Chapter 43: The Taste of Seafood How did they get the money back? Wang Jiexiang only later realized how smooth-tongued Yin Xian really was. He was working in insurance sales. Once he put on that “professional” mask, he was the classic type who could say whatever people wanted to hear—sweet talk for people, ghost talk for ghosts. Yin Xian excelled at combining persuasion with pressure—first a slap, then a sweet date. He was bold too, daring to make empty promises even when he had no ability to…- 116.0 K • Completed
- Chapter 42: Demanding Wages Wang Jiexiang wiped her tears with her hand and lay down. He didn’t respond to her. She couldn’t tell if he had fallen asleep. —He probably found her an eyesore. Facing that shadowy silhouette, she spoke softly. “I won’t cry next time. Don’t hate me.” Yin Xian replied quickly. “I don’t hate you.” Wang Jiexiang closed her eyes, her voice muffled. “Really?” He sighed. The bed creaked as Yin Xian turned over, seemingly facing her. “Tell me, why…

- Chapter 41: Stray Dog The next day. The moment the alarm rang, Yin Xian shut it off. As he got out of bed to wash up, he looked at the person sleeping on the floor and finally recalled what had happened the night before. She’d come in and gone to sleep… Her long yellow hair was curled, her pale face soft like a lump of dough. Eyes shut, she faced the bed, curled up tightly on her side. A thin blanket was draped over her, but she hadn’t taken off her coat. Tattered, pitiful, yet alert and ready…

- Chapter 40: Lullaby of the Ru Bing Flower As soon as Wang Jiexiang arrived home, there was a knock on the door. She opened the door to find the landlord standing outside. Without needing to say much, Wang Jiexiang went inside, packed her belongings, and prepared to move out. It was the end of the month, and her rent had only been paid for this month. The landlord had already warned her earlier, and Wang Jiexiang remembered those "harsh words." She arrived with a backpack and left with the same…

- Chapter 39: Stepping Up Wang Jiexiang's resolve was broken the next day. It happened before closing time. It was late, and there were fewer customers in the store. Most of the staff had free time on their hands and gathered in the back to rest. Some played with their phones, while others smoked. Wang Jiexiang was folding the towels she had just dried. She could handle this task herself, so she let Jiang Bingbing sit down for a while. The staff were chatting about trivial matters, and Wang Jiexiang…

- Chapter 38: The Hair Salon After meeting the store manager, Wang Jiexiang was immediately hired. Jiang Bingbing grabbed her hand and was overjoyed: "Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you were looking for a job?" Wang Jiexiang smiled awkwardly. She had just arrived in the city and desperately tried to meet her. Jiang Bingbing didn’t even leave a phone number, so how could she contact her? "Jiexiang, we’ll look out for each other from now on. We can be as close as we were back home. If you…

- Chapter 150 – If You Want to Get Rich, Build a Road First Once the guests left, peace returned to Zhou Yimin’s household. Zhang Lu, like a wild horse freed from its reins, ran all over the village with the other kids and quickly became the top dog among them. Even Laifang soon became her little sidekick, looking like she was having so much fun she didn’t want to go back. In her heart, she probably thought the countryside was much better than the city. No one bossed her around here. The living…

- Chapter 149: Dried Abalone The next day, Lu Guofu returned to the city early, not even staying for breakfast. Last night, Zhou Yimin had clearly told him to have breakfast before leaving. But Lu Guofu really did have tasks to take care of. He needed to hurry back to the factory and then head out to screen films elsewhere. On top of that, he felt he ought to go home and talk to his two sons about the rice cooker. “Uncle Lu already left?” Zhou Yimin was taken aback. Luo Dapeng nodded. “Yeah! We…

- Chapter 148 – Liu Sanjie Lu Guofu began the preliminary preparations for the movie screening, taking his time to get everything ready. To ensure the quality of the screening this time, he hadn’t had a drop of alcohol earlier. If this had been anywhere else, there was no doubt he would’ve had at least a little, but this time, it was Zhou Yimin who’d asked for his help. To build rapport, he had to restrain himself. He had gone through these motions countless times before, so even without anyone…

- Chapter 147 – How It Works Zhou Yimin nodded. “Yes, they’re quite popular abroad. Honestly, our country could start researching this too—manufacture rice cookers for export and earn some foreign exchange.” At present, rice cookers weren’t easy to popularize domestically. First of all, they required electricity. Many households still didn’t have access to electricity, so a rice cooker would just be a useless ornament. Second, even if most households were electrified, given the frugal…
