Chapter 99 Don’t cry, you won’t be pretty when you cry
When Lin Yan arrived at the company, she happened to meet Su Xin waiting for the elevator with a pile of coffee.
Lin Yan took the coffee from her hand and asked, "You still have time to buy coffee for others? Have you finished the work I gave you?"
"Sister Lin Yan." Su Xin muttered, "I'm on my way..."
"Did Bai Shuang ask you to buy it again?"
"Um……"
Lin Yan didn't respond and walked into the elevator.
When she arrived at the translation department, she walked straight to Bai Shuang's workstation and threw the coffee on her desk.
The coffee spilled over and spilled onto Bai Shuang's keyboard. She was about to get angry, but when she saw it was Lin Yan, a flattering smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Sister Yan, good morning."
Lin Yan didn't say a word and went straight to the point: "Don't bother Su Xin with errands in the future. Su Xin is my assistant, not yours. Understand?"
Bai Shuang nodded and said, "I understand, Sister Yan."
"Well, get busy." Lin Yan turned to Su Xin who was following behind her and said, "Come to my office."
When they arrived at the office, Su Xin spoke first.
"Sister Lin Yan, it's just a small matter. I just bought some coffee. You don't have to stand up and speak for me."
Lin Yan sat on the sofa: "Come and sit."
Su Xin sat beside her, counting her fingers, burying her head and not daring to look at her.
Lin Yan looked at her listless appearance and suddenly wondered whether it was a right decision to bring Su Xin to study for a master's degree.
After all, everyone pursues different things, and not everyone can withstand the pressure like her.
This guy has been smiling less and less since he came to Yishuo.
"Su Xin, do you still want to stay in Yishuo?"
"I do!" Su Xin raised her eyes instantly, thinking that she had done something wrong, and asked with a frown.
"Sister Lin Yan, I...I haven't made any mistakes recently. I've been studying very hard. Do you...do you not want me anymore?"
"No, I just think you're unhappy."
Su Xin thought for a moment, then sighed and looked at her.
"Sister Lin Yan, I've certainly felt very tired recently, but I've also learned a lot. I'm already 24 years old, and I can't afford to live my life this way any longer. If I want to fundamentally change my life, besides having a family to support me, I can only achieve it through hard work."
"I didn't understand why you worked so hard before. But now that I'm in Beijing and away from my parents, I have to spend money on food, clothing, housing, transportation, and going out. I understand how difficult life is. So, when there's pressure, I naturally want to move forward."
"Sister Lin Yan, if it weren't for you, I would never have been able to get into the Master of Translation program in my lifetime. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I cherish it so much that I can't wait to stay here."
Lin Yan doesn't know how to say nice things, so she can only encourage her with straightforward words.
"Well, then you should work hard and pass the assessment as soon as possible so that you can become a full-time employee of the Yishi School."
Su Xin's eyes were firm: "Yeah!"
Lin Yan raised her hand, patted her shoulder, and spoke softly.
"Su Xin, I've seen all the grievances you've suffered recently. At work, I'm your boss, but outside of work, you can treat me as a sister you can confide in."
As soon as the words fell, Su Xin couldn't help but twitch her nose, and her originally calm eyes instantly turned red. The grievances that had been suppressed in her heart for a while burst out like a flood.
She couldn't hold it in any longer and started crying with her shoulders shaking.
Lin Yan took out a tissue and wiped the tears from her face: "Xiao Su, stop crying. You won't be pretty when you cry."
Su Xin wiped her tears and sobbed, "Sister Lin Yan... they always bully me... they say I'm a country bumpkin... and they isolate me together... I haven't done anything wrong..."
Lin Yan slowed down her voice and looked at her seriously.
"Su Xin, when your heart becomes richer and stronger, the bad words of others will not hurt you."
"When I first graduated and started my Master's program in Translation, I was bullied just like you. Back then, even though I was living a simple life, they made rumors about me every day. But these are inevitable things in life, and looking back now, they're nothing to worry about."
"So, crying is useless. The best way is to work hard to make yourself stronger."
"Sister Lin Yan... you're so good at talking... unlike me who can only spit..."
Lin Yan was amused by her appearance: "Okay, stop crying."
Su Xin wiped away her tears, blew her nose with a tissue, puffed out her cheeks and nodded as if to regroup.
"Sister Lin Yan, I've suddenly realized something! We shouldn't be fighting among ourselves! It's their fault, and I'm not at fault!"
"That Bai Shuang always says I'm a piece of shit. So what if I'm a piece of shit? No one dares to step on me! Flowers can still be put on my head! I'll just be a piece of hardworking and ambitious shit, suffocating her to death! Disgusting her to death!"
Lin Yan: "Good boy, with your mentality, you will succeed in everything you do."
Su Xin quickly adjusted her mood and wiped her face with her palm: "Dad is going to work!"
"Wait." Lin Yan handed her a document: "Review these two documents and go to Manzun with me this afternoon."
"Sister Lin Yan, I see you don't have any plans to go to Manzun this afternoon."
"It's a last-minute addition. I have to go on a business trip tomorrow, so I sent it to President Xun in advance today."
"I can just deliver the documents. Why bother going there in person?"
"This translation document is very important and cannot be wrong. I have to check it with President Xun in person."
"All right."
…
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Yan and Su Xin set off for Manyun.
On the way, Lin Yan called Xing Yu.
"Ayan."
"What are you doing? Are you feeling better?"
"I'm lying down at home, it's just a minor injury."
"Well...I'll try to come back early today."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
After a brief chat, Lin Yan hung up the phone.
When they arrived at Manzun, Su Xin went to park the car first, and Lin Yan went in first.
The front desk clerk wanted to call General Xun's office and ask Secretary Li to come down to pick her up, but Lin Yan said that was not necessary and that she could go up by herself.
So I took the elevator directly upstairs.
When she arrived at the office door, Lin Yan knocked and was let in.
But the voice inside was not Wang Yixun's. It was so familiar that it made her heart skip a beat.
When the door opened, Lin Yan was completely stunned.
Sitting at the desk opposite was Xing Yu.
He was wearing a snug black suit, holding a pen in one hand and flipping through the documents on the table with the other.
At this moment, he is concentrating on reviewing documents.
That serious and dignified look made her dazed for a moment.
It was nothing like the simple and rough look of his usual clothes.
She was stunned.
Why was Xing Yu in Manzun? And was he still working in Wang Yixun's office?
At this time, Xing Yu also raised his eyes.
Their eyes met, and Xing Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Ayan?" Why did she come suddenly?
Lin Yan walked towards him in confusion, looked at his suit, and asked with a frown.
"Xing Yu, I just called you twenty minutes ago. Weren't you at home? Why are you in Manzun? And..."
Lin Yan lowered her gaze to the document in his hand: "Also, what are you doing now?"
Xing Yu was silent for a few seconds, put down the pen in his hand, stood up, walked around the table and came to her.
"Ayan, I told you."
