Why it never ends

Chapter 335 Old Acquaintance
A few minutes later, Su Lei and Turan appeared from different directions.When they found Hesta and Anna, they all yelled "Jane!" at the same time.

Turan brought back Hesta's uniform jacket, which she draped casually on the back of Anna's wheelchair—Zero returned with Turan.Zero leaned over and whispered something in Anna's ear, and Anna adjusted the direction of the wheelchair calmly.

"Are you okay on the ground?" Turan asked.

"It's hard to say," Anna said before Hesta said, "If you don't come back, she might go crazy?"

"I... no!" Hesta looked at Anna with some dissatisfaction, and changed the subject, "How is the underground... have you encountered any enemies?"

"Completely..." Turan shook his head and walked to Zero's side, hugging the girl's shoulders, "But Zero really helped a lot!"

Turan excitedly described their actions underground. She first caught up with Si Lei, and the three of them summed up briefly for a while. Su Lei went to the broadcasting room first, while Turan and Zero evacuated the crowd from east and west directions respectively. They each ran half a circle along the main road, and coordinated with Su Lei's announcement to point out the direction of the nearest escape route to all the passengers still underground.

During this process, Zero was indeed "experienced and cooperative" as Anna said, helping Turan and Su Lei save a lot of time.

"Young people today are amazing," Turan exclaimed. She looked at Anna, "I never asked before, what do you do? Are you grandparents who came out together?"

"Let me introduce..." Hesta whispered, "This is—"

"It's Ms. Pacca, isn't it!" Su Lei on the side interrupted Hesta's words a little excitedly.

Following the sound of "Ms. Paka", Anna's expression obviously changed. She looked at Su Lei in surprise, with a little confusion in her eyes, "...It seems that we have really met before?"

"Yes, I've seen it!" Si Lei nodded again and again, "In the winter of 4617, I met you once on the train. At that time, I went to the core city for an interview, because there was a workstation in the core city that year. an 'Auxiliary Field Service' vacancy, and you were sitting across from me—"

"Si Lei, Si Lei..." Anna recalled the name with deep eyes. Suddenly, she did recall something and raised her head again, "Oh...it's you, it's you, I remember, my God, you and that time It's completely different, it's a different person..."

"Yes, it's me! You remember!"

"Paka is a fake name, it's used to deceive people." Anna extended a friendly hand to Slei, "Nice to meet you, my name is Anna Sokolova."

"The naturalist?" Si Lei's eyes widened, and she held Anna's hand tightly with both hands, "I... I have read your "When the Forest Sings"—oh no, I haven't, but I have seen this book, I have a friend who has been reading your book!"

"Really." Anna smiled, "It's an honor."

Both Hesta and Turan looked blankly at the two in front of them.

This was the first time that Hesta had seen such a Si Lei: her brows and eyes were full of spirits, and her words were somewhat incoherent because of excitement.

"What is this..." Turan looked at Anna and then at Si Lei, "You met on the train, and then what?"

"It's like this," Su Lei held his forehead with a smile, "I was very nervous about the interview at the time, because I was the only woman among the 27 candidates who passed the preliminary examination that year, and I checked All the past candidates for that position basically did not see a feminine name—a lot of information showed that they had a very obvious gender preference when recruiting non-mercury needle workers."

"Is there such a thing?" Turan frowned sharply, "Which workstation? The clock tower workstation?"

"No, that workstation has now been merged, and it is now an action group under the independent court of the core city." Su Lei replied with a smile, "I had been insomnia for a whole week when I got on that train, and my The interview was arranged on the fourth day after I arrived in the core city, I really..."

"Did I do anything for you?" Anna asked, "Sorry, I can't remember."

"Ah, you took the initiative to ask me if I was worried about something. You said that my face looked very bad, and then I told you all those things," Su Lei replied, "And you... comforted me. I."

Hesta was curious: "How did she comfort you?"

"Yeah...how did I comfort you?"

"You said, 'When you encounter this kind of trouble, even if the problem contains structural problems, don't start from this perspective completely, otherwise you will increase a lot of despair, and try to solve your personal dilemma as an accidental problem, and you will be more able to break through the dilemma. possible - from now on, stop thinking about the gender of previous candidates and the whole systemic discrimination, and just focus on how to beat the other 26 candidates... Wouldn't it be easier?'”

"Is it just like that?" Anna smiled, "...it's really like what I said."

"They are very important to me," Su Lei said earnestly, "at least, you completely changed my mentality at the time, and I slept well that night...and for the next few days."

"How about the interview?"

"Very good. After two rounds of interviews, my performance was very good, but I didn't get the position, because at the end of the interview, the main interviewer thought that this position could not give full play to my ability advantages, so I still voted down ticket--"

"What kind of bastard trick is this!" Turan's anger suddenly rose, "Officer Su Lei, can't you see—"

"No, it wasn't a trick, the position was bye that year because I beat the other candidates in the first round of interviews and I was voted down by the main interviewer in the second round, so no one got the position ——The interviewer later wrote me a letter of recommendation and asked me to go to the reconnaissance department of the workstation...the job there is indeed much better than that of 'auxiliary field service', and there are more promotion channels."

Anna thought about it: "Who was the main interviewer you met that year?"

"It's Ms. Mabel," Sley replied. "She passed away the year before last. Her daughter's speech at the funeral was very touching...do you know her?"

"I know," Anna nodded, "So it's like this..."

"I've been looking for you all these years," Su Lei looked at Anna. "I've visited many Ms. Paka in the third district, but I haven't been able to find you—so this is a pseudonym?"

"You're too polite," Anna waved her hand casually, "I don't see anything to thank me for in the whole thing...but I'm happy for your experience."
