Lin Feng looked at the cracked compass, feeling heartbroken.
"Senior brother, my compass is broken, give a new one when we get back!"
Bao Lei glanced at his junior’s compass, "Sure, how long have you been using that compass? I told you to get a new one ages ago, but you didn’t. It’s really not durable."
Lin Feng looked at his senior with tears, "Is it that I don’t want to change? Clearly, I just don’t have the money to replace it!"
Bao Lei: .....
"When we get back, I’ll get you a new outfit from head to toe!"
Upon hearing his senior brother’s generosity, Lin Feng’s eyes imdiately lit up, "Thank you, senior brother!"
Bao Lei took out his own compass from his pocket and threw it to Lin Feng, "Let’s go, hurry and et up with the others. That thing’s really tough to handle, we have to think of a way to deal with it..."
Lin Feng deftly caught his senior’s compass. Looking at the latest model, he carefully fiddled with it. It felt so handy, much better than his!

Sea City
Just after breakfast, Lin Xiaoyan received a call from Ai Lin, whom she hadn’t heard from in quite a while.
This was a colleague from the job she found after graduation.
A very kind elder sister, Sister Lin took good care of her when she worked at the company.
I wonder what’s the matter with Sister Lin calling her?
"Hello, Sister Lin."
Lin Xiaoyan answered the call.
"Xiao Lin, long ti no see, how have you been lately?"
Ai Lin’s voice ca through the phone.
Lin Xiaoyan smiled, "I’m doing well. How about you, Sister Lin?"
"Sa as always. I was just chatting and suddenly thought of you. It’s been too long since we last connected, so I thought I’d give you a call.
I wanted to check how you are doing recently.
The company has started recruiting again these couple of days, and I thought of you..."
Lin Xiaoyan felt warm inside after hearing Sister Lin’s words. She was very happy Sister Lin thought of her.
"Thank you, Sister Lin, for thinking of , but I have a job now."
Ai Lin was happy for Lin Xiaoyan when she said she had a job.
"Xiao Lin, are you still in Sea City?"
"Yes, I am, I’m in Sea City."
Thinking of the care Sister Lin gave her during work, Lin Xiaoyan said, "Sister Lin, when do you have ti? I’d like to treat you to a al since it’s been a while since we last t."
Ai Lin imdiately agreed when she heard this.
"Sure, how about tonight..."
The two quickly arranged a ti and place and then ended the call.
After hanging up, Ai Lin continued working.
Soone in the sa office couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, "Ai Lin, is Xiao Lin coming to apply? She worked here last year, and her work abilities were quite impressive."
Ai Lin smiled, "Oh, Xiao Lin has a job, she’s not applying."
In the corner, Susan heard this and quickly said, "I saw Lin Xiaoyan last year working in a milk tea shop. I wonder if she’s still there.
I heard working in a milk tea shop is exhausting, standing all day and constantly making tea, it’s really tough."
After hearing what Susan said, everyone started discussing.
"Working in a milk tea shop is indeed tiring. My niece worked there during sumr break. She cried every day when she just started, saying it’s too hard..."
"And the salary at milk tea shops isn’t high either."
"Eh, not necessarily. My classmate’s wife works at a milk tea shop, and her salary isn’t low!"
"How much is ’not low’?"
"Around six thousand a month."
"Whoa, that’s not bad! Better than our lousy job here!"
"Not only is their salary higher than ours, but the benefits are better too!
Do you know what gifts they get for New Year’s..."
...
Everyone’s attention shifted. Ai Lin glanced at Susan, who was looking smug, her eyes deepening.
She disliked people like this the most, thinking that others couldn’t see through their little tricks.
Little did she know, everyone sitting there was an old fox.
This young lady had been working in the company for so long but was still unaware of being duped.
As it was nearing the end of the workday, Ai Lin finished her work early, packed up, and sent a ssage to her boyfriend saying she wouldn’t be ho for dinner tonight.
Her boyfriend replied imdiately, asking where she was going.
Seeing her boyfriend’s reply, Ai Lin smiled. Ever since she almost got into trouble last year, he had been sticking by her side.
Whenever he had to go on a business trip, he made arrangents for her before leaving.
"It’s off work ti now!"
As the workday ended, everyone gradually packed up and left.
Ai Lin picked up her bag to leave, just as she received a call from Lin Xiaoyan.
"Hello, Xiao Lin."
By now, Lin Xiaoyan was already downstairs at the company. Looking at the company’s entrance, she said to Sister Lin, "Sister Lin, I’m already at the entrance; you can just co down."
After hearing this, Ai Lin hurriedly said, "Okay, I’ll co down now."
"No rush."
After hanging up, Ai Lin quickly headed for the elevator.
Susan overheard Ai Lin’s conversation and imdiately thought it must be Lin Xiaoyan.
She caught up with Ai Lin, "Sister Lin, did Lin Xiaoyan co by?"
Ai Lin didn’t want to pay attention to Susan, but everyone waiting for the elevator was from the sa departnt.
A few people who overheard Susan’s words curiously looked over.
Keeping a straight face, Ai Lin looked at Susan, "Why are you asking? If I recall, your relationship with Xiao Lin wasn’t good when she left."
Susan paused, but her skin was always thick, pretending not to hear Ai Lin’s insinuations.
"Oh, well, we did work together for a while, and I haven’t seen her in a long ti either."
The elevator arrived, and Ai Lin walked right in.
Seeing Ai Lin ignoring her, Susan stopped talking.
However, after exiting the elevator, Susan kept following Ai Lin.
Lin Xiaoyan waited by getting out of the car when she saw people coming out.
Xiao Bo didn’t co; Nan Xi drove her.
Upon seeing Sister Lin, Lin Xiaoyan raised her hand and shouted loudly.
"Sister Lin!"
Lin Xiaoyan’s voice caught the attention of many at the entrance.
Following the voice, Ai Lin almost didn’t recognize her.
"Xiao... Xiao Lin?!"
Ai Lin looked at Lin Xiaoyan in shock.
Lin Xiaoyan nodded with a smile, "It’s , Sister Lin."
Ai Lin quickly walked over to Lin Xiaoyan, looking at her in delight.
"Oh my gosh, Xiao Lin, if you hadn’t called out to , I definitely wouldn’t have recognized you!
You’ve changed so much!"
Smiling brightly, Lin Xiaoyan said, "Co on, let’s talk in the car."
She opened the car door for Sister Lin to get in.
Looking at the car in front, Ai Lin hesitated, "Xiao Lin, we’re just having a casual al. Why rent such an expensive car?"
Lin Xiaoyan was taken aback for a mont, then chuckled, "Don’t worry, Sister Lin, I didn’t rent it. Just get in."
The two quickly got into the car and drove away.
Susan, standing at the entrance, watched the luxurious car drive off, stunned.
Did... did Lin Xiaoyan make it big?!!!
"Was that Xiao Lin just now?"
A colleague’s puzzled voice ca from behind.
"She does look a bit like her. This young girl has changed a lot, becoming prettier and more confident."
