When she got home, the moment Qingzi opened the door and wanted to go in, she turned around and smiled at An Ran: "Be good to her!" Then she closed the door and rushed into the bathroom, turned on the faucet to the maximum, rinsed her already stiff face with the coldest water, this is she used all her courage to calmly say those words to An Ran with difficulty, her task was accomplished, she didn't hurt anyone, she just made herself so embarrassed.

Xingchen never thought that the renderings he racked his brains to draw were vetoed by the leader, and they were eliminated before they were handed over to the customer, and his mood was extremely bad. Perhaps this is what is commonly said as the hope increases, the disappointment increases.

"How did you meet that Mr. Long?" He Fangfang asked at noon.

"Just one customer." Xingchen doesn't have any thoughts, the company attaches great importance to Mr. Long, a customer, and she also wants to do it well, but she always feels powerless.

"Look at that line of work is not small, you have to serve him well, and you will definitely not have to worry about your future performance."

"You don't know, I was scolded by the manager today because of Mr. Long's renderings, isn't the customer first, the customer is God? I paint according to the needs of customers, but I say that I am not professional and let customers lead the nose, there is no aesthetics, what the hell, if the customer is professional, can we still use us? I'm really. ”

"The manager is also anxious for you, this is a big order after all, and the manager is usually good to you!"

"Okay, I don't want to talk about him, it's unappetizing."

Xingchen did not move her chopsticks a few times before getting up and leaving, and she had lost a lot of weight recently.

Back in the office, Xingchen received a call from Chief Assistant Long, it was really a good show, she had promised to release the renderings today, but she broke her promise again, she really had no shame to face, if it weren't for the field, I'm afraid she would have been eliminated.

"Assistant Xu, hello!" Although Xingchen was mentally prepared, he was still cautious.

"Mr. Long wants to invite you to dinner at night, are you free?"

"Okay, what time is it?"

"I'll send you the time and place when I've booked the restaurant later."

"Assistant Xu, can you tell me what happened?"

"Miss Xing, I don't know anything about it."

"Well, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Xingchen began to speculate and think of various reasons, but she was always nervous, after all, she didn't do what she promised and blamed herself.

Seeing that there were still more than two hours before the end of work, she revised the renderings according to the manager's opinion, and even if it was not perfect, it could at least be dealt with.

With this drawing, Xingchen's heart that had been hanging was slightly relaxed. Although I have seen many customers and have also encountered complaints, she can face them calmly, but I don't know why I always have an intuition that tells her that Mr. Long's bowl of rice is very unpalatable, so she is very nervous.

When Xingchen appeared in the restaurant, in addition to Mr. Long, there was also An Ran and another strange man, and her intuition told her that the drawings in her hand were afraid that she had made this mouth-to-mouth "duck meat" for nothing, and she was afraid that she would fly away.

"Mr. Long, hello!" Xingchen greeted politely.

Mr. Long seemed to be in a good mood and let her sit next to him.

"Let me introduce you to you, Enron, you have met, this is Mr. Li of our company."

"Hello Mr. Li, hello Mr. An." Xingchen greeted Enron as if it were the first time they met.

"Eat first, let's talk while we eat." Mr. Long said.

"Mr. Long, I've already drawn the renderings, do you want to take a look?" When Xingchen was about to take out the drawings, he was rejected by Mr. Long.

"Xingchen, I'm really sorry, you also know that my daughter is picky, I originally thought that it would be good for her to come back to live directly after the decoration, so that she would save worry and effort, but I didn't expect her to tell me last night that she wanted to come back and get it herself, so I can't help it." But today, our Mr. Li's house can be made for you, and I hope you can do it well? ”

After Xingchen heard this, the gap in his heart was no worse than that of a waterfall of 10 million meters, but he could also see Mr. Long's intentions, in fact, he didn't need to set up a dinner party for something like this and just let the assistant tell him directly, so all in all, she was still very grateful to Mr. Long.

"Mr. Long, you are too polite, I am very happy whether I succeed in cooperating with you or not, I respect you for this cup, I will do you at will."

An Ran looked at this large glass of wine and wanted to stop it too late, and Xingchen's stubbornness made him feel very distressed.

"Then Mr. Li, when it's convenient for you, take Xingchen to see the house, I have other things to do, I'll leave first, Anron, you can accompany Mr. Li and Xingchen."

Not long after Mr. Long left, Mr. Li and Xingchen exchanged a few polite words and left, leaving only An Ran.

"Actually, you don't have to be so reckless, Mr. Long won't care about this." Enron said.

"I'll go back first."

Just as Xingchen opened the door and went out, An Ran pulled her back, she could obviously feel An Ran's hand trembling constantly, and after stopping for a second or two, she still ruthlessly shook his hand away.

What Xingchen cares about is not that this big order is lost, nor does she care about returning to the company to face the accusations and lessons of the boss's leader, what she cares about is that she doesn't know how to face Tian Ye and Qingzi, her spirit has been in a trance these days, and it is no wonder that she was taught a lesson by the leader. Of course, leaders will never listen to your useless excuses, and if you don't do your job well, you can't do it well.

Ups and downs are a common thing in the workplace, especially like Xingchen, who has experienced the process of climbing from the lowest trough to the peak of life, and the occasional fall is bearable for her, and this experience also made her understand that there is sunshine and wind and rain on the way to fly, and honor is temporary, and she believes that setbacks are also.

After she finished reporting her work, she was inexplicably relaxed, as if she had let go of a heavy burden, and she could finally walk faster in these few steps.

Unconsciously, Xingchen came to this bar again, maybe because she was particularly impressed by the song she sang there, there were not many people tonight, she didn't drink but just sat in that corner quietly listening to the beautiful singing that came into her ears, and there was a frustrated person next to her who poured himself to death one by one, she understood that every time the song ended, her heart became more and more lost, so she chose to leave before the music ended.

Walking alone in the black night, the night is not too deep, passers-by are in twos and threes, the lights in the distance are flickering on and off, and the noise of the cars and human voices on the road cannot be heard, and the stars always hear the drum beat in their ears, feeling like a lonely ghost.

"Hey, beauty!" A man patted her on the shoulder and startled her, she subconsciously hugged her bag tightly, looking at the man in front of her with a little familiarity.

"You're the guy who sang at the bar just now?"

"yes, why did you come out alone?"

"Questions?"

"No, I notice you every time you come, can we make friends? My name is Zeyang. ”

Xingchen followed the lights on the road and looked at the boy with clear eyebrows in front of him, is this an affair?

"My name is Xingchen" instead, Xingchen generously reached out his right hand and shook it with him, maybe it should feel good to have someone to accompany him on this road.

"There's a barbecue there, I'll treat you to a barbecue." Zeyang pointed to the shop not far away with the words "delicious barbecue" written on it.

Maybe when I come out to work, I always feel that the man around me is more difficult to guess than the woman's heart, maybe the pressure of life makes everyone have to become mature immediately, but the boy in front of him is so sincere that it is irresistible, after all, they are not familiar with each other, at least she can take off her disguise in front of him and be herself easily, they don't know what kind of past they have with each other, so she agreed.

"Why are you singing in a bar?" Xingchen was full of curiosity about this boy, and she looked at him as if he was still a student on campus.

Zeyang smiled very good-looking and warm: "The reason why I sing is like you eat skewers here, in order to survive." ”

"That's right, it's my question that's stupid." Xingchen smiled and recalled the scene just now: "You all talk to girls like this? ”

"No, you're the first, because I like that song you sang so I noticed you."

In this way, Xingchen had a pleasant chat with this boy who was not the first time they met, and they left each other's phone numbers before parting, Xingchen never thought that he would one day meet a strange boy on the street and leave each other's phone numbers, which is also a wonderful fate, at least it feels good to chat with multiple friends and multiple people.

Since Xingchen lost the piece of fat that reached her mouth, the manager's attitude towards her has changed a lot, and she doesn't dare to commute to work as recklessly as before, and she arrives at the office on time every day.

Tonight is Tian Ye's day, and sure enough, he continues his usual style, accompanied by beautiful wines and beauties, and Xingchen is also ready to send gifts to him, which can be regarded as thanking him for his help during this time, since Mr. Long's single was in the soup, Xingchen strongly asked him not to help her introduce customers like this in the future, and he has restrained a lot. It's been a long time since I've seen Kiyoko, and I see that she's in a good state, but I just don't know what to say when I face her, as if any words of concern seem contrived and pretentious, and she can only follow this when she sees that she is silent.

"Happy Birthday!" All the young men and women raised their glasses to bless the field, which was already a little drunk.

"I thank you very much for coming over to celebrate my birthday, I am very happy, it means that you all regard me as a friend, so in the future, no matter if you have any needs at any time, as long as I can help, I will help, including helping my brothers chase girlfriends, as long as my brothers are happy, I will be happy, cheers!" Especially the last sentence, Tian Ye looked at An Ran and said.

The whole party was very lively, Tian Ye was busy dealing with the clinking of glasses from his friends, and An Ran still took good care of Xingchen, but Xingchen always kept a distance from him unconsciously, and when she wanted to approach Qingzi, Qingzi always walked away intentionally or unintentionally, as if deliberately keeping a distance from her, which made her very embarrassed, and she had to silently find a corner to sit down.

He knew that in Kiyoko's eyes, the stars were always difficult to pass, so he tried to approach Kiyoko and explain something to her.

"Kiyoko, can you go out and talk to me?" An Ran approached Kiyoko.

Qingzi glanced at it and silently followed An Ran out.

"You're still not going to forgive the stars, are you? Xingchen didn't do anything wrong, didn't you go too far with her like this? An Ran asked.

"I know you're trying to defend the stars, but no, it's between us." Qingzi thought that An Ran would consider some issues from her perspective even if it was for persuasion, but now it seems that there is no at all, so she is even more sad.

"I know you must not be happy in your heart, but you are not hurting anyone by going on like this, and giving yourself a chance is also a chance to atone for my sins."

"Your chance to atone for your sins is not to fall in love with the stars." Kiyoko regretted it after saying this, but she couldn't take it back when she said it, so she couldn't pull it off.

"Kiyoko, you're so selfish, I'm disappointed!" An Ran finished speaking and left.

Qingzi squatted at the door and tears poured out like a flood of lack of embankment, she knew that she was very selfish but she just couldn't convince herself, no one had ever said this about herself since she was a child, as long as she wanted something, her parents would try their best to give it to her, although she also liked a lot of boys when she was in school, but it was all a youthful impulse, a flash, and this time the heart was too long, so she wanted to get it and wanted to fight for it, why did this become "selfish" in the eyes of others? She doesn't understand!

I don't know when Xingchen has appeared in front of her and hugged her tightly, at that moment Kiyoko was so uncomfortable that her heart was about to break, she also hugged Xingchen tightly, she longed for this embrace for too long.

"Kiyoko, I'm sorry, can you forgive me?"

That night, I thought that Kiyoko would forgive Xingchen, but she never answered Xingchen's words and left directly in a taxi. This time the stars didn't catch up, she knew from that embrace that Kiyoko needed to be quiet at the moment, she needed to bear and face these alone, she needed a step and space, and hoped that she could get better.

"Xingchen, I'll send you back!" Enron said.

"No need, there is one more thing I want to tell you, I can't be with you, so please stay away from me in the future." Xingchen didn't even know why she was so resolute, in fact, she didn't hate this man very much in her heart, but she couldn't make Kiyoko continue to shed tears. In the face of love, she chose friendship without hesitation.
