Chapter 20
Holding a bowl, Fan Hua knocked on the door of the next door. Thinking of the noise she accidentally heard when she passed by this dormitory in the middle of the night, her ears felt a little hot…
“Who is it?” A woman’s voice asked from inside the room.
When Fan Hua heard the voice, she quickly replied, “I’m the new neighbor next door. We made some chicken soup today and wanted to send some to you guys to try…”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened and a woman in her twenties opened the door. The woman was wearing a light yellow dress, tall, with bright features, and long hair draped over her shoulders, pinned with a hairband, looking very fashionable and stylish.
The woman looked at Fan Hua for a moment and asked, “Who are you to Director Jiang?”
Fan Hua realized that Director Jiang must be talking about Aunt Jiang, and remembered what Jiang Wenli said on the train, so she replied: “Hello, I am Director Jiang’s distant niece Fan Lihua, I am here to stay for a while, we will be neighbors in the future, please take care of me.”
After saying that, Fan Hua did not forget to pass over the chicken soup.
The woman took the chicken soup, smelled the fragrance, and said with a smile: “Hello, my name is Su Wen, and I am the wife of Zhang Shaoyuan from the editorial department of Yangcheng Newspaper. Thank you for the chicken soup. I will go in and change the bowl. You come in and sit with me for a while!”
Fan Hua didn’t hesitate to go in and sit down.
There was no one else in the room. It was very clean and tidy, and had a bit of a bohemian feel.
Cowhide sofas, radios, oil painting frames, books all over the wall, many of which are in English, and glass on the knitted tassel tablecloth…
It doesn’t seem to be the taste of ordinary urban workers.
Just as I was thinking about it, Su Wen had come out of the kitchen and washed the dishes clean.
Fan Hua took the bowl and couldn’t help asking, “Your house is decorated so beautifully. Can I ask what you do for a living?”
Su Wen was very happy to hear Fan Hua praise her beautiful house, and said straightforwardly: “I am a translator.”
“No wonder, you’re so awesome!”
Although Fan Hua has a minor in English and has passed the CET-8, she still praised him sincerely, saying that after all, in this day and age, there are not many people who can be translators.
Su Wen smiled and said, “It’s nothing, it’s just that everyone is good at different things.”
Fan Hua had a good impression of her and smiled, “I’m good at designing clothes. Come to my house when you have time and I’ll design two sets for you. See if you like them.”
“Great! I didn’t expect that you are not only beautiful, but also so clever!”
“No one is prettier than you. Your figure and looks are too outstanding, and most importantly, your temperament is also great!”
No wonder the young couple was still exercising in the middle of the night, if she were a man she wouldn’t be able to control herself! Fan Hua thought to herself.
Su Wen looked at Fan Hua’s sincere and serious expression and couldn’t help but feel a bit favorable towards her.
“You are really good at talking. Come visit me more often when you have time!”
Fan Hua smiled and said, “Okay. By the way, drink the chicken soup while it’s hot. I’m going to go back first. I have to deliver a bowl to the first store in the corridor. We can talk again when we have time.”
“Okay…” Su Wen hesitated for a moment and then said, “I heard from Shao Yuan that the woman in that family is called Cai Ronghua. She also wanted to compete for the director of the newspaper before, but she failed to win over Aunt Jiang. She doesn’t get along well with Aunt Jiang and is not easy to get along with. You should pay attention to her.”
Fan Hua was stunned for a moment, then nodded gratefully.
Thump…thump…thump…
Fan Hua hesitated for a moment and knocked on the door.
“Who is it? It’s so noisy!”
“Hello, I’m a new neighbor and I want to bring you a bowl of chicken soup.”
