Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 77
Jiang Bai wanted to take advantage of the two days off time to go back quickly and bring some food back to school. If Jiang Ning continued to use so many food stamps, he was afraid that she would not have anything left until the end of the semester.
After finishing all the food stamps, Jiang Ning would be hungry by then.
He knew the feeling of being hungry very well. It was too uncomfortable. His sister was still young and ignorant, so she spent as much money as she could with the food stamps in her hands, but he had to consider the issue of future food rations for her.
He said, “Then let’s leave tomorrow morning.” The minibus would be waiting at the gate of their school in the morning. If they missed the time, they would have to go to the station and take the bus by themselves.
It took nearly an hour to go to the station by yourself, and it cost fifty cents for the bus.
Because of the monthly exams, the exams were held at 9pm on Friday. Students who originally went home on Friday evening did not leave until Saturday morning.
“Not in the morning.” Jiang Ning thought for a while and said, “I won’t be able to set off until about ten o’clock.”
She wanted to take advantage of Saturday morning to write a manuscript of more than 10,000 words for Wang Yong. She had been busy with monthly exams these days and had no time to write. During the three-day National Day holiday, she had to go home to pick up her grandfather to go to Shanghai and get a physical examination by a doctor in the city. So she may not have time to write. She had to write more as soon as possible in the morning.
Wang Yong knew that she had to give the monthly exam. In addition, she had saved a lot of manuscripts before, and there was no waste of time as they received the manuscript by email. Wang Yong told Director Li that he would wait until Jiang Ning took the monthly exam before writing another manuscript.
After knowing that Jiang Ning was a high school student, Director Li had already been mentally prepared for it. That was only the first year of high school. By the second and third years of high school, there would be less time for writing. By then, Catcher in Song Dynasty should also be finished.
“Then I’ll wait for you downstairs tomorrow morning.”
“Wait for me at the school gate.”
Because of the school’s rules prohibiting male and female students from getting together, when Jiang Ning and Jiang Bai were talking, He Xiaofang and the others sat far away in the girls’ section and watched, unable to hear what they were saying.
He Xiaofang thought that Jiang Ning would not go home during the National Day. When she thought that in the next three days, she and Jiang Ning would be the only two people left in the dormitory, she was so happy that she almost jumped up and got up very enthusiastically to help Xu Xiuli tidy up. She carried her things, helped her carry her bag, and walked her to the school gate, waving goodbye to her.
Although Xu Xiuli was helped, she wasn’t happy at all.
She looked at He Xiaofang pretending to be worried and said, “Xiaofang, it’s three days off, aren’t you going back?”
He Xiaofang waved her hand nonchalantly, “No.”
Her eldest sister took her child back to live with her parents. Her home was not big enough to live in, and there was no place for her to sleep. If she went back, what would happen to her eldest sister and her nephew?
Xu Xiuli took Jiang Ning’s hand, saying, “Ning Ning, aren’t you going home?”
Jiang Ning smiled and said nothing.
Seeing that she didn’t speak, Xu Xiuli didn’t force her. She just smiled and said coquettishly to Jiang Ning, “Ning Ning, when I come back, I will bring you something delicious.”
Xu Xiuli and He Xiaofang started calling Jiang Ning’s nickname.
Xu Xiuli’s voice was originally soft and thin, so she called Jiang Ning’s nickname in a coquettish tone, just like a shy girl acting coquettishly with her boyfriend. He Xiaofang was so angry that she threw away her luggage to the roof of the minibus and said, “Hurry up, the driver is rushing you.”
Xu Xiuli reluctantly held Jiang Ning’s hand until she got into the bus, then reluctantly let go. Angrily, He Xiaofang grabbed Jiang Ning’s hand and dragged her to the school, “Let’s go, let’s go.”
The school’s mini buses were all very early. The ones closer to the school left around six o’clock, and the ones farther away waited at the school gate at four or five o’clock in the morning. That way they could get back to school after sending the students home to pick up a morning passenger.
Jiang Ning had breakfast and went to the Internet cafe.
Wang Yong had been waiting for Jiang Ning at the entrance of the alley. Knowing that Jiang Ning might have had breakfast at school, he gave her a glass of soy milk. After the 12,000 words were completed which she sent to the magazine’s email, it was already past nine o’clock. Wang Yong hurriedly reminded her that the royalties from Wuxia Magazine had been paid.
Wang Yong had been waiting for the royalties for a long time. He came to Wucheng on a business trip for a month. Although the travel expenses could be reimbursed, they were not paid in advance. They would be paid at the end of the month, along with salary and bonuses.
He received a total of 600 yuan in salary and bonus that month, 300 yuan of which was his salary after becoming a full-time employee, 60 yuan for travel expenses, and the rest were all bonuses he received after he brought in Jiang Ning as an author.
His one-month bonus alone was almost as much as the one-month salary of his employed classmates.
After all, the monthly salary of his employed classmates was only 280 yuan.
Jiang Ning had been focusing on the monthly exams during that period, so she had forgotten about the publishing fee. After all, she was not a student who had just graduated from middle school and entered high school. She had not touched a textbook in so many years and had already forgotten a lot. She needed to spend a lot of time reviewing before she could remember the knowledge she had learned.
There was a bank at the gate of their school. After she came out of the Internet cafe, she went straight to the bank.
The bank at the school gate was very small, with just a facade room and two windows inside. It mainly served students from Wuzhong No. 1 High School and Middle School. There were several other banks nearby, all not far away.
