The two chose a table by the window where they could see the hustle and bustle on the main street.
On a summer afternoon, sitting in an air-conditioned store and watching the hustle and bustle of traffic, Su Tiantian actually felt a little lonely. No matter how prosperous a big city is, it can sometimes be lonely.
Zhang Xiuli said as she looked at the menu: "You can scan the code here to place your order. Take a look at what you want to eat."
Su Tiantian said, "I didn't like the food in the cafeteria at noon today. I didn't eat much. Now I'm hungry. If I hadn't come out with you, I would have ordered takeout."
Su Tiantian ordered hot double skin milk, spicy and sour lemon boneless chicken feet, and fried king oyster mushrooms, while Zhang Xiuli ordered snow swallow peach gum syrup and rock-grilled tofu with sauce.
Zhang Xiuli said, "Except for weekends and social events, you eat in the company cafeteria almost every day, right?"
Su Tiantian nodded: "Yes, so sometimes I don't like the food in the dining hall."
Zhang Xiuli said, "Jingze's family runs the largest farm in town, and the dishes there are all good. You ate well on the weekends. If you continue like this, you won't be able to get used to the company meals. Fortunately, you will have to go back to work in a few days."
Su Tiantian said, "I'm alone and too lazy to cook. If I don't eat in the cafeteria, where can I eat? It's a pity that I rarely go to that commercial apartment. The main reason is that I live in the company apartment and it's close to work. Living in the commercial apartment means I have to take a taxi to and from get off work."
Zhang Xiuli said, "It's more convenient to live in the company apartment."
After a while, Zhang Xiuli lowered her voice and said, "She's here."
A woman who looked to be in her thirties appeared at the stairs. She had her hair tied up and was wearing a short-sleeved off-white Chanel-style V-neck dress with a patchwork of colors. The metallic diamond buttons decorated it just right, making her look slim and elegant.
The waiter then brought the food ordered by Su Tiantian and the others.
Zhang Xiuli said: "Tiantian, you really are not afraid of getting fat."
Su Tiantian said: "How can I not be afraid of getting fat? If I get fat, I can lose weight and eat first." She picked up the spoon and started eating the double skin milk.
Ma Wanping also noticed them at this time and slowly walked towards them. She smiled and said, "Xiu Li, what a coincidence?"
Zhang Xiuli stood up and said, "Sister Ping, you're here for afternoon tea too. What a coincidence! Do you want to sit with me?"
Ma Wanping looked at Su Tiantian. At this time, Su Tiantian had long hair draped over her shoulders. She was wearing a light blue lace-up lapel shirt and a high-waisted black skirt. The hem of the shirt was tucked into the skirt, making her look sweet and elegant.
So she nodded: "Okay." Then she sat down in the chair next to Zhang Xiu Li.
Zhang Xiuli said, "Sister Ping, let me introduce you. This is my good friend Su Tiantian, she is the business manager of Dingyao Lighting."
Hearing that it was the business manager of Dingyao Lighting Company, Ma Wanping curled the corners of her mouth slightly with a hint of sarcasm, and then showed an expression of understanding.
Zhang Xiuli continued, "Tiantian, let me introduce you. This is my good sister Ma Wanping, the owner of Zhongshang Electric Appliances."
Su Tiantian's expression was not as enthusiastic as Ma Wanping imagined. She just said lightly, "Hello, boss lady."
Zhang Xiuli said, "Sister Ping, order whatever you want. Everything we ordered is already on the table."
Ma Wanping took out her mobile phone and scanned the code to place an order.
Su Tiantian continued to eat her double-skin milk, took a spoonful, then picked up a piece of salt-fried king oyster mushroom, and said, "Sorry, I'm a little hungry."
Ma Wanping smiled faintly: "Miss Su has a good appetite."
Zhang Xiuli said: "Every time I eat with her, I regret it. She eats whatever she wants, not afraid of getting fat. I eat with her, and I feel happy at the time, but I regret it when I get home."
Su Tiantian said, "You're not fat, boss lady, am I right?"
Ma Wanping said, "Miss Su is right. Xiu Li has always maintained a very good figure."
Su Tiantian said, "Xiu Li, if we were to travel in this weather for about a week, where would you recommend going?"
Zhang Xiuli said, "Aren't you very busy at work? Are you going on a trip?"
Su Tiantian said: "It can be considered as a make-up honeymoon holiday, but it can't be too long, and it's not convenient to go too far."
Zhang Xiuli said, "Aren't you very busy at work? Are you going on a trip?"
Su Tiantian said: "Let's make some plans first. I think next month will be busy, but we have to make time for just two people."
Zhang Xiuli said, "Sister Ping, I remember you went to the grassland last time. It was fun, wasn't it?"
Ma Wanping said: "The scenery is nice, but it's really tiring, and we spend a lot of time on the road."
Su Tiantian said, "I don't plan to go to the grasslands. I like water towns and ancient towns. I also want to go to Province C. My husband used to go to university there."
The waiter brought the food Ma Wanping ordered.
The three women started chatting like this, talking about travel, clothing, etc.
What surprised Ma Wanping was that from beginning to end, Su Tiantian did not mention anything about the order or contract.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Su Tiantian said, "Xiu Li, do you have time to take me back to the company?"
Zhang Xiuli said, "Okay." Then she raised her hand and called the waiter to come over to settle the bill.
Su Tiantian said: "When we get back to Zongxiao City, I'll treat you to a meal."
Zhang Xiuli said, "I'll treat you first. If it weren't for your help, it wouldn't have been so easy to get that order. I'll need you to introduce new customers to me in the future."
Su Tiantian said playfully, "If I don't introduce you to a client, won't you treat me to a meal?"
Zhang Xiuli said, "Please, of course, but you have to accompany me shopping."
The waiter had already brought the bill and payment code. Zhang Xiuli paid the bill. Ma Wanping couldn't help but ask, "Miss Su, won't you talk to me about the order?"
Su Tiantian looked a little uneasy and said, "Your company's order? When I saw the quotes from other sales managers in my company, I felt that it didn't matter whether I signed it or not. The company wouldn't make much profit based on this quote, but it wouldn't affect the salesperson's commission."
Ma Wanping was skeptical: "Don't you want to sign the order?"
Su Tiantian said, "You are very familiar with Xiu Li, right? Ask her if I care about this order."
Zhang Xiuli smiled a little awkwardly.
Su Tiantian said, "I've already resigned from Dingyao Company and will officially leave at the end of the month. I'll start my new job on the first of next month. I really don't mind this little commission. Besides, if I sign this order, I can only pass it on to other colleagues."
Zhang Xiuli said, "Sister Ping, Tiantian has indeed resigned, and she just got married. Her husband's family is well-off, and the commission is just icing on the cake for her."
Ma Wanping was a little curious: "How well-off is your family?"
Zhang Xiuli said, "It's about the same as yours." What she was thinking was, it's better than yours.
Su Tiantian said, "Boss, I'm sorry, I really have to go. I have to work overtime tonight and my colleagues are waiting for me."
Zhang Xiuli stood up with her bag and said, "Sister Ping, we'll be leaving first."
Looking at the backs of Su Tiantian and Zhang Xiuli as they left, Ma Wanping seemed to be thinking about something.
After getting in the car, Zhang Xiuli said, "Tiantian, that's a good move. You're playing hard to get."
