Seeing that Jiang Yue had almost finished eating, Zhang Hong poured him another glass of watermelon juice, and the two chatted while drinking the drink.

"Jiang Yue, do you consider me a friend?"

"Manager Zhang, why do you ask this? You are so good to me. I not only treat you as a friend, but also as a relative."

Zhang Hong felt warm in her heart when she heard what Jiang Yue said. Although she had only been in contact with Jiang Yue for a short time, she knew that Jiang Yue was not the kind of person who flatters her.

"Since you regard me as a friend, let's have a frank chat. I really want to know something."

"What do you want to know? Then just ask, and I will tell you anything I can tell you."

"Do you like money?"

"I like it, but a gentleman loves money in a proper way. I only like the money I earn based on my ability, and I will not covet other people's money." Jiang Yue said very seriously.

"Are you short of money?" Zhang Hong then asked.

"Well. I'm very short of money. My dad is in poor health and needs hundreds of dollars for medicine every month. My younger brother is in college and will be a sophomore. I have to save his tuition and living expenses..."

"I have no friends in this city, so I can only rely on my own efforts to work hard. It costs money to rent a house and three meals a day. I don't earn much, so I can't take care of myself unless I save some money."

My dad and brother."

Jiang Yue was very honest and told Zhang Hong the actual situation. He didn't think it was a scandal, it was his attitude towards life.

"I understand. I interfered with your part-time job because I didn't understand your situation. I'm sorry..."

Zhang Hong quickly apologized to Jiang Yue. She now understood why Jiang Yue worked so hard.

"Do you have a plan for your life?"

"Everyone looks forward to their own future and designs a beautiful blueprint. But nowadays, the times are changing with each passing day, and the changes are too fast. Maybe when you take a nap, you will be surpassed by others and forgotten by the times." Jiang Yue said.

Very serious.

"What I want to hear is your plan, not your emotions." Zhang Hong pursed her lips and smiled.

"No one wants to be dependent on others, and everyone wants to stand out. I am also a layman, and I cannot avoid clichés. My current plan is very simple. I have a stable job so that I and my family can have enough food and clothing. At the same time, I can accumulate more work experience and enrich myself.

Life experience, and then set life goals. After all, I am still young, I am not in a hurry now, I am enterprising and passionate, and there will be many opportunities."

"Well. You are very down-to-earth, not as ambitious as some young people. Now is a fast-paced life, and there are indeed many opportunities. But opportunities also need strength to support, otherwise the opportunities will become a trap." Zhang Hong agreed with Jiang Yue's idea.

, she appreciated Jiang Yue more and more.

"I graduated from college at the age of 22. It took me three years to go from being an intern to where I am today. I feel very lucky to have found this job now and to be the assistant manager of the human resources department. At the same time, I feel that my work experience is still sufficient.

It’s still lacking, I’m not mature enough, and I still need to continue to study hard.”

"You are much better than me. At least your job is stable now. I am still on probation after all." Jiang Yue smiled mockingly to herself.

"Okay, let's not talk about this topic. Let me ask you a question about your personal life."

"If you ask, I will answer you as long as it is convenient for you to answer."

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Zhang Hong asked Jiang Yue again.

"No." Jiang Yue answered simply, because in fact he didn't.

"Have you ever been in love?" Zhang Hong then asked.

"I can't tell if it's a love affair." Jiang Yue thought for a while and replied.

"You don't know if that's love, have you ever

How can you not know that you have been in love?" Zhang Hong couldn't help but laugh, and Jiang Yue's answer was so cute.

"I had a very good relationship with a female classmate in high school, but I lost contact with her after I went to college. We met again by chance during my sophomore year, and we started to keep in touch frequently from then on."

"Then what?"

"Then I became very close to her. We texted and called her almost every day. If I didn't contact her for a day, I would feel very lost."

"Haha. This is the charm of love. To describe it in one sentence: One day without seeing each other is like three autumns. If you don't hear from each other for a day, it's like the days are like years." Zhang Hong joked.

"Well. Later, her parents found out that she was dating me, so they stopped her. Because my family's conditions were not good, their family did not agree with her being with me. Later, she rarely responded to my messages, and then she stopped completely.

Contact me again.”

"Then she is your first love."

"I don't know, because we haven't met each other during that time. It's said that we are in love, but I have never met her, and I have never held her hand. Is this considered a relationship?"

"Giggle, giggle... Oh my god, you really made me laugh to death. Your thoughts are too unhealthy. You have to hold hands, hug, and kiss to be considered in love?"

Zhang Hong's smile was very unflattering. If she hadn't been trying to control herself in public, she might have laughed like this.

"If this can be regarded as falling in love, then I am at a loss." Jiang Yue felt that she was wronged by this.

"What else do you want? You don't want to get someone pregnant, do you? You are a gangster." Zhang Hong quickly covered his mouth after saying this, which was a bit rude.

"Don't tell me that this is really happening. My best friend in college called his son and took his girlfriend home to meet his parents today. My girlfriend is pregnant and I guess he will marry him."

"They are too irresponsible to themselves. Why are they in such a hurry to get married at such a young age? They are really crazy."

"Sister, is it crazy to marry young? Besides, they have all reached the legal age of marriage. Some of my junior high school classmates' children can carry a bottle of soy sauce."

Jiang Yue was speechless. What kind of logic was she thinking?

"Haha. Whoever buys soy sauce nowadays just buys the whole bottle." Zhang Hong said humorously.

"Hehe. This is just a metaphor, a metaphor." Jiang Yue giggled.

"Do you support early marriage?" Zhang Hong asked.

"It's hard to say. Everyone's situation is different, the conditions are different, and the relationship between men and women is also different. Juanzi truly loves Zhaozi, and besides, she is pregnant. A woman has an abortion, which harms her body, and after having a child, she must be responsible

, I support their marriage."

"Besides, this is not considered an early marriage. After all, they are both 22 years old. My parents made arrangements to introduce me to a partner when I was in college. Fortunately, our family's conditions are not good and no one is willing to marry me, otherwise I might

I will get married after graduation."

"Giggle, giggle... Do you dream of holding a woman in your arms every night when you go to bed?"

Zhang Hong is a girl who loves to laugh. Jiang Yue's words made her laugh uncontrollably. Fortunately, there was no one else sitting next to her. The two of them had a very interesting chat until almost ten o'clock.

"It's getting late. Let's go back and rest. We have to get up early to go to work tomorrow." Zhang Hong picked up her handbag and stood up, and Jiang Yue walked out with her.

"Is this far from where you live?" Zhang Hong asked.

"It's not far, just three stops away."

"I'll take you back."

"No need, I'll walk back. I'm too full tonight, so I'll just do some exercise to eat."

Jiang Yue declined Zhang Hong's kindness, then waved goodbye to her,

He walked back alone.

"Did you just go out for dinner?" Aunt Mei asked him when he returned to the room.

"Yes, Aunt Mei, a meal invited by a colleague."

"You should go out with your colleagues more often. They say more friends lead to more roads. If you don't have money for food, just take it from me." Aunt Mei said with a smile.

"Thank you Aunt Mei, I will talk to you if necessary." Jiang Yue was very grateful to her.

After lunch the next day, Zhang Hong called Jiang Yue to the office again and took out an envelope and handed it to Jiang Yue.

"What's in here?"

"Three thousand yuan. What do you think it is, a love letter? If writing such a thick love letter can tire me to death." After Zhang Hong finished speaking, he chuckled again.

"Manager Zhang, what do you mean by giving me three thousand yuan?" Jiang Yue was confused.

"It's not interesting. This is what I lent to you. It's not money to support a pretty boy. You'll pay me back in half a year. Do you understand?"

"No, Manager Zhang, I'm not short of money." Jiang Yue quickly put down the envelope, how could he take other people's money.

"Jiang Yue, you clearly are short of money but you insist on saying that you are not. Are you hypocritical? I have always thought that you are a real person, but your performance makes me very disappointed." Zhang Hong pretended to be angry.

appearance.

"No, Manager Zhang, these are two different things." Jiang Yue waved her hands anxiously.

"What are the two different things? Are we friends? Why do people want to make friends?"

"We are friends and would like to hear the details." Jiang Yue asked Zhang Hong.

"Friends are those who care about your needs, can support each other, help each other, and work together. Since we are friends, if I don't help you when you have difficulties, am I not mean enough? In fact, what supports the friendship between friends is loyalty. Help.

Friends are loyal, and accepting help is also about loyalty, do you understand?"

"I understand." Jiang Yue nodded frequently.

"Now that you understand, take the money away and remember to pay it back to me later." Zhang Hong smiled slyly.

"I wouldn't be loyal if you didn't take it, wouldn't I?" Jiang Yue said with a bitter smile.

"That's a person who exposes his difficulties to his friends but refuses their help. Such people are either hypocritical or villains." Zhang Hong spoke plausibly.

"Why?"

"Because your friend sees that you need help, and he is also capable of helping you. If you reject his kindness, it will hurt him. Are people who hurt friendship and feelings a villain?" Zhang Hong said confidently.

"You always feel that you owe someone a favor, but you are actually wrong. There is no need to say thank you to a true friend, and there is no need for anyone to owe someone a favor. This is a friendship that does not seek repayment."

"What you said seems to make sense, so I won't refuse to take it anymore." Jiang Yue put the envelope into her trouser pocket.

"That's right, be a good boy." Seeing Jiang Yue put away the money, Zhang Hong smiled.

She was very disappointed when she went back last night. After listening to Jiang Yue's story, she felt very sympathetic. She is a girl who values ​​loyalty and friendship, and she wanted to help Jiang Yue get through the difficulties.

But she was also familiar with Jiang Yue's character, and she was thinking about how to help him without hurting his self-esteem and leaving him with enough dignity as a man.

She actually had insomnia when she thought about it and couldn't fall asleep no matter what. She didn't know why she was thinking so much.

After returning from get off work and having dinner, Jiang Yue went to the bank and used an ATM to deposit money into her brother's bank card.

He deposited 2,800 yuan out of the 3,000 yuan, leaving 200 yuan for himself for emergencies.
