Life is more than just living

Chen Xu smiled happily in a sea of ​​flowers. Suddenly Han Yidao waved goodbye to her and strode away. Chen Xu chased after him and shouted, "Han Yidao, wait for me." But Han Yidao walked further and further away, and Chen Xu cried behind him. Said: "Han Yidao, don't leave!" Chen Xu was woken up by herself. She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with her hand and laughed at herself: "Chen Xu, I thought you would tell lies in your dreams!" Chen Xu looked at the time. It was already four o'clock in the morning. She sat up and turned on the light, took the competition questions and read them from beginning to end before getting up and washing up. After breakfast, the office informed Chen Xu that the prosecutor general and deputy prosecutor general would go to support their team members today. Let Chen Xu ride in the leader's car and go there together. Chen Xu changed his clothes and waited in the office on the first floor. The other two contestants had already rushed to the People's Hall.

The semi-finals were immediately followed by the finals, and the seats below were filled with audience representatives sent by various units. In the front row were relevant city leaders, and the TV station followed the entire process. The city leaders will conclude their speech and award awards to the winning units after the event. Liu Yihui secretly teased Chen Xu and asked, "How did you come here in the morning?" Chen Xu told the truth: "The office arranged for me to come here on the prosecutor general's car." Liu Yihui was envious, "If I had known this, I would have gone to the unit to come over." Chen Xu smiled and said nothing.

The morning semi-finals were very intense, and six teams were selected to advance to the finals. In the finals, the Procuratorate's team shined. Whether it was individual must-answer questions, collective must-answer questions, multiple-choice questions or rush-answer questions, they performed well, leaving their opponents far behind. Yan Donglin also changed from his usual wild and unruly behavior and performed brilliantly. Chen Xugan was a green leaf. Among the group must-answer questions, Liu Yihui and Yan Donglin could answer them. She would never take the initiative to ask for answers. She would only speak when she needed to add something. In Liu Yihui's words, the three people's cooperation was perfect.

At the end of the finals, the Procuratorate’s team was the well-deserved No.1. Wang Zhiqiang, Secretary of the Municipal Law Committee, made a concluding speech and presented awards to the winners. Because only one representative was sent to receive the award, Liu Yihui and Yan Donglin were eager to try. Chen Xu excused himself to change clothes and left the waiting area in a hurry. She put on her windbreaker and quietly walked to the door of the venue to wait. Listening to the awards march inside, Chen Xu felt no emotion in her heart. After what happened yesterday, she felt that she had to restrain her sharpness, otherwise her life would lose its peace. The ordinary life of ordinary people was out of reach. After leaving Han Yidao, Chen Xu was far away from the provincial capital. She is not a sloppy person. From now on, she will live a normal life. The time Han Yidao spends with her is like fireworks. It is beautiful, but it is the past, and from now on, she can only vaguely see it in her dreams.

Suddenly, the audience came out like a tide, and Chen Xu stood aside. She was waiting for the leader's arrangements or Yan Donglin's movements before making a decision to see whether everyone would go back to work or take a half-day break in the afternoon. The audience was gone, and Chen Xu suddenly received a call from Deputy Prosecutor Zhang Jian, "Xiao Chen, where are you?" Chen Xu said, "I'm at the door of the auditorium, ready to go back." Zhang Jian quickly said, "Don't leave now." Let's go, Lin Jian celebrates for you. Stay there and wait for us." About 5 minutes later, Zhang Jian and his party came out, and Yan Donglin called Chen Xu, "Chen Xu, take my car."

The car drove for about 10 minutes and came to a farmyard. Chen Xu was puzzled, and Liu Yihui whispered: "Don't think this is a rural area. The cooking here is very good. Leaders like to come here to eat. It is hidden here. You have to book in advance to eat. Only one table can be served at a time." Chen Xu was confused. Of course, it turns out that privacy is good.

After entering the room, the guests and the host were seated. Zhang Jian introduced Chen Xu to Wang Zhiqiang: "Secretary Wang, this is Chen Xu, the newly admitted civil servant of our unit. Not only is the girl good-looking, she graduated from a prestigious school and has a solid work style." He turned to him again. Chen Xu said: "Xiao Chen, this is Secretary Wang of our Longcheng Political and Legal Committee, who is in charge of the work of our Procuratorate. Chen Xu stood up and said hello to Wang Zhiqiang: "Hello, Secretary Wang. "Wang Zhiqiang also stood up slowly, stretched out his hand to hold Chen Xu's, "Chen Xu performed very well in the knowledge competition in the morning, and the other two comrades were also very good. Our Procuratorate is full of talents. Young people should work hard, you are the backbone of our procuratorate in the future," Chen Xu said lightly: "Thank you for the leadership's encouragement. "

Prosecutor General Lin Feng also followed Wang Zhiqiang's words: "These young people are all very good and have a bright future. Especially Chen Xu, the director of their political department highly respects her and speaks highly of her work." Chen Xu was on pins and needles. , after Wang Ran's unceremonious questioning yesterday, she felt that the leader was putting her on the fire. She secretly glanced at Liu Yihui and Yan Donglin. Liu Yihui's expression was a little unnatural, but Yan Donglin didn't react at all.

As the wine was served, Yan Donglin quickly stood up and started pouring wine from the leader. He knew this well at first sight. Chen Xu kept Liu Jingsheng's instructions in mind. On the way to send her to work, Liu Jingsheng said to her: "Chen Xu, remember, don't drink. No matter who persuades you to drink, you must insist that you are allergic to alcohol and don't let go. Remember. Once you are in When you pick up the wine glass on the wine table, it gets out of hand. From now on, you can’t even think about drinking. You are a civil servant and you don’t want to be promoted, so there is no need to become a bartender. You are good-looking, and you are more willing to find such an occasion. You’re accompanying me, so you must be firm and not drink.”

After Yan Donglin poured the wine for several leaders, he poured it for Liu Yihui. Liu Yihui did not object. Yan Donglin fell very slowly, intending to wait for Liu Yihui to stop him, but Liu Yihui never said a word. Yan Donglin had no choice but to fill it up. When they arrived at Chen Xu's place, Chen Xu covered the rim of the cup with his hand, "Sorry, I'm allergic to alcohol." Yan Donglin was about to give up when Wang Zhiqiang persuaded him, "Otherwise, try less red wine! The alcohol level is low." Chen Xu seemed sincere. She followed what Liu Jingsheng taught her and said: "I'm allergic to champagne, let alone red wine. I don't have this taste. Let me learn how to pour a bar!" Wang Zhiqiang didn't embarrass Chen Xu too much. He just said: "We are the public prosecutors. The lesbians on the front line are all heroines, you have to practice in the future." Chen Xu smiled and said nothing.

During the banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. What stunned Chen Xu was that Liu Yihui actually drank three glasses of liquor. She frequently raised her glass to the leader and spoke out loud at the scene, which Chen Xu felt was beyond her reach. Zhang Jian said to Chen Xu: "Xiao Chen, learn from Xiao Liu." Chen Xu said: "I am ashamed of myself. My body is not up to par and I lack acetaldehyde converting enzyme. I am ashamed."

After dinner, Wang Zhiqiang said he wanted to relieve his drunkenness, and everyone accompanied him for a walk. Chen Xu didn't want to go, but seeing Liu Yihui staggering and wanting to follow the leader, he had to help her. After a few steps, Liu Yihui ran behind a tree. Vomiting profusely, the sour smell of the mixture of food and wine made Chen Xuzhi nauseous. She patted Liu Yihui on the back and saw that her stomach was empty. She quickly took her back to the farmyard where she was eating to find water for her to rinse her mouth.

After a while, Wang Zhiqiang and his party came back. Zhang Jian heard that the driver said that Liu Yihui had vomited. He asked with concern: "You kid is too serious about drinking to be naughty. How do you feel now? Why don't you let the kitchen cook some for you?" Porridge?" Liu Yihui quickly shook her head, "Today's idea was to drink too quickly, and since I didn't have breakfast, drinking on an empty stomach would irritate my stomach."

While talking, the driver drove the car over, the leader got in the car and left. Chen Xu was surprised that Yan Donglin asked Chen Xu and Liu Yihui to take his car back. Chen Xu couldn't help but ask: "You have been drinking, can you drive?" Yan Donglin didn't care, "This little drink is nothing, you have to believe me He had no choice but to help Liu Yihui get into the car. Liu Yihui was listless along the way. Yan Donglin sent Liu Yihui home first. Chen Xu wanted to get off the bus nearby and said he would take the bus back, so he wouldn't bother Yan Donglin to drop him off. Yan Donglin refused and said, "I don't eat people. Why are you always avoiding me? Have you heard someone say bad things about me?" Chen Xu shook his head. Since going to work, Chen Xu has often had different opinions.

On the way back to the procuratorate, Yan Donglin turned to look at Chen Xu, "Chen Xu, can I chase you?" Chen Xu didn't even look at him, but shook his head slightly. Yan Donglin was not angry, and looked at Chen Xu again, "Can you tell me what's wrong?" Chen Xu looked ahead, "First, I don't look for rich people; second, I don't look for people with rich love histories; Third, I don’t look for people who drive after drinking." Yan Donglin laughed, "You still said that no one said bad things about me? You are just asking for it!" Chen Xu ignored him. When he arrived at the entrance of the procuratorate, Chen Xu thanked him and got out of the car. But he couldn't open the car door. Yan Donglin looked at Chen Xu seriously, "Chen Xu, seriously, how about you consider me? I won't force you to accept me right away, at least don't look at me with colored glasses. Give me a chance. Don't reject me thousands of miles away." Chen Xu didn't want to say more to him, "Sorry, I already have a boyfriend, please open the car door." Yan Donglin laughed, "If you had a boyfriend now, you wouldn't have done it just now. You would give me three reasons for not choosing me, but you would directly tell me that you have a boyfriend. Your subconscious reaction at that time was to tell me the reasons for not accepting me, but did not say that you had a boyfriend. The most reasonable explanation is that you don’t have one. Boyfriend, or once had a boyfriend and now broke up.”

Chen Xu had to admire Yan Donglin's logical thinking. She looked directly at Yan Donglin and said, "My three reasons for not choosing you are still valid. Please open the car door."

Chen Xu returned to the dormitory, took off his suit and put on his usual clothes. After sitting for a while, he sent a message to Li Chang saying that he was back and asked if there was any urgent work to be done.

After 2 minutes, Li Chang replied: There is no urgent work. I will get off work in more than an hour. You should rest for a while. You have worked hard these days.

Chen Xu picked up a bag hanging on the bedside railing. Inside was a scarf that had just been knitted. She set an alarm on her phone to avoid being late for dinner. Then she started knitting a scarf clumsily and without distraction. Time passed quickly, and when she had knitted less than an inch long, the alarm clock rang. She put down her knitting needles and went to the canteen.

There were only five or six people eating dinner. When everyone left one after another, Liu Yun came over and asked Chen Xu, "How was the competition?" Chen Xu told her that she won No. 1, and Liu Yun said proudly: "I just said that others are not as good as you." Come on! You are the best, and you have brought honor to our unit." Chen Xu said modestly: "It is not my fault alone, it is the result of everyone's cooperation." Liu Yun insisted on his point of view, "I know there are three people, don't Seeing that I didn't go to the scene, I know that you must be the best." Chen Xu pulled Liu Yun's sleeve helplessly, "Aunt Liu, you are the most partial." Master Lu came over and talked, "Aunt Liu, you are Ah, she likes the ones she likes a lot, but she doesn't even look at the ones she hates. Even though she is such a big person, she is still so willful." Chen Xu responded: "My Aunt Liu is not willful, I have a true temperament." As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Yun, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
