After some thought, Gu Shaoting spoke up, “Then write up a proposal as you all suggested and give it to me. If there’s nothing else, the meeting is adjourned.”
As his words fell, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The matter had a resolution, and they were finally spared the mental torment.
Recently Mr. Gu had been prone to anger. Two days ago, he berated a manager so badly that the scene was chaotic.
So everyone had been on edge lately, working with heightened vigilance. People left one by one. Only Gu Shaoting and He Ming remained in the conference room.
“What’s going on? You’ve been gloomy since the divorce,” He Ming, unafraid to touch on the topic, said, “You haven’t let go, have you?”
“Get lost. Who hasn’t let go? Now I’m feeling carefree and comfortable. Look at Shu Laide’s current state. He’s reaping what he sowed. It’s just that I’m still not used to it,” Gu Shaoting’s words seemed to have an underlying meaning.
He Ming nodded, “That’s good then. Start your new life quickly. The world is full of wonders. Don’t give up the entire forest for a single tree.” After saying this, he got up and left the conference room.
In the spacious and bright office, only Gu Shaoting remained. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the bustling crowd below, couldn’t help but wonder, was she among them?
After the divorce, he suddenly felt uncomfortable with her absence. This wasn’t a good sign.
Back at home, Shu Pan couldn’t help but sneeze. Seeing the brilliant sunshine outside, she decided to head to the market in town.
Not far from home, the streets were a bit crowded, but no one was in a hurry, and the pace was slow. She strolled leisurely and suddenly saw a flower shop not far away that was hiring.
Shu Pan walked in, and the owner of the flower shop was a girl about her age named Lan Lan.
The two hit it off instantly, and Shu Pan honestly told Lan Lan about her pregnancy. Lan Lan didn’t mind. She didn’t have much work for her to do and sometimes needed someone to watch the shop when she went to purchase more flowers.
Shu Pan was ecstatic. Although the money wasn’t much, it could at least cover the expenses before giving birth.
After the child was born, she could make plans to return to her professional work.
When Shu Pan returned home, she told the elderly couple about this. Both of them objected, wondering why she would work when she was pregnant, and worried that her body couldn’t handle it.
Shu Pan explained that the work was easy, and they were financially tight right now.
The two reluctantly agreed. Other people had their husbands to take care of them when they were pregnant, but Pan Pan had to work for a living. The two of them revealed distressed expressions at the same time.
Shu Pan didn’t have the energy to think about anything else. For now, her child was the most important thing to her.
She felt that this kind of life was not bad for her.
A new life, a new beginning.
After a while, Shu Pan finally remembered that she hadn’t informed Xiaomeng about leaving Bin City. She also didn’t know how Xiaomeng was doing.
Thinking about it, she took out her phone and dialed her number. A pleasant song played on the other end of the phone, but no one answered for a long time.
Shu Pan became a bit anxious. She thought, “Could something have happened?”
The call ended automatically. Shu Pan dialed again, but once again, there was no answer on the other end.
Worried and helpless, Shu Pan was getting more and more anxious. Just as she was becoming frantic, the phone finally rang. It was Xiaomeng.
Shu Pan immediately put the phone to her ear, “Xiaomeng, are you okay?
Normally, you answer the phone within three seconds. What’s going on today?”
“Hey girl, I’m at the hospital. There are too many people, and I didn’t notice the call,” Xiaomeng’s tone was calm, and it was hard to discern her emotions..
