This was the first time Cheng Yingying received news from her superiors and came to the president's office to meet with Gu Yun.
It has been a while since I entered Paradise Technology through campus recruitment and then transferred to work in Pinyuan.
A start-up company always has countless tasks, and in addition to serving the famous workaholic Huang Zheng, Cheng Yingying tried her best behind the scenes to make herself look effortless.
Gu Yun looked at Cheng Yingying. The senior girl in front of him was wearing a pair of trousers that looked like a skirt, a pair of flat shoes, and a simple white shirt on her upper body. She looked fresh and elegant.
The girl has a standard almond-shaped beauty face, with a full forehead, a delicate chin, three-dimensional facial features, and extremely deep lines.
She wore simple light makeup today and a pair of round-framed glasses, which made her whole person look gentler.
"I heard your English is pretty good?"
Gu Yun took a sip of tea and got straight to the point.
"Mr. Gu, I used to be a TOEFL teacher in an institution, and my TOEFL score was 112."
Cheng Yingying is clean and neat and speaks with numbers.
As we all know, a TOEFL score of 120 is perfect and can reach 112. The level is absolutely top-notch.
The TOEFL teacher's income was originally good, but Cheng Yingying's salary had to be used to subsidize the heavy burden of her native family, and she also had to save money for studying abroad. No matter how she calculated it, the account would never be settled.
The family was really in trouble, so Cheng Yingying gave up her plan to study abroad, quit her part-time job taking the TOEFL exam, and used the savings she had saved to prepare for the postgraduate exam.
She is a girl who never accepts her fate. She grits her teeth and seizes the opportunity to change her destiny.
"I'm going to Seattle to participate in a competition in a while. I need a team translator and life assistant. Are you willing to go?"
Cheng Yingying's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously.
"willing!"
"I'll give you two days off to apply for a passport. The two of us have tourist visas, and we'll handle the visa issues together then."
Unlike the complicated work visas of the team members, Gu Yun and Cheng Yingying's trip to Seattle does not involve receiving bonuses or other profitable matters. They only need to apply for relatively simple tourist visas.
After applying for a visa and making all preparations for travel, Gu Yun went to Tongji Medical College of Jiangcheng University of Science and Technology to pay a special visit to Gao Zhipeng.
Gao Zhipeng seemed to be recovering well. He was lying in a private ward reading a book. The nurse next to him had just changed his medicine.
Gu Yun pushed open the ward door. Gao Zhipeng raised his head from his book and said hello to him.
"You came."
"How's your recovery going?"
"It's not bad. I'm recovering roughly, and I'll be discharged from the hospital by the end of the month."
The two of them were not particularly good friends. After the pleasantries and politeness, there was only silence.
"You haven't been having a good time lately, have you?"
"Um?"
Gu Yun didn't understand what Gao Zhipeng meant.
"During the days when I was lying in bed unable to move, I thought about a lot of things clearly."
Gao Zhipeng's tone was a little sad, "This is reincarnation."
Looking at Gu Yun's puzzled expression, Gao Zhipeng continued to add: "Senior sister Hua Shiyuan was sent to Yingshan County. The senior sister asked her relatives for help and selected college students from the school to help teach. Finally, I came here and I went up the mountain.
Something unexpected happened."
"My brother was very angry. He felt that if senior Hua Shiyuan hadn't organized some teaching activities, I wouldn't have been injured. That's what he and his family said. I couldn't persuade him at all."
"But my brother never considered that if his family had not intervened in the selection, senior Hua Shiyuan would never have come to Yingshan County."
Gao Zhipeng let out a long sigh and stared blankly at the ceiling.
"what do you want to say?"
After talking a lot, it seemed to have nothing to do with whether he was happy or not, Gu Yun asked further.
"I just want to say that my brother and I are really different."
Gao Zhipeng turned his head and handed Gu Yun a banana.
"He has been short-tempered since he was a child. This incident seemed to be because I was injured and dying. He was angry with my senior because of me. In fact, he was jealous of my senior's achievements in Yingshan County."
"Based on what I know about my brother, this matter is definitely not over."
"You won't tell me that Senior Sister Hua Shiyuan has nothing to do with you, right?"
Gu Yun saved his life. Compared with this kindness, the conflict between his cousin and Hua Shiyuan seemed so insignificant.
Naturally, he wanted to tell Gu Yun about this sign. The two of them would face each other sooner or later, so he should prepare early.
Gu Yun was silent.
In his previous life, Gao Zhipeng was able to sail smoothly within the system. In addition to the support of his family background, his two businesses were naturally online.
When he heard from his cousin that Yingshan County had received sponsorship from Paradise Technology, coupled with rumors from members of the student union, he was finally able to confirm his suspicions.
"Actually, I've always been quite jealous of you."
Gao Zhipeng looked out the window. After experiencing life and death, he could finally speak his mind calmly.
"Since I was a child, I have never experienced the feeling of not having what I want, but since I met you in college, I seem to be overwhelmed by you in every field."
"Let's not talk about starting a business from scratch. Le Yi likes you. Even Chairman Hua, who has always been unpretentious with men, also likes you."
"You might not believe me if I tell you. I even scolded you secretly on Weibo."
"Are you being very cautious?"
In the quiet private ward, Gao Zhipeng and Gu Yun, old acquaintances for two generations, opened their hearts to each other for the first time.
"What kind of small-mindedness is this?"
It is the scorching summer noon, the sun is strong, and everything is visible.
Gu Yun burst into laughter. Who hasn't experienced the emotion of jealousy?
How could a junior clerk of ten years in his previous life not be jealous of Gao Zhipeng, the division leader who responded to everything?
"I have always been dissatisfied before."
Gao Zhipeng closed his eyes, and the scene he had recalled repeatedly in the past month appeared in his mind.
In the cave at the top of the mountain, the wind rushes into the nose, filling the air with a decaying and damp smell.
The blood was flowing, and the cold blade was tightly held in his hand, unable to keep it from getting warm.
A young man gets entangled with a strange man.
In a desperate situation, the young man pulled out the knife from his body and stabbed the strange man through the heart.
Not a trace of hesitation.
Later, Gao Zhipeng reviewed the situation countless times, and every action and decision made by Gu Yun was probably the optimal solution at the moment.
How did he stay so calm and rational?
Is he really not afraid?
“The day I climbed Datong Peak, I was convinced.”
After snatching his life back from the god of death, Gao Zhipeng was convinced and fell to the ground.
The reason is simple, he can't do it himself.
Even if he was given another chance, even if he was the one who escaped the fatal blow and it was Gu Yun who was seriously injured and dying, he still had no confidence that he could bring everyone down from the mountain alive.
Experience is a man's whetstone.
After this battle, Gao Zhipeng's jealousy disappeared. He was finally able to change his mentality and face himself.
"I won't talk about the past. What I want to ask most is, how did you deal with the encounter between senior sister and Zhong Leyi?"
The sickly Gao Zhipeng rarely showed a bright smile.
He still remembers the expressions on their faces when they met in the ward.
After laying the groundwork for a long time, Gao Zhipeng finally found the opportunity to speak.
"If you said this, it would be really difficult... I was blocked that night."
Gu Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Don't be discouraged. Just get it back. A man should be persistent! Let me tell you about my experience."
As Gao Zhipeng walked through the flowers, he often encountered car crashes.
Even during the few days he was teaching in Yingshan County, he showed great courtesy to Liu Xuena, but secretly he was still hooking up with Bai Wenshu, and the two secretly went back to bed several times.
With her own income, Bai Wenshu lost her youthful student spirit and became more attractive to Gao Zhipeng.
Until Liu Xuena witnessed the two making out in the ward, she never came to take care of Gao Zhipeng again.
"You see, even in this situation where I was caught on the spot, I managed to coax Nana back."
