The store manager is in his forties, nearly twenty years older than Xiao Li, but he is mature and calm, has a gentle temper, and has a successful career, which is also a good choice for Xiao Li.

The new clerk, a few years younger than Xiao Li, is young and handsome and has a sunny personality, and it is said that it is for Xiao Li to give up a better job and come to work in a clothing store.

Amy supports the selection of a young clerk, believing that he is the same age as Xiao Li and will be happier.

Su Wei supported Xiao Li's selection of a middle-aged store manager, thinking that old men know how to love women, and Xiao Li can live like a little princess.

The two also made a bet because of this, Amy said that the store manager would win Xiao Li's heart, and Su Wei said that the store manager would win to the end.

Qi Wan's advice is to observe and test, what belongs to you will belong to you after all, and there is no need to rush for a while.

A few days later, a new young and beautiful girl was recruited into the store, and she seemed to be very popular.

Amy complained to Qi Wan: "What are you doing here? Give Xiao Li eye medicine! She's finally about to be happy, so if you don't help her, forget it, why do you still place mines? ”

Qi Wan smiled: "Look at it later, you will understand." ”

A month later, the young clerk gave up on Xiao Li and pursued the new beautiful girl, but was rejected.

Another month later, the beautiful girl left the clothing store, and the young clerk was fired by Qi Wan because of slack work.

Amy said indignantly: "What, it's really unreliable to empathize so quickly." ”

Qi Wan said meaningfully: "Now you can see it!" ”

"So, you recruited that beautiful girl on purpose?"

"That's right. If a person just likes young and beautiful appearance, this kind of love is too superficial and unreliable. ”

"It's a pity, that young clerk, I was quite optimistic, but I lost to Su Wei in vain."

"What are you betting on?"

"Whoever loses, Xiao Li will give her a red envelope of 10,000 yuan when she gets married in the future."

Qi Wan smiled: "This bet is not bad. ”

"But isn't it a pity that you lost two clerks at once?" Amy was still puzzled.

"What's the pity? People who can't stick to their posts and are impetuous and unrealistic in their hearts will leave sooner or later. If you slack off on work just because you are out of love, it means that this person has no sense of responsibility at all, let alone being responsible for the future of others, he is not even responsible for his own future. ”

"Sister Qi, you are amazing. Well, I lost willingly. It is better for the young clerk to quit by himself than Xiao Li to choose him, and after marriage, he found that this person was not enterprising and had no sense of responsibility! ”

Subsequently, Qi Wan specially asked Xiao Li to pick up her mother and child to live, and asked Xiao Li to take the child to the store to take care of her during the day.

Amy was not calm again: "The young clerk has left, there is only one choice left, why did you ask Xiao Li to bring her mother and child over at this time?" What should I do if the store manager is scared out of my mind? ”

Qi Wan said: "If a person really loves you, he will understand a truth, he loves not only you, but also your family, and is willing to share pain and sorrow for you." If he can accept these things, it means that this is true love. ”

Qi Wan shrugged: "I hope the store manager can pass the test, otherwise the whole army will be wiped out." ”

Qi Wan smiled: "Don't be afraid of losing, and don't be afraid of failure, so that you can see people's true hearts and get happiness that truly belongs to you." ”

Another month passed.

With the arrival of Xiao Li's mother and the appearance of the child, the store manager gradually became cold to Xiao Li.

Although the work is still conscientious, Xiao Li is not as enthusiastic as before.

Xiao Li cried because she was sad, and Qi Wan asked her, "Will you hate me for letting you take your mother and child?" ”

Xiao Li shook her head: "No, I'm sad because of myself, I found out that I was terrible and had been defeated by reality." ”

Qi Wan said: "People's hearts are selfish, and they all have to weigh the pros and cons. It's not terrible to be defeated by reality, it's terrible to be defeated by yourself. Don't belittle yourself because of the attitude of others, and never give up on your inner love and dreams. ”

Xiao Li said: "Love and happiness are too far away for me, maybe I can't get them in this life." ”

Qi Wan asked, "Then do you know why the store manager gave up on your mother?" ”

Xiao Li shook her head: "I don't know." I didn't have the courage to ask. ”

"The store manager's love for you is deeper than that of the young clerk, and it is not without sincerity, but he is a man in the world after all. He can accept the fact that you are divorced and have children, but he hesitates when he realizes that your entire family needs him to be responsible. ”

"Did he say it himself?" Xiao Li asked with tears in her eyes.

"Yes, since you call me sister, I am responsible for your happiness, and I know that according to your character, I will not ask, so I will help you ask. But your family isn't the whole story. ”

Xiao Li was puzzled: "Then what is the reason?" ”

"He has a daughter and does not accept her father's remarriage at all."

"I've seen that girl with a personality that is a bit like Amy, and about the same age as Amy, and I understand how she feels." Xiao Li didn't say anything about the girl who was very unfriendly to her.

He said that his daughter was forced to die, and he had no choice. I asked him, you knew that Xiao Li had a child from the beginning, and you also knew your daughter's attitude, why did you chase Xiao Li and give up now? ”

"What did he say?" Xiao Li asked in a deep nasal voice.

"He said that with the presence of your mother and child, and the pressure of your daughter to die, he began to get scared. When I thought that my future life would be like chickens flying and dogs jumping on the ground, I felt powerless. Qi Wan sighed.

Xiao Li choked up and said: "I should have thought that it would be like this from the beginning, and I shouldn't have fantasies about love." ”

Qi Wan shook her shoulder: "Don't cry. You don't dislike his age, you don't find fault with him He also has children, and he has a father and mother who are sixty or seventy years old, but he just retreated because he couldn't reconcile the contradictions between you, which shows that although he is mature and stable, he is only in terms of work, and at his age he will be more realistic, he takes the economic foundation very seriously, and he does not have much ability and sense of responsibility for love and family. It's better to see all this clearly now than to make a lot of trouble after marriage! ”

Xiao Li nodded: "In the future, I will never have any illusions about love and marriage." ”

Qi Wan said: "Is it because you met two bad people that you deny love and marriage?" ”

"I was so tired that I couldn't see the road ahead."

"With your current work ability, there is no problem raising a family. You are gentle, kind and studious, they are not worthy of you, and you will definitely get better love. ”

"Sister Qi, I know you're just comforting me, and no one will accept me." Xiao Li said sadly.

"From tomorrow, I will hand over another branch to you, and you will be the store manager from now on."

"Sister Qi, no, I can't hold up......"

Qi Wan said: "Through your study and exercise in the past few months, you have made a lot of progress than before, I believe you can." ”
