One morning, Xingyue still hadn't found a suitable house.

She didn't give up, looking around for rental announcements in a community on the outskirts of City C, and was stopped by a middle-aged aunt with curly hair.

"Little girl, are you looking for a house to live in?"

Surprised by Auntie's eyesight, Xingyue nodded and said, "Auntie, do you know who is renting out the idle room?" ”

The aunt immediately said that she had a small house to rent, which was quite suitable for the little girl.

"Would you like to come and see?" Auntie asked.

Xingyue immediately excitedly agreed.

"This room is a single room, and everything in it is very good! You live as a little girl, just right! ”

The aunt boasted about the house and took the key to open the door, but after poking it several times, the key failed to fit into the keyhole.

The aunt muttered a little strangely: "Hey, that's the key?" ”

Xingyue immediately became alert.

Does anyone know which key to use to open their door?

Could it be that this aunt is a liar?

Thinking so, Xingyue tightened her grip on the lever of the suitcase, thinking that if something was wrong, she would run away immediately!

The aunt finally found the right key, and with a click, the door lock opened.

Xingyue's grip tightened.

But when the door was opened, there was no danger.

The aunt smiled and took off the key and said, "It's been a long time, and my daughter is here to clean up." Come on, come on, come in and have a look! ”

Xingyue tentatively stood down at the door, and completely let down her guard.

Because there is no place in the house where people can hide.

This is a studio, the door to the left and right, the kitchen and the bathroom are the doors, and a two-meter-wide passage passes through the bedroom and living room.

The room is simply furnished with a bed, desk and wardrobe.

For some unknown reason, all the doored storage in the house was opened.

After the aunt closed the cabinet doors, she opened the curtains with a brush, and immediately, the room was illuminated by the warm winter sun.

The warm yellow walls and simple lines of furniture are exactly the style that Xingyue loves.

She loved it here.

"Auntie, how much is the rent of your house?"

"Ten thousand!"

"What?! 10,000 yuan?! Xingyue was frightened, and immediately pulled the box and turned around and left, "Auntie is disturbed, I'll go first!" Good bye! ”

"Hey, hey, don't go, little girl!"

Seeing this, Auntie immediately came up and grabbed Xingyue's suitcase!

"Auntie, your house is too expensive, I can't afford to rent it, so you might as well find another tenant." Xingyue hugged her box and started a tug-of-war with her aunt.

At this time, the aunt's cell phone rang, and she turned to get the phone and let go of the hand holding the box.

Xingyue took advantage of this gap and immediately left quickly.

But when she pressed the elevator button, the aunt still chased after her, and she panted and said, "Oh, little girl, what are you running, I won't eat you." ”

"Auntie, I really can't afford to rent, please take me to see the house." Xingyue said apologetically.

"The price is negotiable!" Auntie took a breath, "A thousand yuan a month, you can always afford it." ”

A thousand?

10,000 to 1,000 yuan, a full ten times the price difference.

This aunt ...... Really good at business......

However, the room is really good, Xingyue has been wandering outside for three nights and four days in a row, and her body can't bear it, not to mention that the rent is really suitable.

"Little girl, don't worry, I'm not a bad person, I rent this house to support the house (note: if you don't live in someone's house, it will be faster than the owner's house, which is "old"), and I don't want to make money. I was kidding you. You see, at this time, the real estate deed information and my identity document, you always believe me. ”

Exhausted, Xingyue finally did not resist the temptation of a stable residence and signed a rental agreement with her aunt.

The aunt put away the agreement, chatted with Xingyue for a few words, and left.

Xingyue looked at the closed door, but instead of immediately starting to pack her things, she sat on the bed and looked at the door.

Half an hour......

An hour......

Two hours passed, and the landlord's aunt did not show up again, and did not regret it like the landlord before her.

Xingyue put her mind at ease, simply laid out the bed, didn't bother to wash, and fell asleep deeply.

RK Group, Office of the General Secretary.

Ted quietly listened to the statement of the man on the phone, and finally relieved himself when he heard that Xingyue had settled in his residence.

"Thank you, I will pay the rest of the rent to your account on time every month."

After hanging up the phone, Ted did not stop and went directly to the president's office.

Behind the desk, Mu Lingyan stood with his back to the door, looking at the cityscape outside the window.

"Boss, Miss Xingyue has found a safe place to live."

After listening to the report, Mu Lingyan didn't speak, and mumbled tightly.

Although the girl is still stubborn to leave, she can't really let go, and guarding her by her side is a mission he will always continue.

"Ted," Mu Lingyan asked after a long silence, "Why did she suddenly insist so much on leaving me?" ”

Ted thought carefully about what happened in those days, and suddenly flashed in his mind the picture of Jiang Xinrou and the boss being interviewed in advance.

Although the boss was expressionless, Jiang Xinrou smiled with happiness.

Maybe Xingyue misunderstood that Jiang Xinrou was really the boss's lover, this stubborn girl who didn't want to be the "little three" in other people's relationships, so she insisted on leaving.

However, he didn't dare to tell Mu Lingyan.

It's not because I'm afraid of offending Jiang Xinrou.

But for Mu Xingyue, staying by Mu Lingyan's side forever without worrying about food and clothing is not a good thing.

Jiang Xinrou has her own film and television career, and various award-winning laurels belong to the double harvest of career fame; And what about Mu Xingyue?

Without the identity and past of An Yicheng, she will know nothing and nothing;

Even if the boss prefers to spoil her, but if she is as strong as her, she will never have a good time.

Only when she relies on her own skills, gets recognition, and stands by the boss's side, will her relationship with the boss be sweeter and more stable.

This kind of success is difficult to achieve around bosses with strong control desires.

Miss Xingyue, please come on!

Ted thought silently in his heart.

***

Because of having a place to live, Xingyue's tense nerves relaxed, and she slept for more than ten hours in one go, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already the early morning of the next day.

She quickly packed up her room in a good mood and started looking for a job.

But with no work experience and expertise, it is not easy for her to find a job.

The need for a lot of work experience turned her away.

Finally, five days later, when she was buying steamed buns at a convenience store, she saw a job posting, so she applied for a job with the store manager and became a clerk in this chain of convenience stores.

“boss。”

Mu Lingyan, who was looking through the minutes of the meeting, was interrupted by Ted.

"What's the matter?"

"Miss Xingyue, joined the branch of a chain of convenience stores under the company's name."

As he spoke, Ted put an employee information sheet on the minutes of the meeting that Mu Lingyan was reading.

The information sheet is pasted with a sweet photo of Xingyue smiling, and the job description reads: convenience store clerk.

Mu Lingyan frowned: "I don't want to be a big lady with a good life, but I am so happy to be a clerk who has to work hard and is looked down upon by customers." ”

Every day after that, Mu Lingyan would receive a thick envelope.

Inside the envelope is a stack of photographs.

Xingyue in the photo is wearing a convenience store clerk's uniform that doesn't fit very well, or shuttling between the delivery vehicle and the back warehouse with boxes of goods in her arms; or restocking shelves; Or you're checking out the bills for your guests, or you're eating a light meal with your colleagues.

But no matter what time it was, Xingyue was smiling happily.

This is a smile that Xingyue rarely sees when she is by Mu Lingyan's side.

These smiles reminded Mu Lingyan of her on the Seattle cruise ship, at that time, she also smiled like this, saying "no longer obsessed with the past, start living the current life".

When night falls, the city is lit up.

Mu Lingyan was finally busy with all his official duties.

When Ted informed the driver to pick them up, Mu Lingyan suddenly said, "Change to an ordinary car." ”

Although they didn't understand Mu Lingyan's intentions, Ted and the driver still did it.

After getting into the car, Mu Lingyan reported an address, and Ted listened and exchanged glances with the driver.

This address is the address of the convenience store where Mu Xingyue works.

The vehicle passed through the traffic, getting farther and farther away from the city center, and was about to reach the edge of the city, finally reaching its destination.

Mu Lingyan didn't get out of the car, he could see the shop window across the road through the window, and Mu Xingyue was still busy in the brightly lit convenience store.

"It's dinner time, and it's one of the busiest times for convenience stores." Ted explained.

The successive guests made Mu Xingyue have no time to stop.

Waves of guests came and went, and when Mu Xingyue finally made the shift, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening.

Through the car window, Mu Lingyan saw that she and her colleagues said goodbye to each other after changing into private clothes, and walked out of the store.

Without a trace of defense, Mu Xingyue's eyes turned to this side!

Ted slipped under the saddle, trying to get himself blocked by the opaque door.

"Did she find us?!"

Mu Lingyan sat there unmoved.

The window of the car was not rolled down, and Mu Xingyue couldn't see the situation in the car at all. What are you nervous about. ”

Mu Lingyan watched Xingyue cross the road, avoiding the passing traffic, and trotting towards the car.

But he stopped by a tree not far from the car, crouched down, and reached out to pick up something.

When I looked closely, it turned out to be a small milk dog.

"Dog?!" Ted was a little surprised.

I saw Xingyue holding the puppy with a loving face, stroking its little head, and whispering something in her mouth, probably comforting the puppy.

The puppy is very thin and has been outdoors for too long in extremely low temperatures, and its body is cold, and its whole body is shivering.

Xingyue wrapped her scarf around the puppy and left with it in her arms.

The whole time, she didn't notice the car.

In the car, Teddy touched his nose in embarrassment......
