Chapter 1328: Bro, Go For It (Part 1)

Zhou Chengchen told Xiao Rou what had happened. After listening, Xiao Rou let out a breath of relief. "Then that’s good, as long as nothing serious happened."

"And you? Has that person come looking for you again?"

During those days Xiao Rou stayed at the Zhou Family’s place, Zhou Chengchen knew that person had come looking for Xiao Rou several times, but Xiao Rou had ignored him every time. Zhou Chengchen wasn’t clear on what their relationship had really been like.

But Xiao Rou wasn’t the type of girl who was casual about relationships. If she was with someone, she must’ve really liked him.

Looking at her friend’s thin, worn-out appearance, Zhou Chengchen felt awful too, but someone like that, who’d do something so shameless and against all principles, really wasn’t worth entrusting your life to.

Stirring the juice in her glass, Xiao Rou smiled. "He did come, but he won’t come again after this."

"How come?"

"I’ve made everything completely clear between us. And he basically can’t stay in B City anymore. He’ll have to move somewhere else."

Zhou Chengchen opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but for a moment she didn’t know what to say. Just then, Xiao Rou lifted her face in a smile. "Cheng Chen, there’s something I want your opinion on."

"Mm? What is it?"

"I want to resign from the Zhou Family."

"What?"

Zhou Chengchen was a bit taken aback. After what happened last time, it was basically guaranteed that Xiao Rou would be made permanent at the Zhou Family. Even if they didn’t consider her, Zhou Chengchen’s, face, just based on how serious Xiao Rou was about her work, even if she didn’t get some great position, becoming a full-time employee was absolutely no problem.

The Zhou Family is famous for treating its employees well; otherwise there wouldn’t be so many people desperately trying to get in.

And now Xiao Rou actually wanted to quit?

A faint sense of dread rose in Zhou Chengchen’s heart. Could this girl really be about to wander the world for love?

Or was it that the breakup had hit her so hard she wanted to empty herself out?

Just as Zhou Chengchen was about to speak, Xiao Rou beat her to it with a laugh. "I want to open a little shop."

"What?"

Once again, Zhou Chengchen was stunned. For a university graduate, wanting to start a business isn’t anything unusual—Si Yan hadn’t even graduated yet and he’d already started a company.

And wanting to open a small shop of her own isn’t exactly something unheard of either.

But for something like this to come from Xiao Rou, that was really unexpected.

To some extent, Zhou Chengchen knew about Xiao Rou’s family. Compared to ordinary people, they were quite well-off—the type of family where even if she did nothing and simply lived off her parents, they’d still never treat her badly.

But it’s exactly that kind of family that tends to raise very proper, well-behaved children, ones who rarely have any wild ideas.

And Xiao Rou was the most well-behaved of the well-behaved.

Zhou Chengchen had always felt that Xiao Rou was very similar to Su Weiyi—both quiet and gentle—but to be honest, if you really compared them, Xiao Rou was probably the more obedient one.

Su Weiyi would at least have a few bold thoughts now and then, but Xiao Rou wouldn’t. Ever since knowing her, Zhou Chengchen had never seen this girl have any out-of-line ideas. Back in school, even being late once would leave her flustered for hours.

And now Xiao Rou actually wanted to give up what others saw as a golden rice bowl and go open a shop on her own?

If it worked out, then there’d be nothing more to say. But if it didn’t, it would be quite a blow.

After all, opening a shop takes investment, and given Xiao Rou’s situation, the investment would definitely have to come from her family.

"Do your parents agree?"

Xiao Rou shook her head. "I haven’t told them yet, but they probably won’t agree."

"Then you...?"

"I still want to give it a try."
