Chapter 463 Resignation and Going to Hong Kong 1 Submitted resignation application to the school leadership...
At the class reunion before the Chinese New Year, although Yao Zhizhi met Ji Dongqi, there was no communication between the two.
So when Ji Dongqi took the initiative to say hello, it should be considered the first conversation between the two after graduation.
Yao Zhizhi didn't want to disturb the infatuated couple, so she smiled and stood up. "It's you. Sorry, I didn't see you chatting with your friends here. You guys continue."
Ji Dongqi smiled awkwardly and instinctively wanted to explain something, but then he thought it was better to be misunderstood.
He let the female student pull his windbreaker, as if there really was some touching love story between them.
After Yao Zhizhi walked away, his face turned cold: "Let go, I say it again, I don't have any feelings for you."
The girl's name is Pu Wenhui. She is a senior in the philosophy department this year. She and Ji Dongqi are childhood sweethearts. Even she herself can't remember how many times she has confessed her love to him, nor how many times she has been rejected.
When he rejected her in middle school, Ji Dongqi could still give her some moral lectures, such as how studying is important and future is the most important thing. But when he went to college, he was too lazy to explain the reasons. He would only emphasize one sentence over and over again - he had no romantic feelings for her, only a friendship as they grew up together.
But she is not satisfied with friendship, she wants love, Ji Dongqi's love.
If it were someone else, she wouldn't want this thing. She would rather be an old aunt, keep her heart and love closed for the rest of her life, and focus on her own path.
What a pity, this is Ji Dongqi, the best Ji Dongqi!
In order to give herself a glimmer of hope, she chose this place without hesitation when filling out her application form and became Ji Dongqi's schoolmate and junior.
She thought the opportunity had come, but unfortunately it didn't.
He spent the whole day either hanging out with a group of roommates or with more classmates, and she didn't even have a chance to talk to him alone.
She also thought about confessing her feelings in public, but if she did so, wouldn't that put Ji Dongqi in a difficult position?
If he didn't like her but agreed to her under pressure from public opinion, then even if they were together, there would be no good result.
If he liked her, there would be no need for her to give up her girlish modesty and express her love publicly.
So no matter which situation it was, publicly expressing love was an extremely childish and rash act. She could only seize the opportunity when he came to the school to do something and say something in private.
Unfortunately, today was no different from the past, and he rejected her again.
Fortunately, he still saved her face and did not embarrass her in front of his classmates.
She clutched the hem of his windbreaker tightly, hesitated for a long time, and finally let go.
The palm-sized face is covered with crystal tears of heartbreak. It is obviously a baby face that is ignorant of the world, but because of the unrequited love, it looks particularly vicissitudes of life and haggard.
She was unwilling to give in, and asked in near despair: "Tell me the truth, do you have someone in your heart? Who is that person? Do I know him?"
Ji Dongqi turned his back, straightened his clothes, looked at the frozen river silently, and advised: "Don't waste your time on me. I won't get married before I'm forty. Just like that, I'm leaving."
"Don't go!" Pu Wenhui stepped forward and opened his arms to stop Ji Dongqi.
The lake in early spring is lifeless, and the frozen water is like a cold mirror, reflecting the joys and sorrows of the world.
This girl, crazy about love, mustered up her courage and asked again, "Why don't you answer? Are you feeling guilty? You have someone in your heart, right? Who is it? Tell me so I can give up!"
Ji Dongqi suddenly laughed: "You are so grown up, but you are still so childish. What qualifications do you have to ask about my affairs? Can you stop messing around?"
Faced with such accusations, Pu Wenhui did not get angry. She reached out to wipe away her tears and forced a bitter smile: "Why am I not qualified? Don't forget, the parents of our two families have long--"
Before he finished speaking, Ji Dongqi walked away without looking back.
He hated jokes about arranged marriages the most, and they made him want to vomit.
She is clearly an intellectual of the new era, but she talks about the feudal dregs of the old society, so it is reasonable for him to reject her - she doesn't understand him at all.
How can there be any possibility of development between two people who can't get along with each other? Don't joke, he is not a scumbag like Lu Yihong. As long as his body feels good, nothing else matters.
He is first and foremost an individual, a person with self-respect and self-love, and a person with spiritual pursuits.
He will not indulge in depravity, nor will he waste others' time for his desires, nor will he use his parents' orders to decide his lifelong affairs. He will not settle for second best and just find someone with better conditions to spend his life with just because he cannot get the love he wants.
If he meets Pu Wenhui again in the future, he will not bother to say anything more.
When he was almost at the school gate, he met Yao Zhizhi again.
She didn't wait for Qi Changxiao, but walked towards the school gate alone. Judging from her leisurely appearance, she was probably in no hurry to go back. Maybe she had been waiting for too long and wanted to relax and relieve her boredom.
After all, he was taller than her and had longer legs, so he was shoulder to shoulder with her in just a few steps.
This time, it was Yao Zhizhi who took the initiative to speak: "You don't seem happy. What's wrong? Are you having trouble at work?"
Ji Dongqi smiled. She clearly saw him being harassed by a girl, but she didn't say a word. This showed that she had no intention of prying into his private affairs and also showed that she gave him enough respect.
This is the sense of propriety in social interaction for adults, but unfortunately not many people understand it.
He was happy to accept her favor and replied, "In a place where seniority is everything, there are too many rules and too many constraints. It's easy to trip a landmine if you're not careful. Sometimes you don't even know what the landmine is. It's exhausting."
Yao Zhizhi sighed silently. "It's always like this. I originally thought school would be better, more pure, but in the end, I almost got reported and lost my job. Anyway, keep a low profile in everything. Even the most outstanding tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. It's human nature."
"You are very disappointed with your current job." Ji Dongqi did not speak in a tone of verification, but rather an affirmation, an objective statement.
Yao Zhizhi did not deny it. She sighed and said, "Maybe my brother is right. Instead of wasting time here, I might as well go to his place and try my luck."
"Your third brother is really capable. You will definitely learn a lot from working with him. If you want to go, go ahead. The current policies do have too many restrictions. You are not the type to follow orders. You will feel very uncomfortable." Ji Dongqi did not deliberately pretend not to know this classmate. He worked in a core institution and naturally had a high level of interpersonal skills. It was not surprising that he could analyze the character of an old classmate.
If he pretended to be naive and didn't understand her difficulties like a fool, that would be really wrong - how could such a stupid person be chosen by the core agency?
So when he said this, he was not worried at all that Yao Zhizhi would think too much.
Yao Zhizhi didn't really think much about it. She was just curious: "It sounds like you know my third brother's movements very well."
"My uncle mentioned it to me a few times."
"Your uncle is very good to you."
"Yes, uncle treats me as well as his own son."
"Is that why you joined the agency? You don't want to disappoint him. In fact, you are not the kind of person who just does errands. Otherwise, you wouldn't have such a bad relationship with Lu Yihong."
"Well, my uncle has high hopes for me."
"But you are not happy. People live for themselves. If one day you really don't want to do it anymore, I will support you." Yao Zhizhi stopped and looked at Ji Dongqi seriously.
This was the first time she had looked at this classmate so directly and directly after knowing him for so long.
Ji Dongqi didn't expect her to say that, but he wasn't surprised either - the fact that she could attract him must be due to her strengths. She was sincere, intelligent, and she dared to fight against the injustice of fate. She had the ability to carve out a niche for herself. She was simply the master of her own destiny.
Her beauty was her least advantage.
Now, she is willing to respect his wishes as an independent individual, and this respect is not preachy or demanding. She just said that when he is willing to choose to do what he wants, she will support him.
He really...
If you have a true friend in life, what else can you ask for?
Even if that is someone else's wife, as long as there is understanding and respect, that is enough.
He couldn't hide his smile at all, and joy emanated from every inch of his skin, as if spring had arrived in grand style and all things were reviving.
He looked back at those sincere eyes seriously and couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of you, just a few words touched my heart."
"Haha, let's just talk about the facts. You're suited to starting your own business and being a leader."
"You can set an example for me first." Ji Dongqi smiled and looked back at the distance. The man who had gotten there first had already finished his meeting and was riding his bike towards the school gate. His conversation with Yao Zhizhi should be over, but he didn't want to end it abruptly, as that would make him look guilty.
He smiled and waved at Qi Changxiao.
Qi Changxiao was a little puzzled. Why did Ji Dongqi also come to the school to do business? He probably wanted to convey some instructions from the higher authorities.
He stopped beside Ji Dongqi, his long legs stepping on the curb, and asked with a smile: "Have you found lunch? Do you want to come to my house for a meal?"
"No, I have an appointment with some friends to have dinner." Ji Dongqi refused. Although he was rational and sober, he didn't want to make trouble and get himself a big jar of aged vinegar.
He'll choke himself to death.
It’s better to keep a safe distance.
Qi Changxiao didn't force it, after all, their relationship wasn't that serious. But it wouldn't be nice if he just carried Yao Zhizhi away, after all, Ji Dongqi had helped Yao Zhizhi before.
Otherwise, why was Teacher Xiao transferred? This kind of relationship-related household is really not something that ordinary people can touch.
So he simply got off and pushed the bike, and the three of them walked on the road together.
While chatting, the couple sent Ji Dongqi all the way to the station and then rode back on their bikes.
On the platform, Ji Dongqi did not look back at the woman who was walking away.
He was not a naive child who thought that taking one more look could make up for some regrets.
No, it can't make up for it at all.
This kind of regret will definitely be a lifelong pain.
But it's just a dull pain.
He didn't want her to know, nor did he want to interfere with her life.
He will follow his own path step by step.
If there is intersection, talk. If there is no intersection, keep moving forward and never stop.
Maybe one day, he will meet another person who understands him, and then he will calmly enter a new chapter in his life.
*
Yao Zhizhi discussed with Qi Changxiao and decided that there was really no need to continue with their current job.
However, it is not a good idea for them to launch a surprise attack like this, after all, the school is short of staff.
After much deliberation, the two of them endured another half year in their unproductive jobs. When summer vacation was approaching, they submitted their resignation applications to the school leaders.
In this way, one summer vacation is enough time for the school to find employees to replace them.
