Chapter 3 first quarter

The early spring was very cold, and the cold and eerie cold current seemed to favor T City this year. The icy wind whizzed in through the cracks in the windows, making the people inside the room feel a sense of terror. Lin Ling was dressed thickly, and was nestling in a corner of the office, typing a manuscript on the computer calling for an extension of central heating hours.The more she wrote, the more angry she became, thinking that last year, because the price of coal had risen, the citizens had to pay back the heating bills. If anyone refused to pay, the heating station would threaten to suspend the heating of others.However, when the early spring is so cold, the heating is not extended for a day. The heating users even have to cover up with two layers of quilts to barely survive the cold and cold night. It is really hateful!

With the power of this hatred, Lin Ling rubbed her hands and "scribbled hard".The keyboard was banged by her, causing the editors next to her to look at her. "Wen Si Quan Chung", the manuscript was completed quickly, Lin Ling opened the email, added an attachment, the recipient is the editor-in-chief - type on the name of the editor-in-chief Zhu Qingqi - and then checked the automatic save to the outbox option, and finally click the "Send" button. The icon of the letter spread its wings and flew to the editor-in-chief's mailbox over and over again. Three seconds later, a prompt "The letter has been sent successfully, do you want to send another one" popped up.Lin Ling clicked "No".

This task was finally completed, and for Lin Ling, today's work came to an end.She breathed a long sigh of relief, and seemed to feel a lot more relaxed, but the chill still hit her again after her brief pleasure. After the cold air passed, Lin Ling suddenly felt her nose itchy, and then sneezed several times.An ominous feeling came over in an instant.Lin Ling knew that a common cold is only a momentary event, and it is often caused by a little accidental cold. What makes Lin Ling even more regretful is that the people around her are indifferent to it. Lin Ling's interpersonal relationship in the "T City Evening News" newspaper is not good, which is related to her strong personality.The bad result of this kind of interpersonal relationship is that when she is weakest or needs support and help from others, she can't find someone who can stand behind her and support her.This made her feel lonely while feeling the inviolable sense of authority.

If it were someone else, at this time, a colleague would definitely come over to greet him, or at least say a few words of greeting, but no one in the office spoke, as if nothing happened just now.It seems that the lonely atmosphere is far more contagious than catching a cold. "Who is talking about me again?" Lin Ling has long been used to this kind of silence, so she often uses such cold jokes to regulate her emotions. Fortunately, the ringtone of "Fruit Basket" rang in conjunction with Lin Ling's cold joke. This is her special ringtone. Although it seems very incompatible with this cold spring, there is no doubt that the pair It's still a little good to ease the awkward atmosphere in the office.

But Lin Ling looked at the caller ID, her expression immediately turned dark, her brows frowned, and she quickly pressed the answer button, and said in a strange and blunt tone: "Hello!" "Hi, I'm Fan Haifang, big reporter, do you have time tonight?" "I'm busy now, I have something to do tonight! Don't bother me!" Lin Ling pressed the hang up button after speaking.There seemed to be ball lightning in the dark clouds on Lin Ling's face, flashing and flashing, making it even more gloomy. These few words were said especially loudly, again allowing many of the editors in the room to peek at her.

Fan Haifang is a young physics lecturer at the T City Institute of Technology, half a year younger than Lin Ling. Half a year ago, Zhu Qingqi, the editor-in-chief of "T City Evening News", introduced this person to Lin Ling through his wife's relationship, and wanted them to develop . Lin Ling will be 30 years old in half a year, and she is already a leftover girl.Generally, when leftover women reach this age, their mentality will undergo a huge change-most of them are tired of marriage and love, and they have no hope for the wishful man who has not appeared for a long time; things like introductions and blind dates have long lost any interest in them Come.At this time, most of the leftover women will put more energy on work and play, and other people are more anxious than themselves about getting married.

For Lin Ling, the perfect image of a man in her heart is Tom?Hanks.In real life, she did find a man with that temperament.But that man has become an eternal knot in her heart, always very close to him, but she has never really touched it when she reaches out her hand. For Fan Haifang, Lin Ling didn't have a good impression of him when she first met him.Fan Haifang is a man with a very ordinary appearance, without any shortcomings, but also without any admiration for women. Average figure, average appearance, average dress, for a girl, this is indeed not the image of a prince charming in her mind. ——For modern women, male appearance is too important.

For Lin Ling, there is another important reason why she does not want to associate with Fan Haifang, and that is the other party's profession - teacher. Although in today's China, teachers have always been at the top of the occupational rankings of spouses--the fact that "more than three months of vacation every year and salary is still paid" is enough for many people to envy--but Lin Ling does not She likes the profession of teachers, and she has an indescribable dislike for teachers. Lin Ling is a surprisingly rebellious person. It can be said that she has always appeared as a leader in school since she was a child. She never wants to be restrained by anyone. In school, the only person who can touch her authority is the teacher. .She has always been uncomfortable with the absolute authority that the teacher has over the students, which cannot be changed.

Later, three girls committed suicide in a row at the T City Institute of Technology. Lin Ling participated in the investigation of the case. It was that time that made Lin Ling completely disappointed in her teacher's career. Teachers are supposed to take on the role of protecting students from harm, but in those few incidents, it was precisely because of teachers' dereliction of duty and indifference to students' lives that they laid the groundwork for a series of tragedies. Foreshadowing. All these made Lin Ling feel disgusted with Fan Haifang - not only for him personally, but also for his profession.

But the more you hate the person, the more often it is like a dog skin plaster - once you put it on, you can't get it off. Soon Lin Ling's QQ began to flash, a barbaric bearded head appeared and disappeared in the lower right corner, and Lin Ling's earphone also issued a weak "beep beep" sound. Lin Ling's QQ is in an invisible state. She double-clicked the bearded head heavily, and a dialog box quickly flashed in front of her. The name of that QQ friend was "Looking for Angel". A cute QQ emoticon with red cheeks appeared in front of her, but Lin Ling felt that this expression was extremely contrived—she ignored Fan Haifang's entanglement and closed the dialog box.

Later, she entered the website of Taobao on IE, trying to find the clothes she likes, so as to change the bad mood just now. It is the best way for women to satisfy themselves by shopping.Lin Ling flipped the webpage with the mouse wheel, and saw the beautiful summer dresses come into view, and the expression on her face finally gradually returned to calm. The latest women's clothing is really expensive!Lin Ling looked at it and thought, although there is still some time before summer, it is not far after all. Girls are looking forward to wearing thin summer clothes as soon as possible and showing their graceful lines to everyone as soon as possible, so many businesses sit on the floor Price hikes, online shopping is no exception. When Lin Ling focused all her eyes on a black summer suspender dress, the QQ icon in the lower right corner began to flash again, this time it was a funny Batman image. Seeing "Batman", Lin Ling's face immediately turned from cloudy to sunny, with a bright smile on her face.She quickly double-clicked to open the dialog box, and the user name displayed by the other party was "Dark Night", and the dialog box displayed the expression of a little monkey wiping sweat. "Captain Hu, long time no see!" Lin Ling tapped the keyboard briskly. The other party was Hu Yuyan, captain of the criminal police of T City Bureau. His recent QQ signature was changed to "This truth is unimaginable". "How could it be? It seems that I was on the phone the day before yesterday!" Hu Yuyan typed very fast, and a few seconds after Lin Ling spoke, a reply popped up in the dialog box. "I mean don't see—no people, just hear voices." "Would you like to connect via video now?" Lin Ling made a sweaty expression, "I don't want it anymore, it's in the office, there are people around!" "That's not enough, don't let me scare your colleagues." "I'm afraid they will scare you!" Lin Ling clicked on a QQ emoticon showing a little rabbit grinning, and then continued typing in the dialog box, "Is the case solved?" "Well, basically the case is closed." "So fast?" Hu Yuyan also sent a sweaty expression, "Quick? Isn't this bad?" "But I feel that there is a problem here!" "How do you say that?" "There are two things that are abnormal!" "Just kidding, what's wrong?" "First, your QQ signature has changed. It seems that you have encountered a difficult problem, so you wrote it like this? Second, you took the initiative to contact me, but it is rare. This kind of situation is usually when you want to ask me It happens when I'm doing something difficult. I thought there was something wrong with the case and I was needed to help." "Where is it? I just want to ask if you have time tonight-to invite you to dinner." "You want to invite me to dinner? I'll go and see where the sun comes out. It's probably not the west, but the south!" Hu Yuyan made another wide-eyed expression, "Don't be sarcastic! Should I treat you less?" Lin Ling first responded with a disdainful expression, "It's basically the cafeteria of your city bureau's criminal police team. I'm getting tired of eating it! The meatball soup made by your chef 'Gao Dawanzi', I eat it every time I go. I'm going to vomit!" "Go out to eat today, are you free tonight?" "That depends on where to go." "Big bearded food stall!" Hu Yuyan added a smirk to this sentence. "You Captain Hu's salary is not low! How dare you choose this kind of place? It seems that your family's money is strung on your ribs - if you want to get it out, you have to have an operation." "It also depends on what kind of scalpel it is. Generally speaking, it is impossible to remove it!" Seeing Hu Yuyan's reply, Lin Ling smiled and replied with a smile covering her mouth. "The grilled lamb chops there are very good, and I also like to eat the lamb skewers there, which are full of fat and very fragrant!" Hu Yuyan immediately added. "Disgusting!" Lin Ling clicked on the disgusting emoji. "What's the matter? It's not easy for me to treat you! I don't know when the next time will be!" "I'm sick to death, then I'd better go, if I don't miss the last supper, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!" "Then it's settled!" "Okay! Who told you that the grilled squid is really good!" After speaking, Lin Ling nodded with a helpless expression. "Then see you at the food stall at six o'clock in the evening! I have a lot to do, so I'll get busy first!" Lin Ling didn't speak any more, but just made an expression of seeing you later.The color of Hu Yuyan's QQ icon then dimmed—invisible or already offline. He really looks like a Batman in the dark, elusive, Lin Ling thought.At this time, the emotion that she was still very excited just now was inexplicably lost. There are so many inexplicable connections between people's mood and whether QQ is online or not. When the icon is on and off, it has the power of joy and sadness that is difficult to understand. Lin Ling has been wondering why QQ set up this stealth function?This function is like setting up a secret room for people that only you have the key to open the door.In the secret room, you can secretly observe the people outside, and exclude others from the secret room.You can ignore any outside interference, because you can always make people think that you are not in this secret room. There was a time when Rainbow QQ appeared, and people could tell who was invisible when they went online, but soon Tencent made a patch to block this external plug-in - saying that it was to protect the privacy of users and respect their rights. idea. At that time, Lin Ling was very supportive of Tencent's approach, because she felt that it was unwise to forcibly open her own heart or enter other people's hearts.A person should leave a secret room in his heart that only he can open. But the door of Lin Ling's secret room was hidden for one person—she had always set Hu Yuyan's QQ authority to be invisible. As for Hu Yuyan, what is his authority setting for Lin Ling?She didn't ask him, and she didn't want to ask. Sometimes there are many things, and it is easy to cause problems if you just say it directly. Obviously, Lin Ling is a reserved and sensitive person when it comes to feelings.She has always opened the only door in her heart to Hu Yuyan, but the secret room in Hu Yuyan's heart is often completely closed. Even though Lin Ling can feel a breeze blowing there from time to time, it is still difficult for her to find the door. To the hole in his heart.Besides, Lin Ling always thought that it was meaningless for her to find the hole with all her efforts, because only when Hu Yuyan opened the door for her, did she have the courage to go in. After talking with Hu Yuyan for a while, Lin Ling realized that the QQ icon in the lower right corner was still flashing, and it was that annoying "bearded head"! Damn Hu Yuyan, why did you choose a food stall with a big beard? Didn't this intentionally make me unhappy!Lin Ling cursed secretly while thinking. She didn't even have the enthusiasm for double-clicking on the "bearded head". She chose to directly click the right mouse button on the QQ icon in the lower right corner of the computer desktop, and pressed the "Exit" option heavily.
