Rebirth declares war on the honest

Chapter 230 224. The Power of Effort

Most of Gu Yun's earliest impressions of Seattle came from the classic love story "Sleepless in Seattle".

The houseboat floating on Lake Union is painted in the bright colors of the flower generation. Tom Hanks stands on the terrace, his melancholy and yearning figure intertwined with Meg Ryan's eyes during the rainy season in Seattle.

That kind of destiny.

When they arrived at the downstairs of the hotel, Cheng Yingying turned to look at Gu Yun: "Mr. Gu, do you want to eat in the hotel restaurant or go out?"

"Go out, everyone will have to eat in the restaurant when they wake up."

This is the first time I came to Seattle, Gu Yun also wanted to go out for a stroll.

Cheng Yingying lowered her head and looked at the memo she had prepared on her phone. Three minutes later, Uber arrived at the entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel.

“Pike Place Market.”

The two got off at Pike Market, the earliest farmers market in the United States with a history of 110 years.

Upon entering the market, ocean-like flowers, all kinds of vegetables, all kinds of seafood, and all kinds of eccentric small commodities appeared in the eyes, and Cheng Yingying introduced them to Gu Yun along the way.

"The front is a place that sells all kinds of seafood, these are fathead fish, salmon, halibut."

"How do you know everything?"

Seeing Cheng Yingying talking eloquently, Gu Yun was suddenly a little curious.

Even if you do your homework, it's not so detailed, right?

Pike Place Market was full of people in the afternoon, Cheng Yingying touched the scallop at hand, the sunlight slipped in through the gap of the old ceiling, and shone on the girl's red face.

She pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm a girl who grew up in a small fishing village in southern Fujian. I saw my mother raise seaweed and pick up shells when I was young. I'm used to dealing with them, so of course I know her."

She is used to seeing the sea as endless and ever-changing. Growing up in such a place, she knows her own insignificance too well.

Tested from the fishing village, on a larger scale of time and space, people's choices and encounters will be diluted.

In her original life plan, if she saved enough living expenses to go abroad during college, maybe she would be able to go to Seattle to visit the oldest and most famous market in the United States during her vacation if she received a full scholarship offer.

Fate drew a circle for the girl, and she gave up her dream of going abroad, and came here again after going around, this place she had been thinking about.

"Mr. Gu, shall we try this?"

Just passing by the famous "Flying Fish Show" stall, Cheng Yingying sorted out the flood of memories, pointed to the smoked wild salmon in front of her, and said to Gu Yun.

"it is good."

The two packed a bag of local specialty salmon and ate while walking. They came to the first Starbucks opened in 1912 and took two commemorative mugs with them.

At the end of the market, I tasted the delicious Russian strudel, and finally walked into a soup shop on the corner.

"It is said that this is the best seafood soup in the world!"

Cheng Yingying took two bowls of soup and walked to the outdoor seat, and sat down face to face with Gu Yun.

Seattle is a gentle city.

The climate is neither too cold nor too hot, and the highest temperature in midsummer is only in the early 30s, which is why Cheng Yingying is willing to sit in the middle of the road with Gu Yun after only applying a light layer of sunscreen.

Gu Yun took a sip of the clam chowder lightly, and the thick cheese aroma and seafood flavor were intertwined, pouring into every taste bud on the tip of the tongue.

His eyes widened.

"Yummy! You do have something."

Gu Yun's throat groaned, and a trace of warmth rolled over his limbs.

Cheng Yingying didn't reply, just giggled.

He suddenly found that Cheng Yingying, who was sitting across from her, seemed to enjoy his compliment very much. When she smiled, she would show her neat white teeth, and her eyes would bend into lovely crescents.

"I transferred you to work in Pinyuan, are you still used to it?"

Along the way, Gu Yun didn't know how many times he praised Cheng Yingying, but finally he couldn't help but speak.

"Very good, Mr. Huang's work pace is very fast, and I have learned a lot in Pinyuan."

After taking a sip of the seafood soup, Cheng Yingying tucked her hair behind her ears in the sun, revealing the delicate curve of her jaw.

On the streets of the center, the sound of musicians playing violins came.

The two didn't continue to chat about work. After dinner, they walked straight to the end of the market. In front of them was the huge cruise ship moored in the port and the incomparably blue Pacific Ocean.

The wind at the beach is stronger than that of the main road. Standing on the beach, Cheng Yingying stretched out her arms, closed her eyes gently, and felt the smell of the sea in every cell in her body.

The girl who also grew up by the sea suddenly felt homesick.

"Before coming here, Huang Zheng told me that it's okay to transfer you to go on a business trip, but you must be given a few days off, saying that you work until the early hours of the morning every day."

Gu Yun narrowed his eyes and looked at the girl whose bangs were blown away by the sea breeze, "Why are you working so hard?"

"Because... I don't believe it."

Cheng Yingying took off her shoes, walked deep into the beach, and picked up a shell.

"Do you know why I know so much common sense in life? This is a compulsory course I have survived since I was a child. Why do I have to ask the boss for the size when buying clothes at a street stall? Because clothes with incomplete sizes are easy to bargain."

"I have lived for 22 years, and I have only eaten red-heart dragon fruit once, because the red-heart dragon fruit costs two yuan a catty more than the white-heart one."

"From junior high school to college graduation, many boys have chased me, but I have never been in love. Guess why?"

Gu Yun was stunned.

He thought that Cheng Yingying's native family might not be very rich, but he didn't expect it to be so embarrassing.

The precocious Cheng Yingying has already realized how strongly family background affects a person. She knows that in the game of life, she has no chance of winning from all dimensions.

But she lived on, a little disappointed and kept trying.

Part-time job, save money, fail, save money, review, postgraduate entrance examination, fail, interview, work.

"For a long time, I commute to and from get off work normally every day. While completing my job, I have to take a lunch break to supplement relevant knowledge in the industry. Because of the tight schedule, I often don't even have time to eat lunch."

Recalling that time, Cheng Yingying submerged half of her feet in the beach, feeling the cold sea, and laughed again.

Just like that, slowly, the sky seemed to be getting brighter.

Through her own efforts, her salary has risen higher and higher, and her work has become more and more convenient. Gradually, she also has a lot.

"I don't believe that destiny is a movement that has been written long ago. I don't believe that I have worked hard all my life but get nothing. I don't believe that there is still a mountain beyond the mountain. I don't believe that there are really so many you know who in the magical world."

In Cheng Yingying's eyes, there seemed to be a long-lasting and eternal light. She looked at Gu Yun with great firmness.

A sea wave came over, half of the girl's calf was wet by sea water, a few grains of sand remained on it, and the color of the sand made her skin extremely white.

It was the first time in two lifetimes that Gu Yun was deeply shocked by the power of the girl around him.

To be honest, even in the era when everyone in the later generations shouted to lie down, how many people really accepted their fate?
Each of us, at heart, is actually a Gryffindor child. We think that the rarest quality is bravery, and the essence of bravery lies in "disbelief".

The hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage, and how fortunate it is to live a life so bravely.

"Okay, I don't have to deal with the boss badly, I'm fine now."

Cheng Yingying laughed quite proudly, "I have a soft bed, a cute cat, and an eave that can shelter me from the wind and rain."

Perhaps these things are insignificant in the eyes of many people. After all, in the world of their class, these things are born and are not worth mentioning. It is Cheng Yingying who has worked hard for many, many years before finally getting the admission ticket. Hold it tightly in your hand.

She always believes in the power of hard work, and this time, once she gets it, she won't let it go.

The girl waved at Gu Yun, and walked into the depths of the beach with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

The cold seawater submerged her thighs, she summoned up all her courage, faced the sea, and yelled that sentence again, just like learning Zhou Xingchi's movements in front of a black and white TV when she was young.

"Work hard!"

Time flies, and Cheng Yingying, who has grown up, still does not change her original aspirations, smiling at all injustices and difficulties.
