Chapter 24 Shopping (2)

After the two arrived at the mall, they each bought a cup of milk tea, and then began to run wild. Gu Meng dragged Jiang Ningyue to visit each store, putting all kinds of clothes on Jiang Ningyue.

Jiang Ningyue was treated like a puppet and allowed to be manipulated by Gu Meng.

The salesperson's eyes were filled with amazement when he saw Jiang Ningyue and Gu Meng. "With your figures and looks, you two would look good even in rags."

"How about this?"

Gu Meng took out a palm-sized skirt and asked.

"No no no, Da-me!"

Jiang Ningyue's face was full of resistance. "This is too short. Oh my god, I can't accept it."

"feudal!"

Gu Meng criticized, "You are already working, don't be a good girl anymore."

"No, no." Jiang Ningyue shook her head frantically, "Even if you kill me, I can't accept this kind of skirt."

"Okay." Gu Meng looked regretful. She felt it was a shame not to show off Jiang Ningyue's long legs. "Then buy a pair of slim-fitting jeans."

"Well, okay."

Jiang Ningyue hesitated for a moment and nodded.

The pants I usually wear are sweatpants, the kind that are loose and big.

Not long after, the salesperson who had been playing with his phone nearby ran over with his phone in hand, "Excuse me, customer, is this you?"

Jiang Ningyue looked over in confusion and found that the picture on her phone was the picture of her live broadcast the day before yesterday, so Jiang Ningyue smiled and nodded.

"Yes."

"Wow, you look so beautiful, even prettier than in the video."

The salesperson looked like he had seen a celebrity and asked, "Can we take a picture together?"

"I don't think this is necessary." Jiang Ningyue was a little at a loss. She was not a star. If you wanted to take a photo, go find Gu Meng.

"Come on, come on, I'll give you a discount, a member price."

The salesperson used all means, "I'll just post a TikTok to show off."

"All right."

Although Jiang Ningyue was not poor, she still gave in when faced with discounts and membership prices.

Just like that, several salesmen took a photo with Jiang Ningyue and Gu Meng.

The salesperson posted the video on Douyin and the photos on Weibo.

[I ran into Jiang Ningyue and her bestie while shopping at work. She looked much prettier in person than in the video.]

In just a few hours, there were thousands of comments.

[Wow, Jiang Ningyue and her bestie are both so pretty. It turns out that beautiful women always make friends with beautiful women.]

[This appearance is really impressive. As expected, all the good-looking ones are handed over to the country. ]

[Why don’t you become a star if you are so beautiful? ]

[Aren't provincial TV reporters more comfortable than a little celebrity like you?]

[The entertainment industry is too dirty. My Xiaoyue won't go there.]

Jiang Ningyue didn't pay attention to this matter. She spent the whole morning shopping and bought more than a dozen sets of clothes and several pairs of shoes. After all, the weather was getting cooler now, so in addition to short-sleeved shirts, she also bought some autumn clothes and coats.

It took me two trips just to put such a large pile of stuff into the car.

Jiang Ningyue, who was exhausted, finally stopped Gu Meng's request to continue shopping and found a fast food restaurant to have a meal.

"Mengmeng, I'll bring you back when I get my salary, and I'll pay then."

Yes, all this stuff was bought with Gu Meng's money. Jiang Ningyue was about to pay for it, but Gu Meng stopped her, saying she hadn't received her salary yet. This pile of clothes and shoes cost Gu Meng over 10,000 yuan.

"Okay." Gu Meng nodded with a smile. "Let's go back and change our clothes, and then drive to the furniture store this afternoon."

"Still going?"

Jiang Ningyue made a bitter face and asked, "How about going tomorrow?"

"You're not going to work tomorrow?"

"I'm on leave."

"Doesn't that mean you can go back to work after Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Yes."

Jiang Ningyue nodded.

Although there may be tasks during the Mid-Autumn Festival, my leader probably won't assign me any work because I'm sick.

"Then please spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at my house."

Gu Meng's eyes lit up, "Come to my house for dinner."

"Isn't this a bit disturbing?"

"What's the bother?" Gu Meng said with a smile, "My mother likes you very much."

"Hmm."

Jiang Ningyue nodded. As far as she could remember, she had been to Gu Meng's home several times, and Gu Meng's mother was indeed very warm to her.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Ningyue couldn't help but let Gu Meng go home. It was indeed a bit lonely to stay at home alone to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After much thought, I agreed.

"All right."

"whee."

Gu Meng smiled when she heard Jiang Ningyue agree. Jiang Ningyue used to be a very introverted person. She would have to talk a lot to get her to come to her home. Now that she's a reporter, her personality has definitely changed.

"However, let's go to the furniture store this afternoon. I want to install it myself."

"Self-safe?"

Jiang Ningyue was stunned. "You can?"

"If you don't know how, you can learn. It would be great if we could DIY our own little home."

"My own little home..." Jiang Ningyue's mouth twitched, but she did not refute.

"What's wrong? Do you have any objections?" Gu Meng raised his eyebrows.

"No." Jiang Ningyue denied with a smile.

After dinner, the two returned to the apartment, and Jiang Ningyue changed into clothes at Gu Meng's urging. However, Jiang Ningyue did not change into a skirt or anything like that. It had been raining for several days, and the temperature had dropped to more than ten degrees.

So, Jiang Ningyue was dressed in jeans, a denim jacket, and a white shirt. Gu Meng didn't change her clothes, as she wanted to go home and change.

In the afternoon, the two came to Gu Meng's home.

Gu Meng's home is located in the Economic Development Zone, about a 20-minute drive away. Gu Meng's father is a mid-level manager in a state-owned enterprise, and her mother, a former dancer, now co-founded a dance training program. While her family wasn't particularly wealthy, their circumstances were vastly different from Jiang Ningyue's.

The two went upstairs. Gu Meng's mother Ning Hui was watching TV at home. When she heard the sound of the door, she stood up immediately. When she saw Gu Meng and Jiang Ningyue at the door, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Xiaoyue is here. I haven't seen her for a few months. She looks much prettier."

"Hey, hello, Auntie." Jiang Ningyue showed an innocent smile and greeted Ning Hui politely.

"Mom, I'm going to go back and change my clothes first."

Gu Meng waved casually and turned to walk towards her room. Jiang Ningyue was about to follow her in, but Ning Hui waved at her.

"Xiaoyue, auntie wants to chat with you."

A hint of regret flashed in Jiang Ningyue's eyes, and she sat obediently beside Ning Hui.

Ning Hui: "Auntie saw your live broadcast when she was browsing her Moments. Which department of the TV station are you in now?"

"The People's Livelihood Reporting Department of the News Center."

"oh."

Ning Hui nodded and asked curiously, "Which department is responsible for your station's variety shows?"

"Usually, it's the Arts and Culture Center." Jiang Ningyue thought for a moment and replied, "But sometimes, the Investment Promotion Department and other external organizations will collaborate to organize some programs."

"oh oh."

Ning Hui nodded. "Are you familiar with them? Are there any good variety shows Mengmeng could go to?"

"Forehead."

Jiang Ningyue blinked and smiled bitterly, "Auntie, I've only been working for a month."

"That's right." Ning Hui nodded. "Then you should pay attention next time. It's not easy to get into the film and television industry right now. Your uncle has been a head of a state-owned enterprise for so many years, but in the end he couldn't help at all. It was Mengmeng's teacher who helped find the crew."

"Don't worry, Auntie. Mengmeng is my only friend. I will definitely help her."
