Great rival system

Zhong Jingsheng has always been the so-called "good boy from other people's family" since he was a child. He didn't let his parents worry about him very much.

Zhong's mother, Zhong's mother, is an intellectual with an open mind. She didn't even blush with him when he chose to become an actor. However, if it was about sexual orientation, Zhong Jingsheng felt that most parents might not be able to accept it for the time being.

"What's the matter?" Zhong Ma turned her head away from the TV and smiled, which made him a little bit reluctant to shatter this false happiness.

An obedient and good son, a beautiful daughter-in-law, maybe in a few years, he will be able to embrace a lovely grandson. This is probably the most heartwarming scene in the minds of most parents...

"I have something to tell you." Zhong Jingsheng buried his face in his palm, not daring to look at his mother, "I like men."

There was a moment of silence over there, Mother Zhong thought he was joking, and smiled awkwardly, "Is today April Fool's Day?"

"There are no holidays today." Zhong Jingsheng raised his head, "I'm sorry, I kept it from you because I was afraid you would find out that Alice is not a girl, he is a man."

"..." Mother Zhong froze for a moment, looked at the pretty girl on the TV screen, but refused to accept this absurd truth, "How is it possible, today is really not April Fool's Day?"

She doesn't discriminate against homosexuality, but she never imagines this happening to her son.

"I'm sorry, Mom." Zhong Jingsheng's eyes were red, "I know you may not be able to accept it for the time being, I'm going to live outside for a few days, if you have anything to do, you can call me."

Zhong's mother said "Oh" in a daze, her mind was still a little confused, Zhong Jingsheng went to the room to pack a few clothes, stuffed them into the travel bag and brought them out, said goodbye to his mother, "I'll go to live at a friend's house first."

The tone was as flat as an extremely ordinary trip, but only he knew how fast his heart was beating just now, how heavy his steps were, and the moment he closed the door behind his backhand, tears flowed from his eyes.

From the beginning to the end, his mother never scolded himself, but the sense of self-blame in his heart had completely overwhelmed him.

It's like when I was a student, I occasionally performed abnormally and failed to get the first place in the exam. Although I knew that my parents would not blame me, I still felt that I had let down my parents who cared about me.

Why do I have to let my parents down again when I grow up...

During the few days when he was staying away, his mother didn't call him. Zhong Jingsheng knew that he needed to leave his parents a buffer space.

The vacation the company gave him was short-lived. A week later, he took a plane to attend the award ceremony. The movie "The Crane Returns" he participated in was nominated for the best actor. Very authoritative, it was the first time he got it since his debut, but he couldn't share this joy with his parents.

Ji Yin couldn't rush over due to physical discomfort. Zhong Jingsheng's tone was as gentle as ever when talking to him, but Ji Yin could sensitively hear that he was in a bad mood, "What's wrong with you, Shengsheng? Are you not happy that you won the award?"

"It's nothing."

Zhong Jingsheng felt that it was better not to let Ji Yin know about it for the time being, and he was also afraid that the attitude of his parents might hurt Ji Yin.

He didn't feel that he and Ji Yin had made any mistakes, they were just in love.

……

"Cough cough..."

Ji Yin sat on the bed and took medicine. He had influenza, and the virus came too fast like a tornado.

so painful QUQ

【mwah】

"It's useless to touch it, I'm going to die, it's so uncomfortable, Hajiu—"

While he was complaining, the system suddenly said quietly: [By the way, the flu has been so severe recently, and the body immunity of the second target, Ms. Zhou, has also plummeted. ] "Sister Zhou?" Ji Yin raised her head from the tissue, "Is she catching a cold too?"

[Yes, but she is very strong, and she still insists on working even when she is so seriously ill. 】……

"Zhou Jiacheng, Miss Zhou, I beg you, stop working..."

In the office, Xu Murong looked at his fiancée bitterly, "Do you know that because you divorced some time ago, everyone in the company is looking at me with strange eyes every day, I am wronged! Someone said that I was cuckolded Yes, some people said that I was impotent, and that my fame was ruined in your hands, but you never showed up to explain it! Are you still a woman, and where is your maternity glory?!"

"I don't have a son as old as you." Zhou Jiacheng adjusted his glasses calmly, "It's okay if you want me to explain. The reason for the divorce is very simple, because you are too stupid, and I'm afraid of being infected."

"You have a poisonous tongue!" Xu Murong pointed at her excitedly, "I'm a brilliant student."

"A high-achieving student whose projects fail again and again?" Zhou Jiacheng spread her hands and said mockingly, "If you didn't have your uncle's so-called well-known alumni relationship, you wouldn't even be able to enter the school."

"Damn woman, you use me!" Xu Murong patted the table and stood up, "If you have the ability to spit out the shares you owe me!"

"It was signed by you voluntarily." Zhou Jiacheng hugged her chest, "That's why you're stupid."

"Ah... I'm so mad!" Xu Murong was furious, "Don't think that I dare not hit you because you are a woman!"

"Come here." Zhou Jiacheng calmly broke her knuckles, "Can you beat me?"

"...I can't beat it." Xu Murong wept silently in his heart, "But it's wrong to lie, you hurt me, and you just laughed it off."

"Okay, I'll compensate you after a while." Zhou Jiacheng waved his hand, as if to chase away flies, "I'm not competing with my brother recently? When I get to the position, I will have more rights to control .”

"But... your parents have always favored your brother..." Xu Murong stopped suddenly, "I know you are more capable than your brother, but sometimes the older generation's ideas are difficult to change."

"You're very noisy." Zhou Jiacheng frowned suddenly, "Get out for me."

"Be kind as a donkey's liver and lungs." Xu Murong snorted from his nose, he was too lazy to care about the life and death of this violent woman.

……

A few days later, Xu Murong suddenly received news that Zhou Jiacheng had fallen ill due to working hard for days.

Although he said that he didn't care about the woman's life or death, but the shares were still in her hands, Xu Murong finally went to the hospital to see him with integrity.

As a result, when he first arrived at the ward, he was blinded by the scene in front of him.

"Does it look good?"

Zhou Jiacheng was sitting on the hospital bed, and was knitting flower ropes emotionally, "It will be in the shape of a flower."

She tied the braided flower rope in Ji Yin's hand, "According to the legends of Southeast Asian countries, tying this kind of flower to your hand can bring you unexpected good luck."

"Yeah..." Ji Yin nodded obediently, and made one herself, "I'm giving this to Sister Zhou."

"Good boy." Zhou Jiacheng stretched out his arms to hug him, "You are my sister's little angel."

So what am I... an eyesore light bulb?

Xu Murong walked in viciously, and Zhou Jiacheng immediately hugged Ji Yin, "What are you doing here?"

"Brother Xu..." Ji Yin timidly hid aside, even though it had been so long, he still felt a little embarrassed when he saw Xu Murong.

"You scared Xiaoyin." Zhou Jiacheng frowned, "Xiaoyin, go out first."

Xu Murong: "..."

"Oh, fruit." Zhou Jiacheng looked at the bag of fruit in his hand, "I don't like it."

"Eat it or not, I'll put it here, you can do whatever you want." Xu Murong smashed the fruit on the table, turned around and left.

"That, Brother Xu—"

When walking out of the ward, Ji Yin suddenly yelled at the door, "Can you come with me?"

"Huh?" Xu Murong followed suspiciously, Ji Yin stuffed a stack of things into his hands, "This is sister Zhou's medical report, I secretly took it out."

Respiratory infection, pneumonia...

Xu Murong's eyes darkened. Is that woman's condition so serious?

"I know, you have known each other since you were very young, although your relationship has become very bad after you grow up..." Ji Yin lowered her head and said: "She just told me that when her health is a little better, she will continue I don't want to see her work so hard. After all, no matter how powerful she is, it's not made of iron... But I can't persuade her, because she only treats me like a child, and adults may not necessarily listen to what children say. If you can, please help persuade her."

This was Ji Yin's first formal request to him after the breakup.

Sitting on the stone steps outside the hospital, Xu Murong suddenly remembered the first time he saw Zhou Jiacheng when he was a child.

"This is Chengcheng." His mother held his hand, and pointed to the beautiful little girl standing opposite with a smile, "Chengcheng is the little sister, you are the big brother, you have to protect the little sister."

"Oh." The little Xu Murong walked over blankly to show his friendship, "Do you want to pile sand together?"

Zhou Jiacheng glared at him, "Childish."

"What do you mean childish?" Xu Murong didn't know how to read yet, and Zhou Jiacheng was already memorizing English words.

"Hey, hey, aren't you tired of reciting books every day?" Xu Murong scratched her braid mischievously, "Don't girls like to play with dolls?"

"You are the girl." Zhou Jiacheng shook her head, "I want to be a boy, and my parents say that boys will be better in the future..."

After a while, Zhou Jiacheng's older brother Zhou Qifeng came in and ransacked the room, "Chengcheng, where is the luggage that mom prepared for you last time? I want to use it."

"That's mine!" Zhou Jiacheng stood up and beat her brother, waving her fist, "Don't go through my things, go away!"

"Little girl, you are so arrogant!" Zhou Qifeng pushed his sister to the ground at once, relying on how old he was, "What's the use of memorizing vocabulary every day, this time dad will take me abroad first..."

The little girl whimpered and cried, and Zhou's mother ran in and said, "What's the matter, Cheng Cheng?"

"Mom, didn't you say that I can go abroad to play after memorizing the vocabulary?" Zhou Jiacheng's eyes were red, "Speaking doesn't count..."

"Chengcheng, my brother is a boy, your father will be very tired taking a girl abroad..."

"I will be very obedient and follow my father obediently..."

"Why are you crying?" Seeing that he had made his sister cry, Zhou Qifeng hurriedly pulled out a crumpled doll and threw it to her. "Girls just stay at home and play with dolls obediently. Traveling is a man's business."

Zhou Jiacheng cried even harder. After all, children at this age are still very innocent. The most annoying thing is that adults promised themselves but didn't keep their promises.

Xu Murong looked at her crying stupidly, and suddenly said righteously: "Don't cry, you just go abroad, what's the big deal, I have a small plane at home, I will let you be the captain, fly wherever you want. "

"Really?" Zhou Jiacheng's crying stopped, "Can girls also be captains?"

"Ah."

That was the last time he saw Zhou Jiacheng cry.

Xu Murong regained consciousness from the memories, and suddenly sighed, Zhou Jiacheng, for the sake of helping me fight when you were young, let me help you once.

……

Zhou Qifeng is really proud of himself recently, because his sister is recuperating in the hospital, no one in the company can hold him down anymore.

After all, it is a woman, no man can bear it.

"Vice President." The secretary handed a stack of documents in front of him. "This is the business that Manager Zhou was in charge of before. Now she is sick and hospitalized. There are some things that need to be reviewed by you."

What's so hard about this?

Although Zhou Qifeng is not very capable, he is not mentally handicapped. He has recruited a lot of professionals over the years, and it is better to leave some troublesome matters to his subordinates.

My younger sister is just a girl in her 20s. Although she skipped grades to an amazing level when she was a student, work is not as simple as a simple grade point test, and Jiang has to be old and hot.

But gradually, he found that he was getting more and more powerless recently.

"What's the matter with you? You can't do such a simple thing well?" Zhou Qifeng never knew that the people under supervision were so tired, and sometimes they even made some absurd little mistakes.

The employees who were abused by him complained secretly in their hearts. In the past, when Zhou Jiacheng handled things, he would clearly plan out the points to be dealt with. This is the role of management. Not only to manage, but more importantly, to manage , Only when the overall situation is straightened out, the follow-up work will not be easy to make mistakes, and Zhou Qifeng is obviously not an excellent manager.

It would be great if Miss Zhou came back...

This change also alarmed the Zhou family's parents. Seeing the recent decline in the company's projects, the employees complained a lot, and even the management came to give them feedback.

"Chengcheng was sick and hospitalized for a few days, how could it be like this?"

Zhou's mother was puzzled, and of course she felt sorry for her daughter, but the old concept of her generation was that girls were at a great disadvantage in career, so the couple was unwilling to delegate the really useful power to their daughter , but Zhou Jiacheng's strong working ability is obvious to all in the management, so she gradually rose up later.

"My son's abilities haven't been honed yet." Zhou's father was furious. He had placed such high hopes on his son. How come Zhou Qifeng is a married man, and he can't compare to a girl in her twenties. ...

Over the years, they have grown older, and their physical conditions have gradually failed to keep up. They have always wanted to train their sons to inherit their careers.

"Forget it, let's help out."

Father Zhou looked at those messed up projects impatiently. He started the company, and naturally he needed to help clean up these messes.

After two or three days like this, Xu Murong sent someone to bring over the project materials they had cooperated with some time ago.

Father Zhou always felt guilty about Xu Murong, who was divorced by his daughter. After carefully reading the documents sent over, he was suddenly stunned.

It's all orange handwriting...

For a whole big project, the amount of work she put into it may be several times that of other people, and some things can actually be handed over to the people below.

"Chengcheng..." Zhou's father's eyes turned sour. Why is his daughter so stupid? When he was doing homework when he was a child, his son always played tricks and tore up the answers before copying them out. She was the only one who could finish every word seriously. It's still like this after work.

My daughter has always been in good health. If she hadn't put so much energy into her work, how could she be so seriously ill...

Zhou's father went crazy and found out all the work records Zhou Jiacheng had done since he joined the company.

This project didn't have much oil and water, and it was bitter and tiring. It was the first time for Chengcheng to work, and it took a month to finish it seriously.

Obviously there is a chance to take a vacation, because the company has a temporary problem, so I flew back overnight to help clean up the mess.

Every time the task is assigned by the superior, he will plan it carefully first, and then patiently teach the newcomers.

Even the day before the illness was hospitalized, I was still holding on to the sick body, and I did my own data to try to figure out a difficult point to break through...

Father Zhou suddenly remembered the day his daughter was born, her little hands and feet were pink and tender. He looked at the child's wrinkled face, wanted to touch it but dared not, and could only tease the baby who had not yet opened his eyes. , "Dad's little padded jacket..."

……

"Oh, the situation is much better recently." The nurse smiled cutely while hanging on the bottle, "Miss Zhou, your mother has come to see you."

"Mom?" Zhou Jiacheng looked up from the book, and Zhou's mother was standing outside the door hesitantly.

"Mom, don't you have to be busy with work today?" Zhou Jiacheng closed the book, "Come to see me so early."

"Chengcheng." Mother Zhou came over and held her hand, "Are you tired these days?"

"I'm not tired. The environment in the hospital is pretty good." Zhou Jiacheng shook her head, "The hospital said that my condition is much better recently, and I think I can return to the company to continue working in a few days."

"No need!" Mother Zhou's eyes turned red suddenly, "You should have a good rest."

Zhou's father has already told her all about the situation, because men are not good at expressing, so she can only do it by herself, "It is very important to take care of your body when you are sick, otherwise you will fall into the root of the disease when you get old. You don't have to worry about anything. Your father and I will meet you." Take care of your work, don't work too hard."

"I don't work hard, I can't sit still." Zhou Jiacheng was about to say something when her mother's gentle embrace suddenly hugged her body, "Mom knows you are strong, but this time you just listen to your mother, right? Nothing is more important to your parents than your body."

Zhou Jiacheng opened her mouth, "Ah..."

"No matter when, no matter what situation you encounter, you will always be our proudest daughter." Zhou's mother cried uncontrollably, "Even if you are an adult, you will always be the little girl in the eyes of your parents. It is the support of your children, if you are tired, you can stop and rest for a while, and you will be able to fly higher next time."

Zhou Jiacheng's eyes warmed up, "Yes."

……

[Ding~ The energy value of the strategy target Zhou Jiacheng has increased by 7%, and the current energy value has reached 100%, and the energy tank is being activated to repair the host's body...] Ji Yin felt that his body seemed to be floating, waiting for him to open his eyes There is a sense of relief all over the body.

"Success."

Ji Yin covered her face with her palm, "Can I live without worry?"

【seems like it. 】

"If you took human form, I wouldn't be able to resist kissing you right now."

Ji Yin laughed, "So you'd better be a system quietly."

He suddenly wanted to call Zhong Jingsheng.

The phone rang a dozen times, but no one answered.
