Soon, Murong Yung and Zhou Cui’an were seated again.
Perhaps because Murong Yung had agreed to help, Zhou Cui’an heaved a sigh of relief and cald down. At this mont, she was imnsely grateful to Murong Yung.
“Senior Sister Murong, I really appreciate what you’ve done this ti,” Zhou Cui’an said, looking at Murong Yung as if she were her savior. “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know what to do.”
In fact, to Zhou Cui’an, Murong Yung was indeed like a savior. If Murong Yung hadn’t been willing to help, her future would have been ruined. Murong Yung’s assistance this ti was as crucial as a lifeline to her.
“It’s nothing.” Murong Yung smiled and shook her head. “However, Junior Sister Zhou, I can help you this ti, but if there’s a next ti, I can’t condone such actions.”
Though Murong Yung’s words were stern, Zhou Cui’an was willing to heed them. “Senior Sister Murong, I was acting impulsively this ti. I promise there won’t be a next ti.”
As she spoke, gratitude and admiration filled her eyes as she looked at Murong Yung. “Senior Sister Murong, you’re my benefactor now. Whatever you ask of in the future, even if it’s sothing drastic, I won’t hesitate.”
Of course, she was exaggerating, and she wouldn’t agree to anything illegal. After all, she didn’t want to delve into a life of cri. That was why she had sought Murong Yung’s help today. She felt confident speaking so boldly because she believed Murong Yung wouldn’t make things difficult for her.
“What are you talking about!” Murong Yung laughed, shaking her head. “I’m not that kind of person. However, this should serve as a lesson.”
“I’ll definitely learn from this,” Zhou Cui’an replied, pushing the bank card towards Murong Yung. “Senior Sister Murong, please help return this money to the company. I can’t face my superiors.”
When she had approached Murong Yung, she had already resigned herself to relinquishing this money, as it was not entirely legitimate. Now, seeking Murong Yung’s help, she wanted to ensure the money was returned to the company.
Though it had been her plan all along, parting with the money still caused her pain. She had already envisioned how to spend it, and it would have undoubtedly improved her appearance and lifestyle in the city.
Noticing Zhou Cui’an’s hesitation, Murong Yung’s disdain grew, though she kept a composed expression. “It’s fine. Since I’m allowing you to keep it, then keep it! The company doesn’t need this small amount of money. Since they won’t pursue the matter, they won’t take it back.”
“How can that be!”
Despite her protests, Zhou Cui’an couldn’t tear her eyes away from the bank card. “This is a bribe I received, which doesn’t belong to . I’m just relieved the company won’t investigate further. How can I keep this money?”
Though she sounded noble, she was still tempted. After all, twenty thousand was a significant sum to her. If she kept it, she could buy many things and make her next sester much easier.
However, she didn’t dare to keep it, fearing Murong Yung would see her as greedy. She couldn’t afford for Murong Yung to dislike her, as she owed everything to her.
Murong Yung noticed Zhou Cui’an’s greed but didn’t show her disdain. “It’s fine. Since I said you could keep it, then keep it! Besides, you’re working hard to pay for tuition and living expenses next sester, right? Though it’s not much, it can still ease so of your financial burden.”
Zhou Cui’an couldn’t bring herself to return the money, so she relented under Murong Yung’s persuasion. “I… Then I won’t refuse Senior Sister Murong’s kindness.”
With that, she took the bank card and stowed it in her bag. A smile of relief spread across her face.
After Zhou Cui’an put away the bank card, Murong Yung took a sip of her coffee and asked with a smile, “By the way, Junior Sister Zhou, I’ve been busy lately and forgot to ask. How’s everything at the company? How are you getting along with your colleagues?

Touched by Murong Yung’s concern, Zhou Cui’an replied, “Senior Sister Murong, everything’s going well for .” She hesitated briefly, feeling remorseful. “I’m just sorry I disappointed you.”
“It’s okay. Everyone makes mistakes sotis,” Murong Yung reassured her. “Oh, and are you planning to stay in the capital for the New Year?”
Zhou Cui’an nodded. “The holiday isn’t long, so I’ll stay in the company dorms. It’s a waste of ti and money to travel back and forth.”
Most importantly, she didn’t want to return to her hotown for the New Year.
“Wouldn’t that be lonely?” Murong Yung frowned, then suddenly brightened. “Oh, I’m attending a banquet during the New Year. Would you like to join ? And I’ll introduce you to my friend, Xiao Lingling. She’s my good friend and a student at Capital University. I think you two would get along.”
