Chapter 6
She smiled. In fact, she wanted to say that his silhouette resembled that of a certain man
"Then, goodbye." He smiled and waved at her, then got back into the car
Xu Huicheng remarked, "Those genuine products must be quite expensive, right?" She was different from Kang Xin; Kang Xin was a celebrity who had always catered to wealthy clients, thus enjoying a more affluent lifestyle.
It is fortunate. She did not know whether he was just considering her feelings or if he had truly forgotten.
This food street is located near the back gate of a certain university, with various snacks lined up from the entrance to the end of the street. She sampled several stalls along the way before remembering that she was still in her weight loss period
The two greeted each other, and Kang Xin asked Xu Huicheng if she was injured
Kang Xin no longer forced himself, bid farewell, and went to pursue his own business
He smiled faintly, "The year-end is approaching, and the public order is quite chaotic. It's better to go home and rest early."
Keep it up. That sister inquired about her whereabouts unintentionally. Xu Huicheng is not someone who frequents a fixed venue; with one less woman, there is one less competitor.
"All thanks to my mother's nurturing" Xu Huicheng's smile appeared somewhat exaggerated
After she came out of her mother's room, she ran into Kang Xin. Kang Xin's condition was still not good, lacking her usual charming demeanor
She is not very good at recognizing faces, but she remembers that silhouette. A wave of anxiety washes over her, as if she has returned to the cold swimming pool, where he stands on the shore, coldly watching her struggle to stay afloat.
He gazed at her silhouette, suddenly realizing something, and hurriedly ran forward to stop her, then fixed his gaze intently on her face
However, he insisted on escorting her downstairs, and then seemed to completely forget that he had ever entered this apartment building. He looked up at the building and said, "They are all duplex apartments; the rent must not be cheap, right?"
Xu Huicheng actually does not remember Zhong Ding's appearance very well, the only thing she can recall is his strange eyes. However, she remembers the outline of Mr. Warm's face. In her life, the number of people who have treated her kindly is few, so the care that Mr. Warm showed her that night is deeply etched in her heart
Her first reaction was to flee, but she did not have time to act before the man's profile turned towards her
Xu Huicheng has never been there, but she has heard from several friends that out-of-season designer brands are relatively inexpensive in Zhalangou
Xu Huicheng smiled and said, "Maybe there will be an opportunity to see it in the future." She still hesitated to spend a large sum of money to purchase luxury brands.
Xu Huicheng stood downstairs, watching as the car turned the corner and disappeared from sight
Due to this income, Mommy exceptionally granted Xu Huicheng a sick leave and also reminded her to rest well Of course, that was all there was to it; she did not want to inquire about how Xu Huicheng had spent the past three days
She self-deprecatingly thought: Such a good man can only be matched with a pure girl
Previously, there was a shopping mall there, the location was decent, yet the business was not thriving, with very few customers.
Kang Xin smiled slightly, then started to walk towards a certain private room. After taking a few steps, she remembered something and turned back to ask, "Have you been to Zhalanggou?"
Xu Huicheng was taken aback for a moment, feeling that this name was familiar
It turned out that he did not remember her. Xu Huicheng tightened her bag and smiled, "I do not live in this area."
She was taken aback
Kang Xin assessed Xu Huicheng's attire, took a few steps closer, and whispered, "You have achieved good results, so in the future, Mommy will introduce you to more wealthy individuals. It would be wise to buy a few genuine brand items for any unforeseen needs."
She was well aware of her own identity, and thus still did not dare to approach. Just as she was about to head home, she suddenly caught sight of a man next to him making a furtive movement
Two years ago, a wealthy second-generation heir rented the top floor to showcase his collection, which attracted a group of like-minded individuals eager to flaunt their wealth. Gradually, it transformed into a luxurious venue, thereby boosting consumption in the shopping mall. The sign that the heir put up was "Zhalangou." Later, he lost interest in displaying his collection and began renting out exhibition spaces, allowing various alternative collections to shine brightly there
This two hundred thousand cannot be monopolized by Xu Huicheng, as the club will take a commission from it
In a moment of impulsiveness, she pointed and shouted, "There is a thief!"
Kang Xin was momentarily taken aback by the question, "If luck is on our side, we might come across a 50% discount. A few of us often go treasure hunting for items.
Xu Huicheng is not particularly enthusiastic about luxury brands. Firstly, most of her clientele consists of ordinary people; if she were to wear luxury brands, others might perceive her prices as being very high. Secondly, she believes that in this line of work, whatever she wears will eventually be taken off. Therefore, whenever she has a need, she occasionally buys high-quality replicas from familiar small shops, as those who are not knowledgeable in the field would not be able to distinguish them.
Xu Huicheng watched the students coming and going, feeling a sense of envy in her heart. She thought about how, at their age, she had already endured many hardships.
His gaze swept across her face, and with a relaxed expression, he said, "Your silhouette resembles someone I know from a picture book."
Mommy laughed heartily, "Mr. Qiao is quite satisfied with you and even said he would like to play with you again next time"
Xu Huicheng's heart surged instantly. Apart from Kang Xin, everyone here only saw that she had made a large sum of money. She nodded, then shook her head, saying, "It's nothing now."
After getting out of the taxi, Xu Huicheng did not want him to take her to the apartment building
He does not remember her, which is for the best. At least he does not know that she is a worker in a special profession
She nodded and said, "You too, goodbye." After saying that, she walked towards the bus stop
She shook her head and said, "I do not go over there at all"
He glanced at the streetlight again and asked, "Where do you live?"
Mr. Warm is gazing towards the school gate
Xu Huicheng, for some reason, automatically stepped forward. When she got closer, she hesitated and stopped. She had no relationship with him, and she could not muster the courage to greet him
She stood a few steps away from him, gazing at his profile, lost in thought
Xu Huicheng has two bank accounts. She originally intended to discuss with Qiao Ling, asking him to transfer the money to her private account, thus allowing her to bypass the club's share. However, she ultimately did not muster the courage. She was afraid of being exposed by Qiao Ling.
Mr. Wen warmly smiled upon seeing her reaction and said, "It's nothing, I will take you home"
Finally, the club took a thirty percent cut
Xu Huicheng did not know what to do, she just followed him slowly. Her gaze fell on his back, and at that moment, she felt that she might occasionally be a little lucky.
"You're welcome..." she replied softly
Xu Huicheng left the club, initially intending to return home to escape the cold. However, upon realizing that there were no ingredients left at home, she took a bus to the supermarket. Before reaching that stop, she changed her mind, got off midway, and entered the food street
Xu Huicheng felt a tightening in her heart, as she realized that she had just acted recklessly
Even so, she enjoyed that brief moment of self-deception
That night, when Xu Huicheng saw Zhong Dingshi, she felt that he bore a resemblance to Mr. Wen Nuan. Now she has also discovered that their silhouettes are quite similar.
She sipped through the straw as she walked towards the university entrance. Sometimes she would go there to stroll, as if walking on campus made her feel less dirty. However, upon returning to reality, she remained a fringe worker in a sea of thousands.
She has never been in a romantic relationship, and of course, she is completely unqualified for love
When she saw Xu Huicheng again, her eyes squinted with laughter. "Camellia, you are truly impressive, a daily salary of 60,000."
She finally closed her eyes briefly and turned to walk into the campus
She sat in the chair, surveying the scene. Upon seeing those solitary men, she felt little enthusiasm. Having completed this month's tasks, she suddenly thought it might be best to just rest from now on. Moreover, having just recovered from a serious illness, it was not suitable for her to be disturbed.
She recalled that he had mentioned his heartbreak last time, and thus she associated it with the possibility that he was waiting for his girlfriend
Xu Huicheng was taken aback. "What happened?"
Who would have thought that by doing this, the fence ditch would become even more prosperous
Xu Huicheng walked through the corridor and entered the bar area
Her other account, once there is a change in the balance, will be fully known to the club, so she cannot hide this sum of money.
Xu Huicheng's expression remained unchanged, yet in her heart, she hoped that this pervert could forget her
Mr. Wen Nuan did not notice her presence. It should be said that his attention was focused on the school gate.
Xu Huicheng remembered
One day, a woman, due to financial issues at home, rented a booth there to sell her idle items such as bags and shoes
She spent about thirty minutes browsing inside. Meanwhile, he did not know how long he had waited before she went in
Kang Xin explained, "It is over there by Bonan Road"
Xu Huicheng walked to the school gate and saw a man standing under a streetlight not far away, with his back to her
A girl should sometimes prioritize self-preservation
She looked up at him in surprise. "Thank you." In fact, she panicked after shouting, fearing retaliation from the theft gang, but she did not expect him to bring it up voluntarily
This fence ditch has a very vulgar name, yet it is currently a thriving place
Mr. Wen warmly glanced in the direction the thief had departed, and then walked towards Xu Huicheng, with kindness and sincerity, "Thank you"
Xu Huicheng hurriedly walked most of the way around the school before coming out. She was unsure of what exactly she was worried about. As she approached the school gate, she quickened her pace and, upon exiting, looked towards the streetlight.
She stood up and walked towards the main door, just as a sister from the group saw her. She then casually said, "I am going out for a stroll."
Once this thought emerged, she truly became lethargic
He accompanied her all the way back, but the two of them spoke very little. He was not talkative, nor was she.
Mr. Wen Nuan is surprisingly still here. He stood there, his gaze meeting hers before shifting away
I will see you off," he glanced sideways and approached her, "they are still here
The little thief glared at her angrily, quickly darted into the crowd, and disappeared in the blink of an eye
