Chapter 6 He will trample Lin Xi under his feet and ravage her at will sooner or later.
Lin Xi blinked. "The opportunity to continue serving you is high, and you're offering a high price."
“Chen Yan seems to have offered a higher price,” Song Xu said, arms crossed.
Shen Yan? Lin Xi thought for a moment, "Is it Mr. Shen from last time? He did give a lot, otherwise I wouldn't have risked my life to come here in the middle of the night."
"However, I prefer the price you offered. I can come during the day, and I won't feel so guilty holding it in my hand."
Five hundred yuan an hour is too high. Lin Xi felt that her labor was not worth that much money. She knew that the market price for hourly workers was only fifty yuan per hour.
Song Xu raised an eyebrow slightly. "I have to go out on business. You don't need to do it today. I'll ask you again next time."
Lin Xi was a little disappointed after hearing Song Xu's explanation, but she was mostly happy because she would have more opportunities to get big orders in the future.
"Then I'll pack up and leave now." Lin Xi packed her tool bag, walked to the door and changed her shoes.
Song Xu took his car keys, changed his shoes, and went out with Lin Xi, taking the elevator.
"Where do you live?" Song Xu suddenly asked.
Without thinking, Lin Xi told him the location of her home, "My home is still the staff dormitory from decades ago, a tenement building. I guess Mr. Song has never seen it."
He's so rich, he eats, lives, and uses the best things in life, he's definitely never seen such an old neighborhood.
Song Xu had indeed never seen one before. "Since it's on my way, I'll take you home. You can show me what a tenement building looks like."
Lin Xi couldn't refuse Song Xu's request, so she nodded, "Then I'll save money on the bus fare, thank you Mr. Song."
Upon reaching the underground parking garage, Song Xu led the way to a royal blue Porsche sports car. He opened the passenger door first and said to Lin Xi, "Get in."
On the way, Lin Xi was still thinking about whether to sit in the passenger seat or the back seat, as neither seemed quite right.
She glanced into the car a few times, and all her previous worries disappeared, because besides the driver's seat, there was only the passenger seat left to sit in.
Lin Xi didn't know what kind of car it was, only that it must be very expensive. It was the first time she had ever ridden in such a nice car, and also the first time she had ever sat in the passenger seat. She carefully got into the car.
You absolutely mustn't scratch the car; she can't afford to pay for it.
After Lin Xi was seated, Song Xu closed the door for her before walking around to the other side of the sports car and getting in.
Lin Xi watched as Song Xu fastened his seatbelt, and she followed suit and fastened her own seatbelt.
Inside the car, the two barely spoke. Lin Xi's attention was focused on Song Xu's hands, simply because Song Xu's hands were so beautiful.
Lin Xi looked at her hands. Her fingers were slender, but there was a thick callus on the first joint of her right middle finger, which was caused by writing.
She clasped her hands together, looked away, and decided it was better not to look around; even if she did, those hands wouldn't be hers.
Following the address Lin Xi reported, Song Xu drove into a narrow alley using navigation. His bright blue sports car looked out of place and was quite conspicuous.
“Mr. Song, don’t drive any further,” Lin Xi said in time. “The road inside is uneven and difficult to walk on. You should turn back to the main road.”
Song Xu stepped on the gas, tilted his head and glanced ahead a few times, "You live here?"
Lin Xi hummed in agreement, unbuckled her seatbelt, and pointed to a two-story red brick building in front of her. "Look, that red building is the tenement building where I live. It has a real sense of history, doesn't it!"
“It’s perfect for filming period dramas,” Song Xu had only ever seen such old buildings in TV series, and he never expected that there would be such old buildings in Jiangbei City. “Then I won’t go inside.”
Lin Xi hummed in agreement again, but showed no intention of getting out of the car. She glanced at Song Xu and said, "Mr. Song, thank you for bringing me back."
"You're welcome, it's just on my way," Song Xu replied casually.
Lin Xi lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers, her voice not loud, but Song Xu could hear her clearly, "You treated my wound today and took me home. I am truly grateful to you. But I also worked at your house for two hours today. Could you please pay me for my work?"
Song Xu touched his eyebrows. He had really forgotten about it if Lin Xi hadn't mentioned it. He took out his phone, opened his chat with Lin Xi, and transferred 1,000 yuan to her.
Lin Xi's phone rang. She opened it and was somewhat surprised. "Mr. Song, you transferred too much. It should be four hundred yuan."
“Since Shen Yan already set a price for you in the beginning, I’ll settle the payment with you at 500 yuan per hour,” Song Xu explained.
Two hundred or five hundred, these small sums of money meant nothing to him. He didn't want Lin Xi to misunderstand him as being too stingy, so he couldn't give less than Shen Yan.
Wow! This was a pleasant surprise for Lin Xi. She thought she had earned a few hundred yuan less today, but Mr. Song directly raised the unit price.
"Thank you, Mr. Song," Lin Xi said, her gaze towards Song Xu filled with concern. "Will you still use my cleaning service if you need hourly workers in the future?"
She didn't behave well today; she not only broke a bowl but also fainted. Any normal person would find her troublesome, but this Mr. Song seems to be someone who doesn't like trouble.
It's unlikely that their deal is just a one-off transaction.
Song Xu nodded slightly. "Yes."
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Lin Xi smiled and happily got out of the car, saying, "Goodbye, Mr. Song."
After closing the car door, she stood there watching Song Xu reverse away until the car was out of sight before turning around and walking home.
After walking a few steps, a head peeked out from behind a big tree ahead; it was Li Sheng.
Feeling annoyed, Lin Xi didn't even glance at Li Sheng and quickened her pace.
"Lin Xi!" Seeing that Lin Xi was ignoring him, Li Sheng jogged after her and stood in front of her.
Lin Xi goes left, Li Sheng goes left; Lin Xi goes right, Li Sheng goes right.
"Are you out of your mind?" Lin Xi distanced herself from Li Sheng. "A good dog doesn't block the way, get out of my way!"
"Lin Xi, did you go out and sell yourself again?" Li Sheng's face showed a contemptuous expression. "You are really shameless. You will do anything for money."
"You're crazy!" Lin Xi thought Li Sheng seemed to have gone mad lately, always staring at what she was doing. "If you have nothing to do, go find a job and stop doing these pointless things."
Li Sheng narrowed his eyes. He dropped out of junior high school and stayed home to play video games. His parents supported him, and the neighbors often gossiped about his family behind his back.
He couldn't stand the word "work," and today Lin Xi brought it up to his face. A wicked thought popped into his head: if Lin Xi looked down on him, then he would drag her down with him.
While Li Sheng was still in a daze, Lin Xi quickly bypassed him from the side and ran home as fast as she could.
As Li Sheng watched Lin Xi run away, his eyes turned sinister. Sooner or later, he would trample Lin Xi under his feet and ravage her at will.
