Regarding the vegetable vendor's question, Song Tan snorted:
"Talking about money with our own people, huh."
The vendor felt somewhat shamed and annoyed, "Hey, you're not going to let this go, are you? My girl spent so much money on school, learned plenty of good skills, and she even has work experience. Why can't she ask for money?"
He puffed out his chest with pride, "I'll have you know, she won awards for her designs back in school!"
After speaking, he became dejected again, "But it didn't do much good. She passed the written exam at a design institute after graduation, but not the interview. She came back planning to work and continue taking exams, so she joined a big company in Ning City—those guys just know how to bully the newcomers. My girl has been so stressed out at work for two years!"
Having said his piece, he glanced at Song Tan sideways, "If we weren't in this sort of relationship, I wouldn't even mention this issue with my daughter to you!"
Got it.
