Geng Xiaoqing dreamed of reuniting with his boyfriend, and this dream came true before the Qingming Festival.

After the Spring Festival, a "parachute" came to Geng Xiaoqing's department. The man was tall and beautiful, probably because he practiced ballet all year round. She had a slender neck and slender limbs. She wore a tall ponytail every day and looked very capable. She also had a very nice name, called Chen Xi.

Geng Xiaoqing was originally unsatisfied with her, but she felt vaguely that a competitor had come.

It was not until Chen Xi said that she came from the coastal city port city that Geng Xiaoqing was shocked.

There are so many hundreds of people in the Hong Kong City, and there are only a handful of people in this core department. But why do we have two people in the Hong Kong City?

Geng Xiaoqing didn't want any Hongcheng people around her. In her subconscious, it seemed that every Hongcheng people could see her secret.

From that moment on, she decided that she could not be friends with this Chen Xi.

But after learning that the two were fellow villagers, their colleagues "passionately" matched them up. So after Chen Xi's self-introduction, they all started to make a fuss and asked Geng Xiaoqing to take care of the fellow villagers more. Chen Xi widened his beautiful eyes and asked innocently: "I graduated from Gangcheng No. 2 Middle School, where did you graduate?"

Geng Xiaoqing is most annoying to report to her family like this. In the final analysis, she still cannot face the fact that she was born in a third-rate middle school calmly. She is not good at lying, so she said angrily: "I graduated from No. 15 Middle School."

"Oh, that's not easy."

Chen Xi simply agreed and did not ask any further questions. But Geng Xiaoqing felt that Chen Xi did not continue to ask, but was just taking care of her face. Because all the people in Hong Kong City knew that No. 15 Middle School was a very bad high school.

Because I hate Chen Xi's sense of superiority, Geng Xiaoqing has been thinking about how to drive her away all day long.

Chen Xi is a smart and hardworking girl. She comes early every morning and arranges the conference room very well before the meeting. She always handes over any information her leader wants as soon as possible. Her personality is much easier-minded than Geng Xiaoqing. No matter when, she can always hear her hearty laughter. Her colleagues like her very much, which makes Geng Xiaoqing very uncomfortable.

It would be fine if it was just like this. Geng Xiaoqing just kept a distance from her, but Chen Xi insisted on getting close to Geng Xiaoqing. When eating in the cafeteria, she often sat next to Geng Xiaoqing and greeted her enthusiastically. Geng Xiaoqing agreed indifferently, trying to force her away with indifference, but Chen Xi could not notice her thoughts.

Chen Xi likes to talk to her colleagues about her hometown. When they had lunch for the first time, they ate dumplings, Chen Xi talked about the mackerel stuffed dumplings in her hometown. She spoke vividly, as if she was writing a high-scoring essay: "Oh, my grandma wrapped the dumplings in a small and delicate way. When she put them in her mouth, the fresh fragrance of fish immediately spread throughout her body, and her homesickness was cured in an instant!"

The colleagues listened with a smile and swallowed silently. Chen Xi turned his head and asked, "Xiaoqing, what is the best dumpling restaurant in my hometown? Auntie dumplings on the Yellow River Road? People in the Gangcheng District in the South District, or..."

"I have no idea."

Geng Xiaoqing said frankly while having a meal.

Because she knew that the places Chen Xi mentioned were very prosperous areas in the Harbor City. That means that Chen Xi probably came from the "rich area" of the Harbor City, and she was showing off her sense of superiority intentionally or unintentionally.

The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point, and Chen Xi, who was talking nonstop, was silent. But Geng Xiaoqing did not take any remedies. She ate indifferently, and she didn't care what happened outside.

A male colleague laughed exaggeratedly and said, "Hong Kong City is also a big city. You two live in different places, so the hotels you go to must be different!"

The male colleague wanted to smooth things over, but Geng Xiaoqing ignored it, smiled slightly, and continued to eat her meal. Chen Xi almost lost her expression management. She restrained her for a while before she asked with a smile: "Then, Xiaoqing, where is your home?"

Geng Xiaoqing didn't want to mention his high school, and he didn't want to mention where his home was.

She put down her chopsticks and said bluntly: "My home is right there in the worst urban village in the Harbor City. Even if I tell you, will you go there?"

His tone was very unfriendly, and the atmosphere among his colleagues dropped below freezing point. Geng Xiaoqing had not finished his meal yet, but he picked up the plate and said, "Everyone, use it slowly", and left without looking back.

Chen Xi gritted his teeth, but when he raised his head, he still smiled brightly and said to his colleague: "It's me that's wrong, it's me that I'm too far beyond the line, so I shouldn't ask those."

After she said this, her colleagues waved their hands one after another, saying that she wanted to be too kind. Then, they talked about Geng Xiaoqing's various shortcomings, with only one central idea - they have been tolerant of Geng Xiaoqing for a long time.

Chen Xi advised her colleagues to be generous, and she said sweetly: "It is possible that she doesn't like her hometown, after all, it's a small city. It is also possible that she is just a loner by nature! Since she is a colleague, we must get along well. I believe that with everyone's care, she will definitely become cheerful."

In the afternoon of the same day, the department held a meeting. Gu Leming had said before that recently, she wanted to organize her colleagues in the department to take a "hike". When asked about your suggestions, Chen Xi took the lead in speaking: "Let's go to the suburbs of Beijing to climb the mountain! Spring is here, flowers bloom in the mountains, and everything is revived. We have been staying in the city for a long time. We go to the suburbs to climb mountains and have close contact with nature. Our body and mind will be cured. Besides, climbing is a very physical exercise. In this process, we encourage and support each other. At the moment of reaching the top, we will definitely feel an unprecedented sense of accomplishment."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sparse applause in the conference room, and some people even gave "wow" praise. Geng Xiaoqing also nodded in agreement and said half-jokingly: "Chen Xi's writing skills are particularly good, right?"

I don’t know if this is Geng Xiaoqing’s show of kindness, but Chen Xi smiled sweeter and showed off his advantages appropriately: “Although it’s not good to say this, I do like writing. I have won some awards before. When I was in college, I was the pen of the International Student Union.”

Whether it is true or false, everyone burst into a burst of exclamations. Geng Xiaoqing turned his pen and said with a smile: "Most people who like to write are more romantic, but for our job, rigor is more valuable."

Chen Xi couldn't laugh at all.

Before asking "why", Geng Xiaoqing said: "It's just spring, the weather is still very cold, and the mountains are even colder. If you encounter the late spring cold, you may die of freezing in the mountains. Moreover, you have to wait until spring is warm and flowers bloom and everything revives, and then after Qingming Festival. Now the mountains are bare and nothing is there, and you can't cook on the mountain. What else can you do except starve and get cold? We finally have a group activity so that we won't remember the bitterness and sweetness in the mountains in the face of hunger and cold, right?"

Geng Xiaoqing's words make sense, and others agree with it. Unfortunately, she is not as sweet and lovely as Chen Xi. Even if everyone agrees with her point of view, they do not support her as much as Chen Xi.

Chen Xi was dissatisfied and said, "I am also considering the company, so I can save money by climbing mountains!"

Geng Xiaoqing lowered his head and smiled: "What is the budget? Have you forgotten?"

...

Chen Xi was unwilling to be asked just like that, so he continued to say: "Climbing, as long as the tickets, the cost of chartering a car, and other things..."

Geng Xiaoqing still smiled and said, "I just said that you can't have a picnic on the mountain. What should I do if so many people eat? The journey is long and I may not be able to travel back and forth on the same day. How much is the accommodation cost? In addition, what if I get injured in the mountain or catch a cold, which causes some 'non-combat reduction' and affects my work? Have you calculated these explicit and implicit costs?"

Chen Xi was finally speechless when asked. She bit her lips secretly. It could be seen that she was very angry and had no face, but she still tried to keep a smile, and her smile was as bright as possible: "I'm just talking, it's just a throwing brick and arousing jade. Everyone has better ideas, can they say it out! Xiaoqing, what do you think?"

Geng Xiaoqing then distributed the information in his hand to everyone and said, "This is the plan I made. Let's see if it's feasible."

Everyone was stunned when they saw it, but they were more impressed. In such a short time, Geng Xiaoqing actually listed three plans, including indoors, outdoors, entertainment, and military expansion. She wrote the points of each plan clearly and the per capita cost was clearly written, and she did her homework at a glance. Maybe she had consulted a company that specialized in team building.

Gu Leming looked at it and said with praise: "I think we don't need to say anything more. Just vote and choose one of Geng Xiaoqing's three plans."

Although the others were dissatisfied with Geng Xiaoqing, they still recognized her work ability. They joked that with Geng Xiaoqing, their work content was much easier. Geng Xiaoqing just smiled calmly and did not take it seriously. Chen Xi also smiled, but the muscles on her face were very stiff.

At lunch the next day, Geng Xiaoqing was still having dinner alone, and Chen Xi came over with a plate again. This time, Chen Xi asked bluntly: "Xiaoqing, which year did you come for the college entrance examination?"

This problem is very bad. Geng Xiaoqing paused for a moment before saying, "2011."

"What a coincidence, I also took the college entrance examination in 2011." Chen Xi closed his hair and said, "I said, why am I so familiar with your name. It turns out that you are the only student who was admitted to Peking University since the founding of the No. 15 Middle School. It's so amazing."

The ominous premonition became stronger and stronger, and Geng Xiaoqing didn't know what she wanted to say. Chen Xi said to other colleagues lively: "After we finished the college entrance examination, Xiaoqing became a celebrity in our place!"

Geng Xiaoqing held the spoon tightly, and Chen Xi's voice was very cheerful, but gradually became distant. Geng Xiaoqing's mind was blank and he vaguely heard her say: "Hong Kong City TV reported that Xiaoqing's family is very special. It is really not easy for her to be admitted to Peking University under such a difficult situation."

Obviously, the colleagues focused on "the family is very special", and their curious eyes projected from all directions, Geng Xiaoqing's cheeks were hot. The thing she was worried about finally happened. A fellow villager in the Hong Kong City easily destroyed her character design that she had been operating for a long time.

"Hey, what are you saying, are you so happy?"

It was Gu Leming's voice.

Geng Xiaoqing regained some spirit and forced himself to raise his head. Gu Leming stood opposite her, smiled at her, and then said to Chen Xi: "It's really not easy for Xiaoqing. He grew up almost without a father or mother, so he is so independent and thinks about things so thoroughly."

Chen Xi smiled awkwardly.

Gu Leming said again: "But Xiaoqing is stronger, and he never wants others to know the difficulties in life. Now you all know, so you should help her more and understand her in the future. Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded, but Geng Xiaoqing's eyes were wet. What she cared about was never the "difficulty", but the "sorrow". Fortunately, Gu Leming covered it up in a few words.

She wanted to say "thank you", but Gu Leming had already left. She was tearful and showed a weak posture for the first time. However, when her eyes hit Chen Xi, she became fierce again.
