Chapter 21 Lucky Day

The matter of finding a school was finally settled, but I was anxious to find a job again.

There is a commercial street near the school, and many shops that need to recruit people will post advertisements at the door.But my options were extremely limited, and I looked around and found no merchants that might need me.

Later, I saw a milk tea shop, the clerk was very young, I went to chat with them with the mentality of trying, but I didn't expect them to respond to me.

It turned out that this milk tea shop was funded by college students of T University, and the clerks were all students of T University. It specially provided stable and long-term jobs for those students who wanted to earn pocket money or had difficulties.

Coincidentally, all their clerks now have classes every morning between 09:30 and 12:30.

I tentatively asked them if they could hire me during that time period, but unexpectedly they called me to ask for help, and the girl who called told me happily that their person in charge was nearby and would be there soon. Come over and talk to me about salary.

I feel like today is really my LuckyDay.

Ordering milk tea doesn’t require much communication, I just need to learn a few words of Chinese, such as how much sugar is needed, hot or iced.

I sat on the bench opposite the milk tea shop and waited.

Then I saw Chen Jin again.

It's really strange, this city is so big, I haven't even met a foreigner, but I always meet him.

I couldn't see me in the direction he was walking. When I saw him walking towards the milk tea shop, for some reason, I suddenly had a premonition that he should be the person in charge that the girl said.

I jumped up as if I had been stabbed in the ass by a needle, turned around and left.

"Shaw!" He yelled from behind and chased after him.

I wanted to pretend I didn't hear it, but his footsteps were getting closer and closer, and I finally couldn't help but run.

However, after all, my legs were not as long as his, and my physical strength was not as good as his. After running for two streets, I was finally caught up by him.

I was dragged by one arm by him, bent over and gasped for breath, and cursed Shit in my heart, why am I so inferior, it's fine if I can't beat him, I can't even run away from him.

He dragged me to the next shop, and I yelled disregarding my image under the surprised eyes of passers-by: "Damn it, let me go, Chen Jin!"

He turned a deaf ear to my resistance and dragged me into the Japanese restaurant.

No matter how uneducated I am, I am also embarrassed to make a scene in someone else's shop, but I have been trying to get my hand out, and the waiter who came to greet us turned his head away when he met my eyes, With a smile on his face, he led Chen Jin to the private room inside.

When Chen Jin clasped my hand and pushed me down on the tatami in the Japanese room, I finally couldn't help shouting at the waiter: "Help!"

He walked out without even looking at me.

Chen Jin told me very calmly: "Everyone here knows me."

I was stunned, and after a while, I pulled back my clasped hand forcefully: "Let go of me, talk if you have something to say!"

Chen Jin held my hand with a little force, and then slowly let go.

I tidied up my clothes and looked up at him: "What on earth do you want?"

He turned around with a chopstick in his hand, and said casually: "Nothing, just treat you to a meal."

"I do not want to eat."

"you think."

"I'm allergic to raw fish."

"And cooked food."

"..."

"Is there anything else to avoid?"

I pursed my lips tightly and stared at him.

Chen Jin's beautiful eyes moved, and his eyes turned to me, and then turned away after a while, this time holding two chopsticks and started to turn around.

I was actually a little shocked.

He is really skilled at playing with chopsticks, the slender chopsticks dance between his slender fingers.It's a pity not to play the piano with such nimble hands.

When I was out of my mind, I suddenly asked him: "Can you play the piano?"

He paused, then looked at me again: "Do you want to hear it?"

Only then did I realize that I actually took the initiative to talk to him, and turned my head away and stopped talking.

He put down his chopsticks, and his thoughtful eyes kept lingering on me.

People came in to deliver food one after another. I picked up my phone and checked the time. It was past six o'clock.Yan Minglang will be home before seven o'clock, I don't want to always report my day's itinerary to him, although he doesn't ask a lot recently, but if I go back too late, he will probably glance over and don't ask, Let me explain myself.

So basically every day after class, I only stay outside for an hour at most before rushing home.

I've always attached great importance to food, but now I'm not in the mood to eat even the most exquisite meal, let alone Chen Jin's treat.

I don't know if he will suddenly remember to ask me to pay him back the meal one day, so I didn't move my chopsticks.

He didn't even eat, and stared at me: "Eat."

I shook my head: "I'll go back and eat."

Chen Jin frowned.

"What's the matter with you, please tell me quickly, I'm in a hurry."

"At least wait until I finish eating, don't you even know this bit of etiquette?"

I hummed softly and turned my head.I really don't know who the person who doesn't understand etiquette is, it seems that the person who dragged me in is more reckless and uneducated?

Who made him rich and powerful?Only those who hold money and power in their hands are qualified to make irresponsible remarks on others.

Chen Jin took a piece of sashimi slowly, dipped it in the dipping sauce and put it in his mouth.He chews very slowly, and if I hadn't seen what he was eating, I would have suspected he was chewing gum.

After he took a bite of the salad with just one piece of sashimi in 5 minutes, I finally couldn't take it anymore.

"I really have to go."

Chen Jin paused, and after a while, he put down his chopsticks, and suddenly said, "I don't understand."

I looked at him suspiciously.don't understand what?I still don't understand it, I really don't understand what he means from avoiding me to pestering me, the only constant thing is probably the fact that he hates me.

"Is the money Yan Minglang gave you not enough?"

I knew a dog couldn't spit ivory out of its mouth.I can't even bother to explain to him.

Seeing that I ignored him, he propped his elbows on the table, folded his hands under his chin, and moved slightly closer to me.

"Hey," he said, "Let me introduce you to a job that pays [-] yuan a month for nothing. You don't follow Yan Minglang anymore, how about it?"

I doubt he knows what he's talking about.If there is such a good thing in the world, no one will starve to death.

I looked him up and down strangely.

"you……"

"what?"

I hesitated for a while, and a certain idea was finally left unsaid.I think it's really strange for me to have such thoughts, but it's even more strange for Chen Jin who said such words.

"No," I stood up, "if you just wanted to tell me this, thank you, I don't need to."

I stepped up to go, and he grabbed my hand.

I'm just going crazy.

"What on earth do you want? I want to go home. You have violated my right to personal liberty by doing this. It's against the law, do you know that!"

"Is ten thousand not enough? How much do you want? One hundred thousand? A shrewd businessman like Yan Minglang shouldn't be able to give you one million a month, right?"

I was short of breath for a while, and I spoke without thinking, and suddenly said: "Yeah, how can 1 yuan be possible, he gave me a full 6000 million Australian dollars, can you afford it?!"

Chen Jin's expression darkened.

I really don't know where I provoked him, why should I look at his face?

I pulled my hand back forcefully, his grip suddenly loosened, and I bumped into the shelf next to me.

The exquisite vase inside suddenly fell off, and there was a dull sound. I was startled, and quickly picked up the vase, only to find that the side where it landed was cracked.

Chen Jin smiled viciously: "Let's lose money."

Lucky Day?

I looked at the vase and smiled wryly.What kind of Lucky Day is this? It's a day full of disasters.

The manager came in, looked at the vase in my hand, and gestured for the number six.

Sixty seemed a little low, so I asked, "Six hundred?"

He shook his head regretfully: "Six thousand."

"..."

Although I have seen many big scenes, I never thought that an ordinary ceramic vase would cost 6000 yuan.

The manager explained to me, saying that this was made by a certain master in Tokyo, and it is the same as other ceramic ornaments on the shelf, and now I can’t buy it even if I want to buy it, etc.

I was dizzy by what he said, and I didn't listen to it. Anyway, the reality is that I have to lose money.

six thousand.

I sigh.It will take me half a year to wash dishes here.

"I don't have that much cash..."

"We also support credit card or code scanning here."

I lowered my head, blushed and said, "I mean, I don't have that much money."

The manager said "ah", glanced at Chen Jin, and then nodded: "Then you can see what to do, you can ask if there is any friend you know who can lend you this money."

When it comes to friends, I can only think of Eric. Although this amount of money is not a big amount to him, how can I borrow money from him?

Chen Jin was still sitting there as an old god, fingers on the table bit by bit, the sound was not loud, but it could not be ignored.

I saw his expression out of the corner of my eye, and I knew he was waiting for me to ask him to borrow money.

Does he think I'm stupid? I finally settled the accounts with him, and I don't have a long memory if I borrow him money again.

It seems that I have to find Yan Minglang.

When I took out my phone, Chen Jin's expression changed.I know, he saw that I had no intention of lending him money.

I took a deep breath and worked up the courage to call the number.

I know that what I am about to face must be another education that makes me feel ashamed.

The "beep" sounded for a long time, and I almost thought that he would not answer, and I would be miserable today.But luckily it finally got through.

"Hey?"

"Yan," I swallowed, "Well, are you home now?"

He paused slightly: "No, I'm still outside, and I may have to go back later today."

"what."

"what happened?"

"That...can you...give me 6000 yuan?"

I didn't say "borrow", I knew Yan Minglang didn't like it.

He didn't ask me what I was doing, and he readily agreed: "I'll transfer the money to you, and you can eat dinner yourself, so you don't have to wait for me."

"Thank you."

I hung up the call and opened WeChat, Yan Minglang had already transferred the money.

When the payment notification sounded, I felt a figure flash in front of my eyes, and when I looked up, Chen Jin had already rushed out.
