The best news Ding Ruola had heard recently was that Qin Hongyu had been fired.
The news within Keda Company was only known to its employees. Ding Ruola learned about it all because of Bi Shuang.
However, there was another thing that bothered Ding Ruola. The cooperation agreement had just been signed with Qin Hongyu. Would the newly - appointed manager simply nullify all the previous cooperation?
Although Ding Ruola knew that cooperating with Keda now was a bit like "making easy money," considering the company's performance in the second half of the year, she could only grit her teeth and persevere. Meanwhile, she prayed that the new general manager would be easy to talk to.
To console Bi Shuang, Ding Ruola found an opportunity to invite her out.
She knew Bi Shuang's habits best. The two of them made an appointment at a marinated meat restaurant. There were only a few well - known ones in Kyoto.
Ding Ruola managed to make a reservation thanks to Fang Siyan's fame.
Alas! Sure enough, excellent people were different!
The best dish in the restaurant was the marinated goose. Ding Ruola directly ordered a whole spicy marinated goose.
Bi Shuang had been there for only a short while when the goose was served.
It had a dull yellow sheen. The oil and water made the goose look as if it were coated with a layer of yellow glaze.
The waiter helped them cut the goose. Ding Ruola just took a goose leg, ate it while talking, and took a few mouthfuls intermittently.
Bi Shuang was different. She seemed to be filled with hatred. The plate of goose meat in front of her was like that man. She wished she could bleed him, skin him, and then swallow his flesh and chew his bones.
Ding Ruola listened to the sound of Bi Shuang chewing and looked at the expression on the girl's face. She could feel how much the incident with Qin Hongyu had hit Bi Shuang.
Bi Shuang's previous boyfriend was no good either, but he wasn't as despicable as this one.
When they had almost finished eating, Ding Ruola suggested taking a stroll outside. Coincidentally, this area was a commercial street.
Shopping was also an option. Bi Shuang wiped her hands and mouth, then picked up her bag and dragged Ding Ruola out.
After strolling around the commercial street for a while, both Bi Shuang and Ding Ruola took a fancy to a dress, but the price was a bit too high.
When Ding Ruola was helping clothing factories with brand design, she knew a lot about such things.
The brand premium was quite high. Both girls were thrifty types. When they heard the price, they immediately lost interest in the dress.
"Hey! Ruola, don't go!"
"Manager Zhang!"
Ding Ruola had only taken a few steps with Bi Shuang when she heard Zhang Wei's voice. She looked back and sure enough, it was Manager Zhang.
"I've already asked the store to pack the two dresses!"
Ding Ruola knew that Zhang Wei was generous, but such attentiveness made her feel that something bad might happen.
"I'll transfer the money to you when I get back!"
Ding Ruola was clear - headed. It was better to clarify the relationship first.
Zhang Wei just waved his hand and said it was unnecessary. He said that all these things would be charged to Fang Siyan, and Ding Ruola didn't need to worry about it.
With this way of charging, did this store have some connection with Fang Siyan? Before Ding Ruola could ask, Bi Shuang, who was standing beside her, suddenly started to cry.
"Why can't I meet a man like this!"
Just by simply comparing the two men, anyone with an IQ above 60 could tell which man was more outstanding.
Ding Ruola shook her head helplessly. She put her arm around Bi Shuang's head and let her lean on her shoulder.
It was too embarrassing to cry on the curb.
Zhang Wei knew about Bi Shuang's situation. He gave Ding Ruola a business card and told her to go to the end of the commercial street. There was an e - sports club there with private booths that had good sound - insulation. Bi Shuang could cry inside without being seen.
Unexpectedly, things turned out well. As soon as Bi Shuang entered the e - sports club, she seemed to be a different person. She put the dress in her hand on a chair beside her.
Then she turned on the computer, logged in to her account, and soon the League of Legends interface appeared on the computer. Ding Ruola stared at Bi Shuang, who had changed her mood so quickly.
She was still a bit worried about Bi Shuang. She wondered if Bi Shuang's heart could take such a rapid emotional change.
Ding Ruola had nothing to do. She had no talent in games. She had played a few rounds with Bi Shuang before, but her skills were really bad.
So she had to open a video - streaming app and watch videos casually. After browsing around, she could only watch "The Remaining Years," a drama she had watched half of before.
When she opened the video - streaming app, the platform asked her to subscribe to a membership. The girl thought the drama was quite good, so she subscribed and watched a few episodes. Just as Ding Ruola was getting into it, a payment interface suddenly popped up.
Ding Ruola stared at the interface and was completely stunned.
"So the membership I just bought..."
Bi Shuang had just finished playing the game. She saw Ding Ruola sitting there in a daze in front of the computer and the payment QR code for "The Remaining Years." She couldn't help laughing.
"Membership nesting dolls. Isn't it fun!"
Ding Ruola's facial muscles were stiff. She now wished she could get the money for the membership back. She gave Bi Shuang a big smile.
"Do you have a link?"
She knew that Bi Shuang must have the resource for this drama. Bi Shuang shook her head helplessly and directly sent Ding Ruola a link.
It was already after 7 p.m. when the two of them came out of the Internet café.
Ding Ruola had accompanied Bi Shuang out to relax, but she didn't expect to spend so much time watching a drama in the Internet café.
She not only didn't work but also failed to console Bi Shuang as promised.
The two of them walked to the bus stop. The lights on the road were flickering. The passing cars and people made noises. From time to time, a group of people would disappear from beside Ding Ruola, and then another group would appear and wait there.
"Ashuang! I didn't handle that thing well!"
"You don't need to blame yourself. That guy is just a scumbag. I don't plan to stay there anymore."
Bi Shuang's talent at Keda was finally recognized. Because of an excellent planning case, she had been spotted by the headhunters of Pandora.
Pandora was a good place. If Bi Shuang went there to work, Ding Ruola and Bi Shuang would have more contact.
"My cooperation with Keda is finally over!"
The cooperation had only lasted for less than a week, but to make her good friend feel that they were on the same side, Ding Ruola used such words.
"Actually, it's not that bad. The general manager of Keda is Gu Tingjun."
Bi Shuang knew that Ding Ruola knew the new leader, and from her observation, their relationship seemed quite good.
Given their relationship and the mess that Keda had just been through, it was impossible to change the studio immediately.
"To be exact, your cooperation with Keda has just begun!"
Bi Shuang didn't know what was on her mind. She took Ding Ruola's hand and gently patted it three times.
Before Ding Ruola could say anything, Bi Shuang had already trotted onto the bus.
The bus to Bi Shuang's home was empty. There weren't many people on it.
Bi Shuang specifically found a window seat and waved to the people outside the bus.
