After Tong Mengdi returned from her business trip, she also set aside some time to accompany Tong Mengya. Considering that He Yao had taken care of her sister for the past few days, Tong Mengdi wanted to invite He Yao to a meal as a token of gratitude. On Friday evening, the employees left one after another, but Tong Mengdi was still sitting at her desk. It was not until He Yao came out of his office that Tong Mengdi approached him, saying that she was very grateful for his care of Tong Mengya these days and intended to treat him to a meal.

At first, He Yao declined because he thought they were friends and Tong Mengdi didn't really need to be so polite. However, Tong Mengdi told him that he had to go. If he didn't, she would feel embarrassed to trouble him next time she had something. Hearing Tong Mengdi's words, He Yao was left speechless and had to agree.

The two picked up Tong Mengya, found a fairly nice place, and started having dinner. After ordering some food, Tong Mengdi told Tong Mengya to eat by herself and then started chatting with He Yao.

"This President Zhao claims to be a friend of the chairman. He made me wait for two hours, and not only that, he didn't even offer me a cup of coffee."

"That's how it is when you're on a business trip. Besides, he's a difficult person to deal with," He Yao said.

Tong Mengdi then asked, "You know him?"

"The last time he came to the company, the chairman asked me to pick him up. And the result... I can only say that he's a real oddball. I don't understand how the chairman has such a friend."

"What kind of friends are they? People like them only care about interests."

"That's true."

"Who are you guys talking about? I don't understand," Tong Mengya suddenly asked.

"Just eat your food. We're talking about work," Tong Mengdi said.

"You're just complaining about someone. It's kind of interesting. And handsome guy, you usually don't talk much, why can you talk so much with my sister?"

"I told you, we're discussing work matters. Do you think you'd understand if I told you?"

Although Tong Mengya was eager to join the conversation between He Yao and Tong Mengdi, the two of them were very tacit. Whenever Tong Mengya spoke, neither of them would respond to her. Tong Mengya even felt like she was invisible, while the two of them seemed like a couple in love.

The meal lasted a long time, and they talked for a long time too. After the meal, the two sisters went home. Although Hu Mingkai was Tong Mengdi's boyfriend, Tong Mengya felt as if her sister liked He Yao. Her feelings towards the two men were completely different. When she was with Hu Mingkai, it felt almost like being with a friend, while when she was with He Yao, the two of them got along very well, as if they could talk forever.

Back home, Tong Mengdi walked into the bedroom to get her pajamas and was about to take a shower. At this time, Tong Mengya heard Tong Mengdi sending a WeChat message to He Yao, telling him that they got home safely.

The next day, after Tong Mengya got up, Tong Mengdi had already prepared breakfast. After washing up, the two sisters started having breakfast. Just then, Tong Mengdi looked at her sister and immediately spoke.

"By the way, prepare your resume, both in paper and electronic versions. He Yao and I have discussed it. Since you don't have much work experience, don't aim too high. Start as a secretary first."

"Sis, you're not going to make me work in your company, are you?" Tong Mengya asked her sister.

Tong Mengdi said, "The secretaries in our company all need three to five years of work experience. Do you have that? Don't worry. He Yao will ask his friend. Be modest and diligent when you get there."

"Sis, Brother He seems like a nice person."

"Whether he's nice or not has nothing to do with you. Anyway, he's doing this for me."

"No, I mean, you two have a good relationship."

Perhaps because she was already tired of explaining this to Hu Mingkai on a regular basis, when Tong Mengdi heard Tong Mengya ask this question, she looked helpless. Tong Mengdi didn't say anything more, just said that she was going to work, told Tong Mengya to stay at home, and said she would be back in the evening. She also said that Hu Mingkai might come back today.

Bored, Tong Mengya could only watch TV at home. Around noon, there was a knock on the door. Tong Mengya opened the door, and just as Tong Mengdi had said, Hu Mingkai was back. Hu Mingkai brought gifts for Tong Mengya and put the things he bought for Tong Mengdi in the fridge. But when he opened the fridge, he found that the things in it had hardly been touched. Some were even bought for the two sisters before his business trip. Even the simplest frozen dumplings hadn't been eaten much. Facing all this, Hu Mingkai immediately asked Tong Mengya.

"Xiaoya, do you and your sister often order takeout? I told your sister not to eat takeout, why doesn't she listen?"

"No, we eat outside," Tong Mengya replied.

Hu Mingkai then said, "You two sisters eat outside every day?"

"Basically my sister does. Sometimes they take me with them too."
