Eight

On Monday morning, the first thing Lin Ximeng did after going to work was to call those friends and tell them the phone numbers after going to the sea.

She first told Wei Ke that Wei Ke was the one with the highest shouts and cheers for her to go to the sea.

"Wei Ke, I've officially reported to work." Lin Ximeng couldn't hide his joy on the phone.

"If you say yes, you said you would report to work on Monday. I'm waiting for your phone number. ”

"Don't you need an address?"

"I know that place, I've been there."

"Nonsense! I don't believe it. ”

"Don't believe me? Who doesn't know Shanshan Fashion Company, about two kilometers south from that township government......"

"Hah! Sure enough, it's nonsense! You look up with the phone in your hand, and look south from your 10,000 Yuan Street, where is that pink building? ”

"New World Hotel."

"Not bad at all, it's the first and second floors. Now I'm on the third floor. ”

"What's the third floor?"

"Red Star Decoration Company."

"You...... Where to go to work? ”

"Yes." Wei Ke was puzzled by the second monk on the other end of the phone: "Hell! What's going on? You obviously said that you were going to Shanshan Fashion Company! Lin Ximeng put down the phone and smiled unconsciously, she really couldn't explain how she changed her hexagram overnight and came to the Red Star Decoration Company, even she couldn't know what was going on.

All the friends who received Lin Ximeng's calls came to Red Star to visit her, which made her feel overwhelmed in the first few days.

A few days passed, and all the friends who should have come came, and she was idle. Only then did she suddenly realize that Fan Tianfu had been silent, secretly watching her words and deeds, neither telling her what work she was in charge of, nor how to start her work, or even telling her which desk she was working on, which made her heart go up and down.

That afternoon, Lin Ximeng was alone in the office, she sat at a desk, and the feeling of idleness troubled her to fidget.

Fan Tianfu! What the hell is going on with this man? That day, she ran outside for a day and bought some groceries.

At dinner, Liu Daguang went in a hurry, and as soon as they met, he said, "Lao Fan is waiting for you in the company." Before she could speak, Zhuo Qi asked, "Lao Fan?" Which Lao Fan? She said that it was the younger brother of Fan and his entourage, who came back from the army and opened a decoration company on the third floor of the New World Hotel.

She brought tea to Liu Daguang and asked, "What didn't he say to do?" ”

"Nope. Just let me have to get you there today. This old Fan is tired of me. She seemed to have a premonition of something, and said: "Tomorrow I have to report to Shanshan Fashion Company, and I still have some things to pack up tonight...... Liu Daguang was impatient and said: "Okay, it's not too late to come back and clean up." Go ahead, I'll be looking for you all day. The school can't be found, and your house is locked. This is my third trip, where can I find a friend like me? Isn't it Zhuo Qi's teacher? Zhuo Qi said: "Not for friends, but for Fan's younger brother's company to visit your hotel more, right?" ”

"Where, I will speak for Teacher Lin first, Lao Fan secondly, and then for you." The three of them laughed.

Zhuo Qi said to her: "Then hurry up, don't make people wait for a long time." Fan Tianfu had already sent someone downstairs to greet her.

When she walked into Fan Tianfu's scarlet-carpeted manager's room for the second time, Fan Tianfu was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, frowning slightly.

Seeing Lin Ximeng, he smiled, gracefully let her into the circle of chairs, and before she could catch her breath, he said briefly: "I hope you come to work with me." Lin Ximeng was stunned.

She couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Fan Tianfu's gourd. She is going to Shanshan Fashion Company tomorrow, which is almost unknown to Wutong, and it is impossible for him Fan Tianfu not to know, isn't he obviously blocking the road and robbing it?

She looked embarrassed and said that she would disappoint him. For the sake of economic benefits, she has to use it for several years a year, and it is impossible to work in one place, not only to interview and write, but also to do it if a unit hires her to do things, as long as the time is short and she makes more money.

Besides, she has been restrained by the school for so many years, and she has never had her own time, and she can't sit in class after she comes.

Also, she is a person who is neither in charge nor in the management of others, and if she comes, she will not be able to listen to anyone else in the company except for him, the manager, and it is impossible for anyone else to be dispatched.

Fan Tianfu looked at her and asked with a smile, "Is there anything else?" ”

"That's enough! And if you don't get mad at you? She thought. She smiled, neither saying no nor yes.

"As long as you can come!" Fan Tianfu said. Lin Ximeng was stunned. She really couldn't figure out what was going on with this man.

Asked to see her urgently, but there was no news after the meeting; Months later, he suddenly came out again, stopped her on her way to Shanshan's fashion company, and unconditionally asked her to come to work with him, he said

"I want you to come to work with me", the tone was almost commanding, while

The phrase "as long as you can come" clearly says, "I don't care what your conditions are, but you must come!" It doesn't even leave her room to think...... Just when Lin Ximeng was confused and thinking about what the hell was going on, Fan Tianfu came in.

He sat down across from her and looked at her silently. Lin Ximeng hesitated and said, "I think I can't hold my breath." Fan Tianfu smiled slyly and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I want to know, what are you asking me to do here?"

"I understand your feelings, but you have to hold your breath."

"I've been here for five days, but ......"

"I know," he interrupted her,

"Even if you sit here, to me, it's ......"

"Say no more!" She quickly intercepted what he was about to say, and her heart beat wildly. Fan Tianfu stopped talking.

She didn't know what to do, and just then, the phone rang suddenly. She reached out and picked up the microphone, listened for a while, and said into the microphone, "It just so happens that Manager Fan is also there." She put down the phone, and Fan Tianfu asked, "Who?" ”

"Chen Xiaqiu. He'll be over in a moment. Fan Tianfu nodded thoughtfully. The name Chen Xiaqiu, who doesn't know in Wutong, who doesn't know, is a giant in the authentic construction industry.

When Fan Tianfu returned to Wutong to set up camp, he religiously visited the door, but he never expected him to come to Hongxing as a guest.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ximeng had only been in the company for a few days, and Chen Xiaqiu was going to visit her. In fact, Lin Ximeng had already asked Chen Xiaqiu's opinion before coming to Red Star.

Early that morning, she asked straight to the point, "Do you say I will go or not?" Chen Xiaqiu pondered for a long time and said, "Okay." Go ahead. She waited for this sentence to ask for advice, and immediately said: "You asked me to go, and when you saw that I was about to drown, you hurried to throw a lifebuoy." Chen Xiaqiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can't drown." It was then that she learned the name Fan Tianfu.

Hearing the sound of footsteps in the corridor and knowing that Chen Xiaqiu was coming, Lin Ximeng stood up and went out. Chen Xiaqiu was dressed meticulously in a suit and leather shoes, and when he saw her, he showed a warm smile and said, "How is it?" Lin Ximeng said: "I haven't felt it yet." Fan Tianfu came out and shook hands with Chen Xiaqiu cordially.

Back in the office, after greetings, Chen Xiaqiu asked, "Tianfu, how are your paintings doing now?" Fan Tianfu smiled, glanced at Lin Ximeng, and said, "With an elder like you paying attention to me, where do I dare to slack off." After the last exhibition, I painted some more, if you want to see it......" Fan Tianfu didn't continue, he was asking Chen Xiaqiu for what he meant.

Without waiting for Chen Xiaqiu to speak, Lin Ximeng said: "Look, look, I'll take a look too." One of Lin Ximeng's lifelong regrets is that she did not embark on the road of painting.

It was Bu Tianwei who led to this regret. At that time, not long after she was admitted to Wutong Normal School, in art class, Lin Ximeng was stunned when the exam papers came out.

Xin Yuan's portrait, which was modified by Lin Ximeng, was still very inferior, scored ninety; And Lin Ximeng, the avatar of the character who has been admired by the whole class and asserted to win the championship, scored 75 points.

Lin Ximeng's self-esteem was hurt like never before. It was the cruelest and most unfair treatment she had received for the first time in seventeen years.

In front of Xin Yuan, she angrily tore the test paper with seventy-five points drawn with a bright red pen and gritted her teeth.

This is the first time she has torn up an exam paper. While tearing, he cursed in his heart the art teacher Bu Tianwei on the podium who only had his eyes fixed on the face of the beautiful female student.

Her tears flowed profusely, her childish desire to get a good score in the first exam and get the attention of her art teacher was completely shattered, and the secret dream of becoming a painter hidden deep in her heart was completely shattered.

Originally, she felt that everything in the world was beautiful, however, in the blink of an eye, the beautiful world began to distort and deform in front of her eyes.

She cursed hatefully: "Bu Tianwei! I hate you! I curse you! I will never be able to forgive you! I can never forgive you! Lin Ximeng cursed, weak.

She finally fell ill. Zhuo Qi came to the dormitory to see her, accompanied by Yang Junman. Yang Junman said to Zhuo Qi: "Teacher Bu is too much. Who doesn't know Lin Ximeng's art level in the class? She's just good at drawing. Even my homework was revised by her every time, and she painted a portrait of a person with a few strokes. And it is unfair that others are far worse than her, but they get high scores! Who can stand it? If it were me, I would have taken the paper and gone to Mr. Bu. Lin Ximeng was too weak, he only knew how to cry, and he didn't even eat, so he got sick. I really have no choice but to call you to take a look. "Zhuo Qi can't help it.

He made an iron face and asked what medicine to take, and Lin Ximeng said that he was not sick. He didn't ask any more, sat down for a while, told her to get some rest, and left.

In the next few days, Zhuo Qi came to see her every day, and he didn't say anything after coming, just sat for a while, and then left.

Later, one day, Zhuo Qi said: "You are still so young, don't think that you have to do anything in the future." Two years have passed quickly, so you should cherish it and learn more about literature. Lin Ximeng listened, raised his head, and looked at Zhuo Qi gratefully.

Lin Ximeng couldn't deny that the reason why he had a good impression of Zhuo Qi back then was that Zhuo Qi comforted her when she tasted the first pain in her life, and when the first ideal of her life was shattered, he gave her a second ideal and let her study literature.

This is something she will never be grateful for. In Fan Tianfu's studio, Lin Ximeng saw Fan Tianfu's works in recent years.

It was the most abundant, the most memorable work of the painter she had ever seen. The size of the picture varies, and the content of the picture varies.

Lin Ximeng was stupid, drunk, and asked suspiciously: "You painted this?" Fan Tianfu smiled silently.

Chen Xiaqiu glanced at Lin Ximeng and quipped, "Could it be that you painted it?" Look at what you can! After finishing the painting, they returned to the office, and Fan Tianfu had already ordered someone to bring wine and food, and the three of them drank wine in the office.
