Reboot 2003

Chapter 25 025: Waiting

What happened after that seemed like a dream.

The time seems to have returned to that night half a month ago - because she heard her father talking to others and knew what happened at home, she went to the park alone to cry, but was picked up by Chen Qin who was passing by, and went to the airship.

At that time, she seemed a little nervous. Although nothing happened afterwards, the memory of that time was generally not a good experience.

And this time I went to the airship, nearly half a month had passed, the Internet cafe was a little deserted, she followed closely behind Chen Qin, listening to Chen Qin chatting with the big sister at the counter familiarly——

"Sister, have there been fewer people recently? Has SARS affected you a lot?"

"No, you must have admitted it wrong, I have never been to your place, how could I be arrested by my parents."

"I'm rich! I want to open a box, hurry up, Lingling and I just watch cartoons and do nothing else."

……

Xu Lingling held his hand tightly, followed behind Chen Qin, and entered the familiar box.

Chen Qin skillfully turned on the computer, and people came and went in the Internet cafe, and all they saw were chatting, watching movies, and playing games, but Xu Lingling seemed to have a sense of mission, standing nervously by the side, watching Chen Qin open those windows that she couldn't understand.

Will this work?Said it could help Dad...

At this moment, she was thinking this way, watching Chen Qin typing on the keyboard confidently, the time passed little by little, and every time someone came in and out of the box, Xu Lingling nervously leaned against Chen Qin.

"Chen Qin, this way you can...that..."

"Oh yes, I almost forgot." Chen Qin then remembered the business, "Just now a traffic owner asked me for an advertisement, saying that business is not doing well now, but this matter is actually quite interesting...Forget it, let's not talk about it for now."

Chen Qin opened a form: "You write this, mainly about your father's work experience or something."

Xu Lingling silently read the words above: "Job hunting..."

"CV."

It was indeed a blank resume template. Chen Qin typed his name on it, and then jumped off his chair: "Hurry up and write this, I'll make a call."

Said Chen Qin ran out, the door of the box was the counter, and his voice came from there.

"Hello, hello, Manager Chu?"

"I'm from a headhunting company. Santiago introduced me to you!"

"I heard that your business has expanded recently. When you arrive in Pengcheng, it seems that you are recruiting people?"

"That's right, we're from Yangcheng, because of the recent epidemic, we plan to expand the case of Pengcheng, such as the sales you mentioned."

"The sales are gone, all right. Oh, you said there is a screwdriver? I'll help you pay attention to this later."

"What? You said urgently recruit someone who understands foreign languages?"

"You've found the right person. I happen to have one here. I'll send you the information right away. Since it's urgent, I'll send you an electronic version!..."

Chen Qin went out in a hurry, made several phone calls, and came back in a hurry.

After returning, Xu Lingling had already written a little bit, but Chen Qin looked at it and said no, and changed a lot of things randomly.

At this moment, Xu Lingling vaguely had some kind of wonderful anticipation, as if these things could really play some magical and incomprehensible effects. However, after that, Chen Qin seemed to have returned to the way he used to be. He was doing the same things on the computer as usual. When the time came, he took Xu Lingling off the plane again...

In this way, what seemed to be just a small wave in the corner of the vast ocean rose and calmed down, and finally returned to normal.

On the way back, Chen Qin took Xu Lingling to wash her face and bought two small hairpins. Before taking her home, Xu Lingling grabbed his hand nervously, but Chen Qin offered to propose: "Today's matter is our secret, don't tell others."

After a while, when I returned to Xu Lingling's house, the food on the table was already cold.

After entering the door, the old man came back from the balcony. Chen Qin took the initiative to say: "Grandma Xu, Xu Lingling wants to go shopping today, so she came home a little late. When I go out, can Teacher Xiaomeng call?"

After the phone call, Teacher Xiaomeng was relieved. Grandma Xu asked Chen Qin to stay for dinner. Chen Qin said that he was afraid that his family would worry, so he went home first.

After that, at the cold dining table, the old and the other finished today's dinner with a snack.

And as the night fell, the old man hugged her and comforted her by saying that mom and dad would definitely come back. Of course Xu Lingling wouldn't believe such words anymore. She took the initiative to tell grandma that dad was going to make a lot of money...

However, the old man uncontrollably scolded the ungrateful woman and his disobedient silly son. Xu Lingling comforted her and said that her father was fine, but the old man seemed unwilling to believe it, and seemed a little agitated, with his chest heaving violently.

Xu Lingling remembered Chen Qin's previous explanation, and did not dare to continue. Instead, she took out the issuing card she bought earlier: "Grandma, this is for you!"

"You kid..."

The old man sighed, but just put away the hairpin, and went to sit next to the telephone at home, like a withering tree.

At this moment, the cold room seemed to have entered the rainy season ahead of time. Xu Lingling went back to her bedroom, looked at the laptop on the table, and thought that Chen Qin might not be coming back tonight. She was a little disappointed and vaguely at a loss. She wrote some homework by herself, and then it was time to go to bed.

Before going to bed, the old man was still sitting by the phone and asked her to go to bed by herself.

Xu Lingling went back to her bedroom and turned off the light.

Looking at the ceiling with the wallpaper of stars in front of her eyes, her father's back when she left yesterday, and what Chen Qin said in the phone booth just now, she didn't know what it meant, but she felt that Chen Qin seemed to be very confident, and she also had confidence, but... would it really work?
Thinking of this, Xu Lingling closed her eyes, but at this moment, the phone at home rang, and a low voice came in through the bedroom door.

The sound of the phone seemed to last for a while and then ended.

However, after a while, the door of the bedroom was opened, and the old man came to the bed without turning on the light.

"Lingling, can you sleep?"

Xu Lingling didn't know how to answer. The old man came to the bed and said softly: "Your father just called and said that he wants to work hard in Pengcheng and found a job! Don't worry anymore, go to sleep!"

Saying so, she stretched out her hand to hug Xu Lingling, patted her head, and touched the girl's smooth forehead with her dry but slightly moist side face. After a long time, she tremblingly walked out of the room, closed the door gently, and went back to her room to rest.
