Sitting on the sofa in his office, Shao Yingqi handed her a glass of water and asked with concern: "How have you been these past two days? Are you okay?"
"Thank you, Mr. Shao, I'm fine." Ruoxue said politely. She really couldn't say anything else except gratitude to him.
"Your brother came to see me and borrowed some money. He said it would be deducted from your salary when you spend your expenses." Shao Yingqi sat down on his chair and looked at Ruoxue and said.
"What?" Ruoxue was a little surprised. How could he be like this? He didn't even tell her! But thinking about her current situation, she was relieved. Forget it, after all, he is her brother. Whatever he wants to do, he can do it.
Let him go!
"That's fine, since I don't have anything to spend money on, so you can just deduct it from my salary. I still have to thank you for your help to our family," Ruoxue said.
"I don't think this is necessary. Just think of this money as being lent by me to you brothers and sisters for emergency purposes. You can pay me back when you have money. Don't worry. As for your salary, you can receive it normally.
, I will talk to the finance department," he said.
Ruoxue nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude.
"He...is he okay with you?" Shao Yingqi hesitated and asked.
Of course Ruoxue understood who the "him" he was referring to was.
"Well, it's okay." Ruoxue said.
"His temper is not very good. You have to be careful not to make him angry." Shao Yingqi reminded her kindly.
"Oh, I understand, thank you." The bright smile on Ruoxue's face made his heart hurt for no reason. How much pain and pressure this girl was burdened with. Only she knew that at her age, she should be
It is the season to wander around the university campus and enjoy romantic love, instead of facing these cruel social realities.
Ruoxue happily received her first salary. Standing in the corridor, she happily picked up the phone and called Xia Ruolin.
It was very noisy over there and I couldn't hear what was being said at all. Maybe get out of class had just ended? Ruoxue thought.
After a while, the phone rang again, this time it was Xia Ruolin.
"Hey, Xia Ruoxue, what are you talking about on the phone? There was some activity in class just now, so I couldn't hear you clearly. I'm in the bathroom now. If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly." Xia Ruolin on the phone had an impatient tone.
"I've paid my salary, is your current living allowance enough? If not, I'll give you some," Ruoxue said.
"How much did you pay?" Xia Ruolin still had the same tone.
"Two thousand and five." Xia Ruoxue was a little embarrassed, but for someone who had just been working for a month, this amount of money was already quite a lot.
"What can I do with this little money? The tuition fee is only 960, and there are also food expenses, materials fees, and clothing fees. It is at least 3,000. You hurry up and make up for me. The teacher has urged me several times!" Xia Ruolin said
Her tone became very mean. The aristocratic school she went to before didn't care about such a small amount of money. She didn't like the ordinary middle school Xia Ruofeng found for her at all. Especially someone like her who was used to spending money lavishly.
, and can’t stand this kind of restraint.
"Three thousand!" Ruoxue looked at her bag with a look on her face. The card that Chen Mubai gave her was still lying there. Otherwise, why don't she borrow some from it first?
"Hey, did you hear? The teacher said that if I can't deliver it before school in the afternoon, I won't be allowed to come next Monday." Xia Ruolin urged her again.
"I know, I'll send it to you right away. You wait for me at school." Xia Ruoxue hung up the phone.
She took out the credit card that Chen Mubai gave her from her bag and fiddled with it several times in her hand. Finally, she made up her mind to borrow some first and then return it to him the next time her salary was paid!
She withdrew the money and took the bus to Ruolin's school. Her school was not too far from where she worked, only half an hour's drive away.
After getting off the car, she walked towards the school gate. It was lunch break time and the day students were walking out of the gate in twos and threes. She walked straight towards Ruolin's dormitory, where she should be now.
But before she had gone far, she was attracted by the quarrel next to her. When she looked carefully, she saw several boys surrounding a girl in the campus pavilion. The girl was none other than Xia Ruolin.
"Sister, is it so difficult to invite you for a cup of coffee? I, Mr. Long, want to catch up with all the girls I can't catch!" the boy in the lead said, deliberately imitating a mature tone.
"Young Master Huanlong, I think you are more like a deaf young man. If you want to chase me, you can, at least you must meet the conditions I require. Look at you. Your family has no money. Look at the shabby car your father drives. You still want to chase me?"
It's really embarrassing to show off!" Xia Ruolin's tone was harsh and mean.
Sure enough, the man got angry and retorted unconvincingly to her: "What's so great about you? You're a poor girl, pretending to be a rich man here, and talking to me about being friends, you're flattering me!" With that, he stretched out his hand.
I want to pull Xia Ruolin's school uniform.
"What are you doing? Stop messing with me!" Xia Ruolin waved her hands angrily.
