This was a question that had never been expected, and it shouldn't have appeared in the interview. Geng Xiaoqing was silent for a few seconds and replied cleverly: "I watched this movie in college."

"Then what do you think is the cause of Gatsby's tragedy?"

No, this problem has not appeared in the book. Geng Xiaoqing was not prepared and didn't know how to answer. In a panic, she casually said: "Basically speaking, it is because of the corruption and depravity of the new bourgeoisie, and because of the vanity of human beings..."

Gu Leming smiled slightly, but Geng Xiaoqing couldn't laugh anymore.

"You said it right, but in my opinion, Gatsby is very capable, but he is too naive. Although he is not from a high school, he decided to make a name for himself since he was a child, and he made strict plans for himself, exercised his body every day, practiced speeches, etc. Later, he held banquets for Daisy every night, and the upper class people respected him. He seemed to have realized his dream, but did he really integrate into the upper class?"

Geng Xiaoqing bit his lips secretly.

"No. Moreover, Nick has long seen clearly his fabricated life experience and his deliberately trained traces. I often wonder if Gatsby didn't deliberately raise his background and did not greedily admire the glitz of the upper class, would he have a good ending?"

Geng Xiaoqing's face turned pale and his hands were bulging.

Gu Leming showed a warm smile at the right time: "These are not contents of assessments. You don't have to be nervous, and it will not affect your grades at all."

After get off work, Geng Xiaoqing did not practice yoga as usual, but went straight home. She had no appetite, but in fact her appetite has never been very good. Before going to college, eating a sushi with duck neck was a luxury. Now she is able to afford various delicacies, but she just can't eat it. Over time, her stomach is not very healthy, so she can't get fat.

Work exhausted her, but she couldn't sleep. She took off her makeup, changed into comfortable home clothes, took out a bottle of red wine from the refrigerator, looked at the traffic outside the window, and started drinking by herself.

She had tried her best to live a refined life, and even her parents made it up - her parents were originally teachers, but unfortunately died in a car accident. She was adopted by her aunt. Her aunt and uncle were not doing her job properly, and she suffered a lot... She put in a lot of hard work to achieve her today.

A beautiful and excellent female classmate can easily gain the trust of others, and her classmates have never doubted her words. Geng Xiaoqing has even more and more optimized her personality. She took a high scholarship to study oil painting and vocal music. When she was studying for a master's degree in Japan, she spent a lot of money to learn flower arrangement.

All of this is to label herself with a "good background". The circle she is in now also acknowledged this label. She thought she had worked hard enough and had done flawlessly, but what is the background of Director Gu who can actually see through her at a glance, and even said to her insinuatedly with Gatsby?

After slowly drinking a glass of red wine, Geng Xiaoqing couldn't find the answer. She turned on her phone and still did not receive any QQ messages. After seven years, he still refused to forgive her. She put down her self-esteem and sent a message every day, probably to the air.

Since she came to Beijing, different boys have pursued her. At that time, Geng Xiaoqing was still a little inferior, because almost every student was versatile, and she was only good at running. However, she hid this inferiority complex very deeply and did not reveal it in front of anyone.

Geng Xiaoqing doesn't like to participate in group activities, but at the sports meetings held by the department, she has achieved good rankings in both middle and long-distance running. These results have gradually dispelled her inferiority complex. Someone asked her if she had practiced long-distance running before?

Geng Xiaoqing did not deny it or admit it, and still replied very smartly: "Anyway, I have been able to run since I was a child."

If someone pursues her, she will also have the confidence to joke: "I run very fast and I am good at running long distances, and you may not be able to catch up with me!"

She has become better and is running harder. She has run from a small town full of the smell of the sea to such an international metropolis. She has more strength to run forward. However, in her distant childhood and youth, someone held her hand and ran together, and now she is the only one left.

When she thinks of these, she always feels uncomfortable.

Geng Xiaoqing tried his best to avoid going back to his hometown. After going to college, the only contact between her and Sun Chengcai and Chen Zeping was to inquire about Tong Tong. But the two of them knew nothing, and their caliber was surprisingly consistent: "In his mind, I became a sinner, and he refused to pay attention to me."

Geng Xiaoqing didn't know what happened that night, but the two friends who had the best relationship with him also had a breakup with him, which made her feel a little comforted.

Now she never drinks with strange boys, and occasionally she will fall into fantasy. If she let herself go completely and drinks with different men every day, would he not be able to bear it and suddenly emerge from some corner and pull her to discipline her?

But she didn't dare to do that. Because of drinking, she almost made a big mistake, which made him fail to receive that crucial call. Geng Xiaoqing always felt that he was right, but when he was furious, she didn't have the courage to defend herself.

Three years ago, when she was going abroad, she had to go back to her hometown. The port city changed a lot. With a high-speed rail station, there were more high-rise buildings by the sea, but the Three Happiness Villages were still the same as before, as decaying and dilapidated, and quieter than before. There were almost no young people there, only some tranquil old people who were left, surviving under the undying sun.

The residents here hear about demolition several times a year, but each time it is just a veritable "heard" and this is a place forgotten by the rapidly developing city.

Geng Xiaoqing went home to get a kinship certificate. She had to do it very secretly so that she would not reveal it in front of her classmates. After all, she had already made her life experience perfectly and could not fail.

Her mother Hong Yuling is the one she hated for the whole life, but she held the household registration book in her hand, so Geng Xiaoqing had to deal with her. After thinking about it, she decided to let Geng Qiuyun find a solution. She said that as long as she got the household registration book, she would give him 2,000 yuan.

Although Geng Qiuyun was careless, after this incident, his heart was completely cold.

He achieved nothing in his life, and his wife and children were separated when he was old. His daughter contacted him occasionally, and he spent money to get his household registration book.

Geng Qiuyun still had a little conscience. After sighing, he decided to help his daughter. If she was willing to give the money, he would not be disappointed if she didn't give it.

He has been in prison for more than nine years and has become unfamiliar with his wife. He usually lives in the factory and occasionally goes home to check it out. His wife is mostly not at home. He doesn't know what she is busy with or who she is mixed with. The two of them are strangers.

Geng Qiuyun was already disheartened and gradually became numb to the ridicule of others. Occasionally, he would feel sad. How did he get to this point?

Hong Lingyu did not give her a household registration book, she stared at her eyes and shouted: "She is promising now, let her get 100,000 yuan, otherwise she will have no way to go."

"We haven't raised her for so many years. She wants a household registration book, but it's not that you want money, just give it to her!"

"Ha, I'll give birth to her and give her to her after high school. How can I raise her? After spending so many years, she didn't pay me a penny, and I asked her for 100,000 yuan, not much at all."

Geng Qiuyun felt tired. According to his usual style of conduct, he could just push the blame to Hong Lingyu, but he didn't know what was wrong. Perhaps he remembered the female teacher who once helped him. The thread of fatherly love that the female teacher evoked was always hidden in his heart.

He was distressed for several days, and finally "stole" his household registration book while Hong Lingyu was not at home, and called his daughter. Geng Xiaoqing asked him to meet at the beach. In March, Geng Xiaoqing was wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses, which was very cool and fashionable. She didn't look like a pure college student, but rather like an experienced female killer.

The female killer took the account book, looked it through, and handed an envelope to his father: "Hey, although it's a few days late, the money is not yours."

Geng Qiuyun felt very uncomfortable. He didn't want to have such a relationship with his daughter, so he didn't take the money, but asked unfamiliarly: "Have you been doing well outside these years?"

Geng Xiaoqing suddenly sneered, and Geng Qiuyun didn't dare to ask again. After Geng Xiaoqing finished reading the household registration book, Geng Qiuyun asked dryly again: "What do you want to do with the household registration book? How long will it take?"

"Prove that I am a native foreigner." Geng Xiaoqing explained impatiently: "If I want to study abroad, I must prove that I am a complete foreigner to them."

"Oh..." Geng Qiuyun still couldn't understand and asked again: "Then...where are you going?"

"Japan."

Geng Qiuyun also wanted to ask her if she had enough money and if she could speak Japanese, but when she saw her confident look, she felt that she was worrying. He had not taken the money for a long time, so Geng Xiaoqing stuffed the envelope into his hand and said, "Hold it!"

Geng Qiuyun did not refuse again and said, "Come back as soon as possible. Your mother locked it in the drawer, and I stole it."

Geng Xiaoqing then raised his head and looked at his father.

"I said, it was Hong Lingyu who was messing around again. She almost cut off my path to college a few years ago, and now she doesn't want me to study abroad."

"She's just like this in her life, she's lost to the eyes of money."

Geng Xiaoqing gritted his teeth and asked again: "Then you have really gone through a lot of trouble. Do you want me to give you more money?"

Geng Qiuyun's face suddenly became cold.

"I'm kidding. If you can do this for me, you're a bit like a father."

Geng Xiaoqing patted his father on the shoulder, as if encouraging a subordinate: "I have recorded this kindness and tell Hong Lingyu that I hate her for the rest of my life. If she makes trouble again, I will not let her live a better life."
