As soon as the sun went down, Ji Xiaoyue appeared at the door of the ward with a thermos.
She was wrapped tightly in a beige coat and a gray scarf. As soon as she entered the room, she brought a gust of cold wind. She unwrapped the scarf and stomped her feet in front of the bed.
"Damn the weather. It was above zero yesterday, but after the rain, it dropped a few degrees. I'm freezing."
"Didn't you take a taxi?"
"I don't have money, so I took the bus. I spent all my savings for this month to get you admitted to the hospital last night. You have to pay me back as soon as you're discharged. Otherwise, I'll really have to eat."
"The bank card is in my bag. You can take it yourself."
Ye Huanyan's face was pale, and her voice was very weak.
"I won't tease you anymore. I don't have that much money. I took the bank card from your bag last night. The password hasn't been changed for so many years. I have a conscience. Other people would have taken your money away."
Ji Xiaoyue rubbed her hands and opened the thermos. She giggled. "Let's not talk about this. I brought you fish soup. Drink it while it's hot."
Ye Huanyan forced a smile and drank two mouthfuls of soup from Ji Xiaoyue's hand.
"You didn't make it yourself, right?"
After drinking it, she felt a warmth in her lower abdomen. The faint smell of the medicine box in the soup spread in the ward.
"Uh … I asked the housekeeper to help me."
Ji Xiaoyue stuffed the thermos into Ye Huanyan's hand and guiltily avoided her eyes.
"Drink it yourself …"
Ye Huanyan didn't suspect anything. She held the spoon and slowly drank the soup. The taste of the soup was quite familiar. She didn't have much appetite, but after drinking two mouthfuls, she felt quite comfortable.
Ji Xiaoyue tilted her head and took something out of her bag. She couldn't help but think of the inexplicable scene before she got off work.
Before she got off work, Ling Han called her to the office and magically brought out a thermos. His tone was very stiff as he asked her to bring it to the hospital.
To be honest, she really couldn't understand what Ling Han was thinking. For example, he clearly wanted to show goodwill, but he coldly warned her not to tell Ye Huanyan that he prepared the soup.
"Why? You didn't poison the soup, did you?"
Ji Xiaoyue couldn't hold back and exposed her inner thoughts.
Ling Han glanced at her coldly. His tone was a little gloomy.
"If you want her to drink it and recover as soon as possible, and if you want her to leave Pleasure Group and not care about any self-righteous old feelings between us, then don't say anything."
It was also Ling Han's words that made her hold back.
Just as she took out the two recommendation letters, Ji Xiaoyue looked at Ye Huanyan and saw that she didn't look too bad. She took them out and said, "Yan Yan, I have good news for you."
"Alright, go ahead."
"You know 'Fengshang' magazine, right? When we were in college, all the students in the Academy of Arts racked their brains to get into it."
"Yes, I know. They started to cooperate with our company last year. Every year, they regularly shoot a collective cover for the company's artists. At the beginning of last year, Sheng Anran … Sheng Anran was on their cover."
When Sheng Anran was mentioned, Ye Huanyan's face changed slightly. She seemed to be a little disgusted, and there was obviously a trace of forbearance on her face.
Ji Xiaoyue wasn't in the mood to hear anything wrong from her words. Her mind was full of how to persuade this woman, who was only devoted to Ling Han, to take the initiative to quit her job and run to a better future with her.
"Now there's an opportunity. Let's work at Fengshang together. What do you think?"
She said casually, and Ye Huanyan didn't take it seriously. She drank a mouthful of fish soup and said lightly, "What do you mean? It's not like I don't have a job."
"What if you don't have a job?" Ji Xiaoyue suddenly became serious. "Don't forget that the travel plan can't be completed according to the company's requirements. Ling Han wants the two of us to quit. The military order has been made. What if it doesn't succeed?"
Ye Huanyan was slightly stunned. She looked at Ji Xiaoyue suspiciously. "What are you trying to say?"
She suddenly mentioned Fengshang, suddenly talked about quitting, and suddenly beat around the bush.
Ji Xiaoyue frowned and took out two recommendation letters in her hand.
"These are the recommendation letters from Fengshang. The two of us can take these directly to Fengshang's editor-in-chief, and we can be hired directly. The annual salary of the position is the same as that of Fengshang, and we can do the things we like. Think about it, those bags, perfume, shoes … we deal with these every day. How many women dream of …"
"Xiao Yue …" Ye Huanyan suddenly put the thermos of fish soup on the table. Her face was stiff. "Where did these recommendation letters come from?"
"…"
"Why do we have to leave?"
"Yan Yan." Ji Xiaoyue saw that she didn't look good, so she quickly explained, "Isn't it better to start over in another place?"
"Xiao Yue, we haven't failed yet. The deadline hasn't arrived yet. How do you know we can't complete it?" Her anxious tone made it sound as if she had been betrayed.
"Did you meet with a setback at Guan Nai's place? It's okay. I'll talk to her. "
Ji Xiaoyue looked at her and frowned even more.
"Ling Han gave them to me."
She interrupted Ye Huanyan's hopeful blueprint prospects. Her words cut off the last trace of hope she had.
It was Ling Han who asked us to leave, not me. No matter how hard you work, it's useless. The boss doesn't appreciate you, or even hates you. He wants you to leave as soon as possible. This has nothing to do with your ability. It has to do with you as a person.
Ye Huanyan, do you understand?
The subtext behind those words was written all over Ji Xiaoyue's face. There was a trace of pity in her eyes. This kind of pity made Ye Huanyan's heart gradually turn cold. The color on her face, which had instantly improved because of her anxiety, disappeared bit by bit. She stared blankly at Ji Xiaoyue, her eyes dim.
"Yan Yan, start over in another place. Although I don't know what exactly happened between the two of you last night, it's pretty much the same as before. What kind of life have you had for the past half a year? How much longer are you going to humiliate yourself? Do you owe him?"
Do you owe him? Ye Huanyan?
She slowly lowered her head. Her fingers touched the recommendation letter on the table. Her voice was a little choked. "Xiao Yue, it seems like I really do owe him."
Ji Xiaoyue cried out in alarm. She watched as the recommendation letter was torn into pieces in Ye Huanyan's hands. The pieces scattered on the snow-white bedsheets like butterflies fluttering in the wind. They lost their lives and fell to the ground one after another.
"What are you doing?"
She grabbed her hand, but it was too late.
"Xiao Yue, Fengshang is a place that you like. If you want to go, you can go. I can't go."
"You're still thinking about him? You still like him? Are you crazy? "
Ji Xiaoyue's face was filled with anger and disbelief. She was so angry that her head was about to explode from her disappointing best friend.
"Just take it that I'm crazy. I want to be discharged."
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"There's not much time. I have to talk to those clients and artists."
"Talk to your sister. Can you even go out in your current condition?" Ji Xiaoyue held her forehead with a speechless expression.
"Ye Huanyan, sit down. I have a piece of news. Do you want to hear it? It's about the company's plans. "
