Chapter 212: I Have to Buy It Now
Hu Biao put two lunch boxes directly on her desk, then hurried a few steps towards Shen Meng and took the bag from her hands.
"Sister-in-law, this must be pretty heavy, right? Let me carry it, let me carry it."
Shen Meng shook her hands; indeed, it was quite heavy. Having not done any physical work for a long time, she had no strength in her body. Just carrying the bag over for a while had already exhausted her.
"I really shouldn’t listen to Qianqian anymore. It’s such a hassle for you to come here every day to deliver food while I’m at work. What am I doing here? Might as well move in with you and enjoy the good life."
"Hehehe, Qianqian is worried about you, saying that Sister Meng, you’re too nice, and she’s afraid you’ll be taken advantage of. She asked me to come over and take a look, and if there’s any issue, to have my mother-in-law come and check!"
Shen Meng repeatedly waved her hands. Although she got her job through connections, she didn’t want others to talk. If Qi Mingyue came directly, she feared that she wouldn’t be able to work peacefully anymore. The people in the office were already stuffing her desk with snacks on seeing Hu Biao; if they saw Qi Mingyue, they might start treating her like a deity.
But Hu Biao didn’t think the same way. When he came yesterday, he saw Shen Meng eating alone at her desk, looking isolated. If the ticket sellers in the office were kind, they would have at least chatted with her a bit. It was obvious that this group was looking down on his Sister Meng.
That leader, too, only came out to greet him when he was about to leave yesterday. As for attending his own wedding, it sounded more like he had managed to slip in through some connections.
After seeing him yesterday, the director met him in person today. The moment he set foot in the office, someone was already looking for a chat with him. If that’s not fishy, he doesn’t know what is!
So he raised his voice to make a point, not to think too highly of themselves just because they were city folks. If you look three generations back, wasn’t everyone just old farmers?
