Everyone knows that Pang Qian has been very good at studying since childhood, and is playful and greedy, and has been beaten and scolded by her parents a lot. She was once in the middle school and even passed the last place in the class in high school. In the whole year of high school, she was always the last place in the class. Pang Shuisheng was angry every time he went to a parent-teacher meeting.

Many people think that Pang Qian was lucky to get into a high school entrance examination. During the college entrance examination, she could get one or three colleges or even a junior college. But later, she was admitted to a key university and then joined an international investment banking job. Jin Aihua's sister asked Jin Aihua: "Do you Qianqian have a monthly salary of 5,000 after you become a regular?"

Jin Aihua snorted: "Five thousand? What a joke!"

"Not even five thousand? Qianqian is in Shanghai, and only five thousand can live a decent life. If there is no such number, it would be better to come back to City E and find a job with a salary of three or four thousand, so as to save the rent and stay with you."

Jin Aihua snorted and raised her chin: "We Qianqian became a regular and guaranteed annual salary of 250,000 yuan, and every month it will be 20,000 yuan!"

"Oh Yoyo Yoyo!" Jin Aihua's sister was frightened, "What bank is she in? Is her salary so high?"

Jin Aihua's nostrils were upturned: "She is in an international investment bank, investment bank! Do you understand internationally?"

Pang Qian rented a single room in Pudong and took the subway to and from get off work every day. The building where her company is located is located is near the Oriental Pearl. From the office window, she can see the tall and magnificent TV tower every day.

One day a few years ago, she stood in the tower, pointed to the tall buildings outside the tower and said proudly: "I will go to work there in the future!"

A few years later, she really did it.

However, the person standing beside her at that time no longer knew where she was.

Pang Qian started her career, and her work was much busier than she thought. Sometimes she had to run for work in the company. The rental house really became a place where she just sleeps. Pang Qian worked overtime almost every day, socialized, and occasionally had to go on business trips. She applied for a passport and Hong Kong and Macao pass. The first time she went to Hong Kong, she played Disney and the Ocean Park, and bought a lot of things on shopping. The second time she went, she bought a bunch of things. When she went there for the fifth time, she finally calmed down.

The company organizes a foreign trip every year. At the end of 2007, Pang Qian went abroad for the first time and went to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. When she returned to E City during the Spring Festival, she brought a lot of gifts, perfumes, skin care products, Disney toys, and watches to the old and young people at home...

Everyone had a reunion dinner in Pang Shuisheng's spacious and bright new house. Everyone praised Pang Qian for being beautiful now, with white skin, good temperament, and excellent work.

The uncle said: " Raising a daughter like Qianqian is really a great achievement. Qianqian, now your parents are only concerned about your lifelong affairs."

Pang Qian said: "Uncle, I'm not even twenty-three yet."

"You can start looking for it. Let's talk about two years and get married at the age of 25, just right."

Pang Qian laughed: "I'm very busy with work now and I don't have time to fall in love at all."

The little aunt touched Jin Aihua gently and asked in her ear: "Sister-in-law, Qianqian is still thinking about the little boy without hands living next door to your house, right?"

Jin Aihua changed her face and said coldly: "Nonsense! Nothing is true!"

Pang Qian is really busy, so busy that she has no time to get together with her old classmates. On the weekend, Wu Feiyan asked her if she really had to wait for the "missed boyfriend". Pang Qian thought for a while and said, "I'll tell you something. Some time ago, a boy in my company seemed to have something to do with me and came to ask me for a while. Once at lunch, he called me to go to the restaurant below to have noodles, and I went there."

"Then what?"

"We just ate the noodles together. He ordered a bowl of kimchi fat beef noodles, and I ordered a bowl of braised beef noodles. After the noodles came, we ate it. As I ate it, I did something awesome."

"What's up?"

Pang Qian smiled and said, "I told him that my braised beef is very delicious. I asked him if he wanted it. He said no, but I didn't listen. He had to pick up a chopstick of beef in his bowl and said you can try it, it's really delicious."

Wu Feiyan frowned: "Why are you so disgusting? How can you pick up beef for others after you have eaten?"

"I did it on purpose. Didn't he say he like me?" Pang Qian looked at Wu Feiyan strangely, "You have dinner with your boyfriend, don't you eat the things in his bowl?"

"I have a cleanliness and can't eat it." Wu Feiyan asked, "What about it later?"

"Later, the man became stupid and stopped eating noodles. He said he was full." Pang Qian laughed loudly. After laughing for a while, she stopped, "Feiyan, am I very bad? In fact, I will not eat the things in that person's bowl, whether he has eaten it or not. I can't even eat the things in my parents' bowl, but in this world, I will eat the things in a person's bowl, and I am sure that he is willing to eat the things in my bowl."

In 2008, the global financial crisis broke out, seriously affecting the industry where Pang Qian was located. Many companies began to lay off employees. Several of the department where Pang Qian was located were laid off. She was terrified to work. Fortunately, Zou Liwen has always kept her.

In 2009, the economic situation recovered slightly, Zou Liwen privately asked Pang Qian about his opinion. He was about to change jobs to E City by the end of the year, and his position would jump directly from the department manager level to the company's vice president level. Pang Qian had almost no hesitation and agreed to go with him directly. Even if she stayed, her annual salary would increase and her position would increase. However, Pang Qian was very grateful to Zou Liwen. She thanked him for protecting her behind in that most depressing year, and even her salary was only slightly affected. Pang Qian has always been a passionate person. She knew that Zou Liwen must establish her own circle of trust when he changed jobs, and she was a loyal soldier of him.

At the end of the year, Pang Qian followed Zou Liwen to resign. Before leaving Shanghai, one night, she ran to the Bund alone, found a digital snapshot site, and spent twenty yuan to take a big photo of herself with the background of Huangpu River and Oriental Pearl.

The photo is printed on the lower right corner: December 5, 2009.

Pang Qian opened her phone and saw a photo remade in her album. The same background, the small photo taken by Polaroid has become much lighter. In the photo, two little children are smiling happily. The date of the photo was: July 17, 1999.

Her fate with this city began in the summer of that year. After ten years, she finally left, and she felt regretful. She had made an agreement with that person to visit every corner of the city with him, eat all the food and see all the scenery. She also hinted to him that she would respond to him when she arrived at university.

But in the end, she was alone in this city for six years.

Pang Qian returned to City E with her luggage. As she said to Gu Mingxi, she had more than three years of work experience in an international investment bank. Pang Qian, who joined Jialai Investment, was very skilled in her work. She could already operate projects independently. She was on a business trip alone, dragging her suitcase and walking in unfamiliar cities. She shed her youthful student spirit, and no matter how bright the smile on her face was, she could not find the innocence and simplicity she used to be.

Pang Qian took the driver's license and bought a car. She owned countless high heels, as well as various beautiful clothes and jewelry. When she was free, she would go shopping, eat, and play table tennis with Zheng Qiaoqiao. Zheng Qiaoqiao graduated from English and worked in a foreign company, and had a good income. There was also Sun Mingfang, who became an auditor, and she was also single, and often made an appointment with Pang Qian to sing and drink coffee.

Pang Qian spent her 25th birthday peacefully. Since that night, Gu Mingxi called her for the last call. In more than four years, she has never received a call from Z City.

After returning to City E for half a year, she has kept the mobile phone number in Shanghai. The mobile phone in City E can be temporarily turned off, but the mobile phone in Shanghai has never turned off.

After dinner in the evening, Pang Qian went out alone and walked to the location of the Jincai compound. Of course, the compound was no longer there.

The commercial center has been built, and this block has become a new central point in City E. Pang Qian walked in the square. In the hot summer, a group of old ladies played loud music and twisted their waists and danced square dances. On the other side, several young teachers were teaching a large group of children to slide in straight rows.

There were many vendors in the square and citizens walking. Pang Qian saw an old man selling grilled sausages. She walked over and bought a bunch of 1.5 yuan.

After taking only one bite, Pang Qian spit out. This is not a grilled sausage, it is clearly flour.

She suddenly laughed, and she burst into tears. She gritted her teeth and ate this grilled sausage. Many years ago, it was the supreme delicacy in her eyes. I couldn't afford it, so I could only look at it. There was always someone next to her and said, "Okay, stop looking, saliva is about to fall. I have money in my pocket. You can take it yourself and buy a bunch of food."

At an hour, the musical fountain suddenly opened, and clear water gushed out, dancing happily to the music. Many children were playing around the fountain. Pang Qian stood aside with her arms in her arms, and after smiling for a while, she looked up at the sky.

Although the Milky Way is not that obvious, it can still be seen in such an empty venue.

Pang Qian knew she was stupid, and countless people said she was stupid. Yang Lu, Wu Feiyan, and Sheng Feng didn't know that person, so they said she was stupid. But why did even Zheng Qiaoqiao, Sun Mingfang, Li Xiaoyan, Zhou Nanzhong, and Wang Song say she was stupid?

China is so big, with more than one billion people, that person just hides. Pang Qian knows that he is alone now, and she can even be sure that he is still single. She imagines how hard his life is, but she believes that he will not give up, and there will still be a calm and gentle smile on her face.

She didn't know how she could find him. She tried to search from Kaixin.com and Renren.com, but obviously, he did not register on these social platforms.

She didn't even know which city he was in and what he was relying on to make a living. He didn't have a college diploma, so Pang Qian felt very sad about this.

She looked up at the Milky Way and made a wish in her heart.

I want to find Gu Mingxi, I want to find Gu Mingxi, I want to find Gu Mingxi.

In December 2010, Zou Liwen sent Pang Qian on a business trip to the north. She dragged her suitcase and stayed alone for two weeks. On the way back, she encountered a blizzard.

After a meal, Pang Qian and Yu Jialei came out of the restaurant and went to pick up the car together. Christmas was about to be seen. The shops along the street hung Christmas decorations, which looked romantic and warm.

"What are you going to do? Little crab." Yu Jialei put his hands in his coat pocket and asked Pang Qian beside him, "If you can't find him, won't you find a boyfriend?"

Pang Qian pulled the corner of her mouth and looked at him with a smile: "I already have news about him."

Yu Jialei was very surprised. At this time, Pang Qian's cell phone rang. When she picked it up, she was happy: "Ah, is it you? Xie Yi."

"Are you in City E?" Xie Yi's voice was filled with joy, "I have something to do tomorrow and I will go back to City E and have a meal together."

"Tomorrow? OK." Pang Qian said, "If you arrive, call me again. Let's make an appointment with the place and I'll treat you."

"OK, I'm driving, see you tomorrow."

Xie Yi hung up the phone and felt so happy.

That morning, the company held a regular meeting. A department reported on recent work and talked about a film and television copyright project. Xie Yi didn't pay attention at first until the employee said his name - "My Crab Miss".

Xie Yi felt a little subtle in his heart, and soon his employees brought him this picture book.

Employees reported that this picture book is selling very popular now, the author is also very popular, and it is still very mysterious. Many film and television companies are grabbing the film and television copyright of this picture book, and the quotations have risen.

Xie Yi is now a small boss of a media company. The company is in Beijing and has introduced dramas and released dramas. He has also filmed several TV series. Eighty percent of them have no waves, but 20% of them become popular and the company makes money.

Xie Yi quickly finished "My Crab Miss" in the office. He was so happy that he wanted to scratch the wall. He endured the urge to call Pang Qian. He grabbed his hair and thought of a solution seriously.

The next day, Pang Qian was still absent-minded and sat at her desk. She looked through the picture book for some time. She read the last paragraph over and over again.

——"My Miss Crab"

The mother of the ostrich left Mr. Ostrich, she became an angel and flew into the sky.

Before leaving, the ostrich mother agreed with Mr. Ostrich that they would be mother and son in the next life.

Now, Mr. Ostrich is left, and he thought, what should he do?

Brother Shark said, you can go find Miss Crab.

Mr. Ostrich shook his head. He had nothing left. Even if he found Miss Crab, what?

Mr. Ostrich thought that his most important task now is to support himself.

Mr. Ostrich likes the warm south, and later he went to an island in the southernmost part of the Animal Kingdom.

There was a beautiful sea, delicate beaches and delicious seafood there. The simple islanders only wore light clothes all year round. Mr. Ostrich finally left the cold north. He thought that he would never have to suffer from the cold.

Mr. Ostrich found a simple but happy job. In private, he could still make extra money by relying on his skills, and his days passed day by day. Mr. Ostrich's life gradually got on track. He no longer had to be frozen and hungry. He also had his own ostrich nest.

Everything in the past was like a dream. If you tell this story to others, others would probably just think, oh, Mr. Ostrich is so pitiful.

But Mr. Ostrich is not pitiful. He is very happy now. Do you ask him if he still remembers Miss Crab?

Oh, of course, he remembers it deeply.

The story doesn't end. Mr. Ostrich designed two endings for it:

The first ending was when the light flowed, and Mr. Ostrich completely lost his Miss Crab, and Miss Crab could never find her Mr. Ostrich. They walked on two opposite paths, one to the left and the other to the right. Many years later, they could never remember the past youth.

In the second ending, Mr. Ostrich remembers the words of the Ostrich mother. The Ostrich mother said that one day, his situation will be better and he can look for Miss Crab again. If she is single, he can pursue her again.

Every time Mr. Ostrich thinks of this scene, he can't help laughing, because it's really beautiful.

However, no one knows the cruelty and hardship of life better than Mr. Ostrich. There are many beautiful things, all of which are just illusions, or, once beautiful, are now broken.

Is Miss Crab single now? Mr. Ostrich doesn’t know. He just thinks that he has disappeared in her life for so many years. How could he suddenly appear and disturb her current life?

So, this is a story to be continued.
To be continued...
