Before she got off work, Zhu Ruiyan leaned against the window and looked at the scenery outside. The winter wind was still so cold, the trees were bare, and the wind couldn't blow anything away.

Zhu Ruiyan thought that she had not told Qin Yizhao that she had arrived. At this time, Xiao Zheng had arrived in Qingxian County. She took out her mobile phone and sent a text message: Zhao, I'm here.

Looking at the mobile phone, the SMS has been successfully sent, and then there has been no response. You shouldn't expect anything. Go back to your desktop and see an unread email. It's her manuscript and the journal has been published.

Zhu Ruiyan was a little happy. She raised her eyes and found that ye Zhijie was staring at her. She had to suppress her happiness and close the mailbox.

Have you really finished the draft?

Will her words be published in magazines?

She was happy for a moment.

Ye Zhijie is not far away, looking at her quietly.

Li Shuang and Dai Lulu noticed that they talked to adjust the atmosphere, "it's almost the new year. Are you going to travel during the holiday?"

"The holiday is too short." Li Shuang returned to her first.

"Ye Zhijie, are you going?"

"Not interested." Ye Zhijie said.

"Zhu Ruiyan?"

"I'll go back to my hometown for the new year." Zhu Ruiyan whispered.

"Zhu Ruiyan, where are you from?" Dai Lulu asked casually.

"Yu County." Zhu Ruiyan thought it was nothing to tell them.

"That's not far. It's very beautiful there. I seem to have passed there by car."

"I'll go to Chongqing county." Ye Zhijie spoke again, but his words were frightening.

Zhu Ruiyan looked at Ye Zhijie foolishly. Ye Zhijie didn't look at her. He was asking Li Shuang and Dai Lulu, "are you going? Together?"

Li Shuang and Dai Lulu don't know how to answer. Ye Zhijie doesn't give up on Zhu Ruiyan.

Zhu Ruiyan didn't know how to answer.

"Zhu Ruiyan, do you have any opinion about our trip to Yu county?" Ye Zhijie asked her.

"No, you are welcome." Zhu Ruiyan has no opinion.

"We don't want to go there," Dai Lulu whispered.

"It's all right. I'll go with my girlfriend." Ye Zhijie said faintly.

"Girlfriend?" colleagues were stunned.

"Very strange?" Ye Zhijie asked them, laughing so meaningfully.

Zhu Ruiyan felt that she didn't have enough brains. Looking at Ye Zhijie, she thought she couldn't see through this person.

"When did you have a girlfriend?" Dai Lulu asked a question that everyone was very concerned about.

Ye Zhijie answered frankly, "just yesterday, soon."

Zhu Ruiyan was worried about what had happened to Ye Zhijie.

"Yes, soon. It's a good thing to have a girlfriend. We all bless you." Dai Lulu said quickly and looked at Zhu Ruiyan again.

"Congratulations, ye Zhijie." Zhu Ruiyan tried not to look so surprised and continued to ask, "are you really going to take your girlfriend to Yu county?"

"Yes." Ye Zhijie smiled.

Zhu Ruiyan whispered, "let me know when you arrive and I'll be your guide."

"OK." Ye Zhijie nodded, "I'll call you when I go."

Zhu Ruiyan didn't know what happened to Ye Zhijie, but he was in love, so he should be happy for him. Zhu Ruiyan smiled, "OK."

Ye Zhijie's face was flat. Zhu Ruiyan looked at him with a smile. Li Shuang and Dai Lulu also smiled nearby.

"I'll leave first." Ye Zhijie smiled and said goodbye to his colleagues. "I'm leaving. Bye."

Dai Lulu and Zhu Ruiyan said, "don't mind. After a while, he will figure it out. Love can't be forced. Don't force yourself."

Zhu Ruiyan smiled with them and said nothing.

At this time, director Xue called Zhu Ruiyan, "Zhu Ruiyan."

Zhu Ruiyan saw director Xue standing outside and smiled at her. Zhu Ruiyan walked over, "director Xue."

Director Xue said to her, "come with me to the office and I'll see you if you have something."

Zhu Ruiyan followed director Xue. To director Xue's office.

Director Xue didn't speak, but just smiled. Zhu Ruiyan looked at the smile. She didn't know what the situation was and didn't understand what he meant. She was very nervous, "director Xue, what can I do for you?"

Director Xue still smiled. Zhu Ruiyan just didn't know what was in his smile.

Zhu Ruiyan is most afraid of such a smiling face. She can't see anything. What is he looking for her.

Director Xue finally said, "Xiao Zhu, is secretary Lin okay?"

Zhu Ruiyan didn't know how to answer, and her eyes dodged everywhere.

"I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Zhu Ruiyan had no idea. There was a difference of eighteen thousand miles between her and secretary Lin, but she couldn't tell him.

"I want to move forward, you and secretary Lin mention it." director Xue stopped beating around the Bush and said.

"Oh." Zhu Ruiyan didn't know anything. The word "Oh" would still answer.

"There's nothing else. Just mention it."

Zhu Ruiyan promised, "OK."

Director Xue said again, "it's OK not to mention it with Qin Yizhao. You still put it here. His words also work. He is the son-in-law appointed by Secretary Lin."

Zhu Ruiyan is a little stunned. So many people say that Qin Yizhao is secretary Lin's son-in-law. How far can she go with Qin Yizhao?

Seeing Zhu Ruiyan in a daze, director Xue coughed.

Zhu Ruiyan hurriedly said, "director Xue, I see what you mean. Do you have any other orders?"

Director Xue said, "there's nothing else."

"Then I'll go back to my position first."

Director Xue nodded.

Zhu Ruiyan walked back, but her mind was in a mess.

She wants to fall in love recklessly. What will be the end?

Go home from work, do some housework, tidy up the house, see Qin Yizhao's things in every corner of life in the house, smile, I don't know whether it's joy or sorrow. After cleaning up, she calmed down and wrote some words. She received the news of the manuscript in the morning. Now she writes more energetic.

Not long after dinner, Zhu Ruiyan received a call from Zhou Hui. She missed Zhu Ruiyan a little.

"Yeon Yeon, it's Chinese New Year soon."

Zhu Ruiyan said, "yes, mom, we'll have a week's holiday at that time. I'll go home for the new year." then she remembered the email she received in the morning and said happily to Zhou Hui, "Mom, my article will be published in the magazine."

Zhou Hui was also happy for Zhu Ruiyan: "Yan Yan, you're great. You've been great since you were a child."

"Mom, I'll buy something for you after I receive the payment."

"Hehe, mom is so happy." Zhou Hui smiled on the phone and then asked Zhu Ruiyan, "Yanyan, do you have a boyfriend?"

Does she have a boyfriend now? She thought that her relationship with Qin Yizhao had been determined to be a lover. Would she like to talk to her mother? What would her mother think if she knew? Her good Qin Yizhao doesn't know what will happen at last. Don't tell her mother now. The future is too uncertain. Let's not say it first.

"Yanyan, do you have anything you don't want to tell your mother?" Zhou Hui guessed Zhu Ruiyan's mind.

Zhu Ruiyan grabbed her hair, thought about it, and whispered, "Mom, there is an object that can be considered for development. It hasn't been determined yet."

She casually said that she had an impulse to tell in her mind, so she simply asked her mother, "Mom, if someone is so excellent that I am filthy by myself, mom, will this have any results?"

Zhou Hui didn't expect such a situation. She took her mobile phone and didn't make a sound for a long time.

Zhu Ruiyan didn't make a sound here. Her uneasy heart didn't calm down for a long time. She probably guessed what her mother meant.

"Mom, I'll just say, don't..." Zhu Ruiyan's tone was urgent. She was afraid that her mother would say the result she couldn't accept. She robbed the words first. "Mom, you should listen to other people's stories. The hope is probably very slim."

"Yan Yan, how good is the other party?"

"Especially excellent, undergraduate is Tsinghua, graduate is Oxford, can speak several languages, and her ability is particularly strong..." she imagined Qin Yizhao, saying all his powerful places, and she felt that she didn't deserve him at all. "Mom, standing in front of her, I feel low self-esteem, but I still hope to have results with him from the bottom of my heart."

Zhou Hui didn't make a sound. After a long time, Zhou Hui still asked, "that man looks very bad?"

Zhu Ruiyan was stunned and didn't reply.

Zhou Hui said again, "people with good looks and strong ability are unreliable."

Zhu Ruiyan listened. She understood her mother's words, but she didn't answer.

But Zhou Hui said again, "Yan Yan, what has happened to you and him?"

Zhu Ruiyan was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground.

"Mom..."

"Have you given yourself out?"

"Mom..."

"Yanyan, last time my mother lived with you and saw a man's razor in the bathroom, my mother knew at that time that you probably had a boyfriend, and not Zhang Shuai. Maybe you loved him very much, otherwise you wouldn't give yourself out. You haven't lived with Zhang Shuai for so long. You love this man. You say he is excellent, He should not be bad, but you will have a hard time living with excellent people. Have you ever thought about it? "

"Mom, I don't want to give up easily." Zhu Ruiyan's voice was very low.

"Yanyan, a person's life is not long, but love is only beautiful in a short time. Men want identity, but women can only be used as stepping stones. The initial vows are all illusions in the end. Yanyan, can you see through?"

"Mom, I can't see through."

"You can't see through these. If the other party is such an excellent person, you will only live harder. This road is full of ups and downs and difficulties. Even if you can cut through thorns and thorns, the person who finally gets the fruit can't guarantee that it's you, Yanyan. Do you still have to insist?"

Zhu Ruiyan thought, "Mom, I still don't want to give up."

"Then stick to it. No matter what the result is, you should always have no regrets." Zhou Hui sighed.

After Zhu Ruiyan hung up the phone, she couldn't calm down for a long time. She didn't sleep until late at night.

It will soon be the last working day of the week.

Qin Yizhao informs Zhu Ruiyan that Xiao Zheng will wait at the Pearl Square in the city at 5:30.

In the afternoon, Zhu Ruiyan's cell phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, it was Zhu Ruixuan. Before Zhu Ruiyan made a sound, Zhu Ruixuan began to cry.

"Xuanxuan, what's the matter?"

"Sister, come and save me."

Zhu Ruiyan was nervous. "Xuanxuan, what happened?"

"Sister, please come and help me." Zhu Ruiyan was anxious immediately.

"Tell me the address. What's the matter?"

"Yes..." before he finished, the phone was cut off.

Zhu Ruiyan called again. The bell rang for a long time. No one answered the voice reminder.
