My boss hung up again

Xin Yitong failed to make it to the finals on the second day, and she failed to draw the bowstring for a whole year afterwards.

Her mother's knife full of prejudice and hatred did not cause any harm to Qiao Xin's chest, but it was accurately inserted into the right wrist of her precious daughter Jingui.When this scene happened, her mother froze in place in shock, looking at Xin Yitong who was dripping blood all over the floor and clutching her wrist so painful that she couldn't speak.

"Knife! Pull out the knife!" Her mother was about to draw out the knife when she came up, but Qiao Xin pushed her out.

Qiao Xin, who has always been gentle and polite, asked harshly for the first time: "Who told you that you can draw a knife at will, do you still want her hand?"

There was fear in her mother's eyes.

"Little Tong, hold on." Qiao Xin called an ambulance while supporting her.

The ambulance came, and all the coaches and teammates came.The head coach looked at the knife on Xin Yitong's wrist in disbelief, unable to say anything.

"Auntie, what happened? How did it happen?" The seniors of the archery team naturally knew the seriousness of this knife, and were very worried about Xin Yitong.

Her mother opened her mouth slightly, and only then did she realize that she had caused a catastrophe. She wanted to get in the ambulance and accompany her to the hospital, but Qiao Xin stopped her.Qiao Xin didn't show any sympathy: "Please stay away from her, or I'll call the police."

On the way to the hospital, Xin Yitong looked at the knife on his wrist without blinking.

The excessive blood loss has reduced the pain, and the pain does not make her feel too painful. She understands that the most terrible disaster for a professional athlete has happened to her.

"Joshin."

She weakly called Qiao Xin's name.

"I'm here." Qiao Xin immediately stepped forward to hold her hand.

"Will I not be able to shoot arrows anymore?"

Xin Yitong looked at her calmly, wanting to get an answer from the always wise woman.

She thought that Qiao Xin would say some high-sounding words to coax her, at least to temporarily calm down her emotions, but at that moment Qiao Xin showed the most genuine expression—sadness, pity, and the clearest helplessness.

She held Xin Yitong's left hand and kissed the back of her hand lightly: "Honey, I don't know either."

----------

Xin Yitong only said that she was unwell and retired from the competition. Her supporters wrote letters to comfort her, saying that she is still young and there will be opportunities in the future, so don't be depressed.Then for a whole year, this archery supernova seemed to disappear suddenly, no matter whether it was the domestic selection or the international competition, she was never seen again, and completely disappeared from people's sight without warning.

Time is like running water, whether it is deep belief or superficial love, it may not be able to survive several springs, summers, autumns and winters. Once the topical characters disappear for a while, they will soon be forgotten by people.

Xin Yitong's injury was naturally not fatal, and she was discharged from the hospital within a month, but the sequelae left behind were a huge shadow, making her breathless.

On the first day she was discharged from the hospital, she went to the archery range. She picked up the familiar bow and drew it to the full string. The moment she pulled it to the full string, she felt a dull pain in her wrist.

One arrow, miss the target.

The head coach asked her to rest for a while, don't worry.

"You are still young, and your injury will heal faster than others..." The head coach touched his nose, "Don't worry, if you can't catch up with this year's Olympic selection, there will be another four years. You know, your advantage lies in Age. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone has lows."

Listening to the head coach's logically chaotic and purely comforting words, Xin Yitong said calmly: "The doctor in charge said that it is unlikely that I will return to my previous competitive state. I think he is lying."

The head coach immediately echoed: "Well, no one can say for sure about this kind of thing, no matter how good cancer is..."

Xin Yitong said: "He did lie. It's not impossible, it's absolutely impossible."

Head Coach: "..."

As winter was approaching, Xin Yitong lay alone in the rented house without going out.

She cut off countless calls from her mother, and when she called again, Xin Yitong took her off the blacklist.

Someone knocked on the door outside, Xin Yitong thought it was her mother, and continued to lie on the sofa without moving.

"Xiaotong, it's me." Qiao Xin was standing outside the door.

"Don't you have the key?" she asked feebly.

"I have the key, but... I'm afraid to disturb you. May I come in?"

Xin Yitong didn't answer, Qiao Xin stood outside for a long time, and finally decided to open the door and come in.

"You didn't go to training today." Qiao Xin poured himself a glass of water.

Xin Yitong lazily changed the TV channel: "I'm going."

"Huh?" Qiao Xin was a little surprised, "You went? How was it?"

"They all missed the target." Xin Yitong said, "How can you shoot arrows when your hands are shaking like this? I actually went to seek humiliation..."

Qiao Xin squatted in front of her, holding her face seriously: "I know you are under a lot of pressure, but you can't be so negative. If you think you can't do it yourself, then there is really no one who can help you."

"Can someone help me if I think I can do it? Who can help me?"

Qiao Xin: "...I know it's difficult, but if you keep feeling like this..."

"No, you don't know." Xin Yitong turned over and turned his back to her, "No one knows except myself."

Knowing nothing but archery, since she was sensible, all her efforts have been for archery, which is all her future possibilities.Not being able to shoot arrows meant her future was cut off, her life crippled.

At the age of 20, Xin Yitong, who suffered a fatal blow at this age, let himself be depressed for a while.Mother was completely cut off from life, even Qiao Xin didn't want to see her.Qiao Xin was encouraged by her parents to be too optimistic and positive since she was a child. She couldn't see Xin Yitong's negative appearance due to setbacks.At the beginning, she was able to give advice and persuasion with a good temper, but after half a year, Xin Yitong was still the same, but she couldn't hold back, and became more and more anxious, and the conflict between the two escalated rapidly.

"Even if you can no longer shoot arrows and can do other things, there are many paths in your life, why should you block all paths? Take a good look at this world, not everyone can realize their ideals! Take me for example, my dream is to be a writer, but don’t I live well now?”

"Oh, I see."

Qiao Xin said a lot, Xin Yitong replied coldly.

Xin Yitong is no longer the glamorous and positive Xin Yitong that people like. Qiao Xin is tired and plans to quit her life.

"We are still good friends. If you need it, you can come to me anytime." Qiao Xin was also reluctant to part with her, and the decision to break up was also very painful for her.

Xin Yitong seemed to have been waiting for this day, she nodded silently, as always.

A year later, Xin Yitong tried to participate in the competition, but in that competition, without any accident, all her arrows missed the target, and she lost her name.

After retiring, she stayed in L City to continue her studies, and her mother lived alone in Lin City.As time went by, Xin Yitong released her from the call blacklist, but their relationship was still frozen.He hasn't forgiven her until now.

Xin Yitong, who is no longer an athlete, began to look for other ways of survival. After graduation, she entered the current cosmetics company and started as a bottom-level employee, working her way up step by step. When I was 28 years old, I met Wu Min.Wu Min used to be a subordinate of her department. When she first joined the company, she was very attentive to Xin Yitong, the team leader. She always stuck by her side no matter when she was on or off work. She said that she liked her very much when she was a child. Asked why she didn't shoot arrows anymore.Xin Yitong answered truthfully - because he was injured and could no longer hold a bow, he retired.

"Injured? Can I see the wound?"

Xin Yitong rolled up her sleeves and showed her the wound.

Wu Min caressed the scar on her wrist that she cared about so much, tears streaming down her face.

"Why are you crying?" Xin Yitong was puzzled.

"Such a deep wound, it must have hurt at the time. I gave up my dream because of the pain... Although this wound is not on me, I can feel the same. Sister, you must have experienced a very painful struggle, but unfortunately I was not there at that time I can't enlighten you by your side. I feel very sad when I think of this, if we can meet sooner..."

Wu Min's pursuit of Xin Yitong is very enthusiastic and direct. Xin Yitong didn't have any special feelings for her at the beginning, but as time passed, she felt that it was a good thing to have someone to accompany her. The most important thing is that Wu Min was enthusiastic but never guided her life. Although somewhat materialistic, it is very real.Xin Yitong accepted this emotion.

It’s just that the good times didn’t last long, and soon Wu Min used his relationship with Xin Yitong to get the best performance in the group and even in the department. After becoming famous in the industry, he was poached by another company, and he used his current company as a springboard with a double salary. , leave without nostalgia.When she left, she came to Xin Yitong to say goodbye, but Xin Yitong didn't blame her. After all, there are no lovers in the mall, and she has her choice.However, Wu Min gave Xin Yitong advice with the attitude of a winner:

"You really don't know the cruelty of modern society. Maybe you are still disappointed in your bones because you can't continue to be an archer? You don't fight for anything, and you can't even eat meat with you. If I am not smart, we will form a team Can we have the current performance? Look at the group next door to us, the bonus every quarter is enough to buy a car. If I were in your position, I would definitely be able to raise the performance of the group to a higher level. Unfortunately, you have been with me Staying on top of my head, not to mention the supervisor, even the team leader doesn't have my share, so I can't get my talent, so I had to choose another job, the facts have proved that I do have this value, don't blame me."

Xin Yitong nodded: "I never said I would blame you."

"Look, it's the picture that the whole world owes you, and you will never be successful in your life."

You will never be successful in your life.

This sentence is like a curse. On the surface, Xin Yitong doesn't care too much about Wu Min's rudeness, but this sentence has entered her subconscious, and she often thinks of it inadvertently.

Nearly thirty, she knew she couldn't go on like this forever.Since life is still going on, you should go all out.

Even if she can no longer draw the bow and shoot arrows, her hands and her life are still there.

Participated in the competitive battle of department heads in a hurry, and when Bian Yuan stood out, she was airborne as the head of the marketing department.

"The director of the North China region was created between you." CEO Yu Chen didn't mind stirring up a war at all.

At this moment, Xin Yitong was on fire.

The recovery of her work status temporarily put her old wrist injury behind her. She never imagined that one day life would pull her into the vortex once again.She thought that she would never have the chance to pull the bowstring again in her life.
