Chapter 335 He Yuzhu meets Liu Lan (1)
Yang Jianye felt a warm feeling in his heart after hearing what Qin Huairu said. He knew that Qin Huairu didn't care about other people's eyes and ridicule, and just wanted to be with him.
This made him feel touched and guilty. He recalled the story of Qin Huairu selling her body for a few buns, and he felt mixed emotions.
Qin Huairu seemed to see through Yang Jianye's thoughts. She gently held his hand and continued, "Jianye, do you know? It's you who made me regain hope in life.
You didn't care about my past, married me, let me live a good life, and changed me to such a good job. What does this little difficulty mean to us now? We have a job, a salary, savings, and we have enough food and warm clothes. What else is there to worry about? "
Yang Jianye listened to Qin Huairu's words, and the haze in his heart gradually dissipated. He looked at Qin Huairu deeply, his eyes full of gratitude and love.
He knew that he had to work harder to give Qin Huairu a better life. So he nodded and said, "Okay, let's have dinner together."
Qin Huairu smiled and nodded, as if all the burdens had been lifted off her shoulders. She knew that as long as Yang Jianye was by her side, she would have the courage to face everything. The two smiled at each other and began to enjoy this rare lunch time.
......
After finishing lunch, He Yuzhu put down his bowl and chopsticks, feeling a little guilty. Although Director Li clearly stated that it was Liu Lan who took the initiative to request the job change, He Yuzhu knew that he had indeed taken advantage of the job adjustment. He decided to go to Liu Lan to express his gratitude and apology.
He stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked towards Liu Lan's office with firm steps. In the corridor, he took a deep breath, trying to calm his complicated emotions.
Liu Lan was sitting in the office at the moment, and she was in a particularly happy mood. After getting promoted, she used the extra salary to buy a box of her favorite cookies as a small reward for herself.
She ate the cookies and played with her fingers, with a satisfied smile on her face.
Just when she was enjoying her meal, there was a knock on the door. Liu Lan was startled and quickly hid the biscuits in her hand into the drawer and quickly swallowed the biscuits in her mouth, fearing that others would see her and affect her image.
She quickly wiped the corners of her mouth, adjusted her sitting posture, tried to make herself look more serious, then cleared her throat and said, "Come in!"
He Yuzhu felt a little amused when he heard Liu Lan's voice. He pushed the door open and walked in. He saw Liu Lan sitting upright, but the blush on her face that had not completely faded and the biscuit wrapper in the drawer made him twitch his lips slightly.
He walked up to Liu Lan and said with a smile, "Sister Lan, congratulations on your promotion!" Liu Lan looked up and saw that it was He Yuzhu, and a surprised smile appeared on her face.
"Thank you, Deputy Director He." Liu Lan looked at He Yuzhu sincerely, her eyes full of gratitude and joy. "Actually, I didn't expect this promotion. But now that the opportunity is in front of me, I will definitely work hard and live up to this trust."
After Liu Lan finished speaking, she pursed her lips slightly, as if she was savoring the joy of her promotion. She looked up at He Yuzhu and found that he was silent and seemed to be worried.
So Liu Lan asked directly: "Deputy Director He, why are you here today? Is there something going on?"
He Yuzhu walked to the opposite side of Liu Lan, gently pulled out a chair and sat down. His eyes stayed on Liu Lan's face for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Sister Lan, I didn't disturb you, did I?"
Liu Lan waved her hands quickly, with an awkward smile on her face: "No, no, I... I just finished my work and happened to have some time. Hahaha, you came at the right time."
As she spoke, she deliberately cleared her throat, trying to cover up her previous slip of the tongue.
He Yuzhu noticed Liu Lan's little action, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he couldn't help feeling a little amused.
He knew that Liu Lan was trying to cover up her embarrassment, so he didn't point it out. Instead, he looked at her with a gentler gaze, smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.
In order to ease Liu Lan's discomfort, He Yuzhu decided to change the subject. He cleared his throat, a serious expression on his face, and began to talk about the main purpose of the day:
"Sister Lan, I went to see Director Li today to discuss some things, which also involved you. I came here just to tell you so that you don't worry."
When Liu Lan heard He Yuzhu suddenly mention Director Li, and that this matter was related to her, a hint of subtle nervousness flashed across her face. Her brows wrinkled unconsciously, and her eyes flashed with some doubt and uneasiness.
He swallowed eagerly, trying to make his voice sound steady: "Really? What did Director Li say about me? Was there anything I was negligent about or not doing well enough at work?"
Although Liu Lan knew that He Yuzhu had a close relationship with Director Li, she still tried to keep a certain distance and was unwilling to mention too much about her personal relationship with Director Li in front of He Yuzhu.
However, the nervousness and confusion at the moment made her a little confused, and her voice unconsciously revealed a hint of anxiety.
Seeing this, He Yuzhu immediately realized Liu Lan's nervousness. He smiled and waved his hand, trying to comfort her: "Sister Lan, don't be nervous, it's not about your work."
His words were gentle and comforting, which made Liu Lan's tense nerves relax a little. She gently rubbed her temples, trying to dispel the sudden tension.
She raised her head and looked at He Yuzhu, her eyes full of curiosity and inquiry: "Oh? What is the matter?" There was a hint of urgency in her voice, as if she was eager to know the answer.
He Yuzhu took a deep breath, as if he was organizing his thoughts. He paused for a moment before slowly speaking, "It's like this. My younger brother will come to work in our steel mill in the near future. Director Li has already arranged a position for him. He is the deputy director of the canteen."
When saying the words "deputy director of the canteen", He Yuzhu deliberately emphasized the tone and observed Liu Lan's reaction intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing Liu Lan's expression slightly changed and she seemed a little uneasy, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop Liu Lan from asking questions, signaling her not to get excited and to listen patiently to what he was going to say next.
"Sister Lan, don't worry." He Yuzhu smiled and tried to calm Liu Lan's emotions with his expression and tone.
"Director Li has not forgotten what you told him before. Considering your ability and experience, he decided to transfer you to the purchasing department as deputy director. Therefore, the position of deputy director of the cafeteria was given to my second brother."
Liu Lan finally let go of her worries when she heard this. She let out a long breath, as if all the burdens had been lifted off her shoulders. A relieved smile appeared on her face, and her eyes became bright again.
