Chapter 8 Acquaintances

A beautiful woman dressed in a professional uniform is sitting at her desk. Her makeup is exquisite, featuring a subtle eyeliner and a coat of transparent lip gloss. She is wearing a pair of white strappy high-heeled sandals, and her long legs are elegantly crossed and resting beside the chair, encased in a layer of sheer stockings.

Anyang curled her lips and said, "Alright, Mom, then I will call you back when I get home. I will settle the bill first."

Song Hanshan then smiled and said, "Why not hurry and do it? Give it to me early tomorrow. If you dare to banter with me, I will take care of you."

I am dining out

Song Hanshan rested her elbows on the table, propping her chin up with her hand, appearing to be either bored and daydreaming or deep in thought.

It is not easy for a recent university graduate to receive such a high salary. Anyang endured for this monthly salary of 8,000, remaining silent until the moment of resignation when he could no longer hold back. The scar on Fu Jianming's face is a testament to his actions, and it was during that time that his previous phone was also broken.

Ji Weiwei returned home, and it is uncertain whether she informed her parents about her resignation, but it is likely that she did not

The voice on the other end of the phone became somewhat urgent: "Hey, wait a minute, child, why are you in such a hurry? After you finish eating, sit for a while longer, take a rest before heading out."

You rascal, can't a mother call you just because she misses you? Do I have to have something to discuss before I can call you?

Song Hanshan sighed, continued to open the documents on the desk, and focused intently on reading them

Mother, I know how to take care of myself, so you don't need to worry about me. Alright, if you have anything to say, please go ahead. I haven't settled the bill yet.

Xie Yunqing sighed and said, "Alas, your sister should be in college by now, yet she is still so immature. However, you have been working for a year, so you must not be as thoughtless as your sister."

Although his Shenzhouxing mobile card has already been discarded, he has become accustomed to it. This time-traveling phone intercepts everything related to the old number, such as text messages and calls

Anyang is not particularly tall, nor can it be considered very handsome, but he appears quite sunny and has a certain charm

The conversation in Anyang dialect was not finished when the call was already disconnected

You ... ... are very good, do not think that resigning will put an end to this, I will not forget what you did to me, this matter is not over!

Ahem... I can do it, it's just that what I make doesn't taste good

After three months of hardship, Anyang naturally would not deprive himself, especially since he now has over 100,000 RMB in his bank account and still has 50,000 US dollars in his personal space, making it even less necessary for him to save money

Ah, I never expected that the trope of a hero saving a damsel in distress would happen to me as well

Given such a relationship, how could An You possibly call him? It is likely that her agreement at that time was merely a casual response.

Just as he was about to check out, his phone in his pocket vibrated. He picked it up to see a middle-aged woman's profile picture lit up on the screen. After a moment of inner conflict, he decided to swipe his finger and answer the call

A thin, gaunt man wearing glasses almost stepped into the bank alongside him. He appeared to be older than Anyang, likely nearing thirty years of age, with a faint scar on his face. Accompanying him was a woman dressed in a sexy office lady uniform, her chest accentuating a deep cleavage.

But she is more aware that perhaps before long, she will completely forget this matter and also forget the person An Yang, as their intersection is ultimately limited

Knock, knock, knock

This nearly thirty-year-old man is named Fu Jianming. He was his former direct superior, possessing limited abilities but holding considerable power. He enjoys meddling in areas he knows nothing about and is petty-minded.

For every company, technical employees are highly sought after. According to the regulations of Anyang's former company, Fu Jianming, as a supervisor in the technical department, was not qualified to dismiss his subordinates. Therefore, over the past year, he frequently picked on Anyang until recently when he finally seized the opportunity to force Anyang to resign.

Anyang expressed some helplessness and said, "Please go ahead and tell me what you want to do."

Anyang helped her once, but did not ask for any return. This fairy tale-like scenario would linger in the heart of any girl for a period of time.

Ah! Isn't it supposed to be given tomorrow? I haven't finished yet

In the city center, within an exceptionally grand building, countless staff members are busily engaged in their tasks

He seems to be called Anyang

Anyang's gaze was somewhat cold as he glanced at the two security guards not far away and contemptuously said: "Is the Bank of China owned by your family? If you can come, why can't I?"

Perhaps there are rebellious factors at play; she has been pampered and well-off since childhood, yet it seems her entire life has been predetermined. She yearns for a love that belongs to her, a desire that is stronger than that of most people

You, girl, did you complete the schedule I asked you to prepare yesterday? I need to see it today

Especially the decisive strike that day, the brutal force that landed with every punch, she had only seen it on television. Perhaps her father's bodyguard possessed such strength, but it was impossible for any petty thug to dare provoke him

As soon as he entered the bank, he encountered an acquaintance, and he was momentarily taken aback

Upon seeing Anyang, Fu Jianming's expression immediately darkened as he said, "Anyang, what are you doing here?"

When Fu Jianming is in a bad mood, he tends to boss people around at the company. At that time, Anyang had just graduated for a year, still inexperienced, and had a dispute with him, which led to Fu holding a grudge against him ever since

You might as well save that salary of yours; whether it's for buying a house or a car, in any case, hurry up and find a girlfriend for me and your dad.

An You is beautiful, excels in her studies, and ranks first in everything. Relatives, friends, teachers, and classmates all hold her in high regard. She also has a very proud personality. In contrast, he is the opposite example; apart from being admitted to a prestigious university, he has achieved virtually nothing. An You has never gotten along with him since childhood, and as they grew older, her disdain for him only increased.

I still do not know you, how have you been doing outside, how is work going, is everything going smoothly?

The woman immediately became flustered.

Perhaps they are quite ordinary here, often having to bow and scrape just to survive, but as soon as they step out of the building's doors, they immediately stand tall, becoming high-income earners who are respected by others

Anyang helplessly said: "Alright, I will call her later."

A faint knock sounded at the door

Upon arriving at the bank, Anyang prepared to exchange the remaining US dollars into Chinese yuan, totaling 50,000 US dollars, equivalent to over 300,000 RMB. He checked online and found that there were many restrictions on foreign currency exchange some time ago, but recently many policies have been relaxed, and the control over foreign currency has become less stringent.

Song Hanshan finally realized it, but she remained composed and did not blush like her younger daughter, calmly gazing at the woman

... ...

Anyang felt a sudden jolt in her heart, fell silent for a moment, and quickly changed the subject

Hello, Mom

Sigh

You said, child, that when you were at home, I asked you to learn how to cook, but you didn't. Now look at the situation; eating out is so expensive.

After a while, while he was on his way to the bank, a notification arrived on his mobile phone, which was a text message from the bank

Xie Yunqing nodded on the other end of the phone and said, "I have no other intentions; it's just that you have graduated from high school and will soon be going to university. I want you to take your sister to buy a few decent clothes, and by the way, to cultivate the relationship between you two siblings. You have been living in the same house for over ten years, yet your relationship is so discordant. It would be a laughingstock if others heard about it."

Anyang's mother is named Xie Yunqing

These old couple are indeed generous; when he was young, they never bought him clothes this expensive. Even if you remove a zero, it would still be worth more than the most expensive clothes he had during his school years

Anyang fell silent for a moment and said, "In this day and age, where can one not find decent clothes? Our Yan City is not bad at all."

Looking at the recently received 5,000 yuan, he shook his head and smiled wryly

The trope of a hero saving a damsel in distress often appears on television, yet if it were to truly occur, few could deny its impact on a woman.

Mom, really no need.

Ultimately, Anyang is indeed not tall or handsome, but he is certainly much better than the bodyguard. What stands out the most is that it was Anyang's hurried departure that truly left her with lingering thoughts to this day

Recalling the events of that day, Song Hanshan's eyes gradually sparkled with life, yet she smiled self-deprecatingly

There is no need for you to spend money; it is only natural to buy clothes for my sister. I have money of my own

Upon seeing his gaze, Fu Jianming immediately understood what he was thinking, feeling somewhat apprehensive. After all, his height and build were far inferior to An Yang's. This was not the same as being in the company; he was alone and had no choice but to swallow his anger.

A woman dressed in a similar professional uniform walked in, her high heels making a crisp sound against the floor as she entered. She held a folder in her hand and placed it on Song Hanshan's desk

You child ... didn't your sister finish her college entrance examination a few days ago? She said she wanted to come to the provincial capital to have some fun with her classmates and relax. According to plan, she should have arrived yesterday. I thought since you are in Jinguanshi, I would ask your sister to call you. Did you receive her call?

Xie Yunqing spoke with determination, saying: "It's settled then. I will transfer the money to you shortly. How can a girl not have a few beautiful outfits"

"Anyang, what are you doing now?"

This alluring woman is named Wang Qin, who was once renowned throughout the company for her seductive charm. It is rumored that she ascended the ranks through her physical allure, eventually becoming a supervisor in the finance department, but he does not know the specifics.

Manager, here is the information you requested. Hey, why are you daydreaming again? You've been like this these past few days. Has spring fever struck you?

Anyang let out a bitter laugh; he indeed has a younger sister named An You

Come in

After the woman left, she casually flipped through the materials in front of her, but felt that she could not focus at all, so she simply stopped looking and continued to rest her head on her hand.

He chose a rather upscale hotel for dining, yet he was all alone. Unlike others who indulged in lavish feasts, he only ordered a few dishes, but he finished them all completely.

Uh... they might not have called me yet, or it could be that my phone is turned off
