2020 year, China.

-Liang! Can you bring me the flower vase from the 1st floor?

-Sure, mom!

Hello 👋. My name is Yue Liang, and I'm 22 years old this year. I've never had a job my whole life, but I'm always helping my mother with her Flower Shop. I'm dreaming of becoming an entrepreneur and open my chain of restaurants in the whole world.

Many of you wonder, how could she not work at all before 22 y.o. Well, let's say this is the profile that my"writing mother" gave me hehe. After you got to know me, let's return to the original story)

-Here it is mom. Anything else you need? I still have 20 minutes before going to college, so I can still help you a bit.

-No, it's ok. Go prepare yourself and revise your lessons

-Ok. Then, I'll be going. Bye~

-Bye, Moon

-Huhuhu,Hahaha,Hohoho~(this is how I'm singing on my way to college😅). Btw, I'm studying economy and Management at college, because I have a dream that I want to fulfill. My mom were against me going to college, because she thought that it was a waste of time and money. Her shop is running well, so I could follow her steps and inherit her business, but, her ideas aren't mine, so I told her that I'll work officially in her shop. She will pay me as an ordinary worker and I'll earn my money for college myself. On these terms, she agreed to let me study. My father left us when I was 4 because he couldn't bear to see a girl in his family. Later on, we found out that he had a lover and after he left us, he married her and had children. Unfortunately, as we were one a family, later on, we heard tragic news. My father died in a plane accident when he was traveling to Mexico. Karma is a strange thing🤔

So, while I was telling you all of this, I arrived at the entrance of my college. Let's hurry as I have a lesson in 5 minutes.

-Good morning, students.

-Good morning, Mr. Smith😩

-What's with your faces? Are you so disappointed that I'm a man, and not a sexy woman-teacher, with short skirt, tight fitting shirt, high heels and red lips?

-What are you talking about, professor😂😂😂 No!

-Good mood! Now, let's start our lesson)

.... this is the main principal.... that's what you'll have on exam...

In such short time, my classes ended and I was going home remembering everything that I learned today. But, life has another plan for me. As I was walking I bumped into something, or more concrete, into someone.

-Agh! I'm sorry sir, I didn't pay attention. I'm sorry

-It's ok. You don't have to worry. I also didn't pay attention. Are you OK?

-Yes, thank you for asking.

Such low voice. When I turned my eyes to him, I saw a handsome young guy, with green eyes, muscular body, and in a fitness outfit. Who is he?, so handsome I thought to myself.

I started to pick up my things, and when I wanted to apologize by inviting him to a cup of coffee, he disappeared. Like he never even existed and our meeting didn't happen. And I thought to myself, such a mysterious person... When will I be able to see him again...

As days were passing, I was remembering that person again and again. Unconsciously, I started asking myself: What is he doing now? How did pass his days? What did he eat today? Sometimes, I didn't hear my mom when she was asking me something. I felt a bit embarrassed, until one day he appeared right in our shop asking: I'm sorry, I heard you need one more person for work. Do you have any requirements? When I saw him, my mind went blank. What... is... happening???

-Oh, yes. Good morning. So you're looking for a specific job or just any work is ok?

-Anything is ok. I just need to do something to earn money and pass my time.

-...I see. Moon, can you show him the.... Moon?... Moon! Yue Liang!!!

-Ah? Yes! Did you need something?

-Yes, please. Can you show this young man the changing room for our workers? Btw, what is your name, young man?

-I'm Tai Yang, ma'am.

-Then, Tai Yang, welcome to our shop. Can you start working from today or from tomorrow?

-I can from today if it's ok with you.

-Sure,sure. Then, change your clothes and Moon will show you everything here.

-Aaah?? Yes, sure. Let's go.

-So, Yang, here is our changing room. We start working at 9 AM, so you can come by 8.30 to help arrange everything and change your clothes. Btw, Yang, don't you go to college or university? We need your information, to help arrange a comfortable working schedule that won't interfere with your studies and personal life. Now let's go, I'll show you how to use the cash-machine, to move flowers, arrange bouquets and how to speak with our customers. Please be attentive.

-Sure, I'm listening carefully.

When I was explaining him everything, thought i had a poker face, my heart was racing like crazy.I think he saw that I was nervous. Ahhhh!!!! What should I do if he will consider me crazy or stupid? Boo-Hoo...

-Did you understand everything?

-Yes. Thanks for explaining.

-It was my pleasure. Also, I'm sorry to ask, but, did we meet before?

-...No, i don't think so.

Ahhh!!!!!!!!!!! Why did I ask him that?! Am i crazy or what??? OH, my poor life...woooo

-Ahahaha😅, I'm sorry for asking. I think i saw you somewhere, that's why I asked.

-No, it's ok. I didn't pay much attention anyway.

-Hahahahahah,ha... I see...😅(you didn't pay much attention, huh. What a loser I am....🥲🥲🥲)

-Also, about what you asked me earlier.

-Huh?

-About college or university

-Ah,yes. What about it?

-There won't be any problems, don't worry, because I'm not going anywhere so I have plenty of time to work.

-...I see. Then, please change your clothes, and let's go working. Welcome to our show, anyway.

-Thank you

Do you know what was most shocking that day? After just listening to my explanations,Yang started doing his work excellently, better than me in a way. Also his good looks attracted many female clients all day, so we had a very, very,very busy day. After closing our shop, he helped cleaning everything, helped seeing how much we earned that day. In a word, he did everything perfectly. Me and my mom were shocked at how fast he learned everything. He was a genius.

-Yang, I'm sorry to ask but...

-Yes, ma'am

-What marks did you have in school?

-Huh? Oh... I had medium and bad marks. I wasn't in the best students category.

-I see. Thank you for answering

-No problem. Then, I'll be going for today. Have a nice evening

-You too. Thanks for your hard work today

-Mom, i thought he was one of the best in school based on how fast he learned everything

-Me too, but it seems that we had wrong ideas.

-Yeah...

-Don't think too much. Let's go eat and then go study for your lessons tomorrow.

-Yes, ma'am. Hahaha

-Hahaha. That's my baby

The food was delicious, and after cleaning after myself, I went studying, because tomorrow I have one of the most difficult subjects: Microeconomics....

For the next day most difficult subject I learned until 3 AM ... To say I was tired the next day, it is as saying:I'm okay. Well, I have a dream and I must work harder for it. The next day(I mean this day 🥲) I woke up at 8 AM. Can you guess how much I slept? Well... not more than 4H30. I eat my breakfast, and eagerly went to college. On my way, I met Yang. We exchanged our greetings and after, both of us went our separate ways.

I arrived at the college and my acquaintance greeted me, and in such a happy way that I unconsciously answered him excitedly:

-Hello, Liang! (you can imagine him as... your bias or your favorite manga or anime character 😅)

-Heya H/N! (his name)(I'm sorry, I'm not good at making up names so please don't hate me😂) Are you going to your classes? Which way do you have to go?

-Oh, I changed some of my classes so today, as well as tomorrow and on Friday we're going to have the same classes😁 Are you exited?

-Well yeah, but isn't it happening that we're going to have the same classes all week round ?

-Ow, really? I just changed them to the ones that my friends told me that were easier for them😅 So I choose them. But, hell ya, we're going to have so much fun during our classes as well as our practical projects. Aren't you excited?

-... Ye. Let's go. The class is starting soon

At that time, I wasn't expecting that this change would be a big,big problem to my personal life.

-So today, dear students, I'm going to assign you to a 3 person-project that you'll have to prepare for the next 2 weeks. You'll have to chose a shop in our city, study its financial papers(how much they earn, how much they spend,the profit etc etc). Then present everything in a presentation format as well as give a speech in front of your colleagues. Interesting, right?

-Yes professor.

-I'm sorry professor, but what can we acquire of this project?

-Good question. First of all, you'll work in teams, so you'll learn to compromise, find a common time for you to work together. You'll learn to decide the work and then unite it so the project could be a succes. Then the PPTX skills and Public Speaking skills aren't needed to be mentioned. So, this project will give you the possibility to understand what it's like to work on a big project in a company, what is awaiting you in the future. Is everything clear?

-Yes, thank you.

-Then, this is everything for today's lesson. I give you the possibility to choose your members. If by tomorrow you won't send me the list of your group members, I'll assign you personally where I think is right.

- Moon, let's form a group together.

-Sure. Then let's find our 3 member

-Am... I'm sorry. Can I be in your group?

-Yeah, sure.What's your name?

-My name is Chen Xing.

-Chen Xing. What a lovely name. Can I call you Venus?

-Ah? yeah,sure, but why such a beautiful name? It doesn't suit me. I'm so ugly, that no one wants to look at my face...

-Really? I think you're cute...

-Ah,ah,ah... thank you🥺🥺🥺

-So, let's think when we'll meet again to prepare our project. When are you all available ? I can on Friday, Sunday and Saturday in the evening, and on weekends in the morning too. What about you?

-Mainly, I can on weekends because after classes I work until midnight.

-Yeah, me too... 😞

-Huh? Venus, you ok?

-Yes,thank you for asking.

-Ok. Then where do you want to meet?

-/-We're ok with everything

-Hmm.... Then how about meeting at my flower shop?

-Wow,Liang, you have a flower shop?

-Yeah.My mother's shop,I work there 😄😄

-...Ok. Btw, um...Liang..

-Yes?

-(gasp😮)What do you think about using your shop for our project? Will your mother be ok with that?

-Hm... good question. I'm not sure, but I'll ask her today and give you all an answer ASAP. So, can I have your numbers? 😊

-Yeah,sure🙊

-Aw...Liang! How can you be so cruel and not have my number? Boohoo🥲😂😂😂

-Sure,sure. I'm cruel. So, boy, give me your number😆

-Ok! Here it is +XX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XX

-Here's mine +YY-YYY-YYY-YYY-YY

-Ok. I'll form a group and I'll text you my mother's answers later. We finished for today, so let's go our classes and see you when I'll have an answer😊

-Bye~

-Goodbye,Liang, and.. H/N.

-🤚

.....

-H/N, what do you think about our 3 member?

-Well... I'm not sure, she's very shy and I'm a bit uncomfortable around her.

-I see. I find her very cute, and I think she will be a great help in our project. I'll befriend her after this project😁

-I see, but I have to warn you, to be careful around people you're not acquainted with. She may betray us in the future.

-How can you say that! She's nice and I believe she won't harm us, so don't you dare say such words about her. Understand?!

-Yes...🐶🥺

-Well then, I'll be going home. Have a nice trip,H/N. Bye

On my way home, once again,while I was listening music I bumped into someone. I apologized and who do you think I saw? Him. The man I see every night in my dreams. Yang

-Yang,are you okay? I'm sorry. I didn't see you

-It's ok, but I just thought that such a scene happened already once, but I can't remember when.

-Ahahah😅😅😅😓😓 I see. You finished working for today?

-Yes... so now I'm going home to chill a bit, tomorrow we have work to attend to

-Btw, Yang, I wanted to ask you this for a long time. Do you have any dream? If you don't want, you don't have to answer. I'm just curious👐👐👐 Because you said you don't study and have plenty of free time so you decided to work.

-I don't have any dreams. My dream is just to live and die. Thought, to live you need money, for money you should work🤷‍♂️ So, you could say, my dream is to die...

-(slap)How can you say such things so casually!!!!! It's a life!! It's the life your mother gave you!! How can you say your dream is to die!!! Are you crazy?! If you don't have a dream... ask me. Maybe I'll be able to help you find a dream, a goal in this life.. Don't die, please😢😢😢 Live...

-...I'm sorry that I said such things so casually and I hurted you but... why do you cry?

-Because I'm sorry for you... and I'm sad... what happened to you for you to have such thoughts...

-It's ok. Anyway, it's not your fault.

-Please! Come to work in our shop until you'll find a reason to live. Please...I'll help you so...

-I understand... I'll come to work tomorrow, and 2 days later, and a week,a month,a year later. Ok?

-Yes... Thank you . Waah... I'm sorry, your clothes are dirty...

-It's ok, anyway I was planning on changing clothes tomorrow.

-Sorry, then see you tomorrow?

-Yes, see you tomorrow

I couldn't even imagine that my words that day, changed the life of a person and decided my fate...
