Chapter 289 A Short Pain is worse than a Long Pain
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have wanted to go if you had told me earlier. Why would I start a business?" Tang Ling couldn't help but snap her fingers when she heard such a high salary. "This is almost as good as working in a company."
"Help me find a reliable senior schoolmate, and I'll treat you to a meal." Su Jiaojiao saw that this was no problem and smiled, "I'll wait for your good news."
Tang Ling is still very fast in her work.
The next day at lunch, Tang Ling deliberately sat with Su Jiaojiao. "I found a senior for you, Ding Linyu. She said it's almost Chinese New Year and she doesn't want to go back to work at the company. She wants a temporary job. I told her your requirements, and she said it's absolutely fine. She even asked if I wanted to interview."
"As long as you can endure hardship, it's fine." Su Jiaojiao attaches great importance to this. Apart from anything else, shipping requires getting up early. If you can't get up, it won't work.
"Absolutely no problem." Tang Ling patted her chest. "Ding Linyu started working part-time in her freshman year. She earned her tuition all by herself and didn't ask her family for a penny. As soon as I mentioned it, she asked when she would start working again."
"Let's meet in your office this afternoon, and then I'll take her there. Today will be considered as the official start of work." Su Jiaojiao didn't waste any time.
"No problem." Tang Ling smiled. "I think I should just turn my express delivery point into an employment agency. Someone even came to ask me today if I needed any more staff!"
In the afternoon, Su Jiaojiao met Ding Linyu in Tang Ling's office.
It has to be said that Tang Ling is indeed suitable to be a job broker. Ding Linyu wore a washed-out plaid jacket, black corduroy pants, and cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles, and had the temperament of a girl next door.
When Su Jiaojiao met her for the first time, she felt very friendly and even regretted that she should have thought of finding help in college earlier instead of just looking for people from her hometown.
On the way, the two chatted for a while.
Ding Linyu is three years older than Su Jiaojiao. Her hometown is western Shanxi. She has depended on her grandmother since she was a child. During her four years in college, she completed her studies by working part-time.
My biggest wish is to find a good job and bring my grandma to live with us.
"Your wish will come true." Su Jiaojiao was also very moved after hearing this. She also wanted to bring Chen Guilan to live in the imperial capital, but she felt that it would be better for Chen Guilan to stay in Jiao County.
After Ding Mei moved out, she renovated the shop downstairs and asked Chen Guilan to sell clothes in it. It didn't matter how much she sold, she just used it as a way to pass the time.
When she arrived at the power plant's staff quarters, Ding Linyu learned about her daily work tasks and said she felt no pressure at all. She said it was even easier than working in a restaurant.
After looking around the dormitory, he was very satisfied and even immediately picked up a broom to sweep the floor, which made Cai Ting feel embarrassed: "You just arrived, I'll clean it up."
When Cai Ting learned that Ding Linyu was studying accounting, she was overjoyed: "From now on, our accounts will be handed over to you. Bookkeeping is what worries me the most."
"Okay." Ding Linyu whispered, "I still need you to teach me other things."
"No problem." Cai Ting smiled happily as she had a little friend.
After settling Cai Ting, Su Jiaojiao had more free time and attended the gathering of fellow villagers from The Wizard of Oz as scheduled.
For some reason, after returning from the suburban county of Beijing, she always felt that someone was following her. When she looked back, there was nothing.
She even suspected that she was suffering from paranoia.
When Su Jiaojiao arrived, Xu Mengyao had already arrived. She was standing at the door waiting anxiously. When she saw Su Jiaojiao, she immediately rushed over and gave her a big hug: "I'm glad to see you. You're so heartless! You didn't even contact me."
"I came early and missed the high school reunion. I'm sorry." Su Jiaojiao was so focused on making money at the time that she forgot about all these things. From the perspective of her classmates, she was indeed a person with very indifferent emotions.
"I forgive you." Xu Mengyao chuckled. "I knew you wouldn't be so heartless. You have me in your heart. Next year I'll move to Kyoto University City, and then we'll be close."
Wu Peng and Xu Mengyao were both admitted to the University of Finance and Economics next door, but they are in the East Campus, which is a bit far from here and takes more than three hours to get there by car.
The two came together. Wu Peng was very happy to see Su Jiaojiao: "I just called Chen Yi. Chen Yi said he had something to do and would be here soon."
Su Jiaojiao said "oh". She still felt embarrassed when she thought about what happened that night.
The three of them were high school classmates, and they were talking about their high school days. Wu Peng said that Su Jiaojiao was the coldest girl he had ever met, and he didn't dare to talk to her when he met her.
"You don't dare to speak, but you still come to see me." Xu Mengyao poked Wu Peng's arm in a very intimate manner.
Su Jiaojiao suddenly realized.
It turns out that the two of them are in love...
"Jingjiao, how's it like going to college?" Xu Mengyao simply snuggled up to Wu Peng. "Have you ever had a relationship?"
"You all have talked about it, so of course I can't fall behind." Su Jiaojiao knew what was going on at a glance. Wu Peng was Chen Yi's best friend. He was dating Xu Mengyao, so he wanted to match her up with Chen Yi. If she said no, then the topic of tonight would be her and Chen Yi.
What's more, Chen Yi had seen her and Lu Jingyou together that night.
She couldn't help but admit it.
"Really?" Xu Mengyao obviously didn't expect Su Jiaojiao to be in a relationship. She exclaimed in surprise, "Is he from your school? Where is he from? When did you start dating?"
"He's not from our school. He's already working. We've been dating for two or three months!" This was the first time Su Jiaojiao admitted to someone that she was in a relationship. Wu Peng was a little unconvinced, "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Su Jiaojiao said seriously, "If you don't believe me, wait until Chen Yi comes and ask him. He knows."
Xu Mengyao and Wu Peng looked at each other.
Chen Yi actually knew!!
"It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, so spend two days here." Su Jiaojiao said nonchalantly, "Chen Yi and I will take you around."
"No need..." Wu Peng said awkwardly, "We'll be moving here next year, so it won't be too late to go shopping then."
"That's right." Xu Mengyao agreed, "We'll see each other often next year."
Chen Yi stood at the door for a while before he calmly opened the door and walked in: "Sorry, I'm late."
"If you're late, you'll have to drink a drink." Wu Peng looked at Chen Yi with sympathy.
He said that secret love is the most undesirable.
Not daring to say that you like someone is a torment in itself.
When I finally had the courage to say it, she already had a boyfriend...
Chen Yi was still the same as he was in high school, speaking in a methodical manner, with no emotion showing any fluctuation. He basically didn't look at Su Jiaojiao, and chatted with Wu Peng about moving the campus next year. He also chatted with Su Jiaojiao and Xu Mengyao from time to time, so that the conversation didn't become dull.
Xu Mengyao is heartless, but she has a great time chatting with Su Jiaojiao.
The two also agreed to go shopping and eat delicious food together after returning.
It was Wu Peng who proposed to match Chen Yi and Su Jiaojiao together. Now that Su Jiaojiao has a partner and Chen Yi knows about it, this matter naturally cannot be mentioned anymore.
No one is wrong, the problem is that there is no fate.
Unless, there is a sudden turn of events.
On the way back, Xu Mengyao noticed that Wu Peng was a little depressed, so she asked him, "Do you feel particularly regretful?"
"Yes, Chen Yi has had a crush on Su Jiaojiao for a long time. I've been asking him to confess, but he refused, saying he'd wait until he went to college." Wu Peng knew Chen Yi best. "Once we were in college, he said he and Su Jiaojiao weren't in the same school, and we should wait until we were settled. And after all this time, she actually has a boyfriend."
"But I don't think Su Jiaojiao looks like someone who has a boyfriend." Xu Mengyao also felt strange. "Could it be that she doesn't like Chen Yi and that's why she said that on purpose?"
"She must really have a boyfriend." Wu Peng shook his head. "She said Chen Yi knew about it, so Chen Yi must have seen it. Why don't we just ask Chen Yi and find out?"
"Don't ask Chen Yi." Xu Mengyao immediately stopped him. "If it's true, Chen Yi must have been heartbroken. If you ask again, you'll just be exposing his wounds!"
"Don't ask, don't ask." Wu Peng agreed. "A short pain is worse than a long one. Let's put this matter behind us."
Su Jiaojiao thought so too.
A short pain is worse than a long one. She herself is not very good at dealing with these things. Lu Jingyou alone is enough to make her feel entangled, and now there is Chen Yi... Of course she refused directly.
If she and Lu Jingyou hadn't been tied up by other things, they would have broken up long ago.
She has the courage to start a business, but not the courage to fall in love. To be honest, she herself finds it puzzled, but she has no better way to change herself.
Just think about these things occasionally, don't think about them every day, it's too exhausting.
She had to cheer up to take the driving school exam, check the progress of the new house decoration, and go to Qili Clothing City to see the new styles of Zhang Miaomiao's family.
Next year she will start looking for factories to place orders. She will be more confident if she can place orders for her own brand.
