Chapter 101 "Give me one million."
In early October, the Shanghai market was still sweltering.
In a milk tea shop on C Da Nanmen Commercial Street, the machines are running non-stop and the staff are busy serving food.
Boss Wang was walking around in the kitchen, scolding in a low voice, "Use less fresh milk! Use less! They can't tell the difference."
"You don't feel bad if it's not your turn to pay, right?"
After giving instructions on this side, he turned his attention to the other side and asked, "Why did you throw away such a good mango?"
He reached out and picked up the mango from the trash can, only to notice that the skin on the other side of the mango was black and was oozing sticky juice.
He frowned and put the mango back on the counter. "Just peel this side off."
“They wouldn’t know even if it was cut into small pieces.”
Li Yuan, who works part-time, couldn't help but turn her head to look at the black-hearted boss Wang.
I happened to see a hand wearing a black latex glove naturally pushing the mango into the trash can.
Her eyes suddenly widened.
Boss Wang was also stunned. It took him a few seconds to react and he let out a sharp roar, "Xu Wei, what are you doing!"
Xu Wei had already taken off his gloves and was cleaning the contaminated workbench. He said calmly, "Thirty-one cups of mango ice milk, use something good."
Huh? So direct?
Li Yuan was so shocked that her mouth opened under the mask and she took a breath.
She looked at Xu Wei, then nervously turned to look at the other employees in the store, but saw that they were busy working, ignoring her.
Boss Wang was already furious. "I'm opening a shop, not doing charity!"
"I was wondering why the income from my shop is getting less and less. It turns out that I've asked you to be a good person."
"The money for the mango just now will be deducted from your salary."
Xu Wei's men kept moving, remaining calm. "I'm following the standard procedures. If you're worried, you can check the surveillance."
"That mango is already rotten. If you insist on docking my salary, I'm going to quit."
Boss Wang's face trembled with anger, and the words were about to come out of his mouth.
Li Yuan was inspired by Xu Wei's words. She put the packed milk tea at the serving counter and whispered, "Boss Wang, I also think we shouldn't sell rotten mangoes to customers."
"If you're going to fire Xu Wei for this, you should fire me too."
Xu Wei glanced sideways, raised his drooping eyelids, and looked a little surprised.
Li Yuan straightened her back.
Surprisingly, you're not the only one with the courage to stand up to Boss Wang.
Boss Wang slowly turned his head, his puffy eyes fixed on her. He looked at her for a moment before remembering who she was. "The one September just hired? Li Shi, right?"
His anger finally found an outlet, "You don't have to come tomorrow."
Li Yuan, "Ah?!"
Li Yuan recalled in disbelief, looked at Boss Wang, and then turned to look at Xu Wei.
She knew that the black-hearted boss might fire her, but would she be the only one to be fired?
She screamed in her heart, but she was not an eloquent person, and she could not jump out to accuse Boss Wang of being partial and not firing Xu Wei. Tears welled up in her eyes.
What's this? Has the trend of gender inequality in the workplace spread to Shake Milk Tea?
·
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
Li Yuan received this week's part-time salary from Boss Wang and walked back to the campus dejectedly.
Xu Wei stared at her back for a few seconds before calling out, "Li Yuan."
"Add me on WeChat, I..."
Li Yuan refused bluntly, "No thanks."
She was holding back her anger, clutching her bag and turning around, "I didn't say that for you, I just think it's wrong for him to do that."
When her eyes met Xu Wei's face, her anger was choked.
After working part-time in this milk tea shop for a month, it was the first time she saw Xu Wei's face clearly.
Although Xu Wei's thin eyelids and long eyelashes were very beautiful, she always thought it was the mask that enhanced her look. She didn't expect that there was an even more stunning face under the mask.
His skin is very fair, and his facial lines are delicate and sharp, every curve is carefully carved, his lips are light in color, and his listless expression gives people a sense of coldness and alienation from another dimension.
But men only affect her ability to make money.
Good looks have a greater impact.
Li Yuan looked at him a few more times.
She turned and walked away, but after two steps she turned back.
Xu Wei said something she couldn't refuse.
"I'll recommend some part-time jobs to you."
Li Yuan took out her phone in a flattering manner, "Senior, let me scan you."
After scanning the business card, Li Yuan noticed Xu Wei's profile picture. There was a golden ingot on a white background, and the small Q-version pattern looked sparkling and down-to-earth.
After sending the friend request, she bravely asked, "Senior, can I ask you a question?"
"Yeah." Xu Wei didn't look up. After the application was approved, he found a few suitable part-time jobs in the circle of friends and sent them to her.
The phone was buzzing, but Li Yuan looked at him, "Is Boss Wang your relative?"
Xu Wei raised his eyelids and glanced at her.
Got it, no.
Li Yuan was even more puzzled. "Then why did he fire only me? Was I doing a bad job?"
"My hourly wage is relatively low." Xu Wei didn't plan to talk much. "I sent you a few with contact information. You can find Boss Wang yourself."
Li Yuan, "But I only make 15 in an hour."
She was new to the company and not familiar with the situation in Shanghai. Boss Wang told her the pay was 15 yuan an hour, so she happily started working.
It took me a month to realize how corrupt the boss of this store, Mr. Wang, is!
Part-time job wages nearby are between 18 and 25 per hour, usually in the morning or afternoon.
But her boss, Wang, only paid her 15! Her salary was cut in half, but her workload doubled. Her hours were strictly limited, and it was all during peak hours. She basically never stopped working from the morning until she arrived at the store.
I wanted to quit several times, but I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to find another part-time job, so I had to endure it.
Xu Wei did not stop because of her words. Li Yuan immediately understood that it was even lower than 15!
She gained a deeper understanding of Boss Wang's evil heart.
What a misunderstanding! In the eyes of capitalists, there are no men or women, only cattle and horses.
Li Yuan sighed, and first sent Xu Wei an emoticon of thanks, and then scrolled up to see the part-time job information he sent.
The more I look at it, the bigger my eyes get. The hourly wage at a barbecue restaurant is 28! The hourly wage at a coffee shop is 30!
Li Yuan didn't care about her hunger after a day, and immediately found a quiet place to call and arrange an interview time.
After hanging up the phone, she was still excited and wanted to find Xu Wei to thank her again. She was stupid enough to not recognize him before!
After opening the chat box, Li Yuan belatedly discovered a problem.
According to her observation, Xu Wei worked very efficiently, and he never made any mistakes when they were in the same shift. With that ability, he could have no problem working part-time in any store, right?
Why are you still working under the black-hearted boss Wang?
Li Yuan was very curious and hesitated for a while. Thinking that Xu Wei didn't seem to like to talk to people, she didn't dare to ask. She just gave him a red envelope of thanks and expressed her gratitude in a solemn manner.
Xu Wei didn't reply, and she didn't send him a message. She bought a bun and ate it while heading to the coffee shop to explore.
·
Xu Wei lowered his head and replied to the message without stopping.
Having been at C University for more than three years, he was already familiar with the roads on campus and could walk around with his eyes closed.
Of course, if he didn't have to, he wouldn't even reply to messages on the way.
The milk tea shop I just finished working in not only has low wages but also high work intensity. Basically, I have no time to rest since I arrived at the store, and there are more than 99 unread messages at the end of the day.
Xu Wei dealt with them one by one according to their importance, and simply turned on the Do Not Disturb mode for cases like Li Yuan.
He ignored his roommate's inexplicable expressions.
I just looked at the title of the recruitment notice in the class notification group and swiped away.
I only put on my schedule the matter of choosing a graduation project supervisor next week and grabbing an expert appointment at five o'clock.
At 4:10, Xu Wei saw the message from his sister saying that she had arrived home safely. He checked the location on the children's watch before turning off his phone.
He quickened his pace.
After entering the cafeteria, I walked towards the familiar window without hesitation and started my next part-time job.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Xu Wei rushed to the school library to start his third job of the day.
…
After finishing a day's part-time job, Xu Wei came out of the library after ten o'clock.
He packed a bowl of beef noodles on the way and walked into the dormitory building leisurely.
On Friday night without the pressure of early classes, the students were very busy.
The passionate speeches coming from the dormitory could be heard through the door.
305 is no exception.
C University is a four-person dormitory with a bed above and a desk below. Xu Wei's bed is located near the window at the door.
The moment he pushed open the half-closed door and pulled out the stool, the sounds disappeared one after another.
Xu Wei paused for a moment, then sat down to eat as if nothing had happened.
The three roommates looked at each other, and finally one of them spoke up, "VV, do you know about that?"
Xu Wei remembered the emoticons they sent to the group in the dormitory in the afternoon.
It turns out it's not meaningless.
It wasn't hard to tell from the roommate's cautious tone that it was a bad thing, at least bad for him.
But Xu Wei remained calm. He looked at his roommate and asked, "What's the matter?"
Chen Ping stammered, "The scholarship announcement period ended yesterday..."
Luo Fei couldn't help but say, "Lu Chi said he accidentally deleted your name, and I only found out today when I saw the notice."
Liu Jun concluded, "So you've lost your special scholarship this year."
Xu Wei, "...I understand."
He turned around and continued eating noodles.
Chen Ping looked at him worriedly, "VV, are you okay? Why don't you ask the counselor if there's any way to remedy the situation?"
C University offers many types of scholarships with high amounts, and the scholarships are awarded several times a year.
This is a school scholarship that is awarded regularly at the beginning of each school year. The first prize is higher than the national scholarship, at 12,000 yuan.
Xu Wei's expression was indifferent. "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
He ignored his roommate's sympathetic look, ate his meal, took a shower, lay on the bed and set the alarm clock.
I didn’t get an appointment with the hospital’s specialist this afternoon, so I have to try again tomorrow morning.
You don’t need to get up early in the morning, just arrive at the milk tea shop before 10 o’clock.
I also need to inquire about scholarships, but the teacher probably won't care on weekends.
never mind.
Whatever.
Xu Wei fell down and lay down, almost dead.
"Xu Wei!" Someone slammed the dormitory door loudly.
Before he could be watched, Chen Ping quickly opened the door and said, "Xu Wei is asleep."
Lu Chi pushed Chen Ping's shoulder and stepped inside. "Xu Wei, I'm sorry!"
He went straight to Xu Wei's bed, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to delete your message."
"I wasn't feeling well the day the list was submitted, and I don't know why I deleted your information. I only found out about it today when I saw the college announcement."
"I'm so sorry, this is my fault, I apologize."
"As long as you are willing to forgive me, I will do anything."
Not seeing the expected reaction, Lu Chi became anxious, "Xu Wei, say something!"
Xu Wei had a headache from the noise. He slowly sat up, supporting himself on the bed with his arms, and looked down at the person below him. "You want me to forgive you?"
"Then go to hell."
Lu Chi frowned, "Are you kidding?"
Xu Wei, "Give me one million."
Lu Chi was stunned.
Xu Wei raised his voice slightly, with a hint of mockery, "Not possible?"
Lu Chi argued, "Didn't I just accidentally lose your scholarship? I didn't do it on purpose. Didn't I come to you to discuss compensation?"
"We are classmates after all. I sincerely apologize. Why are you so unreasonable?"
Xu Wei looked at him calmly, "The compressed file you submit to the school must at least include the list of award-winning students, their individual score sheets, their certificates, and the individual score sheets for all students in the class."
"Are you saying that you accidentally and precisely deleted information related to me from three documents and a file package?"
Having said that, Lu Chi also knew that his excuse was a bit far-fetched, but so what?
He shrugged, "I don't remember."
"My computer is in the dormitory, maybe someone else has touched it."
"Now that the public notice period has passed, it can't be changed."
He raised his chin and looked up at Xu Wei, his face full of pride. "Although I made a mistake, you are also responsible. Why didn't you take a good look during the public announcement period to see if you were on the list?"
"It's pitiful, twelve thousand."
"If I remember correctly, part-time jobs in the school cafeteria and library are twelve dollars an hour, five times a week, two or three hours each time. You'd have to work for half a year to earn twelve thousand, right?"
"You have a sick sister waiting to be spent, right?"
Lu Chi almost laughed out loud as he imagined Xu Wei in a state of panic, begging for help everywhere.
When Xu Wei saw him, he found that he was still half-dead. He didn't know what he was pretending to be when he was about to die.
Lu Chi stood there for a while, the silence around him was infuriating.
Xu Wei didn't say a word, and no one else said anything either, making him look like a fool.
Lu Chi wanted to leave but was reluctant. "We are all classmates, and I can't bear to see you suffer so much."
"How about this? Starting tomorrow, you'll help me with my work and I'll pay you fifteen dollars an hour. How about that?"
"Not very good." Xu Wei's voice was tired, without any anger in it. "Get out of here after you've said that."
Lu Chi said so much, he was not indifferent.
He is a little sleepy.
Lu Chi was furious. "Why are you like this? You don't know what's good for you!"
The sound was loud and harsh.
Xu Wei’s sleepiness was completely gone due to the noise.
What's wrong with that attitude? He has worse.
Xu Wei leaned on the railing and got out of bed.
"You know I work part-time for twelve dollars an hour. Do you know why I don't do a higher-paying job?"
"Ha!" Lu Chi couldn't help but laugh at him when he thought about it, "Who doesn't know this?"
"Because whatever you do is yellow!"
Lu Chi touted his "great achievements" to the onlookers. "He went to a KTV, but it was closed that night. He went to work as a helper in a farmhouse, but it rained for seven consecutive days and it completely closed down. He worked as a waiter in a restaurant, but the next day, road construction started in front of the restaurant, blocking the entrance... He wanted to be a tutor, so he found an agency, but after he lost three clients, the agency refunded his money."
"This means you are not destined to be rich. You can only do hard labor that doesn't pay you."
Lu Chi's mood was clear and his eyebrows were bright. "You reminded me. I didn't dare ask you to run errands for me. Who knows what kind of harm you would cause me."
Xu Wei nodded, "I'm glad you know."
His calm attitude made Lu Chi a little disappointed.
His next words made Lu Chi suspicious, "What did you say?!"
Xu Wei repeated patiently, "From now on, I have decided to follow you."
Afraid that Lu Chi wouldn't understand, he kindly explained, "Whatever you do, I'll do."
His excellent memory allowed him to search for the messages he had scanned in the class group in the afternoon.
"I remember there's a CWE briefing tomorrow morning. You said in the group chat that you were going for an interview?"
"I'll go too."
"No, you still want to join CWE? You really don't know how unlucky you are. No matter how good your grades are or how impressive your resume is, it's useless." Lu Chi laughed at him without any hesitation, "The result of your spring recruitment resume is..."
Lu Chi's voice stopped abruptly.
At that moment, he remembered the accident caused by Xu Wei's resume submission during the spring recruitment.
The author has something to say:

A lighthearted short story, updated every night at midnight. [Lop-eared rabbit head]
Next book: "The Vicious Fake Young Master, But a Pretty Fool"
Sheng Xuezhao was born bad.
Ever since he could remember, he had been trying to get his parents to transfer all their property to him.
In order to become the only heir of the Sheng family, he even repeatedly poisoned his elder brother who was six years older than him.
Even after failing, he still did not give up. Every year when he worshipped his ancestors and worshipped the gods, he made a wish to inherit all the property of the Sheng family.
Even though the Sheng family disciplined him strictly, he still found every opportunity to bully others.
He was jealous of the excellence of the top student in the grade and the artistic talent of the poor students, and did everything he could to humiliate them.
Later, it was revealed that he was not a child of the Sheng family, and the person he bullied was the real young master.
His parents, who had always loved him dearly, turned against him and wanted to kick him out of the house.
How could Sheng Xuezhao bear such a gap?
So he turned around and drugged his eldest brother, climbed into his bed, and threatened his eldest brother to marry him.
On the day the real young master returned home, he went downstairs holding his eldest brother's arm, with a proud look on his face.
The enraged father rushed over and raised his hand to slap him, but Sheng Xuezhao did not stubbornly hold his head high.
The slap landed on his eldest brother, knocking off Shengxing's glasses, "Beast!"
Sheng Xuezhao: Eh???
