Strangers Ten Years Later

Lin Jin had been dreaming about Ji Cheng all night, and woke up at five o'clock the next morning. He really couldn't sleep anymore, so he just got up to wash up and get ready to go to work.

This year's vacation was really absurd and pitiful. I missed all my birthdays with a fever, and it was not comfortable at all. When Lin Jin returned to the company, he walked adrift.

He was not very good at this job, and it took him five or six years to become a department manager. Although this was good enough in the eyes of others, it was far from enough for Lin Jin.

At the beginning, he had the opportunity to go to another company with better development space, but because he was in Shanghai, Lin Jin refused. He didn't want to be too far away from Ye Ziyuan, and he would get the moon first if he was close to the water.

But these months are too close together, so it's not easy to catch them.

"Manager Lin," the girl who slipped past Lin Jin cautiously stuffed her mouth full of food, she probably stuffed it in just now, covering her mouth with embarrassment, "Morning, good morning."

"Morning." Lin Jin walked towards the office with the documents under his arms, and faintly heard the voices behind him talking about him.

The relationship between Lin Jin and his subordinates is average, that is, the relationship between superiors and subordinates. Although he knows that as a design department, these colleagues will go out to get together every weekend, but Lin Jin has never participated in it. He is too incompetent to integrate into the group up.

But Lin Jin knew a thing or two about how his subordinates talked about him.

It is said that he is cold-tempered, and he doesn't even have a relationship since he was 27. Maybe it's because of his kidney problem.

It is said that he is too cold-tempered, maybe he has no friends in private.

It is said that he is a loner and has no information about his family members, so maybe something big happened.

There are also those who say that he is in the closet, who say that he already has a romantic partner...everything is said, five or six out of ten are correct, and the rest is all made up.

But Lin Jin never made any excuses.

The higher-ups temporarily notified that there was a meeting today, and when the girl from the department told him, she said a few extra words: "Didn't Mr. Liu leave a few months ago? My colleagues were guessing that you would be promoted, but I didn't expect you to be airborne. Listen It’s a powerful way to say it.”

Lin Jin suddenly had a bad feeling.

And this premonition was confirmed when I met the person who gave the lecture.

There are always coincidences in the world, and the person from the airborne company, who took away his chance of promotion, happened to be Ji Cheng who was mentioned just yesterday.

This person also caused Ye Ziyuan to lose interest in half of his work yesterday, and left after getting dressed, not knowing where to go to think about life.

Lin Jin could only pretend not to recognize him.

Ji Cheng smiled at him, and he nodded lightly in response. After the meeting ended, he left quickly without giving Ji Cheng a chance to stop him.

But at lunch time, I still didn't escape.

Under the different eyes of his colleagues, Lin Jin accepted Ji Cheng's invitation to eat in the company cafeteria together, and the two sat upright on both sides of the table, looking at each other calmly.

Ji Cheng has matured a lot, the childishness on his face is completely gone, he can't find the youthful look at the beginning, he wears a whole set of dark gray suit, his hair is clean and neat, only a pair of very round eyes can see the shadow of that year, He was still so delicate and good-looking that the girls in the company looked sideways at him.

Ji Cheng used to practice ballet, and she still couldn't get rid of the straight-backed, very lonely feeling when walking, but it settled a lot.

Back then, Ji Cheng was also among the top three in international ballet competitions.

Lin Jin smiled faintly: "Long time no see."

"Ajin, you have changed a lot," Ji Cheng called him affectionately, "I saw you just now, and I almost didn't dare to recognize you."

"It's all about clothes," Lin Jin said, "You've changed a lot too."

Ji Cheng smiled lightly, and chatted with him about some things. Halfway through the meal, he changed the topic and entered the topic: "Is your relationship with Xiao Yuan still so good?"

"Xiao Yuan" is the name of Ji Cheng alone. Lin Jinchu almost lost his teeth when he heard it, but Ye Ziyuan accepted it happily.

"It's not good or bad, right?" Lin Jin put a piece of green pepper into his mouth and lowered his eyes slightly, "Isn't it always like that?"

"Really," Ji Cheng tilted his head, "but you are the one Xiao Yuan has been with the longest—"

The chopsticks hit the bowl, making a crisp sound, Ji Cheng seemed to be just inadvertently, quickly put the chopsticks together, and said with a smile: "My friend."

"Sorry, I haven't used chopsticks for a long time, and I'm a little rusty." Ji Cheng explained.

"It's okay," Lin Jin replied lightly, "after all, I've been abroad for so many years, so I'm not used to it when I come back..."

The smile on Ji Cheng's face faded.

Lin Jin could feel Ji Cheng's sharpness and tit-for-tat towards him, but he had already gotten used to it. Ji Cheng had always disliked him as Ye Ziyuan's friend, and it was the same in the past and now.

After eating a moderate meal, Lin Jin returned to the office, feeling tired. He hadn't been so tired for a long time. He was so tired that he wished he could sleep all day and all night.

In the afternoon, I basically didn't do anything. Lin Jin came out of the company gate during off-duty time and saw Ye Ziyuan's exaggerated Maserati parked not far away. It was bright red and flamboyant, attracting many people's attention.

Of course, Lin Jin wouldn't go up there in a narcissistic way, and he could figure out that Ye Ziyuan was here to pick up Ji Cheng.

Lin Jin stood behind the security room for a while, watching Ji Cheng get into the car, Ye Ziyuan left quickly, and then came out from the corner.

The uncle in the security room didn't chew his tongue, and his mouth was very lonely. Seeing him appearing in sight, he hurriedly said, "Hey, tell me, who is that new manager?"

In just one day, Ji Cheng's reputation has spread throughout the company.

"I don't know," Lin Jin said blankly, "Maybe it's the money lord."

The melon seeds in the security guard's hand were so frightened that they scattered all over the floor, and he didn't close his mouth for a long time.

For a whole month after that, Lin Jin didn't meet Ye Ziyuan. Instead, he often saw Ye Ziyuan's car downstairs in the company. He never got out of the car, and it was always Ji Cheng who opened the car door and sat in it.

Maserati already attracts attention, not to mention its bright red color. The news that Ji Cheng is picked up by Maserati every day has spread throughout the company, and even Lin Jin has heard the rumor several times.

Rumors are always unbelievable, and Lin Jin also contributes to these public opinions-his guessing about the security guards has also become one of the rumors.

At the end of January, the company's one-year work began to wrap up. When Lin Jin was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, he finally met Ye Ziyuan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

He worked overtime, and Ji Cheng also worked overtime. Ye Ziyuan came to pick Ji Cheng up from get off work, and brought a table full of delicious food to reward the company colleagues. Ye Ziyuan's assistant knocked on the door of Lin Jin's office. Yuan four eyes meet.

Ye Ziyuan's eyes lit up: "Huh? Ah Jin, why are you here?"

Only then did the colleagues know that Ji Cheng's "financial master" also knew Lin Jin.

"Brother Lin," assistant Xiao Liu wiped off his sweat, "You should eat some too."

Lin Jin thought to himself, it's really pitiful to be Ye Ziyuan's assistant. After work, he has to be exploited to buy things and distribute them to people in other companies.

Lin Jin took it over to thank him, and was about to close the door. Ye Ziyuan squeezed in and closed the office door with a bang. Just work here?"

There was a hint of disgust in his tone.

Lin Jin put the food on the desk: "Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs."

"It's too small." Ye Ziyuan kicked the two pillows on the small sofa beside him, and sat down. "Why didn't I know that you work here? If I had known earlier, I would have assigned you to my company." Go, I'll give you a job at random, isn't it better than a big salary here?"

Lin Jin said lightly, "I said so."

Lin Jin had already told Ye Ziyuan the name of his company, but Ye Ziyuan never took it to heart.

Ye Ziyuan is not guilty at all: "Why don't you resign and go to my side after the year? I also told Ji Cheng the same, but he is arrogant and doesn't want to be raised by me, so I'll let it go."

"Young Master Ye, is that why you come to me to find the meaning of existence and being rich?" Lin Jin sighed, not because he was angry, but because he felt a little helpless, and said, "I still have a lot of work to do. If you're really bored, go find Ji Cheng on a date, and don't bother me here."

"Ji Cheng also said that he was busy," Ye Ziyuan felt aggrieved, "A Jin, don't you want to accompany me anymore?"

Ye Ziyuan's pair of phoenix eyes were slightly pulled down when he was cheating, and they became like dog's eyes, looking at you pitifully makes one's heart soften.

Ye Ziyuan said: "I don't know your colleagues very well, and I finally met an acquaintance here, so what if you let me stay for a while?"

Because of this unique "acquaintance", Lin Jin gave in.

And Ye Ziyuan is used to being cheap and good-looking, after climbing the pole, he said: "I see that the lighting in your office is dim, which is just right for watching a movie, otherwise, how about we choose a romance movie to watch? "

Seeing Lin Jin's disfigured face, Ye Ziyuan acted like a baby again: "Ah Jin..."

Ok.

Then see.

Lin Jin clicked on the Titanic, and the two watched Jack and the shredded pork while eating. It lasted an hour and a half, but before seeing the end, Ji Cheng knocked on the door, saying that he had finished his overtime work and could leave .

Ye Ziyuan then forgot about Lin Jin who was still pestering him just now, jumped up like a big dog, and touched Ji Cheng's ear sweetly: "Let's go!"

Ye Ziyuan didn't even ask Lin Jin what his plans were next.

When he reached the door, Ji Cheng turned around: "A Jin, do you want to go together?"

"No more." Ye Ziyuan winked at Lin Jin.

Lin Jin shook his head and smiled faintly: "I still have work to do."

Ye Ziyuan and Ji Cheng turned off the lights in the hall before they left, and Lin Jin realized that the colleagues who worked overtime had finished, and he was the only one left in the huge office building. Lin Jin didn't turn off the Titanic, and continued eating pork Handle business with Jack.

Those conversations about love echoed in the office, the more passionate and lingering, the more lonely and lonely he seemed.

He was busy alone until the early morning before turning off the computer and dragging his exhausted body home.
