Chapter 9 Chapter 8

Zhuang Feifei

In the river embankment area and the bus station, it started to rain again. There is a high probability that suburban buses will be later than usual. Six 50 euros were held in his hands. Zhuang Xuteng put them under his nose and smelled them. Seeing this action

, Ge Gongdao on the side laughed.

"What are you doing? Is this a quirk of yours or just because you're bored waiting for the bus?"

"It smells of synthetic flavoring. This is asking for money from the boss. I read it correctly before... His hands were quick, and he stuffed the money into his pocket while taking the clothes." Zhuang Xuteng sighed.

, frowned slightly and said: "Should I put..."

"You should focus on your work and stabilize your life first. Don't be stupid enough to pay him back, he won't recognize it. He likes to make new people, which makes him feel like he's still in the circle." Ge Gongdao added:

"He thinks highly of you, that's why..."

"Thank you, Brother Dao. It's mainly because of your relationship. That... the 50/50 thing, could you please think about it again - after all, I don't have any experience."

"Huh! I'll give you half at most, don't ask for more! This matter is settled! If you want more money, then think about how to take on big business! This is like a piece of bread, no matter how you divide it, we

Neither of them is full. We still need meat, soup, and wine!"

The words are a bit rough, but this truth is indeed made of real gold.

"You don't have to worry about this now. You haven't entered the industry yet. Go home now. We will meet at the Red Moon Mall at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. There is a sculpture of a red moon in the square there, do you know that?"

Zhuang Xuteng nodded.

"That's it. At ten o'clock, I will take you to go through the mercenary procedures." Ge Gongdao explained: "There is no interview, just to let the middleman know that there is a new person in the city, and he is currently working with me. By the way.

Let’s see what commissions there are.”

"I'll be there at ten o'clock!"

Ge Gongdao lived in Hedi District. He put Zhuang Xuteng on the bus and walked home. Zhuang Xuteng took Line 7 southward and passed through Shizhong District. His final destination was in the southeast of the city, in the center of the city, the hub and

The intersection of Liming District and No. P76 Concentrated Apartment of Three Towers Group, his home is here.

The steam elevator requires 13 people to go up, otherwise you have to pay. Each person needs to spend a small steel coin for each gap, which is ten cents. There are some vendors crowded at the door of the apartment, and they are very willing to take care of you.

Under the premise of doing business, they will help you change money and turn euros into enough steel coins. As long as you are vigilant, they will do this honestly instead of stealing their hands into your wallet.

Nowadays, the euro has lost its former glory. The European emperor who brought the unified empire to a second spring 2,700 years ago seems to have exhausted all the good luck blessings he attached to the currency. The good luck "euro"

It had to give way to the "Time Coin", a kind of titanium and gold coin that can buy new money with extra life. It is also commonly known as the "Platinum Coin".

Zhuang Xuteng had only seen time coins in books and advertisements, he had never touched them with his own hands. The five hundred euros was the highest denomination currency he had ever touched with his skin. He needed nine more five hundred euros to exchange it.

to "One Platinum Coin".

He now needs one-fifth of his time to pay the rent, and the other one-fifth of his time to ensure his sister's tuition for the next semester.

After standing in front of the elevator for a while, the number of people never exceeded 7. He didn't want to wait anymore, so he started to climb the stairs. Returning at this time often encounters such a problem, the flow of people is not large enough. Zhuang Xuteng is relatively young, and the 13th floor is not suitable for him

It wasn't difficult, and he didn't want to waste time saving money for others who couldn't climb the floors.

He lives in room 1306, and the door is protected by a turntable combination lock. It will absorb part of the force of closing the door and adjust itself to a random position. Zhuang Xuteng rotates the code disk back and forth first left and then right to lock the correct number. When he completes 4

At /5 o'clock, the door opened.

A girl with red hair and twin tails stood at the door panting. Her eyes were moist, her lips were trembling, and she seemed to be about to cry. But in the next second, she became furious and raised her fist to hit Zhuang Xuteng on the chest.

He went up and said while beating him: "Brother, you bastard, where did you die! I thought you were dead!"

Zhuang Feifei, Zhuang Xuteng's younger sister, can tell that she is a real sister from the heavy strength and proficiency of her punches. She is 19 years old and is at her most energetic age. Even though she is under the pressure of studies and "extreme worry about her brother's safety"

And having thick dark circles under the eyes can't completely cover up the youthful atmosphere emanating from the white skin, handsome face and naughty freckles.

There are three brothers and sisters in the family, Zhuang Teng, Zhuang Xuteng, and Zhuang Feifei. It can be seen from their names that "Tengfei" is the core of the family, and a certain guy only plays a peripheral role as "Continuation". This is the case in terms of study. Zhuang Xuteng is both

Not as hard-working as his brother, nor as smart as his sister, he reluctantly entered a vocational school and barely graduated, while Zhuang Feifei was a top student at Sanliu Guanghui University in Peicheng.

"After I heard the news about the riot, I ran to the PCPD to ask for the list of casualties. They ignored me, so I went to various hospitals nearby... I have been looking for you for a long time, afraid that I would not find you, and that I would see you on the list.

You." Zhuang Feifei wiped away her tears, sniffed, and then said: "When I think about having to report bad news to my parents, I tremble with fear!"

"I'm sorry for making you worry. It's all PCPD's problem..."

"Brother, I don't blame you, it's just that neither my eldest brother nor your parents know that you lost your job, and sooner or later they will notice what happened last night."

"It happened the night before yesterday." Zhuang Xuteng glanced at the clock and saw that it was past midnight. He said: "Don't tell them, unless they ask very clearly. If they ask in detail, it means that they actually already know, but they just

Give us a chance to come clean."

"I don't like the feeling of hiding it from everyone."

"Be good, be obedient. It's not like you don't know the situation at home. Dad has used too many growth-promoting lamps, and his back has become a mess. He must reorganize his spine immediately, otherwise he will definitely... The treatment cycle is long and the cost is high. Brother has tried his best.

He can barely support it. Even if he can squeeze out a drop of energy, he will not completely hand over the responsibility of taking care of you to me."

"It would be great if I could make money..."

"You should study hard now, don't be like me! When you learn well and make a lot of money, I will shamelessly ask you to treat me!" Zhuang Xuteng took out 300 euros from his pocket, leaving 50 euros for himself, and the rest

I gave it to my sister. "I'll give you a task: tomorrow you hand the money to the building manager first and say it's part of the rent."

"This is not enough!"

"Of course I know, that's why I asked you to say nice things. That fat old lady has a prejudice against me, and I can't impress her." Zhuang Xuteng didn't want his sister to worry too much, so he said, "It's fine if you don't want to go, anyway.

If you have time, we’ll submit it together when we have enough.”

"Any news on the compensation?"

"Not yet." Zhuang Xuteng's eyes dimmed and he said: "Many of my workers have died, and if the protests cannot be organized, it is very likely that I will not be able to get compensation. I am working odd jobs and looking for a job at the same time. I already have

If you have some clues, I will definitely put the money together."

"Well... okay..." Zhuang Feifei frowned slightly, looked at her brother, and said, "How about I find a part-time job too?"

"No, you put all your energy on the internship project. The time was recently. Did I remember correctly?" Zhuang Xuteng said: "The two months of July and August this year are very important to you. You must go all out.

Do a good job in the projects given to you by the school, which is related to your future development path. I suffered a loss in this matter back then, and you are not allowed to make the same mistake!"

"But I think it's difficult for you..."

"Indeed, it is difficult, but it is just a difficulty. As my father often said, let's overcome it!" Zhuang Xuteng gently tapped his sister's forehead with his finger and said, "I can't help you academically. In society, I can't help you."

I am better than you in finding a job. If you interfere, it will only reduce efficiency. You do the study you are good at, and I do the work I am good at, and do not interfere with each other. This is the way to overcome difficulties.

"

"Okay...Brother, you have to promise me that you won't be embarrassed to say anything when you need my help!"

"If I really can't solve the problem, I won't drag it out and go to my eldest brother and parents. I'm really ashamed, but even if I don't want to, I can't mess it up just to save face. As for you? You're still on the list.

You have to sit in the back row. Don’t think that you are an adult when you turn 18. You will not truly become an adult until you get good grades in school and start making money.”

"I know! I won't let you worry about your studies!" Zhuang Feifei stretched out her hands and wanted to rub her brother's face. This attempt to change family status relationships will definitely be counterattacked.

Zhuang Xuteng raised his hand, pretending to spank her, but Feifei had already jumped and ran away. The second brother was back intact. This was the best news in two days. She finally let go of her hanging heart, and she also recovered from the extreme anxiety.

Freed. "You haven't eaten yet? Can I make you some broth?"

"I've eaten. A friend treated me to fish ball wontons. I have to go to a job interview tomorrow, and you also have to go to school. Go to bed quickly. I'll wash my face and go to bed right away."

"Then I'll lay out the mat and get you a pillow, and you go and wash yourself." Zhuang Feifei pushed her brother into the bathroom and closed the door behind him.

He washed his face, rubbed his eyes, and used the bathroom mirror to check his back again. The shadow of the pink skull and the birthmark were still in place, which made Zhuang Xuteng breathe a sigh of relief. He stayed inside for a while, looking at himself in the mirror.

I sorted out all my to-do items again before I came out of it.

He found Zhuang Feifei lying on the floor with her pillow in her arms and already asleep. This girl was obviously too sleepy. Once she relaxed, it was normal for her to be like this. He carefully picked up his sister and moved her to the bed in the inner room.

She slept deeply, her body squirming slightly with her steady breathing, feeling like a small animal. Zhuang Xuteng covered her with a quilt, whispered "Good night, sweet dreams", and then closed the inner door.

He returned to the living room and lay down on the floor that belonged to him. He was very tired and fell asleep quickly.
