It was a call from Ke Ran. Ke Ran told Su Qianxun that she would be getting discharged today and asked Su Qianxun if she was free to pick her up.
It so happened that Su Qianxun did not have any filming scheduled for today, so she said yes. Since she had not seen Gu Mian for quite a few days, she gave Gu Mian a call and asked Gu Mian to meet her at the hospital.
Ke Ran was still feeling very down.
She was raped by a bunch of hooligans, and even though she was fortunate enough not to contract AIDS, she contracted another sexually transmitted disease.
Even though she was already cured, the doctor said that this kind of diseases cannot be completely eradicated. It might recur any time, and there was a one hundred percent chance that her future s*x partner would contract this disease.
After Su Qianxun and Gu Mian arrived, both of them acted very naturally. They did not ask her about her health and merely helped her carry her stuff as they left the hospital.
It would be Chinese New Year in half a month, and their university would be having holidays soon. Su Qianxun looked at Ke Ran and asked, “The holidays are almost here. When will you be heading back to your hometown?”
“I… I don’t plan to go home,” Ke Ran said.
“You’re not going home? So, you won’t be spending Chinese New Year at home?” Gu Mian seemed a little surprised. After all, Chinese New Year was a time of reunion, and everyone would usually head back to their hometowns to celebrate Chinese New Year no matter what happened.
“I’m not in a good mood nowadays, and I’m worried that my family members would realize that something is wrong. I’ve already told them that I’ve found a job here.”
“Oh, I see. That’s a good idea too.”
“Qianxun, I haven’t actually found a job. Since your boyfriend is such a powerful man, can you ask him to help me with finding a part-time job?”
Su Qianxun froze for a moment. It was not difficult for students in the performing arts to find jobs in the advertising and film industry.
“Are there vacancies for secretaries or something in your boyfriend’s company?”
“About this…”
“Ke Ran, don’t even think about it. Long Corporation is a huge company, and even their secretaries need to be a Yale or Harvard graduate.”
Gu Mian knew that Su Qianxun was bad at saying no, so she did it for her.
Ke Ran’s expression turned a little dark. She asked, “Do you guys need a maid or something, then? You can hire me as a maid.”
Su Qianxun was speechless.
“Powerful families usually only hire people whose family members have been working for them for generations. Aren’t you making things difficult for Qianxun?”
“Forget about it, then. I know that with my condition now, I won’t be the right fit for any job anyway. I don’t want to make things difficult for you guys.” Ke Ran’s tone changed, and she turned away from her two friends.
Su Qianxun and Gu Mian looked at each other. Both of them did not really know what to do.
They sent Ke Ran back to campus. When Su Qianxun saw that Ke Ran was really down, she said, “Ke Ran, I’ll ask my boyfriend about getting you a job when I get home. But I can’t make any promises.”
“Really? Thank you very much, then. Qianxun, after… after what happened, I don’t feel like starring in movies right now. I just want to find a low-profile job and live a quiet life. I’m sorry to trouble you.” When Ke Ran saw that Su Qianxun had agreed to her request, her mood became better.
“Have a good rest, then.”
After Su Qianxun and Gu Mian left campus, Gu Mian asked, “Are you really going to ask Long Sijue about it?”
“I’ll give it a try.” Su Qianxun truly pitied Ke Ran. Ke Ran was sincerely nice to Bai Weimi, but Bai Weimi ended up pushing her into a pit.
“I really don’t know what to say about you… You have never even asked Long Sijue for anything you want, have you?” Gu Mian held her arm.
“I… don’t want to create trouble for him.” Su Qianxun felt a little bad at the thought of Long Sijue.
On her way home, Su Qianxun could not wait any longer and gave Long Sijue a call. It was like she had found an excuse to call him.
“Is anything the matter?” Long Sijue’ sounded a little indifferent, though.
