Life is more than just living

Chen Xu soon learned after going to work that only two people who were admitted to the Procuratorate at the same time as her went to work early. Chen Xu received the notice to go to work right after the public notice period ended, because the Political Department was too busy and needed manpower. Wang Ran, her colleague who passed the exam together with her, has been secretly complaining to Chen Xu in recent days: "We are really unlucky. Those who applied for positions in our hospital haven't started working yet. Even if they start working at the end of the year, their salary will be [-] cent." The money will be great. I didn’t expect that we would be assigned to such a bad department and have endless work to do all day long. I really regret it. Now I feel like a donkey working hard." Chen Xu smiled and was not satisfied. Echoing her words.

Wang Ran would be lazy for a while when Li Chang was not in the room. She saw Chen Xu working hard and said, "Oh, please take a break! There is no surveillance here. Let's take a breath! No one cares about us even if we are exhausted." , why are you working so hard?" Chen Xu looked up at Wang Ran and said, "Anyway, these jobs are all ours. Let's get some fresh air now. Otherwise, we might have to stay late at night. It's better to finish it earlier to save worry." But Wang Ran didn't think so. Working in the Political Department, it was easy to know how many people the Procuratorate had hired this year. Because he could clearly see everyone's information when he went to approve wages, Wang Ran felt very unbalanced. Originally, Wang Ran wanted to make Chen Xu an ally, but the two were not in the same league. She and Gao Jiaqi soon stood on the same front. Although she didn't dare to blatantly compete with Li Chang like Gao Jiaqi, when Li Chang assigned her some work, she put off doing it and didn't finish it in time. Because Wang Ran was also a new employee, Li Chang couldn't criticize her harshly, thinking it was a problem of ability. But as time went by, Li Chang discovered that this was not a problem of ability, but a problem of attitude.

In contrast, Chen Xu usually doesn't talk much and always works hard. He only speaks out when he asks Li Chang for advice when he encounters something he doesn't understand. Li Chang fell in love with this beautiful and steady girl more and more.

Originally, Chen Xu was in the young people's group, but she never spoke up. At first, she didn't have time, so she visited the group once or twice. Soon I found that I was not in tune with the tone of the group, so I stopped paying attention to the news in the group. This is because these young people always complain about being tired from work, and some people joke that they are social animals who are exhausted every day. Others, who are more moderate, call themselves migrant workers. Chen Xu didn't like to be coerced by their work attitude, because he worked hard to get this job. He studied for more than ten years just to have a job that he could live in and survive in the world, so he would not be bothered by this intensity at all. The work was miserable. After the people in the group complained, they said, "Money is a bastard, let's earn it after we spend it." Then they all went shopping to figure out what to buy, what to eat, or where to go. None of this had anything to do with Chen Xu, and she really had no interest in getting involved.

There weren't many people eating dinner in the workplace canteen, so every day after Chen Xu's meal Liu Yun would stay with her to chat. What Chen Xu didn't expect was that the couple who contracted the canteen actually knew so many things and were very well-informed. Although Chen Xu does not have a gossip heart, when Liu Yun tells her, she will listen carefully and understand some interpersonal relationships to avoid stepping into traps.

Although he had not been working in the Procuratorate for a long time, Chen Xu quickly gained recognition from director Li Chang. Not only that, even the leaders are familiar with Chen Xu's work attitude. After dinner, when there was no one else around, Chen Xu would help clean the canteen even if he didn't need to work overtime. Liu Yun often said in front of the leaders: "The new Chen Xu is good. This kid has a more beautiful heart." It seems that Liu Yun is a canteen contractor. She is well versed in the ways of officialdom. She knows that if she speaks well of Chen Xu in front of everyone, Chen Xu may be criticized. Liu Yun always took the opportunity to speak well of Chen Xu in front of his leaders.

Li Chang was full of praise for Chen Xu. Whenever there was a suitable opportunity, he said to the leader: "Chen Xu is a really good kid. He works hard and is not afraid of hardship. This young man is very rare."

Chen Xu feels that although the work is a little more arduous, it is still relatively satisfying. Li Chang takes good care of himself, and the aunt in the cafeteria is also very kind to him.

But that's life, it won't always be smooth sailing. One day when I was eating in the cafeteria at noon, a middle-aged man suddenly came over. I didn’t know which department he was from. He sat next to Chen Xu and said carelessly: "Chen Xu, yesterday we went to Beicheng to go to your dad's nightclub. Your dad is very open about things. When he heard that he was a colleague of you, he gave us a free meal." Chen Xu listened. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled unnaturally, said nothing, and continued eating. Two more people sat at the table next to them and joked: "Chen Xu, can we get free of charge if we go?" Chen Xu looked at them and smiled and said, "Then you have to ask the boss there!" The young man who spoke seemed not to have one. Sensing Chen Xu's embarrassment, he added, "Is it okay if we lift you up?" The middle-aged uncle who was exempted from the bill said, "It will work, it will definitely work. I just married Chen Xu."

Chen Xu wondered in his heart, he couldn't be exempted from the bill because of himself. Chen Xu remembered that he had gone to see Chen Zhigang and Zhou Fenglan during the political review stage, because the political review materials required proof of their non-criminal records. Chen Xu had a headache when he knew that he needed to provide these certificates. Because his parents did not have any patience and sense of responsibility for him, Chen Xu was afraid that they would not be willing to cooperate. Unexpectedly, everything went smoothly. Zhou Fenglan put down her work, immediately took her ID card and household registration book, and asked her husband to drive her there so that she could go faster.

When Chen Xu walked into the Dihao Nightclub, everyone inside looked directly at Chen Xu and Liu Jingsheng. Chen Xu was not even sure if Chen Zhigang was still here. When Chen Xu inquired, the doorman quickly called Chen Zhigang. When Chen Zhigang came out, Chen Xu calmly said to him: He was admitted to the civil service and now he needs to provide his parents' information for the political review. No criminal proof materials. Chen Zhigang was stunned for a moment and quickly asked where to drive. After Chen Xu finished explaining, Chen Zhigang asked someone to take Chen Xu to a private room to sit for a while. Chen Xu said that he could go together and take it away directly after driving. Chen Zhigang didn't force her. As he walked outside, he contacted people he knew and said carelessly: "My daughter has been admitted to the civil service and needs a certificate of no criminal record from me. Yes, it's mine. You can get it quickly." It’s here, the kid is in a hurry. I’ll go get it right away. Please hurry up. The kid is in a hurry.”

When Chen Zhigang handed the certificate to Chen Xu, she took it without saying a word, got into Liu Jingsheng's car and left. I thought that the two of them would have nothing to do with each other from now on, but I didn’t expect that my colleagues actually went to Beicheng to go shopping, and Chen Zhigang was able to give them a free bill. It must be Chen Zhigang who wanted to get into the relationship with the Procuratorate! Thinking of this, Chen Xu felt it was ironic that she suddenly lost her appetite and had leftover food for the first time.

During the video call with Liu Jingsheng in the evening, Chen Xu talked about this matter. Not wanting Liu Jingsheng to find it strange, he said: "Chen Xu, I have told you before, when you become a better person, you will be surrounded by good people. Chen Xu, I hope you will be happy every day Be happy. You don't have to forgive him, but don't let him affect your mood, okay?" Chen Xu smiled bitterly, "Okay! I promise you. Brother, I find that I am becoming more and more dependent on you. What's the matter? I want to tell you." Liu Jingsheng smiled and said, "Isn't that right? You are my sister." Chen Xu looked at Liu Jingsheng's face on the screen, "Brother, it would be great if I met you earlier!" Liu Jingsheng felt heartbroken. Looking at Chen Xu, "Silly girl, many things are destined. Maybe it was destined from the day we were born that we will meet one day. So don't regret not meeting earlier, we should be grateful that we did."

Hearing this, Chen Xu thought it made sense and nodded repeatedly, "Brother, you are right." After a moment of silence, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother, have you met Han Yidao recently? I sent him a message, but he didn't respond well. In time, and he hasn't taken the initiative to look for me recently. How is he lately?" Liu Jingsheng turned his face and looked away, "I saw it yesterday, and I also saw it today, what's wrong?" Chen Xu asked again, " How is he recently?" Liu Jingsheng said: "He is fine, maybe he is busy!"

Chen Xu was a little depressed. "I've been too busy recently. I wanted to go back to see him on Saturday and Sunday, but I always worked overtime and couldn't find the time." Liu Jingsheng glanced to the side unnaturally. Said: "Why are you a girl running around? Just work with peace of mind. He should be the one to see you. Girls should be more reserved."

After finishing the video with Chen Xu, Liu Jingsheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and cursed: "Han Yidao, you coward! You want to look at Chen Xu, but you have to hide from the camera. Are you tired? You let me stare here. Your eyes lie, you are really nothing!" Han Yidao leaned back on the sofa, "I don't want to either, but I don't even know what to say to Chen Xu."

Liu Jingsheng looked at Han Yidao and said, "Han Yidao, I really can't stand your mother-in-law and mother-in-law's attitude. You guys should do things straightforwardly, one is one, two is two, you are always so indecisive, this is not a scam. Really! Things are not that difficult. Don’t make a simple thing so complicated, okay? Just tell me whether you want to marry Chen Xu now? If you want to, take your ID card and household registration book to Longcheng to get the certificate with her next time. Accepted. If you can't make up your mind now, then make a decision as soon as possible. If you feel that you really can't give Chen Xu happiness, then break up with her early and don't hold her back. She's not too young anymore and will be empty by the end of the year. Already 27."

Han Yidao put his head in his hands, "I want to marry him, I have dreamed of it, but don't you know the situation now? Now they are joining forces to force me. Even if I run to Longcheng, can I be happy? Chen Xu will also be implicated by me. Why is it always so unhappy? My life is simply a bloody drama. It’s so boring. It’s so fucking disgusting. I feel like I was born with original sin. This is me. What can I do to make Chen Xu happy?"

Liu Jingsheng glared at Han Yidao, "You bastard! What did you say? Born with original sin, you blame your cowardice on original sin. This is irresponsible. You provoked Chen Xu, and now you are not sure. I I think this is a crime, a real sin! What did Jesus say? 'Your spirit is willing, but your flesh is weak'. You are not worthy of Chen Xu!"

Han Yidao buried his head very low, "You're right, I did shrink back. I want happiness too much, but I'm too afraid of not getting it. This worry about gains and losses has tortured me for a long time, and I don't want to go on like this anymore."
