Chapter 58: What's Going On?

  She walked back and forth in a daze, as if enchanted, to the park. [Ha eighteen] This was the first place she met Ye Kaiwen, now the fountain is not as clear as before, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

  Sat for two hours, only to reluctantly leave. But didn't want to go back to the apartment and let those women gossip, lately not even interested in playing games either. When there was nothing to do, the phone rang and a familiar voice came through, "Xiaoxi, have you found a job?"

  "Not at all!" She walked to the edge of the bridge and sat down, shaking her legs as she spoke.

  "Oh, are you okay?" Ye Kaiwen asked with concern upon hearing her somewhat helpless tone.

  "It's okay, just feel very annoyed!"

  "Then would you like to go with me to the hotel and sing?" Ye Kaiwen had just found a performance at a four-star hotel's banquet, and was also planning to find Gu Xi as his partner.

  "No need, some things are better left untried. I'm busy first!" Her rejection was so swift that it left people stunned, sometimes really couldn't understand what she had in mind, accepting quickly and rejecting quickly!

  Gu Xi hung up the phone and leaned on the railing beside him, lost in thought for a whole day. It wasn't until night fell that he realized he should head home. He patted his pants pocket to find that he hadn't brought any cigarettes today, nor had he had an episode.

  Another week has passed in a daze, and her work is still unsettled. Just on Sunday morning, he appeared in the apartment complex where Gu Xi lived, gazing at the darkened floors, but ultimately chose to leave.

  The next day, under the pretext of calling her over to pick up her clothes, she was actually deceived into coming over. But after sitting for only a few minutes, she left again, and the work had not been settled, so she was restless.

  "Xiaoxi, I've noticed you look pale lately. Want to try our company's product? It's really useful!" Lin Xiaorong's voice was unusually soft, and the distant noise from the side could be vaguely heard.

  "What's with suddenly introducing me to a product?" Gu Xi asked in confusion.

  "It's not that, I just think our boss looks really good after using it, his face is all rosy. It's really great, why don't you buy a set too? I can get some commission out of it." After Lin Xiaorong's enthusiastic sales pitch for two or three days, she started dialing all the familiar numbers to promote the product, and also told her colleagues that last year someone came to do business and was able to live in a big house and drive a famous car after just one year.

  In a conference hall with a capacity of about 500 people, there were only around 100 people scattered about, passionately shouting out their career ideals. The training had been going on for two consecutive days, and the person in charge was a man in his forties or fifties wearing glasses and dressed neatly and elegantly, giving off a professorial air.

  The passionate opening remarks, I don't know how many lost young people were inspired. After two days of training, the class was dismissed and went to bed. Although the environment looked simple, but in my heart, I was making excuses for myself.

  Following those colleagues, even more passionate. Lin Xiaorong was assigned to a small dormitory with eight people, a luxurious and comfortable rich girl, entering such a simple environment for the first time, of course, had complaints. After communicating with the instructor who taught the class, finally still understood one fact, she needs to grow up, growing up must suffer a lot.

  "What product?" Gu Xi continued to ask.

  "Are you interested in trying the Kanabeijia Liangyan nourishing capsules?" Lin Xiaorong was suddenly confused by her question. The day before yesterday, she had seen a few scattered boxes of cosmetics in the so-called warehouse, and hadn't even taken a good look at the labels. Fortunately, there was a book that specifically introduced the products, which she couldn't memorize for the time being, and she was still reading from it while talking on the phone.

  "What a mess, how are you doing?" Gu Xi always suspected that Lin Xiao Rong would get into some kind of trouble from the words she transmitted. Didn't they say they were trained? Why was she speaking so vaguely?

  "It's just for oral beauty care, it's quite cheap. A set is only 1,000 yuan, and one course requires three sets." Lin Xiaorong said with relish.

  The image of the passionate teacher lecturing in class appeared in her mind, with more and more words pouring out, Gu Xi was her first customer, and all her hopes were pinned on him.

  "What are you doing? Aren't you supposed to be working as a shopping guide in the store? Why do you need to make sales calls?" Gu Xi asked, tossing and turning on the bed.

  "It's not that, our store needs to expand. Business also needs development, by the way, have you found a job? Our company still has many positions open! ” Lin Xiaorong held the phone while two sisters stood beside her, saying they wanted to train her conversation skills, which was also part of the trial period training, so she turned on the speaker and everyone heard.

  A dark-skinned woman with a face full of freckles, a plump figure, and an exceptionally confident gait. Her name was Gunala, also the younger sister of Gu Hongmei, the boss of the store. Another employee, Zhuang Xinya, had been working here for the longest time. She looked quite different from her elegant name, but deep down, she still envied their confidence.

  "Where the hell are you now?" Gu Xi cursed into the phone with some indignation.

  "Never mind, put down your phone!" Gunala whispered, tugging gently on Lin Xiaorong's sleeve.

  They determined that the other was a strong and intelligent girl who needed to be studied carefully. However, Lin Xiaorong seemed not to have heard Guna's words, or perhaps she was intimidated by Gu Xi's scolding tone.

  "Sorry, Xiao Xi, I don't know where I am either, and I've been posting on Weibo." Before Lin Xiaorong's words had even fallen, the two of them were pulled up and rushed to another secret room for a scolding.

  "Hey... hey, fatty! Where did you go?" Gu Xi scrunched up her eyebrows in anger and slammed the phone onto the door frame, violently knocking off the cover.

  Her right eye twitched violently, and people said she was very sensitive. She just opened the computer and entered Weibo to enter Lin Xiaorong's page, fortunately, she had a narcissistic personality, and liked taking pictures wherever she went.

  Winding roads, with rows of banyan trees leaning in towards the road, feeling very unfamiliar, also a place in F city. It's just a suburb, seeing her check-in address showing Dà Yuán district, belonging to a small suburb of F city, the environment is relatively poor, but the traditional Chinese medicine industry there is quite famous.

  Gu Xi started collecting clues, her heart always in a flurry. After simply searching for the general location, she prepared to go out to the living room to wash up. Today, the apartment was unusually quiet, could it be that Shangguan Yiyi had not gotten out of bed yet?

  The first time I didn't see her whispering in the living room, it wasn't quite used to it, so I simply armed myself and was about to leave. The computer wasn't even turned off, and I hastily walked out the door.

  She walked to the bus stop and started taking the G6 bus to the West Bus Terminal, then transferred twice. She was exhausted, took out her phone and started playing music to refresh herself. Feeling anxious, she wondered why Ling Hao Yu hadn't called her all day, she wasn't used to it, and her mind kept guessing what he was doing.

  She then involuntarily dialed his number, but it rang for a long time without being answered. Just as she was about to dial again, the phone automatically shut down. She didn't have the habit of keeping a backup battery charged, so she sighed and fell asleep in the car, far away in Dayuan District.

  After a bumpy ride of more than three hours, I finally got off the last bus. The people here are not more arrogant than those in the city, and the crowd coming and going may be that this is a densely populated area, coincidentally encountering rush hour.

  She happened to see a rice noodle shop, walked up and looked at the menu, ordered a bowl of Guilin rice noodles. The facilities inside were old, but the sanitation was in place, with two or three aunts standing by to clean up at any time.

  Gu Xi looked at the clock on the wall, it was almost noon. No wonder her stomach was growling with hunger, the rice noodles tasted very fresh and delicious, especially its old soup, which reached an extreme level of flavor, but she couldn't understand why business here was so bleak.

  The boss's wife is a woman in her forties, wearing an apron that accentuates her layered belly. Her cheeks are slightly sagging, and she speaks with a lively tone. Judging from her accent, she's not a local. With such excellent craftsmanship, if she were in the city, business might be booming.

  "Boss, may I ask if there is a health preservation hall here?" Gu Xi took out his phone and it was all black screen. While eating, he felt a bit anxious and hadn't even finished putting the noodles in his mouth when he asked the boss lady sitting at the counter.

  "It seems so, I'm not usually out and about, you can tell by this body of mine." The boss's wife said as her double chin moved vigorously, shaking back and forth. The two thin aunts beside her just nodded in agreement without saying a word.

  "Alright!" Gu Xi listened to her finish, then took a sip of the soup and put down his chopsticks. He pulled out a 10-yuan bill and handed it to the boss. This big bowl for just 10 yuan was really worth it, he felt satisfied, and began searching everywhere for Lin Xiaorong.

  There are many small alleys here, and it's easy to get lost in the lanes. Just now when I got off the car, I saw a lot of people, but walking into the alley, there are few people around. Maybe because of the hot weather and strong radiation, that's why there aren't more people strolling around. However, there are still many street vendors selling snacks along the streets.

  Looking at the unfamiliar faces, she asked several people but no one knew where the health club was. She felt a bit disappointed, if Ling Haoyu had answered the phone, at least one of them would have been able to ask for directions.

  "What are you all doing? Hurry up and solve it, go!" Ling Haoyu had just arrived at the company when he received one bad news after another. Recently, there were problems with the materials of the decoration company, fake and inferior products, and they were exposed again.

  He hasn't been putting his mind to work lately, that's why he's always running into trouble. The Singapore franchise project is also frustrating him, just now in the conference room he slammed his hand on the table and got everyone started solving problems. He patted his pockets but couldn't find his phone, it turned out he left it in the office.

  Not until he finished his work and had lunch did he return to the office. There were many unreturned calls, one of which was a shocking number from Gu Xi.

  He knew that Gu Xi would never call him proactively unless something had happened. The callback only reminded him of the incoming call, and it was probably turned off. One wave after another, he hurriedly packed up his files, left the company, and arrived at Gu Xi's apartment to see what was going on.
