After the two drove away, Zhang Benyuan carefully asked Wang Yitong about her situation today. She told him that she had completed the resignation procedures today and had contacted Mr. Luo to ask her to report to the company tomorrow. Mr. Luo said there was a clerk in the office. Finally, he talked about what happened in the newspaper office that afternoon and the content of her conversation with Wen Fang.
Zhang Benyuan listened carefully, thought for a moment and said, "Tongmei, there are two shopping bags in the back row. One of them contains Bamboo Leaf Green tea that someone gave me, and the other bag contains two bottles of perfume. Bring the tea to the company tomorrow and give it to Mr. Luo; bring one bottle of perfume to the company for your clerk. After all, you will be working together in the future, so if you take something from someone, they won't give it to you.
Furthermore, most people in this society won't tolerate your better-off lives, but they'll also want you to live worse off than they do. Most people will only try to take advantage of others' misfortunes. Therefore, you need to be more protective of yourself. Also, your acquaintance, Fang Jie, is quite a socialite. While you certainly wouldn't want her to harm you, you shouldn't become close friends with her.
Generally speaking, there's competition among colleagues in the same environment and department. True friends are rare, as self-interest is more important. You have a lot to learn, but don't overthink it. I'll protect you."
"I understand. My uncle once told me that the most precious things in life are friendships between classmates and wartime friends. I have very few friends myself, and I only have two good friends from high school. After graduation, I met my roommate Wu Jing and my colleague Wen Fang. They both take good care of me, and I am really grateful to them. I feel a little depressed by what you said." Wang Yitong was a little depressed.
"Sister Tong, that's because you know too few people. You will meet more people in the future. You must remember that no matter what happens, you still have me. I won't harm you." Zhang Benyuan held Yitong's hand with his right hand.
"Ayuan, if even you lie to me in the end, I really don't know what else I can believe." Wang Yitong looked at him and said.
After hearing this, Zhang Benyuan suddenly became nervous. After thinking for a while, he said, "Tongmei, you can trust me 100%. I definitely like you and care about you. How could I let you down?"
Their communication was natural and smooth, their tone full of concern and understanding for each other.
As they were talking, the car had already arrived at the residential parking lot. Zhang Benyuan felt his phone vibrate. He picked it up and saw it was Yan Pingping calling. He said to Wang Yitong casually, "Baby, go upstairs first. I'll take a call and deal with something. I'll come up later." Wang Yitong got out of the car and took the elevator upstairs by herself.
Zhang Benyuan picked up the phone, and Yan Pingping's voice came from the other end: "Zhang Benyuan, how is your company doing? If things really don't work out, go back to Shancheng. Mom and Dad both have suitable jobs. Also, go directly back to Shancheng for this National Day holiday, and don't go back to your hometown to see your dad. It just so happens that after the old man took office, some of his important students came to see him this time, so I'd like to introduce you to each other."
Listening to Yan Pingping's tone of voice, Zhang Benyuan was filled with resistance. At this moment, he could only say, "I understand. Where's Shiyu? I want to talk to her."
"I have an appointment here. My aunt sent her to my mother's place. You call the old house. I'll hang up first." There are more and more work-related social engagements now. With the old man entering the officialdom, Yan Pingping's position has also been rising. She has also begun to be indifferent to emotions and is more enthusiastic about power.
Zhang Benyuan called his mother-in-law's home phone, and Aunt Chen, the nanny of Yan Pingping's parents, answered the phone. After the call was connected, the two parents talked for a while, and Shiyu said that her grandmother bought her a lot of Barbie dolls and she wanted to play with them, and then hung up the phone.
His daughter has been spoiled to the skies by her mother-in-law, who says, "They're his only child, so who else should they spoil?" Since they got married and had a child, Yan Pingping rarely brings the child back to visit their father, and the child now dislikes rural life. He's growing increasingly dissatisfied with Yan Pingping's family, yet at the same time, he's accepting their resources to build his own company, believing that with hard work, he can eventually change everything.
Zhang Benyuan hung up the phone, feeling a bit heavy-hearted. He shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself, "When will I ever be able to truly make my own decisions about my life?" He leaned back in his car seat, lost in thought for a moment.
He thought of Wang Yitong, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that there was still a home for him and Wang Yitong in Chengdu. She was a breath of fresh air in his life, allowing him to feel a sense of simplicity and beauty in this complex world.
He got off the car and took the elevator to Wang Yitong's residence. Inside, Wang Yitong was washing her clothes, along with her newly bought four-piece suit, in the washing machine. He felt a sense of warmth watching her busy figure. In Shancheng's home, where everything was taken care of by a nanny, he felt like an outsider.
He also thought that this relationship could not be destroyed and known to the people in the mountain city, so he had to treat it more carefully.
"Tongmei, take a rest on the sofa. Let's watch TV and listen to music together." He called to Wang Yitong.
The two then leaned on the sofa, Wang Yitong peeled peaches for both of them, and the two ate peaches while watching TV.
"Tongtong, I won't be with you this National Day. You have to make your own arrangements. I'm going out for a while. Also, I need to get a new number. I'll send it to you tomorrow and you won't need the old one anymore. If you have anything to say, just text me. I'll get back to you after I see the message.
Besides, you said you want to upgrade your college degree, so you can start looking into how to take the test soon. You can take advantage of the long driver's license holiday to practice driving. You've just graduated and your memory is still good, so this is a good time to learn. I'm a bit overwhelmed by the amount of time I have to study now."
