I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 342 The Pleasure of Making Money

On the street with people coming and going, I looked left and right, and gradually, sweat came out on my forehead. I was standing at a crossroads, and I was not sure which direction the owner of the back went with the crowd. I was like a bead Lost in the dense crowd, I was afraid that I would miss that figure because of this momentary wrong choice...

However, if it was really Ye Zhi, since he had already come to Dali, why didn't he come to see me?

I was suddenly very lost, because I knew that this was just an illusion of mine, I didn't even see her side face, so how can I conclude that she is Ye Zhi with just a back view?
I really miss her so much, so even if it is such a small opportunity, I don't want to miss it.

I gritted my teeth, and then chose the road with the least number of people and ran away. If it was really Ye Zhi, she would prefer a quieter place, that's all I can judge...

From the street of this road to the end of the street, I quickly looked at all the people on this street, but I didn't see the back that made my heart beat wildly...

My mood is even lower, did I choose the wrong path?Or, that figure from the back is just imagined by me, even if it really exists, who can guarantee that she is Ye Zhi?

The strength in my body suddenly seemed to be emptied. I slumped on a bench by the street, lowered my head to light a cigarette for myself, and then looked up at all kinds of faces in a daze... …

I find it unbelievable, why would such a person say that he is not there and then he is gone?I hate the so-called "accidents" even more. These days after I came back from Thailand, I stopped watching any social news, because I didn't want to see on the news, who fell into the river and drowned, and which highway had traffic accidents? What kind of car accident, how many people died...

I always feel that these are all fake, unless I see it with my own eyes... I began to become idealistic, thinking that as soon as I close my eyes, this world will cease to exist, and when I really die, this world will also disappear Forever ceased to exist.

I even turned this idea into a logic in my heart: because this world still exists, it proves that Ye Zhi is still in the world, otherwise, for her, this world would no longer exist.

Admittedly, this logic is convoluted and very strange, but I am still willing to believe it, and even use it as the motivation to wait, I still want to see her again... Especially at this time, I wish she could hug her gently behind her back I, and then said "I'm back, you don't have to wait any longer..."

However, the streets and eyes are full of unfamiliar faces... and my sense of loss probably comes from this!
……

Back to the Hunan restaurant where I just ate, all the people present looked at me with very strange eyes. They didn't know why I only talked halfway, so they ran out suddenly, and I didn't know how to talk to them. Explain, so just sat down in silence, and then chose to be silent again.

Lu Jia, who was sitting next to me, gently pushed my arm, and then asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"It's all right."

Lu Jia looked at me suspiciously again, but didn't ask any more questions.

The one who broke the silence again was Manager Wu who was in charge of business development. After she took out a tissue and wiped her mouth, she said to us: "I heard from Designer Lu that the three of you have known each other since we were in Shanghai. It’s hard for me to come to Dali here once, and I want to go shopping, so I won’t chat with you much... However, I am very satisfied with the result this time, and hope that the cooperation will go smoothly.”

Chen Jin echoed: "Cheng Lie, we are also very satisfied, please go around here first, if you need help, feel free to call me, I am here on call."

Manager Wu thanked Chen Jin, then picked up his handbag and left.

……

After the three of us sent off Manager Wu, we returned to the restaurant.I don't know why, but when the three of us sat together, I felt like I had nothing to say. I just kept silent, Chen Jin was smoking, and Lu Jia was fiddling with the wine glass in his hand, and didn't say much.

The one who finally broke the silence was Chen Jin. He smiled and asked Lu Jia, "I heard that you went abroad to study abroad, why are you going to the company in Chengdu to do design now?"

Lu Jia took a sip of beer, and then replied with a smile in a chatty tone: "It can be considered a coincidence... Some time ago, Chengdu hosted an international fashion festival. I participated on behalf of our school, and I also have works Exhibited, it happened to be favored by this company, and they expressed to me the idea of ​​wanting me to work in their company."

Chen Jin sighed: "It's true that there are surprises everywhere in life, but if you go to work in their company now, won't it affect your study abroad?"

"It doesn't matter, I can continue to study abroad, but I have to stay in their company to work after graduation... Actually, I'm not particularly busy with my studies now, and design can be done anywhere, so their company's projects, Even in a foreign country, I can participate in the design."

"Understood. During your study abroad period, it's a part-time job. After graduation, it's a full-time job..."

"Yes, that's understandable."

Chen Jin smiled, and said again: "There is a question that may be more acute, but I still want to ask you... You said that you are a native Shanghai girl, why are you willing to go to Chengdu to work?... I have been working in Chengdu for so many years. From what you know, it doesn't seem to fit your life plan."

"You say that, do you think Chengdu is not good?... Be careful to become the public enemy of the people of Chengdu!"

Lu Jia obviously wanted to use this tactful way to bring this topic to the past, but Chen Jin didn't think so, and he said: "Although Chengdu is not bad now, compared with Shanghai, a first-tier international city, it's still not as good. Not a lot."

After being silent for a while, Lu Jia replied in a low voice: "People change. You left Shanghai and came to Dali... What's more, I think it's a blessing to meet a company that values ​​me so much at the fashion festival." This kind of fate... I was in Shanghai before, but no company was willing to give me such a high salary and trust..."

Speaking of this, Lu Jia turned to me and said: "Mi Gao, no one knows my situation better than you. Do you think the job I got in Chengdu is better than the job I got in Shanghai before? A particularly big improvement?"

"It has improved a lot."

"Right, a city is a city, and a job is a job. Why should they be confused?... Besides, I only heard that some people live for work, but I have never heard of it. Who lives for a city? This work and Between cities, who is more important and who is more important, do you still need to argue?"

Chen Jin put his hands behind his head, and after posing an extremely relaxed pose, he replied with a smile: "Not necessarily, at least after I came to Dali, I felt that I lived for this city... It's really free and comfortable here!... Even if you set up a street stall on the street every day, no one will laugh at you or gossip about you... Everyone will only think that you have seen through life; People think very noble... In other cities, try doing this... If you don't want to make progress, you will be sprayed to death!"

"Hehe... Is Dali really as magical as you say?"

"Our place to eat is not obvious... You can go deep into the small community here to have a look when you have time; rich people, big directors, and small stars will also chat with the waiters in the coffee shop in full swing... On the spiritual level, there is no such distinction here..." After a short pause, Chen Jin added: "However, in terms of material... it must be that the rich live here more comfortably, so here Big villas are the most expensive, which is quite realistic!...It is indeed unavoidable... Otherwise, wouldn't it really be a paradise!"

Lu Jia smiled noncommittally, then changed the topic, chatted with us some irrelevant gossip, and then we ended the meal... But from the beginning to the end, we never mentioned Ye Zhi. Name, even Lu Jia, who didn't know it, didn't wonder what kind of state Ye Zhi and I are in now.

……

Three days later, Lao Jin brought the keys to Chen Yi's 6 shops from Nanjing; in addition, there was a contract that I had sent him earlier, and the contract had been signed by Chen Yi's mother... At first , I was also worried about whether there would be disputes in such a proxy contract, but Lao Jin told me that Chen Yi had a very serious mental problem and was no longer able to bear civil liability, so the contract was signed by her mother. It would be more appropriate to sign on behalf of you.

Two days later, Lu Jia's clothing company transferred the rent to our studio account. According to the rental agreement we signed with the owner, we don't need to pay them the rent for the first year, so the 20 The rental profit of the rent all fell to our studio.

Chen Jin withdrew all the 20 yuan from the bank into cash, and then put it on our conference table. He said to me with special emotion: "Mi Gao, looking at so much money, Do you have the pleasure?... 20, if it were placed in Shanghai, how long would we have to work to earn so much money?... But now, we did it in one day!!"

I didn't have words, and I didn't feel the pleasure that Chen Jin said, and I even felt lost...

I know this state is terrible, because even money can no longer stimulate my excitement... These days, I only want to chat with Director Ma about life and Buddhism, and only when I encounter some truths that can make me enlightened. You will get some excitement.

Compared to Chen Jin, I seem to have become a different kind.

Just when the atmosphere seemed weird because of the extreme existence of me and Chen Jin, Yang Sisi suddenly pushed the door open and entered our meeting room. She first looked at me, then at Chen Jin, and finally set her sights on The 20 cash on the table...

She is the third person to see the money besides Chen Jin and me, but I don't know if she can share Chen Jin's happiness and feel my heart is still like water.
