Chapter 42
"Actually, I have a rough idea of what you want me to do. It's no big deal."
Xu Weiyi skipped the pleasantries and said simply, "I can do it. Just pay me enough."
Shen Fengni's gaze swept over the pretty girl sitting opposite him.
Xu Weiyi was wearing a loose trendy brand T-shirt today, a baseball cap on his head, and very short pants, almost reaching his thighs.
Next to her was a washed canvas bag, which was loose and looked like it had been used for some time, with the edges badly worn.
Because of her good looks, Xu Weiyi is still beautiful even when dressed casually like this, but the overall style is somewhat out of tune with the high-end Western restaurant they are currently in.
Jiang Zhuoyan said calmly: "How much do you want?"
"At least ten thousand." Xu Weiyi immediately quoted a price, having clearly given it careful consideration before coming. "If I get beaten, you'll have to cover my medical expenses, too."
Shen Fengni: ...
In a sense, dealing with a simple person like Xu Weiyi is quite easy. Although Xu Weiyi doesn't look rich, he is not greedy and doesn't ask for an exorbitant price.
She paused, "Okay, but this shouldn't happen."
The door to the private room opened, and a well-dressed waiter walked in, carrying a sizzling steak on a plate. The moment the lid was lifted, the steak sizzled, and the aroma filled the room.
Xu Weiyi's stomach seemed to growl. She frowned at the two rows of knives and forks in front of her and said to the waiter, "Didn't you tell me to bring me a pair of chopsticks?"
She was not used to using a knife and fork at all, so she made this request when the appetizer was served, but it has not been met yet.
"Sorry, we don't have chopsticks in our shop." The waiter maintained a polite smile and placed something in front of her. "I found some disposable ones temporarily. Do you think they are okay?"
Xu Weiyi's eyes lit up, "Of course."
She picked up the whole steak with chopsticks, took a bite, and said vaguely, "Then let's just say it's a done deal. What else is there...hiss, it's so hot."
"Eat slowly." Shen Fengni laughed, "I have a few questions for you."
Jiang Zhuoyan originally wanted to meet him at a coffee shop, but Xu Weiyi said he was hungry, so they changed the venue temporarily. Fortunately, Jiang Zhuoyan was a VIP customer of the restaurant, so she didn't have to bother making an appointment in advance.
Xu Weiyi swallowed the food in his mouth and wiped the corner of his lips with a tissue. "Go ahead."
"First, what is your relationship with Yu Qian now?"
Shen Fengni looked into her eyes and asked seriously.
"We broke up. We haven't been in touch since." Xu Weiyi said it casually, seemingly unconcerned. "It was the day before your wedding. She broke up with me."
Shen Fengni's eyes moved, "Did she tell her the reason for the breakup?"
She wasn't gossiping about Yu Qian's private life, but since they were discussing cooperation, she needed to understand Xu Weiyi's current state of mind and his attitude towards Yu Qian, so she asked about their emotional entanglement.
"She said she has a fiancée and is getting married tomorrow, and asked me not to contact her anymore. As if she was afraid I wouldn't believe her, she even showed me a photo of the two of you."
Xu Weiyi took another big bite of steak and said as he ate, "Actually, she doesn't have to be like this. I knew from the beginning that she was just playing around with me, and I'm not the only one she has. But I don't care. She's beautiful, and most importantly, she's rich. I won't suffer any loss."
When talking about "rich", Xu Weiyi obviously strengthened his tone and emphasized it.
It seems that the reason why Xu Weiyi is with Yu Qian is largely because of money.
That's easy.
A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
Shen Fengni nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask, "Next question, how long have you been with Yu Qian?"
"Not long, let me take a look..." Xu Weiyi took out his mobile phone and flipped through the chat history.
She openly showed the interface to the two of them, "Look, it's not even been two months since I added you as a friend in May."
It hasn't been long, so there shouldn't be any emotional basis.
Besides, Yu Qian has other people with her, so there is even less time left for Xu Weiyi.
Chen Fengni and Jiang Zhuoyan exchanged glances and both had an idea in their minds.
Xu Weiyi is a very suitable partner.
"Okay, I understand. I have one last question."
Shen Fengni tapped the table lightly, indicating that she could take the phone back. "What's your bottom line?"
Afraid that Xu Weiyi didn't understand, she kindly explained, "It's just, when you get to the scene, you can do it to a certain extent."
"Bottom line? I don't have a bottom line."
Xu Weiyi was very straightforward and didn't hesitate for a second. "As long as the money is enough, anything is fine."
After saying that, she lowered her head and continued to struggle with the food on her plate.
He eats voraciously, showing no manners at all.
Somehow, Shen Fengni felt a little complicated.
Before coming, Jiang Zhuoyan asked someone to investigate Xu Weiyi's background.
Xu Weiyi, who had just turned twenty, was born in a slum on the outskirts of the city. Her parents had died young, and her other relatives weren't well off financially, so no one wanted to bother with her, a burden.
Xu Weiyi stopped studying after graduating from junior high school. He wandered around the society, working everywhere and suffered a lot to make a living.
Later, as she grew older, Xu Weiyi became more and more beautiful. By chance, she was noticed by the owner of a nightclub and was hired as a waitress. Only then did her life become a little more stable.
It was in that store that she met Yu Qian.
Shen Fengni's gaze lingered on Xu Weiyi's cheap metal bracelet for a moment, then looked at the logo on her collar.
The T-shirt must be a high imitation. One of the letters is spelled wrong, which looks a bit funny.
Shen Fengni was a little confused.
Yu Qian has always been generous to her lovers, but looking at Xu Weiyi's current clothes and appearance, it doesn't look like his living standard has improved.
Moreover, Xu Weiyi kept saying that as long as the money was enough, it would be fine, but he only asked for 10,000 yuan.
Jiang Zhuoyan had the same question and looked at Xu Weiyi with a scrutinizing gaze.
Then she asked directly, "Doesn't Yu Qian usually give you money?"
"Yes, but not much," Xu Weiyi answered calmly, seemingly not offended at all. "All in all, it's about 20,000 yuan."
Shen Fengni took a breath and understood.
Xu Weiyi has known Yu Qian for nearly two months, but he only took such a small amount of money?
No wonder Xu Weiyi only asked for 10,000 yuan. It turned out that the money he earned in a day was equivalent to Yu Qian's monthly salary.
But based on her understanding of Yu Qian, she shouldn't be so stingy, right?
Shen Fengni hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but said, "Don't you think... uh, this income is a bit low?"
"Who says not?" Xu Weiyi finished his meal and leaned back lazily. "But there was nothing I could do. Yu Qian liked the other one more at the time and her attention was all on that person. And even if it was ten thousand a month, it was still much more than what I could earn as a waiter."
A bank card was pushed in front of him, making Xu Weiyi sit up straight instantly.
Her eyes widened. "I haven't done anything yet, why are you paying me first?"
"Here's fifty thousand dollars. The PIN is on the back of the card."
Jiang Zhuoyan ignored her question and said calmly, "After the matter is done, I will give you another 50,000."
"Did you hear wrongly?" Xu Weiyi's pupils trembled, and his heartbeat quickened. "I just said ten thousand, not a hundred thousand."
She worked in a nightclub and had seen many customers who would make a scene or throw things in the club over a disagreement, so she didn't find Chen Fengni and the others' request difficult at all.
Jiang Zhuoyan had already withdrawn his hand. The bank card lay alone on the table, like a key to open the door to treasure, shining temptingly under the light.
Xu Weiyi's throat churned, and he didn't dare to reach out to take it.
She felt a little uneasy about getting so much money just for causing trouble.
She asked tentatively: "Or, do you have any special requirements?"
"No other requirements." Jiang Zhuoyan's voice was flat. "The extra money is for your obedience. And, I guarantee that there will be absolutely no mistakes."
She tapped the table with her fingers and continued, "We'll send you the specific details after we've sorted them out. If you have any objections..."
"No objection, I guarantee to complete the task." Xu Weiyi felt relieved after hearing this and happily put the bank card into his bag. "Then I'll wait for you to contact me. Thank you, boss."
Xu Weiyi left contentedly, leaving only Chen Fengni and Jiang Zhuoyan in the private room.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm giving you the money. Please check it."
Shen Fengni took out her cell phone and planned to transfer money to Jiang Zhuoyan.
Just now, when Jiang Zhuoyan suddenly took out the bank card, she was as shocked as Xu Weiyi.
She really wanted to stop Jiang Zhuoyan's behavior on the spot, but if the two of them started arguing over who would pay in front of Xu Weiyi, it would seem ungraceful.
So Shen Fengni held back and didn't ask for the money back until Xu Weiyi left.
These days, her income from live streaming has increased several times compared to usual. Coupled with the high consumption of Yu Qian and Zhezhi that day, paying 100,000 yuan is not a difficult thing.
However, before Shen Fengni finished entering the amount, a soft hand reached out, pulled out her phone, and directly pressed the lock screen button.
"It's just a small favor, you're welcome."
Jiang Zhuoyan put her phone aside, as if to convince her, and gave her a reason, "Yu Qian and I have a grudge, so I am happy to do this. You don't need to feel any burden."
"That won't work. You've already helped me so much. How can I ask you to pay again?"
Shen Fengni was a little surprised, but still insisted.
In her two lifetimes, she had never heard of any conflict between Yu Qian and Jiang Zhuoyan. Logically speaking, even if Yu Qian had the guts, she wouldn't dare to provoke Jiang Zhuoyan.
However, given Yu Qian's bad personality, it's possible that she had offended someone unintentionally.
In short, Chen Fengni felt that it definitely wasn't Jiang Zhuoyan's problem.
"I'll pay for it," Shen Fengni said. "I've caused you so much trouble. If there's any grudge, then consider it a token of my gratitude."
"I want something else as a thank you."
A moment later, she heard Jiang Zhuoyan's voice.
It was very light, like a murmur to oneself, mixed with complex emotions that were difficult to detect.
Shen Fengni's breathing paused for a beat, and her voice unconsciously became softer, as if she was coaxing a child, "Then what do you want?"
Jiang Zhuoyan was silent for a moment, "Keep it secret for now."
She sighed softly, "I'll tell you after this is over."
