Finding Glowing Beauty in Books

Chapter 2

Views:

After returning to the room, Lanning put the book he just bought into the suitcase. Today is her last day in Japan, and she will fly back to City A tomorrow morning.

She went through the list again and counted the things her friend asked her to bring. After confirming that there was nothing missing, she picked up the hair tie on the table and went to the bathroom to wash up.

She was too tired today, so she decided to go to bed early to recharge her energy for tomorrow's return trip.

She slept soundly one night, and when she set off the next day, the entire hotel was still very quiet. She didn't have breakfast at the hotel, she just dragged her suitcase and went out after paying the room fee. The temperature outside was very low, so she put on the hat of the down jacket and tied the scarf tighter before continuing to walk out with the suitcase.

There is a person standing in the small Japanese-style courtyard, doing... radio gymnastics

Getting up after six o'clock to do radio gymnastics in the bitter cold wind

She worshiped the man's back for two seconds, then dragged the suitcase again. Unexpectedly, just after taking two steps, the man turned around and looked at her.

Lan Ning was embarrassed on the spot, because this person was the man he met on the mountain yesterday.

The other party only glanced at her, then turned around silently and continued to do exercises.

The corners of Lanning's eyes twitched, cut, what are you pulling? She snorted coldly, dragged her suitcase and left quickly.

After arriving at the airport, she bought something at the duty-free shop before boarding the plane in a hurry. At half past ten, the plane landed smoothly at City A International Airport.

The first thing you do when you get off the plane is to turn your watch forward an hour. This watch was just bought by Lanning in Japan. Although the price was twice the price of her previous watch, the large dial with its MAX appearance won her heart.

After adjusting the jet lag, she got on the airport bus with peace of mind.

Lan Ning is not a native of City A. She came here when she was in college, and stayed here to work after graduation. Although she has been working for three years, her salary is far from enough to buy a house in city A, so she is still renting a house in city A until now.

It was almost twelve o'clock when she returned to the rented house, and just as she took out the key, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

"Welcome back, master."

Lanning: "..."

She looked at the girl in pink maid outfit in front of her, was silent for two seconds, then raised the corners of her mouth and smiled twice: "Tong Tong, when did you come back?"

Qu Tong held a round dinner plate in both hands, and looked at her with a smile: "Two days ago."

"Oh." Lanning carried the suitcase into the house, and closed the door behind him, "Why don't you play with your parents for two more days?"

"I'm going to start school next week, and there's nothing interesting there." Qu Tong's tone was full of disgust.

Lanning felt that he had found a bad topic.

Qu Tong is her landlord. She is only a sophomore this year. This luxuriously decorated house is one of her homes. Lan Ning didn't know what kind of business Qu Tong's parents were in. She only knew that they were very busy and stayed abroad all year round. Qu Tong didn't want to go abroad to study, so she stayed in City A alone.

Probably because she was too lonely, she rented out the house at a super low price.

Lan Ning couldn't believe it when she first saw the rent, and she was even more careful when it was written in the rent conditions that only female tenants were required. After all, the society is too chaotic now, she still has to pay attention to safety when renting a house as a girl. But after finding a male colleague to accompany her to look at the house, she felt that the landlord should pay more attention to safety.

She could tell that Qu Tong just wanted to find someone to accompany her.

She smiled at Qu Tong, and changed the subject a bit abruptly: "I really envy those of you who still have winter and summer vacations."

Qu Tong played with a finger of hair on his chest, and winked at her: "Sister Ningning, didn't the company you work for just closed down? You can take winter and summer vacations for the rest of your life."

Lanning: "..."

Ha ha ha ha ha.

"I brought you special products back, and I'll bring them to you later." Lanning dragged the suitcase and walked to his room injured.

That's right, their magazine has closed down, and she is now unemployed.

Due to the popularity of the Internet in recent years, the traditional publishing industry has been greatly affected. She watched the magazines around her stop publishing one by one, and it was her turn after all.

After receiving this bad news before the Spring Festival, Lan Ning was in a bad mood. Thinking of the group of three aunts and six wives who used to say that she couldn't find a partner, it was enough for her to suffer, and this year they will add an unemployment... Lan Ning was so scared that she quickly refunded the train ticket.

When she told her mother on the phone that she would not go back for the Spring Festival, she could hear that she was a little disappointed. She had no choice but to say hello, saying that she would go back on May 1st.

Fortunately, although the magazine was disbanded, the editor-in-chief gave them a considerable disbandment fee plus New Year's money. Lanning remitted some money to her family, and used the rest to travel.

Now that I am back from traveling and the Spring Festival is over, it seems that it is time to start looking for a job.

She simply packed her luggage, grabbed a handful of cereal and fed it to her mouth, sat in front of the computer and logged on to QQ.

Probably because it has not been online for a long time, the little penguin kept beeping as soon as it logged in.

Lan Ning scanned the list and clicked on the profile picture of his friend Dai Qing.

Dai Qing: Lan Ningning, are you back yet? The bracelet I told you about last time, I want a silver one! Is it still too late!

Lan Ning twitched the corner of his mouth and replied: "It's too late, I'm already home. :)"

Dai Qing: ... Well, then gold ones.

[Dai Qing retracted a message]

Dai Qing: Oh my dear, you are back, why don’t you ask someone to pick you up at the airport

Lanning: So fake, disgusting. :)

Dai Qing: Oh well, when will you give me the things

Lanning: Take it yourself if you have time. I'm looking for a job recently and I don't have time.

Dai Qing: Don't be in such a hurry, isn't there a big job fair in March? You just came back from a trip, how hard it is, why don't you rest for a few days and go out with your sister~

Lanning: [bye]

Dai Qing: Don't be so indifferent, by the way, is your little landlord back yet? Call her up too.

Lanning: I'm back. I heard that school will start next week.

Dai Qing: Oh, then when you came back today, what gesture did she use to welcome you

Lan Ning's eyelids twitched unconsciously, Dai Qing's name clearly has the word Qing in it, but how can someone be so filthy? The name is really unbelievable.

Lanning: Today is relatively normal, just an ordinary maid outfit.

Dai Qing: Oh, maid outfit! [color] What color is it

Lanning: Pink.

Dai Qing: It sounds delicious~[色]

Lan Ning didn't want to talk to her, and replied to a few other people, she forked out the dialog box, and clicked on the recruitment website.

Glancing at the homepage, she found that the most skilled workers were recruited. She sighed, and after thinking about it, she entered edit in the search bar.

Although she has just stumbled in this career, she doesn't want to change careers yet.

After the search results came out, most of them recruited online editors. She finished browsing the first page, thinking that she should go get the resume first.

"Sister Lanning, have you had lunch yet?" Qu Tong was still wearing the pink maid outfit, poked his head out from the door, and looked at Lanning inside.

Lan Ning turned to her and said, "Not yet, have you eaten yet?"

"I do not have either."

"Oh, I brought back a lot of ramen, let's cook ramen later."

"Okay, okay!"

Lan Ning pointed to the things piled on the floor, and said to Qu Tong, "The ones over there are for Dai Qing, see if there is anything else you want."

"Sister Lanning, you are so kind to me, huh!" Qu Tong happily squatted on the ground and began to pick out gifts.

Lanning bought some ordinary things, such as snacks or some daily necessities. She felt that Qu Tong was not lacking in these things, but she was still very happy to receive the presents.

"I'm taking this chocolate biscuit!" Qu Tong picked up a box of chocolate biscuits and shook Lan Ning, "By the way, I bought you a bottle of perfume, and I'll bring it to you later."

"Ah, no need..." Qu Tong made a move, it must be very expensive things, and Lan Ning was really embarrassed to accept them.

"It's okay, it's okay, I can't use it at school, and it's my mother's money anyway."

Lan Ning was silent. The only way Qu Tong's parents cared about her was to keep giving her a lot of pocket money.

After Qu Tong took the biscuits away, Lan Ning didn't continue to edit the resume, but took out a pack of ramen and went to the kitchen to cook the noodles. Because Qu Tong's rent is very low, and she is still a student, Lanning takes care of her more in life, basically she is responsible for cooking.

Although the instant ramen is simple to make, Lanning specially added eggs, luncheon meat and some vegetables, and it still looks very rich after being served in a large bowl.

"Wow, it smells so good!" Qu Tong put his own bowl on the table, and handed the bottle of perfume to Lan Ning, "This is for you, you can smell it."

This perfume is very high-end just by looking at the bottle, Lanning didn't reach out to pick it up: "Keep it for yourself, you can use it when you go out to play."

Qu Tong still insisted on giving it to her: "What kind of perfume do I wear when I'm so young!"

Lanning: "..."

Oh, this girl is really natural black.

"This perfume is very fresh and fruity, you can also use it in the office, I wish you a new job as soon as possible!"

"...Thank you." Lanning had no choice but to put the perfume away.

After eating, she cleaned up the dishes and went back to her room to continue editing her resume. Dai Qing has been calling her on the little penguin for a long time.

Lan Ning: I went to dinner just now, I looked at the recruitment website, it’s so hard to find a job_(:з」∠)_

Dai Qing: So I want you to go directly to the job fair in March.

Lanning: How about I write novels on the Internet with you.

Dai Qing: ... Do you think that Internet authors are easy to mess with, not to mention the super high personal tax, stealing, rewriting, plagiarizing, adapting games and audiobooks without authorization, and even scolding the author after reading pirated copies? Pirate readers [smile] You are being infringed and hurt in different ways every day. If you don’t really want to, don’t come to create original works.

Lanning: ...I feel sorry for you.

Dai Qing: So can you give me a discount for the bracelet I want? [Poor]

Lanning: [bye]

After she forked out the dialog box and edited her resume, a new recruitment message popped up.

Lan Ning's eyes lit up, "Mistry" magazine is recruiting a copy editor? !
