Female tenant: 26-year-old heartbeat and life ups and downs

After dinner, Su Ran and Xu Tianna sent Ban Die to the outside of the community. The hotel where Ban Die stayed was just across the street, but he would leave early tomorrow morning.

When Ban Die was leaving, Su Ran asked: "Ban Die, when will you come to Suzhou next time?"

"Come when you have time, I will bring you some rice and flour next time." Ban Die replied.

Hearing Ban Die emphasize "you", Su Ran felt helpless again. He knew that when Ban Die came next time, he would have moved out of Xu Tianna's house, and he didn't know where he would drift in this city. In fact, he didn't want Ban Die to come to Suzhou, because he had accomplished nothing and was down and out. Every time he faced Ban Die, his heart was full of guilt.

Ban Die also reminded the silent Su Ran: "Remember to fix the leaking water pipe when you go back later."

"Remember." Su Ran replied.

Ban Die nodded, patted his shoulder, and turned away without saying anything.

Su Ran looked at the back of Ban Die as he walked away. He knew that Ban Die had a lot to say to him, but he just held back. Ban Die didn't want to put too much psychological burden on him.

Su Ran lit a cigarette, and an irrepressible sense of loss surged in his heart. Just yesterday, Fang Yuan and Yan Yan held their wedding, Lin Yue became Lu Chen's girlfriend, and his life was still a mess, so it was better not to mention it.

He thought to himself: It's time to go back and pack my luggage. Tomorrow night, I'll find a corner of this city where I can barely settle down but can't make a living.

Xu Tianna went upstairs first, and Su Ran finished a cigarette before slowly going back.

After entering the house, Su Ran found the toolbox, replaced the leaking water pipe that Ban Die mentioned, and carefully checked other places. After confirming that there were no hidden dangers, he returned to his room to pack his luggage.

Xu Tianna stood at his door at some point and asked, "Have you fixed the leaking water pipe just now?"

"Yes, I checked other places too. If the water pipes at home are broken or you need to change light bulbs, just call me and I'll help you fix it." Su Ran said as he put the guitar into the box.

"Oh, but there are still cockroaches in the house. Do you have a way to get rid of them?"

Su Ran smiled and joked with Xu Tianna: "You can get rid of a big, strong man like me, so can't you handle a few small cockroaches?"

Xu Tianna didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

"I'm kidding you. I'll buy some insecticide powder after get off work tomorrow and sprinkle it in the bathroom. It's almost winter, and cockroaches are generally not very active, so you don't have to worry."

"Oh." Xu Tianna responded and went back to her room.

Su Ran continued to pack his luggage. Halfway through, he sat on the bed to rest, looking around. He took a cigarette from the cigarette box, but didn't light it in the end. He thought, he had been a jerk for so long, he should be a man of his word when he left, even though it was just a trivial matter.

He put the cigarette back into the cigarette box, lay on the bed and habitually looked at the ceiling, emptying his mind, unwilling to recall what happened yesterday afternoon.

The next day, Su Ran went to work step by step. Today he had an appointment with GI's representative, which was the last contact before GI set up a counter in their shopping mall. If all went well, he would be able to get a short respite. Since Fang Yuan handed over the GI project to him, he has been in an overloaded state of work.

Su Ran and GI's representative stood in the square of the shopping mall to discuss the advertising space.

The GI representative asked: "The advertising space in the center of the Zhengnan Gate that you promised to give us must be implemented as soon as possible to cooperate with our opening promotion."

"Of course, there will be no problem. We have already reserved this advertising space for you GI. Your entry has also improved the operating level of our mall to a certain extent. The mall's high-quality resources will definitely be given priority to international first-line brands like you." Su Ran replied.

The GI representative nodded and said: "We GI are willing to enter your mall because we saw your sincerity in the plan. There are more high-end malls in Suzhou than just your Baoli Department Store."

"Yes." Su Ran responded, he didn't want to say too many flattering words.

After walking around the mall with the GI representative, she suddenly stopped and looked at the promotional posters placed in the middle of the aisle.

"Mr. Su, what's wrong?" Su Ran was a little confused. The group of promotional posters she was looking at was taken by Le Yao.

"What do you think of this graphic model?" she asked. "She has a strong sense of camera and good plasticity. Her temperament and appearance are more international, and she can artistically shape the advertising image of the product. By the way, she is also one-quarter Italian." Su Ran answered truthfully.

"That's quite a coincidence. Our GI is an Italian brand. Are you familiar with her?"

Su Ran was stunned for a moment before answering: "We are friends."

The GI representative nodded, and then carefully looked at Le Yao on the poster. After a moment, he said to Su Ran: "I think her image and temperament are very consistent with our product positioning. Please contact her to help us shoot a set of promotional posters for the opening."

Su Ran was a little embarrassed and said: "I'm afraid not. She is filming in Hengdian and should not have time in the next few months."

The GI representative frowned and said: "I don't want to hear words like 'I'm afraid' and 'should'. Your answer will make me question your mall's execution ability. We have already negotiated to this point. I don't want such a small matter to affect our cooperative relationship."

Such a straightforward threat made Su Ran feel very uncomfortable, but thinking that this project was related to Fang Yuan's career prospects, he held back and didn't get angry. Moreover, he didn't really want to contact Le Yao. Besides, shooting such a promotional poster might require going to other places to take pictures, which would not be completed in one or two days. As a newcomer to the crew, it was impossible for Le Yao to make the whole play fit into her schedule. She must have regarded filming as her top priority. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for her to ask her to come back?

"Ms. Zhao, I will try my best to contact her, but I can't guarantee whether she can make time." Su Ran responded, but in fact, he had no intention of contacting Le Yao at all.

The representative of GI waved his hand impatiently and said, "Forget it, I won't embarrass you about this matter. I will go to talk to your manager Chen." After that, he left Su Ran and walked to the office area alone.

As expected by Su Ran, not long after returning to the office, the manager's office called to notify him to come over.

Su Ran felt unhappy again. This was obviously using his superiors to pressure him. For a small employee like him, the other party was too lazy to talk to him.

Su Ran walked into the manager's office, and the manager Chen Jingming sat on the office chair with an unhappy face.

"I'm here, Manager Chen."

"Do you know why I'm looking for you?" Chen Jingming asked coldly.

"I don't know." Su Ran responded negatively.

Chen Jingming tapped his fingers on the table, and his voice rose a few points: "Su Ran, why are you so confused? GI is the eighth international first-line brand to enter our mall. Do you know what this means for our mall? This means that according to international rating standards, our mall has officially reached the level of top-level department stores B, which is of milestone significance!"

"Manager, I know even if you don't ask yourself." Su Ran muttered softly.

Chen Jingming suppressed his anger and said: "If an accident happens at this critical moment, not only you, but our entire planning department will suffer!"

"Don't make it difficult for me. If the schedule of the flat model can't be arranged, what can I do? Besides, both parties have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the project of setting up a counter in our mall this time. For a small matter like a promotional poster, it won't ruin the cooperation that has been discussed for so long." Su Ran said helplessly.

"Before the contract is officially signed, no one can be lucky. Other shopping malls are eyeing the GI brand, and it is not ruled out that GI will temporarily terminate the cooperation plan." Chen Jingming's expression became more serious.

Su Ran continued helplessly: "Even if the company fires me, I can't guarantee this matter."

Chen Jingming stared at Su Ran for a long time with a creepy look, and said: "There is something you may not know yet. The board of directors attaches great importance to GI's setting up a counter in our company. If the counter can be set up smoothly, there will be major personnel changes in our planning department. Fang Yuan, as the direct person in charge of the entire project, has the opportunity to sit in the position of deputy manager of the planning department, and you have a great chance to replace Fang Yuan as the leader of the copywriting planning group."

Su Ran was shocked when he heard the news. He didn't expect that there was such a big opportunity for personnel changes behind this project. On the one hand, he didn't want to force Le Yao because of this matter; on the other hand, he also knew that this opportunity was very important to both himself and Fang Yuan. He was in a dilemma and didn't know how to choose. He began to think about whether there were other solutions that could meet GI's requirements, not affect Le Yao's filming progress, and at the same time keep this cooperation project that is crucial to everyone and possible promotion opportunities. At this time, the relationship between him and Xu Tianna also became delicate because of the upcoming move. He didn't know where his future would go in terms of work and life. Everything was full of uncertainty.
