She cleaned the office first and was wiping the table when Director Yang came in with a briefcase. She was stunned when she saw Ye Ning, “Has everything at home been done?”
“It’s done, but I have to go back for the first seven days.” Ye Ning said rather embarrassed.
Seeing her little face with no color at all and her voice so hoarse, Director Yang realized that she must have been crying a lot. Director Yang sighed: “You must be tired these days. Why don’t you working today, go back and rest for a day, and come back tomorrow. The first seven days, I will allow you to get off work early to avoid having to rush back and forth.”
Ye Ning’s eyes turned red and she bowed deeply, “Thank you, director, but I came back to the city yesterday afternoon and went to bed very early last night and slept a whole night, so I feel much better.” Director Yang nodded and assigned her a relatively simple task.
“Director, what about last week’s work? I’m fine. I will never bring my personal feelings to work. I will complete the work carefully and conscientiously.” Ye Ning thought that Director Yang was afraid that she would be distracted and miss work.
Director Yang glanced at her and said, “It’s all done. These are today’s tasks.” All done? Ye Ning came back to her senses immediately, meaning that Director Yang had already done it herself. Her work was not difficult, but it was very trivial. Director Yang probably felt sorry for her, so she did not leave the work to her.
“Thank you.”
“If you want to thank me, work hard. I remember you live on Houxi Road?” Director Yang suddenly changed to another topic.
“Yes, that place is close to Erxiao.” Ye Ning nodded immediately.
“It’s close to the second primary school, but far away from our factory. You have to walk forty or fifty minutes every time you go to work, right?” Director Yang took out a bunch of keys.
“The bicycle I rode before is a little old, so I just need to replace it with a new bicycle. If you don’t mind, you can take it and ride it.”
After saying that, she threw the key to Ye Ning who received it in a panic. Ye Ning looked at Director Yang a little at a loss, “Thank you, Director.”
Ye Ning had seen Director Yang’s bicycle. It was very well maintained. Judging from the appearance, it was at least 70% new. There was no need to replace such a bicycle, let alone by Director Yang, who had always advocated frugality. The reason why she changed the bicycle to a new one was probably to find an excuse to give her the old bike.
Who said that Director Yang was an unkind tigress? She was obviously a soft-hearted and kind-hearted person, but she was a just bit hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and she was arrogant and cute.
“Can you ride a bicycle?” Director Yang took Ye Ning to the bicycle shed and asked worriedly.
“Yes.” Ye Ning opened the lock and rode her bicycle around the playground twice. Only then did Director Yang feel relieved to ride on the new bicycle and leave.
After a while, Wang Bin and others came over. Yang Wanqing looked Ye Ning up and down, touched her chin, and whispered: “It doesn’t look like it!”
“What doesn’t look like it?” Zhu Yonghui said smoothly.
Yang Wanqing did not come back to her senses, and her mouth was faster than her brain, “I think my aunt is very good to Ye Ning, and I suspect that Ye Ning is my aunt’s…”
After coming back to her senses, Yang Wanqing quickly shut her mouth.
“What does your aunt have?” Zhu Yonghui asked.
“Hey, it’s nothing. They must be waiting for dinner at home. Let’s go back quickly.” Yang Wanqing giggled, trying to get away with it.
“You don’t think Ye Ning is your aunt’s daughter, do you?” Zhu Yonghui asked in a low voice, and then said with a smile: “Who doesn’t know that your aunt has never had a love object until now? In her eyes, she only has work, how can she change her life? How can you really think about such a big kid?”
Yang Wanqing glared at him, got on her bicycle and left. Zhu Yonghui hurriedly caught up and rode for a while. When he saw that Wang Bin didn’t follow, he stopped his bicycle and shouted: “Wang Bin, what are you doing? Let’s go.”
“You go first, I’ll help her.” Seeing Ye Ning tie the box to the back seat of the bicycle, Wang Bin went over and asked, “It’s so heavy, why don’t I help you carry it?”
“No, I might not be able to carry it home myself. But it’s no problem if I have a bicycle.” She declined politely, got on her bicycle and left quickly.
Wherever there were people, there were rivers and lakes. If she and Wang Bin stood together and said a few words, someone would start saying that they were dating each other later, so she could not dare to let Wang Bin help her get her things. If he sent them all the way home, by tomorrow, news of their engagement would come out.
The bicycle now was not as compact as it was in the past, but it was okay to ride. After returning home, Ye Ning pushed the bicycle into the storage room and locked it up before starting to unpack the things she had been curious about all day.
The top layer was chocolate, and the bottom layer was dried chicken, duck, fish, and a lot of candy. Anyway, it was all kinds of food.
Ye Ning quickly opened the letter. Sheng Chuan first apologized for his mother, and then said that his mother had remarried and rarely came to his home. The last time she received the letter was because of special circumstances, so Ye Ning should ignore her. Then he talked about some trivial things about his life, and some things that he thought were funny, and finally told Ye Ning and Ye Lan not to be too sad, and that everything would pass.
Ye Ning closed the letter, found her favourite flavour from a pile of candy, peeled it open and put it in her mouth. It was very sweet, but the joke Sheng Chuan told was really not funny at all.
Ye Ning couldn’t accept so many things with peace of mind, so she planned to collect some local specialties and send them to him.
