Chapter 66 Cruel Reality

Li Yue returned to the rental house, wiped her face with cold water, changed into home clothes, threw herself on the bed and fell asleep.

Maybe it was because of the elevator accident before going to bed, Li Yue had nightmares all night. There were all kinds of monsters in the dream, and the scariest one was the domineering boss Wang Fugui.

In the dream, the system said to Li Yue: "Since you did not complete the task, you have no chance to escape from here. Dear Li Yue, you will always be the special assistant of the overbearing boss Wang Fugui..."

Li Yue was so scared that she almost cried. She wanted to jump off the building, but the system would save her.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a hospital ward.

Yue Yifan, wearing a white coat, stood in front of the bed, his eyes were gentle, and his tone was full of concern: "You're awake, you just kept muttering about some system, some overbearing boss, some time travel... Did you have nightmares because of too much work pressure recently? Don't be afraid, it's the 21st century now, you can be discharged soon."

Li Yue:!!!

So the system is just having a nightmare?

Li Yue sat up suddenly and couldn't help jumping on the hospital bed.

Because she moved so much, she rolled off the bed.

This time, she woke up completely.

She was still in her small rental apartment, still wearing 100% polyester pajamas that cost 19.9 yuan with free shipping.

It turns out that returning to the real world was just a dream.

After waking up from the dream, the system's cold and silly voice sounded.

[Hanhan: You're awake. Just now you kept saying that you've finally returned to the real world... Have you been dreaming about going home so much recently? Wake up. We are still in the world of the book. The male and female protagonists still only have a 55% affection for each other.]

Li Yue: ...

How could there be such a cruel reality?

After being woken up by the fall, Li Yue had already realized what was going on.

Why pour cold water on this stupid system!

But why did she dream about Yue Yifan?

In the dream, Yue Yifan was like her savior. After waking up, Li Yue subconsciously wanted to see Yue Yifan.

Li Yue was shocked by the idea.

She reacted immediately.

Perhaps it was really because of yesterday's incident that triggered the suspension bridge effect, causing her favorability towards Yue Yifan to increase.

Li Yue began to analyze rationally and decided that she probably didn't really like Yue Yifan.

What's more, she will leave this world eventually.

Even if she had to stay in this world, she would not drag down Yue Yifan.

Li Yue took out her cell phone and checked the time. It was only eight o'clock in the morning.

Before she came to her senses, the countless unread messages were already making her feel overwhelmed.

There is no need to think about it, it must be that the domineering boss Wang Fugui has some strange request again.

But, isn’t the domineering boss Wang Fugui sleepy?

Li Yue opened WeChat and was about to see what message the domineering boss Wang Fugui had sent, but a note that caught her eye almost made her heart stop.

[Landlord: Little girl, it’s time to pay your rent for this quarter.]

Li Yue:!!!

It would be fine if I just paid the rent, but why do I have to pay for a quarter?

She already had to grit her teeth to pay the 500 yuan monthly rent, and she would have to grit her teeth to pay the 1,500 yuan quarterly rent.

You know, she only has 2,000 yuan in her hand now.

[Landlord: Little girl, don’t pretend you didn’t see it. There are many people waiting to rent this house. If you don’t pay the rent, I will take the house back.]

What the landlord said was not false.

This type of house is cheap and has relatively convenient transportation. Although the facilities are a bit old, countless workers still flock to it.

No one would rent a house to someone who is behind on rent.

Li Yue had no choice but to reluctantly transfer 1,500 yuan to the landlord.

Looking at his balance of 498, Li Yue suddenly realized something.

Li Yue: Silly, how come I only have 498 left? Where is my two dollars? Who stole my two dollars!!!

[Silly: My bank card charges two yuan for text messages every month.]

Li Yue covered her chest with her hands. She finally understood what it meant to have bad times come and bad times come.

That’s two whole dollars!

That's two dollars, enough to buy a pack of noodles for her to eat for several meals.

I thought I could have some peace and quiet after paying the rent, but I didn't expect the landlord to continue saying after receiving the payment: Little girl, there is still 198 in property management fees.

Li Yue: ...

Why do we have to pay property management fees for this shabby building?

Thinking about the voice-controlled lights in the corridor that don't work well, the surveillance cameras that are ineffective, and the cat and dog feces that appear on the stairs from time to time.

Maintaining community facilities, ensuring the safety of owners, cleaning the community... the property management company can't even do these things, so why are they charging property management fees!

But she couldn't be without a place to stay now, so after some struggle, she had no choice but to pay the property fee to the landlord.

After paying the property management fee, Li Yue looked at the only 300 yuan she had left and felt like she had no desire to live.

She decided not to reply to the message from the domineering boss Wang Fugui, but instead powered up the refrigerator, changed her clothes, washed up, and went to "the largest vegetable market in City A."

Because this place is also affected by the magnetic field of the domineering boss Wang Fugui, the prices of meat and vegetables are particularly cheap.

Li Yue spent three dollars to buy three pieces of pork ribs, two shrimps and some vegetables.

Anyway, she is now debt-free. Although the money she has is relatively small, it is enough for her to get through to the end of the month to pay her salary.

After so many days of hard work, she needs to reward herself.

This time, Li Yue did not run into Yue Yifan at the vegetable market. Thinking of Yue Yifan's tired state last night, she sighed and just hoped that all this would end soon.

After returning home, Li Yue made herself some pork rib noodles and also used the remaining ingredients at home to make a simple garlic vermicelli shrimp.

Although there are only two shrimps, today's breakfast is nutritionally balanced and tastes good.

Li Yue: Silly, do you think the boss Wang Fugui will pay me this month?

Although according to the setting, Li's salary from last month had been deducted, but after the deduction, it did not reach the minimum wage standard of the city, which was also not in compliance with the regulations.

The current boss Wang Fugui already knows a little bit about the law, and is relatively normal. In this case, he shouldn't really not pay her salary.

[Hanhan: I think the boss Wang Fugui is likely to pay you the full salary. After all, your efforts during this period have played a certain role.]

After Li Yue had eaten and drunk her fill, she felt much better. She washed the dishes, then took out her cell phone and opened the chat box of the domineering boss Wang Fugui.

[Boss Wang Fugui: Assistant Li, why are there people smearing me online?]

[Boss Wang Fugui: Special Assistant Li, I'll give you three minutes to find out who is behind this?]

[Boss Wang Fugui: Special Assistant Li, how dare you not reply to my message.]

Li Yue glanced at the time when the domineering boss Wang Fugui sent her a message.

Three thirty in the morning!

The domineering boss Wang Fugui kept sending messages to question Li Yue because she didn't reply in time.

What about dereliction of duty, crossing the line, being exiled to Africa... all kinds of messed up remarks made by the domineering boss are overwhelming.

It was not until six o'clock in the morning that the domineering boss Wang Fugui fell asleep and stopped bombarding Li Yue with news.

No wonder when Li Yue had a nightmare last night, she dreamed that her WeChat kept ringing, and it was filled with news about the domineering boss Wang Fugui.

Love is not a dream, it is real!

Fortunately, she was too tired last night and fell asleep immediately. Otherwise, if she was really woken up by the domineering boss Wang Fugui, she might have died suddenly.

Li Yue decided to take back her comment that the domineering boss Wang Fugui was "relatively normal".

It's obvious that he is still crazy!
