TMISIU- chapter 23

In a shanty town on the outskirts of Gusu City, Wei Zhuliu had just finished arguing with the landlord who was urging the rent.

He had been renting this house of less than 10 square meters these days. He went out to look for work during the day, but had not been able to find one.

There were many foreign rural people like him who come to work in Gusu City, but he did not have any advantage to compete with those migrant workers in their young and strong years.

Without academic qualifications and skills that could be used, he was destined to struggle only at the bottom of the city.

There were only two or three hundred yuan left in Wei Zhuliu’s hand.

He squatted at the door, fumbled out the last cigarette, lit it and took a big puff.

He wondered if he still had to go to Wei Ying, this time he had to get money no matter what.

With a cigarette in his hand, Wei Zhuliu got up from the bumpy ground and was about to rush to Gusu High School when he saw a young woman in a white skirt approaching.

She wore delicate makeup, neat short hair, and a pair of stiletto, as if walking out of the most expensive office building in the city center, her whole body was incompatible with this place.

Wei Zhuliu looked at it a few times, feeling a little strange.

When he was going to pass by, the woman stopped and asked him, “Are you Mr. Wei Zhuliu?”

Wei Zhuliu was stunned, then subconsciously nodded.

“Hello, I’m Wang Zixuan, assistant to the chairman of Lanxi Group.” Wang Zixuan showed a formulaic smile, “Can I find another place to talk to you in detail?”

The next thing was far beyond Wei Zhuliu’s imagination. He was taken into a coffee shop he had never entered before by this woman named Wang Zixuan.

After two cups of coffee that worth his meal for several days came up, Wang Zixuan directly explained her intentions:

“I’m here this time mainly to solve work problems for Mr. Wei.”

She took out a document from her briefcase and put it in front of Wei Zhuliu, “This is a security post for a property subsidiary of Lanxi Group. It provides board and lodging. Today you can directly start.”

Wei Zhuliu looked at the job description on this document with disbelief. He had never encountered a salary like that after working for so many years.

But there was no good thing in the world.

He looked at Wang Zixuan suspiciously and asked: “I don’t know the chairman of your group, why should he offer me a job? There must be some conditions?”

He had just been scammed of money by the so-called fellow, and he remained wary of everything, but he didn’t figure out what else could be scammed from him, he was almost penniless.

Wang Zixuan took a sip of coffee and slowly said, “Of course there are conditions. The condition is that you can’t disturb your son Wei Ying for a minute and even a second before he graduates from high school.”

Wei Zhuliu’s eyes widened suddenly. He had already smelled the weirdness of this incident, and said in a huff:

“Laozi is his father. It is only right to find my son. You are an outsider. Why do you care about other people’s father and son affairs?”

Wang Zixuan chuckled lightly, and replied slowly: “As my young master is his sponsor, everything during his studies in Gusu High School is under the control of my young master.”

Wei Zhuliu’s complexion turned pale, he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, “What are you trying to do with my son?! I tell you, even if I don’t have a penny, I will never allow you rich people to do anything dirty to my son!”

He had been wandering and working outside these years, so he had heard of the special habits of the upper class.

He asked why Wei Ying was suddenly sponsored to study at Gusu No. 1 High School. It turned out that someone had ulterior motives for Wei Ying.

Wang Zixuan frowned, and disgust appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that Wei Zhuliu’s malicious speculation had offended her. She sneered:

“My young master is about the same age as your son. What can you do to support your son? It’s a shame that you, as Wei Ying’s father, have to rely on your son for support.”

Although she didn’t understand why her young master was so concerned about the poor student from another place, she would never allow anyone to slander him.

Wei Zhuliu was so angry that he almost lifted the table, but he finally endured it.

This woman was right. He had to rely on his son to support him, and he was indeed a scumbag.

“But I’m his father, can’t I just go to school and just take a simple look at my son?” Wei Zhuliu took a step back and asked with raised eyebrows.

Wang Zixuan said calmly: “I don’t think your ‘simple look’ is a good thing for high school students who need to concentrate on their studies.”

Not long ago, the young master of her family gave her a monitoring video at the entrance of Gusu High School and asked her to check.

This father obviously did not have enough quality, there was no care or love for his son.

She paused and said seriously: “Your son will be admitted to a good university and have a life completely different from yours. If you really want to be good for him, not disturbing him is the most useful thing you can do. “

Wei Zhuliu was silent for a long time. He finally agreed to this condition and signed the contract that Wang Zixuan took out.

Before Wang Zixuan left, she said coldly: “Remember to abide by the regulations. Besides, you can’t tell Wei Ying about this.”

Wei Zhuliu waved his hand irritably.

---

Wei Ying soon received the money from the school and gave most of the money to Yu Ziyuan for Wei Yanli’s medicine, and the remaining part was not only the living expenses, but also the money intended to be given to Wei Zhuliu.

He wanted to wait for him to become an adult, except for Wei Yanli, he would no longer care about these two people.

But Wei Zhuliu never came to him. He thought that maybe Wei Zhuliu finally found a job and he didn’t need to ask him for money.

Wei Ying didn’t take this matter to heart anymore. He had one more important thing, and that was to invite Lan Zhan to dinner on Sunday.

He had searched for a long time these days, and initially selected five restaurants near the downtown business district.

“You look at this seafood restaurant in this Aode Square? I heard from my roommate that it’s delicious.”

Wei Ying approached Lan Zhan during class and showed him his cell phone. On the phone was a restaurant in a review app.

In fact, he had never eaten seafood himself and would like to try it.

Lan Zhan said: “I don’t eat seafood.” He was allergic to seafood.

“Okay, then I’ll change to another restaurant.”

Wei Ying didn’t notice that he was a little too close to Lan Zhan. He just leaned close to Lan Zhan, lowered his head and flipped through his favorite restaurant on his mobile phone.

Lan Zhan looked down and he could clearly see Wei Ying’s white and slender back of the neck, which extends downward because of the thin and slightly raised spine.

Further down, it was hidden by the neckline of the white shirt, and only the faint peach-scented shower gel could be smelled.

“How about this hot pot restaurant? I think the rating is quite high.” Wei Ying raised his head and asked Lan Zhan, blinking.

“I don’t eat spicy food.” Lan Zhan said flatly.

“Okay.” Wei Ying lowered his head and flipped the phone again.

“How about this Southeast Asian restaurant? I see the environment in the picture is pretty good.” Wei Ying asked, looking up.

“Too far.”

Wei Ying had to look down at other restaurants again, but he had asked all five restaurants in turn, Lan Zhan always had reason to say no, he could only look down and search again and again.

Wei Ying thought that rich people were too difficult to serve.

Finally he couldn’t help asking directly: “Then what do you like to eat?”

Lan Zhan retracted his gaze and said, “Whatever, I’m okay with anything.”

“???”  Wei Ying stared at Lan Zhan.

Can you really eat whatever?

He became a little angry. He squinted his eyes, slumped down and got closer to Lan Zhan, he stared at Lan Zhan’s eyes as he asked: “Lan Zhan, are you teasing me again?”

Lan Zhan looked down into his eyes and with a nonchalant tone he said: “Yes.”

Wei Ying didn’t expect this person to admit it. He didn’t find a good expression for a while, and slightly opened his ruddy lips, staring at Lan Zhan blankly, forgetting how to fight back.

But the next second he felt that his neck was pinched neither lightly nor heavily by one hand, and he moved back.

He subconsciously shrank his body, like a cat whose neck was bitten and raised, and was lifted to the side.

“What are you doing?!” Wei Ying couldn’t help but tremble, and hurriedly covered the back of his neck with his hand, his eyes rounded.

He never knew that his back neck was so sensitive.

The place where Lan Zhan’s fingers touched seemed to have an electric current rushing down his spine, even his heart couldn’t help but tremble.

He put on an angry face, attempting to hide his reddened face and ears.

“You are too close to me.” Lan Zhan said lightly, twisting the thumb and index finger that had been retracted.

Wei Ying suddenly felt that his heart was about to jump out.

He slapped the table in a panic, saying loudly, all bark in one breath like bunny: “I don’t care. At 6:30 on Sunday night, you must come to the Guangdong-Hong Kong tea restaurant in Aode Square!”

Lan Zhan lifted the corners of his lips slightly and said, “Okay.”
