Chapter 49 Beautiful lady, do you have a job?
"There are 207 pieces of paper money in total. Should we get some incense to round it up?"
"No, we all use electronic payments now, why are you still rounding it up? Forget it, give me three bundles."
Three bundles of incense were inserted into a black plastic bag, and a phone call came in from the side announcing a payment.
The construction sites around didn't stop work because it got dark; after all, it's the height of July, and it's easier to work when the temperature drops.
However, the searchlights at the construction site did attract a lot of customers to Aokido.
As the Ghost Festival approaches, most people rush to pay respects to their ancestors before the festival.
A place that is not too dark and has no flammable materials or residential areas nearby is just right for burning paper money.
Zhu Jin is still enjoying her last vacation. Northern University starts early, and she will have to rush back to school the day after the Ghost Festival.
"Go! Go!"
Yes, beat him up!
"Tap the crystal! Tap the crystal! Yay!"
The long-awaited victory lit up on the screen, and Zhu Jin finally had a great time.
With only 3% battery remaining on her phone, and no power outlet by Zhu Jin's bedside, she simply left it in the living room to charge.
Ma Ye had already moved the recliner outside and was holding a palm-leaf fan, waiting for the next guest to arrive.
"Brother, how many did you sell tonight?"
Before Ma Ye could answer, she directly checked her phone balance, which showed over 800 yuan, which should be today's revenue.
"Luckily, Master bought enough goods for the Qingming Festival this year. Once they're all sold, your living expenses for the second half of the year will be covered."
"Keep it yourself. I'm a paid person, I don't need your pittance."
"Good boy, that's exactly what I've been waiting for you to say!"
He then snatched the phone and transferred the balance directly into Ma Ye's own bank card.
Zhu Jin wasn't angry; she simply put her hand gently on Ma Ye's shoulder, pretending to be concerned.
"Brother, you've worked hard these past few days, you should take better care of yourself."
As he increased the pressure on his hands, Ma Ye's face gradually relaxed, and he gently waved his palm-leaf fan, making both of them feel much cooler.
"You've grown up quite a bit. Don't worry, I'm not going to leave you none of this money."
"If you ever want to buy a car or a house in the future, I can help you with the down payment."
"No need, I can earn money myself."
Brother, I'll be content if you treat yourself better.
Ma Ye felt the muscles in his left shoulder gradually loosen, but he didn't feel much in his right shoulder, which was the most sore and swollen.
Since it was a relaxing time, he closed his eyes and enjoyed it.
But I didn't have my phone in my hand, and I was a little bored. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw that my facial recognition payment was successful.
"Hibiscus, what did you buy!"
"Two cups of milk tea, 300 yuan worth of barbecue, over 200 yuan worth of duck parts, and a fruit salad!"
The phone fell directly onto Ma Ye's legs, making his groin clench, but fortunately, the position was slightly off.
Turning around, I saw that Zhu Jin had already rushed into the bathroom, and the "Do Not Enter" sign on the door had been flipped up.
"Bro! Tidy up the fridge, we won't be able to finish our food tonight!"
"You ordered so much food you can't finish it all!"
The lanterns of Qingmutang hung below the signboard, swaying gently in the night breeze. Fortunately, they were made of LED bulbs, which were energy-efficient and safe.
Not far away, two figures were whispering in the darkness by the construction site fence, the searchlights overhead casting long shadows.
"Could that person be it?"
"There's probably a 30% chance, but we've only met once, so it's not very certain. Why don't you find an opportunity to try?"
"Boss, that last time was scary enough. Even if there's a 30% chance, I wouldn't dare try it!"
The shrill male voice immediately lost its strength, and he curled up on the ground, the back of his head hitting the metal with a dull thud.
The loud female voice beside him seemed unsure of herself either, and she squatted down with him.
In the darkness, two pairs of eyes emitted a faint red glow.
"We've been wandering around in this world for over twenty years, never staying anywhere for long. We're really getting tired."
The lighter's flame lit up, igniting a cigarette in the darkness and highlighting her red hair.
Even if Ma Ye didn't tidy up the clutter in the refrigerator, he could still see "Li Qianqian" crouching in the dark watching Qingmu Hall.
Li Qianqian had visited Qingmu Hall last night, but the Three Pure Ones enshrined there made it impossible for her to get close. Even from a distance, she felt she might be discovered at any moment, so she simply returned to the fruit shop where they met and waited for them to come to her.
As a result, the fruit shop went from opening to being transferred in just half a day, and she could only wander around Jinchuan City, just like every day for the past twenty years.
"Why don't you try my place?"
"Forget it, these days, it's hard enough to find a job that lets you work peacefully for half a month."
"If we both go, I'm afraid the boss will suddenly die."
"Why don't you go home and wait for me? You can't find a new job anyway."
Are we going back to a life of doing nothing?
Li Qianqian still wanted to try her luck again. After eating plain noodles for a month in her rented room, she developed a physical aversion to dried noodles.
But I can't find hourly or temporary workers. Instead of wasting energy changing my appearance, I might as well lie in bed and stare at the ceiling, since I can't access the internet or play on my phone without an ID card.
The neon lights of the murder mystery game shop across the street had already been turned off, and Zhao Fangqu didn't plan to stay up all night anymore.
The remaining employees also chose to leave today, as the surrounding construction noise made it difficult for him to create a pleasant atmosphere in his shop.
"Brother, are you still hiring waiters/waitresses?"
I can't keep doing this job anymore. My boss hasn't paid me this month, and I'm about to starve.
What? They're short-staffed in the kitchen! Quick, tell the boss, I'll be over in a bit!
After hanging up the phone, the employee didn't even bother to look at the two people at his feet. He got on his bicycle and rode off towards the main road.
But after only a couple of pedal strokes, the chain broke inside the hinge, throwing him to the ground.
"Damn! Even drinking cold water gets stuck in my teeth."
The two pairs of eyes, crouching on the ground, exchanged a helpless glance, then turned to look at the tower crane overhead before silently walking away.
"Did you do this?"
"My hands are itching to..."
Standing in the middle of the road, "Li Qianqian" stretched his shoulders. He probably needs to go back to his rented room for a few days for now.
A series of honking sounds came from behind, and a deliveryman wearing a yellow helmet sped past the two on his electric scooter.
"What are you doing standing here in complete darkness!"
The dust that rose up got into Li Qianqian's eyes and bumped into Zhao Fangqu who was walking over.
"Sorry, some dust got in my eyes."
"It's nothing, it's just that I wasn't looking up while I was walking."
The two met eyes as if by some strange twist of fate, and Zhao Fangqu thought the girl's red contact lenses were quite beautiful.
The construction site's searchlights happened to turn around and shine on "Li Qianqian's" red hair, perfectly matching the image in the murder mystery game shop's signature script, "The Umbrella of the Girl in Red."
He was stunned for a moment.
Li Qianqian, fearing that the fellow had been possessed again, quickly called out:
"Sir, are you alright?"
As he was being shaken, Zhao Fangqu's belt snapped, but he also turned around and pulled up his pants.
"Hey beautiful, are you currently employed? My murder mystery game shop happens to need an employee with your look!"
The sudden recruitment made "Li Qianqian" a little embarrassed, and Zhao Fangqu in front of her thought she was worried about her income.
"Our business isn't doing too well, but don't worry, we can work together as a partnership!"
Daily earnings: 30% for you, 70% for me, guaranteed daily settlement!
"Okay! I'll start work tomorrow!"
