Chapter 175 Is she really that bad? [42]
Ah Chu couldn't care less about how bad Song Jiahe's mood was after his 'good deed' was ruined.
After 'buying' Jiang Shichu, she lost interest in continuing to stroll through the market and told Chen Wang and Maiya that she wanted to leave.
Jiang Shichu walked out of the market with them.
On the way, Jiang Shichu told Achu that he needed to go to the hospital first to pay his sister's medical bills.
If Achu is worried that he might run away, she can go to the hospital with him.
Of course, Achu wasn't afraid that Jiang Shichu would run away.
After leaving the market, she said to Jiang Shichu, "Consider those 20,000 points a loan from me."
Jiang Shichu was stunned, somewhat confused by what Achu meant: "Lend it to me?"
Achu nodded and said with a smile, "That's right! You can pay me back the 20,000 points once you've earned them!"
Looking at the girl's innocent and bright smile, Jiang Shichu was touched, and his eyes welled up with tears.
He never expected to meet such a kind girl in the apocalypse!
For the first time in his life, Jiang Shichu experienced the feeling of being moved. His fair and handsome face flushed red, and he mustered his courage to speak:
"I... 20,000 points is too much. I probably won't earn that much for a long time. If you don't mind, I can..."
The excitement in the young man's eyes was so obvious that it couldn't be hidden.
The words "As expected" popped into Chen Wang's mind.
Ah Chu is so wonderful, it's hard not to be tempted!
Shen Wang knew what Jiang Shichu was going to say next, so before he could finish, he said, "I'll give you a job."
Achu and Jiang Shichu both looked at Chen Wang at the same time.
Jiang Shichu still remembered that when he was being held down by Chen Yunwei's two bodyguards and struggling to break free, Chen Wang waved his hand and unleashed two wind blades.
This is a very powerful superhuman with a strong aura!
Moreover, even Chen Yunwei was wary of him.
Jiang Shichu was also very grateful to Shen Wang.
He was very happy when Shen Wang told him he would give him a job.
Just as Jiang Shichu was about to thank him, Shen Wang spoke up again, saying, "I'll transfer those 20,000 points to Mianmian later. Consider these 20,000 points as an advance on your salary." Jiang Shichu was stunned.
He didn't know Achu's name yet, but after hearing Shen Wang's words, he knew that Mianmian must be talking about Achu.
Jiang Shichu was not stupid; in fact, one could say he was quite clever and adept at reading people's expressions.
He immediately understood the meaning of "delusion".
Shen Wang didn't want him to get involved with A Chu, and even less did he want him to offer himself to her.
The first flutter of emotion in twenty-two years was extinguished in that instant.
"Brother Chenwang, what kind of job do you plan to give him?"
Achu asked from the side.
Chen Wang looked down at her and replied, "We'll assign him whatever work he's good at."
“Chen Yunwei holds a grudge. In case she causes trouble for him and his sister later, you can move in with me.”
Even Maiya couldn't help but glance at her boss a couple more times.
When did her eldest son become so kind and generous?
Achu's eyes sparkled as she looked at Chenwang with admiration: "Brother Chenwang, you're so thoughtful! You're such a good person!"
She then looked at Jiang Shichu: "Hurry up and say yes! Brother Chen Wang is amazing, and everyone on his team is incredible!"
Jiang Shichu snapped out of his reverie, suppressed his budding excitement, and sincerely thanked Chen Wang: "Thank you! How should I address you? Boss or Captain?"
Shen Wang: "Just call me Captain."
After thinking it over, Chen Wang asked Maiya to accompany Jiang Shichu to the hospital to prevent Chen Yunwei from reporting back.
After we finish at the hospital, we'll have Maiya take Jiang Shichu to pack his things and move them to their place.
In this way, Jiang Shichu was dealt with, and the third wheel was also sent away.
Malt didn't think much of it; she just felt that the boss was really friendly to the new members!
Jiang Shichu thanked Shen Wang again.
Chen Wang raised his hand and ruffled A Chu's hair, saying to her, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat."
Achu nodded: "Great! I'm actually quite hungry!"
Jiang Shichu watched as Achu got into the car and left with Chen Wang.
Maiya, who was standing next to him, called out, "Let's go, I'll go to the hospital with you."
Jiang Shichu nodded: "I still don't know how to address you?"
Maiya cheerfully replied, "My name is Maiya, you can just call me Sister Maiya!"
Jiang Shichu: "Sister Mai."
As he and Maiya headed to the hospital, they inquired about the team's situation, including the number of people and the number of those with superpowers.
Jiang Shichu was a very eloquent person, and he subtly got Maiya to say a lot.
Maiya assumed he was one of her teammates and wasn't on guard.
In a short time, Jiang Shichu had a thorough understanding of Shen Wang's team.
He also learned about Achu's identity and that they had only returned to the base yesterday.
No wonder she was able to come up with 20,000 points; it turns out her sister is an important talent at the research institute.
Jiang Shichu felt no resentment whatsoever; on the contrary, he felt much more at ease.
The base values scientific research talent, so even if Chen Yunwei harbors resentment towards A Chu because of today, she wouldn't dare to do anything to her.
Here, Achu and Chenwang had lunch at a restaurant outside.
The restaurant is located in Zone B, and those who can afford to eat there are either people with superpowers or those whose families are well-off.
The meal was expensive; the two of them only ordered three dishes and a soup.
Braised pork ribs with potatoes, stir-fried beef with yellow peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, lettuce soup, and two servings of rice.
The portions weren't very large, and the ingredients weren't particularly fresh.
And so, I spent over two hundred points.
Ah Chu felt a pang of regret, even though it was Shen Wang who was paying.
After getting into the car, he said to Chen Wang, "This meal is too expensive! When I was at the market, I heard people say that their whole family only earns fifty points after a hard day's work."
"Going out on a mission will only earn you a maximum of two hundred points."
Chen Wang, his hands on the steering wheel, turned to look at her upon hearing this, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"You feel bad about spending over 200 points, but you don't feel bad about spending 20,000 points in the market just now?"
Achu raised an eyebrow: "How can that be the same? In the market, I felt that if we didn't help Jiang Shichu, he would definitely be finished! That Chen Yunwei, she doesn't look like a good person at all!"
Chen Wang: "Chen Yunwei is indeed not a good person. Before the apocalypse, she was forced to drop out of school because she bullied someone to death."
Achu's eyes widened: "Is she that bad? Luckily, I helped Jiang Shichu!"
Seeing her relieved expression, Chen Wang asked, "Aren't you afraid that Chen Yunwei will hold a grudge because of this?"
Achu shook her head: "Don't be afraid! I have my sister to protect me!"
She paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "And Brother Chenwang, and Sister Maiya and the others!"
Chen Wang automatically ignored the first and second halves of A Chu's sentence, only listening to what he wanted to hear in the middle.
He nodded and promised, "With me here, no one can hurt you."
Achu nodded vigorously: "I believe you!"
Chen Wang asked A Chu if there was anywhere else she wanted to go, but A Chu shook her head: "Let's go home, there's nothing interesting to see in the base."
"Okay, let's go home then."
However, Achu did not go home. Instead, she went with Chen Wang to visit Building 1 in Block B where they lived.
