"Well... about the matter of Sister Na's husband, thank you! If you hadn't given the order personally, things would definitely not have progressed so quickly." Xu Xiaoxiao's face was full of gratitude and her tone was very sincere.

Fu Yanchen smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "It's a small matter, don't take it to heart. His own ability is not weak, and when he was in the original unit, his reputation was quite good. The original company was even reluctant to let him go. It was only because of my face that they agreed to let him leave. In fact, you know in your heart, you should understand me. What I value most is a person's true ability and personal accomplishment, and he happens to have both of these points. Otherwise, even if you recommend him, it will be useless."

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, but agreed in her heart.

Of course, she knew that Sister Na's husband did have such ability, otherwise how could she rashly recommend him to Fu Yanchen? Fu Yanchen has always been meticulous in his work and has no ruthlessness.

"Hey... these are the clothes you left at my house the other day. I have already cleaned them for you."

As Xu Xiaoxiao spoke, she gently placed the bag in her hand on the ground.

Then, as if a little embarrassed, she turned around quickly and left in a hurry.

Fu Yanchen stood there, quietly watching Xu Xiaoxiao's departing back.

I saw her petite figure gradually moving away, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

Just as she was about to disappear from his sight, Fu Yanchen suddenly laughed out loud. He thought to himself, "It seems that Xu Xiaoxiao is no longer upset about me lying to her about being sick a few days ago. This is a good thing."

Thinking of this, the smile on Fu Yanchen's face became brighter. It's okay, just take it step by step.

The night was as dark as ink, gradually enveloping the entire town. The street lights were sparse, emitting a dim and warm glow.

After a busy day, Xiaomei and several other shop assistants finally finished all their work tasks. They first exchanged various interesting things they encountered today and the strange requests from customers, and burst into cheerful laughter from time to time.

Afterwards, Xiaomei and her colleagues cleaned up the areas they were responsible for, arranged the goods neatly, and wiped the counter spotlessly clean.

When everything was packed up, Xiaomei and others came to the front desk to say hello and goodbye to Xu Xiaoxiao who was busy sorting out the accounts.

"Xiaoxiao, we're leaving first!" Xiaomei said with a smile, her voice clear and pleasant. Xu Xiaoxiao raised her head and gave a warm smile: "Okay, be careful on the road!" Then, Xiaomei and her colleagues walked out of the store, talking and laughing, and their figures gradually disappeared at the end of the street.

At this time, Xu Xiaoxiao was the only one left in the store. She sighed softly and continued to concentrate on sorting out the accounts.

The light softly sprinkled on the table, illuminating her serious and beautiful face.

She lowered her head and concentrated on the work in her hands, the tip of her pen rustling on the paper. Occasionally, she looked up at the night outside the window, and a barely perceptible loneliness welled up in her heart.

When she finally finished carefully checking the last account, she slowly raised her head and stretched her stiff neck.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that time had slipped away quietly without her noticing.

Looking outside the store, I saw that the night was as dark as ink and everything around was silent, as if the whole world had fallen into a deep sleep.

The streets were empty, without a single pedestrian in sight, and even the usual hustle and bustle of the streets had disappeared without a trace.

Only the occasional sound of a few lonely dogs barking could be heard from a distant corner, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low. The sound broke the silence of the night, adding a touch of life to this cold and lonely night, but it also highlighted the quietness and loneliness of the moment.

Xu Xiaoxiao's heart trembled involuntarily, and a trace of uneasiness quietly crept into her heart.

She knew very well that if she returned home at this moment, it would be difficult to see any pedestrians on the road.

The journey home seems to be lengthened or shortened by time, making it unpredictable.

Take a taxi back? That seems a bit too extravagant and wasteful, after all, it is just a distance that is neither too long nor too short.

But what about walking? The journey alone seems so long that a sense of fear wells up in my heart, as if countless pairs of eyes are watching me in the darkness.

With every step she took, she could hear her heartbeat echoing in the quiet street, the sound like a drumbeat, beating on her fragile nerves.

The wind whistled past, rustling the leaves, and the subtle sound at this moment sounded like the whisper of a ghost, which made her shudder.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner anxiety. No matter what, this was not her first time walking alone at night. Although she was still a little scared, she always told herself to be brave and strong.

She picked up her backpack, locked the store door, and started on her way home.

In the darkness of the night, her figure seemed particularly lonely, but her steps were unusually firm.

She told herself that no matter what happened, she should stay calm and not panic.

Along the way, she tried her best to focus on the scenery around her, trying to distract herself from the fear in her heart.

The street lights illuminated her way, as if guiding her.

Occasionally, when the wind blew and the leaves rustled, she would stop and listen carefully, making sure there was nothing unusual before continuing on her way.

As she walked, she noticed that there seemed to be a figure swaying in front of her.

Her heart suddenly tightened and her pace slowed down involuntarily.

She held her breath and approached cautiously, only to find that it was a stray cat foraging on the roadside.

She breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help laughing. She felt that she was really afraid of everything.

At this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from home. She picked up the phone and heard Yuxuan's gentle voice: "Mom, are you off work? Be careful on the road. Mom, we are on vacation. I will wait for you to come home."

Hearing her son's voice, Xu Xiaoxiao's heart softened instantly. She smiled and replied, "Baby, I'm almost home. Don't worry. Listen to Brother Xiao Su. I'll come back to see you when I have time."

After hanging up the phone, she continued on her way, but her mood was completely different now.

She felt a warm current surging in her heart, which was the warmth of home and the care of her loved ones.

It was the same when she was in school. The teachers loved to give extra lessons and extend the class time, but no matter how late it was or how far away she was, Fu Yanchen would always wait for her to go home, and would only go to rest after seeing that she and Asu got home safely.

At that time, she thought Fu Yanchen was waiting for Ah Su. Later, Ah Su told the truth. My uncle would not wait for anyone until you came. Of course, he would call to ask if I had returned.

At that time, she thought that she was special in Fu Yanchen's heart, until she was framed by the Lu family, she knew that it was not the case...

Thinking about these things, she arrived home unknowingly. Finally, she saw the familiar door of her home, and an indescribable joy and peace of mind surged in her heart.
