Yue Ting was genuinely happy for Wei Zhu. They used to be crammed into such a small dormitory. One of them had no education and had severed ties with her family, while the other was being exploited by her family and had no bright future. But now, Wei Zhu had obtained a bachelor's degree and had been promoted and received raises all the way. Wei Zhu's family had finally changed their attitude and even gave her the opportunity to pass the civil service exam.
Moreover, Wei Zhu found true love. When she heard that Jing Jun had twice gone to the cemetery to keep watch during the New Year, she felt a chill. She could tell that Jing Jun was not a simple person, but she did not expect him to be so petty and scheming.
If Wei Zhu had agreed to Jing Jun's advances back then, she wouldn't have had such a bright future.
How wonderful it is now! Zhuang Bo is a thoughtful and caring person. Both of them will be working in the system from now on, and they won't have to worry about making a living. This kind of life, where you can see the future clearly, is the most relaxed and comfortable life.
"Congratulations!" Yue Ting stood up and hugged Wei Zhu. "You're amazing! You passed on your first try. I heard that many people fail several times."
"I've been preparing for over a year, and so many people have helped me with my studies. If I still fail, wouldn't I be letting all your hard work go to waste?" After being officially admitted, Wei Zhu felt much more at ease, and her whole being seemed to be glowing. Her complexion was incredibly good, partly due to the delicious food from Song Xia and the nourishment of her love with Zhuang Bo.
"That's not quite right. How many people who take the exam aren't well-prepared? You're just that good enough."
Zhuang Bo took the ribbon off Wei Zhu's head, and the smile on his face never faded. According to the plan, they could get married this year!
"Have you rented a place yet?"
"We've rented it. It's a two-bedroom apartment in a nice neighborhood. The landlord offered a reasonable price, and most importantly, it's close to our workplaces, just a few minutes' walk away."
"Why don't you rent a bigger one?" Song Xia invited them to eat. "That way, when they get married and have children, Zhuang Bo's father and the children will each have their own room."
"We're not in a rush to have children. Even if we have children, a two-bedroom apartment will be enough for the first few years when they live with us."
"You can decide for yourselves."
Yue Ting asked curiously, "Aren't you planning to buy a house now?"
“We want to save more money first, and then we can make a bigger down payment when we have a child. When our housing provident fund is enough to cover the loan, the pressure won’t be so great.”
"Too."
"What about you? I heard you say you were looking at houses last time?"
“Hmm.” Yue Ting’s smile deepened. “Pei Xin and I went to look at them together. I’m buying a two-bedroom apartment by myself. With my current salary and commission, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
"Wow, you've only been working in the provincial capital for a short time, and you've already bought your own house. Pei Xin, are you going to buy one too?"
"It's mainly because our performance was good last year, so the commissions were high, and the price of a two-bedroom apartment wasn't that high."
Pei Xin nodded: "I also plan to buy a two-bedroom apartment as my premarital property. It will be a place for my parents to stay when they come to visit. After I get married, when my parents don't want to live there anymore, the apartment can be rented out. I'm not as capable as Yue Ting, whose parents paid the down payment. But I don't have any problem paying the mortgage myself."
"That's great!" Wei Deng exclaimed. Come to think of it, he was the only man sitting here today, and he was also the most useless one.
"That's really great." Song Xia was genuinely happy for these younger people. "Come on, let me toast you."
"Auntie, we should be the ones respecting you; you are the role model we should all learn from."
The dinner table was filled with laughter and joy, and everyone's face was beaming with happiness.
Meanwhile, Mo Ru at school wasn't so happy. After breaking up with Wei Deng, her quality of life plummeted. She heard that the boys' dormitory was getting new dishes every week. Although her roommates didn't openly express their dissatisfaction, they were all secretly mocking her for having no taste.
Although Wei Deng isn't the most outstanding man, he's still quite good-looking, and he treats Mo Ru well. I don't know what she's up to.
Sometimes they couldn't stand it and would often indirectly ask Wei Deng for things. They were all students, how much money could they possibly have? And whether it was a holiday or his birthday, she never prepared anything for Wei Deng. No wonder Wei Deng wanted to break up with her. He was a college student, not a fool.
I really want to eat those dishes that Wei Deng brought to the snack shop that aren't sold there! I wonder if Wei Deng would agree to date them now.
Mo Ru was indeed feeling a bit tight in her chest, but she couldn't bring herself to pursue Wei Deng again. Besides, if she were to back down first, even if they got back together, wouldn't she have to keep her head down for the rest of her life?
Why should she? There are other men in the world, aren't there? She refuses to believe she can't find someone better! What's so great about this meal? When she's rich in the future, won't there be even better food?
So when Mo Ru saw Wei Deng at school, she always treated him with cold indifference, and Wei Deng acted as if he didn't know her, which made Mo Ru even angrier.
Even if she were to turn back now, Wei Deng might not agree, and she might not be able to stand his current simple life, since he still needs to save money for his sister's dowry.
On the other hand, because she often posts selfies on her WeChat Moments, people who had previously crossed paths with her know that she is doing well now. So, her former colleagues from the factory asked her if she had any job recommendations. After chatting for a while, they also learned that Wei Zhu had passed the civil service exam and were immediately filled with emotion.
"I really didn't expect that the two of them would be doing so well after leaving their jobs."
"Sister Zhang, whose are you talking about?" Kong Yan asked curiously.
"You don't know them? They're two people who worked before you in this position. Speaking of which, your boyfriend Jing Jun pursued them before, but they didn't agree." After saying this, Sister Zhang gave an awkward smile. "Kong Yan, don't mind them. There's nothing between them. That girl just didn't pay much attention to Jing Jun."
Kong Yan's smile was somewhat stiff. What others didn't want, she treasured; that was the difference.
"Sister Zhang, what do you mean by saying they're doing well?"
"One of them studied on her own and got a bachelor's degree. Now she wears and carries luxury goods every day. The other one passed the civil service exam. Don't you think they're doing well? They're smart. They knew there was no future in working in a factory, so they left early."
"Is the girl Jing Jun likes the one who passed the civil service exam?" Kong Yan had heard some rumors and knew that the girl was a college student and good-looking.
"Yes! This counts as crossing class boundaries! Even if we wanted to take the exam, we wouldn't meet the registration requirements, so we still have to go to school!"
Kong Yan pursed her lips, and after returning to the rented room, the two started arguing again because of Jing Jun's pickiness. So Kong Yan told him that Wei Zhu had passed the civil service exam, and told Jing Jun to stop dreaming.
Jing Jun's face immediately darkened, and he even attacked Kong Yan.
