Coming out of the company after another interview, Ling Yiran could not help but give a wry smile.She thought she was mentally prepared and was even willing to work as a rider with no basic salary, which some companies had, but even then, she was turned down.Seeing that it was almost noon, Ling Yiran found a small restaurant by the side of the road and ordered a bowl of noodles that cost ten dollars.This was already the cheapest bowl of noodles in the shop.There was also an old television set in the shop. The news was playing on the TV and it was replaying yesterday's news. Ling Yiran listened casually at first, only to look up sharply at the mentioning of a familiar company.It was... the company where she first interviewed for the rider job. It was also their boss who called Yi Jinli and told him about her interview.Yi Jinli had previously said he wanted to get rid of the company.Now, the news said that the company was facing a capital chain rupture. The money that was e
"He didn't bother me much. Your son is cute," said Ling Yiran. "However, he seems to crave noodles. He keeps staring at it.""If you give him noodles, he may or may not eat it. He just likes to join in the fun," the woman said and started to gesticulate with both hands in front of the little boy.Ling Yiran was stunned and immediately noticed what the woman was doing... Sign language!"He..." she blurted.The woman said, "He can't hear, but he already knows some sign language, so he understands simple gestures."The woman said and continued to slowly say, "Apologize to Aunty," while signing.Then, Ling Yiran saw the little boy bow in her direction as if to express his apology.Ling Yiran could not help rubbing the little boy's head. He was so young, but he could not hear. Was all the sound in this world non-existent to him?The woman carried the little boy away while Ling Yiran continued to eat her noodles, but it left her with a heavy heart.She finished her noodles and was a
"By the way, my name is Zhuo Qianyun. You can call me Sis Zhuo. What's your name?" the boss asked."I'm Ling Yiran. Sis Zhuo, you can just call me Yiran," said Ling Yiran, and all at once, it seemed as if the gloom in her eyes was dispelled.Zhuo Qianyun looked at Ling Yiran, her eyes flickering.Ling Yiran left after leaving her name and contact information. A woman in her 50s went over to Zhuo Qianyun. "What were you talking about with that woman?""She just applied to be our food delivery rider, and I agreed to let her come to work tomorrow," said Zhuo Qianyun."A woman her age applying to be a rider? There must be something wrong with her. Don't girls like her usually get an office job?" This rider job paid low wages, and only people in their 50s were asking about it these days. However, they resented the low pay and long hours, so they refused to join."She has a criminal record for killing someone with her car," said Zhuo Qianyun. "I think she's nice. She was kind to Lil Ya
Ling Yiran's first reaction was that Yi Jinli would go after the small restaurant. An up-and-coming company that others said had a bright future was currently in doubt and would probably be rid of, not to mention a small restaurant."I... I hadn't thought of it that way," she muttered. She did not want anything to happen to Sis Zhuo's small restaurant because of her. After all, she could see that Sis Zhuo was a nice person. With a deaf son, she must be heavily burdened. "It's best if you hadn't. You can stay here in peace," Yi Jinli said with a smile.Ling Yiran pressed her lips together and said nothing.Yi Jinli took Ling Yiran's hands and pressed her palms against his cheeks. "Sinc
However, instead of obediently returning to his mother's arms as he had done yesterday, he tightened his hold on Ling Yiran's legs.Zhuo Qianyun said, "Sorry, Lil Yan's not usually like this. He seems to like you.""It's all right. I like Lil Yan too," said Ling Yiran, picking up the little one as she spoke.The little one did not struggle and was remarkably submissive. He even grinned broadly at Ling Yiran after she picked him up.The smile had a trace of timidity and ingratiation that made Ling Yiran strangely sad. "Hello, Lil Yan," said Ling Yiran, raising her hand to touch the little one's head.However, the little one could not hear her voice at all. He did not know what she was saying. He only looked at her in confusion.Zhuo Qianyun looked at her son and then at Ling Yiran. Suddenly, there was a flash of gloom in her eyes. Did Lil Yan... mistake Yiran for that person? Was that why he was so unnaturally close to... If so, it was such a shame... They could never see that per
Besides, as the boss, she handled the cashier, served the dishes, cleaned the tables, and seemed to do a little of everything. When the business was busy, she had no time at all.Her abilities might be limited, but she gave her son the best that she could give.At about three o'clock, the restaurant received another order, which included pineapple buns and milk tea.It was only when Ling Yiran saw the address that she was distracted."What's the matter? Is there a problem?" Zhuo Qianyun had prepared the order for Ling Yiran only to find her staring blankly at the order receipt."It's nothing," replied Ling Yiran, taking the pineapple buns and milk tea.The address of the order was clearly the law firm where she had previously worked at. Now that she was going to deliver food there, she would naturally meet her former colleagues.Back then, she was such a splendid person in the office, Perhaps in a moment, she would be very embarrassed.Ling Yiran felt a hint of bitterness in he
However, her arm was caught the next moment. Then, with a jerk, she fell into a wide embrace.She unconsciously wanted to break away from his arms, but his hands closed around her and held her closer."What a perfunctory good night, Sis!" he muttered as his lips were close to her ear.Her body trembled a little, and she could feel his breathing on her ears. Her whole body seemed to be enveloped in his breath."You... Let go," she said, her face turning red."Why don't you tell me about your first day at your new job first?" he asked."It's just a regular delivery job. Someone orders something, and I just deliver it to them," she said, feeling her heart beating faster and faster. Even her blood flow was a lot faster."Is that so? Did you have a good meal today?" His voice once again rang in her ear."Yes, I ate with the boss. She provides two meals a day." Her face was heating up as if it was going to burn. The strange sensation made her panic. All she wanted now was for him to
In the wee hours of the day, when Ling Yiran was fast asleep in bed, the door between the two rooms opened slowly. A tall figure walked in.Those normally cold, amorous eyes were looking at the woman on the bed. At this moment, his gaze was full of attachment."Good night, Sis." A low and elegant voice spilled out from his mouth, it was tinged with attachment, and at the same time there was also an unspeakable desperation. ...When Ling Yiran went to work the next day, the store received a large order of more than 30 at noon.Normally, she would only deliver 7 to 8 in one go. All of a sudden, there was an order of more than 30. It was pretty much what the small restaurant would deliver in one afternoon.Zhuo Qianyun hurriedly got the order ready and said to Ling Yiran, "Thank you so much for delivering these.""What about the other food delivery orders?" said Ling Yiran. After all, once she went out to deliver this, she might not be able to deliver the others."It's all right.
