Chapter 353: Chapter 353: Job Chapter 353: Chapter 353: Job Su Yun’s heart sank.
That voice… She turned and saw Pei ng stepping into the crowd, grinning like an idiot.
Oh no.
“She’s new to this!
She’s still learning!
Give her so ti, and I’m sure she’ll improve!” Pei ng clapped a hand on Su Yun’s shoulder, beaming.
“Besides, she’s my fiancée!
I’ll personally make sure she gets better at cooking!” The crowd exchanged glances before slowly nodding.
“Well… if she improves the taste and lowers the price, maybe I’ll try again.” “Yeah, but she better not try to scam us next ti.” “Fine.
We’ll give her one more chance.” As the crowd started dispersing, Su Yun stood frozen, her fists trembling at her sides.
She wanted to scream, to throw Pei ng into the nearest wall, but she had to hold it in.
She forced a smile, even as she felt like crying.
‘I hate this.
I hate this so much.’ What Pei ng said just now confird that her cooking wasn’t good!
This b*stard!
In the end, Su Yun didn’t earn even a single penny from her stall, instead, she lost all of her savings.
Su Yun sat in her small rented room, biting her lip as she thought about her next move.
Her savings were gone, her food stall was a complete failure, and now she was completely broke.
She needed money, and she needed it fast.
There was no way she was going to work hard like those fools outside, sweating under the sun and fighting zombies.
She was far too delicate for that.
No, she needed soone else to give her money.
And who better than Pei ng, her devoted, foolish ‘fiancé’?
With a plan forming in her mind, Su Yun made her expression pitiful, eyes slightly red as if she had been crying for hours.
Then, she called Pei ng to her room.
The mont Pei ng stepped inside, she let out a small, choked sob, lowering her head like a helpless maiden.
“Pei ng… I don’t know what to do anymore,” she whispered, her voice trembling.
Pei ng’s eyes widened in alarm.
“Su Yun!
What happened?
Are you hurt?” Su Yun shook her head and sniffled.
“It’s not that… it’s just… I have nothing left.
I spent all my savings on my food stall, and now I have no money at all.
I can’t even afford my next al… And… and you know I can’t kill zombies!
How am I supposed to survive?” She wiped her nonexistent tears, sneaking a glance at Pei ng’s face.
As expected, he looked distressed, his brows furrowed deeply, his lips pressed into a thin line.
“Don’t worry, Su Yun!” he said, his voice full of determination.
“I won’t let you suffer!
Just give one day.
I’ll do sothing about it!” Su Yun lowered her head again to hide her smirk.
‘Hah!
This fool really fell for it!
He’s definitely going to bring a big bag of money tomorrow!’ Outwardly, she put on a grateful expression and nodded weakly.
“Thank you, Pei ng… You’re the only one who cares about .” Pei ng grinned and patted his chest.
“Of course!
I’ll always take care of you!” The next day, Su Yun was full of excitent.
She couldn’t wait to see Pei ng walk in with a big bag of money.
She could already imagine herself spending it on luxurious food, beautiful clothes, and maybe even a new plan to find a richer man.
She quickly fixed her hair and put on her best pitiful look before Pei ng arrived.
KNOCK!
KNOCK!
Su Yun imdiately straightened her back, smoothing down her clothes before opening the door with a gentle, expectant smile.
“Pei ng, you’re here…” Pei ng stood outside, smiling brightly.
However, Su Yun quickly noticed that he was hiding one of his hands behind his back.
Her heart skipped a beat.
‘That must be the money bag!
It must be so full that he’s trying to surprise !’ Feigning concern, she tilted her head and asked sweetly, “What’s that behind your back?” Pei ng chuckled.
“Do you rember what you told yesterday?” Su Yun nodded quickly, trying her best to look weak and helpless.
“Yes… I told you about my struggles…” Pei ng bead.
“That’s right!
So, I thought about it all night, and I finally found a solution for you!” He extended his hidden hand and handed her a black plastic bag.
Su Yun’s eyes lit up for a brief second before she quickly masked her excitent.
‘This fool is really too easy!
I’ll pretend to refuse the money first, then accept it tearfully so he feels even more satisfied helping !’ She waved her hands weakly.
“Oh, Pei ng, I can’t possibly take your money.
You’ve already done so much for …” Pei ng tilted his head in confusion.
“Money?
No, no!
It’s not money, Su Yun!” Su Yun’s smile froze.
“…What?” Pei ng grinned and pushed the bag into her hands.
“Go on!
Open it!” Feeling a strange sense of dread, Su Yun slowly opened the bag.
When she saw what was inside, her entire body stiffened.
A cleaner’s uniform.
She stared at it, her fingers tightening around the cheap fabric, her face turning pale.
“Pei ng… what is this?” Pei ng’s eyes sparkled with excitent.
“It’s your new job uniform!
I applied for a job on your behalf and got you a position as a cleaner!
Isn’t that great?
You don’t have to worry about money anymore!
Now, you can earn your own salary!” Su Yun felt like she had been struck by lightning.
Her lips trembled.
“Y-You… You got a job…?” Pei ng nodded enthusiastically.
“Yes!
Now you won’t have to rely on anyone else!
You can stand on your own feet!” Su Yun wanted to scream.
Her whole plan was ruined!
Instead of getting free money, she was now expected to work?!
She forced a stiff smile.
“Pei ng… I… I don’t know what to say…” Pei ng laughed and patted her shoulder.
