Chapter 3
"You're back!"
Ji Liao turned around and saw Wen Qiu, his eyes lighting up.
His attitude was genuine, and of course he was happy that his boss gave him the opportunity to perform!
Wen Qiu's eyes darkened.
He still remembers the ridiculous things he did in his previous life.
He met Ji Liao, a waiter in the restaurant. Because the other party's posture and expression were very similar to Lou Yue, he investigated the other party, coerced the other party, forced the other party to sign an agreement, and tied the other party to his side.
He once thought that he had been generous enough to Ji Liao, as he had not only solved Ji Liao's problems but also given Ji Liao a good life. Ji Liao should be grateful to him for just staying by his side.
But he was wrong.
Later, Ji Liao drove his car into Lou Yue.
It turned out that Ji Liao hated him.
He understood it now.
Although the food on the table was delicious and tempting, Wen Qiu didn't even look at it.
He just sat down at the table calmly, staring at Ji Liao and said:
"Ji Liao, sit down."
“Hey!”
When the boss spoke, Ji Liao naturally and obediently sat on the other side of the table.
Wen Qiu was silent for a while before speaking lightly:
"We cancel the agreement, you can leave."
"ah?"
Ji Liao's face was filled with horror, as if he had heard a bolt from the blue.
Wen Qiu frowned slightly.
In his memory, Ji Liao was a man of few words, and that happened to be the case with him.
So they rarely communicated, and Wen Qiu had no interest in understanding Ji Liao's mental state.
He had never even noticed such a vivid expression.
No wonder he didn't notice Ji Liao's hostility towards Lou Yue.
That accident was his responsibility.
We can’t let what happened in the past life happen again.
Wen Qiu continued, "You don't have to return the 500,000 yuan from yesterday. I'll give you an additional 500,000 yuan as compensation."
Ji Liao: “…”
How come the plot develops differently?
What the other party means is that he can get one million now, as if he had never signed the agreement?
How is this different from winning the lottery?
In my previous life, when I read novels, the protagonists all won hundreds of billions of dollars. Compared to them, one million was really nothing.
But the hundreds of billions in novels can only be seen.
This one million can actually be achieved right now!
Ji Liao tried hard to control the upward curve of his lips.
He knew Wen Qiu would do what he said.
In the original novel, Wen Qiu was very generous to the original owner. Not only did he pay the monthly expenses regularly, but he would also use material things to "humiliate" the original owner from time to time.
No wonder the original owner was possessed by Stockholm and fell in love with the villain.
Who can stand being hit by money!
But wait!
He suddenly remembered the house prices he looked at in the afternoon.
If he takes the one million, it will be a one-time deal.
It seems like a lot, but it’s not enough for him to buy a house!
Then what?
Would he have to work from dawn to dusk like in his previous life? Even if he managed to save enough for the down payment, would he still have to take out a 20-year loan to buy a house?
If he hadn't been wearing a book, he could still bear it.
But now that he has the hope of buying a house in full, he suddenly can't accept going back to take out a loan!
Ji Liao was silent for a long time, and Wen Qiu spoke calmly:
"Another million."
Ji Liao: “?”
Before Ji Liao could react, Wen Qiu continued:
"Two million."
Ji Liao: “…”
Wen Qiu: "Three million."
Ji Liao: “!”
How come this is still being auctioned?
Wen Qiu: "Five million."
"stop!"
Ji Liao was almost suffocating, and without caring whether it was polite or not, he hurriedly called for a stop.
Wen Qiu frowned, showing a dissatisfied expression.
Ji Liao swallowed and said with a stiff upper lip:
"I disagree."
He is not stupid. He can still tell the difference between one meal being full and the next.
"Um"
Now it was Wen Qiu who was confused.
Having made his attitude clear, Ji Liao looked at Wen Qiu boldly.
Her black hair was meticulously combed back, and her cold, pale skin was flawless. The glasses on her nose couldn't hide the depth of her peach blossom eyes, but the gaze she gave Ji Liao through the lenses was indifferent to the extreme.
Such breathtaking beauty, yet such aloofness.
That's right, the villain only cares about the protagonist and looks at everyone else like an ant.
But Ji Liao must fight for it.
He said, "You captured me, so you must take responsibility. Why should I sign the agreement just because you ask me to? Why should I leave just because you ask me to?"
Fortunately, he was not reading a sadistic novel. If he had read a villain who killed and robbed people, he would not have dared to say that.
Of course, Wen Qiu is not a pushover either, and he might send bodyguards to forcibly throw him out.
But he can't miss such a good "job opportunity"!
He would not fall in love with Wen Qiu like the original owner and try to win Wen Qiu's heart.
He is absolutely honest and upright, and he only wants Qiu's money!
Once the words were out, there was no turning back. Ji Liao slammed the table and said angrily:
"Anyway, I don't agree!"
After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Wen Qiu's reaction, then went upstairs with thumps.
After closing the door, he took a deep breath to control his shaking hands.
It’s really weird, why doesn’t the plot follow the original?
Wen Qiu downstairs also felt puzzled.
Wen Qiu still remembers that no matter how tough he was, Ji Liao never shouted loudly.
It was not until the sound of a door slamming upstairs that Wen Qiu realized something belatedly - Ji Liao was angry.
Will Ji Liao be angry?
Wen Qiu's confusion at this moment was obviously greater than his anger at being yelled at. He turned to the dining table, silently picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the food.
It smells so good.
Why didn't Ji Liao want to leave?
*
Ji Liao listened anxiously to the noise outside the door.
But there was no movement.
The bodyguard did not show up, and Wen Qiu did not come either.
He waited until he was starving, but nothing happened.
But he was too embarrassed to go out to find food, so he had to endure the hunger and wash up and go to bed early.
The next morning, he got up early and prepared breakfast.
When Wen Qiu went downstairs, he was led to the kitchen by the fragrance again.
When Ji Liao saw Wen Qiu coming, he didn't say anything, but just silently put the freshly-pot steamed dumplings on the table.
Vegetable pancakes and red date and white fungus porridge were also placed on the table.
After finishing, Ji Liao took off his apron, stood aside with his eyes lowered, and waited obediently for Wen Qiu's decision.
He had made up his mind that he could not offend Wen Qiu again. It would be fine to take the money and leave. Many people have never seen five million in their entire lives. He could not be too greedy.
After the sound of a chair being pulled out, Wen Qiu asked, "Did you make it or buy it?"
"I made it myself!"
Ji Liao knows how to take advantage of opportunities and quickly took credit: "I don't have the key, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come back if I go out, so I can only make it with the ingredients available in the refrigerator. Although the variety is small, the taste is guaranteed. I'm not bragging, with my cooking skills, I can open a restaurant more than enough."
He didn't lie. He originally had a video account where he filmed the lunch boxes he made every day, and his fans loved it.
Round it off and just consider it as opening a store.
Wen Qiu nodded without comment and scooped up a spoonful of porridge.
"Let's follow this standard from now on."
"Um?"
Ji Liao's eyes suddenly brightened.
Did he keep his job?
Wen Qiu didn't give any extra explanation. After finishing his meal, he washed up and prepared to go out.
Ji Liao was flattered and, imitating the characters in the TV series, helped Wen Qiu with his coat and put his leather shoes away, and respectfully escorted Wen Qiu to the door.
Before Wen Qiu left, he turned around and saw Ji Liao's bright eyes, and his cold expression relaxed a little.
He said: "You can think of a number yourself and the termination will take effect at any time."
Ji Liao: “…”
The flower of my heart that had just blossomed got stuck again before it could fully bloom.
"I'm not leaving."
He said stubbornly.
Are you kidding me? Where can he find a job with a monthly salary of 500,000 yuan? Even if he clings to Wen Qiu and begs for shelter now, that's fine!
Wen Qiu remained silent, his tone still cold:
"The spare key is in the second drawer in the entrance hall."
"good!"
Ji Liao's expression changed immediately, and he smiled so much that he almost blossomed into a flower. He said happily, "Take care, Mr. Wen. I'll wait for you to come back for dinner!"
Wen Qiu said "hmm", unlocked the car and got in.
The Maybach drove out of the garage and onto the main road. Looking in the rearview mirror, the garage door slowly fell down and Ji Liao was no longer visible.
The feeling of someone waiting for him to go home was too unfamiliar to Wen Qiu.
He has harmed Ji Liao once.
I don't want to get hurt a second time.
If Ji Liao doesn't want to leave, then let him stay for the time being. It won't have any impact.
*
Ji Liao waited until the garage door closed before running to the entrance humming a song.
Sure enough, the key was found.
It was a close call, I almost lost my job.
With the feeling of surviving a disaster, Ji Liao couldn't help but think again, why did Wen Qiu terminate the contract for no reason?
Is it because of the butterfly effect caused by him traveling through the book?
What then?
Workers are well aware of the importance of preparing for a rainy day. Although he managed to get away with it this time, after hearing what Qiu meant, they might still drive him away.
Ji Liao took the key and turned to look for his cell phone.
He needs to sort out his thoughts carefully.
Opening the memo, he sorted out the plot again.
The original story about the original owner and the villain is basically related to the boat scene, but as soon as he came through, he missed the first boat scene.
Then Wen Qiu proposed to terminate the contract.
In other words, the plot began to fall apart when he missed the boat scene?
No, this won’t work. If things continue like this, Wen Qiu will definitely kick him out again!
He finally met this God of Wealth!
We have to find a way to turn the plot back around!
