Chapter 496: Chapter 496
At 8:30 in the evening, Huo Feng finally finished leveling up with Yan Siyuan and called Pu Sangzhi.
At eight-thirty, Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao were already lying in bed together, talking about life in the dark, when Huo Feng’s call came...
After answering the phone, because Yan Siyuan was mentioned in the conversation, Ye Qingcao wanted to listen in, so Pu Sangzhi turned on the speaker.
As a result, Ye Qingcao could hear everything Pu Sangzhi was saying to Huo Feng.
Pu Sangzhi told Huo Feng about the part-time job she found that day, which made Huo Feng really distressed!
Although Huo Feng was also working hard to earn money, he genuinely felt that it was a sin to have Pu Sangzhi out there working for money, especially selling clothes! Ten hours a day, it was just too tiring!
"This job is too exhausting..."
Huo Feng said to Pu Sangzhi, "Baby, listen to me, don’t go tomorrow. Otherwise, I’ll take you leveling up tomorrow! Make money by playing games with me!"
Pu Sangzhi declined, "No need, your method isn’t for me. I think being a salesperson is pretty good, gaining some social experience, and maybe even improving my eloquence."
Pu Sangzhi accepted this part-time job with the intention of gaining some experience.
However, Huo Feng rejected that idea, "Why hone your speaking skills? You’ve always been someone who relies on actual ability, not mere talk. What, are you planning on selling insurance or something?"
Hearing this, Ye Qingcao at her side couldn’t help but cover her lips and snicker, while Pu Sangzhi was left speechless...
Sometimes Huo Feng really said things that were annoying!
Pu Sangzhi felt that he often lacked emotional intelligence!
As a potential future boyfriend, shouldn’t he be encouraging her at times !
After a while, Huo Feng said, "I really think selling clothes is too tiring! Sangzhi, how about you wait another day, and I’ll find you a part-time job! One that’s easy and makes good money..."
Ye Qingcao next to her expressed skepticism, "Bro Feng, is there really such a job? It’s not being a streamer, is it?"
Huo Feng denied it, "Streaming is out of the question; our Sangzhi can’t show her face! Let me think about it, with the internet being so developed, it’s easy to find a job online!"
No sooner had he finished this sentence than Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao unanimously rejected it, "Let’s not do anything online!"
Huo Feng was silent for a few seconds...
After a few seconds, Huo Feng, on the other end of the phone, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why?"
Ye Qingcao laughed and said, "I think retail shops are great! You can interact with people and gain life experience!" Latest content publıshed on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩
Sangzhi also said, "Don’t worry about it, we’ve already decided to go to work tomorrow."
They wouldn’t be trusting the internet again anytime soon!
Just this morning, both of them were tricked by online scams, and they each lost a hundred bucks!
Having just experienced a tough lesson paid for in blood and tears, they were now definitely not going to accept online jobs so readily!
Hearing their firmness, Huo Feng could only sigh, "Are you really sure?"
Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Positive."
Huo Feng sighed again and touched his chest, "It hurts me to see you do such tiring part-time work..."
At those words, Ye Qingcao at her side couldn’t help but mockingly "tsk tsk" under her breath...
Pu Sangzhi’s cheeks flushed, her happiness secretly overflowing in a world invisible to Huo Feng, "What’s there to be distressed about a part-time job... If you really care about me, go clean up your mess of love affairs."
Huo Feng raised an eyebrow, "Mess of love affairs? Who?"
Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips, "I didn’t want to tell you, but since it came up, you might as well know that yesterday, Chen Chaonan wanted to add me on WeChat, but I refused. Then she sent a bunch of messages, saying things like... she likes you, but you like me, and told me to take good care of you or something."
Huo Feng immediately scorned, "Oh, come on, she’s still such a busybody! Always been like that since we were kids, never changes!"
This made Pu Sangzhi feel somewhat jealous, "Doesn’t that mean she’s liked you since she was very young?"
Huo Feng vaguely sensed the hint of jealousy, his lips curving into a smirk, "Jealous, huh?"
Pu Sangzhi denied, "Not at all."
Huo Feng, "If you’re jealous, just admit it, why suffer in silence!"
Of course, Pu Sangzhi wouldn’t admit it, "There’s nothing to admit."
Huo Feng feigned seriousness with a sigh, "Alas, if you’re not jealous, then there’s nothing I can do..."
Pu Sangzhi, "What do you mean you can’t do anything? Don’t you want to sort this out?"
Huo Feng, "If you’re not jealous, then whatever she does doesn’t bother you. In that case, I just can’t be bothered to deal with it..."
Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath and stubbornly said, "Fine, then don’t bother. It doesn’t matter to me!"
"Oh my... oh my... oh dear..."
"What are you doing, making noise in the middle of the night?" Pu Sangzhi’s tone was already displeased.
"Why can I smell the tang of jealousy through the phone~"
Huo Feng didn’t hold back in teasing her, "I can’t take it anymore; the sourness is killing me. You’ve got to blow me a kiss to freshen things up!"
Pu Sangzhi giggled at his words, "Keep dreaming!"
Huo Feng also broke into a smile, "Sangzhi, what time do you start work tomorrow? And what time do you get off?"
Pu Sangzhi said, "From 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., with a one-hour break for dinner."
"I told you that ten hours is too long! It’ll exhaust you to death!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Feng frowned, "Alright, alright, I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning and bring you back in the evening, and it’ll be every day from now on."
Huo Feng was truly a man of action.
Although sometimes his words might not sound pleasant, his actions were always up to par.
When Pu Sangzhi heard that he would pick her up and drop her off, her heart instantly warmed, and a gentle warmth welled up from the depths of her heart, spreading to all her limbs.
She quietly curled her lips in a smile, feeling very pleased, "No need. From now on, I’ll ride bikes with Xiaocao every day to get there, and then we’ll ride back together in the evening. The two of us will keep each other company."
Huo Feng said, "It’s alright, my electric scooter can fit two people. I’ll take care of your commute from now on. The commotion has died down, and my dad has already lifted my house arrest today. Starting tomorrow, I’ll officially drive both of you to and from work. Forgive me for only doing this much; I won’t join you in that tiring part-time job! I’ve got an easy and more profitable side gig that I need to work on to earn my own money!"
Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Mhm. You do your best, earn more."
Huo Feng lifted the corners of his lips, "Of course! Next month is your birthday, and I have to make sure you have an unforgettable one!"
Pu Sangzhi furrowed her brow, "Hey, no squandering! No buying expensive and useless gifts! Don’t spend that money!"
Huo Feng laughed, "Money is meant to be spent, and there may not be a gift, but I promise it’ll definitely be a surprise!"
Pu Sangzhi, "You can’t spend a lot of money!"
Huo Feng obediently said, "I know."
Huo Feng just wanted to ask everyone!
Is there a more virtuous girlfriend in the world than Pu Sangzhi!
She’s not even an official girlfriend yet, and she’s already thinking of saving money for him !
This moved Huo Feng to the brink of tears!
"It’s very late already, let’s hang up. I have to work tomorrow." Pu Sangzhi said.
Huo Feng, reluctant to say goodbye, responded, "Alright, hang up then. Although my heart is screaming a thousand times ’don’t hang up,’ and I want to talk to you for another hour... What do you think?"
Pu Sangzhi laughed, "I think it’s time to say good night."
Such hints, yet she still rejected him so directly!
Huo Feng... resigned!
Huo Feng couldn’t help but sigh, "Sigh, good night. My Sangzhi, little Virgo."
Pu Sangzhi, "Hey! Don’t call me that!"
Huo Feng, "Aren’t you a Virgo?"
Huo Feng, "You are my Sangzhi, little Virgo. Good night, little Virgo!"
With that, the call ended.
After hanging up, Ye Qingcao on the side burst into laughter, "Sangzhi, my crush is also a Virgo..."
Pu Sangzhi, "Yan Siyuan?"
Ye Qingcao nodded with a smile, "It must be fate! It turns out, not all Virgos are doomed; there are outstanding ones among them! Look at you and my crush, you’re both paragons of people!"
Pu Sangzhi gave an awkward smile...
Ye Qingcao let out a sigh, "Ah, I wonder what my Siyuan, little Virgo man, is up to..."
Pu Sangzhi, "So gross..."
Early next morning, true to his word, Huo Feng promptly arrived with his electric scooter to pick up the two girls for their part-time jobs.
He brought the girls to Tangxia Metersbonwe store, parked his electric scooter in front of the shop, and watched them go in.
Huo Feng actually really wanted to go in and buy a set of clothes, to be the first customer at Pu Sangzhi’s first job!
But... he was penniless now!
All because of Yan Siyuan’s tricks, he’d spent all his savings on that course...
Now utterly broke, he couldn’t even support his girlfriend!
Huo Feng felt miserable!
