Long time no see (GL)

After Mingyan recovered, she returned to City A.

After she left, Cen Shuya began to remodel the stairs. She did it herself, bought materials and tried various methods. After some exploration, she finally found the most suitable method.

She paved the stairs with keyboard carpets, increased the number of steps, and reduced the height of each step, so that no matter if she walks on one leg or wears a prosthetic, she can walk upstairs slowly without raising her feet.

Ming Yan returned to Mingde as a major shareholder, and became the deputy general manager of Mingde Group from the director of human resources in one fell swoop, in charge of the company's personnel, and participated in the decision-making of major projects as a major shareholder.

She proposed to build a second Mingde headquarters building in Xuan'an to integrate resources in the East China region and be managed by the Xuan'an headquarters.She didn't want to travel between Xuan'an and City A, but wanted to shorten the distance between her and Cen Shuya.

Before this major move was proposed, she first asked Yun Shu and Shen Hanyue. They were all surprised by Ming Yan's boldness. Although it was obviously selfish, Shen Hanyue gave her the greatest support. Ann conducts inspections, does budget and market assessments.

Ming Yan had little contact with family businesses before, and was familiar with but not proficient in real estate. Once invested, she was so serious that she forgot to sleep and eat. She often made video calls to Yunshu to ask professional questions, or consult those professional experts in Mingde.

On the one hand, she wants to integrate into the company as soon as possible, and on the other hand, she misses Cen Shuya. She looks at the air ticket to Xuan'an every day, and every time she resists the urge to go to the airport, and if she really misses her, she just dials a video to go there.

Every night, she had to listen to Cen Shuya's voice to fall asleep, the long-distance relationship was too cruel, Mingyan only hated herself for not growing up sooner.

No matter how late it was, Cen Shuya would wait for her phone call or video, and tirelessly coax her to sleep, which disrupted her biological clock of going to bed at eleven o'clock.

Half a month later, Mingyan still couldn't spare time to go back to Xuan'an, Cen Shuya moved the consultation time to next week, and directly booked a plane ticket to Xuan'an on Friday.

She didn't want to disturb Mingyan's work and schedule, so she purposely said that she didn't arrive until six o'clock in the evening, but in fact the plane landed at three o'clock.

Mingde Headquarters Building is a landmark building in the city center.

At 04:30, Cen Shuya stepped into the lobby on the first floor, and the front desk greeted him respectfully: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, I'm looking for...Mingyan...Mr. Ming."

"Do you have an appointment with Xiaoyan always?"

"No."

"Do you need me to call to convey it for you? Excuse me, you are her..."

Cen Shuya waved her hand: "No need, we didn't make an appointment in advance, I'll just wait in the lobby for her to get off work, don't bother her, thank you."

"Then this way please."

Mingde's management system is very strict, and every detail is done in accordance with the regulations. Even if it is just to receive a foreign visitor, it will follow the etiquette of hospitality.

Cen Shuya sat calmly, scrolling through the hotspots and news on her mobile phone. After a while, two girls sat beside her, and they were talking in a low voice.

"Your interview time is five o'clock, you can go up at four fifty, and there is no time to go to Xiaoyan now."

"I'll go to the Enterprise Propaganda Department to apply for a planning manager. Do you need such a big leader to come forward for the re-examination?"

Hearing someone chatting about Mingyan, Cen Shuya slowed down her mobile phone movements, and listened with pricked ears.

"A re-examination is required for department managers and above, and the re-examination requires Mr. Xiaoyan to interview in person. But don't worry, she won't make things difficult for you. Although our Mr. Yan is a rich second generation, we are young and very kind."

Listening to this conversation, it should be an acquaintance. The person speaking is an internal employee of Mingde, and the interviewer is obviously her friend.

"Then what else should I pay attention to?" The interview girl looked a little nervous.

"You just have to remember one thing, don't stare at her legs. You know what happened to her, right? She's using a prosthetic, and she can't walk very well. If she finds someone staring at her, the consequences will be serious."

"I know. Seeing your special confession, has anyone ever offended her?"

The girl nodded: "Before there was a newcomer who didn't know what was good or bad, just stared at it and discussed it behind his back. Mr. Xiaoyan directly paid her three months' salary and let her go. There was another one who looked at it twice and was reprimanded by her." Demotion."

"It's so serious..." When the two of them talked about this topic, they realized that Cen Shuya was not far away, so they lowered their voices.

"Anyway, it's right to turn a blind eye to her lameness."

Hearing this, Cen Shuya's heart felt like a needle had been pricked severely, and the pain made her gasp.But she still sat quietly, pretending not to hear, and within a few minutes, the girl left.

She didn't know that Mingyan's psychological shadow was so heavy that she would be furious even when others looked at her. If this continued, she would have extremely negative emotions.

Cen Shuya felt that she was too careless and ignored that she might have social barriers. The more she did this, the more she would remind herself that she was a disabled person, and it would also deepen other people's memory of her.

Moreover, it is not appropriate to rely on high positions to pressure employees. Even if you have willful capital, you can't act recklessly.Cen Shuya hopes that Mingyan will be a leader who can be recognized by the employees, speak with ability, and convince others with virtue.

She had to think of a way to change Mingyan's perception of the gazes around her. She couldn't act too hastily, and she couldn't make her intentions obvious. What should I do?It was the first time for Cen Shuya to feel that it was so tricky. If it was other consultants, she might have given a lot of suggestions, but because of her status as a girlfriend, she needs to think twice.

At about 05:30, the interview girl came down. She was smiling, and she seemed to have great hopes. It seemed that finding an "insider" would really help. Cen Shuya looked at her with a smile on her lips, and really wanted to see what Mingyan was like in the company .

Is it the domineering young president?Or a big leader who is lively, cheerful and has no distance?

She sat quietly for another half an hour until a familiar voice came.

Mingyan is walking out of the elevator. Her hair has been dyed back to black, and the texture falls on her shoulders. She is wearing a chiffon shirt. The fashionable texture adds to the layering of the clothes. It is paired with wide-leg pants, which hides the shape of her legs. Flaw, this outfit made her look a little more intellectual and less childish.

"I will go to Xuan'an to shoot the land next week. Let Mr. Liu, Mr. Guan, and the engineering department go to the site to inspect first. If the progress can be made, we will move forward." She walks very slowly, and she has to be very careful to keep her right leg on the ground to keep it stable. .

"Okay, Mr. Yan." The assistant carefully recorded her words.

"Just now, the corporate propaganda department planned to pay a return visit to her previous company. She has no problem with her moral character and can be hired."

"Yes."

When Mingyan was speaking, a security guard happened to be passing by after changing his guard. Seeing her limping, he couldn't help but look back a few more times.

"Stop!" Mingyan's face suddenly changed, like the weather without warning, instantly covered with dark clouds.

The security guard didn't know how to call him, so the front desk hurriedly came over to pull him, "Why didn't you say hello when you saw Xiaoyan?"

"Mr. Xiaoyan is good." The young man seemed to be in his early 20s, and looked at Mingyan in a daze, not knowing what happened.

"What were you looking at?"

"I, I didn't see anything."

The faces at the front desk were twisted together, with a helpless expression. She really wanted to plead for her fellow villagers, but she didn't dare to speak.

Cen Shuya had never seen Mingyan's expression like this, as if a storm was approaching, the air pressure was so low that it hit her, she stood up and walked over quietly.

"Didn't you look at what? Didn't you just look at my legs?" Mingyan was suppressing her anger, and the assistant didn't dare to take a breath with her strong questioning tone.

"me..."

"Have you never seen a cripple? Are you curious? There is sympathy in your eyes? Pity?"

The little security guard nodded first, then shook his head again and again, too frightened to speak.

"Tell you, no matter where you see disabled people, you must respect them and treat them as equals, instead of casting curious and sympathetic eyes! You know?"

The little security guard forgot to give a response.

Seeing that he did not repent, Ming Yan asked sharply, "Which group are you in? Who is the immediate leader?"

It's over!The receptionist beat him with his elbow, "Admit your mistake, admit your mistake! Say sorry to President Xiaoyan."

"It's strange, I've only come to work for three days, I really don't know what I did wrong to make the leader lose his temper?" The little security guard was too upright, seeing Mingyan's anger, he couldn't help being surprised: "It's pitiful that I just have missing legs , is this also wrong?"

Hearing this sentence, Ming Yan became furious, and her anger deepened. She glared at him and shouted: "It's not your turn to pity you. What's your name? Go to the Human Resources Department right away..."

"Yanyan..."

Mingyan was about to have a fit, when she heard that longing voice, she turned around and saw Cen Shuya walking towards with a big smile, "It seems that I came at the wrong time."

"Shuya, you, what are you..." Mingyan turned angry into joy, glanced at her watch, and said, "Didn't you say to get off the plane at seven?" Forget it.

Cen Shuya stepped forward to hold her arm, still smiling, "Is it okay to come pick you up from get off work?" When she spoke, she waved her other hand behind her to the front desk, signaling her to take him away.

The receptionist glanced at the assistant, who nodded repeatedly, and the two of them took the little security away like a place of salvation.

Mingyan completely calmed down, and all her attention and attention was on Cen Shuya.Originally, she had arranged to leave work at this time, so she could go to the airport to pick her up, but Cen Shuya came to pick her up.

"It's the first time we meet in a long-distance relationship, why don't you let me pick you up at the airport?" Mingyan pouted in frustration, the driver was already waiting downstairs.

"Aren't they all the same? I don't want to take a car. Let's go for a walk? Take a walk? This coastal city is very comfortable everywhere."

"Okay, you can do whatever you like, there is a park next to it, anyway, I'm happy doing whatever I do with you." Mingyan interlocked her fingers and walked slowly.

Cen Shuya deliberately slowed down her pace to keep pace with her. She didn't really want to take a walk, but she just felt that Ming Yan was too hostile just now, and she needed to do something soothing to relax herself.

The two of them were walking along the path in Central Park. Up until this moment, Cen Shuya hadn't thought of any way to guide Mingyan. Severe words would hurt people, but light words would have no effect. It was really embarrassing.

"Meow~meow~"

As he was walking, a kitten meowed in the grass, Mingyan looked around, "Why are cats meowing here?"

The meowing of the cat was very shrill, as if it had been greatly frightened. Cen Shuya followed the sound and found a white nest crying in the bushes.

"Here, there is a little white cat."

"It's so small, it feels like it's not long since it was born." Mingyan stretched out her hand and hugged the kitten out. The kitten was only the size of a palm, skinny, with red and swollen eyes. She couldn't resist being picked up, and was trembling all the time.

"It's so pitiful. I was born without a home. If no one takes care of me, I will starve to death." Mingyan carried the cat around, "What should I do? Send it to the Small Animal Association or take it to the hospital?"

"Take it for a physical examination first."

Mingyan nodded, and the two found a nearby pet hospital to have a full-body examination on the cat. Because Cen Shuya was allergic to cat fur, she couldn't keep it, and Mingyan didn't have the energy to take care of it, so she had to pay and leave it to the pet hospital for adoption.

"It's really pitiful. Fortunately, I'm not sick." Mingyan cast a sympathetic look at the cat in the cage, and Cen Shuya looked at her expression, and suddenly had an idea.

"Don't worry, such a beautiful little white cat will definitely be raised by someone. If we pay more, the pet hospital will treat it well." Cen Shuya pulled her over to visit other cats and dogs in cages. Some of our pets are on drips, some are dying of severe illness, and some are even brought by their owners for euthanasia.

A small pet hospital has staged a lot of joys and sorrows in this short period of time. Mingyan looked at the sad and tearful owners, and felt sad in her heart.

"Why do you look so sad?" Cen Shuya felt that the time had come and it was time to cut into the topic.

"These cats and dogs can't speak, can't express the pain, the pain is hidden in the eyes, and the feeling of the owner's powerlessness is also very uncomfortable to watch."

"Do you sympathize with these pets and feel sorry for those owners?"

Ming Yan nodded sullenly.

Cen Shuya led her to the little white cat's cage, and said earnestly, "It was because of your pity that Xiaobai was saved today. Why was it not saved by others? I think it must be because others are not as kind as you, or they just don't like it. Small animals, so they will choose to turn a blind eye."

"That's for sure, many people don't like small animals."

"So sympathy is actually a kind of kindness, isn't it?" Cen Shuya got to the point, Mingyan seemed to understand something, and listened intently.

Cen Shuya went on to say: "Abandon the abuse of vicious people, and now there are many words that have become mixed, such as sympathy and pity, which are obviously good intentions triggered by empathy, but are always misinterpreted as humiliation and contempt." .”

"Well, that seems to be the case..." Ming Yan remembered the little security guard.

"My parents like to watch those family-hunting programs very much, and they cry every time. Sometimes I can't help donating when I see crowdfunding in Moments. You said that this kind of kindness and empathy will be speculated as malicious, How heartbreaking."

Mingyan's mouth moved, but she didn't speak, thinking of the newcomer who was expelled by her.

"Even if it's not sympathy, just curiosity is innocent. You are in a high position in the company, the daughter of the chairman, the major shareholder, and the leader of many people. Employees have filters for leaders. They envy you, worship you, It's normal to be curious about you, I believe they didn't speculate about you with malicious intent, did they?" Cen Shuya stroked her shoulder lightly to test her reaction, Ming Yan pondered for a moment, then nodded deeply.

"Let me ask you again, our partnership is not recognized by domestic laws, would you be afraid to hold hands, hug or even kiss me outside?"

Ming Yan shook her head.

"You should know that if we do this, others will definitely attract malice. Since you don't even care about this, why do you care about those eyes looking at your legs? If you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, you might as well think about it. Open relationship, think about our future, can it be better?"

"I get it, I get it, I'm just..." Ming Yan realized that she was out of control and inappropriate, and when she thought of the nameless anger she had made against the employees, she suddenly felt very guilty.

"Don't worry, take your time, let's not force each other, give each other some time."

"What time do you want?"

Cen Shuya lowered her eyebrows and smiled slightly: "I need you to give me time to prepare for coming out."

Mingyan was stunned: "I didn't want you to come out of the closet..."

"You didn't let it mean that I don't want to. My parents are both enlightened and conservative, kind and stubborn. They are both intellectuals. It is difficult to break the imprisoned thoughts, so I need time, it may take several years, but I promise you, this Things will definitely be done, and plans will be made to strive for one step of success.”

Mingyan's heart was softened by her again, she pinched the tip of her nose, and said in a strange voice: "If you say it again, I'm going to cry." She never made any request to Cen Shuya, but Cen Shuya always thought of her in everything. , It's really narrow-minded to get angry at the employees.

"Eh? I came to City A to make you happy, not to make you cry, baby."

"I didn't cry, I was just touched." Mingyan buried her face in Cen Shuya's shoulder, and took advantage of the situation to hug her. It was so good, she had all the sense of security she wanted.

She will try to use the way of thinking taught by Cen Shuya to get out of the shadow of disability as soon as possible, and treat the employees with a normal heart, otherwise she will look down on herself, feel sorry for Cen Shuya's persuasion, and be unworthy of Cen Shuya's gentleness and generosity.

After this incident, Ming Yan began to support the Small Animal Association, [-] per month, remitting money on time.At the same time, she established the Matilda Foundation for the Disabled, built special schools, and used the resources of Matilda Hospital to treat disabled children.

Because of these charitable deeds, Ming Yan was invited by the radio station to appear on the program many times, but she was rejected. She has not yet had the courage to appear in front of the camera.

She doesn't do this for fame or profit, she just wants to make life more meaningful. Cen Shuya's role as a consultant is not helping others. She wants to synchronize with Cen Shuya's life, even if the trajectories are different, they will always intersect in the end.

The two have complementary personalities, Mingyan enriches Cen Shuya's world, and Cen Shuya makes Mingyan face herself again, and no longer feel inferior in the face of physical incompleteness.

They seldom have conflicts in their relationship. Mingyan can be coquettish and willful but never touches Cen Shuya's bottom line. Cen Shuya uses her high EQ to always coax Mingyan into submission.

Some feelings tend to be flat with time, and some feelings are like brewed wine, which lasts for a long time.

Since she had Ming Yan, Cen Shuya spent less time returning to Ruhai City. Cen Mo'an and Wen Xiaoman made more calls because they missed their daughter.

Every time, Cen Shuya has to avoid Mingyan to pick it up. She is already arranging thinking interference, such as giving examples or using psychological research topics to mention homosexuality. Every time Wen Xiaoman does not express an opinion, neither opposing nor supporting .

But Cen Mo'an was always against it. He had heart disease and had undergone bypass surgery. Cen Shuya didn't dare to be radical. His attitude blocked her plan to come out.

In this way, one consumption is more than three years.

Many things have happened in the past few years. First, Mingde's second headquarters building was put into use. Mingyan ended her long-distance relationship with Cen Shuya and officially went to Xuan'an to work. Then Gu Weiran and Yun Shu reunited, but Yun Xiwei was terminally ill and in danger. .

People can't compete with fate, Yun Xiwei didn't make it to New Year's Eve, and left before Wang Sen was sentenced. Sadly, Shen Hanyue suffered a cardiac arrest due to excessive grief and passed away.

Even knowing that they left together is the best belonging, losing her mother is also a devastating blow to Mingyan, she fell into grief and couldn't extricate herself, Cen Shuya simply gave up and went back to her hometown, and stayed with her until Xiaonian.

In Ruhai, when the New Year's Eve is over, one has to go home for the holidays. Cen Shuya has done too many firsts for Mingyan, so she didn't go back this year. Compared with her parents, she feels that Mingyan needs herself more.

Today, she specially bought ingredients and made dumplings with Mingyan, as if it was the Spring Festival.

"Do you think this dumpling looks like a little mouse?" She pinched a strangely shaped dumpling and shook it in front of Ming Yan.

"It's so ugly, look at me, does it look a bit like this?" Mingyan's mood improved a lot, the first time she made dumplings, although they were crooked, she finally squeezed her mouth tightly.

"This is much better than what I learned the first time. It's better than me." In fact, Cen Shuya was not taught how to make dumplings at all, and she would do it naturally. She said this deliberately to encourage her.

"Hee hee, that's what your teacher taught you well."

Cen Shuya can always coax Mingyan without leaving any traces. The small satisfactions and joys in life pile up into happiness and fill her heart. Mingyan is holding that ugly and cute dumpling, complacent, "It seems that I am also a bit talented Well."

As soon as the words fell, the doorbell rang.

The two looked at each other with doubts written on their faces.

"Who could it be?" Mingyan stood up, "It can't be sister and Weiran, right?" Her prosthesis has been removed, and she can only hop on one leg. Cen Shuya followed anxiously, and Mingyan has already opened the door .

There were two old men standing at the door, the moment they saw Mingyan, their smiles froze on their faces, Wen Xiaoman's eyes fell on Mingyan's crippled leg, while Cen Mo'an's face was livid, his eyes swept past Mingyan's body, Look for Cen Shuya's shadow indoors.

Ming Yan stared blankly at them, surprised and at a loss.

"Dad, Mom?" Cen Shuya was so astonished, she subconsciously walked up to Mingyan and protected her behind her.

The author has something to say: To be honest, I didn’t expect to write so much and write so smoothly, maybe it’s because the charm of the senior sister can’t stop it

The flag is really unacceptable, the end of the month is not completed, today I wrote the main drama and did not write, tomorrow!Xiaoyan will be abused at the main drama tomorrow, so she will go to find her sister

It's really comfortable to get along with someone with high EQ like Senior Sister
