"I have finished everything Mr. Ji asked me to do, and now I will send you back." Zuo Si said expressionlessly.
Bai Xi shook his head.
She took the dark blue rhinestone out of her bag and handed it to Zuo Si with both hands, "Please return this diamond ring to Ji Chenling. I think it should be returned to its original owner."
"In fact, your chance of meeting him should be higher than mine. It's better for you to go there in person." Zuo Si said, nodded, turned and left without taking the diamond ring in Bai Xi's hand.
Does she still have a chance to see Ji Chenling?
Perhaps, not seeing each other is the best...
Days passed day by day, one week, two weeks, more than two months passed...
Ji Chenling never appeared again or called her. He seemed to have disappeared from her world.
She didn't call him again, didn't go to work at his company, but joined the food delivery team.
She earns about 5 yuan from a takeaway meal. When she goes out to deliver food during the peak hours at noon and evening, she can earn about 6,000 yuan a month, which is enough for her and Tiantian to live on.
It's just...she's very sorry for Xu Yan.
Xu Yan's mother needed to spend money for her illness and the mortgage loan. Because she lost her job and could not go to work immediately, she temporarily found a hotel in City A and continued her old business.
However, as a newcomer, my salary is twice as low as before, and I still need to adapt to a new job and new colleagues.
In addition, Xu Yan's personality is quite fiery, direct and frank, which makes her easily attract evil, and she is even more likely to be excluded and framed.
Xu Yan came back that day and was in a bad mood. She opened the refrigerator and took out a can of beer. She opened it domineeringly and said, "Xiao Xi, don't go out to deliver food tonight. Come drink with me."
"Are you unsatisfied at work?" Bai Xi asked with concern.
"Don't mention it. I finally managed to get an order for a symposium. It took me a lot of energy, time, and connections. I saw that I had gone out to fifty rooms for two days. How could I still get a commission of 10,000 yuan?
When the symposium was over, I said that this order belonged to Jiang Xiaoyu because she had already reported it. If she didn’t report it earlier, she would be so angry to see me busy and trying to take advantage of her." Xu Yanhuo said,
Throw the refrigerator on.
The refrigerator door popped out, and she pressed it again.
Bai Xi knew that she was under a lot of pressure, and her family was all supported by her, "I have 40,000 yuan here, you can use it first."
"No, I can still bear it for the time being. You still pay the rent here. You also have a child and you have to pay tuition every day, which is very stressful." Xu Yan kicked away the chair and sat down.
"I'm sorry." Bai Xi apologized.
Xu Yan knew what Bai Xi was talking about, "It doesn't matter. You were also deceived. You will be more cautious in the future. By the way, why don't you go to work for Manager Lu? He should think highly of you."
"His place..." Bai Xi shook his head, "I feel it's dark and terrifying, and subconsciously reject it."
"Yeah, I had the same feeling when I went to see him before. Now I go to school every day. Why don't you come to the hotel too? With you here, I feel more at ease."
Bai Xi hesitated, "I signed a contract with Ji Chenling before. If I violate it, I will pay him 10 million yuan. Moreover, I still owe him a lot of money."
"Then why don't you go to work with him?"
Bai Xi lowered her eyes and didn't go. She didn't want to face things related to Ji Chenling for the time being, which would make her heart suffer.
And, with him getting engaged, she had the feeling that their agreement didn't count.
How could she have the nerve to ask for the job he gave her so shamelessly?
"He didn't ask me to go." Bai Xi said softly.
Xu Yan became even more angry in an instant. She slapped the table and stood up, "We can't waste time like this. You call him and ask for a clear answer. I'll reply. I hate this kind of unclear handling. I want to die.
Work more simply, be simple and direct, you too, think about Tiantian, think about you and Tiantian's future life, face and other things, when it's time to lose it, you must be the first to give it up." Xu Yan advised.
Bai Xi thought for a moment and realized that there really should be an end to this.
She made the call.
One sound, two sounds...
Every time it rang, her heart tightened.
Maybe it's okay if he doesn't answer.
"Hello." When the ringtone was about to hang up, Ji Chenling answered the call.
Just one word, his deep and rich voice came from the other end of the phone, just like in the memory, without any warmth or emotion.
Her heart was stung again, and she took a deep breath, "Well, that's it. Look, do I still need to go to your company to work? If I don't, can I terminate the contract?
"
"You didn't go to work? Wait, let me ask."
He hung up the phone crisply.
From what he said, he didn't know she didn't go to work.
That's right, she is a nobody, Ji Chenling doesn't remember her going or staying, that's normal.
"What did Ji Chenling say?" Xu Yan asked.
"He said he would go and ask." Bai Xi lowered his head.
"Don't you still like him? He disappeared for so long." Xu Yan said angrily. Only she knew how Bai Xi came here in the past two months.
I couldn't sleep every day and woke up in the middle of the night. I was distressed and there was no cure. I could only endure it until dawn.
Bai Xi, who was already thin, has lost more than ten kilograms in the past two months.
She said she was delivering food and was deliberately trying to lose weight.
But one day she met Bai Xi on the road and saw Bai Xi sitting on a chair by the roadside, crying quietly.
She said she was very good and behaved very well when facing people around her.
However, she kept all the suffering in her heart and bore it alone.
"I'll be back early tonight." Bai Xi replied.
Xu Yan wanted to say something else, but her phone rang.
Bai Xi saw that it was Zhang Ruijie's call and answered the call.
"I'm sorry, Bai Xi, I've been so busy lately, and I'm still thinking about, when will you come to the company to work?" Zhang Ruijie said with a smile.
"Do you mean... you want me to go to work?" Bai Xi asked.
"Of course, the labor contract has been signed, right?"
"What about Xu Yan?" Bai Xi glanced at Xu Yan.
Xu Yan also looked at Bai Xi, waiting for a reply.
"Oh, she, Chen Ling told me that she is your assistant. You two should come to work together tomorrow. Do you know the company address?"
She remembered that the contract said, "I know."
"See you tomorrow, Vice President Bai." Zhang Ruijie hung up the phone.
"How to say? How to say?" Xu Yan asked anxiously.
"You go to work with me tomorrow."
"Great." Xu Yan stood up excitedly and picked up her phone triumphantly, "I will resign immediately. What a bullshit company. I will quit."
Bai Xi watched Xu Yan call out.
Why does she feel that it's not that good?
There is a wound in my heart. Before it becomes scarred, it will hurt if I touch it.
She would rather Ji Chenling terminate the labor contract with her, so that she can find a quiet place and quietly lick her wounds until the day they heal.
