Chapter 47: Dreaming Of Becoming The Main Character
All the trash had to be transported to the garbage truck located at the southeast corner of the park and the truck did its rounds every three hours.
Song Ran made great strides just to save some money for her Team Leader Gu. This was definitely not easy for her. She had always led a pampered life. She never had to deal with such things before.
After walking around for about an hour, she was surprised to see that the visitors of the park were rather cultured as there was barely any visible trash on the ground.
Song Ran bore her discomfort and rummaged through the trash bins, only to realize that the bins were empty too.
She was extremely puzzled. Supervisor Li had told her that the two other uncles in charge of cleaning the parks were on leave that day, so what was going on?
She continued walking forward and looked into three bins. Every one of them was clean and empty.
Coincidentally, Supervisor Li passed by Song Ran on her bicycle as she rang the bell.
“Supervisor Li. Supervisor Li…” called Song Ran.
Supervisor Li stopped and got off her bicycle. She intentionally looked at her expressionlessly and said, “What’s wrong? Are you exhausted already? Looks like your love for your boyfriend isn’t that strong.”
Song Ran waved her hand and said, “No, I just think that the park is strangely clean.”
Supervisor Li glanced towards the river where Gu Jinghang was picking up the litter on the surface of the water. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, “It’s not that. One of our cleaners, Uncle Qian, was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to manage on your own so he insisted on coming to help. Look, he’s over there on the boat.”
Song Ran turned her head…
Gu Jinghang was standing in the small boat on the water. He was dressed discreetly and he also purposely bent down. Because he was too far away, even if Song Ran had discerning eyes, she would not have recognized that he was the Team Leader Gu who had been on her mind all day long.
Song Ran wiped off the sweat on her forehead and said, “Uncle Qian is such a kind person. Supervisor Li, could you please tell him not to work so hard and leave some work for me. If not, it would seem like I was talking big without taking any action. It makes me look pretentious. It’s not good.”
Supervisor Li glanced at her with a knowing look and said, “Alright, I’ll tell Uncle Qian about that.”
Song Ran carried on walking further joyfully while carrying the huge plastic bag.
Supervisor Li waited for her to walk far away before she waved at the person on the river. Gu Jinghang quickly used the bamboo pole to bring himself back onshore.
It was almost noontime and he was wrapped up tightly in his clothes. His sweat was dripping non-stop from his forehead.
Supervisor Li was screaming in her heart, I have committed such a grave sin. She had indeed made life difficult for the young couple and made them suffer.

“Your girlfriend wants you to leave some work for her to do.”
“Supervisor, you told her about me?” Gu Jinghang’s eyes read ‘huge disaster.’
The supervisor quickly waved her hand and said, “Nope, I didn’t say that. I told her that you are Uncle Qian.”
Gu Jinghang wiped off his sweat and laughed before he said, “Oh, okay. I’m fine. I have the strength to do it. Supervisor, just let her rest somewhere shady and cool.”
When he lifted his head, he saw Song Ran racing in his direction through the forested path. Gu Jinghang’s heart sank and he thought something bad was going to happen.
Gu Jinghang did not have time to hide so he quickly turned around. He intentionally bent down, hoping that Song Ran would not realize that it was him.
Song Ran rushed over with her face red and her eyes shimmering. She stopped before Supervisor Li and raised her hand. In her hand was a new ten-dollar note.
“Supervisor, I found money. I found money. Quickly, look for its owner through the broadcasting system. Hahaha. My Jinghang is such a lucky charm.”
Her tone was extremely lively.
