Chapter 172 Looking for a Job
Lin Xi nodded, "Maybe."
She has no plans to flee Connecticut for the time being.
Three days later, she still needs to contact Song Huaijin to see if there is any news about Professor Zhao.
After all, escaping is just a side job, she is mainly here to save people.
Besides, there was little point in escaping because there were pursuers in three nearby states. She felt that it was more important to hide her whereabouts than to escape.
Brown blinked. "Aren't you here to rob?"
Lin Xi looked at him and raised her eyebrows, "What do you have to steal?"
Brown shrugged. It was true.
In addition to robbing, he lived on welfare most of the time.
Lin Xi added, "I am a law-abiding citizen and will not do anything bad."
Brown pointed at the camera again, "What's this for?"
Irving answered his question, "We are filming a variety show, and we hope you can cooperate." Then he took out his work badge and showed it to Brown.
Brown was skeptical after reading the work permit, but at this moment it seemed that he had no choice but to believe them, as he couldn't beat them.
It was already noon. Lin Xi walked into the kitchen and took a look. There was only some bread and beer in the refrigerator.
There was still some food in her bag, but Lin Xi didn't plan to eat it now. She had to save those things for the critical moment.
She didn't plan to withdraw any more money, and she was happy to have a good meal.
She took out the bread and said to Brown seriously, "You just robbed me and caused great harm to my heart. This little bit of food can make up for my mental loss. Do you think it's okay?"
If it weren't for the need to portray herself as a law-abiding person in front of the camera, she wouldn't have bothered to ask Brown's opinion.
They would not treat Brown, a robber, so politely.
Brown was stunned for two seconds, then nodded stupidly.
Lin Xi found a bottle of jam and spread some on the bread, then took a bottle of water and started eating.
Owen looked at Lin Xi, then took out some bread from his huge backpack and started eating.
When he received the notice that he would be filming Lin Xi, he estimated that Lin Xi would escape to the wilderness, so he specially brought a tent, a sleeping bag, and some food.
Seeing that they were eating happily, Brown took some food and ate on the sofa.
After finishing their meal, Lin Xi politely asked Brown, "Can I borrow your computer?"
Brown nodded.
Lin Xi went online to check out job postings.
After browsing for a while, an advertisement for recruiting a tutor caught her attention.
She looked carefully and found that the job was located in the city, looking for an F language teacher for a twelve-year-old girl.
Lin Xi wrote down the phone number, cleared the traces on the computer, and smiled at Brown, "Can I borrow some of your phone numbers?"
Brown was numb and threw the phone to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi walked into the room and Owen followed in carrying a camera.
After closing the door, Lin Xi started making a phone call.
After talking for about ten minutes, Lin Xi hung up the phone, deleted the call history, then opened her travel bag, took off her leather jacket, and put on an ordinary coat.
Then she went to the bathroom to wash off her smoky makeup.
When she came out again, Lin Xi was wearing glasses and looked quiet and friendly, like a girl next door.
Brown was so surprised that he could hardly believe that this was the same gangster girl from before.
He said blankly: "Are you an actor?"
Lin Xi smiled and nodded.
Brown looked at the bag in her hand and asked, "Are you leaving?"
Although he had not completely let down his guard against these two uninvited guests, he felt a little reluctant to see Lin Xi leave.
Maybe I've lived alone for too long.
Lin Xi smiled and said, "I have to go out for something. Maybe I need to come back to your place to stay tonight. Is that okay?"
Brown nodded repeatedly, "No problem."
Owen put away the camera and followed Lin Xi out.
In order to avoid leaving any information, Lin Xi did not take a taxi and chose to walk.
As they walked, Owen asked, "Where are we going?"
Lin Xi observed her surroundings, trying to avoid the cameras, and then said, "I plan to find a job to support myself."
"Now for the interview."
After walking for more than half an hour, Lin Xi stood in front of a villa and rang the doorbell.
After a while, someone came to open the door. It was a slightly plump white woman.
She looked at Lin Xi for a long moment, "Are you Luna, the one applying for the F language teacher position?"
Lin Xi smiled and nodded. The woman pointed at Owen and asked, "Who is he?"
Owen once again took out his press card and work badge to show the woman.
The woman asked in confusion, "So, you're filming something? Can I ask what show it is?"
Owen was about to speak when Lin Xi spoke first, "This program is about testing how a person can survive without an ID card and without any identity."
"So now I have no place to live and no money to eat."
"I can only find a job to support myself."
Perhaps it was Lin Xi's quiet temperament that convinced the woman, and she invited Lin Xi and Owen in.
Owen quickly took out his camera and put it on his shoulder to start filming.
The woman looked at Lin Xi for a long time. "You really can speak French, but you look like an Oriental."
Lin Xi nodded and said in French, "I'm Asian. I can speak French, Chinese, and Portuguese. I think I can be a qualified tutor for your child."
The two talked for a while, and the woman decided to let Lin Xi try first.
Lin Xi taught a class to a twelve-year-old girl, and the woman listened beside her the whole time. After the class, the woman was very satisfied, and Lin Xi successfully got the job.
When the woman learned that Lin Xi had no place to live, she said she could provide Lin Xi with a room and allow him to use her kitchen, but in exchange for a reduction in his salary.
Lin Xi agreed, went to the room in the attic and settled down.
At this moment, the members of the pursuit team had checked the surveillance footage near the bank and found that they had quickly lost track of Lin Xi.
After investigating the hotel room, no clues were found, so Song Huaijin was asked again.
No matter what they asked, Song Huaijin only had four words, "No comment."
The investigators were at their wit's end, so they secretly placed a bug in Song Huaijin's hotel room and left.
For three consecutive days, the investigators did not find any trace of Lin Xi.
Three of the ordinary people who escaped with Lin Xi have been caught.
The time for Lin Xi and Song Huaijin to meet has arrived.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Xi closed the door and left quietly through the window.
The place I agreed to meet with Song Huaijin was a bar near the hotel.
Since the day Lin Xi left, Song Huaijin has been coming to the bar every night and sitting for about an hour.
Behavior must be consistent so as not to be easily suspected.
At this moment, the investigators from the pursuit team were monitoring Song Huaijin not far away.
