After Bai Zheli left, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but reminisce about sitting in university classrooms.
It’s not just that Bai Zheli never imagined standing on the grand stage of international capital soday.
Back then, when he wrote those "grand" notes, all he thought about was finding a decent-paying job after graduation, and having weekends off would be even better.
It feels like a lifeti ago.
"Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong..."
The ringing doorbell interrupted Jiang Chen’s mories.
"Surprise!"
Opening the door, apart from Fang Qing, a figure suddenly leapt out from the side, genuinely startling Jiang Chen.
"What are you doing here..."
"Why can’t I be here?"
The chic city girl didn’t at all consider herself an outsider, squeezing past Jiang Chen as she spoke, scrutinizing the luxurious suite with awe, "Living alone in such a big room, no wonder you’re an evil capitalist."
She clearly knew only half the story.
Actually, two people were staying there.
Jiang Chen looked at Qing i questioningly.
"She happened to be flying to Tokyo."
Only then did Jiang Chen realize.
After Fang Qing entered, he closed the door.
Tong Dan was still looking around, truly acting as if nothing was unfamiliar, using a trendy phrase, she had no sense of personal boundaries.
"Boss Jiang, why do you have two beds arranged? If you don’t mind, can I stay for a few nights? I’ve stayed at the Peninsula Hotel but never in a room like this. I’ll pay the rate for a standard single room."
Polite.
But not too much.
"Sure, as long as you don’t mind, what’s the problem?"
Fang Qing imdiately turned, giving him a aningful glance, "Fang Qing is still here, yet you’re daring to have ideas about ?"
Jiang Chen chuckled, calmly countering, "Who’s having ideas about who exactly?"
Though in the service industry, when it cos to verbal sparring, Tong Dan undoubtedly falls a bit short and instantly ran out of words.
Fang Qing sat down on the sofa, ignoring their banter, having grown used to it since high school.
"Staying a few days?"
Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
Perhaps many people like to draw boundaries with their past after defying fate, distancing themselves from old friends; sotis, it may not be intentional, others’ attitudes toward you naturally change.
But he didn’t enjoy that feeling.
On the contrary.
Tong Dan’s personality actually made him feel quite close, in their way of interacting, it seed to have changed, yet felt unchanged.
"Whether I stay a few days depends on whether Boss Jiang welcos . If Boss Jiang is willing to cover my expenses..."
Tong Dan bent her long legs, sitting beside Fang Qing.
"Does your expenses need to cover?"
Jiang Chen imdiately interrupted, "Who doesn’t know Tong Da i Nu has friends all over the world?"
Tong Dan gave him a look, "Only you can make stinginess sound so fresh and unique. So rich now, yet unwilling to support old friends and classmates."
"What you’re doing is naked moral coercion. My money doesn’t co from the wind. Besides, with your inco, do you still need support?"
"You’re mocking , right? It’s fine if others misunderstand, Boss Jiang, don’t you know our industry is essentially slave labor?"
Slave labor is undoubtedly an exaggeration.
The flight attendant’s inco might not be very high, but with so cleverness, it certainly won’t be low.
Aside from the regular salary, soone like Tong Dan who flies international routes can earn quite a bit by occasionally working as a global buyer.
Of course.
Let’s not talk about the more edgy stuff.
Tong Da i Nu certainly pursues a good quality of life but won’t sell her soul for it.
Her character and education won’t allow it.
"Look at the clothes, shoes, and costics you’re wearing, all high-end brands, right? Then look at Fang Qing, Tong Da i Nu, you say your inco is low, aren’t you embarrassed?"
"What do you know about it!"
Tong Dan imdiately retorted, "Do you think Fang Qing’s stuff is cheap?"
"Not cheap? She only uses Dabao."
"Pfft."
Tong Dan directly burst out laughing.
Even Fang Qing couldn’t help but her lips curved a bit.
"Jiang Chen, you’re hilarious, I used Dabao too, but when was that?"
"Costics are a tax on intelligence, n who use nothing have better skin than many won."
"Your business surely doesn’t include costics. n’s and won’s physiques are different, how can you compare them? So won are indeed naturally beautiful, I admit, but how many like that can be found worldwide? Won’s beauty requires maintenance."
Alright.
Jiang Chen had originally intended to use Taoist nun sister as an example, but ended up being blocked first.
Discussing this topic with a woman, regardless of right or wrong, you’re already defeated from the start.
So Jiang Chen reined in.
"Hungry? Want to order so food?"
It’s past four in the afternoon.
An awkward ti.
Having dinner might be early, but could be hungry.
"I won’t eat food that’s offered."
Tong Dan snorted defiantly.
Jiang Chen laughed helplessly, "Then what did you co looking for for? To argue?"
"Who’s arguing with you. Isn’t it just seeing you’re here, so I ca to see you."
Tong Dan asked, "Are you guys traveling or on business?"
"Sa as you, it’s all for work."
"I’m just a small service worker, not comparable to you."
Tong Dan seems carefree, but in reality, she’s not completely tactless, like now, regarding what Jiang Chen is doing in Tokyo, she didn’t express any curiosity.
"Stay with tonight? I’ll go book another single room."
Jiang Chen looked at Qing i who spoke up.
True.
Back in school, they could hold hands to go to the bathroom.
But now everyone’s grown up.
Sleeping in the sa bed would feel awkward.
