Clear and bright, unwilling to give up love and freedom
Seeing Qiyue's determination, He Qing said, "Since that's the case, Sister Qing won't say much. You've already said you'll take care of the follow-up matters, so Sister Qing can't be unkind. So, like Sister Qing said, I'll return all your investment, and when you leave, Sister Qing will give you a big red envelope, no less than your salary, as a token of my gratitude for your efforts during this period."
"Actually, I should have been more decisive when I joined, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten into so much trouble. Forget it, like I said, I deserved it. The blisters on my feet are all my own fault. I didn't listen to anyone who advised me and was willing to go through this. However, in another half a month, it will all be over. Finally, I can leave."
At that time, Qi Yue was ready to give up all her plans just to redeem her freedom. Of course, He Qing also lived up to the words "benevolence and righteousness".
Just after Qi Yue left, He Qing told Li Qingge the result of the conversation.
"Sister Qing, I won't persuade you anymore. Qiyue's business ability is still very strong."
"Qingge, do you know what Qiyue's strongest point is besides being more powerful than you?"
"have no idea."
"I can bear it."
The content of the WeChat message that Qiyue secretly saw at that time was very simple, just two sentences.
Li Qingge: "Sister Qing, did you really say that to her yesterday?"
He Qing: "I have to control her like this, otherwise I won't be able to control her in the future."
"She probably changed her tune because she wasn't sure how much I had actually seen. I was nervous, so I didn't see much before she came out. But I kind of got the idea."
Walking out of the studio, Qi Yue stood at the bus stop and looked up at the sky.
"The night sky is a little brighter today, but there are still no stars. The road leading to the bus stop is not that difficult to walk on, and the street lights seem to be brighter than before."
It's another day off, it's quiet and I feel pretty good being alone.
"Qiyue, I'm going on a date today. What are your plans? Why don't you come with me?"
"No, I don't want to be a light bulb. I have something to do."
Wen Jia said worriedly, "Don't overeat. I'll come back and check your apps."
"Don't worry, I don't want to hear you scold me."
Just after Wenjia left, Lan's mother sent a video.
"Yueyue, you have a day off today, what are you going to do?"
"I met up with a former colleague today and wanted to catch up."
"Go out more. The weather is nice here today. I'm planning to go sit with your aunt later."
"Okay, I'll be out for some fresh air in a bit. Don't worry, I won't get moldy."
"Mom won't say any more to you. Go quickly and we'll talk when you come back in the evening."
"Yes, dear mother."
Get on the bus, no need to rush, empty your mind, and just quietly feel the long-lost calmness.
Standing in front of the gate of Yangbin Yunyi Primary School, Qi Yue looked up at the sky, then at the surroundings. Did it seem similar to the first time she came? So, let's say goodbye.
"Hello, do you have any questions?"
Qi Yue had seen this person before. He was the new principal hired when she left.
"Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Chen."
While he was talking, Mr. Chen came out and said, "Qiyue is here. Come on, come in and sit down."
"People always cling to the past, but there are some differences. I live in the past, limiting myself and preventing myself from moving on. And these two seniors of mine are still clinging to each other's pasts. As for me, I still hope for the best for you, me, and everyone else. I will not get involved in your past and will just listen quietly."
After chatting for a while, Mr. Chen said, "Qiyue, come back and keep your previous position."
"Mr. Chen, I'm leaving this industry, but if you have any teaching difficulties, I can help. Just let me know."
Although Qi Yue was unwilling to admit her previous betrayal, it seemed that this was the only word that was appropriate. No matter what the reason was, now thinking about her previous behavior, it was no different from kicking someone when they were down and being treacherous.
"However, although you still gave me the same position as before, but with a lower salary, I am still a little tempted. But, I can't come back. If you don't need my help, this will be the last time we see each other. From now on, you and I will return to the crowd and become passers-by in each other's lives." This was Qi Yue's last monologue in his heart when he left the campus.
After walking out of the campus, Qi Yue looked up at the exceptionally bright sun.
"We probably won't see each other again, so I'll just take good care to remember these fragments of my life."
Maybe because it was already November, the wind was a little chilly.
"Thank you for your trust. I'm sorry for failing to live up to your expectations. Best wishes and take care."
A few days later was the last day Qi Yue worked with He Qing and Li Qingge.
"Qingge, did you know? Qiyue has returned to the previous campus."
"Really, what did you say?"
When Qi Yue came in, she saw the two people's eyes full of questions.
He Qing spoke first: "Let's have a meal together later to welcome our new teacher and also to show Qi Yue some appreciation. I have something to say before the teaching assistant finishes class. Let's go to the office."
You see, it’s not that easy to walk out of this door.
Qi Yue, He Qing and Li Qingge were sitting in the office at this time.
"Qiyue, you know, when we set up the studio together before, it was your own will, and no one forced you." He Qing spoke first.
Qi Yue was puzzled and said, "I know."
"So, I've always been fair in everything I do. Even if you leave me today, I won't have done anything to let you down. I'm not afraid of what you might say to your former friends or company."
"So someone saw it. There really is no impenetrable wall in the world. But, so what? I dare to do it and I dare to say it. If you ask, I will answer."
Qi Yue replied calmly, "Sister Qing, I don't seem to have much energy to dwell on things I don't like. Besides, you've also noticed that I'm really lazy with words right now."
After listening to this, He Qing exchanged glances with Li Qingge.
"Qiyue, as you know, I have already fully refunded your investment, but there are still some accounts we need to settle."
"Even before the opening, we still have to share the extra expenses related to work that have not been recorded in the accounts." Li Qingge said quickly.
"Okay, no problem, let's do the math."
"I calculated it earlier, and it's probably less than 2,000 yuan. It depends on whether you want to transfer it or pay in cash. Also, don't think the studio is taking advantage of you. After all, under normal circumstances, it's impossible for you to get your entire investment back."
Qi Yue glanced at Qing Ge and thought, "That's you, not me. There's still a difference between us."
"Qingge, Qingge, it turns out we are not the same kind of people. I once approached you sincerely, and I thought we would become friends."
Qi Yue said to Li Qingge, "Neither."
Then he turned his head and looked at He Qing: "Sister Qing, Qi Yue wants to ask you, do you mean what you said?"
"As long as I say it, I will admit it. I, He Qing, am a person who dares to act and dares to take responsibility."
Qi Yue nodded and responded: "You said before that as long as I stick with this place and get a teaching assistant, you will give me a big red envelope, and it will be no less than my salary. It still counts, right?"
Li Qingge looked at He Qing in surprise, as if he had not known this before.
He Qing was stunned for a moment, then continued, "Yes, I admit it, I said it."
"I not only stayed until the teaching assistant arrived, but also trained the new teacher and stayed for an extra half month. You are being righteous, so I understand. I don't want the red envelope, so please pay me back."
At this point, there is no need to pretend to be a good person. After all, none of them are easy to deal with.
He Qing thought for a moment and said, "Qingge, I'll personally make up the 2,000 yuan debt as a token of my gratitude to Qiyue for the last time. But, Qiyue, this is just one time. If this happens again, you can't let it go like this."
Qi Yue smiled but said nothing.
I thought to myself, "It doesn't matter. Your last words are not directed at me, a person who is about to leave. It doesn't hurt to listen to them."
A private restaurant.
"The lighting in this private room is really warm. I like warm light because I hate the cold."
Qi Yue: "I toast to Sister Qing. I'm very grateful for your care and support during this period. I will always remember it. I also toast to my former comrades. I thank you for the time we fought side by side. I will treasure it. Finally, I toast to our new teachers. I have shed my tears here. I care deeply about you. I can't accompany you any longer. I hope you can find your own direction in life here and make the most of your life and this journey."
"After drinking this cup, we will never meet again. I have not been able to become the value you expected, and similarly, I have not found the meaning I was looking for."
Wen Jia hurriedly opened the door and shouted to Qi Yue, "How is it? It's your last day. How do you feel? Did it make you feel uncomfortable?"
"Not bad. I've redeemed myself, I'm free, I'm liberated."
"Acid, I'm going to take a shower. Let's indulge together later, you see."
Looking in the direction of Wen Jia's finger, the table was filled with a feast for the taste buds.
Wen Jia winked and danced as she walked towards the bathroom, saying, "I won't go to work tomorrow, and I won't sleep tonight unless I get drunk."
Dudu
It was a message from He Qing.
"No matter what happens in the future, I still hope your dreams come true!"
"Thank you, Sister Qing. I received your blessing and wish you happiness and good health."
"As time goes by, everything is over! Maybe you feel bullied, but I also had many reasons to do so. I'm sorry!"
Qi Yue put down her phone and looked at the night sky outside the window.
"Yeah, it's very quiet. I like it. Just like this, quietly, alone, my heart is also quiet."
"If I had walked towards you, I might not have walked so smoothly. I have learned my lesson. Likewise, thank you for meeting me, and take care of yourselves."
"My child, Dad hopes that you will live a clear and bright life, and never give up love and freedom."
