Chi Nuan has not seen this kind of candy for more than five years. She searched on the Internet, and asked someone to ask, and found that the truth is not as Gu Ningzi said, it is easy to buy in the north. Over the years, she has never found out where to buy this candy.
I regret that I didn't find out earlier, otherwise you can ask the person where the sugar was bought.
Chi Nuan didn't want to eat it, so she put the candy in the drawer.
She received a call from Xu Dan during lunch time, and she invited Chi Nuan for afternoon tea: "Isn't Xiao Wutong going to the chess house in the afternoon? You are free anyway, come out and sit down, I have something to tell you."
The place for afternoon tea was booked not far from where Chi Nuan lived, and Chi Nuan agreed.
After sending Xiao Wutong, Chi Nuan hurried to the tea restaurant and looked around and didn't see Xu Dan, she contacted her: "I'm here, where are you?"
Xu Dan laughed out loud: "Zhong Min has arrived, wearing a khaki trench coat, did you see that?"
"..." Chi Nuan never expected that Xu Dan would trick herself into a blind date.
She saw a man wearing a khaki trench coat. His appearance was as Xu Dan said. He was really handsome.
Chi Nuan's eyes collided with Zhong Min's in mid-air, Zhong Min's eyes lit up, he stood up, and Chi Nuan had no choice but to walk towards him.
The two sat facing each other, Zhong Min ordered a hot drink for Chi Nuan, and when it was time for the drink to arrive, he cleared his throat and began to find a topic to chat: "Are you a teacher? Teaching elementary school math?"
Chi Nuan: "Yeah."
"The teacher is very good. I have a rest during the winter and summer vacations." Zhong Min smiled and let out a white tooth, "I heard Xu Dan say, are you raising your nephew alone now?"
Chi Nuan: "Yes."
Zhong Min: "A girl of your age still likes to play more. It's rare that you are so gentle and dedicated to your family."
Chi Nuan didn't know what to say.
Zhong Min stirred the lemon slices in the drink with a straw: "...Your brother had an accident, should he have received compensation?"
Chi Nuan looked up at him.
Zhong Min immediately said, "I don't mean anything else. Since it's a blind date, I think it's better for both parties to be more transparent. I'm the only child in the family, and I have a house and a car, so my parents don't have high financial requirements on the woman, as long as the burden is on. It doesn’t matter, it’s fine, you know what I mean?… Raising a child now costs a lot. According to Xu Dan, you were raised by your brother, and you will definitely not treat his child badly. I ask this , I think I have a bottom line in my heart."
His thoughts were human, Chi Nuan said "um" to express his understanding, but did not mean to answer. Just as the hot drink arrived, she grabbed the straw and started drinking.
Zhong Min could see her indifference, which hung on her calm and gentle appearance, and was unexpectedly attractive. Thinking about the family changes that the person in front of him experienced from childhood to adulthood, he suddenly developed an inexplicable desire to protect. This desire for protection prompted him to take the initiative to change the topic. He asked Chi Nuan what he did when he was resting, and did he like to read books when he was a teacher? Another waiter was invited and ordered a table of snacks.
After sitting for nearly half an hour, Chi Nuan got up: "I'm going to the bathroom."
After coming out of the bathroom, she settled the bill directly, returned to the dining table, and said to Zhong Min, "It's getting late, and I have to pick up the child from get out of class."
Jonghyun: "I'll take you off."
Chi Nuan: "No, it's very close."
Zhong Min was going to check out, but Chi Nuan didn't wait for him, pushed open the door of the tea restaurant, and left first.
In the evening, Xu Dan called Chi Nuan and laughed before speaking. Chi Nuan was inexplicably laughed at by her, and when she asked her what was going on, Xu Dan said, "You don't know, Zhong Min was completely stunned, only when he went to checkout did he find out that you had already paid, and when he looked back to find you, he found that you were gone, and even more so. What's bad is that after getting along for more than half an hour, he forgot to ask you for your number."
Xiao Wutong was setting the chessboard, Chi Nuan walked away to answer the phone.
"He's very fond of you, Nuan Nuan, how about you? Would you like to get in touch with him? I'll give him your number?"
"Don't give it." Chi Nuan said.
"Uh..." Xu Dan paused clearly, "Are you dissatisfied with Zhong Min?"
Chi Nuan: "Xu Dan, I know you are kind, but I don't really want to think about it now."
Xu Dan asked her, "Why? Zhong Min's condition is very good?..."
"Xu Dan," Chi Nuan said, "Let's not talk about this, okay?"
After hanging up the phone, I found out that there was a message from an unfamiliar number coming in during the call.
"Chi Nuan, I'm Zhong Min."
"Tomorrow Sunday, I want to invite you to a movie with your nephew, are you free?"
- Xu Dan had already given him her number.
The wind picked up outside, making the pages on the table rattle. Chi Nuan closed the window a little and turned on the phone again.
"I have someone I can't forget in my heart, sorry."
…
In the new week, Chi Nuan made steamed dumplings, grinded soy milk, and brought it to the office as breakfast for everyone.
"Will I admit my mistake? Isn't there only a few young talents who often show up in Yuncheng News? President Ji of 'Mu Shi', when he got married, because the wedding was too high-profile and luxurious, he sent Yuncheng to the hot search, okay? ?"
"I don't have a background, I'm still so young and beautiful, think about it, what is the reason for two people who are so irrelevant to have an intersection?"
Chi Nuan stood at the hidden back door of the office and involuntarily stopped pushing the door.
"You just want to say that Teacher Chi was taken care of by the president of 'Mu Shi'?"
"—I'm not just guessing! Do you know how many gifts Wu Zhe's mother in Class 6 gave her? That's the number! She paid it all back, and she didn't ask for a cent! What does that mean? She's not bad for money! If it's just a bitter office worker who has to pull a child, I don't believe she won't be moved."
"Okay, Mr. Wang, it's almost time for morning class—you guys have changed classes from this week?"
"I'm so angry when I talk about this! I haven't been able to sleep well in the past two days! Why does she want me to carry the blame? I've been working with the students in my class for a year, and I finally got used to it. All the hard work was in vain! What about the bonus linked to the student's evaluation? She doesn't care about money, I do!"
Everyone else is silent, everyone has a small abacus in their hearts, and the school will not dismiss Teacher Chi because of the breach of contract.
The office became extraordinarily quiet for a while, and the intern Pan said timidly, "That... Mr. Wang, how do you use this binding machine?"
No one paid any attention to her lack of wink at the moment, the surroundings were quiet, there was a sound on the door, everyone looked, Chi Nuan pushed the door and came in.
- I'm afraid you didn't hear it, did you? How much do you hear
"...Mr. Chi, you didn't have an early class today, come so early?" The teacher in Class 1 was a little embarrassed.
"I brought you breakfast." After passing Wang Lili's desk, Chi Nuan put the insulated lunch box on it.
Everyone looked at Wang Lili's reaction. Wang Lili stood with her arms crossed, her expression hard to describe.
"Mr. Chi is so sweet." In order to ease the embarrassing atmosphere, some teachers gathered around and opened the insulation box, "Hey, steamed dumplings, what is this? Soy milk? Do you want to go to the morning class with a warm mouth?"
Chi Nuan put down the bag, opened the lid of the teacup, and went to get himself hot water.
Seeing that Chi Nuan was so calm, Wang Lili looked like a clown jumping on the beam with too much force. She couldn't help throwing all her resentment on Xiao Pan's head. You know what you're thinking, even in a famous university, you won't even be able to use a binding machine!"
Xiao Pan blushed when she said that. After Chi Nuan took the water, he put the cup on the tea cabinet, walked behind Xiao Pan, patted her shoulder, and motioned her to move away.
She helped her to bind up a stack of sorted materials, turned her head and asked her, "Will you do it?"
Xiao Pan said softly, "Thank you, Sister Chi."
Chi Nuan: "You're welcome."
Wang Lili hummed, picked up the lesson plan and left the office.
…
During the routine dinner at Zhou Damao's place, Du Min saw that Chi Nuan was not in a good mood. After asking, everyone knew that she had encountered a series of bad things in school recently.
"What kind of rubbish school is this?" Xu Dan said indignantly: "The parents of the students are brain-damaged, and the colleagues are forced to do everything. In that kind of environment, if you want me, I will tear my face and tear up, and I will resign and leave immediately."
Chi Nuan said, "It's not easy to find a job. New school recruitment will have to start during the Chinese New Year at the earliest. ... Besides, I was recommended by Mr. He and Mr. Mo."
Du Min sighed: "You don't have to be a teacher. Even if you pass the exam, you'll get that little salary every year."
Chi Nuan: "Well, let's see."
"Huh?" Zhou Damao looked up from the game, "My dad has a client who said that he wants to hire a private assistant, and the salary must not be low. Is the squad leader interested? If you are interested, I will inquire with my dad again."
"..." Du Min looked at Zhou Damao speechlessly: "Your father's client? I think it's better not to..."
Chi Nuan pulled her lips and smiled, Xu Dan was even more exaggerated, laughing back and forth.
Zhou Damao: "No... What misunderstandings do you all have about my dad's work? There should not be too many social elites who go to his place to relieve work pressure! Not all women with mental illnesses and superficial women!"
"Yes, yes, how did I know you two are unreliable?" Du Min pointed to Zhou Damao, and then to Xu Dan.
Xu Dan raised his hand and surrendered: "I admit my mistake, I really shouldn't have tricked Nuan Nuan into a blind date. But Nuan Nuan, you are too cruel. Do you know how she rejected Zhong Min? I can't bear to say it."
Zhou Damao said happily: "Xu Dan, I agree that she is really unreliable, but I'm really not. I tell you Du Min, my dad has been talking about chicken blood at home for half a year, and the other party is not good, so he can do this. ? That client is doing private equity investment abroad. Now both domestic and foreign countries are running. What was there before - post-traumatic stress disorder? I don't understand a lot of technical terms. Relax and chat, after all, a project is worth tens of millions of dollars, and the pressure is high! I summed it up, and now it is a little indifferent when dealing with people. We are looking for a job and we don’t fall in love with people, we are indifferent, right? ?"
Du Min nodded: "Yes, everything you say is right."
Xu Dan laughed.
"..." Zhou Damao turned to Chi Nuan: "Squad leader, I'm serious, if you really have plans to change jobs, as soon as possible, I will go to my dad's place to walk around, he is in the psychologist in Yuncheng, is this, that Customers will sell some face to some extent."
Zhou Damao said and gave a thumbs up.
Chi Nuan always thought that Zhou Damao was joking, but in fact Du Min and Xu Dan didn't take it seriously. Who knew that after more than a week, Zhou Damao sent a photo to Chi Nuan.
In the photo is a business card. To the right of the two bold words "He Zhen" is a string of mobile phone numbers. There is no other information.
This style of business card reminded Chi Nuan of Secretary Su's one.
Zhou Damao: "This is Assistant He's phone number. You can contact this number and she will arrange an interview for you."
Chi Nuan smiled, put down the phone, and continued to prepare for the next day's class.
