"Mr. Yuan, here is your shopping receipt, which can be redeemed for points. There is also a bank card. Please keep it!"
Taking his bank card and shopping receipt from Wang Manni, Yuan Xudong put the bank card into his wallet, then stuffed the shopping receipt into her hand and said with a smile:
"I'm sorry to trouble you today. I'll give you this shopping receipt. If you have any questions, I'll contact you via WeChat. Bye!"
Looking at the shopping receipt in her hand, Wang Manni was stunned for a while. When she came to her senses, she saw Yuan Xudong leading Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun out of the Misia store. She quickly chased after him and stopped Yuan Xudong from leaving the shopping receipt.
He handed him the ticket and said:
"Mr. Yuan, I can't accept your shopping receipt, thank you!"
After saying that, she took a few steps back, looked at Yuan Xudong and the others, bowed and smiled:
"Mr. Yuan, Miss Zhu, Miss Jiang, welcome to visit us next time, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After Yuan Xudong led Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun to leave, Nancy and a group of colleagues gathered around, applauded and congratulated Wang Manni and said:
"Nini, you are so great. You have a big order of nearly 4 million. You used to work so much harder than others every day. Now you are here to support you. Are you wearing some good luck treasure?"
"There is no good luck treasure, I just changed it to a lipstick."
Rolling her eyes at Nancy, Wang Manni patted her chest with one hand and held her waist with the other, frowning and smiling:
"You don't know how nervous I was. I didn't dare to take a sip of water because I was afraid of going to the toilet. Now I'm fine. I signed such a big order. Today is really my lucky day to meet a big customer like Mr. Yuan!"
"You don't drink water or go to the toilet, who doesn't?"
Seeing everyone surrounding Wang Manni, Linda couldn't help but let out a strange sound. Then she seemed to think of something, and she hurried towards the VIP room. Nancy glanced at her and said with disdain:
"She just wants to be jealous of others and steal other people's business. Why is she still going to the VIP room after Mr. Yuan has left?"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Wang Manni's complexion changed slightly. She didn't care about the pain in her back. She quickly ran to the VIP room. Sure enough, she saw Linda walking out with the suit that Yuan Xudong had changed. She quickly stopped Linda and said:
"Linda, this is Mr. Yuan's suit. I want to clean it and return it. Just give it to me!"
"It's okay. I'm also responsible for this. I'd better wash it. I'll leave it to Mr. Yuan when he comes over next time!"
Seeing that the two were arguing again, the deputy store manager walked over, looked at Linda and persuaded:
"Linda, give it to Nini. You don't have Mr. Yuan's WeChat account. We are all colleagues, so don't hurt the harmony!"
Hearing that the deputy store manager supported Wang Manni, Linda had to let go, returned the suit to her and said with a smile:
"I see that Manny seems a little uncomfortable, and I want to help her. Since Manny doesn't want to, then forget it!"
"Thank you, Linda!"
Wang Manni took the suit and thanked her with a smile, but her face became paler. Seeing her sick look, the deputy store manager frowned slightly and said:
"Nini, why do you look so ugly? Give the clothes to Linda and go to the hospital for a checkup!"
"No need, assistant shop, I have an old problem with back pain. The pain will go away after a while. It's not a problem!"
"Then you should pay attention to yourself. If anything happens, just tell me and I will adjust your shift for you."
"I understand, thank you to the assistant store!"
With a slight thank you, Wang Manni took Yuan Xudong's suit and walked to the counter, ready to pack it. Seeing that she had difficulty walking, Nancy quickly walked over and supported her and said:
"Nini, let me take you to the hospital. Your face looks too scary!"
"No, it's been hurting for several days. It'll be fine in a while!"
Shaking her head slightly, Wang Manni pressed her waist hard, frowned, handed the suit in her hand to Nancy, and said feebly:
"Nancy, help me wrap Mr. Yuan's suit. I'm afraid it will get dirty."
"okay!"
Taking the suit from Wang Manni, Nancy packed it up, looked at Wang Manni and said with a smile:
"Nini, Mr. Yuan is really nice to you. Such nice clothes were stained by you and Linda, but he was not angry at all. He even signed such a big deal with you. Seriously, do you have a feeling of shock?
Feeling excited?"
Rolling her eyes at Nancy, Wang Manni teased her and said:
"I already have a girlfriend, and you asked me if I have a fluttering feeling. I think it's you, little girl, who is tempted, right?"
"so what?"
Nancy returned the packed suit to Wang Manni and said with a curious expression:
"Seriously, if Mr. Yuan pursues you, are you willing to agree to it?"
After taking a look at Nancy, Wang Manni said seriously:
"I'm almost thirty. If Mr. Yuan really pursues me and is willing to marry me, do you think I will refuse?"
After saying that, without waiting for Nancy to respond, she said with a self-deprecating expression:
"You don't know how conflicted I was when Mr. Yuan thrust the shopping receipt into my hand. Nearly 4 million points can be exchanged for 200,000 gift certificates, which is more than my annual salary.
He gave it away without blinking an eye. If he is willing to give me a piece of high-end jewelry, I will dare to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with him to get the certificate tomorrow!"
Looking at Wang Manni with a longing expression, Nancy burst out laughing and teased her:
"Nini, I think you are the one who is tempted. Unfortunately, Mr. Yuan already has a girlfriend, and she is so beautiful. He will definitely not fall in love with small sales people like us. It is better to just find an ordinary boyfriend."
"That's not okay. I have been waiting for so many years. I can't wrong myself like this. I hope my future boyfriend will be rich, be gentle and considerate to me, and be handsome!"
"Isn't that Mr. Yuan?"
"screw you!"
As night falls, the lanterns come on.
After Wang Manni promised to invite everyone to a dinner as soon as her salary was paid, her coworkers let her go. She endured the pain in her back and took the subway home alone. She put down the suit and bag in her hands and looked at the empty rental house.
After she rested for a while, her cell phone rang.
Pressing the answer button, Wang Manni endured the pain in her back, steeled herself and smiled:
"mom!"
"Nini, are you home?"
"I just came back, what can I do for you?"
"Why do I feel weak when I hear you talk?"
"It's okay, I'm a little tired today, I just need to rest for a while!"
"Every time I call you, you say everything is fine and you have to do everything yourself. Do you hear me?"
"I heard it, Mom, tell me if you have something to say, I want to take a rest!"
"There are two things I want to discuss with you. Over the years, you have sent back a lot of money in various ways. Your father and I have saved it and haven't spent it. In total, we added some more and made up 100,000.
Yuan, your father and I thought."
"Don't I tell you every month not to save? It's only two thousand yuan a month, just for you as pocket money. Why don't you listen?"
"We have no place to spend money. You are alone in Shanghai and there are many places to spend money. It's better to save a little."
"The expenses here depend on earning or saving. I can just make a few more business deals a month. You just give me three meals a day and add another dish. If I can feel better, you can't make me feel at ease."
"Okay, okay, if you don't save it, can you make a big sum of money? Can't you do big things?"
"What big thing are you doing?"
"We want to use this money to find connections and find you a good job when you come back!"
"When did I say I was going home?"
"Three years ago, you said that when you were thirty, you would either buy a house in Shanghai or find someone to marry who owns a house. If you didn't have either, you would just go home.
You will be thirty in a few months, and I see that neither of the two wishes you made seems to be possible. Nini, just accept your fate, go home, find a job, and find a boyfriend to get married.
How nice it is to live a down-to-earth life!
If you insist on living in that big city, with a monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan, you have to pay rent, you have to give us living expenses, and you have to dress and eat, how much money can you save throughout the year?"
"If I don't go back, I will die in Shanghai. Tell me another thing. I want to rest."
"Nini, I found a blind date for you. His home is in the next town. The young man is quite handsome. The neighbors all praise him for being down-to-earth and steady. He is a few years younger than you. By the way, he also works in Shanghai.
I asked his sister for her WeChat account and mobile phone number, how about you two meet up?"
"Mom, you are my biological mother, can you be more reliable? You have introduced me to so many blind dates, but none of them are reliable, so I won't go!"
"Nini, listen to me. This time it must be reliable. I have inquired about it clearly. I have asked many people. Everyone said that the young man is good and an honest child. Nini, are you listening?"
In Zhu Suosuo's rental house, a cell phone rang. Looking at the unfamiliar caller ID, Yuan Xudong frowned slightly and pressed the answer button.
"I am!"
"Okay, I know!"
"Don't worry, I'll be there right away!"
"You're welcome, that's right!"
After hanging up the phone and seeing Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun looking at him, Yuan Xudong said calmly:
"Susuo, Nansun, you guys should go to bed early. A friend is sick and hospitalized. Her mother is not around. She asked me to go over and take a look."
"Nan Sun and I will accompany you there."
"No, I may have to stay in the hospital to take care of her. You have to go to work tomorrow, and Nansun is in a bad mood. You talk to her and get some rest early."
"Okay, it's so late, please drive carefully and see you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow!"
While marking the unknown caller as Mrs. Wang, she drove to the First People's Hospital according to the address given by the caller. Unexpectedly, Wang Manni, who was fine during the day, was admitted to the emergency room at night. She had no one in Shanghai, and Mrs. Wang
She didn't know the phone number of her colleague or friend, so she had no choice but to trouble her blind date.
According to Wang's mother, she and her mother formed a united front for a blind date. Before she could notify the two young people to meet, Wang Manni fell ill and was hospitalized. She had no choice but to ask her, a blind date who had only seen photos, to go.
The hospital will take care of Wang Manni. She and her husband will come to Shanghai tomorrow to take care of their daughter personally.
About thirty minutes later, Yuan Xudong rushed to the emergency room of the First People's Hospital. Under the guidance of two nurses on duty, he walked into the ward where Wang Manni was located. It was an ordinary three-person ward. Wang Manni was lying sideways.
Lying on the hospital bed in the middle.
When he came closer, he saw Wang Manni's face was pale, she was biting her lips and trembling slightly. She closed her eyes and wept secretly. The tears dripped from the corners of her eyes onto the pillow. It was obviously when she was at her weakest. Yuan Xudong squatted down and replaced her.
She wiped away her tears, straightened her long hair, and said in a gentle voice:
"Nini, it's okay, just have a sleep and you'll be fine."
When Yuan Xudong wiped her tears, she had already opened her eyes. Looking at the gentle and considerate Yuan Xudong, and hearing his words of concern for her, Wang Manni reached out to wipe her tears and cried harder:
"Mr. Yuan, why are you here?"
After that, she was about to struggle to sit up. Yuan Xudong quickly held her down and let her lie back on the hospital bed. He also helped her arrange the quilt and gently covered her exposed shoulders and arms. After doing this
, he squatted in front of Wang Manni, straightened her temples and explained:
"Your mother called me. They will come over tomorrow and I will take care of you here for one night."
Hearing what Yuan Xudong said, Wang Manni opened her eyes slightly and said with disbelief:
"Mr. Yuan, are you the blind date my mother said?"
Nodding slightly, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"I just found out. I had several phone calls with my family before, but I didn't ask for the details of the blind date. I didn't expect it to be you. If I had known earlier, I would have run to see you as soon as possible."
Just thinking that Yuan Xudong was complimenting herself, Wang Manni burst into tears and said with a smile:
"You didn't know me before. If you had known my name, you wouldn't have come to look for me. Besides, you already have a girlfriend, why are you dating me?"
This question was difficult to answer, so Yuan Xudong decided to be more cautious. He smiled and changed the subject:
"Don't all blind dates have photos? You are so beautiful, I will definitely run over to see you. Besides, we are fellow villagers and meeting each other in Shanghai is a kind of fate in itself, don't you think so?"
When she heard Yuan Xudong complimenting herself on her beauty, and thinking that she was very sick and didn't wear makeup, she quickly retracted her head into the quilt and said in a loud voice:
"Am I ugly now?"
Just when Yuan Xudong was about to tell some white lies, the ward round nurse came in. Seeing Yuan Xudong accompanying Wang Manni, she said directly:
"Are you a family member of the patient?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong nod slightly, she glanced at Wang Manni who was hiding under the quilt and said:
"The patient has acute nephritis, and the indicators are mild. Once the medication is under control, he can go back. He can take a week off to rest. If there is no problem, just take some medicine and he will be fine.
In the future, you should pay attention to your health, drink more water, and don't have the habit of holding in your urine. By the way, please go and pay the fee. The patient was pulled in by 120 after he was unconscious and has not paid the fee."
