C6 An accident occurred in the show

Chen Yifan's car was parked in front of the company's office. He saw that the entire seventh floor office had turned out the last bit of light when Lin Xiaoyi came out.

Lin Xiaoyi shook her handbag while humming a song with her headphones on. She stretched and composed herself, wondering if she could catch the last train and run to the platform to wait.

Chen Yifan kept pressing his car horn. Lin Xiao Ai started to run with all her might, like a hungry wolf pouncing from behind. She looked extremely weird, and her legs swayed like a rabbit's.

She thought she heard someone calling her name, but it seemed that the number 11 was about to leave, and she did not care if someone called her, but she sped up and her handbag was thrown back and forth. He was just one step away from starting up the car when Lin Xiaoyi stopped panting and bent down.

Chen Yifan caught up with him. He pressed the horn even louder, stimulating his ears which were protected by the music.

Only then did Lin Xiao Ai see Chen Yifan. She smiled at him and waved him away. "Walk your own path. Let him drive his own car."

Did Little Ai want to challenge his patience? Chen Yifan got out of the car, grabbed her and stuffed her into the car like a doll that couldn't talk or walk.

"What for? I don't have time to eat or drink, I don't have time to work overtime, and I don't have time to serve you, Eldest Young Master. "

Seeing her so anxious, Chen Yifan could only say, "I'll send you off."

The atmosphere immediately froze. Lin Xiaoyi looked at the time and said, "I'll give you a chance to be Lei Feng."

Tu Honggang and Wang Fei's "Love" was playing in the car.

To break the awkward atmosphere, Xiao Ai said: "Who is this singing girl? Not bad. "

"Wang Fei, you can't even tell? As the '80s,' are you out? "

"'After 80' listens to Chen Yi Xun and Wang Fei's' Because of Love '. You must have heard it during the' 70s."

Wang Fei's and Tu Honggang's voices turned soft. This sad and beautiful song reminded her of Nie Wei. She once loved him so much, but in the end, they broke up. The only thing that Nie Wei had left for her was the identity of a "divorce".

"I've chosen you, I've never regretted it." However, Xiao Ai was a little regretful now and decided not to take it to heart. She could not help but feel a little sore under her nose.

Seeing Xiao Ai quietly sitting there with tears in her eyes, Chen Yifan vaguely felt that she was the one sitting next to him. The memory of the woman that he couldn't get rid of had a faint resemblance to her. He unconsciously held her somewhat cold hand. The temperature slowly rose, but it was so unreal. Xiao Ai forcefully retracted her hand. Chen Yifan did not insist and simply separated the two temperatures.

She tried to convince herself that she didn't like him, and neither did he. They were like butterflies and moths, not the same.

The atmosphere was deadlocked again.

"Um, Liu Xu likes you a lot. She's a person who needs protection and is very weak. She's serious with you, you think about it." These were the last words from Elmo before she got out of the car. She didn't want to take a bite out of the meat her best friend had seen. Judging from Liu Xu's performance in recent days, she was indeed injured.

That night, Ay did not sleep well, and dreamed that she was the third person, while the mistress, after her return, brought a stew of bones, saying that she had been busy lately and needed some nourishment.

The loud ringing of the alarm woke her up from her dream. Lin Xiaoyi's first thought was that she would be late for a fashion show, so she quickly put on her clothes and rushed to the scene as fast as a typhoon had swept her.

Seeing that everything was normal, she felt a lot more at ease. This was the first case she had in her hands, so she definitely could not allow any sudden disasters to happen.

An hour before the roadshow, when the models were rehearsing backstage, for some reason, their stomachs began to ache. The staff suspected that they had been poisoned by food poisoning. They all had breakfast together in the morning, but there was nothing unusual about the others.

"Can you hold on?"

"No, it's like this. We have to go to the hospital. If anything happens, are you going to take responsibility?" A model was in so much pain that his forehead was covered in sweat.

No matter how Lin Xiaoyi tried to persuade her, the charming models refused. At this time, Chen Yifan was not here yet, so there was no one who had come to negotiate with him.

All of a sudden, one of the models fainted. Chen Yifan's phone was always busy, so Lin Xiaoyi was so anxious that she could only be number one.

"Quick, take him to the hospital."

"Little Ai, that's not good. Chief Chen will definitely fly into a rage if he knows about this. It's better to report it to the Leader." said Harry, frowning. In the face of such a big thing.

"Little Ai is most adept at crisis management. She might be able to avoid danger." "If she wants to make trouble, give her a chance to do it. Otherwise, are you responsible for what happened?"

After the models had left, Lina called Chen Yifan and said, "Something has happened over here. Lin Xiaoxi insists on not taking the advice."

Chen Yifan went straight to Lin Xiaoi, his face filled with anger. "Why didn't you tell me about such a huge incident?" It was your idea to go to the hospital, wasn't it? It's only half an hour away from the show, where do we get more than a dozen first-rate models? The spare models in the company also had their own performances. Lin Xiao Ai, I have to ask you to do something for me. "You, Understand?" Chen Yifan was furious. For a moment, everyone was frozen, no one dared to breathe out loud, for fear of disturbing their superior's nerves.

"Director Chen, they can't hold on. If you didn't see that kind of situation, perhaps someone might have died. We can't sacrifice more than ten girls who are still growing up in the flower season just because of a performance, right?" Lin Xiaoyi was a little unconvinced. "I'm telling you, can their illness be cured?"

"Who's going to take the blame for this. Do you know how important this fashion show is?"

"If the company wants to punish me, then punish me." She had an air of righteousness.

Chen Yifan was originally not a person who smoked in public, but now, his mood was a little chaotic. He lit up a cigarette and the smoke began to swirl around him, as if it was a problem he could not get rid of.

"Director Chen, how about I contact the model again and we delay the event a little?" Lin Xiao Ai carefully held up her suggestion, afraid that she would be shot in the face and die.

"You have to have a sense of time, don't think that it doesn't matter. No one will forgive you for your mistakes. Call them over for a meeting. " Chen Yifan pinched the cigarette in his hand.

When Lina, Harry, Dong Zi, and Little Ai arrived, Chen Yifan was typing on his computer. A few of them were silent, not daring to breathe. A quarter of an hour later, Chen Yifan raised his head and began to assign the task.

"Dong Zi, the closest advertising company is around the corner. Follow this to produce a poster. It's simple, just take it quickly and bring it over in ten minutes."

"Harry, pick up Dong Zi. When the posters arrive, cover all the models on this street."

"Lina, go check on the model. Try to get back as soon as possible."

"What about me?" Lin Xiaoyi asked carefully.

"The more friends you have, the better."

The media was waiting in the lounge to watch a good show. Some of them had already heard the news and came over to ask about Chen Yifan's situation.

Dong Zi brought out a poster. Lin Xiaoyi looked at it and read:

Along the red carpet it was not the kitchen but the dream of the woman, the EV dress, holding the winter fire, following the woman's dream, warming every woman.

Customers who buy EV costumes can walk a cat's walk on the Allegro, feeling the starlight under the lights and flash lights. He could even take photos with the mainland's Red Star Jing Yi. There weren't many opportunities, what was there to wait for?

No need to be interested in this moment, the action is right in front of the EV store on Wangfujing Street in Beijing, the time, right now, is 10: 00, Nov. 30, 2010.

Comeon!

The poster was of a comic book woman with a shopping bag, daintily dressed for shopping.

The media was taking pictures on all sides of the red carpet.

"I can't just stand there alone and walk around the block. No matter what, I have to find a partner." Jing Yi was not satisfied. Originally, she was high and mighty, but now, she was reduced to a poor show that was even worse than a C-list model. She walked around in thin clothes, while the T stage was a red carpet.

"I'll play with you." As soon as Chen Yifan's words left his mouth, everyone revealed a surprised expression. The dignified EVs' marketing director, a street show?

Chen Yifan held Jing Yi's hand as they walked along the red carpet. The scene was extremely warm, fitting the topic of this dress, "Winter's warmth". It was the warmest scene of the winter.

"Remember when we first met?" Jing Yi's lips did not move, but a tiny sound was heard, only allowing Chen Yifan to hear.

"Thank you for your help today." Chen Yifan did not answer the question directly.

"That day, you were wearing the same color as today, standing on the stage of the school party. I put my hand on your arm like I did today … " Jing Yi's small voice echoed into Chen Yifan's ears, bringing back the memories of being buried deep within.

The campus was so quiet at night that one could hear the stars talking, holding their breath just to watch the school flower, Jingyi, walk. The camera slowly moved forward until only her graceful appearance could be seen. He jumped up from the stage and danced a beautiful dance with her based on the impulse in his heart. The cries of the audience, the whistles of his companions, the lights flashing back and forth in brilliant colors, it was just him and her that night.

Lin Xiaoyi looked at Jing Yi holding Chen Yifan's arm as they walked on the red carpet. Their eyes seemed to communicate deeply. Perhaps this was what acting was like, but she didn't know why, but she felt a tinge of unhappiness.

Liu Xu pretended to shop as she walked on the red carpet in her EV attire. She had an S-shaped curve and was photographed by Jingyi, attracting the envious gaze of many women.

The girls who are keen on celebrities, and the beautiful women who are keen on fame, are not stingy about the yuan in their pockets, and sales of EV apparel are on the rise. While the civilian model feels the road of starlight, it also brings another unusual fashion show.

The enthusiasm of the media was as bright as the lights.

Half an hour before the event ended, the models came back to serve as the final tipping point for another climax.

Everything went smoothly. Seeing the women's crazed shopping and uncontrollable display of lust, Lin Xiaoyi's heart, which was on the verge of popping out of her chest, calmed down. She felt even more grateful towards Chen Yifan.

Working overtime for days, the lack of sleep assailed her. Ai Ai fell asleep in the warehouse where the goods were stored.

Fatigue is a kind of game. Sometimes you have to play it. It's not addiction, but you can't quit because it's all about the rice bowl.

Besides being related to the rice bowl, Lin Xiao Ai's tiredness was also related to herself. She had also forgotten some things and obtained the stupidest but most effective shortcuts.

After the show ended, Jing Yi accepted an interview with the media. When Chen Yifan was arranging his work, he noticed that Lin Xiaoyi had disappeared.

No one noticed the appearance and disappearance of Lin Xiaoyi among the scattered crowd. Other than the money falling from the sky, no one else seemed to have noticed anything else in the vicinity.

Chen Yifan received a call. He went into the warehouse to answer the call before the commotion could fade away. He found Lin Xiaoyi asleep on a pile of clothes, snoring softly with her eyes closed and eyelashes bent. Chen Yifan actually thought that if she slept in his arms and woke up in the middle of the night and looked at her calm face, it should be a kind of happiness.

He pulled his coat over her and made a small movement.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong? "

Xiao Ai raised her head in alarm and saw only Chen Yifan and the man's clothes that had just woken her. Chen Yifan looked at her and smiled.

"Where's the event? How is it going? Was there a problem? "I didn't do it intentionally to be lazy, it's really …"

"Xiao Ai," Chen Yifan suddenly pulled her into his arms, "I think I'm falling in love with you. Slowly, I can't resist this feeling. Promise me, stay with me."

Lin Xiaoyi was so shocked by his sudden action that she didn't know what to say. She even forgot whether she should push him away or accept it.

Chen Yifan pulled her close to him and held her tightly in his arms. With that, Lin Xiao Ai came back to her senses. She struggled out of Chen Yifan's embrace with a smile that was neither servile nor overbearing as she said, "Boss Chen, I have always treated you as a righteous man. Don't …" "Don't let yourself fall." Little Ai didn't dare to look at him when she said this, and her voice was a few degrees lower than usual. She wanted to joke like she usually did, but she didn't have a sense of humor when she said it. She thought he must be the second Jack, because it was impossible for him to be with her. Did he fall in love with her at first sight, or was there some magic in her that attracted him?

Normally, she was confident that she would become one of the Seven Fairies, but at a crucial moment, she had already descended into the mortal world and became a village nun. Lin Xiaoi did not have any immortal arts or any faith in her.

"I'm serious. It started when we were at the airport and you hit my car and you wanted me to pay for it. That day, the constellation said that I would get lucky. I don't believe it, but it's really very magical. Xiao Ai could not believe the sincerity in Chen Yifan's eyes. Her heart was beating at a rate of 120 beats per minute. She almost fainted in the arms of the man in front of her.

"Don't be lazy." A shout woke her up.

So it was just a dream, a fantasy. Seeing Chen Yifan walk over proudly with his hands in his pockets, Lin Xiaoyi blushed.

Lin Xiao Ai mischievously stuck out her tongue. He must have seen what happened when she was sleeping. The scene in her dream had made her feel embarrassed. She did not dare to look Chen Yifan in the eye. Her face turned red all the way down to her neck. It was as if a rose had suddenly bloomed.

"Aiyo, my legs are numb." Lin Xiao Ai wanted to stand up. Due to having slept in the warehouse for too long, her legs remained in the same position, unable to stand up. Her legs were cramping.

"Don't move." Chen Yifan squatted down and stretched his legs back and forth, "The exercise will be good enough."

The dream and the reality were in disarray, and her instinct was that the intense light before her eyes was making her dizzy. His hand was warm on his skin and running into his blood.

"Isn't it much better? "Don't sleep like that anymore." His voice was pleasant to hear, and Lin Xiaoyi was still lost in the illusion of the world of white dizziness.

Her skin was as white as the petals of a lily, soft and dewy. Looking at her face, Chen Yifan could not help but want to kiss those eyes.

Come closer, come closer, come closer...

He moved closer to her face. She thought it was a dream again, and closed her eyes. Slowly, as he moved closer to her face, she could feel the heat of his breath tickling her face.

The closer the breathing, the more frightened Lin Xiaoi became as she was immersed in her dreams. With a jolt, all the clothes in the warehouse were thrown away. She was stunned, and once again a bad image fell into his eyes.

"Say, you're a retard. You're still a retard."

"I …" Lin Xiao Ai was unconvinced, but she could not find any reason to retort. She had messed up a pile of clothes, what other excuse could she possibly have?

"Why aren't you cleaning up? What are you thinking about?" Chen Yifan reached behind Xiao Ai and took out a cardboard box.

Lin Xiao Ai's face became even hotter. She felt so ashamed that she wanted to put herself in a box and cover herself up. The two of them cleaned up the messy warehouse.

"Be careful!" Due to her self-deprecation, Lin Xiao Ai's thoughts were not on cleaning up her clothes. She accidentally bumped into a pile of goods on the other side of the store. The goods were on the verge of collapse. However, she was completely unaware of her own danger. Chen Yifan's "caution" also baffled her.

Without time to think, Chen Yifan pulled her out. She lost her balance and stumbled into his arms, followed by the thud of the goods on the ground. Her eyes opened wide in horror as she looked at him. Only the sound of her breathing could be heard, causing the world to spin and become still for a moment.

They looked at each other, memories like reversing spacetime, instantly playing, airport crash, chrysanthemums in hand, office encounters, bars... Perhaps this was fate, sending each other to the other's side, even if the two were enemies it was fate.

Suddenly, the phone rang. Xiao Ai came back to her senses from another time and space. Liu Xu said: "After work, you can go to that house near your home and get a barbecue. I'm waiting for you. Don't work so hard, the company won't pay you. "

"I'll be there in a moment."

After hanging up, she was still in Chen Yifan's arms. Only then did she notice and quickly escaped. His scent was still lingering on Xiao Ai's body. She looked at Chen Yifan embarrassedly, her face completely red.

"I, have something to do, so I'll be leaving first."

Not long ago, Liu Xu just confessed to Chen Yifan, but he fell into Chen Yifan's arms and let his imagination run wild. Lin Xiaoyi did not know how she could face her best friend. Love or not, it was not up to him to decide.

"Come on, we'll have it before you do."

Liu Xu's ordinary enthusiasm was different from what she felt today, "I can give birth to two bowls later."

"This is for you to eat, I want to eat this." Liu Xu put her bowl of pills in the small bowl, and picked out the golden mushroom from the small bowl.

"How spicy, it's unbearable to be smelly tomorrow." Lin Xiaoyi regained her usual boldness.

"Xiao Ai, I'm still eating." Xuanxuan protested.

The three of them went home together, talking and laughing as they fought over who should take a bath first and who should take the TV remote control as well as who should sit on the large sofa in the middle. Lin Xiaoyi was afraid that this balance would be broken and she would never be able to recover.

One can sleep without a heart, but one cannot work without a heart.

The lack of sleep in this night can be a good supplement, catkins also take out their own specially made mask, pearl powder in addition to egg white, beauty for Xiao Ai.

"Ruin, you're too good."

"Stupid girl, what did you eat today? Your head is spinning."

"You deserve to be single today. To give you two nice words is like cutting off your flesh. "No matter how high the chest is, it won't escape the life of the woman who's left behind."

"Who said I have one left? Elder sister, I still want to shake off number 39 man. Who would believe that I would be dumped? Xuanxuan, do you believe this? She didn't even believe it. "You said that once you leave the opposite sex, you shouldn't try to compete with us unmarried women for the market. Young opponents are already enough, and we can easily beat all of them."

"Both of you pinch each other. When we are heavily injured, I will reap the rewards." Xuanxuan smiled complacently, as she finally said something more classic between the three of them.

"There's progress! Under the influence of the two of us, who are beautiful and intelligent, who are intellectual and sexy, who are both humorous and elegant, you, who only have a chest and no brain, have been enlightened. "If you pick up some handsome guys in the future, you can go down the mountain and wander around by yourself." Lin Xiaoyi felt that her sense of humor had dropped recently, almost reaching the level of Xuanxuan. The work was important, the money was hard to make, but life lacked a sense of humor, as if there were no salt in the vegetables and it was hard to swallow.

Three women for a play, this play is full of fun.

After the Winter Fashion branding came to an end, Lin Xiaoyi made a call to her home. The retired father took up the role of pillar, the mother recovered from the pain, the sister-in-law slowly grew tired of burying her youth in the service of a man who might never be able to stand up again for the rest of her life, the nephew still naively assumed that his father was ill.

"Dad, isn't it possible to walk like a normal person just by installing a prosthetic limb? Money isn't a problem. We can earn it. I'm still young, and I have plenty of time. Really, don't give up. Lin Xiaoyi said every word as if a needle was pricking her throat. She had never thought that one day she would have to be strong enough to support her family. It was said that the water poured out by the daughter who had married off would make the daughter lose money, but she had to use her meagre strength to support her collapsed home.

"Since the amputation, your brother has rarely spoken and has given up on himself. Even if your mother and I tried to persuade him, it would be to no avail. I'm afraid one day we'll send a white-haired man to a black-haired man. " Her father's words stung Lin Xiaoyi's weak heart even more. She had no choice but to be strong.

"Give the phone to Bro, I'll tell him."

"Your brother can't move now, we can't even take care of ourselves right now, we still have to take care of him, and he still gave up on himself." There were many who had lost their legs, but wasn't Sang Lan also in a wheelchair? How could she have survived, and why was she smiling so sweetly? Look at your brother, trying to drag us down to death?! " The sound of her sister-in-law's voice was particularly shrill in the loudspeaker speakers. It floated into Xiao Ai's ears.

"Bro," a single word came out from Xiao Ai's mouth, causing her to be unable to hold back her grief. She forcefully exhaled, "I know it's hard for you to accept this fact, but the ones who are more difficult than you are are your father, mother, sister-in-law, and Hao Hao. They love you more than you. They could still bear the situation, but not the loss of their son, their husband, and their father. You have always been the pillar of our family. Without you, we wouldn't have the courage to persevere. Mom and Dad have been raising us for twenty to thirty years, so you shouldn't be so low spirited. Even if you're sitting in a wheelchair, you still have to be strong and live on. "Now that technology is so advanced, I don't believe that others can stand up, but you can't …"

Stop talking, I am just a burden now. If I stay here for a day, none of you will have a good life." This is a bottomless pit, you can't give me a pair of legs even if you try your best for a lifetime. I don't want to see you worry so much. I should have been killed in a car accident, and there wouldn't have been so much trouble. I'm just a nuisance, a nuisance! " It had been many days since Lin Da Gang had uttered a complete sentence.

"Brother, we don't want anything to happen to you. You still have your parents, wife and children. As long as he was alive, it was not too late. We should think in a good direction, when you can change your prosthetic limb, slowly recover, and walk, then we can do some small business, isn't that also good? "

Lin Xiaoyi could not hold in her tears any longer. The phone was filled with pain and sadness. Life can be fragile, too fragile to think about.

Life is always a wave, wave after wave, no one can predict where the next wave will hit.

The Beijing wind brought sand with it. Chen Yifan, who had just come out of Lars's office and was standing at the window, was hit by a gust of wind. His face was instantly covered in a layer of powder.

Chen Yifan had wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to apply for a raise for his employees, but Lars said he could only add one. Lina had been in the company for many years, and her boss was diligent. However, Lin Xiaoyi had been working very hard recently and needed money the most. As a manager, she should get some for both public and private purposes.

Lars was finally persuaded by Chen Yifan. He offered a 10% raise to Lin Xiaoi, but she had to apply for it herself. She also wanted to directly supervise Chen Yifan's work evaluation and salary increase, as well as inspect it.

Chen Yifan knew that Lars was extremely serious about his work, and that even a small decision had to be made with the same care and caution as an inspection of the United States headquarters.

From the camera in the company elevator, Lars could tell that Lin Xiaoyi always came to work first, the last to leave work, and she always carried a bunch of documents with her every time. Sometimes, the elevator would open its files to think, suddenly having an inspiration and then drawing with a pen, then forgetting which floor to press and letting the elevator go up and down. Observing from the camera was one of the ways he understood his employees. Lin Xiaoyi had contributed to the fashion show, although it was a little flawed in the end.

It was a basic requirement for Ras to put in effort and power, and the process had to go.

Money, money, how could he earn more money faster? Lin Xiaoyi was wandering in the tea room. Sell himself? No. Acting? He didn't have any skill. Washing dishes? Not much a year. Home tutoring seemed to be a pretty good way of doing things. This was how they earned money for living expenses while they were still in school. It was as if she had found a way out, as if she could see the renminbi splashing in front of her eyes like a fairy scattering flowers.

"What are you thinking about that made you so lost in thought?"

Seeing Chen Yifan again, Xiao Ai felt uneasy. What did that dream mean? Do you think you're in love? She didn't know. She self-deprecatingly said, "Other than money, what else can make the great me so distracted?"

Chen Yifan didn't seem surprised at all. He said in a leader's tone, "Don't even think about it. Go back and write a salary increase application. I've mentioned it to Lars before. We'll give you an increase of 10%."

"Really?" She shifted her mood to the salary increase. The sudden appearance of 10% made her unable to believe it. She had also been in the EV for more than two years. Other than increasing her salary by three percent by the year, there was basically no chance for her to get a raise unless she was promoted. Although a few hundred dollars wasn't a lot, it still brought her a pleasant surprise.

The pay raise was a secret, but there were no secrets in the office, no matter how secretive something was, it would come out like the wind for people to guess at after tea.

Lately, Lina and Harry had been very close, and they had always been whispering to Lin Xiaoxi about how she could get a raise in the marketing department in just two months. We've been there for three years without any credit or hard work, and yet we haven't even seen a drizzle. The words were filled with flames of jealousy and indignation.

"Dong'zi, why is it that Lina and Harry have been whispering to each other lately, and their eyes are always on me? Is it because I'm being overly concerned?"

"Xiao Ai, they were very unconvinced when they heard that you had raised your salary. To be honest, your salary increase is really too fast. Although it is something that you deserve, for us, who have worked for three years without a rise in our wages, it is very sudden and needs to be slowly digested. "

Lin Xiao Ai did not understand. You guys can't accept my raise, don't tell me I'm in for a ride of misfortune. Are you all happy to watch me make a fool of myself? Not only were they enemies, but so were their colleagues. It's a good thing you got a reward, not to mention your promotion. It's even more terrifying than being scolded by your boss.

Liu Xu told her, "Let the flames of jealousy burn them slowly. There is no need to please them by saying that I don't need a raise. It wasn't greatness, it was stupidity. Men and women in the office are best at accepting sudden disasters. They are not the usual people who are good at resisting stress. They slowly get used to it. "

Father also said: "Little Ai, the wood is fine in the forest, the wind will destroy it. "As a person, you have to keep a low profile. We will not fight for it. However, you have to defend the results of your hard work. If you did not do anything wrong, then there is no need to be afraid."

Lin Xiaoyi realized that her father was really old. In the past, he had always taught her not to fight and not to snatch. God wouldn't set the pie on your head, so if it really hit you, it would be a trap. Now, he was teaching himself to be low-key and not fight over it. Time is really cruel, turning a hot-blooded young man into an old man who thinks twice about everything.

Lin Xiaoi left work as usual. She had to face the 10% increase in wages, and to get the second and third 10%, she had no other choice but to work hard.

Another overtime night, turning out the last light in the office, she walked out, the neon Beijing night filled with the atmosphere of Christmas. Merchants had set their hands on it early, a month in advance, and there were pictures of Santa Claus and Christmas trees full of presents.

When the phone rang, Lin Xiaoyi was thinking about Christmas Eve last year, a woman who had been abandoned, a woman who had escaped from her marriage to a rented apartment, a lively Christmas Eve that did not belong to her.

"Ai, I'm under your company. Let's have a cup of coffee together."

Xuanxuan rarely came out so late. Being a good girl, she would return home almost every week, picking up large bags of new things and exchanging them for snacks. She is known as a "small child," but has always said that she has grown up and is now forcibly separated from her parents.

Separated? Xiao Ai always mocked her. Every night before she went to bed, she would tell stories to her mother, like a child.

It seemed as if this sort of night especially required a strong friend like her to protect the pampered young miss of the city. When she appeared in front of Xuanxuan, she saw another person.

"Xuanxuan, did you want me to become a light bulb? "It's quite dazzling."

"I told Tao Yu that you work nearby, so he said he wanted to work with you."

Lin Xiaoyi scolded herself for not asking clearly. Not only was the red thread not tied, it had also blocked the way forward, adding a mountain to Xuanxuan's already bumpy road of love.

"I still have things to do, you guys take your time."

"I have something to talk to you about. I have a foreign friend who wants to find a Chinese teacher. I want to ask if any of you friends want to try. I can't find anyone around me like that."

"There's one standing right in front of you. English is enough to communicate with foreigners. The Chinese department's top students will give him a 20% discount out of respect for you." Xiao Ai seemed to see the path to becoming rich.

Tao Yu and Lin Xiaoyu began to talk about home tutors, but Xuanxuan was unable to say anything. She simply stirred her coffee and sipped absent-mindedly.

"This friend of mine has a very good personality, moreover, she just arrived in China and doesn't know anything. I said Mom and Mom meant the same thing, and she asked me if my girl was my aunt. "

Lin Xiao Ai and Tao Yu both laughed, only Xuanxuan did not. Lin Xiao Ai realized that she had won the position of host, so she pretended to look at the time and say that she still had things to do. She would have to trouble Tao Yu to send Xuanxuan home later.

When she left, she whispered in Xuanxuan's ear, "Seize the opportunity." She hoped that Xuanxuan wouldn't be like before, pulling her hand as if she was going to get pregnant. Afterwards, she panicked and called her mother.

In the end, when she reached home, Xuanxuan was already at home. Nothing had happened to her and Tao Yu, who had missed such a good night for nothing. Their hearts felt like they had eaten honey as they waited on the phone for a "good night" text message.

Having eaten a meal together and walked once, it was as if she was in love. Xuan Xuan Xuan did not want anyone else in her heart, and she would not allow a second woman to appear in Tao Yu's world. She was naive.

Why can some people always be so carefree, even if it's a joke, but still leave laughter? Lin Xiaoyi could not understand whether the hug he had with Chen Yifan in the warehouse was a coincidence or not. Was there no reason in his world for skin contact to be like farting? He always had his usual meetings, assignments, and calls for her to lecture, and he never even gave her a wink.

"Being taken advantage of for no reason at all, the next time we're met by a girl, I'll kick you into a half-step. With the appearance of an unlucky bear, how could it still have the luck to make a Happy Sheep? " She was sure that she would never think of it again, that she would never be merciful.

"Ai, type this document and send it to Lars as an email. Send a copy to me and the sales director. Finish it in half an hour." Chen Yifan didn't even look at her, directly throwing the document to her.

"No problem. Fifteen minutes will do." Lin Xiao Ai spoke passionately and smiled confidently. Don't blame me for being unintentional. You can be carefree and I'll forget about you.

The five painstakingly practiced pens from that year were finally put to use. After checking to confirm that there was no error in sending the mail, he did not forget to inform Chen Yifan on QQ that he had finished sending the pens.

This was the first time that Xiao Ai had directly left home after work to be a home tutor in Chinese. For intellectuals who did not turn knowledge into money, the fastest and easiest way to make money was home education.

She did not forget to call her brother to comfort him. Her brother seemed to have gotten better these days. She didn't hear any more of his complaints about life or death. Lin Xiaoyi always tried to say something happy.

Lin Xiaoi's target was a 30-year-old American woman. Her husband was Chinese and he had come to China to meet her in-laws. However, other than "Hello", "I'm sorry", and "Thank you", he couldn't speak Chinese.

It was a high-end house. No matter what, it had to be worth at least ten million yuan. The balcony could be used as a small garden with all kinds of bonsai set in it. Lin Xiaoyi started from the basic dialogue, only with context and language, unlike the Chinese who were dumb after learning English for six or seven years, and who could only say "hello", "solry", "thankyou" when they saw foreigners.

"Teacher Lin, come and eat the fruit bowl." Therese brought a plate of fruit salad.

"Delis, this is a plate, a plate, let's say a plate of fruit, not a bowl of fruit. The basin is deeper than the plate, such as the washbasin or the vegetable basin. " Lin Xiaoyu gestured back and forth with the plate and basin, and Doris nodded thoughtfully.

The home tutor ended very soon. Lin Xiaoyi still needed to go home and prepare the documents for tomorrow. The courses had been dropped a few times already, so she had to take some time to catch up.

The call to the class reunion was called over and over again as if urging one's death. Lin Xiaoyi did not have the time to socialize with these familiar yet strange classmates of hers who still had to show off after they had matured.

"I've been really busy recently and I don't have time. Next time, I'll definitely go next time."

"That won't do, Lin Xiaoyi. I'm the ninth old classmate in our class to invite you on the phone. You're not going to let everyone invite you once, are you?"

Aiyo, I don't even understand the 5-line score, how can there be such a score? "Stop talking nonsense, unless I'm a corpse on Beijing Avenue, I have to go.

"This is the Lin Xiao Ai that I remember. We were waiting for you. If you don't come, we will go to the company to capture him."

These bastards wouldn't give up until they forced people into a corner. Was it to gather for the sake of nostalgia, to show off what they had today, or to see who was stronger tomorrow? Lin Xiaoyi made up her mind. She agreed to put the pigeons down when the time came. In the decades of life, who wasn't let go of the pigeon? Occasionally, he would have to put it on a few times in order to be able to face himself.

At the Shangri-La Hotel in Beijing, other than on official business, she had never been to such a high-class hotel before. At the Shangri-La Hotel in Beijing, other than on official business, she had never been to such a high-class hotel.

When Lin Xiaoi arrived on the bus, she saw Fatty and Li Ling by the door. Their warm smiles were even warmer than the winter sun. The Audi and BMWs seemed as far away as if they were in a car industry.

Lin Xiaoyi did not go over, but went back to work. Choose to go back to work in this warm weather.

"Didn't you ask for a leave of absence?"

"Me? "It's fine now."

When Chen Yifan met Xiao Ai, he was a little worried. The sadness that flashed through Xiao Ai's eyes stimulated his heart. Was it a family problem or was it related to taking leave of absence today? Could it be Nie Wei? Chen Yifan guessed.

Lin Xiaoyi tidied up the documents absent-mindedly, feeling a deep sense of defeat. Men, no; career, nothing.

Not to mention BMW and Audi, even if she bought Chery QQ she would still have to consider saving money. At the most, she wouldn't need to consider paying off the loan in instalments or eating food.

Why didn't you last a bit and carry the divorce on your shoulders? Until now, you are still a full wife, maybe even a pregnant mother. Wasn't women just looking for a good man to give birth to a good breed and focus on nurturing the next generation of elites?

This thought flashed through her mind, but was immediately interrupted. Nie Wei, not a man who can abandon everything for you and be a temporary husband, but can't be you for life.

"Your raise was not approved."

"Why? Is there a problem?" Lin Xiaoyi was infuriated, puzzled and confused.

"A few senior executives said that you changed your attitude too quickly. When they heard that you were going to raise your salary, they couldn't help but start working overtime."

Lin Xiaoyi understood. These days she had been training and tutoring, so she had to hurry on her way after work. Of course she didn't work overtime, and besides, she wasn't very busy these days.

"Could it be that the premise of a raise is to work overtime? Should the top brass, who raise their salaries every year but never work overtime, consider working overtime? I don't know that there is a direct relationship between salary increases and overtime in the Labour Code. You obviously have to work overtime just to get a raise. Is that efficient or is it a waste of the company's resources? " Lin Xiaoyi said self-deprecatingly. She had never understood why some things were a sentence to a big shot, but it was even more difficult for a small fry like her.

"We do have a chance. Next season, there will be a batch of excellent employees. I hope you can work hard on that."

Lin Xiaoyi felt that his words were forced, like a blank cheque, an unstated promise?

As it turns out, you are just the leader, while I am just your subordinate. We are separated by status, by power, and by the entire world.

"Lin Xiao Ai, someone is looking for you."

"Darling, why haven't you arrived when we agreed on a public certificate for your prenuptial property? My BMW has been waiting outside for a long time. "

Lin Xiaoyi almost hit the wall, the fat guy came to pick her up, followed by two well-armed brothers in suits and sunglasses. They seemed to be the most mischievous and passionate young master in the class.

"Aiya, hurry up. Time is money. I'm losing a few zeros in my bank account." Fatty was anxiously pretending to be a gentleman and waiting for her.

"Me?"

Lina and the others were stunned by this scene. Chen Yifan also seemed to have been cheated, and his mood dropped to the level of a few stars.

"This is the company. Please do not hinder others from working."

Xiao Ai glanced at Chen Yifan and realized that his mood was unstable, as if he would explode at any moment. The fat guy didn't finish his sentence. As he cried out, she followed him out helplessly. As they walked out of the office, a few of them burst out laughing.

"I am a young married woman. This will hinder my luck with the peach blossoms. Be careful not to have bad luck in my next life."

"Pei pei, what bad luck? We do business very carefully."

Lin Xiao Ai was now an atheist. Forget about bad luck, she did not mind bad luck because she already had nothing left. How much could she lose? The fat man and the others were more bothered. After doing business for a long time, they slowly began to believe in fortune telling. Which family did not want Second Master Guan and Maneki-Neko?

"She's clearly a rich lady, why is Little Ai still working so hard?" Harry was shocked to see it.

"Have you never heard of empty rooms in a large courtyard? The rich lady is the voice of loneliness. " Lina had always hated Lin Xiaoi. Why was it that she could get anything she wanted? Even though she had a diamond-leveled husband, she was still fighting over a small territory.

"It doesn't look like it. Little Ai has always said that she's unmarried."

"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone. I heard she was married." Lina whispered the mysterious news to Harry.

"Work." Chen Yifan threw out two powerful words, containing anger, impatience, and doubt …

During the party, Li Ling acted as if she had been in the government for a long time. She drank wine with a very straightforward manner, even making the wine orders much more convenient. She remembered that before graduation, this little girl had only finished one glass of wine. It was just a few years, but she had changed so much that it was shocking.

Summer Snow was a rich lady, and mink coats were expensive, from top to bottom limited edition Chanel, even the package was limited edition CUCCI. There was a limit to how much it could be used, but it couldn't be used in the same way. Was this the specialty of nobility? Lin Xiao Ai did not know that at least she would not buy those things. At most, she would take a look.

The fatty was still as capable as before. As a typical rich second-generation, he had lived too successfully, being the big boss of a small business.

"Xiao Ai, I heard that you and Nie Wei got divorced. Are you guys married? "We greeted each other earlier and didn't even set up a banquet. The brothers are all waiting to drink." The fat guy spoke. This was not something that could be mentioned by others, so he was biased.

Everyone has changed. I have changed from a woman of the first class to a woman of the second class." The worst thing is, I haven't even seen the bridal chamber. This guy cut me into two with nine dollars. "Now I'm just a resentful woman. All of you men, don't provoke me. Be careful that I don't go crazy." "There was no need to hide what they knew. Lin Xiaoxi was the same as before.

"Ai, you and I, I'm divorced. I chased after you when you were still in school, and you only have Nie Wei in your eyes. "He's as thin as dry firewood. One look is enough to tell that he was malnourished when he was young, and that if you marry him you would suffer. If you follow me, I will definitely not let you suffer."

The fat university had been treating Lin Xiaoxi well for the past four years, even after they had gotten their hands on the girl, it did not diminish their feelings for her at all. At this time, the joke carried seriousness, and in the seriousness of it, there was a bit of flirting.

This ugly duckling still doesn't want to fly up that branch of yours and become a phoenix. "I, live, limbs healthy, no spitting on the ground, environmental protection free, saluting when I see a flag, not being able to kill when I see a beauty, not betraying relatives and friends for money, a girl with great prospects, how many handsome guys are waiting in line in front of my house, none of them even a class.

Without this little bit of humor, Lin Xiaoyi was excluded from the circle. She did not have a rich father, a golden husband, or any good opportunities. She could only rely on this specialty to carve out a path for herself.

By the end of the party, they were pretty much drunk. Those who had driven here could no longer drive back. Fortunately, Lin Xiaoyi was never allowed to drink, so she could go back safely. No one cared about giving her a gift. Drunk people couldn't even protect themselves, and those who weren't drunk were still exaggerating themselves. When the time came, they would probably run faster than anyone else.

Looking at the time, it was already close to evening. Some of the students had to go back to the airport train station, and those who were drunk would probably have to change their time of return.

"The endless wilderness will follow you as you roam, and all the days will be as clear as you."

Lin Xiaoxi was singing this song, "The Saddle of Horses", in an incomparably tragic manner.

The car outside the door turned the wheel and went back.

Chen Yifan was struggling inwardly.

When Lin Xiaoyi went back, Liu Xu and Xuan Xuan were talking about men. Liu said that they had to take the initiative, and Xuan Xuan said that women had to be reserved. Just like you, Chen Yifan was scared off.

"Aunt, I don't believe you at all. From tomorrow onwards, I will dress up as a virgin and lend you a set of casual clothes." Liu Xu has always been brooding over this matter, never doubted her own charm, began to lose confidence. A marriage that felt at hand is now like a fantasy. It is now undesirable to see whether you are willing or not.

Lin Xiaoyi went to the bathroom to vomit as soon as she entered. Although she was not contaminated, her rejection had not been relieved and she was vomiting heavily. The wine was not a good thing. What it drank was money, and what it vomited out was trash.

"Another pitiful woman who got pregnant before marriage. Sometimes, being single isn't necessarily a good thing. At the very least, children are blacklisted by the law. One must be a man and a woman to be together."

"Who are you talking about? Smelling this smell of alcohol on his body, even calling him child, unmarried first? Your mind should be filtered with the 360 anti-virus software. Too much bad information will pollute the environment. " Lin Xiao Ai leaned close to Liu Xu's face and let out a deep breath, smoking the Liu Xu for a long distance.

"You can't drink, yet you're holding on." Liu Xu helped Xiao Ai cook a bowl of vinegar soup and also made some tea. Lin Xiao Ai hugged Liu Xu and said, "You're really great to have gone extinct."

"Don't misunderstand, I'm afraid the smell of alcohol will disfigure my face." Liu Xu took a hot towel and applied it to her face, letting her sleeping pores breathe in the fresh air.

Isn't it a gathering? That damn fatty actually came to our company to force me out of the mountain by impersonating my fiance. Today, my reputation has been tarnished. In the future, I won't be able to stay in the ranks of the bachelors. I'll probably have to stand in the middle of a pile of abandoned noblewomen. "But I don't look like a lady. I'm a broken woman, a broken woman.

"Oh my god, Little Ai, just that big fat guy? "It's so ugly. If Jay ever gets fat like that, I won't listen to his songs again." Xuanxuan's aesthetic beauty has always belonged to the type of slender and suave man with slender arms and thin legs.

The night ended with the three women talking, but no one could tell under the night sky that one of the men in the conversation was having a hard time sleeping.
