Chapter 349 You should do your best
At noon, Gu Yuehuai went to Wei Luo's office with his bag.
Wei Luo frowned: "You're asking for leave today?" After that, she glanced at Gu Yuehuai unhappily: "If I remember correctly, the night school just started last night, right? You're asking for leave today?"
Gu Yuehuai sighed: "Editor-in-chief, you have to understand me. After all, my boyfriend has been gone for a long time. The new year has just ended, and I am only thinking about giving him a surprise. I really don't have the heart to think about work. The sooner I go, the sooner I can come back, right?"
Wei Luo looked at Gu Yuehuai with a complicated expression, knowing in his heart that she really wanted to leave Mass Daily.
After all, she was her immediate superior, so she spoke without a word of breathing when she said she was not interested in work.
Wei Luo shook his head: "Women should still focus on their work. Xiao Gu, even if you are not working at Mass Daily in the future, I hope you can become an independent person instead of relying on men every day. That will only hurt you."
She spoke these words with great earnestness, not as a boss, but as someone who had experienced it.
Gu Yuehuai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Editor-in-Chief."
Wei Luo was helpless and said angrily: "Okay, go ahead, come back to work early, okay?"
When Gu Yuehuai left the office, he turned around, blinked, and said jokingly, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that the editor-in-chief's son is quite good. He is handsome, talented, and has girls chasing after him. It shows that he is excellent."
After saying that, the door closed. Wei Luo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.

When Gu Yuehuai arrived at the state-owned hotel, Cheng Ling was already waiting at the door.
Cheng Ling was still a little nervous, glancing around. Seeing Gu Yuehuai looking at him, he hurriedly said, "Hey, you're here. Come in. I've already ordered the dishes. Just order some more if you want to eat."
Gu Yuehuai nodded and followed Cheng Ling into the restaurant. Business was still slow and the waiter was sitting on the chair with a worried look on his face.
She was afraid that the state-owned restaurant would close down due to poor business, which would make her temporarily unemployed. Unemployment means no job, no job means no money, no money means not having enough to eat, which would bring about a series of chain reactions.
As soon as Gu Yuehuai and Cheng Ling sat down, the waiter came up to pour water.
The waiter smiled and said politely, "Please wait a moment, the chef is cooking the dishes."
Gu Yuehuai looked at her twice more. She was a woman of moderate age. Her current situation was not good. If it were in the past, how could a waiter in a state-owned restaurant smile at a guest? Not being condescending was already very polite.
While thinking, Gu Yuehuai suddenly remembered that Wan Qinglan said that Huang Binbin's mother worked in a state-owned restaurant and was named a model in the service industry. Judging from the age of this woman, she should not be Huang Binbin's mother, so, it was the state-owned restaurant in the county?
It may seem like just a commune in a county, but there is a huge difference in status between them, and even the salary levels are different. In this sense, Huang Binbin is still an invisible high-quality young man with an excellent job, a good family background, and a good personality.
It has to be said that Wan Qinglan missed such a person, which was a loss to a certain extent.
After all, Huang Binbin truly likes Wan Qinglan, and this liking obviously did not form overnight.
Cheng Ling interrupted Gu Yuehuai's thoughts and only talked about some ordinary topics: "Comrade Gu, where do you work? Why did you suddenly think of going to night school?"
Gu Yuehuai took a sip of water and said, "Masses Daily, I am the art editor of Masses Daily. A few days ago, I heard that there would be a night school after the New Year. I thought it would be good to learn more, so I went there. I didn't expect to meet you."
"Comrade Cheng, why did you suddenly come to Qing'an County and become a teacher at the night school?"
Gu Yuehuai was also somewhat curious. This future fashion industry tycoon had inexplicably become a teacher. Could she still pursue that path in the future? If not, wouldn't she have indirectly changed Cheng Ling's future?
Cheng Ling paused, but did not hide anything and briefly recounted what had happened during the time Gu Yuehuai was away.
At that time, debt collectors came to the door every day. Cheng Ling had no choice but to move with his younger siblings. But he was afraid that they would be found if he moved too close, so he thought about it and went to Hong Kong, intending to come back after earning enough money to pay off his debts.
The debt owed by the family had nothing to do with them. His parents paid the price of their lives for it. Debt collectors were constantly going back and forth between the knitting factory and the Cheng family. In addition to the factory director Cheng Xianxu, there were many senior executives in the knitting factory.
The main force of debt collectors is actually still focused on those high-level officials, and they do not pay much attention to Cheng Ling, the son of the factory director.
Therefore, when Cheng Ling took his brother and sister-in-law away to Hong Kong, it did not attract much attention.
After he arrived in Hong Kong, he settled on a farm and raised chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep in his daily life. By chance, he met Li Xiangqian and Zhong Ling, who were colleagues working in an agricultural product company. They came to the farm to inspect and purchase.
After chatting, they found out that they were actually from the same hometown, both from Zhoulan City, and Li Xiangqian was from Qing'an County.
Cheng Ling has a deep memory of Qing'an County. He always remembered that Gu Yuehuai once said that if he encountered any unsolvable difficulties, he could go to the Dalaozi Production Brigade under Qing'an County to find her. To him, Gu Yuehuai was a friend who was willing to lend him a helping hand. This was an extremely rare warmth after the Cheng family fell, and he could never forget it.
"Later, Li Xiangqian said he wanted to come back to Qing'an County and asked me if I wanted to go with him."
Cheng Ling was silent for a moment, then looked up at Gu Yuehuai and said with a smile: "At that time, I was thinking that I would have to come back eventually, but I didn't know where to go. Li Xiangqian's words gave me a choice, and I didn't hesitate."
He held the water cup and said softly, "You know what happened later. The commune opened a night school and needed teachers. Li Xiangqian recommended me, so I took it on. It was a respectable job."
Gu Yuehuai nodded, it was really a coincidence.
At this time, the waiter brought the dishes to the table, and the hot dishes exuded a fragrant aroma.
"Do you plan to be a teacher in night school in the future?" Gu Yuehuai handed him a pair of chopsticks, somewhat curious.
Cheng Ling did not hide his thoughts and took a piece of food with chopsticks: "For a short period of time, if there is a new opportunity, I still want to make money. After all, I have younger brothers and sisters to support at home. They... are not used to the current life."
Speaking of this, Cheng Ling's face was covered with a layer of gloom, which showed that he had been troubled by this for a long time.
Gu Yuehuai did not comfort him, but fed him a bowl of "chicken soup for the soul": "There is nothing wrong with not wanting to live a hard life. Just work hard, and one day you will be able to bring them back to the good life they once had."
She felt no guilt at all when she said this. After all, it was the truth. As long as Cheng Ling remained determined, he would always become the wealthy clothing industry tycoon he was in his previous life.
