Chapter 2271 The turning point of fate

Seeing that several people were discussing the landlord, Jing Sa quickly said, "Pay the money, right? It's my duty. Xiaofang, how much is it? I'll give it to you!"

Shen Xiaofang said: "Just like us."

"Okay, Xiaofang, count!"

Shen Xiaofang took the money and said, "No need, I'll go and pay for you."

After she left the room, she counted the money and found that she had enough money for this month's living expenses. And because there was one more person, she would have to pay a little more rent every month and no longer have to worry about her parents cutting off her living expenses.

Just as she was happily counting money, she suddenly received a call from her parents. They asked how Shen Xiaofang and Zhao Shucheng's relationship was progressing and when they could get engaged and married.

This call caught her off guard. After all, she had initially asked Zhao Shucheng to pretend to be her boyfriend just to give herself and Chen Yaqi some time to date. But now her parents seemed to really think that Zhao Shucheng was her boyfriend and even forced her to get married.

She looked at Yan Ruyu who was still chatting with Sura Jingsa in the room, and suddenly felt that she seemed to have done something wrong.

After hesitating for a while, she thought it would be better to call Zhao Shucheng, tell him about the current situation, and see what she could do to make her parents not be so anxious about letting them get married.

Zhao Shucheng still felt a little strange after receiving Shen Xiaofang's call. After all, except for the time when Shen's father and mother asked to meet, they didn't have much contact.

Shen Xiaofang basically never takes the initiative to contact herself. Sometimes when she needs Zhao Shucheng to come forward, she will ask Yan Ruyu to call her.

"Xiaofang, what happened?"

Shen Xiaofang said hesitantly: "Brother Zhao, my parents have a good impression of you and hope that we can get engaged soon, but you also know that our relationship is fake, so..."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "So you want me to break up, so that your parents won't force us to get engaged, right?"

"No, Brother Zhao, I think my parents have a good impression of you, so can you tell them that we need more contact to know if we are suitable for each other, and ask them to give us more time."

Zhao Shucheng asked curiously: "Why don't we just tell them that we're breaking up?"

Shen Xiaofang sighed and said, "I don't understand my parents yet. Even if I say I want to break up with you, they still won't like Yaqi. They will definitely introduce me to a blind date, and I won't be able to refuse directly. Then I will be the same as now, or even worse than you, my fake boyfriend. I might have to deal with the blind date and explain to Chen Yaqi at the same time."

Zhao Shucheng couldn't help laughing when he heard Shen Xiaofang's tone on the phone, and said, "Okay, I promise you, if your parents contact me at that time, I will tell them that we just met and are not very familiar with each other. We need more contact before we can know if we are the right people to spend the rest of our lives with. Let them give us more time and don't rush us to get married now."

"But if I took the initiative to call them, they might think I was playing with their feelings, so next time your parents ask you, tell them what I think. If they are worried, I will go to their house to explain the situation."

"Okay, Brother Zhao, thank you!" Shen Xiaofang suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. She finally didn't have to face forced marriage.

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Nothing, this is what we agreed on from the beginning. By the way, is Xiaoyan back?"

"Yes, I'm back. I'm tidying up Jing Sa's room with Sura!"

Zhao Shucheng was stunned for a moment and said, "So you have a new tenant now? I remember your apartment is not a three-bedroom apartment. Can four people live there?"

"It's okay. Sura and Jing Sa live in the same room. They have a good relationship and don't mind living together."

Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but shook his head and said, "As long as you like it. I was thinking of letting Xiaoyan move out if there's no room."

Shen Xiaofang blurted out: "No, Yanyan must live here!"

After reacting, Shen Xiaofang quickly said, "Brother Zhao, Yanyan lives here. You can come to pick him up when the time comes. By the way, let my parents know that you come here often, so they won't be suspicious."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Okay, I got it! By the way, when Xiaoyan is resting, do you have time? Then invite your Chen Yaqi and we can go out together. We can take some photos and deal with your parents."

Shen Xiaofang said, "Of course I have time. I don't have a job right now, so I can come anytime. As for Yaqi, I need to ask, but it shouldn't be a big problem. After all, as a chef in a small restaurant, it's okay to take a day off occasionally."

"Okay, then it's settled. Please tell Xiaoyan for me."

Shen Xiaofang was about to agree, but suddenly remembered that she had met Zhao Shucheng privately before, and Yan Ruyu was angry, so she could only say: "Well, Brother Zhao, I think you should tell Yanyan in person. After all, it's not very formal to ask someone else to tell your girlfriend on a date."

Zhao Shucheng agreed with a smile. After hanging up the phone, he asked about Yan Ruyu's schedule and told her about her plans to go out and play.

Yan Ruyu suddenly thought of something and said, "Brother Zhao, why do you have to find me at work? Why not just let Xiaofang and Yaqi sign up for the tour when I lead the tour? This will be much more convenient."

Zhao Shucheng refused directly and said, "Xiaoyan, I have to say something to you. You want to have both work and love, but you are a tour guide. You need to take care of not only me but also the other tourists in your group. If we really go with a group, do you think you can take care of others? Work is work, life is life, they should be separated, not mixed together."

Although Yan Ruyu was scolded by Zhao Shucheng, she did not feel sad. Instead, she felt that what Zhao Shucheng said made sense, so she agreed.

The next day, when Yan Ruyu went to work at the travel agency, she heard a piece of unexpected news. Because Jing Sa resigned, Liu Haodong asked Sura to take over Jing Sa's previous position.

This made Yan Ruyu feel somewhat balanced psychologically. It was she who introduced Sura to the Star Travel Agency. He came less than a month earlier than herself and now he has become the manager, while she is still a clerk who cannot lead a tour group.

When Sura came to the company, her colleagues happily told her the news and asked her to take care of her in the future.

Su La walked up to Yan Ruyu and said, "Yan Yan, what's going on?"

"It's your own business, why are you asking me?"

After Yan Ruyu finished speaking, she didn't care about Su La's thoughts and walked aside with the documents. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so she called Zhao Shucheng and told him about it.

Zhao Shucheng found it a little funny after hearing this and said, "No, it sounds like you are a little unconvinced and a little angry?"

Yan Ruyu also felt that her thinking was a little wrong, and said: "Brother Zhao, I am not jealous of Sura, I just think my ability is not worse than Sura, why can't Mr. Liu consider me?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Xiaoyan, I also think that it is not appropriate for Sura to be the manager. Although your previous manager Jing Sa has left, there should still be many old employees in the company. They should have come earlier than you and Sura, and they should be familiar with the work of the travel agency, right?"

"Boss Liu did not give priority to those employees, but promoted Sura instead. Although it seems that he values ​​Sura's ability, it is not fair to other employees. Internal competition should also be based on the principles of fairness, justice and openness, rather than the boss arbitrarily promoting employees, which will undoubtedly discourage employees. For example, you are very dissatisfied now, and other employees support Sura on the surface, but they also have emotions, but because Sura is now a leader, they suppress their emotions."

In fact, Zhao Shucheng knew very well that Su La was able to take Jing Sa's previous position simply because she was the heroine and the plot required it. If it were a normal company, if the boss dared to make such an arrangement, it would have caused an uproar within the company. Even if the employees didn't say anything on the surface, they must be suspicious of the relationship between Su La and the boss, and they might even suspect that they were having an affair.

  After all, it is impossible that Sura is the only one who meets the requirements for promotion in such a large company. Otherwise, are all the previous employees just eating for free? Or are they not qualified and can only serve as basic tour guides?

This made Zhao Shucheng somewhat suspicious of Liu Haodong's management methods. He also understood why he handed over the company to Yan Ruyu in the later period of the original plot, and why Yan Ruyu used the company's assets to speculate in stocks but he had no idea about it.

Because he was still naive about the management of the company, he basically followed his own ideas. It was just that the market was good before and there were not many competitors, so he could make money, but once the company really encountered a crisis, he could only grope in the dark.

Employees see no opportunities for advancement, and even feel that they are not valued, so naturally they just become mere workers, doing their job well and not caring about anything else.

That is to say, Star Travel Agency is an important location in the plot, so those talents did not choose to resign. Otherwise, if they were in other companies, the employees would have been upset after seeing the boss's way of selecting talents, which would have affected their work and they might even leave the company on their own initiative.

Yan Ruyu was speechless after hearing what Zhao Shucheng said, and she felt that her jealousy came out of nowhere.

Zhao Shucheng continued, "Xiao Yan, I don't think it's appropriate for you to stay at Star Travel Agency right now. Have you ever thought about leaving there and coming to my company to help me?"

Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why is it not appropriate?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Look, now Sura is your boss, so in your daily work, you have to follow Sura's arrangements. This has its advantages, as it is easier for you to build trust and understanding. After all, you are familiar with each other and understand each other's personalities and habits, so it helps the work go smoothly."

"But the psychological gap will also make you feel uncomfortable. The reason why she called me just now was because of this discomfort. After all, you were originally equal, but your status will be somewhat unequal in the future. Moreover, if you encounter problems and challenges in your future work, it will also cause some troubles for your friendship. For example, if you are not satisfied with the work she arranged, should you point it out to her in person? Or if you make a mistake, should she criticize you? If you don't hang up or ask, it will be unfair to others, but if she criticizes you, will you be able to accept it calmly at that time?"

Yan Ruyu fell silent after hearing this. When she thought about having to face these problems in the future, she felt that she might not be able to accept it at all.

"Then Brother Zhao, is it convenient for me to go to your company?"

"It's not inconvenient. You can just be my assistant and help me with some company documents. And once you get familiar with the company, you can also try to participate in the company's investment projects, which can allow you to get higher compensation."

Yan Ruyu said: "Brother Zhao, can you give me some time to think about it?"

"Of course, if you've figured it out, you can come and join me at any time. But I suggest you make a decision early, so you don't end up having a quarrel with Sura over work. After all, she's one of your few good friends in the Magic City, and you can't lose a good friend because of work."

"I understand, Brother Zhao!"

After Zhao Shucheng hung up the phone, he was also wondering what Yan Ruyu would do. In fact, this was also a turning point in Yan Ruyu's life. Before, she and Su La were equally matched, so they had a good relationship. But now Su La has been promoted. If Yan Ruyu continues to stay in the travel agency, the treatment between them will be very different, and their friendship will eventually fall apart.

Yan Ruyu would become jealous because she was not promoted, which eventually changed her beyond recognition, and she began to become greedy, crazy, and cruel. From then on, she began to betray her friends and scheme against her lover.

Zhao Shucheng is lending a helping hand at this time, so that Yan Ruyu will not take risks, or even escape her original fate. However, all this depends on Yan Ruyu's own choice. If she chooses to continue working in the travel agency, then Zhao Shucheng needs to choose another way to save her.

Fortunately, Yan Ruyu did not let Zhao Shucheng wait too long. In the afternoon, she called Zhao Shucheng and made an appointment to meet.

Zhao Shucheng drove to the travel agency and waited for Yan Ruyu to get off work.

After Yan Ruyu came out with her colleagues, she saw Zhao Shucheng was already waiting for her. She immediately said goodbye to her colleagues happily and got into the car.

When those colleagues saw Yan Ruyu getting into a Mercedes-Benz, they were immediately envious and jealous, and speculated about the relationship between Yan Ruyu and Zhao Shucheng.

Yan Ruyu naturally heard the discussion of her colleagues outside, and suddenly felt that Su La's promotion seemed nothing to be envied. Although she became a manager, her boyfriend was much better than Su La's suitor Qiu Shi.
