Lights on Both Sides

Luo Xu is twenty-nine years old and is the operations manager of Chengyuan retirement community. He manages high-end beds starting at 18,000 yuan per month, and the opening process is accurate to the minute; but his father runs a dilapidated nursing home in Huaishu Lane. Among the 27 elderly people, some are 11 months in arrears. On the opening day, an old man fell off the bed, and his father hid the truth from his family. Luo Xu maintained the standards of Chengyuan during the day, and made up shifts and made corrections in Huaishu Lane at night. The fire-fighting expenses of 120,000 yuan, the arrears of 67,000 yuan, and the facade that his father sold privately made the savings he saved for the wedding house continue to fill an unfathomable gap. Anonymous tips revealed his dual identity. The group asked him to exit Huaishu Lane, which he did, but he was never able to truly leave. Four years later, he was responsible for selecting one person from 187 needy elderly people for a public welfare bed. Luo Xu rejected Ding Shouyi from Huaishu Lane according to the rules, and thus regained the opportunity for promotion. Just before the appointment was finalized, my father was hospitalized for surgery, and the nursing home was on the verge of closing. Luo Xu finally resigned and took over Huaishu Lane. The price increase caused the five elderly people to leave, and also made him lose the possibility of living with Su Man. A few years later, the organization finally complied with regulations and became profitable, but he discovered that rules can help a place survive, but they may not keep the original people. The lights at both ends of the corridor turned on at the same time. Luo Xu's name was still written in the night emergency contact column.
