Five years later......

Five years may seem like a long time, but it can also seem like a snap of a finger.

Five years is enough time to carve a story, and five years can rewrite an ending.

Five years is enough time to change many people and many things......

Two hundred kilometers away from Jinshi, in the largest vegetable market in Windy City, a woman wearing oL overalls and black-rimmed glasses is leading a white and tender, four or five-year-old boy, who is carefully selecting vegetables in front of a stall.

"Mommy, Mommy. Wait a minute, what are we going to eat for dinner?" the boy looked up at the woman expectantly, raising a handsome little face.

The woman looked down and smiled, and pinched his fleshy little face dotingly. "In the evening, I'll ask Aunt Xiaoyan to make you tomato and beef brisket soup and braised chicken wings, okay?"

When the boy heard this, he immediately shrugged down his little head in frustration, "Ah, can't Mom have dinner with me today? Do you want to give me to Aunt Xiaoyan again?"

The woman put down the dish in her hand and crouched down in front of the boy, "Good Rarity, Mommy has to work overtime tonight." So, why don't you go to Aunt Xiaoyan's house for dinner tonight, and wait for your mother to pick you up after work?"

"This ......" the boy held up his cheeks like a little adult, and looked like he was lost in thought.

After a while, "Will Uncle Lu come?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Since Rarity likes Uncle Lu, will Mom ask Aunt Xiaoyan to call Uncle Lu later, and let Uncle Lu come over and eat with you?"

"Well... Good, great. In that way, Uncle Lu can play with me after eating. "Children are children after all, and as soon as they heard that they could play, the previous haze was immediately swept away, and they jumped up happily.

"Alright, I'll settle it. You have to be obedient at Aunt Xiaoyan's house tonight, and you are not allowed to lose your temper!" the woman said, pointing to the bridge of the boy's upturned little nose.

"Definitely, definitely.... Rarity promises not to lose her temper and never call her mom if there's nothing important!"

Only then did the woman put her mind at ease, stood up and continued to pick out the dishes.

But at the same time, she couldn't help but sigh slightly in her heart. Rarity's child may have lacked fatherly love since he was a child, so he seems to have a special affection for men of his age. Sometimes the two of them walk down the street and see a man who is a father, and Rarity can't help but point to her.

"Mommy, Mommy. What do you think my dad looks like? Is he as tall as that uncle?"

"Mommy, Mommy. Do you think I look like my father?......"

Every now and then, she would take the trouble to answer him.

Like, Rarity looks very similar to her father, like a mold carved out of a mold. ”

"But Mom, why doesn't my dad come to see me?"

She was most afraid of the child asking her like this, and she didn't know how to answer. I had to lie to him every time that his father had gone to work far away and couldn't come back to accompany him for the time being.

It's just that now that Rarity is getting older, he seems to be a little sensible, so he has always been very sticky to Lu Zan lately, and even said that Uncle Lu Zan is good at being his father.

"Mom, what are you thinking?" the boy asked, shaking the woman's hand and tilting his little head.

The woman quickly put the dishes she had picked up in a plastic bag and handed them to the vendor owner, then turned around and said, "Mom, I'm thinking that Rarity is about to have a birthday, what should I give you!"

"Really, Mom, you have to think about it, right?"

"Yes, definitely!" the woman smiled and touched the boy's head.

Although the women are dressed old-fashioned, they are also very old-fashioned. But when she laughed, she seemed to be ten years younger, and her skin looked good, white and red. A pair of beautiful apricot eyes happened to be hidden behind the lenses. It's just that how can a beautiful embryo with a good appearance want to dress up in ugliness? The vegetable seller was puzzled, and handed over the weighed dish with a smile. "Hello, a total of ninety-eight pieces!"

The woman took out her purse, paid the money, and led the little boy out of the bustling vegetable market.

In an ordinary residential community, a woman led her child up three flights of stairs and knocked on the door of one of the houses.

As soon as the door opened, Ah Yan in the house saw the woman outside carrying vegetables in one hand and the baby in the other, and immediately complained, "Ning Ran, you can come, why are you still bringing these things? Are you afraid that I will be hungry and Rarity will not succeed?"

Mo Ningran handed her the food in his hand, and then walked into the house very familiarly. "That's not what I mean, it's just that I always bring Rarity to your house for dinner, and I always have to say no. Otherwise, you would really be eating white food. ”

"Rarity, are you right?"

"Yes... Yes, Mom is right, we can't eat white food!" the little guy jumped up and down behind Mo Ningran and nodded like pounded garlic.

Ah Yan couldn't help but lean down and gently scratch the boy's nose.

"You little sycophant, your mother is right, isn't she?"

Then he straightened up and looked at Mo Ningran, "I really can't do anything about your mother and son!"

Mo Ningran smiled, walked to the dining table, poured himself a glass of boiled water, and took a sip.

"Oh yes, you're going to call your brother and ask him to come over for dinner!

"What about you?" Ayan walked up to her and put the plastic bag in her hand on the dining table.

"I won't eat with you, the hotel has been very busy lately, and I have to rush back to work later!"

Mo Ningran said and subconsciously raised his watch to take a look.

After listening to Mo Ningran's words, Ah Yan didn't talk immediately, but looked at the boy and said, "Rarity, Auntie has played your favorite cartoon "Peter Pan" for you in the living room, hurry up and watch it!"

When the boy heard this, he immediately jumped into the living room.

As soon as Rarity is out of sight, Ayan seriously interrogates her, "Is your hotel really busy or are you deliberately avoiding my brother?"

"Our hotel has been really busy lately, and I heard that a big company is about to buy it. Therefore, the leaders above look at us very tightly, and no one dares to have a bad pool!"

"Really, why do I think you're deliberately avoiding my brother like this?" Ah Yan circled around her twice.

"Tell me! What did my brother tell you about the last time he sent you back? ”

Mo Ningran was shocked and pushed her away, "You didn't say anything, you guessed!"

Ah Yan shook her head suspiciously, "Impossible." Tell me, did he propose to you, that's why you've been avoiding him lately?"

"But honestly, my cousin is a good candidate to marry, and you see he's kind to you and loves Rarity. Besides, he's been chasing you for so many years, shouldn't you also consider marrying him?"

Mo Ningran drank water silently and did not respond to her.

"Beichen, don't tell me that no one wants to accept it until now, because I can't let go of it in my heart..."

As soon as Ah Yan was in a hurry, she subconsciously blurted out and called her name five years ago.

Mo Ningran almost choked on a mouthful of water, "Okay, okay." It's not early, I'm going to work! You take care of Rarity, I'll pick him up later, ah. ”

As soon as she heard that she was going to mention the man's name, she hurriedly put down the teacup and made an excuse to slip away.

"Oh, I'll tell you serious, don't run away from it as soon as you talk about it...... It's a thing...."Ah Yan chased after her and chased until the gate.

But he slammed his nose at the door.

Ah Yan could only sigh helplessly.

When I walked to the window and opened the curtains, Mo Ningran had already gotten into her red second-hand Mazda.

She always persuaded her to get married, just because she wanted someone to help her share the burden.

I remember that when she was in Jin City in the past, although she was a young grandmother, she never put a young grandmother on the shelf to embarrass her. Finally, when she left, she also received a large amount of placement money from Uncle Quan, which solved her grandmother's surgery fee and her predicament.

Now she is a single woman, with a drag oil bottle and no one to rely on, life is always difficult.

*

The woman drove all the way back to the hotel, and as soon as she stepped into the hotel door, the manager's phone called.

"Ning Ran, come to my office!"

During the extraordinary period, Mo Ningran didn't dare to slack off, and hurried to the manager's office.

Walking into the office, she was still breathing unevenly after standing still. Manager Cui sat behind the desk and said, "Ning Ran, have you heard that our hotel is going to be acquired by a listed company?"

"I've heard a little bit, Manager Cui. Mo Ningran replied truthfully.

"Now that you've heard about it, you should also know that listed companies will generally have big layoffs after taking over hotels like ours that are on the verge of losing money, right?"

"Layoffs, manager, do you mean you're planning to lay off employees now?"

Recently, she has been taking a lot of time off because of Rarity's affairs, so shouldn't Manager Cui use this incident as an excuse to lay her off by the way?

Manager Cui is a professional manager recruited by their hotel before, and he is in his forties. The previous boss of the hotel has someone else, but if the hotel is acquired, although the boss changes, as long as the above company does not arrange a new manager, now the hotel has to be Manager Cui has the final say.

Manager Cui shook his head, "That's not what I meant. I mean to remind you that you have to put more effort into your work lately, and after the company is acquired, the new boss will inevitably have new policies. You are alone with children, and work is the guarantee of supporting your family. ”

"It's not easy for you to get to the position of housekeeping manager step by step over the years, so I'm reminding you not to leave a pretext for the new boss!"

It turned out that the manager called her over to remind her that he had misunderstood him!

Mo Ningran suddenly couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"Okay, manager. I see, thank you for the reminder, I will definitely cheer up and do things!"

Manager Cui nodded with satisfaction, "That's good! In addition, after you go down, you have to prepare the guest room well and check all the facilities and equipment in the room." Three days later, the group president of the listed company will come and sign the acquisition agreement, and they will stay at our hotel. ”

"It is said that this president is very demanding, has a habit of cleanliness, and is a very difficult person to deal with, so you must not be sloppy. Got it?"

"Hmm... I got the manager. Mo Ningran responded.

"Alright, then nothing else, you can go out. ”

"Yes. ”

Mo Ningran nodded emphatically, and then walked out of the manager's office.
