Chapter 12: Twelve Hundred Million "The world is going downhill, you scoundrels!"...
Zhang Ziyang's message popped up again: [Why didn't you reply after seeing this? Who allowed you to go so long without replying to my message?]
Xin Jingli rubbed the hair on his arms and took a breath.
It's too greasy. What kind of vision did the original owner have? Just the fact that she liked Zhang Ziyang could be enough to put her on the criminal record.
[Xin Jingli! What kind of hard-to-get game are you playing?!]
"Are you doing this on purpose? Do you want me to worry?"
The message sent by Zhang Ziyang was full of oil between the lines. Xin Jingli felt as if he had eaten ten kilograms of fat and felt uncomfortable all over.
Who's playing hard to get? I just don't want to bother with you, okay?
She rolled her eyes and said, "Go away."
System pop-up prompt: [Zhang Ziyang's favorability towards the host has changed to -10]
……ah?
What kind of M attribute is this? She cursed him once, and his favorability increased by ten?
Xin Jingli opened his mouth in disgust, moved the screen away from his eyes, and let out a disgusted "eh".
After a while, Zhang Ziyang sent another message: [I'll give you one more chance. Speak nicely and come work overtime with me.]
This time, Xin Jingli sent a pink loopy sign-holding emoticon: [/滚.jpg/]
The system popped up a prompt again: [Zhang Ziyang's favorability towards the host has increased to 10]
Xin Jingli:?
Wow, it’s a positive number now?
Across from him, Zhang Ziyang looked at the adorable Loopy and curled up the corners of his mouth slightly.
Girls really like to send these pink and tender things, and his girlfriend also likes to act coquettishly with him in this way.
He clicked on the collection and followed a pink piggy to act coquettishly: [/No!jpg/]
[Do you like these? I have many more cute emoticons.]
He sent more than ten pictures in succession, GGboom, SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick... whatever was cute.
Is this enough?
Now she could tell he was trying to coax her, right? He leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and shrugged, waiting for Xin Jingli to come over and do overtime for him.
As a result, a dialog box pops up: [Roll]
There were no expressions or tone, just a crisp and powerful response, as if it had hit him in the face.
She seemed... really disliked him.
What about his job?
no.
Zhang Ziyang's mouth curled up, he stood up quickly, and hurriedly took out the long-forgotten cell phone number and dialed it. As soon as the phone rang, it was immediately hung up.
He was unwilling to give up, so he quickly called again, but was hung up again.
The third time, the other party said the line was busy and blocked me.
[Xin Jingli, why didn't you answer my call? What are you doing?]
Zhang Ziyang typed these words tremblingly, pressing until the screen was almost cracked, and sent it.
Fortunately, she didn't block him.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
But Xin Jingli didn't reply to her for a long time.
A new message popped up, from his girlfriend Zhu Xiang: [Honey, when will you be back? I'm starving.]
Zhu Xiang is very beautiful and has many admirers. Although her family is not wealthy, she is considered a mature lady and has never had to deal with women. She left home for him and they rented a house together. He was the one who cooked every night.
Compared to Xin Jingli who would bring him breakfast in the morning, Zhang Ziyang felt empty and suddenly felt bored.
The phone rang, and he answered it. A half-coquettish and angry voice came from the other end: "Why don't you reply to my message! I'm hungry and you haven't come back to cook! I'm going to be angry!"
Zhang Ziyang held his phone, leaned back in his chair, rubbed his nose, and remained silent.
Zhu Xiang continued to act like a spoiled brat: "Say something! I'm mad! I'll punish you by making you bring me a midnight snack later! I want sashimi, and I want the freshest, otherwise I won't be able to coax you!"
He supported his head and sighed.
Sensing his impatience, Zhu Xiang's voice immediately sharpened: "Zhang Ziyang, what do you mean? You're not replying to messages or talking. Are you fed up with it?"
Zhang Ziyang looked at the mess of work on the screen, and his mind got heated, and he quickly replied: "Yes, let's break up. I'm tired."
"Okay, Zhang Ziyang, don't regret it!"
beep-
After the call was hung up, Zhang Ziyang suddenly realized that when he called back, Zhu Xiang had already blocked him. He had sent messages to Zhu Xiang, but she had also deleted and blocked him on WeChat.
This time, not only did we lose the wife, but we also lost our army.
"Depend on!"
Zhang Ziyang threw his phone on the table and grabbed his hair in frustration.
-
The next afternoon, at the company, the supervisor was furious in the office. Zhang Ziyang stood aside, silent, and the messages in the group became lively again.
[Zhou Xuhui, you lost yesterday's bet. You'll treat me to dinner tonight.]
[Okay, I admit it. I didn't expect Xin Jingli to be so stubborn this time and actually not come.]
[It seems she has finally awakened. I kind of admire her. Her hardworking and uncomplaining nature. As long as she isn't blinded by love, she'll succeed in everything she does.]
[Tsk, you don't think she's really quitting, are you? Life will be tough for us from now on, and we still haven't found a new colleague.]
【I miss her a little bit.】
…
"Ah!" Xin Jingli was riding a shared bicycle, weaving through the alleys, and sniffed.
It's strange. She doesn't have a cold, so why is she sneezing all day? Could it be that Zhang Ziyang is scolding her?
That shouldn't be the case. Zhang Ziyang's favorability level soared to 50 last night. Logically, he shouldn't scold her anymore.
Unable to come to a conclusion, Xin Jingli shook his head. The shared bicycles were parked under the tube building.
The landlord said that the rent was due today, so Xin Jingli simply came to check out.
She hired a few housekeepers to throw away things that needed to be thrown away and clean up the rental house. Xin Jingli took a last look at the empty single room and felt mixed emotions.
Say goodbye to the past completely, say goodbye to the self who was short of money, and help the original owner say goodbye to the miserable life caused by love brain.
She didn't take anything with her, went downstairs directly and handed the key to the landlord, Aunt Xue.
Aunt Xue happily took it and said that if you still want to rent a place, you can contact her. Then she turned around and called someone, "Are you Xiaoyan? You said you wanted to rent a place last time? I just found a single room here. Come and take a look. I'll give it to you for a hundred yuan less."
That's how big cities are, people come and go, and when one leaves, there's immediately another to take their place, there's never a particular person who has to be there.
She shrugged, waved to the landlord, and rode her bike around the neighborhood.
The narrow alleys, the tricycle stalls, the aroma of food from the kitchen next door, and the neighbors who greet you when you meet them, each one is independent of the modern city of Dongcheng.
Without the financial pressure of visiting the tube-shaped building, Xin Jingli finally saw its beauty. He had only felt it was crowded before.
However, she is single now, so if she had to choose, she would still choose Chen Hong's villa.
Who can resist money? After all, few people live in a tube-shaped building voluntarily.
She raised the corners of her mouth and passed by a dead end. Her eyes quickly glanced at the crowd inside and she didn't take it seriously.
After riding five meters, Xin Jingli pressed the brakes, turned around and hissed.
The guy who was just pinned to the ground, have you seen him somewhere before?
She backed up and stood at the entrance.
The boy on the ground had a handsome face and a slight scratch on his cheek. Five or six strong men surrounded him like a wall.
"Give me back the money, you little brat! Where do you want to run off to with your mother?"
"Last time, your mother said she would pay us back, but she ended up defrauding us for half a month and didn't get a penny! Now that we've caught you, let's see if she still pays us back!"
When the boy heard that he was going to find his mother, he immediately twisted his wrist and struggled, pulling the corner of his mouth with an injury and yelling: "Don't look for my mother, come to me if you have any problems!"
The people around laughed. "Come for you? You're just a kid who just graduated from high school. What are you going to do to pay me back?"
Xin Jingli frowned, this voice looked so familiar.
Xu Zhanyan!
How did he get pinned to the ground?
Xin Jingli abandoned the car and walked in.
The system panicked: [Host, host! You're crazy! You can't even protect yourself with your current strength. Don't let anyone kill you. I can't protect you!]
"Then I can't just watch Xu Zhanyan get beaten to death, right?" Xin Jingli quickened his pace.
"Call the police! What's the point of a gunfight?"
"Let him go!"
As soon as the system finished speaking, Xin Jingli shouted.
system:……
After saying this, several big men turned around.
Among them, the leader is called Zhang Zengqiang, a debt collector hired by Zihao Company. He is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 180 kilograms. He is muscular, has big tattoos on his arms, and has naturally fierce eyes and eyebrows. He was born to collect debts.
Xu Zhanyan's father, Xu Jianguo, lost three million gambling under a wealthy man and ran away for half a year without paying back the money. When they found him, he had jumped to his death, leaving behind his son who was still in high school and his wife who worked in a supermarket.
As the saying goes, a son pays his father's debts. No matter how small a fly is, it is still meat. The helmsman of Zihao asked him to be responsible for debt collection, and every bit he can get back is a good thing.
So, whenever he had nothing to do, he would go to Xu Zhanyan and his mother's house, either stopping Xu Zhanyan on the way home from school or stopping his mother on the way home from get off work.
But this mother and daughter were cunning. They moved at every turn, which made him spend a long time looking for them. This time was even worse. He had been looking for them for two months. Zhang Zengqiang was already furious, and when he saw a frail little girl coming to join in the fun, he became even more furious.
He waved his fist at her and said in a threatening tone: "Get out of here, or I'll punch you to death!"
A little girl, riding a shared bicycle, wearing sportswear and looking sick, how much money can she have?
Xu Zhanyan, who was pinned to the ground, saw this and immediately shouted at her, "Go away! I don't know you. It's none of your business!"
The sound echoed in the dead end, then drifted out of the alley and into the surrounding shops.
Xin Jingli was stunned.
She's so thin, yet she can actually speak with such strength? Not bad.
Coincidentally, the system popped up a prompt: [Xu Zhanyan's favorability towards the host has increased to 53 points]
Xin Jingli raised her eyebrows, it seemed like she had played the role of beauty saving the hero correctly.
She folded her hands and was about to speak when she heard a chaotic sound of footsteps behind her. Turning back, she saw nearby residents, vendors, and passersby. They were crowded at the entrance of the alley, all looking in. They didn't know what was going on, but when they saw the boy being pinned to the ground, they all pointed and said:
"Oh, a few fat, big-eared men are bullying a little kid."
"It's shameful. If you have something to say, why not just talk it out nicely and hit a child?"
"Don't talk about the child, look, this little girl is here. They just wanted to beat her up."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the world is going downhill. These people are so unreasonable, barbaric, and hooligans."
"Look, look, he has tattoos, he must be a gangster!"
