Chapter 33 The knock on the door was light, then firm. It sounded like a test.
After slamming the door and rushing into the room, Jiang Xiliu immediately contacted Assistant Liao.
She first vented her emotions, cursing Jin Zhao, that bastard, to the bone, and then ordered Assistant Liao: "That idiot must be kicked out of my house today."
Yi Sile had already called Assistant Liao, who initially thought the two were just joking around. But now, hearing how angry the young lady was, he realized something was wrong and quickly asked, "Did Jin Zhao force the young lady?"
Jiang Xiliu: ...Of course not.
After holding it in for a while, she finally managed to utter a muffled sentence: "He scared me."
Liao was even more puzzled. He knew that the young lady was fearless and not easily frightened. After thinking for a few seconds, he tentatively asked, "How did he scare you?"
That damn Jin Zhao spanked her, then held her on that pomegranate bacteria bed and threatened her...?
It doesn't seem threatening; it's just to let her see her masterpiece...
But being spanked was too embarrassing for Jiang Xiliu to talk about.
She couldn't talk about the pomegranate bacteria bed either, because she herself couldn't imagine that she could do such a disgusting thing.
Jiang Xiliu thought of that scene again and felt so disgusted that she immediately gagged.
Liao's voice was even more panicked than before: "Miss, are you alright? Should we send a doctor over to take a look?"
"It's nothing." Jiang Xiliu took a sip of warm water to calm down. "Don't worry about it. Anyway, Jin Zhao is just bullying me and making me unhappy."
She urged again, "Kick him out of my house, immediately." Assistant Liao silently sent her several agreements and thoughtfully highlighted a few key points in red pen.
Whether Jin Zhao anticipated the young lady's unpredictable mood or not, he specifically stated in the contract that the lease could not be unilaterally terminated without a valid reason.
Jiang Xiliu was shocked: "A rental relationship? When did I ever receive any rent from him?"
“It’s charged at market price.” Assistant Liao gave a card number and explained, “Jin Zhao transfers money to this card every month and sends me a screenshot of the transfer afterward.”
He paused for a moment: "So, Miss, wouldn't you like to think of a more reasonable explanation?"
"For example, he damaged some furniture or the house..."
"For example, he brought all sorts of shady people home..."
"For people like this, as long as we can find a reason that's even remotely relevant, we can get rid of them."
Jiang Xiliu:......
The Grand Steward System 0777 now understands the young lady's heart better than Assistant Liao.
[System 0777: Miss, if you want to take revenge on Jin Zhao, driving him away is definitely not the best way.]
Jin Zhao currently has enough money to rent a place, but Grandma Jin's health condition has not yet met the criteria for discharge from the hospital.
So it doesn't matter where Jin Zhao lives, but the young lady still has to follow him in order to complete her mission.
The system was also worried about provoking the young lady's rebellious mentality, so it cleverly offered her some advice.
"Then tell me, what's the best way?" Jiang Xiliu looked at the ball of light with suspicion.
[System 0777: First, you need to know what he hates most. Start with what he despises most to accurately hit his sore spot.]
Jiang Xiliu assumed that the artificial intelligence-deprived person knew the answer before giving her this suggestion, and asked, "What does he hate the most?"
System 0777: ...In the original plot, Jin Zhao was taciturn and reserved. He silently endured being bullied and seemed to be able to tolerate anything. The only thing he clearly showed his rejection of seemed to be the young lady's entanglement.
But it's hard to say now. For some reason, it feels like Jin Zhao doesn't hate the young lady as much as the original storyline portrays him.
[System 0777: Perhaps we can ask Isle.]
When Yisiluo was pulled out by the young lady and heard the question she raised, he scratched his head and fell into deep thought.
Finally, her gaze drifted away, and she decided to stab Jin Zhao in the back: "He hates the young lady."
System 0777 was shocked. Could it really be an artificial idiot? So the story is still the same as before, and it's just overthinking things?
But this was within the young lady's expectations: "I know he hates me, but what else?"
The two men stared at Jiang Xiliu and shook their heads: "It seems like that's all."
...
Jin Zhao was at home dealing with the horrific scene.
He threw away everything on the bed, including pillows, blankets, and mattresses.
The windows were wide open, and the sunlight streamed in generously.
Wearing a mask and disposable gloves, Jin Zhao squatted down fully armed, holding alcohol spray and a thick rag, wiping the bed frame again and again.
During his busy period, Yi Sile came over once: "Brother Jin Zhao, are you cooking lunch?"
Jin Zhao's voice was somewhat muffled: "What?"
Looking at the cleaning tools scattered on the floor, Yisiler obediently relayed the message: "Miss wants to eat your cooking today."
"She's not afraid I'll poison her, so she's eating it." Jin Zhao paused in his wiping motion and replied with a rather unfriendly expression.
Isler conveyed the message word for word.
The young lady wasn't afraid of him poisoning her, but she had some psychological trauma from going next door, so she always had Yisile bring her lunch.
Around 2 PM, Jin Zhao changed his clothes and went out. Not long after he left, Yi Sile contacted Assistant Liao, who was already waiting downstairs: "Assistant Liao, he's gone. You can bring all your things up now."
When Jin Zhao came to sign the contract, he gave the house key to Jiang Xiliu, but she had always kept it with Assistant Liao for safekeeping.
Helpless, Liao had the things he had hastily prepared that morning hung on the wall next door. He walked over to Yisile and asked her in a low voice, "Is Miss still in her room?"
Yisiler nodded: "I haven't come out since I came back from Jinzhao's place this morning."
Liao Zhu sighed softly. Although the young lady said she was fine, seeing was believing. He patted Yi Sile on the shoulder and said, "You stay here and keep watch. I'll go check on the young lady."
Liao Zhu knocked on the door in a different rhythm than others; he was used to knocking lightly once and then knocking twice more.
"Enter--"
The young lady was lying on the bed. When she saw it was Assistant Liao, she turned over and didn't want to talk to him.
“Young Miss, if you’re not happy here, we can go home.” Liao Zhu sat on the floor by the bed.
hypocritically.
The young lady glanced up, then lay down again: "It's all your fault for not reviewing it properly. How could such unreasonable clauses appear in the contract?"
She was still angry that Liao Zhu couldn't immediately kick Jin Zhao out.
Liao Zhu thought helplessly: Compared to the contents of the agreement, the young lady's words are more unreasonable, aren't they?
"Extend your hand." Assistant Liao wanted to check on the young lady's condition. "Let me take your pulse."
Liao Zhu, as the person Jiang Fuhuai placed by Jiang Xiliu's side, is a true all-rounder who combines the roles of secretary, driver, doctor, and bodyguard. Of course, his salary is also quite considerable.
"You beg me."
I beg you.
Jiang Xiliu felt bored. Although she was disgusted by Liao Zhu's blind obedience, she said after extending her wrist, "If only Jin Zhao could be as obedient as you."
"It's probably because they didn't pay enough." After taking her pulse, Assistant Liao finally smiled.
"Oh, so you're so obedient because you have a lot of money?" Jiang Xiliu said sarcastically. "Would you betray me if someone gave you more money?"
Liao Zhu was truly innocent. He glanced at the young lady, who was in a bad mood, stood up, and before leaving, he dutifully reported on his recent work.
Aside from some odd jobs and miscellaneous tasks, the main focus is on the upcoming bidding conference for the Linjiang project.
There are only two weeks left.
Jiang Xiliu will definitely attend in person. Although she doesn't need to work hard herself and there is a bright road waiting for her to take, it doesn't mean that she likes to give credit to others.
"Okay, I'll go to the company next week."
After Jiang Xiliu finished her phone call with Assistant Liao in the morning, she checked how much longer she would have to stay in the original storyline.
Only five days left.
Jin Zhaohui will return to school early. Once he's back at school, Jiang Xiliu's task will be complete.
According to the useless system 0777, the current completion rate of this plot has reached 58. As long as her completion rate is high enough in the next few days, she can easily raise the completion score to over 60.
The final plot is simply: "After a big fight with Jin Zhao, she found that Jin Zhao was ignoring her, so she chose to pay money to drive Yi Sile away."
Arguing with Jin Zhao is a simple matter; he'll probably come looking for her when he gets home tonight and sees the extra photos on the wall.
It's easy to pay to get rid of Yisile; just consider it as giving her living expenses and tuition in advance, and send her to a better school.
Therefore, Jiang Xiliu had no idea that the mission would fail.
The only thing she hadn't expected was that Jin Zhao hadn't come home for several days in a row.
If Jin Zhao doesn't come back, Jiang Xiliu can't just argue with thin air.
So, Yi Sile looked at the phone on the coffee table with the call screen lit up and asked, "Brother Jin Zhao, when are you coming home?"
The phone was naturally on speakerphone, and the young lady sat on the sofa listening with her.
Jiang Xiliu still held a grudge about the spanking and had long since blacklisted Jin Zhao, leaving him to stay with Shen Yu.
Jin Zhao said coldly, "If we go back, the bed won't be usable. What's the point of going back?"
Yisile secretly looked up and met the speechless gaze of the young lady.
"Um... so you're not coming back? But, Miss is leaving tomorrow."
Yisile wasn't lying. If the mission went smoothly, Jiang Xiliu's original plan was to leave here tomorrow.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then someone said, "What does this have to do with me?" and hung up.
Yi Sile held her phone and looked at the young lady. She was glad that Jin Zhao wouldn't pose a threat, but she still put on an indignant look and emphasized, "Young lady, Brother Jin Zhao hung up the phone."
Jiang Xiliu stood up expressionlessly: "I saw it with both eyes, I knew Jin Zhao was no good."
"Exactly, exactly! Brother Jin Zhao is so inconsiderate!" Yi Sile followed closely behind Jiang Xiliu. "So, Miss, are you still leaving?"
Of course we're leaving. Not only is she leaving, but Isil is leaving with her.
The decision to send Yisiluo abroad was not just because of the plot; as the next Liao Zhu, it would be a waste of her time and talent for her to stay in China and follow the established path of schooling.
On her last night here, Jiang Xiliu washed up and lay down on the bed peacefully. Soon her breathing became regular and long.
Only the system is anxious. It cannot spoil the plot for the young lady in advance. There are very few plot points left. If it fails this time, it must complete the difficult plot points that follow 100%.
That way it will have the opportunity to gain higher privileges.
The knocking happened just as the young lady fell asleep.
One light, two heavy.
It was like a test.
