"From the future, your situation will be better. You promised your mother and go back and see Qianqian."

“…”

Li Han smiled: "If she is still single, you can chase her again."

Gu Mingxi pursed his lips and shook his head: "It's impossible for me and her to do so."

"Silly son." Li Han sighed. Gu Mingxi felt that his mother was very excited this night and seemed to be in good spirits. He said: "Mom, you have said a lot. Aren't you tired? Let's go to bed early."

"Okay, I haven't slept with you for many years. It seems like you've grown up like this in the blink of an eye." Li Han said with a smile. She didn't know that she was terrible when she smiled now.

But Gu Mingxi didn't care at all. He smiled at the corner of his mouth, his body pressed against Li Han, and said, "Mom, I'm sorry for not being able to hug you for so many years."

Li Han said: "In the next life, you will be my son, okay?"

"Okay, we've agreed." Gu Mingxi snuggled in Li Han's arms, "In the next life, I will be your son. If you become my mother, then I will definitely hold you every day and never make you angry in my life."

"Um……"

This night, Li Han seemed to have a very good sleep. Gu Mingxi woke up twice in the middle of the night and looked at his mother. Her breathing sound was very even. He lay back next to her with confidence and fell asleep.

It was dawn and the light outside the window penetrated into the room. Gu Mingxi opened his eyes, sat up from the quilt, and looked at his mother beside him.

Li Han lies on the bed with his eyes closed, and his lips that he couldn't close for a long time were closed. In this way, her face is not that scary, and there seems to be a smile on the corner of her mouth.

However, her face was off-white and she was not angry at all.

Gu Mingxi leaned over, touched her cheek with her cheek, and called her: "Mom."

Li Han did not react at all. Gu Mingxi put his forehead on Li Han's forehead. She still had her body temperature and was not cold at all. He continued to call her: "Mom, Mom..."

He bit Li Han's collar with his teeth and touched her hands with his feet. He kicked her body very gently, shouting over and over again: "Mom, mom, mom, wake up..."

The weather outside the window is very good. In late spring and early summer, the greenery is everywhere, and the birds are chirping. Gu Mingxi knelt beside Li Han, and tears flowed out of his eyes silently.

"Mom, mom, wake up. What kind of breakfast do you want to have? I'll make it for you." He kept urging Li Han's body with his head, "Mom, mom..."

Finally, he finally burst into tears, lay beside his mother, buried his cheeks on her shoulders, and tears filled his eyes. He closed his eyes and felt the body temperature retained by his mother for the last time.

He said, "Mom, don't leave me alone."

In the summer of 2006, Pang Shuisheng went to the bank to do business. After swiping the card at the ATM, he was a little stunned.

He went to the counter to check, and the bank staff told him that a 21,000 yuan sum was transferred from a bank in Z City to his card. The remitter used cash and was anonymous.

Pang Shuisheng knew it was bad, so he immediately called Gu Guoxiang. The two had not been in contact for many years, and he did not greet him and said straight to the point: "Guoxiang, have you contacted Mingxi recently?"

"Mingxi?" Gu Guoxiang said, "I called him, but he closed the number. Later, he called me twice, using official phone calls, and asked me twice, asking me for money. What's wrong?"

Pang Shuisheng said anxiously: "Hurry and go to the bank to see if there is any extra money in your card!"

Gu Guoxiang did not delay and went to the bank to swipe the card. He found that there was indeed an extra 100,000 yuan in the card. He was a little scared and called Pang Shuisheng and asked, "Shuisheng, what's going on?"

Pang Shuisheng hesitated for a while and said, "I think... it's... Ahan is gone."

In August, Wang Song called Pang Qian: "Xiaoqian, our high school class is about to hold a class reunion. Although you have only been there for a year, you are also from the old (2) class. We can't contact Gu Mingxi, so you can only participate on behalf of you two."

Pang Qian went to attend the alumni reunion. The teenagers who were once sixteen or seven years old are now young people in their early twenties. They are studying in different universities across the country. At this time, it is a rare time to get together during the summer vacation.

The class monitor did a good job in organizing activities. Most of the students were present, but there were still a few special people. Xiao Yujing and Xie Yi went to the United States, while Gu Mingxi, no one knew where he was.

Teacher Dai, who was over, got married and became a mother. She was very happy to see a group of children growing up a lot. When she sat with Pang Qian, she asked, "Do you have no news about Gu Mingxi?"

Pang Qian was stunned for a moment and slowly shook her head.

She would not tell them the scene when she received Gu Mingxi's last call.

It was one night a few months ago, was it spring or summer? Pang Qian remembered that it was very hot that night, and the lights were turned off in the dormitory. Suddenly, her cell phone rang.

It was a landline phone from Z City. Pang Qian took her cell phone and got out of bed and ran to the balcony. She answered the phone and called him carefully: "Gu Mingxi."

She was afraid that he would hang up the phone, so she didn't dare to yell at him at all, but said in a coquettish tone: "Gu Mingxi, why haven't you called me for so long?"

He kept silent as usual, Pang Qian said, "I know you haven't returned to class at University B. I have called the teacher there. Gu Mingxi, don't worry, I won't talk to you. I think you must have your own reasons."

"After the final exam of this semester, we will have no professional courses. Next semester, I will start looking for a job. Speaking of which, I can't believe that I'm going to work."

She smiled softly and said, "Gu Mingxi, how are you doing now? I miss you very much. Last time you let me go, I was almost angry with you. I still thought about it and never ignore you again. But... I still miss you."

"It's so late, what are you doing? Our dormitory has turned off. Gu Mingxi, is your mother in better health? My parents are very worried about her and always ask me if there is any news about you, Gu Mingxi..."

With a "click", the phone hung up.

One day a few months later, Pang Shuisheng told Pang Qian that Li Han might have passed away.

Sitting with a group of old classmates, Pang Qian rarely talked. She listened to them talking about her plans. Zhou Nanzhong wanted to strive for the opportunity to be admitted to Wuhan University. If he couldn't fight for it, he would prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination after school started.

Wang Song and Li Xiaoyan are not planning to go to graduate school and are planning to go back to E City to develop together. Li Xiaoyan's family will arrange for her to go to work in a public institution, while Wang Song plans to take the civil service exam.

Jiang Zhiya was intern at E City TV Station during the summer vacation. In order to be on camera, she reluctantly cut off her long hair that had been left for many years. Now she has short hair, which looks refreshing and neat. She broadcasts a weather program, but Zhou Nanzhong jokes as "the little angel that turns cloudy" by Zhou Nanzhong, which makes Jiang Zhiya chase him in the box.

Wu Min is still excellent in his studies. He said that he has applied to several foreign universities and basically gave clear answers. He will make good choices and continue to study in a foreign master's and doctoral degree after graduation.

Later, somehow, everyone talked about Gu Mingxi, Jiang Zhiya started crying in a low voice, and Teacher Dai's eyes were also wet. Gu Mingxi was the most special student she had ever taught, and she still remembered what the boy said during the military training in the first year of high school.

He stood in the shade of the tree with his head raised and his chest raised, saying, "The ostrich is the largest bird in the world, and I believe I can become a powerful person."

After three years, Gu Mingxi walked through the road steadily. He had a pair of quiet and gentle eyes and flexible and powerful feet. He didn't say much, but when he looked at people, he always had a shy smile on his face.

He is also very stubborn, stubborn, and has his own persistence. He even hid a girl in his heart like most boys of this age.

When no one noticed, Teacher Dai said to Pang Qian: "If one day you find Gu Mingxi and Pang Qian, you don't have to tell him anything, don't ask where he went, don't ask what he has experienced over the years, don't ask him if he is suffering or tired, you just need to give him a hug, and that's enough."

School starts in September, Pang Qian is in her senior year, and the school has no professional courses. Some of her classmates are preparing to find jobs, some are preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and some are preparing to go abroad. Students from the University of Finance and Economics have almost no worries about finding jobs. Pang Qian is studying at the School of Finance. She only went to a few targeted job fairs at the school, and three companies have given her olive branches.

After consulting with a teacher, Pang Qian chose an international investment bank in Lujiazui as her first stop in her career.

After National Day, she went to work.

Pang Qian bought a few sets of not-so-formal professional outfits, and when she put them in the mirror, she wanted to laugh a little.

She started taking the bus every day, taking the subway to and from get off work, her hair tied behind her head, her face was light makeup, and her feet were wearing small high heels.

When I was studying in the past, when Pang Qian was on the subway, I could always see young people in the carriage who had just gotten off work. They were sitting or standing with bags in their arms, all of whom were tired and numb. At that time, Pang Qian, Yang Lu and Wu Feiyan were laughing at the side. She thought, these people were really good at pretending, so how could they be so tired at work?

It was her turn to go to work that she realized what the ease of the student days that people talked about was.

Pang Qian's direct leader is Zou Liwen. He is 30 years old, very young and has strong abilities, but he is also very fierce.

His evil intention is not to slap the table and curse people, but to look at you with a cold face, his eyes full of contempt for your work results. He will leave two words: "Rework." No reason is given, and he will leave.

Pang Qian secretly shed tears a few times. She worked overtime at the company until midnight. The dormitory was closed and the subway stopped. She simply lay on the table and survived the night.

The newcomer Pang Qian has a very complicated job. She sorts out data, does PPT, learns to report listing plans for clients, valuation models, and documents to regulatory agencies... She calls clients, lawyers and accountants over and over again to communicate problems, endures the blame from all parties, and also tries to coordinate and solve them. In addition, she helps leaders print, fax, bind, order fast food, buy coffee, and order air tickets...

Zou Liwen's attitude towards Pang Qian has always been average. Originally, he wanted to recruit a boy, but the Human Resources Department recruited him a girl, and the girl didn't look very smart and a little straightforward. Zou Liwen's only good impression of this girl is that she is his fellow villager, both from E City. Zou Liwen thought to use it first. If it doesn't work, she will be sent away after the internship.

Zou Liwen's impression of Pang Qian changed on Christmas Day this year. Christmas Eve happened to be Sunday. He worked overtime in the company and suddenly asked for a report made by Pang Qian. Zou Liwen called Pang Qian and asked her to send the documents. Pang Qian was stunned for a while on the phone and said, "Leader, please wait for me for half an hour."

Half an hour later, Pang Qian came to the office. She was dressed beautifully, and she was wearing smoky makeup, and had a faint smell of alcohol on her body. She was obviously playing outside with her friends.

She went to turn on the computer anxiously, and Zou Liwen said, "Your company computers also have one? Then just tell me which folder to be in, I can find it myself."

"It's okay, leader, I just happened to find a chance to have fun. I don't like drinking anymore." She sent the files from the computer to Zou Liwen, looked at the deserted office around, and said, "Leader, why are you still working overtime on Sunday? It's still Christmas."

Zou Liwen glanced at her: "There is a project plan for tomorrow Deadline."

Pang Qian asked: "The one from Hengfang?"

"Um."

She said, "Do you want me to help?"

Zou Liwen thought for a while and said, "It's OK. Please help me do a proofreading to see if there are any typos, wrong words, etc."

Pang Qian: "Okay!"

They worked overtime until four o'clock in the morning, and Zou Liwen proposed to invite Pang Qian to have a midnight snack.

Pang Qian laughed: "Leader, this is having breakfast!"

Sitting in a 24-hour fast food restaurant, Zou Liwen and Pang Qian were both hungry. After eating for a while, Zou Liwen asked Pang Qian if she planned to stay in Shanghai for development.

Pang Qian was really stupid and told the truth: "I plan to work for two years first, accumulate experience, and then go to graduate school, or go back to work in City E."

Zou Liwen was speechless: "You are telling your leader that you just treat this place as your springboard. Is that what you mean?"

Pang Qian stared at her smoky eyes and said pitifully: "Leader, you don't fire me because I'm working overtime with you until dawn is almost dawn?"

Zou Liwen smiled rare and said, "In two years, or only one year, I will probably go back to E City and go to Jialai, Hong Kong. You will follow me to study hard in the past two years. At that time, if you want, I can take you with you."

"Where is the annual salary?" Pang Qian's eyes shone.

Zou Liwen narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you have any requirements?"

"Go to Jialai, I want to get your current annual salary!"

"dream!"

"Then take half!"

"It should be more than that."

"make a deal!"
