Chapter 1695

Huo Xueying had been wanting to change jobs for a long time.

When she was single, she just endured it, but now that she was in a relationship, she already had little time to spend with her boyfriend, and her stingy boss always wanted one person to do the work of three, leading to more and more overtime.

However, someone like her without outstanding professional skills would likely encounter the same kind of boss no matter where she jumped to, so it remained just a thought.

Now that she had finally resigned after much hesitation, she hadn't found a new job yet, so she was feeling quite a bit of pressure.

Seeing the message Song Tan sent, she instinctively refused: "I haven't settled on a new job yet, I'm planning to take this opportunity to go to a few more interviews..."

Song Tan knew the bitterness of being a wage slave, so she didn't try to persuade her much, just saying simply:

【There are high-speed trains from Ningcheng to Yuncheng at any time, the journey takes two hours. From the station to my place, there's a village car to pick you up, which takes seventy or eighty minutes.】

【You don't need to bring anything; it's a homestay where you can move right in—if you feel bad about it, you can also stay at my cousin's place.】

【You can eat with me every day, or if you still feel bad, the mountain canteen is also fine.】

【If you're not happy, just come stay for two days after you've settled your job. Coming over on Friday night after work and going back on Sunday night is also doable.】

After sending this, Song Tan thought for a moment and added:

【If you really don't have time, it doesn't matter. It just so happens that we're about to pick peaches; I'll send you a box when I'm done.】

Huo Xueying:...

Her expression was gloomy as she suddenly reached out and pinched her cheek—"Ouch! It doesn't hurt! That proves my skin is thick!"

So she quickly sent a message: "Then can I have my boyfriend drive over?"

She hadn't put her driver's license into practice yet!

After thinking about it, she added: "Please, rich lady!"

Zheng Qu hadn't finished work yet when he received a call from his girlfriend: "Going to Yuncheng on Friday, to Song Tan's place. Are you free? If you are, think about what we have at home that we can bring!"

Zheng Qu:...?? Is it that sudden? Today is Thursday!

"I haven't asked for leave yet..." he said instinctively, but his girlfriend was already anxious:

"No need to ask for leave. We'll drive over Friday night and come back Sunday night. Song Tan said it covers food and lodging—if you don't want to go, I'll take the high-speed train myself!"

Zheng Qu remembered the fried rice that she was only willing to share a handful of with him, and he chuckled: "Are you trying to take everything you can get?"

Otherwise, with her tight-lipped nature, there was no way she would share such a good thing with him.

Huo Xueying was also righteous: "Just tell me if I was thinking of you or not!"

That was certainly true.

Zheng Qu hurriedly said: "Then don't worry about preparing things. I have a lot of gifts people gave me in the dorm; I'll pack them all into the car tonight."

Huo Xueying thought for a moment: "Then I'll prepare some local snacks from here..."

Shamefully, she couldn't afford anything more expensive. After struggling as a wage slave for so many years, she was still so poor.

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Qu was also full of anticipation. His superiors had been busy lately, but their secretarial office was fine. Going on provincial trips on Saturdays and Sundays wouldn't be affected at all!

He could even take a photo with the photo wall at Song Tan's place to see where his own big boss stood in the corner?

He was excited, but when he returned to the office, he saw Director Wang's back, and he was stunned: "Any tasks?"

His colleague shook his head: "No, just asked about some things this week..."

He guessed it was probably to formulate next week's work plan. Alas, for leaders, especially those who want to get things done, it really isn't leisurely.

On the other side, Secretary Wang also happily carried his teacup to see the leader: "I've confirmed again and again that there are no urgent pending matters this week—Leader, are we leaving on Friday or Saturday?"

The leader pondered for a moment: "Friday. I remember that Saturday and Sunday are the busiest days for tourists? We have to find time to see the specific profit model of that village."

"Okay," Secretary Wang was also full of anticipation: "Then I'll book the rooms first."

And by the way, make an appointment with the doctor.

The leader was traveling low-key, so it wasn't just the two of them; there were also cars to drive... He had to arrange all of this.

Thinking about these various arrangements, Secretary Wang also felt a bit more anticipation in his heart.

Their decision was made crisply and neatly, but it earned Song Tan another lecture from Wu Lan:

"Look, I asked you earlier if your friends were coming, and you said they didn't have time. Didn't they come as soon as you asked? You should be more sincere next time! Make a phone call! Make a video call!"

Song Tan:...

"Mom, we young people don't like that way of greeting. If there's something to say, just say it. Why make video calls or phone calls?"

Wu Lan scoffed at this: "If you don't say it face-to-face and just ask a couple of questions, people will think you're not sincere and feel embarrassed to come."

"Come on! Call all your other friends too. We have people helping out this year, so we won't be too busy to host them."

Also, the debts were gone, so she didn't look at the things in the fields in terms of money anymore, and she was more generous when giving things away.

In short, although Wu Lan often scolded Song Sancheng for being loose-handed, in fact, two people sleeping in the same bed were no different; she was the same way.

Hearing Song Tan emphasize again and again that there was no one else, she sighed:

"When I was young, conditions weren't good for anyone, yet I still had several friends. How come you're not even as good as me? Are there no classmates worth inviting?"

Song Tan thought seriously.

After thinking, she said solemnly: "The classmates I have an impression of are Teacher Xin's ex-girlfriend and my rich classmate Qianqian."

Wu Lan couldn't agree with that: "That Qianqian looked stupid when she came to harvest rice last time, no wonder she didn't have a fate with our Teacher Xin..."

"No, no, don't invite her, no matter how rich she is."

"Our Xin Jun looks good and is a good person, so he needs to find someone perfect to be a match."

This was said without any bias, clearly treating him as one of their own.

Thinking of this, Wu Lan also became a bit anxious:

"Yanping has managed to find someone, so why is Teacher Xin still not moving? There are still too few people in our village..."

Just then, Zhang Yanping came over and heard this, and he was instantly unhappy: "What do you mean 'Yanping has managed to find someone'? I'm also a talented, knowledgeable, and high-quality youth, okay?"

He was fierce, his face twisted again, and not only did he not look aggrieved, but he looked three parts threatening.

Wu Lan instinctively lowered her voice: "Then, then should I say it again?"

Zhang Yanping:... Aggrieved!

Extremely aggrieved. There couldn't be only his girlfriend in the world who had the eye to recognize talent, right?

He turned around bitterly and walked towards the clinic with a tense face.

Wu Lan gazed at his back, hesitating: "There are many regular patients among Guo's patients, they shouldn't be afraid anymore, right?"

But no one responded to this.

Looking again, Song Tan was showing Lu Chuan her phone screen:

"The college students are asking, can they bring their family members?"
