When Wang Yitong went in, Zheng Shuangshuang's husband was at home taking care of the children, and her parents-in-law were running a business in the store. They were busy during the New Year and were not at home.

"Yitong, you're here. I heard Shuangshuang mention you, saying that you are her good friend. You guys chat in the room first. I'll go to the kitchen to heat up the dishes. We'll have a simple meal at home at noon. Jiaojiao has fallen asleep." After saying that, Zheng Shuangshuang's husband went to the kitchen to cook.

Wang Yitong handed the jewelry and red envelope for the child to Zheng Shuangshuang. "Shuangshuang, this is for the child, please accept it."

As soon as Zheng Shuangshuang saw the brand of jewelry, she refused. "You've already bought so many clothes, why are you still buying jewelry and giving red envelopes? Do you think you can start wasting money now that you've earned it?"

Listening to Shuangshuang's caring words, Wang Yitong knew that her friend hadn't distanced herself from her because of her own business. "You know I'm making money, but what about my little baby? If you refuse again, I'll think you don't consider me a friend."

Hearing Wang Yitong say this, Zheng Shuangshuang accepted the gift. "How about you start in Shanghai? I heard earlier that you already have a physical counter in the mall and a chain of milk tea shops. I'm so happy for you. I was once so confident that I would become a sales champion, but I hadn't even started my career when I started taking care of the baby. It drives me crazy to be around the baby every day. When the baby is disobedient, I want to go back to school and train him. This period of time is when the baby is naughty, and just thinking about it makes me feel exhausted. The baby's grandparents can't be relied on either. They clearly don't want to take care of the baby, and they also dislike Jiaojiao because she is a girl. Fortunately, the baby's father comes home to cook at noon, otherwise I would be unable to handle it."

At this point, the usually strong Zheng Shuangshuang burst into tears. Wang Yitong hugged Zheng Shuangshuang and patted her back.

The two chatted for a long time...

After Wang Yitong left Zheng Shuangshuang's home, she was deeply distressed when she heard about her situation. In her memory, Zheng Shuangshuang was like a white swan: beautiful, confident, warm and sincere to her friends. She was the one who comforted her when she and Lin Mu argued, and especially when she was heartbroken, she would take the train from Deyang City to her school to be with her, fearing that she would be depressed.

Why is it like this? Zheng Shuangshuang, like her, just wants a home and someone to rely on. Why is it so difficult?

Thinking of this, Wang Yitong told herself that she was now Zheng Shuangshuang's support.

After returning to Chengdu, Wang Yitong called her parents and briefly explained Zheng Shuangshuang's situation. She told them to leave the second bedroom for her to live in, and to wait until the child was older before moving to Shanghai. The company's sales department in Shanghai was in need of talent, and Zheng Shuangshuang had strong sales skills. She believed that if she gave Shuangshuang a chance, she would thrive.

I also sent Zheng Shuangshuang's phone number to the HR department of my Chengdu office, telling them she was a friend and that I was arranging a work-from-home job for her as an online customer service representative. After receiving the text message, the HR department said they would contact me later to make arrangements.
