Chapter 2: Pick up a pet and go home
"How did you get in and out?"
Joey looked up suddenly. I found out that it was the uncle who was sitting in the car just now.
"You...... Hello" Joey was a little confused by the sudden situation. I don't know what to say.
He Anming laughed twice. The sound is deep and magnetic. As if to hide the nervousness.
Am I nervous too?" He Anming thought as he stared at the fawn eyes.
This kind of emotion will only arise when the hairy guy lacks material and experience to do the confidence, and wants to get it but is afraid to ask for it. After half a lifetime, I no longer deliberately want to hide something, afraid of being seen through, but I am really not surprised by the honor and disgrace that the world has already changed.
"Get in the car first. He Anming then took off his coat and draped it over Joey, put his arm around her shoulders and ran into the car.
Joey remained silent. But he also let him hold himself in his arms, and even coveted the warmth of this moment.
Women are mostly fragile, and one shoulder and one lean on her can capture her at a critical moment. There is nowhere to go except to follow him. It doesn't matter if he's a blessing or a curse!
After He Jiaming got in the car, he didn't ask where Joey's house was, and directly started the car and took him to his villa in the suburbs.
Joey looked at the road that was gradually becoming sparsely populated, and began to be a little scared.
"You...... Where are you taking me?"
He Anming turned his head and smiled at him
"Scared?"
Joey bit her lip, looked out the window and stared at He Anming again.
The contours are deep and distinct, the eyebrows and eyes are resolute, and there are a few fine lines at the corners of the eyes.
Probably not a bad guy. Joey thought secretly. What's more, what do you have to offer. There is no money, no color, no relatives, and the kidnapping ticket can't squeeze oil and water.
Think so. Joey's eyes unconsciously revealed sadness and sadness.
The car drove into the villa area.
After He Jiaming got out of the car, he walked to the co-pilot's seat and opened the door for Joey.
"Thank you" Joey hurriedly got out of the car. It was the first time since I was a child that I felt a man's thoughtfulness and demeanor towards him. Joey only felt unnatural, and his heart was like a deer.
"This is my home. You don't have to be afraid. Since you said that there is nowhere to go, good people do it to the end, you live here tonight. He Jiaming said as he walked in front to open the door. Joey obediently followed.
The layout of the villa seems simple but exquisite, with simple style and mahogany furniture, which is quite in line with the aesthetics of a middle-aged man like He Anming.
After He Anming changed his slippers, he saw Joey standing in place and looking at him blankly, with a blank expression and a shy and tactful look. The soaked clothes clung to Joey's body, bumpy and uneven.
He Anming didn't dare to look at it anymore, so he immediately found a pair of shoes for her and took her to the guest room on the second floor.
"The items in the bathroom are all new, you should take a hot shower quickly, otherwise you will get sick. ”
After that, he tested the temperature of the water for Joey and left for the study, ready to review the contract finalized tonight.
Joey soaked in the bathtub and felt like a dream. I didn't have time to react to everything that happened, so I followed a strange man back to his home.
That uncle...... Well, it still looks quite secure...... The shoulders are wide and warm, too......
"Ah...... What are you thinking......" Joey shook his head.
"Even if no one loves you, you won't be so hungry and thirsty. Let alone...... How can anyone like you......"
Still such a perfect man......
Children who have grown up in an environment of constant repression have low self-esteem. Joey is no exception. She genuinely denies everything about herself. Because no one has ever praised and encouraged her at home, even if she has won countless awards and is eager to be recognized, she only gets cold words. Later, Joey gradually stopped taking those certificates home, and when he got his hands, he tore them up and threw them in the trash.
She just wants to grow up quickly and be able to leave that home. The only way out is to study hard and get admitted to the university of your dreams, and the farther you go, the better......
And now...... I was admitted, but I couldn't come up with the money to pay for tuition. Joey had a headache more and more when he thought about it......
There is also the future landing, what to do with food and housing, what kind of work can be managed and can earn tuition......
"Ah......h Feeling that the water was cold, I pulled the bath towel and wrapped myself up, only to realize that I had no clothes to wear.
"That...... Uncle?" cried out Joey timidly as he stood at the door of the room.
Although the study room and the guest room are not far away, the walls of all rooms are soundproofed, so He Anming naturally can't hear it.
Seeing that no one answered, Joey had to wrap his bath towel and go downstairs to find someone.
Looking in the living room, there was no one.
"Is it too big to leave me here alone?"
Joey tiptoed over the towel on her chest with her hands and looked back at the kitchen.
"Uncle?"
After being stunned for a moment and seeing that no one responded, he had to turn around and go back upstairs. Who knew that He Anming was standing behind him with a water glass.
"Ahh The bath towel on his body was torn off, revealing half of the spring color. The clavicle is clearly visible.
He Anming looked away with difficulty, and walked to the kitchen to pour water as if nothing had happened.
Joey was ashamed. Hurriedly pulled the bath towel upward.
"That...... I...... There was no change of clothes...... So...... So......" Joey nervously knotted his tongue.
After listening to this, He Anming went upstairs and took a shirt of his own and pajama pants to her.
Joey took his clothes and thanked him, and ran upstairs into the room as soon as he slipped through the smoke.
Although Joey has a sense of vicissitudes that does not match his peers, he is really a little white rabbit in terms of feelings.
I also had a crush on a boy at school, but I never dared to express my heart. Because she feels that she is not worthy of the beauty of others, the more beautiful things are, the more she dare not touch them.
When Joey put on his pants, he found that the pants were big and long, and his waist was still falling down. Fortunately, the length of the shirt Joey could be worn as a nightdress, so she folded her pants and put them in the chaise longue to get ready for bed.
"Knock Knock"
Joey was startled by the knock on the door. Hurriedly ran over to open the door.
He Jiaming stood at the door and handed her a cup of ginger tea.
"Ginger tea, go to bed after drinking. The body will be warmer. Then he turned and left.
He Anming didn't dare to linger, didn't even dare to look at Joey a few more times, and didn't dare to smell the faint aroma of bathing on her body. He just felt out of control. It was out of control all night. People who have been in power for a long time are most afraid of the feeling that everything is not up to them.
He Anming pinched his temples. He laughed to himself and bowed his head and muttered.
"Lovely...... Hehe. Joey's face flashed through his mind. Closed the computer and walked out of the study.
Joey didn't sleep well last night. There are things on the mind, and there is also a little recognition of the bed. The rain was still falling outside, and there was no sign of stopping. The gloomy weather also makes people look prone to depression.
Joey picked up his bedside phone and mumbled. It's already eight o'clock. I didn't dare to sleep in someone else's house, so I quickly got up and made the bed.
I went to the bathroom to see that the clothes I changed from last night were not dry. Joey had no choice but to continue to tiptoe downstairs in He Jiaming's shirt.
Because I don't know He Anming's schedule. I don't dare to make too much noise. How did she know that men like He Jiaming would go out early and return late every day.
To sign a contract with Wyeth today, He Anming went out early in the morning, just leaving a note at the door of Joey's room.
"It's hard to get a taxi here, call me if you want to leave or something. If you don't have nowhere to go, you can continue to stay here. Ho An-ming. ”
Joey couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after reading it. I thought that I would get up today and be ready to be evicted. Now it seems that at least there is no need to sleep on the streets these days!
He Anming...... It turns out that the uncle's name is He Anming. An Ming. It seems that the name of the male protagonist in the pen of the writer Yishu.
Joey has a withdrawn temperament and doesn't have many friends, let alone other children in happy families who have been cultivated with various interests and hobbies since childhood. The only hobby to save money is reading.
When she was at home, her stepmother treated Joey like a bone in her throat. Naturally, he won't give her a good look. Although Joey has been very cautious since he was a child, and only went to do his homework after returning home to cook, wash dishes, and clean up the housework, he still can't be exchanged for his stepmother's ignorance of him.
"Hey, come and see what you washed in this bowl, the water is not drained, not to mention, the washing is not clean. What do you say you can do, eat white rice all day long, what's the use of studying well, your brain is read as mentally retarded!"
At first, Joey thought that he was not good enough, so he took things more seriously next time. But every time I was scolded. Gradually, Joey understood. His own existence is a mistake for his stepmother. I should have died with my mother.
When Joey went to middle school, he ran to the library after school. In the six years of middle school, Joey read many Chinese and foreign classics, as well as various prose and miscellaneous novels. Books are Joey's only outlet for her emotions.
That home, for Joey, was just a place to sleep and eat.
Joey was in a trance. The ringing of a doorbell shattered those thoughts.
Joey could tell from the videophone that it was the same driver from last night. Then he opened the door and walked out.
"Hello. I am Mr. He's driver. You can call me Zhang. Mr. He asked me to bring you something to eat. ”
"Ah...... Thank you. Joey hurriedly turned sideways to let Xiao Zhang in.
Although Xiao Zhang is older than Joey. But Joey is the boss's man after all. Xiao Zhang didn't understand the situation last night. Today this little girl is in the boss's villa again. Others may not know, Xiao Zhang Ke knows that this villa is the boss's secret base, and ordinary people don't know it, and it is easy not to bring a woman over. When the boss arrived at the company, he told him to go to the supermarket to buy some fruits and snacks, and then order lunch and send them over. It's not an ordinary relationship, Xiao Zhang doesn't dare to slack off.
"It's more remote here, and it can't be delivered here for general takeaways. That's why Mr. He asked me to bring you all this food. Mr. He said that if you have other needs, you can explain it to me. ”
Joey was really hungry looking at this pile of delicious food, and he hadn't eaten since last night. Hurry up and thank you.
"Thank you, thank you, I don't need anything else, thank you, hard work. ”
"It should. That's what I'm supposed to do. If it's okay, I'll go first. ”
"Okay. Thank you. Great work. Joy thanked him again.
Joey sent Zhang to the door and closed the door, and couldn't wait to open the takeaway bag. Boiled fish, crab roe soup buns, shrimp scallop porridge, garlic broccoli, Longjing shrimp, dried fried beans, tomato and egg soup, as well as poplar manna and freshly squeezed orange juice, Joey opened the package and feasted on it.
In terms of the carefulness and thoughtfulness of middle-aged men, dozens of young men can't catch up with them combined. Because He Anming didn't know Joey's taste, he told Xiao Zhang to buy Sichuan and Cantonese dishes, light or spicy, for Joey to choose by himself.
Full-fed, Joey leaned back in his chair and rubbed his stomach.
"It's delicious, it's delicious!" Feeling that the chair was not comfortable enough, he ran to lie down on the sofa in the living room.
Joey looked at the living room setting.
"It's nice to be rich......" Joey muttered. Looking out the window at the continuous torrential rain. Joey wondered where his way out was. Although the residence has been settled in the past few days, and the uncle is still in charge of food, he can't stay here for the rest of his life. Gotta get a job quickly. Joey secretly decided. Take out your phone and start searching for job postings on the Internet.
There are full-time and part-time jobs on the homepage. Joey thought that she shouldn't be able to do a long-term job, because there was still half a month before the day of school, and she had to find a way to earn tuition in half a month, she still wanted to continue to go to school, which was the only way out for her.
Click here for part-time recruitment - the latest release. "Part-time food delivery staff, day-ending, male only. "This won't work. "Flash animation, relevant professional degree or one year of experience. "Neither will this one. Joey slowly swiped his phone and clicked in one by one, all of which he couldn't do by himself. "Alcohol sales are limited to women, over the age of 18, and wages are paid daily. "Joey looked at the salary, 500-3000 a day!
Joey hurriedly dialed the phone. After a few waits, a man answered the phone.
"Hello. Huadu International Entertainment City. ”
"Hey, hello. I see on the website that you're looking for a drink salesman? I want to apply. ”
"Tomorrow after two o'clock in the afternoon, the company interview. The man replied dismissively.
"Okay. Thank you. Good bye. Joey sensed the other man's impatience. Quickly ended the conversation.
Joey is still smart, and checked the Internet to see if this place exists, whether there is any negative information, whether it will be a liar or something.
The first page of the website query is their official website. Looks pretty legitimate. Further down the page are some ads. Joey made a note of the address. I know it in my heart. Casino, in fact, is a nightclub. But Joey couldn't help it. I don't know anything but the knowledge in books, and I can't do anything. People are cornered, and they always have to survive. Besides, the other party may not hire him. What are you worried about here now?
Joey rubbed his hair frustratedly and got up to clean up the table.
