Three years later.
He Jin was sitting in the office, immersed in reviewing the supply and demand applications submitted by various departments.
"Didn't the Outreach Department just replace a batch of old computers in the middle of last month? Why do you want to replace them again this month?" He handed one of the application forms to the secretary across the table, frowning, "Xiao Li, go and find out Take a look at the situation."
After returning to his hometown, He Jin obeyed his parents' arrangement and entered a local cultural institution. He did an internship and took an exam for half a year. To be the new director, but because of He Jin's young age, he suddenly jumped to the next level in just three years, which is a bit unpopular, especially the directors of the departments below are all uncles and aunts in their forties, who always treat him as a child. Director Xu is one of them. A few days ago, he called him, asked him out for dinner, and made friends with him. He Jin suspected that the application this time was not because the employee wanted to change the computer, but because he wanted to use it for his own use.
Xiao Li took He Jin's order, and handed him the financial statement that had just been sorted out: "Director He, I have already read the quarterly income and expenditure statement given by the financial department. There is nothing wrong with it. Please go over it."
Xiao Li is a college student who just graduated this year, and he also came in through his parents' relationship. He is not as lucky as He Jin. If He Jin does not leave his job, he will have no chance of promotion in this office in a short time. Fortunately, the young man doesn't have any ambitions. He has been a monk for a day and hits the clock for a day. He has a similar personality to Hou Dongyan.
Just as he was talking, the projection phone on the table rang, and He Jin pressed it open casually: "Minister Wang."
"Xiao He, a little star came to our city the day after tomorrow to hold a fan meeting. The entertainment company wants to borrow a venue that can accommodate 3,000 people. Conference hall, you go and arrange it... I will send you the relevant information later."
"Okay." He Jin hung up the phone and was taken aback. Little Star didn't know who it was.
"Wow, another star is coming!" Xiao Li looked at He Jin excitedly.
They directly manage the following performances, radio and television, and news publishing units. Many of them are related to celebrity activities, but they are in charge of administration. There are not many opportunities to meet celebrities directly. He just makes some pre-arrangements and information transfers. Work.
There was a sound of "ding", a reminder of a new email, He Jin opened it and froze for a moment.
Xiao Li was still asking, "Who is it?"
He Jin was silent for two seconds, then stabilized his voice, and said, "Eastern Emperor International...Qin Yang, have you heard of it?"
Xiao Li: "Damn it, how can this be considered a starlet? Qin Yang has almost become popular in the past two years. What did you just say, a venue with 5,000 people? Is it enough!"
He Jin laughed dryly: "At Minister Wang's age, it's normal to say that stars of this age are 'young'."
He Jin still clearly remembers that not long before they broke up, Qin Yang said to himself in high spirits: "The entertainment industry brings money quickly and trains people. I want to accumulate capital for my own business." That guy was really just a "little boy" back then. Star", but in the blink of an eye, he has changed from a two-dimensional Internet idol to a three-dimensional public figure sought after by tens of millions of people.
It's a pity that in that short-lived love affair, the former passionate lover has already become a stranger to him.
He Jin put his eyes back on the screen with a blank face, looked at the information carefully, and said, "It's just a small meeting, but just in case, it's best to notify the local public security department to restrict the traffic in the area." He called the heads of different departments and reported the matter. After it was properly handled, it was time to get off work.
The company is about 40 minutes away from his home. He Jin usually has no time to exercise, so walking to and from get off work has become a habit.
Walking on the night road with the autumn wind gradually rising, He Jin's thoughts seemed to be brought back three years ago.
In the breakup letter he wrote to Qin Yang, he explained his reasons and difficulties for leaving. If Qin Yang was mature enough, he would not come to him again.
Qin Yang did not look for it again, although He Jin kept his original mobile phone number and the communication in ME, but Qin Yang seemed to have completely severed ties with him, and never contacted him again.
That person also has his pride. He Jin knew that he had really hurt him.
The phone call with Qin Yang on the high-speed rail was the last time they met. After He Jin hung up the phone, he squatted at the end of the carriage, looking at the two sides of the railway speeding back and forth outside the glass door, the wild grass and fallen trees in late autumn, and a disastrous defeat, as if he had passed away. youth.
Six months later, he went back to school to defend himself. At first he was worried whether he would meet Qin Yang at school, but he did not. Hou Dongyan told him that Qin Yang seldom came to school because he became popular and many fans followed him. Every time I came to Huada to surround him, it caused a special sensation.
After learning that He Jin had "peacefully" broken up with Qin Yang, Hou Dongyan breathed a sigh of relief and told He Jin that in fact, just a week ago, Qin Yang came to school once, and at that time he was accompanied by a very beautiful girl who was also a celebrity. In terms of aura, everyone guessed that it was Qin Yang's new girlfriend.
He Jin's last indescribable hope was also extinguished, and his heart was completely cold. Yes, the relationship in his youth was like this, together, separated, and moving forward. No one can't live without him.
Almost home, He Jin withdrew his thoughts. In the past three years, he still lives with his parents, and his mother's condition has improved a lot.
When he first came back to stay at home, He Jin also suffered a lot of mental torture because of his mother's illness, and he was almost driven mad several times, especially those unbearable insults and "forced to die" at every turn.
At first, he was afraid that his mother would not be able to accept that he had a "mental problem". He's father and He Jin kept it from her, and his mother didn't realize the harm his nervousness caused to his family. Many hospitals and dozens of doctors personally learned about depression, only to learn that most patients like his mother are actually most afraid of not "knowing the truth", but "abnormal treatment" and "abnormal treatment" by their relatives. Don't care, don't care, don't care", He Jin's previous "run away from home" and not contact with his family is the most serious harm to patients like He Mu, because what she fears most in her heart is that her relatives leave her, So she took the family's financial power and tried to control her husband and son to stay by her side by controlling their money.
After finding out the root cause of the disease, He Jin decided to tell his mother the truth, and then persuaded his mother to see a psychiatrist. He also ate and chatted with her every day, and occasionally took a walk together. He Jin no longer flinches, no longer blindly avoids, and no longer indulges his mother's ideological prejudices. Whenever there is a disagreement, he calmly expresses his views to her mother, time and time again, with perseverance.
When he got home, there was hot food on the table, and his parents were still waiting for him to eat. The atmosphere at home was no longer tense, and there were often laughter and laughter. He Jin felt that he had paid so much and paid such a big price , At last there was no return.
However, there was still one thing that gave him a particularly headache and could not be avoided - a blind date.
"He Jin, your dad used to be the niece of a co-worker's eldest cousin. She is quite beautiful. It is said that she is working behind the scenes in a TV station. She is the same age as you and is still single. Are you interested in meeting her?" No, After two mouthfuls of rice, He Jin's mother couldn't help but bring it up again.
"Okay, let's meet." In order to take care of his mother's emotions, He Jin never refused similar blind date arrangements, and his attitude was very cooperative.
Mother He sandwiched a piece of braised pork for him, and underestimated: "I originally thought that I would let you find a suitable one two years ago and talk about it, and that you can almost get married now, but I couldn't figure it out. Are all girls so high-sighted now? How come after three years, every one has been negotiated! That girl is also 27 years old, two years earlier, I think the girl is too old. "
That's right, twenty-seven years old, graduated from Hua University, practical and stable, gentle and kind-hearted, director of the administrative office of a public institution, stable job, living parents, and a house at home... He Jin's conditions are almost the same as matchmaking matchmakers in the city. In the past three years, He Jin's family and relatives have tried to find him a girlfriend, but for some reason, He Jin has gone on countless blind dates, but none of them succeeded, and almost every time the girl refused.
He Jin said calmly: "Mom, nowadays young people are used to late marriage and late childbearing. There are many excellent girls who are still single at the age of 27. Don't be prejudiced against them."
Mother He said with a smile, "It's not a good idea to meet each other, just help others to speak, I want to see if it can be done this time."
He Jin also joked: "As long as you don't pick and choose, the possibility of success is relatively high, but I can't say for sure, maybe I just don't have a womanhood."
Mother He glared at him: "Where am I picky? It's been three years, and I still can't pick anything. I don't care what it is now, as long as it's a woman, you can bring it home, and I'll be thankful." Already!"
He Jin smiled wryly in his heart, but he couldn't bring back even a man.
During the conversation between the mother and son, Father He kept drinking the wine in silence, occasionally looking at He Jin thoughtfully.
After the meal, Mother He cleaned up the dishes, and Father He softly asked He Jin to go to the balcony to talk.
"He Jin..." Father He lit a cigarette, hesitant to speak, He Jin stood by the side silently, not knowing what his father was going to say.
Father He smoked half a cigarette before slowly saying, "Are you... still thinking about that person."
He Jin's little finger twitched unconsciously, pretending to understand: "Who?"
Father He sighed: "You know who I'm talking about, just the boy who was with you three years ago." At that time, Father He only thought of He Jin to quickly draw a line with that person, and never asked him about it. Who is it, and I have never met him.
He Jin wrote lightly: "It's been so long, I've forgotten it long ago."
Father He: "..."
He Jin: "Besides, I have to remember, can I promise my mother to go on a blind date?"
Father He was speechless, and after a while, he said, "Tell Dad about that person."
He Jin felt cold all over, and said with lowered eyes: "What are you talking about him doing? It's all in the past."
Father He: "Let's talk, even if it's over, it's still your experience. Dad wants to know more about you."
He Jin felt sour, and his hands began to tremble unconsciously again. He put his hands in his trouser pockets, took a deep breath, and said softly, "He's fine." After half a minute, He Jin said again: " nice to me."
