Chapter 820: Falling in Love

eader, I have my own understanding. As for your company matters and personal affairs, I can't interfere or offer help with those..."She thought she would be willful and confront him directly, getting...Fang Mei's encounter with Henry was purely coincidental. Henry was a French orphan who had been adopted by a wealthy couple. However, the couple were mentally disturbed and enjoyed scaring young Henry, taking pleasure in his frightened screams.

Henry didn't like going back home after he grew up and went to college. He wandered around all day, just like a homeless person.

She went to France for her studies and was in the same class as Henry. At first, she didn't pay much attention to him. Back then, she was juggling school and part-time work in France, leading a tight and busy life. She could only afford a tiny apartment and lived frugally, counting every penny.

It was just a rainy night. A heavy downpour came that evening.

When Fang Mei returned to her small rented apartment from work, she was drenched to the bone. The rainwater was icy cold, it was really creepy. But when she discovered a man squatting at her apartment door, she was startled. The surrounding lights were not very bright, and she was afraid that he might be a bad guy. She hesitated whether to call the police.

"Don't call the police, I'm just sheltering from the rain at your doorstep." He didn't even raise his head, seeming to sense her nervousness.

He seemed reluctant to cause any trouble and even shifted his position to let her open the door.

Just when she was still worrying, he actually opened his mouth to ask for food.

"Fang Mei, I'm hungry. Could you give me something to eat"

She was taken aback for a moment, “You know me”

When Henry lifted his face, she realized it was her classmate.

"I'm really hungry, I haven't eaten in days," he said, tilting his head up with a shy smile, his blue eyes fixed on hers.

He was dressed in disarray, but his eyes were so bright. His smile was shy, yet it carried a naive and innocent charm.

Fang Mei softened in that instant. She let him into the house, made him a hot coffee, and brought him some dry bread. The man even complained about the food at her place being bad, took over the situation, went into the kitchen and started cooking, and even fried an egg for her.

Henry cooks much better than she does.

Two people sat opposite each other at a small wooden table, eating the most ordinary fried eggs. Henry's clothes were shabby, but somehow his smile was always full of sunshine, as if he never knew sorrow. Just looking at his smile made you want to smile too.

After this, Henry became dependent on her.

The once impoverished and disheveled boy has become a big star.

Fang Mei was looking at a mobile news article about a new show promotion. It turned out Henry really decided to work in China and had already signed with a very famous media company in the city.

She sincerely hopes their love marathon will soon reach the finish line, so they can get married, have a baby, and Henry won't have to fly back and forth for work all the time.

For their future, Fang Mei felt she should also try to find a job.

After all, in the 21st century, women can't rely solely on men to make money. Women should strive for economic independence.

Before that, she worked for many years at a local restaurant company in France. She also has some management experience. She was thinking of looking for a few well-known catering companies near the city to work for, but they all only wanted her to bus tables.

"You have no connections and you're not a recent graduate, it's going to be very difficult to get into those big companies."

Song Mengmeng called to ask about her work situation. Fang Mei was worried, hitting a wall everywhere she went, and some places even wouldn't give her an interview opportunity.

"This really made me realize how difficult it can be for sea turtles to find jobs even when they return home."

"Now, returnees (those who have studied abroad and returned to China) are no longer valuable in China."

Song Mengmeng thought for a moment, "Why don't I recommend you go work as a guest room manager at a hotel There's one hotel I know pretty well, and the hotel and restaurant service seems to be about the same..."

"The hotel's rooms manager, my previous job as a restaurant manager, is totally different."

Fang Mei sighed, "Meng Meng, you really don't have any work experience at all. I envy you so much."

Song Mengmeng got married to Sima An right after graduating from university. She didn't need to work and became a wealthy housewife.

"Screw you, you say I have no work experience and you mock me."

Song Mengmeng is still as straightforward and blunt as ever.

"However, the hotel's room manager seemed quite embarrassed, especially when serving wealthy people. Once I saw a middle-aged man's wife rush over, without saying a word, she slapped the room manager in the face and called her a vixen because her husband had chatted with the room manager for too long."

After some thought, I said, “Fang Mei, why don’t you change careers You've spent so long in France, you could easily become a French translator. Why bother serving dishes”

"Working in the service industry is the most troublesome, especially serving wealthy people. You get taken advantage of and can't complain, and if you get scolded, you can't fight back."

"How about I get Sima An a clerical job"

Song Mengmeng, this spendthrift socialite, really has no idea what kind of job is both easy and lucrative. However, her nominal husband seems to do quite well in various fields.

Fang Mei, upon hearing that Sima An was going to introduce her to the work, felt a headache coming on. She repeatedly refused, saying, "No need, no need."

"I'll figure something out."

It was another bright morning, Fang Mei got up and nervously checked her computer email again. She had already sent dozens of resumes, but after three or four days, there wasn't a single reply.

"It's so hard to find a job without connections, do I really have to wait tables"

She sank into the small sofa and sighed.

Before, I studied and worked in France alone. Because I was too busy, I didn't have time to feel sad. But after suddenly returning home, I found life to be too quiet and empty. My heart felt very lonely, and I especially wanted to find a place to belong.

"There is only enough money left to pay for three months' rent." I checked the balance on my card.

At that moment, the faint click of a key turning in the lock made her heart skip a beat. She knew it was Henry; he always opened doors so quietly.

"Surprise!"

"Honey, I'm home!"

Henry threw open the door, bouncing out like a grand entrance from Santa Claus himself, making a big silly face at her, hands holding a large pink present.red the crocodile's left forelimb with a fireball, breaking its claw.
