Chapter 81 The best gift

Fu Huaiyi then took out a set of keys and gave them to her.

"The main door key and the room key are both here. I won't keep them; I'll ask you for them if I need anything."

Lin Yuyao knew he did this to put her mind at ease.

It turns out there really are people as upright as bamboo poles.

"Brother Fu, thank you."

Lin Yuyao suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, this is for you."

I promised him last time that I would send him a signed copy of her book once it went into mass production.

This is also the first signed book in her career, and she even sewed a beautiful cloth bag to put the book in.

Fu Huaiyi took the cloth bag with a puzzled look, opened it, and found that it contained a book.

"yours?"

Lin Yuyao smiled and nodded, "I promised to give it to you last time."

Fu Huaiyi's heart was filled with emotion as he tightly gripped the cloth bag.

Today is his birthday, and this book is the best birthday gift he has ever received.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

He was a man who rarely showed his emotions, but his excitement made it difficult for him to control his feelings.

"Go to work, it's getting late."

I had to get her away quickly, otherwise things would get out of control.

"Oh, right, I need to go earlier today. Brother Fu, I'll be going now."

Only after she left and the hallway was empty did he dare to press the book to his chest and grin excitedly like an idiot.

……

Lin Yuyao bought a steamed bun downstairs and rushed off to work.

She needs to take a few hours off today, so she has to go early.

Before Sister Zhou and the others arrived, she cleaned the house, put the books away, and did all the chores that needed to be done.

When they arrived at work, they found there was hardly anything left to do.

"Yuyao, why are you here so early today?"

"Yes, he did all the work by himself."

Lin Yuyao wiped her sweat and said with a smile, "I have to leave early this afternoon, so I came early."

"Hey girl, you're too honest. There are only a few of us. If you have something to do, just go ahead and do it. Leaving a little early won't hurt, it won't dock your pay. Why are you making up for it in the morning?"

Lin Yuyao felt that if you left early, they wouldn't say anything, which meant they were kind people.

We shouldn't always try to take advantage of others.

Everyone felt better when she arrived a little earlier.

But you can't say it like that; you can't directly say you can't take advantage of others.

Lin Yuyao then smiled and said, "I was so excited about my brother's visit that I couldn't sleep. I got up early today and since I didn't have anything else to do, I came over early."

"Tsk tsk, look at that, how eloquent she is."

Both of them thought that she was a really hardworking and honest girl.

Her ex-fiancé missed out on her; let's see what kind of ending he gets.

"Yuyao, whoever marries you will be truly blessed."

There are quite a few customers on weekends, with people coming in one after another to buy notebooks and pens.

Buy ink, buy paint...

There are also people buying books and study materials.

In big cities, it's a real test of patience. Even before school starts, many parents are already bringing their children to buy study materials for the next semester.

If this were in their rural area, students would never have any books in their schoolbags other than those provided by the school.

Besides novels.

……

Fu Huaiyi invited him to dinner today, and Yi Yunshuo arrived in Chenshan Town early to find him, but he brought him another piece of news.

"There's something I feel I need to tell you, about Comrade Xiao Lin."

When it comes to her, nothing is trivial to Fu Huaiyi.

"what's up?"

"Old Wang found out that we had someone spread the story about Comrade Xiao Lin blocking Lu Jiangting to return the money."

"Hmm? Is Old Wang mad at you?"

"No, Old Wang knows that Lu Jiangting borrowed money from Comrade Lin, but he doesn't know that we've been spreading the word around."

"Oh, what then?"

"Old Wang called him over and questioned him. I don't know what they talked about, but when he came back, he had money in his hand. I heard him tell Liu Anguo that Old Wang lent him the money so that he could repay Comrade Xiao Lin."

"Yes, that's a good thing."

"What's so good about it? I followed him all the way and saw him hesitate and circle around the bookstore entrance for a long time before turning around and leaving."

Fu Huaiyi: "..."

"He didn't even go in, and he hasn't paid back the money. Do you think we should tell Comrade Xiao Lin about this?"

I definitely have to say it.

Fu Huaiyi turned around and walked towards the bookstore.

But he stopped halfway through.

He felt that if he took charge of this matter, Yao Yao would start overthinking again.

Since it was something Yi Yunshuo overheard, let him say it.

"You go."

Yi Yunshuo: "Huh? I'm going?"

"Yes, don't say you've seen me. Go tell her what you saw, and it's up to her what she does."

Upon hearing this, Yi Yunshuo understood what he meant.

"Okay, I'll go tell them."

Fu Huaiyi hid in the shadows and did not enter the bookstore.

Yi Yunshuo entered the bookstore and saw Lin Yuyao busy. He greeted her with a smile.

After she finished her work, Yi Yunshuo went up to her and told her about how their boss had lent money to Lu Jiangting.

“I heard everything he said. The money was lent to him by Lao Wang, who told him to come and pay you back. But this kid is dishonest. He wandered around outside your shop for ages without coming in, and then left with the money.”

I don't know if he didn't want to disturb you at work, or if he changed his mind. After thinking about it for a long time, I still felt I should tell you.

Lin Yuyao's forehead throbbed.

I thought to myself, "How could Lu Jiangting possibly be afraid of disturbing my work?"

He's been wandering around outside for ages without coming in; he probably wants to use the money to solve something else.

That won't do.

Lin Yuyao deftly took off her work badge and pinned it to Yi Yunshuo's sleeve.

"Brother Yi, could you cover my shift for a bit? I'll treat you to dinner later."

Yi Yunshuo: "..."

"What are you doing?"

"I need to go find Lu Jiangting to get the money. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, she went to ask Zhou Jing for leave. When Zhou Jing heard this, she pinned her work badge to Yi Yunshuo's other arm without saying a word.

"Do me a favor, I'll go with Xiaolin."

what?

How can someone who's only half-baked take over for two people?

"Huanhuan, I'm going out with Yuyao for a while. You'll have to work hard."

"Okay, you go ahead."

Lin Yuyao was deeply moved, "Sister Zhou, Sister Liu..."

Zhou Jing said, "Stop talking, let's go first, or we won't be able to get it back if we're late."

Lin Yuyao nodded, and the two of them jogged together to Fang Qing's house.

Lin Yuyao knew where Fang Qing lived. One night, she heard her child crying. Out of curiosity, she looked out from the small rooftop and saw Fang Qing beating her son in the building across the street.

It looked like some mischievous children had broken something; they had the lights on, and they were still quite noticeable in the dark.

The two jogged to Fang Qing's door, both covered in sweat.

After catching her breath, Lin Yuyao said, "This is it. Sister Zhou, please stand back a bit, I'll knock on the door."

“Okay, I’ll stand here. As soon as the door opens, I’ll quickly block it.”

Lin Yuyao nodded, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

A voice soon came from inside the house, "Who is it?"

Lin Yuyao said in a high-pitched voice, "It's for reading water meters."
