Amorous Short Stories

Tao Yisu's bar opened soon.This is an old store, taken over from the previous owner.Under the management of the former owner, the bar's business was extremely deserted, and many people who came here were asking for directions.It's also not adjacent to the commercial street, and most of them are people who come to experience the style and then can't find the main road.The boss is from Chaozhou. Since he gave his son out and graduated, he has no interest in business. He plans to go home and leave the store cheaply.After taking over, you don't need too much preparation to start working.

Tao Yisu also has two helpers, one named Ding Xiaobao.Ding Xiaobao is 26, he is stupid and stupid, he also comes from there.

————————————————————————————————————————

When Ding Qing was chatting with Tao Yisu earlier, he said that this product was not good, and he was going to send him back.Tao Yisu asked casually what he was doing when he went back, and Ding Mushan said that he should find someone to marry, and it would be useless to have children.A group of people at the table laughed.It happened that Ding Xiaobao was helping Fang Musi to move the car. He just came in, handed over the key and said, "It crashed."

Fang Musi asked, "What happened?"

Ding Xiaobao thought for a while: "Fire hydrant."

Fang Musi's eyes widened: "Brother, I'll ask you to move the car to make way for others. How hard can it be? How many meters are there between the fire hydrant and the car? I can't hit it on purpose."

Ding Xiaobao lowered his head.

Ding Qing patted Fang Musi: "Forget it. I'll find someone to deal with it for you later."

Fang Musi waved his hand: "No need, there is a policeman in this area that I know very well."

On the way back after dinner, Tao Yisu asked Ding Qing if he could stay and help out at the bar.

————————————————————————————————————————

So Ding Xiaobao stayed.He is dark and tall, and he looks naive but not fierce. Although his hands and feet are a bit clumsy, at least he can do whatever he wants.Once a guest came and handed Zhang Baibai. Ding Xiaobao said he couldn't find it. The guest said he couldn't find it, so he could remember it first. He lived nearby. Ding Xiaobao said no, he couldn't find it. Come again.The guest was so angry that he switched back to Cantonese to scold him, but it was Bai Yu who comforted him away.

Bai Yu is a native of Hong Kong, a classmate of Little Apple, who came out to work to subsidize his life. He is 1.7 meters tall, has a pigtail, knows how to mix drinks, and is the main staff member.Tao Yisu came to the bar during the day, and if Bai Yu didn't go to class, he would come and teach him how to make drinks.Bai Yu also tried to teach Ding Xiaobao. He poured a few cups and knocked down two shakers. In the end, even the good-tempered Bai Yu almost lost his temper.Ding Xiaobao rubbed his hands and looked at the boss, Tao Yisu said, "It will be deducted from your salary."

It has been open for two weeks, and the main customers are still Ding Qing.Ding Qing likes it.

Ding Qing did what he said.He formally introduced Tao Yisu to the people around him. Usually, he would ask Tao Yisu to have lunch with him, and he seldom stayed outside at night. He hardly kept anything from Tao Yisu.Sure enough, he is a person who makes up his mind and will do it.

Tao Yisu is going to a dinner party with Ding Qing tonight, and Ding Qing will not take Tao Yisu to try on clothes until the afternoon because he has a meeting with Lu Qiao in the morning.

In fact, the day when the dinner party was confirmed happened to be the day when Lu Qiao returned.

That day, Tao Yisu went to school as Ding Qing's guardian, and Lu Qiao had just returned from the United States.

————————————————————————————————————————

The professor's office is older than Tao Yisu imagined.Tao Yisu showed the professor a photo of him and Mrs. Ding, saying that he was Ding Qing's "little uncle", but the professor had met Mrs. Ding several times at some conference.He guessed that Ding Qing was not so bold as to hire someone, so he began to speak in doubt.

Tao Yisu sat across from the desk and didn't dare to move it. This is a leather chair, and the sound it makes is unpleasant.The professor sat on a slightly higher chair, about sixty years old, with eyes on the bridge of the nose, raised eyebrows, and forehead lines on his forehead.Short and fat, wearing a brown linen plaid suit jacket, speaking with a nasal voice, stopping to move his throat from time to time, drinking saliva, and coughing lightly, maybe he has a cold.The professor said that he was going to eat at 11:30, so he took out his pocket watch to check the time while he was talking, for fear that he would forget the time if he was too absorbed in talking.He spoke very substandard Mandarin, and if he couldn't pronounce a sound well, he would frown and try again several times. Tao Yisu said that you speak Cantonese.The professor glanced at him, feeling a little impatient, and continued to speak Mandarin to himself, switching back to Cantonese when he was not fluent.

The professor finally talked about the grades, took out one from the bottom of the pile of documents, compared it with a list, and handed it to Tao Yisu, saying it was Ding Qing's thesis.Tao Yisu could only look backwards to make sure that Ding Qing was the last on the list according to his performance.

"Papers account for 30%, attendance is 20%, and final exams are 50%." The professor pressed his finger on Ding Qing's thesis. It goes against the essence of education, but in this case I have to ask, can Mr. Ding attend classes normally?"

Tao Yisu thought for a while: "There are many things at Ding Qing's family, and the school..."

The professor interrupted him: "Mr. Ding chose to enter the school, and he should act according to the standards of students. If it is so difficult to take care of it, as an adult, it is time for Mr. Ding to choose one side."

"Should I be deprived of an education because of my job?"

"Mr. Ding can choose to enroll on the job. I believe that kind of training program is more suitable for him."

Tao Yisu said nothing, this was not a decision he could make.

The professor took a sip of water, as if he was talking to himself: "Guodu people come here greedily, it's really a waste of desks and chairs..."

That's going too far.Tao Yisu leaned forward, pointed to the first name on the list, who looked like a mainlander: "Is this a mainlander?"

The professor drew back the list and put it in other files. He looked up at Tao Yisu, who was troubled, and saw off the guest in silence without saying a word.

Tao Yisu looked around, read the atmosphere, got up, said goodbye to the professor, and left.

Walking on campus, two students in yellow jackets and carrying bags asked Tao Yisu for directions.Tao Yisu didn't know either, but still chatted a few words. One of the girls kept dropping things, so Tao Yisu helped them find a way to send them there.These students are volunteers in charge of the "Yishan Auction". They have come to arrange the venue in advance and coordinate with the person in charge of the school.Ask Tao Yisu, unlike a student, if he is here for sightseeing.Tao Yisu shook his head and said he was going to have a meeting with his nephew.

Tao Yisu's cheap nephew was sitting in the cafe, relatively silent with Lu Qiao.

To be exact, Ding Qing was silent, drinking coffee leisurely, still in the mood to add milk balls to the coffee bit by bit, trying to get the best taste.Lu Qiao stared at the coffee noodles, pinching the handle of the spoon with his fingertips, kneading unconsciously.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Lu Qiao is the kind of girl who has always had ideas and ideas. At every stage of her life, she knows what she wants and has the courage and confidence to put it into action.Among Ding Qing and the others, this kind of quality seems to be a bit commendable.Lu Qiao also thought about it, Ding Qing's group is really not very motivated, she should make friends with more progressive people, but those people are too similar to her, and they will get bored if they get along with each other.

Lu Qiao originally wanted to study abroad in high school. She had a cousin who was two years older and went to Canada to study in high school. Every day he showed her how good life is without his parents, so she was very yearning for it.It's not that she particularly wants to spend time drinking and partying every night, she just wants to escape from her family.Due to various reasons, the trip failed in the end, but the seeds were planted. Lu Qiao started preparing for various English exams while others were reading textbooks. Unlike others, she studied Erhu, Grade [-].The text is written that in a small ranch in Lanzhou where my great-grandfather lived, Lu Qiao had a horse named "Kara".It was also very tortuous in the middle, Lu Qiao took the TOEFL test three times before he got the desired score.The second time it was too low, she and Ding Qing went out to eat, and cried while eating, the pressure was great.Ding Qing couldn't understand it completely, and didn't even know the full TOEFL score.And the idiot Ding Qing is purely friendly with her, watching her cry, eating by himself, even taking away the purple potato balls in her bowl, and only asking her if she needs a shoulder when she is almost finished eating.This is too old-fashioned, Lu Qiao didn't even bother to talk about it.

Later, Lu Qiao fell in love with Fang Musi, thinking about confessing to him on the day of graduation.

Everyone was drinking all the time that day, and Lu Qiao drank a few sips, mustered up his courage, and approached him.

Fang Musi was talking with Ding Qing and Qi Menggao.Fang Musi asked: "What's the difference with a man?" Ding Qing seemed to be in a low mood, and didn't want to speak up: "You try it yourself." Qi Meng was also very interested: "Tell me." Ding Qing Qing said: "Not so much foreplay." Fang Musi's eyes lit up: "Not at all or...?" Ding Qing shrugged: "Just... move your mouth, touch it up and down, and you'll get to the point soon .” Qi Meng listened to the lecture carefully, a hundred times more serious than in class.Qi Meng suppressed his voice: "Isn't that very fast?" The haze on Ding Qing's face was swept away, showing a smile that a man can understand at a glance: "That's not necessarily true, it mainly depends on the person." Fang Musi Laugh wretchedly along with him.Qi Meng rolled his eyes and moved away a little.

Lu Qiao walked over and said to Fang Musi, "Can you come out for a while?"

Fang Musi got a little dizzy from drinking, so he came out.

Lu Qiao has never been able to forget the scene of Fang Musi rejecting her. That scene was like a blow to the head, which broke her pitifully thin girlish heart. For the first time, Lu Qiao felt that men are very ordinary creatures. I've always felt that way.That scene was nothing special, but Fang Musi smiled drunkenly, revealing his true self: "Like me? You don't like me. You don't know me well. Why do you like me? People like you, yes You won't like me." Fang Musi patted her on the shoulder, sincerely: "We are people from two worlds."

Lu Qiao finally recorded Stanford, Ding Qing and the others were very excited and invited her out for dinner and drinks.At the dinner table, Lu Qiao said regretfully that he was not admitted to Harvard.Ding Qing and the others paused while holding the wine. Is this something that needs to be comforted?

Lu Qiao studied economics.Like the people around her, since she came here, she tried to integrate into the local life.In fact, this is not particularly difficult for her.Lu Qiao has a feeling of the second generation of Asians, which may be due to her spoken English and her accurate grasp of certain English stalks.Lu Qiao's appearance is also very Chinese, if you insist, it is similar to "stereotype".It is true that her eyes are slender, her face is not three-dimensional, her nose bridge is not high, nor white, she is indeed good at mathematics, and her chest is indeed flat.In terms of facial features alone, Lu Qiao looks ordinary, and she is a bit fierce when she doesn't smile. The only advantage is that her eyebrows, eyes and mouth are well proportioned, and when she smiles, she makes people feel very close.

In order to integrate, Lu Qiao joined many clubs.A local Chinese community, an astronomy club, a youth voluntary organization, and a band—they need a bass player, and it’s better to add something different, such as women, such as Asians.Lu Qiao has musical skills, bass is almost enough.

Even if Lu Qiao left home, he had no choice but to contact his family.Her father would often drink too much and tell her how much he spent on her, and there was something wrong with his body, and in the end he always had to abduct her back. .Lu Qiao was very worried after hearing it at the earliest time. At night, she cried and called her mother to ask if something happened at home and if her father was seriously ill.Mom comforted her and said no, he just wanted you to think of him well, and in the end they also abducted back to the question of why Lu Qiao couldn't settle down, her brother...

Lu Qiao always felt that his brother was mentally retarded.Ever since she was a child, Lu Qiao has been good at studies and sports, and she is better than her brother in everything, but her love, care and light have always been on her brother.Her parents would complain to her about any troubles, as if she brought them on.Her younger brother could only walk when he was a little over a year old. He still stuttered when he was a child, and when he grew up, he was poor at studying. He would cry first when something happened, and he could take everything he wanted directly from Lu Qiao.When she grew up, she went to college and messed around with investments. The money she lost was equivalent to her two-year stay in the United States, but her father didn't say anything.Ding Qing just didn't believe it when he heard this kind of thing. He knew much more about Lu Qiao's father's role in society than Lu Qiao's. He said that a person with Lu Qiao's father's status can't...

So Lu Qiao desperately wanted to be independent.

She moved out of school and into a shared house farther away, saving a lot of money.She has two roommates, both American.A male in his 20s from Colorado, who didn’t know why he came to San Francisco, was not in the house very much, and when he saw Lu Qiao wearing overalls, he insisted that she was gay.Lu Qiao hated him very much.The other is a local aborigine, a girl, a singer who recorded a backup for a certain record company, her working hours are irregular, and she spends most of the night in nightclubs.Sometimes I would bring back a male companion. One male companion didn't like to wear clothes and walked in the living room with his buttocks naked, which shocked Lu Qiao.Lu Qiao talked frankly with the natives, and the natives apologized and said that there would be no more, and it really didn't happen again.

Generally speaking, Lu Qiao and the natives got along pretty well, both of them were in a hurry, frank and straightforward.The native invited Lu Qiao to go to the nightclub with her, and Lu Qiao went.After going to a very popular nightclub, Lu Qiao specially put on makeup to make her eyes look radiant. She changed out of her jeans for the first time and queued at the door for an hour and a half.When she was put in, Lu Qiao handed her her driver's license, but the bodyguard let her in without looking.Lu Qiao was wearing a wristband, and the native asked her how much she paid, but Lu Qiao said she didn't, and there was a question about the entrance fee.The natives are a little proud, saying that beautiful girls don't need to pay money.Lu Qiao couldn't deny it, she wasn't very good-looking, it was just that her skirt was short today.

The aborigines got the attention of the people in the VIP area. There was a basketball star and his rap star friend in that area.The aborigines took Lu Qiao to go together, and the bodyguard in the VIP area gave him another wristband.The native was chatting with the football star, Lu Qiao was sitting on the sofa alone, and two men walked over winkingly, sitting next to her, one on the left and one on the right, and wanted to buy her a drink.Lu Qiao still understood this point, she raised the wine in her hand, indicating that she didn't need it.The men approached and approached recklessly, asking her where she was from.Lu Qiao felt very bored. These two thin and drunk men were also unpopular guys. Looking at the Asian woman sitting alone, it seemed easy to get started...

Lu Qiao told them to leave, she was confident that she had this aura.The man on the left looked at her for a few seconds, and they left together.

Lu Qiao mentioned it later when he called Ding Qing, Ding Qing was a bit busy there, and the focus was completely off: "Damn, it's okay to go to a nightclub, we should also rectify here, some places are really fucking messy , I feel confused...Girl, reflect on yourself, are you too difficult to get along with? Ah?...Wait a minute, who just fed my Dongfeng?"

Lu Qiao was very displeased with Ding Qing's side that focused on women's rights, and he hung up the phone after hearing that he didn't care about it.

She and Ding Qing were childhood sweethearts since childhood, Ding Qing is the kind of person with a big heart.Ding Qing is often the core of a small group, and Lu Qiao feels that this is not an agreement, but a custom.Among a group of childhood playmates, there will always be such a character. It is not that he is generous and benevolent, but more like the "charismatic authority" mentioned by Max Weber. the role of the judge.He rises in some small and special occasions, such as keeping calm when everyone is flustered, making a decision when everyone is helpless, and standing up when no one is responsible.After such a moment, Ding Qing gradually became a leader. This is a positive feedback adjustment. The more he is trusted and admired, the more experienced he becomes a more qualified leader. This may be the most primitive and simple leadership training course.If the person's ambition and background are deep, charisma and authority complement each other, creating a rising tyrant.

Lu Qiao is a person who does not admit defeat and completely ignores gender differences. She also has ambitions and a desire to control, and she also wants to be a leader. She has always had a strange jealousy and a wonderful dependence on Ding Qing.Treated like a brother.

Although Lu Qiao probably has a feeling that Ding Qing is popular, but because he is too familiar, he still doesn't know the reason.I remember that in an English class, the teacher asked the boys and girls to write to each other the most admired opposite sex in the class. Chinese or English names are fine.Ding Qing's English name is Alex.Boys' answers are very scattered, and everyone can write about it. Girls' answers are very concentrated, and Alex is the majority.The teacher asked Ding Qing why so many girls wrote about him. Ding Qing said with a normal smile, "Probably because my name is easy to write." At this time, Lu Qiao noticed for the first time that the people she grew up with looked like others. It's not the same here.

Once Lu Qiao and Ding Qing were waiting for Luo Dafei at the back door of the school. Lu Qiao had just learned to smoke and lit it, Ding Qing was surprised.After taking a few puffs, she heard someone calling her from behind, Lu Qiao hurriedly lowered her head and blew out the smoke, then stuffed it into Ding Qing.Ding Qing took it in a daze, and turned around to see the two girls in Lu Qiao's class.The girl came over with a smile and told Lu Qiao that all the homework was collected, then she turned to Ding Qing and talked to him with a flirty smile.This kind of teasing between men and women between students is actually flirting.They said that Ding Qing smoked in front of Lv Qiao, leading all the class representatives down.Ding Qing glanced at Lu Qiao, then put the cigarette in his mouth, and said with a playful smile, "How about it, have a bite?" The girls laughed, one hit him on the left arm and the other on the right arm a few times, Hearing the bell, he left.Ding Qing pursed her lips, rubbed her sore arm, looked at the back of the girl who left, and said to herself, "You must be sick."

Lu Qiao was unhappy, she didn't dare to smoke, and she didn't dare to live a comfortable life like Ding Qing or her brother, she had to behave properly, she had to be excellent, as for why, she didn't want to think about it.

She originally thought that Ding Qing would be ignorant, wandering, and happy forever until something happened to Ding's family.

She tried to contact Ding Qing, who was always reluctant to talk on the phone.Ding Qing was completely reborn, when he met her, it was as if a new creature had struggled out of the original shell.His tendency to control became stronger.Although Lu Qiao had this feeling before, Ding Qing would habitually lead the topic and atmosphere, but now others have changed to a more mature way, he can listen to other people's words completely, and then adapt to the situation.Because the people Ding Qing came into contact with were no longer students with no social experience, this was learned from conversations with more mature people. Lu Qiao wondered if Ding Qing would deliberately contact social people.

After Lu Qiao tried to integrate into life, she soon became bored. She made friends with the aboriginals and other aboriginal friends, and everyone was of the same type. After the party at night, she posted photos on ins, and after exercising, she ate a small cake. After posting a photo, the aborigine went to the dentist, posted a post about toothache, and then added a few selfies with filters.

Lu Qiao gradually wanted to put her focus back on school. As an economics student, her main skill was social.She quit the band and the astronomical club and started trying to find an internship.She prepared early and had a good relationship with a professor. She got a letter of recommendation, did an internship at Maifu, and followed a TV network company's marketing transformation project.It was already in the middle and late stages when she joined, and she changed to PTA not long after she did it because of the course. After completing the course, Lu Qiao realized that consulting was not the career she wanted.Her second foray was investment banking.She submitted her resume to several large investment banks, and her resume was linked to GS, while JPM was dismissed, and MS was finally rejected.She could go to the "Open Day", but Lu Qiao didn't really want to go. The Open Day was for her to see the company, not for her to enter.She was not reconciled, and she did not leave New York for the time being, flipping through the college's alumni association information, hoping to find seniors.There is a brother surnamed Chang in MS who is not only a senior at Stanford, but coincidentally, both junior high schools are in the same school.

Lu Qiao tried to contact his brother on LinkedIn, but to no avail.Then I tried to send an email to his work email.A day later, I received a reply letter, and my brother invited her out for a cup of coffee.The senior brother is a nice person, and he also has the heart to support the junior sister, and advised her not to underestimate the "Open Day".The senior brother told her that there will be a banquet in two days at Damo, and that a person in the company won an international kayak competition, and it happened to be the night of the open day. If she hasn't returned to school, she can come and see it.

Lu Qiao still dressed up that night, but when she was doing it, she felt sad that she was not very good at dressing up.When we arrived, we found out that it was nothing. After all, it was not a formal party, and everyone was not dressed grandly.The senior brother probably pointed out someone to Lu Qiao, and then went back to the conversation in his department.Lu Qiao was insignificant, she exuded the air of a rookie, and no one came to her, so she had to try to talk to someone.She was very embarrassed, and didn't know how to cut into other people's conversations. Should she walk over and listen, and talk when she can interject?Or do you offer to say, "Can I join your conversation"?Lu Qiao finally chose the first option.She listened to several conversations, mostly stalking and walking away because the topic was unfamiliar to her or too professional.Until a certain group of people were talking about a concert, Lu Qiao interrupted, and her roommate also attended that concert...

Lu Qiao, who received positive feedback, was in a good mood, and she finally captured the free time of a big boss.The boss had just finished a phone call and was flipping through his phone. Lu Qiao seized the opportunity and slipped to the boss's side, thinking it would be good to just introduce himself.After listening, the boss politely shook hands with her.Lu Qiao half-jokingly said that there were too few alumni at the banquet, and most of them were from NYU and C University.The boss smiled and said that she hadn't seen much.Lu Qiao mentioned his failure experience, and asked the boss if there was something wrong with him, and he felt inappropriate after asking.Sure enough, the boss just said lightly that he can try again next time.Lu Qiao thought it was over and it was time to pack up and go back.As a result, the boss stopped for a while when he was leaving, and asked her if she had any work contact information.Lu Qiao was taken aback, and hurriedly reported himself to LinkedIn, but the boss shook his head and said no need for this.Lu Qiao took out her business card - which was uniformly made by the school - and handed it to the boss. The boss looked at the "Stanford" printed on the head, smiled, and took it away.

Later, Lu Qiao got the internship and came to New York to rent a house.The roommate is a Chinese girl who finished her master's degree and is looking for a job and trying to stay in the United States.

The content of the work is much more backward than Lu Qiao imagined. She is related to the project, but she can't get in touch with the very core—or what she thinks is the core—things.I feel like I am watching an F1 race. There are races, commentaries, and logistics. She is like a spectator, and occasionally helps to clean the car.Lu Qiao also mentioned this when she met her senior brother and their alumni later. The senior brother blushed from drinking, and persuaded her: "You are in a hurry. Everything has a process, let alone an internship, even if it is a full-time job. , There must also be a process of learning and accumulating slowly.”

Lu Qiao was a little melancholy: "The intern from the University of Chicago in our department didn't turn out to be a trading platinum business. I heard that he earned 500 million. He is more like a banker."

The senior snorted through the alcohol: "What's the matter with 500 million, when will a trader be considered a banker."

Lu Qiao sighed: "Then why do you need this process? Where does this process lead to?"

The senior thought for a while, but his tongue was not very straight, but his eyes were bright: "We work now, nothing more than relying on technology to make a living and rely on technology to accumulate funds. It is funds, not capital. Only by racing against life can capital accumulation be accumulated. One day, I can accumulate wealth. At that time, I will get rid of life and work, and be higher than life. Higher than life, do you understand?" The senior still shook his head while talking, "Anyway, I think so...freedom is too expensive Well, it’s not like I was born with everything. I have to rely on my own efforts to complete the entire process of capitalist society. It’s really boring to think about it..."

Lu Qiao was speechless.She suddenly discovered that she seemed to have completed this process since she was born.To be precise, her previous generation completed this process, and she was born at the end of the struggle—in terms of worldly values.Then there is no point for her to do these things. Her parents hope that she will go home obediently and marry a relationship that she may not like but at least be stable and wealthy. The day she gets married safely, her parents will no longer have any demands on her.For people like Senior Brother, such a choice is not a bad idea. Marriage does not have to be perfect. Under the conditions of prosperity and happiness, if people don't force themselves to be artificial, they can definitely live without love.Flying on the wings of money to surpass life, this choice, for Lu Qiao, her anxiety, entanglement, hard work, and resentment are all nothing but mediocrity and a waste of life.

Lu Qiao thought a lot, but could say very little.It was never possible for her to discuss these things with her roommates.Her roommate's visa is coming soon, and she will go back if she can't find a job. For her family, coming to the United States to study is indeed a big event, and many people are watching her.Her roommate was in dire straits, and Lu Qiao comforted her not to worry. The roommate said: "That's better than a classmate of mine. He came here to study, and before he graduated, his father fell ill and fell ill. He spent a lot of money and his business was no longer good. Here He couldn’t afford it at all, he went back before he even finished his studies, he had to take care of his father, and he had to pay back the money, I really don’t know how he will live in the future..." The roommate finally got a job at the Big Four, and Lu Joe congratulated her, but she was not very satisfied.She came to a foreign country, and finally got into the Big Four. Domestic students can also get in, and she thinks the comprehensive treatment is better than her...

Lu Qiao looked at her and felt that the two of them were very similar, people who would never be happy no matter what.

Lu Qiao hastily ended her MS internship. She was arrogant and anxious, eager to do some core things, as if this way she wouldn't have to be a subsidiary.The boss is a bit disappointed, Lu Qiao is very useful, he is always very serious when reviewing financial reports, he doesn't look tired after working overtime for a long time, and he doesn't say anything about temporary business trips, even if there is a school conflict, he can arrange it by himself.But Lu Qiao wanted to leave, and the boss didn't say anything.

She went to a small investment bank and got more opportunities and attention.The boss is a pleasure-seeking person, his commuting time is not fixed, and he often brings all kinds of little girlfriends here. Helicopters come and go, parked on the roof, and Lu Qiao can feel the building trembling while sitting on the chair. .The boss pays great attention to pretense, loves to talk about life principles from time to time, and struggles with his own success.Lu Qiao was very speechless. The boss's father was engaged in foreign trade in South America.The boss always said that if Lu Qiao worked hard for twenty years, he would become a person like him.Later, the boss suddenly asked Lu Qiao to be in charge of a project. Lu Qiao was very happy and felt that it was time for him to show his skills.It was later discovered that the boss had learned about the situation of her family from nowhere, and wanted her to help connect the project with the Chinese side.No matter how awkward Lu Qiao felt, this was a good opportunity.She went home and tried to communicate with her dad business-like, but it ended in a fight.Her father is the actual person in charge of a company with a Chinese prefix. Together with her boss and a few private equity funds, they plan to set up a clean energy joint-stock company.It stands to reason that she was the contract, but Lu Qiao had nothing to do with the middle and subsequent matters.She felt like a pimp, the undivided kind.

Lu Qiao didn't do the job either.She is huddled in her apartment, and her roommate has moved out.She thinks about her life, then has a nervous breakdown.

Lu Qiao may become a carefree and happy person, like she wants to join the band, like she wants to learn to smoke, like she wants to make friends with Ding Qing.But when she didn't know how to choose, she got angry and became who she is now.She wants to be the leader, she wants to be the master, she is compulsively tense, habitually competitive, never satisfied, never happy, difficult to get along with, hates everyone and doesn't like herself.She was young, but she felt that she had no time; she wanted to prove it to her parents urgently, but felt that "proving" was sad enough.She can't talk about herself with anyone, and she will always be a heroine in front of others, and no one will sympathize with her.Just like Ding Qing and his roommates, they felt that what Lu Qiao had was good enough.She clearly recognized what her parents had done to her, and her parents would never understand.They love her, but care about her; they care about her, but ask for something in return; they treat her well, but always compare.Their emotions are too torturous.

Lu Qiao hopes that her father is a hero or a villain, no matter which one, things will be much easier.But he is not.He is a party member, and he cries while watching the military parade; he curses when the weather is bad; he deals with matters at the top, and if the business is not good, he takes care of it; he has a protruding waist and can't sleep in his lap at night, but he doesn't say a word of complaint; employees will take care of their families when they have accidents. He said that he didn't want to spend money on Lu Qiao, and it was never too late to send money; he said that Lu Qiao was the most promising person in the family after drinking too much, but when he was sober, he thought Lu Qiao was spending his money; When I got home, I clamored for her to call home, and when I got through, I didn't speak, and I said nothing good, and when I hung up, I thought it was expensive.Lu Qiao tried to communicate with him, but all ended in quarrels without exception. Dad was irritable and irritable, couldn't listen to what others said, smashed the dishes all over the floor, and then got so angry that his heart ached. Mom and brother would blame her.

There is no way out.

Once drinking with Ding Qing, Ding Qing had touched the edge of the realm of lifting weights as lightly as possible, and he had already cultivated to the point where he seemed to be no different from his early years.They drank wine and chatted casually. They didn't know what they were talking about. In the end, both of them were silent in tacit understanding.Ding Qing drank a little too much, and patted her on the shoulder without warning: "Girl, you are smart, beautiful, fierce, ambitious, and indomitable. I like you, and you should like yourself." Then Ding Qing was caught by the side called away.Lu Qiao was a little moved, she thought, popular people really have reasons for being popular.

Lu Qiao still lives alone, but fortunately her internship salary is not enough, so she doesn't care much about the family asking for money for the time being.She stayed by herself except for class.She found that although she was usually able to mingle with people around her, no matter foreigners or Chinese, she did not socialize passively.People always hate passive socializing and find it troublesome, but when it comes to her, she is really lonely.As a foreign friend, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to contact others for a period of time, no one will think of her, as if she has been forgotten.Domestic friends are busy with their own business, and the distance has blocked the friendship that was thought to be solid.At this time, she felt that she had failed in life.Smart people are everywhere, and the supply of good people exceeds the demand.She wants to get things done but is impatient, wants to socialize but doesn't like people.Like a broken motor, I worked hard and got tired.Sitting on the sofa with the lights off, watching a very old sitcom, and eating a bowl of oatmeal.

Ding Qing's news arrived at this time."Come back and do me a big favor," he said.

Lu Qiao looked at it, ignored it, and continued watching the TV series.

After the two episodes were over, Lu Qiao turned on the lights, turned off the TV, packed up his things, and booked a plane ticket.She washed her face, faced the mirror, tried to open her eyes, and waited for her spirit to return slowly.She carefully looked at her face that she hadn't paid much attention to, and felt that the effect of the laser surgery was not very good, so she used tweezers to pluck out the hairs on her mouth one by one, put on a mask, and slept.

Too much self-awareness.Can't take my eyes off it.alone.Do not accompany.The whole figure is like a bow stretched full.

Wake up and go on.

go to Hong Kong.

Might get a cat, she's always wanted a cat
