Chapter 38: Best Friends

The two walked for a while and arrived at the translation agency.

Mao Jie arrived early as usual but was slightly stunned when he saw the man next to Shen Sangyu.

Shen Sangyu smiled and introduced, “This is my husband, Wen Qingchuan.”

Then she introduced Mao Jie to Wen Qingchuan.

The two men nodded implicitly, pretending to know each other.

Shen Sangyu handed all the translated manuscripts to Mao Jie. Mao Jie glanced at them and exclaimed,

“I have submitted the manuscript you translated last time to the publishing house, and the publishing house said there is no problem.”

“So fast?” Shen Sangyu was a little surprised.

She thought that after the translation, it would take at least half a year to complete the review.

Publishing is supposed to be more rigorous, with many steps and processes, and half a year is not a long time.

“There are not many translated books at the publishing house now, so the review is faster, but it will still take three or four months to go through the entire process.”

Mao Jie said, and gave Shen Sangyu a new manuscript and envelope.

Shen Sangyu touched the envelope and felt that the contents were thick. She was slightly surprised: “Did you give me too much?”

After that, Shen Sangyu opened the envelope and counted them. There were ten ten-yuan notes neatly arranged inside.

“No, it’s a bonus for you.”

Mao Jie had seen Shen Sangyu’s translations and knew that they would definitely sell out once they were sold.

His future translations might even win awards, so he didn’t care about this little money.

Seeing this, Shen Sangyu took the money without hesitation: “Don’t worry, I will definitely do a good job!”

After Shen Sangyu and Mao Jie chatted about work, he came out with new manuscripts and the hot salary.

“Wen Qingchuan, am I great?”

Shen Sangyu happily took the hundred yuan in front of Wen Qingchuan and then kissed the money twice.

Wen Qingchuan looked at Shen Sangyu, who was smiling like a little fox, and the corners of his mouth pulled up an arc.

“Great.”

Hearing Wen Qingchuan say this, Shen Sangyu felt more comfortable.

“Let’s go, I’ll buy you clothes, and then we’ll have a meal to celebrate!”

This is the first formal salary since coming to this world, and Shen Sangyu has begun to imagine how to spend it.

Shen Sangyu chattered all the way, and Wen Qingchuan just listened and said nothing.

Walking to the supply and marketing cooperative, there were still a lot of people at this time.

Wen Qingchuan looked at the men’s clothes. The current clothes are not as diverse as the clothes of later generations.

Most of the men’s coats are Zhongshan suits, and there are only a few colors.

Shen Sangyu chose and chose, and finally bought two neat sets of clothes for Wen Qingchuan.

But when it came to the checkout, Wen Qingchuan was stunned when he heard the price.

“How much do you say?”

Wen Qingchuan’s voice was so shocked that he almost split his legs, and his pupils were wide.

Shen Sangyu had been to the supply and marketing cooperative several times, and almost all the employees of the supply and marketing cooperative knew Shen Sangyu, so she repeated again: “A total of 70 yuan plus cloth coupons.”

Before Wen Qingchuan could react, Shen Sangyu had already taken out the cloth coupons and seven brand new ten-yuan bills.

“We don’t want them.”

Wen Qingchuan reacted much faster this time, holding Shen Sangyu’s hand and said: “Sangyu, I don’t have the opportunity to wear these clothes normally, so keep this money for you to buy clothes.”

His monthly salary was only this little money, and he spent it all on it at once, and Wen Qingchuan’s heart trembled.

Shen Sangyu couldn’t help but look at Wen Qingchuan and finally couldn’t help laughing.

She really didn’t realize that Wen Qingchuan was still a stingy person.

But that can’t be said. Before, she threw away the clothes of the original owner and bought a closet of clothes, and the man didn’t seem to say anything.

“Sangyu, listen to me, don’t waste money.” Wen Qingchuan saw that Shen Sangyu was still insisting, so he tried to persuade her kindly.

It’s not that he was reluctant to spend the money, but he just felt that it was unnecessary to spend it on him.

Shen Sangyu reacted and insisted: “You can’t always wear it like this; change to something new. The two clothes in your closet don’t fit me well.”

Wen Qingchuan suddenly blushed.

Because the two uniforms were bought when he just joined the army.

“Please pack them for us; we will buy them.”

Shen Sangyu handed over the money, and the supply and marketing cooperative member immediately packed the clothes and handed them to Shen Sangyu.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Shen Sangyu found Wen Qingchuan’s distressed look a little funny:

“Don’t think about it; I bought this for you with my own salary. Don’t you like it?”

Wen Qingchuan shook his head quickly: “I like it very much!”

Not only liked it, but also felt indescribably touched.

Wen Qingchuan said seriously: “You are the first person to buy me clothes.”

Shen Sangyu was stunned for a moment, and the first thought in her mind was that he didn’t wear new clothes when he was a child.

But after thinking about it, Li Shuhua’s mean face suddenly emerged in her mind.

It was probably good enough for Wen Qingchuan to have these clothes when he was a child.

Shen Sangyu suddenly felt a little pity for Wen Qingchuan and said softly with a smile on her face: “Then I will buy them for you in the future.”

Wen Qingchuan’s brain exploded with a bang, and his ears seemed to be filled with seawater. He was like a small boat rising and falling on it.

In the end, Shen Sangyu called him several times before he came back to his senses.

“What are you thinking about?”

Wen Qingchuan suddenly felt his earlobes getting hot and quickly shook his head: “Nothing, I’ll listen to you.”

Shen Sangyu: “…”

Just listen to her; why are your ears red?

“Sangyu.”

When Shen Sangyu was complaining in her heart, she suddenly heard someone calling her.

Subconsciously, she turned around and saw a girl in a gray cotton jacket and big trousers coming over.

Shen Sangyu frowned when she saw that person coming over: “It’s really you!”

Shen Sangyu looked at the girl in front of her. She looked about 20 years old.

There were several girls of similar age standing behind her, and the eyes of this group of people were all looking at her.

Wen Qingchuan didn’t say anything on the side, and Shen Sangyu also frowned and pulled her hand out of the other person’s grasp.

She suddenly remembered who this person was.

The person in front of her was Ye Ling, the “good girlfriend” who deceived the original owner to spend all the betrothal gifts.

At this time, Ye Ling saw Shen Sangyu pulling her hand back, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, but she soon smiled and said: “It’s only been a few months; don’t you recognize me?”

As she said, Ye Ling pretended to be a little angry.

The original owner had a bad temper before, and Ye Ling was the only friend around her, so she could be said to be obedient to this good friend.

The clothes the original owner bought were all instigated by Ye Ling.

The original owner was very generous to this only good friend and did not forget her when buying clothes.

All expenses were paid by the original owner.

In her memory, this Ye Ling often borrowed money and almost never paid it back, but the original owner didn’t care.

As long as Ye Ling asked for money, she would never refuse.

Shen Sangyu broke away from her memory and immediately showed a standard smile: “Ye Ling, of course I remember you.”

Ye Ling felt something was wrong when she heard it.

Before she could react, she saw Shen Sangyu spread out her palm to her: “Are you going to pay me back today?”
