The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

Chapter 249 Saving Love Brain 27

Wu Yufei may seem carefree, but she's also a great livener. The original owner, Xu Yingying, is a gentle, quiet, and kind person. Yu Lili, on the other hand, possesses an independent and self-reliant personality. While each of them may seem unique, they became close friends in college.

Wu Yufei grabbed Yu Lili's hand and said, "Lili, it's been a long time since we last met. What have you been busy with lately?"

Yu Lili looked at Wu Yufei and could only say helplessly, "What else can we be busy with? Of course, it's work and life! After graduation, everyone goes their separate ways. Can we still be together as heartlessly as before?"

Wu Yufei also felt that what Yu Lili said made sense. She turned to look at Xu Yingying and said, "Yingying, you are the one who thinks clearly. You got married and had children as soon as you graduated, and lived the life of a rich wife!"

Xu Yingying quickly replied: "Now when I think back on it, I feel dazed that I got married and had children right after graduation, especially now that my child is in kindergarten. I suddenly feel like I have no sense of existence at home. I still want to have my own career."

"Lili, how is your work lately? Is everything going well?" Wu Yufei sat leisurely, gently shaking the glass of iced cola in her hand, and asked Yu Lili opposite her with concern.

Yu Lili's originally relaxed expression suddenly darkened, as if shrouded in dark clouds. She sighed deeply and said with a bitter face, "Oh, forget it! I've been incredibly unlucky lately. The head of our department has been keeping a close eye on me."

"Ah? What is going on?" Wu Yufei widened her eyes in surprise, leaned forward involuntarily, and asked anxiously.

You know, Yu Lili was a well-known academic master in her school days, winning scholarships every year and being praised by everyone as a "three-good student". It is hard to imagine that she would be faced with such a difficult situation now.

Yu Lili shook her head helplessly, her eyes slightly red, and continued to confide, "Recently, another colleague in our department and I have been competing fiercely for a precious promotion opportunity. Everything was going smoothly, but who knew that at the critical moment, that hateful colleague actually used underhanded tactics to frame me and spread rumors everywhere that I stole the design plan from another company. But swear to God, that design was clearly the result of my hard work and hard work for several consecutive nights. God knows why it collided with the design of another company. As a result, the director of our department believed those rumors and has been making things difficult for me ever since. In fact, I know very well in my heart that he did this just to force me to give up and resign on my own initiative." After saying this, Yu Lili slumped in the chair like a deflated ball, and she no longer had the high-spirited and confident look of the past.

Wu Yufei was furious after hearing this and shouted indignantly, "This is simply too much! Since your supervisor is so confused about right and wrong and doesn't trust you at all, what's the point of you staying here? It's better to leave as soon as possible and find a better job!"

At this moment, Yu Lili sighed softly, and then slowly said, "Alas, you don't know, I've been trying hard to find a job recently, but the results are not satisfactory. Most of the resumes I sent out have been like a stone sinking into the sea, with no news. I'm really confused now, and I'm also thinking about whether I should just go back to my hometown. To be honest, I really don't want to go back in disgrace, but it seems that I really can't find a place for myself here!"

Wu Yufei couldn't help but frown as she listened to Yu Lili's helpless and frustrated words. She turned to look at Xu Yingying, who remained silent, and then nudged her gently with her elbow, her eyes hinting at her wanting her to speak and comfort Yu Lili.

Xu Yingying sensed Wu Yufei's hint and hesitated for a moment before finally mustering up the courage to speak: "Lili, how about we stop working for others and start our own business as bosses?"

Yu Lili was startled by Xu Yingying's sudden proposal. Her face was filled with astonishment. She stared at Xu Yingying with wide eyes in disbelief and asked, "What? What's going on? Why did you suddenly come up with such an idea?"

Wu Yufei was equally bewildered. She couldn't believe her ears. Back in college, Xu Yingying was known for being quiet and shy. She rarely even spoke loudly, let alone making such a bold suggestion like today. Wu Yufei and Yu Lili looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion and surprise. They had never imagined that the once introverted and quiet Xu Yingying could undergo such a remarkable transformation.

"I have never thought about being a full-time housewife for the rest of my life. What can I say? I just feel like I am tied to my family since I am at home every day. Before, I always had wild thoughts, thinking that my husband is so outstanding and I am alone at home, will he be seduced away by someone? Then some things happened and I realized that only when I can stand on my own feet will I not care whether he is seduced away by someone, because I am good enough and do not need him to prove my worth." Xu Yingying expressed her desire to be independent.

Xu Yingying took a sip of the Coke in front of her and continued, "Lili, I really think we can start a business together. You provide the technology, and I provide the money. How about we open our own clothing store?"

Although Xu Yingying worked as an assistant at Lin Weiye's company, she didn't think she'd stay there long; it was just a transitional period. After hearing about Yu Lili's situation, she felt she could start a business with her. After all, Xu Yingying had seen people's clothing styles in the years that followed in the original owner's memories. If they really did open a clothing store, they'd likely avoid too many detours.

"Can I do it?" Yu Lili did not have that much confidence in herself, but she wanted to get out of her current predicament.

"I believe you!" Xu Yingying replied firmly.

At that moment, Wu Yufei, standing nearby, listened carefully to Xu Yingying's words of encouragement to Yu Lili to start her own business. A wave of emotion washed over her, and a strong urge surged within her. However, after a moment, this impulse cooled, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head. She realized clearly that she had no design skills and no funds at all.
