one to two

Zhao Yemei, the personnel manager of Xincheng Company, went directly to the door of Qi Xin's office after reading the application materials handed in by the recruiter. The door was closed, and she knocked on it lightly. After waiting for a while, no one responded.Zhao Yemei turned her head to look at the aisle leading to the tea room, and Qi Xin just came out of it. Seeing Zhao Yemei waiting for her at the door of the office, she secretly cleared her throat without showing any special expression, just said to herself in her heart : I may be busier in the future, what can I do with my flowers and plants.

It’s just mid-September, General Manager Liu Xincheng clarified the content and direction of the company’s next goal to expand at this quarterly meeting. Considering that Qi Xin has not had a suitable assistant for a long time, at the end of the meeting, he specifically proposed to ask the HR department Find someone to come.

"Manager Qi, there will be a final re-examination for the marketing manager assistant in meeting room 02 at 30:[-] tomorrow afternoon. Can you please come over and check it out?" Among the people who stayed on one side and the other side of the HR department, she chose the one she felt comfortable with. The professional abilities of these three people were evenly matched, and the next thing was to see who was most in line with Qi Xin's wishes.

Zhao Yemei stepped aside while talking, Qi Xin walked over to open the office door, turned to Zhao Yemei and said, "02:30, right? Okay."

"Do you need me to show you the resumes of the re-examination personnel first?" Qi Xin had several potted plants on her desk, besides the rich tree, prickly pear and green radish that Zhao Yemei knew, there were also some plants she didn't know.I really didn't expect that people who are usually strict would support so many little lives.

Qi Xin put the water glass on the desk, looked up at Zhao Yemei, his eyes changed from serious to gentle, and said softly: "No, I will go directly tomorrow. Thank you, Manager Zhao, for coming to let me know."

"Qi Xin, we've been working together for so long, can you stop being so polite?" Zhao Yemei gave her an affectionate look, with a smile on her face, and then said that I had something to do and left. He helped Qi Xin close the door and left.

Qi Xin raised her eyebrows, are you polite?It seems that the way I communicate has always been like this.

My parents have been very strict with me since I was a child, even if my grades are not the best, but the etiquette must be in place, there should be no less thank you, and no more hilarious things that shouldn't be.Qi Xin's mother, Yan Zhiying, has been the head of the tax bureau for many years, and she has seen some small and big issues between people and people from a very early age.In the beginning, she would still listen to Yan Zhiying's words, even if she faced someone she didn't like very much, she still behaved like a girlfriend and confidant.Over time, I only feel one word, tired.However, his performance was a little lacking, and his family found out that a dinner meeting was inevitable.So she began to slowly reduce some unnecessary communication, and often used the excuse of working overtime to shirk some entertainment that she didn't want to face, such as blind dates.

Fortunately, the blind dates that Yan Zhiying has set up for Qi Xin so far are not scary looking, and each man has a little bit of background behind him, but even so, he still hasn't found a man who can make Qi Xin interested In her own words, she would rather serve wild flowers and weeds than be a decoration for these seemingly tall men.The blind date that impressed Qi Xin the most was the one half a month ago. Yan Zhiying made an appointment to meet at an afternoon coffee shop not far from Qi Xin's company. It is said that the signboard of this coffee shop starts at [-] p.m. It is sold for three hours, and the rest of the time can only choose other flavors of coffee.Or skip coffee and just read a book.

When Qi Xin arrived, the blind date man had already arrived. There was half a cup of coffee and the latest financial magazine in front of him, but he didn't read the magazine, but stared narrowly at the latest iPhone in his hand. Swipe gently.

Qi Xin walked over to say hello to the blind date man. The blind date man's eyes lit up when he saw Qi Xin, and then he locked the phone screen and put it on the table, adjusted his sitting posture, and then called the waiter to come and order.It was at this moment that when Qi Xin turned his head to look out the French windows, he happened to see a girl with long straight hair and a light blue plaid shirt walking over on the sidewalk outside holding a pot of purple nobles.Since the distance was not too close, Qi Xin couldn't see it very clearly, but when the girl turned the corner, he saw that the purple nobleman turned out to be a double flower, and the two pink and purple flowers were shining brightly under the sunlight.

Qi Xin withdrew her gaze, and suddenly lost interest in the next exchange. She drank coffee slowly, thinking about the charm of the purple nobleman just now in her mind.So this blind date is gone.When leaving, Qi Xin solemnly explained what he meant to the blind date man, and the blind date man's expression became embarrassing in the end, and he returned disappointed.Qi Xin continued to sit in the same place for a while, facing the traffic flow outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, his eyes were empty, and he began to think about how to stop these deliberate, boring and meaningless meetings.

It was [-]:[-] in the afternoon when Ai You was led to meeting room No. [-] by her sister at the front desk.She took the water glass brought by the sister at the front desk with both hands, and thanked her politely.The weather in September was still hot. After sitting down, Ai You took out a wet tissue from her bag to wipe off the fine sweat from her temples, exhaled slowly, and then wiped each finger one by one.After doing this, she felt that the heat in her whole body was reduced by half, and she felt much better inside and outside her body.

Ai You looked around the meeting room where she was, and the most conspicuous thing was the round glass table slightly near the window. On the table was a pot of green radishes raised in clear water, and four chairs with simple lines. , the overall space is not big, there is a colorful abstract art painting hanging on the wall on the left side of the door, Ai You opened her eyes wide to carefully identify the real thing in this painting, and pursed her lips lightly; then she turned her head to look Looking at the wall on the right, a glance at the past is an interesting black and white sketch portrait.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.

Qi Xin gently knocked on the door three times, paused for two seconds, turned the door and walked in. The examinee sitting on the chair stood up and looked at her with a smile on his face.

Qi Xin smiled lightly, her eyes fell from the girl to the chair behind her, "Please sit down." She walked to the girl and sat down next to her, took the resume that Ai You presented with both hands, and quickly read it .

Taking advantage of this gap, Ai You gently buttoned the blue file bag in her hand, raised her head and looked at Qi Xin.This woman, like many people in the company, is wearing a business suit, her hair is tied back, and she looks neat and tidy.When she approached her, a faint fragrance came towards her, almost subconsciously, Ai You unconsciously took two deep breaths.

While looking at the resume, Qi Xin looked at the girl beside him out of the corner of her eye.The light blue chiffon shirt made her face even fairer, her straight long hair was tied into a ponytail and tied behind her head, except for those two thin eyebrows that were carefully groomed, there was no other makeup on the girl's face She clasped the file bag with both hands, and there was a stack of materials in the file bag, which should be resumes or photocopies.

"I'm Qi Xin, let's have a brief chat first." Ai You's nervousness at the beginning was relieved by most of it with a voice as clear as a spring in a valley.

"Hello! My name is Ai You. I worked for two years before, and the headquarters of the last company moved to Shanghai. I didn't want to go there so I stayed." Ai You stopped talking after finishing these few sentences. In fact, She wasn't very clear about what Qi Xin meant by simply chatting, so she looked at Qi Xin quietly and waited for her to answer.

Qi Xin saw that Ai You no longer wanted to add anything, so her gaze fell on the resume she had just read. There were two common hobbies in the hobbies column—reading, painting, and a relatively rare one—planting.What kind of plants did this man grow?Qi Xin thought to herself, but instead of asking these questions, she brought the topic to the black and white sketch on the wall.

"What do you think of this painting?" Qi Xin's expression seemed casual, but if you paid a little attention, you could find that her eyes were full of seriousness.

When Ai You heard this, she was stunned for a moment, thinking that the interview questions of this beauty were not so rigid.She turned her head and looked at the painting again. After confirming it again and again, she looked into Qi Xin's eyes and said, "If I remember correctly, this painting was used in a book teaching painting. Let beginners copy it." This painting, and then turning the drawing paper upside down, is a portrait of a character sitting in a chair. This paragraph says that painting is actually not as complicated as imagined, it is just painting the objects that one’s own eyes actually see.”

Qi Xin looked at the memory flashing in Ai You's eyes, looked serious and confident, and nodded slightly.Ask again: "How many centimeters of high heels do you usually wear?"

Hearing this, Ai You subconsciously lifted her heel, and replied, "Normally no more than five centimeters."

The following questions were more routine, and Ai You answered them one by one.

After the interview, Qi Xin walked back to her office with Ai You's resume.The potted plants on the desk were growing quietly. She looked again at the interests and hobbies on Ai You's resume, and the girl's face suddenly appeared clearly in her mind, with a touch of rosiness on her clean and fair face.Remembering how seriously she was talking about the painting, Qi Xin picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.

After Qi Xin and Zhao Yemei confirmed that Ai You would be her new assistant, they plunged into the files on the desktop again.By the time she finished dealing with the things she had listed earlier on the work schedule, it was already past the time to get off work.The office building was quiet, only the slight sound of some computers that were not turned off could be heard.Qi Xin raised his right hand and pressed the sides of the back of his neck, trying to relieve the pain in that part like a needle prick.

It was already dark at night, but Qi Xin didn't want to go back at this time. She didn't know when she started, and she felt a sense of alienation when going home, whether it was her parents' place or her own bachelor apartment.Maybe it's because she has been in a state of concentration during the day's work. At this time, she relaxes and feels exhausted from her whole body. She makes herself a cup of chrysanthemum tea again, and comes to the window, watching the busy traffic outside the window, and it is rare to let go of her mind.The night covers everything, the glass is bright, the neon is shining, only a little light is adorning the dream of the city.

After the interview in the afternoon, Ai You went home directly.

Ai You has long been deeply attached to the place where she lives now. This small house was rented by her in the "Green Forest" near the company after she officially started work. It was only two streets away from the company at that time. She commuted to and from get off work every day. It's all on foot, very convenient.I lived quietly for a year, and the landlord who only showed up when I first rented the house came to visit me specially.It turns out that the landlord's family has moved overseas, and now they want to sell the house. This time, they want to ask Ai You to find another house, and they are willing to refund Ai You's two months' rent as compensation for breach of contract.Ai You looked at this set of one bedroom and one living room decorated by herself, and felt very reluctant. She looked back and forth at the scene in the room, and then called her parents to send her I talked about my thoughts.With the help of her parents, Ai You officially became the owner of the house, and later, according to her own ideas, the house was substantially redecorated, and it became what it is now.

Xincheng's company is not too far from where she lives, just like the previous company, it's also two streets away.It's just that the previous company had to go left when leaving the gate of the community, while Xincheng had to go right.Ai You's home is located on the left side of Luyi Forest. To go to Xincheng, she has to pass through the entire community, which allows her to take a good look at the community she lives in. The greening of the "Green Forest" is very good. It is summer, and there are still gusts of hot wind churning in the air at three or four o'clock in the afternoon.After returning home, Ai You went to the bathroom to wash off the heat, blow-dried her hair to half-dry, put on a small vest, and sat on the sofa in the living room with a cookbook to study.
