Chapter 161: Fate is always there
In the following time, everything was normal in the travel agency, and the new customers, Lin Jiaming, were also personally responsible. Compared with before, the transaction volume has decreased a little, but it is still tight, and after paying the normal expenses, there is still a balance.
Zhang Pipi and Sun Youjia also reminded Lin Jiaming to be careful of the funds in the account, but Lin Jiaming felt that there was no need to worry too much, after all, the account was in his own hands. Still, he made a few preparations. The rest of the time was uneventful.
The time has come to the middle of the lunar month, and the Lunar New Year is only half a month away.
At noon that day, the north wind did not rage as usual, and the winter sun used its warmth to melt the snowdrift that had been piled up several times, but the snowdrift remained the same as it had been at the beginning. Perhaps the sun is mainly nourishing the southern hemisphere at this time, busy bringing rain to Australia, and welcoming new life with the penguins and not having time to care about the snow and ice of the northern hemisphere.
Lin Jiaming, as usual, lay on the chair after sorting out the materials, squinting and resting.
"Brother Ming~" Chen Fang walked over, her voice mixed with a little sadness.
"Fang, what's wrong?" Lin Jiaming opened his eyes, sat up straight, and put his two hands together on the table.
"I want to take a leave, my grandmother is seriously ill, so I ......" Before she finished speaking, there were tears rolling in Chen Fang's eyes.
Lin Jiaming has never had any resistance to girls' tears, let alone in such a situation.
"Okay, go back, be careful on the road, and spend more time with the old man when you go back!" Lin Jiaming said gently.
"Thank you, Brother Ming~ Then I'll ...... leaving" Chen Fang thanked him, and was about to turn around and go out, but was stopped by Lin Jiaming again.
"Fang, wait a minute, how long are you going to take leave?"
Chen Fang was stunned for a moment.
"If I recover well, I will come back in three or five days, and if I don't recover well......" Chen Fang didn't continue because she was a little choked.
Lin Jiaming looked at Chen Fang's red eyes and said what he thought.
"In this way, you go back and accompany your grandmother, and come back to work in the next year!"
"This ......" Chen Fang hesitated, the travel agency was busy, at this time, Lin Jiaming, the boss, gave him such a long vacation, could he have found out about those two customers?
"Go with confidence!" Lin Jiangnan added.
"Brother Ming, are you ready to fire me?" Chen Fang suddenly said this, but as soon as the words came out, she regretted it. In any case, her question seemed a little inexplicable, mixed with a weak heart.
"What do you think? As long as you don't change jobs and my travel agency doesn't collapse, there must be a place for you here. Lin Jiaming stood up and said with a smile.
"Oh~ I understand, thank you, Brother Ming!" The doubts on Chen Fang's face dissipated a little, and there was a little more guilt. However, Lin Jiaming did not notice this.
"Are the tickets set?"
"It's not time yet!"
"Do you want me to order it for you?"
"No, I'll just order it from the app! Then I'll go first, if a file can't be found, look for me at any time, I'll be on call twenty-four hours a day!" Chen Fang's face finally didn't have such complicated emotions.
After Chen Fang went out, Lin Jiaming transferred two months' salary to Chen Fang's bank card, one of which was given to her as a year-end bonus. And leave a message in the remarks:
"The wonder of life lies in the fact that fate allows people from two different worlds to meet in a certain place and at a certain time. This kind of fate allows us to encourage and support each other on the long road of life. Maybe things won't always go as planned, but I hope we cherish each other!"
Lin Jiaming didn't want to speculate on how Chen Fang would feel when she received two months' salary and this passage. What he did didn't seem to be in exchange for Chen Fang's gratitude, he always felt that he was just doing his duty as a boss and the compassion he should have as a person.
And Chen Fang, I don't know if it was because she was in a hurry and didn't find out that she had received her salary or because she didn't know how to reply to Lin Jiaming's "message", she didn't reply to Lin Jiaming for several hours, and she didn't have a normal "received"!
The travel agency did not receive a new order today, so in the afternoon, Lin Jiaming took care of the rest of the things in the store, and then made an appointment with Lu Haowan to see Aunt Zhao in the evening. Lin Jiaming had heard Lu Haowan say before that Aunt Zhao hadn't gone to work for a long time, and her physical condition had declined sharply.
When she arrived at Lu Haowan's shop, she had already packed up and sat on a chair waiting for Lin Jiaming.
"Is Aunt Zhao's condition very bad?" As soon as he pushed the door open, Lin Jiaming asked.
"Anyway, it's not too high, I've been calling her every day these days, but it sounds very weak!" Seeing Lin Jiaming come in, Lu Haowan picked up the small bag and walked quickly to Lin Jiaming's side.
"Let's bring something to eat just like last time, I guess Aunt Zhao is inconvenient to cook by herself......"
"I will go over every morning to help Aunt Zhao cook a meal, but at night she needs to warm it up by herself!" Lu Haowan looked at Lin Jiaming and said.
"I didn't see it, my girlfriend is so loving~" Lin Jiaming looked at Lu Haowan with a smile.
"Cut, did you just find out?" Lu Haowan looked at Lin Jiaming angrily and dragged him out of the door.
Although Lu Haowan would cook a meal for Aunt Zhao every day, Lin Jiaming still insisted on bringing some fresh fruits.
When she arrived at Aunt Zhao's house, Lu Haowan directly took out the key and opened the door. Since it was winter, at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, I couldn't see my fingers in the house without turning on the lights.
"Aunt Zhao?" Lu Haowan turned on the lights and called Aunt Zhao softly.
Aunt Zhao opened her eyes with great effort and looked at Lu Haowan with a half-squint.
"Hey...... Wan'er... Come on...... I've slept until this night......" Aunt Zhao wanted to sit up, but after several attempts, she still couldn't sit up. It was Lin Jiaming and Lu Haowan who picked her up together.
"Kobayashi is also here......"
"Auntie, how do you feel?" Lin Jiaming took a stool and sat on the edge of the bed, picked up the fruit knife from the bedside table, and asked while peeling fruit for Aunt Zhao.
"I just feel a little overwhelmed, but everything else is fine......"
may be because the illness has completely dragged down Aunt Zhao's body, and she struggles every time she says a word, and she has to breathe for a while after speaking.
"We bought a chicken tonight and boiled chicken soup for my aunt!" After speaking, Lin Jiaming called Lu Haowan over and fed Aunt Zhao apples, while he went to the kitchen by himself.
After the sound of "ping pong", Lin Jiaming's chicken was put into the pot.
Lin Jiaming originally wanted to boil slowly, but the time was a little late, and Aunt Zhao definitely didn't eat in the afternoon, so Lin Jiaming chose a pressure cooker.
When Aunt Zhao's old house was filled with the fresh fragrance of chicken soup, Aunt Zhao, Lin Jiaming and Lu Haowan were laughing at the smirk that Lin Jiaming had made, on the contrary, there was silence in the cold moonlight outside the house!
