suboptimal happiness

It was only a day after Guan Chengyi's half-believed news, and these few interested people confirmed it almost invariably.Because of the simple and concise regular meeting on Monday morning, Guan Chengzhi was informed to go to the provincial capital city with Lao Gu for a week-long training on Tuesday.You must know that everyone in the sub-branch has their own main positions, such as the joint bank counter, the settlement counter, and the cash teller, although they are all ordinary positions in the bank, but they still have a lot of people's hearts.A cash teller job is one of the dirtiest, lowest-level jobs that everyone hates.The training usually involves the central bank or the head office updating software and issuing new policies, and the corresponding personnel go to learn, that is to say, the new policy of the Union Bank must remove personnel from the counter of the Union Bank to participate in the training, but the sincerity is not the counter of the Union Bank but Wu Zimu The sub-branch in the development zone is responsible for sending and receiving electronically.

Ignoring the skeptical, probing and slightly unkind eyes of the two people who sent and received at the counter of the Union Bank, Guan Chengyi walked into the counter with the colleagues who had adjourned, and started his new week's work.He noticed that Lao Gu at the counter of the Union Bank did not come out, which reassured him instead.Dare to leave questions or ask the leader for information, at least he will know that he is not a threat. Guan Cheng expects that the leader will not be so boring as to make fun of the old man and catch his appetite. I believe that he will change after training.Sure enough, the next day, Lao Gu was relaxed at work, and his partner did not hesitate to give Guan Cheng a friendly smile.

Lao Gu and Guan Chengyi participated in the study together, and the colleagues in each branch knew that this kid would also belong to the counter of their joint bank in the future. As long as Guan Chengyi did not affect his own interests, Lao Gu would also generously give him advice.There are no study arrangements for the two days of the weekend. Guan Chengyi has a college bedmate here. He originally made an appointment for the weekend to be a landlord, but the director of Zimu came on Friday night and asked Chengyi to accompany him on Saturday.Sincerity understands that the director is his nobleman, although this nobleman doesn't know why he bought the face of Zimu, a junior, but the benefit falls on himself, so he should thank him anyway.After breaking the contract with a college friend, Guan Chengzhi drove the director's car, and drove the car to a community under the command.

After getting off the car, Guan Chengzhi knew that the director had gone home to visit his parents.Regardless of the director's objection, he trotted all the way to the fruit stand at the entrance of the community and bought two baskets of expensive white jade loquats and a box of imported big cherries.There are not many types, but anyone who knows the goods knows that the white jade loquat tastes good, and the price is getting more expensive every year. It is really not a fruit that ordinary people can afford.When Chengxin ran back, the director was standing at the door of the house. Seeing that Chengxin would come, he didn't even have to say polite words. He only nodded in satisfaction and took the fruit in his hand to call him to change his shoes.

The director's parents' house is on the first floor, and they have a small yard. Just now, the director opened the yard door to wait for him.Seeing the old man with completely gray hair, he bowed slightly to greet him sincerely and politely: "Grandpa, grandma."

The two elders answered in unison, and looked at Guan Chengyi carefully. Grandma seemed to have bad legs and feet, so she didn't stand up, but grandpa pulled him to sit down, very kindly.

Guan Chengyi was born in a small family, but he rarely suffers from stage fright.What's more, the director's family seems to have a good economy, and it is not a well-known family with three rules, but he is just confused by the old man's loving eyes.They asked a lot of personal questions about Chengyi, family situation, income of single mothers, etc., and they felt embarrassed every time they heard an answer. I can't help but feel sorry for him, a child without a father.

Guan Chengyi was a little overwhelmed, and was already "staring" at the smiling director who was listening.

"Sincerely, your grandparents like you and care about you."

"Director, do you have a daughter?" Guan Chengyi couldn't laugh or cry, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like seeing a parent.

"Pearl, don't be busy in the kitchen, wash some fruit for the guests."

Guan Chengyi saw a handsome woman holding a fruit plate and put it beside him, then smiled slightly: "You eat."

"My niece, Pearl, is shy. She can't speak when she sees strangers, and she can't find a partner on her own. We have to be elders."

Guan Chengyi looked at Pearl who was sitting next to grandma, she was indeed a very quiet woman, she nodded and smiled at herself to express her kindness but said little.Guan Chengxin had guessed about the face value between the director and Zimu, and whether the director had recruited him to be his son-in-law, but based on his age, he guessed that he shouldn't have such an older daughter.Now that the answer is revealed, it really is half a son-in-law. I'm not too surprised, but I don't understand why the director chose me.

Afterwards, Guan Chengyi didn't make the scene awkward or cold, and even took the initiative to chat with Pearl at the dinner table, and the women became less nervous and interacted with each other.Grandma and grandpa even tried their best to praise their granddaughter. Although there is a nanny, the nanny also cooperates to order which dish is cooked with pearls, and how virtuous pearls are in the kitchen.

After the meal, the old man wanted to rest, and the director also went back to his room to take a nap. The two young ones didn't like to watch TV, so they sat in the yard under the shade of a tree and continued to "understand".Pearl is actually an undergraduate majoring in finance and economics, and works in a small savings bank in this city. Because her parents died early, she has been brought up by her grandparents.

Guan Chengxin had just met a person who had no emotional foundation, and he had to be cautious as he was thinking about the director's hand-picking.Judging from the appearance, Pearl is a delicate woman, and she didn't see her doing housework, but the dishes just now tasted good. Although she doesn't have parents or dowry, she also doesn't have a tired family, and he doesn't plan to rely on his wife's natal family for support.There is only one thing, Guan Chengyi thinks that Zhuzhu is too small and Jiabiyu, it seems that she is not very good at dealing with people, and her speech is soft and weak.This kind of personality works in the bank, or will work with the director in the future. It is estimated that her collection of deposits is all the work of the director, and it is not a sincere character to accept help from others for a long time.

When the director condescended to send Guan Chengxin back to the training center, he sincerely expressed his high expectations for him: "Pearl is almost my daughter. Because she has no parents, she is timid and weak. I am not at ease. I think you are also a good young man, capable, responsible, and caring for your family. There are not many young people who are as down-to-earth as you. Although Pearl is three years older than you, my niece is definitely a good Daughter-in-law candidates. As the saying goes, a third-year girl holds gold bricks. You get along well in the future. I will transfer Pearls to relax in a savings bank with few right and wrong. You are in my development zone. , you and Zhuzhu are compatible with our family, but if we don’t, it’s not fate and our elders won’t make things difficult for us.”

Guan Chengzhi played a flower gun, but he also had no choice but to move out of his mother: "Director, I have to thank you for taking me to your house. Pearl is very good, but you know that I was a single parent since I was a child, and my mother devoted all her energy to me." Yes, my mother must also like the matter of finding a partner. I remember my mother said before, because I don’t have a complete family, I hope that the person I am looking for has complete parents, so that I can also feel respected by parents... ..."

"That's not a problem. Pearl's household registration is in our family. She is my daughter. She has a father and a mother. If you want to be filial to me, you can treat me as my half son."Guan Chengyi obediently got out of the car and went back to continue thinking.

The first impression is that Pearl is a nice woman, but not the type she wants.However, it will take some more in-depth contact to know whether it is really impossible for the two of them.Three years older, according to Guan Chengxin's plan to have a child at 30, but Pearl is 33 years old, which is a bit late for girls.In advance, if Guan Chengyi changes jobs, it is also possible to plan a big leap.Guan Chengyi is not against getting in touch and getting to know him. What he worries about is that after getting to know him, he really won't be his kind of food, so he won't be able to escape.

On Sunday, Guan Chengzheng went to Zhang Fan's house, where he shared a bed with the university, and explained yesterday's impromptu relapse, but he didn't hide it.Zhang Fan did not join the bank after graduation, but took the path of a securities company. Except that he was good in college, he also gave Chengyi a few good stocks after graduation, which is really profitable.Because Zhang Fan is going to get married this November, so his girlfriend is here today, so I can introduce him to my buddies.

Zhang Fan felt that Guan Chengyi had no choice and had to deal with it first, otherwise it would be difficult for the director to turn over in this life without shame.He is not in the bank, but his partner is also a bank. The director of a branch is Tuhuang. The cash bonus issued by the head office is based on the performance of each branch, but in the branch, how much each person gets depends on the director.Besides, there is no place, so why worry about it, maybe the two bastards will fall in love with each other when they see mung beans.

After Guan Chengxin came back from studying, the boss really asked him to follow Lao Gu to familiarize himself with the business at the counter of the Union Bank.And at noon on Friday, Zimu actually drove over in their director's car. Lunch time was limited, and Lu Yi also came out to eat with them. And also gave the oil stuck in the hand buckle.It has become an undisclosed secret sincerity to transfer away, and now Lu Yi knows the truth further.Sincerely, I can't say anything wrong with the director. This uncle seems to really think about his niece. An uncle who contributes money and effort is equivalent to abandoning himself compared to his father. The director at least makes people feel warm.

He sincerely accepted and tried dating, but he didn't want to rush the triple jump, so grandpa wanted to keep him and live at home, and he still went to Zhang Fan's house to spend the night.Zhang Fan and his girlfriend naturally made fun of him and gossip about him getting along with Pearl.Sincerity can’t say it’s bad, but Pearl is well-behaved, quiet, and gentle. She doesn’t look like a modern girl. Knowing that he is coming, she waits at the door and squats down to get her slippers. Take off your shoes, this is not a comfortable move for Guan Chengyi who still has a sense of strangeness.

Guan Chengxin's frankness made the unmarried couple laugh. He had no experience with girls, so he thought he was asking for advice before he said it.Zhang Fan admitted that Pearl was a bit too virtuous, but he also added a suggestion worthy of sincere acceptance: "Don't you think you have a strong personality?"

The two words of strength, Guan Chengyi never felt that it was reflected in himself.

"You will definitely be the leading party in the family in the future. Sincerity, you just didn't realize it. We already felt it. You look gentle, you have an honest idea, and you are decisive and straightforward. I really think you are looking for such an obedient wife. , you find someone with the character of my girl, who is also super assertive, and you can PK eight times a day, and you can fight in your dreams." Zhang Fan covered his chest and uttered the truth after being hammered by his girlfriend.

Guan Chengyi told his mother about Pearl on the phone on Sunday night, and his mother encouraged him to get in touch and understand his character.After hearing the sincerity, Pearl was too shy, and he didn’t know if he could afford it in the future. His mother suggested that he could inquire about Pearl’s work performance in the unit and how he gets along with his colleagues.This really reminded him that Zhang Fan's girlfriend is from the banking system, so it would not be difficult to know the basic situation.

Sincerity did not expect that when he entrusted Zhang Fan, his ordinary life would be turbulent from then on, the ideal conditions he had worked so hard to achieve were destroyed, and his life was completely shut out by the ideal state.

Maybe it's because there are no secrets among the same industry, maybe it's because Zhang Fan's girlfriend is too dedicated.On Wednesday morning, I received a call from Zhang Fan, where he yelled at the director as a grandson, a despicable person, and then said: "I can't say it, I only know about it, Miaoer (Zhang Fan's fiancee) called me, she said They said that someone passed by your side today, she packed a file bag for you, you can understand by yourself."

Sincerely guessed that something was wrong, it was just that it was inconvenient to talk at work, so he didn't call back.In the afternoon, because of a refund from a foreign bank, he had to go out with Lao Gu again. He was worried about leaving, and told the security guards and colleagues that someone would come to find him, so please call him.After finishing the work, Lao Gu didn't go back to the unit at all and went straight home, Guan Chengyi went back to the business first.The colleagues were almost gone, and the security guard pointed to the document bag on his desk, because the person who came put down his things and left in a hurry, so he didn't call.

Guan Chengyi couldn't wait to open the file bag at the ATM machine that didn't need to be locked. After entering the handwriting, not only did his face turn gray, but even cold sweat broke out from his palms.I don't know how long it took to stand still, when someone came in to withdraw money and glanced at him in surprise, Guan Chengyi just vaguely knew that he couldn't stay here all the time.

Completely subconsciously, he repeated his daily journey, but he didn't stop to scratch his hair, and he didn't hold his breath and enter the vegetable market with uneven breath.Of course, Shi Linhao felt that something was wrong with the little white-collar worker, especially when he picked up two bags of vegetables, handed himself a document bag and left.The ten yuan vegetable money every day will not be specially wrapped up today, open the bag, 2 pieces of paper, pour it out, there is no money, pat it down again, still no money.Look at the paper, it's a credit note?Shi Linhao quickly read the first one. What a mess, I don't know what to say, so he went to the second one before finishing reading.

After all, Vendor Shi didn't give it for nothing, and the words on the second sheet cleared up his confusion.With a snort and a laugh, he threw the two pieces of paper and pulled the cloth to cover the stall.The remaining few vegetables were collected in a basket in advance, picked up and left.After leaving the stall, I walked a few steps, lowered my head, stepped on the things I just threw away on my feet, subconsciously knocked on my shoes, and then I was no longer entangled with the paper that would be swept away by the aunt who swept the garbage.Shi Linhao hesitated, put the vegetable basket back to his stall, picked up two pieces of paper and quickly chased it out.
