In the afternoon, there was news from the company that they had found a host to replace Christina and asked Christina to go to the company.
Out of selfish motives, Peter called her personally.
He wanted her to carefully consider whether she really wanted to resign. The Shepherd family liked her very much. He didn't want to see her become a freeloader, living a life of depending on others was too insipid and pallid.
After work, her former colleagues Crystal, Penny, and Rachel asked her out for a farewell dinner.
Brianna was also one of Christina's colleagues and her sister-in-law. Therefore, Crystal politely asked Brianna if she wanted to join them. But Crystal didn't expect that Brianna would agree because she had always been cold to them.
"Christina, you ask for leave many times and the manager gives you special privileges, I'm quite jealous of that. But right now, I don't want to see you leave the company."
Penny suddenly became a little emotional and rushed up to give Christina a big bear hug.
Christina was flattered and didn't know what to say. She then replied politely, "Thank you."
"With your character, I guess you will be ostracized by your colleagues even if you change to another job."
Penny was worried about her future, "I don't know how is your family's condition, but I think if you're going to find another job, you should really read more books on how to socialize and please people. You're too ostentatious..."
Penny kindly gave Christina a lot of advice on socializing, "Keep a low profile, you must remember that."
Looking at them, Rachel smiled.
"Psychologically, people with outstanding appearance and strength will make the masses feel awed, just like the primitive people who ran for their lives when they met the strong in order to survive. And people instinctively thought that outstanding people were more aggressive. Under the psychological effect of self-protection, they would subconsciously stay away from this kind of person. Ordinary people are more likely to be accepted by the group."
"Christina, if conditions allow, why don't you just be yourself? Staying true to yourself is the most important."
Rachel's voice was gentle and comfortable.
"Society forces us to change. We become unrecognizable in our pursuit of life. It would be great if there is someone protecting us silently." Rachel could guess that Christina must have married into a prominent family.
Hearing Rachel's words, Christina looked at her seriously, "Thank you."
Christina felt that Rachel was a woman of grace and gentleness.
Yet Rachel suddenly felt a little embarrassed when sensed Christina's serious gaze. She was a little talkative today, and usually, she would rather be silent.
"I'm hungry." She then smiled awkwardly and changed the subject. She didn't like to be conspicuous.
Today, their farewell dinner was hotpot.
In a private room, they had to wait for a while before the waiter served the ingredients for the hot pot and lettuce for them. This restaurant was busy at this time.
While waiting, they all took out their phones.
Crystal and Penny were surfing the internet and looking through Whatsapp messages. Nowadays, people could not live without their phones. Yet, Christina and Brianna, who were sitting at the side, were not addicted to cell phones.
"Oh no, I miss it again. Is this coupon a lie?"
At this moment, Penny's colleagues sent her a link. They said that there was a promotion of daily necessities. As long as they could get the coupons, they could bring home the products for free.
Crystal and Penny had tried several times but failed due to the slow net speed.
"What are you doing?" Seeing how excited they were, Christina then leaned over curiously.
Many of the items listed in the promotion were daily necessities like women's sanitary napkins, towels, toothbrushes, and even pregnancy test kits.
Crystal glanced at her and suddenly had an idea, "Christina, lend us your phone."
Christina's phone was definitely the top-of-the-range.
The coupons would be released every 15 minutes. At this tense moment, they had to be careful at the time and refresh the page desperately.
"We did it!"
Even though they only got some cheap daily necessities, such a small victory was very satisfying. And they now smiled at each other.
Brianna had never attended such a party. In the past, when she attended various occasions with the Hopkins family, she would sit quietly in the corner and wait for the time to pass. As for what others were talking about, she never cared.
This time, she had been quietly observing her sister-in-law, Christina, and the others.
Seeing their happy smiles, Christina also let out a smile.
However, she suddenly remembered and asked, "Where is the receiving address for these things? Is it my default address?"
"Oh no, I forgot to change the address just now." Only then did Crystal realize that.
It was such a thrilling process that there was no time for them to change the address.
She then checked the address on the phone and found that Christina's default address was the Morning Hillside Villa of the Hopkins family. And she became shocked.
Wouldn't it be too shabby if they asked Christina to help collect the packages of such free and cheap things?
