That pregnant woman pulled Lin Wanwan along, offering words of gratitude for a long time.
She insisted on getting Lin Wanwan’s contact information, saying she must repay her properly in the future. Lin Wanwan could not decline and had no choice but to leave her WeChat.
After the law enforcement personnel left with the owner, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, and Lin Wanwan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She glanced at the sealed raw-marinated food shop; there was no thrill of triumph in her heart, only the lightened ease of a heavy stone finally dropping to the ground.
A subtle feeling expanded within Lin Wanwan’s heart.
A terrible poisoning incident that would have originally affected over 100 victims had actually been dismantled by her so easily.
Lin Wanwan pulled out her phone and straightforwardly transferred the remaining 300 to Zhao Yuewen.
The next moment, the other party initiated a voice call directly.
Though somewhat puzzled in her heart, Lin Wanwan picked it up straightforwardly anyway.
“Sister, didn’t we agree on 200 a day? How come you transferred 300 to me all at once?”
“I won’t accept rewards I didn’t earn! I do a day’s work and take a day’s pay!”
“I’m transferring the extra 200 back to you!”
Before Lin Wanwan could even speak, the other party hung up the voice call.
Immediately after, a red envelope transfer of 200 arrived.
Looking at the red envelope, Lin Wanwan shook her head helplessly.
Even though it was just a verbal promise, in her view, the agreement between both parties had already been established.
They had originally agreed to hire her for two days; although it ended early now, in Lin Wanwan’s view, she should still pay for two days of work.
Besides, resolving the poisoning incident so smoothly put her in a exceptionally great mood.
Seeing that it was no longer early and that she had already requested leave from the company in advance, Lin Wanwan had no intention of returning to the company.
Thinking of the cash check in her bag, Lin Wanwan quickly went to the nearest bank to cash it out.
With 100,000 in cash transferred into her bank card, her savings total smoothly broke into six figures.
Looking at her bank balance of a full 180,000, Lin Wanwan felt a touch of emotion.
Without realizing it, her bank balance was actually just one step away from reaching 200,000.
Back then, her parents would give her 1,500 every month as living expenses.
While this money was not a huge amount, it was naturally no problem for maintaining a normal university life.
However, during her university years, she frequently went to watch concerts of various idols.
Regarding Lin Wanwan’s behavior of watching concerts, although her parents could not understand it, they did not oppose it either.
But this also meant that getting money from her parents to buy tickets was basically impossible.
Therefore, Lin Wanwan often took on various part-time jobs on weekends and various holidays.
Handing out flyers, working as a restaurant waitress, and serving as sales personnel and attendant at various real estate developments.
On one occasion, she went to a real estate development in the suburbs of Yangcheng to work as a greeter. Although that development was a bit far from the city center, the price was genuinely attractive.
Back then, real estate prices in the city center were basically above 40,000, whereas the average price of that residential community was just over 20,000.
The key point was that roughly ten minutes away from the community, there was a subway station, making the transportation and corresponding supporting amenities quite complete.
Thus, while working as a greeter, a plan took root in Lin Wanwan’s heart: to save up a down payment of 200,000.
The reason it was 200,000 was that the smallest unit layout in that community was 48 square meters.
The selling price was just over 1,000,000, and calculated according to the 15 percent down payment ratio for a first home, the down payment required 150,000.
Since the apartment itself came fully decorated, the remaining 50,000 could be used for simple furnishings, as well as purchasing furniture and home appliances.
Originally, she had planned to take four to five years to complete this plan.
After all, given her current salary, even if she lived frugally, saving up 200,000 was not an overly easy task.
However, this arduous task that originally required several years to complete…
Relying on the information from the future emails, she had smoothly accomplished it in merely a few days!
However, having easily earned 180,000, she could no longer look fondly upon that small unit layout she had yearned for back then.
The cost-effectiveness of that house was indeed pretty good—inexpensive price, a subway nearby, and guaranteed supporting facilities.
But whether in terms of distance to the city center or to her current company, it was far too distant.
Just like the steak from before, if one’s hands were tight on money, the cost-effectiveness of tenderloin steak was indeed very high.
However, under the circumstance of not being short on cash, the higher-priced M8 Wagyu beef was the better choice.
In the foreseeable future, her income would definitely be far more than this.
Anxiously buying a suburban small unit layout originally meant for transition seemed a bit wasteful.
After all, given the current dismal real estate market, the investment attributes of the vast majority of commercial residential buildings were no longer high.
After hesitating for merely a moment, Lin Wanwan made a decision in her heart.
No rush to buy a house for now; having enough cash in hand would also allow her to handle some emergency situations that might arise.
Thinking of the Wagyu beef, Lin Wanwan felt her stomach growling again.
Because she was worried about the situation here, she had only casually fended off her hunger with a few biscuits at noon.
Thinking that she had time again tonight, Lin Wanwan stopped by the mall on the way and bought a lot of ingredients.
In the blink of an eye, the time reached midnight.
[Time Mailbox: You have a letter from September 20, 2025]
“How could someone cause such a huge disaster?”
“How could I mess up the data inside such an important document?”
“Fortunately, Zhou Wenbo and Sister Zhang both stepped up to intercede for me.”
“Plus, the cooperation agreement worth 5,000,000 with Boyu was just reached on that side.”
“Otherwise, I would definitely have been fired this time!”
“However, having caused such a massive disaster, my rating at the end of this year will probably be an F.”
“Me from a year later? Do you blame me for being careless?”
“I am truly, deeply sorry!”
…
After Lin Wanwan finished reading the email, her brows tightly knit together.
As an intern, she usually handled various trivial chores; how could she possibly come into contact with an important document?
No, she immediately realized.
She was indeed no longer an intern employee now.
From the moment she received her official employee badge, she was already an official employee of Ocean Engine.
However, even with the full-time conversion, her level was still the lowest S3.
Logically speaking, someone at her level shouldn’t be able to come into contact with any important documents.
She recalled her work over these days.
She confirmed once again that what she had processed before were all trivial tasks.
Which meant the erroneous document mentioned in the email most likely hadn’t reached her hands yet.
Thinking up to this point, Lin Wanwan instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
This meant that as long as she processed that important document carefully—especially the data inside the document—the incident in the email would not happen.
Although the email mentioned that Zhou Wenbo and Sister Zhang had both stepped up to intercede for her…
Knowing in advance, she wouldn’t deliberately make a mistake anyway.
Favors were one aspect, but even more important was the rating mentioned in the email.
