Chapter 79: Cousin Lin is in trouble and saves the girl...
Chapter 79
Lin Mujin was called out by her cousin Lin.
She was very curious about this; it was a rare thing.
"Brother, what's the matter?"
It's just that there is no mirror nearby, otherwise she would find that she is feeling very sneaky now, with an expression like a spy or a secret agent.
Cousin Lin hesitated. "It's just... our family is looking for someone, don't you have any candidates?"
Lin Mujin shook her head. "Not yet. I don't usually socialize much."
She was no longer particularly close to her former classmates, and after recovering her memories of both lives, she had no intention of contacting them again.
In addition to moving frequently, she also has to work part-time to earn money, so it is normal that she doesn't have many friends.
"I'm thinking of asking Boss Feng, Boss Gao, or Sister Zhu to see if they have any recommendations. If that doesn't work, I can put up a job posting on the food truck."
This is what she came up with.
Cousin Lin's expression was a little unnatural. "What do you think of our neighbor Li Xiuying?"
Lin Mujin felt something was wrong, but she still replied, "I'm fine. What's wrong?"
Cousin Lin asked again, "Do you think we should hire her?"
Lin Mujin simply shook her head, "No."
Cousin Lin frowned and asked anxiously, "Why?"
Now the two of them were standing at the stairwell. If they turned around, they could see Li Xiuying's door. Lin Mujin didn't answer her cousin, but instead asked, "Brother, how much is our monthly rent? Including water, electricity, gas, and the water heater."
This time, cousin Lin was puzzled. "It should be around 1,200 or 1,300."
Lin Mujin nodded. "That's about right. So, how much are we planning to spend on hiring someone?"
Cousin Lin replied, "One thousand yuan..."
Lin Mujin spread her hands. "It's not that I don't want to hire Sister Xiuying, it's just that she might not be interested in the salary we offer. Although I don't know Sister Xiuying's previous job, I can infer that her salary is not low."
Cousin Lin said, "She is the lobby manager of the Xinxing Hotel. The hotel provides meals, so she rarely cooks at home."
Lin Mujin smiled playfully, "Brother, you know a lot. What's the situation? Confess and I'll give you some leniency."
Cousin Lin pursed his lips and said, "One time I couldn't sleep, so I went outside to smoke. I was bored and just wandered around the street. I don't know where I was when I saw Li Xiuying being held by two drunks. We're neighbors, so I couldn't just ignore it, so I stepped forward to help."
Lin Mujin looked as if she suddenly understood, "Oh, so it's a hero saving a damsel in distress."
This tactic may be cliché, but it works.
"Brother, has the beauty never thought that she can't repay you with anything but her body?"
Cousin Lin ruffled her hair. "Don't talk nonsense. It's not true. Li Xiuying resigned. I think she's quite capable, so I thought..."
Lin Mujin was so amused, "Brother, do you really have no idea?"
Cousin Lin shook his head and said, "I don't want to look for one yet. Let's make money first."
Lin Mujin crossed her arms with one hand and supported her chin with the other, complaining in her heart that this man said one thing and meant another.
No one can think so much about a neighbor.
For example, she was worried when she saw Li Xiuying's red and swollen cheeks, but because of her sense of boundaries, she didn't ask.
This is normal for her.
"Brother, when I get back I'll discuss this with Sister and increase your part-time salary by fifty yuan a day."
This way, I can save money as quickly as possible and find a girlfriend and fall in love as soon as possible.
Haha...she is such a considerate and good sister.
Cousin Lin waved his hand and said, "No, no, one hundred dollars is enough. My salary at the factory is less than two thousand dollars."
Lin Mujin said, "Isn't this about adding a new product? You'll be more tired in the future, so a raise is inevitable. It's not appropriate for my sister and I to both earn more while you stay the same."
Cousin Lin was about to reach out again, but Lin Mujin was prepared and jumped to the side.
"Stop touching my hair!"
"Brother, do you know why she resigned? Was she beaten that day?"
Just out of curiosity.
Cousin Lin pursed his lips and said, "She was misunderstood. It was an unprovoked disaster."
Lin Mujin didn't expect that cousin Lin really knew the truth, so she said that there was something fishy going on between the two of them, but he still refused to admit it.
snort!
But when she asked again, Cousin Lin refused to talk in detail.
Emma, it made her very anxious.
His eyes rolled. "Brother, you said Li Xiuying is unemployed now. It would be hard for her to rent this house again. Why don't you go ask her about renting the house so that my sister and I can each have our own room. By the way, you should also ask about her job search. If she's willing to do some temporary work, she could also work part-time at the food truck. Forty dollars a day."
This price is definitely too high. Part-time workers earn more than permanent workers.
Of course, it was because of cousin Lin.
Cousin Lin frowned. "Our house is really nice. It's not crowded, the residents are all well-mannered, the landlord is easy to talk to, and it's very safe."
Lin Mujin sighed, "I didn't say it's bad. I'm just worried that if Sister Xiuying moves out and another large household comes in, everyone will have to fight over the bathroom and the kitchen. Then the quality of life will plummet. So we might as well rent it."
She knew that her cousin Lin was worried that it would be dangerous for a single girl like Li Xiuying to rent a subdivided flat just to save money.
She just had bad intentions and didn't agree with him, so that he wouldn't share the gossip details with her.
Humph! Humph!
Cousin Lin looked towards Li Xiuying's door and said, "Why don't you go ask. It would be more convenient for you since you're a girl."
Lin Mujin shook her head like a rattle. "No, no, we're not familiar with each other, and it's rude to just show up. Brother, don't worry about the rules between men and women at this time. Since Sister Xiuying is willing to tell you about her, you should go and ask her before she feels comfortable enough to speak. Even if I go, she'll probably just say it's okay. Oh, Sister Xiuying hasn't eaten all day, has she? Brother, don't you have a bowl of seafood porridge left at home? I'll just give it to her."
We've already laid the groundwork to this point, it would be impolite not to take action.
"Okay, brother, I have to go back. Sister is probably finishing the accounts and dividing the money."
Then he clenched his fists and said to his cousin Lin, "Come on!"
If you are a man, hurry up and don’t be afraid!
As soon as Lin Mujin entered the room, her cousin asked her, "Why did Brother call you out? You sound so mysterious."
Lin Mujin said nonchalantly, "Nothing, just discussing recruiting."
Cousin Lin speculated, "Did he recommend someone? Was it a former coworker of his?"
Lin Mujin nodded and shook her head, "I did recommend someone, but it wasn't from his coworker."
Afraid that she would ask again, "Sister, have you finished recording the account?"
Cousin Lin handed over a stack of money directly.
At this time, cousin Lin also returned to the room, and cousin Lin called him, "Brother, today's money. Brother, who do you want to recommend to A Jin?"
Cousin Lin took the money and said nonchalantly, "No one."
Then he opened the refrigerator naturally and went out with the bowl of porridge.
Cousin Lin didn't even share the money. "Brother just took the bowl of porridge. Didn't he have enough to eat at night?"
Lin Muli, who had been reading at the dinner table, asked, "Did I cook too little dinner?"
Lin Mujin, who knew the inside story, sang meaningfully, "It's hard for a hero to resist the temptation of a beautiful woman~~~"
