Chapter 262 Memories
Dong Yuan changed into a red halter dress. She hadn't had the chance to wear this dress since she bought it a long time ago, and she usually wore it relatively conservatively at school.
Having booked a spot in advance on their mobile phones, the two drove over slowly.
The hot pot restaurant was where the four of them often had dinner together during their college years. The price was not expensive, and even very cost-effective, but the taste was very good.
Although Wen Yan is rich, he doesn't insist on eating at a star-rated hotel. Some hot pots cost tens of thousands of yuan, but the key is actually the ingredients. The taste of all hot pots is not particularly different.
She is rich but not a sucker. Cheap ingredients are just a matter of personal preference. In her opinion, organic ingredients are not necessarily better than farm-grown food.
"By the way, none of us thought that you would become a teacher. During your graduation internship that year, you suddenly told the group that you were planning to sign up for the teacher qualification exam. We were all shocked. We all thought that you would be like Anyang, working in a foreign company and becoming a white-collar worker." After all, Dong Yuan had been trying every possible way to make money.
It’s not that being a teacher is bad, but according to Dong Yuan’s previous thinking, a teacher’s salary is just enough to make ends meet, while a white-collar worker in a foreign company would earn millions of dollars a year.
Dong Yuan's family is not well off, so after earning money from part-time jobs, she is also helping her family, so everyone agrees that she will choose a high-paying job.
With a gentle and charming face and a slight smile on her lips, she first fished out a piece of yellow throat from the pot and passed it to Wen Yan, who was talking across from her but never put down her chopsticks. "Those four years in college were the most fulfilling and happiest four years for me. Because I could earn money myself, I never felt hungry again.
When I was in high school, I lived in the school dormitory and had little living expenses, often just a steamed bun. Before that, I might have chosen a high-paying job so that my family could live better and have a more affluent life.
But after two months of internship, I seriously asked myself, do I really like this job? Can I really support my future career without passion? So after careful consideration, I chose to become a teacher.
After a pause, seeing that the pot was almost empty, she poured more tender beef in. Wen Yan had been listening to her carefully, being a qualified listener, but he never stopped talking.
When it comes to eating hotpot, it is more enjoyable to eat it with your best friend. If you eat hotpot with a man, he will only control you. She thinks hotpot must be spicy, but Meng Qinghe thinks that eating too much spicy hotpot is too bad for the stomach, so he won't let her indulge too much. If she is craving it, she will only order a slightly spicy base.
When I went out today, I still faced the man's helpless eyes and carefully reminded him, "Eat less and don't eat spicy food."
He said that, but he knew in his heart that Wen Yan would definitely not listen to him.
Of course, just looking at the two of them sweating while eating, you can tell that this hot pot is exactly what Meng Qinghe expected.
"The idea of becoming a teacher came to me from the part-time job you introduced to me. I have been teaching foreign students on the platform for four years. In the beginning, I could only accept students with low tuition fees. Later, I could earn enough to cover my living expenses for a year in a month. Even though the market is saturated now, the threshold has been lowered, resulting in lower tuition fees.
However, for someone like me who has many years of experience and graduates from a professional college with guaranteed teaching quality, the tuition fees are still very high. Therefore, while I am satisfied financially, it also gives me more confidence to choose my own hobbies.
It didn't make sense that I could teach foreigners but not children. So, after receiving my internship certificate that year, I signed up for a teacher's certificate and prepared for the teacher's qualification exam. The certificate was relatively easy for a school like ours, and the teacher's qualification exam was also easy after I signed up for a professional tutoring class.
Her words were full of confidence, and Wen Yan was very pleased with Dong Yuan's words.
Although she used to feel a little inferior about her family, Dong Yuan never doubted her own intelligence. After all, there are only a few evildoers like Wen Yan in the world.
You know, her college entrance examination score is among the top 50 in their province.
"That's great. I have never doubted your abilities. In my heart, Dong Yuanyuan has always been excellent." This is the truth. If it weren't for the system's transformation, she wouldn't have suddenly increased her IQ even if she was reborn today.
People like Dong Yuan, even if their family was ordinary when they were young, are talented people with high IQ and education, and they will definitely have a good future.
Hearing Wen Yan's praise, the smile on Dong Yuan's face not only deepened, but also said that the best friend is someone who will believe in you unconditionally and encourage all your decisions.
Although Wen Yan was abroad at the time, after her three good friends in the group learned that she planned to become a teacher, they did not question her decision. Instead, they believed that she would definitely get what she wanted and become the best teacher.
Of course she is now.
During the time when she was taking the civil service exam, the three of them often cared about her. Yu Yan had just broken up with her boyfriend, and after a few days of confusion, she told everyone that she was planning to study abroad for a master's degree. At that time, there were only two people left in the dormitory, one preparing for the IELTS exam and the other preparing for the teacher recruitment exam.
Watching the food on the table gradually being cleared away, Dong Yuan looked at her friend who seemed to have changed and yet seemed to have remained the same. Well, she was still as good at eating as ever.
The two of them came to eat hot pot, and Wen Yan ordered all the meat dishes. In Chen Yuyan's words, if you don't order meat and only eat vegetarian food when eating hot pot, you might as well go back to the dormitory and eat vegetable leaves.
After the baptism of time, they have changed, but also have not changed. What has changed is that everyone has matured and has their own lives and careers. What has not changed is that they are still best friends. When they are sad, happy, or in need of help, they will think of each other. Although the distance is far, their hearts are very close.
The four of them often have nothing to do so they play mahjong online, and there is never one missing.
It is said that there are more or less some minor conflicts among the four of them, such as small teams or who is better with whom, but none of these four have such conflicts.
"You have to be my bridesmaids when I get married. That's a deal." The four of them had agreed that whoever got married first would have the other three be bridesmaids.
"By the way, we all thought that you and Senior Meng would get married after graduation, but first Senior Meng went abroad for graduate studies, and then you went out too. At that time, some people in the school speculated whether you had broken up." The relationship between the two was also something they had witnessed along the way. Meng Qinghe really held Wen Yan in the palm of his hand.
It is also because of these two people that everyone believes that beautiful love really exists in this world.
Looking at the ring on her hand, she stretched it out to show off to her friend, "Here, it's my boyfriend's engagement ring. He does want it, but we're both more rational people. We're just graduates and we're still immature. Our future isn't clear yet, and we don't have the confidence to start a family yet."
"It's just right now. Everything is the best arrangement, isn't it?" Her face was full of happiness. Thinking of her man, although he controlled her a lot, she still forgave him generously. Humph.
It is said that to tell whether a woman is happy or not, you can tell by looking at the condition on her face, just like Wen Yan now.
Holding Wen Yan's hand and looking at the huge purple diamond in her hand, she felt the love of a rich person. Such happiness was really enviable, but she was living a good life now, wasn't she? As for love, she believed that she would get it one day.
