Chapter 80
Sometimes, change requires a little outside push. As far as Tang Xin's strength is concerned, it is enough to overthrow my entire person.
I have to admit that I sincerely admire and envy Tang Xin, who has a clear self-awareness and is always true to his heart. For example, in terms of clothing matching, Tang Xin has always followed his own unique opinions. Even though she looks good in everything she wears, she won't give in because of this, especially when it comes to other things. And her self-confidence and persistence will inevitably have an impact on the people around her.
During the four years of college, Tang Xin, like me, had no chance of falling in love. The difference is that Tang Xin didn't find a suitable object, while I didn't even think about looking for it. As a result, it is only natural that we have become each other's most loyal and reliable playmates. Whenever I find something delicious and fun, Tang Xin will always be the first to think of me, and whenever I need a friend to accompany me, I will always go to Tang Xin as soon as possible. It was a pleasure to go shopping with Tang Xin, not only because she was able to attract the attention of the salesperson without exception, so that I could stop and look at the products I was interested in without pressure, but also because her comments and suggestions were often very accurate, which really helped me solve a lot of problems and troubles. Unable to resist her combination of hard and soft, I bought my first dress in my life. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but after that, Tang Xinzhuo would ask me to go shopping shortly after I got my salary, and "instigated" me to buy a new dress. In less than a year, I've added several dresses to my wardrobe. As I wore dresses more and more, I became more accustomed to the feeling of femininity, flowiness and lightness, and I realized that I didn't really like wearing sportswear that much. Thanks to Tang Xin's praise and recognition, I gradually got rid of my lack of confidence in my appearance. Looking back now, if I hadn't dressed appropriately for the interview, I am afraid I wouldn't have had the courage to look directly at the examiners, let alone respond to their questions.
A week before the graduation ceremony, I received two induction notices. I was so excited that I immediately posted the good news to the circle of friends, and soon received an overwhelming amount of congratulations, as well as a message from Tang Xin asking me to treat me. That night, I asked Tang Xin to dinner at a restaurant near the school and told her about my decision. I thought it would take a lot of effort to explain to Tang Xin that the reason why I chose the job with half the salary was because it had a better working environment, better development prospects, and more importantly, it provided free staff dormitories.
"There are people in the so-called court who are good at doing things and work hard, maybe the senior brother will promote you soon." Tang Xin said with a grin.
"Senior brother is a very upright person, so he can't give me special attention...... Moreover, he is notoriously demanding of his subordinates...... In my opinion, he may be even more strict with me...... "The thought that I will soon be working under the nose of my senior brother makes me feel a little withdrawn.
"Sounds reasonable...... Forget it, don't think about it, so as not to trouble yourself...... Today is here to celebrate your job, and you should be happy...... Why don't we have another dessert? After speaking, Tang Xin waved his hand at the waiter.
I glanced at the slender Tang Xin, and sighed in my heart for the injustice of God. "You eat, I'll forget it......"
Before parting, Tang Xin told me that the city's symphony orchestra had approved her job application, in other words, she had successfully become a musician.
I was both delighted and moved to learn that Tang Xin had realized his dream for many years, and I couldn't find the right words to express my deep blessings to Tang Xin for a while. "Musician...... Sounds amazing...... Will I ever see you again? ”
"Then it depends on whether your sincerity is enough......" Tang Xin pulled his hair proudly, and finally couldn't help laughing.
On the day I went to the publishing house to report, the personnel lady enthusiastically handed me the key to the dormitory early. The dormitory is not far from the publishing house, about a 20-minute walk. Fortunately, I was assigned a balcony facing the large garden downstairs in one bedroom and one living room, the ventilation and lighting are very good, except for the electrical furniture decoration is slightly old, everything is so impeccable. In order to vacate the dormitory as soon as possible for the incoming freshmen, I set the move date for the end of June. After a week of round-the-clock tidying, I finally finished packing my belongings and cleaned the dormitory. Since Tang Xin insisted on letting her dad and uncle drive me to move for me, I saved a sum of money on the cost of renting a car. I thought the moving service would be a congratulatory gift from her, but I didn't expect the real gift to arrive before us.
"How? Do you like it? ”
Looking at the burgundy velvet sofa that Tang Xin gave me, I was speechless in surprise.
"I picked it myself, how about it, it's pretty, right? Oh yes, and it also has a small table where you can lie down and write. Tang Xin pressed me to the sofa and introduced, looking very proud.
"Thank you......" The soft touch of the sofa made me feel warm and happy, and before I knew it, I choked up.
"What's polite...... Dad, uncle, move it to the room. Tang Xin smiled shyly, and then began to command her father and uncle again.
"Why did you move to a room?" Tang Xin's father asked with a look of astonishment.
"The room is small, it's not suitable to put it......" Tang Xin's uncle scratched his head and agreed.
"The sofa was bought for Yin Ran, of course it has to be put into the room!" Tang Xin replied confidently.
Hearing this, the two glanced at each other helplessly, and then stuffed the sofa into the room according to Tang Xin's wishes.
Although it is only a temporary residence, it does not detract from the joy of setting up a new home. There is still about half a month before I officially join the company, and I take advantage of this free time to go to the mall or supermarket every day to buy small household appliances and various daily necessities. In order to add warmth to the house, I replaced the curtains of the whole house with my favorite color, and then bought a small coffee table under the persuasion of Tang Xin. To my surprise, these small changes were enough to give the house a new look. Decorating your new home is tiring but fun enough to end. Luckily, it's all up to me, and I can make adjustments to my heart whenever I want.
Once I settled in, I was excited to send out a message inviting friends and family to my new home. I deliberately postponed the other gatherings so that my parents would be the first to see the fruits of my efforts. However, they didn't care about the order of invitations, and they weren't even interested in the layout of the house. At the end of the meal, they didn't say anything other than expressing dissatisfaction with a table of takeaways. Before leaving, my mother handed me a bag of old clothes that she had brought from home, saying that the clothes were still wearable and that I should not waste them. I silently accepted the heavy bag of clothes, but I felt that my nose was sour, and my heart was very uncomfortable. With the arrival of Tang Xin, my senior brother and my senior sisters, my mood became happy. My brothers and sisters pooled their money to give me a bottle of in-room aromatherapy, the main note is fresh lily of the valley, and the smell is very elegant and pleasant. Later, I learned that my sister had brought me back from abroad. On the last day of the party, I was greeted by my classmates, who gave me a gift of a full box of cutlery sets. Looking at the two male classmates who claimed to be sturdy and carried this box of porcelain together, they were still so tired that they couldn't breathe, and the others smiled unkindly.
In this way, surrounded by laughter and laughter, I spent the last summer vacation of my life and officially entered the working life.
