Chapter Seventy-Eight: It's a Name and a Taboo
Lydia once jokingly said that if she can't do it, she will apply for the same university as Timmy, Tsinghua University and Peking University are not necessarily good schools, but they are all students from all over the country, and she is one of the many people who go in, and the pressure to excel in such a place can be imagined, it is better to choose a relatively easy school with Timmy, continue to be her top student happily, and complete her studies by playing.
Although it was a joke, Timmy didn't feel good in his heart, and hated God why he sent Lydia to him so late, if the time had been a little earlier, maybe they could have gone hand in hand.
Later, they ended up not in a school, but they went to the same city, a city that the whole country yearns for. But that city is very big, and although they are in a big city, they seem to be separated by thousands of rivers and mountains. Most of the time, they can only contact each other by phone. Although every time there is no class, or when Timmy skips class and pretends to be out of class to go to Lydia's top campus to accompany her, it takes more than half a day to be on the road. But even so, Lydia can only be wronged by Timmy because of her heavy schoolwork, accompany her to the study room, accompany her to the library, of course, many times Lydia is immersed in hard reading, and Timmy is either sleeping on the side or playing games boringly on the side. But they can also go to the canteen and the playground together...... The cafeteria of the top universities is good, the meals are cheap and generous, and this is also the time when Timmy is the happiest.
Although it was difficult at that time, it wasn't until the pace of graduation that we really understood that what we had experienced before was really nothing.
The excellent Lydia has many promising outlets, and she can continue to choose to work hard for her dreams in this metropolis. Timmy used to think the same way, and even he prepared himself to seek work in the toughest of positions. It's a pity that in such a city full of talents, even the most difficult profession has not been able to open the door to him. When Lydia has received the offe of the world's top 500 companies
At that time, Timmy had sent out countless resumes and still none of them had heard back from him.
The indescribable gap was once again placed in front of the two people. And this time, even if Timmy wanted to follow in Lydia's footsteps, reality didn't allow it. When time mercilessly pushed the two people to such a fork in the road, if one of them chose to retreat, the result could only be a parting of ways. But what if, one person made a sacrifice? This time, it was Lydia who made a resolute compromise, giving up the offe of the Fortune 500 company
Follow Timmy back to their hometown.
Such a renunciation undoubtedly required a great deal of determination and conviction, so much so that for a long time, Lydia did not mention it to her family, in fact, she had already left the city she wanted to occupy. And when her parents found out about it, it was already a year later.
Returning to her hometown does not mean that there will be a good development, and Timmy's job search path is still difficult. At that time, the emotional guilt and the blow of reality made Timmy a little impatient and lost his mind.
Wang Zhe, that is, Timmy, decided to start a business. It's not that starting a business means losing your mind, but choosing to start a business when you're desperate has no reason at all.
With no experience, no goals, no projects, no connections, and arguably nothing, Timmy has all the dreams of wanting to make Lydia live a happy life!
The result of such a sloppy venture should be conceivable, Timmy's first venture failed. And not only the first venture, but also the second and third ventures in the next two and three ventures, Timmy failed without any suspense, just like he was admitted to the penultimate first place in the class without any suspense!
The original ambition turned into a disgraced face, and when the enthusiasm turned into the cruelty of reality, Timmy at that time was about to go crazy. He hated himself for being so poor, and even doubted whether he asked for help from his family.
Family, for many, is a haven from the wind, but for Timmy, it's not even a battered little sampan. Think about the beginning, the parents completely ignored the feelings of their children and resolutely divorced, regardless of the rebellious Wang Zhe's silent resistance again and again, he was busy all day long on how to maximize the benefits of divorce, and when Timmy needed his parents the most, they were absent from their duties. So, later, even when Timmy grew up, he was reluctant to accept his parents, let alone their help!
In the divorce battle with her father, although her mother did not win completely, she also raised herself and got a lot of property, plus she later married a rich man, and her life was still quite rich, and there was no problem in supporting her son.
It seems that there is some kind of fate to be able to become good friends, in terms of family background, Wang Zhe and Lu Xiao have roughly similar family backgrounds.
In such difficult situations, Lydia was always by Timmy's side, comforting, encouraging and helping him. This kind of help can be both interpersonal and financial. Timmy clearly remembers that Lydia's annual salary was already high at that time, but in order to have more spare money, she worked four more part-time jobs, and every day she was either busy going to work or taking care of Timmy. Other girls' weekends are shopping, watching movies and shopping, but Lydia's weekends are overtime and overtime!
Later, with the help of Lydia, Timmy began to get involved in the research and development of affordable luxury brands, and embarked on the sales channels of foreign trade, and the company's name is still the first letter of two people in English, Lydia, Timmy, LT.
Almost no one ever asks why this company is called LT, and no one asks what these two letters mean. But in Timmy's heart, this name is all the faith and hope he has for the rest of his life. So much so that after Lydia left, he didn't even want to call his Chinese name, he preferred that others only want others to call him Timmy, because this name is closest to his Lydia!
God seemed to smile at these two people, LT's business was getting better and better, Lydia also quit her job to come to LT to help, and many of LT's old employees knew that their boss and boss lady were very affectionate at that time. But later, an accident caused the two people who had gone through difficult trials to finally separate yin and yang. After that, no one in LT dared to mention Lydia about their former boss lady again, or even the name. That's why, Yuhan has been in the company for almost two years and doesn't know anything about it.
"After four years, are you going to continue to live like this?" The past is unbearable, the old love is naturally unforgettable, but the living people must continue to live. Lu Xiao looked at Timmy, only he knew what kind of scars this gentle-looking man had in his heart.
The coffee in the cup was no longer hot, and Timmy was still looking out the window like that, and in the drizzle, he saw Lydia walking down the street with an umbrella, and she smiled and waved to him.
"You know me, and what you have identified will never be easily changed. What's more, I never felt like Lydia was completely gone, she just changed places and ways to spy on me, to see if I was loyal to her. I want to reassure her that I want to do what I promised her, in this life, I am the only one in my heart! Unchanged in this life! Tears clouded Timmy's vision, and he lowered his head slightly, and two tears fell instantly.
"But ......" Lu Xiao didn't know what to say, he knew Lydia, that girl was optimistic, cheerful and sunny, she had her unique charm, which was deeply felt by anyone who had been in contact with Lydia.
"Man, now is not the time to worry about me, after you and her have really experienced so much, you should be able to understand my feelings better at the moment." I was supposed to persuade others, but in the end, I became persuaded.
Yes, others are not qualified to judge other people's lives, let alone criticize other people's lifestyles. The days are always their own, firewood, rice, oil and salt, sweet and sour, and all the tastes are only known to themselves.
In Lu Xiao's home, Su Ning is like an ant on a hot pot looking forward to Lu Xiao being able to bring back the good news of victory and triumph, even if it is not good news, even if there is a glimmer of hope. It's a pity that even such a little bit of fantasy was shattered when I saw Lu Xiao.
"Why can't you? Are you not trying to help me say it? Or do you think that women chasing men have embarrassed you, so you are embarrassed to say it? Yu Han looked at Lu Xiao with his cheeks propped up.
"Isn't that what makes Timmy so cute?" Lu Xiao glanced at Su Ning, who was still asleep, this girl seemed to be a little unworthy of Timmy.
"No, I'll go talk to him." Yu Han picked at Lu Xiao's palm, which was very itchy.
"Yuhan! Don't go. Lu Xiao grabbed Yuhan and hugged her in his arms, tightly, but even so, he still felt that there was still room to pull her closer.
"You're going to strangle me." Yu Han was almost out of breath.
"Don't go, don't ask, listen to me, don't embarrass Timmy." Lu Xiao buried his head in the socket of Yu Han's shoulder, and gently stroked the back of Yu Han's head with both hands.
But Yu Han clearly saw a pair of angry eyes staring at them, "That, Su Ning, why are you up?" ”
"I can't hear you until I get up!" Su Ning snorted in her nostrils, and her hangover face was a little haggard.
"Embarrassing Timmy, brother, what do you mean by that? Could it be that introducing me to him like this still wronged him, right? Or do you feel like I'm not worthy of Timmy at all? Su Ning pulled Yu Han away from Lu Xiao's arms, and almost didn't pull Yu Han from the sofa to the ground. At the critical moment, Lu Xiao steadily stretched out a pair of hands to hold Yu Han.
"What are you doing?"
"I just want to know, what weight do I really have in your heart?" Su Ning looked at Lu Xiao indifferently, and the whole room had a feeling of yin wind passing through.
"That, Su Ning, you misunderstood...... Yu Han wanted to resolve the embarrassment between the brother and sister.
"You don't pretend to be a good person here, I'm talking to my brother, you'd better not interject!" It seems that Su Ning really minds.
The four eyes of the two women looked at Lu Xiao at the same time, one with apprehension and worry, and the other with anger and dissatisfaction!
Silence, a long silence, may be the longest wait in Yuhan's life, but Lu Xiao still hasn't said a word.
This is the first time in memory that Su Ning has left her home so actively, and she has gone so resolutely! Lu Xiao knew that this time, Su Ning was really angry, whether Timmy rejected her or Lu Xiao belittled her, she was really angry. But he didn't want to explain anything against his conscience, and it was better to know some things early than to be in the dark.
