Before she finished speaking, the mobile phone in her bag rang.
Tan Shi, who was driving, glanced at her, smiled, and said nothing more so that Wu Mengjie could answer the phone.
Wu Mengjie took out her mobile phone from her bag and saw "Mom" on the caller ID.
She smiled and answered.
"Hey, Mom, why did you remember to call me at this time?"
Her mother's voice came from the mobile phone, "Xiaojie, is it convenient for you to talk on the phone now?"
Wu Mengjie subconsciously glanced at Tan Shi beside her, "Well, it's convenient. Mom, do you have something to tell me?"
"Well, Xiaojie, let me tell you something. You have to be mentally prepared. Don't, don't be afraid, okay?"
Wu Mengjie frowned slightly, having a bad feeling in her heart.
"Mom, what's going on? Just tell me! It's okay, I'm very brave!"
"Xiaojie, um..."
The mother on the phone just started talking, and before she could say anything, she broke down and cried.
Wu Mengjie's heart sank, and her bad premonition became stronger.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Don't cry! What happened? Tell me quickly!"
"Well...Xiaojie, Xiaojie, something big happened. Your brother had a driving accident and crashed several good cars. As you know, he was taking the driver's license test recently and he hasn't gotten his driver's license yet! Now he suddenly crashed
The insurance company won't pay for the car, Xiaojie, what do you think we should do? I heard that one of the cars he crashed into this time seems to be very expensive!"
Wu Mengjie: "???"
After being stunned for several seconds, Wu Mengjie frowned and asked, "Where did Ashun get his car? He hasn't even gotten his driver's license yet, what kind of car is he driving?"
"He borrowed the car from his friend and crashed it while practicing driving in private!"
…
After a while, when the call ended, Wu Mengjie was in a daze and her face was pale.
Her family background is quite average, not considered a wealthy family.
If she lives a normal life, she has plenty of money, but her ability to withstand risks is average. If something like this happened this time, it would be an unbearable burden for her family.
Her mother told her on the phone just now that her brother Ashun hit three cars in one go this time, one of which was a Daben.
This time not only did the car crash, but the people in the car were also injured.
Because her brother Ah Shun had not yet obtained his driver's license, he was driving without a license. The insurance company was unwilling to pay any compensation, so her family had to pay for the losses of the three vehicles and the injured person.
Although no one was killed in this car accident, it is a great blessing among misfortunes.
but……
The amount of compensation is still a huge amount for their family. Just now, her mother asked her on the phone if there was any way to raise some money to go back.
Probably because when she called home a few days ago, she said that she had been promoted and became the president's secretary, and her salary was not low.
Tan Shi, who was driving, glanced at Wu Mengjie in the passenger seat.
Tan Shi also heard some of Wu Mengjie's phone call just now, at least she heard what Wu Mengjie said.
Therefore, Tan Shi also knew what happened to Wu Mengjie's family at this time.
Tan Shi was a little speechless, smiled slightly and shook her head.
I feel like Wu Mengjie’s younger brother is really a talent. He dared to drive on the road even before he got his driver’s license, and even hit three cars in one breath. He is really a little master at cheating!
Seeing Wu Mengjie so lost, Tan Shi felt sympathy, reached out and patted Wu Mengjie's shoulder, comforting him: "Look at it! Things have happened, and there is no use thinking about anything else now. It's better to face it well and find a way to solve the problem.
Bar!"
Wu Mengjie turned to look at Tan Shi, her mouth opened slightly, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't really say it.
She actually subconsciously wanted to borrow money from Tan Shi just now.
She knew that Tan Shi was the cousin of the boss Xu Tongdao and had worked with Xu Tongdao for many years, so Tan Shi should be quite rich.
At least as far as she knew, Tan Shi had a car and a house, so she looked like a wealthy young woman.
but……
She really couldn't open her mouth.
She had only known Tan Shi for a few days. Although she and Tan Shi both worked at Ximen Group, because of her low position, she had no chance to interact with Tan Shi, the assistant to the president.
Moreover, she just submitted her resignation to Comrade Xu today.
At this time, why should she ask Tan Shi to borrow money again? Is Wu Mengjie good-looking?
The question is - whether she is good-looking or not, what does it have to do with Tan Shi?
She is a woman, and Tan Shi is also a woman. There is no way that Tan Shi can covet Wu Mengjie's beauty. Therefore, even if she wants to sell herself at a good price, Tan Shi does not belong to her customer group.
In the end, Wu Mengjie could only force out a smile and whispered thank you.
Tan Shi smiled and asked casually: "Xiao Wu, now that something like this has happened to your brother, do you still insist on resigning?"
Wu Mengjie: "..."
This question is great.
Wu Mengjie found that she didn't know how to answer for a while.
If you insist on resigning, your family's financial situation will definitely get worse.
If you change your words and don’t resign...
She had just submitted her resignation letter to her boss more than half an hour ago, and she had to change her words even after an hour had passed. It was really a bit shameful!
Tan Shi caught a glimpse of her embarrassed face and hesitated to speak, so she smiled softly, nodded, and said: "Okay, I know what you mean, let's do this! I'll tell Mr. Xu for you later and say you changed your mind.
, I won’t resign, okay?”
What else could Wu Mengjie say?
I could only force out a smile and thank you softly.
Because of her brother Ah Shun's car crash, she suddenly had many problems in front of her.
For example: Is the boss still willing to let her be his secretary?
For example: How to raise the compensation this time? Can it be raised? What will happen if the compensation is really not enough?
Another example: If the resignation is revoked, how will Meng Tao deal with it?
etc.
For a woman like her who had just graduated from school, it was really unbearable to suddenly encounter such a big thing.
Even if she graduated from Peking University, it would be the same.
…
evening.
In a cafe.
Wu Mengjie sat alone at a table in the corner, frowning and waiting quietly.
a long time.
Meng Tao's figure appeared in front of her. Seeing that she was in a daze, Meng Tao laughed and waved his hand in front of her eyes, "Hey, what are you thinking about?"
Asking, he sat down opposite her.
Wu Mengjie had already ordered coffee for him.
Hearing this, Wu Mengjie came back to her senses, focused her eyes on Meng Tao's face, frowned, and asked hesitantly: "Meng, Meng Tao, considering how many years we have been dating, can you lend me a sum of money?
I promise to pay you back in the future, okay?"
In the city of Tianyun, the person she currently has the deepest relationship with is her ex-boyfriend Meng Tao.
Apart from that, there are some colleagues with whom we have ordinary relationships.
As for the boss, Tongdao Xu?
She had only been working as his secretary for a few days and she insisted on resigning today. She was really embarrassed to borrow money from Comrade Xu.
Therefore, after much thought, her ex-boyfriend Meng Tao is her biggest hope at the moment.
