Chapter 382 Can you two do it together?
Actually, since the new school year started, Qu Jing, Tao Tian, and Minmin haven't really been in touch. After all, everyone has their own lives. Minmin always felt that she wasn't lucky enough to find someone like Zhou Yuwen, a rich and handsome guy to support her. But when you can't have the grapes, you'll say they're sour.
Minmin originally wanted to gain some benefits from Qu Jing and Tao Tian. After failing, she thought they were just that, merely selling their dignity to be someone's mistress.
Although she earns little as a receptionist, her money comes clean.
Despite saying that, the meager salary still made Minmin uncomfortable. Before graduating, she always thought that rent wasn't too expensive, that five or six hundred yuan could get you a decent place.
But after graduation, she found that this wasn't the case. Firstly, Minmin could find a receptionist job with a salary of three thousand, which meant her job was in the city center. So, if she rented somewhere further away, she'd have to travel a long distance in the morning. Renting a place closer meant that five or six hundred would only get you a room not near a subway.
A girl like Minmin would definitely want to rent near the subway, with good ventilation and preferably a small balcony. Such rooms in Jinling City would cost at least twelve hundred, plus deposit and rent.
Minmin, a girl just entering society, was really tired. The main issue was that she wasn't the type to endure hardships. She thought even though her salary wasn't high, she should have what others have. It's been less than three months since she started working, and not only has she taken quite a bit of money from her parents, but she's also got two credit cards. Even with this, she's still living beyond her means.
One day, while Minmin was slacking off at her desk, thinking about how to pay off her credit cards this month.
She suddenly came across Tao Tian and Qu Jing's social media updates, and seeing them shopping together surprised Minmin. Then she saw the brand cosmetics and bags they were holding.
It made Minmin feel even worse. Why is it that while she scrimps and saves to buy a bag, requiring a twelve-month installment, these two can easily buy several?
Weren't they always at odds?
Why are they getting along so well now?
Just a few days ago, while chatting with Tao Tian, Tao Tian said there wasn't any change.
And now she's already hanging out with Qu Jing?
What about her friendship with Tao Tian?
Thinking about this made Minmin inexplicably sad. After hesitating, she sent a message to Tao Tian:
"How come you're with Qu Jing?"
At this moment, Tao Tian and Qu Jing were looking at cars.
Zhou Yuwen suggested Qu Jing buy a car as a commuting tool for the two of them. Following Zhou Yuwen's request, they were mainly looking at the Mercedes C-Class. Qu Jing quite liked the style of the small sedan, having looked at several models, finally deciding on a small white C-Class.
She asked Tao Tian what she thought.
"I'm good with anything, you decide."
While saying this, Tao Tian replied to Minmin's message.
Essentially saying that after all, the two were roommates before, and now work at the same company, so playing together was natural.
"Besides, this was Zhou Yuwen's idea too."
Upon hearing this, Minmin was suddenly anxious for some reason. She said, have you forgotten how she backstabbed you before?
Tao Tian said, it's all in the past.
"Things feel pretty good now, I can't talk for long, Minmin, I've got some matters to attend to here."
Just as she finished speaking, Qu Jing came over to ask Tao Tian's opinion.
Tao Tian smiled and shared her thoughts.
As they exchanged ideas, their relationship grew closer, leaving Minmin holding her phone in anxiety.
In the end, she couldn't hold back and said: "Tiantian, can I stay at your place tonight?"
Meanwhile, Tao Tian was discussing configurations with the salesperson, so she didn't reply to Minmin. It wasn't until after five that Tao Tian and Qu Jing completed their selection and bought a high-end Mercedes C for about three hundred twenty thousand yuan, with delivery expected in about a day.
Qu Jing called Zhou Yuwen to inform him.
Zhou Yuwen's stance was that as long as they felt it was suitable, it was fine.
This involved an issue Zhou Yuwen hadn't considered earlier, which was who the car should be registered under.
At that time, Qu Jing hadn't thought this far either. It was only when actually buying the car that she considered, but neither was the type to follow Zhou Yuwen for money, so during the call, they decided to register the car under Zhou Yuwen's name.
Zhou Yuwen thought it unnecessary, and said it'd be better to register it under the company, potentially tax-free.
"Now that Lv Hui is gone, and there's nobody to handle the company's finances over there, you should try learning about it."
"Alright."
So, to buy the car, they specifically called a collaborating accounting firm, consulted some questions, and only then signed the contract and paid the deposit.
By the time Tao Tian came out of the dealership, it was already past seven in the evening.
By this time, Minmin had already finished work.
To say, Minmin was indeed quite pitiful. While she hadn't experienced romantic woes in four years of college, she was already suffering from friendship woes.
Initially, all three in the dorm were around Tao Tian. After Qu Jing became independent, Tao Tian and Minmin's relationship became closer, and Minmin frequently discussed Qu Jing with Tao Tian.
And now, knowing that Tao Tian and Qu Jing had gotten closer, Minmin couldn't help but feel anxious and lost, feeling left out. Especially since her message to Tao Tian at four in the afternoon only received a reply at seven.
