Chapter 113 Three pairs of shoes.
She blurted out the truth, then immediately woke up: "It's too little, I don't have enough, I can't pay you back!"
Jing Hongyu couldn't help laughing: "I didn't ask you to pay me back. My living expenses are 10,000 yuan a month, so I don't care about that."
Shu Lan said weakly: "Oh..."
It turns out that going to college costs so much, ten thousand yuan. Fortunately, she dropped out of high school, otherwise she wouldn't be able to afford to go to college even if she got in.
Jing Hongyu asked again: "But what kind of job only pays 1,800 yuan a month? Are you being ripped off?"
"For fast food restaurant clerks, the first month is a probationary period, and the salary will increase by 500 after becoming a regular employee."
"That's only a little over two thousand."
Shu Lan frowned slightly.
What do you mean by just over 2,000? You can buy a lot of things with just over 2,000.
Cheap rice costs two yuan per pound, and twenty pounds are enough for her to eat for a month.
Pork costs ten yuan per pound, and eggs cost eighty cents each. If you eat meat, eggs and vegetables every meal, it will only cost five hundred yuan a month.
In addition, she can also buy some snacks for herself, buy one or two pieces of clothing, and after paying the rent, utilities, she may have a few hundred left to save for future use.
She didn't even have a high school diploma, had no relatives in the local area, and it wasn't easy for someone under 18 to find a job paying 2,000 yuan.
He actually complained that it was too little. He really has no idea of the sufferings of the world.
Jing Hongyu said, "I'll lend you 5,000 yuan. Use it to rent a place first. Don't sleep in the library anymore."
How much? Five thousand!
Shu Lan was very excited, but also became alert.
"Brother, we've only met twice, and you dare to lend me money?"
Jing Hongyu said as a matter of course: "What's there to be afraid of? You don't steal, rob, or cheat. I told you to find a job, so you did. You're such a good boy who listens to advice. Give me the account number and I'll transfer it to you."
Shu Lan hesitated, using her previous persona as an excuse to politely decline his offer: "I don't have a cell phone. It was stolen along with my luggage."
"Oh, I happen to have an old cell phone in my dorm. I'll get it for you."
Two hours later, Jing Hongyu went to class. Shu Lan stood at the university gate with a second-hand brand-name mobile phone and 5,000 cash she had just taken out of the ATM, her mind completely confused.
She glanced back at the university. It was a well-known school, a top institution often mentioned by teachers, not a place where rich fools gathered.
Shu Lan blinked and whispered absentmindedly, "He must be crazy. He doesn't even know my name."
Forget it, forget it, who cares! Anyone who doesn't use the money that's right in their hands is a fool.
No matter how you think about it, the only valuable thing about her is her looks. If Jing Hongyu is after this, he will be the next one to go to the emergency room.
Shu Lan, who was very active, quickly arranged accommodation for herself. Because the weather had changed, she also bought herself some new thick clothes.
Lying in bed, Shu Lan felt incredibly happy. She rolled over and heard her phone ring. It was Jing Hongyu who sent her a message: "Xiao Wei, have you found a house yet?"
Shu Lan looked at the message, countless thoughts flashing in her eyes. She tentatively said, "I've found it, brother. It's so much money, I may not be able to pay it back for a long time."
"It's a small thing. I bought one less pair of shoes, but it helped a little girl change her life. That's good."
If this statement is sincere, then he is simply a foolish and well-meaning person with a lot of money.
Shu Lan raised the corner of her mouth, turned over, and typed for him with her forearm resting on a pillow: "If you bring friends to eat at my workplace, I will secretly fill up the fries for you."
Jing Hongyu laughed loudly: "Hahahahahahaha..."
After working for a month, when Shu Lan was supposed to be promoted to a regular employee and get a raise, a new clerk suddenly came in, who was said to have some relationship with the boss.
Then the boss said that the sales had decreased a lot during the month she started working, and concluded that Shu Lan had secretly taken money from the store.
Shu Lan knew that she was being asked to make room for the newcomer. She was so angry that her hands were shaking. She said coldly, "There are surveillance cameras in the store. Don't slander me. Find evidence that I stole money."
The boss said confidently: "If you take it, you will definitely avoid surveillance. In any case, you are fired."
Shu Lan closed her eyes deeply, resisting the urge to splash the frying oil in his face. "You can fire me, but give me my salary for this month."
"You stole money from the store, and you still have the nerve to ask me to pay you? I'm lucky I didn't send you to the police station. Get out of here!"
The store manager was tall and strong, and he was also shameless. Shu Lan couldn't argue with him, nor could she beat him. She suppressed her anger, took off her work clothes and walked out.
Just wait and see, I will use the sales revenue as an excuse to slander her, and I will make sure that you will never have any sales revenue in the future!
She uploaded the videos and pictures of her complaints with Jing Hongyu to the forums and confession walls of nearby universities.
Title: "Exposing the unethical deeds of a certain fast food restaurant owner..."
Cheap chicken from abroad is thawed repeatedly. If it goes bad, the store clerk is asked to add more seasoning and sell it again. The store clerk is not allowed to pour out the blackened oil. In order to save wages, several people are employed and are busy from morning to night. No one is in charge of the dirty and messy kitchen hygiene.
It just so happened that at that time it was revealed that the virus mainly came from frozen meat products from abroad, and the operation of this store accurately hit the risk point of the entire network.
The store, which primarily catered to college students, went from booming business to being shunned in just two or three days. The chain store management, scrambling to address the issue, clarified that the manager's conduct was flawed and had been removed from his position, shut down for rectification, and promised that this situation would not happen again in other stores.
Shu Lan, the mastermind behind this, sat in her rental apartment, biting into a freshly cooked chicken she'd cooked herself and sneered, "Hmph, if you fire me, you won't have an easy life either."
Jing Hongyu asked: "Xiao Wei, even though you worked for a month in vain, don't be too sad. Just think of it as getting rid of harm for the people."
Shu Lan's eyebrows drooped rapidly as she fiercely tore off the chicken, muttering, "A fool is a fool. He doesn't understand the art of speaking at all. I finally got some good news, and now he's bringing up something he didn't do to upset me."
Even if it was only 1,800 yuan, that was her hard-earned reward for smoking fumes for a month! Does that mean she's not sad? She was so angry that she cried for a long time that day.
However, considering Jing Hongyu's warm-heartedness, Lord Shu Lan was generous enough not to argue with him and instead changed the subject.
"Brother, I plan to learn a craft. People with skills can earn more."
Jing Hongyu asked, "Do you have a plan?"
"I can cook, and my cooking skills are pretty good. I can learn to be a chef or bake, make cakes or something like that, or I can become a nutritionist. But before that, I have to find another job and save some money for tuition."
Jing Hongyu said nothing, and a red message popped up.
He transferred five thousand yuan to her.
Below it was a crisp word: "Learn!"
Shu Lan's thoughts at that time were not complicated at all. Her original intention was just to change the subject, but Jing Hongyu's transfer caught her off guard.
Could this person be the God of Wealth descended to earth?
Shu Lan was in a complicated mood. She didn't take his money. Instead, she took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and typed, "Actually, I lied to you."
Jing Hongyu replied: "I know, I saw it when I transferred the money. Your name is two characters long, with a "Lan" at the end. Your name is not Xiaowei."
Not just the name, but the real reason why she couldn't go home.
Shu Lan thought about it over and over again, and was so worried that her chicken soup was almost cold, but she still couldn't make up her mind to tell him the truth.
Based on her observation of Jing Hongyu over the past month, if she told the truth, Jing Hongyu, the big fool, would definitely persuade her to turn over a new leaf and start a new life, and might even help her pay off her medical bills.
What are you going to return? Her parents don’t care about her, so she doesn’t want Jing Hongyu, a fool, to meddle in her affairs.
She typed slowly, "Well, were you going to be mad at me if I didn't want to tell you my name then?"
Jing Hongyu said, "Hahahahaha, no, it's normal for girls to be a little defensive. Speaking of which, is 5,000 enough for you to learn a craft?"
"Thank you, brother. I have enough money. After I learn well, I will return you three pairs of shoes with interest."
She didn't want to owe him too many favors, so ten thousand was the maximum.
The local baking school was too expensive, so Shu Lan saw a cheaper one in the next city where the rent was also cheap, so she decided to move there and learn a craft.
Shortly after Shu Lan left, a terrible virus broke out on a large scale, and zombies appeared in every city, slaughtering citizens in the streets.
Shu Lan was running around to escape and her cell phone fell on the road. In addition, there were problems with global communications, so she lost contact with him.
Only the name Jing Hongyu always remained in her heart, with an invisible IOU attached.
