Chapter 111: The Storm Subsides

  Thanks for the reward from Qingfeng Mingyueqing, happy every day!

  "What's going on here?" Little Yu couldn't help but stand up straight, a man had to lend a hand in this matter.

  "Hey, looks like we've got some help here. Let me take a look... it can't be your boyfriend, right?" One of the young men at the front spoke in an exaggerated tone, with a lewd demeanor and eyes that seemed to hold a hint of flirtation, making people feel utterly disgusted.

  The several young men beside him did not take offense, but instead seemed to have heard some extraordinary joke and burst out laughing one after another.

  "How can you... how can you talk like that?" Ma Yun's face turned red with anger, but because of his stutter, his words became somewhat incoherent.

  Meng Kang was furious when he heard them insult his mother, and he wanted to rush up and fight those rascals to the death. Ma Yun held his son back, saying that it didn't matter if they lost face in their words, but it would be terrible if his son got hurt.

  He was also furious when he heard it, how could he tolerate such humiliation when he didn't even have a girlfriend yet?

  "That's enough, don't say anything more. In broad daylight, you still want to kill people? Is it interesting to just gain a verbal advantage? Isn't it boring? What do you really want? Draw a line and we'll talk about it later."

  After listening to Xiao Yu's words, the young man who was in charge became a bit more serious and rubbed his chin with a hint of stubble, saying: "Can you make decisions?"

  He nodded slightly after a moment of hesitation, saying: "Okay, go ahead." A heroic spirit suddenly arose in his heart - which man doesn't have a heroic dream? At this moment, he felt particularly grand.

  The young man who was in charge shook his leg and tilted his neck, saying: "You guys don't want too much, it's not easy for anyone. Just throw down 100 yuan and you can leave. If you can't afford it, then don't do business under my hands again. Every time I see your stall, I'll smash it."

  "What? So expensive?! Why don't you go rob instead!!" Ma Yun exclaimed upon hearing this, it's too expensive, he himself can't even earn that much money in a week, isn't this making things difficult for people...

  Seeing Ma Yun's embarrassed expression, Xiao Yu naturally thought of the difficulties at home: "Sister, it's okay, I'll help you pay this money." It just so happened that his salary for this month had not been handed over to his family, and he was able to take out some money.

  "No way, absolutely not! We're complete strangers, and it's already very kind of you to help us out. How can we let you pay for us? Absolutely not!!" Ma Yun waved his hands repeatedly.

  Meng Kang's heart was filled with shame and embarrassment. His family had been struggling for so little money, and it was all because of his own incompetence that he couldn't protect their business.

  The young man who was in charge nodded and said, "Alright, I don't care who gave the money. As long as there's money, I won't bother you guys again. Hurry up, what time is it?"

  "Never mind, I'll give it to you. Consider it a loan, okay? We can settle up later." Xiaoyu thought that since two fists can't beat four hands, it's better to compromise. Getting beaten up over this small amount of money just isn't worth it.

  Ma Yun also knew that dragging on like this was not a good thing, but he really didn't have so much money on him, and could only borrow from his younger brother to tide himself over for the time being.

  She rubbed her rough palms, stuttering: "Th-then... I'll borrow your money for now, little brother. I will pay it back, definitely will pay it back." She hastily explained, afraid that the kind person in front of her would think she was a swindler.

  "That's it." Xiao took out his wallet, pulled out ten 10-yuan bills, carefully counted them twice, and then handed the money over to the young man who was in charge.

  The young man snatched the money over, spat a mouthful of saliva on it, and counted it. The amount was just right.

  He took the money with his right hand and patted it with his left hand, saying: "Alright, the amount is just right, you got a good deal this time, but next time won't be so easy."

  He then turned to the younger brothers beside him and said, "Brothers, let's go." With a wave of his hand, several people rode their bicycles far away, and soon disappeared from sight.

  Ma Yun let out a sigh of relief as she watched the figure disappear into the distance. She turned to Xiao Yu and said, "Little brother, thank you so much today. Don't worry, I'll definitely pay back your money." The thought of owing someone so much money made her feel uneasy all over.

  "Little brother, what's your name? Where do you live? How can I return the money to you?" At this time, Ma Yun suddenly realized that she still didn't know the name of her benefactor, and she felt a little embarrassed.

  "Sister, just call me Xiao Yu, I didn't come here by coincidence today, but rather with a purpose. I have something to discuss with you."

  Ma Yun was surprised by what Xiao Yu said, and he himself didn't know who this person was or what they wanted with him.

  Seeing Ma Yun's confusion, Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Alright sister, let's pack up your stall first. I've come all this way, would you mind if I went to your home for a cup of tea?"

  "It doesn't matter. I don't need you to clean up after me, I can handle it myself."

  Without saying much, they bent down and helped clean up. The three of them quickly tidied up the place.

  It was almost noon, and Ma Yun had not only failed to make any money but also lost 100 yuan. She didn't have the heart to continue selling, so she packed up her things onto a small pushcart, and several people headed in the direction of Ma Yun's home.

  Arriving at Ma Yun's home, the iron general still guarded the door. After opening the door and walking inside, the light immediately dimmed, and all that could be heard was someone coughing "cough, cough".

  Xiao Yu immediately reacted and realized that this was Ma Yun's husband. Her husband was not good at walking, so he locked the door when he went out, thinking that there was no one at home.

  Ma Yun came home and turned on the lights especially because there were guests. The dim yellow light made the room slightly brighter.

  Xiao Yu was about to sit down when Ma Yun hurriedly poured water for him. Seeing that the family was not wealthy, Xiao Yu was more polite and didn't want to trouble them.

  Ma Yun's husband Meng Qiang is an honest man. When he saw someone coming, although he was puzzled, he still greeted politely and then fell silent.

  Ma Yun poured out the water, then leaned against the edge of the bed and tucked in the quilt for her husband before asking her long-standing question: "Xiao Yu brother, you said you came to find me specifically, I don't know why?"

  Xiao Yu finally could say out his own purpose, this road can be said to be a twist and turn.

  "Sister, I came to find you today. Just now, I saw that there was no one at your home, so I went to your stall again. Let me formally introduce myself, my name is Yu Guang, and I am an employee of Xintong Electronics Company. Our boss happened to obtain your resume and knew that you used to be an accountant in a certain factory. Our company happens to lack talent in this area, I don't know if you are willing to come to our company to try it out?"

  Ma Yun was stunned by the pie, and for a moment he couldn't accept it, staring blankly. If Meng Qiang hadn't pulled her skirt, she wouldn't have come to her senses yet.

  After careful consideration, Ma Yun asked cautiously: "I don't know, how much salary does your company pay?" It's not that she's greedy for money, but with the situation at home, how can she not ask in detail?

  "Listen, sis, let me tell you something. My monthly salary is 200 yuan, and if I perform well, there's a bonus. At the end of the year, there might even be a double salary as a year-end bonus. The treatment is really good. They provide lunch every noon, and if you don't eat it, they'll give you the money instead. I think if you go, your salary won't be lower than mine, right? What do you say, sis?"

  Ma Yun was very excited to hear that, he could earn one hundred yuan a month and it was already good luck, could the salary really be so high? She was very moved, but also somewhat hesitant.

  "Lesser brother, I went and they really can employ me?"

  "This I can say is not good, after all our boss has only heard of you and doesn't know what your abilities are like, the boss will definitely want to test you out. You have a lot of experience in accounting, I estimate it's almost enough, besides, you just need to go once and that's it, even if you're not selected, there's no loss, right?"

  Ma Yun was still hesitant, but Meng Qiang on the side was a bit anxious: "A Yun, agree to it, try it out and see what happens, besides you were one of our excellent employees back then."

  Hearing her husband say so, Ma Yun no longer hesitated: "Okay, I'll give it a try." There was both hesitation and determination in his eyes.

  Less than a slap on the thigh, he said with excitement: "That's right, sister, you're absolutely right. Xintong Electronics is a great place that many people can't find even with a lantern. How could we miss it? When the time comes, you'll go and see for yourself, I'm not exaggerating at all."

  Next, Xiao gave Ma Yun the company's address and told her to go there tomorrow afternoon. She just needed to tell the receptionist that she was there for an interview, and someone would let her in.

  It's noon, Ma Yun kept asking Xiao Yu to stay and have lunch together, but Xiao Yu declined. And also told Ma Yun that it's okay to return the money later, no rush.

  Then Xiao Zai walked out under the gaze of Ma Yun's family with a thousand thanks and gratitude, completing today's task.

  Ma Yun returned to the house somewhat absent-mindedly, and even lunch was made by Meng Kang.

  "I remember, that Xintong Electronics is the same Xintong Electronics." Meng Qiang got excited for a moment, "I heard that Xintong Electronics has many stores, all of them are their own in the north, I've heard about it before."

  "Really? If so, that would be great. I can also get a monthly salary of 200 yuan?" Ma Yun was also excited.

  Not to mention how excited the couple was, but on the second day, Ma Yun dressed neatly and nervously arrived at the gate of Xintong Electronics.

  Such a magnificent building, I never dared to imagine working inside it before, and I don't know if I can succeed this time.

  Ma Yun took a deep breath and walked into the building, where he was greeted by the receptionist, Liu Yue, who was the same girl that Song Jie had praised.

  Upon arriving at Zhao Tong's office, she received a warm welcome. Afterwards, Zhao Tong asked some professional questions and Ma Yun answered them fluently. These were all commonly used ones that she was very familiar with.

  Zhao Tong was very satisfied and immediately decided to hire her on the spot, offering a monthly salary of 260 yuan, and asked her to go find Sister Wu to learn more about the company's situation.

  He didn't expect the salary here to be so high, and Jack Ma had only one thought in his mind - he had come to the right place!
