Chestnuts are ripe

After Chen Fang arrived home, he did not get through to Chen Shanjiao.Thinking of his younger sister who was in the third year of high school, Chen Fang also had a headache for a while, and threw the phone on the bed irritably.

When he came out of the bathroom covered in steam and looked at his phone, there was still no call back.

He called again, scolding Chen Shanjiao in his heart for being a dead girl who didn't know what she was doing. The ringtone on the phone rang at the beginning, and then quickly changed to a busy tone. Obviously, the other party hung up his phone.

Chen Fang glanced at the clock. At seven o'clock in the evening, it should be the beginning of evening self-study.

He opened WeChat, poked at Chen Shanjiao's black-bottomed triangle profile picture, and typed: "Tell me when you get to the dormitory after evening self-study, and I'll make a video for you."

The WeChat conversation column changed to "The other party is typing...", Chen Fang waited for a long time before Chen Shanjiao sent a full stop to express his understanding.

Seeing her cold response, Chen Fang was helpless but didn't know what to say. He just opened the refrigerator and took out the leftover fried rice noodles from yesterday, put them in the microwave, and then turned to look for the hair dryer.

The sound of the hair dryer had just started to roar, when he vaguely heard the reminder tone of his mobile phone WeChat, which sounded like a reminder, and it rang dozens of times in a row.

Chen Fang thought that there was some news from the store, and hurriedly swiped open the phone, only to see that it was his roommate Lu Yanyi frantically swiping several rows of exclamation marks in the dialog box.

"what?"

"Fang Fang!! The defense is due in two days! When are you going back to the dormitory!"

Chen Fang looked at the date, and it was Thursday two days later, so he had to ask the store manager for leave in advance.He thought, and typed: "I'll go back to the dormitory after get off work tomorrow."

"Ah! Fang Fang! Why didn't you come back sooner! You don't cherish the time with me at all! We are roommates who have slept together for four years!"

Looking at the message, Chen Fang could imagine the contrived expression on Xu Yanyi's face when he said this, and couldn't help but smile with the corners of his mouth, and typed: "Okay, okay, I will go back soon I live there. There are a lot of news at school during this time, please help me pay more attention.”

"Hmph, just wait, I won't be named Lu unless I get drunk at the teacher appreciation banquet at the end of the month!"

Chen Fang smiled, but didn't take it seriously.On the WeChat message bar, the class group that was set as a notification-free class was very lively. He clicked on it, and without swiping up a few times, he saw a few people posting their grades in the group. He was in a daze before he remembered Today is just the day when the results of the postgraduate entrance examination are released.

Those who dare to post their grades to the public will naturally do well in the exam.

Looking at the envy and congratulations from the students among the pictures, Chen Fang felt a little bit disappointed.

Six months ago, he also had to get up early and go to bed late to study hard for almost a year in order to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination.

He also once, in his dreams, fantasized about the days after he was admitted to his favorite school.At that time, his life plan had not been disrupted, and his expectations for the future were bright.

But who knows, just a short National Day holiday, everything has changed.

He scooped the fried noodles with a plastic spoon and put them into his mouth. After the fried noodles were heated overnight, they had an unevenly heated oily sheen and an unchanging taste.Chen Fang swallowed almost mechanically, forcing himself to eat half of the bowl before stopping.

Today is February 2th, and the rent was paid for three months in one payment and three places a year ago. Now the landlord is not going to rent anymore. He has to look at the house again, and at least he has to save another half a year's rent The money is enough to sign a new contract.It's just that the salary during the internship period is so little. Now that he has not graduated, the subsidy is even less, and after deducting utilities and loans, there is almost nothing left.

Now that it's graduation season again, it's time to spend money everywhere.

Chen Fang began to swipe and cut unnecessary expenses. The more he calculated, the more he felt overwhelmed, and he began to regret the blind box he bought as a reward the day he first joined the job.

The rabbit placed on the counter has a circle of golden petals around its head, and it is grinning with teeth and claws.Chen Fang sighed in his heart, the happiness of an adult really needs money.

The brightly colored rabbit grinned his teeth and smiled unscrupulously, as confident and sunny as nothing in this world could defeat it.Chen Fang put the rabbit in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully, and suddenly remembered the man who was smiling outside the trendy play store.

President Xue...?That's what Luo Yan called her at the time.

Chen Fang suddenly became curious about this young big boss, so he clicked on his mobile browser and started searching.

After searching the official website for a long time, he couldn't find the name of the management.And he only knew the other party's surname was Xue, so he couldn't find any relevant information at all.

Just as he was thinking, he saw several messages from Luo Yan popping up on the screen.

"Chen Fang, the group directors of the shopping mall will come to inspect in a few days, and the management has asked for a person to accompany them from several stores on the first floor. I sent the information of the employees in the store to them a while ago, and they selected you."

Um?Chen Fang was a little confused, there were so many people in the store, why did he choose him?Him, he still doesn't know anything.

He was a little flustered, but it was obviously a task that had been arranged, and he couldn't refuse, so he could only type: "Ah, do I need to prepare anything?"

"This kind of inspection is basically nothing important, and the directors may not necessarily ask questions. There is a high probability that you are just going through the motions."

Chen Fang looked at the message sent by Luo Yan, and heaved a sigh of relief. Before he was relieved, he saw the other party say: "But because you have no training before, you don't know much about the traditional culture and design concepts of the brand. It still takes some time to memorize it. If the director asks, you will have an answer."

As she said that, she sent four documents in a row, all of which were relevant information that new employees needed to know when they entered the job.

Chen Fang was having a hard time looking at the densely packed text on the document, Luo Yan typed again and said, "Anyway, you should read more and adapt accordingly when the time comes."

After replying "OK", Chen Fang switched off the screen and began to read the document.

Another message popped up on WeChat, he clicked on it, and saw that Luo Yan had pulled him into a WeChat group. The group name simply and clearly read: "February 2 Board of Directors Inspection and Reception", and many people entered the group one after another. People, obviously what Luo Yan just said.

Luo Yan sent a private message: "Change the note, brand name + name, then be more polite, and take the initiative to add people."

"Okay, thank you manager."

Switching back and forth between several windows, Chen Fang honestly opened the group list as Luo Yan said, and quickly added everyone in order.

The WeChat message notification sounded jingling, and he exited the dialog box when he saw the WeChat message sent by Chen Shanjiao.

He frowned and made a video call.

The video rang for a while and was quickly picked up, and Chen Shanjiao's expressionless face appeared on the phone screen.

"Did you not go to the last evening self-study?" Chen Fang looked at the time and asked, it was only 09:30.

"Yeah." She nodded indifferently.

"What did you have for dinner?" Chen Fang was not surprised by her attitude, and didn't care, and continued: "Your head teacher called your aunt, saying that you didn't go to class yesterday."

"Ah."

No matter how good-tempered Chen Fang was, she couldn't help frowning when she saw her calm face, "Tell her that you will go to class tomorrow?"

"Correct."

Chen Shanjiao cherishes words like gold, and even the change of expression is stingy in charity from beginning to end.Chen Fang knew that she was in the sprint stage of her third year of high school and she was under a lot of psychological pressure. Even though she was a little dissatisfied with her current attitude, she didn't know what to say.The two of them faced the screen in silence for a while, and Chen Fang hurriedly said before the other party was about to hang up the video: "If you feel uncomfortable in your heart, just tell brother."

"Although I have to go to work during the day, as long as you leave me a message, I will reply."

There is a five-year age difference between him and this younger sister, but the generation gap is not so big.Until now, he hadn't had a serious chat with this younger sister, and of course he didn't know how to express his concern in a less twisted manner, "Don't keep everything to yourself, you know?"

When Chen Fang said these words, he couldn't hide the embarrassment on his face, and he didn't even dare to look up at her. He only vaguely saw her expression loosen from the corner of his eyes, and then heard the sound coming from the loudspeaker. There was a vague sobbing sound, and before he could distinguish clearly, he saw the screen pause, and with a "beep...", the video was hung up by the other party.

Holding the mobile phone, Chen Fang began to think whether what he said just now was too sensational, which made people feel awkward, and then saw several messages pop up in the dialog box: "My tooth still hurts, how can I talk!"

"It's not a big deal at all, don't listen to your aunt talking nonsense!"

"I know my own affairs well, so don't worry about them!"

"Going to do my homework, goodbye!"

With the irritable tone as always, Chen Fang was relieved a little, only to realize that Chen Shanjiao's face was indeed a little swollen in the video just now, he couldn't help being a little funny, and his heart softened: "Have you run out of money? Is it enough?"

Chen Shanjiao on the opposite side seemed to have really gone to do his homework, and didn't reply in time.After waiting for a while, I sent "enough", and then returned to the state of cherishing words like gold.

Chen Fang smiled and exited the dialog box, only to see another message that Luo Yan just sent.

"Oh, the big boss of the group, Mr. Xue who came to inspect the shopping mall that day is also in the group, don't bother him if you have nothing to do."

The smile on Chen Fang's face froze, and he quickly clicked on the WeChat group he had just been pulled into, and clicked on the upper right corner. After changing the remark name, the format under the avatar was all "brand + position + name", only the first two Individuals disrupt formations.

Taking a closer look, the head portrait of the first person is a simple portrait, and the note reads "Xu Yan, secretary of the general manager of the group".

Looking at it again, the second person's profile picture is a bottle of milk tea hand-painted by cartoons, but on the note, it is impressively written "Group President Xue".

He blinked and repeatedly confirmed that Mr. Xue's profile picture was really a pink and tender cartoon hand-painted milk tea. He couldn't help but howled and fell on the sofa with his head in his arms.

She buried her head like an ostrich and avoided reality for a while, remembering Luo Yan's special instruction just now, she hurriedly got up and sent her a message.

After waiting anxiously for a long time, Chen Fang only received a string of ellipses from her.

Chen Fang only felt that he was more wronged than Dou E: "I didn't expect that he was also in the group. I added it just now before he changed his name..."

Luo Yan sent a message to comfort her: "It's okay, anyway, he probably won't agree, so pay attention next time."

Chen Fang's uneasy heart returned to its original position, and when he exited, he saw a new dialog box under the top message - the hand-painted cartoon milk tea pattern, which was infinitely magnified in Chen Fang's eyes. The pink composition and color scheme are so sweet that they don't match the other party's actual image at all.

The most terrible thing is that there is a red dot marked ① on the upper right corner of the portrait.

Chen Fang swallowed, and clicked on the dialog box.

Mr. Xue, who was told not to disturb by Luo Yan, took the initiative to send two messages.

"Hello."

"I'm Xue Lin."
