Chapter 337 Gold Digger 10

Everyone finally stopped joking and quickly continued working. Fortunately, fifteen minutes passed quickly. Yu Ruidong finished work, wiped the dust off his body with a towel, and only walked towards Ning Yan when he felt he wasn't so dirty anymore.

"I think I should go back and sort myself out first."

Ning Yan said, "Let's go straight to the public bathhouse." Taking a bath at home requires boiling water first, and it's not convenient. "I'll go get you a change of clothes."

Just buy it directly, so he won't disagree.

Yu Ruidong now listens to his girlfriend in everything, so naturally he agreed.

He went into a nearby bathhouse, and Ning Yan rode his old bicycle to a nearby shopping mall to buy a change of clothes. The boy had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and was tall, so he looked good in anything. Having had the experience of buying clothes for him once, the clothes Ning Yan bought this time were even more suitable.

"These clothes seem to be of good quality, but they must be expensive."

Ning Yan: "Since it's my first time visiting, I can't dress too poorly. I should try to leave a good impression on Master Qian."

Also, whatever Master Qian asks of you, do it honestly. It's okay to fail, but you have to do it. You need to let him see your dedication and effort.

Yu Ruidong became a little nervous after hearing what she said, afraid that if he couldn't meet Master Qian's requirements, his girlfriend would be disappointed in him.

The two left their bicycles outside the bathhouse and took a taxi to Mr. Qian's house.

When we arrived, Master Qian had just turned off the stove. "You're here, just in time. Quickly wash your hands and let's eat first. We'll talk after we finish eating."

Master Qian still remembers him. This kid works on construction sites every day, so he must be hungry by now. Even an emperor doesn't starve his soldiers; let him eat his fill first.

Yu Ruidong looked at Ning Yan, who said generously, "Then I must try Chef Qian's cooking. You've cooked for state banquets, so we're in for a treat tonight."

Then she pulled Yu Ruidong to wash his hands, and the two of them sat down at the table together.

Four simple dishes, but actually, the simpler the dish, the more you can see the skill involved, and you can even taste the difference just by taking a bite.

After eating Master Qian's dishes, Yu Ruidong realized that what he had been cooking before was like pig swill. No wonder Yan Yan wanted him to become Master Qian's apprentice. He had made up his mind that as long as the master was willing to accept him, he would learn the craft diligently and would not leave even if the master tried to drive him away.

After dinner, Ning Yan was sent away by Master Qian, who wanted to secretly test his disciple.

Ning Yan had no choice but to go out for a stroll, and before she knew it, she had wandered into the mall.

Sigh, the original owner was used to spending money, so she wanted to spend any money she had. Before long, Ning Yan bought herself two more sets of clothes, a beautiful gold chain, and a gold-inlaid jade bracelet.

Hehe, I'm itching to buy it.

It feels like money will bite me if I don't spend it.

In addition, she also bought some clothes for the elderly. Master Qian was clearly not short of money. There were six tea canisters here, with all kinds of tea. He doesn't drink alcohol. This was mentioned at dinner.

So she simply bought some new clothes for the old man; he could always wear them.

Her eyes are like a ruler; she can tell at a glance which size he should wear: down jacket, cotton coat, cotton shoes, and a self-heating back support belt.

Go ahead and wear it; it'll be warm and lightweight, and no one will make a sound once they put it on.

After buying the items, Ning Yan estimated that it was about time, so she carried the pile of things to Master Qian's house.

The courtyard was quiet. When Ning Yan pushed the door open, there was finally some noise. "Your boyfriend is back. It's getting late. You should go home too. Just come back on time the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, Master, I'm going back now."

Ning Yan hurriedly walked a few steps into the house. "Master Qian, these are the clothes I bought for you. Try them on and see if they fit."

Master Qian: "Hey, kid, why did you buy me clothes? I have more clothes than I can wear."

Even so, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face, because this wasn't about the clothes.

"By the way, Master Qian, now that you've accepted Rui Dong as your apprentice, shouldn't we hold a formal apprenticeship ceremony?"

"No need. He already served tea to my master today. He is my last disciple."

Some things are better left unsaid; there's no need to put on a show for others.

Ning Yan felt relieved. A closed-door disciple and an apprentice are not the same thing. This shows that Master Qian is very satisfied with Yu Ruidong. Therefore, he will be Master Qian's last disciple.

Ning Yan smiled, a very happy smile.

"Then we'll head back, Master. See you in two days."

After leaving Master Qian's house, Ning Yan reminded Yu Ruidong, "Your lease expires in half a month. In a couple of days, find a place near Master Qian's house so you don't have to travel back and forth in the dead of winter."

"But the rent here is obviously not cheap."

Ning Yan: "We are no longer like we were three years ago when we first came to Beijing, when we had to stretch every penny. I told you, we have money now."

I'll rent a two-bedroom apartment; I'll come over to stay on weekends too.

When Yu Ruidong heard that she would also be coming to stay, he immediately gave in: "Okay."

After the two returned home, Yu Ruidong took the initiative to boil water for Ning Yan to wash her face and soak her feet without being asked. The next day, he was woken up by Yu Ruidong at six o'clock.

"Yanyan, get up. You have class at eight in the morning. You'll be late if you don't get up now."

Ning Yan rolled over, not wanting to move.

Yu Ruidong could only shout again, "It's 6:30. It takes half an hour to wash up and eat, more than an hour to get around by car, and another half hour by taxi. I really can't sleep anymore."

Ning Yan hummed in agreement before sitting up.

"Wake up, wake up. Hurry up and get the rental situation sorted out. This shabby rental is so cold."

Yu Ruidong: "Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."

After a bowl of hot hand-pulled noodles in the morning, Ning Yan, carrying her laptop and a pile of clothes, rode Yu Ruidong's bicycle to the bus stop. Just as she jumped off the bicycle, a taxi drove by, and Ning Yan hailed it and left.

Even so, she arrived at school just in time to get into the classroom. Her roommate waved to her. Her seat was empty, and her textbooks were on the table.

Ning Yan sat down and thanked the professor, just then.

After class, my roommates started chattering, "No, you haven't come back for two nights, did you really go to see your boyfriend?"

Oh dear, this bracelet was bought by my boyfriend, it must have been expensive, right?

I've never seen you wear a necklace before!

This girl was just curious, she didn't mean anything by it. The fact that the four of them could get along peacefully for more than three years shows that they are all good people.

Otherwise, someone will definitely find a way to move out.

Ning Yan neither confirmed nor denied it, saying, "It's not too expensive, it's just an ornament."

Yin Yi asked casually, and then changed the subject: "Yao Qian has found an internship. It was introduced to her by her department professor. She's working as a consultant for a film crew. I heard that the internship salary is four thousand yuan."

Sigh, I really chose the wrong major back then. I ended up studying Chinese literature, and it feels like I'm not good at anything else.
