Chapter 1507 Meeting classmates on the road, two years later
"How did you do it?"
On the way back, Huang Yimei stared at Zhou Chen in surprise. From Xiaojia's father, she learned what kind of child Xiaojia was and how difficult it was to communicate.
She sat there for two hours today and talked to Xiao Jia several times. Xiao Jia didn't look at her at all, but kept 'communicating' with Zhou Chen, which she really couldn't understand.
She felt that in terms of affinity, she was not necessarily worse than Zhou Chen, but why was the treatment so different?
What puzzled her even more was that Zhou Chen seemed to really be able to communicate with Xiao Jia, and Xiao Jia was also willing to communicate with Zhou Chen. Although the communication between the two was very strange, with Zhou Chen doing the talking, it seemed like normal communication.
, even Xiaojia’s father found it magical.
"Because I have special powers."
Zhou Chen replied with a smile, but received a blank look from Huang Yimei.
Of course she wouldn't believe such 'nonsense', but she didn't know that Zhou Chen really told the truth. He really had special powers, so he could have a smooth and friendly communication with Xiaojia.
"I see how well you communicate with her. When our company holds an art exhibition, you must come and see it."
"Of course, I am good at doing charity work, and I will definitely support it."
This is just a small thing for Zhou Chen. Even for Huang Yimei's sake, he would agree to Jiang Xueqiong's invitation. Besides, the child named Xiaojia does have a talent for painting. Among autistic children, she is considered to be the best.
Functional children.
Although autistic children are different from normal children and look abnormal, there are also geniuses among autistic children, and children who are immersed in their own world, if they are talented in a certain aspect and study professionally seriously
If you study hard, you will definitely achieve great things in the future.
Huang Yimei couldn't help but lament the suffering of such children, and then both of them tacitly agreed not to say more because this topic was too heavy.
"I want to eat ice cream."
"Can you bear to eat ice cream in this weather?"
Although spring is coming after the new year, the temperature has not risen yet and the weather is still relatively cold. The ice cream is cold, and he is really afraid that Huang Yimei won't be able to bear it.
Huang Yimei shook Zhou Chen's arm vigorously and said in a coquettish voice: "I can bear it, I can bear it. I want to eat it. Buy me one."
Zhou Chen matched her shaking, swaying his body and showing a promotional smile.
"Call me husband and I will buy it for you."
Huang Yimei's face immediately turned rosy, and she glared at Zhou Chen with an angry look.
They are still just boyfriend and girlfriend, not married yet. Although she has called her husband many times, she only calls him husband in special situations. She has never called her husband in public.
But her main thing is not to be afraid. She bit her lower lip lightly and shouted smoothly: "Hubby, I want to eat ice cream."
Zhou Chen waved his hand: "Buy."
I bought two ice creams, one with taro flavor and one with strawberry flavor. Huang Yimei took a bite of her own and then took a bite of Zhou Chen's, with a cheerful smile.
Today was originally Huang Yimei's working day, but because she and Zhou Chen came out to see Xiaojia, Jiang Xueqiong immediately gave the green light after learning about it, so she had time to take a break from her busy schedule and accompany Zhou Chen to the mall.
"Huang Yimei."
The two of them were walking around when a voice suddenly came out. Huang Yimei looked up and her face suddenly lit up with joy.
"Fang Ting."
Huang Yimei greeted her, and the two girls hugged each other happily, and then started chattering.
Zhou Chen did not disturb them, just stood aside and waited quietly. He still had an impression of this girl named Fang Ting. When he first went to the Academy of Fine Arts to help Huang Yimei deal with Zhou Shihui, she stayed with Huang Yimei.
, is a classmate in the same dormitory.
Listening to the conversation between Huang Yimei and Fang Ting, it turns out that Fang Ting is different from them. She doesn't come here just for fun, but has a purpose.
Fang Ting and another female classmate resigned from the company together, and the two of them rented a shop nearby and opened a studio together.
The studio is involved in many businesses, including recruiting students to teach painting, selling paintings for money, and also accepting customized paintings from others, wall paintings and calligraphy, etc...
Because the studio had just opened and was still under renovation, they did not sit idle. Instead, they came to the mall and took free portraits in the mall, mainly to advertise their studio.
Fang Ting and the others were very self-aware and did not set their goals too high. They just started from the basics and even taught them to children.
Huang Yimei's eyes lit up after hearing this. In the eyes of others, the top students from the Central Academy of Fine Arts were somewhat devalued by setting up stalls and painting, but she found it very interesting and envied Fang Ting and the others. After all, she was still working, so she could
Ting and the others have begun to fight for their careers and goals.
Huang Yimei took Zhou Chen and went to the place where Fang Ting and the others set up a stall. After going there, she found that many people had gathered around them.
After all, it’s free portraits. It’s only 2002. Free portraits for college students at the Academy of Fine Arts are quite attractive to ordinary people. What’s more, the paintings are still of beautiful girls. People passing by stopped and watched with interest.
Originally, she dragged Zhou Chen to the shopping mall, but Huang Yimei ran over by herself to join in the fun and help people draw portraits.
Zhou Chen didn't say anything, just stood aside and watched. Huang Yimei even asked him to show off her skills, but he declined politely.
Huang Yimei stayed with her classmates until dinner time, then said goodbye to them and left with Zhou Chen.
While eating, Huang Yimei talked enthusiastically to Zhou Chen about what had just happened.
"I heard from Fang Ting and the others that although they invested some money, they feel that their studio has great development prospects. When they were in the dormitory, they were the kind of people who were more thoughtful and courageous; I didn't expect that
Less than a year after graduation, they chose to start their own businesses, which is really amazing."
Although she had never thought about starting her own business and becoming her own boss, she still admired her good classmates when she saw what they did.
Zhou Chen said: "If you want to, you can definitely do it. Your ability is no worse than theirs."
Huang Yimei shook her head and said: "I'll forget it, I'm still suitable for going to work, not suitable for being a boss or businessman."
In fact, her eloquence and ability are not bad, but rather than soliciting business, she still likes to do practical things, or do what she likes to do.
Or to put it another way, rather than racking her brains to make money, she wants to prove her worth and ability and pursue her own life before making money.
Listening to Huang Yimei's chatter, Zhou Chen just smiled and said nothing. Everyone's pursuits are different. Huang Yimei can do this because her living environment is such that money is not her first pursuit.
After half a month of negotiation and arrangement, the time and location for the charity art exhibition held by Qingzhen Company were officially decided. Since it was a charity event, in the end, the art exhibition was simply held in our company, and the paintings were all placed in
Company corridors, lobbies, etc.
Qingjuan is also a relatively well-known company in the industry. Although it is only a charity exhibition, it has attracted many people and many people came here because of its reputation.
So on the day of the art exhibition, the entire Qingzhen company was quite lively, with people coming and going, and the employees in the company were busy receiving guests.
In Jiang Xueqiong's second-floor office, Zhou Chen was sitting quietly on the sofa drinking tea. Jiang Xueqiong, who had been busy for a long time, walked in.
"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, I'm a little too busy today."
"It's okay, I'm just here to join in the fun. These paintings you chose are all very good."
Jiang Xueqiong smiled elegantly and said: "Most of these paintings were selected by Huang Yimei. Mr. Zhou, I am not complimenting you, but Huang Yimei. She is really an outstanding employee. She has the ability, ideas, and action. Let me
Her being my assistant really hid her talent."
"What Mr. Jiang said is that she is indeed very good."
The two chatted casually. As the main force today, Huang Yimei was very busy and had almost no time to accompany Zhou Chen.
The art exhibition was not just one day, but lasted for two days in total. Zhou Chen was also very generous and spent money to buy five paintings and took them back for collection. Two of them were paintings by Xiaojia, an autistic child.
Others may not be able to understand Xiaojia's paintings, but he can.
Time passed very quickly. After Huang Yimei's perfect performance in several projects, she gained the attention of Jiang Xueqiong. She was directly transferred to the project team and began to work under Su Gengsheng. She was no longer just her assistant.
Huang Yimei was also very happy to join the project team, and then worked even harder.
In the blink of an eye, two years passed.
Huang Yimei, who had just returned from a business trip, didn't even return to her own home. She immediately came to Zhou Chen's house and hugged Zhou Chen without letting go.
"Ten days, I miss you so much."
This time Huang Yimei went to Shanghai with Su Gengsheng to discuss a project. She went there for ten days and didn't see Zhou Chen for ten days. When she came back, the person she wanted to see and hug the most was Zhou Chen.
This was the first time since she and Zhou Chen fell in love that they had been separated for so long.
Now, she got her wish.
Zhou Chen did not use too many words, but directly expressed his thoughts with his actions...
Two hours later!
Huang Yimei was like a lazy cat, leaning on Zhou Chen's arms, feeling Zhou Chen's body temperature.
"Next time I won't go on a business trip for so long."
Even though they have been in love for more than two years now, their relationship is still stable, and her dependence on Zhou Chen is getting stronger and stronger. After not seeing each other for ten days, she feels as if the most important thing is missing from her life.
Zhou Chen said softly: "I said I could fly to Shanghai to find you, but you said it yourself that you have to be busy with work. If I go, you will be distracted and won't let me go no matter what."
Huang Yimei said angrily: "I didn't expect it to take so long, but this project went very smoothly. Mr. Jiang gave me a week off, so I can spend time with you."
Although she is not a workaholic, since joining the project team, except for the Spring Festival, she has never had a week off in a row.
"Okay, whatever you want to do, I can accompany you."
"I'm so tired after traveling for so many days. For the time being, I just want to stay at home, lie next to you and hold you. I don't want to go anywhere else."
"I see that you have been quite busy since you joined your company's project team. Aren't you tired?"
"It's tiring. That's why I admire Su Su. She has more workload than me, but she is able to maintain such intensity of work. I can't help but accept it."
It has been more than two years since she joined Qingjuan. She and Su Gengsheng have become good sisters and have a very close relationship. She has always admired Su Gengsheng's work attitude.
"Joining the project team and following Su Su, I did learn a lot, but I feel a little tired all the time doing projects."
"No more freshness?"
Huang Yimei sat up. She felt that what Zhou Chen said was in line with her state of mind.
After getting familiar with the operation of the project team, she did gradually lose the sense of freshness. The success of a previous project would give her a sense of accomplishment, but now it doesn't. After each project is completed, she feels more relieved.
Then comes the exhaustion.
She may not be aware of the problem herself, but Zhou Chen sees it clearly.
Having been with Huang Yimei for more than two years, he naturally knows Huang Yimei very well. She is not a static person. She likes work and loves life, so she will never become a workaholic like Su Gengsheng.
He supports women to have their own careers, but does not support his women becoming workaholics. Anyway, he is not short of money and there is no need to sacrifice his life or even his relationship for work.
"If you feel tired, you can try to stop and think about it before starting."
Although Huang Yimei didn't understand why Zhou Chen suddenly said this to her, she really considered Zhou Chen's suggestion.
Zhou Chen continued: "The scale of your Qingzhen branch in the capital is limited. A company with dozens of people can only have one boss, and the project department can only have one person in charge. To be honest, even if you do
No matter how good it is, there is almost no room for improvement in this Qingju Branch."
"As for transferring to other branches or the head office, I don't think you will even consider it."
Huang Yimei replied without hesitation: "That's for sure. You are in the capital, and my home is also here. I will definitely not leave this city."
Zhou Chen said: "That's it. When you shared your work diary with me before, you were mostly happy, but in the past six months or so, although you didn't say anything, your emotions showed that you were tired and boring, so
I will tell you this only today."
As the person closest to Huang Yimei, he is the one who can best feel the changes in Huang Yimei's enthusiasm for work.
Huang Yimei thought for a long time, then yelled, shook her head, stopped thinking about anything else, and became entangled with Zhou Chen again.
We have been together for more than two years, and now Huang Yimei often stays at Zhou Chen's house. Parents Huang Jianzhi and Wu Yuejiang have no words to say about this and are open-minded.
The Huang family's parents are indeed a very good pair of parents. They hardly interfere with their affairs. Although they have been dating for more than two years, they do not urge them to get married. Everything is left to them to handle on their own. They just do it regularly.
Inviting Zhou Chen to dinner, the two of them seemed to regard Zhou Chen as their son-in-law.
But compared to him and Huang Yimei, they had completely different attitudes towards Huang Zhenhua.
