Chapter 334 Gold Digger 7
She typed incredibly fast, barely needing to think about the plot. Once she had written 10,000 words, she sent it out. Seeing that it was getting late, she decided to turn off the lights and go to sleep.
Why aren't you asleep yet?
Yu Ruidong looked up from the computer screen. "You make money using this?"
Ning Yan smiled at him, "That's right, I studied Chinese literature, so it's normal for me to earn some hard-earned money by writing online novels."
Yu Ruidong looked at her with starry eyes, "You're really amazing. Such a long paragraph makes my eyes dizzy just looking at it, let alone writing it."
I never passed my essays when I was in school.
"Everyone has their own strengths. You're just not good at studying, while I can't stand hardship. I can't do a single brick-moving task."
"How can they be the same?"
Ning Yan: "It's the same for me. If it weren't for you working to support my schooling, I wouldn't have been able to finish college no matter how good I was at studying. Don't you think you're very important?"
She wasn't exaggerating at all. If it weren't for Yu Ruidong taking care of the original owner, she wouldn't have been able to finish high school, let alone have the chance to go to university.
Yu Ruidong chuckled at her words, "What you said seems to make some sense!"
Haha, if anyone dares to say I'm incompetent in the future, I'll say I do have some skills, after all, I paid for my girlfriend's university education.
"Yes, tell them that! It's true."
After putting the computer away, Ning Yan glanced at the grinning man and kissed him on the cheek. "Good boy, go to sleep. You have to go to the construction site tomorrow. It's getting late."
Yu Ruidong's eyes reddened with excitement. They had been dating for over six years. It was back in high school that Ning Yan took the initiative to hold his hand. Later, whenever he wanted to do something, she would say that they had to wait until they got married.
He knew his girlfriend was being chaste, so he always behaved properly, and they never had any intimate gestures during the years they dated.
This is the first time his girlfriend has kissed him today.
He admits he's shameless, he's despicable, and he still wants more!
But my girlfriend had already gone to bed.
He had no choice but to lie obediently beside her, occasionally touching his heart under the covers and then touching his face that had just been kissed.
I lay down for a while before I fell asleep.
The next day, the two parted ways after having a simple breakfast.
Yu Ruidong continued working on the construction site, carrying bricks, while Ning Yan went to visit the old master craftsman.
Mr. Qian was cleaning in the yard when someone knocked on the gate.
Who is it?
"Grandpa, I've come to ask for a bowl of water."
Master Qian chuckled. These days, it's not uncommon to see people begging for water or food.
But there are also scammers.
However, it's absolutely impossible for this person to swindle money from him.
Anyway, life was boring, so he decided to find some fun for himself and went to open the door.
To my surprise, when the door opened, there stood a very pretty young girl.
"Hello, sir, I'm busy."
"No rush, no rush. Please sit down, I'll get you some water."
Ning Yan had already inquired with the residents of this alley; the old man was an excellent cook and had even prepared state banquets back in the 1980s.
He had two sons and a daughter, but unfortunately none of them were willing to learn his craft. In a fit of anger, he retired early and lived with his wife in this small courtyard house, ignoring all his sons and daughters.
However, Mr. Qian's wife passed away two years ago, and he now lives alone.
Before long, the old man brought Ning Yan a cup of hot water. There was a stone table and chairs in the courtyard. Master Qian put the water on the stone table and gestured for Ning Yan to sit down.
"Young lady, what brings you here today? Just tell me." He felt that the young girl in front of him didn't seem like a liar.
Ning Yan said frankly, "To be honest, I came here today because I've heard so much about you."
Hearing about her reputation? Did this girl ask him to come out of retirement and cook for her?
Master Qian's expression lost its initial friendliness.
But then he heard Ning Yan say, "My surname is Ning, my name is Ning Yan, I am a student at Zhongda University, and I will graduate next summer."
I had a boyfriend in high school, but unfortunately, he wasn't a good student and started working early. He earned all my tuition fees for more than three years of university.
But the work on the construction site is too hard, so I wanted him to learn a trade, and that's how I found out about you.
"You want your partner to learn to cook with me?"
Ning Yan nodded heavily, "Yes. Moreover, he had no prior training, only physical strength, so it was indeed a bit of a waste."
But as long as you're willing to take him in, you can teach him however you like, no matter how hard or tiring it is. My boyfriend might be a little slow-witted, but he's definitely obedient.
Master Qian was extremely surprised. Over the years, many people had wanted to learn cooking from him, and he didn't want his skills to go to waste.
But his approach to accepting apprentices is different from others.
When others take on apprentices, they learn while doing odd jobs and get paid.
He took on apprentices who would revolve around him every day, making his days dull and boring, and he had no income.
The key point is that he is extremely strict in educating his apprentices. They practice horse stance, turn sand, and chop potatoes into bowls to practice their knife skills all day long. Two of them couldn't stand it and left after only two months.
His son even made sarcastic remarks, so he got angry and refused to take on any more apprentices.
After his wife passed away, his life became increasingly dull and tasteless. But after what this girl said today, he really started thinking about taking on an apprentice again. At least, the house would be more lively.
Moreover, this girl is studying at Sun Yat-sen University, and she hasn't given up on her boyfriend who works as a construction worker. She's a good person.
Her partner must be quite good too. The old man is very picky about who he takes on as an apprentice, okay?
Absolutely no one with questionable character!
People can be greedy and lazy, but those are minor issues.
Everyone knows how comfortable it is to stay in a comfortable place, and everyone wants to eat well, but you can't make mistakes on important matters; these are matters of principle.
However, he couldn't agree so easily.
“My tuition to learn cooking from me is very expensive.”
Ning Yan smiled. The old man was clearly already tempted; wasn't he just testing her on purpose?
"Tell me how much money you need, and I'll prepare it."
Master Qian remembered clearly that the girl had said that her boyfriend earned the money for her college education by working as a bricklayer, which meant that their family was not well-off. So it would be inappropriate for him to ask for too much, and it would be ineffective to ask for too little.
After thinking for a while, he held up three fingers.
"It's 30,000 a year. If you quit halfway, you won't get a penny back. I said you can only become a master after you've completed your apprenticeship. You can't go out and embarrass this old man if you don't master the skills."
"Oh, right, I still need to assess him. If he's not cut out for it, no matter how skilled I am, I can't teach him."
Ning Yan was delighted to hear this: "It's our good fortune that you're so responsible. However, my boyfriend still has to work on the construction site these next few days. He can only quit after he gets his wages at the end of the month. This is something we agreed on with the foreman, and we can't break our promise."
"Then have him come over tonight. I'll test him. It won't take long."
Ning Yan nodded, "Okay!"
That was settled. After leaving the Qian family, Ning Yan sent a message to Yu Ruidong.
Thank you Lily for the 500 Qidian Coins!
