Xu Li was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a strange tone: "Didn't you bring any food?"

Ning Shiyi said "Oh" and then remembered what he had forgotten before.

"I forgot to cook."

I didn't even cook. Hey... I blame myself for oversleeping and didn't cook.

Xu Li looked at the time: "It will probably take more than an hour to order takeout at this time. How about you eat some with me?"

Ning Shiyi waved her hands and refused with a smile. This was a polite word among colleagues. She would not really eat her lunch.

"I'll go downstairs to the convenience store to buy some."

I ate the biscuits from the pantry in the morning. If I skipped lunch and waited until I got home in the evening to make them, I might get a stomachache.

When Ning Shiyi was in school, she would rush to work part-time after class in order to save time. She often couldn't take care of eating. She often had stomachaches for a while, but then she didn't dare to do it anymore. She was afraid that if she didn't make any money, her body would get sick, and the gain would outweigh the loss.

When Xu Li saw her walking out, she didn't say anything about eating together. She smiled and joked behind her, "Why are you so distracted today?"

Ning Shiyi smiled and said, "I didn't sleep well last night."

While talking, I picked up my phone and went downstairs. There is a convenience store in the park, which is only a three- to five-minute walk away. It is very convenient to buy things.But Ning Shiyi rarely comes here. Usually she cooks by herself, which is clean and cheap.

Only occasionally would she buy something if she suddenly had to work overtime and didn't have time to prepare.The cheapest bento in a convenience store is tomato-flavored rice bowl for 15.9 yuan. Buying raw materials such as tomatoes, eggs, and rice can make three or four meals for her. This is how ordinary people can save their daily expenses.

With a "ding dong" sound, the convenience store's automatic glass door opened to both sides along with the electronic sound of "Welcome".Ning Shiyi went directly to the refrigerated area and squatted down to find a lunch box.

"Today's store celebration is a buy two get one free oden promotion. Do you need it?"

The clerk makes routine sales during checkout.

"No, thank you." Ning Shiyi picked up the phone and prepared to pay.

"A tomato-flavored bento, 8.9 yuan."

She was stunned for a moment, and then she checked that the display screen indeed showed "8.9 yuan".

"I remembered the wrong price." She muttered in her mind.I paid the clerk to help heat the meal, and while the bento was being heated, I took a look at the items on the shelves.

The most obvious items in the convenience store were snacks, potato chips and various drinks. Ning Shixi had no interest in these. He walked through a row of food shelves and inadvertently glanced at a price tag in the women's products section.

She stepped back again from the steps she had taken, and looked intently at the small print on the price tag.

"BBC Nighttime 290cm Extended Nighttime Sanitary Pads, 10 pieces/pack... 5.9 yuan."

She couldn't help but reach out and take it out to look at the item number, and then the price... Is the price... cheaper than in the supermarket?

I turned it over in my hand and looked at it twice. Just as I was hesitating whether to buy it, I glanced at another shelf with a certain brand of mellow chocolate, 80g/pack, priced at 3 yuan.

Ning Shiyi turned around and looked at the shelves. A certain brand of barreled potato chips was priced at 90 yuan for 5 grams, and 2.9 grams of yellow classic original flavor bags were priced at [-] yuan... After looking around, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. It felt...like something was wrong...but this thought only appeared briefly in my mind, and was interrupted by the clerk's voice, and quickly disappeared without a trace.

"Ma'am, your lunch is ready."

The clerk used a special piece of insulation paper to hold out Ning Shiyi's lunch box, and thoughtfully brought her a pair of chopsticks.

"Oh well."

She reached out to take the hot lunch and suddenly asked: "Is there a sale in the store?"

The young clerk was a little confused, but patiently introduced: "Today is a store celebration event, buy two and get one free on oden."

Ning Shiyi shook his head and said no need, took the meal and walked to the office.

"Xiao Ning, the boss asked you to come over."

Seeing Ning Shiyi coming back, Xu Li waved to her and pointed in the direction of the boss's office in the back.

Ning Shiyi’s boss, Wang Zongzong, is a man in his early thirties. He is not tall and wears a casual suit. His family is quite wealthy. He is the second generation of rich people to start a business. However, he is doing well. The company has done well in recent years, except for the salary. There is only a symbolic increase of 200 yuan every year, and there is almost no change.

"Xiao Ning, how many years have you been working in the company?"

As soon as Ning Shi entered the office, Mr. Wang asked directly.

"Five years." Counting from the internship.

Mr. Wang nodded and pointed to the seat opposite to indicate for her to sit down. Ning Shiyi felt a little nervous when she sat down.In just ten seconds on the way here, I have reviewed my performance in the past six months. I feel that my work is quite serious and I have nothing to do with it.

"Xiao Ning, Mr. Zhu will resign at the end of the month due to personal reasons. What do you think of the position of vice president? Is there a suitable candidate?"

Ning Shiyi's heart beat wildly. He had a vague guess in his mind, but he did not dare to speak rashly. Instead, he turned over the boss's words in his mind, and then cautiously replied: "This news is very sudden... Mr. Zhu has it in his hands." I have always been responsible for the specific docking of the projects, and by the end of the month, there should be no problems with the work handover."

She first made it clear that "Mr. Zhu doesn't do anything, and it won't have any impact if he leaves."

He added: "The position of vice president definitely needs experienced people..."

This Lao Zhu is just an airborne. The vague meaning of this is "Stop doing airborne operations." Let's hire some people who do practical things.

I don’t know how Lao Zhu deceived his boss into taking charge of the company. He has done nothing for more than half a year since he came here. His colleagues complained about him in private. He didn’t expect to leave his job. What a surprise!

She was thinking about this in her mind when she heard Mr. Wang suddenly smile at her and said, "I think you are very good. Do you dare to take this position?"

Ning Shiyi was stunned.

Seeing her eyes widening in surprise, Mr. Wang leaned back on the office chair and joked: "What? Are you not confident..."

When Ning Shiyi came out of the office ten minutes later, it still felt a little unreal.

"How is it?" Xu Li came over to inquire.

Ning Shiyi suppressed the ups and downs of excitement in his heart, and remained calm on his face. He only said: "I asked about some project matters, and I heard that Lao Zhu will resign at the end of the month."

She had just been "forced" to get a promotion and a salary increase by Mr. Wang in the office. She still hadn't finished digesting it. She didn't plan to tell her colleagues so soon to avoid gossip. She needed to think about it herself.

Probably because the promotion affected his mood, Ning Shiyi stayed up until get off work. He didn't even want to make dinner, so he ate something and returned to the Jiangbin Road parking lot.After parking the car in the parking space, I just washed my face when I saw Lao Wangtou coming over to talk.

"Xiao Ning... I have to pay the parking fee this month."

"Oh...ok, I almost forgot."

Ning Shiyi took out his mobile phone and prepared to transfer money to Lao Wangtou, while he continued to listen to his nagging talk.

"It's 200 yuan a month. There is no such cheap 24-hour parking lot in the city. If I didn't see you as a nice girl, I wouldn't dare rent it."

Ning Shiyi's fingers paused, looking at the three numbers 1, 5, and 0 that had been entered on the screen, and the fleeting thought in his mind appeared again.

"How much are you talking about?"

She raised her head and stared at Lao Wang's head.
