Chương 57: Chapter 57: Like a close friend growing up
Fang Yuan waited for Su Ran's response in nervousness and anxiety. After a fierce struggle in his heart, Su Ran finally said to him: "You are right. I will pretend that I have never heard of this matter." Fang Yuan was still worried and asked carefully: "Are you sure?" Su Ran nodded slightly, turned around and left the employee lounge. However, he was filled with an indescribable depression. What Fang Yuan said was indeed true. This matter was of great importance and might even affect the fate of the two shopping malls. Many people were involved. Chen Jingming told them such confidential matters based on his trust in them. If Su Ran leaked the secret to Xu Tianna because he couldn't bear it for a while, it would be unfair to Chen Jingming; but if he chose to remain silent and watched the lonely and indifferent woman being calculated by her uncle, it would be as if he was helping the tyrant. Su Ran seemed absent-minded all day, as if he was in agony, and finally waited for the time to get off work. He stared at the intricate neon lights that had already lit up outside the French window, and a sudden struggle surged in his heart.
He stared at the world outside the window for a long time, and finally picked up his backpack and said to Fang Yuan: "I'm leaving first."
Fang Yuan responded subconsciously, then suddenly looked up at him and said: "It's only seven o'clock, you're leaving now?"
"It's getting late, it's been an hour and a half since work."
Fang Yuan nodded and said: "It's hard to think freely after being stuck in the office all day. Then you go back first. If you have any brilliant promotional ideas, we can keep in touch at any time."
Su Ran made an "OK" gesture, and hurriedly left this office that made him feel depressed without saying goodbye to Fang Yuan.
He carried a shoulder bag and a cigarette, and swayed on the street with the flow of people. He was at a loss, not knowing where to go, and his mood became heavier.
Fifty meters ahead, across the street, the huge logo of Zhuomei Shopping Center was flashing on the roof. But who can see through the open and secret struggles behind this light? Who can penetrate this light and see through the ugliness of human nature?
Su Ran took mechanical steps and gradually approached Zhuomei Shopping Center, and then, as if driven by an invisible force, he followed the flow of people into the store.
In fact, he himself didn't know why he came to Zhuomei. Perhaps subconsciously, he hoped to tell her about the conspiracy against Xu Tianna and help her get rid of this disaster, but another strong resistance bound him tightly, making him confused, as if he had lost the ability to think.
He took the elevator from the first floor to the sixth floor. There were no floors above the sixth floor, and he had nowhere to go. He found a bench for customers to rest and sat down, looking at the customers coming and going with a dazed look.
The elevator door leading to the Zhuomei office area opposite suddenly opened, and Su Ran saw Xu Tianna walking out of it at a glance, followed by a young female assistant. Su Ran instinctively didn't want to be noticed by her, so he quickly got up from the bench and hid in the nearest shop.
"Welcome!" The receptionist's voice sounded in his ears. Su Ran looked up and was instantly dazzled by the dazzling array of women's underwear in various colors.
"Sir, are you here to help your wife choose underwear?" The receptionist greeted enthusiastically.
"Fuck..." Su Ran swallowed the words "Do I fucking look like a man with a wife?" and said to the receptionist with a smile: "Yes, recommend one, something sexy."
The receptionist then picked up a piece of underwear and showed it to him, and introduced it enthusiastically. Su Ran could only casually agree with the praise, but his eyes glanced outside from time to time. Not finding Xu Tianna, he breathed a sigh of relief and interrupted the receptionist who was still talking nonstop, saying, "This underwear is really good, but the price is a bit low. Didn't you learn during training that you should judge the purchasing power of customers based on what they wear?" As he spoke, he lifted the shoulder bag in his hand, showing the logo on it to the receptionist's sight, and said, "See, it's Rexton. Have you heard of Rexton? Today I will give you some popular science. Rexton is the latest luxury brand jointly created by Reebok, Nike, and Adidas. My bag is the global limited edition they just launched. Just three words, extravagant. Do you think I will buy underwear from a second-tier brand like yours with my wealth?"
The receptionist was a little amused. Su Ran put on his shoulder bag and prepared to leave, but was surprised to find Xu Tianna standing outside the aisle of the underwear store with her assistant, looking at him with a weird look.
Su Ran walked out with a stiff face, came to Xu Tianna, forced a smile and asked: "What a coincidence, I met you here."
"I work here. But why did you run into the women's lingerie store?" Xu Tianna asked with a look of pervert.
Su Ran sighed evasively: "So you work here, are you the building manager of the mall?"
Xu Tianna shook her head, still with a trace of contempt in her eyes, and asked: "You haven't answered my question yet, why did you run into the lingerie store?"
Su Ran replied impatiently: "Don't stare at me like a pervert, okay? I went into the lingerie store to avoid you, and I just saw you coming down the elevator."
"You will avoid me? Thank God you don't pester me." Xu Tianna said with a questioning face.
Su Ran sighed and said: "I just feel guilty."
This is indeed what he said from the bottom of his heart. If he finally chose not to tell her about Mi Zhongde's power plot against Xu Tianna, he would be filled with strong guilt and remorse.
Xu Tianna smiled and said, "You should have realized this earlier. Find a place to live and settle down temporarily. Isn't it good?"
Xu Tianna obviously misunderstood the true meaning of his "feeling guilty", but Su Ran couldn't explain it to her, so he changed the subject and said, "You haven't eaten yet? How about having a meal together? Since we met."
Xu Tianna looked at her watch and nodded in response, "It's time to eat. I heard that a new rice noodle shop opened on the first floor, and the taste is very good."
"Will you treat me?"
Xu Tianna replied with a smile, "Your backpack is all Rick Dass, do you need others to treat you to a bowl of rice noodles?"
Su Ran was speechless for a moment.
Although Xu Tianna said that she would not treat him, when she arrived at the rice noodle shop, she still queued up with the crowd to order food. At this moment, she was drowned in the crowd, like an ordinary girl, without the airs of a CEO. Su Ran felt an inexplicable pain and struggle in his heart. Maybe he shouldn't have invited her to dinner, even if it was just a bowl of rice noodles.
A moment later, Xu Tianna sat down opposite Su Ran with the receipt after ordering, and then looked at his backpack and asked with a smile: "When did a Rick Das brand emerge? It sounds like it's quite powerful."
Looking at her smiling face, Su Ran felt a wonderful feeling in his heart. After countless quarrels, they seemed to have regarded each other as acquaintances. They would tease each other, invite each other to dinner, and do some small things for each other within their ability. As long as it didn't involve the old house, they gradually got along like friends, as if inadvertently, a seed called friendship had been quietly planted in their hearts. I just don't know whether this seed can thrive in the future wind and rain, and where will it take them? Su Ran's heart is full of confusion and expectations about the future. He knows very well that his relationship with Xu Tianna is quietly changing, and he can only go with the flow in this wave of change and wait for further guidance from fate.
