After examining them for a moment, Zhang Benyuan decided to buy them all, feeling they all suited Wang Yitong. He then asked the clerk to help him choose a bag that could carry his laptop. The clerk recommended a large tote and a large backpack with a pink-trimmed print, both practical and stylish, and he happily bought them.
The five bags cost just over 20,000 yuan, but Zhang Benyuan didn't think it was expensive. He secretly decided to research the brands more carefully next time and buy her a better gift. He left the mall with his overflowing shopping bags, his heart filled with anticipation for Wang Yitong. He imagined her delighted face when she received the gifts, and a smile crept into his face.
It was already past 9 o'clock when he returned to the community. He was carrying the shopping bags and opened the door, only to see Wang Yitong sleeping on the sofa.
Zhang Benyuan tiptoed into the living room, afraid to wake Wang Yitong. He looked at her peaceful sleeping face, his heart filled with warmth. He carefully set the shopping bags aside, then walked over to Wang Yitong and gently covered her with a blanket.
Zhang Benyuan sat quietly on the sofa, staring at Wang Yitong. After a while, Wang Yitong slowly opened her eyes. She saw Zhang Benyuan sitting next to her and showed a look of surprise on her face.
"When did you come back?" she asked.
"I just came back a while ago, and seeing that you were asleep, I didn't wake you up." Zhang Benyuan replied gently.
Wang Yitong noticed the shopping bag next to her, "Is this for me?" she asked.
Zhang Benyuan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I still remember that when you came to deliver newspapers to me, you were still carrying a cartoon bag, which was not suitable for you at work. I bought it at the mall on the way. I hope you like it."
Wang Yitong smiled happily. She stood up, opened the shopping bag, and took out beautiful bags one by one.
"I like it very much, thank you!" She put down her bag and hugged Zhang Benyuan tightly. They leaned on the sofa and watched TV, and she leaned on his shoulder.
Wang Yitong hesitated slightly, and said softly with a hint of caution: "Brother Yuan, can I call you A Yuan?"
Zhang Benyuan was slightly taken aback by this question. Deep in his memory, only his mother had ever addressed him with such affection. Sadly, his mother passed away from illness when he was a child, and his father, a substitute teacher in a poor mountainous village, couldn't afford to provide her with optimal medical care. From then on, he secretly told himself he would never live like that again. Thanks to the help of Yan Pingping's family, his father was promoted from substitute teacher to full-time employee, transferring to teach in town. At a time when many substitute teachers in rural areas were not receiving the rewards they deserved, he felt deeply the benefits of power.
Zhang Benyuan's eyes gradually became gentle, and he replied softly: "Tongtong, I like you calling me Ayuan very much." At that moment, he felt a warm love flowing in his heart.
"Ayuan, last time you asked me to think about what I wanted to do. After careful consideration, I decided to work as an office clerk at Gaosheng Bridge, as you mentioned.
On the one hand, this would allow me to purchase social security, providing a guarantee for the future; on the other hand, the distance is relatively close. I also want to use my spare time to upgrade my academic qualifications. I once knew a senior who achieved this through a college-to-bachelor's degree program at his workplace. I, too, hope to improve my academic qualifications.
I also plan to find time to get a driver's license. When I was in college, my family opposed my driving. Partly because we didn't have the money, and partly because they thought driving was a man's thing, and I couldn't afford a car. But I disagreed. I see driving as a practical skill. If I lose my job, I can always drive a taxi. "Hehe," Wang Yitong smiled, her eyes gleaming with longing and anticipation for the future.
Zhang Benyuan listened quietly, feeling Wang Yitong's sincerity and positive attitude towards life. He gently patted Wang Yitong on the shoulder and said encouragingly, "Tongtong, I believe you can achieve your goals. You have a clear plan and determination to work hard, which is very rare. Whether it's work, study, or learning to drive, I will always support you."
"Thank you, Ayuan. I also bought some books online today. After the landlord agreed, I also found a flower shop to customize flower boxes and green plants for the balcony. This cost 2,000 yuan." Wang Yitong continued.
Zhang Benyuan smiled. He took Wang Yitong's hand and walked to the balcony together, gazing into the distance. He said with emotion, "Tongtong, looking at this empty balcony, I can already imagine it being decorated with colorful flowers and green plants in the future. Then, we can be together in this little world, enjoying the sunshine and the fragrance of flowers, and feeling the beauty of life." Wang Yitong smiled sweetly and held Zhang Benyuan's hand tightly.
Zhang Benyuan then said he needed to make a phone call. He went to the bedroom, closed the door, and called Brother Li. "Brother Li, this is Benyuan. Sorry to contact you this evening. Regarding the job you mentioned last time, my friend said your friend Gao Shengqiao's job is more suitable for his sister, especially since she lives nearby. When would it be convenient for her to come over for an interview?"
Mr. Li thought for a moment and said, "After you told me last time, I contacted my friend. You can come over anytime. The current salary is 2,000 yuan a month, with weekends off. The probation period is 3 months. After becoming a regular employee, it will be 2,500 yuan. There will be various benefits and subsidies during holidays. The salary will increase according to the company's situation in the future. I will send you the phone number of my friend Mr. Luo later. You can ask his sister to contact him tomorrow and say that I introduced you.
By the way, I heard you're planning to take over the resettlement housing in the North District to make short-term rental apartments. You can contact me for renovation and construction.
"We can work together on this later. When the time comes, you can have someone send me the design drawings and quotations. However, this project requires you to advance part of the funds first. We will discuss the details in the company when the time comes. I won't disturb your rest, Brother Li. I still have some work to take care of." Zhang Benyuan replied.
