Chapter 130: Going to the Vegetable Market Together
"Does a boss need a reason to fire an employee?" he said calmly.
Jiang Man looked at Su Heng, a little surprised by his answer, "But I don't think you are the kind of boss who would fire employees for no reason."
Su Heng raised the corner of his mouth, looking at her with a hint of amusement in his eyes, and his expression softened a lot. "So, you think quite highly of me as your boss."
"So, can you tell me why?"
Su Heng lowered his eyes, "Your sister knows it very well."
There are some things he didn't tell her because he didn't want to deprive her of her innocence and kindness. Moreover, she has always valued family affection. If she knew what her sister had done, it would be difficult for her to accept it.
Seeing that he obviously didn't want to say it, Jiang Man frowned and said, "Although I don't know the reason, she has always performed well at work and is also studying hard."
She pursed her lips, struggled for a moment, and her voice became even deeper. "Even if she really made a mistake, can you give her a chance first? Just think of it as me owing you a favor."
Su Heng looked at her with a sharp gaze. Jiang Man lowered her head, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "I know I shouldn't ask this, but I've never seen Xiaolu take something so seriously."
Su Heng was silent for a moment and said, "Let her come to work."
"Really?" Jiang Man was surprised and delighted.
Su Heng seemed to be irritated by her, his expression darkening. "But please tell her that if I find her doing something she shouldn't do again, it won't be as simple as firing her."
Although Jiang Man was full of doubts, being happy was the most important thing at the moment, so he nodded quickly: "I will supervise her well!"
He spoke without emotion: "Go out to work."
"Thank you, Mr. Su!"
After Jiang Man hung up the phone, he immediately dialed his sister's number.
"Really?! That's great!" Jiang Lu's cheers almost broke through the microphone on the other end of the phone. "Oh, right! I have to go buy a new set of clothes and come back with a brand new look!"
Hearing the busy tone coming from the other end of the phone, Jiang Man was stunned for a moment, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
As it was almost time to get off work, Jiang Man packed up his things and prepared to go to the hospital. He called his mother first.
"Mom, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll bring it to you."
"Haha, no need. Your dad and I have been discharged from the hospital and are at home now."
"Discharged from the hospital?" Jiang Man asked in surprise, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"
"Your father insisted on being discharged from the hospital. I had no choice but to go to the doctor to complete the formalities. Unexpectedly, Mr. Su sent someone to pick us up and even hired a senior nurse for us."
Jiang Man was even more surprised. Su Heng didn't tell her these things?
My mother praised him again, "Mr. Su is so thoughtful. I don't know how to thank him! Manman, you must work hard and repay him!"
"I know what's going on, Mom. I'd better go over and check on you guys."
"No need, it would take hours to go back and forth! I'm at home, so don't worry about your dad."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Man felt mixed emotions.
She felt warmed by Su Heng's thoughtful behavior, but at the same time, she was flustered and didn't dare to face it.
No matter what, she was very grateful for everything he had done for her parents and wanted to find an opportunity to thank him properly. After much deliberation, she decided to cook for him and invite him to dinner at her home.
Having made up his mind, Jiang Man went straight to the 28th floor as soon as he got off work.
Sure enough, Su Heng was still there, sitting at his desk, carefully reviewing documents. He looked up at her and saw her standing there awkwardly, looking like she had nothing to say.
He put down his pen and glanced at her. "If it's about your parents, then there's no need to thank me. To me, it's just a small favor, not worthy of anyone's gratitude."
Having said that, Jiang Man didn't think so in his heart.
"You said you weren't doing charity, and besides, there's no reason for me to accept it with a clear conscience. So..." She avoided his gaze, "I want to treat you to dinner."
He raised his eyebrows, and she coughed uncomfortably: "I'll cook." After saying that, she felt uneasy, afraid that he would refuse, which would be so embarrassing!
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and without hesitation, he said, "Okay."
He closed the file, stood up, and said, "Let's go."
Jiang Man was stunned, "I'm going to buy groceries now."
"Together." Su Heng looked at her: "Any questions?"
Jiang Man smiled awkwardly, "No problem."
He turned his head and the expression on his face became neither funny nor sad.
It’s really hard to imagine the scene of Su Heng going to buy groceries with her!
The vegetable market was bustling with people, and Jiang Man brought Su Heng here.
Su Heng frowned slightly, obviously not used to this environment.
Jiang Man turned his head and saw his awkward look, and teased, "Why don't you go wait for me in the car?"
Su Heng glanced at her sideways and said, "No need."
The place was filled with various smells, and they were not pleasant. Jiang Man looked back at him with a questioning look in his eyes, "What do you want to eat?"
Su Heng looked around, lacking interest. "Whatever."
"Oh." Jiang Man nodded and found Su Heng's uncomfortable expression very interesting.
She pulled Su Heng mischievously and walked towards the depths of the vegetable market.
The vegetable vendors were all greeting each other.
"Xiaoman, is this your husband? He's so considerate and even accompanies you to buy groceries." Jiang Man stopped in front of a vegetable stall and asked the enthusiastic aunt.
"No..." Jiang Man was about to deny it.
Su Heng nodded politely to the aunt, "Hello."
Jiang Man was stunned for a moment and turned to look at him.
Su Heng looked at the vegetables in front of the stall and randomly picked a few and put them into a plastic bag.
Jiang Man's eyes widened. Those dishes were not very good. She quickly grabbed his hand.
Su Heng looked up at her and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Man smiled awkwardly, but was too embarrassed to say that the food was not fresh in front of the aunt.
"It's okay, it's okay." She laughed dryly, took the bag from Su Heng's hand, lowered her head, and whispered, "Let me choose."
Su Heng raised his eyebrows, clapped his hands, and let her take over.
Jiang Man carefully selected a few vegetables and handed them to the stall owner.
"Xiaoman, the total is four dollars and thirty cents." The aunt packed the dishes and handed them to Jiang Man.
Jiang Man carefully counted the change and said, "Auntie, I come here often. Can you give me a shave of these three cents?"
"No problem!" The aunt smiled kindly and took the money.
Su Heng watched quietly from the side and asked in a low voice, "Just for thirty cents?"
Jiang glanced at him knowingly and said, "You rich kids don't understand the hardships of ordinary people. These three cents can be put to good use."
"Yeah." Su Heng did not argue. He seemed to be infected by the pride between her brows, as if saving these thirty cents was a big thing worth celebrating.
