Qiu Mang lowered her eyes, not wanting Shi Nan to know that she owed over 500,000 yuan. "No need, Sister Nan, I'll pay it back myself eventually!"
Shi Nan knew she was stubborn, so she didn't force her.
After thinking for a moment, Shi Nan suddenly spoke up: "High-paying jobs are hard to find these days. If you don't mind, our company's technical department is short of an assistant. Would you like to give it a try?"
Qiu Mang's eyes lit up, and he asked, "How much per month?"
Shi Nan smiled helplessly, "The internship only pays six thousand, but it'll be eight thousand after you become a full-time employee. I don't know if you can accept this salary, but as someone who's been through it, I think we can't rush things. If you really want to earn more money, you can find a part-time job after work."
Qiu Mang looked up, her eyes shining. This idea was excellent!
The next day, Shi Nan's company started work. The company wasn't big, with only a few dozen people.
As the company's HR, Shi Nan took the time to talk to the boss about Qiu Mang as soon as she arrived at work.
When the boss heard that she was Shi Nan's cousin and had a decent education, he agreed to hire her.
When Qiu Mang received Shi Nan's call, she could hardly believe it; she had found a job without even needing an interview.
"Amang, the company rented employee dormitories for me. I'm living in one now, a three-bedroom apartment. There's one room available. Would you like to move in with me?"
Upon hearing about the staff dormitory, Qiu Mang's eyes lit up immediately. "Great! I'll make preparations in the next couple of days."
After hanging up the phone, Qiu Mang started packing her luggage. After thinking it over, she felt that since she was leaving, she should say goodbye to Lu Yanting.
She picked up the phone and called Lu Yanting to ask if he was free that evening, saying she wanted to cook him a meal herself.
Lu Yanting raised an eyebrow slightly. Why would someone offer to cook for him for no reason? Was this some kind of attempt to curry favor with him?
Could it be that this girl specially cooked a meal to express her gratitude for his saving her life?
Or perhaps... after experiencing the harsh realities of society, she no longer wants to strive and is seeking a sugar daddy/sugar baby?
With this in mind, Lu Yanting readily agreed.
In the afternoon, Lu Yanting instructed someone to buy a limited edition necklace, which he brought back when he left work in the evening.
As soon as he stepped into the house, he saw that the dining table was already laden with a sumptuous meal, and Qiu Mang was bringing out the last pot of soup from the kitchen. The man's lips curled up, he took off his coat, and slowly walked over.
"You're back just in time! Wash your hands and have dinner!" Qiu Mang said with a smile.
Seeing her beaming smile, Lu Yanting felt even more expectant.
After washing their hands, the two sat facing each other across the table. This was the first time they had dined together since their cold war. Qiu Mang used serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in Lu Yanting's bowl.
"Mr. Lu, please try this. I know people in Guangcheng love sweet and sour pork ribs. I wonder if my version suits your taste?"
A tender and juicy pork rib fell into Lu Yanting's bowl, and the man smiled slightly.
He picked up a rib and took a bite, and had to admit that this woman was indeed quite talented at cooking.
"Not bad!" the man said.
"That's good! Try this fish and cola chicken wings!" Qiu Mang said, putting more food into the man's bowl.
Lu Yanting took a few bites, and when he looked up, he saw Qiu Mang resting her chin on her hand, quietly watching him eat.
Lu Yanting frowned as he looked at the mountain of food piled up in his bowl and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Qiu Mang remained calm and said, "This was mainly made for you. You eat first! I have something to tell you after you finish eating."
Lu Yanting raised the corner of his eye, thinking, "Finally, we're getting to the point." He said in a deep voice, "Alright!"
After the man finished speaking, he took out a small red velvet box from his pocket and placed it on the table. Since the other party had said so, he naturally had to show some sincerity.
"I know what you want to say. Since you've made up your mind, I can't treat you unfairly. Here, take this!"
"You knew?" Qiu Mang was somewhat surprised. Did he know that he had found a job and was preparing to move out?
Qiu Mang glanced at the box, then at Lu Yanting, who was smiling, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart.
It turns out he disliked her so much. Upon learning that she was leaving, Lu Yanting's mood not only improved significantly, but he also wanted to give her gifts!
“I know! So, when do we start?” Lu Yanting smiled.
Seeing him laugh even more heartily, Qiu Mang felt inexplicably irritated. "Let's have dinner! I'll leave after dinner!"
"Leave?" Lu Yanting put down his chopsticks, his face full of doubt.
"Yeah, I've bothered you for so many days, and now that I'm finally leaving, you must be very happy, right? I can see your mouth is practically stretched to your ears!" Qiu Mang pouted.
"No...explain yourself, you're not..." He wanted to ask, "Didn't you decide to be with me?" But the words wouldn't come out.
"I found a job, and the company provides dormitory accommodation. I'll move in tonight!" Qiu Mang said.
Upon hearing that she was leaving tonight, Lu Yanting felt inexplicably annoyed. He waved his hand and said, "Fine, fine! Go ahead, go ahead!"
Since he couldn't keep him anyway, Lu Yanting decided to avoid seeing him and not worry about him. He ate a couple of bites, turned around and went back to his room. His good mood from the afternoon had vanished.
Qiu Mang had already packed her luggage in the afternoon. She had very little stuff; her black suitcase contained only a few pieces of clothing.
As Qiu Mang was getting ready to leave, she noticed that the dining table hadn't been cleared yet. After thinking for a moment, she leaned her suitcase against the doorway, rolled up her sleeves, and began to clean up the dishes.
After tidying up, Qiu Mang saw the red velvet box that Lu Yanting wanted to give her on the dining table. She initially wanted to refuse it, but then she remembered that the man had bought it to send her off, so she simply accepted it.
After doing all this, she glanced at the door to the master bedroom. Lu Yanting hadn't come out since returning to his room.
Qiu Mang took a deep breath and knocked on the door. "Mr. Lu! I'm leaving!"
After saying that, he felt that he had been eating and staying at his house for several days for free, and had even borrowed money from others. He felt that he was indebted to him because he had accepted his help.
Qiu Mang softened her voice and said, "Mr. Lu, you are the first person I met in Guangcheng, and I am very grateful for your kindness. Don't worry, I will pay you back the money I owe you as soon as I get my salary. I will transfer the money to you via WeChat then! I..."
Before he could finish speaking, the door was suddenly flung open, and Lu Yanting stood in the doorway wrapped in a bathrobe, his body still exuding the fresh scent of shower gel.
The man held a towel in one hand to dry his hair, but his eyes were fixed on her.
Qiu Mang suddenly remembered the first time they met, when Lu Yanting appeared in front of her in the same way, and her face turned red instantly.
The man took a step forward, and Qiu Mang immediately felt his imposing aura, so she turned around and ran back.
Reaching the door, she grabbed her suitcase and rushed out.
Outside the door, Qiu Mang leaned against the wall and stood there for a long time.
Her cheeks burned like fire, her heart pounded like a drum. She thought about it for a long time and decided that she couldn't stay with that man anymore, otherwise their relationship would only become more and more complicated.
