Chapter 642: Stories within Stories

There is always a first time in life.

Lin Yiyi was disliked for being dirty, so she could only sit in the trunk of a black car.

She wanted to jump out of the car and run away several times, but the speed of the car discouraged her from doing so.

I guess his legs and feet are probably broken.

The neon night scene in Hong Kong is completely different from the dark night in the north, which makes Lin Yiyi, who has been away from modern times for more than a month, feel a little more at home.

After passing the city, we arrived at a place that looked like a warehouse.

Lin Yiyi was dragged to a chair for interrogation. Seven or eight men were sitting on boxes scattered around. Although their faces could not be seen clearly, they were probably not good people.

As long as they are not perverts seeking revenge against society, there is still hope.

"As for the compensation, how are you going to repay it?"

Lin Yiyi rubbed her messy hair, making herself look even uglier and sloppier, "…Is it okay to pay in installments?"

“……”I didn’t expect that the country girl was so fashionable and even knew about installment payments.

Ding Yan sneered, "Do you know how much compensation you have to pay? In installments, 10 years or 100 years?"

"Brother, you have to tell me the number, right?"

"One hundred thousand."

Lin Yiyi was choked for a moment, and quickly asked again: "Can I ask, what is the average salary here?"

"The average citizen earns around 900, and jobs with education pay more."

"..." It looks like it will have to be paid in installments over many years.

Lin Yiyi has always been quite courageous. If a problem cannot be solved head-on, she can only do the opposite.

"How about this, brother, let me make a deal with you. You can lend me some more money and I can invest in some business.

If I make money, I can pay you back quickly. I don’t think I can afford it if I have to work to earn money.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the people around her were all amused by what the country girl said.

"Hahahahahahaha, this is the first time you've encountered a woman who's plotting against us. You're really brave."

Lin Yiyi was just talking nonsense and just wanted to get through this hurdle first.

Once she gets familiar with this city, she will naturally find a way.

"Don't laugh, I'm serious, how about this, I'll do the laundry, cooking and cleaning for Big Brother.

I don't want the salary, can this be used to pay off the debt?"

Ding Yan looked disgusted and said, "You are quite a dreamer."

I shouldn't have brought her back just now. I should have just nailed her down and sent her away.

"You have to pay your debts. This won't work, that won't work. Can you give me some advice, big brother?"

Lin Yiyi kept calling him "brother" and added shamelessly, "Let me make it clear first, I won't do anything illegal or criminal."

These words caused several people to sneer, "When you stand up, you are not much taller than the impact gun, and you are quite good at bragging."

Ding Yan waved to his men, "You go out first."

After they walked out, he spoke, "Just now you said you can do laundry and cooking, so I can consider giving you a chance.

As long as you can successfully get close to someone and stay with him, I can write off the debt you owe me."

"good."

Lin Yiyi didn't think much about it and agreed immediately.

Ding Yan thought he would have to spend more time talking, but she was so straightforward. "You agreed without asking who it is?"

Lin Yiyi flattered him again, "No matter who he is, I will complete the task assigned by Big Brother."

Does she have the choice to say no?

No matter what it is, just agree to it first and take it one step at a time.

Ding Yan smiled, "Country girl, you are quite sensible."

Apart from being dirty, he is quite pleasing in everything he says and does.

....

He kept calling her a country girl. Lin Yiyi rolled her eyes in her heart and cursed him a hundred times.

I have escaped the disaster temporarily, and I have found a job, but good and bad fortunes come one after another.

Because she had to be assigned some tasks, Lin Yiyi was temporarily kept in the warehouse for one night, and the company humanely bought her a box of fried rice and a cup of milk tea as a midnight snack.

The next morning, Ding Yan arranged for Ade to take her to apply for a Linggang City resident ID card.

After getting the documents in the afternoon, A De gave her 100 Hong Kong dollars and left her alone.

"I'll contact you if there's anything, and get the things Brother Yan has arranged for you done as soon as possible."

Lin Yiyi looked at the address in the newspaper, feeling a little confused. She put the money in her pocket and smiled politely at the person.

"...Thank you, brother Ade. Can I ask again, which bus number should I take to get to Mid-Levels?"

It was already late, so Ade patiently took her to the platform, explained the route in more detail, and gave her a few coins for the ride.

Lin Yiyi was afraid of thieves, so she carried the cloth bag in front of her, took the tram for a few stops, and then changed to a minibus to 9 Kennedy Road in the Mid-Levels.

The wealthy area and the urban area are indeed different, whether it was decades ago or decades later.

Western-style villas and well-planned quiet environments are both signs of wealthy people.

Lin Yiyi compared the house number with the address in the newspaper again, and after confirming that it was correct, she pressed the doorbell.

The bell rang for a few seconds, and a security guard came out, looked her up and down, and asked politely, "Miss, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, I'm here to apply for a domestic servant position."

"Please wait a moment."

…

After waiting for a while, Butler Mo came out to receive the applicants in the guard room.

I asked her a few simple questions and decided to keep her for a trial period if I thought she was a good match for me.

Lin Yiyi was secretly delighted and quickly expressed her gratitude, thinking that half of the debt problem had been solved.

Housekeeper Mo took her to the small building in the backyard and talked to her about the salary while walking, "The probation period is 7 days, and the daily salary is 30 Hong Kong dollars.

If you pass the probation period, the monthly salary is HK$1,600, and there are additional red envelopes for holidays.”

When you look at a wealthy family’s home, you should look at the gardening landscape, which exudes sophistication and Western aesthetics everywhere.

Lin Yiyi followed him all the way, and only regretted that she was not rich.

However, when she arrived at the small room where she was going to live, Lin Yiyi's eyes were somewhat disappointed.

The two-story building was for servants to live in, and her room was a small warehouse separated under the stairs.

A vent slightly larger than a palm is the window, and under the staircase is a single bed.

There is nothing else.

Lin Yiyi took two big steps and measured it briefly, estimating that it was only 4 square meters.

“There are no extra rooms, so you’ll stay here for now. There are shared bathrooms upstairs and downstairs.

I will have someone bring you work clothes later, and you can learn how to do things from her and eat with her."

After arranging everything, Butler Mo turned and left.

Lin Yiyi reached out and touched the bed sheets and quilt covers. There was no dust and they were quite clean.

She was very satisfied with having a place to stay, but the bed was under the steps and there were no windows, which made her feel very depressing.

She sat waiting for half an hour when there was a knock on the door.

"You are Lin Yiyi, right? I'm Xia Fu, you can just call me Xiao Fu."

Xia Fu was stunned by her appearance for a moment, but soon smiled and started talking to her about her work.

In the next few days, she took Lin Yiyi to do things.

The two of them were of similar age and quickly became familiar with each other.

After being here for several days, Lin Yiyi still hadn't seen the person she was supposed to pay attention to, and she felt a little anxious.

But before the probation period was over, she didn't dare to ask more questions.

I was afraid that people would misunderstand that I was here to hook up with the rich young master.

Time flies and the New Year is approaching day by day.

The Ding family is short of staff, and it is difficult to find servants who do not have holidays at this time of year.

Although Lin Yiyi's work was not very good, she was lucky enough to be kept.

…

There was heavy snow in Ze County in the north.

Ever since returning to the north, Zhao Sheng felt as if he had been separated from something. The familiar place made him feel no sense of belonging.

Thinking of that woman, he gnashed his teeth in hatred.

Rather than hatred, it is more of anger and resentment.

I was angry that she abandoned me after having sex with me.

Blame her for just abandoning him and walking away.

Abandon? Thinking of this word, Zhao Sheng laughed at himself again.

At night in the dormitory, He Qi brought back a bottle of white wine, intending to drink some to warm his body.

I had only taken a few bites of the bowl of noodles when a quarter of the white wine was gone.

He raised his eyes to look at Zhao Sheng who had a sullen face, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Do you want to drink water or wine?

Something was wrong since the last time you came back, and something is even more wrong this time."

"Did something happen? Tell me and maybe I can help you."

Zhao Sheng gave him a sidelong look, then poured half of the enamel jar of white wine and took a sip. It burned his lungs and made him feel spicy. He just shook his head and said, "Nothing."

He Qi finished the remaining plain noodles in a few mouthfuls and advised, "Are you okay drinking like this? Don't force yourself if you have problems.

If there is no snack, you should drink less. You and I have to go to the provincial capital tomorrow."

He drank the remaining wine in the teacup in a few gulps. He didn't feel drunk at all, but his mind became clearer and clearer.

Zhao Sheng had never known what it felt like to miss someone before, but now he really felt that kind of uncomfortable feeling, and he wanted to put everything here aside and go to the south to find her.

Go find her and ask her for clarification.

Is it possible to do anything for any occasion?

She was a liar and a hooligan, and he wished he could strangle her to death with his own hands.

My heart is fickle, I hate her and worry about her at the same time.

A woman goes to Hong Kong alone. Does she really think life there will be so easy?

Three parts missing her, two parts blaming her, one part hurting his self-esteem, and the rest was the ridiculous feeling that Zhao Sheng didn't want to admit but couldn't explain.

How could he forget the 19 days she spent with him day and night?
