Chapter 147 She is an Accountant
"No, no, it's just a piece of cake."
Xia Lili waved her hands repeatedly, a cheerful smile on her lips, her eyes curved into crescent shapes, "I have an appointment this afternoon."
As she spoke, she took out her phone and checked the time. It was still early for the time she had agreed with Jiang Yun. She looked up and added, "Just be careful next time. Don't look at your phone while walking, especially in an environment like this around the swimming pool."
As she spoke, she pointed to the slippery ground, her expression serious and concerned.
Wei Shan's cheeks flushed instantly. She lowered her head and spoke in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Okay, I was just distracted by my phone."
The three of them chatted in the lounge area by the pool. Xia Lili leaned on the railing and listened with interest as Wei Shan introduced her work.
When she learned that Wei Shan was an accountant, she raised her eyebrows slightly with a surprised expression: "Wow, an accountant? That must be very impressive!" She turned to look at Yang Yidan, "You two actually work in the same company?"
Yang Yidan put his hands on his hips and said with a hearty smile: "Yes, but we are in different departments."
She tilted her head and thought for a moment, "I'm in the administration department, and Shanshan is in the finance department."
The sunlight shines through the glass window onto Yang Yidan's wheat-colored skin, making her look full of energy.
The company the two work for is a large company in the sports and fitness field. It also has a cooperation with Changyang Swimming Pool, and there are discounts for buying courses and swimming cards here.
When it was Xia Lili's turn to introduce herself, she touched her nose sheepishly and said, "Well, I'm starting a business right now. I'm opening a small express delivery store with my parents."
She said this with a glint of pride in her eyes.
The sound of children playing and laughing emanated from the pool. Xia Lili blinked curiously, approached the two men, and asked, "You two aren't from the same department, so how did you meet?"
Her eyes darted back and forth between the two of them like a curious cat.
Upon hearing this, Wei Shan blushed shyly. She pursed her lips and said softly, "Actually, the story of how we met is quite melodramatic."
Yang Yidan rolled her eyes exaggeratedly, crossed her arms over her chest, and said angrily, "Speaking of this, I'm still a little angry!" She stomped her feet, splashing a few drops of water.
"A month and a half ago," Yang Yidan recounted vividly, "I had just joined the company a few days ago. I sneaked out in the afternoon and ordered afternoon tea at the cafe downstairs." Her eyes widened. "I saw a girl accidentally spill a whole cup of coffee on Shanshan's clothes, and it also soiled the documents Shanshan needed to meet with a client!"
At this point, Yang Yidan's cheeks puffed up with anger. "That girl was so arrogant! Not only did she not apologize, she even falsely accused Shanshan of tripping her, causing her hand to slip and lose her grip on the coffee."
She crossed her arms and imitated the girl's arrogant look, which made Xia Lili laugh.
"I happened to see the whole thing," Yang Yidan puffed out his chest, his face stern with righteousness. "I was so angry that I rushed over and grabbed the girl, making her pay for Shanshan's clothes and apologize to her."
Wei Shan's eyes sparkled with gratitude, and she said softly, "Not only did Yidan teach that girl a lesson, but he also helped me borrow decent clothes and reprinted the materials in a short period of time."
As she spoke, her eyes reddened slightly, "It really helped me a lot."
Wei Shan continued, her voice soft but serious. "I'm planning to meet with a major investor, and I'm going to explain our company's financial statements to him along with my immediate superior." She twisted her fingers nervously. "If I mess up this meeting, it'll be a disaster."
Upon hearing this, Xia Lili opened her eyes wide in surprise and sighed, "That was really a life-saving favor at work." There was a bit more admiration in her eyes when she looked at Yang Yidan.
Wei Shan lowered her head embarrassedly: "I have a soft personality. In the company and in life, Dandan helps me solve many problems." As she spoke, a warm smile appeared on her face.
Yang Yidan laughed heartily and patted Wei Shan on the shoulder: "What's the big deal? We are all good sisters, so let's help each other if we can."
She smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits, revealing a row of white teeth. "And Shanshan isn't as useless as she says she is. She's a top student! She has a master's degree! She's very sensitive to numbers. Last time we went to the supermarket to buy some snacks, she only glanced at the receipt and immediately realized that the salesperson had marked the price of one snack as a more expensive one."
“It’s like a human computer!”
Xia Lili was amused by Yang Yidan's comment. After she finished laughing, she wiped the tears from her eyes and asked curiously, "By the way, did Wei Shan just start swimming? Who is her coach?"
She tilted her head, looking at the shy Wei Shan, and couldn't help but remind her, "I've collected a list of the most popular and least popular coaches in this swimming pool from the forum. Don't step on any of them."
When Wei Shan heard this, a bright smile appeared on her face, her eyes sparkling: "I won't step on the landmine, it was Yidan who taught me how to swim."
As she spoke, she looked at Yang Yidan proudly, her voice rising a few notes. "Yidan is very good at swimming. She grew up by the sea and can surf, swim, and dive. She even has a professional coaching certificate!"
When talking about her caring best friend, Wei Shan became very cheerful, completely unlike the shy girl just now.
At this time, Yang Yidan interrupted and asked, "Lili, are you here to take Coach Xu's swimming class today, or practice on your own?" She said as she adjusted her swimming cap with neat and capable movements.
"Swimming lessons," Xia Lili answered excitedly. "I want to finish my swimming lessons this week and strive for perfection."
Her eyes sparkled. "I'll feel less anxious when I go to the beach next week to learn surfing!"
When Yang Yidan heard that Xia Lili wanted to learn surfing, she immediately became interested and asked eagerly, "Are you going to try surfing? Which surfing club are you planning to go to?"
Xia Lili was surprised by her enthusiasm and said with a smile, "I haven't decided yet, but I'm going to stay in Haicheng for a while. My brother works there, so I'd like to go and have some fun."
She pulled out her phone and shook it. "I've looked at a few surf clubs in Haicheng online."
When Yang Yidan heard this, his eyes lit up and he clapped his hands excitedly: "You are going to Haicheng next!"
Her voice rose a few notches with excitement.
Xia Lili nodded and said "hmm".
"At the beginning of next month," Yang Yidan pointed at herself and then at Wei Shan. "Wei Shan and I are also planning to go to the islands around Haicheng. How about the three of us go together?"
She looked at Xia Lili expectantly, her eyes filled with the words "Agree quickly".
