Chương 35: Chapter 35: New Beginnings and Forgetting
After a while, Xu Tianna sent Su Ran to Robben's residence. Today, Su Ran will spend the day in this ten-square-meter attic.
He was still dizzy and ran straight to the bed, then fell into a deep sleep.
In a half-awake state, Su Ran saw Xu Tianna busy. She found an electric kettle, boiled hot water, and went downstairs again. After a while, she bought milk powder and honey and made him a cup of honey milk.
"Don't sleep yet, drink the milk." Xu Tianna said.
Su Ran didn't want to move at all, and responded vaguely: "Put it over there first, I'll drink it later."
"It will be cold later." Xu Tianna was relentless.
Su Ran struggled for a while and sat up from the bed. Xu Tianna handed the milk to him, and sat on the chair opposite and looked at him.
The freshly made milk was very hot, and Su Ran drank it very slowly. Xu Tianna urged again: "Drink quickly, I will clean up and leave after you finish drinking."
"There is nothing to clean up, if you are in a hurry, just go first." Su Ran said.
"Wash the cup, and pour you a cup of hot water, so you can drink it when you are thirsty." Xu Tianna said.
"Why are you so nice to me?" Su Ran said, and took a big sip of milk, but it was too hot to swallow.
Xu Tianna asked back in surprise: "I just made you a cup of milk, is this considered very good to you?"
Yes, Xu Tianna just made a cup of milk with a little effort, why did Su Ran think she was very good to him?
After a long time, Su Ran realized that he had been lonely for too long, and there was no woman around him for too long. Every time he drank too much, he faced the discomfort of vomiting alone, vomiting again and again, and fell asleep when he couldn't vomit anymore. Where has there ever been a woman who would be so careful to make a cup of milk for him?
Finally, Su Ran drank a glass of milk. Xu Tianna washed the cup and poured him another glass of boiled water. This time she did not urge him to drink it, but put it on the table beside the bed and said, "This glass of water is here. Drink it when you are thirsty."
"Oh." Su Ran responded.
Xu Tianna picked up her handbag and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she seemed to suddenly remember something and asked Su Ran, "Do you remember what you have to do tomorrow?"
"Get up on time to go to work." Su Ran answered without thinking.
Xu Tianna frowned: "No."
"What is that?" Su Ran asked in confusion.
"Think about it yourself, I'm leaving first." Xu Tianna said as she walked out of the house, closed the door, and disappeared from Su Ran's sight in an instant, leaving him full of doubts.
Su Ran lit a cigarette, sat on the bed, and thought hard for a long time, but couldn't think of what he needed to do tomorrow besides going to work. He simply put out the cigarette butt, covered himself with the quilt and went to sleep again. Since Xu Tianna was talking about tomorrow, he comforted himself.
The next day, when Su Ran got up, Robben was still sleeping. The nature of his job meant that he had to live a life of day and night reversal. Yesterday, he seemed to have come back in the early morning.
After a simple wash, Su Ran found a bowl of bucket noodles in a box in the corner, soaked it and ate it for breakfast, then hurried downstairs to wait for the bus to the company.
Robben's residence was relatively remote, and the bus was swaying on the road. During this long hour, Su Ran had been thinking about what Xu Tianna reminded him of when she left yesterday.
Perhaps because he was more awake in the morning, Su Ran finally remembered that Xu Tianna had acted out a play with him last night. Naturally, she would not help for no reason. There must be some exchange between them. Following this line of thought, he suddenly realized that he had to buy insecticide powder for her and sprinkle it in the bathroom today.
Su Ran was afraid that he would forget, so he set a schedule reminder on his mobile phone, and then he felt at ease.
After arriving at the company, before Su Ran had time to make himself a cup of tea, he was called over by Chen Jingming, the manager of the planning department.
He came to Chen Jingming's office and saw that the manager seemed to be in a good mood and asked him to sit down.
"Manager, you summoned me so early in the morning. Did I mess up something again?" Su Ran asked subconsciously. After all, in the past two years of work, Chen Jingming basically came to him to criticize him.
Chen Jingming smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. This time there is an important task for you."
"What task?" Su Ran asked curiously.
"This time GI set up a counter in our department store, which will make our Baoli Department Store officially enter the ranks of top department stores. The company wants to take advantage of this opportunity to carry out a full-scale marketing campaign, strive to be grand, and attract more international first-line brands to cooperate with our department store." Chen Jingming said.
"Manager, do you mean that I will be responsible for the planning of this event?" Su Ran asked in shock.
Chen Jingming nodded and said seriously, "Yes, this is a rare opportunity for you. You know, the traditional retail industry is now highly competitive, and has been strongly impacted by online shopping in recent years, and the living environment is very bad. Taking the high-end route and branding management is the foundation for our Baoli Department Store to survive in this industry. We must attract as many international first-line brands as possible to operate on-site and strengthen the brand advantage of our Baoli Department Store. Therefore, this event is a reflection of our company's core value. The decision-makers above attach great importance to it. I hope you can take on this important task."
"Manager, you know how capable I am. You should leave such a big event to Fang Yuan." Su Ran said with some retreat.
"Su Ran, opportunities don't come often. Fang Yuan's position as deputy manager of the planning department is a foregone conclusion, because he has made enough contributions to the company and the planning department, and no one has gossip. What about you, Su Ran? I want to promote you to be the leader of the planning copywriting team. I'm afraid others will also gossip, right? Do you understand what I mean?" Chen Jingming said meaningfully.
Su Ran certainly understood what Chen Jingming meant. He wanted to use this event to legitimately become the leader of the planning copywriting team. This was indeed a rare opportunity for him.
Su Ran was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "When will the preparation for this event begin?"
"GI and our department store's entry office signed the same agreement and started the preparation. By the way, GI plans to shoot the opening poster on the 15th of this month. You should confirm with the print model whether there is a schedule. This matter must not be wrong, understand?" Chen Jingming's expression became more serious as he spoke.
"Understood, I will call her to confirm immediately." Su Ran said.
Chen Jingming nodded and said: "Seize this opportunity well. Not everyone can have the opportunity to encounter it."
"Thank you for the opportunity, manager." Su Ran said sincerely.
After coming out of Chen Jingming's office, Su Ran immediately called Le Yao and told her the date for shooting the promotional poster. Le Yao confirmed that there was no problem, and Su Ran's heart finally fell. He knew that he should really work hard for his life, so he must firmly grasp this opportunity.
This was the first time that Su Ran was so eager to make progress and look forward to a qualitative change in his life after more than two years of not making progress.
After a busy day, Su Ran came to his senses at more than seven o'clock, and the various lights on the street began to decorate the city's night with colorful colors.
Sitting on the shaking bus, Su Ran's mind was full of the event marketing that was about to be prepared. Chen Jingming was right. This opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him, and he couldn't be careless.
After a long time, the car was still driving on the road. Su Ran took out his mobile phone from his pocket to check the time, but found that the phone was automatically turned off because it was out of power.
He looked up at the electronic clock on the bus. It was already half past eight in the evening.
At half past eight, Su Ran suddenly remembered that he had to buy insecticide powder for Xu Tianna after get off work today to help her get rid of those cockroaches that she hated.
He remembered that in the morning, he was afraid that he would forget and specially set a schedule reminder on his mobile phone, but who would have thought that the phone happened to be out of battery. This coincidence made him very upset. He was worried that this would make Xu Tianna completely disgusted with him. After all, she had a bad impression of him, and this mistake might be the last straw that broke the camel's back in their already fragile relationship. He didn't know how to explain to Xu Tianna, nor did he know how difficult it would be to get along with her in the future. The heavy workload made him unable to be distracted at all. Under this double pressure, he felt more and more depressed, and he only hoped to find a solution as soon as possible to prevent things from getting worse.
