Chapter 18: Big failure

Views:

After eating all the ice cream, Wang Jiexiang found a place to wash his hands.

There was no one around, and she remembered the phone card on the bottom of her feet.

There is a piece of grass next to the sink, bury the card here, as long as it is not seen, it will disappear without anyone noticing.

Wang Jiexiang quickly pulled out a few weeds, and began to dig the soil with his feet.

After digging for a while, she was interrupted by someone.

"What are you doing?" Yin Xian's voice came from behind.

"me."

With strenuous exercise and guilty conscience, Wang Jiexiang gasped for breath and made up: "I'm looking for treasure."

"..."

Yin Xian asked, "Are you still having lunch?"

"Eat." She hurriedly covered the soil and came out from the grass.

Wang Jiexiang returned the wallet to Yin Xian, but he put it in his pocket without even looking at it.

"You and He... Sister Xiaoshan, have you finished talking so quickly?"

Yin Xian said dryly, "Children don't care about adults."

"snort."

Wang Jiexiang didn't bother to chat with him, lest he choke her when he said "in the world, who is not a passerby" like last time.

The two were silent all the way to the cafeteria.

To be honest, Wang Jiexiang doesn't like to come to this place. Mainly, after she found out that many people in the background looked exactly the same, every time she came to see them, she felt terrified.

"I'm curious about one thing."

Standing in line, Wang Jiexiang had a whim: Can Yin Xian see the abnormalities around him

"Look..." she whispered to him: "The man diagonally behind us, and the third man from the table on your right. You compare them, do you think they look alike? "

Yin Xian shook his head: "Not like."

He can't see it!

Wang Jiexiang thought it was a pity: If he could see it, he would be shocked.

When they came to them in line, Yin Xian asked her which set meal to eat.

Wang Jiexiang ordered a new flavor: "Fish-flavored shredded pork rice."

With the meal in hand, they sat at the long table in the corner.

His overalls were dirty, so there was nothing to worry about for now.

Wang Jiexiang moved her chopsticks and ate happily.

"Engineer Yin."

The workers at the same table left the table and said to Yin Xian.

"Let's go to the factory first, and you can take a look at the newly delivered car later."

He should be fine.

Everything went smoothly, Wang Jiexiang moved her feet quietly.

The phone card was still lying on the sole of her shoe, hurting her.

"When the food is finished, you go to the factory, and I will follow you."

Yin Xian resolutely refused: "I have to work, you are playing with the ball in the open space."

"It's common sense not to exercise immediately after eating."

"Okay, then you just stay in my office."

Wang Jiexiang stopped talking.

He noticed her depression and said, "Be obedient, and I'll buy you ice cream again."

It's okay not to mention this, but when he mentions Wang Jiexiang, he doesn't get angry: At that time, she was locked up in the office by him for so long, and she didn't buy the ice cream he promised to buy, so she went to secretly make a phone call, and they all beat her up.

"How can an adult do this?"

The resentment accumulated in the past few weeks suddenly exploded.

"For an already well-behaved child, ask him to be more obedient and honest. To save trouble, let the child stay quietly, let him play by himself, and lock the door to shut him up. Tell the child not to mind the adult's business, to block the child's way Mouth. I will give him a reward for coaxing the child, and I promised to not buy it in the end. If you really know how to buy ice cream, you should ask me what flavor of ice cream I like!"

When he was a child, he obviously hated the adults who treated him like this, but when he grew up, he also became this kind of adults.

Yin Xian put down his chopsticks and stared at her.

"Your adults often lock you in the house? Tell you to ignore their affairs? Ask you to be obedient? Break your promise to you?"

She crossed her hips angrily and ignored him.

He smiled and let go.

"Got it, I'll take you with me."

Wang Jiexiang still ignored.

He asked, "What flavor of ice cream do you like?"

"Milk," she said.

Yin Xian let her stay in the office for a reason.

The place where he works has a strong smell of motor oil and people are mixed. All sorts of faulty cars were hoisted up by machines, awaiting inspection.

Wang Jiexiang sat on the old rattan chair that Yin Xian found for her, which was out of tune with the surrounding environment, and the passing workers cast strange glances at her.

Yin Xian was wearing the uniform dark blue work clothes of the whole factory.

There were so many people, it was very difficult for her to distinguish which was his back.

The big fan whistled, and the smell of engine oil made her dizzy. Wang Jiexiang yawned.

How long have you not slept

Although the world will be reset, her physical state has not been reset, and she will feel hungry and sleepy.

I kept my heart hanging in front of me, running around doing this and that, without even thinking about sleeping. At this moment, I suddenly had time to sit down, and the drowsiness gradually came to me.

"can not sleep!"

Wang Jiexiang punched herself in the stomach.

With her eyes wide open, she looked for Yin Xian's back in the crowd.

Looking for it, she held her chin, and her upper and lower eyelids began to fight.

"can not sleep… "

The dazed Wang Jiexiang had a dream.

She dreamed that she was waiting for Yin Xian to come home in their house.

He accompanied people to socialize very late, and when he came back, he had already fallen asleep leaning on the sofa. Yin Xian muttered, "Why are you sleeping here?", picked her up, and carried her back to the bedroom.

She wanted to question why he came home so late, but it was very comfortable to be held by him.

Therefore, she planned to scold him after waking up.

"Yin Xian..."

Talking in her sleep, she raised her heavy eyelids.

The slit through which the eyes were opened allowed Wang Jiexiang to see a ceiling with no lights on, and the bright moonlight came in through the window.

"Where is this?"

Shocked, she got up and looked for the light switch.

The light was on, it was a place where Wang Jiexiang had been... Yin Xian's office.

The door was opened from the outside, and she turned around in astonishment.

It's him.

Nothing happened! Not reset!

Wang Jiexiang rushed to Yin Xian's side and grabbed his sleeve: "Where have you been?"

Shaking the ice cream in his hand, he said, "The milk flavor you want."

Take away the ice cream and tear open the package. She pulled his sleeve with one hand and ate the ice cream with the other, still in shock.

"I fell asleep in the chair?"

"yes."

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

"You slept soundly. I don't know what you dreamed of. You are smiling."

He remembered something and asked her: "Did you see the phone card in my wallet?"

"Did you go to call?" Wang Jiexiang held his breath.

"Well, I wanted to call my dad, but the phone card in my wallet is gone."

She patted her chest: it's okay, it's okay.

"Are you going to talk to your father about resigning?"

He stared at her strangely: "how do you know?"

"Uh," Wang Jiexiang lied cheekily: "I heard what you told Sister Xiaoshan... You said that you would not be an engineer, but a salesperson, and you would resign."

Yin Xian raised his eyebrows: "Did you listen, or guess?"

"Didn't you tell her? I seem to have heard it."

Wang Jiexiang looked at him and spoke carefully.

"However, it will be very hard to do sales."

He was in sales when she met him.

"Even if you are not good at talking and dealing with people, but in order to make money, you have to bite the bullet and get close. Accompanying people to socialize, calling people brothers, giving gifts to people, business may still fail. There is no private time, and the phone is always on. At hand, I have to answer the phone immediately when I sleep until midnight. I am so busy at work that I don’t have time to eat, and getting off work is never off work.”

It seemed too specific to describe, she scratched her head.

"Of course, I heard this from others. I've never done sales, and I'm only twelve years old."

After a long silence, Yin Xian sneered.

"But I don't want to stay in my current job until I'm old."

"After playing cards with this person, I accompany another person to play mahjong. No one cares whether your work is done well. As long as you have a good relationship with the upper-level people, there is nothing to worry about. The work itself cannot bring me happiness. Come for satisfaction."

He paused, his eyes were dark and full of irritability.

"What's the point? I wake up and ask myself that every day."

"It's ridiculous, isn't it. I was set to take this path, and I put in all the effort on this path. This bowl of rice is enough to eat until I die of old age, and in the end, I find that I have no interest in this job at all."

Wang Jiexiang stared blankly at Yin Xian's side face.

He rubbed his sore brows.

"What's wrong with me? Talk to the kids."

"I agree with you." She said crisply.

"Agreed with what?"

"I think you're doing the right thing, you need to make this call to Dad! You don't want to do your current job, you want to do sales. It's what you think is right and you want to do it, so go for it. Life is alive, Finding something you want to do is invaluable."

It is difficult for Wang Jiexiang to speak such serious words. She thought as she spoke, wondering if she could fully express what she meant.

"If, I mean, if your father doesn't understand you and doesn't agree with you, then you can't avoid it, because you feel guilty for failing to live up to his expectations. But, life is your own. In order not to disobey someone, you force yourself If you live an unhappy life, you will always be unhappy. So, try to communicate with your father, even if the communication fails, you should firmly do what you want to do, your idea is right."

The child's tone was too serious, and his words were correct, as if he was writing a propositional composition.

He smiled self-deprecatingly.

"It's just like what you said. I don't know if it's right or what I want. I'm not sure what I want to do, and I don't know what I will face in the future. Sales, yes Superficial thoughts. Maybe, if I were very rich, I wouldn't have sleepless nights and feel empty all the time."

Superficial, that's how he described his decision.

The words were harsh, like the "short-sightedness" that Wang Jiexiang overheard his father say to him.

She knew now why she saw confusion in his eyes at that time.

Faced with an uncomfortable life and a sick working environment, he struggled, entangled, and instinctively wanted to break free.

When he paid the price of breaking up with his family and hung up on his father's phone; when he finally had the right to choose and face the future alone... Yin Xian found that he was not firm at all, and his heart was empty.

His father said that he was short-sighted, and in a sense he agreed, so he felt at a loss and lost.

"I took your calling card."

Wang Jiexiang took off her shoes and poured out a card.

Spreading his palm, she returned the calling card to his hand.

She thought: It's too difficult, Yin Xian. What traps you is not the phone call, those accusations from your father, what traps you is that you lose your direction in life. This undoubtedly requires you to figure it out yourself, and I can't do anything about it.

He didn't look very surprised, as if he knew he was stuck with her before.

"I gave you my wallet at that time, why didn't you run away?"

"Have you ever doubted me?" Wang Jiexiang understood that he regarded himself as a thief again.

Yin Xian nodded: "You have a strange reason for asking for a wallet, you act strange when you are asked which relative you are, and your behavior and speech throughout the day are also strange."

When her bad acting skills were exposed, she said angrily, "You suspect me to be a thief, and you gave me your wallet. You are even more strange."

"Probably because..." He scratched her nose: "Your expression is very embarrassed, and you are afraid of being questioned."

"Oh, okay, you don't have to worry about me." Wang Jiexiang's mind was in a mess, and she planned to get a good night's sleep before the next cycle: "You leave me here, let me calm down."

"Do you have a home?" Yin Xian asked.

"Yes, I have."

He asked again: "Do you know where home is?"

Wang Jiexiang told her real hometown name.

"You have to go there by train, how did you get here? Are you abducted?"

She sighed: "It's hard for me to explain to you."

Wang Jiexiang turned around and refused to continue the conversation with him.

Yin Xian turned off the light for her and closed the door behind him.

She couldn't help but feel discouraged: Why did she not listen to the rabbit at the beginning because she was so self-sufficient. Helping Yin Xian can't help, so it's better to think ahead, which set meal to have for lunch next week.

a long time.

It was so long that Wang Jiexiang put aside her troubles and fell asleep again.

The office was opened and the lights turned on.

Yin Xian told her to get up.

"Let's go, kid, to the train station. I've asked for leave and I'll take you home."
