Chapter 699 The New Year is Coming
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Li Yu gave the company a holiday a few days in advance in order to make it easier for everyone to buy tickets and go home.
However, he was not in a hurry to leave. He stayed in City B for two more days, purchased some New Year's goods and mailed them back first.
In addition, I took the time to sign a client. He was a young man named Wu Yang who had been paralyzed in bed for many years. He was a former group friend of Lu Weijia. He was a freelance illustrator by profession and liked novels and games, especially Western fantasy. background.
Li Yu saw many figurines and setting collections of "Devil World", "Dragon Spear", "Divine Realm" and "A Song of Ice and Fire" in his house.
The two chatted briefly for a while, and Wu Yang talked about his dream with great interest - he said that if there really was an afterlife, he hoped that he could become a knight and write his own legend.
"I've played a lot of strategic battle flag games. I'm very good at arranging troops and making use of the surrounding environment. Oh, and I've also practiced swordsmanship. Although... it's only about the upper body, but I've also memorized the steps, so I can make up for it later. On, well, if I could walk again.”
Li Yu nodded and handed over the contract in his hand, "Please be sure to read the terms inside carefully. If there are no problems, you can sign at the back. This way, after you... die, I will come back and take away your soul. ”
"Cool." Wu Yang took the contract, scanned it roughly, and couldn't wait to write down his name. Then he looked up and asked Li Yu, "Is there magic there?"
"Not as far as I know, but there are some supernatural forces, and dragons."
"Dragon? Wow, I really want to see those behemoths in person."
"There will be a chance," Li Yu stood up and shook hands with Wu Yang, "take care of yourself."
"I will. I have to make some preparations for my journey as a knight, so that I won't be in a hurry when I take up a new position."
Li Yu left Wu Yang's residence, went to the parking lot nearby to retrieve his car, and drove to the company's parking lot.
Seeing that there were still two intersections left to reach the park, Li Yu saw another familiar figure on the roadside when he stopped and waited for the red light.
It was An Yixin who lived above him. She was standing with four people who looked like her classmates.
However, An Yixin's eyes looked very wary, and she kept grabbing the headphones around her neck.
The next moment she was grabbed by the hair by a tall and thin girl wearing a jacket, "You stole Yiyi's iPad Pro, right? I've heard similar rumors early in the morning. Your hands and feet are not clean."
< br>
The person she called Yiyi was a girl wearing a pink miumiu down jacket. She was standing on the other side with her head lowered.
And she was accompanied by two other boys.
An Yixin struggled, trying to break away the tall and thin girl's hand, "I didn't steal her iPad Pro, you have the wrong person."
"Really?" the tall girl sneered, and used strength in her hands, "Yiyi said that during lunch today, you looked at her several times, and you probably wanted to take action at that time."
"I told you I didn't steal it!" An Yixin suddenly stretched out her hand and punched the tall girl in the chest.
The latter was caught off guard and hit by her, and involuntarily let go of the hand holding his hair.
An Yixin wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but was stopped by a boy with sharp eyes and quick hands.
The tall and thin girl was obviously angered by An Yixin's punch, so she went up and slapped An Yixin in the face. However, considering that she was still on the street and there were many people watching, she didn't do anything more extreme.
He just winked at the two boys and asked them to take An Yixin to a place with few people.
And the girl named Yiyi still lowered her head and didn't say a word, as if all this had nothing to do with her.
An Yi wanted to scream for help, but the tall and thin girl took the lead and threatened, "If you dare to scream, you will never be able to hang out in the school again. I will ask someone to block you in the toilet every day." Beat up.
"Either hand over the iPad Pro or pay fifteen thousand yuan."
"I told her that I didn't steal her iPad Pro, and I wasn't looking at her while eating. I was just looking at the stray cats outside the window." An Yixin said.
"You're a lying little bitch." The tall girl grabbed An Yixin's collar and raised her hand.
But at this time, a BMW 3 Series parked next to them.
Li Yu lowered the window and said to An Yi, "Get in the car."
An Yixin glanced at the tall and thin girl. The latter hesitated and glanced at Yiyi aside from the corner of his eye. The latter probably didn't want the matter to get too big and involve other people, so he nodded slightly at her. nodded.
The tall and thin girl then let go of her hand and snorted coldly at An Yixin, "I underestimated you. Not only did you steal things, but you also sold them. How much does it cost to sleep with you for one night? Do you want me to introduce you to them? Guest.”
An Yixin didn't answer, she just took two steps and picked up the sneakers she had kicked off when she was struggling.
However, he opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.
Li Yu waited for her to fasten her seat belt before stepping on the accelerator and leaving.
"The car is nice." An Yixin sniffed.
"From the company." Li Yu said while driving, "Are you causing trouble again?"
"The world is like this. If you are unlucky, you will always be unlucky."
"You should also make some friends in school to avoid what happened just now." Li Yu suggested.
"It's useless." An Yixin said lightly, "You adults always say that school is a pure place, but in my opinion, the hierarchy in school is no less than a slave society.
"The classes here are very clear. If you are at the top of the pyramid, like Zhang Jingyi, you don't have to do anything, there will be a lot of people crying and shouting to be your friends.
"But if you are like me and are at the bottom of the entire food chain, even if you squeeze into their small circle with a smiling face, you are just their toy and slave."
"Why did they beat you?" Li Yu asked.
“They think I stole Zhang Jingyi’s iPad Pro.”
"Did you steal it?"
"I'm not a fool. There are plenty of easy targets. Why bother with Zhang Jingyi's gang?"
"So you have indeed been stealing recently?"
"No, I listened to you and have stopped." An Yixin said, "I'm looking for new ways to make money."
"Are you so short of pocket money?"
Li Yu looked at An Yixin again and found that the right sleeve of her down jacket was torn, revealing the silk-like cotton underneath.
An Yixin nodded, "I need money to buy records."
"You need a new down jacket," Li Yu said, "Let's go, I'll take you to a nearby shopping mall to pick one out."
"Then what do I have to pay for?" An Yixin raised her head.
"You can come to my place part-time. My company is currently filming some short videos for Douyin B station. When there is a shortage of roles, you have to fill in. Depending on the quality of the performance, I will pay you the corresponding salary." (End of chapter) )
