Before Wang Yitong could reply to Wen Fang, a QQ message popped up on her computer. She clicked it and saw it was from Manager He: "No idle chatting during work hours. Yitong, you should learn more from Sasha. You too will be a top performer. Don't be like your master, a lazy person."
Wang Yitong suddenly felt like she'd been caught, and she resented the newspaper's backstage monitoring practices. She felt she had to be careful with her words and didn't feel free at all. The repetitive daily phone calls also bored her. She reluctantly replied to Manager He, "I understand."
At the same time, Manager He also sent Wen Fang a QQ message: "No idle chat during work hours. Wen Fang, you're a veteran employee, you need to take the lead. Encourage new employees to work actively and don't slack off."
Wen Fang rolled her eyes when she saw Manager He's message and replied speechlessly, "Manager He, could you please stop popping up all the time? It's making me lose the mood to mentor new people. Don't I have achievements? Being ranked in the middle makes me the backbone of the newspaper. Calm down."
Manager He saw Wen Fang's reply and started to have a headache again. He really loved and hated Wen Fang. She was obviously a very motivated and capable person, but she was so willful. These people really made him worry.
After a while, Wang Yitong's phone beeped. She opened it and saw it was a text message from Wen Fang: "Tongmei, don't worry about Manager He. Relax when you need to. Don't put pressure on yourself. You're here to work, not to risk your life."
Wang Yitong felt a surge of warmth as she read Wen Fang's message. She understood that in this seemingly busy and frustrating work environment, she had gained a true friendship. Wen Fang's care and understanding made her feel incredibly warm.
"Thank you, Sister Fang. Let's go eat skewers tonight." Wang Yitong replied to Wen Fang's text message with a smile.
After work, Wang Yitong and Wen Fang went to a nearby skewers restaurant. The place was filled with alluring aromas, and the lively atmosphere made them feel relaxed and happy. They found a quiet corner and sat down to select their favorite skewers.
Wang Yitong and Wen Fang savored delicious skewers while drinking Weiyi soy milk and complaining about the latest TV series. "Do you want to watch the Meteor Shower together? Meteor Garden is better," Wang Yitong said indignantly.
"Haha, that's a must. The old version of F4 is still quite handsome, and Big S's aura is there." Wen Fang responded with a smile.
"That's true, but our real life is more exciting. By the way, Sister Fang, let's go shopping at Lotus Pond on the weekend. I heard there are a lot of cheap and good-looking clothes there." Wang Yitong suggested.
"Okay, I love bargaining the most. Then you'll see how I can bargain the boss down to a pulp." Wen Fang said excitedly.
"Haha, Sister Fang, you are so awesome! I will be responsible for cheering you on." Wang Yitong said with a smile.
"That won't work. You also have to learn to bargain, so that you can buy things with high cost performance." Wen Fang said seriously.
"Well, I will try my best. By the way, Sister Fang, have you seen any good movies recently?" Wang Yitong asked.
"I recently watched an art film, which was quite good. The story was very touching and the pictures were beautiful. What type of movies do you like to watch?" Wen Fang asked.
"I prefer watching comedies, the kind that can make people laugh. I feel better after watching them," said Wang Yitong.
"Comedy movies are also good, they can help you relax. But sometimes you can also watch other types of movies to broaden your horizons," said Wen Fang.
The two ate skewers while chatting happily and sharing each other's daily life. Unconsciously, a long time had passed.
"Oh, it's so late, we should go back." Wang Yitong said after looking at the time.
"Okay, let's go. I had a great meal today!" Wen Fang said contentedly.
They left the skewers shop and walked home. The night breeze blew on their cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness. Wang Yitong and Wen Fang held hands, feeling each other's warmth.
"Thank you, Sister Fang. Eating skewers and chatting with you today makes me feel much better." Wang Yitong said sincerely.
"You're welcome, we are good friends. If you feel unhappy in the future, just tell me and we will find a way to solve it together." Wen Fang said with concern.
After returning to her apartment, Wang Yitong washed up and lay down in her room. Wu Jing, in the next room, was also there with her boyfriend. Because the house wasn't very soundproof, Wang Yitong could hear any noise at night. Occasionally, she'd hear Wu Jing and her boyfriend's quiet laughter, which was somewhat disturbing. Wang Yitong thought, if her salary were higher, she could rent a separate room instead of sharing, which would be more convenient.
Lying in bed, Wang Yitong's thoughts drifted to her love life. She longed to find someone who would understand and support her, someone with whom she could share every detail of life. Just then, her phone chimed with a QQ message. Wang Yitong picked up the phone and saw it was from Zhang Benyuan.
Zhang Benyuan: "We had a long meeting tonight, and we're only eating now. Did you get some rest?"
Wang Yitong replied: "Brother Yuan, go eat quickly. Good health is the most important thing. Not eating on time can easily cause stomach problems. I'm going to rest."
Zhang Benyuan: "Well, with a friend like you caring about me, it's not too late to go out for dinner now. Good night, sweet dreams."
Wang Yitong's face suddenly flushed when she saw Zhang Benyuan's reply. She couldn't help but recall Zhang Benyuan's recent frequent contact, which had already gone beyond the communication between clients. She felt a little scared but also a little excited, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart.
Wang Yitong gently closed her phone and lay on the bed, her thoughts racing. Gradually, Wang Yitong's thoughts calmed down, and she relaxed and fell asleep, looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow.
