The Stars In Your Eyes - Chapter 162
Bai Yutang’s lips curved when he saw his bank account’s statement. This is not the first money he earned from his hard work, but surely to have a monthly salary is nice. It was like a guarantee keeping him safely guarding his mother and his sister financially.
He directly transfers 50% of his salary to his mother and his sister. He called his mother after he transferred the money. His mother asked him with concern, “TangTang, i still have money. Why send money again? Just use it for yourself.”
“Mom, I have enough. You can use the money to eat something nice with RenRen, grandpa, grandma, or buy something for yourself.” Bai Yutang actually feels sad since he can’t give enough money to his mom. 25% of his salary was nothing compared with what his father gave his mother.
“But…” Lu Hua halted her words. She swallows her grief and sadness, then tries to smile. “Okay then, just make sure you have enough money to eat properly. Don’t forget to treat Ah Lu and your friends too.”
“I will. Okay, I need to go back to work, mom. Talk to you later, and take care.” Bai Yutang ended the call.
As a tradition which is common in every work place, Bai Yutang treats his colleagues for lunch. His colleagues were tolerant since they chose a simple restaurant for their lunch. This Chinese restaurant was cheap but tasty.
“Please order what you want, seniors.” Bai Yutang politely gave the menus to Zhong Fan, Yan Qiuyue, Zhu Meng, and his boss, Yao Mingyu.
“Are you sure? I can order anything?” Yan Qiuyue teased him. Bai Yutang replied with a smile, then grinned, “Yes, but please keep your order under 50 yuan.”
“Stingy boy!” Yan Qiuyue scoffed, but her eyes were laughing.
All of them ordered simple food which didn’t drain Bai Yutang’s first salary. After all, Bai Yutang also needs to treat his friends just like his friends treat him when they receive their first salary.
“So how’s the progress with the material for the first floor?” Yao Mingyu asked Zhu Meng. The quiet man groaned, “Boss, can we not talk about work when we eat?”
Yan Qiuyue snorted, “This is why they said don’t eat lunch with your boss. This is your fault, Yutang!”
Zhong Fan adds the oil to the fire, “No wonder you’re still single, boss. All you can think of is work, work, and work.”
“Woah, look at who’s talking. Qiuyue and Yutang are also single.” Yao Mingyu pointed at them.
“On my wedding day, FangFang’s single friends are also coming. Qiuyue and Yutang definitely have to come. I’ll introduce you to good people.” Zhong Fan sincerely boasted about her future wife’s circle.
“What about me?” Yao Mingyu asked.
“I don’t dare.” Zhong Fan waved his hand. “How if you’re not satisfied, or worse, rejected. Then i’m sure i won’t got bonus this year.”
They laughed and then bickering about how good FangFang’s friends look. Zhong Fan’s fiance was working in the video streaming industry. A lot of minor internet celebrity work with her.
Even though Yao Mingyu is their boss, their relationship was pretty good. Yao Mingyu is the type who is strict about work, but does not really care about seniority like other bosses. They could discuss and present their ideas to him, and he will decide whether your personal opinion is worth presenting.
Bai Yutang originally is a quiet person too, so he didn’t say anything, only smile and laugh along with his colleague.
The food is coming, and they start eating. Even though they said they don’t want to talk about work at lunch, they still answer and discuss the project’s progress. If Bai Yutang had lunch with Zhong Fan and Yan Qiuyue without their boss, sometimes his seniors also trash the vendors and the clients who ask for revision all of sudden. But with Yao Mingyu, they still have sensible not to cross that line.
“Yutang, how do you feel after 1 month working here?” Yao Mingyu asked him.
“I thank my seniors who help me to adapt, Mr. Yao. And i also thank you for your guidance.”
“Did you find difficulties? You can ask and discuss with us if you are stuck.” Yao Mingyu actually pleased with this new guy. He works fast and efficiently, somehow the other’s progress also faster since this guy joined them.
“Yes, Mr. Yao, I will.”
Zhong Fan’s chopsticks were busy picking the steamed duck when he commented, “Luckily Yutang had many experiences before, so he adapted faster.”
Yao Mingyu raised his eyebrow, “Oh, I thought you’re a fresh graduate. Where have you worked before?”
Bai Yutang shook his head, “It’s only part time jobs, Mr. Yao. It was when I was still studying.”
“Part time? Where? Can you do a part time job in T uni? Why?”
Bai Yutang then mentioned the project he did for a few firms. “I need the money, Mr. Yao. The part time job was not that difficult, and I only took it when I didn’t have tests or projects.”
It was not polite to ask why someone needs money desperately, all of them know if someone was not desperate they wouldn’t take part time jobs, especially architecture students. Simple part time job might work, but the project and firms Bai Yutang mentioned were not simple at all.
Yao Mingyu now could see why this young man adapted so fast. He gave some suggestions for the current project. What the architect designed and planned sometimes needed adjustment when the material did not suit their requirement. Revision and compromise were necessary.
What Yao Mingyu didn’t understand was, this plain Bai Yutang was clearly using expensive attire. His handphone alone costs more than his monthly salary. And he remembered Bai Yutang also lived in an elite apartment. Why does this man need to do a part time job?
“I remember you say that you lived in the Sun 8 apartment. Is it rented or..?” He decided to ask.
Bai Yutang shook his head, “I live with my friend. He was very kind to let me stay there for free.” After his last experience with bullying, Bai Yutang was very careful to leak his private information to other people he was not close with. It was really just like what his lover used to warn him.
Being honest is not a sin, but we didn’t have to bare ourselves naked in front of strangers. That’s why he says he didn’t have a girlfriend, and didn’t deny when his colleagues thought he was single because of that statement.
“Doctor Jian did not even extort money for water and electricity from you?” Yan Qiuyue asked him. She noticed this last two weeks, Doctor Jian always picks Bai Yutang every Wednesday and politely invites them for dinner. Last Wednesday it was her again and Zhong Fan’s turn.
Who doesn’t like to have free dinner paid by a handsome man? Yan Qiuyue was very aware of her own appearance and did not have any other intention. But still, she enjoys having a pleasant view, pampering her own eyes without feeling guilty, since Doctor Jian is single.
Bai Yutang shook his head again, “No. Jian Ge is really kind.”
“Woah, you stay there for free? Is he your relative?” Zhu Meng didn’t interact much with Bai Yutang personally, so he didn’t know about this fact. Thinking about his rented apartment which cost him 25% of his monthly salary, he feels sour. It will be very nice to have wealthy relatives who want to help you unconditionally. His own relatives were not that rich, and definitely not that kind.
“No, he was my good friend. Jian Ge is basically very kind to everyone.” Bai Yutang pointed out.
“True, he also treated me two times. Is he coming again this Wednesday?” Yan Qiuyue unknowingly raises her hope.
“I don’t know. If he didn’t have anything to do, maybe he will come again.” Bai Yutang didn’t mind his lover treating his colleagues. But after one month busy and neglecting his lover, he also missed having a date with his lover. He doesn’t really want to spend every Wednesday having dinner with his colleagues when his lover picks him up.
In this one month, he tried his best to adapt and do his work well for passing his probation period. He always works over time like his colleagues, and also works on Saturday to catch the steady work pace in the future. Now he works as fast as his other colleagues even though his work portion is still less compared to the three of them.
He already decided this morning to treat his lover for a date this Wednesday, celebrating his first salary. They haven’t seen movies in the cinema for this one month. He missed it.
He also plans to play that devil card game again after their date. He could sense his lover always stare at him hungrily every day, just like a wolf staring at his rabbit prey Bai Yutang almost sees his lover’s drool over his own naked body when they shower together last night.
Bai Yutang felt guilty, sometimes he gave his lover hand job and blow job to ease his lover’s hunger. He still feels heavy when he remembers he fell asleep two times in the middle of their love making session since he was really tired. Bai Yutang didn’t understand why his lover’s stamina was not depleted after working in the hospital, while he was coming home limp and wasted every day.
Maybe he should try topped his lover one day. Maybe being on top was not as exhausting as being in the bottom. He decided to ask his lover this Wednesday. Bai Yutang has never been on top for his whole life, he is also curious how it feels.
That’s why this happy Doctor Jian who spend a proper date this Wednesday with his kitten, who wantonly devour his kitten’s soft lips, who skilfully unbuckle his kitten’s belt, who groping his kitten’s supple butt, who slipped his hands under his kitten’s pants, were frozen when his kitten softly speaking in the middle of his panting breath of their fiery kiss in the living room.
“Gege.. Can i try being on top?”
