Appearance:

Ye Qian and her colleagues went on a road trip.

After I sent Ye Qian out, I returned to the study and turned on the computer.

As I listened to the songs, I planned my busy codeword plans for the coming week.

That's when Li Rui called me.

"Writer!" Li Rui said straight to the point, "Can you take me in for the night tonight?" ”

"How?" I asked, puzzled.

"Let's talk later, alright!" Li Rui said eagerly.

"Where are you?" I hurriedly asked, "I'll pick you up in my car!" ”

"It's downstairs at your house!" Li Rui smiled.

"Then come up!" As I spoke, I walked to the balcony and saw that on the side of the road downstairs, Li Rui was carrying a suitcase and walking with difficulty.

I walked briskly towards the elevator.

When I got downstairs, Li Rui was struggling to carry the box towards the door.

"How?" I took the box in Li Rui's hand and asked curiously, "The magazine is yellow, are you unemployed?" ”

"What about you?" Li Rui looked me up and down in wonder, "How did it become like this?" ”

"I'll explain to you later," I said, smiling, "is the magazine yellow?" ”

"You guessed it," Li Rui wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and said, "It's been yellow for more than two months, I've been looking for a job for more than a month, and I really have nowhere to stay today, so I think of you!" ”

"Surely you haven't eaten yet, have you?" I guessed.

"Yes!" Li Rui smiled.

I looked at Li Rui for a full minute, and Li Rui trembled with fright.

"You're not going to take advantage of the fire!" Li Rui asked cautiously as she went upstairs.

"I've long been out of interest in women!" I smiled.

Li Rui looked at me suspiciously.

After I put down Li Rui's suitcase, I took her downstairs to a restaurant.

"You're like this," Li Rui asked curiously, "hasn't your girlfriend broken up with you yet?" ”

"No breakup!" I said seriously, "That guy deliberately dressed me like this, just because he was afraid that I would associate with other women!" When I dress up like this, women will basically hide away when they see it, right? ”

"That's right!" Li Rui suddenly realized, "If I hadn't known you before, even if I slept on the street tonight, I wouldn't dare to associate with you like this!" ”

"Now you see!" I laughed.

"Your girlfriend really has a way," Li Rui said with a smile, "so is she really not coming back at night?" ”

"No return!" I showed a look of disdain and said, "People go out for a road trip, saying that they are with colleagues, who knows with whom?" ”

"It's hard to find a job right now!" Li Rui sighed lightly.

"It's been more than two months since the magazines were yellow, so where have you been for more than a month?" I asked, puzzled.

"It's a long story," Li Rui sighed and began to talk helplessly, "After the magazine went yellow, many of my colleagues left Beijing, and I didn't want to go back so disgraced, let others see jokes, and let my parents worry, so I started looking for a job in Beijing." Soon, I saw a job advertisement in a newspaper that there was an urgent need for a number of senior editors. I hurriedly introduced my resume to the other party on the phone, and after listening to it, the other party asked me to go to the interview the next day, and the interview took place in a courtyard in the alley in front of Dashilar. That day, when I arrived outside Dashilar as promised, the person who picked me up took me into a rickshaw, and after walking around the alley for a while, the cart stopped at the entrance of a small courtyard hidden deep in the alley. After entering, the courtyard is ordinary, no different from the messy courtyards that are common in Beijing. However, as soon as I entered the inner room, the scene inside was very different: there were bookshelves on all sides, some people were hinged and glued with scissors and paste on the table, some people were busy with the mouse and keyboard in front of the computer, and all kinds of Chinese and foreign classics, best-selling books and periodicals, as well as college and secondary school textbooks, abounded, piling up from the floor to the ceiling......

"How do I feel like a den of pirated books?" I thought about it.

"You're right!" Li Rui continued, "I love to read, and when I see so many books, I am immediately very happy. As I looked around the room with delight, a hairy thief began to talk me about the job. After listening to it for a while, I understood what was going on, it turned out that my job was to reinvent the material they provided, add oil and vinegar, and then publish it as a book. Just when I was thinking about whether this work was a disguised piracy, the long-haired thief smiled and said that it reassured me greatly, saying that they are all regular large publishing units......"

"That hairy thief is lying to you!" I looked at Li Rui's bright eyes and said.

"I'm talking about the long-haired thief," Li Rui only then noticed my fluttering hair, and quickly explained, "It's not about you! You're a long-haired beauty, not a hairy thief! ”

"Did you end up going?" I asked hurriedly.

"I told them to think about it," Li Rui smiled slightly, "and after leaving that small courtyard, I began to walk aimlessly through the criss-crossed, winding alleys, pondering what the hairy thief had said. The road in the alley was bent and turned, and after walking for a while, I was dizzy. I had no choice but to call a rickshaw and pull myself out of this labyrinthine alley. ”

"The first time I went to the hutongs of Beijing, I also got lost!" I laughed.

"When I got back to the hostel," Li Rui said with a look of resentment, "when I was struggling to choose whether to go or not, my stomach that began to 'growl' and made a choice for me without hesitation. That's how I became a 'senior editor' and started working on a makeover of all kinds of materials. ”

"This kind of work is not a light of sight!" I said to Li Rui.

"I know!" "I want to make some money and leave there and continue looking for work!" ”

"Understandable," I smiled, "survival comes first!" ”

"The more infuriating thing is yet to come," said Li Rui angrily, "the long-haired thief offered me a supper after I finished working overtime, and then he hugged me like a beast while he was drinking, and began to grope my ......."

"And then?" I asked hurriedly.

"Then I tried to resist," Li Rui said through gritted teeth, "I definitely couldn't let him succeed, so I bit his lip off!" ”

"Good bite!" I happily said, "It's all over me after the bite?" ”

"Hmm!" Li Rui nodded seriously, "I'm really blind!" ”

"Don't be angry," I said with concern, "let's eat!" ”

Li Rui smiled embarrassedly.

I picked up the cup, and Li Rui also picked up the cup.

"Cheers!" I laughed.

Li Ruiyan smiled.

Her face was flushed.

The ghost blows the lamp
