Chapter 368: Rainy Night, Old Friend
Tu Ran glanced at Gu Xixing first, then immediately explained, "Our company has had this talent introduction agreement with the school for the past three years. I've met directly with the teacher every year. I'm not making an exception just for you. You don't need to feel any pressure. Even if we're friends, I wouldn't deliberately go easy on you."
"The several new prescriptions you gave me have already started clinical trials."
"Several experts have praised it highly. You have the ability."
"That's why I followed the formal procedures and asked you this. After all, you are still studying."
Gu Xixing gave a lot of explanations, simply because he was afraid that Tu Ran would misunderstand.
Tu Ran took the letter of appointment and took a look at it.
If it were in the past, she might really say, "Let me think about it."
Because Chengtian Pharmaceutical is the No. 1 pharmaceutical group in the north.
Many medical school graduates dream of becoming an excellent pharmacist and working in such a large company.
There is no need to mention how good the treatment is at Chengtian Pharmaceutical. It is one of the Fortune 500 companies and its corporate culture is to respect its employees.
But now...
After Gu Xixing said those words to her face that day, their relationship could no longer be just that of ordinary friends.
She had to consider Xie Nancheng's feelings.
Because now that she is not divorced, Xie Nancheng treats her well.
"I understand Mr. Gu's good intentions."
"But I'm sorry, I'm not up to the task."
"I can only give this opportunity to someone else who is more suitable." Tu Ran refused.
Principal Wu was slightly surprised. "Tu Ran, this is a rare opportunity. Why don't you think about it carefully?"
"Principal, I've made up my mind."
"Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. I know you are doing this for my own good."
“But that’s not my ambition.”
"I don't want to be a pharmacist, I want to be a doctor," said Tu Ran.
Gu Xixing immediately said, "We at Chengtian Pharmaceutical also have our own private hospital. The renovations are almost complete and it will be officially open by the end of this year. It's no problem for you to be a doctor, Tu Ran. As long as you want..."
In order to poach people, Gu Xixing almost said directly, "As long as you want it, I have it."
"No need. I want to open my own clinic."
Gu Xixing: ...
Principal Wu: ...
Well, this excuse was perfect, and both of them were speechless.
"In that case, then alright." Principal Wu looked at Tu Ran with some regret, then turned to look at Gu Xixing, "Xixing, the other four are all fine. Let's see if we can hold a letter of appointment handover ceremony later. This will also encourage more students."
"I have no problem. You can arrange it, teacher." There was a hint of loss in Gu Xixing's words.
"Since there's nothing for me to do now, I'll leave first."
After Tu Ran finished speaking, he nodded to Principal Wu and turned to leave.
Gu Xixing couldn't help but wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Principal Wu.
"Xixing, be rational."
"She is still married."
"She just rejected you, which shows her feelings. Even if it makes you feel bad, you have to accept it."
"Teacher, I understand the truth, but I..." Gu Xixing simply stopped pretending in front of his mentor.
His eyes were still fixed on Tu Ran's back, reluctant to leave...
"No buts, Xixing. Life is long, and there are gains and losses. You've already gained a lot. So it's normal to not have something. Not to mention you, even the president of a country will always have things that are not satisfactory. You have to accept these things and don't force it."
Principal Wu is older after all and does not want to see a tragedy caused by personal feelings.
Xie Nancheng is the most powerful person in Xiangcheng, not to mention whether Gu Xixing can afford to offend him.
Just by looking at Tu Ran's attitude, it has been made clear that she does not want to have too many opportunities to meet Gu Xixing. This girl is not dragging her feet, does not play ambiguously, and does not keep her fish. She is a person with good character. For this reason, Principal Wu has a higher opinion of Tu Ran. No wonder the old lady of the Xie family likes her so much.
That night, Xie's old house
Mrs. Xie called her son to come back for dinner, but Xie Nancheng refused, saying he was busy with work.
Since Xie Nancheng didn't come back, Zhou Han didn't come either.
There is only three people eating on the table.
The old lady of the Xie family, Mr. Xie, and Mrs. Xie.
"Why didn't Tongtong come?" asked Xie's father.
"Jiatong has been picked up and dropped off by Third Master's secretary recently and goes directly back to the villa." Pinggu replied.
"Is it the secretary that Nancheng had before?" asked Xie's father.
"Yes, sir."
After hearing Mr. Xie's indescribable expression, Mrs. Xie took the opportunity to say sarcastically, "You still have the mind to care about others, why not care about your own son? He's been bewitched by a vixen, and you, as a father, don't care."
"Don't say such harsh words."
"Tu Ran and Nan Cheng are also married, they are legally married."
"The couple seems to have a good relationship, so why is it called seduction?"
“Nancheng used to have a bad temper, but now he’s much better after marriage. I think he’s a suitable daughter-in-law.”
"Are you on the side of outsiders?" Mrs. Xie threw her chopsticks in anger.
"What do you mean by outsider? This is our daughter-in-law."
"She is an outsider. Her heart is not in our Xie family at all." Mrs. Xie complained.
"You are also a daughter-in-law. How would you feel if mom had made things so difficult for you? Try to put yourself in her shoes. Don't be unreasonable just because you are old." Dad Xie has been very disgusted with his wife recently.
To be honest, this wife is not the woman he loves deeply.
But over the years, this woman has devoted all her youth to the Xie family and Xie Nancheng.
He was grateful to her and respected her, so he was unwilling to say anything bad to her.
But ever since the family reunion banquet, she has become even more excessive, saying bad things about her daughter-in-law every year.
The old lady was tired of listening to it, let alone her husband.
"I'm being unreasonable? Do you even know the whole truth?"
"That woman is still flirting with that kid from the Gu family. She's not a serious woman at all."
"If you really love Nancheng, you won't be like this."
"That's enough, let's end this topic."
"Look at how you look now, like a shrew."
"We've been together for decades, and I really don't want you to become like this."
After saying that, Mr. Xie lost his appetite and went out after picking up his coat.
"Mom, look at him..."
"I'm full too."
"I'm old now, and I won't interfere in matters that are not my responsibility. You guys can make the decision yourself."
The old lady has actually been very conflicted since the last incident regarding family rules.
Are you also reflecting on whether you are wrong?
It almost caused a divorce between my grandson and his wife.
Although they are not divorced now, their grandson rarely comes home for dinner.
She was too embarrassed to call Tu Ran.
After all, we set the rules for them first, but they still refused.
The old lady still liked Tu Ran in her heart, but she also felt that she seemed to have more control over than just that girl.
So just ignore it.
After Mr. Xie had a quarrel with his wife, he drove out to find a place to have a drink.
Unexpectedly, it started to drizzle outside, and the visibility was poor for a while. Before he could see the pedestrians coming out of the small intersection, there was a squeaking and sharp sound of brakes, and Xie Huaiyu almost hit someone.
The figure is a woman...
He quickly parked the car and got out to check. "Sorry, sorry, it was dark and the road was slippery, I couldn't see clearly. Are you okay? If you feel uncomfortable, let's go to the hospital right away."
The moment the woman turned around, their eyes met and they were both dumbfounded.
Xie Huaiyu felt that his heart stopped beating at that moment.
