Fanwai R (Free Chapter): If Weiwei hadn't died in her previous life
When Ding Wei woke up from a trance, her forehead had been pressed with red marks by the steering wheel.
She was sitting alone in the driver's seat. The neighborhood was so quiet that no one noticed that she had briefly passed out.
Looking at my phone again, apart from the endless DingTalk messages, there is no concern from my parents.
so……
If she died suddenly here this afternoon, when would her parents find out?
Ding Wei sat there blankly, thinking about her life in the past few years, and felt extremely ironic.
The memo on her mobile phone also records all the things she wants to buy for her parents when she returns home, as well as the big and small bills in the past year.
Thinking of the younger brother at home who could only cry, Ding Wei took a deep breath, felt her slowing heartbeat, and slowly read the bill from beginning to end.
In one year, the money spent just to honor my parents is close to 80,000 yuan.
Not to mention this year’s Chinese medicine bills, fishing equipment, various skin care products...
If she hadn't taken a part-time financial job elsewhere, how could she have maintained her current consumption, and how could she have saved any money?
Ding Wei smiled sarcastically.
Perhaps for my parents, in addition to being a personal cash machine, I also bear the important responsibility of maintaining face and honor.
But can't she live a good life alone?
Dusk was approaching, and the open car window brought a chill. Ding Wei folded her arms and her heart became cold.
She closed her eyes and slowly thought about her future.
——She has already passed two exams. According to the company’s support for employees’ exams, when she gets the certificate, her salary will go up to a higher level.
It can even be said to be a leap forward.
Do I still have to provide this money to my parents endlessly?
…
The sky is getting dark gradually.
People slowly began to move around the community, and no one noticed that Ding Wei was still sitting silently in the dark car.
In this short half-day, she experienced the boundary between life and death, and also figured out her future path.
Looking at the old and familiar seventh floor, she slowly exhaled—
Make money.
New year, new start.
Work hard and save more money. I hope she can have her own home by the Chinese New Year next year.
In this case, she will not be persistently attached to this indifferent home.
The car started slowly and slowly merged into the dense traffic on the road.
Her comings and goings were quiet, just like her own silent position at home.
…
one year later.
"...Mom, you said you would save money for me at first, but now what's wrong with lending me some money?"
"I can't even eat..."
"You still ask me for money, how can I have money?"
"How do I have money for your son's early childhood education? How do I have money?"
"How many times have I told you that I made a major mistake and now I have to compensate the company hundreds of thousands, and all my monthly salary is deducted!"
"I don't want to make a mistake. I made a mistake because I was too tired driving back from the Chinese New Year..."
"mom!"
"Mom, where is my money?"
Ding Wei stood downstairs with a document bag in her hands and finished the call slowly. The calm expression on her face did not match her anxious words at all.
After hanging up the phone, she even had a smile on her lips and had time to send a message to her parents——
[Mom, since you and my dad can’t get the money out, I can only take out a loan online. When my brother is older and doesn’t spend money so much, remember to return my money to me so that I can pay off the debt...
…]
She sent the message, stuffed the phone back into her bag, turned around and prepared to go upstairs with confidence.
However, when she looked back, she saw a handsome and fair man standing behind her and looking at her with a smile.
The other person's eyes were gentle and his expression was calm, and he didn't have any thoughts about what he just heard.
Seeing her look over her, the other party lowered her head implicitly to apologize:
"Sorry, I didn't mean to do it. I'm waiting for someone here."
Ding Wei was rarely embarrassed.
She remembered this face.
It's amazing, isn't it?
Several years ago, she had a quick glance at him at school. Although the two of them had nothing in common, she was surprisingly impressed by him.
In the past few years of working, I can often see news about this person from school forums or friends' circles.
Especially during the year when she was taking the entrance examination, the training class was located downstairs in the company of the person in front of her, and the two occasionally had brief glances in the elevator.
It's really strange.
Ding Wei thought to herself - why is she always so impressed by him?
But seeing the other party's apologetic look, and thinking about what she just told her parents, Ding Wei felt uncomfortable:
"nothing."
She said dryly.
The other person smiled slightly, and his whole person became lively in an instant.
"I've met you many times—I've always thought I'd take the liberty of introducing myself."
He did not reach out for business social interaction, but continued to maintain a soft smile.
"Hello, my name is Xie Yan. In front of the Wang Xie Hall, a gentleman would say thank you in a few words."
Ding Wei quickly said:
"I know you, senior brother Xie Yan, I saw you in school."
Xie Yan's expression became softer and softer: "Under the ginkgo tree, right? I remember you."
That was all many years ago.
However, when facing Ding Wei's expression, his eyes were exceptionally gentle:
"Then...can we get to know each other?"
…
Ding Wei had regained her calm demeanor at this moment and tried to calm down her mood before finding the QR code.
While both parties were scanning the QR code to add, the strange yet familiar Senior Brother Xie in front of them spoke.
"If you want to get rid of entanglements at home, it's not enough to just rely on phone calls and text messages."
"I know a company that handles private business. You can buy a package for 500 yuan, and the other party will make a debt collection call to your family and send you repayment collection information."
The voice was clear and light, and the voice was smooth and soft, as if he was talking about what he had eaten this morning.
Ding Wei looked up in shock.
She was speechless for a while as she looked at the alumni brother who failed in the mentorship program but finally succeeded in starting a business on his own ability.
Xie Yan frowned slightly and now smiled apologetically:
"Sorry, what I said may not be appropriate."
"No."
Ding Wei smiled and shook her head, her whole body calmed down and regained her usual composure.
"Thank you, senior brother, I need it very much."
"So, could you please take the time to introduce me to that store?"
She looked at the folder in her arms, her tone full of joy——
"As a thank you, and also as a celebration for the fact that I just received my PA certificate today - senior brother, I would like to treat you to a meal."
Xie Yan looked at her and suddenly blinked, his thick and curled eyelashes sweeping over Ding Wei's heart like a brush.
Just listen to his soft answer.
"It just so happens that today I also met someone I've always wanted to meet."
