The green light turned red, and Lin Qiu stopped in front of the zebra crossing. The mixed-race male model on the huge poster at the entrance of the commercial street opposite was very eye-catching.

The two high school girls on the left were discussing loudly, and Lin Qiu looked up. The male model had deep features, a well-proportioned figure, thick eyelashes and electric eyes, which was indeed very eye-catching.

But Lin Qiu felt that the other party was not as good-looking as Shen Jiaming, and his thin body was not as good as Shen Jiaming.

Shen Jiaming, who is young and successful in his career, is Lin Qiu's college classmate. The friendship has been maintained for the eighth year, and at the same time, he is still the object of his selfish crush.

The two met last Friday. Shen Jiaming returned from a trip to Europe and brought him a souvenir as usual, several boxes of handmade chocolates and tea.

When Shen Jiaming gave the gift to Lin Qiu, the chocolate had just been taken out of the refrigerator. It was not a wise decision to bring this kind of meltable candy all the way from Europe in hot weather.

Lin Qiu asked, "What if the chocolate melts on such a hot day? Actually, you don't have to give it to me..."

Halfway through the speech, he took it back in embarrassment. How could Shen Jiaming buy him chocolates specially? At most, it was for others to choose. Thinking of having such a friend as him, he casually took a few boxes.

So this is not something he should worry about. Even if he reminds the other party not to bring it next time, it will be useless. Someone else is waiting for this far-off intention.

"No, no! Pretend I didn't say anything! You can give chocolates to whoever you want, that's fine."

Shen Jiaming gave him a cold look, "Everyone wants perfume and ties, but you only want these snacks."

The snacks in Shen Jiaming's mouth cost less than one-tenth of the other gifts, and the amount of trouble was far more than other gifts. A good meal makes him even happier.

But the gift brought back with such painstaking efforts was told by the other party that there is no need for it next time, so Shen Jiaming went to the kitchen to get water for a drink with a dark face.

Lin Qiu realized that he had said something wrong, and was thinking about how to make the other party calm down. Before he could figure out a way, he was at Shen Jiaming's house, looking at the photos the other party had exported from the camera, and couldn't help sighing with envy.

Shen Jiaming returned to the living room, took off his suit and silk tie, and sat directly beside him. Regardless of his heart beating to the limit, he glanced at the screen and said coldly, "I feel envious now? I asked you to go with me at that time, you I don't want to."

Lin Qiu smiled in embarrassment, not because he didn't want to, but because he really couldn't go.

Lin Qiu, who has been out of work for three months, checked almost all the office buildings in Nanbei City, but still hasn't found a new job.

The meager savings are enough to cope with the high prices and rent in Nanbei. How can I have spare money for traveling?

Compared with his life full of troubles and stress, the life of his crush, Shen Jiaming, is naturally much easier.

Shen Jiaming has a good family background, and he never knew that lack of money can drive people crazy. In addition, his earning ability is top-notch, so he doesn't understand why Lin Qiu, who has been working for four years, is so stretched when he is unemployed for a few months. .

Although he didn't understand or understand, the other party still asked him out for dinner from time to time. It's normal for friends to help each other. When no one is in trouble, Lin Qiu is always the one who benefits.

He was thin-skinned, and he was willing to come out once or twice, but he would feel ashamed to come out a few more times, and was rejected so much that Shen Jiaming reduced the number of times he invited him to appear.

Of course, the other party also asked him if he needed help, such as introducing job opportunities.

Lin Qiu's last job was an account manager of a securities company, but due to his introverted personality and the sluggish external market, too few clients asked him to open an account to buy and sell stocks, and the commission could not support his salary, so he was eventually laid off by the company.

And Shen Jiaming is very popular in the financial circle. In fact, with Lin Qiu's degree from Nanbei University and Shen Jiaming's connections, as long as he nods, Shen Jiaming can offer him many olive branches.

But Lin Qiu always declined. It would be fine if the other party wasn't Shen Jiaming, but it happened to be Shen Jiaming.

He didn't want Shen Jiaming to look down on him, abandon his life, and protect his self-esteem.

I have already seen the photos, and even deliberately went back and searched for several photos with good scenery, and then chatted with Shen Jiaming to delay the time, just wanting to stay by the other party's side for a while.

But when this trick is used up, there is no reason to stay any longer. Lin Qiu got up and thanked him with a gift, and Shen Jiaming also got up, saying that I will take you back.

Thinking of the noisy and messy street under the narrow and crowded rental house, he didn't want Shen Jiaming to go, "No, I'll catch the subway back. At this time, the subway is already pretty empty."

Shen Jiaming put on his suit jacket, picked up the key on the shoe cabinet, "I'll give it to you, save time, aren't you most afraid of your chocolate melting?"

Although Lin Qiu thought to himself, what kind of an hour's subway journey can be melted this time, at least it will not be more excessive than bringing it back from Europe, but he can spend more time with Shen Jiaming, so he agreed.

The handmade chocolate is really delicious, mellow and slightly bitter in the mouth, followed by a rich sweetness, even after swallowing the sweetness in the mouth, Lin Qiu put it in the refrigerator of the rental house and tasted it sparingly, but one day he found that two pieces were missing , I ate it all in one breath with distress.

Even now, while waiting for the traffic lights to change, he couldn't help swallowing when he recalled the taste.

When the red light turned green, Lin Qiu quickened his pace and crossed the intersection. The stock market is not doing well this year, and it is too difficult to find a job in a securities company. He has already planned to work part-time to solve the problems of living expenses and rent, and then slowly look for a job.

Yesterday I found a part-time job in a coffee shop on the Internet, and agreed to go to the store for an interview in the afternoon. This is the first time I have interviewed a job that has nothing to do with finance. I don't know if the self-introduction he prepared meets the requirements of the other party.

The coffee shop is located in the center of a commercial street with a huge flow of people, among the people coming and going, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of tension, and the heartbeat becomes rapid. Lin Qiu cleared his throat, checked his clothes against the glass window, and then pushed away The door went in.

"Lin Qiu?"

He walked to the order counter and before he explained why he came, someone called out his name first. He looked for the voice and was covered by a large green plant. He poked his head slightly and found a man with a smile on his face Waving at him, it turned out to be Wang Chuang.

His college classmates and Shen Jiaming's relationship should be called friends.

When Wang Chuang yelled, the person who had turned his back on him also turned around. Even though the strong sunlight at noon in August covered half of his face, he was still handsome and eye-catching as usual.

The back with broad and strong shoulders is of course Shen Jiaming.

Feeling guilty, Lin Qiu, who hadn't done anything bad, suddenly flushed his fair face, and his nervous fingers trembled so much that he could barely hold the file bag.

"What a coincidence, Lin Qiu, come and sit down."

In addition to Wang Chuang and Shen Jiaming, there was also a lady who was unfamiliar to Lin Qiu. Wang Chuang signaled to the waiter to order a new order. Lin Qiu reluctantly walked over and heard Shen Jiaming ask, "Why are you here?"

Lin Qiu's heart tightened suddenly, why did he meet himself here?

He was holding a resume in a transparent file bag, and at [-]:[-] p.m. on Tuesday, he said that someone came to have a cup of coffee. Everyone knew that Lin Qiu had no interest in saving money, so who would believe it.

"I didn't know you also like coffee. I just met you today. I'm treating you. I have invested in this store."

"I... no need, I have an appointment with someone for an interview." Lin Qiu looked around and smiled awkwardly, "But I didn't see anyone, I must have gone wrong, you guys talk slowly, I'll go first."

Wang Chuang stood up and greeted him, but he didn't listen. He hurriedly took out his mobile phone and pretended to contact the other party. While searching for a phone number that didn't exist, he walked out quickly as if fleeing for his life.

The one-way subway took one hour and ten minutes and took the same way back.

If you don't want to lose face, if you explain your purpose to Wang Chuang, you may get a part-time job directly without an interview, but Shen Jiaming is also there, and your mouth is tightly sealed.

What else can I do, I have to continue to send my resume to the mailboxes of HR, and after 10 minutes, other applicants will be squeezed to the second page, and then I will open the job-seeking software to find a part-time job.

However, if you want to avoid the stores that Shen Jiaming and his friends invest in or participate in, avoid his network, and add the part-time jobs he can do, the choices in the huge Nanbei City are reduced by half in an instant.

In order to relieve the psychological depression, Lin Qiu went to take a shower, wiped his short hair roughly with a towel in his right hand, opened the charging mobile phone and found a missed call, and couldn't help being startled when he saw the signature, it was Shen Jiaming.

Still here.

Lin Qiu sighed, and quickly dialed Shen Jiaming's phone number. The waiting time was very difficult, and it was difficult to say the next thing. If there was really no other way, he even thought that Shen Jiaming should not call the phone at all. .

It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and it was rare that the other party was still in the company. Lin Qiu heard him say to someone on the phone, 'Wait a minute, I have something urgent here. '

He imagined that Shen Jiaming should now make a gesture to wait for the person who can't wait to report to him, spare his precious working time, and walk to the floor-to-ceiling windows of his spacious office. handsome face.

Lin Qiu couldn't help but blush. His matter was so insignificant that it actually took up Shen Jiaming's overtime time. The courage he finally collected was like a balloon with his fingers not pinched tightly on the blower port, and sent half of it out in a daze.

"I was taking a shower just now, what can you do for me?"

But he still opened his mouth and asked why the other party called him.

Shen Jiaming came to ask about the situation in the afternoon, and Lin Qiu was going to play it off, saying that he had really carelessly misread the coffee shop. You also know that people can be annoying when looking for a job, and it's normal to make mistakes easily.

Shen Jiaming on the other end of the phone couldn't see his face, and didn't know that when he was lying, Lin Qiu blushed guiltily, and felt hot with shame.

Shen Jiaming can be heard asking, have you encountered any difficulties?

Lin Qiu stopped talking, as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't stop crying.

Hitting the wall in interviews, spending money everywhere in life, others are excellent, all kinds of pressure and heartache, he doesn't know who to tell, the family can only announce the good news, the only friend is Shen Jiaming, and he is afraid that the other party will hate him, so he dare not speak out. I had to hold it in my heart.

He really wanted Shen Jiaming to be right in front of him, and he really wanted the relationship between the two of them to be close enough to hug him and cry.

He wanted to cry and complain, the cost of living in a big city is too high, and the pressure to find a job is great, but you will only stay in Nanbei, how hard it is for me to stay by your side.

Shen Jiaming, you don't even know!You don't understand anything!

But he can't say that the other party has no responsibility to know his suffering and feel sorry for him.

Lin Qiu was silent for a long time, and finally calmed down, he asked Shen Jiaming, are you still there?

The other party didn't hang up the phone, and the other party answered. Lin Qiu lowered his voice and had no courage. He was thin-skinned but wanted to open the wound. He told the other party about his plight, but the other party didn't have any words of comfort or encouragement.

After listening to Lin Qiu intermittently talking about the situation, there was silence for a while and said, "Is the rent a problem?"

Shen Jiaming just went to see the community he shared. Such an ordinary community, poor environment, and rent can put pressure on him. Lin Qiu didn't know how much the other party would look down on him in his heart. He was afraid that Shen Jiaming would say the next sentence, but he didn't expect If you've messed up like this, friends, it's better not to be a friend.

He held the phone nervously, and spent three seconds organizing his words during the silence between the two sides. He was about to ask Shen Jiaming to borrow money, but he heard Shen Jiaming say.

"Then you can move here, I still have a spare room in my house.

Lin Qiu was startled, his hands trembled slightly, and his voice also trembled, "It's too much trouble for you. If it's convenient, can you lend me the next quarter's rent..."

"The environment of the community you live in is a problem, and safety is also a problem. You can just move here."

Shen Jiaming's tone could not be rejected, and the next life suddenly came to an end, and the big stone in Lin Qiu's heart also fell heavily.

How much trouble can Shen Jiaming bring about from a small person like himself?Even if it is the pressure that makes him breathless, the other party can solve it without too much trouble.

Standing at the peak, Shen Jiaming is naturally not like him lying in the trough. He is always on guard against being soaked by the sewage seeping out of the ground and then soaking his trousers. He lives under heavy pressure, but the other party lives in it. Colorful, everything can be controlled with ease.

There was a clang, and there was the sound of an iron door falling heavily. The roommate in the shared room was very hot-tempered, but the noise woke Lin Qiu who was in a daze, and he hurriedly said to the phone, "I'm sorry to trouble you again. "

Looking back now, it is also true when a securities company came to the school to hold a campus job fair. Shen Jiaming, who is also a finance major, dragged him to the interview. The classmates who arrived early were surprised why Shen Jiaming came, and the prince also needed to find a job like them. ?

With his family background, diamonds and gold have long been paved with his exclusive Sunshine Avenue, so there is no need to come here to compete with them for jobs and fight to the death on the single-plank bridge.

Shen Jiaming accompanied him to walk around the whole venue. Lin Qiu began to back off when he saw the long queue with nowhere to go. His modest expression was too obvious. He had no intention of hiding his lack of confidence and fear, and was immediately seen through.

Shen Jiaming almost half-carried him to the end of the longest line, and the other party asked coldly, don't you really need internship experience?

One of the interviewers is a securities analyst who often goes on TV to analyze the stock market and comment on stocks. Lin Qiu watches that program from time to time, and he has always seen that person calmly talking about the recent stock trend and analyzing the market curve. I have never seen him so enthusiastic , just to invite Shen Jiaming, who is still a student at school, to join his team.

Shen Jiaming said calmly, passing his gaze to Lin Qiu from time to time, causing the man to rest on Lin Qiu for a few seconds before asking his name, and quickly pulling out Lin Qiu's resume from the pile of paper piled up like a hill , browsed through it sloppily, and said yes, you and your friend come in for an internship, and then gave Lin Qiu an internship position as a customer manager.

Before the internship period was over, Shen Jiaming went abroad to study for graduate school, and he stayed in that company. Later, he graduated and returned to China to join the job, and his salary was one above the other.

Just thinking about it this way, thinking of the work that allowed him to solve the problem of food and clothing for more than four years in this big city with no means to support him, this is actually how he came about.
