splendid star

Chapter 33
In the golden autumn of October, the mountains are covered with red, which is a good time for autumn.An Chen, who had wanted to climb the Great Wall early in the morning, drove to the foot of the Badaling Great Wall that day. He bought the tickets and started his journey to the Great Wall with the endless flow of people as far as the eye could see.
It is said that "if you have not visited the Great Wall, you are not a true man." Ever since he first learned about the Great Wall in a textbook when he was in school, An Chen has hoped that one day he can climb the Great Wall, a great relic that is famous both at home and abroad.
When he truly stepped on the bricks of the Great Wall and touched the city wall that had gone through many vicissitudes but was still strong with his hands, An Chen's heart surged: "Under the sky, above the earth, at the foot of the Great Wall is my hometown." This sentence he has been chanting since he was a child. The ballad he was reciting came out of his mouth unconsciously at this time.
Unknowingly, An Chen had climbed to the beacon tower of the Great Wall. Looking around, the winding Great Wall looked like a giant dragon flying among the mountains, swimming over the mountains and ridges, towards the distant sky.The two sides of the Great Wall are covered with dense forests, making it picturesque and poetic. From a distance, you can see the rolling territory, and from a closer look, you can see the capital city that has been transformed into a human being.
"From the Spring and Autumn Period, through the Qin and Han Dynasties, to the Liao and Jin Dynasties, and to the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, it lasted more than 2000 years. How many generals, military commanders, garrison officials, and Guizhou leaders worked hard to build this great project."
The Great Wall is still there today, but Qin Shihuang is nowhere to be seen.For thousands of years, the enemy has been in the north. Unexpectedly, we have been defending and defending. One day, the enemy came from the sea in a boat.Within a hundred years, China had been invaded beyond recognition. Thinking of this, An Chen felt sadness in his heart.
Now the war is far away and the flames of war are gone.Looking at the people walking around on the Great Wall, they come from all over the world, have different skin colors, speak different languages, and enjoy the quiet and harmonious communication of these years.The Great Wall, no longer stained by blood and fire, still lies silently between heaven and earth. In the rustling autumn wind, it tells tourists anecdotes about the battlefields where corpses were shrouded in horse leather, as well as the eternal homesickness of wanderers today.
Just when An Chen fell into the infinite reverie of "thinking about the world, crying with sadness", a gentle "Hi, An Chen!" brought him back from his thoughts to reality.
"Song Shanshan! Why are you here too?" An Chen looked at Song Shanshan falling from the sky in surprise, obviously a little confused.
"I knew you would come to climb the Great Wall, so I followed you secretly." Song Shanshan said with a sly smile.
"You're actually following me?" An Chen was obviously a little resentful of Song Shanshan's behavior of following him.
"I'm not a bad person, why do you need to make such a fuss!" Song Shanshan pouted and muttered in a low voice.
"Song Shanshan, please don't do this again in the future. Everyone has the right to retain a certain amount of private space. I don't like the feeling of being watched even more." An Chen said sternly, somewhat sullenly.
"An Chen, why should I follow you instead of following others? Don't you understand yet?" Song Shanshan became a little anxious when she saw that An Chen was really angry.
"Shanshan, we are colleagues. We work closely together. It's better to keep some distance in private. I'm worried about causing gossip. People's words are terrible." An Chen emphasized.
"Colleague? Just a colleague? In the past few months since I came to Beijing, I have been working hard to assist you in your work and take care of your life. Do you know how much I have paid for you? Now I just say that I am just a colleague." Dismissed?" An Chen's words clearly hurt Song Shanshan, and she asked An Chen sternly.
An Chen glanced at Song Shanshan quietly, turned to look forward, and said slowly: "Shanshan, look, how broad-minded this ancient Great Wall is! How insignificant people are in front of the Great Wall, emperors, generals, , people, foreigners, fighting for 2000 years, you sang and I came on stage. Looking back now, it has been wiped out. Therefore, there is no need for you to fight for me in life. Keep a calm mind in everything, don't be too persistent, and let nature take its course. , isn't it good?" An Chen tried to persuade Song Shanshan to let go of her wishful thinking.
"Let's talk openly. Do you have a girl you like?" Song Shanshan didn't want to listen to the big principles An Chen said. She just wanted to have An Chen, and An Chen could only belong to her.
"Shanshan, you have crossed the line. There is no need for a leader to report personal emotional issues to his subordinates, right?" An Chen didn't want to answer.
"I invited you to sing in karaoke, but you repeatedly refused and said you couldn't sing. But last time at KTV, I saw you singing "Outside the Window" so affectionately, and you were completely intoxicated with it. I knew you had someone you liked in your heart. "Song Shanshan refused to give up.
An Chen replied calmly: "That's just a song."
Song Shanshan continued to ask: "No, seeing how intoxicated you were at that time, you must be thinking about her, right? Is she your first love?"
"Song Shanshan! At work, we are superiors and subordinates, but privately we are friends. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to break the cliché and ask the truth, right?" An Chen was obviously not happy about Song Shanshan's domineering questioning of emotional privacy, and his voice became louder. Improved a few points.
"An Chen, have you ever been in love?" Song Shanshan ignored An Chen's annoyance and continued to ask.
"No." An Chen replied angrily and continued to look at the beautiful scenery of the Great Wall in the distance.
"Then what type of girl do you like?" Song Shanshan also looked into the distance, pursed her upper lip, and continued to ask.
An Chen thought of Siyi, that noble, beautiful, quiet and versatile girl.Then he turned to look at Song Shanshan and said calmly: "Song Shanshan, I know what you are thinking. It is more suitable for us to be friends."
"An Chen, let me tell you, as long as I, Song Shanshan, like a man, there is nothing I can't get." Song Shanshan became angry with shame and roared at An Chen.
An Chen glanced at Song Shanshan, ignored Song Shanshan who was already irrational, turned around and continued to climb the Great Wall.
"An Chen! Just wait for me!" Song Shanshan's roar came from behind An Chen.
Tourists walking on the Great Wall stopped to watch.
Song Shanshan cried and walked quickly in the opposite direction.
Being so disturbed by Song Shanshan, An Chen no longer had the leisurely elegance he had when he first came to the Great Wall. He stood on the beacon tower, with his arms lying on the crenellations of the Great Wall, staring blankly into the distance.
An Chen was thinking: What did Song Shanshan mean when she left?What will she do next?
After getting to know each other over the past few months, he knew that Song Shanshan was not a person who would give up. This President Song's niece was the apple of the Song family's eye. How could he continue to get along with her in the future?
President Song sent Song Shanshan as my assistant. What would be the purpose?Did he ask Song Shanshan to spy on me?Or do you intend to place Song Shanshan next to me and want us to develop further?An Chen's mind was filled with questions at this moment.
He thought again of Li Siyi, a girl who was also in Beijing but didn't know where she was. "Where could she be? Should we go look for Siyi?" An Chen became flustered when he thought of this question.
Forget it, I'm not in the mood to enjoy the scenery anymore, so I'd better go back home. An Chen thought about this and started walking back.
After returning to the company, An Chen came to the office and sat on the office chair in a daze out of boredom.
Just then, Mr. Cao came in: "Mr. An, there is nothing to do now anyway. I would like to take a leave and go back to spend a few days with my wife and children."
"Okay, you can go back and stay for a few days. Just come back and complete the leave application procedures." An Chen said.
"Okay, Mr. An. By the way, there's nothing going on in the company recently. Why don't you take this opportunity to take a walk around Beijing?" Mr. Cao asked An Chen with a smile.
"I just came back from climbing the Great Wall." An Chen said.
"Oh, I just saw Song Shanshan. She said that she had just climbed the Great Wall. Didn't you two come back together?" Mr. Cao asked curiously.
"Oh, she will come back first if she has something to do." An Chen said.
"You two didn't quarrel, did you?" Mr. Cao continued to ask.
"Mr. Cao, why are you so concerned about my personal affairs?" An Chen asked doubtfully.
Mr. Cao did not answer, but moved an office chair, sat in front of An Chen, and whispered: "An Chen, I am more than ten years older than you. Even if I am one of your elder brothers, I have always been there." I admire your character and ability, and I will give you a heads up in private if you have some words."
When An Chen heard this, he quickly stood up and closed the ajar door of the office. He sat down in front of Mr. Cao and whispered, "Brother Cao, keep talking."
"An Chen, I heard Mr. Song say that now that your parents are gone, you have to be careful about everything. Do you know why Mr. Song insisted on sending Lao Jia over?" Mr. Cao asked.
"Didn't Mr. Jia want to come over on his own?" An Chen said doubtfully.
"Lao Jia is Mr. Song's uncle, don't you know that? As for me, I will help you complete the first project in Beijing and then go back. Lao Jia will always follow you. On the surface, It's to assist, but secretly it's to monitor. I sent Song Shanshan here as your assistant. I also saw that this little girl likes you. If the two of you get together, I guess Mr. Song will feel free to divide Beijing. The power of the company is in your hands." Mr. Cao called An Chen in a low voice.
An Chen was shocked when he heard what Mr. Cao said.
After a while, he calmed down and said, "Thank you, Brother Cao, for reminding me. I, An Chen, am grateful."
"You don't need to thank me. I admire you from the bottom of my heart as a person, and I just want to remind you. Okay, no more, then I will go back to spend time with my family first, and I will come back in a few days. If anything happens to the company , you can call me at any time." After speaking with a smile, Mr. Cao stood up and left.
"Okay, you go back and have a good rest. There should be nothing going on in the company for the time being." An Chen got up and escorted Mr. Cao to the door of the office.
Mr. Cao's reminder just now made An Chen break into a cold sweat.Unexpectedly, Mr. Song and Mr. Jia kept their secrets secret so well. He had not discovered this relationship even after coming to Shangpin for several years.It turns out that Mr. Song has never really trusted him. He clearly distinguishes between the palms and the backs of his hands, outsiders and his own family. No wonder before coming to Beijing last time, Mr. Song repeatedly told him to discuss things with Mr. Jia more often!The intention of arranging for Song Shanshan to follow him this time is obvious. If he firmly refuses to be with Song Shanshan, what will happen to his future?
Thinking of this, An Chen became even more upset!
According to the current situation, it is not suitable to have a serious fight with Song Shanshan for the time being. As long as he can act upright and stand upright in the future, be careful about everything and not be plotted against.When the wind blows, no matter what, the project must be completed now. After the project is completed, he should make next plans for his future.
