Chapter 108 Difficult to adapt to(1/2)
When we get busy, time passes quickly. September is coming in a blink of an eye. The streets are using the weekend to hold the "Chasing for Red Footprints and Relive the Revolutionary Spirit".
Secretary Zhou personally led the team, led the office cadres and village secretaries and directors, and walked 70 miles to the Yingxi Party Branch Memorial Hall, the first Communist Party branch of the Anhai area, to receive party spirit education, and celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China!
Although Zhang Lili travels around the community every day, she rides electric bikes and never walks so far in one breath. She gets tired and sweaty as she walks.
Seeing that there were many comrades like her who couldn't walk, Zhou Binghai asked everyone to rest for ten minutes, then walked to her and asked, "I've walked almost halfway, can there be half of them withstand it?"
"The revolution will not go back, but we must go even if we can't walk! But Secretary Zhou, can you walk slowly and consider us lesbians?"
"Okay, walk slowly later." Thinking of a circle of friends I saw in the morning, Zhou Binghai asked again: "Director Zhang, has Han Xiaowu still gone to the community now? I haven't seen him for a long time."
"Go, go almost every day. He doesn't like meetings very much, so he hasn't arranged for meetings in the streets during this period." Zhang Lili took a sip of water and asked curiously: "Secretary Zhou, why did you suddenly ask him?"
"I saw him in my circle of friends every few days, and I rarely saw him, so I asked."
"Friends?"
"He seems to go to the Pan Study room often and saw him in Ben Youlan's circle of friends in the morning."
An Hai said it was small, but it was not big.
Thinking of Han Xiaowu's current circle of friends, Zhang Lili couldn't help but smile: "He often goes to the Panshu and attends the 'Huiyuan Night School'. Not only do he go to various lectures, but he also learns calligraphy from Qian Yuhua and painting from Xu Zhangwei. Some time ago, he even bought a camera with a long lens to learn photography from Zhai Huiyong. Unfortunately, he was only five minutes old and stopped learning after only a few days of learning."
“His spare time is colorful.”
"What kind of spare time is people enjoying life."
Zhou Binghai looked back and asked with a smile: "I remember who told me that he was chasing Chu Chanjuan from the United Front Work Department, did he catch up with him?"
Zhang Lili smiled and said, "No, no. He is now very close to Boss Cai, the daughter of the rich hotel."
The Rich Hotel has a history in Anhai. Zhou Binghai not only has been there but also knows Boss Cai, and pondered: "Boss Cai's daughter is a classmate with my nephew. I have seen her name, but I can't remember it for a while."
"Cai Qi."
"Yes, yes, yes, it seems that it's called Cai Qi."
"That girl looks pretty good. She drove a BMW to the community to find Xiaowu every few days."
"Where does that girl work?"
Zhang Lili got up, rubbed her legs and smiled, "That girl and her friend opened a home improvement company. The store is not big, there are not many people, and the business is not very good. But she doesn't care. She is the only one in her family anyway, and her father has money. Think about it carefully, she is quite suitable for Xiaowu."
"Young man now, let's not talk about him anymore, let's continue to go."
...
At the same time, Han Xiaowu was sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, lifting up his T-shirt, and letting his niece squeeze the blackhead on his back. It was so itchy that it was uncomfortable, it wouldn't work without squeezing it out, and the moment the blackhead was squeezed out was really comfortable.
"Come on, look at this, so many, so long!"
"It's quite long." Han Xiaowu pinched the white acne that had just been squeezed out from her fingertips, and couldn't help but lower his head and smell it.
Han Sumi frowned and said disgustedly: "It smells so bad, I still have the nerve to smell it! Uncle, why are you different from others? You don't like to smell the fragrance, but you actually like to smell the smell!"
"It's quite smelly." Han Xiaowu picked up the wet wipes to wipe his hands, twisted his body again: "Hurry up and squeeze it, as long as you see the blackhead, squeeze it out all the things you can."
"Uncle, it's such a disgusting thing. Why don't you go to Cai Qi and ask me to help you with it?"
"Cai Qi is my best friend."
"What kind of best friend do you want, a big man? Even if she is really your best friend, I will still be your niece!"
"So you can only find this kind of thing. Hurry up, don't be too slow."
"Stop squeezing, the more you squeeze, the more disgusting it becomes." Han Sumi got up, put on slippers, ran to the washbasin and squeezed some hand sanitizer. While washing his hands, he muttered: "I should go to work, I don't know when I can get off work, so you can solve it yourself for dinner."
"I don't know when I get off work?"
"Our sales office will close at 8 o'clock in the evening. If there are customers, I don't know what time it will be delayed!"
Han Xiaowu knew that these were all excuses, so he put down his T-shirt, turned around and looked at her through the mirror, and said meaningfully: "Xiaomi, I don't object to falling in love, and I won't object to you and Xu Hao first. But I must remind you that he is determined to join the army, and there is a high possibility of being tested."
"Little uncle, we didn't talk. I'm just ordinary friends with him."
"Average friends are just ordinary friends. I have already reminded you that you should remind me."
"I got it, I'll leave first."
"Let's go, slow down the road."
...
Listening to the sound of her niece closing the door and running towards the elevator entrance, Han Xiaowu sighed inwardly that she was really a girl but was not the only one who was a big deal. Not only did she get closer and closer to Xu Hao, who was driving an online car-hailing car. It is said that Xu Xielin is also chasing her now, and the suitor is the son of a small boss.
I was bored and an old colleague who had not been on the phone for more than a month actually called.
"Mr. Zhang, it's broad daylight, why do you think of calling me?"
"What does this mean? Is this a night owl?"
"You should be very busy."
"No matter how busy you are, you can't forget your old friend." Zhang Mei, who had just returned to the company from another place, lay comfortably on the swivel chair, overlooking Pujiang not far away, holding up his cell phone and asking, "Mr. Han, how are you doing during this period?"
“Not very good.”
“Not what?”
Han Xiaowu stood up and took a sip of water, walked into the bedroom and turned on the air conditioner, brought him to the door and said, "I'm not afraid of you making jokes. This period of time has been a little empty. Although I have found a lot of things to do, and even though I have made a very interesting friend, I still feel a little empty."
Zhang Mei was surprised and couldn't help asking: "Where is Cinderella, has your Cinderella changed her mind?"
"No, I haven't contacted for a while."
"Really or not?"
"real."
"Is it rejected?"
"Absolutely," Han Xiaowu lay on the bed and said helplessly: "She felt insecure to talk to me. Mr. Zhang, although I think your words make sense, I decided to calm down first after thinking about it. She needs to think about it carefully, and I also need to think about it carefully."
"What do you think?"
"Think of a friend."
"Your interesting friend?" Zhang Mei asked.
Han Xiaowu yawned and said listlessly: "Well, that interesting friend asked me if I really like the United Front Sister, or the process of chasing the United Front Sister? She also asked me if I really like the United Front Sister, then what do I like the United Front Sister?"
"What did you say?"
"I don't know, so I have to think about it."
"It's because of this emptiness?"
"It's not just because of this, I also feel that the work in the community is not as interesting as before, and the work in the united front is not as interesting as before. Even though I have made many friends, there are activities every few days."
Zhang Mei reacted, picked up the cup and smiled, "Mr. Han, you think it's boring to do this, or boring to do that, it's completely as expected! I'm even a little surprised that you can hold on until today."
Han Xiaowu subconsciously asked: "What does it mean?"
"It's naturally boring if you don't have challenges. You can't even understand such a simple truth?"
"But I've made up my mind to retire, and I really don't want to go back to my old career."
"You are determined to retire, but what is your state before retirement?" Zhang Mei asked back and said: "In investment banks, you can learn new things every day, and you can feel that you are growing and improving every day. You have long been used to this rhythm, like a galloping train, suddenly braked suddenly. How could you have no inertia, and how could you adapt?"
"It sounds a little bit."
"It's not a little bit of a reason, it's the reason! And you are different from others. You came in from undergraduate studies. If you can get to where you are today, you have paid more than others. You have worked harder than everyone else over the years. Just like a high-speed humanoid machine, you can stop as soon as you say it? Even if you stop, can you get used to it?"
Zhang Mei paused and said, "As for whether he really liked that Cinderella, he might have subconsciously regarded chasing Cinderella as a project and must be won, otherwise you will not be Han Xiaowu."
"How is that possible? I really like her."
"What do you like about her?"
“Does it take a reason to like someone?”
"need!"
"I don't think it's necessary," Han Xiaowu touched the corner of his mouth, thought about it and admitted: "Mr. Zhang, but you said it's difficult for me to adapt to the new life. It makes sense to think about it carefully. I try to adapt to it again. If I still feel empty in two or three months, I can only find a new job and find something slightly challenging to do."
"Han Xiaowu, stop teasing. What else can people like you and me do besides doing this?"
"How about finding a university to teach?"
"I think it's not reliable. Even if you can find it, it's probably because it's fresh at the beginning. If you work for a few days, you'll feel boring."
"Then I'll think about it."
"What do you think about it? Come back. Lao Wang mentioned you at the phone meeting the day before yesterday, saying that your resignation would be a big loss."
Han Xiaowu said without hesitation: "I won't go back."
Zhang Mei asked in confusion: "Why, is it interesting to compete with me?"
Han Xiaowu sat up and smiled bitterly, "I'm not competing with myself. The reason I resigned is because I can't stand it anymore. There is one thing I have never told anyone, and even my parents don't know."
"What's up?"
"When I went to Northeast China for due diligence, the plane was delayed, so I went to the airport to make a complete draft. As I was doing it, my eyes went dark and I fainted. When I woke up, I found that I had been sent to the hospital, my limbs were unconscious, and my face was numb. I thought I had a stroke, and I thought that after I finished it, I might never get out of bed again in my life. It felt really worse than death!"
