Today's broadcast calisthenics gave Xiao Qin another silver star. This way, she just happened to have five gold stars on the Stars Ranking and fulfilled my condition of buying her a new phone.
After lunch, I talked to her on the field and asked her which brand of phone she preferred. She mumbled that she didn't want me to buy her a phone anymore.
"Why not? Didn't you want a gift from me before? "
I expressed my understanding.
"But, but mobile phones are still too expensive!" Xiao Qin said hesitantly, "I've been thinking about it for the past few days. If I accept it just because Ye Lin classmate wants to give me a phone, then I'd be a bit thick-skinned!"
No, as Teacher Shui Qin, your skin is really thick. Bring out your thick skin when you face your readers, there's no need to be embarrassed anymore!
"Um … Ye Lin classmate should give me a cheap phone accessory instead! How many accessories can you buy with the money for a phone! I really liked the ring Ye Lin classmate gave me last time … "
"This phone isn't just a gift, it's also a tool you can use to check the leaderboard!"
Xiao Qin's current phone only has a good appearance and high resolution. The other functions are outdated and it can't even go online.
"I can check the leaderboard on the computer. If I need to know, I can also ask Ye Lin classmate …"
I stuck my hands in my pockets and felt a bit impatient.
"Why are you going back and forth! Didn't we already agree on it! If you don't want the phone, I'll buy it for someone else! "
"Ye, who is Ye Lin classmate giving it to?" Xiao Qin immediately revealed a worried expression.
I only said it casually, I didn't think it through. Since the arrow was already nocked, I lied:
"If you don't want it … I'll give it to Winnie! When we were at Cuisong Mountain, Winnie used her phone to lure me away in order to help me get the Blue Flash Butterfly! I promised to buy her a new phone! "
Actually, it was a joke between Winnie and me. Winnie's phone was already modified by Dr. Yu and could play the latest games. Winnie wouldn't accept a new phone even if I gave her a new one.
After hearing my words, Xiao Qin let out a sigh of relief.
"That scared me to death. If you're buying it for Winnie, then since you promised her beforehand, it's fine. After all, Ye Lin classmate is someone who keeps his promises … I'll be satisfied as long as you buy me a phone accessory …"
What? Aren't you jealous that you bought it for your best friend instead of the class leader?
Childish! Naive! Don't tell me you don't know that the three types of defense for women in the new era are "Fire, Burglary, and Best Friends"? How many boyfriends were snatched away by their girlfriends?
However, Winnie didn't seem like someone who would steal her best friend's boyfriend, as long as she didn't eat any devil fruit that would cause her to enter estrus.
I've always been stubborn since I was a child. I'm what my elders call a "docile donkey". I especially don't like it when people force me to do things. Back in the day, the Little Tyrant would beat me up every day to make me give in, so I would act tough and fight back.
Similarly, if I want to give someone a gift and they don't accept it, I will also feel inexplicably angry. For example, it seems like Xiao Qin "forced me not to give her a gift."
"Hmph, I already asked Dr. Yu to upgrade the hardware for Winnie's phone! If I give her a phone now, it would be superfluous and she would suspect that I'm trying to hit on her! "
"So that's how it is …" Xiao Qin nodded in realization, "If this phone has that special meaning, then please give it to me, please hit on me …"
"That's not why I'm giving it to you! In a way, it's your salary that should have been given to you a long time ago! "
"Huh? What did I do for Ye Lin classmate that I need to pay for? "
At this time, a middle school boy passed by and heard Xiao Qin's words. He immediately had a horrified expression and felt that a third year senior was too scary. She actually made a shady transaction on campus.
The so-called salary was the first time I forced Xiao Qin to copy Ai Mi's checkered book. I didn't give it to Xiao Qin, it was around 4000 RMB.
Although the money should have come from the American Express black card, Ai ShuQiao froze the card, so I didn't have the money to pay Xiao Qin back even if I wanted to.
Strictly speaking, the salary should have been owed by Ai Mi. If I brought it up with Ai Mi, Ai Mi would definitely generously pay Xiao Qin back — — Ai Mi has always been very generous in this regard.
"Whether it's a servant or a lackey, you have to make sure they get paid on time! Otherwise, they won't risk their lives for you! If you don't pay them back, they will betray you at a critical moment! "
Ai Mi once said this to me as if it was a lecture.
It doesn't matter if Ai Mi learned it from her mother or not, it makes some sense. I had heard that a certain real estate boss in the country had hired hitmen to kill off his competitors because of a land dispute. Moreover, he was audacious enough to delay the hitmen's wages. Thus, on a sunny day, the hitman, who had only eaten instant noodles for breakfast, accepted a commission from the boss and went to kill a target in an office building.
As a result, when the target saw the hitman pull out a gun, he immediately reacted: "Don't shoot! How much did the person who hired you pay! I'll give you double! I'll give it to you right now! "
He immediately opened the desk drawer. It was filled with RMB that was even more dazzling than the sun in the sky.
So without any suspense, the hitman betrayed his original master and threw himself into the arms of the new master. Then, he cleanly killed the original master.
The assassin world follows the principle of "take someone's money and eliminate disaster". This hitman didn't even receive a commission from the original master (because of the delayed wages), so of course he didn't violate the rules of assassins!
Later on, the assassin and his new master had a tacit understanding of each other, and they were inseparable. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Finally, they failed and were arrested. Both of them accepted the justice's approval. During the approval process, everyone learned that the assassin used to have such an awesome boss. He even dared to delay the assassin's wages.
It's true that Ai Mi is picky with her subordinates. It's normal for her to call them "trash", "pigs", and "maggots", but she would never delay the wages of her subordinates. The only reason she delayed Xiao Qin's wages was because of me (and Xiao Qin didn't even know she was being paid to copy the practice books).
Now that it's come to this, I have to take responsibility. My sister's debt is my debt. Although ¥4000 is a drop in the ocean for Ai Mi, it's almost all of my income from acting as a deaf and mute evil monk and Jin Ling Young Thug (I used a portion of my income to treat my dad to a restaurant). But I absolutely have to pay Xiao Qin's wages independently, so I decided to buy a phone!
You have to know, I forced Xiao Qin to copy the practice books when she had menstrual pains! Now that I think about it, it's really inhumane! If I was the boss and Xiao Qin was an employee, then she would be working overtime while sick. It would be unreasonable if I didn't give her an extra bonus!
I made up my mind to buy a phone for Xiao Qin, so I didn't explain to her about her wages. In the end, Xiao Qin couldn't dissuade me, so she brought up her mother and said:
"I just thought about it. My mom would definitely find out if you bought me a new phone. How would I explain it then? "
"Just tell her I bought it for you." I said with a bright idea, "The reason I was able to act as a deaf and mute evil monk was because Auntie Ren was on the set of 'The Magic Cauldron'. Also, Auntie Ren almost went on TV when she tried to give me my salary …"
"That's true." Xiao Qin played with the zipper of her school uniform while walking with me, "Outside of Cuisong Mountain Hospital, grandpa and I took care of that reporter named Zhao Yao. He told me how he wronged my mom and uncle Ye. I can't forgive him for suspecting our parents had that kind of relationship …"
Well, when Zhao Yao slandered my dad and Auntie Ren for sex, they were both innocent. But now, you're the only one who's still in the dark.
Auntie Ren didn't want to give me my salary for acting as a deaf and mute evil monk. Instead, she stubbornly wanted to give it to my guardian — — my dad. She gave it to me twice, and on the second time, she was caught in a bird flu incident and was forced to be quarantined in the hotel. Because of this, her relationship with my dad was no longer pure.
That's why I have money to buy a phone for Xiao Qin because Auntie Ren paid a huge price. Zhao Yao and the anti-pornography brigade once slandered the money in the envelope as' prostitution fees'. Now that I'm using the money on Xiao Qin, it's kind of like I'm helping my dad pay for the 'prostitution fees'.
Anyway, I told Xiao Qin not to worry about my mom. I have plenty of reasons to buy a phone for her, even if it's to repay her for saving my life at Cuisong Mountain.
After we agreed on Saturday or Sunday to go to the computer market to pick out a phone, the class bell rang.
During politics class, the class leader didn't seem to be very energetic when answering questions. She was probably worried about her mother's plan to transfer her to Shanghai for her third year of middle school.
I don't have the ability to predict the future, so I didn't know at the time. Auntie Lin quickly gave up on buying a house early because Huo ZhenBang wanted to be her neighbor. Of course, the class leader's plan to transfer schools was also put on hold.
But I already contacted Huo ZhenBang last night. I believe with his status as the leader of the Triad Hall, he should be able to handle a small matter like this (I'm only worried he would resort to violence), so I wasn't as worried as the class leader.
During break, we bumped into each other in the hallway and the class leader apologized for her mom's impulsiveness. I generously expressed that it was fine. Other than the overly creamy broccoli soup, everything else was delicious. At least I ate my fill.
"Ye Lin, I …" The class leader looked at the noisy crowd outside the window and hesitated to speak.
"Do you like this city?" The class leader finally asked a question with an unclear meaning.
"It's alright." I also followed the class leader's gaze and looked out the window. Ever since the third floor, the classrooms have been moved to the third floor. The people on the field also seem smaller and there's a subtle sense of distance.
"Do you feel cold or hot with the weather in Dong Shan city?"
It seemed like we were chatting, but the class leader started guessing riddles and I couldn't understand what she was trying to say.
