"Sister Xiaoqiu, the information you want." The colleague put a report in front of Liu Qiu and said to her, "Today, the leaders above came to inspect, it's almost eleven o'clock, is it not coming?"
"You'd better go back to your post, I'm afraid you'll come after chatting." Liu Qiu opened the local area network and entered the data in the data into the system, "I won't chat with you, this pile of work can't be finished. , I have to work overtime again at night.”
"It's boring." The colleague muttered softly and turned back to his place. Among the young staff in the office, Liu Qiu has the highest degree of education and the strongest ability to handle affairs. I heard that the director plans to train her as a successor, but another leader thinks that Liu Qiu is a woman and cannot hold back, and wants to train another male. Colleagues, plus the male colleague's family relationship, everyone felt sorry for Liu Qiu.
The male colleague raised his head and jokingly said, "Why are you provoking her, who doesn't know that she is a well-known motivated person in our department."
The others stared at the male colleague and said nothing. There were more women than men in the department, and they felt a little bit of an injustice for Liu Qiu. It was just that everyone didn't want to offend anyone, so they managed to maintain the harmony in the office.
The male colleague didn't care about other people's attitudes either. He picked up the cup and took a glass of water from the water dispenser: "I tell you, this time, it's not the leaders above who came to inspect, but a big investor. It is said that this The big investor is a well-known benevolent businessman. In the past two years, he has invested in a lot of projects in Xugou City, and he has relatives living in our anonymous county, so he came to see it specially. The leaders of the county attach great importance to this matter, so they specially Arrange reception work. The leader brought him to our department because he wanted us to introduce the scientific development plan of agricultural products."
"The investor who can be personally received by the leader must be very powerful." Other colleagues were a little surprised when they heard this kind of gossip, "If we can really let him invest in more projects in our Anonymous County and help ordinary people generate more income, That's really good."
"How can it be so easy." The male colleague sneered, "I heard that several neighboring counties have been secretly contacting this investor, trying to lead people to their counties."
"Didn't it mean that this investor has relatives in our county?" the colleague whispered, "Compared with other counties, we still have an advantage."
"How big a role can a relative of three thousand miles play?" The male colleague saw that his colleagues were listening carefully to his analysis, and couldn't help but feel a little proud, "Let's watch first, and don't make any mistakes later. The leaders value this cooperation very much, and whether it can be done or not, at least it can't be broken in our hands."
Liu Qiu listened to the conversation of her colleagues, secretly took out her mobile phone and glanced at it, Hua Jin sent a message this morning, saying that she was already in Anonymous County, and came to look for her in the morning. No figure in sight
"Come on." The male colleague answered a call, hung up and said to everyone, "Everyone, pay attention to your image, and remember not to talk nonsense."
Liu Qiu was a little worried about Hua Jin. She hadn't returned to the county for so many years. Could she be lost? She thought about it, sent a message to the other party, and asked her to call herself if she had something to pay attention to safety.
Fanhua: Don't worry, I'm almost there.
Liu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, it's fine.
"Liu Qiu, put away your cell phone." The male colleague saw that Liu Qiu was still playing with his cell phone, "Don't affect the image of our department."
"Everyone is an equal colleague. When you speak, don't use a commanding tone." Liu Qiu put away his mobile phone and glanced at his male colleague, "I spend less than one tenth of the time on my phone looking at your phone every day, what are you anxious about? ?"
"You..." The male colleague was flushed by Liu Qiu's run, and was about to retaliate when he heard the director's voice and footsteps coming from outside.
"Mr. Pei, Miss Hua, this is the office of our department. In order to be close to the people's lives and serve younger people, we have recruited several young people with high education in the past two years. Now they are the mainstay of our department." Director of the department Seeing that Pei Yan and Hua Jin are both young, they specially praised several young people.
"Your department has always served the people with a serious and careful attitude, I know that." Hua Jin looked at the plaque hanging outside the department, "I have a friend who has been with me for many years, and it was two years ago who was assessed to work in this department. "
The accompanying staff were overjoyed when they heard the words. They were worried that they didn't know how to snatch people from the next counties. Now that Miss Hua has friends working here, that's a good thing.
Everyone praised that it was fate, and said how difficult it was to be admitted to this department. Miss Hua's friend is a young man with outstanding talents. Looking at the smiling faces of these staff members, Hua Jin thought that it was not easy for them to attract local investment and make life easier for the common people.
Listening to the footsteps and the conversation getting closer, everyone in the department was a little nervous. When the leaders showed up with the investors, they were all a little surprised. The two investors were handsome and beautiful, and they looked younger than them. What kind of winner in life
Liu Qiu looked at Hua Jin who was walking in front in surprise, thinking that he was confused, how could Hua Jin walk with the investor group.
Hua Jin met Liu Qiu's eyes and smiled at her.
I heard Hua Jin say that after her friend went to work in this department, the escorts were secretly observing her expression. Seeing her smiling at Liu Qiu who was sitting inside, no one in the room knew who her friend was.
The department director said to Liu Qiu, who had not recovered from the shock: "Liu, you are friends with Miss Hua. Come and introduce to Miss Hua, the agricultural work in our county for the past two years."
Liu Qiu blinked, got up and walked to Hua Jin's side, suppressing curiosity and shock, and took them to the exhibition hall upstairs.
The remaining colleagues looked at each other in dismay, and did not recover for a long time. In order to let the male colleague show his face in front of the leader, the leader has long arranged for him to be a lecturer, although everyone knows that the person who is most familiar with this work is Liu Qiu.
But no one expected Liu Qiu to be friends with investors. This is really surprising. With such powerful friends, why haven't they heard Liu Qiu mention it.
The exhibition halls in Anonymous County are not as prosperous as in big cities, and even the equipment lacks a sense of technology, but Liu Qiu made boring data to explain interestingly, and occasionally interspersed with some small anecdotes of Anonymous County, which caused the visitors to laugh from time to time.
At the end of the visit, the leaders of the city specially said to the department director: "This Comrade Liu has excellent work ability, and she must be trained well so that she can serve more people well."
"The leader is right." The director of the department turned to look at Liu Qiu. Seeing that she was talking to the investor, he didn't bother.
"Huahua, you scared me a lot today." Liu Qiu glanced at Pei Yan, who was a few steps away from the two of them, talking with the leaders, and whispered, "This is the man you mentioned in your circle of friends. friend?"
Hua Jin nodded and whispered in her ear: "I'm trying to fake tiger power today. The real investor is him. I'm here to save face for you."
"Sisters, you've really managed to keep the wealth and honor in mind." Liu Qiu would sometimes complain to her about the top male colleague in the department when chatting with Hua Jin on WeChat, "I thank you on behalf of the organization. "
"I really thank you." Hua Jin took Liu Qiu and took a few steps to the side, "You were so handsome when you explained your work to us just now, good sister."
"Then what can I do? I haven't met the perfect love, so I can only indulge in my career." Speaking of which, Liu Qiu couldn't help but look at Pei Yan a few more times, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "He... how is he treating you? ?"
She still remembers how embarrassed Hua Jin looked when she met Hua Jin on the train. She was seventeen years old, but she was as thin as a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child. Seeing Huajin getting better and better over the years, but unwilling to step into Anonymous County, Liu Qiu knew that she still hadn't gotten out of the way she was in the past.
But the flower brocade that appeared in front of her today seemed to have changed, she became more confident and more energetic, like a delicate fake flower, and finally became a blooming rose, charming and beautiful.
Hua Jin nodded heavily: "Xiaoqiu, he is the one who saved me back then."
"It turned out to be him?" Liu Qiu was surprised, and then smiled again, "No wonder you show your affection in the circle of friends with your personality." The Huajin in her impression was so rational to men that it was almost indifferent. The first time she saw Hua Jin's photos of unfamiliar handsome guys, she thought it was strange. It turned out to be like this.
"Did you stay with him out of gratitude?" Liu Qiu knew that Hua Jin was very friendly to those who had helped her, so she was afraid that Hua Jin couldn't tell the difference between gratitude and love.
"No, I love him." Hua Jin shook his head.
Love, the word doesn't seem to be so difficult to say, Hua Jin looked at Pei Yan not far away, and smiled warmly, "Xiaoqiu, I'm having a good time now, don't worry."
Perhaps it was because Liu Qiu had seen the most helpless side of her back then, so even though the age difference between the two was not big, Liu Qiu always treated her with a sister's mentality. Hua Jin knew that if she didn't make it clear, Liu Qiu would not be relieved.
"As long as you are alive, it's good to be happy." Liu Qiu is a somewhat idealistic person, so she supports Hua Jin who escaped from an arranged marriage. In order to build her hometown, she gave up the good opportunity to develop in a big city and returned to this small county town inside. She doesn't care what others think, as long as she is happy.
"Then, will you still insist on embroidery in the future?" Liu Qiu knew in his heart that the investor who could be accompanied by the leader must be a big family with a lot of money. In front of him, Hua Jin's current career is too inconspicuous.
"Of course I have to persevere. In the darkest time of my life, it was embroidery that brought me back my self-confidence little by little." Hua Jin's eyes were firm, "Every stitch and thread made into embroidery is the work of the embroiderer. As the heir of intangible cultural heritage, I will not give up easily."
"See you next time, do I want to call you Master Hua?" Liu Qiu laughed, "Successor of the Shu Embroidery School?"
"I don't mind if you call in advance." Hua Jin grinned at Liu Qiu.
"You're young, but you have thicker skin than anyone else." Liu Qiu squeezed her waist with a hand, and suddenly smiled, "Master Hua, I wish you an early day to develop Shu embroidery."
Hua Jin took Liu Qiu's hand, "I will only stay here for a few days, and I will be going back from next Monday. Take care of yourself here. Don't forget to take care of your body for work."
"I know." Liu Qiuyang smiled. Although this was Hua Jin's birthplace, she called leaving here as "going back". Perhaps for Hua Jin, this is just a memory, a past, but it is not her home.
Peace of mind is home.
Liu Qiu turned to look at Pei Yan. Is the place where this Mr. Pei is, Hua Jin's house? I hope that Mr. Pei can cherish this friendship, and don't let Hua Jin's heart flow, nowhere is his hometown.
In the end, Pei Yan signed some cooperation projects with the local Anonymous County. Hua Jin didn't know much about this, so he didn't ask more questions. On the fourth day in Anonymous County, she went to Anonymous County's Ancient Building Protection Street to find the weaver who had amazed countless people.
But when they came to the wooden building, Huajin found that the former Shujin shop had become a souvenir shop, and the shop was filled with inferior handicrafts that were sold in almost every scenic spot.
She bought two knots at random and began to inquire about the whereabouts of the weaver from the shopkeeper.
"Are you asking about Aunt Cao?" The middle-aged shop owner immediately understood when Hua Jin mentioned the word "knowing cloth", "In this era, there are still a few people who buy cloth to make clothes. She can't do any tailoring anymore, so can't do a cloth shop. Now this shop belongs to her, but I rented it out. If you want to find her, you can ask her daughter, who sells twists in the next street. ."
"Thank you." Hua Jin thanked the owner and put the purchased knot in Pei Yan's hand, "Come on, tie you up."
"Is it naive?" He said disgusting words, but he held Hua Jin back, and Pei Yan said, "The architectural style here is a bit like the street in Jiangjiu City we have been to."
"They are all local scenic protected streets. These wooden buildings have a history of many years." Hua Jin looked up at the red lanterns hanging under the eaves, "Let's go and find Aunt Cao's daughter."
When I found the twist shop mentioned by the owner of the souvenir shop, Hua Jin saw a few customers around the twist shop and asked, "Excuse me, is this the shop opened by Aunt Cao's daughter?"
"Who is looking for me?" A voice came from the inner room, and soon a girl came out in a wheelchair.
"Hello, I'm a Shu embroiderer. I heard that Aunt Cao is good at weaving Shu brocade, so I want to ask her to cooperate." Hua Jin didn't seem to notice the problem of the girl's legs, her expression was as usual, "I don't know if she is convenient or not. "
"Shu brocade?" The girl laughed mockingly, "In this day and age, hand weaving is slow and unprofitable, and it doesn't have as many patterns as machine weaving. Who else does this?"
Noticing the other party's acerbic attitude, Hua Jin said: "Machine can indeed do many things that we humans can't do, but what we humans can do, machines can't do, I hope you can let me and Aunt Cao do it. See you."
The sarcasm on the girl's face lessened a little, she turned her head away from Hua Jin: "My mother hasn't touched the loom much in the past few years, so let's go."
"Half a year later, there will be a fashion conference that attracts the attention of the world. I want more people to know about Shu brocade and Shu embroidery, and see the beauty that belongs to our traditional culture." Hua Jin said to the girl in her twenties, "When I was a child, I have seen Aunt Cao weave cloth, and the Shu brocade she weaves is beautiful like a haze."
"But such a beautiful haze, but we can't even maintain our lives, what's the use?" The girl sneered, "You say, what's the use?"
Her mother could weave such beautiful Shu brocade, but she was disliked by her father and could not make money. As a woman, she was not at home to take care of her children and take care of the elderly, so what useless cloth was she knitting
Later, his father cheated. After the divorce, he advertised how useless her mother was, saying that her mother would not give birth to a son, would not take care of the family, and would only weave a bunch of unsellable things like a lady in Xiulou. cloth.
In those years, almost the whole street was laughing at her mother, who was obviously a servant girl, but had a young lady's heart.
Thinking of these pasts, she glared at Hua Jin: "You don't need to tell me this, I don't care about fashion conferences, traditional culture and art, all these have nothing to do with us."
