In the noisy big city, steel and concrete stands in the center of the city like a giant beast. The sky is pouring with rain, which happens to be working time. When the office workers go out without umbrellas, they can only run on the road under the rain. When they see the eaves, they go to avoid it. rain.
But the boss doesn't care if it's difficult for them to travel, whether they can get a car, Zheng Chen was only half an hour late when he arrived at the company, he was drenched, no part of his body was dry, even his underwear was wet affixed to the body.
"I'm half an hour late today, and I'll have to deduct two hundred." Personnel shouted at Zheng Chen.
Zheng Chen also didn't dare to tell the difference - he graduated this year and found this barely decent job with great difficulty, and he didn't dare to argue with the old employees for fear of being fired.
After all, he hasn't become a full-time employee yet, and he hasn't signed a contract. If he is told to leave, he won't get a penny of compensation.
His family background is not good either, he was born in a small backward county, and it was only after he went to college that he realized for the first time that the society had really developed like this, and he was unwilling to go back to Anyang County no matter what!
Even begging in a big city!He doesn't go back either!
His parents are both farmers, living on the edge of Anyang County, guarding the land that can only fill their stomachs, and finally confessed him, especially because he was studying in a private secondary school, and the tuition fee was much higher than that of a public school , So when he went to college, he really emptied all the family savings.
Zheng Chen made up his mind to get ahead and take root here, buy a car and a house, and then bring his parents over so that they can enjoy the blessings of a son, so that their years of hard work will not be in vain.
So he finally found this job, even though the salary during the probationary period was only [-], he gritted his teeth and agreed.
Anyway, this is a company with more than [-] employees, which is considered big among the companies where graduates work in the same period.
Zheng Chen has always kept in mind the words of the university counselors, even if the salary is lower, he must give priority to entering a large company. Only when you are in a large company can you receive a big project, deal with more people, and get in touch with better connections.
In this way, even if you want to change jobs in the future, you will have a lot more choices. Whether you want to jump to a large company or a small company, someone will want you.
Just because of his memory, Zheng Chen is always subservient here, he will do whatever the old employees ask him to do, and after only two months since he came here, all the chores in the company that do not belong to the cleaning aunt have become his work.
On the contrary, there is not much contact with professional work.
He is like a brick, which can be moved wherever it is needed, but a brick is a brick, not made of gold, and can be thrown away when others use it up.
As soon as he sat down at his desk, the colleague beside Zheng Chen said to Zheng Chen without turning his head while eating breakfast: "You make this watch, I'll send it to your email."
Although this is not Zheng Chen's job, Zheng Chen swallowed his refusal as soon as he said, "Okay."
Colleagues are used to ordering Zheng Chen, and they don't feel that they are doing something wrong. Seeing that Zheng Chen just opened the data, he smiled and asked: "Didn't you say that you knew Huo Yan before? Did you go back to find him? The young master of the Zhou family , you can post whatever you want, we are all waiting for you to change jobs.”
Zheng Chen pursed his lips, the words were extremely harsh in his ears, he just mentioned that he knew Huo Yan after seeing the news, and hugged him when he was a child, but was grabbed by his colleagues and insisted on giving him a hug. Huo Yan called, or gave them Huo Yan's WeChat account Penguin.
But Zheng Chen really didn't have Huo Yan's contact information. When he left Anyang County, Huo Yan was still using the oldest elderly phone, he could only make calls and send and receive text messages, and the only games he played were Sokoban and Tetris.
Moreover, he changed his number after he graduated from university, and he didn't keep Huo Yan's phone number anymore.
He couldn't prove it was true, so his truth became a big lie, and his colleagues would let him have fun if they had nothing to do.
Obviously only came out to work for two months, but Zheng Chen was exhausted physically and mentally, and he didn't even have the strength to argue.
But he kept telling himself that the opportunity to join this company was hard for him to win. He didn't have a high degree of education, and his family has nothing to do with him. Nowadays, many medium-sized companies start to only hire graduate students, and he can't give up this job because of such introverts. .
The colleague saw that he didn't answer, so he said to the colleague on the other side: "I don't know who it is. I said I knew the young master of the Zhou family, but I didn't even have the contact information. According to this, I can still say that the superstar is my classmate." !"
A few people laughed, it wasn't that they didn't like Zheng Chen, but that boring work always needed a little seasoning.
What's more, Zheng Chen is just a probationary employee, and he keeps his attitude so low, it seems that he won't be angry no matter what, it's safest to use him to make jokes.
Zheng Chen's hand was tightly holding the mouse, and for a moment he wanted to stand up regardless, and punch the colleague beside him directly.
But the anger was suppressed by reason.
The supervisor will not speak up for him. If letting a temporary worker leave can solve the problem, he will never fire a regular employee who needs compensation from the company.
Especially the colleagues who have been in the company for several years, have a deep friendship with the supervisor, and even make appointments to eat and sing during holidays.
Zheng Chen's eyes were red, he didn't dare to blink, for fear that his tears would fall down if he blinked.
His tears will become a new laughing stock.
"Why are your eyes red?" A colleague came over, "Don't cry, I'm just joking with you, you can't afford to joke, right?"
Zheng Chen swallowed, he was afraid that the other party would hear crying in his voice, so he forced himself to say: "No, it seems like a bug flew into my eyes just now."
Colleague: "There are bugs in the office? Then you're out of luck."
The colleague smiled and winked at the person next to him, clearly saying, "Look, he's crying, what a big deal, he's really useless."
At this moment, Zheng Chen's cell phone rang.
Zheng Chen didn't want to answer at first, but when he saw that the caller's number was his own mother, he still pushed away the chair and went to the corridor with the phone.
There are management people smoking in the corridor, this is the smoking area, smoking is not allowed inside the company.
Zheng Chen smiled at them with difficulty, then went to the window to answer the phone.
"Xiaochen!" As soon as his mother's loud voice sounded, Zheng Chen's nose became sore. He could hold back just now, but now he finally couldn't help it anymore. He turned his head and covered his face, tears fell into his palms, and then After being wiped off vigorously by him, he replied hoarsely, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Mama Zheng: "Xiaochen, what's wrong with you? Why is your voice so loud?! Are you crying?!"
Zheng Chen pursed his lips: "No, I've caught a cold these days and it's been raining all the time."
Zheng Ma breathed a sigh of relief, her voice could not conceal the ecstasy: "Mom has good news for you!"
Zheng Chen took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound normal: "What good news? Is the price of seeds and fertilizers reduced?"
"What kind of good news is that?" Zheng Ma excitedly said, "Extremely good news!"
"Oh, it's a good thing you had a good relationship with Huo Yan when you were young! It's good to be rewarded for being a good person. Back then, I almost didn't allow you to play with him! It's because of your kindness that you only have this chance now!"
Zheng Chen was confused, he had played with Huo Yan, but the total was no more than five times, and because Huo Yan was too young, he disliked him.
Zheng Ma suddenly whispered mysteriously: "Huo Yan told me today that you can join the Zhou Group! At least you are also a small supervisor!"
Zheng Ma: "You are an official once you enter!"
Zheng Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's useless for him to say it, he hasn't gone back yet, how can he control me? Mom, don't go looking for him...it's not easy for him."
If he used to think that Huo Yan was no different from other people, he could empathize with Huo Yan after he was born in society.
They are all low-level people, and they don't have the confidence to insist on themselves and fight against others.
Perhaps Huo Yan's gentleness is not really gentle, but just like him, he has no confidence to resist.
Zheng Ma said urgently: "You think I'm coaxing you! Huo Yan has already said it, it will definitely work!"
Zheng Chen still didn't believe it. After joining the company, his knowledge of the previous 20 years had been completely turned upside down.
He thinks that there is no inexplicable malice between people, and that if he treats people sincerely, people will treat him sincerely.
He thought that as long as he expressed his kindness, he would be able to make true friends.
Zheng Chen: "Mom, stop talking, I'm going to work, otherwise I won't be able to finish my work during working hours and have to work overtime."
He found that the supervisors were looking at him, and hung up the phone without waiting for Mama Zheng to answer, and smiled at the supervisors in an awkward and flattering manner.
When he was about to go in, someone suddenly called his name: "Zheng Chen? Are you Zheng Chen?"
Zheng Chen turned his head, and a face he was familiar with but not familiar with him came into view.
The boss came in person. In his memory, the boss was always very busy and had a bad temper. He often got angry with the supervisors, but he was actually very kind to them, the low-level employees. Sometimes he would order milk tea for them during their lunch break.
So Zheng Chen actually has no complaints against the boss.
It's just that if the boss scolds the supervisor once, the supervisor will come and scold them.
But Zheng Chen didn't blame the boss, only the supervisor.
"I've been too busy during this time, so I didn't pay much attention to you." The boss said with a smile, "There's a message from Zhou's side, and I want you to come over, and the position has been arranged for you."
The boss walked towards him, completely ignoring his bewildered expression, the brothers patted him on the shoulder nicely, and led him towards the boss's office.
"Tell me the truth, the company treats you well, right?" The boss squinted his eyes with an amiable expression, and said gently, "When you pass by, you will be the management team. If there is any suitable project for cooperation, don't forget me." That's it, don't worry, you know our company's capabilities, and your benefits will not be lost by then."
Zheng Chen was still in the state of not knowing who he was, where he was, and whether he was dreaming, so he nodded in a daze.
The boss asked the secretary to pour a cup of tea for Zheng Chen, and told him, "Don't use the tea in the tea room, just take the pot on my cabinet."
The secretary didn't know the situation yet, and she was as shocked as seeing sparks hit the earth. The tea in the office cupboard was also good tea that the boss entrusted someone to buy. Even the boss himself doesn't drink it, and only takes it out when entertaining important partners.
Now let him drink it for a small employee?
Is there something wrong with his ears, or something wrong with the world?
The secretary was still doubting life after making tea.
The boss had already talked a lot to Zheng Chen when the secretary was making tea. It seemed that Zheng Chen was his own son. He not only promised that this month's salary would be the same as that of regular employees, but also made up all the previous overtime pay. Of course the money is also written off.
Zheng Chen drank two sips of tea in a daze, and then was led by the secretary to pay his salary. After getting the salary, the secretary asked him: "Is there anything you want to take away from your station? If you don't have time, I can pack it up." I'll send it to you later."
"No, no, no need, I'll clean it up myself." Zheng Chen waved his hands again and again.
Secretary: "Then I'll give you that box, the unused one."
Zheng Chen walked to his workstation with one hand and one foot, staring at the ornaments on the table with his eyes fascinated, his soul was out of his body at this moment.
Seeing his appearance, the colleague thought that he was being criticized for going out to answer the phone, so he gloated and said, "I forgot to remind you just now, the supervisors are all smoking outside, and it is really not good for you to answer the phone when you are late."
Zheng Chen looked at his colleague, now he doesn't find him hateful anymore.
Because he is already different!
The secretary brought the cardboard box and accompanied Zheng Chen to pack things himself.
The colleague looked at the secretary and was stunned for a few seconds. Although the boss' secretary often came to coordinate work, he couldn't manage personnel affairs. Even if Zheng Chen was fired, it was impossible for the secretary to come in person.
The colleague asked cautiously: "Brother Wang, Zheng Chen was fired?"
Secretary Wang was greeted by the boss before he left the office. He said seriously, "It's not expulsion, it's the Zhou family who came to ask for someone. The boss is beautiful."
The colleague opened his mouth wide, looking at Zheng Chen in disbelief, not only him, sitting around Zheng Chen, those who had laughed at Zheng Chen before all looked at him stupidly.
Zheng Chen raised his chin slightly: "I'm telling the truth. Huo Yan is my neighbor. I hugged him when I was a child, but you don't believe it."
Brother Wang: "Do you want to collect the mat?"
Zheng Chen: "I'll do it myself."
He wanted to ridicule these colleagues and avenge his previous revenge, but now he didn't want to say it.
These people have been like this for a lifetime, and they will have no other achievements, they can only be low-level employees.
But he is different, he joined the Zhou Group and became a manager, even if he is just a small leader who only manages a few people, that is different!
He doesn't have to be submissive, and he doesn't have to continue to be humble when others bully him.
Brother Wang hugged the cardboard box and went out with Zheng Chen. He was still saying good things about the company all the way, and he even saw that Zheng Chen had conflicts with several colleagues. Brother said it again.
"It's nothing, I'm not angry now, and they didn't violate the company's rules." Zheng Chen said to Brother Wang.
But Brother Wang looked angry: "That's not okay! We hire people here to cultivate talents! No wonder I said so many people left during the probationary period recently!"
Regardless of whether Brother Wang is sincere or acting, Zheng Chen's expression is much better.
Brother Wang even drove him back, and when he drove downstairs to his rental house, he said, "I know a few houses for rent, the price is cheap, and the community environment is good, I'll help you get in touch."
Zheng Chen is still living in the old dilapidated small house. The room can only accommodate a bed and a wardrobe, not even a desk. The monthly rent is more than 800. If it is not for the far distance from the subway station, the rent price will be more than that. .
"Thank you." Zheng Chen smiled brightly, "I'll look for it myself after I officially join the job."
After watching Zheng Chen go upstairs, Brother Wang sent a text message to the boss with envy and hatred, expressing that he had completed the task.
Why is he not as lucky as Zheng Chen!He was actually neighbors with the eldest young master who was replaced by the Zhou family!
If he can enter Zhou's, let alone the management, it would be great to be an ordinary employee!
An opportunity that many people can't ask for!
When Zheng Chen returned to the room, he called Zheng Ma and asked for Huo Yan's number.
He sorted out his mood before calling Huo Yan.
As soon as Huo Yan picked it up, Zheng Chen couldn't help but say, "Xiao Yan, thank you this time."
Huo Yan's voice was as gentle as Zheng Chen remembered: "It's all trivial."
Zheng Chen pursed his lips, his eyes were already red: "Really, brother, thank you, if it weren't for you, I would have to live a life of inhumanity. If you have anything to do in the future, as long as I can help you, I will definitely not help you." Two words!"
Huo Yan: "Just take care of yourself, you know me, and you don't need anything in return."
Zheng Chen is still confessing: "Don't worry, I went to Zhou's. If you have any questions, I will definitely answer them!"
He thought that Huo Yan wanted to place his confidants in Zhou's company.
Although he didn't think he was Huo Yan's confidant, and he didn't have much ability, but as long as it didn't affect his own work, he would absolutely know everything and say everything.
Huo Yan comforted him a few more words, and Zheng Chen who comforted him almost cried, and the two hung up the phone.
"Who are you calling?" Jian Yao took a book and sat next to Huo Yan. Since that night, Jian Yao has never mentioned Zhou Sheng and Zhou Group in front of Huo Yan. The important thing is not what he thinks , but what Huo Yan thought.
Huo Yan tilted his head slightly: "It's an old friend."
Jian Yao: "Why don't I know? I practiced before I saw you."
Huo Yan rubbed Jian Yao's hair, and Jian Yao hurriedly hid: "When did you develop a bad habit, no matter how much hair I have, you will bald it, and you will be responsible for it then?"
Huo Yan smiled sullenly and said, "Okay, I will be responsible."
Jian Yao: "...Then will you buy me a wig or transplant your hair follicles to me?"
Huo Yan: "It's fine, it depends on what you like."
Jian Yao rolled his eyes: "There are no hair follicles that can be transplanted to each other, so who is that person?"
Only then did Huo Yan say: "It's Aunt Zheng's son, a few years older than me, and he's working now."
Jian Yao doesn't remember this person in the original book at all, and even Aunt Zheng is submerged in the "neighbors", without even a surname.
Huo Yan: "Before Aunt Zheng asked me for help with something, and I helped. He was calling to thank me just now."
Jian Yao said "oh", and didn't continue to ask any more questions. Now he is not so curious about Huo Yan's private affairs.
As long as Huo Yan doesn't return to Zhou's house, Jian Yao feels that everything is fine.
"Then I'll cook." Jian Yao said, "I'll let you rest for a day today."
Huo Yan didn't refuse either: "Go ahead, I'll go buy a drink, do you want juice or soda?"
Jian Yao: "Juice, drink soda, you won't be able to eat much. If I eat less, my mother will talk about me again. She has been cute recently."
The two worked together, Jian Yao went to the kitchen, Huo Yan went to a nearby small supermarket to buy drinks.
Huo Yan knew very well that no matter how many wine bags and rice bags he sent over, the Zhou family would have plenty of jobs, and there were so many jobs where they could just wait to die, and the Zhou family would never be dragged down by these people.
But this time what he gave to Zhou was a real talent.
In his previous life, he personally promoted Zheng Chen.
But Zheng Chen has a fatal shortcoming, that is, when encountering major events, he will get confused, and he will be at both ends of the snake.
Seeing a real talent, Zhou Sheng would not put him in a garbage job, that is the time for Zheng Chen to play a role.
And Zheng Chen will not find himself being used in the end.
Only when Zheng Chen himself didn't know, could he hide it from Zhou Sheng.
Jian Yao was washing rice and vegetables in the kitchen. His mobile phone was set aside to play a song, while he was playing himself while singing, and when he sang to the climax, he even jumped a few times.
When Jian An came downstairs, what he saw was Jian Yao jumping up and down.
"Where's Huo Yan?" Jian Anzhi went to the kitchen to fetch water.
Jian Yao immediately started washing the vegetables, and looked away from Jian Anzhi in embarrassment: "He went out to buy drinks."
Jian Anzhi: "Did the monthly exam results come out last month?"
Jian Yao nodded: "Come out, it's still the same."
Jian Yao's usual appearance is the first in grade.
Jian Anzhi has long been used to his son's grades, but he still smiled and said, "Let's go eat hot pot that night."
Jian Yao: "Okay! I wanted to eat it a few days ago, but I kept forgetting to mention it."
There was nothing new in school during this time. Ever since the monitor went to the office alone with Zhao Yinghua, he never troubled him again when he came back. Jian Yao’s life began to remain the same. He got up early to eat every day, went to and from school, and went home to talk to Huo Yan for a while. If you do, you can fall asleep after reading a book for another hour.
Zhou Sheng had already left, but Huo Yan did not go with him.
Although there are still reports about Zhou's family on the Internet, the popularity has dropped a lot.
Although Huo Yan did not return to Zhou's family, Zhou Sheng admitted the identity of Huo Yan's Zhou family in front of the media.
Jian Yao felt that life had become stable again, there were no troublemakers, and Huo Yan finally had to go back to school to continue his classes.
He is very satisfied with his life now.
Sometimes I even feel that he can stay here forever, as if going to college has become less important.
As long as he can stay here, go to school with peace of mind every day, and have his mother and Huo Yan at home, he will feel very satisfied.
It's just that he will quickly dismiss this idea again.
Going to college is still important.
"Why hasn't Huo Yan come back yet?" Jian Anzhi glanced at the time, she was a little surprised, the distance between their home and the small supermarket would not be long.
Jian Yao had already washed the dishes, he looked at the time and felt a little strange, he wiped the water off his hands: "Why don't I go out and have a look."
Jian Anzhi: "Just call."
Jian Yao: "It's okay, I ran over, I didn't move today, just ran two steps."
Jian Anzhi: "Alright, then you can go."
Jian Yao opened the door and ran towards the small supermarket.
But the boss doesn't care if it's difficult for them to travel, whether they can get a car, Zheng Chen was only half an hour late when he arrived at the company, he was drenched, no part of his body was dry, even his underwear was wet affixed to the body.
"I'm half an hour late today, and I'll have to deduct two hundred." Personnel shouted at Zheng Chen.

There are management people smoking in the corridor, this is the smoking area, smoking is not allowed inside the company.
Zheng Chen smiled at them with difficulty, then went to the window to answer the phone.
"Xiaochen!" As soon as his mother's loud voice sounded, Zheng Chen's nose became sore. He could hold back just now, but now he finally couldn't help it anymore. He turned his head and covered his face, tears fell into his palms, and then After being wiped off vigorously by him, he replied hoarsely, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Zheng Ma breathed a sigh of relief, her voice could not conceal the ecstasy: "Mom has good news for you!"

"I've been too busy during this time, so I didn't pay much attention to you." The boss said with a smile, "There's a message from Zhou's side, and I want you to come over, and the position has been arranged for you."
The boss walked towards him, completely ignoring his bewildered expression, the brothers patted him on the shoulder nicely, and led him towards the boss's office.
"Tell me the truth, the company treats you well, right?" The boss squinted his eyes with an amiable expression, and said gently, "When you pass by, you will be the management team. If there is any suitable project for cooperation, don't forget me." That's it, don't worry, you know our company's capabilities, and your benefits will not be lost by then."
Zheng Chen was still in the state of not knowing who he was, where he was, and whether he was dreaming, so he nodded in a daze.
The boss asked the secretary to pour a cup of tea for Zheng Chen, and told him, "Don't use the tea in the tea room, just take the pot on my cabinet."
The secretary didn't know the situation yet, and she was as shocked as seeing sparks hit the earth. The tea in the office cupboard was also good tea that the boss entrusted someone to buy. Even the boss himself doesn't drink it, and only takes it out when entertaining important partners.
Now let him drink it for a small employee?
Is there something wrong with his ears, or something wrong with the world?
The secretary was still doubting life after making tea.
The boss had already talked a lot to Zheng Chen when the secretary was making tea. It seemed that Zheng Chen was his own son. He not only promised that this month's salary would be the same as that of regular employees, but also made up all the previous overtime pay. Of course the money is also written off.
Zheng Chen drank two sips of tea in a daze, and then was led by the secretary to pay his salary. After getting the salary, the secretary asked him: "Is there anything you want to take away from your station? If you don't have time, I can pack it up." I'll send it to you later."
"No, no, no need, I'll clean it up myself." Zheng Chen waved his hands again and again.
Secretary: "Then I'll give you that box, the unused one."
Zheng Chen walked to his workstation with one hand and one foot, staring at the ornaments on the table with his eyes fascinated, his soul was out of his body at this moment.
Seeing his appearance, the colleague thought that he was being criticized for going out to answer the phone, so he gloated and said, "I forgot to remind you just now, the supervisors are all smoking outside, and it is really not good for you to answer the phone when you are late."
Zheng Chen looked at his colleague, now he doesn't find him hateful anymore.
Because he is already different!
The secretary brought the cardboard box and accompanied Zheng Chen to pack things himself.
The colleague looked at the secretary and was stunned for a few seconds. Although the boss' secretary often came to coordinate work, he couldn't manage personnel affairs. Even if Zheng Chen was fired, it was impossible for the secretary to come in person.
The colleague asked cautiously: "Brother Wang, Zheng Chen was fired?"
Secretary Wang was greeted by the boss before he left the office. He said seriously, "It's not expulsion, it's the Zhou family who came to ask for someone. The boss is beautiful."
The colleague opened his mouth wide, looking at Zheng Chen in disbelief, not only him, sitting around Zheng Chen, those who had laughed at Zheng Chen before all looked at him stupidly.
Zheng Chen raised his chin slightly: "I'm telling the truth. Huo Yan is my neighbor. I hugged him when I was a child, but you don't believe it."
Brother Wang: "Do you want to collect the mat?"
Zheng Chen: "I'll do it myself."
He wanted to ridicule these colleagues and avenge his previous revenge, but now he didn't want to say it.
These people have been like this for a lifetime, and they will have no other achievements, they can only be low-level employees.
But he is different, he joined the Zhou Group and became a manager, even if he is just a small leader who only manages a few people, that is different!
He doesn't have to be submissive, and he doesn't have to continue to be humble when others bully him.
Brother Wang hugged the cardboard box and went out with Zheng Chen. He was still saying good things about the company all the way, and he even saw that Zheng Chen had conflicts with several colleagues. Brother said it again.
"It's nothing, I'm not angry now, and they didn't violate the company's rules." Zheng Chen said to Brother Wang.
But Brother Wang looked angry: "That's not okay! We hire people here to cultivate talents! No wonder I said so many people left during the probationary period recently!"
Regardless of whether Brother Wang is sincere or acting, Zheng Chen's expression is much better.
Brother Wang even drove him back, and when he drove downstairs to his rental house, he said, "I know a few houses for rent, the price is cheap, and the community environment is good, I'll help you get in touch."
Zheng Chen is still living in the old dilapidated small house. The room can only accommodate a bed and a wardrobe, not even a desk. The monthly rent is more than 800. If it is not for the far distance from the subway station, the rent price will be more than that. .
"Thank you." Zheng Chen smiled brightly, "I'll look for it myself after I officially join the job."
After watching Zheng Chen go upstairs, Brother Wang sent a text message to the boss with envy and hatred, expressing that he had completed the task.
Why is he not as lucky as Zheng Chen!He was actually neighbors with the eldest young master who was replaced by the Zhou family!
If he can enter Zhou's, let alone the management, it would be great to be an ordinary employee!
An opportunity that many people can't ask for!
When Zheng Chen returned to the room, he called Zheng Ma and asked for Huo Yan's number.
He sorted out his mood before calling Huo Yan.
As soon as Huo Yan picked it up, Zheng Chen couldn't help but say, "Xiao Yan, thank you this time."
Huo Yan's voice was as gentle as Zheng Chen remembered: "It's all trivial."
Zheng Chen pursed his lips, his eyes were already red: "Really, brother, thank you, if it weren't for you, I would have to live a life of inhumanity. If you have anything to do in the future, as long as I can help you, I will definitely not help you." Two words!"
Huo Yan: "Just take care of yourself, you know me, and you don't need anything in return."
Zheng Chen is still confessing: "Don't worry, I went to Zhou's. If you have any questions, I will definitely answer them!"
He thought that Huo Yan wanted to place his confidants in Zhou's company.
Although he didn't think he was Huo Yan's confidant, and he didn't have much ability, but as long as it didn't affect his own work, he would absolutely know everything and say everything.
Huo Yan comforted him a few more words, and Zheng Chen who comforted him almost cried, and the two hung up the phone.
"Who are you calling?" Jian Yao took a book and sat next to Huo Yan. Since that night, Jian Yao has never mentioned Zhou Sheng and Zhou Group in front of Huo Yan. The important thing is not what he thinks , but what Huo Yan thought.
Huo Yan tilted his head slightly: "It's an old friend."
Jian Yao: "Why don't I know? I practiced before I saw you."
Huo Yan rubbed Jian Yao's hair, and Jian Yao hurriedly hid: "When did you develop a bad habit, no matter how much hair I have, you will bald it, and you will be responsible for it then?"
Huo Yan smiled sullenly and said, "Okay, I will be responsible."
Jian Yao: "...Then will you buy me a wig or transplant your hair follicles to me?"
Huo Yan: "It's fine, it depends on what you like."
Jian Yao rolled his eyes: "There are no hair follicles that can be transplanted to each other, so who is that person?"
Only then did Huo Yan say: "It's Aunt Zheng's son, a few years older than me, and he's working now."
Jian Yao doesn't remember this person in the original book at all, and even Aunt Zheng is submerged in the "neighbors", without even a surname.
Huo Yan: "Before Aunt Zheng asked me for help with something, and I helped. He was calling to thank me just now."
Jian Yao said "oh", and didn't continue to ask any more questions. Now he is not so curious about Huo Yan's private affairs.
As long as Huo Yan doesn't return to Zhou's house, Jian Yao feels that everything is fine.
"Then I'll cook." Jian Yao said, "I'll let you rest for a day today."
Huo Yan didn't refuse either: "Go ahead, I'll go buy a drink, do you want juice or soda?"
Jian Yao: "Juice, drink soda, you won't be able to eat much. If I eat less, my mother will talk about me again. She has been cute recently."
The two worked together, Jian Yao went to the kitchen, Huo Yan went to a nearby small supermarket to buy drinks.
Huo Yan knew very well that no matter how many wine bags and rice bags he sent over, the Zhou family would have plenty of jobs, and there were so many jobs where they could just wait to die, and the Zhou family would never be dragged down by these people.
But this time what he gave to Zhou was a real talent.
In his previous life, he personally promoted Zheng Chen.
But Zheng Chen has a fatal shortcoming, that is, when encountering major events, he will get confused, and he will be at both ends of the snake.
Seeing a real talent, Zhou Sheng would not put him in a garbage job, that is the time for Zheng Chen to play a role.
And Zheng Chen will not find himself being used in the end.
Only when Zheng Chen himself didn't know, could he hide it from Zhou Sheng.
Jian Yao was washing rice and vegetables in the kitchen. His mobile phone was set aside to play a song, while he was playing himself while singing, and when he sang to the climax, he even jumped a few times.
When Jian An came downstairs, what he saw was Jian Yao jumping up and down.
"Where's Huo Yan?" Jian Anzhi went to the kitchen to fetch water.
Jian Yao immediately started washing the vegetables, and looked away from Jian Anzhi in embarrassment: "He went out to buy drinks."
Jian Anzhi: "Did the monthly exam results come out last month?"
Jian Yao nodded: "Come out, it's still the same."
Jian Yao's usual appearance is the first in grade.
Jian Anzhi has long been used to his son's grades, but he still smiled and said, "Let's go eat hot pot that night."
Jian Yao: "Okay! I wanted to eat it a few days ago, but I kept forgetting to mention it."
There was nothing new in school during this time. Ever since the monitor went to the office alone with Zhao Yinghua, he never troubled him again when he came back. Jian Yao’s life began to remain the same. He got up early to eat every day, went to and from school, and went home to talk to Huo Yan for a while. If you do, you can fall asleep after reading a book for another hour.
Zhou Sheng had already left, but Huo Yan did not go with him.
Although there are still reports about Zhou's family on the Internet, the popularity has dropped a lot.
Although Huo Yan did not return to Zhou's family, Zhou Sheng admitted the identity of Huo Yan's Zhou family in front of the media.
Jian Yao felt that life had become stable again, there were no troublemakers, and Huo Yan finally had to go back to school to continue his classes.
He is very satisfied with his life now.
Sometimes I even feel that he can stay here forever, as if going to college has become less important.
As long as he can stay here, go to school with peace of mind every day, and have his mother and Huo Yan at home, he will feel very satisfied.
It's just that he will quickly dismiss this idea again.
Going to college is still important.
"Why hasn't Huo Yan come back yet?" Jian Anzhi glanced at the time, she was a little surprised, the distance between their home and the small supermarket would not be long.
Jian Yao had already washed the dishes, he looked at the time and felt a little strange, he wiped the water off his hands: "Why don't I go out and have a look."
Jian Anzhi: "Just call."
Jian Yao: "It's okay, I ran over, I didn't move today, just ran two steps."
Jian Anzhi: "Alright, then you can go."
Jian Yao opened the door and ran towards the small supermarket.
