Chapter 52 It doesn't matter who it is if it's not him.

"Zhao Zhao..." Su Wenjing paused before she could finish speaking, looking troubled.

Jingjie's hesitant expression made the girl a little uneasy. What's wrong?

"Sister Jing, just tell me directly." The girl pursed her lips.

"Zhao Zhao, I'm really sorry, but I might be going back to City A to develop my career, so this shop will be closing down."

The girl paused for a moment, then asked, "Did something happen? Is there anything I can do to help?"

She couldn't think of any reason why Sister Jing, who had stayed for so many years, would leave this city full of memories.

Su Wenjing was a little surprised. She had always known that the girl was a well-behaved and considerate child, but she didn't expect that even though she was about to lose her job, she was still thinking about her.

"It was when I went home for the Chinese New Year that I suddenly realized my parents have gotten old and now they need me, their daughter, by their side," Su Wenjing said calmly, tears welling in her eyes.

"Besides, I'm already in my thirties, and my parents want me to settle down and not live in the memories of the past." Su Wenjing gave a bitter smile as she said this.

After thinking for a moment, Su Wenjing said, "I went on a blind date during the Spring Festival. The other person is a very suitable marriage partner, so we are going back to City A to get married."

The girl could hear a hint of helplessness and despair in Sister Jing's tone.

"He's a suitable marriage partner, but not the one you want to marry." This thought flashed through the girl's mind.

"Jing-jie, are you really sure?" The girl looked at her worriedly; this was almost a life-long decision.

The girl also wanted Jingjie to look forward and not be trapped in the memories of the past, but she was afraid that Jingjie would regret this choice in the future.

"It doesn't matter who it is, as long as it's suitable." Su Wenjing's voice was faint and weak.

People can only cherish the past in their hearts; we can only look forward.

Before leaving Nan'an City, Su Wenjing paid the girl several months' salary, giving her enough time to find her next job.

The sweltering hood was on the girl's head, and the glaring sunlight made the mascot costume even hotter, with the temperature several degrees higher than outside.

A faint light shone through the small hole in the doll's nose. The girl inside the doll had fine strands of hair clinging to her cheeks, her face flushed red, and her pale lips trembling slightly.

The girl, who had finally finished handing out flyers, took off her heavy headgear and breathed in the fresh air outside.

After leaving the dessert shop last week, she hasn't found a suitable part-time job and now only offers her flyer distribution.

Sitting by the small flower bed, the girl unscrewed the bottle cap, took a few sips of water, and then went into the mall to get the remaining flyers.

A man in a suit and tie, standing not far away, looked at the girl carefully for a few moments, making sure he wasn't mistaken.

Shouldn't Miss Gu be working part-time at the dessert shop at this time? Why is she handing out flyers here?

Liu Lei was completely baffled and decided to go back and investigate first.

I was on a business trip to the US with the CEO for the past few weeks and just got back yesterday. What happened in those few short weeks?

Top management of the Tams Group

QQ

"Enter."

Liu Lei placed a stack of documents on Dan Anwen's desk. "President, these are all documents from the US branch."

The man grunted in response without even looking up.

Looking at Liu Lei still standing in front of him, Dan Anwen asked casually, "Is there anything else?"

Liu Lei bowed slightly and said, "I saw Miss Gu handing out flyers at the entrance of the mall this morning."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man frowned slightly between his expressionless brows and looked at Liu Lei with a cold gaze.

“I checked and found that the Zen-like dessert shop closed down last week. Ms. Gu is currently unemployed, so she is handing out flyers at the entrance of the mall.”

Seeing the president's eyes lowered and his silence, Liu Lei thought he had guessed wrong and that the president would not give any instructions.

Just as he was about to leave, Dan Anwen called him back.

"Go and buy a dog and put it in Jinshan Villa," the man said casually.

"Huh?" Liu Lei was so shocked his jaw almost dropped. Why the sudden talk of buying a dog? Has the topic suddenly turned so strange?

"Didn't you hear me?" the man asked coldly, frowning.

"Yes, President, I'll get right away." Liu Lei muttered to himself as he left the office.

Dan Anwen stood up, his tall figure standing in front of the bright floor-to-ceiling window of the office, his eyes gazing calmly at the surrounding high-rise buildings, lost in thought.

......

"Zhao Zhao, were you handing out flyers at Wanyue Shopping Mall a few days ago?" Dan Si asked, raising his lazy eyebrows.

Gu Zhaodi was surprised. How did he know? She hadn't even told Guan Xiang about her unemployment.

How did you know?

A hint of unease flashed across his nonchalant expression, and he coughed lightly, his fist pressed against his lips. "I... I saw it."

"Yes, what's wrong?" The girl nodded and looked at Dan Si with a puzzled expression.

His indifferent expression relaxed; thankfully, he hadn't given himself away.

"Here's the thing, my uncle's family just happens to need someone to take their dog out for an afternoon. Do you want to come? The salary is five thousand a month."

After saying that, Dan Si stared at the girl intently, as if afraid that she would reject him.

The girl was wondering when Uncle Dan's family got a dog.

She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then pursed her lips and said, "If Uncle Dan needs someone to walk his dog, I can go for free."

"How could I let you do this for free? You absolutely have to be paid." Dan Si looked helpless, unsure how to persuade the girl to take the job.

Seeing the girl's stubbornness, even willing to give up the money that was already in her hands, Dan Si really had the urge to bang his head against the wall.

He had a deal with his uncle. Since his parents went abroad after the start of the semester, all of his living expenses were controlled by his uncle.

My uncle said that if things go well, he'll double my living expenses.

At first, he wondered why his uncle would specifically ask for Zhao Zhao, but then his uncle said that Zhao Zhao was someone he was sponsoring, which explained everything.

"What are you talking about?" Guan Xiang walked in from outside the classroom at this moment.

Dan Si seemed to see a savior, "Guan Xiang, you should come and persuade Zhao Zhao to come work as a dog walker at my uncle's house."

Before the girl could stop Dan Si, Guan Xiang heard everything clearly.

As expected, Guan Xiang looked puzzled. "Why is Zhao Zhao working at Uncle Dan's house? Doesn't she work part-time at the dessert shop?"

As she spoke, Guan Xiang looked at the two of them suspiciously, waiting for one of them to explain to her.

Dan Si then realized that Guan Xiang was unaware of the girl's unemployment. He quietly turned his head away and thought, "Hmm, the scenery outside the window is really beautiful!"

Seeing the girl's evasive gaze, Guan Xiang understood everything. "Zhao Zhao, am I still your sister?"

The girl sensed the anger in Guan Xiang's voice and put on a rare smile. "Xiangxiang, the dessert shop closed last week, so I haven't been working."

Fearing that Guan Xiang would launch into a long, rambling monologue, the girl quickly added, "But I've found a new job; I hand out flyers in the mall."

"Fine, you dare to hide it from me!" Guan Xiang sat down angrily, not even glancing at the girl.

The girl knew she was in the wrong, after all, she had promised Guan Xiang that she would definitely tell her in time if anything happened in the future.

"I was thinking of settling things down first before telling you," the girl said, tugging at Guan Xiang's school uniform and looking at her timidly.

"Then what about walking the dog?" Guan Xiang asked with a stern face.

Upon hearing this, Dan Si seized the opportunity to say, "It's just that my uncle wants someone to walk his dog."

"Uncle Dan's family has dogs?" Guan Xiang was shocked. She had never seen such a creature in Dan Garden since she was a child. She only found out after asking around that Uncle Dan had a cleanliness obsession.

Dan Si touched the tip of his nose. "It was a gift from my uncle's friend, so it needs a human to clean up its poop. We can take it for a walk in the evening."

Well, that's what my uncle told him anyway, but whether it's true or not is anyone's guess.

"I just thought of Zhao Zhao right away. She works so hard handing out flyers and doesn't even get paid much. She might as well go work for my uncle." Dan Si accurately grasped Guan Xiang's thoughts; she would definitely let Zhao Zhao do an easy job.

Guan Xiang nodded knowingly, "Zhao Zhao, don't you want to go work at Uncle Dan's house?"

Gu Zhaodi shook her head. "I can go, but I don't want a salary."

Guan Xiang knew what Zhao Zhao was thinking. It was simply because Uncle Dan was her benefactor, and she was too busy repaying his kindness to ask for a salary.

Then she thought of Zhao Zhao's current job, which not only had no salary but was also tiring in the sweltering summer.

“But your current job isn’t good. How about this, you can come and stay at my place.” Guan Xiang thought this was the best idea, so Zhao Zhao wouldn’t have to earn money to support herself.

The girl shook her head violently. "I'd rather go work at Uncle Dan's house."
