Chapter 8

"By the way, it's not much worse than my classmates who got into college. They used to have better grades than me."

"It seems that my luck hasn't always been bad, it's slowly getting better."

"I must go have a good meal tomorrow to celebrate. Mom and Dad, I'll also burn some paper for you. My daughter is now a white-collar worker and not considered poor anymore."

...

"Why did you all leave? I miss you so much."she said, and then she cried. After only crying for a short while, she wiped away her tears and laid in bed lost in thought.

She remembered the situation of today's meeting. She had not yet had the opportunity or qualification to speak at such a meeting. But when she thought of Beck and the harsh words he had left behind, she felt a vague sense of unease.

She suddenly remembered that the marketing department had mentioned that Beck graduated from Columbia University in the United States.

Columbia University, which was also one of her dream universities, flashed through her mind. With a thought in her mind, Summer Mu got up and went to the computer to open Facebook.

"Monkey, are you there?"

Monkey was one of her high school classmates, currently studying in New York City, where Columbia University was located.

It wasn't until almost midnight that the monkey on the other side of the ocean went online and said, "Yes, old leader, why did you think of contacting me today? Is there anything I can do?"

Summer Mu smiled slightly and replied, "If it's okay, I can't contact you. How have you been lately?"

Monkey: "Great, you know me, I can grow strong anywhere."

"Haha, good job! I have something to ask you about. His name is Beck and graduated from Columbia University."

Monkey: "Don't you know... who's in the same class as us."

"Should be several terms older than us."

 "Although I don't know each other, since the class monitor has a request, I will definitely go through fire and water to find out. Don't worry, we are all in the community, and I also have friends at Columbia University. I will go and ask first."

Summer Mu: "Thank you, thank you!" She sent a big smile again.

After a while, the monkey replied, "Class monitor, how are you doing now?"

Summer Mu also paused for a few seconds before answering, "It's pretty good."

The monkey immediately sent a dancing little person over, and Summer Mu couldn't help but laugh as she watched.

The next day, Summer Mu was officially transferred to the marketing department.

In fact, the work location was changed from downstairs to upstairs, but the content was completely different. A tidy and peaceful office, where everyone was busy in front of their computer, attending meetings, running to supermarkets and suppliers, and everything was organized and orderly.

The manager briefly introduced Summer Mu to everyone and asked her to work with an older sister. The elder sister assigned her simple tasks of organizing and copying. Summer Mu was humble, diligent, and obedient, with a sweet mouth but not flattery. Her speech was also witty. After spending a day together, not only the older sister, but also other colleagues found this new girl quite lively, without the clumsiness of some salespeople, and quite likable.

In the evening, the staff member Summer Mu finished work on time. Today, it's necessary to invite Claire to have a tough meal. Two girls took a bus and arrived at a night market by the river. They ordered a lot of barbecue and even drank beer. Finally, the two of them ate until they were plump and round, leaning side by side on the riverbank, gazing at the stars.

"Hello... "Claire looked at Summer Mu with a sideways glance," To be honest, how much has your salary increased now?"

"Adding up... "Summer Mu chuckled," it's doubled compared to before."

"Wow! "Exclaimed Claire, striking her in the face with a heavy punch." Call for it! Why did you say it out loud?"
