A truly talented person is always kind, frank, forthright, and never reserved. - Bacon

Regarding Xia Tian's work issue, Ruochu once again asked Rousseau to come out for discussion. This was the last chance. If Xia Tian refused again, there would be nothing he could do. So this time Ruo Chu was more obedient and borrowed Rousseau's intelligence to see how he could do it.
Nothing goes wrong.
As soon as Rousseau came out of the library, he saw Ruochu sitting on the edge of the flower bed with her head down thinking about something. He walked quietly behind her and patted her head gently with the book in his hand: "Why are you so anxious to find something?"
Am I in a hurry to confess my love?"
"Yeah!" Ruochu suddenly raised her head and met Rousseau's eager eyes. She swallowed back her words that she wanted to contradict him. Who asked her to ask for anything from him? So she lowered her head again and muttered to herself.
: "That's a pretty idea?"
"What?" Rousseau pretended not to hear, and deliberately put one ear close to Ruochu. Ruochu reached out and pushed his head away, "Let's go, treat me to lunch, I need your help with something." He stood up immediately.
, pat your butt and leave.
"Hey, why are you asking me for help? Why should I treat you to dinner?" Rousseau was very happy in his heart and shouted dissatisfied. He took a few steps to catch up with Ruochu.
"Anyway, no matter what time, even if I invite you, you will be the one rushing to pay in the end. Why don't I give you the opportunity directly? Besides, if I don't kill you, you will have nowhere to spend your paper award and manuscript fees, right?
"
Ruochu explained calmly.
"It sounds like that, but why is it so awkward?" Rousseau looked confused.
"Lusuo, hurry up, I'm starving." Ruochu called out the nickname he had given Rousseau since he was a child. Rousseau was confused as soon as he heard this nickname, but he felt kind to it because there was only Ruochu in the world.
Call him that.
"What do you think?" After Ruochu filled his stomach, he told Rousseau what he thought. Rousseau nodded, "At your home, if you ask the teacher if he can recommend his classmates, I will know what you think.
"Heroes think alike?" Ruochu looked at Rousseau with a proud look on his face.
"I didn't say you were a hero." Rousseau rolled his eyes at her. Recently, this girl has been eating more and more. Aren't girls busy losing weight in the summer?
"The key to this matter is Xia Tian. We can't let her feel that we are helping her, but we can't hide it from her yet. This is a matter of speaking skills. If necessary, we have to design an exam so that
Only Xia Tian will feel better." Rousseau expressed his thoughts. It can be said that after the last contact, he also had a relatively accurate grasp of Xia Tian's character.
Ruochu nodded deeply.
After the two of them agreed, Ruochu called and asked Xia Tian to go out for dinner. "I'll treat you tonight. If you rush to pay, I'll worry about you." Ruochu threatened Rousseau when they left. Rousseau smiled and waved,
"See you tonight."
"Okay, I'm going to class."
…
"Tell me, how do you two want to help me this time?" Xia Tian said with a smile as soon as she sat down in front of Ruochu and Rousseau. She traveled for another day today and interviewed two places, one of which was very sincere to her.
, but the salary was slightly worse, and the salary of the other company was better, but Xia Tian felt that the position was a bit unsuitable for her. When Ruochu called her in the afternoon, she was waiting for the interview. On the way back in the evening, she kept weighing the two.
companies.
She is full of gratitude to Ruochu and Rousseau. She knows that they sincerely help her. She is very lucky to have friends like Ruochu, even though the two people grew up in very different environments. In the eyes of many people, Ruochu is unsociable.
Because of her pride and aloofness, some people even say she looks down on others.
But Xia Tian didn't see it that way. After several contacts, she discovered that Ruochu was actually not what everyone thought. Many people were willing to immerse themselves in their own world. It wasn't that they didn't want to make friends, but that they didn't want to put in the effort.
To maintain so-called interpersonal relationships, once they meet someone who can understand each other deeply, they will devote themselves wholeheartedly and treat each other with absolute sincerity, but they are still indifferent on the surface. If Ruochu is such a person, Xia Tian is very
I admire this about her and am very used to this kind of friendship between gentlemen who looks as light as water but is actually as fierce as fire.
"Xia Tian, we have something to ask you for help this time." Ruochu said with a very embarrassed look.
"Really? Whatever you need me to do, I will do my best." Xia Tian became energetic and said generously.
"That's right, my dad and uncle want to build a literary website and let Rousseau prepare an editorial department..." Ruochu said.
"I've been busy with my thesis recently, and I'm a little overwhelmed. I can't recruit the right people to share the work with me, which makes me very stressed..." Rousseau continued Ruochu's words.
"I originally wanted to help, but daddy and uncle came out with another magazine. I have to get that, so I can't help at all..." Ruochu immediately took over, and the two of them cooperated seamlessly, just like
It's a double act.
"Do you want my help?" Xia Tian seemed to have realized something under the singing of the two of them, and said calmly.
Rousseau and Ruochu nodded tacitly again, even at the same frequency, and Xia Tian smiled softly.
"But, how do you know that I am suitable?" Xia Tian said.
If you take a first look at Rousseau, you will see that he is really thoughtful.
"Ah, it's like this. Professor Qin designed the exam questions. Even if we really want your help, you have to pass the exam. It's all based on your grades. It's not just because we say we want you to come." Rousseau said calmly.
.
"Xia Tian, no one has passed the exam so far. We are also very anxious. My dad doesn't want to lower the standards yet, so you just watch us suffer here?" Ruochu found that his ability to make up stories was getting stronger and stronger.
, I had to design exam questions with Rousseau when I got back.
Xia Tian pondered for a while, and Ruochu looked at her nervously.
"Okay, then I'll give it a try. If I can't pass, I won't be able to help you. Don't blame me." Xia Tian said easily.
"Really? That's great. Let's order something to eat. By the way, we want wine, we want wine, and we want to celebrate." Ruochu was happier than anyone else and excitedly called the waiter to come over and order food. Rousseau was smiling next to him.
Looking at Ruochu, his eyes were full of doting, while Xia Tian looked at the two of them with deep meaning.
Halfway through the meal, Xia Tian filled all three people's wine glasses with wine. "Ruoruo, senior brother, I have something to say."
Ruochu and Rousseau looked at her.
"I want to thank you." Xia Tian said.
"No, it's us who want to thank you." Ruochu hurriedly retorted.
"Ruoruo, I know you are still helping me this time, just in a different form." Xia Tian said. Ruoruo didn't know how to respond. Rousseau's expression also changed slightly, and he waited calmly for the next step.
"I am really grateful for everything you did for me last time. I feel sorry for not accepting your help. However, no matter how small I am, I still want to make a difference. For this reason, I don't want to take shortcuts.
So I have to ask your forgiveness for what happened last time." Xia Tian said this and raised his glass to Rousseau and Ruochu.
"Xia Tian, we can understand." Ruochu also raised his glass, and the three of them drank it in one gulp.
"And this time, you have worked so hard. If I don't accept it, I will be really sorry for you, right?" Xia Tian said as he filled the three people's glasses with wine, and his tone became more relaxed.
"But this time, I am willing to join you, because I think what you are doing is very meaningful and very attractive to me. I am willing to fight with you. I will work hard to do a good job. Please believe me." Xia Tian.
He raised the cup again.
Rousseau couldn't help but sigh. She was really a smart woman. She knew what she wanted, knew how to advance and retreat, was not pretentious, and was neither humble nor overbearing.
"Come on, let's have a toast, Ruoruo, it seems that the two of us combined are not as smart as Xia Tian."
Ruochu was so moved by Xia Tian's words that he didn't know what to say. At this time, he also picked up his wine glass, "Then let's work hard together and strive to do something great. By then we will be an invincible trio..."
"Three people? I don't want to be a red candle." Xia Tian's naughty energy came back, looking at Rousseau and Ruochu with a wicked smile.
Rousseau pretended not to hear, and Ruochu's face suddenly turned red.
…
"Dad... Editor-in-Chief, are you looking for me?" Ruochu was called to the office by Xiaochuan as soon as he arrived at the "Mirror" the next day.
"Like everyone else, call me Humbert." Xiaochuan glanced at Ruochu, got up and walked out from behind the desk towards the direction of the refrigerator.
"Well, Dad... Humbert, I won't eat the popsicles." Ruochu was more curious about what Xiaochuan asked her to do so early in the morning.
Xiaochuan turned back after hearing this, and it seemed that he had to prepare some other snacks.
"I have two things to ask you. Are there a lot of things going on at school recently?" Xiaochuan put his hands on the desk and did not sit down.
"Fortunately, please ask the leader to assign tasks." Ruochu vaguely felt that a challenge was coming.
"Okay, I have to leave for a while recently. There are some things that need to be dealt with in the United States. You have to take charge of the affairs here. You are fully responsible for the May issue. You will also host the topic selection meeting. You can do whatever you want. I hope to come back.
This is the first thing to do when you see a brand new magazine. Another thing is about dm magazine. You have to make an overall plan. This is relatively difficult. You have to consider several aspects such as style, positioning, and audience group.
, we must also consider the needs of the market and customers. You need to communicate more with your aunts about this. If you have any difficulties, you can ask." Xiaochuan intentionally left such an important matter to Ruochu, that is,
I want to see how much pressure she can handle.
"No problem." Ruochu replied lightly.
Xiaochuan was secretly surprised. What a big tone. Let's see how far she can go. If the thunder was big and the rain was small, he would criticize her mercilessly. At such a young age, she is confident and not afraid.
, what I’m afraid of is blind confidence, her way of doing things is so different from her mother’s.
"Okay, wait until I come back to discuss the plan with you. It'll be fine."
"Oh, then I'm going to work. Have a nice trip, Humbert." Ruochu deliberately emphasized the word "Humbert" when he said it. It felt good to be equal to his elders.
"Wait a minute, this is for you." Xiaochuan took out a bunch of keys from the drawer, "The big room is freed up for you. You can move in anytime. I won't ask your godmother to show you the door.
.”
Ruochu took the key and left Xiaochuan's office happily. Everything had to start again, a new future, a new world.
