☆, Chapter 112: Appropriate Distance
Shi Lanlan packed her things very quickly, or perhaps she didn't have many things in the store anyway, and soon she came out carrying two small bags.
Manager Liu also took this opportunity to settle Shi Lanlan's salary and handed it to Shi Lanlan in an envelope.
Normally, resignation must be reported in advance, and the person will be released only after a suitable candidate is found.
But Shi Lanlan's situation was special. First, she had Gu Yan's support, and second, Manager Liu also wanted to get rid of her quickly, so not only did he not deduct a cent from her salary, he also gave her an extra bonus of several hundred yuan.
Shi Lanlan naturally had no complaints. After thanking Manager Liu, she said goodbye to all her colleagues and left the jewelry store with Gu Yan.
After leaving the store, Gu Yan took the two bags from Shi Lanlan's hands and handed them to Zhuang Chen.
"You and my little sister go back to the car first and wait for me. I have something to say to Lanlan."
"Ah?" This development was somewhat unexpected, and Gu Ran was stunned.
If the original story had developed as it did, everyone should have returned to the car together, and Shi Lanlan asked Gu Yan worriedly: Ah Yan, if I quit this job, what other job can I find?
Of course Gu Yan would not ignore it. After a little consideration, she asked Zhuang Chen if Shi Lanlan could go to their company.
Zhuang Chen originally felt that Shi Lanlan was quite pitiful. Their company was so big that there was room for a small employee, so he agreed.
But why is the plot going in the wrong direction now?
My eldest sister asked me and my brother-in-law to get in the car. She wanted to talk to Shi Lanlan alone. What did she want to talk about? Was she talking about Shi Lanlan's future career?
[She wouldn't have agreed to let Shi Lanlan go to Zhuang Chen's company first, and then informed Zhuang Chen after returning to the car? Oh my god, that would be even harder to refuse.]
[What should I do? What should I do? I have to think of a solution.]
Zhuang Chen didn't have as many thoughts as Gu Ran. He felt it was normal for the two of them to talk alone, so he smiled and greeted Gu Ran, "Let's go, little sister."
Gu Ran was a little hesitant, but couldn't find an excuse to stay, so she finally followed Zhuang Chen.
[Let's wait and see what happens, maybe the plot will change.]
…
"After quitting this job, what are your plans next?"
After the two of them walked away, Gu Yan asked Shi Lanlan directly.
“…” Shi Lanlan was speechless for a moment.
"I…I don't know."
She stuttered, her expression full of confusion, and looked at Gu Yan with some expectation.
"Ayan, does your company have any suitable positions for me? I don't have high requirements, as long as I have a job to support myself, being a clerk is fine."
Gu Yan shook his head and for the first time did not respond to her expectations.
"Sorry, our company currently does not have a suitable position for you."
Shi Lanlan lowered her head in disappointment, and at this moment she suddenly felt a little dissatisfied.
Since there is no suitable position for her, why should we help her quit her current job?
Shi Lanlan has completely forgotten that she was able to get this job because of Gu Yan's help.
Many things are like this, a little bit of kindness will be repaid with a big bit of grudge.
When one person has become accustomed to helping another person, an occasional rejection will make the other person feel particularly unacceptable.
"Then..." Shi Lanlan hesitated and glanced in the direction where Gu Yan parked the car.
"Can I ask Zhuang Chen? His company is quite relevant to my university major. I don't have high requirements, just a small position will do."
“…”Gu Yan.
I originally thought that I had interfered too much and let the wolf into the house.
It turns out that even if I didn't mention it, Shi Lanlan would still bring it up.
At this moment, Gu Yan suddenly felt a little funny.
It just feels ridiculous.
She lost the last bit of pity she had for Shi Lanlan and asked back expressionlessly.
"Do you have to rely on others for everything? Can't you make a little effort yourself?"
"Ah?" Shi Lanlan didn't expect Gu Yan to say such a thing. She looked at her blankly, unable to react for a moment.
Gu Yan scoffed, "If you only need a small position, there are clerks everywhere. Why bother Zhuang Chen?"
Shi Lanlan: "I..."
"You just want to take a shortcut. This isn't a problem at all. Whether you're working for me or Zhuang Chen, you'll have acquaintances who can look after you. You don't have to go to a new company and face all sorts of new situations. You'll also have some privileges."
Gu Yan mercilessly exposed Shi Lanlan while also analyzing herself.
"I don't mind this, because life is not absolutely fair. I am always happy to be able to provide some convenience and help to my friends."
She always felt that with her help, Shi Lanlan would gradually become stronger and one day become a strong woman who could stand on her own.
Unfortunately, she was wrong. Shi Lanlan never wanted to be a strong woman.
Shi Lanlan wants to be a canary, relying on Zhuang Chen and being kept by Zhuang Chen.
And Zhuang Chen doesn't seem to like business women who share the same status with him. Shi Lanlan's dependence on him makes Zhuang Yan feel fresh and useful.
Otherwise, where would the love come from?
Gu Yan had been wrong all along. She, Zhuang Chen, and Shi Lanlan were all from different worlds.
So in the end, these two people entered the same world and left Gu Yan behind.
Gu Yan tried to think about it. If something like this really happened after her family was destroyed as Gu Ran said, she would probably become evil like Gu Ximing.
I feel like the whole world has betrayed me and I don’t have much to miss.
But it’s different now. Gu Yan has lost nothing. She has a loving family and a successful career. Facing all this, she can think rationally and behave calmly.
People from different worlds cannot stay together for long, but people from the same world will eventually come together slowly.
After realizing this, Gu Yan no longer had any resentment.
"If you want to go to Zhuang Chen's company, you can ask him yourself."
"From now on, I have no say in his affairs."
"You should take care of your own business."
Gu Yan said sincerely.
Shi Lanlan's expression changed again and again. "Ayan, what do you mean? Have you and Zhuang Yan...broken up? Did you have a fight?"
"Did I do something wrong? Are you mad at me?"
"I'm not angry. We're all adults and we're responsible for our own lives. I can help you temporarily, but I can't help you forever. You'll have to stand up on your own in the end."
Gu Yan said something that seemed like chicken soup, but was actually the truth.
She patted Shi Lanlan's shoulder gently and said, "Work hard in the future. It's getting late. I have to take my younger sister home. You can take a taxi back."
As Gu Yan spoke, she pulled Shi Lanlan to the side of the road and waved to stop a taxi.
