Chapter 214 Finally I Don’t Have to Be Separated From You Anymore
"Okay, okay, then it's settled, I finally have a chance to taste your craftsmanship." Song Xiyun said sweetly.
After having lunch outside, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun went to the nearby fresh food supermarket to buy vegetables.
Song Xiyun is a girl with strong life skills and is very knowledgeable in choosing vegetables and meat. Ning Chen feels that even if Song Xiyun and Wang Yanping go shopping together, the two of them will get along very well.
However, Ning Chen immediately gave up the idea. After all, it was difficult for this kind of thing to happen. At least now, he and Song Xiyun were just friends.
The two of them carried loads of vegetables home, and Song Xiyun said:
"Chef Ning, let's see what you want to do tonight. I'll help you this time."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
The two of them were about to put away the dishes together, when Song Xiyun's cell phone rang.
"Hello... you are... still here... okay, I'll be there in a moment."
After hanging up the phone, Song Xiyun's expression also changed significantly.
"Song Xiyun, has the school responded to you?" Ning Chen asked.
"Well, they just replied to me and asked me to go over and study the signing of the employment agreement."
Such a reply obviously meant that Song Xiyun had passed the interview, and Ning Chen was very happy to hear it.
"Song Xiyun, are you going to sign the employment agreement today?"
"As long as the treatment is suitable, I'll sign today."
"Then...are you really going to stay and work in Shengzhou?"
"Of course, but I don't rule out that if there is a better opportunity, I may try to interview elsewhere."
"Well, it would be good to go to a few more places for interviews. You have to compare with each other." Ning Chen said.
Although Ning Chen hoped from the bottom of his heart that Ning Chen could stay at Shengzhou University, after all, with Song Xiyun's ability, he would definitely have the opportunity to try out at a better university.
After all, it is not uncommon for three parties to break a contract, and the main thing is to pay some liquidated damages.
"Then let's go to school to study the employment agreement first, and then come back to cook?"
"Okay, let's go to the school first."
On the way, Ning Chen told Song Xiyun some precautions when signing an employment agreement.
Although Ning Chen could not reveal to Song Xiyun in detail the treatment provided by the school due to confidentiality reasons, Ning Chen still set a minimum treatment standard for Song Xiyun. At least, the standard discussed with the school could not be lower than this, otherwise it would be a bit It's a waste of Song Xiyun's ability.
"Okay, Teacher Ning, I understand, then I'll go up by myself."
"Well, just call me when it's over."
Although "Teacher Ning" is a more formal title, Ning Chen felt a different feeling when being called that by Song Xiyun.
The signing of the employment agreement was faster than the interview in the morning. Song Xiyun called Ning Chen in about half an hour.
"The employment agreement is signed, come here now."
"Well, come out, I'll be nearby."
After completing the signing of the employment agreement, Song Xiyun's spirit had completely relaxed, and her face was rosy. It was a sense of satisfaction that she had finally solved a major matter.
Ning Chen did not ask in detail about the specific treatment offered to Song Xiyun by Shengzhou University. Being able to sign the employment agreement in such a short period of time showed that Song Xiyun was very satisfied with the treatment provided by Shengzhou University.
"Ning Chen, your Shengzhou University is really very straightforward. You are not stingy at all when negotiating salary. I thought it would take a long time to negotiate terms."
"Haha, it also depends on who is applying. For someone as outstanding as you, the school is eager to see you and sign a contract with them directly."
"Well, I'm not like you. I can be hired directly without an interview."
The two came out of school, when Song Xiyun said:
"By the way, we still haven't bought some seasonings just now. Let's go to the nearby supermarket."
"Okay, let's go over there. That supermarket has a full range of things, so we can buy some snacks and drinks."
After arriving at the supermarket, the two of them carried a shopping basket to the seasoning area and selected various seasonings for cooking in the evening.
When passing by the beverage area, Song Xiyun suddenly remembered something and said shyly:
"Tonight...should we celebrate a little bit?"
Ning Chen saw Song Xiyun looking at the place where the red wine was placed, and instantly understood what Song Xiyun meant.
"Okay, let's have a drink tonight."
Ning Chen usually doesn't like drinking, but red wine is an exception. Occasionally drinking a small glass at night can still have some sleep-promoting effects.
Ning Chen selected a bottle of the most expensive red wine and put it in the shopping basket.
After settling the bill at the cashier, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun returned to Ning Chen's house together.
After returning home, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun immediately went to the kitchen to get busy.
Ning Chen planned to cook four dishes in the evening, which was not an easy task for Ning Chen, whose cooking skills were quite good.
But Ning Chen knows which dishes are delicious, look good, and not complicated, which are very suitable for his current level of cooking skills.
As agreed before, Ning Chen was in charge of the chef's work today. Song Xiyun just helped Ning Chen wash, cut vegetables, and clean the dishes. At the same time, she was looking forward to what kind of meal Ning Chen could make tonight.
At six o'clock in the evening, Ning Chen prepared all the meals and served them to the table with Song Xiyun.
Looking at the food on the table, Song Xiyun also felt a little weird.
"I didn't expect Teacher Ning's cooking skills to be so good. Just by looking at the appearance and smelling the taste of these dishes, I know they must be very delicious. How many advantages do you have that I don't know about?"
"Teacher Song, thank you. My cooking skills are far worse than yours."
Ning Chen simply addressed Song Xiyun as a teacher. Anyway, Song Xiyun had signed an employment agreement with Shengzhou University and was considered a "quasi-teacher".
Before eating, Ning Chen opened the red wine with a corkscrew and poured himself and Song Xiyun a glass each.
"I don't have a decanter at home, so just drink it." Ning Chen said.
"Hey, you don't need to be so particular. I can't tell any difference in the taste of this thing. It's mainly for the atmosphere."
Ning Chen and Song Xiyun tasted these dishes first, and both of them were satisfied with the taste of these dishes.
"Ning Chen, these dishes taste really good. You don't usually cook. When did you suddenly learn this skill?"
To be honest, although the taste of these dishes was not surprising, it far exceeded Song Xiyun's expectations.
"Have I seen you cooking? With my learning ability, I can learn it after watching it several times." Ning Chen said with a smile.
Song Xiyun naturally didn't believe Ning Chen's answer. Cooking still needs practice. It seems that Ning Chen must have cooked secretly by himself before.
"Come, let's celebrate that Teacher Song passed the interview at Shengzhou University. Although we may not necessarily become colleagues in the future, at least we don't have to worry about not finding a job."
"Haha, it's not that I can't find a job. I just want to stay in college and work. I also want to thank Teacher Ning for helping me during the interview."
After the two people clinked their glasses, each took a sip of the red wine in his own glass.
Ning Chen could tell that Song Xiyun's drinking capacity was not very good. After just a small sip of red wine, her face became a little rosy.
The two of them were eating and chatting like this, and the atmosphere quietly changed subtly.
"Ning Chen, do you really want me to stay at Shengzhou University? You won't find me annoying, right?"
Ning Chen and Song Xiyun have always been in a state of being together less and more apart, but if Song Xiyun also stays at Shengzhou University as a teacher, the two of them will no longer be separated in different places in the next few decades, and they will no longer need to go for a walk. It's through remote connection.
"Of course I hope you can stay at Shengzhou University. Although I have a lot of friends here, there are actually not many friends that I can really talk to. If you stay here in the future, at least I will have a companion when I run every night. .”
Ning Chen's relationship with several roommates and classmates was not bad, but because of the difference in mental age and outlook on life, Ning Chen was unable to discuss many things with them.
Xu Zhou is an exception, but Xu Zhou has his own family after all, and his free time is relatively limited. Ning Chen still regards Xu Zhou more as a good colleague and good friend, but has not yet reached the level of a confidant.
Only Song Xiyun made Ning Chen feel like a confidant. The two of them got along very well in many aspects, and they felt very comfortable and relaxed when they were together.
"Haha, it's good that you don't find me annoying. Let's meet another one because of the friendship between us running together."
"Song Xiyun, you've had a little too much to drink."
Although the two of them had only drank half a bottle of red wine in total, after all, the alcohol content of red wine was much higher than that of beer, and Song Xiyun's alcohol capacity was not good, so it would be really easy to get drunk if she continued to drink like this.
"Hey, I only indulge a little bit like this occasionally. I usually have a lot of pressure every day. Only running and eating delicious food can relieve the pressure. Okay, this is the last drink. After drinking it, I won't stop. Drink.”
Song Xiyun has never been so happy as tonight. Passing the interview at Shengzhou University is not the fundamental reason. The most important thing is that from now on, she and Ning Chen can finally work and live in the same city and the same university.
After finishing the meal, the blush on Song Xiyun's face had not faded, and her body also felt a little elated.
Song Xiyun also wanted to wash the dishes and tidy up the kitchen, but Ning Chen refused.
"Song Xiyun, you're a little drunk. Let me help you go back to your room and rest for a while."
