strange i love you

Chapter 7 The house is not a snail shell (1)
From: Grapefruit

I've been too busy these days, and I've been overwhelmed by a project.I haven't logged in for a long time. I found so many people leaving me messages when I went online. Thank you for your concern. I'm fine. I just had a fight with my boyfriend. I forgot to make a date with him because I was too busy at work.I'm taking a break at noon now, and I'm going to make a proposal in a while.I feel a little annoyed. My boyfriend and I have been in love since college and have been renting a house after graduation. A few days ago, he suddenly proposed to buy a house, but we have no savings at all. We opened it in our house, but the house we rented was narrow and old, so it’s really unnecessary if it’s just for the sake of face.But after thinking about it, we are all rushing to get married, and buying a house is just the difference between earlier and later.But we really don't have much money in our hands, and our parents are very ordinary working class. Do you think I should agree to him to pay for a house first?

Bobo: Just to buy a house for a class reunion?Landlord, your boyfriend is brain-dead, so don't follow the brain-dead!
Maori Little Five Wolf: It's better to wait, how can you buy a house without deposits!
Lily: Actually, it’s okay to pay a down payment first, anyway, don’t you have to pay for renting a house?

Lin Youxi and Wu Feier went to make a proposal. They clearly agreed that one person would take the laptop and the other the projector, but Wu Feier quarreled and softened when they got out of the elevator. In the end, Lin Youxi carried everything alone.Although Wu Fei'er did not contribute at all to the planning, her driving skills were very good, and it was only at this time that Lin Youxi felt Wu Fei'er's usefulness from the bottom of her heart.

The proposal was arranged in a large conference room of the other company. Before Lin Youxi went in, she was beating drums in her heart. It was impossible not to be nervous. This was her first time leading a proposal. In the past, she always followed the director and took notes by herself. and so on.As soon as she entered, her eyes were attracted by the modern woman in a smart dress opposite.Long hair, big waves, and delicate makeup, a woman's intuition told Lin Youxi that she was Tang Mengran.

Sure enough, when they made a proposal, the other party introduced himself. Tang Mengran spoke standard Mandarin with a bit of softness unique to the south, which actually sounded very nice.Tang Mengran speaks in an orderly manner, with clear logic and no flaws, and his creativity is brilliant.Lin Youxi couldn't help but get more nervous, the odds of winning are too small, but when Tang Mengran analyzed the brand's public relations and future development strategies, Lin Youxi immediately noticed their shortcomings.It seems that this is their weakness, Lin Youxi couldn't help but thank Zheng Taolai from the bottom of her heart, fortunately he had done his homework beforehand, otherwise this war would have gone home without a fight.

After Tang Mengran finished speaking, Lin Youxi took out her laptop. She was a little nervous, coughed a few times pretending to be calm, and then began to speak about her proposal.Her speech was not as fluent as Tang Mengran's, but she expressed all the meaning in place. When it came to the brand's public relations, she deliberately said more. Seeing that Party A nodded in agreement, the big stone in her heart fell slightly. .

After the speech, everyone applauded.Lin Youxi's gaze was exactly the same as Tang Mengran's, and she saw Tang Mengran smiled at herself, which was quite friendly.But when the final result came out, Lin Youxi was still a little surprised.

"Our company has decided to let Director Tang's team handle this project." The person in charge said, turning to Lin Youxi, "Thank you Lin Youxi for your efforts on our project, we also feel sorry for not being able to cooperate this time, hope Next time we have the opportunity to work together.”

Lin Youxi froze for a moment, but didn't greet her and shook her hand.She asked: "Why choose theirs? Our proposal is very well done."

Wu Fei'er poked her with her arm, pulled her behind, and said to the person in charge with a smile on her face: "Okay, we will definitely cooperate again next time we have a chance."

Wu Fei'er pulled Lin Youxi out, reprimanded her: "Your reaction just now was too out of character, do you want to fight with the other party!"

"But in that case we clearly—"

"You have been working for several years, why do you still look like you are not experienced in the world." Wu Fei'er rolled her eyes and pressed the elevator button, "Your and Tang Mengran's proposals can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye to be evenly matched, and each has its own advantages But as for why they chose Tang Mengran and not you, there must be their reasons, why should you go into it? Isn’t it just that you didn’t get the project, anyway, the company doesn’t lack this project.”

When the elevator came, Wu Fei'er walked in first, turned around to close the door, only to see Lin Youxi standing outside without moving.

Just as Wu Fei'er was about to call her, Lin Youxi's face darkened: "Of course you don't care about anything. Your uncle is a high-level executive in the company and you have a solid job. Have you put any effort into this project?" ?Of course you can say nonchalantly that it’s just a project, if it’s gone, it’s gone. But I’ve been up all night to make this, and I’m still waiting for the money to buy a house. What do you know? You’re what You don't know, you don't have to worry about anything, Missy!" After Lin Youxi finished speaking in one breath, she stepped on her ill-fitting high-heeled shoes and walked towards the safe passage.

She was really annoyed that her boyfriend asked to buy a house out of nowhere, and there were a lot of things at work waiting to be dealt with by herself, but her salary had not risen for a long time.I finally came across a project that could get a 5.00% commission, but missed it.Lin Youxi can't figure it out. For more than 20 years, she has been a kind-hearted person and conscientiously. She never hesitates to pick up money on the road. The old people always give up their seats on the bus. Every time floods, earthquakes, and natural disasters are reported on TV, they will actively donate old clothes.Didn't they say that good people have good rewards? Although these things have nothing to do with my work, is karma really just a talk?

Lin Youxi went down the stairs halfway and couldn't go on, tears kept streaming, she felt aggrieved, and felt that God was treating her unfairly.It's really unfair, why in this world good girls only get the word "good", but bad girls get the world!

While sobbing, she squatted in the aisle, ignoring the fact that her face was still wearing the makeup that she put on carefully before going out in the morning, she wiped it off with her hands, and continued to cry.This is really like a child whose candy was taken away by an adult.Lin Youxi cried so seriously that she didn't realize the sound of footsteps behind her.

"That." Seeing Lin Youxi who was sitting on the steps, the people behind her became embarrassed, their voice paused in the air, "Miss, are you alright?"

When Lin Youxi heard someone talking, she immediately buried her head and wiped her face on her clothes. She didn't dare to turn her head to look. She stood up and lowered her head and said, "Sorry, it's blocking the way."

As a result, a tissue was stretched out in front of him, and the other party's voice was quite gentle: "Wipe it, did you get scolded by your boss? It's just a job, the important thing is to have fun."

Lin Youxi took the tissue, raised her head and said "thank you" to the other party, and was startled when she saw the other party's face clearly. It was a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, in his 30s, with a gentle expression on his face. He looked at himself with a smile.

"I haven't seen you before, are you new here?" The other party thought Lin Youxi was an employee of the company, "Don't cry, people will inevitably encounter unhappy things, just go and have a good meal."

After the other party finished speaking, he bypassed Lin Youxi and continued downstairs, leaving Lin Youxi standing alone with the tissue he gave her in his hand, and it took a long time before he recovered.Lin Youxi was not a nympho, but was infected by such a warm smile.Although you don't know him well about some people, you can be moved by his insignificant smile.Lin Youxi went to the company's bathroom to wash her face, reapplied her makeup, took out her mobile phone and saw Wu Xiner calling herself several times.She must have driven the car away angrily, thinking of this, Lin Youxi felt a little relieved.

Lin Youxi has a mentality of breaking the pot and falling, and doesn't care about whether to continue to work later. Walking in the warm autumn sunshine, her mood becomes lazy, and she doesn't want to bother with the usual annoying problems think.Because it was a working day, there were not as many people on the street as usual, most of them were students from the nearby university town.Lin Youxi didn't remember how long she hadn't been shopping. She used to be dragged to the street by her roommates whenever she didn't have classes in college.The cost of living in college is not much, so shopping is really "shopping".Looking at the dazzling array of clothes in the window, which showed good material and lines on the models, Lin Youxi would also stop and stare blankly.After graduation, he started to make money, and his salary was not much, but his desire for clothes seemed not as strong as before.After all, I'm busy every day, so I don't have time to go out for a stroll, and Qin Zhihao and Qin Zhihao go out on weekends just to browse the hypermarket to see if there are any discounted products. Toilet paper, laundry detergent, and discounted vegetables and fruits occupy Lin Youxi's life. Bit by bit, how long has it been since she bought a dress for herself?

By accident, Lin Youxi turned into a nearby store, which had new autumn items, all of which were new in the season.When the shopping guide finally saw a customer coming to the door, he immediately gathered around to introduce it. Lin Youxi saw a houndstooth coat, and the shopping guide quickly took it off for her to try on.Lin Youxi still had a laptop and a projector in her hand, and the shopping guide graciously took them for her and said, "Go in and try on clothes, and I'll keep these things for you."

After trying it out and standing in front of the mirror, the clothes fit unexpectedly, making Lin Youxi look a bit more capable.

"This dress looks really good on you. It's a new product that just arrived yesterday." The shopping guide was chattering away. Seeing Lin Youxi hesitate, he said, "This dress is selling very well, and the stock is running out. .If you like it, you must start early."

When she was changing clothes in the fitting room just now, Lin Youxi flipped through the tag of the clothes, and she felt cold when she saw that the price was more than 1000. This figure of more than 1000 was not within her budget at all.Thinking of the more than 800 yuan shirt she bought for Zheng Tao last time, she thought it was too expensive, let alone this one.

"Forget it, I don't want it." Lin Youxi said shyly, "I don't particularly like it."

Although I didn't buy anything, I seemed to feel much better.Lin Youxi didn't buy clothes, so Lin Youxi could go to eat a dessert to reward herself. She was really tired during this time, didn't sleep well or eat well, and her skin became very bad.Lin Youxi looked at the time on her phone, it was past four o'clock, and she would be off work in less than an hour.Does not go to the company in the afternoon count as absenteeism?or what?

Have you ever had such a moment when your life is clearly stretched, water and electricity bills, rent, living expenses, a lot of expenses are waiting for you to pay, a lot of work matters are waiting for you to deal with, and your life is in a mess, But there is a moment when you decide to escape from the current situation completely and want to enjoy the present, even if you only have 200 yuan on you, if you use it up today, you can only drink northwest wind tomorrow.But you still choose to spend all the money and buy yourself a delicious cake, or go to a movie and eat a meal.Then I thought to myself, let's go to hell tomorrow, let's all go to death.

Lin Youxi's situation is like this now. After she came out after eating dessert, she went straight back to the store just now, and said to the clerk in an unstoppable tone: "I want that dress just now."

When I returned home with my clothes pockets in my arms, the house was deserted and deserted.Lin Youxi spent all her living expenses for this month.She sat down on the sofa, staring at the floor in a daze, thinking about how she would tell Qin Zhihao that she spent a month's living expenses on buying a new overcoat.

After watching TV for a while, seeing that Qin Zhihao hadn't come back, Lin Youxi went to the kitchen to cook noodles and ate them.Lin Youxi worriedly called him, but no one answered, she began to feel a little worried, did she go out to drink with her colleagues again?

Lying on the sofa, it wasn't until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night that I heard the sound of the door lock rattling in a daze.Lin Youxi opened her eyes and walked out of the bedroom. The light in the living room was on, and Qin Zhihao was sitting on the sofa with a sleepy look.

"You're back?" Lin Youxi came out wearing a coat, and couldn't help yawning.The two seldom spoke after the last quarrel, and she felt a little guilty, especially when she saw Qin Zhihao's tired face, "Have you eaten yet? If you're hungry, I'll cook something for you."

Qin Zhihao didn't speak.

Lin Youxi sat beside him, took an apple and peeled it.

"Don't cut it, I can't eat it..." Qin Zhihao's voice was low and hoarse, a little scary.

"what happened?"

"..." After a brief silence, Qin Zhihao lowered his head and slapped his face with his hands twice, and then his voice seemed to come from a distant country, "I was fired."
