It was already midnight when I got back to my little shop.
Wang De had been waiting for him.
Upon seeing him return, she stepped forward and asked with concern, "Brother, how did it go? Did Sister Hu give you any trouble?"
Chen Zhe shook his head; "No, they just asked me to give a massage to a customer."
"Oh, that's good, that's good. I was worried all night."
"Um, sorry, Brother Wang, I should have sent you a message."
Wang De waved his hand.
"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you're safe. By the way, did she give you any money?"
"She gave me 50,000 yuan."
"Hmm... Ah??? 50,000? How could it be so much? Did she ask you to sell it?"
Wang De asked, somewhat shocked.
Chen Zhe's lips twitched slightly; "No, I didn't expect him to give so much either. The customer we served tonight was the same female customer who came to our shop before, Sister Lin."
"Huh? I see..."
"Well, Sister Lin probably dislikes the environment here, so..."
"Yeah, I can understand that. That's how rich people are. They want the best of everything. Our place is definitely not good enough for her. Don't think too much about it, brother."
"Mmm, I didn't think that much about it. Brother Wang, I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to sleep now."
"Alright! Go ahead!"
I went back to the second floor and lay down on my small bed.
Chen Zhe closed his eyes, recalling what Hu Ling had just told him.
[If you come work for me, I'll pay you a salary of 500,000 yuan a year. That doesn't include customer tips; with all the miscellaneous income, you could make 700,000 to 800,000 yuan a year.]
The offer was so tempting that Chen Zhe almost agreed, but then he thought of Wang De.
Wang De sold his house and worked with him. He was so good to him and trusted him so much. He couldn't let Wang De down.
So he refused.
[This is a chance to turn my life around... Should I not refuse? But without Brother Wang, I might still be working a 4000 yuan job, living a miserable life... Sigh... So frustrating.]
Ever since Xu Weiwei betrayed him, Chen Zhe has been focused on making money and proving himself. Hu Ling has undoubtedly given him a great opportunity, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted—700,000 to 800,000 a year.
That's a very high salary anywhere.
Given the current business situation, it's impossible for him to make that much money in this small shop.
Needless to say, he turned down a job that would have paid an average of over 60,000 yuan a month. His previous boss only made 30,000 yuan a month.
I want to slap myself just thinking about it.
That's fucking painful.
...
For the next few days, Lin Meiyu did not come; instead, only regular customers came each day.
Moreover, they are all quite stingy, costing over 100 yuan, and you have to add extra services yourself.
After a long day of work, I was exhausted, but the revenue was only 5,000 yuan.
Fortunately, it was a technical job with low costs; otherwise, there would have been no hope for the future.
I got up very early again.
I haven't finished washing up yet.
Then I heard a commotion downstairs.
Chen Zhe quickly dealt with the situation and then went downstairs.
It was Zhang Yan, Wang De's wife, or rather, his ex-wife. She brought her lover over to cause trouble, while Xiao Hua, carrying a schoolbag, was crying loudly beside her.
Wang De was supposed to take her to school, but they must have stopped him.
"You, Wang De, you sold the house and transferred Xiao Hua to another school, do you think I won't find you? You'd better pay up!! That house is half mine! Mr. Li has already hired a lawyer for me, if you don't pay up, we'll see you in court!!"
Wang De was so angry that his mouth was trembling.
He held his daughter in his arms and angrily cursed, "Zhang Yan, you filthy bitch! You actually have the nerve to come and ask me for money? Let me tell you, I have no money!! Don't even think about taking a single penny from me!!"
"Fine!! So this is your attitude, huh? Fine!! You own this shop, right? I'll smash it right now!!"
Zhang Yan rushed over like a shrew and smashed everything in the store to pieces.
He bumped into Chen Zhe again as he came downstairs, and upon seeing Chen Zhe, he couldn't help but yell, "It's you again, you brat! What are you doing here?"
"Mr. Li, we've found the person who hit you! Come in quickly!!"
Her lover also rushed in. Seeing Chen Zhe, he flew into a rage and grabbed Chen Zhe's collar. "You brat! I've finally found you! Pay up!! You broke my bone with that kick you gave me earlier, pay up now!!"
"I'll pay for your mother's!"
Without saying a word, Chen Zhe kicked again.
These two lunatics came to smash his shop early in the morning, and he just couldn't stand it anymore.
Wang De put down his daughter and came over to help, and the two of them gave them another beating.
Wang De held his crying daughter in his arms, his eyes red and trembling with rage; "Get out!! Get the hell out of here!!"
Zhang Yan was still cursing; "Wang De!! I won't let you get away with this, just wait for my lawyer's letter!!! Mr. Li, let's go."
"And you brat!! You just wait, I'll make you pay for everything, down to your last pair of underwear!!"
The two left, grumbling and cursing.
Wang De slumped onto the sofa, holding his crying daughter in his arms, and let out a heavy sigh.
"I'm sorry, brother, I'm the one who dragged you into this."
Chen Zhe patted him on the shoulder; "Brother, don't say that. It's not your fault. If they want to sue, we'll fight them. What are we afraid of?"
"Sigh, I just heard Zhang Yan say that this bastard called 'General Manager Li' is quite influential... I heard he knows a lot of people, and now we... sigh... why don't you leave, brother? I don't want to drag you down with me anymore!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think your brother is afraid of being implicated? Don't worry, it's just a matter of connections, your brother will figure something out for you!"
"you?"
Brother Wang looked up at him, somewhat incredulous.
“I’m going to find Sister Hu, I’m going to beg her.”
Wang De's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again; "Sister Hu, can you help us?"
"How will we know if we don't try? Brother, don't be discouraged. You told me before that if you don't die, you'll get through it eventually. We brothers can get through this hurdle together."
"this……"
"No need to think about it anymore. I'll go find Sister Hu in a bit. If she doesn't agree, then I'll go find Sister Lin. I'll beg them on my knees if I have to, but I'll get this sorted out."
Wang De looked at him with excitement in his eyes.
He held his hand tightly; "Brother, meeting you is truly a blessing from my past life."
"Brother, don't say that. Meeting you is my blessing. Before, I was always in a daze and had no idea where my future lay. You woke me up and showed me what I was good at and what I should do in the future. Don't worry, leave this matter to me!"
Chen Zhe picked up Xiao Hua.
"Xiaohua, listen to your uncle, stay home and take good care of your father, and wait for your uncle to come back, okay?"
Xiaohua wiped away her tears and nodded.
"Okay, Uncle."
