The knocking on the door wasn't urgent; it was rhythmic, just like before.
Jennifer seemed to see someone standing outside her door with a strange smile, slowly knocking on her door, waiting for her to open it.
who is he?
This person gave Jennifer almost no time; from the moment she entered the house, he started by knocking on the wall, and gradually switched to knocking on the door.
Swallowing hard, Jennifer didn't open the door rashly. She just stood there with her lips pursed, her mind racing, trying to figure out who the other person was: was it a neighbor who had been spying on her since she entered the apartment, or was it someone who knew her information through other means?
In this indifferent and apathetic city, unless there are special circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for the natives to come to find you on their own initiative.
Rebel groups can proselytize in unmonitored slums, but if they do the same in the city of Viña, it's tantamount to handing their heads over to the law enforcement and waiting for them to come and collect them.
The knocking at the door stopped, and Jennifer hadn't heard any footsteps at all.
Has he left? Is he still standing at the door?
Jennifer was undecided because there was no peephole on the apartment door, so she couldn't hear anything by listening alone.
The reason the other party only knocked on the door instead of kicking it down was simply because they were afraid of having to pay compensation for damaging things in the apartment. This was also Jennifer's biggest source of confidence in not opening the door.
The door may not be very sturdy, but the person living here must not have much money and would be willing to pay this amount.
Almost as soon as Jennifer finished thinking about it, there was another knock at the door.
"Da da da, da da da".
The other party doesn't seem to have given up yet, which is not good news. Why did they notice me, and what do they want from me?
Or perhaps she was being targeted simply because she was a single woman?
Jennifer lowered her voice, trying to make her tone sound annoyed: "Who is it?"
"I'm your neighbor who lives next door, and I'd like to borrow something."
The voice outside the door was that of a rather gentle girl.
Jennifer and the other person had no language barrier; she felt her spirits relax with the sound of the voice, and her defenses softened because of it.
Even so, Jennifer grabbed what was at hand and cautiously walked towards the door: "What do you want to borrow?"
As Jennifer opened the door, a beautiful young girl stood outside with her hands behind her back, leaning forward slightly, trying to win her over with a charming smile: "May I come in and have a seat?"
“Okay…” Jennifer nodded subconsciously.
At almost the same time, Yin Zhu on the other side had also received her first pot of gold from her new employer and obtained a lot of information related to the inner city.
The child targeted by Yin Zhu is Mary, the child of a Class C citizen. Her father is a promising company employee who works exceptionally hard and has reported many colleagues who are suspected of being brainwashed by a rebel organization. It is said that the whole family has gained access to the inner city as a result.
This incident briefly sparked a wave of complaints within the company, but ultimately, due to too many unintended accusations and a severe impact on work efficiency, the boss called a halt to the practice.
This gossip was told to Yin Zhu by the cat-eared uncle.
The child's mother is even more remarkable; she is a top-tier official member of the Supervisory Bureau, a formidable and ruthless woman whose main job is reportedly tracking down rebels.
She was able to contact people in the inner city and rarely came to pick up the children, but she would attend parent-teacher conferences. She once publicly subdued a low-class citizen who ran to the school with a knife, seemingly suffering from a sudden illness, protecting all the children present. She was also Mary's idol.
This was naturally what the older man said.
Because the child's mother was busy most of the time maintaining the security of the city of Vina, only her father came to pick up the child.
Fortunately, although the two worlds are different in politics, economy and culture, mathematics remains unchanged.
Therefore, Yin Zhu, who personally passed the university entrance exam, quickly and easily obtained a job as the child's private tutor after demonstrating her solid mathematical foundation to the child's father.
The process of teaching the child doesn't need to be described in detail. It was simply that Yin Zhu explained it once, and the child said, "Okay, okay, I know all of this."
When the child was doing the problem, the child said, "I still don't understand."
Yin Zhu smiled at her and said, "It's okay, let's do it again." Yin Zhu had enough patience for the fake child from the Sin City Kindergarten back then, let alone this silly real child now.
After feeding the child for two hours, just as the work was about to end, the child's mother returned.
"Hello, Mama Mary, I'm her personal assistant." Because the new regulations in Vina City do not allow citizens to teach under the name of a teacher without authorization, Yin Zhu joined the company as a personal assistant.
I'm just helping my child learn more, not teaching them knowledge. How can that be considered violating the rules? All knowledge is something children figure out on their own, but even the smartest child needs to review and learn new things, right? I'm just helping my child organize and summarize the knowledge that's been crammed into their head.
It can only be said that when it comes to exploiting loopholes, as long as there is profit to be made, there are always more solutions than problems.
Mary's mother's description was similar to that of the cat-eared uncle. She scrutinized Yin Zhu with eyes as sharp as blades before nodding in response, "Mary is rather mischievous, thank you for your hard work."
She took off her coat, hung it on the hanger, and then walked straight to Mary's father.
Afterwards, Yin Zhu vaguely heard some seemingly ominous remarks, mainly from Mary's mother, who spoke in a very serious tone. The content of their discussion made Mary's father frown slightly.
Mary's eyes widened, and she pulled Yin Zhu closer to eavesdrop.
"...The higher-ups said it's cyber disease, and it's contagious...but it's under control..."
"...I think we should get away from Vina City..."
"...Actually, I suspect they're lying to us...Don't tell anyone, or we'll be seen as rebels..."
I think I heard something incredible.
With a stern face, Yin Zhu pulled Mary back into the house and solemnly lectured her: "Adults have adult secrets, and children have children's secrets. You are still young, so you can't eavesdrop on adults' conversations."
“You’re obviously curious too…” Mary muttered.
She observed very carefully, but Yin Zhu was always the one who could take the initiative in explaining things, and immediately changed the subject: "Because I am also an adult, so I can find out secretly."
