The atmosphere seemed to freeze.
Qin Feng quickly hung up the phone, forced a sheepish smile at Yu Wan, and wished he could just die on the spot.
As Yu Wan's brows furrowed deeper, his heart pounded as if it would explode, and his palms were covered in a sticky, sweaty sweat. Mom, this is so hard for him! Why is fate putting such a small person like him through such a difficult time?!
However, the next moment...
"You're here to collect a debt from Tang Yue?" Yu Wan suddenly realized, conjuring up a story in her mind about someone disguising themselves as a food delivery worker to collect a debt.
Qin Feng: "?"
Just then, a gentle voice sounded from behind: "That's right, he's here to collect the debt."
Qin Feng: "???"
His boss strode over with long legs, his expression indifferent, but his tone was somewhat helpless: "But I don't have the money to give him."
He suggested, "How about you settle this month's salary in advance?"
After receiving a subtle apology from his boss, Qin Feng put on his best acting skills, put his hands on his hips, and said with his nose in the air, "That's right, if you don't pay me back now, I'll come to your house and cause trouble every day."
Yu Wan narrowed her eyes and glanced over.
His clean, clear eyes were as calm as a cold pool, extremely aloof.
Qin Feng shuddered, feeling his heart clench suddenly, a chill creeping up his spine as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His face paled, and he desperately tried to signal to his boss with his eyes.
In Yu Wan's view, that appearance was a warning to Tang Yue.
"It's my fault for bringing trouble home. You go inside first, I'll handle this." Tang Yue smiled gently, "I bought some milk and put it in the warmer, it's your favorite brand."
Yu Wan raised an eyebrow unhappily: "Why buy milk when you don't even have any money?" That brand of milk isn't cheap, and he only has a few hundred yuan on him, which he's probably already spent.
Tang Yue said earnestly, "You're my boss now, so of course I have to serve you well. What if I don't do something right and you dock my pay?"
A sudden sense of powerlessness, and a heavy feeling, welled up in Yu Wan's heart. After a long while, she helplessly uttered, "You really are... very professional."
Tang Yue smiled and said, "It's my pleasure."
The tightness in my chest felt even worse.
"After all, there aren't many employers like you who are good-looking, generous, and very reasonable. I have to work hard so that someone else doesn't quietly take my place." He deliberately bit the last sentence lightly, as if conveying a different meaning.
Unfortunately, Yu Wan didn't recognize it.
"...Stop flattering me!" Yu Wan felt extremely pleased after being flattered. She glanced at Qin Feng and asked, "How much money does he owe you?"
Qin Feng, who was in the background, was already lost in thought because of his boss's sudden change in appearance. When she asked him a question, he blurted out, "One hundred thousand."
Tang Yue: "..." What a terrible teammate!
Yu Wan was speechless, her eyes filled with sympathy: "Just to chase after 100,000 yuan? You... you're quite hardworking."
She opened WeChat, and as if remembering something, her expression stiffened slightly. Then she glared fiercely at Tang Yue: "Add me as a friend."
Tang Yue raised an eyebrow.
I just successfully added him as a friend again, and I received a money transfer in WeChat.
A friend transferred 200,000 yuan to you.
He looked at Yu Wan.
Yu Wan awkwardly turned her face away: "Don't misunderstand, the rest is for household use. I'm mainly worried that we won't have milk to drink in the future."
After a pause, she added fiercely, "Also, don't order takeout next time, lest word get out and I lose face."
Tang Yue smiled and nodded.
After talking for so long, Yu Wan felt a little thirsty, so she walked past him into the kitchen. Her expression changed when she saw the milk in the warmer. After opening and closing the warmer several times, she turned sideways, opened the refrigerator door, took out a bottle of iced cola, and then shuffled back to the living room in her slippers, sitting on the sofa.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the computer on the table. The computer screen displayed code that only professionals could understand.
Yu Wan looked at it carefully several times and found that she recognized the words individually, but she didn't understand them at all when they were put together.
Hearing footsteps coming from behind her, she turned her gaze away without looking to the side, even crossing her legs in a boss-like manner, appearing lazy and arrogant.
Tang Yue reached for the laptop and gently closed it.
"Are you doing a side hustle?" Yu Wan asked casually.
Tang Yue turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of grievance.
Yu Wan: "..."
The way she looked at him made it seem like she had done something to wrong him.
It's a huge injustice!
Tang Yue turned the computer back on, tapped the keyboard twice, and then turned the screen in front of her.
The computer screen displays a Douyu live streaming page, but the rightmost position shows a series of program codes.
Yu Wan gripped the cola bottle tightly, an inexplicable emotion welling up in her chest. Suddenly realizing something, her cherry lips parted slightly: "You..."
"It's because I hacked the Douyu platform and permanently banned the Jiangda e-sports club's account that those debt collectors were able to track down my location based on my ID," Tang Yue explained. "Sorry, my skills are too poor. I'll definitely be more vigilant next time."
He lowered his eyelids.
From Yu Wan's perspective, her long eyelashes trembled, as if she felt guilty for causing her trouble due to her mistake.
"...You watched the live stream?" Yu Wan was speechless.
Tang Yue nodded.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
Yu Wan couldn't understand Tang Yue's purpose in doing this. They didn't even have a contract, so Tang Yue really didn't need to go to such lengths.
After thinking for a long time, she finally came to a conclusion: Tang Yue is a perfectionist!
I strive for perfection in everything I do.
"By the way, I need your help with something," Tang Yue said. "I have a creditor in Liaocheng who wants me to come in person to negotiate. Could you help me book a ticket?"
Yu Wan frowned: "Why would I need you to come to our door to negotiate for no reason? Wouldn't that mean... you'll never come back?"
Tang Yue shook his head and speculated, "Perhaps they're afraid I'll run away?"
"Didn't your second uncle start Genesis Entertainment?" Yu Wan asked疑惑地. "Genesis is doing quite well. You're all family, why doesn't he lend you some money?"
Tang Yue pursed his lips and remained silent.
Yu Wan instantly understood and suddenly felt sorry for Tang Yue. Not only did he have no friends, but his only two relatives were also in dire straits: one had suffered a stroke, and the other refused to help him.
The atmosphere was silent.
Yu Wan was trying to think of something to break the ice when her phone rang. It was Huang San calling.
"Sister Yu, the seller we contacted suddenly said they wouldn't sell anymore." Huang San's voice was somewhat anxious. "The information I've gathered is that the Gao Group contacted them. Is it because you beat Gao Lingyang last time, and he's holding a grudge?"
Yu Wan glanced at the mission timer subconsciously; there were only forty minutes left.
The situation is quite tricky.
