"You've worked so hard! You were busy with Fashion Week during the Chinese New Year and didn't get a break. Now that you're done, why don't you take a vacation for yourself?" Chen Wanzhen asked with a smile.
"I want to rest, but there's a ton of work at the company that keeps me moving forward."
That's the truth.
Many people think that being a boss is easy.
Actually, that's not the case.
Being a boss means having a heavier burden on your shoulders, being responsible for the livelihoods of so many people.
You have to keep working hard and persevering, otherwise what will your subordinates eat and drink?
Hearing my sigh, Chen Wanzhen couldn't help but smile. "You're still as workaholic as you were in college. But won't Mr. Su have a problem with you working so hard? How will you two have time for dates?"
Su Shenglin's drone confession on New Year's Eve was a huge sensation.
Not only is it known to everyone in Wuhan, but many netizens from other places have also seen it.
Chen Wanzhen later called me to congratulate me.
Hearing her joke like that, I felt a surge of bitterness. I gripped the steering wheel and said dejectedly, "We broke up."
"What?" Chen Wanzhen was taken aback. "Break up? Why? Such a sensational confession, and it's only been a short time?"
"It's a long story, but in short, we're not from the same world."
I don't want to discuss this topic in detail, otherwise I'll be completely sleepless again tonight.
"Did you call because you need something? Come over and visit sometime when you're free. I'll definitely make time to spend with you." I casually changed the subject.
Chen Wanzhen chuckled, "I called you to talk about this."
"What, are you coming here on a business trip?"
"No, I resigned!" Chen Wanzhen said in a surprising way, then excitedly announced, "I'm going back to work in Jiangcheng, so we can see each other more often again!"
"Resign? Why? Is it related to the headhunter you met last year?"
"Yes, we've reached an agreement. The offer is better, so of course I'm switching jobs. Besides, staying back in my hometown, I'm going crazy with all my relatives setting me up on blind dates every day!"
I can understand what she meant by that.
Many people flee their hometowns because they are fleeing their relatives and the familiar social network they live in.
Modern life is already stressful enough; having to deal with all the social obligations is simply too much to bear.
"Congratulations! People always strive for better things, and I support you. When are you coming over?"
I'm very happy to be chatting with so many friends soon.
"I'm calling you next week to ask if you can help me look at houses. I need to rent a place temporarily when I get there."
Speaking of houses, an idea suddenly occurred to me: "Are you renting alone?"
"Of course, who else would I live with?" Chen Wanzhen asked curiously, and before I could answer, she suddenly realized, "Could it be... you want us to share an apartment?"
"Yes! I was planning to move after the New Year, but I haven't found a place yet. Now that you're coming, I can find a bigger place for us to share. But I have a dog, I wonder if you mind?"
“I don’t mind. I have a cat, but I don’t know how to bring it over. I’m worried about the safety of air freight.”
Chen Wanzhen and I became more and more excited as we chatted, and we soon began to reminisce about the wonderful days of living together.
The next day, I asked Xiaoyingtao to help me find suitable housing in the area.
Whenever I have free time at noon, I go out to look at properties in person.
After wandering around for a few days, I finally found a place I liked.
I took a video and showed it to Chen Wanzhen, and she was very satisfied.
So it was decided immediately.
Over the weekend, I asked Li Yunwei and Xiao Yingtao to come and help me move.
Actually, I was extremely reluctant to part with it.
Because if I leave here, my chances of meeting Su Shenglin, or rather... contacting him, will become even slimmer.
But looking at it from another perspective, only in this way can I get out of this dark period as soon as possible and start a new life.
The same applies to Su Shenglin.
If he comes back sometime and finds that I've moved out, he'll definitely be sad and angry.
They thought I was moving because I wanted to get rid of him completely.
Why……
As I watched the room gradually empty out, it felt as if I was slowly erasing Su Shenglin's image from my mind.
As I closed the door, my nose stung, and tears welled up in my eyes.
Once we were in the car, Li Yunwei noticed my change in mood and gently patted my shoulder.
"Out with the old, in with the new. Do you remember the male model we found for you for your birthday? With your looks and qualifications, you have plenty of options. Don't put all your eggs in one basket."
I smiled and cheered myself up.
“I don’t want a man anymore. When Chen Wanzhen comes over, we can share an apartment. That way, I’ll have company when I get home from get off work. Why would I need a man? He’ll just be a nuisance.”
I spoke with great enthusiasm, but in my heart I was thinking: no matter who I find, they can never surpass Su Shenglin.
Having tasted the finest delicacies, how could one possibly swallow coarse and chaff?
Moving is the most tiring thing.
I spent the whole weekend cleaning and tidying up at home. I was so tired that my back ached and I had no appetite.
I was rushing to a meeting early Monday morning, so I asked Xiaoyingtao to bring me breakfast, but I was too busy to eat it.
I felt waves of acid reflux, which I thought was from hunger, and I thought I should eat something as soon as the meeting was over.
To my surprise, after the meeting ended, I stood up and hadn't even taken two steps when I suddenly felt dizzy, lightheaded, and swaying.
When I was completely unconscious, I heard Yang Qianmu and Xiao Yingtao rushing over at the same time, shouting.
Then what happened, I have no idea.
When she woke up again, she was already in the hospital.
"Sister Wan, you're awake!" Xiao Yingtao immediately came over with a smile on her face. "You were so scary. You suddenly collapsed out of nowhere. If President Yang hadn't caught you quickly, you would have definitely hit the glass door."
