Seeing the man on the ground screaming, the boss took a deep breath, tried to force a smile and looked at Qi Muyang: "After all, we are colleagues in the future. If the fight gets too serious, how can we get along in the future? You should ask her to stop."
"What does the boss mean?" Qi Muyang raised his eyebrows.
The boss immediately said, "I want the person."
Qi Muyang was satisfied: "Then let's talk about the specific salary issue."
“…Is this the time to talk about this?” The boss was speechless.
Qi Muyang seemed not to hear him. "She has classes from Monday to Friday. She is only free on Saturdays and Sundays. She can attend the whole class. The rest of the time she can only come at night, but she definitely can't stay up all night. She can come for a fixed number of hours. The details can be discussed. As for the salary, it can't be compared with full-time employees. We understand that as long as it's not too little, it's all negotiable."
"Okay, okay, let's talk about this later. Ask her to stop first." The boss was overwhelmed.
Qi Muyang glanced at him, then slowly walked forward and grabbed Chu Qing's raised fist.
Chu Qing turned around sharply, paused when she saw it was him, then she released her strength and stood up straight: "What?" She looked quite dissatisfied at being disturbed.
Qi Muyang asked casually: "Do you want to go eat hot pot?"
Chu Qing's eyes lit up: "Let's go!"
Everyone present: “…” Is that it
Qi Muyang didn't bother to pay attention to other people's gazes and left directly with Chu Qing. His friends looked at each other and hurriedly chased after him, leaving only the salted fish and the onlookers on the ground in disarray in the wind.
Chu Qing didn't remember her work until she entered the hot pot restaurant: "Ah..."
"Forget about that. The boss has already agreed to keep you. We can talk about it in detail after dinner." Qi Muyang said as he picked up the bowl and started to prepare the dipping sauce.
When Chu Qing saw him adding crushed peanuts, sesame seeds and chili powder to the sesame paste, she immediately said in a tut-tut voice: "Isn't this a bit too coincidental? I like to eat it this way too."
Qi Muyang took a look at her bowl and found that it was exactly the same as his own. He immediately felt jealous: "This is how my mother taught me to eat it." Did her mother also teach her
"That's not me. I figured it out on my own." Chu Qing said casually while scooping the condiments.
Qi Muyang paused: "Didn't your mother teach you?"
"My mom? She never eats these because she thinks they smell too strong. I always eat them with my friends." After Chu Qing said this, she thought of her mother with mysophobia and couldn't help laughing.
However, when Qi Muyang saw this smile, he felt a little sad. His mother obviously liked hotpot so much, but he told her that she didn't like it. Maybe he was just making up an excuse because he didn't want to eat with her.
… They are all illegitimate children, but some of them not only have no money but have never eaten hotpot with their own mothers, while others have hundreds of thousands of living expenses. Qi Muyang narrowed his eyes slightly.
"What are you thinking about?" Chu Qing looked at him puzzledly.
Qi Muyang: "I want my mom to divorce my dad."
Chu Qing: “…” Oh, he’s sick again.
After eating the hot pot, they went to discuss the details with the owner of the Internet cafe. When they were ready to go back to school, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Chu Qing bought two dishes at a restaurant near the Internet cafe, and bought a few small desserts at a cake shop, which she packed and carried in her hand.
"Not full yet?" the little fat boy was surprised.
Chu Qing shook her head: "No, I bought it for Qi Weichen."
"Qi Weichen?" The little fat man took a breath, attracting the attention of several others.
Chu Qing laughed: "What the hell? Are you so surprised?"
How can I not be surprised? My boss is pursuing you, but you buy food for other men. The little fat man muttered to himself, and suddenly remembered that he had seen Chu Qing and Qi Weichen together several times, and they seemed to have a good relationship. He immediately began to worry.
"Why buy these for him?" Qi Muyang frowned.
Chu Qing paused for a moment and said, "The school cafeteria only sells rice with toppings these past two days, and he doesn't like it."
"Give it to me, I'm in the same dormitory with him." Qi Muyang said impatiently.
When Chu Qing heard that, she thought it was perfect and immediately handed the things to him. Neither of them said anything, only the fat guy was worried about them.
After Chu Qing handed the things to Qi Muyang, she didn't care about them anymore. She went back to the dormitory and went to bed early. The next morning, she took the bus directly to the Internet cafe to work. Not long after she arrived, she saw Qi Muyang coming in with a dark face.
"Didn't you receive the message I sent you?" he asked angrily.
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment and looked down at her phone. Only then did she see the message he sent her asking her to call him when she went out. She looked at him puzzledly: "Why do you want to call you?"
"Can't I go online?" Qi Muyang asked unhappily.
Chu Qing's mouth twitched: "Okay, okay, do whatever you want."
"Call me every time you come here next time." Qi Muyang said with a stern face, and then awkwardly asked the network administrator to turn on the computer.
Chu Qing paused for a moment, and finally understood why he asked her to call him: "Are you worried about me being here alone?"
"Don't be so conceited!" Qi Muyang denied it immediately, but his ears turned a little red.
Chu Qing laughed: "You don't know my strength yet, why are you so careful?"
"You know shit! Stay away from me, I want to play games." Qi Muyang was about to chase the person away without saying a few words.
Chu Qing curled her lips and was about to continue teasing him when she was called by the boss to clean up. Qi Muyang saw her working and frowned unhappily. He had the urge to pull her away, but he also knew that if he really did that, he might not even be able to be friends.
Chu Qing didn't feel anything. After all, there weren't troublemakers in the Internet cafe every day, but they did have to get paid every day, so cleaning and moving things around were all very normal things.
When the boss came back from a walk, he saw that the house was much cleaner. He was immediately satisfied with her and told her that she could sit down and play games when she was not busy.
A guy who had just been beaten yesterday heard this and immediately started to act weird after the boss left: "It's good to be a woman. Many people will cherish you. If you are more extravagant, you may not have to do any work and spend endless money. I wish I were a woman."
"You are also a man, you should know that men care a lot about appearance. Go back and take a piss and look at yourself. Would anyone want a woman with this shrunken face of yours?" Chu Qing glanced at the green hair on top of his head and the swollen face underneath the green hair.
Green Hair slammed the table immediately: "Say it again!"
"Okay, we're all colleagues from now on, so stop arguing." The network administrator hurried out to persuade
Qi Muyang, who was playing games in the corner, noticed the commotion here, and his eyes suddenly became violent. Although Chu Qing didn't look at him, she still waved in his direction, and then asked Green Hair with a smile: "Do you want to be beaten again?"
After saying that, he moved his fingers, and the joints made a snapping sound, as if he was ready to hit someone. After gritting his teeth for a long time, Green Hair turned around and walked away in hatred.
"Coward." Chu Qing said with boredom.
The network administrator looked at this and that, coughed dryly, and returned to his cashier counter.
Chu Qing had nothing to do, so she went to watch Qi Muyang play games. In the afternoon, Green Hair started looking for trouble again, but this time he had learned his lesson and did not provoke her directly. Instead, he chose other ways to trip up Chu Qing, such as deliberately dirtying the places she had cleaned, creating the illusion that she had not cleaned them, or deliberately making her do some heavy work.
This method was really elementary school, Chu Qing was too lazy to deal with him, but he became more and more excessive, and even other staff members couldn't stand it anymore. Qi Muyang wanted to beat him up several times, but was stopped by Chu Qing: "No matter how annoying he is, he is still a member of the Internet cafe. If you hit him, the people here will definitely not let you leave in one piece."
"So that's it?" Qi Muyang asked irritably.
Chu Qing thought for three seconds: "Not necessarily."
Qi Muyang: “?”
Chu Qing raised the corners of her lips, and a sly light flashed in her eyes. An hour later, several pieces of clothes left by the boss in the Internet cafe were suddenly splashed with red ink, and the ink bottle was found in Chu Qing's place.
The boss called all the employees of the Internet cafe to the lounge for this. Green Hair looked at Chu Qing with gloating, and the smugness in his eyes was not concealed. After smoking a cigarette with a cold face, the boss made a decision: "Li Chao, you don't have to come tomorrow."
Green Hair was stunned, and after confirming that it was his name that was called, he asked angrily: "She did it, why should I leave?!"
"I've seen your behavior over this period of time. I thought you were a veteran employee, so I didn't say anything to you, but you've been going too far. Now you've done this to frame Chu Qing." The boss was obviously very angry. After taking a breath, he continued, "Go now. Since you've worked here for so long, I won't call the police."
Green Hair was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Chu Qing's calm face, he immediately understood. He kicked over the table and yelled: "You f*cking framed me?!"
"What frame-up? I know nothing." Chu Qing opened her innocent eyes wide, like a pure white lotus.
"You fucking..."
"That's enough!" The boss lowered his voice, "Do you still want your salary this month?! Do you really think I don't know how you have been targeting Chu Qing during this period? When you slandered people, you should have known that we are not blind!"
As soon as the boss said this, Green Hair's anger was directed at him: "I have to make things clear with you guys even if I don't want the money anymore! Do you really think I'm easy to bully..."
After he cursed at the boss, Chu Qing knew the matter was settled, so she quietly left the lounge and went to find Qi Muyang with a smile: "Green Hair has been fired, and the Internet cafe will be mine from now on."
Qi Muyang: “?”
After understanding the whole story, he had only one thought: women are really scary...
In a blink of an eye, Chu Qing had been working in the Internet cafe for almost a week. He felt that everything was good. The work was easy, the salary was paid daily, and the working hours were flexible. The only bad thing was that he would feel very sleepy during class.
Not only was she sleepy, but Qi Muyang, who accompanied her to work every day, was also sleepy. If he skipped school to work the night shift, he would definitely sleep all day the next day and would only open his eyes when the teacher approached. However, even if they slept all day, they both looked tired and their dark circles were getting heavier.
Every time Qi Weichen saw them sleeping, the air pressure around him would drop a point. His deskmate Chen Xiu studied hard every day while shivering.
It was another Friday night. When Qi Weichen returned to the dormitory, he saw that Qi Muyang had changed his clothes. When they looked at each other, he waved his hand and said, "I'm not coming back tonight."
"Where are you going?" Qi Weichen frowned and asked this question for the first time.
Qi Muyang paused and looked at him strangely: "Surfing the Internet, what else can you do?"
"With Chu Qing." Qi Weichen's question was not a question.
Qi Muyang raised his eyebrows: "Why, are you going to report us? Let me remind you that you can enter and leave the school freely tonight."
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment: "You guys have been in a bad mood recently."
"Staying up all night won't do any good. Let's talk about it after this period of time." It really wasn't a good idea to keep going like this. He was already asking Chu Qing for other part-time jobs.
Seeing that he was going out, Qi Weichen frowned in disapproval: "Don't go, have a good rest."
Qi Muyang was stunned for a moment, and when he met his cold eyes, he couldn't say no. The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, until the phone rang, Qi Muyang came back to his senses: "Chu Qing is waiting for me downstairs, I won't tell you yet." After saying that, he dodged past him and ran away.
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment, then turned around and chased after him. However, when he got downstairs, there was no one in front of the dormitory building. Chu Qing and Qi Muyang had obviously left.
He stood alone downstairs of the dormitory building. The street lights stretched his figure very long. His drooping eyes hid all his emotions. Just standing there, loneliness was about to overflow. Chen Xiu, who had just returned from the supermarket, was stunned when she saw him. She mustered up the courage to come forward and say hello: "What are you doing here?"
Qi Weichen raised his eyes and looked at him: "Do you know which Internet cafe Qi Muyang and the others went to?"
"I know. Do you want to go online too?" Chen Xiu looked at him innocently.
…
Here, Chu Qing followed Qi Muyang, the treacherous minister and the fat boy out of the school. As she walked, she suddenly realized something was wrong. She turned back suddenly and saw a black shadow flash by.
"What's wrong?" asked the fat boy.
Chu Qing frowned: "I always feel like someone is following us."
"They must be in love, they are all acting so sneaky." The little fat man said casually.
Chu Qing frowned: "But I've been feeling this way lately."
"Then there are always people in love. This is a school, there aren't so many weird people." The treacherous minister glanced at her.
Chu Qing thought so too, and stopped worrying about it. After getting in the passenger seat of the taxi, she looked through the rearview mirror at the three people squeezed in the back and sighed helplessly: "I can go by myself, you don't have to follow me every day."
"Don't feel any psychological burden. I just want to go out and have fun." The little fat man said immediately.
The treacherous ministers never missed any opportunity to show their loyalty: "Wherever the boss goes, I go."
Chu Qing was speechless and turned to look at Qi Muyang: "Don't follow me starting tomorrow. I don't earn as much as you guys spend." They used to go there only once or twice a week, but now because of her, they hang out in the Internet cafe every day and spend a lot of extra money.
"What do you care?" Qi Muyang said impatiently.
Chu Qing knew that this man was stubborn, so she just let out a click and ignored him.
After arriving at the Internet cafe, the few people separated. The ones who were hushing occupied the seats in the corner, while Chu Qing went to sign in.
"Today someone saw Green Hair taking people to eat nearby. You and your friends should be careful." The network administrator reminded in a low voice. Since Chu Qing always called that man Green Hair, they started to call him that too.
A trace of disgust flashed across Chu Qing's eyes: "Why is he so haunting?"
"Who knows? But he may not be here to see you. I just paid him his salary tonight. Maybe he is here to get the money and have a meal." The network administrator comforted him.
Although the network administrator said so, Chu Qing still felt uneasy. After all, she was not alone now, there were three friends, so she had to be careful. After sitting in the Internet cafe for a few minutes, she asked for leave and asked the few people playing games to leave together.
"That green-haired kid is really determined to stop us." The fat man was curious.
Chu Qing shrugged: "I'm not sure either, but just in case, let's go back early today."
"I don't think there's any need to be afraid. Master Chu, you're so powerful, it should be no problem for you to beat ten by yourself. Boss... just beat five. The traitor and I will each take one. There's no need to be afraid of them." The little fat man was very confident.
The traitor was immediately dissatisfied: "Who said that the boss can only beat five? The boss can beat eleven... And don't call me a traitor!"
"Traitor, I know you are loyal to the Lord, but you can't be so thick-skinned towards the boss." The fat man sighed.
The treacherous minister looked at him speechlessly: "I think you have a thick filter for Mr. Chu."
The two of them were arguing with each other and neither of them gave in. As a result, they didn't notice that Chu Qing and Qi Muyang in front of them suddenly stopped. If they hadn't pulled back in time, they would have bumped into them.
The little fat guy looked up in confusion: "Boss, what's going on..." Before he could finish his words, he saw Green Hair and a dozen other people blocking the way not far ahead, each of them holding a baseball bat or something like that in their hands.
He was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the treacherous minister. He happened to meet his eyes, and they tacitly understood from each other's eyes what the other wanted to say: The opportunity to witness who is more powerful between Master Chu and the boss has come.
Seeing those people approaching, Chu Qing lowered her voice and said, "I'll count to one, two, three."
The fat man and the treacherous minister immediately got ready to fight.
"One, two... run!"
When the last word was roared out, Chu Qing and Qi Muyang turned around and ran in different directions. The fat man and the treacherous minister were stunned for a moment, and when they realized that they had run away, their faces broke. They screamed and ran after them, and soon scattered.
Green Hair and the others immediately split up to chase after them, with the largest number of people chasing after Chu Qing. She ran as fast as she could, only hearing the sound of the wind and her own breathing, leaving those people far behind.
However, there were many alleys here, with intersecting roads and walls everywhere. Chu Qing was not very familiar with the place, and soon she lost track of the direction she was running. When she heard voices around the corner ahead, she realized that she had gone around in a circle and was actually running towards those people.
She took a deep breath and was about to turn around to find the way again when suddenly a big hand grabbed her arm and the next second she was pulled behind the trash can in the corner.
Chu Qing subconsciously wanted to punch him, but the moment she bumped into his chest, she immediately smelled a familiar scent on him. She looked up and could only vaguely see his jaw in the dark.
He lowered his head, his slender fingers resting on her lips, lowered his voice and looked at her seriously: "Shh."
