"Yeah! He was checking tickets over there just now!" Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at his sister; he had seen it clearly! That person was punching holes with the ticket scanner!

What else could that be but a ticket inspector?

Zhang Li's expression kept changing before she finally poked her younger brother's forehead. "Hurry up and go home, or I'll spank you if you keep causing trouble."

"Hmph, I'm going home to tell Mom you bullied me!" Seeing that his sister had repeatedly refused his requests, Zhang Xiaoqiang shouted that he was going home to tell the adults.

"Alright, I'll buy you a soda. Stop causing trouble, you hear me?" Zhang Li grabbed Zhang Xiaoqiang, who was trying to run away, and rolled her eyes at him.

Although she wasn't afraid of him telling on her, her mother's nagging was really annoying.

"Thank you, sister. You're the best to me." Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes lit up when he heard about the soda, and he looked at Zhang Li with a fawning expression.

After buying Zhang Xiaoqiang a bottle of water to send him away, Zhang Li returned to the movie theater, glanced at Qin Yu, and deliberately gave him a sweet smile.

Qin Yu noticed the scrutinizing look Zhang Li gave him, and he completely ignored her attempts to be friendly, not even responding. He turned away to talk to Old Bai, pretending not to see her.

When Zhang Li saw that Qin Yu didn't react at all, her smile froze. She pursed her lips and returned to her counter to continue working.

"That kid just said Ma Tao is his brother-in-law, right?" Old Bai nudged Qin Yu and asked.

"Right? Does it matter?" Qin Yu said dismissively.

Who cares who his brother-in-law is? What does it have to do with him?

"You kid, you really don't take it seriously? Ma Tao was obviously doing that on purpose!" Old Bai looked at Qin Yu and realized that he really didn't care at all.

"Why bother with them? My job is to be a ticket inspector. I have you, what do I need them for? What's so difficult about this job?" Qin Yu had absolutely no interest in them. He'd rather spend his time thinking about how to fatten up his wife!

Qin Yu's eyes were dark as he recalled his passionate kiss with his wife last night. Looking at her limp and alluring figure beneath him, Qin Yu sighed.

I wonder when my wife will accept me...

But the most important thing now is how to get his wife to accept him.

"What are you thinking about? Look at that smile on your face, are you thinking about your wife?" Old Bai looked at Qin Yu's expression just now and was certain that he was thinking about women.

"Old Bai, do you know where I can rent a house nearby?" Qin Yu remembered that he needed to rent a house. Now that his job was settled, he should start preparing for the house.

"You want to rent a house?" Old Bai looked at Qin Yu suspiciously.

"It's just two people living here, so it would be best if it had a kitchen!" Qin Yu had seen many places where people cooked with coal briquettes, so having a decent kitchen would be ideal.

"I'll ask around for you." Old Bai nodded, promising to keep an eye out for Qin Yu.

"Thank you, Elder Bai," Qin Yu said with a smile.

"Hey, have you already checked your tickets?" Ma Tao arrived late, and seeing that the movie had already started, he showed no apology and smiled faintly.

"Hmm." Qin Yu glanced at Ma Tao and said indifferently.

Ma Tao's face twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

As the workday was drawing to a close, Director Wu approached Qin Yu again, smiling as he asked, "How's it going? Any difficulties? Let me know if you encounter any!"

"No," Qin Yu shook his head. "Thank you, Director Wu."

"I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied." Director Wu smiled, his eyes slightly glazed.

Qin Yu smiled and walked past Director Wu, preparing to leave work.

Director Wu watched Qin Yu walk out after get off work and couldn't help but ask.

Where are you headed?

"Oh, go cook at Lin Qiang's house," Qin Yu said lazily.

My wife seems to really like eggplant, should I make it again tonight?

"Really? Oh..." Upon hearing Qin Yu's reply, Director Wu's eyes lit up with a pleased smile, and he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

"Director Wu, how is it?" Li Ming walked up to Director Wu, expecting his answer.

"Little Li! Comrade Qin Yu said he's adapting very well. I think since this job has already been handed over to Comrade Qin Yu, let's just leave it at that! I'll transfer it to you again when there's an opportunity later." Director Wu said to Li Ming with a faint smile, then turned and left.

Li Ming's face darkened instantly upon hearing Director Wu's words. He had gone to great lengths to borrow so much money and give Director Wu gifts, all in an effort to switch to the job of a ticket inspector.

Director Wu had agreed so readily, but he changed his mind as soon as Qin Yu appeared.

The things that were sent out could not be retrieved, and the promises made could not be kept.

Li Ming took a breath and punched the wall in frustration.

"Li Ming." Zhang Li's voice sounded behind Li Ming, and the gloom in Li Ming's eyes disappeared when he heard Zhang Li's voice.

He turned around and looked at Zhang Li excitedly. "Lili."

"Is your job hopeless? I heard from my younger brother that the ticket inspector job was taken by the new guy? Didn't you promise that you would definitely be promoted to ticket inspector? Why didn't it happen?" Zhang Li questioned Li Ming.

"It's that new guy again." Li Ming couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard that Zhang Li had made this deal.

He had already boasted to Zhang Li, given her gifts, and promised her money, but in the end, the deal fell through and he was robbed of his money.

"What can we do then? You're showing the program there every day, when will we ever have time to spend together?" Zhang Li glared at Li Ming unhappily.

If you can't get this done, we're both finished.

"Lili!" Li Ming tried to grab Zhang Li's hand, but Zhang Li shook him off and ran away.

Li Ming's face grew even more gloomy.

A fierce glint flashed in Li Ming's eyes, and he turned and walked in another direction.

Zhang Li ran into the alley, and one hand pulled her into a narrow crevice in the alley.

"Lili, I've missed you so much." The man hugged Zhang Li tightly and tried to kiss her, but Zhang Li blushed and quickly stopped him.

"Ma Tao, please don't do this!"

"We've officially met each other's parents, and you're my future wife," Ma Tao said proudly, grabbing Zhang Li's hand.

“But I haven’t broken up with Li Ming yet! I can’t…” Zhang Li shook her head, looking distressed.

“Just tell him he’ll break up with you if he can’t become a ticket inspector. That guy won’t be a ticket inspector. The new guy is no ordinary person,” Ma Tao said confidently.

"Isn't he just a poor kid? How did he get the ticket inspector job?" Zhang Li still couldn't understand why Director Wu would assign such a good job as ticket inspector to the newcomer who clearly looked like a country bumpkin.

"I inquired about it, but that kid wouldn't tell me. I noticed that Director Wu lost his attitude when he saw the letter of introduction. You know Director Wu, he would never work for free without any benefits. That kid must have some connections, and Director Wu is trying to curry favor with him."

As Ma Tao answered Zhang Li's questions, his hands became increasingly restless.
