Chapter 5 What kind of opportunity do you want?
He chased Shen Yan and Xiao Heng away. Today is Sunday, and he didn't go to the company. He was also too lazy to go back to the old house. He suddenly wanted to eat some home-cooked food, so he asked Shen Yan for Lin Xi's contact information.
Hearing that Song Xu would be alone today, Lin Xi didn't think much of it; she just felt that her work would be easier.
Lin Xi didn't say a word of nonsense. After washing her face and hands, she went to the kitchen to get busy.
Song Xu didn't go back to his room. Instead, he sat on the sofa fiddling with his phone, occasionally glancing at Lin Xi.
She wore a high ponytail, the ends of which swayed from side to side with her movements. She was wearing a light blue knee-length dress, which looked like it had been worn for a long time and was somewhat faded.
Song Xu rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.
Lin Xi suddenly looked up at Song Xu, "Mr. Song, would you like something a little lighter?"
Song Xu thought for a moment, "Make two of your specialty dishes."
"Okay." Lin Xi agreed verbally, but in her heart she was wondering if he could eat her best dishes, which were stir-fried cabbage and cold potato salad.
Lin Xi finally decided to make cola chicken wings and a cold potato salad, one meat and one vegetable dish would be nice.
After asking a question, Lin Xi stopped talking, and the only sounds in the house were the clanging of pots and pans.
Song Xu got up and left the living room.
Back in his room, Song Xu picked up his phone and messaged Shen Yan: "How much did you pay the hourly rate for the cleaning lady last time?"
Shen Yan quickly replied: 【Five hundred? My requirements are rather high.】
Immediately afterwards, Shen Yan sent a picture, which was a screenshot of his order.
Song Xu opened the screenshot and read through the requirements. With each requirement, he compared it to Lin Xi's in his mind.
Lin Xi is definitely 165 cm tall, and her appearance is indeed pure and beautiful. As for her figure... Song Xu has only seen her long legs. As for her upper body, she always wears loose clothing.
Last time, she received 500 yuan per hour from Shen Yan, and today she readily agreed to accept 200 yuan. It seems this girl is really short of money.
But he didn't see any inferiority complex or timidity in the girl; instead, he was open and honest about being poor.
Shen Yan sent another message: [Brother Xu, you don't have any feelings for Lin Xi, do you?]
Song Xu frowned. What nonsense was this brat spouting? "You're overthinking it."
Shen Yan quickly sent a smiley face: "That's good. Xiao Heng and I bought an apartment near Jiang University, planning to hire Lin Xi long-term."
Song Xu didn't reply to Shen Yan's message, but put down his phone. These were all trivial matters to him.
He sat on the sofa and casually picked up a book he hadn't finished reading and continued reading.
Song Xu looked at it for a while, then got a little annoyed. He put down the book, picked up his phone again, fiddled with it for a few seconds, and then put it down again.
He got up, exhaled, and decided to go out and take a look. He felt restless from hunger and didn't know when lunch would be ready.
Song Xu walked to the door and opened it, seeing Lin Xi standing there. She raised her hand to knock.
Lin Xi was startled. She withdrew her hand and said, "Mr. Song, the food is ready."
Song Xu gave a curt "hmm," walked past Lin Xi, and headed straight for the restaurant.
Lin Xi quite likes this kind of aloof customer; she can talk less. If a male customer is too enthusiastic, she'll worry.
She knew she was good-looking; she started receiving love letters when she was in elementary school, and the older she got, the more people pursued her.
However, she ignored everyone and no one could become a stumbling block for her to get into Jiangbei University.
Realizing her thoughts had wandered off course, Lin Xi shook her head and followed Song Xu back to the restaurant, where she still had to clean up the kitchen.
Song Xu saw the cola chicken wings and cold potato salad in front of him, along with a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup and a bowl of rice.
There was only a bowl of rice. Song Xu looked up at Lin Xi, who was still busy, and couldn't help but ask, "Lin Xi, aren't you going to eat lunch?"
Lin Xi was somewhat surprised that Song Xu knew her name. She turned around and shook her head, "I've already eaten. I brought my own bread and bottled water."
She received training before visiting clients' homes. It's best to maintain a sense of boundaries in the client's home, avoid touching things that can be avoided, and refrain from eating things that can be avoided. Mutual respect is the most important thing.
Song Xu didn't say anything more and started eating.
Lin Xi prepared a single serving of food, which Song Xu ate completely, leaving him just 80% full without wasting a single bite.
Lin Xi was still wiping the stove when Song Xu put the plates and bowls together, carried them into the kitchen, and intended to put them in the sink.
Lin Xi's hands moved mechanically as she calculated how much money she could earn today, how much tuition she still needed, and what kind of gift she should buy for her grandmother if she earned a lot.
While she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard a noise behind her, turned around abruptly, and bumped into the bowl and plate in Song Xu's hand, causing the bowl to fall to the ground and shatter.
Lin Xi was startled and quickly squatted down to pick up the broken pieces, apologizing, "I'm sorry, Mr. Song, I'll clean it up right away."
Song Xu lowered his eyes, his gaze inadvertently drifting into the neckline of Lin Xi's dress. After seeing a glimpse of her ample figure, he quickly looked away. Indeed, she had a stunning figure.
His gaze lingered on Lin Xi's calf. "Your leg is cut."
Upon hearing Song Xu's words, Lin Xi noticed that her calf had been cut, and bright red blood was flowing out of the wound. She suddenly felt dizzy.
Lin Xi grabbed Song Xu's trouser leg, her face turning pale. "Mr. Song, I...I'm afraid of blood..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Xi suddenly went black and fainted.
Before she collapsed onto the floor covered in shards of porcelain, Song Xu bent down to support Lin Xi, then picked her up and carried her out of the kitchen.
Lin Xi was very light; having fainted, she nestled limply in Song Xu's arms.
Song Xu gently bounced the girl in his arms; her body was still limp, not like she was faking fainting.
He placed Lin Xi on the sofa and carefully examined her wound, which contained a small piece of porcelain.
Song Xu took out the medicine box, used small tweezers to pull out the porcelain shards, disinfected them, applied medicine to stop the bleeding, and then applied adhesive tape.
After treating Lin Xi's wound, Song Xu sat down next to her, staring at her face. He rubbed the beauty mark under Lin Xi's left eye with his index finger; it was real.
Lin Xi fainted quickly, but woke up quickly as well.
She opened her eyes and met Song Xu's cold gaze. She quickly sat up from the sofa, looked down at the wound on her leg, and saw that it had already been treated.
"Thank you, Mr. Song," Lin Xi said somewhat embarrassedly. "I'm so sorry for the trouble. I can pay for the broken bowl."
"You're welcome, it's alright, no need to pay me back," Song Xu replied briefly to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi nodded and stood up. "Then I'll go clean up the kitchen."
Song Xu stretched out his arm to stop her, "You don't need to do it today."
Lin Xi looked up at Song Xu in surprise, her eyes glistening with tears, her voice choked with emotion, "Mr. Song, could you please give me another chance? I will never make the same mistake again."
She came in high spirits, thinking she could earn over a thousand today, but she missed out on that income because she was distracted.
Song Xu's face remained expressionless. "What kind of opportunity do you want?"
