【Chapter 1】I hired you as my fiancé
“...... That's about the way it happened. So far, 100,000 dollars have been owed. The doctor said that he would have a major operation at the end of the month, and it would cost 50,000 yuan. Brother, what should I do?"
"Money problem, I'll figure it out. Don't worry, I'll have all the money I owe and the surgery fee by next Tuesday. ”
"That's hard work. By the way, how about that 'part-time boyfriend notice' I wrote for you last time, did anyone call you?"
"You still said, you have already caused me to change my mobile phone card. What's more, you actually posted a photo of me while I was asleep on a campus forum!"
"Ann la, I'm hidden, not for everyone to see. Besides, when you sleep, you're already the most handsome. If you take a picture of the awakening, it will definitely scare your future boss. ”
"I'm not as ugly as you say...... Hey, no, you shouldn't have posted my picture online!"
"I can't bear to lose face and don't have money. Brother, don't worry. I promise you, your charming sleeping position will soon attract a whole host of beautiful women and rich women. They're all vying to support you. By that time...... Hmph, the banknotes are big beeps!"
“...... Are you looking for me a part-time job or are you going to let me eat soft rice? Forget it, I'm going to work part-time, so let's do it first, bye-bye. ”
hung up the phone and sighed, Li Xiaochen walked on the brightly lit street with a sad face on his face.
His mother is in the hospital and is in dire need of money for treatment.
In these days, there is no way to do things without money, even in hospitals.
If you don't pay the money, you won't have surgery or treatment.
Li Xiaochen, whose family is not wealthy, has just entered the third year of college, not only did he not get enough tuition, but he also carried such a heavy financial burden.
His younger sister Xiaoxiao, in order to help him make money, posted a "part-time boyfriend notice" post on the campus forum, hoping that a rich woman would hire him as a part-time boyfriend and make extra money.
But would anyone believe in something like an idiot?
Part-time boyfriend? This can also be considered a career, can you earn a lot of money in a short period of time?
"Is it so difficult to earn more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan?" After walking for a while, Li Xiaochen looked up to the sky and wailed, venting the anguish in his heart.
As soon as the word "?" came out, a black shadow slammed into him.
Li Xiaochen's center of gravity was unstable and he was knocked to the ground. The black shadow stumbled and fell.
Li Xiaochen rubbed the shoulder that was hurt by the bump and shouted to the man, "Hey, don't you have long eyes when you walk?"
The man glanced back at Li Xiaochen, didn't care much, hurriedly got up, and fled.
Li Xiaochen just wanted to open his mouth to scold him, but suddenly found that there was a dark golden bead emitting a faint white light on the ground.
The beads are about the size of an ordinary tomato. There is a Taiji diagram imprint on it.
Above the imprint, there is another "swastika" overlapping with it. It looks like an old baby.
"Your thing has fallen!" Li Xiaochen reached out to grab the round thing.
Unexpectedly, when I touched this bead, a dazzling golden light scattered out of it. The light illuminated the heavens and the earth as day.
Li Xiaochen only felt that a strong and pure power flowed out of the bead, burrowed into his fingers, and entered his body along the blood meridians.
The whole person seemed to be electrocuted, snapped, and fell to the ground.
He was startled and tried to withdraw his hand, but found that he couldn't even move half a finger.
I wanted to scream, but I couldn't make a sound.
After entering Li Xiaochen's body, this majestic and vast warm current like the sea flowed down and continued to flow to his lower abdomen.
Strange to say, after Li Xiaochen felt that the warm current converged, it rotated clockwise in the sea of qi, forming a large whirlpool.
After that, they disappeared like mud cows into the sea.
About a quarter of an hour later, sweat oozed from Li Xiaochen's forehead. The golden warmth that came from the beads gradually faded.
After a while, the bead also turned into a golden mang, and entered Li Xiaochen's body.
"Huh, can I move?" he shook his head and stood up, completely unaware of the situation, "what was that weird bead just now?"
From this moment on, Li Xiaochen's fate has been tightly entangled with the immortal cultivation world.
It's just that now he doesn't know that he has obtained the treasure of the Immortal Wheel Sect by chance-the Divine Thunder Eye Collection.
At this time, the mobile phone in my pocket rang. As soon as Li Xiaochen picked it up, he heard a roar coming from inside.
"Li Xiaochen, do you still want to do it! If you are late and absent from work for no reason, I will deduct your salary for this month!"
Li Xiaochen cautiously reminded: "That...... Store manager, it doesn't seem like it's time to go to work yet, right?"
Oh, hehe, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I remembered...... Do you think I'm going to tell you that? Roar! You're a little temporary worker, and you dare to talk back to me! All of next month's wages will be deducted! You must arrive immediately within five minutes, or you will be deducted from your next month's wages!"
In the end, all that remained was a series of rapid beeps on the phone.
"Deduction of wages?" stared at the mobile phone blankly, and after a while, Li Xiaochen reacted, "Store manager, you are too ruthless!"
For him, a poor student whose tuition fees have not yet been paid, deducting wages is undoubtedly a nightmare worse than death.
Running wildly all the way, Li Xiaochen panted and went to the coffee shop where he usually worked, but he caught a glimpse of the store manager smiling and chatting with a female customer.
"Young man, you're finally here!" Seeing Li Xiaochen, the store manager patted his chest with relief, pulled him to the female customer, and smiled, "This is the male waiter of our store, Li Xiaochen." ”
"You are...... Li Xiaochen?" The female customer looked curiously at the boy, who was dressed in a shabby pattern.
"I am. Shifting his attention to this female customer, Li Xiaochen's eyes suddenly lit up.
Beauty, 100% big beauty!
There is such a bright and moving stunner in this world!
On a fluorescent melon seed face like white jade, two beautiful eyebrows were drawn. The starry eyes of autumn water are like jewels, embedded in them.
On the two rosy lips, there is a tall and handsome nose. The flawless skin radiance that seems to be like coagulation flows and is half-concealed.
A delicate, flowing hair like ink cascades down like a waterfall and spills on his back. Under the interplay of lights, it exudes a faint luster.
The charming oblique bangs add a bit of mature charm to her.
A snow-like white lace dress wrapped around her light and graceful, slender and bewitching figure, covering half of her thighs.
He wore a pair of black pencil pants on his lower body, which perfectly outlined his slender legs.
Not showing surprise when you see a beautiful woman is an insult to the beauty.
But if you show too much surprise, or even shock, you will be treated by the beauty as an ordinary pervert who is and, who only judges people by their appearance, and uses the lower body as a brain.
But if you aspire to thrive from an early age and become a superb old pervert, you must find a delicate balance between surprise and over-surprise - to satisfy a little of her vanity without incurring her contempt and disdain for you.
After expressing his praise for the beauty with just the right expression, Li Xiaochen said: "We don't seem to know each other." ”
The beautiful woman didn't speak immediately, just stared at the store manager who was eavesdropping on the side with a smile.
"Ah...... Talk slowly, I won't bother. The store manager smiled and walked away.
The beauty took the initiative to stretch out her hand and shake Li Xiaochen, and said, "My name is Jiang Mi'er, Jiang Ziya's ginger, honey's honey." ”
"My name is Li Xiaochen, Muzi Li, Xiaoyao Xiao, dust of dust. ”
"You sit first. The beauty pouted at the other cup of coffee on the table, "That's what I ordered for you." ”
"Thank you. Li Xiaochen sat down opposite her suspiciously, took a sip of coffee, and asked, "You have something to do with me?"
"Hmm. She looked at him carefully for a few more moments, and with a sly look, she said, "I want to hire you as my fiancé." ”
"Poof—cough, cough, cough, cough!" Li Xiaochen swallowed the coffee that was about to squirt back into his mouth. But I choked on myself because I was overly surprised.
He shouted in his heart: this, there must be a conspiracy in this. Although her words sounded a little fluttering, just one word "hire" completely exposed her scheming as deep as the sea. Ahem, of course, if the beautiful woman is willing to remove this snobbish and annoying word "hire" from it, I would be very happy to do so.
stabilized his emotions, and Li Xiaochen's mind became clearer.
Is this beauty an employer?
"I saw your 'part-time boyfriend posting' on the college town campus forum......"
"Wait!" Li Xiaochen hurriedly stopped her from continuing, "I think I need to explain." My sister did it for me. Actually, I ......"
"Don't you want to?" the beauty seemed to think that he should be happy to be chosen by her.
"Of course not!" Li Xiaochen protested loudly.
What an international joke.
Why did she want him Li Xiaochen to be a "pseudo" fiancé?
To be a man, you have to have backbone.
A fiancé is a fiancé, and no derogatory modifiers can be added in front of it.
"How about 10,000?" Seeing that the situation was not right, the beauty quickly seduced Li Xiaochen.
Ten thousand is not a lot, but it is enough for him to live happily ever after for several months. But Li Xiaochen will not compromise for the sake of small profits.
"You want to bribe me?"
"Do you want to be bribed?"
"I don't really want to. ”
"Twenty thousand?" the beauty began to increase the price.
"Hmph!" is he Li Xiaochen the kind of man who is at her mercy for a mere 20,000 yuan? Don't think of men as frivolous.
"What about fifty thousand?" the beautiful woman does know what to say. Seeing that he was unmoved, she consciously turned up the number.
"I'm sorry, I'm not the kind of casual man. "Although I don't know why she hired her fiancé, ...... He, Li Xiaochen, a man with his own moral standards and bottom line, how could he agree to such a thing?
Besides, is his manly backbone as steely and unyielding worth 50,000?
"Seventy thousand. The beauty was still grinning and adding weight to the scales called "Trading".
"Beautiful young lady, I want to tell you that this is not a problem that can be solved by a price increase. If he succumbs to money, it will make her think that men are cheap, and as long as they have money, they can buy all kinds of men.
In order not to let the majority of male compatriots be ashamed because of themselves, Li Xiaochen plans to grit his teeth and resist the temptation of money.
"One hundred thousand, as a deposit. The beauty took out a gold card and put it in front of Li Xiaochen, "If you get things done smoothly according to my requirements, I will pay you another 100,000." ”
"I advise you not to waste your words. What is at stake is the sacred and inviolable dignity and glory of our men. It's not money at all...... Ahem, 200,000 is it, right?
In order to get this large amount of money, Li Xiaochen despised himself, and immediately regarded the pile of righteous words that came out of his heart just now as nonsense and threw them to the western sky.
He began to work with himself in his heart:
Everyone lives in this world and has their own sufferings.
Although a man's dignity and backbone are very important, it is not impossible to sacrifice a little hue for the sake of these 200,000.
And I really need a sum of money to treat my mother recently. I still have to pay the tuition fee.
What's more, the other party is a beauty. No matter how you don't suffer.
You can't stick to the subtleties, you have to know how to see the wind and make the rudder, and adapt to the situation, right?
As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, good birds choose trees to perch, those who know the times are handsome, scholars die for confidants, and women are pleasing to themselves......
What's wrong with making money with your acting skills? Every penny is earned above board and with peace of mind!
Besides, this is the affectionate call of beauty, the urgent need of the times. A man with copper skin and iron bones can never say "no" to a beautiful woman!
In one go, he found a few more legitimate excuses for himself, and Li Xiaochen felt much more comfortable.
Even he was surprised by his fickle nature.
At this moment, Jiang Mi'er showed a goddess of victory-like smile.
Li Xiaochen sighed in her heart and secretly speculated: she must have thought that men were creatures that could not resist temptation. If a man is unmoved, it can only be said that the temptation is not enough.
But Li Xiaochen will not let Jiang Mi'er be so cool that she will explode. He wanted to fight back a little: "Pay 200,000 at once." Only cash is accepted, no cheques and various cards are accepted. ”
"OK, no problem. She said yes quite cheerfully.
"I'm talking about dollars. ”
"I'm giving euros. Jiang Mi'er quickly took out two stacks of thick bills from her expensive bag and put them in front of Li Xiaochen. The movements are crisp and clean.
Li Xiaochen's mouth opened wide. The small counterattack failed.
Look at her like this, and treat money like dung. In the eyes of this beauty, perhaps money is as worthless as dung. She doesn't treat money as money at all.
"There are really 100,000 in that card. Plus these 200,000, a total of 300,000. The extra is considered an additional gratuity. Let's take stock. ”
"No need. Li Xiaochen put away the banknotes on the table, and then pushed the gold card in front of her, "Only 200,000." Leave the rest to you to spend. ”
Li Xiaochen doesn't know what's wrong with him today, he doesn't want any money.
Maybe he just wants Jiang Mi'er to know that he is not a person who is desperate for money, or even betrays **.
Or maybe he just wanted to prove that the "part-time boyfriend notice" was a joke.
Jiang Mi'er was not reluctant, put away the gold card that made Li Xiaochen begin to regret his impulsive decision, and smiled: "Don't you ask me, why do you want to hire a fiancé?"
Intuition told Li Xiaochen that there was a quenched pig-killing knife hidden in her smile.
"yes, what are you going me to do? Don't think that if I take your money, I'll be at your mercy. I'll start with that. Do not do anything that violates the law. ”
"Of course I won't let you do anything illegal. Wise people don't speak secret words. The reason why I hired you as my fiancé is solely because of the elders of our family. ”
"Elder?" Li Xiaochen didn't understand. What is the reason for this?
"Hmm. My family is an ancient family of immortal cultivators. Although modern society has become more open and pays attention to free love, there are still some old traditions in our family. My marriage is decided by the elders of my family. And those old men belong to the more stubborn conservatives. It's hard to change their minds and decisions. So I can only ...... if I hire you as my fiancé and take you to the elders."
"Hey, wait a minute. You seem to have just said ......'cultivating immortals'?" Li Xiaochen thought he had misheard. Isn't this a plot that only exists in novels, how can it happen in reality?
"More on that later. Also, you are not allowed to tell anyone about my employment. ”
"Okay, but why are you asking me to do such a thing? There are a lot of handsome people in the world who are more handsome than me. There are more people who are richer than me. There are countless people who are more talented than me. A ...... who is better than my acting skills Although it is a little less, as long as you work hard, it is not impossible to find it. ”
After listening to him, Jiang Mi'er stared at Li Xiaochen very seriously.
Li Xiaochen sat up straight unconsciously.
It was the first time she had looked at him with appreciation. You can't ruin your own image.
After a long time, Jiang Mi'er snorted and laughed: "You are quite self-aware." Indeed, a lot more than the people who are in your good condition. If I have to say why, well......"
She thought for a moment and continued, "First of all, looks. Although you are not handsome, you are strange-looking, and you barely meet my requirements. ”
"Hey?" Li Xiaochen was a little depressed. What the hell is wrong with me?
In fact, Li Xiaochen is not ugly-his eyebrows are clear, and his handsome face often has a little smile.
His smile is a bit bad, a bit of a thief, and a little clever. However, in that blazing gaze, there was a little kindness and righteousness.
Anyone who sees it can't help but feel a little good for him.
It's a pity that Jiang Mi'er didn't give him a chance to defend himself, and continued: "Well, there must not be much money." Otherwise, you wouldn't have glared at those 200,000 just now. The obscene eyes are like an old virgin who has never touched a woman in his life suddenly encountering a stunning beauty, full of endless ** and greed. ”
"Hey, seeing that you look like a moon and a beautiful face, how can you say such ugly words?" Li Xiaochen glared at Jiang Mi'er indignantly.
"As for talent, it's hard to say that it's something that can't be seen on the surface. But I don't think it's talented. ”
Li Xiaochen found that he had nothing to do with this sharp-toothed girl except for dry glare. After tossing for so long, she is like this in her mind?
After completely shattering Li Xiaochen's self-confidence, Jiang Mi'er smiled again: "However, you have a stupid spirit. That's the stupidity that made me decide to hire you. ”
"I see. You just saw me as a bully, that's why you lied to me. ”
"You're overestimating yourself. Do you think that with your intelligence, it is necessary for me to carry out such a complex operation as 'blackmail'?"
“......”
