In those years, we agreed to travel around the world together.

"Clearly, what are you talking about? Can you speak louder? " Oh, my baby is sleeping. I will call you back later! ","well, all right. "

In the last three months, a similar dialogue has been staged between Chuchu and me. And the so-called "call me later" is always far away. Later, I stopped calling and began to reluctantly accept that a woman who was a mother didn't have much time to accompany me on the phone.

Who is Chuchu? My college roommate, a fellow villager, used to be my best partner in college. I write the manuscript and she plays it. We were once known as "the peerless pride of the Faculty of Arts" and ran around the campus. I can't remember how many times I skipped classes in college, either reporting on major campus activities or preparing for large-scale campus parties. In those years, I can't remember how many people I interviewed, how many roads I ran and how many articles I wrote. The only thing I remember is that when we were in the heyday, Chu Chu looked at me and said with certainty, I think we must be strong women in the future! I also echoed in a hurry, "it is necessary. After graduation, let's travel around the world! " "

Also with the enthusiasm of running forward in college, after graduating from college, Chuchu and I both chose to go back to our hometown and March into our bright future! At that time, the major recruitment networks had not yet become the mainstream of the industry, and we both came from our respective hometowns to go to the job fair in the main city together. The job fair was crowded, and the two of us shuttled back and forth in the crowd, staring at the major recruitment information and carefully looking for future owners.

Maybe I was used to writing and drawing in college. After graduation, I want to enter the cultural media industry and continue to write and draw. Young and frivolous, he refused a bank job that outsiders thought could make money. I want to do what I like, as simple as that.

Fortunately, Chuchu and I both got the interview invitation soon, which probably happened to be the peak of post-holiday employment, and our interviews were arranged in the afternoon. I applied for copywriting planning, which is also the media company I have been talking about all my life. Chuchu is applying for an executive position. I forgot the specific company. I only remember that there were only three stops among the companies we interviewed at that time. Before the interview, we cheered each other up and joked that our fate, even the work unit is so close, can still come to dinner at noon! So, I must win the interview this afternoon!

It's already 2: 30, and we say goodbye to meet the first job interview in our lives. In retrospect, the first interview was a bit silly. I am very worried about whether I will meet a pyramid scheme company and imagine how to escape after falling into a trap. After all, this is the first interview. Although a little immature and nervous, but sincere enough. At that time, I brought a thick stack of articles and planned columns written in college. My preparation is that my talents can not only be said, but also be believed by you.

"Are you finished there?" Clearly send me a message, "well, it's over. What about you? Is everything all right? " As soon as this short message came out, Chuchu couldn't wait to make a phone call and chatted with me about the interview experience in the afternoon. "I think the company is not bad. The boss also bought afternoon tea for everyone, and the working atmosphere was quite relaxed. " I can hear that Chuchu is very satisfied with the company interviewed this afternoon. "Now, let's wait for the notice. I hope there is news! " Chuchu and I smiled at each other and strolled around the mall to kill time, waiting for the arrival of the discount.

They are all shopaholics, but they always think about the interview results, but they have no intention of shopping, which directly becomes a road. "Hey, hello! Yes, I am. Really? Great, thank you! Yeah, well, yes! Thank you. " "Yes! I was admitted! Chuchu! " After hanging up the phone, I shouted happily to Chuchu! "really! Great! Congratulations! Congratulations! Ha ha! Welcome to your first job! " Chu Chu said to me with a smile. "Yes, now waiting for your news! Don't worry. " "Uh-huh!"

However, until six o'clock in the afternoon, there was no movement. She was a little upset and began to feel a little lost. "I am not hopeless, am I?" "Chuchu, don't worry, wait, maybe there will be news tomorrow morning." "Really?" "Well, I will," I replied firmly. My firmness stems from my understanding of Chu Chu's strength. She looks sweet and has a glib tongue. She is Hua Dan who is in charge of the campus radio station. How can she not even have an administrative clerk?

Until the next afternoon, the company that Chuchu applied for had an echo, but it was the news that we couldn't raise our glasses together. "Well, the interview was unsuccessful and failed." Hearing the news, I was instantly shocked. How did Chuchu, the anchor who was all the rage on campus, lose the election? But I didn't go too far to find out the reason. I just vaguely remember that I lost to a girl with long hair and elegant A-line skirt.

Perhaps, there is no shortage of blood and enthusiasm for fresh graduates, but perhaps it is just because the recruitment company prefers a plug-and-play veteran and is unwilling to spend time and energy to train a new person. However, we didn't understand this truth at that time. We only feel that the problem lies with ourselves, that we didn't perform well in the interview at that time, and missed the job opportunity because we didn't answer a question skillfully.

"Then I'm going home. Just stay in Chongqing and develop well. I am optimistic about you! " Chuchu still cheered me up. "What about you? Do you have any plans to come to the job fair? " I wonder where Chuchu is going. After all, we agreed to travel around the world together. I also hope ChuChu can stay and work together in a strange city. But this sentence is hard for me to say, because I don't want to put pressure on Chuchu. "You don't have to worry about me. I will go back to my hometown first. I heard that our small radio station is still recruiting interns. You know, what I like best is broadcasting. Since Chongqing can't get along, I'll try my little radio station. " "Well, well, Chuchu, you must stick to your dreams."

In this way, I stayed in Chongqing because of my first job, and Chuchu left Chongqing and returned to her small hometown because she didn't get her first job. However, at that time, we never thought that this separation doomed me and Chuchu to have completely different life trajectories. My own destiny was rewritten at that moment. It will be many years before you realize that some choices have decided the fate of our lives.

Later, I started my career in this small advertising company. At that time, there was no incisive adjective "overtime dog advertising dog", but maybe it was because I was full of passion for graduation, maybe it was because I liked my job. I don't feel tired even if I work overtime all night. On the contrary, I seem to see the shining career path ahead. Chu Chu, who returned to her hometown, followed her inner plan and went to a small radio station for an internship despite her family's dissuasion. She took an internship salary of 300 yuan to 400 yuan every month and ran back and forth with Taiwan Province at home. However, they all do what they like and don't feel hard.

However, there will always be a group of people lurking around the newly graduated college students, posing as elders and experienced people. They will use decades of life experience to convince us that we are immature and tell us that only when the fruits in the fruit basket are ripe will there be good buyers. If you fall to the ground, you will only die. Chuchu and I began to see such a group of people around us. My family advised me to go back to my hometown and take an examination of a civil servant. My life will be stable and quite comfortable. Chuchu's side, the seven aunts and eight aunts are more confident. You see, you have graduated for half a year, other people's children are working to earn money, and you are still practicing. It's not easy for your mother to raise you alone. Let's take an examination of a civil servant once and for all!

In this noisy initial time, Chuchu and I were still very firm, telling everyone at the top of our lungs on the phone that we should do what we like and stick to our dreams, and one day they will be impressed. Only later, Chuchu's voice slowly disappeared, until one day she called, "I'm not going to practice in the radio station, because I heard that there will be no new establishment in the radio station in recent years, and my family has also urged me badly." If this continues, I'm really worried that it will delay time. All, I ... I still work hard to take the civil service exam! " Clear voice, unusually calm, calm enough to hear the helplessness behind it.

"So you're not going to try Chongqing? You can come to Chongqing to be a roadshow host, run a few more games, and you will be famous in the advertising circle, so … "I tried to share the story I saw with my own eyes in the past six months with Chuchu, hoping that she could take a step further. Chuchu said, "Well, wait for my test. If I don't pass the exam, I will come to Chongqing to mix with you! " "Clearly silently hung up the phone, seemingly free and easy words, sounds a bit sour. Some people are unwilling, others complain. At the beginning, we came to Chongqing to travel around the world without hesitation. Why did she flinch at this moment?

It's just that sometimes it seems that fate is arranged like this. Chu Chu is destined to be admitted to the village official. Since then, she and Chongqing have never had much overlap. This time, she has completely divorced from our travel team.

In the past five years, I have also moved from a small planning of an advertising company to a director of a world-class well-known enterprise. A few years ago, I would call Chuchu with tears and tell me about my workplace grievances. Now Chuchu occasionally tells me about family chores. Five years have passed, and her little life is full of flavor, with a loving husband and a lovely baby. As for me, I am still traveling alone or working hard for my career in my favorite field. Only occasionally a little lonely, I will occasionally think of us. We once boasted about going to the ends of the earth bravely, and we have been to our own battlefields together. Sometimes I wonder, if Chuchu interviewed for that job, would she take root in Chongqing like me? What chapter will her fate be?

In those years, we set out together, worked hard together, and blindly believed that our horizon would live up to our initial heart. However, as we walked, we became more and more helpless and afraid of the invisible future, so we obviously chose a more secure lifestyle in order to get away with it. Now, although she occasionally complains about the complexity of family life and the loss of dreams in her circle of friends, at least she has a warm little family, and I envy the warmth of a family of three when I go home alone after working overtime late at night.

In those years, we agreed to travel around the world together. In retrospect, although not, it is worth remembering and cherishing. We miss the ignorance and fearlessness at that time, and the like-minded friendship that cheered each other.
