Gao Yulan thought about it and got up to pack.

 

The next day, after eating breakfast, Gao Yulan received a call for a job interview. She rushed back to City A to prepare for it. In the end, Papa and Mama Gao reluctantly bid her farewell. She didn’t see that after she’d left, Papa and Mama Gao were in tears and encouraging each other. “The next time our daughter comes back, we’ll have another chance!”

 

Gao Yulan returned back to City A, and decided to carry out some employment exercises. She skipped lunch to go online and finish her résumé.

 

She opened her mailbox and was surprised to find a letter from Wen Sha. There wasn’t any nonsense. It introduced companies’ background, strengths, position, and wage to her. Although they weren’t as good as the Hengyuan group, they were alright. There were phone numbers to contact them to meet. As long as Gao Yulan contacted them, work wouldn’t be a problem.

 

But after reading them, Gao Yulan decisively deleted the mail. She couldn’t just show weakness to the enemy now.

 

Gao Yulan sent a number of applications on the internet and, after finishing, couldn’t help but look towards her computer in a daze. She suddenly felt alone. She was in City A to work and most of her friends had also been colleagues—now she couldn’t even talk to them. In a way, she had really failed.

 

Gao Yulan spent a long time in a daze before finally feeling hungry. She looked at the clock for a moment and took her purse and keys to go buy food.

 

There wasn’t anything delicious in Gao Yulan’s neighborhood, so she had to go to another street. Turning a street corner, she saw the place where she’d been intoxicated and stolen Mantou. She couldn’t help but twitch her lips over the stupid thing she had done.

 

But now that we’re on the topic, the bar was very close to her home. She had stolen the dog and gotten into a taxi. The driver must have cheated her.

 

Walking down the street, there was a fast food shop ahead. It was pretty good and Gao Yulan was a frequent visitor. Before she entered the building, she saw a five-year-old girl. She was very beautiful, like a doll. She wore pretty clothes, and had small curls in her hair with a pretty headband. She seemed very neat and tidy. Her family must be pretty good. Gao Yulan looked around. ‘There aren’t any adults around,’ she thought as she walked into the fast food restaurant.

 

Maybe the little doll was waiting for her parents. Maybe her parents were shopping in the vicinity.

 

The fast food business was really good—even at this hour, there were still people lining up. Gao Yulan stood in line and looked across at the girl. The girl opposite of the McDonald’s suddenly looked into Gao Yulan’s eyes. She and Gao Yulan shared a gaze for a few seconds before the girl revealed a timid, loveable smile.
