On this day, my female colleague said that the rented apartment was due to expire and the landlord would take it back for her son’s wedding. A few days later, she came to work with her suitcase. I couldn’t bear it, so I rented the apartment at home at half price. After learning the truth, she thanked me very much and said something that stunned me.
Pictures come from the Internet
My name is Zhang Cheng, I am 28 years old, and I am a salesperson in a company. This morning, when I came to work and just sat down, my female colleague Xiao Ran suddenly said: "Zhang Cheng, when you find the manager is here, hurry up Squeak, I need to find a house to move online.
I said in surprise: "Xiaoran, what, you still rent a house, and your salary is tens of thousands of yuan!" I've never seen you buy any luxury goods?
Xiao Ran smiled bitterly and said: "Oh! Aren't you supporting my brother? He has just graduated from graduate school and started working. Originally, I was thinking of saving for another two years to buy a small apartment with a down payment. Now it's too late?
I said: Why are you late? A few days ago, my cousin just paid a down payment. I heard that the price is not high. If you need it, I can ask her for help.
Xiaoran said: "Zhang Cheng, thank you for your concern. , I can’t even raise the money for the down payment now, so I won’t bother you. After she said that, she concentrated on looking for a house online.
I was too embarrassed to say anything else, so I went on a business trip for a few more days. When I came back, I found that Xiaoran never mentioned the house issue again, and I didn't ask her, thinking she had already solved it.
On Monday morning, I just arrived at the company. Gangzi, my colleague on the left, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Zhang Cheng, look at the right side. Only then did I realize that Xiaoran came to work with his suitcase, because there were three of us. Sit in a row.
So, I said in surprise: "Xiao Ran, why did you bring the suitcase? Could it be that the accommodation has not been settled yet?
"Yes! The rent in the suburbs is cheap, but I don't have a car! Taking the bus is too slow, and the rent in the city is too expensive. It requires one-third of my monthly income.
I said: You can contact the landlord Let's discuss staying for a few more days. There is no lounge in the company. How can you sleep at night?
Xiaoran said nonchalantly: I'm not that squeamish and can fall asleep lying on the table. The main reason is that the landlord's son is getting married. If I want to use that house, they have given me seven days to find it, and it’s free, so I can’t bother them anymore.
I feel so bad when I look at Xiaoran. She’s such a beautiful girl, and she’s homeless now! Yeah! I should help her, mainly because I owe her a favor.
That was six years ago, when I just started working. Two months had passed, and I still had no sales, and I was in danger of being fired. There was nothing I could do about it because I was not good at talking, and in our line of work, it was impossible to talk too much.
Xiaoran suddenly asked me that day: "Zhang Cheng, it has been almost two months since you joined the company!" How about it? A few deals have been signed!
I said frustrated; it seems that I need to find another job! This job is not suitable for me, maybe it's because of my stupid mouth.
Xiao Ran chuckled and said: "Zhang Cheng, you have just entered the workplace, how can you have such an idea? What you are doing now is just to hang around. There are only two consequences of hanging around. You quit your job, and your job quits you. ? You are a man, why don’t you work hard to win the future?
I was stimulated by Xiaoran’s words! I glared at her and said: Since I joined the job, I have been running into obstacles, and the manager has not asked me to find someone to teach me. Just assign me a task.
Xiaoran said: The manager has no time to care about you! He is busy with customers every day. If you don’t mind that I joined the company a year earlier than you, just follow me and run the business. I followed Xiaoran for a month, and she helped me sign three orders. I finally got through the crisis of being resigned. Then she took me on two more business trips, and I left the company
. Over the years, I always felt that I owed Xiaoran a favor, and I never had the chance to repay her. Let’s go have a meal together occasionally! She always asked for the AA fee to pay, which made me embarrassed to invite her to dinner again. .
Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered that after my house was demolished, three houses were compensated. My parents and I each lived in one, and there was also an apartment. The tenants just moved out last month, and it was still vacant recently.
So I said: "Xiao Ran, our company is four stops away by bus. Don't you think it's far?
Xiao Ran immediately said: Four stops is not far, isn't it still in the city center? No, then The rent is too expensive, and I’m not willing to spend money.
“How much do you plan to rent a house for a month? I can help you ask, because our family lives there.
"Zhang Cheng, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I want to rent an apartment for 1,500 yuan. However, I have looked at many apartments. The ones in better locations are 2,500 yuan to 3,000 yuan, unless they are cheaper in the suburbs.
I laugh He said: "Xiaoran, your brother is already working to make money, so don't wrong yourself anymore.
Xiao Ran sighed and said: "Zhang Cheng, do you know, my hometown is in a remote village. In order to support me to complete my studies, my parents had to sell the iron to support me.
So, I joined the work seven I have been earning money to support my brother for four years and three years as a postgraduate student. Now I owe relatives more than 20,000 yuan. That was the money my mother borrowed for surgery last year, so I want to rent a cheaper house and save the money. Money, give my parents more pocket money. After all, they are older and I don’t want them to have to work too hard.
After listening to Xiaoran’s words, I immediately ran to the stairwell to call my mother and ask her where she was at home. Is the monthly rent for the apartment 1,500 yuan? And I told my mother truthfully that Xiaoran had helped me and her current predicament, and my mother agreed without saying a word.
When I told Xiaoran, my friend’s house was vacant. , she was so happy when I offered to rent it to her at a 50% discount. After get off work in the evening, I took her to the apartment. The house had been cleaned spotlessly by my mother.
In this way, after Xiaoran settled down, I I felt that we all lived in the same community, so I took her with me to and from get off work every day. Three months passed in the blink of an eye. Last night, Xiaoran suddenly came to me and said, "Zhang Cheng, my neighbor's aunt told me just now that this apartment is actually..." It's yours. After she finished speaking, she transferred 4,500 yuan to me.
I said: "Xiaoran, why are you being polite? I won't accept this money! It was you who taught me how to run the business. Over the years, I haven't had the chance to repay you?
Xiaoran was silent for a long time. Said: "Zhang Cheng, how can I thank you for doing this? To be honest, I have been in love with you for a long time, but I just feel that my family situation is not good and I am not worthy of you. If you don't dislike me, can you consider me?
I was instantly confused! This misunderstanding happened! Tell me, how should I answer?
