Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Workplace Stress and Debt Troubles
In front of Fang Yuan and his own promotion opportunity, Su Ran carefully weighed it in his heart. It would be fine for him, but if he could help Fang Yuan get promoted to deputy manager of the planning department, Fang Yuan's treatment and position in the company would have a qualitative leap, and his future would be bright.
"Su Ran, if you can't handle this matter, I will let Fang Yuan come back to take care of it, and he won't take his wedding leave." Chen Jingming looked at Su Ran with a coercive look and said.
"Don't, manager. I can't handle it, and he can't handle it either, and he is not familiar with the print model." Su Ran responded hurriedly.
Chen Jingming's tone slowed down slightly, and he said to Su Ran: "In fact, the contract for entering the store is about to be signed. According to my guess, GI is just using the issue of the print model to test our company's sincerity in cooperation. Even if this incident did not happen, it is estimated that other emergencies will be created. Whether GI will set up a counter in our department store in the end is not only related to the interests of the company, but also to the interests of our planning department, including yourself. So no matter what method you think of, you must help the company get through this last hurdle." Su Ran thought about it for a long time in his heart, and finally nodded and said: "I will try my best." "Try your best, it's not enough, you must do it, you must promise me this." Chen Jingming adjusted his glasses, and there was no room for negotiation in his tone. Su Ran thought to himself that this matter had to be done regardless of success or failure, and now he could only hope that Le Yao could make time. After weighing the pros and cons again and again, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely get this done."
Chen Jingming then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's great!"
Su Ran secretly complained in his heart: "You are fine, but I have to shamelessly ask a woman I least want to ask, you know?"
When Su Ran was about to leave the office, Chen Jingming called him again: "Su Ran, don't call the print model first, isn't she filming in Hengdian? Go directly to Hengdian tomorrow, you have traveled a long way to tell her about this matter in person, it will be difficult for her to refuse."
"The manager is thoughtful and wise." Su Ran said with a smile, but in his heart he felt that Chen Jingming was like a cunning old fox. He was so desperate, did he ever think about how others would feel if they couldn't arrange their schedules and it was difficult to refuse?
After get off work, Su Ran sat on the bus on his way home, feeling very upset. This irritability was due to the fact that he had to go to Hengdian to see Le Yao tomorrow, and secondly, he had to move out of the house he had lived in for two years tonight. Gradually, the irritability turned into deep frustration. He felt as if he could never control his life. Other people's words could mess up his love, work and life, such as Lin Yue, the female representative of GI, and Xu Tianna.
Returning to the familiar and old house, Su Ran subconsciously looked at Xu Tianna's room. The door was closed. She might not have gone home yet.
He thought that whether she went home or not had nothing to do with him. Now all he had to do was to keep his promise and move out forever.
Su Ran returned to his room and continued to pack his luggage. In fact, he had almost packed it yesterday. He just needed to pack the bedding.
After packing his things, Su Ran turned on the computer and looked for a house that could be moved in on the local website. He found a few suitable ones, but all of them required half a year's rent and a three-month rent deposit. With this calculation, he had to prepare at least 10,000 yuan in rent, and Su Ran was immediately in trouble. He only has a few thousand yuan left. Last month's salary will not be paid until the day after tomorrow. Even if it is paid, it can't be used to pay the rent. Some money must be left for living expenses.
In desperation, Su Ran had to lower his requirements and start looking for a house with a relatively cheap rent. Time passed quietly in this busy search. When he came to his senses, the night had fallen and the city was brightly lit.
Su Ran wiped his face tiredly, trying to relieve the fatigue of facing the computer for a long time. After a rest, he had to continue looking for a place to live. He couldn't really live on the streets. He was already poor enough.
He looked out the window blankly, feeling that his soul was getting more and more lonely in the lights of thousands of houses. At this moment, he was extremely eager to have a house of his own in this city where he had lived for more than two years, and a woman who looked forward to his return home every day, so that he could say goodbye to homelessness, loneliness at night, and the sadness of living.
After a while, there was a sound of opening the door outside the house, and Su Ran knew that Xu Tianna was back. But at this moment, he felt that he could face her calmly. After all, he finally kept his promise and would move out soon.
Xu Tianna stood at the door of Su Ran's room with her handbag and slippers. She looked at the packed luggage and asked, "Have you found a house?"
"Don't worry. Whether I can find one or not, I will move out tonight." Su Ran replied, subconsciously thinking that Xu Tianna would be satisfied with this answer.
"Oh." Xu Tianna responded, but did not leave.
After a while, she seemed to remember something and asked, "You said you would buy some insecticide powder to sprinkle in the bathroom today. Have you bought it?"
Compared with moving and being forced by the boss to go to Hengdian to find Le Yao, buying insecticide powder is really not worth mentioning. Su Ran had long forgotten about it.
He said to Xu Tianna apologetically: "Sorry, I forgot. Go buy some yourself. If you don't want to go out, you can buy them online. It's very convenient."
Xu Tianna's face became unhappy: "This is what you promised me. How can you be so irresponsible?"
Su Ran was very angry today. He didn't even have a place to live. He was in a terrible mood and his tone became heavier: "Can responsibility be eaten? You mention it every day. Aren't you annoying?"
Xu Tianna didn't expect Su Ran to react so strongly. She was stunned for a moment, then said with a gloomy face: "Well, pay me back the money you owe me, and I don't have to be responsible for you."
Su Ran was speechless for a moment, and once again fell into the dilemma of having no money. He said helplessly: "You said that as long as I move out, I don't have to rush to pay back the money I borrowed from you."
"Who cares about you? It's natural to pay back debts." Xu Tianna still had a cold face.
"After all, we have lived under the same roof for several days. Is it necessary to drive me to a dead end like this?" Su Ran lowered his head, feeling mixed emotions.
Xu Tianna smiled disdainfully and said, "I didn't push you to a dead end. You've been working for many years, right? Why don't you have any savings? You should understand that it's you who pushed you to a dead end."
Xu Tianna's words were like a sharp blade, ruthlessly exposing the most painful scar in Su Ran's heart. Inferiority and shame instantly surged into his heart, making him feel ashamed.
In a panic, Su Ran saw the guitar standing in the corner. This guitar was specially made by Lin Yue at the piano shop on his birthday. It was made of fine materials and was worth far more than 10,000 yuan.
Looking at this guitar, Su Ran once again felt the grief of things not being the same as they were.
He stood up and took the guitar to Xu Tianna, handed it to her and said, "This guitar is for you to pay off your debts. If you sell it to someone who knows the business, it will definitely be more than 10,000 yuan."
Before Xu Tianna expressed whether she would accept the guitar as a debt payment, Su Ran carried his luggage, and didn't even dare to look at the house again. He lowered his head and hurried out of the house. He didn't know where to go or what the future would be like. He just set out on an unknown journey in the dark night, exhausted and confused. Whether the conflict between him and Xu Tianna would intensify further, and what he would encounter when he went to Hengdian to find Le Yao, everything was still unknown, just like his uncertain life at the moment.
