Chương 63: Chapter 63: Determination after the choice

This was Su Ran's first night in the single apartment, but he made a very important decision in his life. He wrote two letters, one to be handed over to Xu Tianna the next day, and the other to be submitted to Chen Jingming as a resignation letter after the promotion plan was completed.

Su Ran knew that if he chose to tell Xu Tianna about Mi Zhongde's power conspiracy, it would mean breaking his promise to Fang Yuan and failing Chen Jingming's kindness. He felt ashamed to continue to stay in Baoli Department Store, and resignation seemed to be his only way out.

He picked up the pen, took a deep breath, and wrote two letters as quickly as possible without thinking. Then, he broke the pen and threw it into the trash can. The pen was innocent, but he urgently needed to vent his inner emotions. He ruined his own future with his own hands, and perhaps also affected Fang Yuan and Chen Jingming's career.

Recalling the sacrifices made by Le Yao for his career prospects, Su Ran felt a sharp pain in his heart again, almost suffocating. Although this decision adhered to his deepest belief, it really let down those friends who really cared about him.

He folded the two letters carefully and put them in his pocket. Although he did not regret his choice, he knew that the coming night would be sleepless. He wanted to drink, the more the better, and then fell drunk on the bed, sleeping soundly, temporarily avoiding this heavy reality.

Su Ran took a taxi to the restaurant. At this moment, he just wanted to drown his sorrows in wine. If he had time, he would also like to talk to others. He didn't have to talk about his difficult choice about human nature, just chatting casually.

It was late at night, and it was close to closing time. There were very few customers dining in the "Empty City" music restaurant. Lin Yue was sitting in the corner drinking beer alone, still living a free and unrestrained life, not like an ordinary woman, although she was born with a beautiful face.

Su Ran sat down opposite her. Lin Yue only noticed his arrival and snapped her fingers to signal the waiter. The waiter quickly brought Su Ran a large glass of draft beer.

Lin Yue looked at him, smiling, and said with a hint of teasing: "What's wrong, Su Ran? Have you been taught a lesson by life again?"

"That's about right. You know me well." Su Ran said, taking a gulp of draft beer.

"Why else would you come to see me so late?"

Su Ran remained silent, just drinking beer like water, until the alcohol stimulated his head to have a sharp pain, then he stopped.

Lin Yue looked at him quietly, occasionally taking a few sips of the glass. After Su Ran stopped, she asked, "Tell me, what makes you unhappy in life?"

Su Ran was silent for a long time, and then slowly said, "You said that we are all idealistic people. It is so beautiful to have ideals and live with beliefs, but why is there always so many obstacles in reality?"

Lin Yue thought for a while and responded, "In fact, I have also understood one thing over the years. There is nothing wrong with living in an idealistic way, but the premise is that there must be material support. Just like my music restaurant, it can now provide me with a livelihood, so that I don't have to worry too much about material things, so that I can continue to live such an idealistic life. If there was no 100,000 yuan donated by that unknown customer at the critical moment of life and death, so that the restaurant could survive, how can I talk about ideals?"

Su Ran fell into a long silence again, and after a long time, he said, "You are right, an idealistic life does need a material foundation."

Lin Yue was right. Take what happened to Su Ran this time as an example. If he was financially well-off and didn't need to worry about his career, and Fang Yuan and Chen Jingming were already in high positions in Baoli, he could tell Xu Tianna everything without any worries, with all his conscience and beliefs.

Even though he knew that an ideal life needed material support, Su Ran still didn't plan to change his decision. He would still reveal Mi Zhongde's power conspiracy to Xu Tianna. Perhaps deep in his heart, even if he lost his career that he had worked so hard to get, it was worth it.

Su Ran drank a large glass of draft beer and asked for another one. Lin Yue just smoked silently, and the two no longer communicated. This silence came from their idealistic perspective of seeing the real world too thoroughly. Having seen through it, they felt tired and didn't want to say more.

After two large glasses of draft beer, Su Ran gradually felt dizzy, and his tense nerves finally relaxed, and Lin Yue's face in front of him became blurred. He struck while the iron was hot and asked for another glass of high-strength liquor, which he drank in one gulp. This drunken drinking made the dizziness more intense, and finally he simply lay on the table. At this moment, the spiritual world may be quiet for a moment, but the real world tomorrow may be in chaos.

The next day, Su Ran woke up with a headache after a hangover. Outside the window, the autumn rain was drizzling and the sky was gloomy. He looked around the room and found that he was lying in Lin Yue's boudoir, remembering that he deliberately got drunk last night.

He opened the quilt, put on his shoes, and got up from the bed. Walking out of the bedroom, he saw Lin Yue sleeping on the sofa in the living room and had not woken up yet. He looked at the time, it was already 7:30, and he didn't disturb her, and gently closed the door and left.

After going downstairs, Su Ran stopped a taxi outside the community. The destination was not his company, but Zhuomei. Since he had made a decision last night, he would unswervingly put it into action.

Twenty minutes later, Su Ran came to the entrance of Zhuomei's underground parking lot and waited for Xu Tianna. According to his understanding of her, she should not have arrived at the company at this moment.

After waiting for about 20 minutes, Su Ran finally saw Xu Tianna's red Q7. While she was driving into the underground parking lot, Su Ran stopped a passing student boy.

He said to the boy with a puzzled face: "Little classmate, can you do me a favor?"

The boy looked at him warily: "What favor?"

Su Ran took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to him: "Please pass a letter to a girl for me."

The boy suddenly realized: "Is this a love letter? With information so developed now, why do we still need to write love letters? Isn't it enough to send a text message?"

"You are born in the 90s?"

"Yes."

"I was born in the 80s, do you know what the generation gap is? In our era, writing love letters was popular, and it was called style. Hurry up and give it to her, she will get on the elevator soon." Su Ran said anxiously.

"But I will be late for school."

"It's just a little while, and I won't delay your school."

The boy still looked embarrassed.

Su Ran immediately changed his strategy and asked, "Do you like looking at beautiful women?"

When the boy heard that there were beautiful women to look at, he became interested: "Is she a beautiful woman?"

"If she is not a beautiful woman, can I like her? Don't worry, she is definitely a beautiful woman. You go down the elevator and wait for her in the underground parking lot... Remember, the most beautiful woman in a purple-gray coat and long hair is her. Don't make a mistake."

"Okay, I'll see if she is as beautiful as you said." The boy said, and finally took the letter.

Su Ran reminded again: "Just give the letter to her, don't say anything else, especially don't describe my appearance in front of her, understand?"

The boy nodded in understanding: "I understand, you want to give her a surprise. I wish you a successful confession first."

Su Ran nodded approvingly: "Not bad, we don't have a generation gap yet."

The boy smiled "hehe" and then ran to the elevator entrance in the store. Su Ran lit a cigarette and quietly looked at his back as he walked away, as if a heavy burden had finally been unloaded in his heart. As for tomorrow, I will think about it tomorrow. He knew that once this letter was sent out, it would be like a stone thrown into a lake, which would inevitably trigger a series of unpredictable waves, and he was ready to face all the consequences. No matter whether the road ahead was stormy or full of thorns, it would not change his determination at this moment, just because he chose to follow the voice of his heart, even if he was against the world, he had to protect the glimmer of justice and kindness in his heart.
