As colleagues, everyone appeared kind and friendly on the surface. However, when it came to money, nothing was certain.

Even if they stayed in the same dormitory, who knew what kind of person the roommates were?

I wont lose it, Miao Jing answered confidently. Ive already acc.u.mulated a hundred yuan. Im going to return this to someone.

She had earned this sum of money with her hard work. She could finally repay the favors of the Zhai family.

Even if there wasnt enough money and it was far less than what the Zhai family had spent on her, it was fine. She was still young.

She would return a hundred yuan this time and another hundred yuan the next. A few years down the road, she could naturally clear her debt.

That relative of yours?

Her colleague had heard of Miao Jings situation.

There was no choice. Miao Jings monthly salary was fifty to sixty yuan. That was quite a lot.

However, Miao Jing was always reluctant to spend it on food or clothes. When the salary was paid, she always kept it well. She had never seen her spend a single cent.

Based on this, couldnt Miao Jing save a hundred yuan after two months?

Speaking of which, that relative of yours treats you well.

Upon thinking that Miao Jing had no parents but her relative was willing to fetch her over to stay and groom her to study, she felt that it was really rare to have such honest relatives nowadays.

Yes, I will definitely repay them well in the future.

Miao Jing was well-liked in the factory as she felt grateful to others and was seeking ways to return their kindness.

Even if Miao Jing rarely mentioned this relatives situation and didnt share much content other than she was full of grat.i.tude, anyone could guess that Miao Jings relative was in good condition.

Why was that the case?

Miao Jings job was not bad, right?

Being a worker at a factory was a good job that many people yearned for.

One had to know that everyone knew how many workers were needed in each factory. Under normal circ.u.mstances, newbies couldnt get in.

Only if the parents working as workers gave up their positions to their children would there be slight changes to personnel in the factory.

When Miao Jing got in, no one in the factory had given up their position for her. That said, Miao Jings relative was really capable.

Secondly, look at Miao Jings dressing.

Miao Jings clothes werent bad, and they were fifty to sixty percent new.

Miao Jing had said before that she didnt have parents. So, where did these new clothes come from? They must have been bought by that relative.

Miao Jing had such a capable and wealthy relative. As long as Miao Jing was more thick-skinned and stayed close to them, Miao Jing could rely on them for a living forever without having to work.

However, Miao Jing didnt. Not only did she take the initiative to work, but she even saved all her salary so that she could pay the relative back.

Based on Miao Jings actions, the elders in the factory thought highly of her. They felt that she was a rare good girl.

Really, based on Miao Jings good character, a lot of people would have gone to the Miao family and wanted them to be their in-laws if not for Miao Jing having no parents and there was no one left in her family.

However, even if that was the case, it wasnt that no one had developed a sharp eye for discovering capable people.

On the contrary, people who fancied Miao Jing and wanted to find a chance to interact with her might not be the best-rounded, but their conditions werent bad.

Miao Jing, are you really not joining us for the movie the night after tomorrow? Dont worry about it being too late. A lot of male colleagues from our factory will be going as well. Its definitely safe. If it wasnt safe, I wouldnt have dared to go myself. Her colleague blinked and said to Miao Jing, Youre going to your relatives house tomorrow. You can watch a movie the day after tomorrow. Isnt this schedule great? There wont be any delay at all.

Miao Jing shook her head. Im not going. Watching a movie costs money.

Rather than spending money on boring things like watching movies, shed rather save it so that she could return it to the Zhai family sooner.

Her colleague became anxious. How much does it cost for a movie ticket? Furthermore, you dont have to spend a single cent. Someones treating you!

Most importantly, the person treating her was a male colleague!

Miao Jing insisted. If someones treating, then all the more Im not going. Its not easy for me to earn money. It isnt easy for anyone to earn money. How would I have the cheek to take advantage of people like that? How can I go just because someones willing to treat me? Im not going.

She was really not used to spending other peoples money. Its late. Im tired. I shall sleep first.

As she said this, Miao Jing packed up her things and removed her clothes. She lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

Upon seeing Miao Jing like this, her colleague sighed. Did Miao Jing understand? If male and female colleagues went to watch a movie together, it was equivalent to going on a date.

Miao Jing had already moved out of her relatives house. She had to find a marriage partner and give birth to children, right?

Seeing that they were still young and could afford to be picky, Miao Jing should look around more.

Dont casually find someone to marry only after they became old. That would be suffering a loss.

Her colleague had the heart to persuade her, but Miao Jing was already asleep. Out of helplessness, her colleague could only sleep as well. She was thinking of how to explain to that male colleague who fancied Miao Jing the day after tomorrow so that he wouldnt misunderstand her.

It was fine that they didnt make it to the movies this time. There was always another time.

The times were different now. The movies in the cinema played at an increased frequency.

Miao Miao, youre here to visit Aunt?

Once Miao Jing returned to the Zhai family, the sick Grandma Zhai immediately regained her spirits. She held Miao Jings hand and sat down. When they chatted, she looked alive. How were you at the factory for the past two months? Have you adapted well? Are you getting along well with your colleagues? Did anyone bully you?

Grandma Zhais nervous look was as if her daughter who had just joined the workforce was finally home. Grandma Zhai was afraid that her precious daughter would be bullied outside and wouldnt tell her that she was suffering.

Miao Jing understood that Grandma Zhai was concerned about her. As such, she shared some details with her. Aunt, dont worry. My colleagues treat me well. They even invited me to watch a movie tomorrow. There would be a lot of people.

A lot of people?! Grandma Zhai became alert. Are they all female colleagues?

No, there are male colleagues as well. They invited me to a movie and even said that I dont need to pay as theyll be treating me. You really dont have to worry about me. Im good outside.

The speaker had no particular intention of mentioning something, but the listener read too much into it.

There were male colleagues, and they even wanted to pay for Miao Jings movie ticket. If nothing was brewing, Grandma Zhai expressed that she would have lived for years in vain. A male colleague invited you to a movie? Is it during the day or night?

Its not a male colleague who invited me but my female colleague who lives in the same dormitory as me. Its at night. Its because its at night that male colleagues are joining us.. Its safer for everyone to stay together.
