Chapter 273: Impatience
Shen Guojun was silent for a while, he was thinking about how to speak, and Shen Nianlan was waiting beside him.
Finally, Shen Guojun spoke: "Nianlan, you're not too young, aren't you going to find a boyfriend?"
Shen Nianlan was silent, she didn't know how to answer. To be honest, Shen Nianlan still doesn't have much heart for finding a boyfriend.
Because of her father's indifference, Shen Nianlan did not have any vision for men. Although her father loved her mother, her father did not love her.
There have been many men who have pursued Shen Nianlan, all kinds of them. But Shen Nianlan just doesn't like men very much, although Shen Nianlan knows that not all men want to be as indifferent as their father.
However, the shadow brought to her by her father's indifference since she was a child has penetrated deep into her bone marrow and lingers at all.
Seeing that Shen Nianlan didn't answer for a long time, Shen Guojun was a little impatient, and then his tone of voice was also quite impatient: "Speak, you should find a boyfriend." ”
When Shen Guojun said this, it was a bit too much to say if he didn't answer, so Shen Nianlan replied: "I'm still young, and I haven't met a suitable one yet." ”
"What do you mean by appropriateness," Shen Guojun couldn't help but be a little angry when he heard Shen Nianlan's obviously perfunctory words, "What do you want to look like? Twenty-three years old are still young? I had you when I was twenty-three years old!"
"But I can't touch what I like, and I can't help it. Shen Nianlan replied.
After all, he has been in the shopping mall for many years, and he knows how to control his emotions, although he is angry in his heart, Shen Guojun is still very calm on the surface. He said to Shen Nianlan: "It's almost enough, instead of finding one you like, it's better to find one that likes you." You also know that the kid of the Li family has always been interesting to you. After all these years, he still misses you, and I think that kid is good. It's excellent in all aspects, and although the family conditions are not as good as our Shen family, they are pretty good......"
Before Shen Guojun could finish speaking, Shen Nianlan interrupted: "I won't call him......"
When Shen Guojun saw that Shen Nianlan had interrupted his words, he finally couldn't suppress his anger and exploded in an instant. He yelled at Shen Nianlan: "Okay, don't say it, I don't care if you call or not, I'll call him over for dinner tonight, and then the two of you will communicate more and exchange feelings, and you will call after a long time." ”
Shen Nianlan was just about to open her mouth to refute, but Shen Guojun saw that her daughter wanted to speak, and she could guess what she was going to say without saying anything, so he hurriedly interrupted: "It's decided, dress up well at night, I have to go out in advance, and I will come back in the evening." ”
After speaking, Shen Guojun left on his own, leaving Shen Nianlan alone in a daze.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's night. When Shen Nianlan went to the restaurant, she saw that the Li family boy was also sitting there. Shen Nianlan originally thought that her father had forgotten about this matter.
Because Shen Guojun was busy all afternoon, Shen Nianlan thought that his father said that he invited the Li family boy just to talk, but he didn't expect him to really invite him!
After all, Shen Guojun rarely cared about Shen Nianlan, even if he promised Shen Nianlan, he would forget it when he turned his head.
For example, when Shen Nianlan was fifteen years old, Shen Guojun was going to Europe to discuss business, and Shen Nianlan asked Shen Guojun to help her bring a limited-edition bag with a famous brand. Shen Nianlan has always liked that bag, but that style is not sold in the mainland, and even Hong Kong and Taiwan rarely have it.
After all, it is a limited edition, and there are not many in the world, so only the European headquarters will have it. If you want to get that bag, you have to go to the European headquarters and buy it.
And those who can afford that bag can naturally afford to go to Europe. It's a pity that Shen Nianlan has to go to school, even if it is winter and summer vacation, she has to participate in various training classes and study classes. There is simply no time to go to Europe.
So this time, when Shen Guojun went to Europe to discuss business, Shen Nianlan asked her father to help her buy the bag.
Although Shen Guojun agreed, he only cared about business when he went to Europe, and he forgot about it at all. When I returned to China, I suddenly remembered when I saw Shen Nianlan's expectant eyes.
But Shen Guojun has never cared much about Shen Nianlan, so he forgot it. He didn't even bother to explain to Shen Nianlan.
Shen Nianlan, who was fifteen years old at the time, timidly asked Shen Guojun: "Where is my bag?"
Shen Guojun said lightly: "I forgot to bring it." After finishing speaking, he threw down Shen Nianlan and went to the study. Shen Nianlan knew that her father didn't care about her, but she never thought that he didn't care like this. Shopping malls are originally about promises, and it is difficult to make a difference without integrity.
As an entrepreneur with a little achievement, Shen Guojun will not feel guilty at all for his dishonesty towards his daughter. What does this mean? This shows that she, Shen Nianlan, the dignified Shen Guojun's biological daughter, is not even as important as one of his Shen Guojun's employees.
Because Shen Nianlan had heard her father call her employees to apologize because of her dishonesty, and she couldn't even get a word of apology!
But now, Shen Guojun has done what he said, how much he wants to marry her. This is how much I want to get her out of this home. As the saying goes, when a married daughter spills water, is his father in such a hurry to spill himself?
After Shen Nianlan saw the Li family boy, she originally wanted to turn around and leave, but she was seen by Shen Guojun, and he stopped his daughter: "Nianlan, come over for dinner, where are you going, come here." ”
Shen Nianlan had no choice but to walk to the table and sit down in a seat far away from the Li family. When Shen Guojun saw it, he couldn't help frowning: "What are you doing sitting so far away, come here, sit here." ”
The position that Shen Guojun pointed to was right next to the Li family boy, and his intention couldn't be more obvious. Although Shen Nianlan didn't have much affection, she still sat down.
Shen Guojun and Shen Nianlan had very little time to eat together, and even if they ate together, they would eat their own very quietly and would not make a sound at all. But this time, Shen Guojun spoke out uncharacteristically: "Xiao Li, how is the food, are you still used to eating?"
After hearing the question, the boy of the Li family immediately put down the tableware in his hand and replied, "It tastes very good, thank you Uncle Shen." ”
"You're welcome, I heard you don't have a girlfriend yet, don't you. Shen Guojun continued to ask.
The Li boy replied, "Yes, I don't have a girlfriend yet. After saying this, he also glanced at Shen Nianlan beside him.
Shen Nianlan couldn't help but roll her eyes, and said in her stomach: "What do you see me doing, what does it matter to me if I don't have a girlfriend?"
And these actions of the Li family kid naturally couldn't escape Shen Guojun's eyes, Shen Guojun suddenly laughed and asked, "Then what do you think, how about Nianlan?"
When the Li family kid listened to Shen Guojun's words, his eyes suddenly widened in surprise, and a fool could hear what Shen Guojun meant. But then, the boy of the Li family became happy, and replied busily: "Don't tell my uncle, in fact, I have long been interested in Nianlan." ”
Shen Guojun's laughter was even more hearty: "It's better this way, it just so happens that Nianlan doesn't have a boyfriend, why don't I call the shots, how about getting the two of you engaged?"
Shen Nianlan was so shocked when she heard this sentence that the tableware fell to the ground, and the Li family kid was naturally happy, but he didn't want to behave too much, so he replied: "Then it depends on whether Nianlan is willing or not, I definitely can't ask for it." ”
"If you want, this matter is decided, and we will hold an engagement ceremony for you next month, and we will get married next year." Shen Guojun decided on Shen Nianlan's marriage in this way, and he didn't even ask Shen Nianlan's own opinion. Completely regarded Shen Nianlan as air, Shen Guojun knew his daughter and knew that if he asked her, he would definitely be rejected, so he simply didn't even ask.
And Shen Nianlan naturally won't sit still, and her father didn't even ask herself about such a big thing as being engaged. It's really a bit too much to say for myself.
"I disagree. Shen Nianlan put down the tableware in her hand, stood up, and yelled at Shen Guojun.
"It's up to you, the Li family kid is very good in all aspects, and the person is not bad, so it's decided. Shen Guojun didn't take Shen Nianlan's opposition seriously at all.
But Shen Nianlan was a little anxious, after all, this was a major event in her life, how could she be so hastily decided. Shen Nianlan doesn't care about other things, her father has made a decision, and Shen Nianlan will never give in to this matter.
"This is my life's work, how can I not help it? I say that if I don't want to, I don't want to, don't force me. Shen Nianlan's tone was quite unkind.
And Shen Guojun's fire also came up, Shen Nianlan had never spoken to him like this, never. Such a tone is simply a big rebellion!
Shen Guojun also stood up, and suddenly waved all the food in front of him and the tableware off the table. "What if I just forced you?
Shen Nianlan also didn't give an inch, pressing step by step: "I don't order, since this family can't accommodate me, then I'll go." After finishing speaking, Shen Nianlan slammed the door and walked out.
The kid of the Li family didn't even dare to come out, and Shen Guojun pointed to Shen Nianlan's back, trembling with anger: "Okay, you go, you leave today, don't come back in the future, I, Shen Guojun, will never have you as a daughter from now on!"
Due to being too emotional, Shen Guojun had a heart attack, but fortunately, Shen Guojun kept the medicine in his jacket pocket. But he didn't have the strength to take the medicine himself, so he asked the Li family boy to help him get the medicine. The boy of the Li family was blinded by this sudden change, and when he saw Shen Guojun like this, he immediately hurriedly took medicine and poured water for Shen Guojun.
After taking the medicine, Shen Guojun's condition gradually stabilized.
Shen Guojun's heart attack was finally suppressed by the drug, and seeing that the Li family kid was still not gone, he comforted: "Nianlan is like this, don't worry, she will come back sooner or later." When she comes back, let the two of you get engaged, son-in-law of the Shen family, you are decided. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Shen. The Li family kid never left, waiting for Shen Guojun's words. He didn't know if Shen Guojun had engaged Shen Nianlan just now, Shen Guojun naturally knew the thoughts of the Li family's boy, so he gave him a reassurance.
After getting this reassurance, the Li family kid was relieved. There is no need to stay in the Shen family any longer, after all, Shen Nianlan has already gone out. And he Shen Guojun really didn't have anything to say, so he said to Shen Guojun: "In this case, Uncle Shen, you cultivate well first, I won't bother you, and I'll come to see you in a few days." ”
Shen Guojun was naturally happy to be quiet, so he nodded in agreement.
After Shen Nianlan left home, she couldn't think of where to go.
Shen Nianlan's family lives in the villa area, which is a famous rich residential area, and there is no bus at all, not even a taxi. So Shen Nianlan had to walk.
The villa area is quite large, and Shen Nianlan walked for more than two hours before she walked out. When she walked out, Shen Nianlan's legs were sore. But standing on the road outside the deserted villa area, Shen Nianlan was worried again.
Taxis rarely come to this area because every household in the area has a private car, and no one takes a taxi at all.
Shen Nianlan originally wanted to ask a friend for help, but after careful consideration, she gave up this idea. Due to her identity, Shen Nianlan has almost no friends in City A. Even if there is, it is the kind of superficial interest friend, and there is no deep friendship at all. Moreover, most of the parents of Shen Nianlan's friends have a cooperative relationship with Shen Guojun, and if they come to help, Shen Guojun can easily know her whereabouts.
So Shen Nianlan continued to walk out, and at this time, it was completely dark. Shen Nianlan didn't eat much dinner, although it was early summer, the temperature was quite high. But at night it gets cooler.
Now Shen Nianlan was tired and hungry, and she insisted on walking for a while, and finally walked to an urban area. For the sake of quiet environment and fresh air, villas are generally built in the suburbs.
When she arrived in the city, Shen Nianlan found a restaurant, ordered something casually and devoured it, after she was full of wine and food, Shen Nianlan wanted to swipe the card, but the store was too small, and there was no credit card machine at all.
And Shen Nianlan didn't have a dime on her body except for this card. So Shen Nianlan had to go to the ATM machine to withdraw money accompanied by a buddy under the mocking gaze of the restaurant owner.
Fortunately, it was already past dinner time, and there were not many people dining in the restaurant.
After Shen Nianlan took the money and paid the bill, she wandered aimlessly on the street alone, it was already late at night, and there were very few pedestrians on the street.
Shen Nianlan was walking and planning her future, she planned to leave City A first and start a new life. Because with Shen Guojun's wrist, if he is in City A, he will be found in a short time.
But Shen Nianlan didn't know where to go, and she was in a hurry to go out, and the money in the card she brought out was not much. So she came up with a way, now go to the train station, have a train ticket to go anywhere, choose the cheapest one, and go there.
Thinking of this, Shen Nianlan immediately reached out and stopped a taxi and went to the train station in City A.
Despite the fact that it was late at night, there were still a lot of people in the train station, including homeless homeless people resting in the passenger waiting area of the train station, and passengers waiting for the late train.
Shen Nianlan went to the ticket window of the train ticket, but fortunately, the train station sells tickets 24 hours a day. Shen Nianlan inquired and knew that there would be four buses at night, and the cheapest was the bus to City B, which was not far from City A, and the tickets were naturally not very expensive.
So Shen Nianlan bought a train ticket to City B, and the train would not come until an hour later, so Shen Nianlan had to sit in the waiting area and wait.
An hour later, the train arrived as scheduled, and Shen Nianlan stepped on the train and started a new life.
Imagination is often beautiful, while reality is often cruel. In the first month of arriving in City B, she rented a house, and after paying three months' rent and a month's deposit, Shen Nianlan had no money, and even eating became a problem.
I had no choice but to look for a job.
It's always hard to find a job, and it's the same in every city, and City B is certainly no exception.
Shen Nianlan originally had a lot of skills, and her education was not low, but due to the hurry of coming out, she didn't bring her academic certificate or anything, you said that you have a high degree of education, and you can do anything. But who will believe you without a certificate, and most companies need academic certificates to go through the entry procedures.
There was really no way, Shen Nianlan had to choose the profession with the lowest threshold, sales. Some people say that everyone can do sales, but not everyone can do it well.
Sales have always relied on performance, so the basic salary is relatively low, and most of the salary sources for sales come from commissions.
But Shen Nianlan had nowhere to go, after interviewing for sales positions in many companies, a company hired her on the spot because she was in a hurry to hire people, and asked her to come to work tomorrow.
Although the basic salary is meager, it is better than nothing. Shen Nianlan happily returned to the rental house.
The next morning, Shen Nianlan got up early, freshened up and went straight to the company. Since it was the first day of work, Shen Nianlan was quite positive and came to the company early, and there was no one in the company.
And the director of the company has not yet come, because there is no fixed position, Shen Nianlan had to find a random position to sit down.
"Hey, you're new here, this seat is mine, but it's okay, you can sit first. I still have to go out to buy breakfast, you don't know this company, you have to go to the company ten minutes in advance to clock in, otherwise it will be late. When Shen Nianlan was drowsy, she suddenly heard a voice in her ears, the sound was extremely crisp, and it made people feel very comfortable to listen to.
Shen Nianlan raised her head, and saw that the owner of the voice had a very cute face, and the flush on her face had not subsided because of the exercise. Maybe it's because I'm going to be late, so I'm in a hurry.
Shen Nianlan had a good impression of this girl, so she also showed a smile, then stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I took your place, I'm new, my name is Shen Nianlan." After Shen Nianlan finished speaking, she stretched out her hand, and the girl also stretched out her hand and held Shen Nianlan's palm: "Hello, my name is Yang Xiaoxiao, I have been in this company for more than a year, if there is anything I don't understand in the future, you can ask me, hehe." But I have to go down to buy breakfast now, and if I don't go down, I can't go down, so I'm leaving. ”
After the girl finished speaking, she went out in a hurry.
It didn't take long for the director to arrive. Shen Nianlan knew this supervisor, because it was this supervisor who interviewed her at that time. And this company is a well-known clothing brand ** store, because it is the headquarters, so the space is larger, so the company is equipped with a workstation for each employee, including clothing sales guide.
And when it comes to the branch, I'm afraid there will not be such a good treatment. The sales of this company is to try the work for a week first, and if the trial work is not passed, there is no salary. If it passes, there will be a salary for the week.
This is quite demanding in the entire industry, and most stores only require a three-day trial operation. But due to the large brand, the profit is high. The commission for the company's employees is also very generous, and Shen Nianlan chose this company for this reason.
The employees in the trial period do not have workstations, the management of this company is still more humane, if the store is not busy, the clerks can take turns to rest. However, most store employees are not willing to take a break, because if they rest, they will sell less goods, and correspondingly, the commission will be less.
However, the employees during the trial period did not have a break, and even did not have a commission.
After the supervisor briefly told Shen Nianlan about the company's salary standards, benefits and rules and regulations, he brought Shen Nianlan to the store, which was downstairs. The staff rest and administrative office area is located on the top floor, and the rest is all clothing sales area.
Then the director called a person and said that he would let the person take Shen Nianlan, and the person looked reluctant, but he didn't say anything. After all, it is the leader's order, even if you are unwilling, it is not easy to disobey.
Bringing a newcomer is actually a very troublesome thing, to tell the newcomer what work to usually do, and some things that need to be paid attention to.
And although this clothing brand has a popular style, but the penultimate layer is the most expensive series of this brand, there are not many customers, but there are several shopping guides are staring at customers, and they hurriedly rushed to receive them.
But if you bring a newcomer, you will naturally have no time to take care of customers.
After the director left, the person who took Shen Nianlan was obviously absent-minded, and when he was halfway through the lecture to Shen Nianlan, a customer suddenly came up, so Shen Nianlan was immediately put aside.
This made Shen Nianlan somewhat helpless, but she was helpless.
"Shen Nianlan, you are here, why are you here alone. Shouldn't someone bring someone with you when the newcomer comes, what about the person who brings you?" Yang Xiaoxiao walked down from the upstairs and saw Shen Nianlan next to the staircase at a glance.
Now the store has just opened, there are not many pedestrians on the street, and it is not a holiday, so it is relatively quiet. So Yang Xiaoxiao stayed upstairs for breakfast, and after eating, she did it for a while before going downstairs, but she didn't expect to meet Shen Nianlan when she got downstairs.
