delayed love

Chapter 25 The White Swan

Because of illness, Lin Xi completely changed overnight.

The little princess that everyone in the Beijing circle feared was gone forever. She was like a broken doll, her eyes were empty, and she couldn't find a trace of the pride that once belonged to her.

Lin Chen's job transfer was too sudden, and his aunt also had her own job.After discussing with their uncle, they decided to take Lin Xi to Linshi.Lin Xi's grandparents are in good health and they are both doctors, so they can take good care of Lin Xi.

On the first day when she transferred to Linshi No. [-] Middle School, Lin Xi became the topic of discussion in the entire high school.

When get out of class was over, many people came to hear the news and lay down by the window to watch her.But she didn't pay attention to anyone, and her eyes never stopped for anyone, like a noble and arrogant white swan.

At first, everyone thought she was just a quiet and cold beauty, but later found that all the teachers took good care of Lin Xi, and never even asked Lin Xi by name.I don't know who first spread the word that Lin Xi is a little mute.

In order to attract her attention and prove this point, the boy who had a good thing grabbed Lin Xi's hair from behind in the corridor between classes.

It was also that time that everyone found her hearing aid hidden under her long hair.

Later, when everyone mentioned Lin Xi, they said she was a deaf-mute.

Even though she knew she was flawed, she couldn't hide the dazzling light on her body.Even if she just sat quietly in the corner every time, the number of people who came to see her after class would only increase.

At that time, some boys secretly stuffed her with love letters and small gifts, and many girls felt jealous.Among them, there was a boy who was very persistent. He was rejected again and again, but he still didn't give up.

Later, Lin Xi was annoyed by the interruption, and dropped the things the boy gave her in front of everyone.Because he lost face, the boy purposely took revenge on her in the same way in front of other people on his way back from school.

The boy took off her hearing aid and threw it in the trash.

Not long after, the boy changed schools.Where and why, Lin Xi didn't know at the time.

But now... Lin Xi looked at the man at the door coldly, and she knew it.

-

Personnel glanced at the newcomer he had recruited, "Do you know Gong Lin?"

The man showed embarrassment, obviously like Lin Xi, remembering the unpleasant experience before.

He didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only look at Lin Xi who was not far away uneasily.

The latter's eyes stayed on his face for a while, and finally moved away slowly.

The man secretly breathed a sigh of relief as if he was about to receive an amnesty.

Lin Xi asked personnel with a blank expression, "Is this my new assistant?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes." HR nodded, and pushed the dazed man next to him, "Hurry up and say hello to Lin Gong."

"Don't look at our Lin Gong as young as you, but he is a talented student who came back from abroad. You can learn a lot from Lin Gong in the future, so you should cherish it!"

After hearing the words of personnel affairs, the man did not feel happy because of it, but became more nervous.Under the urging of the personnel, he tried to call Lin Xi: "Lin..."

But the other party didn't give him a chance to introduce himself at all, so he turned his head and said to the personnel: "I don't have anything to do here now, you can take him to another place."

"Okay, you are busy, you are busy." The personnel hurriedly led the newcomer away.

The office door opened and closed, and the atmosphere was inexplicably much lower than before.

Chen Gong and the others looked at each other, wondering what went wrong.

They were all straight men in science and engineering, and they didn't bother to put too much thought into this matter, so they soon asked Lin Gong to discuss whether they should go to the cafeteria at noon.

-

In the afternoon, Lin Xi was the only one in the office.

Chen Gong and the others went to the gym downstairs to play. She was a little tired and came back after eating.

Sensing someone loitering at the door, Lin Xi adjusted the back of the seat, sat upright from a half-lying position, and said to the door, "Come in if you have anything to do."

Her voice has never been very loud, and there is no ups and downs.But the door was ajar, and people outside could still hear it.

After a long time, the door was carefully pushed open and then gently closed again.

"Lin Xi." The man who came in smiled flatteringly at her, "Long time no see, do you remember me?"

He took a few steps forward and stood still in front of Lin Xi's desk. "I am……"

Lin Xi raised her eyes and glanced at him, "We know each other?"

The man nodded, "No, I don't know."

"What's up?"

For a while, the man couldn't tell whether she still remembered him or not, so he had to give up his purpose, "This is my resume, personnel affairs, let me show it to you."

Lin Xi raised her chin and motioned for him to put it on the table, "Put it here."

The man withdrew his hand in embarrassment and put down the resume.

"That forest worker, do you have any work for me this afternoon?"

"Of course." Lin Xi: "Bring in a cup of coffee at two o'clock."

The corner of the man's mouth twitched, and he held back his temper and asked, "What do Lin Gong like to drink?"

Lin Xi stared at him with no warmth in his eyes, "You and your predecessor should have handed over, right? Didn't she tell you?"

"..."

In just a second, she withdrew her gaze and said in a cold tone, "If there's nothing else, I'm going to rest. Remember to close the door when you go out."

-

"Gong Lin, is this the resume of the new guy?" Gong Chen found the document on her desk as soon as he came back.

"Ah."

Chen Gong casually opened it and looked at it, "Yo, it's still a master's degree from Haicheng University, tsk, this resume is beautifully written."

The others also took a glance, "It's too curly now. If we go back a few years, we can only go to the street to beg for food with our education."

Chen Gong turned the chair under him, "You go on your own, people must have ambition."

Lin Xi: "For example?" "For example, if I can't make it to the current job, I must be the greatest contractor!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Lin Xi was also amused by Chen Gong's words.

"Hey Lin Gong, if you didn't do this business, what would you do?"

"Please, you are the same as you when you are a forestry worker? He is a Ph.D. from MIT, so many companies are rushing to get it."

"I haven't thought about this problem." Lin Xi has been aiming at this goal from the beginning to the end, and has never wavered.

"You can also think about it now. It's just saying if, but it's not serious."

Turning the pen in his hand, Lin Xi supported his chin with one hand: "There is no such thing as an if. If there is no corresponding job, I will probably start my own company and continue to do chip research and development."

Everyone: "..." Is this the difference between people?
Lin Xi was going back to the courtyard to see her grandfather tonight, so she got off work early.It was only five o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the compound.

As soon as she entered the door, she heard Lu Bei talking and laughing with her aunt inside.

Almost instantly, Lin Xi quickly withdrew her foot from entering the door, turned around and was about to slip away.
