Rebirth and making money first

Zhang Jing didn't want to talk to A-Long anymore, planning to take a break to visit her old landlord. The old lady was overjoyed when she received the call and invited Zhang Jing over for lunch. Considering the old lady's diabetes, Zhang Jing went to a specialty store and bought some noodles, biscuits, and other foods suitable for diabetics, and also brought a bunch of bananas.

While the old landlord happily greeted Zhang Jing, he also complained about her extravagant spending. He also said that she was old and couldn't eat so much. Her son nodded at Zhang Jing, said a few words, and left. Zhang Jing, believing that it was not embarrassing for her but for others, pretended not to know that he was deliberately avoiding her.

The old lady kept her word and told Zhang Jing that she had bought roast goose as an extra dish. When Zhang Jing walked in, the nanny was busy cooking in the kitchen. Seeing Zhang Jing coming, the old landlord hurriedly asked her to sit down and asked with a smile: "Ah Jing, what do you think of the nanny now?"

Zhang Jing smiled and replied, "It looks pretty good. By the way, how many nannies have you changed?"

The old landlord sighed and said with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Alas! I am old and annoying. Ah Jing, what do you think I should do? I have such a hard time..."

As he spoke, the old landlord's eyes gradually became moist, and he wiped his eyes and was about to cry.

Zhang Jing panicked upon seeing this and quickly comforted her, "Oh, grandma, don't say that! I think you're fine. Don't be too sad."

The old landlord wiped away her tears and continued to complain, "Ah Jing, Grandma has taken care of herself all her life. Now that she's old and in poor health, she has to hire a nanny to help. But these nannies are more unreliable than the other. They either steal things or are lazy. Grandma is really fed up with it!"

Zhang Jing looked at the old landlord with heartache and said softly, "Grandma, don't be too sad. Maybe you're just unlucky and met some bad nannies. When you look for nannies next time, you can learn more about their background and reputation, so that you can find a more suitable one."

The old landlord nodded and shook Zhang Jing's hand gratefully. "Jing, you understand my heart the best. I know you've always cared about me. I feel very warm having you around."

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Grandma, don't worry. I will come to visit you often. If you need any help or advice, you can always tell me."

At that moment, the nanny brought out a sumptuous meal, interrupting their conversation. Zhang Jing quickly helped set the table, then enjoyed dinner with the landlord. Despite many unpleasant things in life, at this moment, they were in each other's company and felt the warmth of home.

Speaking of children, the old landlord sighed, and Zhang Jing quickly comforted him, "Don't be like this, be cheerful. There are some things we should just turn a blind eye to, and don't argue with your children." The old landlord nodded in agreement, and continued, "Yes, that's how grandma took pleasure in hardship, otherwise she would have died long ago. If it weren't for this, you might not see me next time you come." Hearing this, Zhang Jing quickly said, "Pfft, pfft, don't talk nonsense! I'll say it again after spitting, you're going to live to be over a hundred years old. I'll come to visit you often when I have time."

The old lady smiled immediately after hearing this and asked, "Do you mean what you say?" Zhang Jing nodded firmly and replied, "It's true, it's true. Just wait and see if you don't believe me." The old lady was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. "That's great! Come back next time and I'll treat you to a meal. You don't need to bring anything."

During dinner, the landlord thought of Zhang Jing's relatives and asked, "Jing, has that relative of yours come to see you lately?" Zhang Jing was confused, and after a long while, she finally remembered it was her aunt's sister. It turned out she'd been tired from shopping and had come to ask for water and to visit her grandmother. Fate can be so strange. The landlord said she sometimes came to chat with him about Zhang Jing's affairs, and they found much in common. Especially on the topic of not getting married at an older age, Zhang Jing smiled helplessly.

After bidding farewell to the old landlord, it was clear that both of them were looking forward to their next meeting. Zhang Jing walked a long way out when she looked back and saw the old landlord still standing there. Thinking back to when she first rented the apartment, the old landlord reclining in a recliner facing her husband's portrait, listening to the pendulum, she couldn't help but sigh, "People still need to interact with others."

Before I even got in the car, I received a call from an old colleague. He asked where Zhang Jing was and asked her to meet up. Zhang Jing knew he worked in insurance and that the meeting must be about selling insurance. She immediately said, "I don't have the money to buy your insurance!"

Wang Ping laughed and said, "I don't sell insurance. We are old friends and we haven't seen each other for a long time. It's nice to meet each other, and I can report to you about my work during this period. After all, I can do this job thanks to you. If I hadn't practiced talking with you in the past, I would definitely not have grown so fast!"

Zhang Jing admired Wang Ping's ability to make people happy with his words, so she agreed to meet him at his home.

Wang Ping was Zhang Jing's manager back then, and also the husband of her good friend Feng Chunxiang. The story of their relationship is truly a tale of two different people.

Zhang Jing and Feng Chunxiang got along well, thanks to one being a salesperson and the other a paging desk supervisor. A white girl from Northeast China, a black girl from Hainan, but that didn't stop them from becoming close colleagues. Plus, their dorms were on the same floor.

The twist was that Wang Ping joined the company; the manager had recruited him from the job market. He was short, stocky, and "looked like a melon," as most of the women at the paging desk privately described him. He was from Shaanxi and took his marriage seriously, considering between Zhang Jing and Feng Chunxiang. Unfortunately, neither of them was interested in him, especially Zhang Jing, who was obsessed with looks.

Later, Feng Chunxiang cooked mung bean soup in her dormitory using a pressure cooker. After it was done, she covered the lid with cold water and asked Wang Ping to open the pot. Wang Ping's arm was burned by the heat, and the heat prevented a bandage. It was a horrific sight, and Feng Chunxiang, feeling guilty, took care of him, feeding him, washing him, and Wang Ping took the opportunity to ask her out. Feng Chunxiang thought about it and agreed.

After Zhang Jing found out, she asked Ah Xiang, "Did Wang Ping want to help you?" She didn't give up until Feng Chunxiang said she was willing and no one forced her. But Zhang Jing was still upset, believing that Wang Ping, a low-class man, was not worthy of Ah Xiang.

When Wang Ping first arrived at the company, he was completely destitute. He drank water from the construction site and secretly sold his former boss's scrap newspapers to buy steamed buns before the manager hired him. He later recounted that he had only eaten once in three days. He immediately helped Zhang Jing move into her dorm. Zhang Jing was busy out, so she had Saturdays and Sundays off. She asked someone to take him out for fast food and even lent him 50 yuan to keep him going until work.

Strictly speaking, Wang Ping was someone Zhang Jing needed to help, but he also wanted to trick Zhang Jing.

Wang Ping colluded with sales staff, exploiting loopholes in company regulations to rake in profits. Zhang Jing, the sales manager, discovered the situation and confronted Wang Ping. Wang Ping tried to implicate Zhang Jing, arguing that everyone was involved and that if they were caught, the law wouldn't hold everyone responsible. Furthermore, Zhang Jing and the others were relatives of company leaders, so no one would deny them face.

Zhang Jing simply asked Wang Ping, "Does Feng Chunxiang know about this?" Wang Ping replied, "I'm afraid she'll worry, so I'm keeping it a secret." Zhang Jing felt unhappy when she heard this. Why should she be taking the risk while Ah Xiang is being protected? At that moment, Zhang Jing had to admit that she was jealous, and it had nothing to do with love.

Zhang Jing verbally reported Wang Ping to the manager, and the entire group was summoned to the police station for questioning. All the embezzled money was turned over, and Wang Ping was fired and ordered to pay back the money. The manager, distraught, demanded that Wang Ping pay double the amount, refusing to release him unless the police released him.

In the end, Ah Xiang finally redeemed Wang Ping by taking out her savings, a true testament to the true nature of love in times of adversity. The two quickly married, with Ah Xiang supporting the family while Wang Ping took a job as an insurance salesperson. Later, the company split, and Zhang Jing and Ah Xiang were assigned to separate companies, gradually losing contact. For a long time, no one knew the whistleblower was Zhang Jing, whose innocent facade was flawless.

They must have sold no policies yet, so they're treating Zhang Jing as a potential client. In her previous life, Zhang Jing had bought eight insurance policies, but after her rebirth, there was still no insurance policy.

It's time to meet up with an "old friend". I wonder if we can still chat.
