Chapter 20: Love Disturbances and Workplace Worries
The eleventh holiday, not short or long, Sun Han still came back to Chengdu two days in advance.
In early October 2020, in a rented house in Chengdu.
The previous conversation was cut off by Sun Han and returned to his home in Chengdu, but this time he couldn't escape Zhang Lan's questioning. Before Sun Han could pack his suitcase, he was dragged by Zhang Lan and pressed to the sofa. Pretending to have a fierce expression, Zhang Lan asked with a smile: "You are so bold, you dare to hang up my phone, and you haven't finished speaking." Sun Han timidly tried to fool the past, "Huh? What, Sister Lan Lan? The last word was deliberately long and long.
"You don't come, you can't get past it. I've said everything, your Alex is still A
gus,Don't you have to be honest?。 Sun Han scratched his head helplessly, "Oh, how can I be as wonderful as you, these two are not here." Zhang Lan chased after her, "It's not here, so what?" Alex has been in touch since you returned to China, it's been more than a year since you've been back, and there's been no progress or anything? And that A
gus, I heard you on the phone before, I just didn't care about you at the time, okay, didn't you take the initiative to explain? ”
As soon as Sun Han wanted to get up, he was dragged back. Hurriedly smiled and said, "Oh, Sister Lan Lan, I'm just going to take a bottle of drink." Leave me alone for 10 seconds, okay? "After taking the drink, I have to sit back honestly. Zhang Lan chased after her, "The drink is also available, you should moisten your throat, let's talk at length." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll be honest, okay?" Sun Han continued, "None of them are in the same city, how can you make progress for me?" Zhang Lan asked suspiciously: "Don't you believe in different places?" How do I remember when I was in Australia, you were in Melbourne and Alex was in Sydney for a while. ”
Sun Han smiled bitterly, "It's different, it turns out that I have been in a different place for more than a year." But you also know that the domestic leg of the ticket on the Australian side, especially if you buy it in advance, is ridiculously cheap, and we don't fly almost every weekend and meet every weekend. I thought it was pretty good. But now it's different, when I was in Shanghai, Alex was in Beijing, and I came to Chengdu, and he was sent to Shanghai again, and I missed it all. is so busy every day, he is also so busy that he flies, and he can't see it at all. In fact, there are not many daily WeChat chats. ”
Zhang Lan nodded and agreed, "That's the same, everyone is too busy." No way, involution. Sun Han continued to talk, "After I came back, I felt that the domestic rhythm is much faster." In fact, it can also be understood, there are many people in China, the base is large, of course, there are many capable people, it is really not hard, no, many people say that no progress is regression, I think it is really true. ”
Zhang Lan snatched the drink from Sun Han's hand and took a sip, "It's because you are too ambitious." Sun Han smiled and snatched the drink back, "You still talk about me, as if you are not ambitious." ”
He continued: "Before I came back, I heard a lot of sayings, saying that the phenomenon of 30 and 35 years old is the same, but you said that our education industry is actually fine, but there are always a lot of successors. I remember when I was in Shanghai, I was on a business trip to attend an international tournament for high school students. Although those students are the top children in the top schools in the country, I am really amazed by the seriousness and concentration on the field, including their integrated analysis skills, English oral speech skills, etc. In fact, there is also a great sense of crisis, and even I think that when they grow up in a few years, I may not be talking about whether they will be submerged or led by people younger than me, but whether I will not even have the opportunity to compete on the same stage with others. ”
Zhang Lan listened more and more seriously, and replied in a timely manner, "So, you should develop well." Think so long-term. Sun Han grinned at the corners of his mouth, as if he was a little embarrassed, "Oh, I just have to motivate myself." Zhang Lan remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Hey? Why does it seem that the topic has changed? Rounding back, rounding back, so what the hell happened to Alex, and that A
What about gus. ”
Sun Han smiled dryly, and gently pushed the person next to him, "You really don't give up." Alex isn't doing much, he just can't see him, just talk to him once in a while. I don't know what it is, anyway, everyone didn't make it clear, but they kept in touch with it first. I think it's probably because we're both busy, and we both must have a common language. You said that we have been in Australia for more than ten years, and we are not very suitable for coming back, let alone Alex has been in Australia for more than 20 years. ”
Zhang Lan also followed, "There must be a common language." Sometimes I slowly find out that people may really have different experiences and backgrounds, which lead to different ideas, practices, and even reactions to certain things, understanding and acceptance. It is estimated that we are looking for someone who really has a common language, and the probability is a bit low. ”
Sun Han nodded violently, "Yes, although Alex and I haven't been together for so long, but I've known each other for almost 9 years, I think it's good to have such a friend, although he is not around, but he can occasionally chat, reminisce about Australia, talk about the present, maybe just spit out some things encountered with each other, it's also good." Zhang Lan continued to pursue, "That A."
What's going on with GUS? I really can't imagine that you would ignore him? ”
Sun Han raised his eyebrows, "Maybe it's been too long, and it really depends on time to fade down." Zhang Lan suddenly looked serious, "At that time in 09, you forgot, right?" It's been a long time since I've heard that name, so the last time I heard you on the phone, I was quite shocked. Sun Han hid a trace of gloom and laughed lightly, "How could I not remember, that time was always harassing you, pulling you hard in the middle of the night, accompanying me to the beach to cry, and accompanying me to K song." To be honest, when I first returned to Melbourne, I was quite depressed for a long time. ”
Zhang Lan tugged at the corner of Sun Han's clothes and leaned closer, "So, what's the matter with the two of you, I don't want to talk about him." You know. Sun Han nodded, "Well, I still remember my time when I was crying while singing, and I was drunk and dizzy, you are so loud, it seems to say something A."
Isn't gus just beef, you're for a piece of beef, as for that or something, hahaha. Zhang Lan smiled a little sympathetically and helplessly, "Yes, anyway, I have always felt that the matter of splitting my legs is never worthy of forgiveness." ”
Sun Han continued to say faintly: "I don't forgive him, it's been so many years, it's just that everyone is in China anyway, and they are friends of friends, so why did they say it, and then they added WeChat again, and then they chatted occasionally." Even Alex doesn't have much time to chat, let alone him, and I can't catch up with him. ”
Zhang Lan seemed to be skeptical, and deliberately said sourly, "Who knows?" Sun Han had to straighten his face immediately, "Oh, Lan Lan, you don't have to worry about me, I know everything." Anyway, it's just to be an ordinary friend, and it's best to develop into a customer. Zhang Lan suddenly laughed, "Haha, count you ruthless, you have to really put A."
GUS has become a customer, then I will serve you, you are really a cow. ”
Sun Han also replied with a smile: "I'll just say it first, and he can refer it." Anyway, you really don't have to worry too much, I'll be with A
GUS is absolutely impossible, and I don't forget much. Zhang Lan didn't say anything more, and talked about the time when she returned to Australia, there were laughter, sorrow, progress, decadence, happiness, stalemate, and many indelible marks......
After the eleventh holiday, it seems that it is almost the middle of October.
On the side of the education and training company, it has already resumed its daily relatively stable days, and it is busy every day in an orderly manner, but it is also peaceful. Occasionally, Zhang Lan has long been silent, but there are nothing new things worth paying too much attention to. On the side of the research company, it is a different scene.
Sun Han was busy with the pending school, making the last effort; On the one hand, it is necessary to work with a small team with a reduced number of people to do the assigned school research and development product research and development tasks; At the same time, he is also in full swing to do the job of applying for interviews. For a while, in the rented house, every night, Zhang Lan could often see Sun Han's sedentary and busy figure again.
In mid-October 2020, in a research company in Chengdu.
After several days of repeated communication, there is finally one on the side of the pending school, and there is progress. Sun Han was also busy and had to report to the general manager. The school was bound to win, but I didn't expect the general manager to have an unclear attitude. Although he is praising Sun Han's ability to do things on the surface, he still does not let go of whether to directly confirm the cooperation and whether to directly make more research products on demand.
After checking the existing products in the team that were already in the research and development process, Sun Han still added an extra task to himself, and started the research and development of new content in the new school first. I thought that if there was a simple content framework first, just as a sample, if it could be directly recognized by the school and show a more positive attitude, would the general manager be able to pass it directly? There are still such expectations. Therefore, Sun Han also made up his mind to do it.
After working overtime for several nights in a row, things were finally developing in a good direction, and the school not only approved the first draft of the course content at one time, but also directly reported it to Mr. Yao, a research company, which was very positive. Mr. Yao didn't say much, he found Sun Han in private, and also agreed to the assigned school tasks, and added one more. I don't know if I have a lot of heart, Sun Han also felt a little unhappy with Mr. Yao. But there was no time to react, because the next round of weekly meetings is coming again.
