Chapter 11: Straightforward
Mu Zixu walked out of the hospital, raised his head and exhaled fiercely into the sky, as if he was completely removing the residual smell of disinfectant in his nasal cavity.
He then waved his hand on the side of the road and tried to stop a taxi.
Although the conditions of the hospital are very good, Mu Zixu naturally hates the smell of disinfectant water, plus he lives in a double ward, and the obscene uncle on the other bed snores and is deafening every night, which makes him sleepless and miserable.
So what he wanted to do most now was to hurry back to his nest to catch up on sleep.
In the past, he couldn't think of this kind of thing with a manuscript fee of 1,000 yuan per month, but now, thinking that there are more than 20,000 yuan in his account, he feels a lot harder.
It takes two hours to get home by bus, and it takes less than 40 minutes to take a taxi, which is the difference between having money and not having money. He seemed to suddenly understand that the richer he was, the easier it was to make money.
At this time, it was the noon rush hour, the road was bustling with traffic like rafters, and there were many taxis, but unfortunately most of them carried customers.
And the boss's phone call came when Mu Zixu and the others were in a hurry.
"New mission." As soon as the phone was connected, the boss said straight to the point.
"You're done on vacation?" Mu Zixu asked suspiciously.
"Hmm. There is an urgent mission, are you ready to accept it? ”
"If you go into battle with an injury, will the remuneration be higher?" Mu Zixu asked with a wry smile.
The boss directly filtered his question as nonsense, and said straight to the point: "The target is in Ward 206 of the Respiratory Department of the People's Hospital, name: Wang Minzhi." ”
"Hospital?" Mu Zixu looked back at the hospital building behind him and asked suspiciously. "Did you know I just finished being discharged?"
Boss: "Yes. ”
Mu Zixu: "Then can't you call so many minutes in advance?" If I'm still in the hospital, wouldn't it be more convenient to do anything to my target? ”
Boss: "But while it's convenient, it also makes it difficult for you to get rid of suspicion." Do you think it's better to spend a little more brains on safety first, or to take risks with less effort? As a writer of suspense novels, you should know very well how important alibi is, right? ”
Mu Zixu: "Okay...... Say the content of the task. ”
Boss: "Within a week, kill her." ”
The boss's voice was as cold as ever, but Mu Zixu was shocked when he heard these words.
Although he had indirectly killed a gutter oil profiteer in the perfume bottle incident, he still found it difficult to accept it when he heard the boss say the words "kill her" very bluntly.
Mu Zixu: "...... Why do I feel like I'm becoming a killer? And you, my employer?! In other words, can't you describe the task more tactfully? ”
The boss rarely complained about his nonsense, but was very accommodating: "Okay...... Within a week, rewrite her fate. ”
Mu Zixu: "...... Let's be blunt. ”
Boss: "Now let's get down to business. In view of your excellent performance in the Wu Haotian incident, we have decided to increase your level now. From now on, you have the option to enter a completely new game mode. The remuneration for this model will be twice as high as for other models. ”
Mu Zixu: "What mode?" ”
Boss: "We provide the target audience, and the eventual change of life request. You do your own planning and execution, and if you feel it is necessary, you can contact us for help, but for each request you seek, we will deduct a portion of the consultation fee from your total remuneration. ”
The boss's words made Mu Zixu intuitively think of the great wisdom and chase in it. Is the boss also a lover of ancient dragon novels?
It's really like the scenario in the novel: the wise man knows everything, but if you want to get something out of his mouth, you have to have a lot of money ready to go......
Then, Mu Zixu asked: "There is a question: Do you provide basic information about the target audience, such as home address, interpersonal relationship, etc., for free, or ......?" ”
Boss: "We'll give players everything that can be checked for free." However, information about the behavior patterns of the target target, personality weaknesses, and other materials that can only be obtained by long-term observation and recording will require the player to consume the consultation fee. ”
Mu Zixu: "What about the history of why the target object?" Or, if you ask me to kill someone, you should at least let me know why he should kill him, right? ”
Boss: "Of course. We will provide the basic information of the target object and provide the player with the reason for their life change. ”
Mu Zixu: "Understood. ”
Boss: "So, would you rather start the new model, or continue with the previous one?" ”
Mu Zixu took a deep breath: "Start the new mode!" ”
Boss: "Very good, I will do my best to send you Wang Minzhi's information." The mission countdown starts the moment you receive the information. ”
Mu Zixu: "But if I have doubts about whether the target should accept the change of life, can I refuse this mission?" ”
Boss: "Yes." ”
……
Mu Zixu finally stopped a taxi.
The release of the new task swept away his predicament, and suddenly he changed his spirit.
He felt like his boss's phone call was like a stimulant, and he felt like something was missing in the time without her voice.
He couldn't tell if it was due to the anticipation of a new assignment or simply the anticipation of his boss.
Or is it just the anticipation of a huge prize?
Mu Zixu did not go back to his rental house directly, but went to the bank first to withdraw 10,000 yuan.
A hundred hundred-dollar bills may not seem like much to others, and may not be enough for some people to pay for a meal or a pair of shoes.
But in Mu Zixu's hands, he felt heavy, to be honest, this was the first time he had taken so much money.
He thought about it, and now that he had plenty of money and such a high-paying new job, he decided to immediately go to the landlord to settle the rent he owed, and pay it for another year by the way.
If you first stabilize the place where you live, you will be more energetic and able to devote yourself to your work, right?
Of course, more importantly, you don't have to ask the landlord to ask the rent every once in a while, look at his butcher-like stinky face.
When he took the money and returned to the door, he was stunned.
His quilts, pillows, clothes, shoes, etc., were all thrown at the door, as if his home had just been ransacked.
Then he understood what was going on, because the door was not closed, and the landlord's voice came from inside: "Here, and here, all painted white!" Well, the cook doesn't want to move away......"
Mu Zixu angrily pushed the door and walked in, and shouted to the landlord who was cross-legging his waist to direct the renovation workers: "Landlord, what do you mean by this?" Why are you throwing my stuff out?! ”
The landlord turned around and said dismissively, "What do you mean?" How many days have you said you owe your rent? In the past few days, you can't get through the phone, and no one can find it, so I think you won't come back! ”
"But as I told you a few days ago, I'll have the money to settle it with you soon......"
"A few days ago, you said that it had been delaying for a few days?! If you have money right away, will it depend on you to write novels? The landlord said, his face full of mockery and disdain.
Of course, he knew that Mu Zixu was a writer, and he also knew his monthly manuscript fee well.
Mu Zixu sighed, he felt that there was no need to continue to waste words with this kind of person.
For some people, reasoning is as painful as playing the harp to a cow.
So he decided to put an end to the dispute.
He took out the 10,000 yuan from his pocket, shook it in his hand and said, "I wanted to pay it for a year, forget it, I'd better find another house." Also, I won't pay back the part I owe you, you throw my things out, and we'll settle the score. ”
Seeing the 10,000 yuan in Mu Zixu's hand, the landlord's eyes that were originally full of contempt suddenly flashed with an incredible light.
In these years, the house is not easy to rent, and his house has a poor location, a small area, and an unscientific design, and the strictest thing is that there is no heating and cooling, and it is difficult to find a tenant like Mu Zixu.
Besides, I still pay a year's rent at a time.
Therefore, he hurriedly changed his tone, and said with a smile: "Xiaomu, I'm joking with you, in fact, I want to surprise you, and decorate it for you while you're away!" I want to wait for you to come back and see that your home is completely new!! ”
"Oh, so that's ......" Mu Zixu smiled faintly and put the money back in his pocket: "Thank you for your kindness, but I still don't want such a surprise, goodbye!" ”
As he spoke, he turned around in a dashing manner and walked away.
He didn't even look at the old clothes and shoes that were thrown at the door.
Now, it's time to start a new life in a new environment.
With so many vacant houses, it is not easy to re-rent a house, as long as you have money in hand.
