Chapter 5: Lingzun

After graduating from college, Lin Li began his "hard life". According to his university major, he successfully found a company to work as a salesman, fortunately, his three-month internship period performed very well and successfully became a regular worker. Lin Li's eyes kept looking around, as if the people around him did not exist, although the streets of the city were very noisy, but the two of them fell into a kind of silence.

"Hey, long time no see." Beside him, a crisp voice broke the silence.

"Well, long time no see." Lin Li smiled slightly, turned his face, glanced at his excellent face, and said softly.

The girl's name is Li Xuanyao, just like her name, which makes people look at it, and even whisper in a dream.

Speaking of which, she and Lin Li were not classmates, but girls who met at a party, and Lin Li was still confident and arrogant at that time.

"I didn't expect us to actually meet again?" Li Xuan's big eyes were bent into crescents, her long eyelashes lazily closed her eyelids, and her cherry-like mouth rose slightly.

Seeing this, Lin Li looked stunned, and then returned to normal.

"Yes, when you left school, you said you wouldn't come back here." Lin Li paused slightly, bent down and gently wiped the dust on the surface of his feet.

"You've changed a lot." The girl's eyes widened, looking straight into Lin Li's face.

"Heh, I was still too naΓ―ve before, but after really experiencing social baptism, it is natural to change." Lin Li smiled bitterly.

"Giggles......

Li Xuanyao suddenly laughed inexplicably, I don't know if it was Lin Li's words that amused her, and she even bent down when she laughed.

Lin Li's face turned red instantly, and he even stopped walking in his footsteps.

"Hello Lin Li, my name is Li Xuanyao, please take care of me for future cooperation."

After laughing for a while, Li Xuan straightened up, stretched out his snow-white palm, and smiled.

Lin Li was stunned for a moment, and then Mu Ne stretched out his hand and shook it with Li Xuan. Those hands are still so soft, so cold.

When Lin Li came to "meet", he found that there were surprisingly few people in the store today.

"Business is very quiet today." Lin Li put down his bag and sat down at the bar.

"How can it be so popular every day, if that's the case, I'll have sent it early." Zhang Ping'an handed Lin Li a glass of water and gave him a blank look. "What about you? Why is it so early today. ”

"The company has a new arrangement, and I'm just doing it for others now." Lin Li took a sip of water and said casually.

"Yo, Mr. Lin's tone is very sour." Zhang Ping'an couldn't help but tease.

"What do I have to be sour, if I do it, I can be much easier."

"Ouch, this is not what the arrogant and arrogant Mr. Lin can say!"

"Shut up!"

"Hello, welcome, have a drink." Zhang Ping'an was about to continue ridiculing when he saw someone pushing open the door of the store and hurriedly said.

"Why are you here?" Lin Li took a cup of water and said in surprise.

walked in and met Li Xuanyao, who had just been separated on the street.

"I live around here, and when I saw a new store here, I came in and had a look." Li Xuanyao also walked to the bar and sat down. "A cappuccino, thank you."

Zhang Ping'an glanced between the two, and then turned to work.

"This shop is good, do you live around here?" Li Xuanyao looked around, and then asked as if very casually.

"Oh no, I live on Linyi Road."

"Then you are so far away, you came here just to drink a glass of boiled water." Li Xuan pointed to the water cup on the bar.

"Oh, no, he's my roommate at college, I'm just coming over to have a look." Lin Li picked up the water glass, and then looked at Zhang Ping'an.

"Oh, that's right."

"Beauty, long waiting, your cappuccino." At this time, Zhang Ping'an sealed the cappuccino and handed it to Li Xuan.

Li Xuanyao took it and was about to pay.

"Huh? Seeing each other is fate, not to mention that you are so beautiful, are you not worthy of a little cappuccino? This cup, count me in. Zhang Ping'an hurriedly waved his hand.

"Well, thank you, see you next time." Li Xuanyao glanced at Lin Li meaningfully, then pushed the door and left.

"Wow, Xiao Lizi, I silently hooked up with such a beautiful girl." When Li Xuanyao disappeared behind the door of the store, Zhang Ping'an patted Lin Li's shoulder hard, so frightened that he even choked on drinking water.

"What are you doing, what hookup?" Lin Li put down the cup, took out a tissue, and wiped his mouth.

"Hurry up, give me an explanation."

"You didn't recognize her?"

"Huh?" Zhang Ping'an was a bit of a second monk and couldn't figure his head.

"Do you still remember when you were a freshman, when our literary club and the calligraphy and painting club were fraternizing? She was the one who went on stage to dance 'Farewell My Concubine', and you said at the time that you would go backstage to ask for her contact information when it was over. ”

Zhang Ping'an frowned slightly, tilted his head, and gradually fell into reminiscence.

Picked up the phone, glanced at the greeting sent by my mother, my nose was unconsciously sore, and I replied "It's good", and then threw the phone away, and fell asleep lying like this. After graduating from college, Lin Li began his "hard life". According to his university major, he successfully found a company to work as a salesman, fortunately, his three-month internship period performed very well and successfully became a regular worker.

When he was in college, he always thought that with his talent and talent, he should be the talent that various companies rushed to get after graduation, but the reality slapped him hard and completely destroyed his inexplicable self-confidence. Every day, he is like a wooden machine, running back and forth in the market, promoting the company's new products, but he runs into walls everywhere.

This can be said to be a big blow to the new workplace. But fortunately, although he is sometimes conceited, he has a lot of perseverance.

Dragging his exhausted body, he cleaned up his mood and walked into the next company.

An hour later, Lin Li walked out of the company in a dejected manner, took a deep breath, looked at the time, and walked towards the bus stop.

I met, it was one of the best brothers in Lin Li's college years, Zhang Ping'an, who opened a bubble tea shop, and his brother was very lucky and very smart. When I was in college, I began to prepare to open a store, pick the terrain, buy ingredients, and raise funds, and just after graduation, I opened it.

This entrepreneurship can be said to be very successful, only more than three months from graduation, Zhang Ping'an's store began to make a profit, although he is busy every day, but earning money, even if he is tired, at least he is very happy.

Pushing open the door, Lin Li saw a queue of people, and it just so happened that Zhang Ping'an saw Lin Li.

"Xiao Lizi, here, come and help, hurry up."

Lin Li put down his bag, rolled up his sleeves, and walked in.

"What's the matter, it didn't work out today?" Zhang Ping'an handed a cup of milk tea to a customer, and then asked.

"Alas, how can it be so easy, it's really ideal plump, realistic skinny." Lin Li shook his head helplessly.

"I said a long time ago, let you open a store with me, you are biased."

"The two of us have different ideas, besides, I didn't prepare like you during college, and my mother won't give me money to invest." Lin Li took a cup of cappuccino and handed it to the customer.

"Look at you, I asked you to work for me, and I won't lose you, and you're not willing to do it."

"Forget it, if I were working under your kid, your shop would have collapsed a long time ago."

"You......" Zhang Ping'an smiled helplessly, and then stopped talking.

The two of them were in this busyness, and it was soon noon. Gradually, fewer customers are frequenting, and the store is less busy. Lin Li picked up his backpack, turned around and walked out.

"Hey, Xiao Lizi, I ordered takeout, let's go after eating!" Seeing this, Zhang Ping'an hurriedly said.

"No, I'll run the market again, and if I don't launch this product, this month's achievements will be gone." Lin Li waved his hand and left.

"Alas......" Zhang Ping'an wiped the table with a rag and couldn't help sighing.

October, too, is very hot for the city. Squinting his eyes, he raised his head to look at the scorching sun in the sky, Lin Li carried the bag on his shoulder, and started his "road to the wall" again.

"Hello Manager Chen, I am the salesman of 'Tianjing', my name is Lin Li. Our company has a new product, it is of great help to our daily life, and its design and operation are very simple, I think it should be more popular with the market, this is the information of this product, you take a look. Lin Li respectfully handed over the materials to a bloated woman.

"Lin Li, I'll call you Xiaolin. To be honest, this issue of the product, whether in use or market acceptance, should have a response, but after all, this is a new type of product, so I can't make a decision quickly, you like this, leave your contact information, if there is a certain progress, I will contact you again, okay? Manager Chen flipped through the materials, and after a moment's silence, he spoke.

"Okay, okay, then it's going to trouble Manager Chen." With a smile on his face, Lin Li left his phone number, and then walked out of the company with Manager Chen's "motherly" smile.

"Alas, it's cold again!" Lin Li smiled bitterly.

The day, in fact, passed quickly, it was already dark, Lin Li finished dinner at a noodle restaurant, dragged his tired body, and returned to his apartment.

This apartment is only about ten square meters, with a bed and a desk, which almost takes up all the space. However, for a recent college graduate like Lin Li, it is already a luxury, at least the price is still within his affordability.

Hang the backpack on the wall, lie down on the bed very comfortably, and think back to the inhuman days after graduation, and can't help but sigh.

Picked up the phone, glanced at the greeting sent by my mother, my nose was unconsciously sore, and I replied "It's good", and then threw the phone away, and fell asleep lying like this. "Sister, let me tell you, men are very dignified creatures. When a man is willing to let go of his dignity, let go of everything, to sincerely consider you, to protect you, not to allow others to touch you, no matter what you do, he will choose to forgive infinitely, it means that he really loves you...... Uh, hiccup~" Zhang Ping'an burped, lay on his side on the dining table, and said to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan covered her mouth and smiled. Lin Li's face was helpless, and he went up and gave him a kick.

"Don't make a fuss, what I said is true, if Linlin had considered this at the beginning, maybe she wouldn't have left me......" As he spoke, Zhang Ping'an picked up a bottle of beer and raised his head to drink it again.

Lin Li stood up, dragged the beer bottle, called the boss to settle the account, and then helped Zhang Ping'an to leave.

"I'll help him up first, and then I'll send you back to ...... Send you home. Downstairs in the apartment, Lin Li carried Zhang Ping'an, who was already drunk and unconscious, and turned to Li Xuan and whispered.

"Okay."

It was very "difficult" to open the door, turn on the light, and then threw Zhang Ping'an on the bed, helped him take off his coat and shoes, covered him with a quilt, and let out a sigh of relief. When he was pulling the curtains, he happened to see Li Xuan, who was wrapped in his coat downstairs, but still a little trembling, and the complicated taste in his heart germinated again.

"Long waiting!"

"It's fine." Seeing Lin Li go downstairs, Li Xuanyao's trembling body was forcibly endured, but these were all seen by Lin Li.

Waving, a taxi stopped.

In the car, Li Xuanyao wrapped her coat tightly again, the two were silent, and the taxi driver glanced at the two through the reflector and smiled.

"Young man, it's okay for two people to have a little contradiction together, man, admit your mistake, won't the problem be solved? A cold war with each other can't solve any problems, and in the end you can only miss it. "The driver is in his early forties, such a mature man, and his eyes are full of stories." When my mother-in-law left, if I had confessed my mistake and kept it, I wouldn't have been like this now, alas! ”

Lin Li listened to the driver's misunderstanding, and did not explain, but looked at Li Xuanyao next to him.

"Thank you, master." Lin Li got out of the car and thanked him politely.

"It's okay, young man, don't leave regrets for yourself in the future." The master shook his head and drove the car away.

"I'm here, thank you." Li Xuanyao handed the coat to Lin Li and said softly.

"Well, good night!"

"Lin Li!" Just as Lin Li was about to turn around and leave, Li Xuan's voice came from behind.

"What's wrong?"

"At that time...... I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay, it's all in the past, living in the present, isn't it?" Lin Li turned around and said softly.

"Live in the moment?" Li Xuan's eyes fluttered. "Let's get acquainted again, okay?"

……

Sitting on the side of the road, the dim light shone on Lin Li's body, pulling out a long shadow. Lin Li exhaled a puff of smoke, and his mood was complicated.

"Back in time? Maybe I can't go back! Lin Li muttered to himself. Actually, I never blamed you! It's just that once the mustard is born in the heart, can it still be eliminated? ”

"Li Xuan, why did you fool Lao Tzu at the beginning, but why didn't Lao Tzu blame you in his heart?"

In the silence of the streets, the voices of the forest echo all around.

On a late autumn night, it is extremely cold, and people in the city who have been busy all day have fallen asleep peacefully. Dreams, or beauty, or evil, or joy, or sadness...... On the camphor tree on the side of the road, the withered leaves fell lightly to the ground, and with the autumn wind blowing, gradually drifting away, drifting away.
