She turned on the computer to prepare to record audiobooks, but heard the kitten's milky, delicate cries in her ear. Red Bean stared with its round golden pupils, looked at her, and then turned its head to look around, as if looking for Qin Zhixiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meow...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meow...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every few seconds, Red Bean would let out a small cry. He Lele got up, picked up Red Bean, and stroked it gently—she didn't expect Qin Zhixiu's charm to be not only lethal to all ages but also lethal to humans and animals!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Red Bean kept crying, making it hard for her to record! What to do? He Lele looked around subconsciously again, then took out that photo album of Qin Zhixiu, opened it, and placed it in front of Red Bean. She was just trying it out, but she didn't expect Red Bean to lie directly on the photo album, neither moving nor crying anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lustful cat!\" He Lele poked Red Bean's little head amusedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cash was gone, but there was still over forty dollars in the bank card, which survived because the ATM couldn't withdraw change. He Lele went to the supermarket to buy a few packs of cheap noodles, then took a stroll around campus, wrote down a few part-time job phone numbers, and returned to the room to record audio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's okay, everything will be fine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There will be bread, and there will be eggs! By the way, remember to pay the barbecue shop back for the fire extinguisher and the skewers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the fire extinguisher, He Lele couldn't help but smile. During the most difficult years of middle school, she read many psychology and inspirational books. She remembered seeing in a book that \"no matter whether you are experiencing joy or pain now, everything is a wealth for your future self.\" At that time, she maliciously blackened that sentence. Even if she could understand the base nature people showed toward her, she really didn't think that all the discrimination, bullying, slander, and malicious defamation would become her \"wealth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking about it now, maybe that sentence is right. At least... precisely because she was sprayed by someone with a fire extinguisher, she would know that besides extinguishing fires, that thing could also \"extinguish people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking the resurrected Versace phone and flipping to Mu Wei's number, He Lele felt an eternal gratitude in her heart. Pain only becomes wealth after it ends. Thank this man for wiping away that spider web that had been layered for over a decade for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hi! Missed me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Mu Wei's habitually lazy, flirtatious tone, He Lele didn't know what to say for a moment. She just wanted to thank him and subconsciously pressed the dial button. By the time she regretted it, the call had already gone through and it was hard to hang up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, I left in a hurry the day before yesterday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, indeed, not even a goodbye kiss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Is, is your friend okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean Caesar? Heh... he is trying every possible way to obtain Chinese citizenship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want to ask if you dare, to love me like you said, crazy for love like me, what exactly will you think...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the male version of \"Crazy for Love\" so casual yet affectionate for the first time, He Lele's heartbeat accelerated, \"But, Lingyu has someone she likes. If Caesar is like this... he will get hurt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, but if you get hurt, the wound will always heal. But if you regret it because of giving up, neither opportunity nor time will ever return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Yes.\" He Lele looked out the window; the sun was just right, and every day was precious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lele.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I want to give you a good hug.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't force yourself, just pretend I didn't say anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No...\" She had said it before, no matter what reason he had for helping her, she acknowledged this favor. In the past, watching those costume dramas and ancient novels, she always felt that ancient women who would \"repay a great kindness with their body\" were stupid and looked down on themselves too much. But now, being in their shoes, she realized that being able to give something back was far easier than living with a favor she couldn't afford to repay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Writer's words:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guessing many ladies will think the next part is Mu Wei's meat? Hehehehe~~ that's not necessarily true!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Love you all!!! Mwah!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>☆, (10 Fresh Coins) Chapter 202: Say It Again\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monday, the beginning of the week. Due to a temporary shortage of people in the call center, He Lele and two other newcomers started work early. The newcomers, including He Lele herself, felt very surprised because last Friday she had just given a tragic demonstration that made the instructor and supervisor furious. For her to start work first after just one weekend was too strange, no matter how you looked at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She must have connections, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably not. I've seen her resume; she graduated from a key university. If she had connections, why come to do customer service?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not necessarily true. You don't know, right? The HR manager of the ×Xin Group originally started as customer service here. She went to the group after half a year, a straight helicopter ride. It wasn't until the end that others found out she was Chairman Liao's niece.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh... whatever, I'm just here to do my job.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True, hehe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abnormal things naturally become topics of discussion. Although He Lele was also surprised by the supervisor's decision, she didn't intend to ask anything. After a brief adjustment, she got used to the rhythm of customer service work. The open work environment and relatively closed work state—it was very suitable for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At noon, she heated up the food she brought in the company's microwave and walked alone to the central garden not far from the company to eat. It wasn't that she didn't want to mingle with others, but because she had no money to buy groceries, her side dish was cheap and appetizing pickled radish, and this situation would continue for another week. Although she didn't think this was anything shameful, she didn't want to explain too much, nor did she want others to look at her with strange eyes, so she simply avoided them.\u003C\u002Fp>",1109,"2026-06-14T03:55:58.348Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","80d5491b17fbaf03eaec347433e551f1952c52090df39e3d3fb5a21c7f6c3b11","the-ultimate-men-s-apartment-chapter-190","the-ultimate-men-s-apartment-chapter-188",301,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-ultimate-men-s-apartment-cover.jpg"]
