Chapter 4: Reunion
After receiving Hua Xiaoyue's call, no, it was noon the day after Su Xiaowen's call, and I took a long-distance bus to Chongqing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When I arrived at the Chongqing four-kilometer long-distance bus station, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and after leaving the long-distance station, I immediately went to catch the light rail.
Because before leaving, Su Xiaowen had already informed me of the company's detailed address, as well as how many light rail lines to take first, and at which station to transfer to, etc., through WeChat, so I didn't have much effort to find the Chongqing Bo'ai Affairs Center I wanted to apply for.
At this time, it was already 5:40 p.m., and the company had already left work. I wanted to find a small hotel near the company and stay in it before contacting Su Xiaowen, but after walking along the sidewalk for nearly 20 minutes with a backpack and a laptop, I didn't even see a small hotel.
The further you go, the more remote it feels.
Maybe I've chosen the wrong direction, and I'm about to go back and find another way, or find someone to ask if there's a hotel nearby, when my phone rings.
You don't have to guess to know that the caller is not my parents or Su Xiaowen.
I put my computer bag on the floor as I pulled my phone out of my pants pocket.
As expected, it was Su Xiaowen who called.
"Hey, have you found a place to stay?"
"I'm looking, maybe I'm going in the wrong direction, and the more I go, the more lonely I get!"
Su Xiaowen sighed, and after asking me a few words, she laughed: "Didn't you tell me when you set off that you planned to find a place to live near XX Road, why did you go directly to our company?"
I smiled wryly, "I changed my mind temporarily, because I wanted to go to your company early tomorrow for an interview, and I was afraid that I would not be able to take a taxi, so I decided to find a place to live near your company, so that I don't have to panic tomorrow!"
Su Xiaowen laughed a few times, then lowered her voice and said to me in a whispered tone: "Didn't I tell you: I am responsible for recruiting the personnel for this position, what else do you have to worry about?"
When I heard this, my heart was hot, and I didn't know what to say.
"Forget it, you're not familiar with that area, why don't you take a taxi over, and we'll meet in the small square in front of the company, and then I'll take you to dinner first, and then I'll take you to find a place to live later." ”
"Where are you now? I'm sorry to let you take a taxi here, or I'll take a taxi to find you?"
"You're welcome, although we haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, our relationship is not ordinary, right?
I smirked twice in lieu of reply.
"Okay, let's not say much now, let's meet and talk again, you can go back the way you came now, walk to the small square in front of our company, I will take a taxi, and I can arrive in twenty minutes at most." ”
After hanging up, I picked up my computer bag and turned back.
Because it wasn't too far from that square, and there was still plenty of time, I wasn't in a hurry and walked slowly.
After arriving at the small square, I was about to go to the edge of the square to find a bench to rest for a while, when a phone call came in.
I took out my mobile phone, and when I saw that the caller ID was from Su Xiaowen, I was about to answer, but the ringtone stopped.
"Hey!" a young girl's voice came from behind.
When I looked back, I saw a slender girl in a white dress smiling at me.
"Are you Su Xiaowen?"
Although we have been separated for twenty years, and although I have a vague memory of her appearance when she was a child, I still recognized the other party at once as Hua Xiaoyue in the past!
"Don't you recognize? I recognize you at a glance!"
"The eighteenth year of the female college has changed, if you don't take the initiative to say hello, I really won't recognize you. ”
"Really, is it implying that the longer I go, the uglier I get?"
I replied a little embarrassed: "Where, where, I have become a big beauty!"
Su Xiaowen smiled, "Really, fake? Then you mean that I grew ugly when I was young?"
I smirked twice, not knowing how to answer.
"You haven't changed much, you're still the way I remember!"
I laughed and didn't say anything. I thought to myself: "I mean I'm still the same as when I was a child, dark and thin!"
"Okay, no kidding, let's go, there is an old hot pot nearby, business is very good, I'll treat you and pick you up!"
"No, no, no, I'm here to please, I'm here to apply for a job, and if you want to please, I'll please. ”
"Don't fight, today you are a guest, I am the host, you should be invited! If you feel embarrassed, if you want to invite me back in the future, I will not refuse!"
Seeing that she said this, I was no longer polite.
We walked through the square into a somewhat old street, and after about seven or eight minutes, we came to a street that looked like a food street.
Originally, the streets were not wide enough, there were many people, there were many cars, and many people walked through the traffic unscrupulously, which increased the congestion and chaos of traffic. The sound of the car's horn, the sound of the roadside waiter's greeting, the sound of guessing the boxing order from the various restaurants, the sound of calling friends, all kinds of noises are mixed together, and the noise is like a huge hornet's nest.
We walked through the bustling crowd for seven or eight minutes before we finally walked into a hot pot restaurant called "Lao Xiang".
Su Xiaowen seemed to be a frequent customer here, and after entering the store, although there were a few tables in the hall without guests, she did not go over to occupy a seat, but walked straight inside.
I followed Su Xiaowen through the lively hall, until we reached a staircase, we climbed the stairs, and when we reached the second floor, we saw that there were also seven or eight tables on the second floor. Three of the tables were vacant, so we sat down at one of the empty tables.
A waiter, who looked very young but had a mustache on his mouth, smiled professionally and came over to serve us tea and water. I put down the backpack and computer bag that I had wanted to put down for a long time, and took the opportunity of Su Xiaowen to check the side dishes on the menu, and got up and went to the toilet.
After I came out of the bathroom, I saw that Su Xiaowen had finished ordering the food and was sitting in her position with her head down and looking at her phone.
Although she was still the same as when she was a child, a little thinner, she looked much more beautiful and generous than before, and her skin was very fair, but she was pale in the past, but now she is healthy white.
Maybe it's because there's no one around and they're looking at their phones, so they look a little calm and focused.
This kind of calmness adds an indescribable girlish charm to her.
For some reason, when I saw her silhouette, I felt a sense of incomprehension in my heart.
This kind of feeling, I have had it to her before, but I didn't find it at the time, or I didn't want to admit and face it, that feeling is difficult to describe in words, in short, it is a faint inferiority complex, mixed with a bit of admiration!
It may have been the sixth sense that noticed my gaze, and she looked up the moment I stared at her.
My eyes overlapped, and I hurriedly avoided hers, coughed dryly, and sat back in my place pretending to be nowhere else.
In order to hide my embarrassment, I deliberately had nothing to say and led the topic to work:
"Actually, in the past two days, I have been a little worried, I studied tourism management in college, and the position offered by your company is not quite the right major. ”
Su Xiaowen snorted, "It's okay, I majored in international trade when I was in college, which is also not the right match for my current work major." ”
She sighed lightly and continued: "What's more, how many of today's college students can find jobs with the right majors after graduation? ”
"Well, that's right. I'm just a little worried about whether I'll be able to adapt to the role. ”
"It's okay, it might be a little uncomfortable at first, but I can take you for a while. ”
Listening to her tone, it seems that I have already been hired without applying!
Although I understand that there is a bit of human factor in it, I don't want to say it.
I coughed dryly and asked again: "To be honest, when I first saw your job posting in that forum on the Internet, I just thought that I might be able to try the job of data management, although the salary is not high, but I have been unemployed for more than half a year, and I am a little anxious." But then after reading some of the business profiles of the companies you introduced, I really got some curiosity, because before that, I didn't know there was still this industry!"
I laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Maybe I'm too lonely!"
"No," she said, one look at me, and said to me in a half-joking, half-serious tone, "It's not that you're unheard, it's that this industry is really mysterious." I can even say this: it is one of the most mysterious industries. ”
