During the winter vacation, there were very few people in the school. Only the lights in the dormitory were still on. There was a dormitory manager on duty on the first floor. When she saw Chen Jie, she called her enthusiastically.
"Student Chen, there is a package for you. It was sent from Shanghai." The dormitory manager took out a package from the cabinet. It was quite large.
"Thank you." Chen Jie took the package. When she heard the place name "Shanghai", she knew who sent it. Except Su Nan, she didn't know anyone else in Shanghai.
After arriving at the dormitory, Chen Jie took a pair of scissors and carefully opened the packaging on the surface of the package, revealing an exquisite packaging box inside, which contained a bag of Shanghai specialty snacks, a beautiful small bracelet and perfume.
The most important thing is a handwritten invitation.
"It's great to be getting married." Chen Jie touched the gold-rimmed pattern on it, looked at the wedding time at the signature, and without any hesitation, she planned to go to the train station on the weekend to buy the train tickets in advance.
Su Nan was one of her few friends, and he had given her a lot of help both in life and study, for which she was very grateful.
So she must not miss such a big event as Su Nan’s wedding.
But accidents always come suddenly. Heavy snow piled up on the city streets overnight, covering the city in a white blanket. Chen Jie, who had just finished translating the documents and was happily preparing to go to the train station to buy a ticket, was dumbfounded. What was going on?
Can the train still run? She hurriedly trotted forward along the path she had just cleared, taking each step anxiously but carefully, fearing that she would slip and fall flat on her face.
After a lot of effort, they arrived at the train station, which was packed with people queuing up to buy tickets. But as soon as Chen Jie entered the hall, she heard a station staff member holding a loud speaker and shouting, "The weather is bad, all trains are suspended, everyone please don't wait here."
“…”
Chen Jie's heart instantly sank to the bottom. The wedding was in less than half a month, and the weather conditions were such that the snow would only get heavier. What should she do?
"Hello, I would like to ask if the train will be able to run in half a month?" Chen Jie stepped forward and asked persistently.
"I don't know. According to the situation in previous years, it is impossible to leave. Just stay in Beijing for the New Year this year. You can't go out in such heavy snow." The staff member kindly comforted Chen Jie, and then left with a loudspeaker.
Suddenly there was a sigh and a lot of cursing in the hall, but everyone knew that there was nothing that could be done about it.
Chen Jie walked towards the tram station in a depressed mood. Fortunately, the tram was still running because there were special staff to clear the snow. Otherwise, she would have been too tired to walk.
While she was waiting for the car, a black car suddenly stopped in front of her. The window of the driver's seat was rolled down, revealing Assistant Yuan's smiling face: "Xiao Chen, what are you doing here?"
Chen Jie looked up when she heard the voice, and pointed to the train station not far away with a smile: "I came to buy a ticket, but the trains have stopped running due to heavy snow."
During this period, Chen Jie and Assistant Yuan had been communicating a lot about document translation, and their relationship had become much closer, so when he asked her, she answered, and subconsciously asked her, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to buy a ticket, too. Mr. Chang's good friend is getting married in Shanghai, and I'm planning to go to the wedding, but the trains are out of service. I have no choice but to go see if I can get a plane ticket. Are you buying a ticket to go home for the New Year?"
Why did he remember that Chen Jie's employment period continued until after the new year?
As expected, Chen Jie shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I also went to Shanghai to attend the wedding, but there is nothing I can do now."
She didn't even dare to think about plane tickets, as those were something only people with high status and position could buy.
"What a coincidence." Assistant Yuan didn't think much about it. He looked around and saw no trace of the tram, so he said, "Come on up. I'll take you there. In this weather today, if you wait for the tram, you may have to wait a long time."
Chen Jie quickly waved her hands and said rather embarrassedly: "No, I'll just wait a while."
Looking at Chen Jie's red nose and cheeks from the cold, and her desperately shaking head, Assistant Yuan actually thought she was a little cute, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Come up quickly, otherwise I will wait here with you."
Hearing this, Chen Jie swallowed and was forced to open the passenger door and sit in.
"This is my first time riding in a car." Chen Jie sat upright in the seat, not knowing where to put her hands and feet.
"There's nothing special about a sedan. Xiao Chen, you're such an excellent student and speak English so well. You'll have many opportunities to ride in a sedan in the future."
Assistant Yuan noticed Chen Jie's uneasiness and quickly changed the subject: "Where do you live? Are you staying on campus, or renting a house outside?"
"I live in school. How can I afford to rent an apartment?" Chen Jie fiddled with her thick bangs and smiled shyly.
"Aren't you planning on going over the New Year? Although you can't go now." Assistant Yuan kept trying to find topics to talk about while driving, his tone so relaxed as if the two of them had been good friends for many years.
Chen Jie sighed and replied, "Yes, I don't plan to go. I want to earn more money and send it back to my hometown to buy new clothes for my parents."
Thinking of her family, Chen Jie's eyes sparkled and her tone rose slightly.
"How filial."
Assistant Yuan couldn't help but take one more look at Chen Jie. When he met her big watery eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his heart was shocked. He quickly focused on the road conditions and chuckled: "I saw the translation document you handed in. It's very good. The handwriting is neat and clear. There are very few people in the company who can do this. You are indeed a talented person."
"No, no, many seniors do better than me. I still have a lot to learn." Although she was not happy to be praised, Chen Jie still looked humble.
"Hahaha." Assistant Yuan laughed heartily a few times.
Not long after, they arrived at the school. After thanking the assistant again and again, Chen Jie got out of the car and left. Assistant Yuan watched her go away. The surroundings were covered in snow, with only her red figure jogging among them.
He had been with Chang Yelin for so many years, and had seen all kinds of beauties, big and small, and even met many of the top actresses in the circle, but Chen Jie aroused a little interest in him.
Perhaps it was her innocent nature that hadn't experienced much? People are always curious and yearning for things they have never had.
After a long while, Assistant Yuan lowered his eyes and chuckled, then drove away. He still had to buy a plane ticket for Chang Yelin. If he couldn't buy it, who knows how angry he would be.
