Chapter 132

"Yu Zhouzhou, I’m about to open a shop, and I’d like to ask you to come help me. Would that be okay?"

After Zhu Yun finished speaking, she looked at Yu Zhouzhou.

Yu Zhouzhou looked very hesitant,

glanced at Qin Feng, and then shook her head: "Sorry, I’ve already promised Qin Feng."

Hearing this, Zhu Yun muttered in her heart: "Silly girl..."

Then, she secretly kicked Qin Feng.

Qin Feng smiled and said: "Zhouzhou, that’s what I was talking about."

"Zhu Yun’s company is about to be established, and there are many things to be busy with, so I recommended you to Zhu Yun."

"Oh, I see."

Yu Zhouzhou replied, then nodded immediately: "Alright then, when should I start working?"

"What a treasure of a girl—she didn’t even ask about the salary or benefits and just agreed to come work..."

Zhu Yun muttered in her heart again,

then glared fiercely at Qin Feng: "Qin Feng, are you even human? You’re even tricking someone as innocent as Yu Zhouzhou. Sigh..."

However,

grumbling aside,

Zhu Yun said as they had previously discussed: "Zhouzhou, it’s like this: because the company is in the startup stage, I can’t give you too much salary. It’s 3,000 a month for now. What do you think?"

"3,000?"

Yu Zhouzhou hesitated for a moment.

Just when Zhu Yun thought Yu Zhouzhou felt it was too little,

Yu Zhouzhou said: "3,000 is too much. Zhu Yun, your company has just been established and needs money everywhere. I can actually do it for 1,500. Really, I work part-time at the second cafeteria, and that’s also 1,500 a month."

"..."

Zhu Yun was suddenly at a loss for words,

and inexplicably felt a pang of heartache for Yu Zhouzhou.

Silently sighing,

Zhu Yun then said: "Yu Zhouzhou, you are a founding employee of my company, so the compensation can’t be too low. Listen to me, 3,000 is 3,000."

"Then, let’s discuss it later."

Yu Zhouzhou didn’t agree just yet, but asked with a smile: "Then, Boss Zhu Yun, when should I come to work?"

"This afternoon."

Zhu Yun glared at Qin Feng again, then said: "Accompany me to find a storefront at the school this afternoon. Let’s start with renting a storefront."

"Yu Zhouzhou, let’s add each other on WeChat for easy contact."

"Okay."

Yu Zhouzhou nodded obediently and took out her old iPhone 8.

It was a phone her cousin had replaced.

Yu Zhouzhou saw it could still be used, so she told her cousin and took it to use herself.

Seeing the almost obsolete iPhone 8 in Yu Zhouzhou’s hand,

Zhu Yun, who was holding an iPhone 14, felt another pang of heartache and couldn’t help but kick Qin Feng again.

She then added Yu Zhouzhou on WeChat, finished her dumplings hastily,

told Yu Zhouzhou, and went back to the dormitory to get documents and application forms.

Then,

Qin Feng looked at Yu Zhouzhou with a smile: "Zhouzhou, actually I’m also your boss. Come on, call me boss and let me hear it!"

"..."

Yu Zhouzhou looked at Qin Feng with a flushed face, then said in a low voice: "Thank you, Boss Qin."

"Ah, that sounds so sweet."

Qin Feng laughed and reached out to pinch Yu Zhouzhou’s cheek.

Yu Zhouzhou was also smiling happily, her smile hiding happiness.

Back at the dormitory,

finding the relevant documents,

Zhu Yun and Yu Zhouzhou agreed on a meeting place,

and then, with a hint of anger, she dialed Qin Feng’s number.

"Qin Feng, are you still with Zhouzhou?"

"No, I sent her back to the dormitory first. She said she had clothes to wash."

"Alright, Qin Feng."

Zhu Yun paused,

then immediately raised her voice: "Qin Feng, are you even human?!"

"You keep saying Yu Zhouzhou is your girlfriend, yet you watch her wash dishes at the second cafeteria for only 1,500 a month?!"

"..."

Inexplicably yelled at by Zhu Yun,

Qin Feng laughed instead of getting angry: "That’s why I invested in your company, so you can pay Yu Zhouzhou 3,000 a month."

"You have money, why don’t you just give it to Yu Zhouzhou directly? And why won’t you let me tell Yu Zhouzhou the truth?!"

"Zhu Yun, you might not understand Yu Zhouzhou."

Qin Feng sighed slightly: "Although Yu Zhouzhou is obedient on the surface, she is a very strong-willed girl at heart."

"If I gave her money directly, she wouldn’t take a single cent."

"And if she knew the company was mine, then the 3,000 yuan you pay her every month, she would definitely save it all up and find a chance to give it back to me later. She wouldn’t spend a single cent on herself, do you believe me?!"

Qin Feng’s words

made Zhu Yun feel a bit more heartache for Yu Zhouzhou involuntarily.

Thinking about it carefully,

Zhu Yun nodded helplessly.

Yu Zhouzhou might really have that personality—although she is obedient, she is more strong-willed than anyone else.

However,

you could at least get Yu Zhouzhou a new phone, right?

The iPhone 15 is almost out, and Yu Zhouzhou is still using an iPhone 8...

Mumbling in her heart,

Zhu Yun asked again: "Then if you were to get Yu Zhouzhou a new phone, she definitely wouldn’t use it either?"

"No."

Qin Feng shook his head with a smile: "She would use it, but she would find a way to buy a gift of basically the same price to give back to me..."

"So, Zhu Yun, it’s not that I don’t feel heartache for Yu Zhouzhou; I just respect her—respect her attitude toward life and respect her choices. Do you understand what I mean?"

"..."

Zhu Yun was silent for a while,

sighed deeply,

and then said in a low voice: "Qin Feng, listen to me: if you ever dare to hurt Yu Zhouzhou in the future, I’ll be the first one to not let you off!"

"Too late."

Qin Feng laughed: "Don’t forget, you’re my little lover!"

"Pfft!"

Zhu Yun spat at the phone,

then asked: "Qin Feng, if I give Zhouzhou a gift in the future, will she find a way to pay me back too?"

"Yeah, so you’d better not do that. Zhu Yun, just respect Zhouzhou’s choices; there’s no need to try to change them."

"Alright, I know."

Zhu Yun nodded,

and after another moment of silence,

she said to Qin Feng on the phone: "Qin Feng, you really deserve to die. How did you manage to meet all the good girls!"

"Haha, you’re not bad either, my little lover!"

Qin Feng laughed and hung up the phone.

But subsequently,

Qin Feng unexpectedly received a call from the police station.

"Hello, is this Qin Feng?"

"Yeah, it’s me."

"I’d like to ask, do you know Qu Xiaoxiao? Are you close? She said you are her good friend. Is that true?"

"Yeah, that’s right."
