Ling Ran suddenly sighed a little, hurt herself a little, and confessed a little: "Who said it doesn't exist, I am." When I was with Ye Ling, I waited for him 24 hours a day without turning off the phone. As long as he's free, a phone call, no matter what I'm doing, whether it's working overtime, chatting, I drop everything and jump up to his appointment, and I'm dressed up modernly, dressed up in the middle of the day, whether it's day or night, I have to make sure I'm radiant and glamorous. For two years, he gave me a signature pen, still with his company logo, and a free prize at the Spring Festival dinner."

That night, when Ye Ling came down from the podium and handed her the beautifully packaged box, the affection in her eyes flashed in Ling Ran's mind. That night, she thought that Ye Ling would propose, in fact, when the two lingered all night, they could also feel that the words were indeed on Ye Ling's lips, but in the end, the flowers were floating on their own.

Ling Ran felt another sore pain in her chest, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and angry, secretly ruthless: When the goods have an expiration date, and people are tired of seeing it, Ye Ling, how long can you fucking be in my heart.

Qi Junyi was embarrassed and hurriedly said: "Who hasn't met a scumbag when they were young." It's also a good thing that you've encountered it, and if you look for a man in the future, you won't be looking at the wrong person. ”

Ling Ran raised her eyes and glanced at him: What do you mean? I will look for a man in the future, I should find a man like you, and then I will die of greasy taste for the rest of my life.

Ling Ran said arrogantly: "That's not easy to say, it depends on who the next man is, if it's Leehom Wang, Nicholas Tse, I'm willing to make mistakes again and again." ”

Qi Junyi was dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Shao Chengzhi couldn't help but smile.

The waiter walked over, Ling Ran reached out to take it, and Qi Junyi wanted to grab it. Ling Ran smiled: "It's okay, the new company matches my salary in the United States." ”

Ling Ran opened the bag and took out a signature pen to sign, and the golden light on the pen sleeve flashed.

Shao Chengzhi noticed that "Ping An Securities" was engraved on the barrel of the pen, and there was a line of small characters next to it, which was not very clear.

"This pen is so beautiful, isn't it gold-plated?" asked Shao Chengzhi.

"Well, the Parker Gold pens and the nib covers are all 18k gold. Ling Ran was suddenly a little embarrassed.

Shao Chengzhi looked at Ling Ran silently for two seconds, and Ling Ran was even more embarrassed: This man is sick.

"You haven't had a boyfriend since you arrived in the United States?" asked Shao Chengzhi.

"Of course there is a boyfriend. Ling Ran hurriedly said, for fear that if she was half a beat slower, she was keeping a festival for Ye Ling, "I made a boyfriend in the first week of my arrival in the United States, who is 1.90 meters tall, blonde and blue-eyed, zero fat, eight-pack abs and sweet and sticky, and sells me every day for a plate of scrambled tender eggs."

Shao Chengzhi nodded: "Well, well done." Replacing a file is more effective than deleting it. ”

Ling Ran held her breath in her chest inexplicably, and she almost jumped up, but Shao Chengzhi's sentence was so true that Ling Ran couldn't find a suitable word to save her face for a while, and finally could only roll her eyes twice at the ceiling: "Have you finished eating? ”

Qi Junyi was actually embarrassed by Ling Ran and Shao Chengzhi's words—they would definitely be well-known among their classmates. But what can I do with Ling Ran, but the villain and the woman are difficult to raise, not to mention that this woman is currently unwilling to let herself take her home to raise her. Qi Junyi had to ask in a low voice while tidying up the bags: "Ling Ran, what else do you want to buy in the afternoon?"

Ling Ran was still thinking about Shao Chengzhi's words in her mind, and when she saw Qi Junyi nagging again, she was suddenly angry: "Don't buy it, tomorrow morning I will make an appointment with Li Yuxin to drink coffee at Wangjing CapitaMall, and after drinking coffee, the two of us women will go shopping together." Ling Ran accentuated her tone at the "two women", for fear that Qi Junyi would come and intervene again.

Qi Junyi suddenly glanced at Wang Xia.

Wang Xia asked: "Ling Ran, you haven't been in contact with Li Yuxin often over the years?"

"Hmm. "Ling Ran is embarrassed, for a cheap man, leaving home to go to the country, friends, classmates, and girlfriends are all cut off, is it worth it? And the most depressing thing is that other people and things are forgotten, but the cheap man and the past are still in my heart, and it still makes me heartache Ling Ran really wants to shave his ears back and forth.

Wang Xia was about to say something. Shao Chengzhi had already stood up: "Let's go." ”

The four of them took the sightseeing elevator down, Shao Chengzhi looked at Ling Ran, and asked, "Then why did you return to China for development?"

"Well, after I graduated from my MBA, I went to H for three years, and they never gave me a green card. This year, my H1 is about to expire for the first time (H1 visa is a work visa in the United States, which is issued every three years, and can be signed twice in total, and can be renewed once a year only after 6 years for a special reason, and the special reason is generally - the green card is being processed). I went to negotiate with the company, and the company said that it would do it for me, but it would take another two years" I don't know why, as soon as the man spoke, Ling Ran wanted to take it seriously and reply sincerely.

Shao Chengzhi smiled: "The company is like this, otherwise what will you rely on to get stuck, force you to work overtime every day, don't give you a salary increase, don't give you a bonus (year-end bonus), and tell you to work hard and don't have to change jobs." ”

Ling Ran also smiled: "Yes, it's true, but when I think about it, it will take another 2 years before I can start doing it, and EB2 (second priority for work immigration) will have to be done for 5 years at the earliest." With a master's degree and an average salary, it is not uncommon for me to wait in line for 6-7 years. So I have to work for h for at least 10 years. One of the people I know is a husband and wife who waited 9 years to see the blue sky. In the past 9 years, they have not even dared to return to China, and their lives are boring. I had the idea of returning to China for development, but I hadn't even thought about it yet, so I mentioned it to my family. It just so happened that a friend of my mother, whom I had called my uncle since I was a child, wanted to apply for listing and wanted to hire a director of the securities department. My mother was discussing with him that I wanted to return to China, and as soon as he heard this, he took the initiative to say that he wanted me, and the salary was on par with that of the United States, which caught me off guard."

Shao Chengzhi laughed: "You went abroad to study an MBA, and after a total of three years in Merrill Lynch, you can return to China as a department director." People say gold-plated, where are you gold-plated, it's gilding, today I opened my eyes. ”

"Why can't I be a director? If I go to any investment bank in China now, my title is at least (Senior Vice President, the title of investment bank to business specialist. Investment banks are all about inflation. What is the department director of a private enterprise? Ling Ran laughed: "Actually, well, this can't be heard by others - my uncle is that, a farmer entrepreneur, since he traveled to the United States in the late 90s, he has been singing until now: the sky in the United States is bluer than China, and the moon in the United States is bigger than China."

"Your uncle is indeed right about these two points, and he looks at them very carefully. Shao Chengzhi nodded earnestly.

Qi Junyi and Wang Xia looked at each other again, and they began to faintly feel that something was wrong. But Ling Ran and Shao Chengzhi, Shao Chengzhi and Ling Ran, this is too ridiculous.

Qi Junyi thought to himself: How could Ling Ran fall in love with this country bag, Ling Ran has always judged men by their appearance, but Ling Ran's attitude towards this kid is always answered, sincere, neither sarcastic nor impatient, as if, very obedient to him.

Qi Junyi scolded in his heart: A farmer is a farmer, and he is still a farmer wearing a famous brand, phew.

Wang Xia thought to herself: Could Shao Chengzhi be interested in Ling Ran? Shao Chengzhi shouldn't be that kind of man, Shao Chengzhi is very decent, Shao Chengzhi is insightful, but why does this kid talk so much today, except when he is with Li Zhao, I have never seen Shao Chengzhi talk so much.

Wang Xia secretly scolded in her heart: People love sluts, flowers are cheap, flowers bloom, phew, free chickens.

The four of them got out of the elevator and walked to the door, I don't know what was going on, walking and walking, Shao Chengzhi and Ling Ran fell a few steps behind Wang Xia and Qi Junyi, Shao Chengzhi said while walking: "Green card, it is indeed a headache, but I think that with your objective conditions (Shao Chengzhi quickly glanced at Ling Ran from head to bottom), it should not be difficult to solve this problem." ”

Ling Ran smiled: "I understand what you mean, is it okay to find an American citizen to marry." My handsome boyfriend with zero fat, two years younger than me, is really very cute, seeing that I work overtime until late at night every day, tired like a dead dog, he thoughtfully walked up to me with a glass of milk, looked at me with those two pure and immaculate big blue eyes, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, and shouted 'Wang' at me. ”

Shao Chengzhi laughed out loud: "Well, you don't have to be looking for a U.S. citizen, you can also find an international student whose green card is being ssing." "Many male students in the United States rely on this kind of female student who suddenly marries a little bit of beauty, but usually disdains him.

"Well, hitchhiking, there is this opportunity, and some people have introduced the citizenship card to the soon-to-hand hand, and there are second-generation immigrants, and they have been on a blind date a few times" Ling Ran couldn't go on, she also persuaded herself, for the sake of the green card, what does it matter if you get married, it's a big deal that in two years, the official green card will be divorced as soon as it arrives, and in the United States, how many girls have done this. In fact, if you really get married, maybe you will make do with it for a lifetime, and where the loess does not bury people. But because I can't get Ye Ling, should I sell myself cheaply?

Shao Chengzhi had been observing Ling Ran's expression intently, and suddenly asked in a low voice at this moment: "You went abroad to study, do you want to keep this love in your heart forever?"

Ling Ran almost jumped up: "You, you, what are you talking about?" I have already said that I applied to study abroad to force him to marry me. ”

Shao Chengzhi frowned slightly, and looked sideways at Ling Ran's eyes: "I know, one of your purposes is to force him to get married, and the other purpose is to force yourself to leave China if the forced marriage fails, so as to avoid the enthusiasm for him from fading." ”

Ling Ran's mind was stunned by Shao Chengzhi, and he stammered: "You mean that if I don't leave, he will get tired of me, right?" This is indeed a consideration for Ling Ran, at that time, the two had been in love for two years, and if they couldn't get a marriage certificate, Ye Ling would eventually get tired of herself.

Shao Chengzhi said lightly: "Aren't you yourself?"

Ling Ran couldn't help but stop, and for a second, she was as stunned as a wooden chicken. When she came back to her senses, Shao Chengzhi had already taken care of herself and walked forward. Ling Ran was so angry that she almost wanted to jump and shout at his back: How is it possible, I have loved him so madly, every breath is for him, how can I be tired of him Five years have passed, and I am still using him as a standard to measure all men, so I can't marry so far

Ling Ran took two quick steps, keeping up with the footsteps of the other three
