Zhou also asked one by one where he worked part-time before if there was any need for temporary workers. He also called some parents to ask if they needed tutors, while browsing local recruitment information.
After asking around, I finally found a parent whose child needs English tutoring this Saturday.
She used a red pen to circle the Saturday on the calendar and wrote down the content below.
She stretched and leaned back tiredly.
She had to try her best to pay Shen Muyan back.
By this time, it was already dark outside, the lights were dimly lit, people were moving around downstairs, and inside the building, residents were going up and down the stairs, opening and closing doors, making a lot of noise.
There was a message vibration on WeChat. She opened her eyes, picked up her phone and opened it to see that it was An Xin.
She transferred a thousand to her.
——Aye, you can tell me if you don’t have money. Although I can’t pay you back in one go, I can still scrape together some bits and pieces.
Zhou Ye was slightly surprised.
——Who told you that I have no money?
——Your elder brother!
Zhou Ye was stunned.
Then An Xin sent another message.
——I met your brother at the Dongcheng Club today. He asked about some of your part-time jobs and also mentioned that you couldn't pay the rent. That's when I found out about you. I'm sorry, you should have told me earlier.
Zhou Ye finally understood what was going on, but she couldn't accept that he asked An Xin in this way.
So he immediately dialed his phone.
"Hey!" Ji Yuning's voice.
Zhou Ye was startled for a moment. She didn't expect that she would answer the phone, but she quickly regained her composure, "Where is Shen Muyan? Let him answer the phone!"
"He's taking a shower, you have to wait."
Zhou Ye hung up the phone, feeling very angry.
Shen Muyan called quickly and she picked up immediately. He asked, "What's the matter?"
"Why did you tell An Xin that I couldn't pay the rent?"
"This is a fact. Is there a problem?"
Zhou Ye was already angry, but now he was even more furious, "Even if it's true, you shouldn't tell her that her family's situation is not very optimistic and she also needs money!"
"So you'd rather risk being evicted from your apartment than continue being a good person?"
"right!"
Shen Muyan sneered.
Zhou Ye also heard his laugh, which was very harsh. Her hand holding the phone tightened involuntarily. She took a deep breath and said, "I will return the money to you later. Don't mind my business in the future."
After saying that, she hung up the phone and immediately borrowed one thousand from Huabei and transferred it to her bank card.
She didn't have his WeChat account or his card number, so she couldn't transfer it to him immediately. She had to go to a nearby ATM to withdraw money and call Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang didn't come the next day, so she called him and found out that Shen Muyan had personally delivered it to him like she had delivered the coat yesterday.
In order not to owe him, she had to make another trip.
"Mr. Shen didn't come to the company today." Liu Hui said.
She remembered that she called him last night and it was Ji Yuning who answered the phone. They were probably together now.
She walked out of Shen's house and called him.
He quickly picked up, "Hello!"
She asked him, "Where are you?"
The tone was very cold, as cold as winter, as cold as a knife.
“South Shore Hotel.”
After hanging up the phone, she hailed a taxi and headed to South Bank.
"I've already arrived."
"I'm in room 695."
Zhou also wanted him to come down, but he didn't give her a chance and hung up the phone after saying that. When she called again, he didn't answer.
She took a deep breath, asked the front desk, walked into the elevator, went up to the sixth floor, and finally found room 695.
She raised her hand to knock on the door, but found that the door was already open. She took a step back and looked up at the number to confirm that it was this one.
She knocked again.
"Come in!" Shen Muyan's voice came from inside.
Then she pushed the door open and entered.
Shen Muyan bent over and picked up the Baitashan on the coffee table, took out a stick from it, held it in his mouth, lit it with a lighter.
He seemed to have just taken a shower. His hair was a little damp. He was wearing a white loose sweater and dark gray pants. He had a clean and refreshing breath.
He exhaled a cloud of smoke before looking up at her.
Zhou Ye quickly took out the money from his messenger bag and handed it over with one hand. "Back to you."
Her tone was very bad, hundreds of times worse than on the phone just now.
Shen Muyan felt very uncomfortable when he heard that. He did not take it, "No one has ever taught you that when you return someone's money, you must give it with both hands as a sign of respect."
Zhou Ye knew these etiquettes better than anyone else, but she really couldn't be friendly and polite to him. She put the money on the coffee table and turned to leave.
Shen Muyan pulled her back and looked directly at her with a cold expression, "You promised me yesterday that you would get rid of these bad habits of yours."
He pulled her hand so much that it hurt, as if he was going to crush her bones.
Zhou Ye endured the pain and looked back at him, "I was lying to you. I was just acting to get my phone and keys back. Do you really think that I would change myself for an annoying person? You take yourself too seriously." Take it seriously."
