The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng(38)

 Chapter 38: Can I Get Your Contact Information Now?

Hearing Jiang Chenchen's words, Gu Mingmei raised her eyebrows slightly. "Are you in urgent need of money?"

Didn't her little brother provide her with a breakup fee? Gu Mingmei clicked her tongue inwardly and shook her head.

Normally, people who wanted to sign with their company were aiming for fame in the entertainment industry, considering long-term benefits. Getting famous would naturally bring in a steady stream of income. However, it seemed like Jiang Chenchen wanted to make quick money.

Gu Mingmei thought for a moment. "Wait a moment. Let me check if there's any project available that you can take over right away."

She made a call and asked her assistant to check.

While Jiang Chenchen sipped her coffee, Gu Mingmei quickly put down her phone and smiled in a bewitching manner. "There is. You can participate in a program next week where amateurs date celebrities. You can earn money first and increase your exposure. If you're interested, we can discuss it in detail at the company."

Without hesitation, Jiang Chenchen replied, "Okay."

Gu Mingmei didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Could it be that her quick response was due to the recent breakup? Understanding that love doesn't bring money, or perhaps diving into another relationship on a variety show could help her quickly forget?

She speculated for a moment, steadied her smile, and said, "So, can I get your contact information now?"

"No phone."

"Really?"

Gu Mingmei guessed that Jiang Chenchen might genuinely be in need of money and didn't have a phone because it was broken. So, she took out a card from her wallet and handed it over. "This is the money I owe you for dirtying your shoes. You can use it to buy a new phone."

"As for the details of participating in the program, you can come to the company tomorrow at 9 AM to learn more and sign the contract."

Jiang Chenchen took the card and was about to get up when Gu Mingmei chuckled lightly. "You don't have to leave in such a hurry. How about sitting down and chatting? It's also lunchtime. Shall we find a place to eat?"

She wanted to gossip a bit more. Unfortunately, the girl across from her wasn't giving her face.

Feeling quite uncomfortable about not being able to gossip, the coffee in front of her lost its appeal.

As Jiang Chenchen was about to leave the coffee shop, Gu Mingmei thought about calling her annoying brother to mock him. However, after imagining his face, she decided not to bother herself with it.

...

Jiang Chenchen bought an ordinary mobile phone, and there was still a lot of money left in her card. Gu Mingmei was quite generous.

Jiang Chenchen immediately dialed Xia Changli's phone. "Are you doing well?"

"Chenchen? Are you using someone else's phone?" Xia Changli lowered her voice. "I'm fine. How about you? You're not a scammer, right?"

"I'm not a scammer."

Xia Changli breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Chenchen, I applied for a sales position at a company. I might not be back for lunch. Buy something to eat outside and then go home to rest. Take care of yourself."

Jiang Chenchen agreed.

After hanging up the phone, she decided to grab a bite nearby and then take a bus home. Everything went smoothly, and she quickly memorized the route.

When she returned to the rental house, she changed her clothes and immersed herself in studying.

It got dark, but Xia Changli still hadn't returned.

Jiang Chenchen called her, but there was no answer.

She continued to focus on studying. When she checked the time, it was already half-past ten. There was a disturbance outside the door, and when she opened it, Xia Changli stumbled in, a bit drunk. She took off her shoes and collapsed on the small sofa.

Jiang Chenchen poured her a cup of hot water and helped her sit up to drink it.

Xia Changli felt less distressed in her heart. She said, "This company has a half-month probation period, and the salary is good, but there's a lot of socializing. I'm really not good at drinking."

She rubbed her temples. "Just get through this transitional period."

However, at three in the morning, her stomach began to ache. She endured it for a while, but Jiang Chenchen noticed and, grabbing her phone, put on her jacket and carried her outside.

They lived in a remote area, and it was impossible to get a taxi in the middle of the night!
