Chapter 255 - 251: Control and the Unknown
By July, Qin Guanglin had officially been promoted to director.
Chen Rui’s office had already been cleared out, and together they moved the documents and tools onto the desk, then closed the door and chatted for a while.
At the end, Chen Rui patted him on the shoulder, earnestly saying, "Hang in there; for the next while, it’s all in your hands."
"Don’t worry, I’ve got this."
Qin Guanglin nodded, watching Chen Rui turn and leave, closing the door behind him. Alone, he sat behind his desk, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long sigh, turning his head to look out the window.
The eighth floor was neither high nor low, offering a broad view with no particularly tall buildings in the way. One could overlook most of the commercial district, where people of all shapes and colors went back and forth in the streets and the flow of cars weaved through the distant highway – so near yet so far.
It was in this office that he had his interview, and now, over a year later, he had replaced Chen Rui in this seat.
Sun Wen, who had brought him to the interview, had already left the industry.
How unpredictable life can be.
Qin Guanglin picked up his phone to check the group chat. The conversation had stopped last week with Xiao Yu showing off the big fish he’d caught, while Sun Wen declared it the peak of his life, insisting on taking several pictures to keep.
During casual chat in the group, Sun Wen revealed that he was working as a fitness instructor at a gym. Xiao Yu asked if he had given up on painting, to which Sun Wen replied, "Paint my ass; sweating for a whole month doesn’t earn as much as selling two gym classes."
