Once reborn, Su Jiaojiao returned to the year she was forced into marriage. This time, she no longer escapes; she calls off the engagement, fights against scoundrels, earns money herself when broke...
Chapter 323 Encounter
"Ji Zhiqiang walked past his shop and glanced at him. Yu Mingjie recognized him and started yelling, 'What are you looking at?' An argument ensued, alerting the security guard." Although Ding Linyu had been working part-time throughout college, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation. "Yu Mingjie was incredibly arrogant and even threatened to kill Ji Zhiqiang."
"Actually, they both knew it was because of the jeans price drop." Su Jiaojiao placed the dumplings on a plate and thought about Ji Zhiqiang's harsh words. "Although the mall is like a battlefield, Yu Mingjie didn't get along with the merchants the moment he arrived. He's so arrogant."
Speaking of which, Yu Mingjie is considered to be the agent of Wanzhuo Garment Factory.
Their family has run the company for many years, so are they going to let such a person take the lead in the capital?
"I think Yang Chunhua is also dishonest. After Ji Zhiqiang was persuaded to come back by his wife, she continued to fan the flames, encouraging Ji Zhiqiang to take revenge on Yu Mingjie, saying that Yu Mingjie was too bullying." Ding Linyu also saw it clearly. "From now on, we need to stay away from Yang Chunhua. She is too shrewd."
"That's right. From now on, we must keep our distance from everyone." Su Jiaojiao was deeply touched and separated the dumplings squeezed on the plate a little. "Don't get too close."
Not to mention colleagues, even friends should have a sense of boundaries.
Getting too close to anyone is not a good thing.
Ding Linyu's dumpling filling was very successful. It was juicy when you took a bite, and it tasted very similar to the ones in a restaurant. Su Jiaojiao liked it very much and ate so much that she was full.
Ding Linyu is a senior in college and will return to school this month to attend the graduation ceremony and get her diploma. She said she does not plan to look for a job this year and will follow Su Jiaojiao to sell goods.
The main reason is that the salary offered by Su Jiaojiao is not lower than that of big companies, and food and accommodation are provided, so she doesn't feel much pressure. In addition, she and Su Jiaojiao are alumni, and the two have many common topics, so she is more willing to stay and develop together.
Su Jiaojiao was also very happy to hear this, but she still said that people tend to go to higher places and water flows to lower places. If there is a better job in the future, let Ding Linyu tell her in advance, and she can understand.
As the two were chatting, Su Jiaojiao received a call from Chen Xiaohong, telling her the good news that she had just given birth to a big fat boy, and asked her, as his aunt, to choose a name for the boy.
Su Jiaojiao congratulated him repeatedly and said that it would be better to let the elders of the Wang family choose the name for the child.
Chen Xiaohong was in good spirits and her laughter was particularly loud. She said that the nicknames given to her family were Goudan, Maodan and Xiaogaozi, and they didn't dare let them choose a real name. She also said that Wang Jian had said that the real name would be left to her.
Su Jiaojiao couldn't refuse anymore and said she would think of a few words with good meanings and then let them choose.
Chen Xiaohong said there was no rush and she had a month to think about it.
After hanging up the phone, Su Jiaojiao called Cai Ting again to discuss giving a red envelope to Chen Xiaohong. Cai Ting had just received a call announcing the good news and asked Su Jiaojiao how much the envelope should be.
In fact, this kind of red envelope is a gift-giving exchange.
If there is too little, it will be embarrassing; if there is too much, it will easily put people under pressure.
Su Jiaojiao offered two hundred, and Cai Ting readily agreed, saying that she thought so too. When she was free, she would go to see Chen Xiaohong and bring Su Jiaojiao's red envelope with her.
That night, Su Jiaojiao pulled Ding Linyu over and looked up words with her in the dictionary. She didn't like to procrastinate, so she would do urgent things later and do minor things when she had time. The two top students from Peking University looked up words until midnight before they found a bunch of words with good meanings.
In order to make it a sense of ceremony, Su Jiaojiao gave Ding Linyu an address and asked her to copy the words on card paper and send it to Chen Xiaohong.
Ding Linyu was surprised that Su Jiaojiao was so attentive. She always thought that this junior sister boss was decisive and not particular about details.
On weekend afternoons, Du Bingqian returned to the dormitory early to wait for Tang Ling and Su Jiaojiao to go to Shangri-La for dinner together.
Su Jiaojiao knew that they were going out for dinner in the evening, so she didn't go to the library. After class, she went straight back to the dormitory to prepare.
It was Tang Ling who suggested going out for dinner, but something happened to her courier that day and a package was missing.
The two waited for her for more than half an hour before she ran back covered in dust. Seeing that Su Jiaojiao and Du Bingqian had already packed up, she hurriedly washed her face and changed her clothes.
When she was about to go out, Tang Ling found that she was wearing the same clothes as Du Bingqian. They were both wearing a white dress. In order to distinguish the protagonist from the supporting role, she began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to look for clothes. Only when she found a blue dress did she pick up her bag with satisfaction and officially go out.
As they walked along the street, Tang Ling laughed again and said to Du Bingqian, "Why do I feel like we two are just supporting roles, and Su Jiaojiao is the main character?"
"How do I look like the protagonist?" Su Jiaojiao was amused by Tang Ling. She was wearing a white puff-sleeved waisted shirt on the upper body, light blue straight jeans and white platform shoes on the lower body. She was dressed very casually.
"One of us is white, and the other is blue. You are white-blue." Tang Ling chuckled, "And you still say you're not the protagonist."
"Don't talk nonsense, Bingqian is the protagonist today." Su Jiaojiao looked at her two roommates carefully. Du Bingqian was wearing a white dress and a light pink sunscreen jacket. She was definitely a young beauty.
Tang Ling's skirt also fits her well, but with her short hair, she can't look as charming as Du Bingqian. As a supporting role, Su Jiaojiao's outfit is actually very ordinary and definitely not meant to steal the show.
The three of them went to the Shangri-La Hotel chatting and laughing.
Business hotels are different. The lobby is very grand, with a large pond in the middle and two cute seals.
On the shelf nearby were plates of small fish and shrimp, each plate costing ten yuan, for customers to feed the seals.
Du Bingqian's boyfriend had been waiting in the private room for a long time. He was tall, handsome, and wore glasses. Tang Ling apologized as soon as she entered the room: "I'm sorry we're late. It's all because of me that I was delayed for over half an hour."
"It's okay, I just got here too." As her boyfriend, he took the lead in pulling out a seat for Du Bingqian, then greeted Su Jiaojiao and Tang Ling, "Hello, my name is Gu Haoyang, Bingqian's boyfriend. From now on, we're family."
"Hello, I'm Su Jiaojiao, Bingqian's roommate. Nice to meet you."
"I'm Tang Ling. We're Bingqian's roommates. You have to treat Bingqian well from now on, or we won't let you off."
"It's my honor to meet you two beautiful ladies." Gu Haoyang looked at them and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely treat Bing Qian well."
"As expected of the campus hunk from the University of Finance and Economics, you're so good at talking." Tang Ling said with a smile, "Talking without action is just empty talk. Let's see what you actually do."
"Your roommate is amazing. I'll go get two more dishes." Gu Haoyang smiled and stood up and said to Du Bingqian, "You guys take a seat first. I'll go get the dishes."
After he left, Tang Ling asked Su Jiaojiao again: "Did I say too much?"
"No, it's fine." Su Jiaojiao replied. Tang Ling has a lively personality and she just said a few more words. There's nothing right or wrong about it.
"It's okay, it's more lively when we're talking and laughing!" Du Bingqian blushed slightly. "You'll understand when you get to know him better. He's very easygoing."
Gu Haoyang asked Du Bingqian in advance and ordered eight dishes, also taking into account the tastes of Su Jiaojiao and Tang Ling.
The topics among the college students were their respective schools and classmates, and then they talked about the Shangri-La Hotel where Gu Haoyang worked part-time.
Gu Haoyang was very talkative and knowledgeable. He was the one who basically did all the talking. Tang Ling would occasionally say a few words, while Du Bingqian and Su Jiaojiao listened quietly.
After sitting for a while, Su Jiaojiao got up and went to the bathroom. She didn't have a good impression of Gu Haoyang. He was too talkative.
It feels weird to show off all your talents when you first meet someone.
Su Jiaojiao fixed her hair in front of the mirror when Lu Jingyou suddenly walked in. He was very surprised to see Su Jiaojiao, "Who did you come with?"
"With my roommate, how about you?" Su Jiaojiao didn't expect to run into him. Lu Jingyou walked over to her and washed his hands. "Yu Minghuai is here. I'm here to welcome him. Why don't you come over and sit with us?"
