The next day Sun Chan received a letter, and upon seeing the contents, her face flushed red and her heart raced. It felt as if everything around her ceased to exist! Gu Junming was confessing his love to her! He said he would submit a love report and marry her in the future!
Sun Chan felt happiness had come too suddenly, and she was a bit overwhelmed, tears started rolling down.
If in this lifetime she could truly be with someone she loves, it would be worth it! But then she thought about her own situation... Her heart started to become immensely chaotic.
Yang Liu saw her absent-minded and chuckled, "What’s wrong with you?"
"If your friend had far inferior conditions compared to you, what would you do? He has really good conditions," Sun Chan hesitated and asked.
"It’s simple, you improve yourself, don’t you?" she laughed.
Sun Chan thought about it and seriously nodded. She couldn’t change her background, so she had to make efforts in other areas to be worthy of Gu Junming.
She hadn’t even thought about how to reply to Gu Junming yet, and Han Dong had arrived.
This time, he came wearing a suit, his hair slicked back in the trendiest city style. Seeing him, Sun Chan couldn’t help but laugh. Han Dong laughed and said, "Don’t mock me! I’m about to become a boss now; I must dress a bit more maturely."
"Become a boss? You’re quitting?"
"I was never destined to work in an office!" Han Dong said with a grin, "I think it’s too boring, so I resigned. I got some seed money from my parents and want to try selling some fruits from the south."
Sun Chan was surprised, not expecting him to make such a bold move! The fruit business was tough at that time, but if he really succeeded, it could be quite profitable.
Han Dong asked Sun Chan to treat him to a meal, and ate four or five large buns.
Sun Chan spat, "You’re here to freeload?"
"I’ve got money; I’ll reimburse you," Han Dong gobbled his food while glancing around, "Where’s that woman who hurt you last time?"
"She left long ago." Sun Chan sipped her porridge slowly, "The fruit business has a lot of risks. What if the quality is poor or it goes bad?"
Han Dong said, "My parents say the same thing. I also said I wouldn’t invest heavily; the only bit of seed money is borrowed from my mother! I’ll pay it back, don’t worry. I’ll run it carefully."
Sun Chan felt that although he usually acted carelessly, he actually seemed quite reliable when talking about business.
Even though things had soured between Han Dong and Lin Hongmei, Lin Hongmei often visited the arcade Han Dong used to frequent, so she knew a bit about Sun Chan’s friends.
"Wang Dan and her husband are doing well, but it’s said she’s quitting her job."
"She’s quitting?"
"Yes, she said selling scarves her whole life is pointless. She’s using the dowry money and some funds from her family to sell clothes, but Lin Hongmei still looks down on her, saying she’s foolish for giving up a stable job. But I think Wang Dan is smart."
Sun Chan nodded with a smile. He was right; Wang Dan was indeed smart. Most of that generation of entrepreneurs in the late 80s became successful, while that store wouldn’t last for a few years before bankruptcy. Those employees in their forties would be laid off without any skills, finding it hard to get work.
In her past life, she heard Wang Dan did business in town, but she never saw her in the village and didn’t know what happened later.
After lunch, Han Dong hurried off, saying he wanted to buy a batch of oranges, "Oranges taste good at this time and are cheap. I’ll get you a crate, eat and share it if you can’t finish it."
Sun Chan laughed and said, "It’s nice knowing you, always having fruits to eat."
