The moment I looked at her, I even forgot all the troubles I had brought back from home. In my world, there was no longer my aunt who wanted to get her daughter a job in Shanghai, no longer my aunt who wanted to negotiate business for her company, and no longer my neighbor who was desperately trying to curry favor with me... All I could see were the flashing lights and a basketball court made up of a woman and three little boys.

Is there a simpler, more fun weekend than this?

Yes, if I remember correctly, this is the weekend, a night that should be relaxing and carefree.

...

I came out from behind the tree and stood on the basketball court. I said to Yang Sisi, who had her back to me, "You really are getting your just desserts. You wouldn't let me sleep at night, and now these kids are giving you a taste of your own medicine during the day... I really thought you didn't know how painful it is to be kept awake by noise...!"

After a brief pause, I said, "Stop bullying these kids. If you're so capable, fight me."

Yang Sisi turned around and looked at me with a horrified expression...

I gave a cold laugh.

Yang Sisi took off running, and she ran really fast. In the blink of an eye, she had run from the basketball court to the building where we lived.

If I wanted to chase her relentlessly, I could definitely catch her, but I didn't. I didn't want to ruin such a wonderful weekend by catching her and then wanting to "beat her to death."

I picked up the basketball from the ground, stretched my legs, took a running start, and, under the watchful eyes of the three children, slammed the ball into the hoop. The frustration in my heart was released, but the moment it hit the ground, I felt like my back was about to break...

I'm not young anymore, although my inner energy remains...

...

With one hand on my aching back and the other holding the contract I'd just signed with Lao Jin, I went back to my room. This time, I finally saw Chen Jin, who had finished a day of delivering food. He was leaning back on the sofa, lounging like a Ge You, staring blankly at the wall lamp on the balcony that looked like it had three eyes. When he saw me come back, he didn't react at all. I didn't know if it was because he was too tired or if he was upset with me.

I tossed the contract I had signed with Lao Jin onto the coffee table, took a sip of water, and said to him, "Thanks to you, we signed three more shop contracts."

Chen Jin glanced at me and asked, "Really?"

"There's a contract; you can see it yourself."

Chen Jin straightened up, picked up the contract from the coffee table, and began to flip through it page by page...

Finally, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "You're pretty good, kid! When did you finalize this?"

"Just now... this matter needs to be done sincerely."

You're putting me down a bit!

I smiled, then took my phone out of my pocket. I found the "shop starting at one yuan" auction I'd done before in the WeChat store, and then held the phone up to Chen Jin, saying, "Take another look. This shop has already been inflated to 62,000 yuan a year... After the event ends, we'll have 62,000 yuan in income, or even more... Actually, the situation isn't as bad as you think... Stop delivering food, and treat this project as a real business, okay?"

Chen Jin lit a cigarette, his brow furrowed. He finally spoke to me, saying, "You're really quite impressive... As long as your ideas are implemented, things can basically progress step by step according to your original plan... However, it's an undeniable fact that Cao Jinbo's shops have become a major obstacle to our project... If we can't resolve this..."

I interrupted Chen Jin and replied, "If you can't solve this, are you planning to deliver food for that 'Chaozhou' porridge shop for the rest of your life? ... Don't hold a grudge against your buddy. We'll figure out a solution together when we encounter problems. Your resignation is really making me feel insecure... We're a team. I need to be the best first, but you also need to do your job well... We complement each other. As long as I don't give up, you have no reason to give up... Otherwise, bringing you to Dali would just be draining you, and it wouldn't have any positive effect!"

Chen Jin took a deep drag on his cigarette, then revealed a hint of shame.

Just as I was about to strike while the iron was hot, the extremely annoying banging on the floor came from upstairs again...

I tolerated her knocking once, but she showed no sign of stopping and made the knocking more and more frequent.

I slammed my hand on the coffee table, and then, to Chen Jin's astonishment, I opened the door and rushed upstairs...

I have to teach this lawless person a lesson, otherwise I really will drive myself crazy with all the noise she's making!! Want to chat about "My Tenant Miss" with more like-minded people? Follow "or" on WeChat to discuss your favorite books with other book lovers.
