Gardenias bloom and have their own postures.
She was 19 years old, the age when she bloomed like a flower.
The scorching sun scorched the earth like a big fireball, and the trees learned that they seemed to be doping tirelessly, which made her even more restless at the moment. The colleague who guided her was a beautiful woman in her early thirties, dressed in professional attire, smiling, and reminding her to be careful of the steps while familiarizing her with the surrounding office environment. A few minutes later, the two stopped in front of an office with a "Project Manager" sign. "Bang bang bang", accompanied by a knock at the door, "Please come in", the low and powerful voice of a middle-aged man came from the office. "Manager, the new trainees have brought you." After the report, the colleague left at the prompting of the manager, and patted her on the shoulder before leaving to signal her not to be nervous.
Shrugging her head, biting her lower lip hard, her hands rubbing back and forth, she looked more like a clown with a pestle in the big office. And her intuition told her that the tall and mighty "manager" in front of her, with a serious face, made her daunted.
"Sit down and talk." The manager greeted. She moved back awkwardly, "No, no, no, I'll still stand." Xu was nervous, and at this moment she actually became a little stuttering.
"Then what will you do?" There was a long silence, putting down her resume, and the manager stared at her intently.
Only then did she see clearly the man in front of her who could be called an uncle, 40 years old, with a dark complexion, a beard, and no trimming. "I can hit the computer." After graduating from secondary school, she replied without hesitation, and then dodged and shifted her gaze elsewhere. "Anyway, English can't be useful here," she reassured herself, in fact, she didn't listen to the computer class when she went to school, and the reason why she said yes was that she had learned it in the computer training class before coming here.
"Then arrange for you to go to the office." After some explanation on the phone, the beautiful woman just now led her out again.
Later, whenever she remembered the first day of registration, she would still laugh thoughtfully.

Along with them were three other trainees: Yun, a Shanxi native, a woman who is keen on tourism and advocates autonomy. Feng, a native of Hebei, can speak the Tao, and looks exactly like Xie Tingfeng. Zhu, a native of Henan, is an alcoholic, grinning, and is also her hometown. Feng and Ju settled in the dormitory next door to her and Yun.
"Okay? Everyone is still waiting for us! The impatient Cloud ignored Three Seven Twenty-One, and Shunshi grabbed her arm and dragged it straight out. Contrary to her personality, Yun is four years older than her, likes to have short hair, wears casual clothes, is decisive and capable, and is also very righteous, and she is a tomboy. Although she looks fierce, she has long been a trustworthy sister after getting along, at least she is doubly protective.
I remember when I first arrived, the two went to the bank together to get their wages. "Move fast, so that the card will not be swallowed," Yun still looked uneasy after repeated explanations, "card to me, or I will help you." Under The skillful and quick operation of Yun, she really spat out the banknote she wanted from the machine. Excited, she thanked her profusely.
And that time, she was a little cold and feverish, And Yun touched her somewhat hot forehead and shouted at her anxiously, "Don't go yet!" Confused, the monk thought she was going to be accused of quarantine, but she still heard the last sentence clearly, "Go to the clinic!" After the two of them went one after the other, her footsteps were as heavy as lead, and her heart was full of mixed feelings, making the road that should have been a few minutes hard to get out of a century. Fortunately, everything was just a false alarm.
"Look, be righteous enough of me!" Cloud's words, she will never forget...
Thinking of this, her heart was warm, and she couldn't help but speed up her pace.

Under the strong drag of the cloud, I finally arrived at my destination.
Although the hotel is not magnificent, it reveals a trace of classical atmosphere everywhere. In her eyes, everything is full of freshness. In a trance, even the ancient beauty of the portrait on the wall seemed to be greeting her.
The double-layer rotating round table in the private room is lined with a variety of dishes that she can't name, and the wine glasses next to it are even more addictive, and she is a little stunned to see that she has never been far away. After the three rounds of drinking, the male compatriots played happily in the sound of the game of "tiger tiger chicken, tiger tiger bug", the winner was naturally smiling, and the loser held up the wine glass quite strongly. At this time, someone proposed: "Shouldn't the female compatriots also toast everyone?" When she was about to answer the call in an unknown situation, the cloud next to her whispered a reminder to "click you", and she quickly shrunk the hand that was going to take the bottle back.
"I'll toast you first!" A woman said boldly. After that, everyone turned their eyes to her, Yun looked at her who was invincible and weak, looked around, heroically said "I am for her", suddenly drank it again, and shook the cup downwards, as if to show her sincerity. "Good! Good! Good!" Amid the cheers of the crowd, Yun slapped the corners of his mouth and sat down.
After drinking and eating, the unfinished colleagues moved the battlefield to KTV. The flickering lights in the private room made her unable to open her eyes, and the dancing posture of the group of demons made her even more confused. So she sat down in an unobtrusive corner.
"Wildflowers on the side of the road, you don't pick, don't pick white, don't pick", colleagues pulled their throats as if they were venting something. She took a sip of her drink and muttered in doubt, "Why do you want to add the phrase 'no white, no picking' to this song?" ”
At this time, Feng and Zhu Yi stepped on the cotton and walked towards this side, "You have drunk too much, let's have some tea?" She cared, and the two seemed to be indifferent but still fighting, "Whoever drinks too much is the puppy!" As soon as the words fell silent, they heard a "fluttering" sound, and then what they saw was a duo collapsed on the sofa, stacked on top of each other.
On the way back from the end of the activity, Feng Xiang, who was supported by others, stepped on stilts, and from time to time swung around in an "S" shape, and did not forget to shout in his mouth: "I am not drunk, come again!" The next day, Feng was taken directly to the hospital for a drip due to excessive alcohol consumption. Zhu poured out like no one else, forcefully threw away the colleague who wanted to help him, walked forward with a sullen head, came to the courtyard of the dormitory, as if he was facing a great enemy, he flew up and wanted to kick the tires of the car next to the road, fortunately, he was found by the colleague who was quick-eyed and stopped in time.

A year's apprenticeship is fleeting. Zhu, who was a financial officer, was the first of several of them to receive a transfer order.
That weekend, she heard the movement of the dormitory next door, and it was not surprising that Zhu was packing her bags.
Suddenly, she found that the button on one of the pants in her luggage was unbuttoned, so she volunteered to say", "I will help you sew."
Just after saying that, I realized that I didn't know anything about needlework, when my grandmother's sentence "No gold and steel diamonds, don't do porcelain work" suddenly came out in my mind, and it turned out that this word was for her.
"Why don't you just sew a button, what's so hard?" When she recalled her grandmother's appearance, she sewed it up with a plank and an eye, and after it was finished, she couldn't help but feel a burst of joy.
A few minutes after the pants were delivered, she heard a deafening knock at the door again. Zhu squinted at her and complained scornfully: "Are you crazy after all?" How did the buttons turn upside down? Weak-hearted, she re-sewed it again after apologizing.

The little friends who have been together for more than a year are really going to Shaanxi.
Without waiting for the driver to come, the sullen Zhu threw his luggage into the trunk early. At this time, Feng Heyun of the Engineering Department arrived in time, and Feng still smiled as always: "Brother, the next time you go to Shaanxi, remember to treat me well!" Zhu nodded solemnly at the three people, and finally instructed Feng meaningfully: "Don't forget our wishes!" ”
On that quiet night, it was not a coincidence that the clouds happened to be absent. When the three people talked about the future, Feng, known as "Nicholas Tse", looked firmly and confidently into the distance: "In the future, I will be a leader, my other half will definitely be more beautiful than them, and I will have a beautiful and lovely daughter." Looking at Zhu, Zhu scratched his head in embarrassment and said slightly shyly, "I want to have a son with a handle." The two looked at each other and smiled, "one, two, three", in unison, with their hands trumpeting to the night sky: "Our wish will be fulfilled!" Then there was a burst of laughter. Behind her, she reluctantly yawned , "Who let yourself be an ugly duckling 1" At this time, a meteor crossed, taking advantage of the hazy moonlight, she bowed her head and made a wish: "May time be fixed beautifully!"
Later, in the endless sound of farewell, Zhu went to Huangyan, Shaanxi. And before long, the three of them were also running their own things...
⑥
After the separation, the four people did not have much contact, but she always remembered each other, and from time to time she would hear about the other three. Feng became the hot leader of the company and added a cute daughter. Zhu became the treasurer, and gave birth to a son with a handle as he wished, and the son was two in his life. And Yun has long left the unit to seek another high.
One day many years later, looking at the vast night sky, she was extremely happy as if she had discovered a new continent. When the four meteors crossed, she seemed to capture the miniature of the four people who had been apprentices, silently bowed her head, and gently made a wish to the meteor again...
