Chapter 67: Couple Watch!
Su Mengxue didn't want to take advantage of Gu Yunting. Just as she was about to return the tickets on the glass cabinet to him, she saw the salesperson put away the industrial coupons and the money, and then quickly issued an invoice for her.
As the salesperson handed her the invoice, he joked, "Little comrade, is this your boyfriend? He's really generous. This amount of industrial coupons would take everyone half a year to save up, and he took it out without blinking. Also, he's really handsome. You two are a perfect match."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Mengxue caught a glimpse of Gu Yunting lowering his eyes and laughing softly. She hurriedly waved her hand and denied it, "Sister, you misunderstood. He is not my partner."
Upon hearing this, the salesperson scratched his head awkwardly. "Oh, I'm so sorry, young comrade. I misunderstood. I think you two are a perfect match, so..."
She changed the subject: "Young comrade, no matter what, this guy is really good to you. Who else would be willing to give out so many industrial coupons at once?"
After hearing what the salesperson said, Su Mengxue realized the importance of industrial coupons in this era of material scarcity. She couldn't just use them for nothing. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Sister, how much are these industrial coupons worth in total?"
"How about money?" The salesperson frowned, thought for a moment, and replied, "Young man, that's not how it's calculated. You only get one industrial voucher for every 20 yuan of salary. For a job like mine, I only get two vouchers a month. It would take me nearly half a year to save up enough for ten."
Su Mengxue lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before deciding to give Gu Yunting 100 yuan. Just as she was about to take the money out of her pocket, she saw Gu Yunting pointing to the men's watch in the glass cabinet that was the same style as Su Mengxue's and asked, "Comrade, how much is this watch?"
Su Mengxue looked in the direction of his finger and saw that he had taken a fancy to the same style of watch as hers. She couldn't guess what he was thinking for a moment. The watch on his hand was much better than the one in the glass cabinet.
The salesperson immediately took the watch out of the glass case and handed it to him. "Young man, you have good taste. This watch just arrived from Shanghai, and it's a couple's watch with the women's watch just now. It's just that the strap is a bit bigger. This one costs 198 yuan, which is also ten industrial coupons."
As she spoke, she turned the dial over and introduced: "Look at the back of this dial..."
"I bought it."
Before the salesperson finished his introduction, Gu Yunting had already pulled out his wallet. He first took out ten industrial coupons and placed them on the glass case, then rummaged through his wallet and pulled out 150 yuan.
He suddenly turned around and looked straight at Su Mengxue: "I don't have enough money with me. Please pay for the remaining 48 yuan. It will be considered as a coupon for me."
Su Mengxue was just wondering how much money to give him, and when she heard him say that, she naturally agreed. She readily took out 48 yuan from her pocket and put it on the glass cabinet.
After paying the bill, she said to Gu Yunting, "I'll be leaving first." Then she turned around and prepared to leave.
Gu Yunting once again blocked her path: "Since it's difficult for you to return to the countryside because of the broken engagement, I should help you with the house issue."
Su Mengxue didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, so she waved her hands and said, "Gu Yunting, I didn't stay in Jiangbei just because of that incident. I stayed here because there are a lot of opportunities to make money. Anyway, you don't have to worry about the house."
"You and Tang Qing are now in an employment relationship. If you move directly to her place, it might not be appropriate for a long time."
After graduating from university, Su Mengxue worked as a slave in a large factory for two years. Later, she resigned and started her own business as a boss. She naturally knew the relationship between boss and employees. She knew that it was best to maintain a proper distance, neither too far nor too close.
So she had no intention of really moving into Tang Qing's house. She just agreed perfunctorily at the time. She had always been thinking about finding another house and then finding a reason to explain to Tang Qing.
"I didn't plan to live with her. Did you suddenly come back just to talk to me about the house?"
After she finished speaking, she seemed to think of something, glanced around, and didn't see Jiang Shiyi, so she urged, "Don't worry about this matter, just leave quickly, otherwise it won't be good to keep the girl waiting for too long."
Gu Yunting's face darkened and his tone was stiff: "Su Mengxue, your grandfather and my father are close friends. If I don't do anything and word gets out, the Gu family will be criticized. If my father finds out in the future, he will not forgive me. It's settled. I'll take care of the house issue."
Although Su Mengxue felt that Gu Yunting was overthinking things, she changed her mind and thought that he had a wide network of contacts in Jiangbei and it would be much easier for him to find an apartment than her. She said, "Gu Yunting, you can help me find an apartment, but I have to pay the rent myself."
Gu Yunting's throat moved slightly. He wanted to say something, but seeing that she finally gave in, he compromised, although reluctantly, and said, "Okay."
Su Mengxue thought for a moment and said, "It would be best if the house is closer to Xiangyang Auditorium. I live alone, so it doesn't need to be too big, but it would be best if it has a place to take a shower and go to the toilet."
She immediately added, "It would be even better if we could find a house at a lower price."
Gu Yunting agreed readily again.
Seeing that he agreed so readily, Su Mengxue was afraid that he would just be perfunctory, but then she thought of his serious character and felt relieved.
She glanced at her watch and then said to Gu Yunting, "Gu Yunting, thank you for your help. I won't leave until the end of the month, so you don't have to worry. Also, if you find a house, please let me know at the tailor shop."
After she finished speaking, she walked a few steps outside and then turned back to add, "By the way, Gu Yunting, your clothes are ready. Remember to come to the tailor shop to pick them up when you have time."
Gu Yunting walked up to her and said, "I happen to be free now. I'll go back with you to get your clothes."
When Su Mengxue thought of Jiang Shiyi, a hint of vigilance flashed in her eyes. She didn't want Jiang Shiyi to go to Jiang Weilong to complain and cause trouble for no reason.
She quickly reminded him, "Gu Yunting, you come back with me. What about Jiang Shiyi? What if she misunderstands us again? Forget it, I'd better leave first."
She said this and trotted away.
Seeing her eagerness to cut off ties with him, Gu Yunting felt a surge of bitterness. He clenched his fists tightly, and his face was as cold as if covered with ice.
When he got back to the car and was about to start the engine, Jiang Shiyi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, noticed the watch on his hand and asked in confusion, "Brother Yunting, did you buy this new watch? Wasn't your previous one pretty good? Why don't you wear it anymore?"
Gu Yunting tilted his head to look at her and replied bluntly, "This watch was given to me by someone I like. It means a lot to me, and that watch can't compare to it."
