The world of three people is crowded after all
Afterwards, Principal He talked about her life: the smooth sailing in the first half, the turbulent times in the middle, and the calmness now. It was really like a book, a book that recorded the separations and reunions, the pain and joy of sorrow and joy.
There's always a moment that touches you, a word that pierces deep into your heart. He Xiao, who studied psychology, saw through Qi Yue and found exactly what she could accept.
"Principal He, am I a valuable person to you?"
"Of course, I, He Qing, never misjudge people."
Qi Yue quietly looked at the strong and courageous woman in front of her who had experienced half a lifetime of ups and downs: "He Xiao, I promise you, I will accompany you for a while."
"This is the biggest promise I can make to you, and once I say something, nothing can stop me." Qi Yue told herself in her heart.
In fact, Qi Yue also had selfish motives. At this time, his uncle's factory ran into difficulties and was involved in debt. Qi Yue thought, if I had a lot of abilities, could I do something for the family? Would my deceased father also be able to rest in peace? After all, this was the brother he thought about until his death.
Also, her younger brother, Lan Damei, needed money because he wanted to invest in a business. Qiyue thought this was a good idea, as one of the two siblings had to get closer to their dream. Qiyue's dream was too abstract and could not be realized in this lifetime, so she pooled her own money and some borrowed money and gave it all to him. This was the first time Qiyue borrowed money, and also the first time Damei borrowed money, which left a deep shadow on the two siblings.
One night a few days later, Qi Yue was still wandering downstairs of 1102.
At this time, He Qing and Li Qingge had just talked on the phone because they had not received Qi Yue's resignation notice.
"Sister Qing, do you think Qiyue will go with us?" Li Qingge asked He Qing as he got closer.
"She will, because she will do what she promised. She is a person who values promises very much."
Li Qingge looked at He Qing's determined eyes and said nothing.
Ring Ring Ring
"Qi Yue, why haven't you come back yet? Are you going to rebel? Who allowed you to stay out all night?" The second sister in the family was furious at Qi Yue who was about to stay out all night.
"Second sister, I'm downstairs. I'll be upstairs in a moment."
Sure enough, after a while, the phone rang. It was He Qing.
"Lan Qiyue, let me tell you, don't think I can't open my studio without you. What do you mean? Why haven't you resigned in all these days?"
The person on the other end of the phone was really angry. Without any opening remarks, he just started questioning people over the phone. Qi Yue was humble again because of the promise.
"It's like this, Principal He, I had an appointment with Mr. Chen today, but he couldn't come because he had something to do."
"If you want to come with me, do it as soon as possible. There are teachers who want to go with me. I tell you this because I value you. Don't be ungrateful."
Qi Yue was at a loss for words. It turned out she was being ungrateful, as if she was the one being embarrassed. Qi Yue was just like that. You couldn't give her time to think, and you certainly couldn't try to override her thoughts. The implication was that she wouldn't take any hardship.
He Qing might have sensed something was wrong with Qi Yue, so she changed her tone: "Qi Yue, you know, Mr. Chen has already started recruiting a principal. He has a strong foundation, and it will only take a while for him to recover after a new principal is replaced. As for me, I really only need you and Qingge to help me. Besides, I trust my own people, but I really can't trust others. Just think of it as helping Sister Qing, and helping you as well."
Qi Yue is a person who only responds to soft words and not to harsh ones.
"Sister Qing, don't worry, I'll talk to Mr. Chen tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, he still didn't go upstairs.
Dudu
"Qi Yue, don't hesitate. Sister Qing has thought so much about us. Besides, he will get the lion's share of the investment, and there is no risk for us. Where else can we find such a good thing?" Li Qingge's message came really timely.
"Qingge, I seem to have made Sister Qing angry just now."
"Qiyue, don't worry, Sister Qing won't be mad at you. She's just mad at you for being so indecisive. You obviously have a better choice, but you chose one over the other."
"Yeah, I'm determined. Isn't that who I am? I'm stubborn and insistent, living on memories. Maybe this is an opportunity to find a new direction in life."
"Qingge, don't worry about choosing a location. I will do it as soon as possible."
After entering the house, I saw Qi Yue who was in a state of restlessness.
"Qiyue, what's wrong with you?"
"Second sister, I seem to have done something wrong, but I don't know what it is."
Qi Yue told Wen Jia everything. Wen Jia has always been calm and objective, and has a clearer view of things.
"Qiyue, my opinions can no longer influence you, right?"
Qi Yue sat on the sofa without saying a word, looking at the person standing in front of her.
"I disagree, because you still have to adapt, adapt to new people, new environments, and new things. Don't overestimate your current mental and spiritual state."
"Yeah, I'm still not normal. I still cry silently in the middle of the night, cry quietly in the shower over the sound of the water, feel heartbroken for no reason, have nightmares late at night, and often feel that life is meaningless. I've finally gotten used to this state of me, do I really have to change again?"
"And why did they choose you? Was it just because you have strong business skills? Or is it because you are a hardworking person who is determined to do your job and willing to work like a slave?"
Wen Jia sat next to Qi Yue, holding her hand. "Don't be so self-righteous. Don't make decisions when you're sad, and don't make promises when you're happy. No one is worth sacrificing your own happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy. Those who make you sacrifice like this don't deserve your kindness."
"It's come to this now. No matter what you choose, it won't be right. Just follow your heart. Thank you, second sister, for being by my side and gently tending to my wounds."
the next day.
A figure has been walking back and forth at the front desk of the second campus for more than an hour. No doubt it is Qi Yue.
Now, when Qi Yue has something on her mind, she will walk around in circles, with an expressionless face, and it is impossible to tell whether she is happy or sad.
"Principal, what are you doing there? How long have you been gone?" Teacher Baoer asked as she passed by the front desk.
Qi Yue's mind was completely blank at this moment. She was only thinking about how to tell Mr. Chen about her resignation. She mechanically replied, "Ah, nothing. I ate too much."
This conversation took place not in the office but in a classroom where Qiyue had previously painted murals. At the time, Mr. Chen joked, "Qiyue, you're like this ship. From up close, you seem to be moving with direction and determination, but from a distance, you seem aimless and dreamlike."
"Qiyue, you've been running back and forth between the first and second campuses lately, which is really tiring. I came here today to tell you that I'm transferring you back to the first campus. Principal He has resigned, and you're familiar with that place, so you should go back."
"Just one step away, another step away. Mr. Chen, you are very good. Although there are so many problems in the operation and most of the promises have not been fulfilled, it doesn't matter. What I care about is that I was recruited by you. Even so, I still have to leave. I want to see what my value is and find a meaning." After thinking about it, he mustered up the courage.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. I'm afraid I'm going to let you down this time. I want to resign with you today for personal reasons."
Mr. Chen was obviously surprised, probably because he didn't expect Qi Yue to choose to resign. Yes, he was the one who hired her, and she didn't make things difficult for him at the salary meeting, so why did she suddenly choose to resign without any warning?
"Then can you tell me the specific reason? If it's about salary, don't worry about it. We will re-sign the contract, and the salary and benefits will be a level higher than before."
Qi Yue looked at the man in front of her who had experienced many ups and downs, and suddenly she felt reluctant to resign.
"But I have made a promise, but it's not to you. Sometimes, if you are a step late, the outcome will be different."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I'm afraid I'll let you down this time."
Mr. Chen said a lot afterwards, but it still couldn't shake Qiyue's determination. Although Qiyue was soft-hearted, she also had a stubborn temper.
"Well, since you've made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you any further. I hope you can find your own direction in life and remain your true self."
If the first person who came to Qiyue to make a promise was Mr. Chen, would the ending be different? But that's how life is, there are no ifs.
Just like that, a three-person group was formed. Before embarking on their journey, they had a celebratory dinner together, imagining a bright future. Sometimes, the friendship of girls is just that simple. Qiyue, on the other hand, enjoys simple things, enjoying moving forward together with a goal and direction. Even though these goals and directions are given by others, Qiyue is still willing to work hard for them and move forward with determination.
The three of them spent a month together, from site selection to simple decoration, and then to enrollment and opening. The next two months were spent on normal enrollment, teaching, researching courseware, and tidying up the classroom. Life was uneventful and pretty good.
As the chief investor, He Qing naturally treated the two sisters well, both in terms of salary and dividends. However, isn't it said that three women make a play? If it's a play, it must be performed.
If we have Yu, why do we have Liang? People will not always be willing to be cattle and horses, and things will not always remain the same.
At first, Qiyue treated this small studio with genuine care, and Li Qingge worked diligently, but it was a matter of chance, just like at the previous campus. One was skilled, the other accommodating, and the one who could do things could never outperform the one who could talk. While others were talking, you were working; while others were reminiscing and commenting, you were vaguely looking toward the future, clearly not fitting in.
That's it. If you can't fit into a circle, no matter how hard you try, you can't squeeze in. It's just like love. The world of three people is always crowded.
