My God, anyone would be excited and shout out!
After being baptized by money, Tao Zhizhi's hands and legs no longer felt sore or tired. She suddenly felt that her strength had increased and she could swing the pot ten thousand more times!
Just kidding, just kidding, that still won't do!
_(:3」∠)_
As Fu Jue approached, he saw her holding a phone, watching the video over and over again, her eyes unfocused, grinning foolishly with her big teeth showing.
What's puzzling is that the video seems to be the sentimental type, with a few GIFs paired with empathetic text, plus a fatalistic background music.
It doesn't seem like someone who would laugh out loud like an idiot.
He slowly approached, a doting smile on his face, his eyes filled with the girl in front of him, and he couldn't help but reach out and poke her dimples when she smiled.
Looking at her, her Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and she couldn't help but let out a clear laugh.
Tao Zhizhi was in a state of excitement until a voice, clearly tinged with teasing, entered her mind.
Her gaze slowly returned to focus, and she looked awkwardly at Fu Jue beside her, feeling his fingers still messing with her face.
My mind went completely blank, my ears and neck turned bright red, and I realized that he had seen my silly, clueless state. I wished I could disappear into a crack in the ground.
"What are you looking at? You seem so happy!"
Tao Zhizhi, seemingly trying to cover something up, turned her phone to silent and placed it face down on the table.
"there is nothing--"
"It's just that I heard some good news, which is very exciting."
Seeing her shy demeanor, Fu Jue didn't want to press her for details; he would wait until she was willing to share with him.
He touched the tip of his nose, somewhat reluctantly, his voice tinged with a hint of grievance:
"Zhizhi, I may need to take some time off. I have some personal matters to attend to, but I will be back as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this, Tao Zhizhi felt somewhat disappointed, thinking about having to work alone in the kitchen for a while.
"Then you need to come back as soon as possible, or your salary will be docked!"
She had always done things on her own before, but now she was somewhat reluctant because Fu Jue was about to leave for a while.
Having never been in a relationship, she naturally couldn't explain how she felt.
"I'll be traveling quite far, but I'll bring you a gift when I come back, okay?"
Fu Jue didn't want to see her even slightly unhappy, so he spoke softly, his voice ingratiating.
Tao Zhizhi looked at the time and spoke:
It's too late. Have a safe journey!
Tao Zhizhi's emotions always came and went quickly, and she soon immersed herself in the joy of earning a million, laughing and joking with him.
"Remember to come back early, or else—watch out for your wages!" (￣へ￣)
Fu Jue didn't understand how she suddenly regained her energy; it must be because of that good news.
I really want to know, I can't wait!
Fu Jue himself was unaware that he had developed an inexplicable possessiveness towards Tao Zhizhi's feelings.
The two left the shop side by side, with Fu Chao following silently behind.
To be honest, if the two of them didn't know him, just by looking at his dark clothes and wearing a mask, they would really think he was a pervert.
Fu Chao was unaware of Tao Zhizhi's thoughts; his mind was filled with that image he didn't want to recall.
The eighteen-year-old girl, dressed in a bright and eye-catching dark green satin dress, handed Fu Jue an envelope with alternating white and pink lining. Fu Jue smiled sternly and accepted the envelope.
Therefore, seeing Fu Jue and the other girl chatting and laughing behind him was inevitably a bit of an eyesore. He felt sorry for the girl and looked at Fu Jue with resentment.
Only after Tao Zhizhi's figure disappeared from sight did Fu Jue reluctantly turn his gaze to Fu Chao behind him.
"Let's go, Fu Chao!"
Fu Chao wanted to speak, but a sour feeling welled up in his heart, and a sour taste instantly rose in his throat, blocking his mouth. He didn't know what position he had to ask Fu Jue.
Fu Jue didn't understand his brother's intricate schemes. He didn't speak, nor did he bother to. The journey was quiet, with only the roar of the car engine remaining.

Tao Zhizhi skipped and hopped home, happily hugging her parents.
Mr. Tao lovingly patted his obedient daughter's head and asked affectionately:
"My darling Zhizhi, what wonderful thing has happened?"
Mr. Tao spread his arms and drew a large circle, his expression exaggerated, his tone full of surprise:
"I'm so happy!"
Tao Zhizhi playfully kept everyone in suspense, drawing out the last syllable:
"It's because—"
She laid out a table outlining her calculated monthly sales figures, and then casually held it out in front of them:
"Tap tap—"
"Of course it's because I make money!!!"
(o′罒`o) Hehe?
When Tao's mother saw the amount circled in red pen, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
"My goodness! Zhizhi, did you really earn this money?"
Tao's father leaned closer, his eyes widening as he counted the zeros from back to front.
The hundreds of thousands in sales revenue were dazzling. The two of them were incredulous, looking at their daughter's sweet face and then down at the numbers, repeating the same thing several times.
This made Tao Zhizhi want to laugh.
Having seen enough, Tao's mother casually handed the paper to Tao's father, her eyes filled with tears. She tenderly took Tao Zhizhi's hands and gently stroked them.
“Our Zhizhi has worked so hard. My hands, which I finally managed to keep tender, are now covered in calluses.”
Tao's father carefully folded and put the paper away, his eyes scanning her with concern as he muttered to himself:
"You've lost weight, you've lost a lot of weight."
Looking at her face, which was still so fair and tender, Tao's father swallowed the words "your face has become rough" that were on the tip of his tongue.
However, the two still felt sorry for Tao Zhizhi. They had seen her leaving early and returning late for the past month, and her slightly tired eyes were no lie.
"Zhizhi, here's the money. Buy whatever you want, don't worry about it!"
"Look, after deducting the cost of water, electricity, and raw materials, there shouldn't be much left."
Tao Zhizhi was deeply moved by her parents' reaction, but she couldn't explain the system to them.
"Dad, Mom, this money is for you. I have a lot of money on me."
"Don't you always say that you're busy with work and want to travel all over the beautiful landscapes of our motherland?"
"My small shop can help me earn a lot of money. Once I achieve financial freedom, you won't need to work anymore!"
Mr. and Mrs. Tao looked tenderly at their daughter sitting in the middle: "My Zhizhi has really grown up!"
——
Compared to the warm and cozy scene at the Tao family's home.
Fu family
"Hey, our young master Fu, who roams the martial world, is back!"
Fu Linyue glanced at Fu Chao with annoyance, speaking sarcastically.
Lin Jiao slapped Fu Linyue's hand hard with a "smack." Fu Linyue snorted while holding the newspaper and stopped talking.
"Mom, I'm home."
Fu Chao walked in, ignoring his angry old man, and greeted Lin Jiao on his own.
Lin Jiao was overjoyed; even her well-maintained face showed wrinkles around her eyes from smiling.
