, with a focused and serious expression.

"What do you think, the Pioneer?"

Wei Xiao was stunned for a moment, didn't speak, and didn't know what to say.

Qin Zhao stood by the glass wall with the wind wide open, his voice was wrapped in the sound of the hula la, but it seemed gentle and powerful: "In your opinion, what is the relationship between you and Wu Tong?" ”

What relationship?

Wei Xiao thought crookedly all of a sudden, and was stunned for a moment before he realized what the relationship he was talking about, and hesitated and didn't answer.

Qin Zhao continued to say to himself: "In your opinion, you and Wu Tong should be more inclined to the opponent. ”

Wei Xiao snorted, noncommittal.

When Wu Tong appeared in Zhongchuang, for her, there was not much difference between her and the red-haired and green-haired two who appeared by the riverside before, everyone came for the Moon Spirit Stone. The slightly different thing is just that the water floating lotus in Hejiangmen has changed because of the Moon Spirit Stone, and it has actively affected reality. And the triangular plum of Zhongchuang was affected by the moon spirit stone, to a certain extent, it should be regarded as Wu Tong took the initiative to exacerbate such a shadow, and used it by himself, so as to achieve the desired effect.

The Moon Spirit Stone was manipulated by him and became a weapon.

"So what?" Wei Xiao's voice was faint, making people unable to detect the ups and downs in her words.

"Courage, strength, speed and execution, these things can often be obtained through accumulated training and perseverance, and we can always achieve a state that you and I are satisfied with."

"But it's not just about the Pioneers."

"The world we live in is too mysterious, people in the past can't imagine what science can bring, just like us now, there is no way to imagine what the appearance of the moon spirit stone will bring, no one will come to tell us what we are doing is right or wrong, and no one has the qualifications and rights to say, we can only stumble forward, and it is up to us to determine whether things are right or wrong."

"In most of the things we do today, we already have pioneers, and our every move is to step on what they have done, right or wrong, and move on. Knowing what to do and what not to do. Because the consequences of wrong things have already been borne by our predecessors. ”

"But we don't have it now." Wei Xiao smiled and said suddenly.

"Well, we don't." Qin Zhao looked at her and said word by word: "Therefore, we are the pioneers. ”

Wei Xiao turned his gaze away, was silent for a long time and didn't speak, and didn't know what to say. There is an indescribable awkwardness, even resistance.

"I don't understand and don't want to dwell on these troublesome things, I have only one purpose as a pioneer from beginning to end, and that is to make money." Wei Xiao tugged at the corners of his mouth, and waved his hand with his back to Qin Zhao, just like when he first came to the company for an interview.

"As for the rest, let's talk about how much we can do."

I haven't even tossed around my own one-third of an acre, what's the use of bothering about other things?

No one knows what to do right.

Wei Xiao's back disappeared behind the elevator, and a black figure came out of the innermost office of the company, holding a large black umbrella even indoors.

"Expected."

Qin Zhao hummed noncommittally and didn't speak again.

After a long while, he spoke again: "What is the reason for this incident?" ”
