How can people stay so far away from things that are close to them? - Valery
——
Instead of taking the elevator, I ran down a dozen floors of stairs in one breath, rushed to the door of the office building, looked back, trying to find the room where I had just been interviewed, and found that all the windows reflected the same three-dimensional reflection.
Moonlight.
It turns out that spring has really come.
Forced to lower his head by the dazzling sunlight, Ruochu looked at the elongated shadow on the ground below him, and saw that it was the only one that followed him consistently and firmly. Now it finally no longer needs to be disappointed.
My chest was swollen with a mixture of joy and sadness, and I desperately wanted to release it, but I couldn't find an outlet.
All along, my ideals have changed from doing something big to just finding a place in society and being able to support myself independently, and then to just finding a suitable job. Under the squeeze of reality, I have been constantly forced to
After revision, now that this goal has been achieved, Ruochu feels a little disappointed.
It's really interesting to think about people. During interviews, I always wonder when the days of running around looking at people's faces will end. When it's really over, I feel a little reluctant to deal with so many strangers.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a piece of scenery that she has never been exposed to in her life.
I thought that my phone had been turned off during the interview, so I took it out and turned it on. I took a look at the time and saw that it was not noon yet, but it was almost there. I was skipping class. I hoped that the teacher didn’t call her name. Then Xia Tian’s text message came in with eight words:
Everything is fine and there is no hostility.
I smiled and replied with the word "Thank you", feeling a little guilty. I have never skipped a class when I was growing up. This time I had to do it because of work. Fortunately, it was not my dad's class, but if my dad knew about it, he might
Disappointment, alas, it would be great if I could do my best in everything at the same time. People really can't be greedy.
Just as he was about to put his phone back in his bag, he thought of Rousseau. If it hadn't been for him, he wouldn't have been so successful. He still owed him a meal. He should be taking his father's class now, so why not... pick another day?
Damn it, if she didn't share such a great good thing with anyone, she would get sick herself.
…
Qin Bei saw Ruo Chu as soon as he left the classroom. His eyes lit up. This girl was clamoring to go back to school before school started. Just like her mother back then, if she wanted to see her now, she couldn't do it until the weekend. Today
I don’t know what day it was, but I suddenly appeared like this to surprise him.
"Dad." Ruochu said hello when he saw Qin Bei, and Qin Bei strode over.
"Princess, do you have a problem with me?" He said in a joking tone but with a serious expression. Ruochu smiled and stepped forward to hold one of Qin Bei's arms.
"It just so happens that there is a class in the liberal arts building today. Can't you drop by to see His Majesty the Father?"
"Oh? Why don't you go home if you miss me so much? The whole family misses you."
"Tch, I don't believe that boy Ruoqi misses me. He always complains that I take up his bandwidth."
"You guys, if you have something to do, you should solve it yourself. It's really a headache. Let's go. Dad will treat you to dinner at noon." Qin Bei gently tapped Ruochu's forehead with the handout in his other hand.
"Um, dad, I'm sorry, I have an appointment..." Ruochu looked embarrassed and pointed behind Qin Bei. Qin Bei looked back and saw Rousseau walking out of the classroom.
The father and daughter were stunned for a moment.
"But, Dad, you can go together..." Ruochu immediately added.
"Forget it, I won't be a red candle anymore. You can run home now if you have nothing to do, so that your grandma won't keep talking about you." At this time, Rousseau had already walked to their father and daughter, and Qin Beichong said to Ruochu.
"Accept the decree." Ruochu replied with a smile. Qin Bei rolled his eyes at her, waved to Rousseau, and left.
"Are you here to find me?" After Qin Bei walked away, Rousseau asked Ruochu tentatively. When he first went out, he thought she was here to find Qin Bei, but now it seems that is not the case.
"Of course. Didn't you see that he has left? I'll treat you to dinner, let's go." After Ruochu finished speaking, he walked to the stairs. It was school time at noon, and there were many people waiting at the elevator entrance.
"Then can I choose what to eat?" Rousseau caught up with Ruochu in a few steps and stood side by side with her.
"No, I want to eat barbecue."
"Wait a minute, aren't you inviting me to dinner? Why can't I choose?"
"Because I'm the one who invited you." Ruochu said confidently, and his logic seemed really hard to find a flaw in.
"..." Rousseau was silent, but he was happy in his heart.
Rousseau looked at Ruochu's oily little mouth opening and closing, and felt indescribable warmth and satisfaction. Just watching her eat made him full. The inventor of the idiom "beautiful and delicious" was really close to life.
"Why don't you eat?" Ruochu couldn't help but ask as he saw Rousseau stunned.
"I was wondering, why are there still girls like you eating now? Aren't the whole nation trying to lose weight?" Rousseau deliberately frowned, looking worried and puzzled.
Ruochu gave him a strange look in his "busy schedule" and said, "Losing weight is to please others, eating is to please yourself. If it were you, which one would you choose?" She didn't look at him after she finished speaking. Obviously, this answer only needs to be answered by a normal person.
Will choose the latter.
Rousseau nodded sincerely, "Then, aren't those girls who would rather go on a diet and starve these days stupid?"
"I didn't say that. Everyone has different lifestyles and pursuits. We don't need to blame anyone, but we shouldn't change myself just because others do the same."
"Okay, let's get down to business. Why did you suddenly think of treating me to dinner today?" Rousseau finally couldn't help it. Seeing that she was in such a good mood, she must be happy about something. He had been waiting for her to take the initiative to confess, but now he didn't ask.
I’m afraid I won’t get the answer.”
"I found a job." Ruochu swallowed the food in his mouth and smiled brightly at Rousseau.
"Really? Congratulations, what kind of job is it?" Rousseau couldn't help being infected by her smile and asked with a smile.
"The editor of a film magazine." Ruochu's voice was filled with excitement.
"Editor? Ruoruo, is this really what you want?" Seeing Ruochu being so happy, Rousseau thought it was some great job that was worthy of her giving up graduate school and taking over the Qin family. Of course, he
It’s not that I think editing is a bad job, I just don’t understand how excited Ruochu is.
"Looking at it now, yes, I can't think of any other job that would make me more satisfied." Ruochu put down the tableware in his hand and looked at Rousseau and said seriously.
"But……"
"Do you think I'm lowering my standards for myself?"
"I just think you can do better than this, like..."
"Haha, in my heart, this is the best and is worth my efforts. Isn't that enough? Rousseau, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I really like it. I have also interviewed for many positions, but
Only this, I really hope to stay, can you understand?"
Rousseau was moved by the desire for understanding in Ruochu's tone. He lowered his head and raised his glass when he raised his head again, "Come, drink to our princess's great work. No matter what you do, as long as you are happy, I believe in what you do."
Everything can be done well.”
"Cheers." Ruochu also raised his glass...
"By the way, I can't just take your mobile phone. I also want to give you something. Just tell me what you like. If you don't want it, I'll give you money." Ruochu suddenly thought of this,
He said it immediately.
"Will you give it if you ask for it?" Rousseau's expression immediately became complicated.
"of course."
"Then you agree to be my girlfriend." Rousseau came again, and Ruochu sighed.
"Rousseau, don't you think it would be awkward to have the title of boyfriend and girlfriend given our current friendship and relationship? Is there any difference? Isn't it good to get along like this?" Ruo Chuyi
He used three parallels in his tone, as if he wanted to force Rousseau to retreat despite the difficulties.
"Yes, it's already like this. There really is no difference." Rousseau thought deeply and nodded repeatedly.
"That's right." Ruochu felt that Ruzi could still be saved.
"Then why don't you marry me? This way you can get it right in one step and save trouble." When Rousseau said this, Ruochu was drinking tea. He suddenly choked and kept coughing. Rousseau quickly got up and went to the opposite side of her to help.
Pat her back.
"We'll think about it when I want to get married." Ruochu said, lowering his head to eat. Is this considered a proposal? It feels weird. How should the average girl feel when such a thing happens? God, if someone gives her
Just give me some guidance.
…
With Xiaoqing's help, Xiaochuan finally brought "Mirror" magazine under his banner. However, in order to stabilize people's hearts, he asked the senior management not to spread the news of the magazine's change of ownership for the time being, before he had figured out the future development direction.
Xiaochuan didn't know why he wanted to touch "movies" again, something that he loved and hated. He always thought that Monica's departure would completely alienate him from it. He always thought that his relationship with movies was entirely because of this woman.
, but when this magazine was placed in front of him and he had the opportunity to own it, he did not hesitate at all. Even he later wondered, wasn't he unwilling to have contact with Monica anymore? But at that moment, his
The choice is like an obsession.
Later, he reflected on whether he invested in independent films just because of that woman? When he personally selected the script, or even argued with the director over a scene, was it really just because of that woman?
Xiaochuan always felt that he had accomplished nothing. His first pot of gold was because he met a pen pal. Because of his affinity with Xiaochuan, this penpal gave all the copyrights of his works to Xiaochuan's struggling publishing company. Later, this penpal
He accidentally won the legendary highest award in literature. Of course, Xiaochuan never believed that literature should have any highest award. So his works became popular all over the world overnight, and Xiaochuan's publishing company became the most envied publishing company in the United States.
, think about it, this so-called success does not rely on others?
I originally thought that I would continue on the path of literature, but I couldn’t see the end. Doing business actually didn’t suit my personality. I was over fifty and had accomplished nothing, both in life and in my career. However, I was searching for it.
, seems to have found something that emotions can temporarily rely on.
It may be easy to fall in love with this magazine, maybe it's just because of a sentence in it that touches your heart. Since it touches your heart, treat it well, Xiaochuan told himself.
