Chapter 5 I'm ugly

Xin Xin said while instilling eye drops: "Single people are most afraid of getting sick." Marley glanced at her, "Do you think someone will serve you after you get married? Dreaming, if it doesn't work well, you will serve him." "But your partner is lying on the bed dying, no matter how hard-hearted people are, they won't die." "He's not bad, he's just stupid. You passed out, he thought you were taking a nap, and waited until you woke up to eat big dishes and listen to its music for three hours." Xinxin thought, who is this talking about?

Marley sighed, "The three sisters in our family are all married to this kind of old wood." But they have their own advantages, they don't beat mistresses or wives. "You're still the smartest. Playing with the world and refusing to get married." Marley walked away. Last Monday, Marley suffered from a severe cold. Xinxin was afraid of catching it when she leaned over her head to talk to her colleagues. But when your boss talks to you, you can't turn your head away to pretend to be impatient. Xinxin knew that she, who has always been weak in resistance, was doomed this time.

really. Marley recovered after three days, and the whole set of bacteria was given to Xinxin. Now Xinxin may have to work hard for half a month. Sneezing, runny nose, coughing, fever, going to work at nine o'clock every morning, until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, I couldn't take it anymore, so I went back to the apartment to take medicine and go to bed. Colleagues persuaded her to take two doses of mild Chinese medicine, but Xinxin has always had a foreign temper.Don't believe in herbs. Until today, it has been a whole week, and I can't open my eyes. She couldn't help but not officially call for sick leave.

She knows that some people only take five days off after giving birth. Such heroes are the most important talents in the company, and she can't do it. Shin Shin takes health very seriously. After a few years, these hard-working people will all fall down, and the company may not erect a monument for them, so why bother. When she got home, Xinxin took a hot bath, changed into thick pajamas, put on wool socks, took off her contact lenses, and went to bed. Human science, Xin Xin sneers, can't even handle a few filter bacteria, but it wants to go far and set out to the universe. She complained for a while and fell asleep.

In the dream, someone greeted her graciously and told her that there was nothing to worry about, and that all matters, big and small, were arranged by him. Even in her sleep, Xinxin didn't believe that all of this would be true, but hearing it was very rewarding. Feeling comfortable, the phone rang from far to near. It became clearer and more realistic, Xinxin groaned and opened her eyes. She took the phone by the bedside, and it was Marley's voice, "You are really at home." Xinxin groaned. "You must come back the day after tomorrow. You have an important meeting." There was already too much dissatisfaction in his tone.

Xinxin ignored her and put down the microphone. But once a good dream is awakened, it is hard to find, Xinxin leans on a few big pillows in a daze. Marley is a formidable character with a good appearance. It is really difficult to assign her a group of tasks. She is best at breaking the confidence of new colleagues, making them at a loss before breaking them individually. It was Xinxin's first report to her. She read it in her hand and said casually, "You even wrote the date wrong. Today is not Thursday the twelfth." Xinxin had already heard about her temper, so she insisted, "Today is indeed Thursday the 12th."

Marley smiled. "It's Wednesday." If it was someone else, his confidence would have been lost, at least he should have talked about him, but Xinxin said: "Please check the desk calendar." There was nothing Marley could do, so he had to look through the calendar and said lightly, "Hey, what do you know, today is really Thursday." From then on, Marley looked at Xinxin differently. He always finds an opportunity to find fault with her, and deliberately writes her as willful and careless in the report. Xinxin sighed. Housewives always envy high-paid professional women, and always think that as long as they do their jobs well, they don't need to care about other trivial matters. There is a big gap between reality and imagination.

Before I knew it, I had been doing it for three years. Only then did I realize how happy it was to be single. When I got home, if I didn’t like to go out, I got a corned beef sandwich and a glass of ginger beer.In case of high interest, you can call your relatives and friends and go to the street to play until late at night. Their generation thinks very openly and understands that the opposite sex is not an omnipotent superman. This kind of thinking is unfair, so sometimes even though they are lonely, they have no complaints. As the situation got better, Marley finally got to know her better, and Marley began to treat her as a half-confidant, and he didn't bother to complain to her. After all, there was no other more suitable person around him, and gradually he had two truths.

But I still can't forget that she has a higher official position than others, so she has to put on airs. It's probably human nature, and maybe one day, when she gets promoted, she'll go overboard than Marley. The phone rang again. Xinxin answered, "Yes, Marley, what's the matter?" He hesitated over there, "Is Miss Zhang Xinxin here?" It was a girl. "I'm." "This is Brilliance Communication Company. We want to send a contract up. When is it convenient?" As soon as the contract was mentioned, Xinxin's heart came alive, "I'm at home all day today."

"My surname is Wang, will you arrive at the residence in twenty minutes?" "thanks, thanks." Xinxin couldn't help but be a little bit happy. My uncle listened to her complaints a lot and agreed to find her a more ideal job. There was no news for more than three months. He was talking about his glory as the general manager. Now there is finally news. She struggled to get out of bed, trying to make some efforts to decorate her appearance, but she couldn't do what she wanted, anyway, the other party was a woman, so she didn't need to try to please her, she just showed her true colors.

Looking in the mirror, I frightened myself, my complexion was so bad I didn’t want to talk about it, suddenly, the freckles floated up clearly, and I was wearing a pair of 800-degree myopia glasses, wearing a bathrobe, the image was quite cartoonish, I couldn’t help but feel happy laugh it out. If Ma Li saw this face, he would forgive her everything. Ugly has its advantages, it is a protective film for walking in the rivers and lakes. Just as I was about to comb my hair, the doorbell rang. Xinxin quickly took off her bathrobe, put on a loose skirt, and went to open the door. "Brilliant Company." Xinxin opened the door immediately. Outside the door was a young lady with a surprised face, "Look for Miss Zhang Xinxin." "I am, please come in." That Miss Wang had heard that Zhang Xinxin in Feiteng's advertisement was a flower, but today she is not as famous as she could see. It can be seen how unreliable the rumors are. She stopped and said quickly: "My boss Zhang Zhongxin is also here." Only then did Xinxin realize that there was a young man following Miss Wang. She adjusted the frame of her glasses in embarrassment and asked them to come in. Mr. Zhang took a look at Xinxin and thought: So it turns out that he is such a capable person with such a simple appearance, he has a good heart, and the female colleagues in the company compete for beauty. It is rare to have a good role model who is different from others. After a few words of politeness, they put down the documents and left. In the elevator, Ms. Wang asked her boss, "Do you think Zhang Xinxin is qualified for that job?" Zhang Zhongxin glanced at the assistant, "Why not, she has already passed three interviews, she does things on the basis of ability, not appearance." Miss Wang kept quiet, but those glasses!It's too much, it's too much to bear, as the customer service director, you have to meet outsiders at any time, with such a strange appearance, I'm afraid you can't get any cheap. When Zhang Zhongxin returned to the company, the general manager smiled and asked, "My niece already has eighty-five points in terms of appearance alone, right?" Zhang Zhongxin hesitated, not knowing how to answer. Finally he said: "The appearance only needs to be neat and tidy, the rest is not important." The general manager praised: "Well said." Zhang Zhong thought confidently that in the eyes of his elders, the niece and daughter whom he had grown up with must be cute, and he should, he couldn't help smiling. That afternoon, Miss Wang became the most popular person. Everyone surrounded her curiously, and asked diligently: "How about it, is the future customer service director as handsome and stylish as the legend, with both talent and appearance?" Miss Wang was afraid to comment. "Let's hear it." "Talent, I believe there must be." "What do you mean by that?" Miss Wang finally couldn't bear it, and said quietly: "The appearance is similar to that of a housewife." Everyone was in a commotion, young girls were most afraid of being classified as mediocre, and would rather be sluts than housewives. "How do you say that?" "The complexion is yellowish yellow, very solid." "Wow." The male colleague lost his mind. Ms. Wang secretly said in the ear of her female colleague: "It's completely different from the legend. Anyway, it can't be called beautiful." Someone laughed, "You deliberately slandered." "How dare I." "Well, when does she go to work?" "I'm afraid it's about a month away." "Mrs. Zuo from the Sales Department has met her before and always said that Zhang Xinxin is smart and beautiful." Ms. Wang winked at the other party, and everyone returned to work. It was Mrs. Zuo who came out. "Who are you talking about?" She asked leisurely, "Be careful. The new boss will come to work next month, and he is very demanding. Please stop joking around and doing things in a semi-amateur manner." No one said anything. In the end, Ms. Wang was the one who relied on favor and was bold, "According to you, is the new boss good-looking?" "It's pretty, why isn't it pretty, the temperament is very outstanding." Mrs. Zuo said and walked away. Everyone thought she was speaking ironically. Zhang Zhongxin heard it, and asked Mrs. Zuo, "Is appearance really that important?" He was a little bit aggrieved for Zhang Xinxin. Mrs. Zuo is smiling but not smiling. "What qualifications do you have to say this? You don't know how much you care about your appearance." Zhang Zhongxin smiled, "I can't come back to the company with dandruff on my shoulders and black borders on my nails." "So, these girls in our company are not your ideal objects at all?" Zhang Zhongxin smiled, "I never said that." Mrs. Zuo sighed, "You have proved with your actions that you have never dated them all these years." Zhang Zhongxin opposes the style of earning 10,000 and spending 20,000. His female colleagues often boast that they have 100 pairs of shoes at home, which makes him unbearable. The shoes they wear are dirty. Women who are completely irrational must of course keep their distance. He has a sixth sense, Zhang Xinxin doesn't care about it. This girl was different, and he had a preconceived impression of her. Zhang Zhongxin is a normal person, of course he doesn't dislike real beauty, he just can't stand fake beauty, the beauty created by a thousand pieces of clothes and three hundred boxes of powder is not as good as not beautiful. Mrs. Zuo immediately said: "Brother, don't be too extreme, a man will grow old if you let him go, be careful not to be too high or not to be low." She returned to the room, dialed a call to the hostile company, and told Ms. Marley the news of Zhang Xinxin's plan to change jobs. On the one hand, Xinxin was at home, despite his illness, after reading the contract, he was very satisfied, and immediately signed his name with a stroke of a pen. In a few days, she will feel better, and she plans to send the contract up in person, and meet new colleagues at the same time. At the moment, she still has to seize the opportunity to rest and draft a letter of resignation.What would Marley think? Xinxin didn't have to worry for too long, Marley's call caught up again. She just said: "Are you at home, I'll come and see you right away." The tone was very gentle, and Xinxin immediately knew that something had happened. The more important the matter, the calmer Marley's tone was. Who reported it so quickly?It seems like every company has bad guys. Well, anyway, Marley knew about it sooner or later. She came right away. When I saw Xinxin, I was startled, "Are you really sick?" Xinxin had such a headache that she couldn't open her eyes, and she was taking medicine. When Marley said this, she felt like crying. "You shouldn't be making ridiculous decisions at times like this," Marley said. Xinxin lay on the sofa and inhaled, without answering. "If you leave like this, people will think that I am mean to my subordinates." "Marley, my cousin's business over there is relatively prosperous." "Then why don't you come over as soon as you graduate? After I train you to be a bit talented, the elders will come to poach you?" "The company hadn't even been established then." Marley looked aggrieved. She had always regarded herself as Xinxin's second parent, but now that Xinxin had rebelled, she couldn't let go of her face. "Marley, you shouldn't stay too long, this room is full of cold germs." "You must go?" Xinxin nodded. "Look at you, you are born from your heart, you are as ugly as you want, you look like a disheveled ghost." Marley cursed. Xinxin can't help but laugh. "You don't have to come to work anymore, take a month off, I can no longer cooperate with you." "We'll have lunch together when you're well." Ma He resentfully said, "I don't want to see you again." Xinxin said: "You are not sincere. There are so many colleagues in the company, there are always people who are worthy of promotion. Didn't you also discover me in the crowd?" When he said this, Marley's face turned pale, "What's the use, the disciples of the church don't have a master." Xinxin laughed. "Take care of your health. Today you look like you are thirty years old. You go to a new company with a dignified appearance. It scares people." Xinxin walks her to the door. "Your myopia is so deep." Marley finally turned his head to give her a word. Xinxin sighed. I can sleep now. She picked up the telephone receiver, lowered the curtain, and buried her head in a deep sleep. Still having that dream, now there are more dialogues, the hero said to her: I will take care of you, don't worry.In a haze, Xinxin felt that the ground was familiar, like a person, but couldn't remember who it was. It wasn't until she woke up covered in cold sweat that she remembered that the man looked like her new acquaintance Zhang Zhongxin.How ridiculous and abrupt it is to drag someone who is not used into a dream, but luckily the other party doesn't know. In this cold and helpless time, Xinxin really hoped that someone would cook a pot of porridge for her. She was so hungry that she had no strength at all, struggling to get up and look at the clock, it was half past eight in the evening. It's just uncomfortable, and so many things happen. Xinxin dared not look in the mirror again. Made a glass of beef juice, ate bread with jam, and drafted a letter of resignation. The next day, Marley came after him again. Although Xinxin had a good temper, she was also a little nervous, "Look, do you want to see me again, or do I have to disappear after tomorrow's meeting?" "The latter," Marley said. Xinxin understands the pressure she is under, but not forgiving her for passing the pressure on to others is not a hero. As the heat faded, Xinxin tidied up the room a bit, made some food, and just sat down to eat, when the phone rang again and again, Xinxin sighed. Marley really has a bit of an early menopause stance. "Zhang Xinxin?" Yo, the sound of a strange man, Xinxin was naturally alert. "Zhang Zhongxin from Guanghui Company." It's him, the man in the dream. Xinxin blushed half of her face for no reason. "Is the contract signed?" "I'm a little unwell these two days, otherwise it would have been delivered long ago." "no problem." "Half an hour?" Xinxin thought it was suspicious. He must live very close, so we met him and asked. She wanted to change her glasses, but her eyes were dry and sore, Xinxin mocked and said, forget it, people are used to seeing it. With glasses on, she didn't know how to put on makeup, so she had to wash her hair, apply some toilet water, and put on a sweater and trousers. Like all business women, Xinxin doesn't have casual clothes, instead she has a whole cabinet full of pompous suits with shoulder pads, which make her look very mighty when she wears them. It's a kind of camouflage, used to scare the enemy. She answers the door. Zhang Zhongxin looked concerned, stepped into the door and said, "You seem to have been sick for several days, you're fine." When Xin Xin regained her spirits, she started talking more, "According to statistics, every adult suffers from two to four colds a year, and there is no medicine to control it." Zhang Zhongxin smiled, "Human beings are really backward." Xinxin immediately felt that he could be a confidant. "I brought you a few bottles of orange water, freshly squeezed." Xinxin quickly thanked her. At this time, Zhang Zhongxin smelled a food aroma in his nose, like stewed lion's head with red cabbage, and boiled short ribs with Shaocai, all of which were dishes he had never tasted since he moved away from his parents' house. He looked at Xinxin in surprise, she couldn't have done it, could it be that cooking has not been lost among modern women?Don't they all hate housework? Don't be too optimistic, most of it is the smell of vegetables from the neighbors next door. Zhang Zhongxin retracted his nose greedily. Xinxin saw it. In fact, she doesn't cook once a year, because she is sick and dare not go to restaurants, so she does it. She told Zhang Zhongxin: "It's a small Tang vegetable meatball with a light mouth, and it's used for porridge." This was a beautiful misunderstanding, Zhang Zhongxin blurted out: "You know how to cook?" "Done badly." Zhang Zhongxin was deeply moved. She was very different from the girls he usually came into contact with, it was amazing that he met her by various chances and coincidences. Zhang Zhongxin's eyes betrayed his thoughts. Xinxin was a little ashamed, she knew he would be wrong, she didn't have the virtues he imagined. But how to explain it. Xinxin had no choice but to say, "I'll go get the contract." She also kept him for dinner, "There's only one dish." Zhang Zhongxin thinks that this dish is delicious in color and fragrance, and if he can eat it after get off work every day, he will have no regrets. Xinxin also finds the whole thing unbelievable, because of a minor illness, she was disarmed, and her spirit was a little weak, and she could no longer be aggressive. Simple, without any invasiveness. I didn't expect to win the favor of this man. But the important thing is.Xinxin also has an indescribable affection for him. Fate is such a thing. Xinxin handed over the contract to him. Zhang Zhongxin shook hands with her, "Welcome to join our company." "Teach me a lot." Xinxin said sincerely. Zhang Zhongxin thought, if other female colleagues said this, he wouldn't believe it. Girls these days would laugh at the opposite sex a lot, and in front of them, they couldn't be wrong at all, but he believed in Xinxin's sincerity. "Everyone just do the research." Xinxin struggled with her male colleagues for several years, and was influenced by her seniors, thinking that there was no love between them, but Zhang Zhongxin gave her great joy. She wanted him to ask her out. In the past, she was always like a brother to the opposite sex, and she was not afraid to ask when she wanted to go out, like "Old Wang, go have a glass of beer", or "Peter, do you want to go swimming tomorrow?" . This time she could have said, "Xiao Zhang, let's go to a show tomorrow", but she opened her mouth several times, but no sound came out. This time it seems to be true. After sitting for a while, with no reason to stay any longer, Xiao Zhang stood up awkwardly, "I'll bring you some fruit tomorrow." Xinxin felt relieved. He will come tomorrow. It's just, when, you can't wait all day. Xiao Zhang said again: "How about noon? You can go to bed later." Xinxin nodded, as if everything was a foregone conclusion. "I live nearby." Xinxin opened the door for him, looked at his hand, and asked, "Where's the contract?" He almost forgot to take it, so he had to turn around again, very embarrassed. Xinxin secretly laughed. In the evening, Marley urged again: "Tomorrow. You must come. Only you know the beginning and the end." Fortunately young.After resting for a few days, she almost recovered. Xin Xin put on light makeup, and she no longer felt haggard. Wearing a gray-blue suit, her spirit followed, and her hair was done, and she looked like a different person. Xinxin was afraid that Xiaozhang would not recognize her. Budgeting for an hour to finish the meeting, she could still rush home and wait for him, but Marley would never make life easier for others. She tortured Xinxin not to let her go, talking and talking about that theory, and talking and talking. Although Xinxin gave her face, after all, the time was really wrong after a colleague, so she had to ask to go one step earlier. Marley couldn't forget to take advantage of his tongue, "I've seen your real face before I know you really wear makeup." Xinxin originally wanted to talk about each other, but she didn't know where.Letting Marley go, she was always happy, and she didn't want to be mean to anyone. She asked Marley: "The first two days, was it really scary?" How could Marley hide what was in his heart: "Like the kind of woman who has to go grocery shopping after work." Xinxin thought for a while, "But, maybe. Maybe this kind of woman is a good wife." Ma He sneered: "To be a woman, you have to have both sex and art. Do you think it's good to have a yellow face?" This is Marley's usual tone. Xinxin is still smiling.Ma He too understands her requirements for women, but does not understand the requirements of men for them. Xinxin said: "I'm leaving, Marley, I'll contact you later." She ran out to intercept the car. Go back to the apartment and meet Xiaozhang at the elevator entrance. Xinxin asked, "Have you been waiting for a long time?" "No, I just rang the bell once." Seeing his anxious look, she knew he had been waiting for more than ten minutes. "How do you go to work and not take much rest?" Xinxin breathed a sigh of relief, it was a good thing that he still recognized her after dressing up. She opens the door. Zhang Zhongxin looked at Xinxin, and felt that she was beautiful and pleasant. The first impression was deeply imprinted in his heart. He didn't realize that Zhang Xinxin was dressed differently from all the management-level female staff at the moment, and she was also holding a briefcase. "You shouldn't be working so hard." "The boss won't let me go." Zhang Zhongxin only thinks that she is responsible. He looked her up and down, "You seem to be different today." Xinxin laughed, "I thought the frames of the glasses were heavy, so I took them off." "Ah yes." He stared blankly at Xinxin, he must have found the person he was looking for. Xinxin gained confidence from his eyes, and asked freely, "Where should we go for dinner?" "Oh, yes, choose a lighter restaurant." Zhang Zhongxin decided to take good care of her. Before going out, Xinxin blinked her eyes in the mirror.
