Chapter 878: Chapter 514: Witty as You_2

Yu Wen sighed and said, "He originally agreed, but then I told him it was a night show, ending at 11:30 PM. If I go home, I’d definitely disturb my parents, so..."

Jiang Yanan: "So what?"

Yu Wen: "So the class monitor said it was too late and decided not to go."

Jiang Yanan was frustrated and said, "Wise up, Wenwen, make the first move. I’m telling you, the new freshmen sisters are super trendy now."

The other day she was eating in the cafeteria and overheard two freshmen sisters talking about the handsome guys at school.

Jiang Yanan suddenly felt anxious for her good friend Wenwen, knowing that Huang Zhongfei’s handsomeness is not ordinary.

Even though Jiang Yanan is into various Korean pop groups, when it comes to looks and the three-dimensional features, Huang Zhongfei undoubtedly has the edge.

Yu Wen wasn’t worried at all: "With those freshmen?"

She scoffed, her contempt was obvious.

...

At noon, at the River Dam Bungalow.

At the dining table were Chuchu, Jiang Ning, and the one who could eat the most, Tongtong.

Xue Chuchu said, "My mom has been so busy lately, she gets up at around two every day to go to the company."

There was a faint look of concern on her face.

Xue Yuantong saw this and comforted her, "Chuchu, have you forgotten? Their work used to be in shifts back then!"

It seemed like that was the case. Xue Chuchu recalled when they first came to Yuzhou, her mom used to work at the factory, frequently switching between day and night shifts.

In the past few months, her mom’s regular routine and comfortable life slightly dulled her understanding of hardships.

Jiang Ning said, "Changqing Liquid is preparing for a new product launch event, being busy is expected. The overtime pay must be decent, right?"

Xue Chuchu: "Yes, my mom not only doesn’t feel tired, but she also smiles more. She said that this month’s salary is equivalent to two months before."

Xue Chuchu was no longer worried.

Tongtong took a big gulp of pumpkin soup, which her mom had carefully selected. When cooked, a small amount of rice was added, no need to add sugar, it naturally had a sweet taste, making it very satisfying to drink.

After eating, Tongtong lay still, Chuchu went to wash the dishes, and Jiang Ning continued playing on his phone.

After resting for a while, Tongtong, along with Chuchu, ran to Jiang Ning’s room to play games.

Recently, Jiang Ning got a new game, Wii U.

The former Jiang Ning, at this age, had never even heard of this game console until Lin Zida told him about it.

He opened Mario Kart 8, started the three-player split-screen mode, racing with Xue Yuantong and Xue Chuchu, throwing turtle shells, dropping banana peels, and various other items, filling the room with shouts and laughter.

Xue Yuantong played nonstop until after 3 PM.

Her stamina depleted significantly, she withdrew to rest, while Jiang Ning and Chuchu continued playing a fighting game.

Xue Yuantong picked up her phone by the bed, realizing her mom had sent messages, several in fact, she opened them to read.

Aunt Gu: "The company had a small event today, I got a small cake."

"I’ll bring it home for you to eat tonight (grin)."

"Tongtong, what are you up to? Aren’t you on your phone?"

"Are you playing on the computer?"

Xue Yuantong felt a pang of guilt inside, she replied, "Mom, I’m studying."

Aunt Gu: "There’s another small event at the company tonight, they’ve invited many chefs, I found out you can bring family, you and Jiang Ning come and join."

"I think Chuchu will come too, you guys can come together then."

Xue Yuantong’s heart surged with excitement at the thought of a big meal, she hurriedly informed the two. NovelFire

Chuchu agreed, Jiang Ning claimed he had things to do in the evening and needed to go out.

In the end, Chuchu rode her electric bike and took Tongtong to Changqing Liquid for a big meal.

Jiang Ning handed the controller to Tongtong and went back to lie on the sofa.

He watched the two girls’ backs, chuckled softly, and thinking of this, he messaged Shao Shuangshuang:

"Tonight when you see the girl Aunt Gu brings, give a little red envelope as a token gesture."

...

At 8 PM.

Changqing Liquid Company, a very spacious hall, elegantly decorated dining tables laden with various Chinese dishes, Western snacks, and drinks, with such an extensive variety it dazzled the eyes.

Even Aunt Gu, who was skilled in cooking, had the thought that even if she spent a lifetime learning, she couldn’t master all those snacks completely.

Changqing Liquid employees gathered in small groups here and there, enjoying the food, occasionally someone would raise a glass, clinking it in a toast.

Until a few figures appeared, the whole hall quieted down instantly, like waves sweeping over.

That was Shao Shuangshuang, President Shao.

Shao Shuangshuang walked around, smiling wherever she went.

In such a situation, Aunt Gu, along with Xue Yuantong and Chuchu, were brought to the CEO’s office, which sparked discussions among the surrounding employees.

Someone said, "I’ve always said, Sister Gu isn’t just a senior employee, she’s got a connection with our President Shao!"

Someone opposed, "There’s probably a connection, but it shouldn’t be that deep, otherwise why would Sister Gu still be a chef?"

Another chimed in mysteriously, "Regardless of the background, just give Sister Gu some respect, and that’s all."

Xue Yuantong didn’t feel anything different as she laughed daily, however, facing Shao Shuangshuang directly, seeing her at the center surrounded by countless big figures, the overwhelming majesty gave her a significant impact.

She unknowingly felt a few levels inferior.

Shao Shuangshuang called Aunt Gu to the office, firstly acknowledging her work, then asking for her opinion, and finally expressing her blessings, giving both Xue Yuantong and Xue Chuchu a big red envelope each.

Aunt Gu repeatedly declined, Xue Chuchu also dared not accept, so they placed the red envelopes back on the table. Xue Yuantong had originally stashed it happily in her pocket, ready to flaunt it to Jiang Ning as future meal money for the two.

Seeing her mom and Chuchu’s reaction, Xue Yuantong reluctantly took out the red envelope and placed it back on the table.

Seeing this, Shao Shuangshuang said, "Keep it, you’ve been working at Changqing Liquid for a long time, and the kids rarely visit the company. As the boss, I must show some gesture, or else it would be laughable to leave empty-handed, wouldn’t it?" View the correct content at NovelFire

Aunt Gu listened and didn’t refuse anymore.

Xue Yuantong thought this big sister was really nice!

They chatted for less than ten minutes when the secretary knocked on the door to report, Shao Shuangshuang saw Aunt Gu’s uncomfortable expression and, worrying it would be inappropriate to keep her any longer, let her go.

Xue Yuantong followed her mom, she suddenly remembered the red envelope was still on the table, she forgot to take it!

She exchanged a look with Chuchu, reading the meaning in each other’s eyes.

But they were about to step out, if they turned back to get it, it would be embarrassing and it would lose face for her mom, making them seem money-grubbing.

If they didn’t take it, even Chuchu felt a pinch, there was at least 5000 yuan in that thick red envelope!

Yet, up to this point, there was no turning back, Xue Chuchu decided to act as if she never saw the red envelope.

However, Xue Yuantong wasn’t the type to give up. If she could get that money, she couldn’t imagine how boastful she could be in front of Jiang Ning!

Xue Yuantong didn’t eat that meal for nothing, she quickly thought of a plan, and just as she was about to step out of the CEO’s office, she called back:

"Sister Shuangshuang, thank you for your kindness, I understand, but we don’t need the red envelope!"

Upon hearing this, Shao Shuangshuang’s hand froze mid-air, the secretary whispering an urgent message stopped talking.

Even Xue Chuchu was shocked, was Tongtong that smart?

Even she hadn’t thought of this way out.

Shao Shuangshuang picked up the red envelope, walked to the door, and without further ado, handed it to Xue Yuantong and Xue Chuchu.

...

At this moment.

Jiang Ning was at Hu Qi Mountain, it was already night outside, however, the spirit field in front of him, with various spirit grasses and spirit flowers, emitted a shimmering light, its vibrant colors illuminating his form.

Jiang Ning extended his Divine Sense, observing a spirit plant bearing scarlet fruits in front of him, the surrounding space was filled with turbulent spiritual energy, indicating some anomaly.

This spiritual medicine was crucial to his next stage of cultivation.

Jiang Ning locked onto it with his Divine Sense, and still having some spare time, he pulled out his phone, noticing Wang Longlong tagging everyone in the class group, announcing to check the forum.

Jiang Ning opened the forum and found that Huang Zhongfei had astonishingly been exposed.
