After a while, the boy returned happily and said to Su Ran excitedly: "You didn't lie to me, she is really a super beauty!"
Su Ran smiled and said: "Then tell me what she looks like, I want to see if you have recognized the wrong person."
"Just as you said, long hair hanging down her shoulders, wearing purple-gray clothes, and very beautiful, but she doesn't like to talk to people, but I still managed to give her the letter."
Su Ran nodded and asked half-jokingly: "Then do you think I can catch up with her?"
The boy looked at him seriously and said bluntly: "I think it's uncertain."
"Really. Go to school quickly and don't be late." Su Ran smiled and patted the boy's shoulder.
The boy left a sentence "Good luck" and hurriedly ran to the platform in the distance.
The autumn rain continued. Su Ran straightened the shoulder bag that was about to slip off his shoulder, looked up and stared at the huge billboard of Zhuomei Shopping Center, and silently prayed in his heart that Xu Tianna could survive this crisis safely. He knew that this was all he could do for her.
Su Ran returned to Baoli Department Store, feeling surprisingly calm. He worked calmly, attended the exchange meeting organized by Fangyuan calmly, and communicated and collaborated calmly with his colleagues. This calmness came from the fact that he had already seen his own ending clearly and was fully prepared for all possible consequences. When this promotion plan is over, he will quit his job at Baoli. As for the future, he may continue to stay in Suzhou to find new opportunities, or he may return to his hometown and let his father find a job for him in his unit, and live a stable life from then on.
In the focused work, time flies, and it is time to get off work in a blink of an eye. Su Ran went to the lounge to make a cup of coffee, took a short break, and then threw himself into work again. Today, Fangyuan has reported to Chen Jingming the promotion theme of "Love is not expensive" proposed by Su Ran yesterday. Chen Jingming quickly approved it and immediately started the relevant process. Since the theme was proposed by Su Ran, he naturally became the main writer of this promotion plan. In order to repay Chen Jingming's careful care over the years, Su Ran is determined to do his best to make this plan perfect.
After a long day of work, it was already ten o'clock in the evening when Su Ran left the company. He was hungry, so he bought some hamburgers and other food at the KFC downstairs of the company, and ate while walking on the street, trying to relieve his physical and mental fatigue in this almost walking way.
However, he did not really feel relaxed because of this. The hustle and bustle of the streets and the bustling crowds made him more lonely and helpless in this city.
Su Ran also longed to have a home of his own in this city and a girlfriend who could accompany him for life. But after years of struggle, he realized that he was so powerless to these tiny aspirations. He deeply realized that he was so small in this huge city, so small that a breeze could easily shake it, leaving a heart full of reluctance and loss, drifting in the corners of this city with the wind.
Returning to the single apartment he rented yesterday, Su Ran couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of life. He thought he would live here for a long time, but since he gave the letter to Xu Tianna this morning, he knew that he would not stay here for long. Although he subconsciously still wants to survive in this city, how easy is it to find a new job? Everything can only be left to fate. If he can find a new job quickly, he will continue to fight; if he can't find a new job after a long time, he may have no choice but to leave.
After washing up, Su Ran lay on the bed, his thoughts were disordered, and he didn't dare to plan his future life. The high morale of the past few days has now turned into a depression of muddling through.
Listening to the sound of rain outside the window, Su Ran's thoughts drifted to Lin Yue involuntarily, thinking of the future he had envisioned with her. But now, those memories seem so pale and powerless, and he is the only one who bears this pain and loss. At least, without him, Lin Yue can still live well. She doesn't need to worry about material life, and can even use material to fill the emotional gap. Now she has Lu Chen by her side, and her emotions have also been placed. This may be the best ending. Su Ran can only send her the blessings in his heart silently, and bear this bitterness and helplessness alone.
Su Ran took out the guitar from the box, plucked the strings gently, and sang Eason Chan's "Your Backpack". As the song flowed, his eyes gradually moistened and tears burst out. In the past, having no house, no job, and no girlfriend was just a trivial matter to him, but now, he was sad about these seemingly insignificant things. He couldn't help but feel that his tears were so cheap and so inexplicable.
The rain outside the window seemed to be getting heavier. After this rain, the weather would probably get colder. Winter is coming, covering the whole world with ice and snow, as if it would also gradually freeze the last bit of hope and warmth in his heart.
Time passed quietly, and three days passed in a blink of an eye. During these three days, big and small things happened one after another. The small thing was that Su Ran received two knitted scarves, rice and flour sent by his father; the big thing was that he efficiently completed the promotion plan with the theme of "Love is not expensive" while working overtime day and night. He handed the plan to Fang Yuan, who then presented it to Chen Jingming. As the proposal was submitted, the day when Su Ran submitted his resignation letter to Chen Jingming was approaching. He was about to bid farewell to Baoli Department Store and start a new unknown journey in life.
This evening after get off work, Su Ran wanted to call Xu Tianna and planned to give her the knitted scarf. He thought Xu Tianna would like it, because he gave her one of the two knitted sweaters sent by his father last time, and she wore it several times, so this scarf must be to her liking.
No matter what the relationship between them is, this knitted scarf carries the thoughts of his mother and father after all, and it is reasonable to give it to her.
With sufficient reasons, Su Ran immediately called Xu Tianna, but no one answered for a long time. Just when he was about to give up, Xu Tianna called back.
Su Ran quickly answered the call, and Xu Tianna said apologetically: "Sorry, I was in a meeting just now. What can I do for you?"
Su Ran did not rush to answer, but asked tentatively: "Why, is your company busy recently?"
"Well, the company has had some problems recently, and we are discussing how to deal with it."
"Oh." Su Ran responded, knowing that Xu Tianna had indeed received her letter, and might be dealing with Mi Zhongde's power conspiracy against her at this moment.
Xu Tianna urged again: "Tell me, why did you call me?"
Su Ran paused slightly and said: "My mother knitted a scarf for you, and my father sent it to you. Come and get it when you are free, or I will send it to you." After thinking for a while, he added: "It doesn't matter if you don't want it."
Xu Tianna did not refuse, and said: "Then wait a while, I still have some things to deal with. Come to our Zhuomei and find a place to have a drink first, and I will find you after I finish my work."
Su Ran said "meticulously": "Then you have to treat me to a drink, but I am going to send you something."
"Okay." Xu Tianna responded and hung up the phone, as if she was very busy at the moment.
After the call, Su Ran carefully packed the scarf in a bag, then left the company and walked towards the Zhuomei Shopping Center opposite. Along the way, he felt mixed emotions, worried about Xu Tianna's situation when facing the conspiracy, and confused about his future when he was about to leave Baoli Department Store. He didn't know what this meeting with Xu Tianna would be like, nor did he know where his life would go under the impetus of this series of events. But he knew that the gears of fate had quietly turned, and he could only take each step firmly to meet unknown challenges and possible turning points, no matter whether the road ahead was full of thorns or bright futures.
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
