☆, Chapter 113 Differences
"Ayan..." Shi Lanlan obviously wanted to say something, and obviously didn't understand her sudden words.
But Gu Yan didn't want to explain any more. She pushed Shi Lanlan into the taxi, paid the fare, wrote down the license plate number, and gave some instructions.
"Text me when you get home."
Gu Yan closed the car door and told the driver Shi Lanlan's home address.
The driver stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away.
…
"Sister, you're finally back. What took you so long to talk about?"
As soon as Gu Yan returned to the car, Gu Ran came over and asked eagerly.
[The eldest sister didn't actually send Shi Lanlan home in person, but only hailed a taxi. This is a bit out of context.]
[Are the two of them not having a good chat?]
"Nothing, just a few words of advice." Gu Yan didn't say anything more and turned to look at Zhuang Chen who was sitting in the back seat.
Zhuang Chen smiled at her and said, "Since Lanlan has quit her current job, she should probably find a new one. With her personality, I guess I'll have to rely on you."
"Yes, she did ask me for help, but I told her that she has to walk her own path in life. I can help her temporarily, but not forever." Gu Yan said calmly, "Besides, there is no position suitable for her in our company."
“…” Zhuang Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise, as if he didn’t expect Gu Yan to say that.
After thinking for a moment, Zhuang Chen said, "I remember Lan Lan is from the Department of Architecture. Your company doesn't really have any jobs that match her major, but our company..."
"Do you want her to go to your company?" Gu Yan raised her eyebrows slightly. She was no longer surprised that Zhuang Chen would say such a thing.
Just as she hadn't mentioned it just now, Shi Lanlan also took the initiative to ask her to lobby Zhuang Yan.
"I don't mind." Zhuang Chen shrugged. "Clerical work can be arranged casually, but the salary won't be too high."
"It's up to you. If you think she's good, you can go and ask her." Gu Yan said indifferently.
[What's the plot going on here? The eldest sister clearly didn't mention it, but the eldest brother-in-law actually brought it up first!]
[So the problem isn't just with my eldest sister. Even if she didn't mention it, my eldest brother-in-law would have had the same idea.]
[Could it be that Big Brother-in-law has already developed feelings for Shi Lanlan?]
[Oh my god, this jerk! I was just fooled by him and thought he could change for the better!]
Gu Ran's eyes turned unfriendly as she looked at Zhuang Chen.
Gu Yan held back her laughter, but she didn't feel as depressed as she had imagined from a broken heart.
"No, what do you mean? It sounds like I have to force Shi Lanlan to come to my company." Zhuang Chen gradually realized that something was wrong and felt helpless.
"Are you jealous, Xiaoyan? I don't mean anything else. I just want to help Shi Lanlan. After all, she is your best friend. Weren't you also worried about her before?"
"Your company doesn't have a suitable position for her, so I want to help you share your worries."
"I don't mean anything else. I'm just discussing the matter. Why are you so nervous? Why are you explaining so much?" Gu Yan raised the corner of her mouth. "From what I know about you, you seem to talk a lot when you feel guilty."
Not only is it solemn, many people are like this, using words to cover up their guilty conscience.
"Who feels guilty?" Zhuang Chen put away his cynical posture and became serious.
"You're not serious, are you? Or are you kidding me? I don't like jokes like that."
"Why should I feel guilty? I was just trying to help your friend."
"I said before, you have to walk your own path. I can't help her for the rest of her life." Gu Yan said seriously, enunciating each word.
"Okay, then I won't help either." Zhuang Chen spread his hands. "I'm doing this for your sake. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this matter today. I would have left long ago."
"Yeah." Gu Yan nodded calmly, expressing his belief.
In fact, she did believe it.
Zhuang Chen is not the kind of person who is particularly fickle-hearted and would not be greedy for more. It is obvious that he does not have any feelings that cross the line for Shi Lanlan now.
Just a little pity.
Of course, it is true that he changed his mind later. He fell in love with her as they were getting along, and then he became indecisive.
Even if Gu Yan could avoid it, she couldn't let it go.
She looked at Zhuang Chen and asked, "Are you free tomorrow afternoon?"
"The princess needs it, how could I not have time?" Zhuang Chen smiled. "But you, didn't you say you'd be busy with a new project? How did you find time to look at my sign?"
It will indeed be very busy. Gu Yan just told Zhuang Chen the day before yesterday that she has no time for dating in the next week.
But the situation has changed. She now wants to deal with her emotional affairs first and can postpone unimportant work.
"Let's meet at the Japanese restaurant where we had our first date at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. You don't have to come to pick me up, just go to the restaurant and wait." Gu Yan said.
Zhuang Chen was completely oblivious to her subtle change in attitude and asked with a smile, "Are you planning a surprise for me? It's not an anniversary or any other holiday lately."
"You'll know when you get there." Gu Yan didn't say anything more and turned around to start the car.
"We are going home, you should go back too. Don't be late tomorrow."
"I understand, Your Highness." Zhuang Chen reached out from behind and pinched Gu Yan's shoulder, then opened the door and got out of the car.
[This plot is going in a completely wrong direction!]
[Big sister actually refused Shi Lanlan's request.]
[This Shi Lanlan is indeed a little white flower, relying on others everywhere and actively making requests to the eldest sister.]
[What Big Brother-in-law said just now...I can't call him Big Brother-in-law anymore. No matter how I look at him, I don't think he can be my Big Brother-in-law.]
[From Zhuang Chen's words and my elder sister's reaction, it seems like she's also aware of something...]
[Could it be that Zhuang Chen is already hooking up with Shi Lanlan? Then Big Sister discovered some clues and was hinting at something just now?]
[This isn't impossible, which is why Big Sister is unwilling to help Shi Lanlan anymore.]
This logic seems perfect.
On the way back, Gu Ran's thoughts wandered further and further, but the more he thought about it, the more logical it seemed.
Gu Yan didn't want to pay any attention at first, but after listening to Gu Ran's increasingly outrageous imagination, she felt that she should intervene.
She glanced at Gu Ran who was deep in thought in the rearview mirror, cleared her throat and spoke.
"Xiao Ran, do you have anything you want to ask?"
Since Gu Ran was too embarrassed to ask, she would take the initiative to offer him a way out.
Gu Ran's expression brightened upon hearing this. "Sister, I remember Mom said you and Shi Lanlan had a very good relationship. I'm a little surprised that you rejected Shi Lanlan's request for a job. Haha, hahaha..."
Gu Ran smiled foolishly to hide the unnaturalness of his expression.
Gu Yan curled the corners of her lips and said, "We were indeed very good friends in the past, and I'm not going to break up now. It's just that some recent events have made me understand a lot, so my way of dealing with things will be a little different from before."
