Chapter 425: Chapter 426: He Must Get a Raise

"Well, isn’t this a surprise coming from the west?" Fei Jiayi took out a lollipop, her face full of astonishment as she looked at Liao Jinling; in the past, Liao Jinling was always so high and mighty that a few words were enough to almost blow the roof off, treating the other dorm mates with distaste and arrogance.

She simply didn’t get along with the people in the dorm.

Fei Jiayi really hadn’t expected that Liao Jinling would apologize?

"Thank you all for saving me. The doctor said if I had gone any later, I might not have made it," Liao Jinling recalled the pain from that night, a pain so severe she dared not even think back on it.

Liao Jinling took a deep breath, thinking of her mother’s earnest advice by her ear on how to get along well with her classmates, she said, "Previously, I was wrong. This time, thank you all."

Liao Jinling’s sincere attitude proved that she truly acknowledged her past mistakes.

Ding Guo said with a smile, "Jinling, we are all from the same dorm. We can’t just stand by and watch someone in trouble. If it were us in distress, you, being from our dorm, would also help, right?"

"Right." Liao Jinling nodded affirmatively.

"Here, this is something my parents wanted me to bring over. It’s not worth much, but it’s also a token of our gratitude. My parents insisted that you must accept it."

From the big bag she brought back, Liao Jinling pulled out five bags, each containing a pack of snacks, a pack of candies, three beautiful hair clips, and a large red apple.

The contents of each bag weren’t heavy, but they were all things that girls would like.

Especially the three hair clips, fifteen hair clips for five people, all different designs, prompted Ding Guo to say excitedly, "These hair clips are so beautiful! Where did you buy them?"

...

"What’s today’s date?" Pangxin, unemployed and spending his days at home drinking and eating, woke up groggy and had even forgotten the date.

Pangxin’s wife glanced at him and replied, "The tenth."

"Did anyone from the factory come over?" Pangxin asked again.

"No," Pangxin’s wife shook her head, saying, "I mean, honey, are you sure they will come for you? What if they don’t?"

Pangxin’s wife had practically turned gray from worrying these past few days. Before, Pangxin had a reputable job as a translator in the factory, and not only was his position decent, but his salary was also higher than most. The family lived comfortably in Ningbei, not always eating meat every meal, but certainly more often than most.

Now, Pangxin had quit such a good job, and she had argued with him about it already, but Pangxin dismissed her concerns, saying she, a woman, simply didn’t understand.

She was just so worried, what if, just what if, the factory didn’t come looking for him, then what?

"How could they not come? Where would they find someone else in such short notice?" Pangxin glared at her, saying, "Can’t you say something nice for a change?"

"But you are being overly confident, what if..."

Pangxin’s wife still felt uneasy.

"Enough with the doom and gloom," Pangxin waved his hand in dismissal, annoyed, "Today, go buy some belly pork to make braised pork with potatoes."

"Didn’t we just have pork stir-fried with chili pepper yesterday?" Pangxin’s wife muttered, but seeing Pangxin glare at her, she didn’t dare say another word and silently went off to buy groceries.

Pangxin sat at home, glanced at the calendar, thinking about the upcoming inspection team from the factory. Finding a general translator wasn’t hard, but finding someone specialized in his area wasn’t so simple. Otherwise, why would Lou Fan have been so tolerant with him?

This time, he was determined to ask for a raise!
