"Shishan, what are you thinking?"

"Huh?" I turned around and saw Jiang Ning, and smiled, "I was thinking that when you married Gaby, the best man should be the man's man, and I can't be the bridesmaid, can you compete for the one who will hand you over to the groom? people."

If it was such a ridicule before, Jiang Ning would be so ashamed that her neck would turn red, but now she can refute me calmly: "What nonsense, I just scolded Gaby yesterday, why did the wind change today?"

"I don't agree, so you don't fall in love? You never know what it feels like to be a father. If you fall in love, you are afraid that you will meet someone who is not good. Don't talk about it, and you are afraid that you will not get married. It is no wonder that people with daughters have short lives on average. Ten years." Ever since Gaby found out about my sexual orientation, I was directly promoted by him to his natal family, and he really treated me like an uncle to please me. I have learned a lot of Chinese etiquette, and I am also appropriate. Playing the role of the patriarch who hinders them from falling in love, and occasionally creates some difficulties for the two of them.

Although Jiang Ning didn't say anything, but because of her many unusual behaviors, such as walking and jumping, smirking when she is fine, making up waste, deleting ugly photos... and many other signs, Comrade Jiang Xiao is tempted.

We are all people who accept death, it's rare that she likes it, so how can I not be happy for her.

Jiang Ning glared at me with a blushing face: "... You are my dad addicted. Gaby told me yesterday that gay marriage is fully legal in the United States. He knows many outstanding boys like you. Oriental boys are very popular, it's time for you to find me a stepmother."

... My face turned red and white for a while, and after holding back for a while, I said, "Girl, it's not easy for me to pull you up with your father. At the end of the day, you are going to get married. How can I marry you a stepmother to make you feel wronged."

Jiang Ning sighed, "You can just joke with me, ah..." Jiang Ning suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "I almost forgot, susan said to find us two for something, it seems to be about the annual issue, but I want to Go get the photos, you have to pass by her when you have time, just let me know if there is anything to do."

I nodded: "Go ahead, I'll call you later."

It’s not that I haven’t missed my country in the past two years. It’s not that my current life is not good. In fact, I prefer the free and inclusive way of life in the United States. Even so, cultural differences always It will make you miss your homeland. Simply put, it is not easy for you to eat hot pot. We have to drive through at least four or five blocks to find a hot pot restaurant opened by a Japanese. As for whether it is authentic or not After thinking about it, I have to do it myself if I want to eat it, but the taste is always wrong.

Thanks to my cleanliness, I didn't like hot pot, and I'm used to the bad smell of people. When I don't have it, I miss it.

But when I was really asked to go back to China, I didn’t have the courage. Not only did I not have the courage to start over in another place, but even if I didn’t get married, I would suffer from many strange eyes. We live in this society, no matter how strong our hearts are. , cannot exist as a separate individual. When the people around you do not agree with you, it will make you feel alone.

Of course, this is not the main reason, because the reason why I put all my eggs in one basket to let Lin Rui make the recording public before I came to the United States was that I had already reported that I would never go back.

The headquarters needs to send someone to work in the Chinese branch. Cherry and I are both good candidates, but the company prefers me. Jiang Ning has been preparing for the anniversary photo exhibition of the magazine. Susan asked me if I would like to return to China to expand my business. She said that this kind of scheduling can be regarded as a promotion in disguise, and it will be better for my future development. After the work in China is completed, I will choose whether to return to the headquarters according to my wishes.

If I could choose, I would not agree, but now I can't refuse.

I know how much effort Jiang Ning has put in for this photography exhibition. This is her first major project led by herself, and it has always been her dream. Interrupting her like this is undoubtedly a blow to her, at least until the exhibition is prepared Finish.

I used to think that Jiang Ning's personality was too shy. I thought her personality would encounter many obstacles in a country like the United States, which has an extroverted personality. However, she worked as a photography editor for a magazine. Now she is cheerful and generous, and she is in good spirits every day. The relationship with Gaby is also very stable, it's rare for her to be able to work here and earn a lot.

She has been helping me all the time, and I hope I can do something for her too, and it's only two or three months.

Before returning to China, I went to find Lance, but he was not in the nursing home, but had already returned to his research institute. Then I remembered that he said that his main focus was pharmacology, and he was an expert hired by the nursing home with a high salary.

When he heard that I was going back to China, he was somewhat worried. Obviously, the previous wrist-slitting incident scared him, but I wish no one would mention it again. How could that madman be compared with the good-natured young man I am now

"Good luck, dear Shi, no matter what you encounter, as long as you think about those who love you, the evil god will be locked up forever by you."

I looked at him, held back the original sarcasm, and then smiled slowly: "Thank you, Lance."

Lance let out a cry, clutching his chest exaggeratedly: "I finally saw that sunny boy."

...

Back in China, I copied the living habits in the United States. I live in a suburban area. I get up at six o’clock and run for half an hour. After breakfast, I drive forty minutes to the company. I will not be late even if I encounter traffic jams occasionally. I go to bed early and get up early, and my work and rest are very regular and healthy. I will keep a record of my daily affairs as before.

It's not that I cherish my life, but that I have been trying to get back to my previous figure. As a man, no one wants to be a weak chicken. My biggest worry is my small body and petite body. Being a leader has no deterrent power, so I have to be tough Add some majesty to your face.

"This is the first row of the April issue. It has been proofread. The editor-in-chief asked me to show it to you." The young assistant stood beside me, with a hint of trepidation in his words, just at the age of fear of making mistakes, I don't know if it is Afraid that I would be overwhelmed, the director was very "considerate" and assigned me a college student who had just graduated.

"Why is this only half-paged?" I suddenly stopped and pointed it out to her.

The assistant immediately said: "There is not enough material, this is an upstart in the IT industry, the editor-in-chief originally wanted to make a special feature, but it is said that the interviewee is not very cooperative, and he left before saying a few words, the editor-in-chief intends to cancel the edition, Contacting someone new."

This is good for newcomers, really!

High-end financial magazines are often the object of invitation, and they are an important means for the upstarts to improve their status. The bosses have to give a little face, but they are so neglected, and the editor-in-chief is probably very angry.

But on the other hand, it was also because the magazine itself was not operating properly, and the newcomers actually cut their face.

I put down the demo and said, "Okay, send me the electronic version of the manuscript later, and I'll take a look."

The assistant gave me a surprised look, as if he didn't understand what the problem was, but he didn't dare to say more.

I closed my eyes and slowly touched my chest. It seemed that I was not as restless as I imagined. I was relieved. This is good news.

I have never underestimated Wen Yang's ability, but I did not expect Wen Yang to grow so fast. In more than three years, he developed from a small unknown company to a rising upstart in the so-called IT industry. Taking over and reorganizing Wen's, this speed makes many people feel scared.

I picked up the magazine sample again and looked at the handsome man in a dark gray suit. This man is more mature and elegant than before, with deep contoured facial features, sharp and sharp eyebrows and eyes like a knife blade, and tightly pursed lips. The corners make the whole person's temperament more cool, without the harmlessness and youthfulness of just leaving school.

After a while, the director called and asked directly, "What are you doing?"

I looked at the document in front of me that hadn't written a few words, and said, "Write a manuscript."

Director:...

"What kind of manuscript are you writing? I'm so busy that I can't even drink my saliva. The headquarters didn't ask you to write the manuscript!"

"The headquarters mainly asked me to help convey the spirit, and the specific operation still needs the director's own initiative, boldness, and courage to move forward—"

"Stop talking nonsense, you and I will go to the banquet at night, if you have nothing to do, go back and prepare first."

"I have got… "

As a result, the other party directly hung up the phone before finishing speaking, what do you mean by going back first, and then got off work, and was arrested as a young man.

This ge magazine's centennial celebration, I mainly assist the China region to complete all the matters of the 20th anniversary celebration, including the special issue of the anniversary, the charity party for entrepreneurs, and the programs held with the official media. Until the publication in June, the entire magazine office Like a war.

After going to several rounds in a row, now when I hear it, I have a headache, a stomachache, and a pain all over my body. Naturally, a person like me who cherishes his life always tries to get away with it and avoid risks. As a result, our director is very straightforward and very Be courageous, don't listen to any excuses, just give orders.

Intentionally or not, I am an "imperial envoy" who is very depressed. I have a false job as an art consultant and a job in the public relations department. As for why it is a false job, because before I came, our magazine did not have this at all. Position.

If Jiang Ning came to practice like this, he would probably abscond and return to the United States directly, and his professional skills would not be linked.

In the evening, I changed into a fairly decent outfit, and I didn't have any female companions, so I attended the banquet with Director Ma who was a bit bald.

"This is Sam, the art consultant of our magazine. He has just returned from the United States. You all need to mention more in the future."

"Good luck!" I said with a smile. After returning to China, I planned to use my Chinese name back, but my colleagues said that the name Shishan (Thirteen) was a bit out of class, and it didn’t fit me as a returnee and our magazine’s high-level positioning. I think I couldn’t do it in the United States before. It is because the name is considered unlucky, and I never thought that I would not be able to restore my original name when I returned to my country, or that I had started another life since I was called sam in the United States.

Banquets are better than wine bureaus, there is no need for repeated greetings and toasts, but there is no place to sit. I found a clean place against the wall, pretending to hold a wine glass and look at the chattering people, just waiting for the manager to finish Good way home.

I was a little bored waiting, until a familiar figure appeared in sight, I subconsciously clenched the cup in my hand, and suddenly became a little nervous.

My eyes moved with the figure in water blue in the field. It was a very beautiful woman, with a tube top evening dress and long rolled up hair, which set off a slender and sexy figure, indescribably charming and charming.

Not seeing each other for three years, perhaps it was because of the nourishment of love that made Yang Xuan more beautiful and noble.
