Chapter 625: Chapter 625: What Makes You So Exceptional?
She only hopes...
That life gets better and better, at least not return to the days that were so unpredictable.
Rong Xiaoyi: "Brother, actually, being able to live in a place like this, I am already satisfied. Xiaoyi will definitely study hard, and when I grow up, I want to attend a good university, then earn a lot of money and support you."
Rong Ling couldn’t help but laugh: "You want me to live off you then."
Rong Xiaoyi said: "Am I not living off you now?"
Rong Ling: "It’s settled then, you study hard, earn money, and support your brother."
Rong Xiaoyi: "Not only will I support my brother, but I will help him marry a pretty wife."
Rong Ling helplessly smiled: "Alright."
Rong Xiaoyi was very excited, still chatting non-stop: "In the future, I want to earn money and buy a bigger house."
As she spoke, she yawned.
Rong Ling knew she was tired, so he said: "Did you finish your homework?"
Rong Xiaoyi: "Finished it at school, there wasn’t much homework today."
Rong Ling: "It’s late, go to bed early."
Rong Xiaoyi muttered: "But, I haven’t brushed my teeth yet."
Rong Ling: "I haven’t had time to buy a new toothbrush and cup, today you can skip brushing and do it tomorrow morning, okay?"
Rong Xiaoyi: "Okay!"
Rong Ling carried Rong Xiaoyi to bed.
Rong Xiaoyi instinctively wanted to rub her eyes, but Rong Ling grabbed her hand: "Didn’t brother tell you not to rub your eyes randomly? Your hands have germs."
Rong Xiaoyi: "Oh!"
Rong Ling helped her take off her coat, covered her with the blanket, and turned off the light.
He walked outside, locked the door, and went to the nearby convenience store to buy some necessities, like toilet paper, toothbrush, toothpaste, and trash bags.
After buying and returning home, he saw Rong Xiaoyi was already asleep, so he spent the night in the living room.
The next morning.
He routinely took Rong Xiaoyi to school, and mentioned the transfer matter to the school, then returned to the company to complete the onboarding procedures.
The HR department notified him to start a week later.
In the afternoon, he went to a nearby school to submit the transfer application, and then went to a second-hand furniture store to buy some furniture.
Before Rong Xiaoyi finished her school day, he went back to his previous rental place.
As he expected—
Last night, the debt collectors came again, but they missed him.
The neighbors heard the commotion and immediately called the police, and as he arrived at the rented home, he met the landlord.
The whole place was smashed beyond recognition, the furniture was damaged badly, and the landlord kept demanding compensation at an outrageous price.
But over the years, Rong Ling had learned how to handle these difficult landlords. After a big argument, he compensated $1,000 plus the $800 security deposit to settle the matter.
Two days later.
Rong Ling finally got the dormitory set up, and Xiaoyi successfully transferred schools.
Life seemed to be back on track.
A week later.
Rong Ling started his job on time.
That morning.
Li Yufei routinely drove to the company, at the company gate security booth, she suddenly bumped into Rong Ling wearing a security uniform.
She stopped her car, lowered the window, and looked at Rong Ling, visibly surprised.
She was surprised that the HR department had assigned Rong Ling to a security position.
Rong Ling saw Li Yufei stop the car, immediately recognized her, and thought she had something to instruct, so he walked over: "Good morning, President Li."
Before starting the job, he underwent training that covered several items; among those were familiarity with the company’s higher-ups’ cars and license plates.
Seeing leaders requires a warm greeting.
Li Yufei said: "Did HR assign you to this position?"
Rong Ling: "Yes. They thought my education wasn’t enough, so they assigned me to the security department."
Li Yufei: "I remember... you dropped out of university, and it was even a prestigious university."
Rong Ling: "I attended Jinghua University."
Li Yufei: "A Jinghua University student being assigned to the security department seems a bit of a waste of talent."
Suddenly, her phone rang.
She picked up the phone, saw it was from the Vice President, and her schedule was packed for the entire morning, so she said to Rong Ling: "I understand the situation, you keep working."
Rong Ling: "Okay."
The window was about to rise.
Rong Ling suddenly said: "Wait a second!"
Li Yufei looked at him.
Rong Ling said: "I still owe you a thank you."
Li Yufei was somewhat stunned.
Rong Ling’s attitude towards her became much more polite.
Perhaps, from the bottom of his heart, he was grateful for her care.
Li Yufei said: "No need to thank me. Your sister, is she settled in?"
Rong Ling responded: "Yes. I won’t disturb you any longer."
After saying this, he stepped back.
The barrier at the booth lifted.
Li Yufei’s Rolls-Royce slowly drove through the gate.
Rong Ling returned to the booth, his coworker couldn’t help but give him a couple of glances: "You know President Li?"
Rong Ling: "I know her, why?"
Coworker: "Not simple, huh! We heard before that you were arranged into the company by President Li, we all thought it was just rumors, but turns out you do have quite a connection with her!"
After a pause, he gently nudged Rong Ling’s elbow, lowered his voice, and asked: "Can I ask, what exactly is your relationship with President Li?"
Rong Ling: "It’s not much of a relationship, just acquaintances, not deep connections."
Coworker: "Don’t hide it! I think President Li must have taken a liking to you! You’re so young and have such good looks. I heard that President Li recently got divorced, you haven’t gotten close to President Li, have you?"
Rong Ling: "..."
He looked at the coworker next to him, who had a face full of gossip, and couldn’t help but sneer: "What kind of rubbish is in your head?"
He realized he was being seen as a young man, this coworker might suspect that he was kept by Li Yufei.
When this coworker heard this, he immediately showed a displeased expression: "What do you mean by ’rubbish’? We’re all adults, is there any need to avoid topics like this? If you truly got close to President Li, we would only be envious and think you’re lucky! Besides, President Li is now divorced, single, and you’re not seeing anyone, right? As adults, these things are mutual, why do you have that look? If you and President Li are completely innocent, why does she give you special treatment? Plus, that special treatment, who doesn’t want it?"
Rong Ling said nothing, just lowered his head and organized the visitor registration forms.
The coworker kept talking non-stop: "Someone like you, fresh out of school, young and full of vitality, must have something outstanding in that area!"
Rong Ling: "What do you mean?"
Coworker: "Your skill must be really good to make President Li so captivated."
Rong Ling jokingly said: "If President Li was really captivated by me, I wouldn’t be here as a little security guard, with someone like you..."
He left the sentence half said, leaving the latter half unsaid.
He still wanted to maintain a good relationship with his coworker.
