If it weren’t for He Jingyao scheming and making people go through all that trouble to work for him, Zhixi wouldn’t be feeling guilty.
He Jingyao chuckled, lowered his head, and nibbled on her earlobe saying, "Don’t worry, he’ll thank me in the future."
Zhixi expressed doubt. From her impression, this man’s ability to attract hatred was always unmatched, as for gratitude...
Seeing her disbelief, He Jingyao suddenly bit down hard.
"Ouch!" Zhixi winced in pain, "What are you doing?"
"Did you forget who your man is?" He laughed softly, "You really underestimate the influence of the name He Jingyao."
Zhixi widened her eyes: "Oh right."
She had overlooked this point!
If Xiaozhou completes this task well, given He Jingyao’s character, he probably won’t shortchange him.
For Xiaozhou, this seems to be like running into a benefactor.
Thinking of this, Zhixi found it somewhat amusing.
In the evening, as the family was preparing for bed, the door was suddenly knocked upon.
Uncle Li went to open the door, smiling, "Mr. Zhou."
"I’m here to fulfill my promise." Xiaozhou walked in, directly looking at He Jingyao who was sitting on the sofa, "I completed it, just in three days."
Zhixi raised her head to look at him, and was taken aback.
Originally a handsome and refined guy, now he had stubble, a face full of fatigue, as if he hadn’t slept, showered, or shaved in three days, with even a string of... instant noodle? hanging from his mouth.
This image couldn’t be more disheveled.
So Zhixi felt even more sympathetic towards him.
"Oh? That fast." He Jingyao was slightly surprised, then commendatory, "Not bad."
This upper-class posture towards a lower-class individual made Xiaozhou snort coldly.
He came up and placed the external hard drive on the coffee table, "I’ve placed everything I’ve written inside, you can try it."
He Jingyao raised his eyebrows, picked up that hard drive, and Zhixi had already consciously brought over his laptop, placing it in front of him.
He Jingyao quickly opened the computer, inserted the hard drive, and operated it for a while.
Ten minutes later, He Jingyao smiled faintly, "Mm, you did a great job, I’m very satisfied."
"So, we’re even." Xiaozhou said coldly.
Thinking he worked hard for three days just to get a compliment from him? How unsatisfying.
"Your skills and focus are quite impressive." He Jingyao raised his head to look at him, corners of his lips slightly lifted, "So, are you interested in taking on more work? I have similar jobs that need your help, but rest assured, next time I’ll pay you."
Xiaozhou furrowed his brows in puzzlement, "What exactly do you do?" The most update n0vels are published on NoveI-Fire.ɴet
"Currently unemployed, living off my wife." He Jingyao replied calmly, "Are you willing to take on the job?"
Xiaozhou hesitated, instinctively nodding, then added, "My rates aren’t low, can you... afford it?"
Saying this, he glanced at Zhixi.
He Jingyao also laughed, turning his gaze to her, "Wifey, what do you think?"
"Oh, no problem." Zhixi calmly said, "I have money, Xiaozhou, feel free to name your price. No matter how many tasks my husband gives you, and no matter your rates, I can afford it."
The look on the young man’s face was one of complexity.
Though he had accepted the couple’s way of interacting, seeing Zhixi’s generous and matter-of-fact attitude, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
