Chapter 702 Ran Qiuye is in a bad mood

When Ran Qiuye wanted to say something, his father had already hung up the phone.

Although Ran Qiuye was still a little angry, her father had already said that it seemed that she should discuss it with Gu Nan when she returned to see what had happened.

The day passed quietly in the busyness, but Liu Lan was not idle. She was like a persistent detective, running around, carefully investigating Director Li's every move, and recording in detail every place where Director Li delivered the dishes. She did this to make Director Gu believe in her, so that he could smoothly join Gu Nan's side and fight against Director Li together.

As the workday was about to end, Liu Lan hurried to Gu Nan's office with the recorded paper in her arms. She knocked on the door gently, and after getting a response, she walked into the office and said, "Director Gu, I have something important to tell you."

In fact, Gu Nan had roughly guessed the reason why Liu Lan helped him. Recently, he heard that there was a girl in the Propaganda Department who was particularly close to Director Li. It seemed that Liu Lan was so angry about this incident that she decided to turn against him. However, Gu Nan knew that people's minds were unpredictable, and people like Liu Lan who were dealing with a complex workplace environment must have complicated minds. He couldn't help but wonder if Liu Lan's move was just a carefully planned drama? In comparison, Zhong Yi made him feel more reliable. Despite his doubts, Gu Nan still asked calmly, "Oh, what's the matter?"

Seeing this, Liu Lan quickly took out a piece of paper from her pocket, handed it to Gu Nan, and said, "Director Gu, these are all the families that Director Li sent the vegetables to. Take a look, this is enough to prove that I am really helping you."

Gu Nan took the paper, glanced at it, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Women are the most vicious." He didn't expect Liu Lan to go to such lengths to deal with Director Li. He nodded and said seriously, "Okay, I know about this. But you have to remember that now is not the time to deal with Director Li. We have to take a long-term view."

After hearing this, Liu Lan nodded obediently, then turned and left the office.

Gu Nan was delayed for some time because of a meeting at the factory. When he returned home, it was already late. As soon as he entered the door, he noticed that Ran Qiuye's face was not right, and there seemed to be a hint of worry.

Gu Nan thought that Ran Qiuye was angry because he didn't pick her up, so he hurried forward and said apologetically: "Qiuye, you don't know, there was a meeting at the steel mill today, and there were a lot of things to do, so I didn't have time to pick you up, don't be angry."

Ran Qiuye raised her head, looked at Gu Nan, and said slowly: "I'm not here for this matter. I have already written a letter of resignation."

After hearing this, Gu Nan was shocked. He looked at Ran Qiuye and asked with concern: "Did your father say anything to you? It's okay. If you don't want to resign, we won't resign. No matter what big thing you encounter, I will protect you."

Ran Qiuye looked at Gu Nan's sincere eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that Gu Nan was sincere to her, and after hesitating for a while, she still told him that her father wanted her mother to go back: "Gu Nan, what on earth happened? Why did my father ask my mother to go back so anxiously?"

Gu Nan listened to Ran Qiuye's words and thought to himself. He felt that this father-in-law actually loved his children very much. He must have done this because he was afraid that his mother-in-law would cause trouble for him. Thinking of this, Gu Nan smiled and comforted Ran Qiuye: "Okay, you scared me. You have the final say in this matter. You are the head of our family. Whatever you decide, we will do it. How about it?"

Ran Qiuye was still a little confused, and looked at Gu Nan and asked, "Why do you think father said that?"

Gu Nan smiled, not wanting Ran Qiuye to worry too much about this matter, so he said, "Okay, don't think so much." After that, he turned to look at Ran Qiuye's mother and said with a smile, "Mom, I'll go cook."

Ran Qiuye's mother smiled and said, "The meal is ready. We can eat it soon."

After hearing this, Gu Nan's face was filled with a happy smile. He looked at his mother-in-law and said, "Mom, you have worked hard. You have been taking care of the children all day and are busy cooking."

Ran Qiuye's mother smiled and went to serve the meal. Gu Nan looked at Ran Qiuye and whispered, "Let's talk about it tonight. It would be bad if mom heard it."

After hearing this, Ran Qiuye understood what Gu Nan meant and stopped talking.

At dinner time, the family sat around the dining table. Ran Qiuye's mother smiled and said, "Qiuye, you are going to resign too, so should I go back?"

Gu Nan hurriedly said with a smile: "That won't do, Mom. You still have to teach Qiu Ye well, let's talk about it after this period of time. I'll go talk to Dad."

Ran Qiuye's mother nodded slightly, and then fell silent without saying another word. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little depressing, as if shrouded by an invisible haze. Gu Nan keenly noticed the slightly awkward and dull atmosphere, and tried to break the deadlock, smiling and suggesting: "Why don't I tell a joke to relax everyone."

Afterwards, Gu Nan racked his brains and told jokes he had accumulated over the days, trying to liven up the atmosphere with humorous language and exaggerated expressions. However, perhaps because everyone had their own concerns, or perhaps it was just not the right time, even though Gu Nan spoke very hard, the atmosphere did not ease as he wished, and it still seemed a bit dull.

At night, the soft moonlight sprinkled into the house through the window. Ran Qiuye and Gu Nan were lying on the bed. Ran Qiuye turned over and looked at Gu Nan with doubts in her eyes. She asked softly: "What do you think Dad meant? Why did he call Mom back so anxiously?"

Gu Nan turned his head, looked at Ran Qiuye, sighed slightly, and said, "You still don't quite understand the current situation. In this case, let me briefly tell you about it." As he spoke, Gu Nan sat up, leaned against the head of the bed, his expression becoming serious.

He paused, then slowly said, "There are many things right now that I cannot tell you in detail for various reasons. But you have to know that although my family has worked in the steel mill for three generations, we are actually from poor peasant families. Take my grandfather for example, he worked as a helper in a landlord's house in his early years. These experiences may seem ordinary, but in fact, in the current environment, they may cause some complicated situations."

Then, Gu Nan elaborated on some of the background and potential impacts involved, trying to help Ran Qiuye understand the whole story more fully. After he finished, he looked at Ran Qiuye and asked, "Now do you understand why Dad asked Mom to go back?"
