"What did I say?" Zhou Anqin had a faint smile on her mouth and said softly, "I didn't say anything, but you guys, saying you'll treat you to two meals of Dicos after finishing the work, that's absolutely no problem. Although I'm just a poor student, I can still afford to treat you to two meals of Dicos."

"No, no, no!" Mu Yun suddenly hugged Zhou Anqin's arm and kept shaking it like a child, "You clearly said just now that we each have a design fee of 2,000 yuan!"

Zhou Anqin hurriedly shook her head and denied it: "I didn't say that!"

However, the other five little women pointed their fingers at Zhou Anqin simultaneously and shouted in unison: "You said it!"

"Dead girl!" Huang Liming's finger pointed at Zhou Anqin's forehead: "Are you trying to swallow our design fees, and then go eat, drink, and be merry yourself, and buy beautiful clothes?"

Zhou Anqin laughed: "Alright, alright, stop messing around. The work this time doesn't look small, there are probably dozens of styles. However, the other party provides the design ideas, we only need to be responsible for the specific design work, it should be easier."

"Who is the other party?" Mu Yun asked curiously, "2,000 each, our six people's design fees are 12,000, they are actually so generous!"

Zhou Anqin said with great dissatisfaction: "I originally asked for 3,000 per person, but he was only willing to give 1,000. I talked to him for more than an hour and argued on reasonable grounds before I negotiated it to 2,000."

"Not bad!" Huang Liming rubbed her hands excitedly, her eyes also becoming exceptionally bright, and the joy in her voice was hard to hide: "When do we start working?"

In an era when the average monthly salary was 400 or 500, they could get 2,000 as students, which was really a huge sum of money. You know, when they did work for teachers, small jobs were basically busy for nothing, and big jobs took ten or twenty days, or even a month, but they could only get 80 or 100 in the end. And this time, 2,000 design fees per person was enough for a year's living expenses.

As for why they hadn't gone home after several days of vacation, it was because they had been assigned some tasks by the teacher before, which were actually private jobs the teacher took, and they hadn't been completed yet, so they stayed in school. Zhou Anqin found Zou Hui last night, saying there was something that needed their help, but the others weren't there at the time, so they made an appointment for this morning.

"The other party didn't say when to start working." Zhou Anqin pondered for a while and said: "How about this, I'll go see the other party again in the afternoon and ask when to start working, you guys wait for my news."

"Can!" Mu Yun nodded her little head, looking very excited.

"Then that's it!" Zhou Anqin stood up and said with a smile: "You guys eat, I'll take my fellow villager for a stroll around the school."

Huang Liming waved her hand with a smile and responded meaningfully: "Go, go, have fun!"

Then, she turned to the other four people and said: "Let's go get food, let's go shopping after eating. We can get 2,000 design fees for this job, I'm going to buy clothes."

"Right, right!" Mu Yun nodded and said: "Buying things is secondary, this job is not small, we won't be able to go out and play for ten days or half a month once we get busy."

Liu Ran followed Zhou Anqin out of the canteen and couldn't help but say: "I've already visited once when I came last time, why do I still need to visit?"

Zhou Anqin suddenly stopped, turned around to wait for Liu Ran to walk to her side, looked at him, and then walked forward again: "I'm going home now, you come with me."

Liu Ran naturally understood what home Zhou Anqin was referring to. His heart beat faster involuntarily, tension and excitement intertwined, and he stuttered: "I, I, I am going to your house? Then do I have to buy some gifts for Uncle and Aunt?"

"What kind of beautiful dream are you having." Zhou Anqin glared at Liu Ran, then her face became serious: "Something happened recently, I am picked up by Big Brother's people whenever I go out. If you walk by yourself, you might encounter danger. So I will send you to the hotel later, you go back to Jiangzhou directly tomorrow, and don't come to Beijing again before school starts."

Hearing Zhou Anqin's words, Liu Ran's nerves tightened instantly, and at the same time, he widened his eyes, full of tension and worry.

"What's going on? Is someone going to be unfavorable to you? Who is it? Tell me, I'll go kill him now!"

Liu Ran's voice raised an octave involuntarily, revealing a strong anger.

Zhou Anqin said irritably: "Alright, don't meddle blindly, this matter isn't something you can participate in. Big Brother is handling it, and there will be results soon. You just have a good sleep when you get to the hotel, don't run around at night, and take a taxi to the train station tomorrow morning."

Liu Ran's gaze fell tightly on Zhou Anqin's side face. Although he knew Zhou Andong's energy very well, he still couldn't help but worry about Zhou Anqin having any trouble.

"Is it really okay?"

Seeing Liu Ran's worried appearance, Zhou Anqin's eyes became softer and softer, and her tone became gentler than ever before: "Big Brother is handling it, what could happen? If it's something even Big Brother can't handle, do you think you can solve it?"

Zhou Anqin felt Liu Ran's gaze. She turned her head and looked at Liu Ran. Her eyes gradually became soft, and her originally tense expression relaxed.

"Big Brother is handling it, what could happen?" Zhou Anqin's tone was exceptionally gentle, which was something Liu Ran had never heard before: "If it's something even Big Brother can't handle, do you think you can solve it?"

After speaking, Zhou Anqin reached out, gently held Liu Ran's hand, and then quickly let go. This brief contact caused a warm current to surge in Liu Ran's heart, but it also made him worry more about Zhou Anqin's situation.

"Alright, don't worry."

Liu Ran slowly raised his hand, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, looking at the back of his hand for a while, and then looking at the palm. Then, he brought his nose close to his palm, took a deep breath, and revealed a silly smile that made people confused.

Originally, Zhou Anqin did this just to comfort Liu Ran and not let him worry too much. But who knew this kid would make such a move, which made Zhou Anqin's face blush involuntarily.

"Are you trying to die!" Zhou Anqin cursed somewhat coquettishly, and at the same time raised her fist, pretending to be angry and punched Liu Ran on the shoulder.

"Hahaha..."

The thick-skinned Liu Ran didn't feel anything from this punch and couldn't help laughing proudly.

Zhou Anqin hummed helplessly and turned around: "I'm going back to the dormitory to make a phone call, you just wait for me here."

"Alright!" Liu Ran agreed, standing honestly in place like an obedient child, then took a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it skillfully, and smoked leisurely.

Before Liu Ran finished smoking, Zhou Anqin came out: "Let's go!"

The two walked side by side to the gate. Zhou Anqin's gaze fell on a van opposite, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a cold smile.

"Came out, came out!" In the van, Er Lu widened his eyes, staring fixedly at the school gate, as if afraid of missing any moment. Finally, he saw Zhou Anqin and Liu Ran walking out of the school, and the excitement in his heart couldn't be suppressed, and he couldn't help but shout.

At the same time, the curly hair was closing his eyes, leaning against the back of the chair, smoking cigarettes one after another leisurely. Hearing Er Lu's excited shout, he opened his eyes suddenly, like being electrocuted, and turned his head to look out the window.

"Fuck, finally caught you!" The curly hair cursed gritted his teeth, and then kicked Er Lu without hesitation: "What are you waiting for, hurry up and start the car!"

"Huh?" Er Lu was stunned by this sudden kick, first screamed, and then came back to his senses, hurriedly stood up, wanting to crawl to the front to drive, but because he was relatively tall, it was really difficult to lift his legs and bend his waist to drill to the front in this narrow van.

"Damn!" The curly hair was so angry that he kicked Er Lu's butt again: "If you can't get over, can't you get out of the car?"

Er Lu was still unconvinced, but his bones were really too hard. After a struggle, he finally chose to give up this difficult way, turned back and opened the car door, got out of the car directly, and walked quickly to the front of the car.

Just as he got into the car and started the engine, a familiar Land Cruiser entered his sight and stopped slowly at the school gate.

The curly hair sneered and threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it: "Damn, if I let you run away this time, I'll kneel down and kowtow to you, calling you Grandpa."

The Land Cruiser drove away quickly, and Zhou Anqin and Liu Ran, who were originally standing at the school gate, also disappeared from their field of vision with the departure of the Land Cruiser.

"Quick, follow!" The curly hair shouted urgently.

Er Lu stepped on the gas pedal hard, the engine made an unbearable roar, and the van rushed out. Just as Er Lu was changing lanes, a Nissan Duke King suddenly drove from behind like a ghost. Then there was a loud bang, and the van shook violently.

Er Lu's body was completely dominated by this powerful inertia, and his head hit the left car door like a cannonball. Instantly, blood gushed out from his forehead like a spring, dyeing half of his face red.

And the curly hair sitting in the back was even worse. Because Er Lu was driving, he would instinctively grab the steering wheel after the impact to maintain the stability of the vehicle and the balance of his body. But the curly hair didn't have such conditions, and he was sitting on the right, and the impact position was also on the right, which made him completely lose control, and he flew off the seat violently.

Then he hit the left seat heavily again, his lips were knocked into a big gap, several front teeth were forced to retire, and blood foam flowed out along the corners of his mouth.

Fortunately, they were driving a broken van, just starting to change lanes, and the speed hadn't picked up yet, and the other party's speed was relatively slow. Otherwise, with this angle of impact, the two of them would have had to account for it today.

Er Lu and the curly hair were both stunned, but a thought suddenly popped into their heads: this was absolutely not an accident.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Suddenly, a dull sound of impact sounded, and the van shook violently like a small boat beaten by stormy waves. Through the car window, one could see a man with a face full of anger standing outside the car, his feet kicking the car body hard like raindrops, each kick accompanied by angry curses.

"Fuck your mother, don't you have eyes when driving? Are you blind? Don't you look when changing lanes?"

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Another more violent sound of impact came, and immediately after, another man appeared outside the car. His movements were rougher than the previous man, not only kicking the car door but also smashing the car window with his fist.

"Get down, motherfucker, is there anyone who drives like you?"

The curly hair and Er Lu climbed out of the van with difficulty, their heads still buzzing from the impact just now, and their vision was somewhat blurred.

After a long while, they recovered, however, when they saw the two people standing in front of them with faces full of anger, they were stunned. Damn, they were actually old acquaintances!

Subsequently, their gazes turned to the Duke King that hit them simultaneously. This car was also a "veteran actor" they were very familiar with.
