She never mentioned buying a computer to me, wanting to protect my pride. However, her roommates all had Apple computers, while she was still using an old one. That computer was very slow; it took five minutes to boot up, and running large software was unimaginable. I wanted to buy her a good computer so that she could use it smoothly and study comfortably.
Sister Ma saw how hard I was working and how perceptive I was, so she introduced me to more business opportunities. " Xiao Li, a friend of mine runs a company, and they need to make a promotional video. I recommended you to him; do a good job."
"Thank you, Sister Ma." I didn't expect Sister Ma to help me like this. Sister Ma is indeed a woman of refined taste. She smokes, but only cigarettes with 5 milligrams of tar. She drinks, but only red wine. Although she dresses flamboyantly, she never appears vulgar. Sister Ma is a very charming woman.
As Sister Ma introduced me to more business opportunities, my income began to rise. A month later, I bought a computer and gave it to Chen Qian. "Qianqian, I've earned some money and bought you a computer."
"Now you can use this computer for your homework." Chen Qian looked at me with tears glistening in her eyes. "Wei Gang, this is money you've worked hard for; I can't accept it."
"Keep it for yourself."
"You need the computer more than I do."
I smiled and said, "I still have money; you can use it first."
"When I need it, you can lend it to me."
Chen Qian took the computer with a touched expression.
Girls love beauty, and Chen Qian is no exception. She spends a lot of time on skincare every day, so her skin is great. But I can't let her give up her skincare routine just because the computer is not working well. I decided to buy her a high-spec computer within two months! However, I definitely couldn't save up that much money myself. My roommate Lao Yu said he could lend me money. "But it will have interest, calculated at an annual rate of 5%." "Sure, no problem." So, I started taking on various part-time jobs—handing out flyers, serving food, being part of the atmosphere group... I did anything that could make money. After a month and a half, I saved up 2800 yuan. But I was still far from the 6888 yuan needed. Just when I was worried about the computer situation, I met Sister Ma. She also transferred me 6000 yuan.
With my newly purchased computer, I walked into the library. “Chen Qian, I have a gift for you.” “What gift?” I placed the computer in front of her. “A laptop?” “Where did you get the money?” I made up a story: “I recently met an investor who really appreciates my photography skills and plans to hire me for long-term projects.”
"He gave me 6,000 yuan to buy a good computer for work in the future."
Chen Qian listened and believed it, reminding me, "You must work hard and not let him down."
I nodded, "Yes, you focus on preparing for the competition. Once you win an award, we can travel to Xiamen together."
Chen Qian leaned on my shoulder and smiled, "We don't have to go to Xiamen; being with you makes me happy even if we just go to Central Park."
Sister Ma arranged another job for me.
This job was quite absurd; it involved accompanying people to eat, drink, and play, while occasionally taking a few photos. She said there was no need for post-editing and that I shouldn't appear in the shots—only my hands could be in the frame.
Sister Ma first took me to a Cantonese restaurant for dim sum—shrimp dumplings, rice noodle rolls, steamed pork ribs in black bean sauce...
After dim sum, we went to a seafood buffet restaurant for a lavish lunch.
In the afternoon, we visited a star-rated hotel and enjoyed a leisurely afternoon tea.
In the evening, Sister Ma took me to a trendy rooftop bar.
