The ups and downs of the urban jungle

Sun Jian worked hard all night and successfully produced a first draft. While Yu Huilan and Gu Pan were studying and discussing, Sun Jian had a solid night's sleep. But after careful reading and discussion by Yu Huilan and Gu Pan, the first draft will definitely need to be completely revised. While Sun Jian was resting, Yu Huilan and Gu Pan couldn't bear to disturb him, but Sun Jian kept things in mind and fell into a daze until the afternoon when he got up on his own. Sure enough, the overall framework of the material and the main points are absolutely beautiful, but the specific modifications still require a lot of work. Gu Pan took advantage of Sun Jian's tenure to summarize all the opinions discussed between her and Yu Huilan into words. This would make it much easier for Sun Jian to make changes.

Seeing that the work was almost done, Yu Huilan and Gu Pan insisted on cooking a serious meal for the last supper. It doesn't matter whether it tastes good or not. They both expressed their sincere gratitude and respect from the bottom of their hearts.

Sun Jian finally completed the task successfully within the specified time and felt particularly comfortable. A bottle of precious red wine was specially brought out for dinner to celebrate. However, Gu Pan could only watch with salivation. No matter how late it was today, she had to drive Sun Jian back to town. Otherwise, it would be meaningless to go through such a long trip.

During the entire dinner, everyone still focused on this material. Yu Huilan and Gu Pan couldn't help but beam with compliments about the wonderful content, and they didn't shy away from each other's regrets. Yu Huilan mostly tried to be objective, but Gu Pan was not polite at all and tried his best to attack and ridicule. Fortunately, Sun Jian was already used to Gu Pan's acrimony, so at worst he could retaliate in equal measure or just laugh it off.

The meal took a long time, and a bottle of red wine was completely consumed by Sun Jian and Yu Huilan. When Gu Pan saw that it was getting late, he hurriedly prepared to send Sun Jian back. Unexpectedly, Yu Huilan asked her to take care of the dishes and clean up. She still had something to talk to Sun Jian about.

Although Gu Pan was unhappy, he was helpless.

After Gu Pan cleaned up the house, Yu Huilan called Sun Jian to the room where he worked. Sun Jian didn't know what Yu Huilan wanted to talk to him about, but he was still very uneasy and his expression looked awkward.

Yu Huilan poured a glass of water for herself and Sun Jian, and casually pulled up a stool to sit down. She kept looking at the water glass and said with great difficulty:"Sun Jian! There is something that may be important to you. I originally wanted to wait. I have been telling you for a while, but this matter has been pressing in my heart and it is really uncomfortable. I just have the opportunity today. I just hope that you——"

"Secretary Yu! Don't worry about me. Although I haven't graduated very long, I have experienced a lot of ups and downs. Just say, I'm fine."

Yu Huilan then raised her head and turned around, looking at Sun Jian with a stern expression:"Okay then! I won't beat around the bush. When you come here, there are actually no formal procedures and no formal status. People outside think that you came from the provincial capital to train and be gold-plated, but you may also know that this is just a cover to hide your eyes from others."

"Secretary Yu! Of course I thought of this too. It's just that I haven't dared to face it, I don't want to admit it, and I don't have the courage to ask anyone about it, so I can only deceive myself and others and numb myself."

"But things might be more serious than you think"

"more serious?"

"Yes! Sun

Jian didn't dare to look at Yu Huilan anymore. He stood up and silently started packing his things. Yu Huilan also came up to pack for him:"I'm sorry!""

"You already knew that, right? You were all in the same group from beginning to end, colluding together just to punish and torture a bullshit idiot like me? With your power and energy, do you have to go through so much trouble and do such big tricks to deal with a little Luoluo like me? Wouldn't it be better to beat him down with a stick to relieve his hatred?"

"Can you calm down a little and let me explain to you?"

"Secretary Yu! I'm calm now and don't need to explain anymore. I know that I am actually nothing now. I have no job at all and no employer. I am just an unemployed vagrant and an unemployed young man. I came here to beg for rice. Thank you for your kindness in taking me in for so long and giving me a morsel of food."

Sun Jian quickly packed up his simple belongings, opened the door and rushed out. As soon as he went out, he bumped into Gu Pan and staggered. Gu Pan did not get angry at him, but quietly retreated to the door and used his body to block door handle

"Sun Jian! I wonder what happened to you? But I believe in my sister, she is definitely not the kind of person you think. Moreover, she trusts you now and needs you very much. Sun

Jian showed a sharp and fierce gaze, staring at Gu Pan, and then laughed at himself in frustration:"Unfortunately, these are meaningless to me now." After all, I am an unemployed young man, a jobless vagabond. Why should I come to this rural corner to suffer? I'll get out tomorrow. I still have my relatives there. I need them and they need me."

"Then we need it very much now, you know? You are a grown man, you can't act like a jerk at critical moments. I just advised my sister not to be too trusting in you, but she just didn't listen. Do you know that if you make a little noise now, she may be killed? Think about it with your conscience, would my sister harm you intentionally? Sun

Jian suddenly squatted down in frustration, covering his face and choking:"Since you all know this, why do you hide it from me and tease me like this?" Are you happy to tease a good-for-nothing little carrot like me like this? Is it a sense of accomplishment? Wouldn't it be more valuable for you to spend your efforts elsewhere?"

Yu Huilan then slowly walked to Sun Jian and stretched out her hand to pull him up:"Sun Jian! Listen up, we're not that boring. So far, I am the only one who knows about you. Panpan doesn’t know anything, and no one in the town knows either."

"Then can you tell me, since you have known it for a long time, why did you tell me now? Since you know everything, why are you still pretending to pick me up? If it’s serious, then I’ll be the gunman?"

"Sun Jian! I'm warning you, if you continue to be so unreasonable and talk nonsense, I will stab you with a knife now."

"OK! I don't care, I'm going to die!"

"Sun Jian! Look at me, you are no longer a child, I hope you don't act like a child. You sit down first and listen to what I have to say. Then you decide whether to leave or stay. I will never stop you."

Sun Jian also raised his head and looked at Yu Huilan calmly for a long time. Finally he calmed down and lowered his head silently.
