When I got home, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Tang Mimi had already fallen asleep soundly, and she smacked her lips from time to time. I tiptoed to wash as hard as I could, afraid of waking him up.

Came out of the bathroom and gently touched the bed. As soon as he lay down, his mobile phone vibrated with a beep, and he picked it up and saw that it was a text message from Zou Jialiang.

"I want you to think about it again." I tossed my phone aside and looked at the ceiling in distraught. I feel that the first thing I have to do now is to try to scrape together enough 10,000 yuan to return it to Zou Jialiang as soon as possible, and the essential reason is that I have this kind of economic relationship with him, so he will have such a definition of me.

Zou Jialiang, you vowed to work hard when you were at a low point before, which is a good thing. But now that you are strong, you have no right to humiliate others. I really can't continue to do the work of the Zou family, as long as I pay back the 10,000 yuan, I will leave immediately.

The next morning, I opened my eyes sleepily. looked around, but didn't see Tang Mimi. I guess I've already gone to work. There was eight-treasure porridge and fritters on top of the bed, and a note was pressed underneath: "Yaya, I see that you haven't woken up yet, so I didn't call you, and the food I bought for you, you can eat it when you get up." ”

I smiled to myself as I held the note. Don Mimi, you and I are still intimate.

When I got up to brush my teeth and wash my face, I was drinking porridge when my mobile phone rang, and I picked it up and saw that it was a landline number. And this number, I am not familiar with it at all.

I picked up the phone with a confused feeling, "Hello? Hello, are you Ai Xiaoya? "It's a guy on the other end of the phone.

"Yes." I'm really new to this voice.

"Oh, I'm the editor-in-chief of Creative Space Magazine, I saw your resume online, have you found a job now?"

What the? It turned out to be the initiative to call me, after I was drugged in a bar, the memory of looking for a job was really painful, and now someone took the initiative to contact me.

"Well... That, not yet. "I was so excited that I couldn't speak.

"I'll send you the address, can you come here this afternoon or tomorrow morning for an interview?" I could hear that his voice was sincere.

"Oh, okay, okay!" I nodded like garlic, it was great, I was thinking about where I would work if I resigned from Zou Jialiang's side, and now this opportunity has fallen from the sky. I picked up the eight-treasure porridge and drank the rest in one go, pursed my lips, it was so sweet!

Just as I was gulping down the fritters, my phone rang again, and I choked before I could swallow a mouthful of the fritters. I was suddenly shocked in my heart, there won't be any problem, is it just that the magazine saw my negative information on the Internet again, so I called again and wanted to regret it, Mom, then wouldn't I be miserable.

I grabbed my phone nervously and glanced sideways, it was not the landline number just now, it was Li Yunxiang.

"Hello?" I picked it up.

"Ai Xiaoya, where are you now?"

"I'm at home!" I patted my chest and swallowed the fritters hard.

"Alright then, I'll go up now." He hung up the phone.

It's too overbearing, I haven't said whether it's convenient or not, but this guy will come up as he says. As if he was going back to his house, I quickly cleaned up the eight-treasure porridge and fried dough sticks.

"Open the door!" Wow, it's been a little faster for this guy to go upstairs, it's only been a few minutes, and he's upstairs so soon.

When the door opened, he walked straight in without looking back, and with complete contempt for me standing by the door, I was petrified on the spot.

"Well, I'm looking for you for something." He sat down on a small stool on the edge of the bed and said with a serious expression.

"What's the matter?" I still stood by the door, not daring to get too close to him. Based on the situation of these meetings with Li Yunxiang, I am afraid that he will make some crazy moves again.

"I said, why are you standing so far away?" He glared at me.

Oh my God, he even asked me this, why don't I stand so far, every time you come to my house, it's like a chicken and a dog, of course I have to stay away from you, but there is no way, I am afraid that if I don't go a little bit, he will trouble me again, so I moved to his side.

He took out a card from his pocket and put it on the bed, "There are 10,000 yuan in here, the password is your birthday, go and return Zou Jialiang's money." ”

I looked at the card, then at him, and blinked quickly to show that I didn't understand what he meant.

"I said you go and return the 10,000 yuan to Zou Jialiang, I don't like you to use other people's money! Actually, I shouldn't have been angry with you that day, and I think it was my negligence in the end. If I had received that call from you in time, I would definitely not have let Zou Jialiang take the lead. He was a little hateful.

I fell into deep thought, and then considered whether to accept the 10,000 yuan, if I did, it would show that I owed Li Yunxiang again. But if you don't accept it......, alas? Pregnant. A flash of inspiration struck me, and I came up with a solution.

"Alright then, thank you in advance." I nodded to Li Yunxiang and thanked him.

Li Yunxiang had a surprised expression on his face, he definitely didn't expect me to agree so quickly.

"Alright then, I'll go first. I'll come back to you tomorrow. He stood up as he spoke, the expression on his face softening a lot. It was the first time I had seen his smiling face in so many days.

"Well, slow down on your way!"

I closed the door and picked up the card from the bed, and I had already come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, which could make me not owe Zou Jialiang or Li Yunxiang, but it would make my heart sad, but this may also be the only solution in the end. Dad, if I do do this, please don't blame me. I folded my hands and prayed to heaven.

In the afternoon, I still came to Zou's house at the same time. It's strange today that Zou Jialiang didn't go to work, just sat leisurely in the hall, reading the newspaper.

"You're here." He put down the newspaper and looked at me with both eyes.

"Hmm." I replied softly, "That Mr. Zou, I want to talk to you alone." ”

Zou Jialiang immediately stood up with a smile, "Okay, come, let's go to the study." ”

Follow him upstairs to the study, where he closed the door behind me. Then he walked over to the chair behind his desk and sat down, "Say it." His eyes were full of smiles.

"It's this." I took out a thick envelope from my bag, "I borrowed 10,000 yuan from you last time, and I will pay it back to you now, I'm really sorry to delay you for so long." I stepped forward and placed the envelope on Zou Jialiang's desk.

He stared at the envelope with wide eyes, then looked up at me again, "What's wrong with you?" ”

I smiled indifferently, "It's only natural to repay the debt, I want to redeem the piece of Kodama I mortgaged to you." ”

Zou Jialiang was stunned, I knew that what I did today was completely unexpected by him, "Xiaoya, you put this away first." He pushed the envelope containing the money to me again.

"Mr. Zou, you must accept this." I pushed the envelope to him again, "If you don't accept it, it will be the greatest insult to me." ”

After he heard what I said, his pupils dilated instantly. After a moment of silence, he slowly unbuttoned his shirt and pulled the piece of kodama from his neck.

Oh, my God! This is something I never expected, he actually put it in that position, and my heart suddenly shook, he messaged me last time that he would put this thing in an important position. But I didn't expect him to hang this piece of Kodama around his neck all the time.

I took the jade from his hand, and there was still his body temperature on it, and I carefully put it away.

"Xiaoya, did I misunderstand you yesterday, if that's the case, I apologize to you." Zou Jialiang stared at me seriously.

I shook my head gently, "Mr. Zou, don't think about it. I also have one more thing I would like to tell you, due to some personal reasons, I will not be able to continue to serve as Ning Han's tutor and Aunt Zou's health care doctor in the future, I'm really sorry. I bowed to Zou Jialiang.

"What did you say?" He stood up from his chair, "Why?" ”

"No, Mr. Zou, I said it was for personal reasons." The air in the room seemed to be stagnant, and Zou Jialiang and I stood opposite each other, as if frozen in a photo.

The room was surprisingly quiet, and we could even hear each other's breathing.

"Can you think again." Zou Jialiang came back to his senses and asked me leisurely.

I met his gaze and shook my head earnestly but firmly.

"Alright then, I'll ask Luber to come over and settle your salary." He paused and picked up the phone on his desk, and at this time, the door of the study was pushed open, and the old lady of the Zou family appeared at the door.

"Xiaoya, I just heard Sister-in-law Liu say that you and Jialiang are talking in this house, what are you talking about?" Mrs. Zou walked over and put a hand on my shoulder.

I smiled at her, "It's nothing, Aunt Zou, I was just about to say goodbye to you, I can't work here." ”

"What? Why, who will give me health care when you leave! Mrs. Zou said in surprise, "You are doing well here, why don't you say you won't do it?" ”

I bowed deeply to Mrs. Zou again, "Thank you really for taking care of you for so many days, for the specific reason, you should ask Mr. Zou." ”

Mrs. Zou immediately turned her gaze to her son, and before she could ask a question, Lu Bo had already arrived at the door, "Mr. Zou, you are looking for me." ”

"Yes," Zou Jialiang said categorically, "go and settle Mr. Ai's salary." ”

Lu Bo's pupils dilated for a few seconds, he looked at Zou Jialiang, then at Old Lady Zou, and finally his gaze fell on me, "Teacher Ai, please come with me." ”

"Jialiang, you ......" Mrs. Zou frowned and pointed to Zou Jialiang, Lu Bo and I walked out, and Lu Bo closed the door of the study.
