Chapter 373 The Way of Relatives, Qin Wenjun is here
The next day, Li Zhijie went to work at Zhang Wanwan's place and told her about this matter as a joke. The speaker did not mean it, but the listener took it seriously.
When Li Zhijie was about to go back after finishing his work, Zhang Wanwan handed him a red plastic bag and said, "Inside are all the different snacks I made, but the packaging box is not used. My aunt probably won't give them away as gifts. Take them back and let your cousin try them. She should like them."
"That won't do! It's too expensive!" Li Zhijie shook his head without even thinking.
Zhang Wanwan hung the things on his motorcycle without saying anything. "Just take it if I ask you to. Why is there so much trouble? I have the final say on whether the things are expensive or not. It's just a token of my appreciation for our family. Hurry up and go back now, otherwise it will be unsafe to ride a bike in the strong wind at night."
The days are short in winter, and their place is close to the sea, so as soon as it gets dark it's like a typhoon. You don't even need to blow-dry your freshly washed hair; it's almost dry after sitting in the yard for five minutes. There are no small roads in the county town at night, it's pitch black everywhere, and it's really unsafe to go out.
Li Zhijie knew that Zhang Wanwan was determined to ask him to take the things back. He smiled bitterly twice, but finally accepted them as she wished.
Three or four days later, Zhang Wanwan's house was finally completely renovated. Seeing that Qin Wenjun would arrive in a few days, she quickly called Zhang Baiyan to go to the town to buy some furniture and bedding. Since she had provided him with food and lodging, she naturally could not let him down.
After all the things were purchased, within two days, Qin Wenjun really contacted Zhang Baiyan and found Xiqiao Village alone, pulling the suitcase and carrying the bag.
After receiving the news, Zhang Baiyan went to the village entrance to pick someone up. When he saw Qin Wenjun's luggage, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he hurried forward to call for help.
Qin Wenjun looked up and met Zhang Baiyan's puzzled eyes. She smiled, dragged her suitcase towards him, and said embarrassedly: "Thank you for finding me a job and for bothering you to come out and pick me up."
"No, it's okay." Zhang Baiyan said hesitantly, glancing at her things and jokingly said, "You don't even know how my sister's job is, but you dare to quit your job in the city and come here without hesitation. I really don't know whether I should admire you or what to say to you!"
Qin Wenjun seemed a little depressed. She hesitated to speak for several times. Finally, she sighed and said to him, "Actually, I have no choice. Not long after you resigned, the company hired a new manager. Not long after he started working, he said he liked me and wanted to pursue me. I didn't agree, so he kept pestering me. Recently, he has become more and more arrogant. He even threatened me with his year-end bonus, saying that if I didn't agree to be his girlfriend, I would not get this year's year-end bonus.
You know my family's situation. I'm counting on the several thousand yuan in year-end bonus to spend the New Year. If I go back without this year-end bonus, I don't know how to explain to my parents. Saying too much will only make them worry. But if I agree to that manager, I'm unwilling to do so. I want to have some backbone and resign, but I'm worried that I'll have to start all over again.
Thank you for providing me with such a good job when I was in a desperate situation. Apart from anything else, with this salary alone, I don’t have to worry about going home for the New Year.”
She has worked in that company for several years. Her salary has increased from over 2,000 yuan at the beginning to 3,700 yuan now. This is a good salary for a clerk. In addition, she can earn an extra 1,500 yuan per month from her part-time job. If she lives frugally, she can save a lot of money. If it weren't for such an accident, she would not have left the company. It can only be said that fate plays tricks on her.
Zhang Baiyan was filled with righteous indignation after hearing this, and he scolded the manager angrily, but he still didn't feel relieved. Because he had worked in that company before and had the contact information of his colleagues and boss on WeChat, he immediately sent the details of Qin Wenjun's resignation to his boss, sent it to the colleagues group, and forwarded it to every colleague, even to his own circle of friends.
Qin Wenjun was touched but also a little worried when she saw this, "Will you offend people by doing this?"
Zhang Baiyan shook his head nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? I just made the manager's evil deeds public. I didn't do anything else. Who else would hate me except the manager? Besides, I don't rely on them to make money. If they offend me, then so be it. There's nothing to worry about."
Qin Wenjun thought about it and felt that what Zhang Baiyan said made sense, so she let go of the entanglement in her heart and followed Zhang Wanwan to the Zhang family's old house. Seeing her curious face, Zhang Baiyan explained, "My sister returned to her hometown after graduating from college and started her own business. Now her business is booming and the scale is gradually expanding. There is not enough manpower at home. After I resigned, I came back to help her. Now I have a driver's license and help the family deliver goods. Come on, I'll take you in to have a look. It's just that the old house is a bit simple, don't be disgusted."
Qin Wenjun shook his head and replied softly, "My house in my hometown is not as good as yours! Qingpu is close to the sea, and even the villagers in the countryside live better than ours. Ours is close to the mountains, and the villagers have few ways to make money. Most of them are poor, and those who have a little money have already moved out."
As they were talking, the two of them entered the old house.
Qin Wenjun was surprised to see the vegetable patch in the yard. Zhang Baiyan said to her, "Come on, I've arranged a room for you. The house is just covered in dust, but it's windy here so it will dry in a few days. There's no smell. We have a bed and a cabinet, and we've also bought a four-piece set and a quilt and pillow core. You can dry them in the sun later and use them in the evening."
Qin Wenjun nodded, went in and took a look, then said with a smile: "Thank you for your trouble. This house is better than the one I rented before, and it's newly renovated. I'm very satisfied."
When she worked in the city before, the company did not provide food and accommodation, so she shared a private house with a friend for 450 yuan a month, shared equally by the two of them. There were many people living in the dormitory, which was a self-built house. Not only was it smoky, but the soundproofing was also poor. They could hear the people drinking and playing cards in their neighbors' room clearly, but they had no choice but to endure it.
Now that she was here, although it was also a private house, the environment was quiet. Plus, there were no messy residents, it was clean and she felt comfortable.
Seeing that she was satisfied, Zhang Baiyan also breathed a sigh of relief. After she put away her suitcase, he took her to the bakery to meet Zhang Wanwan.
"Little sister, this is my colleague Qin Wenjun."
Zhang Baiyan's voice sounded behind Zhang Wanwan. Zhang Wanwan turned around suddenly and noticed the woman standing next to Zhang Baiyan at a glance. She was tall and slender, about 1.6 meters tall, with beautiful facial features. Her skin was not very white, but it looked quite healthy. Overall, she was a little beauty.
Zhang Wanwan smiled at her.
