Returning to her small apartment, it took Mo Ran two full days to clean up the place. She checked her bankbook and saw that there were still twenty thousand yuan left; if she lived frugally, that should last her more than a year.
As soon as the baby was born, she would borrow some money from her sister and then find a job.
Thinking about her future life filled Mo Ran with fighting spirit. She was thankful that she had decided to keep the baby. From now on, her life would revolve around her child, and she would keep struggling for the sake of her baby!
After mapping out her future life, Mo Ran’s heart swelled with anticipation for the future, and she found life to be much more meaningful.
In the few days since her return, she had talked to Mo Yan on the phone, stayed inside, and lived a reclusive, solitary life.
Later on, she realized she could still look for a job, so she began searching for employment opportunities.
Teaching dance was definitely out of the question, working as a KFC store clerk was not an option, and being a supermarket cashier was too tiring. Working as a sales clerk in a clothing store, however, seemed quite nice.
The salary might be low, but it wouldn’t be too exhausting, and it wouldn’t harm the baby. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Mo Ran made a list of a few stores to apply to for interviews.
The next day, she dressed smartly and left the house full of confidence. But unexpectedly, she faced one setback after another.
Selling clothes in a store wasn’t something just anyone could do. She had no experience in this field, didn’t know many brands, wasn’t familiar with the qualities of the garments, and didn’t know how to introduce products to customers.
Store owners preferred to hire experienced workers, so naturally, they didn’t consider her a top candidate and told her to wait for a phone call.
Mo Ran knew that call would never come, but she waited all the same. Day after day, she faced only disappointment.
But she wasn’t defeated. She planned to look for other jobs; after all, there had to be a job out there suitable for her.
After interviewing at one place after another, Mo Ran didn’t succeed. She really was out of luck.
Walking dejectedly down the street, she didn’t notice that a black sedan was slowly trailing her from a distance.
Watching her tired and defeated figure, a twinge of heartache flashed through Gu Yixuan’s eyes. He had been keeping track of Mo Ran’s life these past few days.
He knew she had moved back to her old apartment and that she was job hunting. Each time, he wanted to rush out, take her by hand, and say to her, "Stop looking, I’ll take care of you!"
But he knew that Mo Ran didn’t want to hear those words, nor did she want to see him.
So he could only hold back, watch to see what job she might find, and then help her secretly.
