Chapter 8: The Mysterious Old Man Reappears
"Huh?" Lin Mu was shocked.
Seeing Lin Mu showing a slightly silly expression, the corners of Chen Mengying's mouth curled slightly, and explained: "When my father was young, he couldn't even eat a few meals when he was poor, and after my mother gave birth to me, my life became worse, and my mother couldn't stand this kind of life, so she left her father and me who was not yet one year old, and married a rich man from other places. ”
"After that, my mother never appeared again, and the photos related to my mother were destroyed by my father, and until now, I don't even know what my mother looks like."
After speaking, Chen Mengying showed a self-deprecating smile, as if she was laughing at her bumpy and boring life.
The situation in front of him, Lin Mu never expected, he thought about it, and could only say "sorry" to Chen Mengying.
The two were silent for a while, and Chen Mengying saw that it was quite boring to go on like this, so she said loudly: "I said so much, you can also talk about yourself." ”
After speaking, Chen Mengying leaned forward, lying on the table with one hand on her face, and looked at Lin Mu expectantly.
"Me?"
Lin Mu was puzzled: "What do I have to say, a poor child from the mountains, who is not good at studying, has no special skills, has no money, no power and no power, and will not attract the attention of others if he throws me in the crowd." ”
"Although you don't have anything, don't you still have a wife?" Chen Mengying pursed her lips and smiled.
"Uh."
Looking at Chen Mengying's smiling face, Lin Mu sighed helplessly: "Don't mention it, my wife was still married to me by the village head, just because I studied a junior college and was a knowledgeable person in the village, otherwise, I would still be a single dog that no one wants." ”
Listening to Lin Mu's words, a faint sadness appeared on Chen Mengying's face, and she replied: "That's better than me, look at me, I'm 28 years old, and I'm still single, even the first kiss was dedicated to you two hours ago." ”
"Wouldn't it? Was that really your first kiss? Lin Mu looked surprised.
Chen Mengying smiled faintly and said, "To you, I have never told a lie. ”
"Then Sister Mengying, why are you doing this to me? It seems like we've only met for the first time today. Lin Mu was a little confused.
"Anyway, I have a crush on you, and I volunteered to be your concubine, can't I?"
“……”
At one o'clock at noon, the two ended their chats and left the café, Chen Mengying was because she had to go to work to deal with the company's affairs, and Lin Mu was because she wanted to go home.
Originally, Lin Mu planned to stay and get acquainted with the company, but Chen Mengying said that he would officially go to work tomorrow, and Lin Mu had no choice but to embark on the way home.
Just like when he came, Lin Mu didn't take the car when he came home, but chose to walk, but because the new suit on his body was relatively compact, he could no longer run like when he came in the morning.
In front of the traffic light on the sidewalk, the red light blocked the pace of Lin Mu again, recalling everything that happened today, only felt like a dream, turned to look at the towering building behind him, at the top of the building, four unusually eye-catching big characters came into the eyes of Lin Mu.
Dream Entertainment.
This is the name of the company where Lin Mu joined.
What Lin Mu didn't know was that after he left the building, Chen Mengying returned to the café on the 6th floor of the building alone, standing in front of the window and quietly looking at Lin Mu waiting in front of the traffic light, his eyes flashing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"You seem, a little absent-minded."
Quietly, a slightly vicissitudes of voice came into Chen Mengying's ears, looking in the direction from which the voice came from, an old man in white clothes, white hair, white eyebrows and white beard was standing next to him and looked at Chen Mengying with a light smile.
If Lin Mu was here, he would definitely be so frightened that he couldn't speak, because the old man in front of him was the mysterious old man he had met two nights ago.
The sudden appearance of the old man did not make Chen Mengying make any surprised expression, she glanced at the old man lightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't you know everything, and ask me what to do." ”
"Huh." The old man smiled and said, "Although I know everything, some things will change unconsciously. ”
"What about him?"
Chen Mengying turned her head to look at Lin Mu walking on the sidewalk and asked, "Did you know in advance that he would come to the company and succeed in the interview, or did all this be different from what you thought?" ”
"He's it." The old man also turned his head to look at Lin Mu, and said lightly, "I can't see through it." ”
"You're so powerful, you can't see through him?" Chen Mengying was surprised.
The old man pursed his lips and smiled: "There are many things that can't be seen through, and he just happens to be one of them." ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Chen Mengying and said: "He is the protagonist of the story, how the story will develop, it is all up to him, if he chooses the right one, he is the rule, if he chooses the wrong one, there will be no return." ”
After speaking, the old man didn't give Chen Mengying a chance to speak, and disappeared directly from Chen Mengying's eyes, not knowing where to go.
"Choice?"
Looking at the place where the old man was just standing, Chen Mengying's thoughts flew away, and she unconsciously remembered what the other party said when she met the old man two days ago: "You have a death calamity in your fate, and the only one who can resolve this calamity is your destined person." If you want to find this person, you only need to post a job fair in two days, and no matter how you test it, there will be one person left, and this person is the person you are destined to be, and when the time comes, it depends on your own choice. ”
At first, Chen Mengying didn't believe the old man's words, after all, the old man was like a magic stick, but when the old man said things that could never be known by outsiders, Chen Mengying had to believe that this old man was not simple.
With the mentality of giving it a try, Chen Mengying issued a recruitment announcement, and as a result, Lin Mu stayed.
Facing this young man who is younger than herself and looks very ordinary, Chen Mengying is confused, she doesn't know whether she should choose this person, if this person is really as the old man said, he is destined to be the person, then what should he do?
In the end, she made her own choice, and as for the outcome of such a choice, we can only wait for time to reveal.
……
On an unknown road, Lin Mu was walking in the direction of home under the warm sun, because of the difficulty of the slim suit on his body, he couldn't let go of his steps, and he hadn't reached home for more than three hours.
The company is in the city center, and Lin Mu's home in the city is in the slum, and the two are 20 kilometers apart, even if Lin Mu sped up, it will take a long time to get home.
Before he knew it, Lin Mu walked to a billboard with no one around, and this place was the same place where he had met the mysterious old man two nights ago.
Looking at the billboard in front of him, Lin Mu unconsciously thought of what happened when he met the old man, and he wondered why the old man would know that he would succeed in the interview with Dream Entertainment.
Could it be that this old man can still predict the future?
