Chapter 117: Too miserable
Therefore, when meeting Jiang Xin's inquiring gaze, Lin Ye was still somewhat embarrassed.
At first, he didn't take Jiang Xin's words to heart, because in his mind, washing lunch boxes was just a small matter. He thought that he could just go to a store, borrow the kitchen, and wash them. Basically no one would refuse.
But the truth of this matter was very different from what he thought.
Not only did he run into obstacles everywhere, but he was also regarded as a malicious competitor who wanted to steal their recipe, and was kicked out of the store.
Lin Ye was embarrassed to say these words in front of Jiang Xin, for fear that she would make fun of him.
I didn't expect that he, a grown man in his late twenties, wouldn't think as much about these things as Jiang Xin, a young girl.
If I tell this to others, won't people laugh at me?
Therefore, after meeting Jiang Xin's gaze, Lin Ye was still somewhat evasive.
He was afraid that Jiang Xin would see through the series of embarrassing things that had just happened to him.
Because during these days, through the contact these days, Lin Ye discovered that Jiang Xin was not ordinary smart. Basically, there was nothing that could be hidden from her.
So, after realizing the meaning of Jiang Xin's inquiry.
Lin Ye chose to conceal the truth directly. He concealed everything that had just happened. In the end, he only had one sentence:
"I went to check the shops nearby and they were all busy, so I didn't bother them."
"So after I ran a lap, I went to the small river next to the town and washed the lunch box. Although it's a bit far, there's plenty of water and it can be washed clean."
After saying these few words briefly, Lin Ye simply chose to shut up.
He didn't mention anything else. Anyway, he had completed the task. The process was not important at all. What was important was whether the result was right.
When he was talking, Jiang Xin saw all the evasive looks in his eyes.
Jiang Xin was not stupid. She could immediately understand what had happened as soon as she thought about it.
What Lin Ye encountered should have been within her expectations.
However, Lin Ye didn't want to tell her, so Jiang Xin simply kept silent. After all, no one wants others to know about their embarrassing behavior.
Jiang Xin curled her lips and smiled, then said:
"Thank you for your hard work. Just wash the lunch box."
After saying this, Jiang Xin did not rush to leave the vegetable market, but continued to sit in front of the stall, thinking that she would wait until there were more people and see what the customers were interested in on their stall. If there were any, she would take out more from the space when she came out to set up the stall tomorrow.
Lin Ye originally thought that Jiang Xin would be in a hurry to leave after seeing him come back. After all, he believed that Jiang Xin probably didn't like the environment of setting up a stall.
As a result, I didn't expect that she was still sitting there and had no intention of leaving.
But, after all, he is the boss, and it is unreasonable for him to chase the boss away and not let him watch the stall here.
So, the two of them just sat there, and it was really awkward for a while, a bit like when you were working there and your boss was right next to you, staring at you and supervising you.
Although Lin Ye was not the kind of person who would do anything sneaky, he was not used to being stared at like this.
He tried his best to appear calm and not be too flustered. The only thing he needed to do was not to make any mistakes at work.
At this time, people have all come out to eat, so there are still quite a few people coming to the market to think about what vegetables to eat for dinner. Therefore, there are quite a lot of people in the market at this moment.
The flow of people gradually increased.
Someone else came to their stall and picked and chose. After Lin Ye sold two items, he suddenly seemed to remember something. He looked up at Jiang Xin, then took out the one dollar that she had just handed to him from his pocket.
He wanted to spend it, but he couldn't.
Lin Ye just didn't want Jiang Xin to know about the embarrassing things she had just done, so the words on his lips could only become:
"Boss, I'm going to return this dollar to you. I asked the shop owner to borrow the faucet from him just now, but he refused to lend it to me without saying a word. I didn't use the money, and it doesn't feel right to keep it in my pocket, so I'll return it to you."
"I just forgot about it when I came back. I was only busy checking the things on the stall to see if they were sold. I forgot to return the dollar to you. Now that I remember it, I should give it to you."
Lin Ye was a relatively honest and simple person. Even to Jiang Xin, he did not ask whether the money had been spent.
He still chose to tell the truth and return the money to Jiang Xin.
After all, as an employee, it is already very good for him to gain the trust of his boss.
How could he have the courage to keep other people's money? Besides, Jiang Xin paid him sixty yuan a month.
What else could he not be satisfied with?
Jiang Xin was very kind to him. If it weren't for her, he would have disappeared by now.
Therefore, he must know how to give back to others.
He couldn't bully a young girl just because he was older. He knew very well that although Jiang Xin was young, she was very smart and nothing he did could be hidden from her eyes.
Jiang Xin lowered her head and looked at the dollar. She already had a guess in her mind. After all, Lin Ye took so long to wash the lunch box.
I guess it just ran into obstacles everywhere and finally had no choice but to run to the river to wash.
It was about the same time as she had estimated.
So, when Lin Ye returned the one dollar to her, she instantly realized what was going on.
Originally, Jiang Xin was just guessing, but now, she was 100% sure that Lin Ye must have been frustrated when he was discussing with the store about washing lunch boxes.
Otherwise, if he handed the dollar to the shop owners, those people would probably ask him to wash their lunch boxes.
So, combining these clues, one can imagine how unlucky he was just now.
Jiang Xin suddenly felt a little sympathy for Lin Ye. It was really hard for him to go around asking where he could wash his lunch box in the hot sun in the middle of the day.
As a result, he ended up in such a miserable state.
