A foreign city, dear you

The person who came was the store manager Ye Lian was looking for.

The store manager felt the figure on the stairs, looked up, and immediately showed an unhappy look on his face.

Ye Lian pretended not to see it and greeted the store manager: "Store manager."

The store manager seemed to be climbing his stairs without his ears, then walking straight to his office without blinking.

Ye Lian followed behind like a shadow.

The store manager entered the office, but Ye Lian did not go in.

She had concerns, even though the store manager seemed to be a decent man.

She stood at the door.

Not long after, the owner of the pork shop came up.

The pork shop owner was a little fat, and his armpits were slightly open when he walked.

He glanced at Ye Lian, then sat down carelessly on the sofa against the wall, and complained: "Store manager, you should think of a trick. If this continues, you will be drinking from the northwest. In other shopping malls, you can do it in one day before. I’m selling a few pigs, but I can’t sell one here a day, do you still want me to live?”

The store manager smiled apologetically and handed the pork boss a cigarette: "In business, there are good times and bad times."

"If you bring people in, it's my own business if the business is not good." The pork boss said with resentment.

"Aren't you just thinking about it?" the store manager took a sip of water to hide his stress and embarrassment: "I'm thinking about closing a door and concentrating the flow of people into one door. Maybe it will become more popular..."

Ye Lian didn't want to listen to them, she just thought about when she could move out her things.

The pork boss and the store manager chatted for a while, then got up and left.

As he was leaving, he glanced at her again, and perhaps he was asking in his mind: Why does she keep standing here like a doorkeeper?

Although they both do business in the same shopping mall, Ye Lian and the pork boss have no intersection. In addition, Ye Lian is not sociable, so she hardly says hello to each other.

Ye Lian ignored the questioning look in the pork boss's eyes and still remained there.

The store manager took care of some other things.

Ye Lian was still standing at the door.

The store manager stood up and glanced at Ye Lian with a rare glance: "Are you tired of doing this every day?"

Ye Lian finally got the chance to speak, and quickly pleaded: "Store manager, just let me move my equipment out. Look, I won't ask you for the admission fee and deposit. The requirements for my equipment are very low."

"Why don't you understand?" The store manager was very impatient: "I can't set this precedent."

"Can't we set a precedent? Hasn't someone on the second floor already withdrawn the store?" Ye Lian asked carefully, fearing to offend the store manager.

"That's because he left without asking for anything. It doesn't mean that I agreed with him to withdraw. Then you can leave too. I didn't stop you." The store manager said angrily.

"Store manager, just do it. This equipment cost me all my belongings. I can't just say I don't want it." Ye Lian begged.

"Have you found another mall?" the store manager suddenly asked.

Ye Lian didn't know how to answer. She hesitated for a moment, then looked at the floor: "No, no, how can it be that easy? A friend wants to transfer my device."

Ye Lian lied guiltily.

She felt like she couldn't tell the truth or risk pissing him off.

This is like a man, he can accept his woman saying he is rotten or incompetent, but he will never accept his woman finding another man.

Of course it's not that serious, but it kind of means that.

The store manager looked at Ye Lian suspiciously, walked out of the office, and closed the door.

Ye Lian didn't know where he was going and followed him like a shadow.

The store manager went down to the first floor, stopped briefly in front of a few shelves, and then walked out of the mall.

Ye Lian followed out of the shopping mall and stopped helplessly at the cornice, watching the store manager's white shirt melt into the white sunshine outside.

Damn it, you left me again and dumped me again.

Speaking of which, the store manager looks pretty good. He is tall and wearing a white shirt and red tie. He is still a little handsome. But Ye Lian is a little bored looking at him and feels that he has been relying on the store manager. Her identity made things difficult for her.

The current situation is that the store manager is afraid of Ye Lian and avoids Ye Lian; Ye Lian resents the store manager, but looks forward to the store manager's appearance.

Ye Lian walked into the mall again, returned to the bakery, and waited for the store manager to come back to the mall again.

This wait lasted until six o'clock in the afternoon.

Ye Lian thought of Lanshan and felt guilty.

It's time for Lanshan to go home from school.

For several days in a row, she spent all her time in this shopping mall just for this shabby bakery, causing Lanshan to always eat leftovers and not have her mother at home to accompany her.

After waiting for a while, Ye Lian walked to the entrance of the shopping mall in boredom.

It's dusk outside, and I haven't seen the ghost store manager yet. I wonder if he will come back again?

Ye Lian walked around the mall and returned to the bakery.

She didn't know how many times she had walked around the mall, or how many times she had sat down and stood up in the bakery.

She kind of wanted to go home, and she didn't want to wait in vain.

Just as Ye Lian was thinking this, she heard the store manager's voice again.

The store manager is back in the mall again.

Now that the store manager is back, she won't go home for the time being. She still has to stick to her position.

Ye Lian came to the store manager again and briefly greeted her to express her presence.

The store manager still treated her as nothing and went straight to the second floor without paying any attention to her.

Ye Lian followed to the second floor, followed to the store manager's office, and then stood at the door again.

The store manager entered the office, put down a bag in his hand, drank a glass of water, and then walked towards Ye Lian with a tigerish face.

Ye Lian felt the oncoming anger.

The store manager glanced at Ye Lian with disdain, then slammed the office door.

The banging sound and the wind caused by the door leaf blowing against the door frame made Ye Lian feel embarrassed and humiliated, but it also aroused the stubbornness and anger in her heart.

close the door? Are you closing the door? I won’t leave even if you close the door! I'm making your heart beat day by day!

Ye Lian stayed at the door.

Time is really slow and long.

Ye Lian is hungry, her legs are sore, and her feet are numb...

She felt like she might stand like a statue.

She could have moved, but the store manager couldn't see her anyway.

But she didn't move, and she was still stubborn with herself.

I'm so stupid, I'm so stunned, I don't believe you won't come out, I don't believe you can still be like a cunning rabbit with three holes in the office.

Ye Lian looked at the time, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.

She thought about Lanshan again. She wondered if Lanshan had eaten or done his homework consciously?

Ye Lian heard the doorknob turning.

The door opened.

When the store manager saw Ye Lian still standing at the door, the expression on his face was both surprised and disgusted.

Ye Lian silently moved her feet and prepared to follow.

If she stood for too long, she would be afraid that she would be unable to move her legs.

The store manager closed the door and walked out.

Ye Lian followed again.

This time, she stepped on her feet loudly. She felt that there was a fire in her heart, roaring, driving away her timidity and cowardice.

The store manager may have sensed the different momentum behind him, turned his head, and said in an impatient voice: "Ms. Ye - do you think this is interesting?"

"Store manager, do you think I want to do this? Why is it so difficult for me to take my own things?" Ye Lian began to question.
