Dressed as the heroine's ineffective sister

Chapter 42

"Sister Xie, is your work over there particularly difficult?"

Seeing Xie Yin's rare emotional instability, Li Xiaoxiao sat sideways on the wooden chair by the street, but suddenly calmed down completely.She asked Xie Yin softly. Xie Yin, who was far away in Wilmington, Delaware, was slightly taken aback by her tone.After a long time, she sat up straight and apologized softly: "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spoken loudly to you, nor should I have said such things to you."

Xie Yin is usually very strong, and she has always been tolerant of Li Xiaoxiao.She has never said that she hates Li Xiaoxiao before, and she is usually very patient even when preaching to Li Xiaoxiao.But at this moment, because of Li Xiaoxiao's little reaction, she completely lost her usual calmness.In fact, this is enough to see her gaffe and abnormality.

"I'm fine, sister Xie, are the problems you encountered serious? Didn't the procedures for the new company in the United States be completed? Didn't you also recruit a lot of people? Then why are you so irritable? Not long ago You're so busy, I've never seen you lose your composure before. And it's almost three o'clock now, are you really not sleepy at all?"

Li Xiaoxiao asked carefully, Xie Yin also calmed down a bit, and then spoke about her own problem.

In fact, the problem on her side is still the same as before, the frustration caused by the language barrier.There is a problem of distrust from customers, investors and even employees because they have not built factories in the United States.There are also companies calling one by one, urging them to produce results as soon as possible.But in terms of funds, the review is abnormally strict, as if she is afraid that she will waste it, and that she will enrich her own pocket.In addition to these big problems, there is even such a small problem that she can't get used to the food there and can't find a suitable restaurant.

All of these accumulated together, and she felt extremely stressed.On weekdays, she actually maintained herself very well, and she didn't let Tan Zichong and the people in the company see her impatience.But in the dead of night, when she booked the plane ticket.When Li Xiaoxiao suddenly fell silent, she didn't know what was going on, so she suddenly lost her composure.

"It seems that you are going back, but I can't even send you off now. And Xiaoxiao, you always count with me, I am really frustrated. You will go back after a while, you like this , How will we live in the next three years. I am older than you now, and I have worked for many years, and the salary is okay. Under such circumstances, as someone who likes you, I will definitely miss you and will definitely give you occasionally Send something. But if I send you something, you are thinking about how to return it? Then I dare to send it? After all, you are still young now. If you study in the next few years, you will definitely not earn money. Under such circumstances, Xiaoxiao, it’s not suitable for you to play the game of sending me back and forth. Xiaoxiao, feelings are really not for business. I hope that my appearance and existence are good for you I hope that in your eyes, I can be relied on, a pillar of existence. I hope that the state of the two of us is that of mutual appreciation, mutual support, and mutual help. Because of my age advantage, I am older than you. A little bit stronger. But Xiaoxiao people have been in Hexi for 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. No one will have a smooth life. Now I help you, maybe I will rely on you in the future. So let’s not be too fussy, okay? Xiaoxiao, don't let me worry about such things and keep entangled, okay??"

Xie Yin repeated what she just said in a low voice, and Li Xiaoxiao listened carefully.It took a long time before she said again: "Sister Xie, I know about it, so after I learned from Sister Liu what you did for me, I couldn't bear to say anything."

Why did Xie Yin do that behind her back?Why did Xie Yin ask an outsider behind her back?Why did sister Xie obviously do things that are extremely beneficial to her, but she made her so embarrassed?

In fact, after thinking everything through, Li Xiaoxiao knew that all of this was caused by herself.It was her stubbornness that made Xie Yin have to choose to ask others for help in order to help her.And there are some things that she obviously did, but she chooses to hide them from her. In fact, it is also because of her character and self-esteem.Such a thing seems to be really touching when you look at it suddenly.But after thinking about it seriously, it also feels quite helpless.

When Sister Xie was still in China, it might not be too strenuous for her to do these things, so she felt that it didn't matter.But now one of them is far away in the United States, and the other is going to the relatively remote Longcheng.So when she was silent at this moment, sister Xie couldn't help it.

When the two get along, in fact, Li Xiaoxiao has always been more self-willed.She said that she was going to study in Longcheng, Xie Yin chose to respect her and let her go back to Longcheng.She said that she was leaving in June and July, so Xie Yin made arrangements for her, and she renewed the rent for her.At the moment, she even has a plane ticket booked for her.

Li Xiaoxiao didn't feel much about everything before.Even when Sister Xie was transferred to the United States, she felt just right, just right.She felt that in this way they would not delay anyone.But if you really think about it, all this is actually different.Because now her departure is her subjective request.On the premise that Xie Yin was still in Pengcheng at that time, she directly chose to go back for her own future.As for Xie Yin, she was actually passive.Whether it's about her going to an American company, or about her wanting to take the opportunity to study in the United States in the future.In fact, there is a sense of rushing ducks to the shelves and having to do that.Therefore, the original intentions of the two of them are completely different when it comes to choosing to leave.

In the past, Li Xiaoxiao never felt much about these things.Even when Xie Yin buys her something, she will subconsciously remember it.Then at the right time, add another item of similar price to her.She has always been like this when she gets along with people.When eating with Li Rong at that time, or later Sister Qing.As long as they invite her, she will definitely remember next time and find a way to invite her back.She believes that people are mutual when they are together, and she only has the intention of not taking advantage of others.Whatever others give her, she immediately repays it, and the relationship between the two will last for a long time.

But she forgot that Xie Yin is not her friend, they are a couple.When she was with Xie Yin, she seemed to only think about her own thoughts.Only what sister Xie does to me, what I want to do.But she never thought about how she would feel to the other party.As Sister Xie said, Sister Xie is not a person who cares about everything, but Li Xiaoxiao subconsciously regards her as that kind of person.To put it harshly, her behavior seems to be really preparing to break up with sister Xie at any time.It was as if the two of them really broke up one day, and she would really be able to pat their buttocks and leave easily.

Li Xiaoxiao thought about this in her heart, and then she said that she was changing, and she would never say that again in the future.And when Xie Yin talked to Li Xiaoxiao angrily, she immediately apologized and talked to Li Xiaoxiao properly.

At the end of the phone call, Li Xiaoxiao began to persuade Xie Yin: "Sister Xie, I really can't give you any good advice about your work. But when it comes to eating, I suggest that you be kinder to yourself and buy some tableware for yourself. Let’s cook. Sister Xie, haven’t you noticed that you are very talented in cooking? We are together, and I will only make you some simple dishes. But when making dumplings, or making more complicated dishes, it’s not always Have you started? Cooking seems to be a waste of time, but you can take the rest time to do it, sister Xie. And when cooking, it can unexpectedly calm people's mood. So sister Xie, I really suggest you try it yourself When you go out, you can make do with one or two meals once in a while, or even make do with one or two days. But if you can’t eat what you want for a long time, people will really become irritable. The problem of eating seems to be very simple , but it is also the thing that can affect our emotions the most. So, sister Xie, don’t let such problems bother you, listen to me, go buy some tableware tomorrow, and then you can do whatever you want. Wait until the meal is over You especially like to eat, then you take a shower early, and then go to bed early. When you open your eyes again, you are packing up and going to work. I believe, try to do this for a while , your mood will definitely get better. And on my side, don’t worry, I will send you messages every day, and I will record videos for you every day. In this way, you can see my status at any time, and you don’t have to worry about it. You're worried."

In the past, Xie Yin played the role of educating and guiding Li Xiaoxiao in both work and life.But on this night, Li Xiaoxiao unknowingly assumed the responsibility of comforting Xie Yin.

Li Xiaoxiao asked Xie Yin to put down her phone, go to the bathroom, take a sip of hot water, and finally lie down on the bed.Xie Yin obeyed obediently, lying on the bed, pressing the mobile phone as a loudspeaker and putting it aside.Then he freed his hands and lay up straight. After talking to Li Xiaoxiao for a while, gradually, he felt Xie Yin who had been unable to sleep.He slowly closed his eyes, and slowly and completely entered the dreamland.

After realizing that she was indeed asleep, Li Xiaoxiao reached out and pressed the phone that had become scorching hot due to the long-time conversation.

Sister Xie used to have a too perfect and too strong expression in front of her, which gave Li Xiaoxiao a feeling that she is almost omnipotent and extremely strong.But in fact, if you think about it carefully, Sister Xie is only 24 years old this year. The 24-year-old sister Qing is only a small supervisor up to now.And the new college student recruited by the company to replace her just graduated this year, but he is already 22 years old.After thinking about it carefully, in fact, 21 or 22 is the age when a person has graduated from a normal university and has just stepped out of society.

But because Sister Xie studied at a relatively early age and came out of the society relatively early, everyone subconsciously ignored her age.Others are just starting at the age of 24, and those who are faster are just a small supervisor or manager.But on her side, she has completely started to be responsible for the life and death of a company.Under such circumstances, the pressure on her can be imagined.

And Sister Xie should have had a smooth life before. When chatting with her, Li Xiaoxiao can also feel that she has a good sense of superiority about her birth.She is a native of Xiangjiang, and her parents are both teachers. Although her family is not particularly rich, she has never been short of money since she was a child.There are two houses in her family, one old house and one new house.According to Sister Xie, her grandparents said more than once that they would transfer the ownership of the house under their name to her.

She is still the only child in the family, and her grandparents are only her mother.Under such circumstances, she should have been in a state of being watched and grown up since she was a child.When she was a student who was pampered and protected, although her major was determined by her parents, she chose the school by herself.After graduating from a prestigious school, she chose a job she was interested in.Even though she suffered a certain blow at work, she managed to stay in the international sales department by virtue of her learning ability and English ability by mistake, and successfully turned herself into the number one in terms of performance.Even in the first few years of Rixin, she was suppressed.But the sales job was originally paid by commission, and it was run on for three years.Even if her position has not been promoted, her salary is far higher than those around her.

Throughout her 24 years, although there were minor hardships, it was generally smooth sailing. At the age of 23, she directly manages a department with her own ability. One can imagine the pride in her heart.When Sister Qing, who was the same age as her, was paid 20 yuan and became the head of the back office.But she is already in charge of the company's most profitable department, receiving more than [-] yuan a month.Her early life was too smooth, so she waited until the United States.The food was not suitable, and the working environment changed suddenly.Even her proud English ability was hit by natives in the United States, and her frustration can be imagined.

So she started to be irritable, so she can bear her nonsense all the time.But at this time, she couldn't maintain her concentration and began to lose her temper.

Li Xiaoxiao understood how she felt. When she first came to this world, her mood was actually the same as that of Sister Xie now.Because she didn't adapt to the environment, when she became Li Xiaoxiao here for the first time, she opposed Li's mother, and then was directly served by Li's mother at that time.When she arrived in Pengcheng, she became dumb again, and used an autistic way to let herself spend a year in a daze.

She got through the most difficult time of her life by being autistic and not talking to others.And when she got to Sister Xie's side, Li Xiaoxiao hoped that she could become her pillar, be able to relieve her, and help her share some burden.

Sister Xie said that she hopes that the two of them will be in a relationship of mutual appreciation and mutual support.In the past, Li Xiaoxiao didn't understand this.But now when she was comforting the stressed sister Xie, Li Xiaoxiao suddenly understood.Slowly showing the happiest smile today, at this moment, Li Xiaoxiao felt that she seemed to have touched the real way for the two of them to get along together.

"Make the one you love happy, don't burden her. I hope that because of my existence, she will be less stressed and happier." This is probably what Sister Xie had been hoping for before. At this time, Li Xiaoxiao I finally understood this feeling, and finally knew what I should do.

She checked the time with her phone, which was about to run out of power, and then Li Xiaoxiao got up and went to the bus station.Wait for the car at the bus stop, and then sit in the familiar seat.This time Li Xiaoxiao looked down at the place beside her and no longer wanted to cry anymore. At this moment, she felt that she really seemed to have grown up completely.

The day before leaving Pengcheng, Li Xiaoxiao went to work in the morning.In the afternoon, she asked for leave again, and then went straight to Pengcheng Library.

There are a few books that Sister Xie borrowed at home, and a few books that she forgot to return.Li Xiaoxiao took the library card of the two of them, returned the book, and paid the late fee.

After killing time in the library for a while, Li Xiaoxiao came back immediately.After returning to 1902, she put Sister Xie's library card in Sister Xie's desk drawer.As for her library card, she did not choose to cancel the account.She chose to put it in her card bag, and packed it carefully.

Towards the afternoon, Li Xiaoxiao contacted some colleagues in the department, and then invited everyone back for a meal.After eating the last break-up dinner and saying goodbye to my family countless times.After returning home at night, Li Xiaoxiao voluntarily withdrew from the company's three office groups.

When Ouyang Qing left, the company let her name hang up for two days.Sister An came out and asked Sister Qing to kick Ouyang out of the work group.Li Xiaoxiao didn't want to be kicked, and didn't want to be so ignorant of flattery, so she chose to retreat on her own initiative.

At night, she looked carefully at the cottage where she had lived for almost seven months.Then she chose to take her own white mug away. As for the other thermos cups, as well as the electrical appliances and kitchen utensils they bought in pieces in the house, Li Xiaoxiao just unplugged the power and left all of them to Xie. Sister dealt with it.

Li Xiaoxiao didn't ask how long Sister Xie would rent this house.But even if Sister Xie chooses to rent here temporarily, the annual rent is only more than 3 yuan. More than 3, in Li Xiaoxiao's opinion, it is actually quite a lot.In the first half year when she first came to work, her salary was always 3500.After deducting one thousand for the family, deducting her five social insurances and one housing fund, and deducting her monthly food and expenses, she can only save more than 1000 a month.Years ago, she had only seven thousand savings.Later, Sister Xie found a way to give her an extra month of year-end bonus, and at the beginning of the new year, she received nearly 4000 yuan in red envelopes, which made her purse bulge up all of a sudden.

Years later, the company added 3500 yuan to her salary, and Ouyang Qing was fired unexpectedly. Her salary suddenly changed from 4700 yuan to 3 yuan.Later, she got commissions from two large districts. Because of these, she now has nearly 30 savings. More than [-] yuan is her savings for a whole year. If it was normal, she would definitely not agree to Xie Jie renting this house.But now Li Xiaoxiao doesn't think so anymore. Sister Xie's current basic salary is [-].That means that [-] is just her salary for a few days.She usually returns to the company for meetings occasionally, under such circumstances.Maybe in the eyes of the other party, spending tens of thousands of dollars to keep her things all the time, so that she can have a place to live when she returns to Pengcheng occasionally, then this little money is very worthwhile in her eyes.In the past, Li Xiaoxiao was very concerned about these things, and always used her own consumption concept to limit sister Xie.But from now on, she won't do that anymore.

Carefully tidy up the whole house, and carefully check all the electrical appliances and switches in the house.After confirming again and again, I have done everything that should be paid attention to.Then the next morning, Li Xiaoxiao packed everything up and went out with her suitcase.Because she knew that Sister Xie had booked her a plane ticket, Li Xiaoxiao bought a relatively large suitcase overnight and put all her usual clothes in it.She doesn't usually buy many clothes, but when she is with Sister Xie.Occasionally when shopping, when sister Xie buys clothes, she will choose a symbolic one.Sometimes, sister Xie would buy it for her.So gradually she had a lot of clothes, and because she was going back, she brought more gifts to Li's mother and Li Jiajia.

So just like that, on July 2032st, 7, when the heat in Pengcheng was unbearable.Li Xiaoxiao, who was wearing a ponytail, a T-shirt and shorts, and a big suitcase, arrived at Pengcheng Airport ahead of schedule.

Pick up the ticket, do the check-in, go through the security check, and wait for the plane.When going through each procedure, Li Xiaoxiao would take pictures with her mobile phone and send them to Xie Yin.

When Li Xiaoxiao sent the message, Xie Yin was eating.

Tonight, after listening to Li Xiaoxiao's words, she chose her own cooking.

Since the day she arrived in Wilmington, she has been tense and never had a good rest.But yesterday, after listening to the little girl's persuasion, she fell asleep after being comforted by the other party.When she woke up, Xie Yin knew she couldn't go on like this.

So when she went to work today, she abnormally didn't go out.Instead, he made a cup of coffee and sat leisurely in the office all day.The foreign employees she hired seemed surprised by her behavior. Seeing everyone's expressions, Xie Yin suddenly got a clue.

Since coming to the United States, she has been eager to achieve results and get rid of the current environment.But thinking about it carefully, she seemed to push herself too hard.

Cultural differences, language differences.These are not things that can be changed or learned overnight.

America is America, and Pengcheng is Pengcheng.And she seems to have been working in Pengcheng's working mode, so it's no wonder that there are no problems.

In Wilmington, the largest city in Delaware, USA, she seems to be busy and working hard every day.But she forgot, when she came to a strange place.The first thing she has to do is not simply to issue orders, but to get used to and integrate into this new environment as soon as possible.

If she doesn't know anything about this city, the laws and regulations here, the employment policy here, and the market system here.Under such circumstances, how could she carry out her work here.

And if she wants to work in America, wants to earn money to eat here.At the very least, she should know the customs here, and what the people here like or avoid.At the very least, when she is working, she should also give her colleagues a kind of respect.She is trying to integrate here and wants to work well here.Rather than simply being mercenary, just impatient and irritable.

At this moment, Xie Yin, who was quietly eating her own dinner and thought through everything, suddenly entered a very Buddhist and subtle state.She sent a message to Li Xiaoxiao, and then waited for her little girl to board and shut down the computer.For the first time, Xie Yin did not read the series of emails and policies sent to her by the head office.For the first time, she ignored their bullshit instructions, just turned off the phone, put on the blindfold, and lay in bed early.

At eleven o'clock in the night in Wilmington, Xie Yin went to bed early for the first time, and fell asleep early for the first time.On the other side of the world, Li Xiaoxiao, who is flying for the first time, is like all her peers who are flying for the first time.Excitedly lying on the porthole, excitedly looking at the blue sky above.

When the plane completely flew into the sky, Li Xiaoxiao, like the people around her, carefully turned on her cell phone.Like a bumpkin, he secretly took a photo of the blue sky and white clouds, and quickly sent it to Sister Xie.

"Sister Xie, are you sleeping? Wake up and look at the sky I took."

Li Xiaoxiao, who told Sister Xie to sleep well yesterday, is now mischievous.And when he saw that his information had not been sent, and his pictures could not be sent.Li Xiaoxiao smiled speechlessly, and in the end could only obediently turn off the phone, and chose to fiddle with the PAD on the plane.

On the plane, go to the toilet, have a meal, play games, read magazines, and close your eyes.Soon, the plane arrived at its destination.When the plane descended rapidly, Li Xiaoxiao covered her sore ears and looked at the outside environment excitedly.Although Longcheng is not big, its environment is very good.Covering her ears and looking down, Li Xiaoxiao at this moment only hopes that everything will go well for her here.

"Xiaoxiao, when will you come back tomorrow? Give me the time, and I will pick you up at the train station."

When Li Xiaoxiao got off the plane and turned on her mobile phone, she accidentally saw the message Li Jiajia had sent her an hour ago.If it was according to her previous itinerary, she should have set off this morning and arrived in Longcheng tomorrow night.The time Li Xiaoxiao gave Li Jiajia to go home before was also tomorrow.At this moment, after a little hesitation, Li Xiaoxiao took the mobile phone and said: "Sister, I'm back early. I can go home at about five o'clock. You don't need to pick me up. I can just come back by myself." gone."

"You're back already?"

Li Jiajia quickly sent a voice message, and soon after, she directly called the video invitation.

Li Xiaoxiao picked up the video, and soon, Li Xiaoxiao saw Li Jiajia who hadn't seen her for a week.And Li's mother, who was frowning at her beside her and hadn't spoken to or met her for a whole year.

"Are you at the airport?"

Li's mother has also studied and went to school. Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's environment now, she blurted out immediately.

"Well, my friend bought me a plane ticket, so I refunded the original train ticket." As if nothing had happened, Li Xiaoxiao smiled softly, and then said calmly: "Mom, sister, I have brought you gifts. And I will come back later, do you want to buy something for you? After all, the road is not convenient, so I don't bring much for you. If you want to eat, Or what’s missing, tell me, and I’ll buy it by the way!”

For the sake of peace in the future, and for a better life in the future, Li Xiaoxiao is going all out.

Li Juan frowned on the phone, and after a long time, under Li Jiajia's worried eyes.She still held back her temper and said slowly: "I'll ask your sister to pick you up. You haven't come home for two years. It doesn't matter if you bring us something or not. But your uncle's and your uncle's house, and your grandparents Over there, you can't take nothing, that's wrong. I'll let your sister go over there, you can buy something, and then come back together. "
