As time passed, the afterglow of the setting sun shone into the Songjiang Hotel, and the silhouettes of people grew slantingly.
Seeing Yuan Xudong sitting on the plastic blanket and resting all afternoon, still playing with his mobile phone and laughing happily, Jiang Nansun couldn't help but said angrily:
"Yuan Xudong, can you do something?"
Hearing Jiang Nansun's voice, Yuan Xudong put away his mobile phone, stood up and patted the non-existent dust on his butt, walked towards Jiang Nansun and said with a smile:
"Supervisor Jiang, what are your orders?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong's happy face, Jiang Nansun couldn't help but asked curiously:
"Yuan Xudong, why are you so happy?"
Hearing this, Yuan Xudong hesitated for a moment, and then said truthfully:
"Similar to yesterday, today's stock market ended sharply, and my net worth has increased a lot. According to my estimates, in the next three to five months, I will be able to earn more money than I can spend in my lifetime. Of course
So happy!"
Hearing what Yuan Xudong said, Jiang Nansun's face was slightly stunned. The stock market plummeted. Yuan Xudong was making money, but on the contrary, his father would lose a lot of money and add a heavy debt to the Jiang family.
Thinking of this, she glared at Yuan Xudong, who was full of joy, and said angrily:
"You spread these plastic blankets, and I'll go check the returned paint, okay?"
"sure!"
Yuan Xudong took the plastic carpet from Jiang Nansun's hand and spread it, and said:
"Leave this to me. You can go check the returned paint."
Seeing that Yuan Xudong was doing a decent job, Jiang Nansun felt relieved, picked up the purchase list from the tool table not far away, and began to count the paints that needed to be returned.
After a while, Jiang Nansun frowned slightly. She found Wang Yongzheng and asked:
"Isn't this the paint I just purchased yesterday?"
After taking a look at the purchase list, Wang Yongzheng explained calmly:
"There is a slight difference in this batch of paint under the sun, so I changed it to another batch!"
After that, he pointed to a dozen barrels of paint not far away and said:
"They're all there, just go and count them!"
Following the direction pointed by Wang Yongzheng, Jiang Nansun glanced at the dozen barrels of paint placed not far away, frowned slightly and said:
"This brand is not in the specified purchase list. The problem is big or small. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I am sure!"
Wang Yongzheng nodded slightly and said:
"Just record it and I will report it to the hotel!"
After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Nansun to respond, he glanced at the busy construction site, then looked at Jiang Nansun and smiled:
"There's nothing going on here. You and Yuan Xudong just keep an eye on it. I wish you a happy dinner. I'll go to my aunt's house first. If you need anything, call me. See you tomorrow!"
Knowing that Wang Yongzheng did not want to have dinner with Lao Wei and the others to avoid an awkward atmosphere, Jiang Nansun understood:
"Don't worry, this place will be left to me and Yuan Xudong. You can go first and see you tomorrow!"
Wang Yongzheng nodded slightly, said goodbye to Yuan Xudong who was bending down to lay a plastic blanket not far away, and then left the construction site alone and went to the B&B that Aunt Jiang Nansun gave him to decorate.
Seeing Wang Yongzheng leaving the hotel, Jiang Nansun marked the paint brands on the purchase list, recorded the date and reason for replacement, and then went to count the quantity of paint Wang Yongzheng purchased privately and recorded them one by one.
"Nan Sun, Nan Sun!"
Hearing Zhang Anren's voice, Jiang Nansun, who was counting the amount of paint, quickly turned around and saw him walking over with two cups of coffee and snacks, and said with a surprised expression:
"Zhang Anren, why are you here?"
Seeing Jiang Nansun's happy face, Zhang Anren raised the coffee and snacks in his hand to her and said in a gentle voice:
"It's so hard at the construction site, I'll bring you some coffee and snacks."
Passing a cup of coffee to Jiang Nansun, Zhang Anren looked around and did not see Wang Yongzheng, but unexpectedly found Yuan Xudong who was working not far away. He frowned slightly and said:
"Nan Sun, why does Yuan Xudong work here?"
Following Zhang Anren's gaze, he glanced at Yuan Xudong, who was laying a plastic carpet not far away according to his instructions. Jiang Nansun couldn't help laughing and said:
"Don't worry about him, he's just doing soy sauce. I'll find something for him to do so that he won't be too busy!"
Seeing Jiang Nansun looking at Yuan Xudong with a happy face, Zhang Anren's heart sank, but on his face he calmly changed the subject and said:
"Where did Wang Yongzheng go? Why didn't I see him?"
Jiang Nansun withdrew his gaze and responded casually while drinking coffee and eating the snacks in Zhang Anren's hand:
"There's nothing going on here. He went to decorate his aunt's B&B."
Hearing that Wang Yongzheng was not at the construction site, Zhang Anren looked slightly happy. While handing Jiang Nansun a copy of the School Anniversary Exhibition Manual of the School of Architecture in Shanghai, he looked at her and said with a smile:
"I want to tell you two very good news. The first good news is that the design of the school anniversary exhibition that I was responsible for was well received by the department chairperson. This is the school anniversary exhibition schedule booklet that I bound.
You open it and take a look, it contains the author's introduction, the interpretation of each work, including the author's information, the author's professional evaluation and outlook, as well as the review of previous sessions, the preparation process of this session and the leadership's care!"
While listening to Zhang Anren's introduction, he flipped through the school anniversary exhibition schedule booklet in his hand. After browsing it roughly, Jiang Nansun frowned slightly and said:
"Why haven't I seen your work?"
Hearing what Jiang Nansun said, Zhang Anren looked slightly interested and said:
"The new department head doesn't like people who are too pushy. He likes subordinates who are down-to-earth and hardworking. What's more, the school anniversary exhibition schedule manual you got is my work. It doesn't matter whether others can see my work, as long as the leadership
As long as you can see it!”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Anren would say this. Jiang Nansun's face was slightly stunned, and then he returned the school anniversary exhibition schedule booklet to Zhang Anren, his expression returned to normal and said:
"Zhang Anren, I want to tell you one thing, that is, my father trades in stocks."
While Jiang Nansun was speaking, Zhang Anren also said:
"Nansun, do you think my school anniversary exhibition schedule booklet looks good?"
Hearing each other's voice, the two of them stopped at the same time, then looked at each other and said:
"Speak first!"
"Speak first!"
After being stunned for a moment, Jiang Nansun took the lead and said with a smile:
"You tell me first, isn't there another good news? I just want to hear some good news now, and be happy!"
Hearing Jiang Nansun's laughter, Zhang Anren nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"Nansun, do you think my school anniversary exhibition schedule booklet looks good?"
Hearing this, Jiang Nansun thought for a while, then shook his head slightly and said truthfully:
"They are all professional works, and there are so many text introductions and leadership concerns. I don't think they look good, but they are very practical. The leaders in the department will definitely like them, so don't worry!"
Hearing the similar comments about Jiang Nansun and Lillian, Zhang Anren felt a little sad. This was indeed the case. He wanted to make a work that his leaders liked, but naturally he could not take into account ordinary students like Jiang Nansun and Lillian.
But unlike Lilian, Jiang Nansun would not say that his works are good-looking just because he likes him. Thinking of this, Zhang Anren calmed down slightly, looked at Jiang Nansun and said with a smile:
"You're right. It's useless to look good. The key is to be practical. Let me tell you another very good news. This morning, in the teaching assistant's office, I met Lilian. I talked to her and she will convince me.
Professor Dong, write your name in the brochure of Songjiang Boutique Hotel!"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Anren would tell such good news. Jiang Nansun's face was stunned, his eyes flickered and he hesitated:
"I didn't do anything?"
Thinking that Jiang Nansun's dazed look was because he was too surprised, Zhang Anren pretended to be humble and said:
"Since you participated, of course your name should appear in the hotel's brochure. I helped you fight for it. What's more, this is the first important project you have participated in!"
"You came all the way to Songjiang just to tell me this news?"
Looking at the slightly unfamiliar Zhang Anren, without waiting for his response, Jiang Nansun forced a smile and said:
"You just need to make a phone call!"
Not noticing anything unusual about Jiang Nansun, Zhang Anren was still there and said in a soft voice:
"This is of course important news for you. After the hotel brochure is finished, you can ask Lillian or Professor Dong for a few more copies and keep them as a souvenir for yourself. You can also include them in your resume in the future.
Last one!"
Glancing at Zhang Anren, who had a gentle face, Jiang Nansun didn't say anything. He just turned around and took a brochure of Songjiang Boutique Hotel from the tool table not far away and handed it to Zhang Anren.
After receiving the hotel's brochure, Zhang Anren looked dazed and forced a smile:
"You've got it?"
Jiang Nansun nodded slightly, looked to the side and said:
"A soft decoration designer came from school, and Lillian asked him to bring a copy to Wang Yongzheng, who then gave it to me."
Zhang Anren looked down at the hotel brochure in his hand and said in a hesitant voice:
"Then Wang Yongzheng didn't tell you anything, did he?"
"It's nothing. You also asked me to keep it as a souvenir."
Seeing the lonely and disappointed look in Jiang Nansun's eyes, Zhang Anren knew that she had seen through his lie, but she just didn't say it clearly. He swallowed and reluctantly explained:
"Nan Sun, I just want to try my best to behave better every time I'm in front of you. I hope I can be worthy of you, that's all!"
"Forget it, let's not talk about this!"
Jiang Nansun shook his head slightly, picked up a piece of snack from Zhang Anren's hand and said with a smile:
"Eat something, I happen to be hungry!"
Seeing Jiang Nansun regain her smile, Zhang Anren quickly handed the snack in his hand to her and said with a smile:
"Nan Sun, these are your favorite snacks. Eat more when you are hungry. The construction site is so hard and the food is poor. Just tell me what you want to eat and I will send you food every day!"
While Jiang Nansun was eating the snacks handed over by Zhang Anren, he shook his head slightly and said with a smile:
"No, you should go and do your own thing. Now is a critical period for you and Wang Yongzheng to compete for the place to stay in school. I can't delay your work. Don't worry. From now on, the pampered Princess Jiang will slowly
Adapted to the self-reliant Cinderella!"
Hearing Jiang Nansun say this, Zhang Anren's face was slightly stunned, and then he restored his smile and expressed his loyalty:
"Nan Sun, whether you are the pampered Princess Jiang or the self-reliant Cinderella, I will always be the knight who stays by your side to take care of you and protect you!"
After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Nansun to respond, Zhang Anren looked at her and asked:
"Nan Sun, what were you going to tell me before?"
Hearing this, Jiang Nansun raised his head and looked at Zhang Anren and said:
"Nothing, it's still about my dad's stock trading. He lost a lot of money and wants to borrow some from you. Are you willing to lend it to him?"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Nansun would mention borrowing money from him, so Zhang Anren blurted out:
"Nansun, you know that I only get a small salary every month. In addition to the mortgage and basic living expenses, I also have to leave some emergency funds. I have no money. Can't you just ask your uncle to buy less stocks?
?”
Looking at Zhang Anren who rejected him directly, Jiang Nansun continued to test:
"Zhang Anren, didn't you deposit some money in your bank card? In other words, can you take some money from home and help my father first, and I will pay it back to you later!"
Looking at Jiang Nansun who was raising money from him for the first time, Zhang Anren frowned slightly and said:
"Nansun, the money in my bank card cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary. If my uncle gets sick or something, I can lend it to him, but he lost money by trading stocks, so I can't use that money.
Besides, in my family, my parents are old and they live on the pension. My son doesn’t give them much money, let alone take money from them!”
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Nansun who looked calm and said:
"Nansun, don't worry about it. Uncle will solve it on his own. He has been trading stocks for so many years and he will definitely have his own way. You and I can't help him. We are too weak to do anything!"
Looking at Zhang Anren who persuaded him to let go, Jiang Nansun suddenly smiled and said:
"Just kidding, I still have some savings at home, and the house is still there. If my father was really in debt, he wouldn't ask you to borrow money. How much money do you have?
However, I am very dissatisfied with your performance today. I personally asked you to borrow money. It’s not that I don’t know your financial situation. What I need is not how much money you can lend me, but your willingness to protect me.
Yu's attitude, when I need your help, I hope you can go all out to help me instead of telling me how difficult it is."
It was the first time that Jiang Nansun was dissatisfied with him. Although she was joking, Zhang Anren still explained nervously:
"Nansun, I thought it was your father who asked me to borrow money. If it were you, I would definitely go all out to help you. Not to mention the money in the bank card. Even if I lose everything, I will help you and protect you.
of!"
Listening to Zhang Anren's vow, Jiang Nansun rolled his eyes and joked while eating snacks and drinking coffee:
"Are you allowed that Zhang Anren is a good son who is filial to his parents, and I, Jiang Nansun, am a rebellious and bad daughter? I am the only daughter in the Jiang family. If you want to marry me, my parents, and grandma, they will
They are your family members, and they may still rely on you to support them until they die!"
After that, she looked at Zhang Anren who looked slightly stunned and said seriously:
"The four members of our family have always lived a well-fed life, with many bad habits. If the Jiang family goes bankrupt or is even heavily in debt, these may weigh on your shoulders and make you breathless for the rest of your life.
Come on, if this is the case, Zhang Anren, are you still willing to marry me?"
He only thought that Jiang Nansun was joking with him. Zhang Anren had never considered the bankruptcy of the Jiang family, and it was out of the question to be heavily in debt. Now that he had the opportunity to show his loyalty, Zhang Anren immediately swore to the sky:
"Nansun, I, Zhang Anren, keep my word. Since I have decided to marry you, your parents are my parents, and your grandma is my grandma. I will definitely treat them well and provide for them until they die.
of!"
Looking at Zhang Anren's words, Jiang Nansun was not confident for the first time:
