Leader, let’s add each other as friends!
Later, Qiyue just did her job well and managed the work she was responsible for. But the difference was that Sister Qing was no longer as enthusiastic towards Qiyue as before. Qiyue couldn't find the reason and became more and more afraid to move forward. She was neither able to say nor do.
Suddenly one afternoon, He Qing had an in-depth conversation with Qi Yue. At this time, Qi Yue actually wanted to quit because she was very tired.
"Qiyue, you don't seem to be as enthusiastic about your work as before recently. Is there something wrong?"
"Sister Qing, no, maybe I'm a little tired recently. It's nothing. I'm sorry to have worried you."
"It's like this, Qiyue. You and Qingge are different. I invited you here, but Qingge wanted to come with me on her own. If you really have something on your mind, or you're not used to it and want to quit, just tell Sister Qing. I can guarantee that all your investments will be returned. Sister Qing won't blame you."
Qi Yue looked at the person before her, this person bathed in the sunset, and suddenly felt so warm. It was already the end of September, such a lonely season, and she would be going home in just over a month. Perhaps it was the warmth of the scene, or perhaps the tenderness of the person before her, but for the first and only time, Qi Yue trusted him and spoke from the bottom of her heart.
"Sister Qing, I'm fine. Can you give me some time off in November? My father passed away a while ago, and I need to go home to pay my respects."
He Qing looked at Qi Yue in surprise, but after a moment, he regained his composure. While handing Qi Yue a tissue, he said, "It's okay. But why didn't you tell me that before? If you're so upset about this that it affects your work, you need to adjust as soon as possible."
"Qiyue, you have to know that, just like the life experience I told you before, no one will be with you forever. You have to learn to grow up and get out of this on your own, otherwise it will affect your work and life."
"Both sentences mentioned work. I must be valuable, right? But is this value the value I want?" Qi Yue thought.
"I'm sorry, Sister Qing, please give me some time to think about it. If I'm really not suitable, I will withdraw. Also, can you keep it a secret for me? I'm not ready yet."
At that time, Qi Yue didn't know what to prepare. It would be more accurate to say that she had not fully accepted the fact that her father had passed away and didn't want to face it.
"That's certainly no problem, but Qiyue, I still hope you'll think it over carefully. After all, the deceased is gone, and you still have to start over. Besides, having a job you love isn't easy. This place was built by you, with our joint efforts."
"Yes, I have really paid a lot here, but I am really tired now. I can't figure it out. I don't know how to satisfy you, and I can't do it against my will. Maybe I made a mistake in the first step."
"Okay, Qiyue, go back and clean up the classroom first. Class will start soon."
When Qi Yue finished class, He Qing and Li Qingge walked in from the office together. Li Qingge glanced at Qi Yue, which made Qi Yue very uncomfortable, but He Qing still had a bright smile on his face and walked towards the student's parents.
At night, a friend request was accepted on the mobile phone.
Leader, add me as a friend! —Lan Hai (Lin Lei)
"I just changed my phone number again. It doesn't matter. I won't remember the digits anyway."
"Lin Lei, I haven't seen this person for a long time. It's been two years since we last met. What could be going on? Is it approved?"
Right now, Qiyue really wants to talk to someone, someone she'd better never see again. Not with the premise of revealing the truth, but just to talk, because she won't worry or be concerned.
Passed verification.
After that, they talked normally and naturally, like friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time. Whenever Qiyue mentioned Lin Lei's girlfriend, Lin Lei would talk about something else, which made Qiyue mistakenly think that Lin Lei had broken up with her. In order not to provoke the parties involved, she didn't mention it again.
"Qiyue, Qiyue, you're such a mess yourself, yet you still have the brains to think about others. I want to scold you." This was the accusation from Qiyue's rational side.
Time passes by you without leaving a trace, and life remains as usual.
Until one day two weeks later, when Qiyue was still preparing materials for the evening class, a WeChat message from Lin Lei gave Qiyue an extraordinary night.
Dudu
"Boss, I'm getting married."
Qiyue had thought it was just a normal WeChat message, and was somewhat looking forward to its contents. But when she saw the words, she recognized them, and her heart felt like it had been struck hard, aching.
"Get married, you want to get married, you added me on WeChat, and talked to me about all sorts of things for so long, I mistakenly thought you were heartbroken, and I tried to comfort you. Are you kidding me? Lin Lei, Lin Lei, I have so much anger that I have no place to vent." Qi Yue clenched the paintbrush in her hand.
Calm down, I need to calm down, Qi Yue thought to herself, "There are still classes to come, and the children will be here soon. Going to class without any emotions is what I must do as a teacher."
Afterwards, Qiyue didn't reply. Perhaps seeing that Qiyue hadn't sent any messages, Lin Lei jokingly said, "Boss, why don't you wish me well? I'm eagerly waiting for you."
After reading it, Qi Yue sneered, "Blessings, I must bless you. Wait until I think of what to say, I will definitely reply to you. People should be magnanimous."
After putting down her phone, she didn't want to read any more messages. Her chest tightened, and her heart ached again. To relieve her anxiety, Qi Yue walked around the classroom again and again. Qi Yue, already semi-isolated, was observed by He Qing and Li Qingge, who were chatting and laughing.
In this way, Qi Yue finished the class without any pain. When the get out of class was over, He Qing called her over for a talk.
"Qingge, please go first. Qiyue and I have something to say."
After Li Qingge left, He Qing took the initiative.
"Lan Qiyue, I'm asking you, can you do it? If not, I'll withdraw your shares and you'll leave. Who are you trying to show off your gloomy face to every day? And you're walking around the classroom like you're sick. Who are you trying to scare? It's like Qingge and I owe you something. I'm telling you, don't think I can't leave you just because you're capable. If you leave, will I, He Qing, be able to find another art teacher as good as you?"
It started too suddenly, and Qi Yue was a little at a loss. This made Qi Yue, who had been cautious recently, repeatedly think about what mistake she had made to annoy He Qing.
"Qiyue, even though you're skilled at your job, you're not as good as Li Qingge. Qingge is truly my own person. But you, you want this and that, you don't want to offend anyone, you're too smooth. Furthermore, you don't confide in anyone, and you don't talk about your family situation. You're just creating the illusion of a happy family, deceiving yourself and others."
Qi Yue, knowing that she was in the wrong, didn't know what to say. After all, her condition today did affect her work. Although it didn't affect the course results or the after-class services, it did affect her heart, which should have been devoted wholeheartedly, and she was no longer willing to be a slave.
Qi Yue has been silent ever since something happened at home. Seeing Qi Yue's silence, He Qing became even angrier: "I'm telling you, Lan Qi Yue, you just need to be taught..."
"I lack education. You are the first person to say that I, Lan Qiyue, lack education."
Qi Yue didn't care what He Qing said afterwards. She only knew, "You said I could do it, but you said I lacked education. Are you questioning my family education?"
Qi Yue threw the pen in her hand and yelled, "I'm telling you, you can criticize me, but you can't say I don't deserve an education."
At this moment, Qi Yue's eyes were bloodshot and she couldn't stop crying. She looked like a wounded little animal that still had the will to fight, struggling without giving in.
Perhaps He Qing hadn't anticipated such resistance from the usually good-tempered Qiyue. Qiyue had calmed down considerably recently, no longer harboring any thoughts of leaving. Under He Qing's guidance, she was gradually implementing all of her decisions. Meanwhile, He Qing was also slowly recruiting and training teaching assistants in case of emergency.
"Didn't you say I lacked an education? Then tell me, where did I lack an education? From childhood on, because I'm a girl, even if my family doted on me, they still put a lot of restrictions on me, for fear that I would make mistakes and go astray. Tell me, where was my fault? If I was wrong, I will admit it, apologize to you, and change. But if I'm not wrong, I won't admit it even if you break my bones."
"Today, please tell me where I, Lan Qiyue, lack education. Also, what are those illusions you mentioned? Has my family caused you any trouble? Have I ever missed work because of family matters? I just don't want to think about sad things, so I don't mention them. Whenever people ask me, I just say, 'Everything is fine.' How come, now, I, Lan Qiyue, am wrong to even say 'Everything is fine'? Well, if this is all an illusion I gave you, then what illusions have you given me? Or has it all been fake all along?"
He Qing said unyieldingly, "Since you've actually mentioned this, why don't you just talk about your recent performance? Have you been running this studio well? After cleaning your classroom, managing your students, and doing your job, do you completely ignore everything else? Lan Qiyue, don't forget that besides being a teacher, you're also an investor. If there's a loss, you'll also have a share."
"Also, I haven't hidden anything from you. I've been honest with you about my family, and I'm sincere about starting a business with you two. I'm not ashamed of anyone."
Never let Lan Qiyue regain consciousness, she is so rational that you are afraid.
