Chapter 10

After the three delinquent girls left, Muye walked up to the boy they had brought. The boy looked somewhat frail and was not very tall. Seeing Muye approach, he was so frightened that he started to tremble. Muye looked at him and shook his head, saying, "A man being bullied by three girls, do you have any pride at all?"

Hearing Muye's contemptuous words, the boy seemed to feel very embarrassed, lowered his head, and did not dare to speak. Seeing his reaction, Muye knew that this kid was naturally timid. A few words from him probably wouldn't make much of a difference. He shook his head and still said, "Kid, you need to be braver in the future. Otherwise, you'll keep getting bullied. If you had the courage to punch any of those three girls today, even if you got beaten up, I believe they wouldn't come after you again. But if you don't have the courage, you'll keep getting bullied, whether it's once or for the rest of your life. Think about it!"

After saying this to the boy, Muye didn't bother with him anymore. How much he understood was up to him. After leaving the alley, Muye headed home. When he reached the entrance of the residential complex, he saw Aunt Huang still selling breakfast.

Thinking for a moment, he walked over, took out ten yuan, and bought some food. He then smiled and said, "Aunt Huang, I hope you can keep the matter from earlier a secret and not tell my mom!"

"Xiaoyan, why? The girl earlier was very pretty. Is she your girlfriend?" Aunt Huang asked, somewhat gossipy.

Muye, of course, couldn't admit it. If he did, his mother would want to meet Yao Leilei, and he couldn't exactly bring her over tied up. So he smiled and said, "We used to be, but not anymore!"

"What happened?" Aunt Huang asked, concerned.

"We broke up!" Muye could only say that.

"Oh! Breaking up is for the best. The girl was pretty, but her temper wasn't good. If you married her, your mother, who is gentle, might end up being bullied by her!" Aunt Huang seemed to have some thoughts. After hearing Muye, she started to comfort him in her own way.

Muye smiled and didn't say anything more as he went back home. The residential complex had old seven-story apartment buildings without elevators, and Muye's home was on the third floor of one of them. The apartment had two bedrooms and a living room, but the living room was very small, totaling about sixty square meters. However, it was enough for Muye and his mother, Mufangfang.

Of course, Muye knew that his mother had recently started working hard to earn money. She hoped to save enough to buy a house for her son so he could marry a good wife, which was a common aspiration for many ordinary people. Muye understood that although his mother knew that the old man was not an ordinary person, she had refused all his help after he left her. It wasn't until the incident where Muye killed someone that she first contacted the old man. The old man then brought Muye into the Dark Wolf organization, but his mother didn't know about that. She only knew that the old man had transferred him to a better prison where he could study. Otherwise, if she knew the truth, she would be very worried.

After eating the breakfast he bought from Aunt Huang, Muye took a shower and then fell asleep on the bed. Although he had slept for two or three hours, the events of the day had left him very tired. When he woke up, it was already 3 PM. After sleeping for seven hours, Muye felt completely refreshed. Thinking about his broken phone, he wanted to buy a new one, but when he took out the broken phone, he found that it could be turned on again. It seemed the water had dried up, and the cheap phone wasn't as bad as he thought.

Since the broken phone was working again, Muye decided not to go out to buy a new one. Thinking it was getting late, he decided to buy some vegetables and cook dinner for his mother. Reflecting on the past few months, he realized he had been causing his mother a lot of worry. He felt he should treat her well.

He still had over a hundred yuan in his wallet, which was enough to buy some vegetables, so he went straight to the market. The market was not far, and it was the peak time for buying vegetables. Muye quickly bought a large bag of vegetables based on his mother's preferences.

On his way home, he saw a job placement agency. Thinking about finding a job, he went in to take a look. Inside, there was only a man in his forties chatting on QQ in front of a computer. Muye didn't approach him, so the man didn't greet him. The job placement agency, though only about twenty square meters, had various job listings posted on the walls.

Muye looked through them and found that, given his current situation, there were no jobs he could qualify for. Of course, this didn't mean Muye was incapable. It was just that on the surface, he was a high school dropout and a former convict. Most companies would likely reject him as soon as they saw his resume. This was why Muye had been jobless all along. In fact, his mother had tried to find him a job through connections, but all attempts were rejected.

Just as Muye was about to leave with a sigh, a job posting caught his attention. It wasn't because the posting was special, but because of the company.

Fenghua Group!

Wasn't this Zhang Ge's company? They were hiring, and he was the HR manager. Given his character, if Muye went to him, he would likely take him on.

Although Muye knew that if he asked the old man, the old man would definitely help him, he had refused the old man's help before. Asking now would seem shameless. Although he felt a bit embarrassed about asking Zhang Shuo for help so soon after meeting him, he thought it would make his mother feel better. He decided to owe Zhang Shuo a favor and find a way to repay him later.

With this in mind, Muye didn't hesitate. He quickly found the business card Zhang Shuo had given him and called him with his broken phone.

Soon, Zhang Shuo's familiar voice came through, "Hello!"

"Is this Brother Zhang? It's Muye!"

"Oh, it's Muye. What's up?" Zhang Shuo asked with a smile.

"Brother Zhang, I'm actually troubling you again. I've been looking for a job recently, and I saw your group is hiring an office assistant. I want to give it a try!" Muye said directly.

"Oh! Yes, we are hiring for that position. You can come to our group tomorrow. I'll give the heads a call shortly!" Zhang Shuo didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang!" Muye felt grateful when he heard Zhang Shuo's quick agreement.

"Don't mention it. I'm glad to have a good brother like you in our company. I actually think the office assistant position might be a bit too low for you!" Zhang Shuo said with a smile. In his view, Muye, who had risked everything to save a stranger, was a reliable person. He thought that if Muye had the ability, he would find a better position for him in the future.

Muye didn't know how much trust Zhang Shuo had in him. With a job secured, he thanked Zhang Shuo a few more times and then hung up the phone.
