Father Lin: "Shut it down, young. Xiaojuan returned to Qingdao after graduation. She cried for more than two months because of this little Sao'er. She finally stabilized herself, quit her job and came to Shenzhen to find him. This is great.

It's not a good idea to play with each other. I'll tell Xiaogou about buying a house first, and then set a time for him to complete it. If he can really complete it, it's not impossible to give him the money. If he can't complete it, we..."

After hearing this, I hung up the phone.

I really want to continue eavesdropping, regardless of moral quality, but I am more worried about hearing some bad remarks that will ruin the impression of Father Lin and Mother Lin in my heart.

Just like you have a crush on someone and you want to know all the news about her, but you are more worried about hearing others say that she suddenly has a sweetheart.

Some things, once known, can never be taken back.

I lay on the bed and looked up at the yellowed ceiling. The fluorescent tubes emitted dazzling white light.

I closed my eyes again and thought, what should I do if I can't fulfill the request made by Xiaojuan's parents?

I suddenly felt that my plan for marriage was not clear. I didn’t seem to have a strong desire to get married and marry Lin Xiaojuan. Did I not love her enough?

Otherwise, why would I be willing to break up with her after graduating from college? Otherwise, why would I be able to forget about everything after graduation? Otherwise, why would she go to work? I always subconsciously thought that someone would eventually pursue her.

Why do I think it's logical and calm even when the director of her company named Lin pursues her?

When I say I want to buy a house and get married, is it because of male pride or because I am afraid of losing her?

Suddenly I felt very confused. It was the first time in my life that I was confused.

I didn't even think too much about where I would go after graduating from college. Instead of worrying about the pain, I would just be happy and happy, so I listened to the fortune teller and came to the south.

Growing up, my parents made many decisions for me. When I was in high school, I was no longer with my parents, and my self-awareness began to inflate. When I waited for the college entrance examination, my parents' education level was not high, and there were so many teachers who couldn't take care of the students. I filled out my application based on my intuition.

After four years in college, it seemed that too much time was wasted and not much was learned.

The little things I learned in college were not of much use after I entered the society. I had two jobs in a row, and neither of them matched my major.

To quote what my mother once scolded me for, I am a graduate with a bachelor’s degree who is actually doing the job of making phone calls to lie to people, and now I am pretending to stand on the stage and teach others...

The man has ambitions in all directions, I am in all directions, and Lin Xiaojuan is also chasing me. What should I do?

When a man starts a family, should he start a family first or start a career first?

The huge room seemed empty. Who should I talk to about these thoughts? My mother who doesn’t know a few Chinese characters, Lin Xiaojuan who is now with her parents and full of hope for the future, or someone chatting in the group.

classmates?

Neither seems to work.

In the journey of life, there are always some things that people cannot communicate with their loved ones, at least at certain stages, they will feel this way.

Loneliness suddenly hit me. I was thinking wildly and fell asleep without realizing it. When I woke up, I found that the light in the room had been turned off at some point. My mother must have turned it off. I touched my side and found my mobile phone.

After pressing it a few times, I found that the battery was exhausted and there was no response.

After charging and turning on the phone, there was a text message from Lin Xiaojuan on the phone.

"Turn off your phone. Are you asleep?"

In the QQ message, she also sent such a message.

I looked at the time and it was already past three in the morning.

The screen of my phone hurt my eyes, so I replied to Lin Xiaojuan’s text message.

"I lay on the bed and fell asleep. My phone is out of battery. It's charging now. If you see the message, call me."

After sending the message, I felt very lonely, and couldn't help but think of Liu Zongyuan's Jiang Xue.

Thousands of mountains and birds fly away,

Thousands of people have been wiped out.

Lonely boat and coir raincoat,

Fishing alone in the snow in the cold river.

When my mind cleared up, I suddenly realized that this was an acrostic poem. Never be lonely!

I lay in bed alone and thought about it for a long time before falling asleep again.

I woke up early the next day and the first thing I did was call Lin Xiaojuan. She answered the phone in a daze.

"Juanjuan, little fool, get up, the organization has a new task."

"Hmm~~What mission?"

"I thought about it, how about we all take a few days off to accompany your parents to explore Shenzhen?"

"Okay, I have this idea too."

"I just have classes these days. I don't know if Mr. Shen will agree to my request for leave. I'll come over to your place first."

Lin Xiaojuan lowered her voice: "I'm afraid you're confused. If you come so early, you might be in trouble."

Me: "Why are you wearing a gang?"

Lin Xiaojuan: "I said you went back to the company dormitory. It's only after six o'clock, and you're here?"

It seems to me that too much can easily cause problems.

"Then just wait until I ask for leave from the boss around eight o'clock and then call you. You can also call your guy named Lin to ask for leave."

"good."

I stayed in bed for a while.

No matter how poor I am, I like to wake up and stay in bed for a while.

At around seven o'clock, I sent a text message to Mr. Shen. I asked him early and explained the situation, hoping to take a few days off.

Mr. Shen called me back directly and said on the other end of the phone what a coincidence. Not only did you have several classes to teach before, but two more training sessions were scheduled for yesterday afternoon. Everyone’s tasks are even heavier. Your team members’ classes are yours. I also have to help keep an eye on it.

I said to Mr. Shen, the prospective parents-in-law are here, and it concerns the prosperity of my Gou family, so don’t arrange for me to give lectures. Besides, socialist construction cannot make me a single person, right?

Mr. Shen said that socialism must be built, but I am a capitalist. If capitalists do not exploit you, how can you still be called a capitalist? Without capital, you will not be happy to see your parents-in-law.

I said, Mr. Shen, if you don’t finish the lecture, can I spend the rest of the time with my girlfriend and her family?

After a few seconds, Mr. Shen said, "You come to the company first, and we will see how we arrange it. Come to work quickly. If you don't make money, you can do shit!"

I called Lin Xiaojuan again to explain the situation, then ate the breakfast made by my mother and hurried out.

Before going out, my mother kept saying, "Why am I so unaccustomed to Xiaojuan's absence for a whole day?"

When we arrived at the company, we spontaneously held a morning meeting, and Mr. Shen arrived late.

Mr. Shen called our lecturers into the conference room again, held a morning meeting again, and announced two pieces of information.

The first one is that there will be a lot of classes in the last three to five days, so everyone should work hard and don’t ask for leave if you have nothing to do. After saying this, he also specifically mentioned that, of course, if Teacher Gou needs to meet the girl’s parents, she can consider it as appropriate.

The second piece of news is that no one from the Lecture Department Manager took the initiative to sign up, but yesterday afternoon Teacher Gou came to me and said that he would work hard. I also said that as long as he works hard, the Lecture Department Manager will be for him.

Everyone glanced at each other, their eyes more or less passing across my face.

I quickly said, Mr. Shen, we are all your soldiers, you can't favor one over the other. No one has signed up, so why are you being recruited by me?

I thought to myself, there must be a reason why these old-timers refused to accept the responsibility. I was not in the company yesterday afternoon, so I might not know what happened, but I couldn’t cause trouble for myself.

Mr. Shen said that we will discuss this matter later. In addition to the two items just mentioned, there is another piece of news announced today, that is, our company will have a new leader, Mr. Cheng. She is a beautiful sister. She In charge of the marketing department and business department, our lecturer department will be independent, with a lecturer department manager, and 4 more teams below.

Everyone started discussing it.

Mr. Shen said, okay, okay, since you all don’t want to be managers anyway, then I’ll let you be the team leaders and see if you can hide your shit.

Then he picked up the big tea cup reserved for leaders and walked out of the conference room.

After everyone dispersed, I went to the toilet and ran to Mr. Shen’s office.

Finance Ayue is checking some things on the books in General Shen's office.

Mr. Shen asked me to sit down first and it would only take a few minutes.

After checking, Mr. Shen moved to the coffee table. Ah Yue was still fiddling with something at the computer desk.

Mr. Shen began to fill the teapot in the Kung Fu tea set on the coffee table.

I said, Mr. Shen, there is no need to make tea, I just asked for leave, everything else is fine.

Mr. Shen said, hey, you take your time in everything, why don’t you drink tea when you take leave? It’s just tea, it’s not a Hongmen Banquet.

I said, drink, drink, dear Mr. Shen, I listen to you, as long as the leader allows me to take leave.

Mr. Shen said, "In this case, you can finish teaching your own class and don't bother with the team members' classes. Is that okay?"

The reason why Mr. Shen spoke to me in a consultative tone was mainly because of the particularity of the position of lecturer in our company. The contract we signed was a cooperation agreement, not a labor-employment relationship. The lecture fees were also paid on the same day. It was refreshing, but it also had some shortcomings. For example, lecturers have high turnover, but they are also good for the company. When there are many disputes, the company's interests can be protected.

I said, OK, thank you very much, Mr. Shen, this is also the most appropriate plan.

The tea boiled quickly. Mr. Shen scalded the tea cup and started to boil the second pot of water.

"Xiao Gou, you've seen this Kung Fu tea so many times and you know how to make it. Come on, come on, you can make it today."

I couldn't resist, so I followed Mr. Shen's usual method of making tea and started to operate.

"Mr. Shen, in addition to asking for leave, I also have something in my heart that I would like to ask for advice. Is that okay?"

Mr. Shen guided me on how to operate it, saying, "If you don't say anything about it, how will I know if it will work?"
