Tian Rong's generosity left Xia Wenhua speechless, and even a little scared.
Is it really that scary to just give away something worth over 200 yuan like that?
Fortunately, Tian Rong wasn't really that generous. After she finished speaking, she realized she had forgotten something and quickly added a sentence.
"The radio ticket cost sixty, and I spent one hundred and twenty-eight on it, making a total of one hundred and eighty-eight. Just give me the money."
Upon hearing Tian Rong mention money, Xia Wenhua patted her chest in relief.
"You just said you were giving it to me, that really scared me, haha." Even if this girl seems innocent, if she really thought a colleague was giving her a radio, she must have something more to it than she thought. She, a newcomer to the factory, couldn't possibly handle that.
She should give money as she sees fit; after all, Tian Rong helped her, and Xia Wenhua isn't completely clueless.
“You should pay the money you owe. Radio tickets are worth at least seventy yuan outside. I just told the saleswoman that I would give her one hundred yuan if she had any. I can’t let you lose out. I’ll give you the radio ticket for one hundred yuan.”
When the topic came up, both of them instinctively moved to a less conspicuous spot.
"No wonder she was so enthusiastic. I usually ignore her. It turns out it was for the money."
You spoil her so much, giving her so much money. A hundred yuan? She'd be flying high! No need, I only have sixty here!
Tian Rong's way of speaking always gave Xia Wenhua a very familiar feeling. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was because Tian Rong was just as wealthy and powerful as her.
Xia Wenhua silently wiped away non-existent sweat. Even though she didn't like Liu Lian, she didn't want to pin the blame on Liu Lian at this moment.
"No, no, it wasn't her who offered that much price. I was the one who took a liking to this radio, but I didn't have a ticket and really wanted to buy it, so I offered that price. It's really not her fault."
Tian Rong waved her hand dismissively: "No need to explain, Liu Lian is just annoying, no matter what you say. I can't be like her. This radio ticket was a gift from my grandma. Just give me sixty, or I'll get angry!"
Human kindness is the most precious thing. Xia Wenhua didn't know how she caught Tian Rong's eye, but Tian Rong had said it several times. If she still insisted on buying it with money, it would seem like she wanted to sever ties.
She took the radio from Tian Rong's hand: "Thank you, Comrade Tian Rong. I'll remember this favor. If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know. I'll definitely do my best to help!"
Tian Rong smiled as she watched Xia Wenhua take the items and give her 188 yuan.
"No problem, no problem, it's nothing serious." She leaned close to Xia Wenhua's ear and said, "Comrade Xia Wenhua, aren't we friends now?"
Xia Wenhua: ?
The cheerful and outgoing girl suddenly became strange. She didn't know what Tian Rong was trying to do, but since she had already taken the things, she could only nod at this point.
"Yes, we're definitely friends now!"
Xia Wenhua had already set up a warning line in her heart, and told herself more than once that adult friendships can be ever-changing, and there was no need to have too much of a sense of shame.
She could simply pay the high price for the radio, but she absolutely could not agree to any unreasonable demands Tian Rong made.
During Tian Rong's period of silence, Xia Wenhua had already anticipated that Tian Rong would make many demands.
Unexpectedly, after receiving a positive answer, Tian Rong smiled brightly and said something that left everyone puzzled.
"Since we're friends now, Comrade Xia Wenhua, could you teach me that, the one from the factory committee the other day?"
She gestured wildly, trying to explain to Xia Wenhua, but after gesturing for a long time, she seemed to have no idea how to say it, leaving Xia Wenhua completely confused.
The two only interacted in the factory committee office. However, on the day she joined the company, Xia Wenhua faced Rong Guoguang's relentless pressure in the factory committee office. She had no other options but to deal with it. Tian Rong asked her what she was teaching.
Faced with Xia Wenhua's doubts, Tian Rong was clearly quite excited.
"It's that kind of skill... being quick-witted and sharp-tongued, able to shut down a jerk so badly they can only obediently bow their head and apologize!"
Having witnessed the confrontation between Xia Wenhua and Rong Guoguang at the factory committee, Tian Rong relived it countless times after returning home.
She thought Xia Wenhua did a really great job. On her first day at the factory, when she was unfamiliar with everything about the steel plant, she managed to make her annoying boss suffer without showing any fear herself.
After the secretariat staff left, Tian Zhijun and many others from the factory committee praised Xia Wenhua for being truly remarkable.
Even though a very small number of people said that Xia Wenhua was obviously a troublemaker and felt sorry that the secretariat would not be able to stay calm, anyone with a brain knew what was going on. Everyone thought that Xia Wenhua was a talented person.
Tian Rong didn't shy away from Xia Wenhua's words: "The Comrade Tian you saw that day is my uncle. If it weren't for my uncle taking care of me, I wouldn't know how to speak or do things, and I would often offend people."
As soon as you came in, my uncle said you were very capable. He said if I could learn even a little bit of what you have, he wouldn't have to worry about me anymore.
Comrade Xia Wenhua, can you help me?
The charm of flattery is undeniable. Even though Xia Wenhua always prided herself on being a rational person, being stared at by the girl's trusting eyes and receiving occasional compliments made her feel incredibly happy.
Tian Rong's words and expressions were spot-on, making her look exactly like Xia Wenhua's little fangirl, which made Xia Wenhua's heart melt.
What wrong could a naive young girl have done?
Xia Wenhua lowered her guard to the minimum; who could be wary of their little fangirl?
Her last shred of rationality led her to raise only one objection: "How am I supposed to teach you this?"
"Of course I want to be friends with you, Sister Wenhua. I'll spend every day with you and learn a little bit from your words and actions!"
Tian Rong answered this question without hesitation.
After all, that's what her uncle did. In his words, it doesn't matter if someone is a little slow-witted, as long as they are willing to learn from smart people, they can always learn something from them.
There's not much her family needs to know; just being a little smart is enough!
Xia Wenhua had never seen anyone willing to admit they were stupid, and to do so without any hesitation.
Comrade Tian Zhijun is truly a talented person, and Tian Rong is a real gem.
Tian Rong's flattery kept ringing in her ears, and her only thought was to become friends with Xia Wenhua. Could anyone refuse such a request?
Absolutely impossible!
Xia Wenhua nodded emphatically: "Of course, come find me whenever you have time."
"Okay, I'll come to your department to find you during lunch tomorrow. Sister Wenhua, you must wait for me!"
After giving her instructions, the young fan kept turning back every three steps, seemingly very reluctant to part. Xia Wenhua's smile never faded.
