At two-thirty in the afternoon, the black business car stopped again at his community gate, and Su Qing was carrying bags and bags.
Only now did he realize what the joy of a rich woman was; steel wool? That was just part of it. Shopping without looking at prices and having someone carry your things for you was the real enjoyment.
That's right, the two of them went for a stroll in the nearest shopping mall. Initially, Shen Yi suggested visiting her company, but he didn't go. After all, working was something he could never do in this lifetime.
When he clearly expressed that he'd rather die by jumping off the top of a commercial building than work, Shen Yi changed her mind and took him to the mall instead.
Women shopping, terrifying like this.
Shen Yi only cared about the process of shopping and the feeling of spending money. As for what she bought, she didn't care. Anyway, it was all just some small money. So she completely outfitted Su Qing from head to toe, a so-called image makeover, and it was mandatory.
While shopping at the mall, Su Qing felt like a kept man. Many salespeople didn't say anything when they saw the two of them together, but their odd looks were undisguised, especially when it came to paying.
Su Qing felt a bit embarrassed, but Shen Yi didn't care at all and was even very enthusiastic about shopping. If it weren't for having company business, she could have shopped all afternoon.
Finally, the two agreed on their next meeting, thus ending this trip.
"Mr. Su, is it okay to stop here? Or should I help you with the bags?" Deng Jie asked as she opened the car door for him.
Upon hearing this, Su Qing quickly replied, "No need; here's fine. You go ahead. I'll head back myself; it's hard to turn around in the community."
Seeing his insistence, Deng Jie said nothing more and left after saying goodbye.
"Hoo~~ Is this woman really planning to keep me?" Su Qing muttered softly after Deng Jie had left.
At that moment, a hard hit came to his shoulder.
"Caught you, little thief. Still denying anything going on between you two!"
Quickly turning back, he found Wang Xing looking at him with a knowing expression as if he had discovered a big secret.
"When did you get here, are you nuts!"
"I just got here and saw someone was brought back by a luxury car. So, this is the joy of being kept by a rich woman?" Wang Xing teased, looking at the large and small bags in his hands.
In response, Su Qing couldn't help rolling his eyes and lifting the bags in his hand: "Just a few pieces of clothing, you think that's enough to keep me?"
He then headed towards the community.
These were all casually bought by the rich woman while accompanying Shen Yi shopping. Although the prices weren't outrageous, they were still in the thousands, something he would never spend on clothing for himself.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not done speaking yet. Why are you in such a hurry, wait for me!"
In the living room, Wang Xing lay on the sofa without a care in the world, looking utterly disheartened.
"What's wrong, did the interviews go smoothly?" Su Qing asked while sitting beside him.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xing scratched his butt and sighed, "Don't bring it up. I had two interviews today, and I felt like those HR people were insane. One job was offering four thousand a month, yet they wanted me to sign a three-year contract, and if I don't complete the three years, they want me to pay a breach of contract fee of a hundred thousand. Damn it, they're nuts."
In response, Su Qing couldn't help but lament how competitive young people are nowadays. What gives this company such courage to offer such terms?
A monthly salary of four thousand is less than fifty thousand a year, around one hundred and fifty thousand for three years, yet if the three years aren't completed, the breach of contract fee is a hundred thousand. It's outright robbery.
"What are you going to do?" Su Qing asked.
Wang Xing sighed, feeling helpless, "Keep looking. Hey, why don't you talk to the rich woman and let me work at her company? Since you've already sold your charm, as your buddy, can't I benefit a little?"
Su Qing: ...
"If you want to go, go yourself. Don't drag me into it; I wouldn't bear the embarrassment."
Actually, he felt that if he did ask Shen Yi, she would likely agree, and might even offer Wang Xing a decent salary. But then the relationship between them would change.
Right now, they're completely equals. Her having money is her business; he has nothing to ask from her, which is why everything is so natural.
But if there's this debt of gratitude, and he has no value of interest to her, although Shen Yi won't say anything on the surface, internally, she might have other thoughts.
Friends should either be straightforward or have mutual value of interest.
"Damn, embarrassed? How am I embarrassed? Don't you believe without you I could still get into the company through interviews?" Wang Xing got up, refusing to concede.
Su Qing: "I don't believe it!"
Wang Xing: ...
"Come on, do you know her company's address? I just don't believe it!"
Since Wang Xing wanted to try, Su Qing naturally wouldn't stop him. If he got in purely through his own merit, then it had nothing to do with Su Qing, but he didn't know the specifics about Shen Yi's company, just that it was located in the commercial building, not even the specific floor. But Wang Xing said he could overcome these obstacles.
Soon, Wang Xing was searching through a few companies within the commercial building on his phone, and applied to each of them.
"Hey, what's this?" Wang Xing noticed the calligraphy that Uncle Li forced on him after getting drunk yesterday.
"A piece sent by an elder, to bring back and hang up."
"Calligraphy?" Wang Xing had a big question mark over his head, "You like calligraphy? Let me have a look!"
With that, he opened it, enlarged his eyes, and after a while said:
"What a slut!"
Su Qing: ( ̄ε(# ̄)☆╰╮o( ̄▽ ̄///)
"It's supposed to say 'honest', damn it! Are you illiterate?"
But it wasn't entirely Wang Xing's fault; when Su Qing first saw these two characters in the study yesterday, he had exclaimed the same thing, nearly making Li Zijun become a child from a single-parent family.
For an elderly man who loves calligraphy, it was a devastating blow.
"Anyway, the more I look at it, the more it looks like 'slut'" Wang Xing stared intently at this piece and commented more and more like it was true.
After a while, Su Qing: "I think so too!"
The two: "Hahaha!"
...
"President Shen, here are our company's recent business intentions with yours, and also, our President Xu wants to invite you for dinner tonight at Shui'an East City, hoping President Shen will give us the honor."
Upon hearing this, for some reason, Shen Yi remembered what Su Qing told her during the day, seemingly averse to Xu Feng, though she didn't know why.
"I'll skip dinner. I'll look at the plans. Okay, you may leave," Shen Yi said.
In response, Manager Wang Bo's face changed and quickly smiled, "President Shen, our President Xu has already reserved a spot, please..."
"Deng Jie, show them out!"
"Yes, President Shen, please, Mr. Wang."
At six in the afternoon, Su Qing received a call from Old Su, informing him to come home for dinner, saying his mom made a table full of his favorite dishes.
Su Qing unhesitatingly refused. After all, he just blacklisted his mom, and after last night, if he went back, who knows if just after he steps into the door, there'd be hundreds of ambushers wielding knives and axes waiting in ambush. When his mom, Zhou Hui, threw down the cup as a signal and led Old Su to storm out, shouting 'I have a general husband, who can battle the unfilial son?' wouldn't that mean his end?
So he didn't even think about it and blacklisted Old Su as well, denying any family connections.
