There was a deathly silence in the photo studio and no one spoke for a while.
"I don't agree. Why did your art troupe ask our photo studio to leave for no reason? If she leaves with you, what will happen to the photo studio's customers who want to put on makeup?"
Master Kong said this in a very calm voice, neither humble nor arrogant.
She started poaching people right in front of him. She has no manners at all. Humph, as long as he doesn't agree, Su Nan can't leave.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. I should have asked for your opinion first. Although I asked Su Zhizhi, you are the leader after all." Chen Junping looked at Master Kong, bent slightly, and sounded quite apologetic.
Hearing this, Master Kong looked at his face a lot, but he did not give up the idea in his mind.
Master Kong was silent for a moment before he slowly revealed his plan: "It's fine to hire Xiao Su, but who will cover the studio's losses while she's away?"
Chen Junping was no fool, so he immediately understood what Master Kong meant and said with a smile, "Of course, we will bear the responsibility."
The art troupe is wealthy and the annual funding it receives is miles ahead of other departments. For them, bearing this amount of compensation is naturally a piece of cake.
So Su Nan just stood there in a daze, watching Master Kong and Chen Junping start discussing how to compensate, while Jiang Hongqin stood by and served tea and water.
No one asked for her opinion.
Well, in fact, she didn't want to refuse at all, and from what they said, they would give her a large sum of money for "running errands", which was really a big deal.
Just like that, Su Nan was arranged clearly by the two of them, and he would set off tomorrow to report to the 㹐 Art Troupe with a letter of introduction.
Looking at the three-digit salary in the contract, Su Nan almost drooled. This was a salary that required working for several months, but now he could get it easily by working for just a few days. Isn't it great?
But within two days, Su Nan realized that it was too early to say this. Making money is not easy.
Of course, this is all later.
In the evening, Su Nan went to the supply and marketing department to buy freshly baked roasted chestnuts, and then went home. When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw that it was pitch black inside, and it was obvious that no one was home.
Su Nan tilted her head in surprise. Zhou Rang hadn't come back yet today. Usually, he would have come back to cook dinner at this time, and would have picked her up if he was free. Could it be that the bureau was too busy today?
Forget it, how could a grown man get lost?
Because of what happened in the photo studio today, Su Nan was in a particularly good mood. She hummed a song and returned to the bedroom, and began to remove her makeup and change clothes. After finishing these two things, Zhou Rang had not come back yet, so she went to take a shower first.
It was not until night fell that Su Nan, who was sitting in front of the fireplace in her pajamas and with her long hair loose, became panicked. She hurriedly took her coat, ran out of the yard, and lay down on the gate to look out.
It was pitch black outside, with only a few rays of light leaking from the houses to illuminate the small world. The street was like a calm river, winding through the dense shadows of the trees. The rustling of leaves blown by the wind echoed in my ears, as if recalling the hustle and bustle of the day.
At this time, the street was deserted and terribly quiet. Su Nan swallowed hard, resisting the urge to run away. He stayed where he was, opened the gate, and leaned forward, trying to expand his field of vision.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no one on the road they often walked on.
"Could something have happened?" Su Nan muttered softly, his heart was in turmoil and he was very panicked. He wanted to go out to Zhou Rang's workplace to ask, but he was afraid of the dark road.
It was so late, if something happened to her on the road alone, it would be a disaster.
Just when Su Nan was extremely conflicted, she suddenly heard the sound of branches being crushed beside her ears. She was so scared that she subconsciously ran forward a few steps and screamed.
"Nannan, what are you doing standing here?" A familiar voice sounded. Zhou Rang, dressed in black, stood by the door with a frown on his face.
Su Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him. She walked up to Zhou Rang and was about to put her arm around his waist when he dodged her.
"Why did you come back just now? I was worried about you, so I waited for you here. That place is opposite to where you work, right?" Su Nan glanced at his empty hand, silently took it back, then raised a smile and asked with concern.
Zhou Rang shook his head, gave a quick explanation in a low voice, and then went into the yard first: "Something happened and delayed us."
Su Nan followed him into the yard and saw him close the gate and turn his back to her. A strange feeling flashed through her mind. She pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't ask.
Zhou Rang obviously didn't want to say more, so there was no point in her asking further questions.
"Have you eaten?" Zhou Rang asked in a low voice after locking the courtyard door. The lights were brighter now, and Su Nan could see that his face was filled with fatigue, his eyelids drooped, and he looked even more listless.
"I ate it." In fact, she didn't eat it, but she didn't want to trouble him anymore. If she said she didn't eat it, he would definitely make it for her.
"Yeah." Zhou Rang responded softly, nodded, went back to his room to get his clothes, went into the kitchen, picked up the hot water she had just left for him, and went directly into the bathroom.
He didn't say another word to her.
Su Nan stood in the yard, watching Zhou Rang do all this, with only two words in his mind: "abnormal". He had never been like this before, and something must have happened.
Even if he didn't want to say it, she didn't want to ask him under such circumstances and cause him more trouble.
What exactly happened?
This question remained unanswered until the two of them lay together at night. Su Nan opened her eyes and looked at Zhou Rang's back as he lay on his side. After hesitating for a long time, she moved closer and took the initiative to hug his waist.
But just as she put her hand on him, he grabbed it and let go of her hand. His low voice was particularly harsh in the darkness: "I'm tired, go to sleep, you have to go to work tomorrow."
Su Nan frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable. She had tried to comfort him, but he was still so cold. She snorted coldly.
"What the hell happened? You didn't even tell me. What do you mean by giving me that sullen look? I don't want to be your punching bag. If you're upset with someone out there, go find them."
After saying this, Su Nan's eyes couldn't help but turn red. She sniffed aggrievedly, put her hands over her eyes, and waited for a long time, but Zhou Rang didn't turn around.
Su Nan put down his hand and glanced at the motionless Zhou Rang, then turned over, imitated his movements, turned his back to him, and wiped his eyes stubbornly.
If you don’t want to coax me, then don’t coax me. Humph, I coax myself.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'm ten years older than you are."
"He must have some difficulties. He was so mean to me before. I can't deny everything just because of this one thing."
"I'll give him a red bean paste bun tomorrow. Sweet things can make people happy. I want to have one too."
"Zhou Rang, stop using cold violence against me..."
Before he finished speaking, Su Nan fell asleep. A tear slid across the corner of his eye and fell into the pillow, forming a small dot.
