broken sun

In the early morning of the next day, at the beginning of the new year, light yellow sunlight penetrated through the windows whose curtains were not drawn tightly, covering the entire living room.

Qi Nian fell asleep while lying down like that last night, but he didn't sleep well. Now he was facing the back of the sofa, slightly opened his sleepy eyes, and subconsciously squinted them.

The TV was not turned off all night, and it was replaying last night's Spring Festival Gala, Qi Nian tore off the blanket on his body, turned over, his neck felt sore from being involved, and slowly sat up with his arms propped up.

With his eyes half drooped, he stared blankly at the reflective place on the floor in the distance. After a short rest, he bent down to pick up the remote control of the TV from the carpet, pressed it forward twice, and got up to go to the bathroom.

The emotional breakdown in the long night does not always exist for a long time. No matter how many times we meet on a narrow road, we must forcefully go around as soon as possible, so that we have the courage to continue living.

After Qi Nian washed up, he went back to the master bedroom and changed into casual clothes, and found his cell phone from his coat pocket.He went to bed too early yesterday and didn't keep the New Year's Eve. At this time, he saw that the notification bar was full of unanswered messages and a few missed calls from his aunt. The time showed that it was past eleven o'clock last night.

He called back the first time.

The answer over there was very fast, just by listening to the voice, it seemed as if you could see the kind smile on the other party's face: "Hey, Xiao Nian, why did you get up so early? Let me see...it's 03:30, it's only six in the morning Come on?"

"It's not early, it's past seven, I went to bed early yesterday," Qi Nian explained, and also smiled, "Auntie, Happy New Year."

"Hey, happy new year, as long as you are fine, the red envelope sent to you by auntie will be collected soon..."

Qi Nian followed her wishes and said yes, he turned on the hands-free phone, put it on the table, turned around and took out a carton of milk from the refrigerator, tore off the seal, and poured it into a glass.

The aunt started nagging: "Are you still used to it in China? The place where you live now is settled, and work, is it suitable?"

"It's all good." Qi Nian said.

He continued to listen to the words of concern, and although the answer was simple, he was very patient, and asked the aunt to pay attention to her body.

"Okay, okay, can I still not know, don't worry."

The aunt finally said that she was still shopping in the supermarket, and urged him to go to have breakfast quickly before hanging up the phone.

Qi Nian brought out the hot milk from the microwave, carefully held the edge of the cup, and took a sip with his lips pressed together. The hot air rubbed against the tip of his nose, smelling of sweet milk, very warm.

He went back to the room and sat down at the desk.Except for a notebook on the table, it looked empty.

It hasn't been long since Qi Nian lived in this house, except for the complete furniture and items provided by the landlord, there are indeed very few things that belong to Qi Nian himself.The suitcase that Qi Nian took abroad was almost full of toys, and it is the same when he returns home this time.Except for the very few necessary ones, a large number of books, documents and various trivial things during the rest of the postgraduate period were left in Vancouver.Only the pile of useless toys in the eyes of adults is always with him.

If other people who know him know, they probably think that Qi Nian not only looks small, but also really has a childlike heart.

Then treat him as a child at heart.

Qi Nian was only distracted for a short while, then turned to turn on the computer, and directly logged into the mailbox.

Among Yishui's English letters in the mailbox, only one was written in Chinese, and it was beyond Qi Nian's expectation.

In the place of the text on the screen, there are only a few short lines of words:

【Dear read

Wish you a Happy New Year.

I learned Chinese for you, I love you, they say the moon represents my heart.

Joey】

Qi Nian paused for a moment with the hand holding the mouse, as if he was a little puzzled and a little surprised, but he didn't reply. After thinking for two seconds, he returned to the page and clicked on the next column.

Joey is a junior student who Qi Nian only met a few times when he was in graduate school in Vancouver. He is a Canadian with blond hair and a very cheerful personality.The reason why they left an impression is because they took the same professor's class, and Joey sat next to Qi Nian once and exchanged a few words.

Qi Nian has no way of knowing where he got his mailbox, and he can't respond to this sudden confession. He doesn't feel any unnecessary feelings, and it's hard to experience this kind of love again. It's best not to reply. reply.

The seven-day annual holiday for the Spring Festival is over soon, and Qi Nian has nothing else to do except going out to watch the fireworks on New Year's Eve and going downstairs to eat at restaurants every day.He used to know very few people in Yuncheng, whether they were close or not, they had already lost contact, and no one could be found.

But he didn't get nothing in these seven days.

The Qi Group has grown bigger and bigger over the years. It is involved in everything from real estate to commerce, cultural industries, etc. Not to mention galloping across the entire Yuncheng, it is easy to count names across the country with your fingers. You have to listen. It is not difficult to get some conversation material after dinner.

It is said that because the chairman of the Qi Group divorced his wife for more than 20 years two years ago, the top management was in turmoil until last year. After several internal struggles, at the shareholders meeting held by all parties, the management was reshuffled. brand, newly appointed and promoted several positions.

Because there are only partial facts, and the rest are all rumors, and Qi Wenzhi never told Qi Nian about this, so as the youngest son of the Qi family, Qi Nian found out the general situation after returning to China, which was mixed with There are all kinds of ambiguous gossip and rumors, which are difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Moreover, Qi Nian didn't get any news about the only person he cared about.

Maybe he didn't know when he came back, maybe he hasn't come back yet, or maybe he won't come back again...

Qi Nian is not too pessimistic when he thinks of these things, he has thought about it too many times, and he is used to it.

But Qi Nian was so stubborn, he always believed that that person would one day appear in front of him from the sky just like that morning many years ago.

——In any case, they are all born brothers. Fate makes them separated but meets again, hostile but loves each other. Fate makes them wander, struggle and perish, but never allows them to escape.

No one can cut off the relationship between them.

Qi Nian works for an Internet company, the scale is not very large, he goes out to the bus station in the morning, and it takes about 15 minutes to get there.

On the first day back to work, Qi Nian ran into Zhou Ye at the elevator door on the first floor of the office building, the female boss in charge of their department.

"Xiao Qi, good morning." The elevator door was about to close when Zhou Ye saw him and reached out and pressed the elevator button.

Qi Nian walked in and nodded politely: "Good morning, Director Zhou."

Zhou Ye is nearly 35 years old, married and has children, but she looks delicate, beautiful and young, not like a woman who has already become a mother.Qi Nian was personally recruited by her during the re-examination interview, and now that the two-month probationary period is over half, she is more and more satisfied.

Qi Nian had to face and overcome everything from dealing with people on a part-time job to finding a tutor for graduate students and so on.

But now Qi Nian's introverted and unsmiling personality can hardly be ignored under the influence of his excellent education, ability and decent handling of things.After Zhou Ye years later, he also sent him a text message of New Year's greetings, and his appreciation was beyond words.

What's more, his appearance is also a condition, as long as he is not cold-faced, it is easy to make people like him.

"By the way, Xiaoqi," the elevator slowly ascended, Zhou Ye talked to him about work, "I have something to tell you, the business of Heshangle Media last month, because the planning failed, I have been stuck in the same place for a long time, and now the above said that I can’t delay any longer, and I will give you a copy of the materials at that time, so you can see how to rethink it better.” They walked out of the elevator one after another, and Zhou Ye continued: "When the time comes, you all go to negotiate with Party A together. You are responsible for the core introduction. You don't have to worry about the rest. The sooner the better."

Qi Nian didn't talk too much, and he didn't feel unconfident, he just complied silently.

Zhou Ye smiled at him, and said before entering the office: "It is certain that you will sign the regular contract next month. I will discuss the salary issue with the boss when the time comes. Feel free to ask if you have any requirements. I will try my best to offer you as much as I can. "

Qi Nian walked to his desk, and before he could sit down, Vivi, a girl of the same age from the HR department, came up to talk and said in a low voice, "Qi Nian, happy new year, I just heard it, and I will be a regular next month." Right, congratulations."

"Happy New Year, thank you."

"It's okay, hey, remember to treat me when the time comes!"

After hearing this, Qi Nian felt nothing, so he agreed.

Seeing this, Vivi's eyes were shining, and he sighed in his heart, and even wanted to answer the question online immediately, telling the world-"What kind of experience is it that a male colleague who is so cute and good-looking is so cute"!

After she finished speaking, she was called out, and then she turned to chat with colleagues in the same department.

There was still a while before work time, Qi Nian turned on the computer in front of him, downloaded the file sent by Zhou Ye in a leisurely manner, and went to the tea room to make a cup of coffee while waiting.

Several colleagues on the other side were still chatting while eating, and one of them held up his mobile phone and suddenly exclaimed in a moderate way, saying incoherently: "Oh my God, this... look, look! I was stunned!"

Several people leaned over together and stared with wide eyes for a while.

"Isn't this the company that has been procrastinating with us until the progress got stuck?"

"Yes, that's right."

"What's the news, Vivi, I didn't see it clearly, show me it quickly!"

Qi Nian was not interested in their discussion, he stared at the progress bar on the computer screen boredly, blinked his eyes once and for all, then lowered his head and blew on the coffee gently.He took a sip slowly, the coffee tasted just right with three sugar cubes added, very sweet.

"Exposure - the daughter of the chairman of Shangle Media will secretly marry the mysterious young owner of the Qi Group, just to join forces..."

"What kind of novel title are you reading from a bosom friend magazine? It's impossible. I don't believe it. The chairman of Qi's Group just got divorced the year before last, and everyone in the world knows about it. Now they have a big family and a big business, so they're nothing. Qiangqiang, I don’t think it’s necessary to directly buy ten Shangle Media, let’s get married on February 31!” A top gossip male colleague immediately retorted with reasons.

"It seems to be the same. Who knows where this unreliable news comes from."

"That's not sure, there are so many wealthy families, we find it unbelievable!"

Someone interjected: "Who is the Qi family's young master? Why haven't I heard of such a person?"

"Qi Wenzhi seems to have several sons, I remember... I don't know, I'm a native of Yuncheng, I haven't heard much about it..."

"That......"

"Shh, shhh, your director is here and you're going to work. I'll talk about it later."

Zhou Ye came out to get a glass of water, walked over on high heels, smiled half-jokingly and half-seriously at the group of them, gestured to the watch on his wrist, and said to Qi Nian: "You have already received the document." Come on, come to my office, and I have to explain the details to you first."

Qi Nian suddenly came back to his senses, raised his head in a daze and let out a low "ah".

"What are you thinking?" Zhou Ye smiled, "Come on!"

Qi Nian felt that breathing became a little difficult, he took a deep breath, turned around and took off his coat calmly, and followed with his mobile phone tightly in his hand.

From the time he walked all the way to the office and sat down, he secretly waited for a long time before he could hear what Director Zhou said.
