The next day, du Anran really didn't go to the XIN building. She hurriedly changed her cell phone card and number. Since she couldn't go abroad, she started to live a normal life.
When Jin Shaonan found her, she was watering a pot of flowers. She was a little absent-minded. She looked at the blue flowers and forgot about the kettle in her hand.
She had always liked blue, and her bedroom was decorated with all kinds of blue decorations.
"Are you in a daze? " Jin Shaonan stood behind her and said with a smile.
"Ah? " Du Anran smiled embarrassedly and put down the kettle. "Why are you here? "
"Can't I come to see you? " Jin Shaonan said with a smile. The summer sun shone on his face, full of faint tenderness.
"Of course. " They had not seen Jin Shaonan for two years. Although he appeared at a bad time, they were best friends after all.
"Anyway, I want to ask you for a favor, " Jin Shaonan said.
"Me? " Du Anran was a little surprised. "How can I help you... "
"Our city evening news is looking for a chief editor recently, and I've been given this task. Are you willing to help me finish it? " Jin Shaonan said with a smile.
"But since I came back to China, I've rarely been involved in the news industry, so I don't know any talents in this field. I'm afraid I can't help you, " Du Anran smiled apologetically.
"Wasn't the talented woman who wrote the best articles in the entire journalism department in the university right in front of your eyes? " Jin Shaonan looked at du Anran with a smile.
"Are you laughing at me? I haven't seen you for two years, Jin Shaonan, and you've become so deceitful, " du Anran said with a smile. "No one can compete with you in terms of writing articles. "
"Anran, are you willing to help me? Isn't this also your dream back then? " Jin Shaonan's face became more serious.
Dream... ... At the mention of these two words, du Anran's heart trembled. Yes, wasn't her dream back then to be a conscientious media person, to uphold justice for society, and to seek welfare for the people ? Now that she thought about it, it was really distant and childish ...
However, in those years, she still had a dream. At least, she didn't have to live for others. However, ever since she returned to her country and took over the world peace, there was no longer the word "dream" in her world.
"I... Can I still write articles? Can I still have the same state of mind as before? " Du anran doubted herself very much. After experiencing such a huge failure, she didn't believe in herself anymore ...
"Of course you can. As long as you're willing to come, I can help you get back your previous dream. Start anew, Anran, " Jin Shaonan encouraged her.
These days, he learned about Du Anran's situation over the past two years. He felt a strange heartache. In the past two years, she had sacrificed almost everything to maintain this family business. However, in the end, Shihe still went bankrupt. This must have dealt a heavy blow to her.
Du Anran still shook her head. "No, I don't have any experience. I've forgotten all the professional skills and knowledge I learned in the past. "
"How would you know if you don't try? Just think of it as realizing a dream in the past. You won't regret it if you try. After all, this was your biggest dream in the past. " Jin Shaonan kept encouraging her.
"Shaonan, we haven't seen each other for two years. You're becoming more and more persuasive, " Du Anran said with a smile.
"Then, have you been persuaded by me? Only when I persuade you can it be shown that I succeeded, " Jin Shaonan said with a smile.
"I'm afraid I'm not qualified to be the chief editor. How about I start as a young editor after I go in, so that you won't be gossiped about by others? " Du Anran was indeed tempted. She could ignore other things, but dreams were something that only belonged to herself.
Jin Shaonan was still very happy. He didn't want to see du Anran running away all the time. He wanted to see the optimistic and generous Du Anran from the past.
"That's good too. I'll arrange it for you today. There will be an interview tomorrow. Perform well. You'll definitely be able to do it, " Jin Shaonan said.
"okay, you have to teach me more in the future. " Du Anran was still happy to be able to start a new life and get rid of everything from the past.
"You're so smart. It won't take long for you to surpass me, " Jin Shaonan said with a smile.
"only a fool like you thinks I'm smart, " Du Anran teased. She thanked Jin Shaonan for appearing during her most lost and lowest stage of life. He was the one who gave her hope to move forward.
That day, she chatted with Jin Shaonan for a long time, from university to reality, and then to their respective lives. She even left Jin Shaonan to leave after dinner. She did not notice the black Mercedes that had been parked in front of her house for a long time.
The car had been parked in the dark, and the lights in the car had not been turned on. However, when Du Anran watched Jin Shaonan's car leave, the headlights of the car were turned on, and the light shone on her body.
Du Anran was shocked. When she turned around, she narrowed her eyes and saw Xin Zimo with a dark face in the car.
"He won't go away, " Du Anran cursed in a low voice and ignored him. She turned around and walked into the house.
Du Anran's actions clearly angered Xin Zimo. She did not come to his office today. He had already accumulated his anger for a day, and now, she still ignored his existence.
Xin Zimo immediately got out of the car and blocked Du Anran's way. When he looked into her eyes, he could not hide his anger.
"Du Anran, you don't want to see me? " Xin Zimo said lightly, but his tone was sour. He admitted that when he saw Du Anran and Jin Shaonan talking and laughing, he felt a tinge of bitterness in his heart. This was something he had never felt before.
"Why would I want to see you? Don't take yourself too seriously, " Du Anran said coldly.
The anger in Xin Zimo's heart was completely aroused. He grabbed du Anran's wrist like a bloodthirsty lion. "Don't forget your current position. If you anger me, your Du family will not have a good life! "
He used a lot of strength, and Du Anran's wrist hurt so much that she almost cried. His mood was really like the sky in June, unpredictable. And his words were like a sharp dagger, piercing into her already scarred heart.
"from tomorrow onwards, you and Bai Ruyun will move out of this villa! " Xin Zimo threw something that looked like a real estate certificate at Du Anran's feet. "Don't blame me for not giving you face. You're the one who refused to accept the hard way. "
Du Anran suddenly understood why he asked her to go to the office today. She had signed the contract to sell the villa as a mortgage a month ago, even though she had never known who bought the house.
Today, she finally knew that he was the one who had bought her house. Just like that, he had quietly taken control of everything in his hands, and she was just a doll that he could manipulate.
She wanted to cry, but no tears came. Her tears had long since run out in the lonely night.
"Do you have any other instructions? " She gave up struggling and accepted her fate. She had already set up many traps, so why would she not accept her fate.
Xin Zimo was stunned for a few seconds before he let go of her wrist and said coldly, "remember, don't provoke me in the future! "
He left angrily. Soon, Du Anran, who was standing in the same spot, heard the sound of the car starting. She was like a poor doll, quietly standing under the vast moonlight. She allowed the summer night wind to blow past her ears, causing her heart to feel cold.
She was a little unwilling. This was the house that she had lived in for more than twenty years. Why should she give it to him. She missed every blade of grass and tree in the villa. The swing that she had played on when she was young, the Blue Jacaranda that her mother had planted with her own hands, these were her deepest memories... ... Why did she give all of this to this bastard ! !
Her wrist was still hurting, and tears flowed down her cheeks. The summer night was silent.
