“Alright, Miss Ye, I got it.” A trace of joy flashed across Auntie Zhuang’s face.
She had already made plans to stay in the capital and not return to her hometown for the New Year. But now, there was such a pleasant surprise. Not only would she be able to return to her hometown for the New Year, but she would also be paid five times her salary as usual. This was really a good thing!
After cleaning up, Auntie Zhuang picked up her and Li Qiaomeng’s lunch and couldn’t wait to return to her room to tell her daughter the good news.
“What?” Li Qiaomeng was not happy at all about the news. “You mean, we’re going back to our hometown?
She did not want to go back to her hometown for the New Year at all. That dilapidated house, annoying relatives, and the streets which could be seen at a glance. All of this could not be compared to the capital. Even if she had to stay in the helpers room, it was many times better than going back to that miserable house.
“Yes!” Auntie Zhuang did not notice that Li Qiaomeng was not in the mood.
She was still immersed in her own joy. “Since we’re going back for the New Year, there’s no need to send the money back. However, when I get time off in two days, we still have to go out and see if there’s anything we need to buy.” After that, Auntie Zhuang excitedly counted what she wanted to bring back.
“Mom, do we have to go back for the New Year?” Li Qiaomeng couldn’t help but interrupt Auntie Zhuang. “Can we not go back and just stay here?”
“Why should we stay?” Auntie Zhuang was puzzled. “I only agreed to stay because of Miss yes request and the quintuple pay she promised. Now that Miss Ye suddenly plans to go abroad, we can take this opportunity to go home for the New Year. This is perfect! Moreover, Miss Ye also said that she would still give me five times the salary.”
This was a great thing for her. She could get a high salary and go back to see her family.
“Mom, here’s the thing.” Li Qiaomeng racked her brains. An idea came to her in a flash of inspiration, she said, “You know that I’m graduating next year, right? My supervisor said that there were several good internship positions. He can recommend me for an interview. But the time hasn’t been set yet. If I go back to my hometown, won’t I lose such a good opportunity? Next time, the supervisor may not introduce me to an internship position.”
“Why didn’t you tell me this before?” Auntie Zhuang was confused. “You should tell me earlier!”
“This is just an interview opportunity!” Li Qiaomeng quickly explained, “I don’t know if I can sail through the interview! That’s why I didn’t tell you.
Originally, I plan to go for the interview myself and tell you after I succeed. So, Mom, we can’t go back to our hometown for the New Year. If I go back and miss such an opportunity, it won’t be so easy for me to find a job in the capital when I graduate.”
Of course, this was just an excuse she made up. When the time came, she just had to find some time to go out and come back and then told her mother that she failed the interview.
“I see!” Auntie Zhuang’s excitement was gone. “What kind of company is it? Don’t they take a break during the New Year? Why did they choose such a date for the interview?
Li Qiaomeng’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Auntie Zhuang’s question. She quickly said, “It has nothing to do with you! There are so many people who want to squeeze into those big companies. Now, they are the ones who make the choice, not me. So, we can only accommodate their schedule!”
“Alright then!” Auntie Zhuang nodded helplessly. “I thought that I could take advantage of this New Year’s holiday to go back and visit your brother and father. We can only stay here for now.”
She could not let her daughter stay in the capital alone. Putting everything else aside, if she left, it would be impossible for her daughter to continue living here. At that time, her daughter might not have a place to stay. It was not easy to rent a house only for a few days. And it would still cost her thousands to stay in a cheap hotel for a few days. She might as well stay and continue to live in the villa so that she could also take good care of her daughter!
“Mom, it’s okay. You can save up leave and then go back. Isn’t it the same?” Li Qiaomeng didn’t feel any regret when she saw Auntie Zhuang’s disappointed look. She still felt that this was good.
That night, Auntie Zhuang informed Ye Leng’an of her decision and hoped that Ye Leng’an would allow them to continue staying here during the New Year.
Ye Leng’an was a little surprised by her decision. Because at noon, she could tell that Auntie Zhuang really wanted to return to her hometown for the New Year. Auntie Zhuang’s joy was obvious even though she didn’t say anything. In just one afternoon, she immediately changed her mind.
“If you want to stay, then stay!” Ye Leng’an didn’t seem to care much about this. “Do as you please, but please keep the house clean.”
Auntie Zhuang agreed hurriedly.
She did not really mind Auntie Zhuang staying in the villa during the New Year. All her attention was on her trip abroad this time.
The main reason for her going abroad this time was that she heard from Huangfu Ruiling that there was going to be an auction abroad. A very precious medicinal herb was going to be auctioned.
She wasn’t very interested in other things except for that precious medicinal herb. That was why she decided to make a trip personally. No matter what, she had to bid for that precious medicinal herb.
However, speaking of the auction, she sorted out her funds and realized that it was far from enough to participate in the auction. Therefore, she really had to earn money during this period of time.
Ye Leng’an went back to her room, took out her laptop, and invested a portion of her money into the stock market. She used the rise and fall of the stock price to earn the difference. She chose those stocks whose prices rose and fell quickly because it was the fastest way to earn money.
If there was someone else here, he would definitely be very surprised. In just half an hour, the money in Ye Leng’an’s stock account had increased by several times..
