The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

Tao Zhi roughly described the scene to the boss, and the boss also became interested and talked about the details.

No one had talked to me about painting for several years, and I had almost thrown it into a corner of my life, but suddenly, I was pulled out of it unexpectedly by this young man in front of me.

The boss's face was filled with smiles at this moment. Listening to Tao Zhi praising him from time to time, he felt in a very good mood. The boss's hearty laughter could be heard from time to time in this small space.

"Can you draw it?" Tao Zhi asked.

"I can draw it, but after all, it is based on your description, so it may be affected by my subjective factors," explained the boss.

"Then wait until I go back and buy a new phone tomorrow, and then I'll send you the pictures," said Tao Zhi.

The boss didn't expose the disappointment, but just smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to send it to me."

The boss glanced at the time on his phone. He had been chatting with Tao Zhiye for quite a while, but no new customers came.

"This is the end of my business today. I'll pack up and go back." said the boss.

"Oh, okay. I won't bother you anymore. Just write me your contact information on a piece of paper. I'll go back to the hotel along the route you told me and I'll contact you when I get there." Tao Zhi patted his butt and stood up.

The young man was concerned about his reputation, so the boss cooperated and let him finish the performance.

The boss drew a note to help Tao Zhi write down the route to the hotel, and then gave him his contact information.

When Tao Zhi reached out to take the note, the boss looked at Tao Zhi's bare feet, as if he was conflicted. Then he bent down, took out a pair of slippers from the cabinet and handed them to Tao Zhi.

"I don't have any other shoes here, so you just have to wear these. It's better to have something than nothing," said the boss.

Tao Zhi took it somewhat embarrassedly.

"Thank you, boss. I'm so lucky to meet you here today." Tao Zhi said with a smile.

Tao Zhi put on slippers. The slippers were a little big, but at least he didn't have to get hurt by the stones on the road. His toes stepped on gravel while he was running today, and it still hurts. He didn't know what happened.

Tao Zhi pushed open the door and was hit by a chill that made him shiver.

"Then I'm leaving, boss. Thank you for today."

Tao Zhi waved and walked out. There were no people on the road. Tao Zhi clasped his hands across his chest to keep his body warm and walked forward with his head down.

The boss looked at his back through the window, his eyes conflicted and he felt reluctant, but he finally opened the door and shouted at Tao Zhi.

"Hey, little brother Tao Zhi."

Hearing the voice, Tao Zhi turned his head and looked at the boss who was waving at him in confusion.

"What's wrong, boss?" Tao Zhi shouted back, with hot mist between his lips and teeth.

"It's not safe to travel at night. You can stay here with me for one night and go back tomorrow." said the boss.

Tao Zhi felt that all the heat in his body had dissipated and he was shivering with cold. Upon hearing his boss's words, he quickly ran back in his slippers.

"Thank you, boss. It's too dark at night and I'm afraid I'll get lost. Should I find a bridge hole to stay there for the night and go back tomorrow?" Tao Zhi said.

Seeing Tao Zhi trembling as he spoke, the boss quickly opened the door and let Tao Zhi in. Tao Zhi didn't hesitate and rushed in quickly.

The boss closed the door, feeling somewhat helpless.

In fact, I shouldn't have meddled in other people's business. It's happened before that I agreed to take someone in for a night out of pity, but later on, they became dependent on me and refused to leave, and it took me a lot of effort to get rid of them.

"Just one night, only one night," the boss warned.

"One night is enough, thank you. The temperature has dropped too much. I'm so cold that I can't even speak clearly. It's still warm in your little room." Tao Zhi grinned.

"Then I'll go back first. You can rest here." said the boss.

"Aren't you afraid that I will steal your things?" Tao Zhi joked.

"I have here the pots, pans, and a few leftover buns. If you are hungry, just take them and eat them. Even if you have any bad intentions, you will just be selling my pot as scrap metal." The boss replied.

The two chatted for a while, then the boss packed up his things, closed the door and left.

When the boss came back with the ingredients the next day, Tao Zhi was still sleeping on the table. The sound of the door opening made Tao Zhi wake up with a yawn.

Tao Zhi stood up, looked at the boss carrying a bunch of things in large and small bags, and walked over to help the boss take the things.

Tao Zhi looked outside and saw that it was already bright. He casually brushed his messy hair and walked towards the door.

"Boss, it's daybreak now. I won't bother you any more. I'll contact you later."

Tao Zhi turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped again by the busy boss.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Have breakfast before leaving. But I only have steamed buns for breakfast," said the boss.

Homeless people are always living on a one-day meal. This guy ran away without taking anything yesterday, and today he was so conscious and didn't bother to stay. It can be seen that he is not a bad person. Let's help him if we can.

Tao Zhi was indeed a little hungry, but he thought that since it was already daybreak and he knew the address of the hotel, he was not in a hurry to go back, so he simply helped the boss make the buns.

When the aroma of the buns dissipated with the billowing hot mist, Tao Zhi swallowed his saliva. Seeing that the buns were almost ready, the boss opened the steamer, filled a tall bowl of buns and placed it in front of Tao Zhi.

At this time, there was some flour on Tao Zhi's face, his eyes were shining, and he picked up a white bun with his hand. He felt it was very soft, and started to eat it with a grin.

Customers started coming to the window one after another, and the boss became busy. Tao Zhi, who was standing nearby, was in no hurry to leave anyway, so he simply helped the boss.

Occasionally, old customers would joke that the boss has finally decided to hire helpers.

I was so busy that I almost had to wait until lunch time.

The boss looked at Tao Zhi, who was always smiling and busying around with great interest, and hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"Why don't you stay and help me? I'll pay you $2000 for the first three months, with food and accommodation provided. Although the salary is not very high, it's better than wandering around," the boss suggested.

Tao Zhi looked up in confusion when he heard this.

The boss mainly thought that Tao Zhiye was diligent. Although he liked to make up lies to save face, he was not a bad person after all. Moreover, he talked to him about paintings for such a long time last night, so overall he still wanted to help him.

Tao Zhi realized belatedly that his boss still thought he was a homeless man, and he was a little amused and helpless for a moment.

"Thank you for your invitation, boss, but my boss still needs me as his assistant, so I'm not considering changing jobs for the time being." Tao Zhi said with a smile.

When the boss saw Tao Zhi refused, he stopped trying to help him.

"So are you ready to go back to the hotel now?" asked the boss.

"It's almost time to go. I have to leave some time for the possibility that I may take the wrong road." Tao Zhi explained.

"I'm also going to the nearby watch repair shop to pick up my watch. Do you want to come with me?" asked the boss.

"Okay!" Tao Zhi said in surprise.

The boss packed up his things, closed the window, locked the door, asked Tao Zhi to wait at the door for a while, and walked to the parking lot not far away and rode over an old bicycle.

"Get in the car," said the boss.

Seeing this, Tao Zhi smiled.

I only rode a children's bicycle when I was very young, but I fell ill and never rode it again. After I transmigrated into the book, I drove a luxury car every day. This bicycle was really new to me.

Tao Zhi sat astride the back seat with his legs spread out. Because his legs were too long, he could only lift them up high and tuck them at his sides. Then he held on to the seat under his boss's butt to maintain his balance.

The boss rode his bicycle forward.
