Mu Zixi was in the supermarket, wanting to buy bamboo chopsticks. She was in the middle of comparing prices when someone suddenly spoke to her. She was so frightened that her heart tightened and the chopsticks in her hand almost fell to the ground.
"Zixi, what a coincidence. Are you shopping at the supermarket?”Mu Zixi turned around and saw that it was Guo Lijian.
"Director Guo, it's you!" she replied politely.
"What do you mean by 'you'? I'm not much older than you. Didn't I tell you not to call me' you'? I don't want anyone to call me old.”
"Alright." Mu Zixi replied embarrassedly.
"By the way, Xiao Mu, next week is the 40th anniversary of our Long Corporation. The company has to celebrate it well. There will be a party tonight, and all the employees will have to attend.”
"Thank you. If you didn't tell me, I really wouldn't have known.”
"You're welcome. The company will inform you, but it'll be a little later. The word 'you' sounds better."
"Alright, I'll use 'you' next time.
"What are you guys talking about? Lijian, I knew you would come here today, so I came too.”At this moment, a young and beautiful girl walked over. She smiled as she walked. She was very beautiful, but compared to Shen Xiangmi's beauty, she was less dignified and more playful. Mu Zixi always liked to compare Shen Xiangmi to any good-looking woman. 'Guo Lijian actually likes lively girls,' thought Mu Zixi. However, this was nothing. There were many people in this world who were good-looking, but they were not as likable as women who looked lively. She had seen many examples.
"Eh, who is this?" The girl asked curiously when she saw Mu Zixi.
"Colleagues." Guo Lijian said and turned to look at the kitchenware on the shelf.
"I work in the same company as President Guo.”Mu Zixi thought to herself that Guo Lijian already had a girlfriend. The girl called Cai Xueqing's mischievous face appeared in front of her again. Then what was the relationship between him and this girl? He asked curiously,"And you are?"
"Can't you tell that I'm her girlfriend? My name is Xu Jingjing!”The girl giggled.
"Oh." When Mu Zixi heard her say this, she thought to herself, could it be that Guo Lijian was two-timing? As a woman, she understood women very well. This was not good. If the boat capsized, she might lose everything. If he had nothing, didn't he still have a spare tire? Mu Zixi's face turned red when he thought of this, but he was immediately shocked by his own terrifying thoughts. How could she, Mu Zixi, fall for a playboy? Moreover, she was not someone who could be a spare tire. Ever since she was young, no matter how good something was or how much she liked it, as long as she was sure that it did not belong to her, she would completely forget about it. She believed that it was the same for love. She was not a person who could become humble for love.
"He just doesn't like to shop with women, so I came to catch him.”Xu Jingjing rebuked.
"Oh."
No matter what Guo Lijian's view on love was, he was still very good to her. His character was still very good. One day, she must find a chance to tell him. Guo Lijian was her benefactor, so she couldn't leave him in the lurch. Mu Zixi's mind was wandering, so much so that she didn't hear what Xu Jingjing said at all. She could only respond with an 'oh', but she was afraid that she would make a fool of herself, so she immediately said,"I'm going to the second floor to buy some groceries. I'll leave first.”
Mu Zixi immediately went to the second floor. He didn't care about their reactions.
Guo Lijian had always taken care of her, so every time she was alone with him, Mu Zixi would always feel a little awkward and unnatural. Later, when Mu Zixi found out that she had a good impression of Guo Lijian and that he had a girlfriend, she deliberately avoided him. When he saw the beautiful girl with big eyes say that she was his girlfriend, Mu Zixi's feelings for Guo Lijian were completely extinguished. She was thinking about how to persuade him in the future. Mu Zixi went up to the second floor. Seeing that they did not follow him, she heaved a sigh of relief. Cai Xueqing, Xu Jingjing, no matter which one was the woman he liked, it had nothing to do with her. She just needed to persuade him not to be a playboy.
Mu Zixi was very glad that he did not meet them again. She walked out of the supermarket and saw people walking on the streets. Mu Zixi placed the bags of fresh food on the bicycle but didn't ride it. She felt depressed for no reason. She kept feeling that her heart was empty, as if something was missing. Very quickly, she understood. Yes, the stability of the present world. Thinking of this, Mu Zixi became more and more disappointed. She needed to find something to do. Bees did not have the leisure to be sad, and busy people would not be sad about spring and autumn.
She quickly found a job for herself. As she pushed the cart, she carefully observed the passersby. Their attire, their form; Their faces, and then she guessed their occupations; Their nature, their mood, their living conditions. She had been planning to write something these days, looking for inspiration. She was convinced that this work would be of great benefit to her writing.
On the street, most of the young people were in a hurry. The older ones were more relaxed, but their expressions were serious. Moreover, many non-motor vehicle owners never looked at the red light and rushed through when they saw no car. It turned out that the people living in the city were as hasty as her, and their expressions were numb. This was the fast-paced life of the modern world. They were really unlike the mountain people from Grandma's house. They seemed to be in a good mood when walking on the mountain path. They greeted acquaintances warmly and smiled at strangers when they saw them. She would be happy if she didn't see people and only saw some trees, grass, flowers, and so on. Life in the countryside was indeed leisurely. If the people in the city were like that, would they be treated as fools? Even if he would not be treated as a fool, he would probably be eliminated! After all, the poor had to earn money. They had to spend money everywhere in the city, and the rich probably wanted more money!
The sky darkened. Mu Zixi watched for a while before riding her bicycle. She rode on the wheels as fast as she could and quickly drove towards the rented house.
Shen Xiangmi was already tidying herself up in her rented room during the day shift. Seeing her, Mu Zixi thought of the gown and quickly asked for her opinion.
"Xiangmi, our company is holding an anniversary party. What dress should I buy?”Seeing that Shen Xiangmi didn't answer, she said," Gowns are so expensive. Sigh. If it's cheap, I'm afraid I won't be able to wear it."
"How about renting one?" Shen Xiangmi thought for a moment and said.
"Good idea. Where should I rent it?"
"I really don't know. There should be a store that specializes in renting clothes, or a photography shop?”
"Let me think. Where can I find such a shop? There seems to be one on the west end of the street, but I think it's very expensive.”
"By the way, I have a junior high school classmate who sells gowns online. Why don't you go to her and buy one? It wasn't expensive, and the design was not bad. It was quite trendy. If he rented one now, he would be able to buy one for about a day without any acquaintances.”
"You mean, can you really ask your friend for help?”
"Yes, I want her to teach me how to open an online store when she's free.”
"I plan to use my spare time to open an online shop. When your friend teaches you, you can teach me.”
"Yes, sure. When online stores first started, I heard her say that it was easy to do. Now, it might be a little harder.”
"It's okay. If your friend can do it well, I believe we will do it well too.”
"Yes."
"I have to buy a computer first." Mu Zixi said dejectedly. Other than her living expenses, she had sent all her previous salary to her mother. She had to save even more money to buy a computer. She was already living frugally. She really did not know where she could squeeze out the money from. However, since she had this idea, she would definitely think of a way to do it. She thought of using her spare time to submit articles or find a part-time job on the weekends to earn some extra money. She was excited, as if a computer would soon belong to her.
"You earn a lot of money. Save it. You can buy it soon.”
"You're right. If you can't bear to invest, how can there be any returns? You have to buy a computer. Now, we'll go to the internet cafe later.”
"Yes, alright."
The next day, at the Fashion Sharing Internet Cafe.
"I'll log in to EFL first. I've saved her shop's website in it.”Shen Xiangmi said as she opened the EFL app.
"Alright."
As soon as she opened the EFL app, the message box kept flashing. She realized that Jiang Qing had actually requested to add her as a friend. She was extremely excited. This was the first time she had been on EFL since she was rejected last time. Their company's computers didn't allow them to log into EFL, and because she was disappointed and didn't want to face it, she didn't come to the internet cafe. She used her mouse to quickly click on the agreement button, but she could not agree because the other party's application had exceeded the time limit and was not processed. She tried hard to recall Jiang Qing's number, but she couldn't. Forget it, I'll help Mu Zixi settle the matter first.
"I sent it to you. Take a look." Shen Xiangmi sent the website to Mu Zixi, but she kept thinking about Jiang Qing.
"Wow, they're really all selling gowns. What a coincidence.”Mu Zixi clicked into the online store and saw a dazzling array of mid-length gowns. She was overjoyed. Most importantly, the price was affordable. She could basically accept it.
Actually, Shen Xiangmi had a few high school classmates who were doing online stores. However, what Mu Zixi needed was a dress, so she gave her this one. Shen Xiangmi was a person who did not like to talk much. Now that she still had Jiang Qing's matter in her heart, she only wanted to remain silent. She had wanted to tell Mu Zixi that Jiang Qing had added her as a EFL player, but she remembered that he had rejected her so decisively at that time. Now that she could no longer add him as a EFL player, it meant that they were really not fated. So what if she wanted to fight for it? So what if she wanted to prove it? So what if she wanted to see him? She could not contact him at all. She finally calmed down a little. Was she going to disturb her peace again because of this impossible thing? She stopped thinking about it and focused on looking at the gown.
"Xiangmi, what do you think of this red gauze?”
"I think the off-white one below looks better. It's high-waisted, and the waist is very small. The skirt is very fairy, and it suits you very well.”Shen Xiangmi felt that red was too flamboyant, and her waist was not high enough. Only a tall person could wear it.
Mu Zixi looked at it and did not like it very much. She did not like white things. They were easy to get dirty and the color was too light. However, she thought that she would only wear it for one day anyway. Moreover, she had never had any taste in clothes. If she wore it wrongly, she might be laughed at by others. Hence, he decided to take that one.
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Mu Zixi silently stared at the gown for a while. After she made the reservation, Shen Xiangmi told the shop owner that she was a friend. The high school classmate was generous and immediately lowered her price by 30 yuan. In the end, the dress was sold for 60 yuan. It was really cheap.
The clothes arrived three days before Zhou Qing. Shen Xiangmi's taste was indeed good. Although this dress was not tailor-made for Mu Zixi, it fit her very well. It especially highlighted Mu Zixi's small waist, which matched her elegant and delicate temperament. Although the material of the gown was a little rough, there were many threads, and the threads were not smooth enough, it was still not bad after being carefully repaired by Mu Zixi.
