[New Task Released.]
Just as Li Zhiyan was about to go to sleep, the system issued a new task!
[Please resolve Zhao Shumin’s trouble today.]
[Task reward: A small reflexology spa.]
"The eighth shop is on the way!"
Li Zhiyan clenched his fists, his heart brimming with excitent!
...
The next day, after washing up, Li Zhiyan felt a distinct sense of excitent.
Sure enough, the reward for [Height Growth] really works wonders!
He stepped out of the bathroom.
As usual, Zhao Shumin was carrying breakfast from the kitchen toward his room.
"Aunt Zhao, it slls amazing!"
"Hurry up and eat. Afterward, go to work quickly, don’t be late."
In this cold, indifferent city, Zhao Shumin’s care always ward Li Zhiyan’s heart.
"Sure, Aunt Zhao. How many followers do you have now?"
"Almost 1,000."
"That’s fast, Aunt Zhao! How about we film a video showing your face? If you think your chest is too noticeable, you could wrap it up with so cloth."
"That way, there won’t be so many weird comnts."
"I’ll think about it."
Zhao Shumin’s face turned red. Ever since that subtle shift in their relationship, Zhao Shumin found herself blushing more and more often.
"Aunt Zhao, take your ti to think. No rush."
As they ate, Zhao Shumin’s mind drifted to the mont when Li Zhiyan had kissed her at midnight. One whole minute. Was she spoiling him too much?
...
The dayti went as usual.
Catherine, once again, asked Li Zhiyan to wipe her high heels, massage her black-silk-clad feet, and even extended her foot into his lap.
This left Li Zhiyan feeling helpless. For the sake of making a living, he had no choice but to massage the delicate feet adorned in black stockings of this foreign beauty every day.
Of course, his massage skills were continually improving.
After all, he possessed the [Massage Master] attribute!
Whenever he massaged Catherine, she would always close her eyes contentedly, while Li Zhiyan would shalessly admire her slightly voluptuous black-stockinged legs.
And Catherine always rested her foot on his stomach, making Li Zhiyan feel as if she were doing it on purpose.
During a break in the morning, he cashed in on his latest wild bonus.
He had visited this Lottery Store a few tis before.
The shop owner already recognized him.
The owner, envious of Li Zhiyan’s luck, remarked that even after scratching through stacks of scratch tickets himself, he ended up losing money.
If only he had Li Zhiyan’s luck, he wouldn’t need to run a store.
To that, Li Zhiyan modestly replied that perhaps he was just having a streak of good fortune—luck isn’t eternal, after all.
After work in the afternoon, he still had Liu Jinxin take care of cleaning the restroom and scrubbing the toilet.
Liu Jinxin had always been very cooperative with such tasks, even enthusiastic!
Because Liu Jinxin believed this was a sign that Catherine was planning to promote him.
Recalling the scene of chatting with He Yanrong at the driving school earlier that afternoon,
Li Zhiyan silently cursed under his breath countless tis, "You son of a bitch."
Riding a Green Orange bike to the street labor market, Li Zhiyan saw many porters with carts waiting to find work.
Most of the porters had heads full of white hair.
Once upon a ti, these porters could earn a decent living by helping others move or doing the laborious tasks their clients didn’t want to do themselves.
But with today’s advancents in technology, making money wasn’t as easy as it used to be.
When the porters saw Li Zhiyan approaching, many of them gathered around.
"Boss, need any work done? Strong and cheap!"
"Any heavy lifting? Just say the word!"
Even so won with arms more muscular than Li Zhiyan’s crowded forward.
"Boss, don’t underestimate because I’m a woman. I work just as hard as any man!"
Li Zhiyan asked, "Do any of you know how to hurl insults?"
A few fierce-looking won stepped up.
"I can curse people!"
"I can curse too!"
"Boss, just so you know, we’re not supposed to fight."
Li Zhiyan responded, "Of course not. We live in a civilized society; you can’t just start fights in this day and age."
Li Zhiyan was well aware of the consequences of getting into a fight.
"Just swearing, that’s all. The opponents are a few won."
"It’s for tonight—and strictly words, no fists."
"I’ll need four people. 100 each."
Hearing that they could earn 100 just by cursing, several tough-looking won scrambled to step forward.
anwhile, most of the honest, hard-working n quietly withdrew. After all, when it cos to talking trash, won clearly had the edge.
"Boss, pick ! Back in my village, I was the best at hurling insults. When soone stole our pumpkins, I cursed for an entire month!"
The other fierce won also regaled him with their "heroic deeds" in cursing battles.
Li Zhiyan was quite satisfied with what he heard.
After selecting four won, he led them toward his ho.
On the way, he bought each of them a bottle of soda and a bottle of mineral water.
The won only drank the mineral water, saving the soda to take ho for their kids.
"Ladies, let give you the backstory on the woman across the street."
Li Zhiyan recounted the details about the landlady and everything she had done, so they could unleash their verbal attacks with maximum efficiency.
After all, purely verbal insults wouldn’t be as effective without weaving in so relevant context.
At 7 p.m., Zhao Shumin also returned ho.
Ever since Shang Yunsheng reappeared, Zhao Shumin’s heart had been filled with vigilance.
That damned scoundrel was capable of anything, so she had to stay on high alert.
She always carried a pair of scissors in her bag.
She had also prepared pepper spray. Deep inside, Zhao Shumin had resolved that even if it ant going down together, she would never let Shang Yunsheng harm her again.
