Let you be a great man, not a scumbag

Chapter 1355 New Year Red Envelope

The next day, the faint light of morning light gently covered the earth like a veil, but had not completely dispelled the coolness of the night.

The whole city seemed to be still immersed in sleep, with only the occasional vehicle passing by, making slight noises.

As usual, Ye Wan opened her eyes early before the alarm clock rang.

I habitually took out the phone from under the pillow and checked the time.

When I took a look, I found three missed calls on the screen.

All these calls came from Aunt Zhang, her neighbor in her hometown, which made her heart sink.

Ye Wan quickly called back and the call was answered immediately.

Aunt Zhang lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of being heard by others.

"Wanwan..." Aunt Zhang's voice was trembling, "Your mother fainted yesterday."

Hearing this, Ye Wan clenched her phone tightly, her fingers turning pale.

She took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm: "Aunt Zhang, is my mother okay? How is she now?"

Aunt Zhang sighed and continued, "She was sent to the clinic. They said it was an old problem. Doesn't your mother have high blood pressure? She has been saving money and hasn't taken medicine."

Hearing this, Ye Wan felt relieved, but also felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

She knew that her mother had always been very frugal and was reluctant to spend money on medicine.

Ye Wan's nails dug deeply into her palms.

Aunt Zhang sighed and said, "Your mother, she refused to let me tell you about this... She fainted suddenly, and the doctor said that she had to take that imported medicine to control her condition, and she could only switch to ordinary medicine after her condition stabilized. But a box of that imported medicine costs 826 yuan, and she has to take three boxes..."

Hearing the price, Ye Wan couldn't help but feel nervous.

I silently calculated in my mind that three boxes of medicine would cost a total of 2478 yuan!

Based on her understanding of her mother, she would not even buy ordinary medicine that costs a dozen yuan a bottle, so she probably would not be willing to buy such expensive medicine.

Ye Wan said quickly, "Aunt Zhang, I understand. Please wait a moment. When the bank opens later, I will transfer 1000 yuan to you. Can you buy a box of medicine for my mother first? Don't tell her that I gave her the money. Just go and buy it."

Aunt Zhang nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, Wanwan, you are such a good child! If it weren't for the fact that I really had no other choice, I wouldn't want to disturb you during the New Year. It's just that your mother is the only one at home, and I'm really worried that something might happen to her at home, so after thinking it over, I finally decided to call you."

Ye Wan said gratefully: "I understand, Aunt Zhang, thank you! I am really lucky to have you by my mother's side to take care of her."...

After hanging up the phone, Ye Wan's mood instantly fell to the bottom.

I got out of bed quietly out of habit.

She walked to the sink, turned on the faucet, and let the cold water hit her hands.

While washing her face, her eyes involuntarily fell on herself in the mirror.

She looked pale and had empty eyes in the mirror, as if she had lost her soul.

After washing up, Ye Wan put on the down jacket that Jiang Cheng gave her.

The cuff of the down jacket gently brushed against her cheek, making her feel a little warm.

The brand Jiang Cheng gave me was indeed very warm, and even the rustling sound of the chemical fiber fabric rubbed against each other revealed a sense of refinement.

However, this warmth did not last long.

Ye Wan's attention was quickly attracted by the green roadside plants swaying in the wind outside the window.

Looking at the green plants shivering in the cold wind, Ye Wan's thoughts suddenly drifted back to her hometown.

She thought of the leaky window in her hometown in winter.

Every night, the cold wind would blow in through the gaps in the windows, making people shiver with cold.

Every night, my mother always said "it's not cold".

Then he handed her the only hot water bottle and spent the long night in the cold himself.

After coming out of a nearby bank.

He stared at his bank card balance on SMS with a look of despair.

After transferring 1000 yuan to Aunt Zhang, there was only 250 yuan left in her bank card.

This thousand yuan was something she saved after she started working at Jiancha.

When she was working part-time at school, the money she earned was barely enough to cover her living expenses for three meals a day.

Fortunately, she was working at Jiancha during this period, otherwise she really didn’t know what to do.

Along the way, Ye Wan was silently thinking about how to get triple the salary for the Spring Festival in advance.

Soon we arrived at the door of the milk tea shop.

It was still early and Yang Fan was the only one in the store.

I saw Yang Fan standing behind the counter, sorting some materials.

Ye Wan started by shouting, "Manager Yang, good morning!"

Hearing the voice, Yang Fan raised his head.

Seeing that it was Ye Wan, he showed a kind smile on his face and responded: "Ye Wan, good morning!"

"Manager Yang, can I..."

Before Ye Wan finished speaking, Yang Fan had already taken out a big red envelope from the pocket of his apron.

Then he handed it to Ye Wan.

"Ye Wan, you left in such a hurry last night that I didn't have time to give you this. This is a New Year's red envelope from the company. I wish you a happy New Year!" Yang Fan said to Ye Wan with a smile.

Looking at the big red envelope that was suddenly handed to her, Ye Wan stopped talking.

Her eyes fell on the red envelope and she noticed that the thickness of this red envelope was obviously abnormal, much thicker than ordinary red envelopes.

The thickness reminded her of the time she clicked to return the 5,000 yuan red envelope that Jiang Cheng had sent her last night.

Looking at the thick red envelope, a hint of surprise appeared on Ye Wan's face.

But at the same time he hesitated.

With a hint of caution in his tone, he asked softly, "Manager Yang, does everyone have this red envelope?"

I am just a part-time employee, and such a generous red envelope seems a little unusual.

As the saying goes, once is raw, twice is ripe.

Yang Fan was no longer as unfamiliar with this question as he was the first time he was asked it.

He answered very skillfully: "Yes, didn't I tell you? This is a red envelope from the company, take it. It will be very busy today, so be prepared."

After saying that, he stuffed the red envelope into Ye Wan's hand.

Then he turned around and continued to do his own thing.

Start checking whether all the equipment and raw materials in the store are ready.

After Mo Mo took the red envelope to the staff locker room, Ye Wan followed her and gently locked the door.

Then he slowly took off his down jacket, his movements as gentle as if he was treating an inestimable treasure.

Carefully hang the down jacket on the hook on the wall.

After hanging it, I adjusted its position to ensure it could hang flat.

As she tied the uniform apron, she couldn't help but look at the down jacket.

I remembered what Yang Fan said when he gave me this down jacket.

At that time he also said it was a company benefit.

However, after so much time had passed, she had never seen other colleagues or even Yang Fan himself wearing clothes of this brand.

Although this brand is not a top luxury brand, its price is not cheap for ordinary employees.

There's no reason why they wouldn't wear such nice clothes.

Obviously, she was the only one who owned those down jackets.

After changing clothes, Ye Wan took out the red envelope that Yang Fan had just given her.

When I opened the red envelope, I saw that it was full of brand new red Chinese currency.

She counted it quickly and it was indeed five thousand yuan.

Holding the red envelope tightly in her hand, Ye Wan's heart was filled with contradictions, entanglements and helplessness.

Five thousand yuan is not a small amount of money for her.

Growing up, she had never even thought that she would receive such a big red envelope.

However, these five thousand dollars meant too much to her.

Her mother was ill and needed money to buy expensive imported medicine.

With these five thousand yuan, her mother's medical expenses problem can be solved, which makes Ye Wan feel extremely grateful.

She has hardly ever received a red envelope in her life.

Growing up, the Chinese New Year did not have much special meaning for her.

It's just one more dish than usual.

And the red envelope, something that is full of anticipation and joy in the eyes of other children.

It was so strange to her.

In Ye Wan's memory, the New Year is more of a dull continuation of life, without too many surprises and joy.

But at this moment, the red envelope in her hand made her feel a warmth and hope she had never felt before.

But she felt that Jiang Cheng had already helped her too much.

Jiang Cheng not only helped her financially, but also cared about her in life.

It made her feel a warmth she had never felt before.

And apart from working hard, she seemed to have nothing to give back to Jiang Cheng.

When the value you gain far exceeds the value you can provide.

Ye Wan felt a little flustered in her heart.

It was as if I was accepting a favor that could never be repaid.

Every time Ye Wan thought of the girl next to Jiang Cheng, she would sigh silently.

Those girls are completely different from me in terms of appearance, temperament and family background.

Whenever she thought about Jiang Cheng's life and background, which were completely different from her own, she would become particularly aware of the huge gap between them.

Jiang Cheng lives in a wealthy world with countless resources and opportunities, while she is struggling to make a living.

But every time this moment comes.

When Jiang Cheng gave her care and help.

She couldn't help but sink into despair.

She craves this warmth and kindness, even though she knows it may only be short-lived.

Finally, after struggling for more than ten seconds, Ye Wan took out her phone and sent a message to Jiang Cheng: "I received the red envelope, thank you."

At this time, Jiang Cheng was overwhelmed by all kinds of news.

Starting from New Year’s Eve.

His mobile phone kept receiving various blessings, some from relatives, friends and business partners.

There are also various invitations and contacts.

This treatment is completely different from that in the previous life.

Sure enough, people with money are more popular.

Except for the news about the more important girls.

Jiang Cheng responded to other messages whenever he had time.

Some are even ignored directly.

With his current money and invisible status, he is very qualified and has the capital to choose the messages he wants to reply to.

After replying to some important messages, Jiang Cheng suddenly saw a screenshot of a Kyoto flight ticket that Zhu Yan sent him.

Jiang Cheng took a look and saw that the ticket was from Shanghai to Kyoto.

Although I had some guesses about Zhu Yan's intentions.

But he still sent a message asking, "Why did you suddenly come to Kyoto?"

At this time, Zhu Yan was standing in the airport waiting hall.

People were coming and going around her, but her eyes were always fixed on the screen of her mobile phone.

When she saw the message from Jiang Cheng, she suddenly felt nervous.

Zhu Yan bit her lip slightly, seeming to be hesitating about how to respond.

After a while, her fingers were tapping rapidly on the phone screen.

The reply was: "Happy New Year to you."

After sending the message, Zhu Yan stared at the screen of her mobile phone, as if she could see Jiang Cheng's reaction through the screen. Her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, as if she was expecting something.

Jiang Cheng quickly replied to Zhu Yan's message.

Jiang Cheng: "Do I have such a big face?"

Looking at Jiang Cheng's reply, Zhu Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This smile instantly relaxed her originally nervous mood.

However, after laughing, Zhu Yan's mind suddenly emerged with the words that Xu Lei said to her on the phone yesterday.

Xu Lei suggested arranging two more personal assistants for Jiang Cheng.

And these two personal assistants must be selected from newcomers within China Merchants Bank.

And she has to be young and beautiful.

Zhu Yan naturally understood the deep meaning of this arrangement.

Isn’t this the standard my uncle uses to select an office assistant?
