Chapter 9: Chapter 8:

Marquez also said that we tend to be on the ancient journey of life, which is

to run through ups and downs and Nirvana in frustration.

So Zheng Shuyi decided to be reborn in the embarrassment at this moment.

What happened to the plastic?

It changed the daily life of mankind and became the greatest invention. Once

again, it became the worst invention because of environmental pollution. It is

a contemporary hero, do you look down on it?

"My ancestors were poor, and life was hard at that time. As a farmer, I had

never seen anything in the world."

Although Zheng Shuyi's voice sounds emotional, there is no wave on his face

because he is not in front of Shiyan.

"Although it is a plastic product, it was already the most precious thing in

my house at that time."

"My grandma has wrapped the silk scarf in three and three layers for many

years, and she is usually reluctant to bring it out."

"After all, it is a plastic product, which is easy to break."

"I won't wear it at important moments."

After each sentence, there was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

Zheng Shuyi leaned on the sofa, his ears were so quiet that he could hear the

sound of the humidifier beside him.

The second hand of the clock moved three times, and Chen Sheng's voice rang

again on the phone.

"Miss Zheng, when do you want it?"

"The sooner the better."

"..."

"I can't sleep without seeing it."

"Then I will bring it to you?"

"Sorry to trouble you, I will get it myself."

"……understood."

I just hung up the phone and didn't say anything.

After a few minutes, Zheng Shuyi received a text message containing a string

of addresses.

She stared at those words for a long while-Bogang Yunwan, it was indeed the

Bogang Yunwan she knew.

Based on her knowledge of the housing price of this place, it is absolutely

impossible to be the residence of Assistant Chen Sheng.

Then...

Zheng Shuyi turned over and jumped up and rushed into the bedroom.

She opened the closet and quickly changed the clothes she had worn for the

whole day. Then she walked to the dressing cabinet and grabbed the color that

was most praised by men in a row of lipsticks.

It was just that when she was about to put her mouth in the mirror, her mind

moved and put down the lipstick.

In the end, not only did she not make up the lipstick, she wiped off the

original one instead.

The night was as cold as water, Zheng Shuyi rode through the busy traffic

under the neon envelope, and stopped at the gate of Bogang Yunwan half an hour

later.

The guards in uniform stood on the platforms on both sides, like two little

white poplars, they didn't move anywhere except the eyeballs.

Zheng Shu walked to the guard room window. The young security guard negotiated

a few words with her, and then he registered his ID card and let him go.

Ten minutes later, Zheng Shuyi was already standing in front of Shi Yan's

house. Before raising his hand to press the doorbell, he pressed his chest.

From going out to the present, the road is smooth, and she hasn't even

encountered a traffic jam, which makes her feel too smooth and unreality.

According to Murphy's law, in general, some ups and downs will happen at this

time.

But since it's here, it's all here.

Zheng Shuyi straightened his hair and pressed the doorbell.

For a moment, the door slowly opened, Zheng Shuyi lowered his eyes, smiled

first, and then raised his head.

However, there was no one behind the door.

Oh, automatic doors.

She closed her smile and stepped in.

Going around the porch, there is still some distance from the living room, but

the closer one is the open-air balcony on the side.

Zheng Shuyi's gaze originally went straight into the living room to find

someone, but after walking two steps in, she felt an inexplicable sense of

presence attracted, and then turned her gaze to look to the left.

There is no ceiling lamp in the living room, and the dense ink-like night sky

is the curtain, and the halo of the floor lamp illuminates the corner, soft

and quiet.

Shi Yan sat under the lamp, leaned on the chair, stretched his legs straight,

and turned his head to look at a magazine in his hand.

His glasses were plated with a layer of fine golden light, set on the bridge

of his nose, in sharp contrast with his skin tone.

Zheng Shuyi did not break this oil painting scene.

When the wind moved, Shi Yan looked away from the magazine and looked up,

Zheng Shuyi's long hair was just blown by the wind.

The eyes of the two intertwined.

When she walked in through the gate, it was very cold at night, and the tip of

her nose was red with cold.

The two looked at each other, and Zheng Shuyi stepped forward, twirled his

hair, and said, "Shi always, I'll get things."

Shi Yan raised her chin and motioned for her to go to the table.

Zheng Shuyi immediately turned and walked over.

Her eyes turned, many thoughts surged in her heart, and Shi Yan's gaze swept

lightly from her back, and finally closed the magazine.

The plastic pearl earrings were placed on a storage table, still faintly

glowing in the night.

When Zheng Shuyi stretched out his hand, Yu Guang saw a pile of familiar

things on the cabinet behind the table.

She glanced twice more, seeming a little disbelief.

How many albums of Song Lelan's music are there in Shi Yan's house?

Although Song Lelan is indeed very popular, she is a popular female singer in

the discourse music world, but she is also in her forties this year, and she

does not look like Shi Yan's musical taste at all.

Zheng Shuyi couldn't help but want to look back at Shi Yan, but was caught off

guard to meet his gaze.

"..."

After a moment of inexplicable silence, Zheng Shuyi did not avoid her gaze,

and provoked the topic very naturally, "Shi Zong, do you like Song Lelan?"

No matter why his taste is incompatible with his own temperament, just find

the entry point and talk vigorously.

Shi Yan glanced at the cabinet, before answering, Zheng Shuyi said again:

"It's a coincidence, I like her so much. I have all these albums in your

collection."

She talked and walked in front of him, her eyes curled into crescents, "Which

song do you like best?"

When Zheng Shuyi was only a step away from Shiyan, he suddenly heard a noise

from a certain room.

Zheng Shuyi was surprised, but he didn't expect that there were other people

in this house.

At the same time, she noticed that there was a white cashmere coat on the sofa

next to her.

Next to it is a black female bag and goose yellow scarf.

The sixth sense from the woman instantly swept through Zheng Shuyi's brain,

and all intentions pointed to one result.

There are women in this house.

Young woman.

Shiyan's girlfriend.

Absolutely, absolutely.

Thousands of bees in Zheng Shuyi's mind buzzed out at the same time.

A girlfriend said it earlier!

And even if she had a girlfriend, she also came in when she hit the world of

two people, and she didn't even know how she died when she turned around.

There was a feeling that he was about to be torn. Zheng Shuyi's face flushed,

grabbing his earrings and preparing to retreat: "Then I won't disturb you,

I'll go now."

Shi Yan leaned against the table. His white shirt was slightly wrinkled with

his back bowed slightly. He stared down and looked at Zheng Shuyi's

expression, "Is this going away?"

"It's too late to interrupt." Zheng Shuyi nodded at him, turned and left.

But when she walked to the door, she frowned, and the ripples in her heart

couldn't calm down.

Forget the sunk cost she paid some time ago, if she really has a girlfriend,

then she must interrupt the plan.

Without a definite answer, it is difficult to give up.

So she had already stretched out her hand to open the door. With a thought,

she just changed to hold the door.

Afterwards, she slowly turned back and looked at Shiyan who was still in the

living room.

When Shi Yan found that she hadn't gone, he stopped and turned to look at her.

"That one……"

The blush on Zheng Shuyi's face has not disappeared, and even his voice has

softened a lot, and it sounds as if he is about to say something unspeakable.

"I encountered some inconveniences on my way here, can you ask your girlfriend

to borrow something?"

Shi Yan raised his eyebrows: "My girlfriend?"

His answer is plausible. Of course, Zheng Shuyi wants to break the casserole

and ask in the end, "Isn't the one in the room your girlfriend?"

She looked at the room and felt more nervous than the interview for her first

job.

Following Zheng Shuyi's meaning, Shi Yan looked back into the room, and when

he retracted his gaze, he chuckled very softly.

"No."

"..."

Zheng Shuyi loosened his whole body, but his palms were still hot, muttering

to himself: "That's good..."

Scared to death.

Shi Yan suddenly raised his eyes, tracing her gaze on her face.

The twinkling eyes, the flushed face, and the insignificant "that's good", her

thoughts were already clear.

Shi Yan bowed his head and unbuttoned his cuffs casually.

"Oh? What's the good thing?"

Zheng Shuyi:?

I'm afraid I'll be torn. What can you say?

"Just... lest there be unnecessary misunderstandings."

"What's the misunderstanding?"

Zheng Shuyi raised her eyes, and when she saw Shiyan stared at her, her

expression was as serious as a meeting, but her tone was a little frivolous no

matter how she heard it.

Her voice weakened. It was not acting, but she really felt embarrassed by the

situation.

"misunderstanding……"

Zheng Shuyi couldn't say it after all.

He lowered his eyes, his eyes turned, and the roots of his ears were flushed

in panic.

Shi Yan loosened his cuffs, put his hands back on his trousers, and leaned

against the table, revealing his slack state, so he looked at Zheng Shuyi in

time.

"Oh, won't my niece misunderstand me?"

Oh, niece.

Zheng Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Wait, niece? !

This name pierced into Zheng Shuyi's mind like a thorn, piercing all ulterior

motives. In an instant, Tianlinggai became numb, the soles of the feet were

sour, the fingertips were curled up, and the cells all over the body were

clamoring to let her go.

If you ran into that junior at this time, what else would you play? !

At the same time, footsteps sounded in the room.

Zheng Shuyi didn't have the energy to think about answering the question of

the banquet, and even wanted to reverse the time for an hour, she would not

come here after being killed!

"Yes, yes! Your niece's misunderstanding is not good, then I will go first."

The sudden panic made Zheng Shuyi's voice strange, "You should rest early."

At the same time as the voice fell, the person had already walked out, and by

the way, he left a force to close the door.

With a "bang", the fleeing figure disappeared, and the room was classified as

quiet.

Qin Shiyue walked out of the study and probed his head: "Who is here? Why did

I hear the woman's voice."

Shi Yan retracted his gaze and turned back to the balcony.

Seeing that he seemed to be in a good mood, Qin Shiyue rushed forward, "Who is

it? Girlfriend?"

Shi Yan sat on the chair, picked up the unfinished magazine, and gave Qin

Shiyue a cool glance.

Qin Shiyue suddenly stopped.

She slowly squatted down and looked at Shi Yan in kindness.

"I've thought about it. Why don't I go to work for now? I'm going to study

abroad?"

"Study tour?" Shi Yan didn't raise his eyes, his tone was extremely cold and

indifferent, "You are worthy of these two words?"

Qin Shiyue: "..."

She doesn't understand, why do people have to work hard?

From junior high school, Qin Shiyue had a realization that the money in her

family would never be spent in three lifetimes.

The whole family is working hard to make money, so there is always someone to

spend the money. Obviously she is that candidate.

So she finished high school with peace of mind, and did not memorize a few of

the chemistry formulas, but she had better understanding of cosmetic

ingredients than her chemistry teacher.

The grades are naturally not enough. The family was really dissatisfied at the

time, but they were helpless and took great efforts to send her to a

prestigious foreign university for gilding.

Only this year, she almost failed to graduate.

This "almost" does not mean that her grades are almost close, but that she was

found by the school when she was looking for a shooter.

The school's persistence and the mediation of Shi's relationship for a long

time made her worthy of a degree certificate.

But this time, even Qin Xiaoming, who has always doted on her, turned black.

Shi Yan didn't say anything, and Qin Shiyue was quietly relieved.

After all, she has been fearless since she was a child, and she has been

afraid of feasts.

Unexpectedly, Shiyan directly arranged her to work in Caijing Weekly within a

few days.

At that time, Qin Shiyue realized that what she did really touched Shi Yan's

inverse scale.

But going to work was a bolt from the blue for Qin Shiyue.

She never took classes on time for the college entrance examination, and now

she has to pay nine to five for the internship salary of several thousand yuan

a month?

"It's December, uncle." Qin Shiyue wanted to cry without tears, "the Chinese

New Year is about to go in two months. It won't be more than a year, right?"

Shi Yan didn't seem to listen to her at all.

Qin Shiyue wagged and begged for a long time, but finally only exchanged a

word.

"Our family doesn't raise waste people."

Qin Shiyue: "..."

——

December is the time when major corporate schools are recruiting, and Caijing

Weekly is no exception. This year's national colleges and universities' autumn

recruitment only ended last week. HR and interviewers who traveled on business

returned to their posts and began to prepare for the fresh graduate arrival.

However, Caijing Weekly, as an established media platform independent from the

southern media, is easy to get out and difficult to enter. The core functional

post of the editing department recruits only a handful of newcomers every

year.

It is said that the supervisor of the real estate team next door did not see a

resume.

As for the financial team, the news spread quickly. I heard that this year has

been a good harvest, and I will have two in the afternoon.

After lunch, Tang Yi called Zheng Shuyi into the office.

When she came out, she had an extra resume in her hand.

"What's the situation?" Kong Nan asked her to show her resume. "The editor-in-

chief meant you to bring new people?"

Zheng Shuyi shrugged and threw her resume.

"bother."

Kong Nan opened his resume and glanced at his ID photo.

"Not bad, people are very beautiful."

Then I looked down at the school column and raised my eyebrows.

"The academic background is more beautiful, the editor-in-chief is still an

alumnus, what about the top students, what are you bothering about?"

Zheng Shuyi held his chin, his eyebrows drooped.

"Look at her grades and resume."

Kong Nan looked down and said that the overall grade point was not enough to

see. In the resume column, even the campus singer contest was listed. It can

be seen that there is really nothing to tell. The entire university is mixed.

Such a background is absolutely impossible for a second generation ancestor to

escape.

Kong Nan returned his resume to Zheng Shuyi and smiled happily: "The editor is

really kind to you. I can't say that I can't scold you for throwing such a hot

potato to you."

Zheng Shuyi lay down on the table and said nothing.

After the lunch break, HR walked over with new office supplies, placed them on

the empty desk next to Zheng Shuyi, and began to check whether the computer

could be used normally.

Zheng Shuyi watched her movements and sighed secretly.

I'm so annoying.

Now that she has to work, she also has to devote twelve points to the feast.

How can she have the energy to bring newcomers?

If you're a sensible person, forget it, but looking at the resume, it's

obviously impossible.

However, Tang also forbids her to refuse, saying that this task must be given

to her, and that everything is for her good.

That tone was sincere and sincere, Lu Yu was about to believe it.

After being bored at the workstation for twenty minutes, the one that should

come is still here.

The sound of footsteps moved from far to near, and the entire financial team

turned their heads and saw HR walking over with a young girl.

The little girl looks beautiful from a distance, and she has a high level of

dress without careful attention. The whole person reveals a sense of

superiority, but in those eyes, there does not seem to be the excitement of

entering the workplace.

HR pursued efficiency, brought people to Zheng Shuyi, explained the matter in

a few words and left.

Leave two people covered with rejections and introduce themselves with plastic

smiles.

"Hello, my name is Zheng Shuyi, I have a good cooperation."

"Hello, my name is Qin Shiyue, please advise."

——

After sitting down, Zheng Shuyi was busy revising the interview manuscript of

Shiyan again, forgetting me as soon as he sank in. I don't know how long it

had passed, Kong Nan coughed twice and motioned her to look at the phone.

On WeChat.

Kong Nan: The intern has been playing with her mobile phone for more than an

hour. I think she is quite confused. You should arrange something for someone

to do.

Zheng Shuyi turned to look at Qin Shiyue.

confused?

I think she is having fun.

But anyhow, it was also a task arranged by the editor-in-chief, and Zheng

Shuyi couldn't really let go.

She thought for a while and decided to arrange something lighthearted for Qin

Shiyue first.

"Xiaoyue." Zheng Shuyi handed her a recording pen, "this is for you."

After Qin Shiyue took over, Zheng Shuyi said: "The inside is a recording of an

interview I made some time ago. Please sort out the content carefully and

learn to write the first draft. Give it to me before get off work."

Isn't that just dictation? Okay, it's not too much trouble.

Qin Shiyue nodded, "Okay."

She put on the headphones and exported the audio file. When she saw the file

name was "Shiyan Interview Recording 12.10", she was taken aback, and then the

fear of being dominated by her uncle had begun to spread.

Then, she clicked on the audio and saw that it lasted 120 minutes, and the

fear spread to her chest.

Then she began to listen.

Shi Yan answered the first question with a total of 378 words, all in Chinese,

according to the standard pronunciation.

But Qin Shiyue understood 50 words in total, not even a fraction.

She pulled the progress bar with her fingers stiffly, probably after listening

to the content behind her, and almost fell unconscious on the spot.

Will there be any effect of cutting hair in two months before the first month?
