Zhou Yuan received a message from Cao Zheng, a blind date, the next day, and the other party booked a restaurant to meet, and the time was about Sunday.

There is no need to work overtime on Sunday, and Zhou Yuan feels that time is okay, even if she doesn't want to eat this meal at all.

For her, meeting Cao Zheng is a complete waste of time, but she always has to give Zhou's mother an explanation, Zhou Yuan knows that even if she refuses this time, there will be a next time, so Zhou Yuan replied to the other party in the dialog box with a cold face and expressionless: Okay.

Winter and spring are intertwined, and there was a rain just last night, and the rain washed the sky in early March to an endless blue, and the air was mixed with the fragrance of earth and grass.

Such good weather is suitable for picnics with three or five friends, suitable for excursions, in short, suitable for all activities that have nothing to do with work.

But Zhou Yuan has no second choice except to go to work, especially when Women's Day is approaching, and the community has a series of activities ready to carry out, and she has been working overtime for two consecutive days.

Zhou Yuan looked at the computer to polish the PPT of the event planning on March 8th, the owners of Tangding International are either rich or expensive, each owner has their own social circle, for the owners participating in the event, this is not only a Women's Day event organized by the community, but also a social occasion for them to maintain their personal relationships with each other.

In addition to free physical examinations and popular science lectures, Zhou Yuan also proposed to add some flower arrangement, dessert baking and other links that are more popular with women, and her proposal was affirmed by the director.

The planning case was rushed out by Zhou Yuan and Lin Yi who stayed up all night, Zhou Yuan stared at the computer for a long time, and her eyes were dry and sore.

"Shhhh

Zhou Yuan suddenly gasped, not because of his sore eyes, but because of the sudden discomfort in his stomach.

She gently pressed and rubbed her stomach, stayed up late and had irregular work and rest, she hadn't eaten well in the past two or three days, and her stomach had some dull pain.

This is her old problem, as soon as the mid-term and final exam week is due in college, it is like this, and the time when you are preparing for the graduate school entrance examination is even worse, drinking a little cold water and skipping a meal will hurt your stomach.

Zhou Yuan rubbed his stomach with his left hand, and hurriedly grabbed the thermos cup on the desk with his right hand, and poured a large mouthful of hot water.

Hot water is sometimes more effective than the medicine bought at the pharmacy for Zhou Yuan.

"Xiao Zhou, are you tired these past few days?" The director inadvertently noticed Zhou Yuan's physical discomfort, "If you're tired, go home early, you still have to be busy tomorrow." ”

It's almost seven o'clock now, it's long overdue to get off work, and it's not too early to go home.

Zhou Yuan was powerless to complain in his heart, and his face remained calm: "It's done at the end, I'll send you the final version of the PPT." ”

A few minutes later, the director received the "Women's Day Activity Final Version .pptx" from Zhou Yuan's WeChat, and after downloading it, he roughly flipped through each page, and then smiled with satisfaction at the screen.

Although this Xiao Zhou still has some student spirit at times, it can be seen that he is not sleek and sophisticated, but he is still very serious about doing things, at least the event planning of this Women's Day is very good! There are many ideas in the proposed links, and it is also in line with the general environment, the director looked at the PPT, and was already thinking about his work summary this year, which can be written into this 38th Festival activity.

It is a medicine that is three parts poisonous, Zhou Yuan doesn't like to take medicine, she drank a few sips of hot water and went home, and she didn't walk today, but called a taxi.

Zhou Yuan's driver's license was obtained after the college entrance examination, but she worked in the imperial capital after graduation, the license plate number of the imperial capital was too difficult to shake, and she didn't want to rent a car license, so she didn't buy a car, and returned to Jiangwu, Zhou's father kept asking Zhou Yuan to see what car he liked, but Zhou Yuan always felt that the three people in the family didn't use three cars, so they kept dragging it and didn't buy it.

Besides, Jiangwu's subway and bus are very convenient, and her commute to work is very close, and her colleagues ridiculed her for "walking for less than ten minutes, and not using a class", but in fact, it is the straight-line distance shown on the map, and it takes about 20 minutes for Zhou Yuan to walk to work.

Usually I don't think twenty minutes is nothing, but the time for a few songs is up.

But when I was not feeling well, I realized that it was convenient to have a car of my own.

The car I called waited for a while to arrive, and in the few minutes I waited for the car, Zhou Yuan had been thinking about what car to buy.

It's strange to say, I feel uncomfortable in the office, but the moment I walked out of the office, my waist was no longer sore, my eyes were not dry, and even my stomach pain disappeared silently.

When Zhou Yuan returned home, the discomfort in her stomach was completely gone.

At the dinner table, Zhou Yuan took the initiative to mention the matter of buying a car.

Before Zhou's father could speak, Zhou's mother said to Zhou Yuan: "Isn't two cars at home enough?" Besides, when you get married, I will buy you a good one, how nice it is. ”

As soon as Zhou Yuan heard Zhou's mother say the word "marriage", she felt physiologically unwell, and hurriedly said: "Don't rush, I don't have to buy a car." ”

Zhou's father is the vigorous police chief outside, but at home, he has always listened to Zhou's mother, and after eating, he called Zhou Yuan to the study and asked her what kind of car she liked.

After Zhou Yuan's stomach didn't hurt, she felt that it was not so necessary to buy a car, so she jokingly said: "I think Maserati is very good, Dad, what do you think?" ”

Father Zhou coughed lightly: "Do you think I don't look like a Maserati?" ”

Zhou Kite: ". ”

There was no settlement for the time being to buy a car, and Zhou's father transferred a sum of money to Zhou Yuan as compensation, which was called pocket money.

Zhou Yuan knew that the family's money was in Zhou's mother's hands, and it was not easy for Zhou's father to transfer so much to her.

The street lamps outside the floor-to-ceiling windows emit a warm yellow glow, and the father and daughter have a little secret in common.

***

On the day of Women's Day, Zhou Yuan arrived at the unit ten minutes earlier than usual, she was responsible for the propaganda activities organized by the grassroots grid today, Zhou Yuan rubbed her eyebrows, obviously she also had a holiday today, but she was busier than usual at work.

Before the preaching began, Zhou Yuan received a complaint from an old lady.

This old lady's surname is Wang, she is a regular guest here, her wife left early, her son and daughter-in-law are abroad, and she is alone here, and she looks very lonely.

But few people in the community pity her, first, because her family conditions are not bad, and her son and daughter-in-law are not not not coming back, she lives in Tangding International, which shows that her living standard is better than that of many old people.

The second is that the old lady really came to complain and give opinions because she was fine, and even once said, "I hope they will remove the chair at the door of the unit, because she wants to sit and don't want to move when she sees the chair, but the doctor told her to walk around more, and the chair at the door of the unit has affected her life."

This kind of nonsensical complaint request has been made more than once, and Zhou Yuan saw Mrs. Wang walk into the office again today, with no obvious expression on her face, but she has already started to have a headache in her heart.

When Mrs. Wang came, she said that it would take at least half an hour to start, and Zhou Yuan would rather write materials in this half an hour than deal with her.

Mrs. Wang saw Zhou Yuan arrive, and greeted her warmly: "Xiao Zhou, it's good that it's you, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

The corners of Zhou Yuan's mouth rose slightly, his eyes didn't work hard, and he looked very enthusiastic about smiling, but in fact, this kind of smile was not effortless.

Zhou Yuan's voice is very clear, and she always wants people to listen involuntarily: "Aunt Wang, good morning." ”

Aunt Wang talked about her classic opening statement: "I'm coming, I have something important to give you feedback......

Aunt Wang likes to break one sentence into three sentences, and she babbled for almost twenty minutes, and she didn't get to the point, but Zhou Yuan even knew who her grandson's good friend in a foreign kindergarten was.

Seeing Aunt Wang's gushing appearance, the director directly asked Zhou Yuan not to preach and help, just help Aunt Wang solve the problem with peace of mind, and patted Zhou Yuan's shoulder before leaving, as if he was saying: Thank you for your hard work.

Aunt Wang saw that Zhou Yuan was not busy, and said more interestedly, and finally Zhou Yuan finally knew Aunt Wang's appeal today, it turned out that her son's family was going to return to Jiangwu from abroad to settle down, she felt that the street lights outside their road were too dazzling, and it happened to be her little grandson's bedroom, for fear of affecting her grandson's sleep quality, after all, it would be jet lag when returning to China, and it would be bad if the child couldn't sleep all night.

Zhou Yuan never dreamed that someone would come to complain that the street lights in her community were too bright.

Zhou Yuan's eyes were scattered and looked not far away, and he vaguely saw a man in a black windbreaker, tall and thin, with broad shoulders supporting the windbreaker in a good-looking arc, what he was holding in his hands, his legs were slender, and he had walked away.

It should be to pick up the express, some couriers can not enter the community without an access control card, they will put the express in the community depository, and then sent to the owners by the special staff of the community, but some owners can't wait, they will also pick it up themselves.

Zhou Yuan's mind wandered casually and thought about these meaningless little things, and he still maintained his composure on the surface: "Aunt Wang, the brightness of the street lights in our community is within a reasonable range, and besides, your house is on the eighth floor, and the street lights are not so high." ”

Aunt Wang couldn't listen to what Zhou Yuan was saying: "I can see it as soon as I stand by the window, isn't it just outside my window?" Besides, the street lights are so high and so bright, I can't even sleep, let alone my little grandson. ”

In the end, Zhou Yuan had no choice but to tell Aunt Wang that she would give feedback to the leader, and Aunt Wang left satisfied.

The director said that Zhou Kite didn't need to preach, but Zhou Kite would visit the owner today to give the owner a gift for Women's Day.

After Aunt Wang left, Zhou Yuan glanced at the current time, there was more time than preaching, and there was no need to be in such a hurry to give gifts.

Because today is Wednesday, some of the owners are not at home, what Zhou Yuan did was to put the gifts at the door and inform them on WeChat.

This kind of progress is faster than Zhou Yuan imagined, and there is probably one last unit, Zhou Yuan continued to knock patiently on the door.

"Who?" A lady's voice came from inside the room, visibly impatient.

The door was opened, and it was a lady in a silk nightdress, who was painted with elaborate makeup, and even her curls were curled to perfection.

She held a glass of orange juice in her hand and leaned her elbows against the door casually.

Zhou Yuan showed a standard smile and repeated the words that had been said many times in the past few hours today: "Hello Ms. Wang, I am Zhou Yuan, a member of the community grid, this is a Women's Day gift prepared by the community, I wish you a happy Women's Day." ”

When Ms. Wang heard Zhou Yuan's words, she frowned obviously halfway through it, and casually glanced at the gift in Zhou Yuan's hand, which was a mini bouquet of flowers and a small gift bag, and she became even more impatient, and her voice increased significantly: "Who do you say is a woman!" I'm on Goddess Day today! ”

Zhou Yuan was startled by the lady's sudden raised voice in front of her, and even suspected that she was frightened out of auditory hallucinations, otherwise how could she hear a cat meow?

But he still patiently explained, Zhou Yuan's tone was serious: "Ms. Wang, I think we have some misunderstandings, women are not a derogatory term, and Women's Day is not what you imagined, but to celebrate the contributions and achievements made by women in the fields of politics and economy, and to give women more respect and rights." ”

Ms. Wang shook her hand impatiently: "Then why don't you just say Happy Goddess Day!" ”

Zhou Yuan couldn't say that her graduate school studied sociology, and when she studied women's rights and interests, she also specialized in the development of Women's Day, etc., and she couldn't call "Women's Day" like "Girls' Day" and "Goddess Day" in many people's mouths.

Zhou Yuan's silence became a joke in Ms. Wang's eyes, she was too old to be called a goddess.

Ms. Wang's expression darkened, "Do you also think that I am over thirty years old and old!" ”

Zhou Yuan explained: "I didn't mean that, you misunderstood. ”

"You even say exactly what he says!" Ms. Wang seemed to have been touched by some kind of ignition area, and immediately exploded, "You think I'm old, I'm a woman, right?" He also made a special gift to laugh at me! ”

Zhou Yuan secretly said in her heart that she was unlucky, there was an Aunt Wang in the morning, and another Ms. Wang in the afternoon, what happened to her today?

Ms. Wang looks like she is out of love, Zhou Yuan can't afford to provoke but can hide, ready to say goodbye to Ms. Wang.

Before the words could be spoken, there was a hint of orange sweetness in his mouth for a moment-

Not only in the mouth, but also on the tips of the hair, nose, eyes, and the whole face were covered with orange juice.

A few seconds ago, Ms. Wang couldn't control her excitement and splashed all the remaining half a cup of orange juice on Zhou Yuan's face.

The sticky orange juice was dripping downward under the action of gravity, Zhou Yuan was wearing a white sweater today, and even the sweater was not spared, and the neckline and chest of the pure white sweater instantly had orange and yellow stains.

Zhou Kite's first reaction to being splashed was not angry, but a little numb, not knowing what was going on.

After being splashed with orange juice, I was a little lucky, but fortunately it was not a reagent that could affect health with allergies and disfigurement.

In the end, he was angry, and the anger came to his chest, and even the tips of his fingers couldn't help but tremble because of anger.

She asked herself that she had a clear conscience about this job, even just now, Ms. Wang's attitude was so bad, and Zhou Yuan was even patiently explaining, and she couldn't see her impatience at all.

And what about Ms. Wang?

Just because her life is not going well, can she do whatever she wants and willful?

"I'm sorry if my hand slips." Ms. Wang opened her mouth perfunctorily, without any shame in her tone, "I'll find you some paper." ”

After saying that, he immediately turned around and closed the door.

Zhou Yuan wanted to laugh angrily, he had never seen this kind of person, and he didn't have the courage to take it when he did something wrong, so his first reaction was to run away.

Zhou Yuan had no toilet paper on her, and orange juice flowed down her neck at the tips of her hair.

Zhou Yuan lowered her head slightly, brushed the ends of her hair with her hands, and let the orange juice on her hair reach the ground as much as possible, she had never been more embarrassed than now.

Good thing no one came out from the owner next door.

Because of Zhou Yuan's lowered eyes, he could only see the ground stained with orange juice.

Suddenly, her sight was inexplicably occupied by a cute kitten, who stared at the somewhat embarrassed Zhou Kite with big eyes.

Next to the kitten, stands its owner.

Zhou Yuan subconsciously looked up slightly blankly, she didn't know him, it was a strange and somewhat inexplicable familiar man.

The man was wearing a black trench coat with white cashmere underneath, he looked very tall, and Zhou Yuan, who was 165 tall, wanted to look up at him slightly.

His Adam's apple is slightly convex, his neck is slender, his jaw is sharp and smooth, his dark eyes are deep, his nose bridge is high, his eyebrow bones are prominent, and his perfect bone appearance makes him have a bit of an ascetic temperament, looking cold and noble.

It's not in harmony with the temperament of the cute cat at his feet.

They, don't you know?

Zhou Yuan confirmed it in his mind again.

She only felt that the man in front of her was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

If Zhou Yuan knew such a perfect-looking man, she thought she wouldn't forget it.

Zhou Yuan, the owner next door, remembers that he is not a young man, is he here to find Miss Wang?

Zhou Yuan then denied it, if she was looking for Miss Wang, then she must have knocked on the door now, instead of standing in front of her.

The man's arm was slightly raised, holding a pack of unopened tissues in his hand, and the movement of raising his hand interrupted Zhou Kite's thoughts.

Zhou Yuan noticed that his fingers were distinctly jointed, his fingers were slender, and the slightly raised green tendons on the back of his hand extended upwards, with a sense of hormonal power exclusive to men.

The man in front of him spoke, his voice was clearer and lower, and there was an appropriate degree of social proportions between strangers in his speech and demeanor: "Here you go, wipe it first." ”
