Besides, Xing has worked diligently and dutifully in the Liangshan Tractor Manufacturing Factory for three years, but there is no development. In the first two years, the factory took the opportunity of rural land contracting to households, and farmers urgently needed the opportunity of small tractors, and produced small four-wheeled tractors and walk-behind tractors in large quantities, which flourished for a while, but the good times did not last long, with the saturation of small tractors, their products began to be unsalable, and gradually the capital turnover could not come, so they had to reduce production, and workers' wages were repeatedly in arrears and could not be paid on time. At this time, a gust of wind blew in the society, saying that only by becoming bigger and stronger can enterprises enhance their ability to resist risks. So they looked outward for development. Soon it merged with Luoyang No. 1 Tractor Manufacturing Factory and became a branch of Luoyang Tractor Manufacturing Factory; Luoyang Tractor Factory sent a middle-level cadre to Liangshan Branch as the first factory director, and brought some orders. However, their factories are still accounted for separately. And so it went on for another year. In the fourth year, there were no orders in Luoyang, and the factory director they sent also went back, and the factory was returned to the original factory director, and the union existed in name only. They have no orders, no funds, and can only produce some tractor parts and carry out tractor repair business. The factory could no longer support so many workers, so it had to lay off a large number of workers. Xing, an engineer and undergraduate student, has also become a layoff target.

Xing's monthly salary is more than 400 yuan, but in recent years, due to the poor efficiency of the factory, she can only receive more than 200 yuan per month, barely maintaining her personal life. If you come to relatives and friends for a little entertainment, or buy a new dress, or send some money to the family, you will not be able to make ends meet, so you have to borrow, but then you have to save money for a few months. Some of her classmates work in special economic zones, with a monthly salary of two or three thousand yuan; Li, a high school graduate, has nothing to do, and his monthly salary is more than 4,000! Yijin returned to his hometown, and took the lead in investing 50,000 yuan in the tourism development of Daliang Mountain, winning praise from the villagers. In contrast, she felt aggrieved, chilled, and extremely unbalanced: in school, my academic performance, work ability, and ideological performance were no worse than theirs, but now my salary is the least. Isn't the principle of distribution in socialism distributed according to work, and more work is rewarded? Am I doing less than they do? She didn't admit it. Thoughts began to waver, and confidence in the work of state-owned enterprises was lost. Now he has been laid off. It is said that she does not have much nostalgia, and now the factory can only engage in repair business, making small fuss, and it is actually useless to ask her to be a college student engineer. She just felt aggrieved and incomprehensible: I worked so hard, did my duty, worked hard, and was fired in the end. However, she does not admit that she is incapable and does not admit defeat. She thought: They can all find good jobs and get high wages, can't I, a top student of the provincial engineering college? So she decided to also go to the Special Administrative Region to work and find another way. Thinking of working in the Special Economic Zone, Xing thought of Li again: he always asked me to forgive him, asked for help from many sides, and sent me money many times; If he had known that I was going to look for a job in the SAR, he would have spared no effort to help me. Let's shake hands again, rekindle the old feelings, and get back together. But after much consideration, she dismissed the idea; Because she couldn't let Lee see her failures, her downfall, her powerlessness. Eventually, she decided to call one of her college classmates who worked in the SAR and asked him to help find a job. Unexpectedly, this classmate was not accepted by Xing's previous suitor, he was jealous, and he turned out to be hated by love; Now seeing that Xing was unhappy with his work, he put away his reserve, put down his shelf, and took the initiative to ask him to help him find a job, so he gloated a little. He remembered Xing's pride in the university and his contempt for himself, and half-jokingly said, "Why do you want to work in the Special Administrative Region?" Not kidding, right? There is no iron rice bowl here, the human affection is very cold, and if it is not good at all, it will be fired! How can you work comfortably in the mainland? I came to work in the SAR because my academic performance was not good, my professional ability was too poor, and I could not adapt to the local work. You are different, you are a top student of the College of Engineering, with good academic performance and strong business ability, so there is no need to go to the Special Economic Zone to suffer this grievance. I advise you to stay and work in the mainland. Xing saw that he didn't remember the friendship of his classmates, did not forget his old anger, and spoke harshly, so he said: "If you don't want to help, forget it, there is no need to say these cool words." Please remember that I was no worse than you at school, and I will not be worse than you in the SAR! Look at it! Angrily dropped the phone. She thought that the SAR is all foreign enterprises, and it is all about interpersonal relationships, so why should she look for him when looking for a job? So she decided to go to Shenzhen alone and break a new world in the Special Economic Zone with her own ability.

Unlike other laid-off lesbians, who are still waiting to return to the tractor factory, she has always been a person with an independent will, and once a decision is made, she will go on resolutely. She went to the factory to receive a meager unemployment benefit, went home to visit her parents, and came to Shenzhen alone, neither trusting her connections nor looking for acquaintances, relying on her knowledge and skills to find a job. She reads newspapers every day, checks advertisements, and travels to various factories and companies at home and abroad.

On this day, Xing saw the job advertisement of Lee's Computer Company and immediately came to apply. There were many applicants, but there was only one position, and with the scientific knowledge she had studied at the university and the practical experience of work for several years, she was energetic, calm, and tried her best to defeat all her opponents and be accepted. She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her work and life had a new turn and a new beginning, and she could settle down and work hard. She believes that with her knowledge and ability, she will not be worse than her classmate, nor will she be worse than Li, and her salary will definitely not be lower than theirs in the future. With a strong competitive mentality, she still can't forget the humiliation of her classmates and the psychological pressure caused by Lee's success.

The next day, she dressed up, put on makeup in front of the mirror, and deliberately dressed up. Because she heard that the company in Shenzhen pays attention to the appearance of employees, which can be seen from yesterday's exam; Unlike in the mainland, you can wear anything to work. She looked at herself in the mirror and was still young and beautiful, her face was like a mountain flower, her eyes were like flowing springs, her figure was delicate, her clothes were fashionable, and she smiled with satisfaction. She looked down at the watch on her wrist, picked up her handbag, and happily went to work at the company, expecting a new beginning.

Xing got out of the taxi, looked up at the newly built office building of Li's Computer Company, it was very spectacular, and I was excited to think that I would work here every day in the future. She took out a small mirror from her handbag, looked at it again, straightened her hair slightly, and then quickly walked towards the company.

As soon as she entered the hall, it was Li who didn't want to come to greet her. Li is burly, with a suit and tie, and a good demeanor, and takes the initiative to come up to greet: "Miss Xing, welcome to join Li's Computer Company!" ”

She was very surprised, but soon remembered that Li had come to Shenzhen to work a few years ago, so she stopped and said, "It turns out that you are also in this company?" Okay, before, we were classmates, but now, we are colleagues. ”

The staff next to her saw that she had misunderstood and introduced: "He is Mr. Li, our boss!" ”

Xing heard it like a thunderclap and was immediately stunned. She looked at Li and recalled that she had often criticized and blamed him again and again as a victor, and in front of her, he was well-dressed and personable, he was already the boss of Li's computer company, but she was a laid-off job seeker, she didn't feel ashamed, and felt embarrassed, so she didn't answer, turned around and left.

Li hurriedly caught up with her and said sincerely, "Xing, please stay!" In the past, it was me who was bad, did things that were sorry for you, and hurt your feelings; Over the years, I have been remorseful and self-blaming every day. Seeing you here today gives me the opportunity to apologize to you again, and I sincerely ask for your forgiveness! ”

Xing stood up and said: "You are not wrong, who you love, who you hate, who you marry, and who you abandon are all your rights and choices." I don't have to do this, you don't have to apologize to me again and again, I'm tired of hearing it and don't want to hear it anymore. Then he left angrily.

The opportunity was rare, and Li chased after him, saying: "Those things have passed, in fact, there are many misunderstandings. Let's not talk about this for now, I'll explain it to you later. Aren't you here to apply for a job? I can provide the best conditions to make the most of your talents. For the sake of work, I would like you to stay! ”

Xing shook her head: "No need. You are the boss, I am the job seeker, and we all have the right to choose. Thank you for hiring me. However, I am not willing to serve with you. With that, he walked out of the hall and walked towards the sidewalk.

Li Jianxing had already left the company, out of the sight of the employees, and hurriedly caught up with her and said, "Please stay!" I know it wasn't what you were talking about. Actually, you are very willing to work here, because you are not a heartless person, you have always cared about me and encouraged me. Although we have not been together all these years, we have a clear heart, and I can feel and feel it. Only when love is deep will people be responsible. Though thou hast rebuked me to my face and slandered me, thou hast admonished me in thy letters, and hast encouraged me, and warned me, with fierce words and without mercy; But I can understand your good intentions, your sincere feelings. So, although I was wrong for a while, I was not wrong forever; I fell for a while, but I didn't fall down forever. I learned from my failures, I was alert from your scoldings, I struggled to stand up in the midst of hardship and poverty, and I struggled with my physical strength, my wisdom, my spirit, and my perseverance. Today I finally succeeded! This is the result of my hard work, the result of Tao's strong support, and the result of your many criticisms and encouragement. I can understand you. Please understand me and don't sentence me to death! ”

Xing listened to Li's large statement, recalled Li's various care and meticulous help and care for him in the past, and recalled his thoughts and regrets about him over the years, and couldn't bear it anymore, tears burst out of his eyes. She shook her head in pain, covered her ears and said, "Please don't talk about the past!" The dead are gone, everything is a thing of the past, irretrievable! After speaking, he broke free from Li with tears in his eyes, staggered and continued to walk forward.

Li caught up, grabbed him, and hurriedly said, "No! We can start from scratch. The deceased is gone, and those who come can be traced; There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. Things are subject to change, there is nothing immutable in the world, mistakes can be corrected, misunderstandings can be resolved, and winter is spring! This is Shenzhen, Li's Computer Company, a new place, a new career, is waiting for us to forget the past, face the future, go hand in hand, and create a better future together! I sincerely ask you to stay and help me so that we can start from scratch! ”

Xing shook her head bitterly and sighed, "It's impossible, never ever!" You already have a peach, she will do her best to help you start a business and work hard; You don't need me anymore. ”

"No, you're wrong. Tao can't help me with the computer company: she has no higher education and doesn't understand computers; Moreover, two families and one child need her to take care of them, and they are really inseparable. In addition, she loves the tourism career of her hometown, and is now the deputy general manager of Liangshan County Tourism Corporation, her hometown needs her, the leader values her, she has found a position suitable for her own development, and has a career she loves, and has no time to help me. You are a science and engineering student, knowledgeable, technological, capable, only you can help me! ”

"Don't say that. There are a lot of college students who come to Shenzhen to find jobs, and there are many people who have knowledge, technology, and ability. ”

Apricot wants to break free again. Li held on and said loudly: "Do you know that talent is easy to get, but loyalty is hard to find." Talent can be recruited, and loyalty can also be recruited? “

Although Li said it sincerely and reasonably, Xing had already made up her mind, and she still shook her head with tears in her eyes: "Please don't pester me anymore, I won't cooperate with you, because we are together, which will only make each other more painful." You have your company, and you can naturally recruit talents; With my knowledge and ability, I can also find a job in Shenzhen. Wouldn't it be better for us to do our own thing, not to interfere with each other, and to keep a good memory in our hearts? Why do you have to hold me so hard that you have to pull us together and make us all miserable? ”

Li didn't care what Xing said or tried to break free, but he just held on tightly. Over the years, he has often thought that Tao, Li, and Xing are classmates from the same township, relying on each other for more than ten years, sharing weal and woe, and being inseparable; Once separated, the world is north and south, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and it is difficult to get together, and there is a lot of worry, how can there be an end of time? He and Tao are husband and wife, and although they are not together, they still have several opportunities to meet each other every year; Hexing, although they are fellow villagers, due to the different nature of work and positions, you come and go, by mistake, it is always difficult to see each other, and it is already a stranger. For this reason, he wept sadly more than once and could not sleep at night. Today's God-given opportunity, we finally have to meet in Shenzhen, how can he miss it? Li resolutely said: "No! I can't win you to join Li's Computer Company in this life, what's the point of me running a company? Apricot, have you forgotten? You've told me before, I don't have good news, don't bother you. I have always kept this in my heart, and I will never forget it. Over the years, I have endured humiliation and burdens, worked hard to make money, learned technology, and learned management, just to make achievements and give you an answer and a surprise. Now, I've finally started my own company, isn't that good news? I've waited so many years for you, and I have a stomach for you to say, and I will never let you go! Please don't excuse yourself. Tell me, what conditions do you have to agree to stay? ”

In fact, Xing has always remembered what she said, and looks forward to Li regaining his strength, giving full play to his talents, and making a career. Li really kept her words in mind, implemented them in action, and made up his mind to leave Tao, leave his hometown, and come to Shenzhen to work. And his feelings for her are sincere and persistent, still the same, timeless, touching tears. She couldn't refuse, and she really couldn't find a reason to refuse. So she wiped away her tears, thought for a moment and said:

"Well, you must keep me, I have nothing to say. But I have one condition, and if you agree, I will stay; If you don't agree, please don't blame me for refusing to help you, let me go immediately. ”

"I also agree to a hundred conditions. Please open your mouth! Li turned his worries into joy and hurriedly agreed.

But the apricots shed tears, dripping and dripping, and couldn't help themselves. After a long time, she said slowly:

"When I was a child, I liked your name the most, regarded it as a treasure, revered it as sacred, read it in my mouth every day, thought about it in my heart, heard it in my ears, wrote it on paper, and kept it in my diary, lest I lose it, forget it, or be robbed of it. However, since you and Tao had the incident with the Warm Hotel, I hate your name the most: What Lee? It's separation, separation, parting! I can no longer see, hear, think, or recite this Li character. Then I hate when I see it, I hate it when I hear it, I feel sad when I think about it, and I feel sad when I think about it! So, if I want to stay and help you, you'll have to change the name. From then on, if I can't see it and don't hear it, then my heart can not think, don't think, and not hate, and I will forget the humiliation, and our relationship and friendship will start again. ”

What is this condition called? It's just deliberately difficult. Although he said that he could agree to a hundred conditions, he was also embarrassed at this time. He looked at Xing, momentarily overwhelmed.

"Do you have to change it?"

"It must be changed! Changed to season. It's another season of east wind, and thousands of purples and thousands of reds meet spring again. Only in this way can the ice in my heart be dissolved and eliminated. Apricot said firmly.

Li had no choice but to plead: "Xing, you want to punish me, yes, I deserve to be punished." Please don't embarrass me: my name has been used for 30 years, and it is also a little famous in my hometown and Shenzhen, and my company is also registered with it, how can I change it? Please mention other conditions, position, salary, housing, anything, I will definitely promise you all of them, and I will never shirk the blame! ”

Xing shook her head with tears in her eyes: "I only have such one condition, position, salary, housing, and I don't care about the rest!" If you feel embarrassed and insist on not changing, I can understand that. In fact, now, we are really not suitable to be together: you and Tao have married and had children, and I am still alone. There are many single women. In the future, when Peach knows that I am with you, what will she think? Aren't you worried about a storm soon? At the beginning, you chose to be with Peach, so I resolutely left you, just because I was afraid that people would say that I was a third party. Now she is even more afraid, because a single woman is most afraid of being suspicious. ”

"No, no, you must not think so. Taoli Xingchun family, we are three good partners who grew up playing together, good classmates, the same age and the same age, regardless of the age, no matter the order, between the three of us, we are completely equal, no one is a third party, no one has the right to exclude anyone. That's what I've always thought and done. I think Momo will think the same way, and she will definitely understand me for doing this, because she also thinks that the matter of the Warm Hostel is wrong, and it hurts us and you very sorry. ”

"No, this is just your words, and it doesn't represent Momo's opinion, so I'm still worried that there will be a storm that will sweep me in in the future and make me a bad person inside and out. I think you better let me go, you don't need to take such a big risk to correct the mistakes you made in the past! It's not good for you, it's good for me. - I insisted on doing this, not because I wanted to embarrass you, but because you wanted to embarrass me, I had to do it. I hope you understand. ”

Li was speechless. He knew that Xing was still haunted by what happened to him and Tao at the Warm Hotel before, and he couldn't forgive him; Now I'm afraid that Tao won't understand, so I take the opportunity to provoke trouble, making it difficult for her and him to work and get along. He didn't think any of these were reasons, and he could ignore them. In order to keep the apricots, rebuild the old good, in order to express his sincere apology, repentance, and forgiveness, he wandered again and again, and had to agree:

"Okay, since you must insist, there are many difficulties, and I have to promise you, which can be regarded as a punishment for me. I must let you see that I treat you and peaches the same way, and every word I say to you is from the heart, sincere, and I have not deceived you. The previous Li hurt you, and he didn't care for you with all his heart, so it's okay to change it. In the future, I will give you a new Li who will only care about helping you, and will not hurt you again, and will definitely satisfy you! However, I also have one condition, I hope you can promise me. ”

He looked at Apricot as if begging. Xing nodded: "Say it." “

"Now that I've made up my mind to change my name, I'm a whole new person from now on. The wrong things that Lee did before, the harm done to you, and the bad impression left in your heart, made it like a nightmare, a puff of smoke, drifting away with the wind, floating without a trace, leaving no trace between us, not a trace of impression. Let us start again with a new look, a new attitude, and a new feeling, in this warm climate, four seasons like spring, political reform and opening up, and a good situation in Shenzhen, the southern new city of Shenzhen, let Li Xingtong fragrance, with the spring breeze! Li said his wish with affection.

Xing looked up at Li and listened intently to him. "Let Li Xing be fragrant and bathed in the spring breeze." She remembered that this was a sentence on the birthday card she wrote to Li in her junior year of high school, and she didn't want Li to still remember it to this day, knowing that this was her wish and hope. At the beginning, how eager she was for Li Neng to promise her to let "Li Xing be fragrant and bathe in the spring breeze together"; But since Tao designed the Warm Hotel incident, after she learned about it, it was like a sharp sword, cutting off the love thread, making Li Xing separate, and since then, this beautiful hope has come to naught, extinguished, and disappeared. The thought of this made her very sad and grief-stricken. Unexpectedly, after many years, Li finally promised her to fulfill her original wish. She was moved, burst into tears, and nodded solemnly. Lee also burst into tears. The two hugged each other tightly, looked at each other with infinite affection.

The next day, Li changed his name to Ji, and the company changed its name to Ji's Computer Company, and went to the Public Security Bureau and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to go through the procedures for changing the name. Xing also officially went to work at Ji's Computer Company, and Li appointed her as an assistant to the general manager to assist him in handling the company's business, and gave her special preferential treatment in terms of salary and housing.

Xing saw Li's sincerity and love for her from this series of events, and was deeply moved, and decided to abandon her previous suspicions, settle down, and wholeheartedly help Li handle the company's business, and live up to his trust and trust.

Xing started from understanding the basic situation, and soon grasped the actual situation of the computer company, found some areas to be improved and improved, and with her suggestions and help, the computer company revised the management system and business philosophy, rewarded attendance and punishment for laziness, rewarded innovators and those with significant contributions, and expanded purchase and sales channels. In less than a year, the company had a major breakthrough and its turnover increased significantly, so it recruited a group of employees and opened two branches. Since then, Ji's computer company has gained great prestige and is also well-known in Shenzhen. However, people can't forget the old feelings, and still call him Boss Li, saying that the company is still Li's Computer Company.
