It was quite a coincidence. After Wang Dan finished speaking, Tang Zhicheng really did make a trip to Haicheng. He brought back the overcoats that Ye Fangfei and her colleagues needed for work. Yes, it was them, not Wang Dan herself. The goods building was a place where women worked the most.
Wang Dan noticed the new overcoat that Ye Fangfei was wearing, and she also saw the one from the office next door. The sales clerks in front had already heard about it; Accountant Ye was wearing a cashmere coat bought from Haicheng, specifically purchased by her man who went there just for her. It was also heard that Statistician Wang Dan had asked Accountant Ye to have her man bring back another one.
The first to come over were Yao Feixue and her two friends. "Feifei, you’re being a bit inconsiderate! How could you forget me with such a beautiful coat?" Yao Feixue said during a break at work.
Ye Fangfei didn’t expect the news to spread so quickly; it wasn’t even noon yet, and Yao Feixue and her friends had already heard about it. "I didn’t have time to tell you; Zhicheng came the day before yesterday, and I took leave yesterday and didn’t go to work. This coat is my first time wearing it today," Ye Fangfei replied with a smile.
"That’s more like it! When is Xiao Tang going back to Haicheng? Have him bring me one too," Yao Feixue said without hesitation.
"I don’t know when he’ll go; it depends on the team’s schedule," Ye Fangfei answered honestly.
"I know that. If he goes, just have him bring me one."
"Don’t worry; he won’t be working for nothing. We’ll make sure he gets something in return," Yao Feixue said, also addressing those who came with her and wanted Ye Fangfei to help carry things back. After all, there were risks involved when Tang Zhicheng helped them carry items. Who would want to take unnecessary risks when their relationship wasn’t that close? Except for her; she had a good relationship with Ye Fangfei.
"Right, Xiao Ye, we all understand the rules; we won’t let him work for nothing," Wang Dan quickly chimed in.
If Yao Feixue hadn’t brought it up, she could have played dumb. But since someone mentioned it, she had to express her stance quickly.
"Yes, Accountant Ye, please help us out; we all know the rules."
"Exactly, Accountant Ye, have your man bring me one too! I’m getting married soon, and it would be perfect to wear the coat when I go out."
Ye, the accountant, listened as several people chattered about having Tang Zhicheng deliver clothes. After hearing enough, Ye Fangfei waved her hand and said, "Well, let's not go on about it. We're all in this together, and if we can help, we certainly will."
Upon hearing her words, everyone felt a surge of happiness and was about to express their gratitude. However, Ye Fangfei continued, "But you all know that clothes are in high demand right now. Even with fabric coupons, it’s not guaranteed you can buy anything. The outfit I'm wearing was something my husband had to get from a friend."
She sighed and added, "So I can only say that I'll ask my husband to see if he can help. If he manages to buy something, that's great; if not, please don’t blame me."
"Of course, of course," someone chimed in. "We all work at the warehouse and know how hard it is to find good clothes," said Yao Feixue.
Ye Fangfei went on, "This coat I’m wearing cost over fifty dollars and took ten fabric coupons. That’s only because my husband found a friend to help; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible at that price. What I want to say is that I'm not sure if the prices will still be the same this time around or if the styles will be like mine."
