"Send these invitations to the planning department and let them make a decision," Situ Yu said. The planning department's vision was always accurate, saving him a lot of trouble.
"Yes." The secretary replied, and after finishing, he left Situ Yu's office.
Hong Zhen also walked out of Situ Yu's office with a happy mood.
At this time, Su Xinlei had returned to work from the hospital. She was sitting in the cubicle, preparing to start the day's work. Suddenly, the phone on the table rang without warning.
She took the phone and said, "Hello, Su Xinlei from the design department."
"Designer Su, I am Secretary Li. I will hold a press conference to celebrate the victory tomorrow. You must be prepared first."
"Oh well."
After hanging up the phone, she sighed, and suddenly felt a tremor when she thought of facing the media. She didn't want to appear in front of the media at all, but reality cannot be escaped, so she has to face it!
On this day, Li Lan and others flew back to China from Milan, and everyone was in a happy mood.
When we returned to China, we were notified that a press conference would be held tomorrow, so everyone got right into work without taking any rest.
As soon as Li Lan came back, she just said a few words to Su Xinlei and then started her work. When she got off work at noon, she didn't have lunch and went to the hospital because the hospital informed Chi Xuanran that she had woken up in the morning and was just
When she arrived, Chi Xuanran was still asleep. After asking some questions about her condition, she found that everything was fine before she left the hospital.
After walking out of the hospital, she went to a restaurant near the hospital to eat. While she was waiting for her meal, her eyes fell outside the window of the restaurant. Suddenly, a figure appeared in her eyes. When she looked closely, she saw that person's face. It was her.
A face that will never be forgotten in this life.
The man was dirty, with a yellow face and dull eyes. He was wearing tattered clothes and holding a snakeskin bag. He rummaged through the contents of the trash can and suddenly found a mineral water bottle. His eyes were dazzling and he held it as if he had found a treasure.
He put it into the snakeskin bag placed at his feet, and then continued to rummage.
Her feet stood up as if someone had cast a spell on her, walked out of the restaurant, and came to the man's side, but there were still a few steps away. She stopped and looked at the woman who was rummaging through the trash with a colorless face.
.
The woman may have felt the heat of someone's gaze, and couldn't help but look up. She saw a tall, fairy-like woman looking at her with a complicated look in her eyes. The woman looked at it for a while, with a look of contempt on her face, and then she took it back.
He looked at her and continued to look for treasure in the trash can, ignoring her presence.
Su Xinlei had been standing emotionlessly watching the woman rummaging through the trash, and the woman ignored Su Xinlei's look.
"Miss, your food is here." The waiter's voice came from inside.
"Okay, thank you!" Su Xinlei had no choice but to go in to eat.
While Su Xinlei was eating, she glanced at the woman outside. After the woman looked for this trash can, she looked for another one. After searching for the other one, she went to other places. When Su Xinlei saw this, she quickly checked out and followed.
The woman had been looking for the trash can. Although it was early autumn, the sun at noon was still very hot. The woman had nothing to cover her, and she continued to look for the trash. Su Xinlei followed the woman quietly, and the woman did not notice anyone following her.
She, after she found a full bag and could no longer hold the garbage she picked up, she stopped carrying the bag and walked in one direction.
Su Xinlei kept following the woman, and saw the woman walking into a very dilapidated and dirty place. Su Xinlei still didn't know that the seemingly bustling street outside had such a messy, dilapidated small house inside.
The woman walked into one of the small huts and dumped the garbage on the ground. There was already a lot of garbage. Su Xinlei stood at the door and watched the woman take out the garbage. After the woman took out the garbage, she found someone standing at the door, so she walked
Come forward.
"Who are you looking for?" The woman's voice was weak.
Su Xinlei didn't reply, just looked around, and saw tatters everywhere around the house, many of which were dusty and dilapidated. There was a bed in the house, and the sheets on it were relatively clean, but the clothes and sundries were piled on top of it.
Together, it looks very messy.
The garbage is also put together. Although there is a corner built into a fence, the garbage she picked up is piled inside. This garbage is likely to be sold regularly, so it must be piled up.
"Who are you looking for?" the woman asked again.
When Su Xinlei heard the woman's words, she cast her eyes on her. Due to the darkness in the room, the light from the door shone on her, illuminating her sallow face clearly.
As Su Xinlei's face was facing away from the light, the woman couldn't see Su Xinlei's face clearly.
"Do you live here?" Su Xinlei asked with a trembling voice, looking at the sallow face.
"What's the matter with you?" The woman didn't reply to Su Xinlei's question.
Su Xinlei knew that she didn't recognize her and thought she was looking for someone.
"I didn't expect you to be in such a situation." Su Xinlei said quietly.
When the woman heard Su Xinlei's words, she didn't understand why. Did she know her? But she didn't recognize her!
"Did you admit the wrong person?" the woman asked.
"I am Yaya." Su Xinlei said sadly.
"Who are you?" The woman's hearing was bad and she didn't hear Su Xinlei's words, but after thinking about it in her mind, she remembered that she had no other acquaintances.
The woman knew from Su Xinlei's dress that she was the beautiful woman who had just looked at her at the door of the restaurant, but she remembered not knowing such a woman.
"I'm Yaya." Su Xinlei said absently.
Her heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife. Although she had been beaten and scolded by her since she was a child, she never thought that she would fall to this point. She raised her for six years and finally threw her on the street. She didn't hate it.
Let them live, because she knows that their lives cannot go on.
"You are..., it's Yaya, it's really Yaya, you're still alive." Suddenly the woman's face flashed with a hint of joy, and there was also surprise.
"Yes, I am Yaya, I am still alive." She murmured.
"Yaya, my mother can't help you. I had no choice but to throw you on the street. At that time, your father was already addicted to gambling. Life couldn't go on anymore. The family couldn't open the pot, so I had to throw you on the street.
On the street, I hope someone can give you a bite of food, don't blame me." When the woman said this, her tone became weaker, and there was a look of shame on her face.
"Where is he now?" Su Xinlei heard about her adoptive father and asked him.
"He also goes out to pick up garbage now. Because of gambling, he owed a huge debt and had one of his hands chopped off. He later repented and stopped." The woman sighed.
Although the man gave up one of his hands, it was a great blessing to realize that he had changed his life again.
"Do you just live by picking up garbage?" Su Xinlei asked with a devastated look.
"If you don't pick up garbage, what will you do for a living? Your father is disabled, and I am a woman. I am already old, and no one wants to work. I can live a life without having to pick up garbage." The woman sighed.
When Su Xinlei heard about the woman's miserable life, she couldn't help but feel sad. She thought about how they took it out on her when they had no money. Beating and scolding were commonplace, but now that they are old, they are alone and helpless.
Seeing that Su Xinlei didn't say anything, the woman said again: "Come in quickly and sit down!" The woman quickly wiped the stool with her clothes and asked Su Xinlei to sit on it. In fact, she didn't know that the clothes on her body would be less dirty than the stool.
, but her actions showed that she was happy to see Su Xinlei.
Seeing her appearance, Su Xinlei couldn't bear to refuse, so she walked in without a trace of disgust on her face, sat on the chair that the woman had brushed by, and looked around.
"How did you end up like this?" She whispered.
"This may be God's retribution. We always beat and scolded you at first. In fact, I feel sad every time afterward. I raised you with my own hands. Even if you are not flesh and blood, I still have feelings after raising you for so many years.
But due to the circumstances at that time, I was depressed and couldn't find a place to vent. I could only use you as a vent. I'm sorry for you." After the woman finished speaking, tears came down. She felt sorry for her behavior.
"I have forgotten everything in the past." At this time, she felt no resentment towards them at all.
The woman was just crying silently. She was really ashamed of Su Xinlei now. If they hadn't been so cruel back then, they probably wouldn't have to live this kind of life now. Just look at Yaya's appearance and you'll know that Yaya must be a promising person.
.
Su Xinlei then took out a card from her bag, stuffed it into the woman's hand and said.
"There are 20,000 yuan here. Take it first. I have to go to work now and can't stay too long. I'll come see you when I'm free."
"No, no, we didn't raise you very much and even beat you. You can take the money back!" the adoptive mother pushed the card back to Su Xinlei.
Seeing this, Su Xinlei sighed helplessly: "Even if you raise me for a day, you have raised me. It is impossible for me to watch you live such a life. The password here is the birthday number you gave me."
The woman burst into tears. She really didn't expect Yaya to be so filial. The most right thing she did in her life was to raise Yaya.
"No one can live here at all. I'll go back and find a house. You guys get rid of everything here quickly. I'll pick you up when I find the house. This is my phone number. If you need anything, just call me. Do you understand?" Su Xinlei confessed.
.
The woman just kept crying and couldn't speak. Yaya was so kind and didn't dislike them. She was really a blessing from her previous life!
"Okay, I have to go back. Remember to get rid of these things quickly. I will pick you up in two days." Su Xinlei had to rush back to work.
The woman wiped her tears and nodded, and Su Xinlei walked to the door. She looked back at the woman before walking forward.
Su Xinlei walked out of those poverty-stricken streets with all kinds of feelings in her heart. She had never thought that she would meet her adoptive mother again in a place like this. Her downfall made her sad. The people she loved most were probably them, even though she was a child.
The memory left a shadow on her, but she didn't want to see them like this at all. Because she was immersed in a complicated mood, she didn't pay any attention to the people coming across.
