"Hey, people are talking to you."

Liao Ying saw that something was wrong with Li Ji's actions today, and hurriedly reached out and pulled him.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm distracted......"

Li Ji awkwardly withdrew his hand and rubbed it twice on his knee.

At this moment, a guest over there finished eating, and the clerk cleaned up the table and came to call Li Ji and them over.

Li Jiru was amnesty, greeted Han Mei, then picked up Liao Ying and hurriedly walked away.

Han Mei stood there, looked at the backs of the two, bit her lip, and suddenly said to Tao Shanming, "Don't eat, go!" ”

Tao Shanming looked confused, saw that Han Mei had walked out of the door, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed out.

Across a few tables of guests, Li Ji looked at Han Mei from a distance. Seeing her leave suddenly, she was a little surprised, stood up suddenly, opened her mouth, and quickly sat down again.

"Look at you, the soul is gone?"

Liao Ying was a little angry when she saw Li Ji's appearance.

Li Ji looked at Liao Ying and smiled, a little at a loss.

......

After meeting Han Mei that night, Li Ji didn't call Han Mei, and Han Mei didn't contact Li Ji.

The two seemed to have discussed it, disappeared, and walked out of each other's world at the same time.

Li Ji also lost all the miscellaneous thoughts in his heart, he was dead and honest.

Every day at work, after work, shopping, reading idle books, listening to music. Occasionally, when the mood comes, I find a guitar, play a few campus ballads, and reminisce about the time that has passed.

The days returned to their long-lost peace.

After work that day, Li Ji went to Marriott Jingyuan.

For a while, because of the mess, he didn't bother to go up and see Old Man Wan.

Wan Daming was very happy to see Li Ji and stayed with Li Ji for dinner. Hearing Li Ji say that he went to the branch as the vice president, Wan Daming was very happy and drank a few more glasses.

Marriott is out of the woods for the time being. It's just that the group still has a lot of things that he needs to ask in person, and Wan Daming is still busy every day.

Both of them deliberately avoided Wancheng's death, and neither mentioned the matter of Marriott Trading Company.

Li Ji saw that the old man had lost a lot of weight, and his hair had become whiter, and he felt a little sad in his heart. I was even more embarrassed to tell Wan Daming about my own little things.

After eating and sitting for a while, Li Ji took his leave.

The lights are on.

The weather is getting a little cooler, and the trees on the street are starting to have yellow leaves.

Li Ji walked leisurely along the green brick street.

The peaceful days made him feel a lot more at ease, but he was also a little lonely and boring. There was always some restless thought in his heart, which occasionally made him both excited and nervous.

Passing by a small newsstand with quite a few newly published magazines.

Li Ji stopped and looked at it with interest.

The owner was an old man in his sixties, wearing reading glasses and his hair was completely white. He was sitting in a narrow pavilion, looking intently at a copy of "The Beginning of Man".

Li Ji bought a copy of "Football World", a copy of "Football Club", and a copy of "Audio World".

He paid the money and was about to leave, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the "Quancheng Evening News" in the corner.

It's like suddenly seeing an old friend on the street in a foreign land who I haven't seen for many years, which suddenly reminds Li Ji of his memories in college.

He took out another money and bought a copy of the "Quancheng Evening News".

Li Ji put a few magazines in his bag and walked slowly with newspapers in his hand.

Standing on the side of the road, I flipped over casually by the street lights. When his eyes fell on the last page, Li Ji's heart jumped wildly.

The whole page is the recruitment announcement of Fengcheng Rural Credit Cooperative.

Li Ji's hands trembled.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath; After a while, he slowly opened his eyes again.

That's right, this is indeed the recruitment announcement of the Rural Credit Cooperatives that Han Mei said.

In a large number of job postings, Li Ji saw the position at a glance: general manager of the credit management department of the headquarters.

His heart seemed to beat uncontrollably, and his face felt like it was being roasted by fire.

Li Ji read it word by word, and read it twice in succession, before carefully folding the newspaper, putting it in his bag, and stopping a taxi on the road.

The newspaper was the day before yesterday.

Li Ji was a little hesitant.

To sign up, or not to sign up. That's a problem.

He thought about it, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

Han Mei doesn't have to think about it at all now, and there is no hope at all.

His role as a "fake son-in-law" ends here. If you want to participate in recruitment, you can only rely on your own ability.

can just go into battle single-handedly and bare-handed, even if you do well in the exam, you will inevitably be "unspoken rules" in the end.

After trying to toss for a long time, in the end it may just be "accompanying the prince to study", acting as a poor denominator.

Li Ji thought about it for several days, but he was still unwilling to give up.

"Go try."

In the bottom of my heart, there seemed to be a voice saying to Li Ji.

On the last day of the recruitment registration deadline, Li Ji finally made a decision.

He found an excuse and secretly went to the credit union.

In the hall on the first floor, looking at the still crowded registration site, Li Ji's confidence that he had been aiming for before he came suddenly deflated like a balloon.

It seems that there must be quite a few people participating in the recruitment.

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men.

The registration has come to an end, and there are still so many people. Presumably, the salary that is several times higher than that of ordinary banks must be very tempting.

Li Ji stood by and watched for a while, and for a moment he really planned to give up. But when he walked to the door, he still hesitated and walked back.

When the reception staff saw off the last applicant, sorted out the materials on the table, and was about to drink saliva and relax, Li Ji rushed up.

In the somewhat surprised eyes of several people, Li Ji quickly filled out the form and handed it to the baby-faced, short-haired middle-aged woman.

He let out a long breath, as if he had completed a great event that he had been looking forward to for a long time, and there was a sense of relief and relief.

But a moment later, a faint sense of loss and inexplicable panic struck his whole body. Li Ji grabbed his hair vigorously, looking a little depressed.

The men packed up their papers, and a couple of security guards came over and carried the table away. The hall suddenly became empty.

Li Ji was stunned and found that a security guard next to him was looking at him with some curiosity. Li Ji suddenly woke up: I can't stand here anymore, it's time to go.

He smiled embarrassedly at the security guard, turned around, and walked towards the revolving door.

Just a few steps away, the door of an elevator not far away suddenly opened, and a young woman with a good figure walked out.

Li Ji glanced at it inadvertently, shrunk his neck in fright, turned around and walked back.

When the security guard saw Li Ji going and returning, he was still panicked, and he felt even more strange. He stepped forward and asked Li Ji very politely, "Sir, do you want to help?" ”

Li Ji glanced back nervously as he looked around. Fortunately, the woman did not pay attention to him, and did not go this way, but walked towards the door.

Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief, looked up to meet the security guard's eyes like seeing a thief, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "I...... No, excuse me, where's the bathroom? ”

The security guard looked at Li Ji with a puzzled face, paused, and then pointed to the other side of the hall: "It's over there." You turn around and keep walking......"

"Thank you! Thank you! ”

Li Ji said in a loud voice and ran over.

The security guard was stunned, looked at Li Ji's back and disappeared, and suddenly muttered: "Cao, this person is sick." ”

Li Ji didn't care about the security guard's ridicule at this time. It wasn't until he walked into the bathroom that his heartbeat slowed.

Li Ji stood in front of the mirror and looked at it, and found that his face was very bad. Dark circles are visible under the eyes, and hair is noticeably longer.

He sighed.

Fortunately, I didn't face Han Mei in the hall just now. Otherwise, how embarrassing it would be. At least in my own opinion, a bit of a price drop.

People are kind and want to help you, but you righteously refuse, but you secretly come to sign up afterwards, what's going on?

Four or five minutes later, Li Ji came out of the bathroom. There was no one in the hall except for a few security guards.

Li Ji tugged at his shirt, reached out to comb his hair, straightened his waist, and walked over casually.

Going out and walking down the high steps, Li Ji looked back at the building of the Rural Credit Cooperative.

Don't look at the rural credit cooperatives as local financial institutions, but this office building is really magnificent.

By contrast, the buildings of several state-owned banks look shabby.

No matter what temple, what monks are in the temple, if they have money, and dare to spend money, they are good abbots.

It's not bad to be able to work in a rural credit cooperative.

At this moment, Li Ji's heart was warm again. It was as if I had seen myself sitting in the office building of the Rural Credit Cooperative, condescending, spacious and bright, and full of energy.

If only Han Mei's father was willing to help.

Somehow, this thought that made him feel ashamed came to Li Ji's mind again.

It's really useless, Li Ji scolded himself secretly. He glanced at it with some wistfulness, then turned and walked towards the road.

The sun had gone down, and the last golden afterglow was still hanging in the sky.

In front of the door stood two large stone lions, each more than two people tall. In the darkening sky, the lion shook its head and tail, opened its teeth and danced its claws, and was ready to pounce, lifelike.

Li Ji stood in front of him and looked at it two more times before he lowered his head and walked forward with a heavy heart.

He walked to the side of the street, looked across the street, and was about to reach out to stop the car.

Suddenly, Li Ji's hand stopped; One made a sharp turn and sprinted backwards, hiding behind a stone lion.

He stuck his head out and looked quietly over there.

Less than a hundred meters away, next to an off-road vehicle on the side of the street, Han Mei was talking to a man with her back on her back.

At this time, the sky was still bright.

Li Ji has a one-point five-point vision in both eyes, and he can see clearly.

Although the man was half-covered by Han Mei's body, from his body shape and the way he spoke, Li Ji still recognized him as Tao Shanming.

Damn, it's hot so quickly.

The sour grapes in Li Ji's heart began to grow leaves.

He really wasn't jealous, and he never wanted Han Mei to be his girlfriend. However, in Li Ji's opinion, Han Mei can find anyone to be her boyfriend, but it can't be Tao Shanming.

can't talk about "the hatred of killing his father" and "the hatred of taking his wife", but as soon as Li Ji thought of Tao Shanming, he hated it so much that he had a toothache. I want to knock him down on the road with one punch and stomp on him a few more times.

There is also a doubt that has always haunted Li Ji's heart: Is the man in Wang Shulan's office that day Tao Shanming?

Li Ji was not very sure. But close your eyes, think about the man's voice, and then reflect on Tao Shanming's words, it is really the same person.

Li Jizheng was thinking wildly, but when he heard Han Mei over there suddenly say something, he turned around and strode towards this side.

Li Ji was taken aback. In embarrassment, he didn't have time to think more, so he rushed out from behind the stone lion, followed the street, and rushed away in the opposite direction.

Han Mei was angrily walking back when she suddenly saw someone jump out from behind a stone lion and run to the other side.

Han Mei was also startled, looked at the back of that person, pursed her lips, and scolded hatefully: "What's the matter with this person?" Neurotic! ”

As she spoke, Han Mei walked towards the office building.

Suddenly, her mind moved, and she stopped abruptly, and turned her head sharply, her eyes searching in the direction the man had run.

The street was sparsely populated, and the figure of the man had long since shrunk into a blur, fading away, and finally becoming a black dot in the field of vision.

Han Mei was stunned for a moment, feeling a little strange in her heart.

The man's back was a little ..... It's a little cooked.

It's kind of cooked, really.
