"There will be times when the wind and the waves cleave, and the clouds and sails will be hung directly to help the sea." On the white and clean wall of the director's office, there is this exquisite calligraphic painting flying and phoenix dancing.

Lu Ren sat on the majestic black leather sofa, feeling completely clueless.

After a simple lunch for each person with a bowl of instant noodles, Lu Ren led the depressed young man to report to the Administration Department of the Special Human Resources Bureau.As soon as they arrived on the front foot, someone greeted them on the back foot, and then he and You You were guided to different places.You You followed Director Zhao to go through the formalities, and while he was waiting in the hall, he was begged for help by an elite uncle who was over fifty years old.

The elite uncle has flowery hair, wears a custom-made suit, steps on expensive branded leather shoes, and holds three large cardboard boxes stacked together in his hands.As a rookie who just joined the job, Lu Ren readily agreed to help the uncle move the cardboard boxes to the office.

At first, Lu Ren guessed that the other party was a senior with the same position as Director Zhao. Later, when the uncle took out the magnetic card and took him on the special stairs leading to the top floor, he realized that his layout was too small and his thinking was outrageously wrong.

Uncle Elite is none other than Lu Ren's immediate boss, the director of the Special Human Resources Bureau.

He was invited into the director's private office on the second day of his employment. Apart from lamenting his luck, Lu Ren could only accept the reality with a smile on his face.

"Don't be too nervous, Doctor Lu." The elite uncle responded to Lu Ren with a kind smile, "I didn't expect to see you on the way back to the office, so I wanted to ask you for a favor and chat by the way."

Lu Ren smiled inwardly, when the uncle who had never seen him called out his name accurately, it was hard for him to believe that the meeting in the director's room was a coincidence.

"Come on, drink some chrysanthemum tea, clear away heat and relieve fire, and it's good for your eyes."

"Thank you, Director Zhang." Lu Ren took the teacup with both hands, and looked at the floating white dried flowers.

"You're welcome." Director Zhang sat closer to Lu Ren, speaking as if he was an elder who cared about the child, "How does it feel to be in the Special Human Resources Bureau for two days?"

"Hmm...very good, I've started to get used to it." Lu Nin said dryly.

"In work or life, have you encountered anything that goes wrong!" Director Zhang continued to ask.

Lu Ren thought for a while, then shook his head: "Our Special Human Resources Bureau is pretty good in all aspects."

"Is the status of the returning students okay?" Director Zhang hesitated to speak, "From your feeling after contact."

Lu Nin was stunned for a moment, thinking that Director Zhao hadn't finished what he had said on the phone in the morning, and suddenly detected the purpose of the director looking for him.

"Director, may I ask, this ex-student... who is he?" Lu Ren didn't answer Director Zhang immediately, but asked a question first.

"Do you know the foundation of the Special Human Resources Bureau?" Director Zhang looked at Lu Ren for a while and sighed.

"Foundation? Is it operated by our special Human Resources Bureau?" Lu Ren was a little surprised.

"Foundation is a non-profit organization that aims to develop public welfare undertakings. I mean this foundation is the 'National Special Talent Employment Assistance Foundation', which aims to help survivors who have been traumatized after the end of the world. Solve their livelihood problems and promote the stability of the social environment." Director Zhang explained, "So far, our foundation has about [-] million peace coins."

"[-] million?" Lu Nin took a breath.

"In the early stage of order restoration, a lot of waste is waiting to be done, and the government's finances are also very tight. Money has to be spent wisely, and it is difficult to take care of all aspects of showing off. Many units are short of money, and our special human resources bureau can carry out training work smoothly. It's because of the foundation's assistance," Director Zhang said meaningfully, "What I want to tell you is that the foundation is funded by the Huo family."

Huo is a very famous surname in the whole country. If Lu Ren remembers correctly, in the early days of the end of the world, the marshal who first represented the army to fight against the zombie tide seems to have the surname Huo, called Huo Blin.

Could it be that You You has something to do with the famous Marshal Huo?Lu Ren couldn't help being a little shocked.

"It's a secret. Few people in the Special Human Resources Bureau know about it, so I can't say too clearly, but it's just what you think." Director Zhang sipped his chrysanthemum tea, "You should know what happened to this returning student. I know that the nature of intentionally hurting the employees of the unit is very serious, if it wasn’t for the person who said that he would take special care, according to the content of the “Olive Flower Peace Management Rules”, he would probably live in the supervision room for the rest of his life.”

No wonder he felt confident when he was pointed at by dozens of guns that day.Lu Ren nodded, as if he understood.

"Director Zhang, you came to me today to—"

"I heard from Director Zhao that the returning students lived in your staff dormitory last night." Director Zhang looked down at the teacup and said slowly.

Lu Nin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the clauses that were missed when signing the contract, which seemed to say that the employees of the unit were not allowed to take people back to the dormitory at will.

"Director Zhang, yesterday's situation was an accident, and this situation will not happen in the future." Lu Ren realized that he had violated the rules and regulations of the Special Human Resources Bureau, and took the initiative to review his mistakes to the director.

"Building a heart-to-heart friendly relationship with the problematic students is exactly the excellent quality that the mentor of our special human resources bureau should have." Director Zhang stood up and patted Lu Nin on the shoulder, without warning, and made a final decision. "Let's live together in the future, and it will be convenient for you to keep track of his situation at any time."

"Live, live together?" Lu Ren was a little confused by the sudden turning point.

"Yes, I think this is a good idea." Director Zhang said, "What do you think, Doctor Lu?"

Lu Ren was silent. According to his understanding of the human workplace, this kind of situation where the leader agrees first, as a newcomer, he only needs to nod his head in agreement.

However, if he and You You live together every day, Lu Ren can be sure that his vision of living a stable life will definitely be shattered into pieces.

"Director Zhang, I think the dormitory might not be furnished enough if two people live together." Lu Ren tactfully put forward his objection.

"Don't worry, hardware problems will be solved by professional people." Director Zhang waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to worry.

"The normal clothing, housing and transportation of the returning students..."

"Doctor Lu, don't worry, I've thought about all these issues for you." Director Zhang patted Lu Ren on the back, and opened the door of the director's office, "Just say whether you want to or not."

"Director Zhang, I'm really powerless." Lu Ren thought for a while, but still chose to stick to his bottom line.

"Really? If you want, the foundation promises to give you an extra 1 yuan in living allowance every month." Director Zhang added.

"I think... I should give it a try." Lu Ren succumbed to the temptation of money.

"Okay, I knew that Doctor Lu would definitely be able to do it." After receiving Lu Ren's agreeable reply, the director showed a satisfied smile, he opened the door of the director's room, and personally sent Lu Nin to the elevator.

"An extra 1 yuan subsidy a month, 12 peace coins a year, 36 yuan in three years, and the money to buy an apartment is almost earned." Lu Ren stood in the elevator thinking about the bright future, thinking of himself After working for three years, he was able to scrape together enough money to buy a house, and it was rare for him to hum a happy tune.

Owning a house, single, high salary, iron rice bowl... Lu Ren is gradually getting closer to high-quality men in the marriage market. He believes that after this year, he is destined not to continue to be a single dog who "can be bullied".

The elevator door opened in front of Lu Ren, and a blue and white figure appeared in front of his eyes.

Most people have an unreachable silhouette in their hearts when they are students. You know his name, his appearance, and his excellence, but you have never said a word to him.Your understanding is one-sided, you know him for granted, but it is absolutely impossible for him to know you.

Some people are born in the limelight and destined to stand out.That's something that can't be concealed even if everyone dresses up exactly the same.

"Where have you been?" You You greeted him.

"Ah, the director just talked to me about work." Lu Ren came back to his senses, and looked away from the young man, "Have you completed all the procedures for returning to school?"

"After I finished, they even changed my training clothes." You You tugged at his collar uncomfortably, "It feels weird."

"I think it's pretty good." Lu Nin's voice stopped, "It's better than the previous one."

"Doctors like this? Do students play?" You You nodded with a vague understanding.

"Don't speculate on other people's hobbies at will, I'm a person who has escaped the vulgar taste." Lu Ren pouted and walked outside, "I will go home after I finish my work."

You You was stunned by the unintentional word "go home".

"What are you doing here in a daze, let's go." The man stood at the door scratching his head, talking to himself, "The cafeteria is not open, and the refrigerator at home is also empty. A kid in his twenties can't eat instant noodles all at once, right?" .”

You You stared intently at the man's slender back, then lowered his eyes, rubbed his nose, and followed quickly.

"Why don't you eat onions? I thought the onions from foreigners are similar to our garlic shallots." Lu Ren carried the bag, and the sensor door at the entrance of the dormitory opened automatically.

"Doctor, you are prejudiced. Although I am of mixed race, I have lived in China for a long time. I like spicy food." You You also carried a supermarket bag in his hand, which was the one he forgot to take last night.

"Really, I just bought a bunch of messy vegetables, so I'll have a spicy hot pot tonight." Lu Ren finally decided on the evening menu.

"Let me open the door, the doctors are carrying things in their hands." You You said.

"Well, the key is in my trouser pocket." Lu Ren was a little uncomfortable, feeling the young man's hand touch the skin of his thigh through a layer of fabric.

Lu Ren was still in a strange feeling, the door of the dormitory was opened by You You...

Stone-like floor tiles are paved on the ground, and the walls are covered with uneven wooden wall panels. The simple and luxurious solid wood furniture complements the sculptures and handicrafts in the entire room. Every detail visible to the naked eye reveals the atmosphere and luxury. Decor tone.

"We went to the wrong room." Lu Ren looked at the colorful and delicately crafted slender bottle scene on the table, with a hesitant expression on his face.

You You didn't show surprise, his eyes drooped.

Two figures came out of the kitchen, a woman in a black formal suit and a muscular big brother with a cropped cut. The high-heeled shoes landed on the translucent floor tiles with a crisp sound like the tip of a knife.They walked up to Lu Nin and You You, and the two faces with very different looks showed the same professional smile at the same time, "Dr. Lu, come back. I'm sorry, we cleaned this dormitory while you were out. Again. Because I didn't ask for your opinion in advance. So I don't know if you are satisfied with the current style."

"Secretary Song, this shouldn't be considered a cleanup." Lu Ren looked at the old acquaintance, "Even if the snail girl is alive, she can't do this."

The snail girl is a figure in folklore. Lu Nin used this allusion as a joke to ease the embarrassment of two big living people suddenly appearing at home. However, Secretary Song is a working brain and is good at analyzing needs from words. The thinking mode she has developed cannot Understand the humor in Lu Ren's words.

"If you said that you need dinner, we have already sealed the food prepared in advance." Secretary Song opened the notebook that he carried with him, "Four meals and one soup, the taste and cuisine refer to the original place of residence in your information .”

"I didn't mean that... But, did you even help make dinner together in such a short period of time?" Lu Ren was shocked by the amazing work efficiency of the supervision room. He walked into the kitchen and found that there was indeed a table full of flavors and tastes. dishes.

"Secretary Song, thank you for your hard work and helping us cook such a sumptuous dinner." Lu Ren thanked you.

"I didn't cook these meals." Secretary Song stretched out his hand to the big brother beside him, "It's Police Officer Liu. Before the end of the world, he was the successor of Jinling Cuisine."

"The people in the supervision room are really...multi-talented." Lu Ren nodded politely towards Officer Liu, who is mighty, strong and good at cooking, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Get out as soon as you finish your work, break into someone's house without authorization, and who do you want to show credit to?" You You put the bag on the ground, his voice was gloomy and scary.

The atmosphere in the whole room froze.

Lu Ren could only show an apologetic expression, and sent Secretary Song and Police Officer Liu out of the dormitory first.

When he came back, You You was already sitting on the sofa, and the evening news was playing on the ultra-high-definition smart TV screen.

"Military Marshal Hoblin went to City H to hold the first National Peaceful United Front Conference on August 31 and delivered an important speech—"

Before the screen had time to switch to the live meeting outside the venue, the channel was directly changed.

"It's getting late, let's have dinner first." Lu Ren brought the delicious and delicate dishes to the table.

Police Officer Liu's craftsmanship was really superb, even Lu Ren, who had no appetite, ate more than usual, but the young man sitting opposite him put down his chopsticks without taking a few bites.

"Don't eat? Why only eat so little?" Lu Nin asked.

"I'm full." You You said simply.

"Are you in a bad mood? Why did you have such a bad attitude towards Secretary Song and Police Officer Liu just now?" Lu Ren continued to ask.

"Because I hate them." You You lowered his eyelids, "Doctor, I'm the kind of person with a bad attitude, otherwise I wouldn't stay in such a place."

"You shouldn't give yourself such an image." Lu Ren tried to guide the young man's thoughts, "When you talk to me, you are no different from ordinary people."

"Doctor, you should know that you are a special case." You You said, "My patience is only so much."

"Can you try to treat other people as me?" Lu Ren suggested.

"Impossible. I don't have the desire to have sex with them." You You suddenly raised his head, "Could the doctor treat other people as me?"

Lu Nin was stunned by the question, he could feel that if he was going to say "yes", he might not be at peace tonight.

"Of course there are differences in feelings for different people." Lu Ren replied ambiguously.

"Liar." You You muttered in a very low voice, and sat back in front of the TV.

"Do you know? It's about living with me in the future." Lu Nin was washing the dishes in his hands, remembering this important matter and didn't say anything yet.

The people watching the TV gave a faint "hmm".

Lu Ren was a little unaccustomed, not because he was narcissistic, but based on his previous observations, You You's reaction was much colder than he imagined.

Is this finally figuring it out, or is it the end of his novelty with this old man?Lu Nin's mood was complicated, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy, besides some happiness, there were also some unspeakable emotions.

Lu Ren was tidying up the kitchen while thinking about some irrelevant things.Inadvertently, his eyes fell on the supermarket shopping bags that he hadn't had time to pack.

"Are you angry with me?" Lu Ren suddenly asked.

"No." A muffled voice came from the sofa.

"

I promised to make you a spicy pot at night, but I didn't do it. Is it because of this? " Lu Nin asked tentatively.

"..." The young man lowered his head, remained silent for a long time, and finally hummed softly twice.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Lu Ren knew that he had found the key to the problem. If it was really because of the spicy hot pot he promised, then he also understood why You You spoke so fiercely to Secretary Song and Police Officer Liu.

"Can I do it for you now?" After understanding the reason, Lu Ren couldn't laugh or cry.

"Forget it, I'm already full." You You said in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter, it won't take long, just wait for a while." Lu Ren took out some vegetables from the refrigerator, "Since I promised, I must do it, and I can't refuse to obey."

The sound of stir frying came from the kitchen, You You quietly turned his head, rested his chin on the sofa, and looked at the flickering fire under the iron pan.Lu Ren turned his back to him, and a navy blue apron was tied around his waist.Such a life scene full of smoke and fire is very common, but You You can see it fascinated.He thinks everything he sees is very beautiful now, he likes this room, he likes spicy hot pot, and he likes people who cook.

He likes to see Lu Ren being busy the most, the premise is that he is busy for him.

Such a scene would make his heart beat faster and give him the illusion that he had become the only person the doctor valued.

You You turned off the TV, sat back at the dining table, and patiently waited for his own dinner.
