Xu Qing heard the clues and asked anxiously, "Did this guy run away?"

Shu Fu shook her head in annoyance and continued to ask the person on the phone: "Has he been transferred abroad?"

"No, I resigned."

"When was that?"

"It's been a long time, maybe four or five months ago."

"Do you know the reason for your resignation?"

"I'm not sure about this. Anyway, he is no longer working in our company. If you want to find him, you have to find other channels."

"Then please transfer me to Manager Su from the Human Resources Department."

"Manager Su has also resigned."

"What about Stanley from the Finance Department?"

This question made the other party alert: "Who are you?"

Shu Fu was stunned and could not answer for a while. The other party seemed to have heard something and asked tentatively: "Are you Shu Fu?"

Now that she had been heard, Shufu admitted, "It was me."

"Oh, no wonder." The other party's tone suddenly became enthusiastic. "I was wondering why the voice sounded so familiar, it was really you! We were all so surprised that you were transferred to the development department and were doing well, why did you suddenly resign."

"I, I had something going on at home." Shu Fu explained hesitantly, then brought the topic back to the topic, "Can you pass it on to Stanley for me?"

"Oh, he's gone too."

"Why?" Shu Fu was shocked.

"Originally I shouldn't tell you this, but since you are my senior, I will tell you this in secret. Please don't tell anyone else and say that I told you this."

"Of course, I've already left the company, and there's no one I can talk to."

"I heard about it. It seems that someone complained about Stanley's sexual harassment in the workplace and even called the police. Then he was persuaded to resign by the company. Not long after he left, several middle-level leaders, including Joran and Manager Su, also left..."

It seems that someone couldn't bear the humiliation and chose to resist.

After hearing this news, Shu Fu and Xu Qingzi were completely panicked.

Shu Fu thought that Xu Qingzi had been paying attention to Zhou Zhaoran's movements during her pregnancy.

Xu Qingzi thought that Zhou Zhaoran would definitely hold on to such a high-paying and stable job.

No one expected such a turn of events to happen.

But now is not the time to pursue responsibility, Shu Fu quickly contacted her former colleagues to see if anyone knew Zhou Zhaoran's current contact information.

Xu Qingzi also hurried to find her Hong Kong friend to see if she could find out where Zhou Zhaoran lived.

But after all, he had been away for such a long time, and seemed to be deliberately hiding his whereabouts.

After they had searched everyone they could and used all the means they could, they discovered that Zhou Zhaoran had just disappeared.

Finding someone in mainland China is like looking for a needle in a haystack, let alone across borders. You don’t even know where to start.

After several efforts, Xu Qingzi no longer expected to find Zhou Zhaoran and get any benefits from him.

He began to devote all his attention to the store, and began to become cold towards Shu Fu intentionally or unintentionally.

That was the most difficult time for Shufu.

The weakness after giving birth, the helplessness and panic after learning that Zhou Zhaoran had lost contact, and the sudden indifference and alienation of good friends.

It all made her feel suffocated.

The only thing that kept her going was that little life which ate and slept, and would cry loudly if things didn't go her way.

She knew that she couldn't put her hopes on hopelessness and that she had to rely on herself for everything.

After the confinement period, she returned to the clothing store with her child on her back.

Tell Xu Qingzi that no matter whether Zhou Zhaoran can be found in the future, from today on, it should be announced to the public that this child is the little sister left behind after her parents died, and is now being raised by her as the elder sister.

Xu Qingzi didn't say much, just smiled and nodded in agreement.

There are many difficulties in taking care of a baby. Feeding, changing diapers, putting the baby to sleep...all are done by her alone.

For quite a long time, Shufu had not had a full sleep or a hot meal.

She often finds herself in an awkward situation: the child is crying on one side, the guests are shouting on the other, and she doesn't know what to do with the bottle in her hand.

But these chaotic days were still relatively stable and steady.

After the clothing store recovered its costs, Xu Qingzi started paying Shu Fu a monthly salary. In addition to the basic salary, there was also commission from clothing sales, and the monthly amount was quite considerable.

This gave Shu Fu some confidence, and she felt that she could raise her child well even without a man.

She was only thinking about making money to support herself and her children, and had no time to heal the wounds caused by Zhou Zhaoran.

But she never imagined that one day, when she was in the most difficult time, her best friend would add another blow to her unhealed wound.
