Chestnuts are ripe

Xue Lin keenly felt that Chen Fang had become indifferent towards him recently.

It's not the point of keeping a distance out of politeness, but the kind of indifference that doesn't want to talk to you more.

He couldn't say exactly what changed, but he could feel that his response to himself suddenly became negative.

He frowned, seeing that the other party sent only a perfunctory three words "ha ha ha" when he had nothing to say, and felt that something was wrong, but it was impossible to ask directly—in case the other party found out after pointing it out In fact, if there is nothing wrong at all, wouldn't this make him appear too glass-hearted?

The best solution is to meet face to face.

As if seeing what Xue Lin was thinking, Xu Yan walked into the office with a stack of documents in his arms, and put them down beside the table without leaving him any room to interrupt: "These are the contracts and documents that will be used in tomorrow's meeting. I have sorted all the materials, please look over them, Mr. Xue."

Xue Lin: "..."

The plan to skip work was blocked by the conscientious secretary. Xue Lin sighed, looked at Chen Fang's reply in WeChat, and put down the phone full of thoughts.

Seeing that the other party finally stopped sending messages, Chen Fang breathed a sigh of relief, but when he exited the dialog, he saw the message from Lu Yanyi: "Why didn't you take the flowers?"

In the photos I sent, the pink camellias inserted in the plastic bottles had fully bloomed, and the slender branches seemed to be unable to support the huge flowers with their heads slightly lowered, revealing a decadent atmosphere.

He lowered his eyebrows and said word by word, "Throw it away for me."

Chen Fang stared at the photo, he couldn't remember the joy he felt when he received the flowers.He knew that this kind of flowers that had left the soil could not live for a week even with surprise care, but when he really saw the bunch of flowers that were half withered and about to wither, he felt inexplicably sad.

Even he himself couldn't figure it out, obviously it was something that he knew would happen from the beginning, but when it really happened, he still felt very disappointed.It's like something you never got, but when you lose it, you will be sadder than anyone else.

What are you sad about?Sad anyone else has at least briefly?But after all, it is something that is not suitable for me. Even if I don't throw it away today, I will throw it away tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, even a certain day in the future.

As the old saying goes, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain, isn't it?

He sniffled, put the phone back in his pocket, and turned to walk out of the lounge.

No matter how depressed the mood is, it cannot be brought to work.

Although Chen still had a polite smile on his face, and his etiquette when receiving guests could not be faulted at all, anyone who knew him well could see that he was in a bad mood at this time.

Especially compared to the previous few days.

God seemed to be sympathetic to his self-knowledge. After working all day today, Chen Fang didn't encounter any troubles. Even the few guests he received were extremely worry-free, and the selection of styles and checkout were also very straightforward. Nothing sloppy at all.

Look, isn't that a big deal too?No matter how difficult it is, doesn't life just go on like this?Just stop thinking about those messy things.Chen Fang cheered himself up in his heart, trying to make himself look more open.

But life will always hit you hard when you think you are fully prepared, and you will be caught off guard.

When Chen Fang received a call in the lounge saying that the second landlord ran away with the money and that the landlord was going to take the house back, he stood there, completely dumbfounded.

"I'm also just a real estate agent, and I was also deceived by that person. Now the real landlord wants you to move out immediately. I can only inform you like this first. I hope you will be more considerate." The agent's voice on the phone was irritated, obviously It also looks like it's a mess.

Chen Fang opened his mouth, and when he spoke, he found that his voice was trembling slightly: "Then the money I paid before..."

"I can't help it! Now we can't find anyone else, and we can't advance money to pay you back, right? You have a wronged person and a debtor, so go find that person?"

"How can I find it?!" The other party's response was so absurd that Chen Fang couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Our place is at most, and if you get to the top, you can pay back 80% of your initial agency fee. The rest can only be solved by yourself. It depends on whether you want to call the police or what. There is no way for us here." That person Fearing that Chen Fang would be entangled, he hastily cleared the responsibility, "Also, move your things out quickly. The landlord didn't receive the money and said that the door lock will be changed today. You'd better act quickly."

After being hung up on the phone, Chen Fang's mind went blank, and he pledged one to three rents, which added up to more than 1. He couldn't afford the money at the beginning, so he had to pay with two bank credit cards. In vain, he will soon be homeless.

In a panic, he ran to Luo Yan to ask for leave, but he learned that she was not in the store for a meeting at the headquarters this afternoon.

The female senior in the store saw that he seemed very anxious, and said, "Why don't you ask other colleagues who are on vacation if they can help you for a day first, so that they won't be counted as miners and affect the end-of-month assessment."

Chen Fang nodded gratefully, opened the WeChat list and checked the colleagues who were not at work today, and sent messages one by one to explain the reason, but no one responded.He hugged his phone and waited for a reply, but no message came.Anxiety made him almost unable to maintain a smile on his face when he greeted the customers who entered the store.

When Tanya finally replied "Yes", almost an hour had passed.

He changed his clothes in a hurry and ran to the station, but happened to bump into the rush hour when the car drove two meters away and would be blocked for five minutes.It took only 5 minutes to drive, but it took an hour to arrive.

When he finally arrived at the place where he was renting, he climbed up the stairs in one breath, and what he saw was all kinds of supplies piled up in a disorderly manner at the door, occupying most of the public space in the narrow stairwell - Chen Fang's first experience I realize how ruthless this society is when it treats adults.

After the real estate agent arrived, he saw such a situation, and comforted him with a guilty conscience: "First, let's see if there is anything missing, and then I will help you communicate with the big landlord. It's too much, just change the lock if you say it." Lock!" While muttering, he took out his mobile phone and went downstairs to make a call, leaving Chen Fang alone.

At that moment, under the dim lights in the corridor, Chen Fang suddenly realized that he was completely homeless in this world.

He suddenly broke down.

He doesn't know why his life has become like this.

He thought that as long as he didn't run away from difficulties and solved them properly, he would be able to face all challenges.

But at the end of the day, he realized that it wasn't because he had the courage to stand alone, but because in this world, there was no other way but to face him—he no longer had a harbor to hide from.

The high-spirited appearance when I first entered university four years ago seemed to be a memory from my previous life. At this moment, Chen Fang was in a trance, and suddenly had great doubts about the fact that "the future will always get better slowly".

Seeing his distraught appearance, the real estate agent felt a little apprehensive, and asked cautiously, "Young man, the landlord said that you sent several large parcels from the same city here before, but he refused to sign them. Send the return address. Other things, can you see if there are any missing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the silent man suddenly raised his head to look at him. Under the orange street lamp, there was a little light in his eyes, and a red mark at the end of his brow was faintly visible in the dim light.Perhaps it was because of his frail and battered appearance that the real estate agent rarely found some conscience, or it might be because he was worried that this young man who could not accept the beatings of the society would do something bad if he left his sight, so he could only be gentle. Discuss with him in a low tone: "Do you have a place to go now? Let me help you pack your things together?"

Chen Fang closed his eyes, wiped his face vigorously, and spoke in a hoarse and exhausted voice: "Let me ask."

When he called the grandfather of the previous landlord, he was still a little uncertain. Fortunately, God's mercy on him had not yet run out, and the grandfather agreed without the slightest hesitation when he knew his situation at this time. It also allowed Chen Fang to continue to live for a while.

"The people who inspected the house before also said that the old house has one bedroom and one living room, so I'm afraid it's not so easy to sell. If you can't find a place, come back and live first, and it doesn't matter if you pay the rent slowly." The old man always Nostalgic and soft-hearted, when I looked at Chen Fang, I could always think of my son when he was young, so he was naturally reluctant to let him live on the street, "Hurry up, I didn't change the door lock. It's cold today, go back to my room to warm up." Warm up."

Chen Fang's tears almost flowed out. He sniffled his nose and thanked him again and again. When he raised his head and spoke to the real estate agent, he finally gained some strength.

Returning the things back to the original place, Chen Fang really thanked this talkative old man from the bottom of his heart, and silently made a wish in his heart: I, Chen Fang, are willing to spend three years of my good luck in exchange for this kind-hearted old man’s future life. Ann.

The intermediary called a car and dragged the messy and scattered things to the original place. Chen Fang didn't care about being tired, so he unpacked the package and started to pack it. It wasn't until four o'clock in the morning that he put on his clothes and lay down on the bed where he hadn't had time to change the quilt cover. Close your eyes and fall asleep.

In the dream, he saw his father and mother for a long time, buried in their arms, crying desperately in embarrassment, until the alarm clock rang early in the morning and he opened his eyes, only to find that his face was full of tears.

Going to the store in a daze, Chen Fang's complexion was even worse than yesterday.Embarrassment flashed across Tan Ya's face, and she only asked with concern if yesterday's matter had been dealt with.

The corner of Chen Fang's mouth pulled up the same arc as usual: "It's almost there, thank you Sister Tan."

Brother Wang, who was very kind in the past, passed by, but rolled his eyes several times in response to Chen Fang's greeting.

Chen Fang was puzzled—he didn't remember how he offended him at all, so Tan Ya said awkwardly, "Brother Wang said...you stole his order."

"Get the order?" Chen Fang frowned, suddenly remembered the girl who took the order yesterday, and understood: "I said that the girl I saw yesterday looked familiar..."

He was silent for a while, and then said, "How about I talk to the finance minister and exchange it for him?"

"Heh, do I need a handout like yours?" Brother Wang's voice sounded behind him, "It was just a vase that came in through the back door, and I dared to grab the order without knowing anything, cut it, and said that I graduated from a prestigious university , no professionalism at all."

Tanya felt that Brother Wang's words were a little too much, but because it was none of her business, she only frowned slightly and didn't speak out to help.

"I'm sorry, Brother Wang, I didn't notice yesterday and stole your order. Me, or I'll make the next order for you." Since he didn't want to exchange money, this was the only solution Chen Fang could think of.

Brother Wang was still angry, and he spoke sarcastically, "You're the only newcomer? There are only two days left in this month, so it's not certain if you'll be lucky enough to make an order!"

"What are you doing?" Luo Yan arrived at her post, and asked sharply when she saw the two people whose atmosphere was obviously not right.

"Hmph, it's just because of the good-looking little boy..." Brother Wang still muttered with dissatisfaction, but he didn't dare to make a scene in front of Luo Yan, rolled his eyes, turned around and left .
