Chapter 10: The heart is as high as the sky and the fate is as thin as paper
The weather in the capital has been unusually good these past few days. The sun has been shining brightly all day long, and the sky is so blue that there are no impurities, with only a few thin clouds drifting faintly.
In the afternoon, Yun Qing's seat was always vacant. Qiao Xinwei would turn to look at Mr. Ruan's office from time to time. She knew that Yun Qing went to inquire about Ji Xiaohai with Ruan Bin.
She wanted to stop him, but she didn't.
Based on her understanding of Ji Xiaohai, Ji Xiaohai should not come to Yuanda again. He is a man who values face above all else.
When that incident was exposed, he and Sun Rongxuan hurriedly resigned and left. Later, they didn't even invite any of their former colleagues to get married. From these things, it can be seen that he definitely wanted to sever all ties with this place. Because
All his colleagues here know about the scandal between him and Sun Rongxuan, and he must feel embarrassed himself.
But today, why did Ji Xiaohai come to the company? When you come to the company, you can't avoid meeting everyone, let alone the criticism of some busybodies. This is not Ji Xiaohai's style.
"Hi, I'm here." Yun Qing patted the shoulder of Qiao Xinwei, who was in a daze, "I found out what you want to know."
Qiao Xinwei strongly denied it, "I have nothing to know about Ji Xiaohai."
"Hey, I didn't say anything. How did you know that I was talking about Ji Xiaohai? It's obvious that there is something wrong in your mind."
"..."
Yun Qing came to the company through Chen Jingye’s relationship. Chen Jingye and Ruan Bin grew up together. Therefore, although Ruan Bin was the general manager, he always treated Yun Qing as his sister-in-law. Under Yun Qing’s hard work,
, Ruan Bin finally relaxed. It turned out that Ji Xiaohai came to ask him to write a letter of recommendation.
After resigning from Yuanda, Sun Rongxuan had her baby at home, and the burden of the whole family fell on Ji Xiaohai's shoulders. The other job Ji Xiaohai found after losing his job at Yuanda was not satisfactory at all, and his salary was even worse than before.
In a place like the capital where there are abundant talents, the cadre positions in large companies are basically saturated. If you want to get a higher position, you either have to have a backer and connections, or you have to work at a low level for a few years.
Ji Xiaohai came today to ask Ruan Bin to introduce him to a good job.
Yun Qing took a sip of water, cleared his throat, and continued talking, "I thought that Ji Xiaohai had so much ambition that he could leave at a moment's notice, but that's all it seemed. As the saying goes, your heart is as high as the sky, your destiny is.
He is thinner than paper, and if he has no money, he is just a bastard. This Ruan Bin pissed me off so much that he actually agreed, saying that someone’s work ability is okay, bah, no matter how strong his work ability is, he is still a blind man!”
Qiao Xinwei tried to interrupt her, "Okay, stop talking, it's all over."
But Yun Qing was talking enthusiastically and kept talking, "That's right, he is blind, and you are also a fool. When Sun Rongxuan doesn't have a job, you help introduce her to the company. If she makes a mistake, you take the blame for her. She can't do her job well.
After you help her work overtime, she has no place to live and you still let her live at Ji Xiaohai's place. Then you can live in it yourself. Why don't you live in and watch it?! I tell you, you are just too stupid. Men are just like that.
It’s time to keep an eye on it.”
"Yunqing, if you tell me again, I'll break up with you."
Yun Qing took a breath and said, "Hey, I'm done. It feels so good to say it. Xinwei, you'd better consider Jiang Hao carefully. His conditions will definitely kill a street in the capital."
"Stop, besides, I'm really angry!"
Yun Qing closed her mouth knowingly, then stretched out her hand to her mouth to make a zipper gesture. If she didn't want to say anything, she wouldn't say anything. Anyway, she was done.

In the evening, the entire sky in the west is warm yellow, and the fiery red sunset sometimes hides behind the tall buildings, and sometimes jumps out from the gap between the two tall buildings, as if playing hide and seek, it is dazzlingly beautiful.
After get off work, Qiao Xin only walked out of the company door and saw Jing Shang standing in the distance. He was surrounded by the golden afterglow. He was holding a big plastic bag in one hand and waving to her with the other hand. The setting sun covered him
The reflection is extremely long and slender.
Qiao Xinwei hesitated, and her steps became difficult.
"Brother, why are you here?"
Jing Shang smiled easily and said, "Mom sprained her waist today, so I left work early to buy groceries. I happened to pass by your work, and I thought it was almost time for you to get off work, so I waited for you to go home together."
"Is mom okay? Is it okay? Really, she should have called me. Why bother you?"
"Look what you said, isn't it the same as calling me? My work is relatively close to the market."
Qiao Xinwei smiled and said nothing. Jing Shang's unit was not close to here, so she happened to pass by and mentioned it, but she didn't want to expose it.
They had lived together for ten years without feeling strange. Ever since Jingshang moved home and learned about Jingshang's special feelings for her, she felt all sorts of uncomfortable. The crowded subway, the jostling people, Jingshang's side
Holding the plastic bag while protecting her from being squeezed, his chest would occasionally touch her back, which made her feel as uncomfortable as being pricked by a needle.
The relationship between the two is like applying new paint to a dilapidated wall. No matter how smooth the surface is, it cannot change the bad facts inside. But even this superficial peace, Qiao Xinwei is trying her best to maintain it.
The phone suddenly vibrated. It was Jiang Hao calling, "Are you leaving? I happened to pass by the door of your company."
"I'm already on the subway." It happened to be passing by. Do men like to use this word?
"maybe next time."
"Okay, maybe next time."
Qiao Xinwei could feel that Jing Shang behind her was staring nervously at her phone. She wasn't sure if he heard Jiang Hao's voice. After hanging up the phone, she said to the back, "It's him, my boyfriend."
, Really, you didn’t tell me in advance if you wanted to pick me up.”
Jing Shang was speechless, feeling sad and looking unhappy, "You don't have to lie to me, you don't have a boyfriend at all."
The sound of the subway suddenly became louder. Xinwei could only see his mouth moving but could not hear the sound. She looked at him doubtfully, "What, brother, what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."
"nothing."
"Oh." Qiao Xinwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When I returned to my residence, there was a "under maintenance" sign in front of the elevator. I had no choice but to climb the stairs. Fortunately, their home was only on the third floor.
When he arrived at the door of his house, Jing Shang was not in a hurry to get the keys or ring the doorbell. He just slowly put the plastic bag at the door.
In the quiet corridor, she could hear Jing Shang sighing heavily, and her little heart couldn't help but tremble. In the past few days, she had been avoiding being alone with Jing Shang at home. The situation was not right now. She
He quickly reached out to ring the doorbell.
"Wait a minute," Jing Shang reached out and grabbed her hand, "I have something to ask you."
"If you have anything to say, let's talk inside." She struggled hard, but Jing Shang seemed to be working hard too, "Let go, you are my brother."
This deliberate reminder not only did not make Jing Shang stop, but actually angered him. He chuckled and said: "Brother, we are not related by blood at all. Xinwei, you don't have a boyfriend, you are lying to us."
