Su Ran was fired; there was no room for discussion.
This was reality, where people who were willing to save a damsel in distress were a dime a dozen.
When Manager Lin took her to settle her salary, the hard, angry look on Su Ran’s face didn’t go unnoticed by Yan Cheng. Anyone would feel aggrieved by this matter, but the grievance had been brought on by herself. She had no right to blame others for her own actions. Even if the situation had been ten times worse, she would still have been expected to grit her teeth and bear with it.
The bar was not a charity organization. Only those who could do their job right and not cause trouble for the establishment were qualified to stay. Manager Lin sighed deeply. He looked at the girl and tried to offer her a few words of comfort.
“Being righteous is not a bad thing, but you cannot survive in society by being righteous.”
But soon, he realized that she wasn’t listening to him at all. Instead, she chose to capitalize on his sympathy, and it soon became obvious that she was looking for a common ally to complain to. As she ranted, she completely ignored her own fault and pushed all of the blame to the other party.
“It wasn’t my fault!” and “Why?!” nearly became her mantras.
Manager Lin narrowed his eyes as the last bit of his patience slipped away. “On the first day of part-time employee training, I remember saying that those who don’t think they can bear getting taken advantage of in exchange for some extra money should give up on the idea of becoming a beer girl. Why didn’t you speak up then?”
“…”
Because she was naive.
Human nature was a very complicated thing.
Despite knowing that she was also at fault for causing the situation to escalate as much as it did, she continued to act like the complete victim when retelling the story to those who didn’t know it.
Since she was fired, Su Ran left Er Guan early.
Not long after she exited the east door, she saw the owner of Er Guan, who had saved her and made her lose her job at the same time, leading a slender woman around the restaurant. She heard Manager Lin call the woman the “lady boss.”
From beginning to end, this lady boss could be considered a true spectator.
Su Ran stared at them for a few seconds before turning away and heading for the bus stop.
The night gradually deepened as a cool wind swept through the air and long shadows fell over the sidewalk.
The city was still the same. Everyone was still going about their own lives.
When she arrived at her university, she immediately returned to her dorm.
