Chapter 44
Today is the day when final grades are announced.
Early in the morning, Pei Muyang clocked in in front of Jiang Chengyi as usual, and then sat leisurely at his workstation.
In fact, his daily workload is so small that it can be ignored. Rather than being a secretary, he is more like a mascot. His daily task is to sit in the president's office and grow mushrooms.
I don't know whether it brings wealth or not, but it's a waste of air anyway.
I turned on the computer in front of me and logged into the school website when no one was paying attention. I entered my student ID number skillfully, and the scores for each subject this semester quickly popped up on the page.
Pei Muyang was a little surprised.
He actually completed his junior year with the best grades in all subjects.
This should have been enviable big news that caused a sensation in the whole school, but the whole thing changed because someone mentioned on the forum that "he is Pei Yu's son".
People no longer focused on Pei Muyang's own excellence, but instead began to abuse the despicable behavior of the father and son who had so far refused to publicly apologize to the victim.
They don't dare to be arrogant in front of others, but they are more boastful than the other behind the Internet.
Pei Muyang could endure this for a while but not forever, especially when he saw that they actually cursed Old Pei to never wake up, he completely exploded.
"Haha, I don't understand your logic. Why should someone who has done nothing wrong apologize? Do you have any evidence? If empty words can defame a person's innocence, then are the 400-plus articles of the Criminal Law written to serve as a table cushion for ignorant people like you? Evidence is being collected. I hope the day the truth comes out won't be too painful. By the way, I want to call out those who maliciously curse others. God is watching what you do, so be careful that your words will come true for you in the future."
Signed: Pei Muyang.
Pei Muyang was really furious.
He raised two middle fingers at the computer screen and couldn't help thinking while closing the school forum.
If Pei Yu's current situation did not allow him to cooperate with the investigation, why would they all think they could escape legal sanctions?
And there is Xie Yuqing.
From the moment Lao Pei got into trouble, he had already made up his mind to give up the opportunity to go abroad and take care of Lao Pei and Ye Shan. But that was because he didn't want to go, which was different from being tricked by someone in secret.
I just feel unhappy.
Although he has been busy making money to support his family recently, he has not given up looking for Xie Yuqing. After all, in order to prove Lao Pei's innocence, Xie Yuqing's confession and evidence must be in his hands.
Now that we are in our senior year, most students have chosen to leave school for internships, so it is extremely difficult to find Xie Yuqing.
Fortunately, Qin Jie has some connections. I heard that she is still in City A, but has moved out of the school. It is only a matter of time before he finds her rented place.
When he finds the person... A sinister look flashed in Pei Muyang's eyes.
He never wanted to make things difficult for a girl, especially one with a rough life, but if Xie Yuqing was the one who acted unjustly first, then don't blame him for being unsportsmanlike.
After all, Pei Muyang never regarded manners and upbringing as so important.
Just when Pei Muyang was stunned, Jiang Chengyi appeared in front of him with a cup of lightly iced milk tea.
"Would you like to have lunch together?"
Milk tea with less ice and 50% sugar is the kind Pei Muyang drinks most often, and it is also the conclusion Jiang Chengyi came to after repeated observations.
He always involuntarily focused his eyes on the boy, observing Pei Muyang's every move like a peeping Tom lurking in the dark night.
"No, I have to go home at noon."
"Why?"
"My mom blocked the sewer, and I have to go back and fix it."
Pei Muyang picked up the milk tea on the table without hesitation, inserted a straw and took a big sip, then answered with his eyes half closed in comfort.
“Why don’t you find someone to fix it?”
“It saves money.”
"I remember I just transferred 50,000 yuan to you."
"That money can be used for other things. Besides, it's better to save as much as possible. Who knows if something unexpected will happen tomorrow?"
Jiang Chengyi took a deep breath and wanted to say something else, but he saw Pei Muyang quickly throw his backpack over his shoulders, picked up the unfinished milk tea and waved, "See you this afternoon."
After saying that, he ran out of the president's office and disappeared.
Jiang Chengyi's face froze slightly. He returned to his seat and raised his hand to press the office intercom. Only three seconds later, the call was picked up by the other end.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang."
"Zhou Yue, help me find out why Pei Muyang is so short of money."
"Okay, Mr. Jiang."
Since the mountain is not on my side, I have no choice but to go to the mountain.
The company is six bus stops away from the rented house. When I got home, Ye Shan was not at home. She must have gone to the hospital and had not returned yet.
The doctor said that Lao Pei's vital signs were relatively stable, but there was no sign of waking up, so he asked his family to spend more time with him when they had time to see if they could awaken his subconscious.
This not-so-bad news became the motivation for Ye Shan's life. She rushed between the hospital and home every day, and never tired of recalling with Pei Yu the ordinary yet sweet past when they were in love.
Sometimes when I talk too much, I would pick out a few things about Pei Muyang's childhood, but I found that this child has never been obedient since he was a child and is not cute at all. So the more I talk, the more angry I become, and in the end I have no choice but to give up the topic and go back to talk about the story of the two of them from the beginning.
Regarding Pei Yu's condition, the hospital actually recommended transferring him to the intensive care unit, because the cost of the ICU is really not affordable for ordinary families. The daily cost is equivalent to an ordinary person's monthly salary. This expensive cost has completely discouraged many patients' families.
When Pei Muyang heard this, he pondered for a moment. He looked at Wang Yu very seriously and asked, "If I leave the ICU, will my father have an accident?"
"The intensive care unit has specialized equipment and nurses, so it won't have a significant impact on the patient's condition. Furthermore, the cost is much lower than in the intensive care unit. Personally, I recommend that the family agree to the transfer. Of course, if you have concerns, you can choose not to transfer."
Wang Yu's words were sincere. After spending some time with him, Pei Muyang knew that he was a highly professional and responsible doctor. Out of trust in him, Pei Muyang signed the consent form without hesitation.
Of course, the main reason is that their family savings have been almost spent during this period.
He really can't afford to waste any more time.
The cost of the intensive care unit is about one thousand yuan a day. Pei Muyang took out forty thousand yuan from the fifty thousand yuan he had just received and deposited it into the hospitalization fee. He would use the rest of the money for living expenses and be ready to deal with loan sharks at any time. That's why he even saved money for unclogging the sewer.
Pei Muyang just got home and put down his backpack. He put the frozen dumplings in the refrigerator into the pot to heat them up, then took off his white shirt and changed into a short-sleeved T-shirt so that he could move more easily.
Open the connection between the pipe and the sink, drain the sewage, use disposable chopsticks to pick out the blocked debris, pour the pipe unblocker, and skillfully connect the pipe back. The whole operation took less than a quarter of an hour.
All I can say is that human potential is truly unlimited.
Before the accident at home, he could barely be considered a young master who had never had to do housework. Although Pei Yu didn't earn much money at that time, it was enough for him to hire hourly workers to do housework every now and then. Usually, Pei Muyang was considered diligent if he could wash the dishes after meals at home.
Pei Yu expressed his disgust at this, but was unwilling to force it. It was said that young people nowadays did not know how to do housework at all, and his son was just a little more useless than others. It was not like he had done anything unforgivable bad, so he just had to endure it.
Now, for the sake of this family, Pei Muyang has not only learned to cook and do housework, but he can even do things like changing light bulbs and unclogging sewers with ease.
He thought to himself, if Old Pei knew about this, he would definitely be very pleased.
In the afternoon, Pei Muyang returned to the office on time.
The young and clean boy was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt and casual trousers. His slightly long hair was softly draped over his forehead. Because he was at work, the originally exaggerated earring on his left ear was replaced with a very simple style. There was a carefree and unrestrained look between his brows, as if he was bathed in sunshine.
You can't tell at all that the sewer has just been repaired.
Jiang Chengyi asked Pei Muyang to come out of sincerity, and he didn't care how much value he could create for the company. He just wanted to be able to see him within his sight when he was tired from work.
I have to say, it was a wonderful feeling. Even if I just looked at him from a distance, I would be distracted, as if all the tiredness could be swept away in the glance between us. Every moment in life was full of hope, as if no matter how big the difficulties were, they could be easily solved.
He felt that he was poisoned by Pei Muyang.
He simply couldn't imagine what would happen if he hadn't found Pei Muyang, or if he accidentally let him leave his world again.
The boy's every move easily controlled his heart, making him happy because of him, sad because of him,
He felt that he was really hopeless.
Pei Muyang felt uncomfortable all over because of the burning gaze.
He followed his gaze and found that Jiang Chengyi had been looking at him for a long time with his chin supported by one hand.
"Is there...something I need to do?"
Pei Muyang closed the short video webpage guiltily.
Oh no, my boss caught me watching short videos at work. What should I do to keep my job? Waiting online, it’s urgent!
But Jiang Chengyi didn't care about his desertion at all. Instead, he asked him seriously, "I have an extra job here that can pay you a corresponding salary. Would you like to consider it?"
Extra work?
"What is it?"
"I need a tutor for the child who's boarding at my house. I see your resume shows good grades. Could you please help me with my homework? I'll pay 500 yuan an hour."
"How many?"
"five hundred."
"I'm willing. I can start working right away. Thank you, Brother Yi, for your trust!"
Five hundred per hour!
This is more than twice the salary of college tutors on the market. Only a fool would refuse such a good thing!
After agreeing to start working after get off work tomorrow, Pei Muyang happily went home to prepare lessons.
However, human joys and sorrows are not shared.
At the same time, Zhou Yue was looking at the person in front of him with a cracked expression, "Boss Jiang, do you have any children at home?"
"That's why I asked you to go find it."
Jiang Chengyi couldn't help but rub his eyebrows and said tiredly.
"No... I can find other things, but how can I find the child? You can't ask me to kidnap one, right?"
"I don't care whether you kidnap or borrow from someone I know, I must see a child before tomorrow afternoon."
Zhou Yue remained silent. He racked his brains but couldn't figure out why his flawless career had been faced with such a severe challenge.
He cried inwardly with tears streaming down his face. Sure enough, this job was finally done for today...
Ade, my career! Ade, my million-dollar annual salary!
Jiang Chengyi put down his hand that was rubbing his brow and glanced at his special assistant's face, which looked hopeless. As a black-hearted capitalist, he finally realized that his behavior of exploiting his employees was not right. So he slowly said, "If you take care of this matter, your bonus this month will be doubled."
This sudden remark made Zhou Yue's desire to resign sink into his stomach.
Withdraw the money early, it will hurt your feelings if you don’t!
Zhou Yue gathered his broken heart and, displaying his professionalism, assured, "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang. I'll definitely find a suitable child for you before tomorrow afternoon."
Seeing Zhou Yue turning around and about to leave without stopping, Jiang Chengyi couldn't help but call him back and warned him, "By the way, kid, be a good boy. Don't make me angry and leave."
"Okay, Mr. Jiang."
Hey!
Life is not easy, the more I sigh.
