To change the subject, Lin Wanwan quickly asked Gu Jingyu, "You two are getting married soon. Have you bought a new car?"
Gu Jingyu shrugged and said, "Buy what? I don't even earn five thousand a month. Riding a scooter is good enough."
Lin Wanwan asked, "Not even five thousand a month? How come? Don't you work in cross-border e-commerce operations? I heard the market rate is over six thousand."
Gu Jingyu laughed bitterly and said, "I'm not talking about me. I earn seven thousand a month. I'm talking about him, my fiancé. He works in freight forwarding, struggling to get business going; five thousand is barely attainable."
"Oh," Lin Wanwan replied casually, "That's less than you make."
"Eh, can't help it. But we're all just graduated not long ago, things will get better in the future."
"And your apartment, no mortgage?"
"Yes, four thousand a month. His parents said they'll help pay half."
