Phoenix and Legend

Chapter 66 Lost
The weather in April, hot and cold at the same time, is very confusing, but there is a kind of clarity and tranquility revealed in the confusion.

Meng Lanlan, the team leader of the Orchid Commercial Building Supermarket, was promoted to the deputy manager of the supermarket because of her excellent work, and the position of team leader was also temporarily vacant.

One day, after getting off work at noon, Meng Lanlan came to the parking lot and was about to drive home when she heard someone calling her name. When she turned around, her eyes lit up: "Hello, Jinlin."

"Hello, Lan Lan, it's been a long time! Where do you work now, old classmate?"

"I'm in the Lanhua Commercial Building." Meng Lanlan said with a smile.

When Jin Lin heard it, he smiled and asked, "I often go shopping there, but why have I never seen you?"

"Oh, I'm out and about a lot, and I'm rarely at the front desk."

"So it is."

"Jinlin, what do you do now?"

"I used to leave my job without pay to 'go overseas' to do business for six years, and now I am back to work in the unit."

Meng Lanlan praised: "Old classmate, it seems that you have a successful career!"

Jinlin looked at Meng Lanlan expectantly and said, "Lanlan, there is something I would like to ask you to do."

Meng Lanlan said bluntly, "Jinlin, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"You and Lin Caining must be very familiar, right?" Jin Lin asked affectionately.

"Of course I'm familiar with her. She's an excellent employee in our Shangxia supermarket. I found that you have many similarities in personality. Don't you like her?"

Jinlin said affectionately: "I love her very much. We had a deep relationship some time ago. At first we started to admire each other and we got along very well. But then there was a conflict between me and Caining due to a misunderstanding. Now We broke up, I want you to work with Caining again and tell her that I still love her without regret."

When Meng Lanlan heard this, she was moved and asked:

"You want to get back together with Caining?"

"Yes."

"Seeing that you are so sincere, I am willing to help you with this favor."

"Then thank you old classmate!"

……

The next morning, the manager of the supermarket asked Meng Lanlan, "You are very familiar with every employee in the supermarket and know the most. Who do you think is the most suitable team leader?"

Meng Lanlan said without hesitation: "Of course it's Lin Caining." The manager said a little unhappy when he heard that:
"It's her, but you know what happened last year. She has no sense of responsibility. If it weren't for her hard work, I would have fired her a long time ago."

Meng Lanlan argued for Caining with a smile and said: "It is because she is usually diligent, kind-hearted, and willing to help others that I recommend her. I don't think you should always pay attention to what happened last time. She will definitely not make the same mistake again. , not to mention that she cherishes this job very much."

The manager asked rather puzzled: "Could it be that only Lin Caining can be the team leader, and there are more than [-] employees, so they are not suitable?"

Meng Lanlan replied matter-of-factly: "Although the other employees are excellent, they lack the noble appeal of Caining. Four years ago, when Caining had just started working, Rong Meining, a salesman from the cosmetics department, was presenting to Caining When selling cosmetics, due to negligence, the whole box of cosmetics fell on the ground. In order not to leave a shadow on Mei Ning’s work, Cai Ning took the initiative to take full responsibility. Seeing Mei Ning's frightened look, I didn't say anything. This incident reflects that Cai Ning has a noble character, and Cai Ning is the team leader, and others will definitely be convinced."

But the manager still couldn't forgive Caining for leaving the job, so he said: "Lan Lan, I think so, the team leader, you can act as an agent for a while, except for Lin Caining, let's take a closer look at the other employees to see who is suitable."

"However, Cai Ning may have something to hide, and she can't help herself." Meng Lanlan tried her best to fight for Cai Ning again.

"No matter how hard it is to hide, you must be serious and responsible for your work. Well, don't mention Lin Caining's matter again." The manager said angrily.

After Meng Lanlan walked out of the manager's office, she felt very complicated. She felt very sorry that Caining could not be the team leader of the supermarket.She came to the supermarket on the first floor, found Caining and said, "Come to my office after get off work later, I have something to talk to you about."

Caining looked at this big sister who was four years older than herself and smiled and said, "Okay."

After Meng Lanlan left, Caining's eyes were filled with worry, thinking, she hadn't done anything wrong these days, was it because she lowered her head and meditated every day?But to the customers, she was smiling all over her face without any emotion. What's wrong with Sister Lan Lan?
After getting off work, Caining came to Meng Lanlan's office with a feeling of apprehension, and said with a smile:

"Hello, Miss Lan Lan, what can I do for you?"

Meng Lanlan smiled and said, "Caining, sit down." While speaking, she poured a glass of water for Caining and brought it in front of her.

Cai Ning took the water glass very politely and said:

"Thank you, Miss Lan Lan."

"Caining, there is one thing that I have never understood. Last year when you were in a hurry to go out at work, what happened?" Meng Lanlan asked tactfully.

When Cai Ning heard this, her eyes were filled with worry, and she thought, how should I answer?Things are so complicated, it's not easy for Sister Lan Lan to understand.

Seeing Caining bowed her head in silence, Meng Lanlan didn't want to ask any more questions, so she asked gently, "Caining, what's on your mind recently?"

Caining raised her head and said, "Oh, sister Lan Lan, I don't have anything on my mind."

"I heard that you have been divorced for a long time. I would like to introduce you to a friend. What do you think? He is my middle school classmate. He is kind-hearted like you. I think you are very suitable." Meng Lanlan wanted to try the color first. Ning's mind.

After hearing this, Cai Ning tried her best to decline and said, "Oh, Sister Lan Lan, I'm sorry, but I already have someone I like."

Meng Lanlan felt very regretful when she heard this, and said with a forced smile: "Actually, you both knew him before, you may have misunderstood him, we met by chance yesterday, and from his melancholy and persistent eyes, I can see how much he misses you so much. , I was also very touched at the time..."

At this time, "Dinglingling" a rush of phone calls stopped Meng Lanlan's conversation.After answering the phone, she said, "Caining, go home first, the manager has something urgent to do with me."

"Okay, goodbye, sister Lan Lan."

After Caining walked out of Meng Lanlan's office, she was full of joy, thinking as she walked, isn't the person Lanlan is referring to Jinlin, he is still waiting for me so persistently, it turns out that true love and reality are not contradictory, The reality is the spread of legends and beauty. Jinlin treats me with sincerity and persistence that are not stained with dust. This sincerity and persistence are enough to resolve all the contradictions in my heart. Why was I so stubborn and unsatisfactory before, as if obsessed? She rejected him like a demon, but fortunately, she was able to get Jinlin's tolerance and understanding.

Thinking of this, Caining suddenly became enlightened, and all the contradictions of autumn thoughts and worries turned into a smooth stream. She felt very sweet and relaxed, like a canary that was dull in a cage and finally flew to the sky. Looking out of the window happily, it turns out that the misty sky cannot block the brilliance of the sun. At this moment, she feels that she is

Ji today is like meeting Jinlin for the first time, everything is no longer entangled.

However, she thought again: Did she misunderstand when she told Sister Lan Lan that she had someone she liked just now?Or wait for her in the corridor and explain clearly to her.

While waiting in the corridor, Caining rekindled light and hope in her heart: Jinlin, I am so happy now, I feel so relaxed and happy, because I finally woke up, the me who was lost in the world of selfishness and inferiority finally found the exit, We can finally come together, now, when I think about marrying you, I feel extremely happy and lucky, and I can finally get rid of the flashy sixth sense in my imagination, Jinlin, thank you for your firmness and sincerity.

Ten minutes later, Caining's cell phone rang. She saw that it was the manager of the supermarket who called. The manager asked Caining to go to his office immediately.

Caining came to the manager's room, and Meng Lanlan was also sitting there with a smile on her face.

The manager said to Cai Ning earnestly: "Comrade Meng Lanlan will go to the Baisheng Shopping Plaza in the city for training tomorrow. According to the needs of the work and after repeated discussions, you will be the team leader of the supermarket and mainly responsible for the front desk. Ask for leave first, and then do it after handing over the shift, you must remember."

After hearing this, Caining was both happy and worried, so she said modestly: "But I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

Meng Lanlan smiled and encouraged: "Caining, don't refuse any more, and be more responsible and work hard in the future!"

"Yes, I will!" Cai Ning said firmly.

"Okay, go ahead and take office tomorrow." The manager said kindly to Caining.

Caining left the manager's office, feeling very satisfied with her promotion, but also regretting the last time she "dropped" off the supermarket and went out privately, Caining didn't continue to wait for Meng Lanlan, but went home with self-blame .

After Meng Lanlan got home from get off work at noon, she immediately called Jinlin:
"Jin Lin, I talked to Cai Ning in the morning, but she said firmly that she already has someone she loves, and I think you should stop being persistent. You can't find anything with such superior conditions. I advise you to find another fragrant grass as soon as possible!"

"Oh, that's right, thank you Lan Lan..."

Jinlin hangs up the phone, feeling extremely disappointed, with a heavy heart: It turns out that Cai Ning already has her own heart, no wonder no matter what I do, Cai Ning is not moved by it, she just can't accept being together with me, maybe there is no relationship between us at all. There is no sixth sense, Caining, you are too kind, you don't love me, you don't reject me, let me always be filled with hopeful fantasies.

Jin Lin saw the wooden comb that Cai Ning gave him again, feeling very sad, and gradually lost his way in his heart: Cai Ning, it seems that we have no chance to get together in this life, our legend is just an illusory world, In reality, we don’t have any fate to speak of, as if we are acting in a play, and you and I are the hero and heroine in the play, with admiring eyes, admiring language, and enviable dialogue, But when the show ended, it turned out that we all have our own homes.Caining, you can find a happy home, I feel happy for you, I hope you can think of me occasionally, it can be regarded as a beautiful memory in your world, but in the legend of my true love world, whether it is illusory or real , I still love you sincerely, forever and ever!Because in my heart you will always be that "pure as orchid" woman.

At noon the next day, Jiao Yangli found out that Li Qian came to Xu Qing's office with a magazine in her hand, smiling:
"Sister Xu Qing, congratulations on being on the cover of the book "Blue Ocean Business World"."

"Li Qian, show me quickly."

Xu Qing happily held "Blue Ocean Business World" in her hand, admiring her demeanor enviously, and said cheerfully: "This is the real me."

"Sister Xu Qing, your style is enough to make the sky of Wutong County red."

As for Li Qian's extremely exaggerated compliment, which contained the meaning of repaying gratitude, Xu Qing accepted it without humility: "Li Qian, thank you for your compliment."

Li Qian continued to praise incomprehensibly: "Sister Xu Qing, this issue of the magazine is a best-seller, and the readers are all here to buy you, ah! No, it is to buy your magazine, not to buy you in the magazine, not to mention you." Exactly, to buy your beautiful photo..."

"Okay, Li Qian, I'm off work now, I invite you to have lunch at Sister Pan Yi's cafeteria."

"Thank you, the heroine of the April issue of "Blue Ocean Business"."

"Li Qian, you are finally right."
