Let go of the past

When it was time to get off work, the sky that had been gloomy all day outside the window seemed to have activated a valve, and it finally started to rain.The damp vapor enveloped the tired and agitated mood of Monday syndrome patients, sweeping across the city in a blinding manner.

The mobile phone next to the computer dinged to indicate that there was a new message. Li Ziqing turned his head and glanced to see the name of the person who wrote the letter. Then he stopped typing on the keyboard, took the mobile phone and returned it to the other party.

Ji Bing: I didn't drive today, so come pick me up.

Li Ziqing: Good.

Throwing the mobile phone back on the desk, Li Ziqing looked at the time, he was off work in half an hour, he glanced at the dark sky outside the window, restrained the rootless irritability in his heart, and stood up from the chair .

The colleague at the back heard the movement, turned his chair to face him, was opening a bag of cookies in his hand, and asked him with a smile, "Is it changed?"

Li Ziqing shook his head: "The original system program is too old, and it is no longer worth changing. I re-wrote a new one, and it will be ready for delivery next week. Basically, the collective testing can be completed."

The biscuit that was just stuffed into the colleague's mouth fell to the ground with a snap, and the torn biscuit crumbs perfectly complemented the shocked expression on his face at the moment.

"What kind of monster did you become?" He rushed to Li Ziqing's computer, grabbed the mouse, turned the wheel, and clicked to switch. After two or three minutes, he said dumbfounded: "Damn, the system framework has been changed. You can't use this thing. How long have you been doing it?"

"Two days." Li Ziqing took the mouse from his colleague in the eyes of ghosts, and explained it to him step by step: "It's actually not complicated. Many business logics of this system overlap. Algorithmic logic is categorized and encapsulated to simplify unnecessary complexity, and it will be very fast in doing so.”

"But..." the colleague said in disbelief: "It takes a lot of time just to sort out the business logic and classify them into categories? I'm already overwhelmed just thinking about it."

"The problem itself is not terrible, what is terrible is the determination to solve the problem."

The colleague raised his hands in surrender, returned to his seat and sat down, shrugged and said, "I understand the truth, but it's useless if you actually do it. Give me this thing, and I won't be him for a week or two. I'm sorry." My meager salary."

Li Ziqing smiled, noncommittal, and seeing that more than ten minutes had passed, he began to pack his things and turn off the computer.

The colleague saw that he seemed to be getting off work, and asked in surprise: "Leaving so early? Don't you clock in?"

Before Li Ziqing could answer, a girl on the opposite side interjected, "Ziqing doesn't need to clock in to and from get off work. Didn't the boss say that in the last meeting?"

"I'm envious of my real name." Saying this, the colleague seemed to be used to it, turned around and continued to do his own thing.

After Li Ziqing packed his things, the girl opposite smiled and waved to him: "See you tomorrow, Ziqing."

When Li Ziqing's figure completely disappeared, the colleague raised his head from the computer just now, snorted through his nose, and said in a strange way: "It is said that he graduated from 985 with a master's degree, but he came to such a small and unknown company like us. Show off your might, would you rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix?"

"Leiwei, you're scolding yourself." The girl said with a smile, "Ziqing is a chicken head, so what is your entire development department?"

Lei Wei spread his hands and said indifferently: "I admit that my ability is average, some people like to be pretentious, so don't those who are capable have to work harder?"

"I don't think Ziqing is doing too well. A technical supervisor, he often helps you with work. Your department has been sold out several times, and Ziqing is still working overtime by himself." Another female colleague who was a little older joined in. , between the lines is on Li Ziqing's side.

"That's right." The girl echoed, "That's why the boss gave special approval to allow Ziqing to go to and from get off work in the future without needing to clock in, which can be regarded as a kind of welfare care."

There was a bang of thunder outside the window, and the heavy rain poured down, crackling and hitting the glass of the outer wall, which also interrupted Leiwei's intention to continue the discussion. Everyone began to quickly pack up their work and scrambled to clock out.

Li Ziqing drove from the company garage to the ground, the wipers on the front window kept waving left and right, and the city filled with water vapor gradually changed from clear to blurred, repeating this cycle.

He looked at the real-time traffic conditions of the navigation, and the three routes from here to Jibing Company were competing with each other. He guessed that he might be late, hesitated, and called the other party first.

The bell rang for a long time, and finally cut off with a beep. Li Ziqing didn't continue to ring, stepped on the accelerator and drove on the road.

The car was stuck in a third of the distance, but the phone rang suddenly. Li Ziqing connected without even looking at it, but it was not Ji Bing's voice.

"Ziqing." The man's tone was obviously startled, and he said straight to the point: "Xie Jiaqi has returned to China, do you know?"

The name of this person is Xiao Kaicheng, and he is a good friend of Li Ziqing's in high school. It is not accurate to say that he is a good friend.

"I haven't heard of it." Li Ziqing replied like this, but couldn't help taking a deep breath. The unreasonable irritability before seemed like the weeds had found the soil to take root and began to grow wantonly.

Xiao Kaicheng has never known what it means to observe words and expressions, and he is keen on which pot should not be opened and which pot should be lifted. He continued on his own: "I remember Ji Bing and Xie Jiaqi at that time, but they almost achieved a good result. I bought it. This time when Xie Jiaqi returns to China, they won’t rekindle their old relationship, right?”

Li Ziqing turned the steering wheel to change lanes, and said blankly, "Are you mocking me in disguise?"

"I'm reminding you earnestly." Xiao Kaicheng said, "Let's not talk about Ji Bing, his parents have always regarded you as a scourge, and they hope that you two will break up as soon as possible. This time when Xie Jiaqi returns to China, your Isn't the situation even more like walking on thin ice, it's like being attacked by the enemy."

The car turned into an open avenue, and several towering skyscrapers in the central area of ​​the CBD were completely submerged in the lead gray clouds at the moment. The raging rain continued to sweep the sky and the earth. The voices kneaded together to form a chaotic symphony.

Li Ziqing parked his car downstairs in Ji Bing's company, and there was a row of luxury cars parked in the parking space not far away, the fronts of which all pointed at his white Camry, like a herbivore lost in a dangerous jungle .

Li Ziqing waited for a while, and when the rain gradually subsided, he hit Ji Bing again.This time the bell rang and was hung up. Three or five minutes later, Ji Bing's tall and straight figure appeared behind the glass door downstairs of the office building, followed by two girls with exquisite makeup. quite harmonious.

Li Ziqing rolled down the car window, and heard Ji Bing speaking in his usual gentlemanly and magnetic voice, and said to the two with a smile, "Today is really not good, you see I didn't even drive..."

Li Ziqing honked the car horn twice at the right time, and the three turned their gazes at the same time. The two girls had stunned and puzzled expressions on their faces. One of them covered his mouth in surprise and said, "Who is this car for? Why? stop here?"

Ji Bing suppressed his smile and said lightly, "Pick me up."

The girl was obviously taken aback, she put away her previous teasing, and said with some trepidation: "Sorry, Mr. Ji... I made a mistake."

Another girl quickly pulled her over and smoothed things over: "Nana, you didn't know when you came here. It's the car of Mr. Ji's family." Without further ado, she waved her hand at Ji Bing and said, " Mr. Ji, since this is the case, let's go first, bye~"

Ji Bing waved those two goodbye, put his hands in his trouser pockets, walked down the steps against the sporadic rain, and silently opened the door and got in the car.

Li Ziqing didn't say a word, turned the steering wheel to turn around, and got behind a Maybach, merging into the commuting traffic in the city.

Ji Bing, who was wearing a silver-gray haute couture suit, sat in the passenger seat with his long legs bent, without saying a word, giving the feeling that he had been wronged for no reason.In the damp and cold air, there is a faint scent of perfume. The first note has a cold bitterness, followed by a citrus scent with sweetness, and finally a long woody scent.Li Ziqing smelled it slowly, it was the bottle of Hermes earth perfume that he gave to the other party when they had dinner on the last date.

Outside the car window, when the rain stopped and the lights came on, Ji Bing in the car suddenly reached out and grabbed the car strap. It was a cartoon doll. It has been there since I bought the car for three or four years. If it gets dirty, Li Ziqing will pick it up. Come down to wash, then hang up again.

"It's ugly." Ji Bing made a disgusting comment as always, "Can't we change it?"

"Which one?" Li Ziqing asked.

"I'll give you that."

"Ugly." Li Ziqing turned a corner, "And I don't like it."

Ji Bing flicked the doll with his fingers, retracted his body, and said with a gloomy face, "It's up to you."

Li Ziqing stared at the congested road ahead, taking care not to be let in by other vehicles, but replied flatly: "Yes."

Ji Bing took off his suit jacket irritably and threw it on the back seat, but he was only wearing a shirt inside. The cold spring had not receded, and only his unlined clothing was still cold. opened.

Ji Bing rested his arms on the window for a while, then suddenly spoke, and said in a statement tone without the slightest emotion: "Li Ru came back from the United States, and there will be a reception banquet at Lu Chuanbu's hotel tomorrow night. are you going?"

"No." Li Ziqing refused almost without hesitation for a moment, and finally turned his head to look at Ji Bing, and said in a cool tone: "I don't deal with him, you know that."

Ji Bing sneered, but didn't say anything else. He leaned his head against the back of the chair, closed his eyes and fell into a doze.

After that, there was nothing to say all the way, the car drove into the community where they lived, Li Ziqing braked to a stop, Ji Bing opened the car door and got off, but did not leave first, but stood by the car and waited for Li Ziqing.

Naihe waited for more than a minute, but there was no movement in the car, Ji Bing turned around and patted the window vigorously.

Li Ziqing, who was leaning on the car seat, turned his head to look at him with a little surprise, and returned to normal after a few seconds, rolled down the car window and said to him: "You go up first, I want to be alone for a while."

Ji Bing frowned, paused, and said coldly: "It's up to you."

Li Ziqing watched Ji Bing's figure disappear, then looked away, his gaze fell on the doll hanging in front of the car, and he stretched out his hand to turn its face to face him.

Back in time, a few years ago, on a colorful sunset evening, a boy in a clean white shirt turned his head to him with a warm smile and said, "Ziqing, don't you think that idol who plays like you doesn't look like you?" Unhappy written all over his face."

"I'll clip it out and give it to you. From now on, it will be responsible for being sad, and you will be responsible for being happy, okay?"
