Chapter Eleven. A New Beginning
In three days, Qu Ruoning would officially start working. She took advantage of this gap to tidy up and decorate the finely decorated apartment in the city center, planning to move out of Xiao Qianrong's house. After all, it was closer to where she worked.
This well-decorated house was originally bought by Ren Shaochen because of its good layout and location. He originally wanted to live in it for the second elder of Ren's family. However, Ren's father has been a farmer all his life and cannot let go of his work in the fields. He is unwilling to live in the city no matter what.
, so it has always been idle.
On Saturday, Qu Ruoning and Xiao Qianrong spent the whole morning shopping in the mall, buying a lot of daily necessities, then drove back, carefully decorated the house, and spent the entire afternoon tidying up, preparing to officially move in.
In the evening, Qu Ruoning stayed with Xiao Qianrong to have dinner at home, which was considered a celebration of moving into a new house.
After sending Xiao Qianrong away, Qu Ruoning returned to the house. The 100-square-meter house looked very empty.
Although she proposed the divorce, she still doesn't have any real feelings about it. Maybe it's because the time is too short and she hasn't really recovered enough to realize that she is already a divorced woman.
.
Qu Ruoning smiled bitterly, went into the kitchen to clear the dishes, and looked down to see that she still had the platinum ring on her finger.
No wonder she didn't feel divorced. It turned out that she forgot to take off the ring.
Qu Ruoning sighed and reached out to pull out the ring. Since it had never been taken off before, the ring was as hard to pull out as if it had roots. She could only squeeze a little dish soap, lubricate it first, and then use force to pull it out.
Because her hands were too slippery, the ring fell into the sink as soon as she took it off. Qu Ruoning reached out to get it in a panic, but the ring had rolled into the water outlet and got stuck in the middle.
She hurriedly took the chopsticks, pinched them with squinted eyes for a long time, and finally moved a little bit. She was still so excited that her hands trembled, and the ring fell completely.
Qu Ruoning's heart dropped rapidly as the ring rolled down. She looked at the empty water outlet, her eyes were red and wet, and she raised her head to hold back her tears.
She has decided to completely stop thinking about Ren Shaochen, so why should she care about that ring.
I kept convincing myself with these words, and then I felt a little better and started washing the dishes again.
Monday arrived in a blink of an eye. Qu Ruoning got up early, washed and put on makeup, and checked inside and outside several times before going out safely.
She has been out of work for two years. In this society with advanced information consultation, two years is enough time to be out of touch with the times, so she is particularly nervous.
Speaking of which, she was lucky. Although she was only applying for a design assistant job, the company was well-known in the industry. It had expanded rapidly in two or three years and had great development prospects.
Qu Ruoning went into the HR department to report, and someone took her around the company to familiarize herself with the environment, and introduced the various departments and senior leaders of the company.
"Your job is to cooperate with the tasks assigned by Gu Chendong, the designer." The girl from the HR department brought Qu Ruoning to her desk, paused, looked at her with a strange look, and then whispered
:"take care."
After saying that, he turned around and floated away, leaving behind a confused Qu Ruoning.
Qu Ruoning put down her bag and noticed that several colleagues around her were looking at her strangely.
On the first day of work, naturally she couldn't catch fish, so Qu Ruoning sat down and didn't think much about it.
However, her immediate boss, Designer Gu, never seemed to come, and she was confused and had nothing to do all day long.
Unexpectedly, when she was about to get off work, the phone in front of her desk rang, and as soon as she picked it up, an anxious male voice came.
"You are the new assistant they have hired for me, right? Go to my desk immediately and deliver the folder of paint samples to Rainbow Community on Jianghong Road." The man spoke quickly and urgently, and hung up the phone after speaking.
Already.
Before Qu Ruoning could ask more questions, she heard a beeping sound.
She got up and entered Designer Gu's office and saw that the table was piled with things. Who knew what he wanted based on the few words he gave her.
Qu Ruoning suddenly understood why her colleagues were giving her strange looks. Those strange looks were clearly sympathy.
No matter how much she thinks about it, if she wants this job, she must complete her tasks.
Qu Ruoning rummaged around on the table for a while and found several paint sample folders. She looked at them for a while, picked up one of them, and walked out of the office.
I hurriedly arrived at the garage and drove straight to Rainbow Community, accelerating and flashing red lights.
When she arrived at the door and was stopped by a guard, Qu Ruoning stopped the car and walked quickly into the community. When she walked inside, she remembered that designer Gu had not told her the number of buildings, floors and rooms.
Qu Ruoning was confused for a moment, and when she gradually stopped, a man wearing a white shirt and casual suit pants walked towards her quickly. When he saw her, his expression seemed to be surprised.
When he looked at the folder in her hand, his expression returned to normal instantly. He took it from her hand and flipped through a few pages, his eyebrows gradually raised.
"Designer Gu, is this wrong?" Qu Ruoning saw that Gu Chendong's expression was not good, so she thought she had taken the wrong one, so she asked cautiously.
Gu Chendong said nothing, turned around and walked towards the building, Qu Ruoning followed closely.
The two entered a unit of more than 200 square meters. The floor was messily covered with newspapers, and more than half of the paint on the walls had been painted.
Gu Chendong squatted down and looked at the color numbers on the paint bucket, then checked the color numbers on the sample, and his face became even more ugly.
Qu Ruoning seemed to understand a little bit. There might be a mistake between the color painted now and the original color.
Gu Chendong stood up and just said to Qu Ruoning: "Go to Jiahe Market." and walked out quickly.
Qu Ruoning hurriedly followed his footsteps again. She felt that the words "violent and resolute" were very accurately reflected in this man, but why did she think he looked familiar to her?
Jiahe Market is the largest building materials market in S City. It is far away from Rainbow Community. It takes an hour and a half to go back and forth.
When we came back, it was almost dark.
Qu Ruoning watched Gu Chendong roll up his sleeves and squat to open the paint, wondering what he was doing.
"Go get the brush." Gu Chendong ordered Qu Ruoning.
Qu Ruoning handed him the paint as instructed. Seeing him tinkering with the paint, she realized that he was planning to cover up the wrong color with white and then apply a new color.
"You brush over there, I'll brush over here." Gu Chendong pointed to the left and asked Qu Ruoning to go over.
Qu Ruoning wore a narrow skirt today, which was very inconvenient, but she still did as he asked.
This was supposed to be the work of the decoration workers, but they were all off work at this time, so they had to do it, otherwise they might not be able to make it in time for the house delivery.
To make the white color cover the other colors, it was necessary to brush it back and forth many times, plus the time to wait for it to dry and the time to re-paint it, the two of them worked until twelve o'clock to fix it.
Qu Ruoning looked completely embarrassed, with paint all over her face and clothes. She turned to look at Gu Chendong. He was not much better than her. The paint stains on his white shirt were particularly obvious.
Hearing Gu Chendong let out a long breath, his expression finally softened, as if he was a different person, he smiled lightly at Qu Ruoning and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Looking at that smile, Qu Ruoning felt that he looked familiar, so she just said: "This is my duty."
The only thing that matters is what you do within your job, and you have to work hard until twelve o'clock on the first day of work. Of course, Qu Ruoning could only complain silently in her heart.
"Gu Chendong." He extended his hand to introduce himself, and then said: "I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
"Again?" Qu Ruoning frowned.
"Night Bar." Gu Chendong reminded him.
Qu Ruoning suddenly came to her senses. She saw Gu Chendong that day under the dim and flickering lights of the bar. Naturally, she couldn't see very clearly. Besides, she was still drunk later and ended up in such an embarrassing posture. Thinking about it, she felt embarrassed.
