It has been a year and a half since Lin Shuying graduated. She has a job and a house, and has established a firm foothold in the Shanghai market.
A university graduate with youthful and beautiful looks and outstanding abilities, she owns a house and a car (bicycle). Not only in her hometown of Sihe Village, but even in this big city, she is very popular among single young men of marriageable age.
Even if the beautiful girl has already been taken, there is still room for someone to steal her away.
"Hi, Emma~ Good morning~" A young man with shiny hair, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a Xu Wenqiang-style coat and scarf, walked to Lin Shuying's workstation with a cup of coffee.
"Here, Emma, this is the coffee I made for you. A cup in the morning will make you feel great all day long~"
Emma is Shuying's English name. After all, it is a foreign trade company, and it is inconvenient to communicate with foreigners without an English name.
But in today's foreign trade companies, colleagues still call each other by their Chinese names. After all, they are all Chinese. Lin Shuying felt goose bumps on her hands wrapped in her coat when she heard people being called in such a greasy way so early in the morning.
"Mr. Li, good morning." Lin Shuying was busy with her work with an expressionless face, saying something to refuse, "I'm not used to drinking coffee. Thank you for your kindness, you can drink it yourself."
"Nao nao nao~ Why are you so formal? Just call me Lio~ We are colleagues, don't be so polite~" Li Ao raised his index finger and touched Lin Shuying's forehead, which scared her so much that she jumped away.
"What are you doing!" Lin Shuying angrily slammed the documents in her hand onto the table. "Li Ao, you are already harassing me. If you continue like this, I will tell the director!"
When he heard she was going to tell the director, Li Ao lost his greasy smile. "What harassment? You should be responsible for your words! I brought you coffee out of kindness, and you accuse me of harassing you?!"
"If this isn't harassment, what is it? Xiaolin said she doesn't drink coffee and thanked you. And you're still hanging around. What's the point of posting nonsense here so early in the morning?!"
The older woman at the workstation opposite Lin Shuying had been holding back for a long time, but because Lin Shuying hadn't said anything before, she was afraid that if Li Ao was really interested in the girl, it would be bad for her. Now that Lin Shuying had taken the initiative to lose her temper, she immediately stood on Lin Shuying's side.
"Xiao Lin told us on her first day at work that she had a girlfriend. You young people are saying that as long as you're not married, you have a chance... but that only works if the girl is willing to give you a chance!
Anyone can see that the girl doesn't like you, yet you keep coming over here! This is harassment! What were you doing with that finger you just stretched out? Were you planning to chop it off and give it to us for lunch?
If you want to find a partner, look for one seriously. Don't come here all day long and do all sorts of greasy things. Which girl would like someone like you?
Why are you glaring at me? Am I afraid of you? Don't think you're anything special just because you've had a few days of Western education. Who hasn't been out here? If you come and harass the girls here again, if they don't report it to the director, I will!"
Sister Ling is a veteran here. She has been here since the Foreign Trade Bureau was first established. Even the director has to give her some face. Li Ao didn't even dare to scold her back. He could only glare at Lin Shuying hatefully, then turn around and go back to his workstation.
When he left, he didn't forget to take the cup of coffee away.
Sister Ling rolled her eyes at his back, then turned around and whispered to Lin Shuying.
"Xiao Lin, don't be afraid. If you're unhappy, just say it directly. There's no need to endure it!"
"That's right!" Another older sister came over and echoed.
"Let me tell you, these young men are all mentally unstable. You girls think you're holding back for the sake of peace in the office, but those guys don't see it that way. They think you're playing hard to get! Your brains are all rotten!"
"If you're angry, just let it out! Don't hold it in!"
"Yeah!" Lin Shuying nodded seriously, thanking them for their help and saying she would never tolerate it again. "I've also told my boyfriend recently that he'll pick me up from work from now on."
"Hey, that's right! You always said you had a partner, but you never let anyone see your partner, so those people thought you were lying!"
Lin Shuying's boyfriend is named Huang Xinli. He is a classmate of Lin Shuying and a native of Shanghai. He is also engaged in the foreign trade industry, but not in the same unit as Lin Shuying.
When it was time to get off work, Lin Shuying packed up her things and ran downstairs, and saw Huang Xinli standing at the door of the Foreign Trade Building. His well-ironed cashmere coat made his already tall figure even more handsome.
"Xinli!" Lin Shuying trotted over to him, revealing a faint dimple. "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Huang Xinli glanced at his girlfriend, curved his eyes, took her hand and walked to the side, "It's okay, I just got here not long ago."
"How about coming to my house for dinner today? My mom said yesterday that she would make your favorite pork ribs and rice cakes."
"Ah, it's not good to always go to your house for dinner..."
"What's wrong with that? We're a couple. You're living alone in Shanghai now, so what's wrong with you coming to my house for dinner? When I go to Yue City, I'll definitely have to eat at my mother-in-law's house."
"What mother-in-law? You are so shameless!"
"Well, I think people should not be too shameless, otherwise one day someone might steal your partner away without you knowing."
"! I'm telling you! That Li Ao came to harass me again today! But he got scolded by Sister Ling across from me..."
…
Huang's parents were very pleased with their son's marriage. Although the Lin family still had a rural household registration, Lin Shuying was a college graduate, had her household registration moved to Shanghai, and worked at a foreign trade company. Personally, she was already quite good.
Moreover, although the Lin family is rural, they are not poor. Lin Guoqing and Shen Chunhua are not just self-employed individuals. They both have a certain social status. Shen Chunhua also bought a house in Shanghai for Lin Shuying, just in case their company can allocate a house in the future...
In comparison, Lin Shuying's conditions are no worse than Huang Xinli's.
Not to mention that Huang Xinli felt a sense of crisis when he knew that someone in the foreign trade company wanted to poach his employees, even Huang's father and mother were afraid that their future daughter-in-law would be snatched away by someone else.
Huang's mother urged Huang Xinli to go to Yue City with Shuying whenever he was free, so that they could finally finalize the marriage. Although it is now advocated to marry and have children later, Lin Shuying was only 21 years old after the Chinese New Year.
But they can get engaged first, go through all the necessary formalities, and then after they get engaged, there can’t be anyone trying to poach them, right?
