Chapter 25: The White Swan
Because of illness, overnight, Lin Xi completely changed as a person.
The little princess who everyone in the Beijing circle is gone, she is like a broken doll, her eyes are empty, and she can't find a trace of pride that once belonged to her.
Lin Chen's work transfer was too sudden, and his aunt also had her own job. After discussing with their uncle, they decided to take Lin Xi to Linshi. Lin Xi's grandparents are quite strong, and they are both doctors, so they can take care of Lin Xi.
On the first day of transferring to Linshi No. 1 Middle School, Lin Xi became the center of conversation in the entire high school.
At the end of class, many people rushed to hear the news and specially leaned on the window to watch her. But I didn't see her pay attention to anyone, and her eyes never stayed for anyone, like a noble and arrogant white swan.
At first, everyone thought she was just a cold beauty who didn't like to talk, but later found that all the teachers took good care of Lin Xi, and even never asked Lin Xi by name. I don't know who spread it out first, saying that Lin Xi is a little mute.
The boy who had a good deed, in order to attract her attention and to confirm this, grabbed Lin Xi's hair from behind in the corridor between classes.
It was also on that occasion that everyone found her hearing aids hidden under her long hair.
Later, when everyone mentioned Lin Xi, they all said that she was deaf and mute.
Even though he knew that she was flawed, he couldn't hide the dazzling light on her. Even if she just sits quietly in the corner every time, the number of people who come to see her after class only increases.
At that time, some boys secretly stuffed her with love letters and small gifts, and many girls were jealous. One of the boys was particularly persistent, and he was rejected again and again, but he still didn't give up.
Later, Lin Xi was annoyed by the interruption and threw the things given by the boy in front of everyone. Because of the loss of face, the boy deliberately retaliated against her in the same way in front of others on the way out of school.
The boy took off her hearing aids and threw them in the trash.
It didn't take long for the boy to change schools. Where and why, Lin Xi didn't know at the time.
But now...... Lin Xi looked at the man at the door coldly, she knew.
——
Personnel glanced at the newcomer he had recruited, "Do you know the forest worker?" ”
The man's face was embarrassed, obviously the same as Lin Xi, remembering the unpleasant experience before.
He didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only look at Lin Xi not far away uneasily.
The latter's gaze lingered on his face for a moment, and finally slowly moved away.
The man was secretly relieved as if he were on the verge of amnesty.
Lin Xi asked personnel expressionlessly, "This is my new assistant?" ”
"Ah, yes, yes, yes." Personnel nodded, and pushed the stunned man next to him, "Don't hurry up and say hello to the forest worker." ”
"Don't look at our forestry workers as young as you, but they are high-achieving students who came back from abroad, and you can learn a lot from forestry workers in the future, so you have to cherish it!"
After listening to the words, the man did not feel happy about this, but became more nervous. At the urging of personnel, he tried to call Lin Xi: "Lin ......"
But the other party didn't give him a chance to introduce himself at all, so he turned to personnel and said, "There's nothing to do here now, you can take him to other places." ”
"Okay, okay, you're busy." Personnel hurriedly led the newcomer away.
The office door opened and closed, and the atmosphere was inexplicably much lower than before.
Chen Gong and the others glanced at each other, not knowing what was wrong.
Several of them were straight men from science and engineering, and they didn't bother to put too much thought into this matter, so they soon pulled the forest workers to discuss whether to go to the cafeteria at noon.
——
In the afternoon, Lin Xi was the only one in the office.
Chen Gong and the others went downstairs to the gym to play, she was a little tired, and came back after eating.
Sensing that there was a figure wandering at the door, Lin Xi adjusted the back of the seat, sat upright from a semi-recumbent position, and raised his voice to the door: "Come in if you have something." ”
Her voice was never very loud, and she didn't listen to any ups and downs. But the door was open, and people outside the door could still hear it.
After a long time, the door was carefully pushed open and gently closed.
"Lin Xi." The man who came in smiled flatteringly at her, "Long time no see, do you remember me?" ”
He took a few more steps forward and stood still in front of Lin Xi's desk. "I am ......"
Lin Xi raised his eyes and glanced at him, "We know each other?" ”
The man bowed, "No, I don't know." ”
"Looking for me?"
The man couldn't tell if she remembered herself for a while, so he had to give up the purpose, "This is my resume, let me show it to you." ”
Lin Xi raised his chin and motioned for him to put it on the table, "Put it here." ”
The man awkwardly withdrew his hand and put his resume down.
"That forester, forester, do you have any work to give me in the afternoon?"
"Of course." Lin Xi: "Send a cup of coffee at two o'clock." ”
The corner of the man's mouth twitched, and he endured his temper and asked, "What does Lin Gong like to drink?" ”
Lin Xi stared at him, there was no trace of temperature in his eyes, "You and your previous one should have been handed over, right?" Didn't she tell you? ”
“……”
For only a second, she retracted her gaze and said in a cold tone: "If there is nothing else, I will rest." Remember to close the door when you go out. ”
——
"Lin Gong, is this the resume of the new guy?" As soon as Chen Gong returned, he found the documents on her desk.
"Hmm."
Chen Gong casually flipped through it and looked at it, "Yo, it's still a master's degree from Haicheng University, tsk, this resume is beautifully written." ”
The others also glanced at it, "It's too curly now." If we go back a few years, we will probably have to go to the street to ask for food with this little education. ”
Chen Gong turned the chair under him, "You have to go by yourself, people must have ambition." ”
Lin Xi: "For example? "For example, if I can't get mixed up with the current meal, I must be the greatest contractor!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Lin Xi was also amused by Chen Gong's words.
"Eh, forester, what would you have done if you hadn't done this in the first place?"
"Please, you're a forester like you? People are doctors of MIT, and how many companies are rushing to ask for it. ”
"I didn't think about it." Lin Xi has always been aiming for this goal, and he has never wavered.
"You can think about it now, but if you say it, it's not true."
Turning the signature pen in his hand, Lin Xi supported his chin with one hand: "There is no such if." If I didn't have the right job, I would probably open my own company and continue to do chip research and development. ”
Everyone: "......" Is this the gap between people and people?
Lin Xi was going back to the courtyard to see his grandfather tonight, so he left work early. When I arrived at the compound, it was only five o'clock in the afternoon.
As soon as she entered the door, she heard the chatter and laughter of Lu Bei and her aunt inside.
Almost instantly, Lin Xi quickly retracted his foot into the door, turned around and was about to slip away.
