Flying doesn't work

Shao Lian graduated with a master's degree when he was 24 years old, and was hired by a good company FG in the United States. After working for two years, he had an opportunity to come to China to work as the team leader of a project.If he completes the project, although it is not sure whether he will stay in the headquarters or the branch, but the promotion is certain.Faced with this opportunity, Shao Lian hesitated for a while before choosing to return to China to work hard.

This time, FG sent a project manager and two project team leaders to China. The three of them stayed in a hotel and were going to report tomorrow. Shao Lian served as the team leader of the publicity team, and the other project team leader. It is American Cody who is in charge of product design. Although the project manager Tom is also American, but because of his long-term business contact with China, and it is said that he minored in Chinese in college, he gave himself a Chinese name. Tang Yuanlai means coming from afar.

Shao Lian and Tang Yuanlai are not familiar, but they do know Ke Di. Ke Di joined the company two years earlier than Shao Lian, and took good care of Shao Lian when he was a complete newcomer.In the evening, Cody asked Shao Lian to go to the hotel bar for a drink and talk about his feelings after coming to China.

After the other party explained all his unaccustomed habits, Shao Lian asked strangely, "Kodi, you can't speak Chinese, and you didn't participate in this design, why did you sign up?" He paused, and then Say, "Weren't you working on another project before?"

Cody shrugged, "I don't know, I didn't sign up, but the company assigned me. But I'm in charge of system issues, and I don't need to know too much about Chinese culture." Cody's tone was full of doubts , Shao Lian had no choice but to comfort him, "This is also an opportunity, you know, the chances of promotion will be higher for expatriates after they return."

Then he said jokingly: "You can just think of it as an experience of foreign people."

It was reported the next day, the two didn't drink much, and went back to their rooms after talking nonsense.

""Youtu" is the latest online game design proposed by our company, and its main consumption target is the Chinese market. For this reason, the headquarters has specially sent a project manager and two team leaders over here. Welcome." General Manager of FG China Branch After Shao Lian and the others reported it, they called all the people involved in the "Youtu" project over for a meeting.

Tang Yuanlai was the first to stand up and introduce himself. Although he spoke Chinese with a little accent, it was already within the range that people could understand. I am no stranger, in the game "Youtu", I am mainly responsible for the design and promotion, and Manager Qin," he continued after nodding to the man sitting on the left of the general manager, "will be responsible for other work .”

Manager Qin was a man with a very kind face. He also nodded to Tang Yuanlai with a friendly smile on his face.

Tang Yuanlai continued to introduce, "This is Cody, who is in charge of system design, and this is Shao Lian, who is in charge of advertising."

Cody can't speak Chinese, so he simply introduced himself in English.

"My name is Shao Lian." After Cody sat down, Shao Lian stood up gracefully and said calmly, "I am a Chinese, but my Chinese is quite passable. I hope to have a pleasant cooperation with you."

In the afternoon, the company's female bios spread all over the place. The handsome Tang Yuanlai, who often came to give eye-catching benefits, also brought gossip about two other handsome guys. The odds are very high in the first few days.

Perhaps the publicity team wanted to know more about this new team leader, so Shao Lian had already gone out for dinner twice within a few days of coming to the publicity team.But friendship is born at the dinner table. Although Shao Lian is far from reaching the point where he can hook up with someone, as the team leader, he has a certain understanding of the entire team members.Lao Li is an old man in the publicity team, with a low position but rich experience; Ji Ranran is an advertising designer, a chatty girl, but full of talent and innovation; Wang Li is a publicity planner, very smooth.These three people are the main force of the propaganda team, but they all get along well with Shao Lian, at least for now, no one can pick on Shao Lian.

The place to eat today is the hotel where Shao Lian lived, and he will be able to live in the apartment arranged for him by the company in two days, so celebrating the housewarming in advance became another reason for eating again.

To be honest, Shao Lian didn't really like this kind of lifestyle of socializing at every turn, but he had no choice but to follow the customs when he entered the country, so he could only bite the bullet and talk and laugh with others.

Halfway through the meal, Shao Lian got up and went to the bathroom, passing by a private room in the middle, and found out that a group of people were holding a class reunion, and it was so noisy and lively.

There were two young men smoking in the bathroom, both wearing suits and ties, a standard fit for social elites.

"Just now you said what happened to Lin Hua? Is it useless?" A man asked doubtfully, "Did he get into a car accident?"

The other man's voice instantly had a hint of gloating, "You don't know, do you? Back then, Lin Hua had such excellent grades, but she was still a poor classmate. After graduation, she insisted on doing research, but ended up bumping into walls everywhere, and then became mentally ill!"

"Why isn't it normal?"

"The squad leader went to invite him that day, and it showed that no one answered the phone. Later, the squad leader came to the door and found that he was actually cultivating immortals! Don't you think this is useless? I guess he is a little mentally abnormal."

"It turned out to be the class monitor. No wonder. I still remember the time when Yu Shan liked Lin Hua and rejected him."

"You didn't even see the monitor's face when he said this. He was so proud. I thought he won the lottery."

……

Shao Lian was listening, and the more he listened, the more he felt that what they were talking about was the same person he knew, and the more he listened, the more unpleasant it became.It happened that he and these two people went out of the bathroom one after another and dropped in on the way, so Shao Lian has been listening to them talking about Lin Hua, laughing at Lin Hua, who was once a high-spirited student in college, and now reduced to a joke in people's eyes.

Seeing them walk into the private room where the class reunion was held, the door of the private room read "Class 09 class reunion of the History Department of XX University in [-]".

In 2009, exactly two years ago, that is, the year Shao Lian graduated, XX University was also the school that the aunt told me some time ago.

Shao Lian stopped at the door of the private room for a while, then turned and left silently.

That night, Shao Lian began searching the Internet for what "cultivating immortals" is.

At first, he thought it might be similar to yoga, because he had to meditate or something, but gradually he felt a little ashamed.

First he was startled by bigu, how can he do without eating? !

And crossing the catastrophe, oh my god, isn't that going out to be struck by lightning?

Finally the last one frightened Shao Lian, alchemy!

Through the understanding of alchemy, Shao Lian has regarded cultivating immortals as a thing comparable to cults, so he actually eats mercury and copper, and mixes them?

In Shao Lian's mind, the scene of Lin Hua accidentally ingesting the poisonous substance and foaming at the mouth appeared, and he couldn't help shivering.

Do you want to stop him?He hesitated.But thinking of what Lin Hua said last time, Shao Lian denied this idea again in his mind, not to mention whether he had the right to control him, what if Lin Hua didn't eat those messy things?

But after a while, Shao Lian unconsciously remembered the sarcastic remarks he heard tonight...

Lin Hua was woken up at eleven o'clock in the evening, and he thought in a daze, who would come to him so late?So Lin Hua didn't even take as long to answer the door as before.Opening the small window, he saw the face in front of him, and all his drowsiness disappeared.

"Why is it you again!?" Lin Hua exclaimed, why did this person come again?

Shao Lian said anxiously, "Open the door first, I have something to ask you."

Seeing his anxious expression, Lin Hua reluctantly opened the door.

Standing in the living room, Lin Hua unexpectedly resumed the tone of the monk in clothes, "What are you doing?"

Shao Lian was speechless when he realized that this man was still wearing that Taoist robe at such a late hour. He took a deep breath and asked seriously, "Are you practicing alchemy?"

"What?" Lin Hua didn't expect that this person came to ask this question, and was a little stunned.

"I said, are you alchemy?" Shao Lian repeated.

Lin Hua was a little puzzled, why did this guy suddenly care about such a "professional" issue?However, the long-term pretentious life made him answer almost reflexively, "The way of heaven is obscure, and the journey of alchemy is a matter of three-point luck. The poor way has not yet involved this way."

Shao Lian turned this sentence in his head three times this time, and barely recognized the meaning, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked in confirmation, "So you haven't made alchemy yet?"

When Lin Hua was told this, she felt that the subtext of the other party was "You haven't made alchemy yet", so she couldn't help but hummed angrily.

Shao Lian was finally relieved now, and immediately persuaded, "You must not make alchemy. I checked the information and found out that it is poisonous. Mercury will kill you if you eat it."

When Lin Hua heard him say that he had checked the information specially, and that he came here so late to ensure his safety, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and said in a normal way, "I know it's poisonous."

Shao Lian felt that the atmosphere between the two was not so tense, sighed, and said, "I met a classmate today, it's Class 09 of the History Department of XX University in [-]. That's the class you were in when you were in college, right?"

Lin Hua's pupils shrank, but she lowered her head without speaking.

"I didn't mean to snoop, I just overheard something." Shao Lian continued on his own, "You can also think that I'm meddling, but I really mean it well."

"You encountered a lot of setbacks at the time, but how can you use such an excuse to escape from reality? Look at your current appearance, are you embarrassed to let Uncle Lin and Aunt Li see it?"

"I told you to leave it alone." Lin Hua became agitated again.

Shao Lian felt that this person was really stubborn and self-closing, and he became angry again, but this time he was not as speechless as last time, and Shao Lian's voice became louder, "I don't want to care! But Your family has taken care of me for four years, and I must at least repay the two old people." He stared at Lin Hua, "You don't have a job now, so you can live off their inheritance? So you still have the nerve to visit their graves and face each other. Against their cards?"

Lin Hua choked when she heard the last sentence, grave sweeping?He has never been there.

Shao Lian saw that he had the upper hand this time, so he took advantage of the victory to pursue, stood up and said, "Stand up, I'll shave your beard and cut your hair."

Lin Hua's eyes widened. When did she develop into shaving her beard and cutting her hair?

The author has something to say: Lin Hua is a good-for-nothing who evades reality...
