Chapter 37

Zheng Xiaotian returned to Lin Ziyuan's side.

"What are you looking at me for?" Zheng Xiaotian tilted his head and asked.

"Um, nothing, nothing." Lin Ziyuan waved her hands. She had just watched Zheng Xiaotian hit someone, and as she watched, she became completely engrossed. Her ex-boyfriend used to hit people in front of her. Back then, she did indeed like violence. After her boyfriend disappeared, she no longer liked violence. However, when a shadow overlapped with her ex-boyfriend, it still touched her heart.

"Shall we go?" Zheng Xiaotian said.

"Okay, let's go!" Lin Ziyuan stood up. She deeply understood the principle that it was not wise to stay in one place for too long. Especially after Zheng Xiaotian had taken action, it was even less wise to stay. It was better to leave early and get out of trouble.

Zheng Xiaotian dropped Lin Ziyuan off at the villa complex by the river. He looked at the villas standing one by one and felt a sense of emotion. If one of these houses were mine, I would have won. No, what would it matter if it were mine? A year later, under the attack of aliens, the Earth suffered widespread devastation. Even if the surface buildings did not turn to ashes, they would be in ruins. At that time, people would compare the size of their underground shelters. Before the apocalypse, the rich bought underground shelters.

However, Zheng Xiaotian, a nobody, was destined not to buy a house. What was their fate? Lottery. Yes, that's it. The country had a system for the lottery, and if you were lucky enough to be chosen, you could enter a collective air-raid shelter. Ninety-nine percent of the people were destined not to be chosen and were destined to die. He was not in that one percent but in that ninety-nine percent.

Thinking of the cold reality a year later, Zheng Xiaotian shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ziyuan, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Zheng Xiaotian with her big eyes.

"Nothing." Zheng Xiaotian smiled politely.

"You can take the car. You must drive to my house before nine o'clock tomorrow morning. From now on, your work hours will be from nine o'clock every day, and the car and fuel expenses are on me. So, don't give me any excuses for being late. Also, you get one day off per month, and you can choose which day. This benefit is amazing, right?" Lin Ziyuan said.

Zheng Xiaotian thought to himself that having only one day off per month was not much of a benefit.

"Right, I almost forgot." Lin Ziyuan, who had already taken a few steps, turned back. She took out a red envelope from her handbag and handed it to Zheng Xiaotian, saying, "This is your bonus."

"Ah?" Zheng Xiaotian was truly confused. He hadn't even worked a full day, and he already had a bonus? The company's benefits were really amazing.

"Work hard for me in the future. As long as you put in the effort, I'll see it, and the bonus will be given immediately, not accumulated until the end of the month. So, you might receive a bonus every day, starting from a thousand, with no upper limit." Lin Ziyuan waved at Zheng Xiaotian and said, "I'm really leaving now. Remember not to be late tomorrow."

"Goodbye, boss. Don't worry, boss." Zheng Xiaotian said.

Zheng Xiaotian didn't need to look to know that the envelope contained ten thousand. He took out his phone and searched how much the bonus would be for collecting five million in debt.

They said that the bonus for collecting five million in debt should be between fifty thousand and two hundred and fifty thousand, or even more. Because it could start from ten percent and go up to eighty or ninety percent.

Fifty thousand and ten thousand, a fifty-fold difference. Zheng Xiaotian didn't care much, but the amazing benefit in his mind was instantly shattered. The young lady was just a stingy person.

Zheng Xiaotian drove the BMW back to the neighborhood. As soon as he entered the neighborhood, he saw a woman walking ahead.

Beep.

"What's the matter? Do you think you're something special just because you're driving a BMW? You scared the hell out of me, you know?" Su Jiaoya turned around and shouted at the BMW car very aggressively.

In Su Jiaoya's mind, there was never a concept of who could or could not offend. She was straightforward and had no ulterior motives. When she was unhappy, she expressed it directly, and when she was happy, it showed on her face. So, she was definitely not the type to gamble; she would surely lose.

"It's me, sis!" Zheng Xiaotian rolled down the window and stuck his head out. He had no doubt that if he didn't speak up, the other person would keep cursing without changing a word.

"Ha, you're just scaring your sister for fun, right?" Su Jiaoya's face was dark as she walked over to the window.

Zheng Xiaotian could tell that she was about to pinch his ear. In the past, he had no trump card. But now, he did. He took the item from the passenger seat and, as her hand reached out, he suddenly handed it to her.

"What is this?" Su Jiaoya suspiciously took the red envelope. Holding it, she felt it looked very festive. As for what it was, she opened it and was a bit stunned.

"Sis, this is my living expenses for a long time. You keep it first!" Zheng Xiaotian said.

"Do you have any more on you?" Su Jiaoya looked into Zheng Xiaotian's eyes.

Zheng Xiaotian shook his head speechlessly. He thought to himself, I've already given you all the money, and you're still thinking about what I have on me? I only have two yuan on me.

Su Jiaoya took out a thousand yuan from the red envelope and handed it to Zheng Xiaotian, saying, "Take it. It's not good for a man to have no money. I'll keep the rest for you. No matter what you think, if you need anything, just tell your sister. And actions like borrowing a car, I'll advise you, even if you have money, don't be so flashy; it's meaningless."

"This is my boss's car, okay." Zheng Xiaotian said speechlessly.

"You found a job?" Su Jiaoya was surprised.

Zheng Xiaotian put the thousand yuan into his pocket without hesitation and said, "Yeah, I'm a bodyguard for someone. The ten thousand is a bonus."

"Is it a bonus or interest from a high-interest loan? I've never heard of a bodyguard getting so much for one day. Could it be that you spent the day with a fat woman, and this is the money for being a gigolo?" Su Jiaoya said.

At this moment, Zheng Xiaotian really wanted to drive the car into a wall. Chatting with her was so depressing. It was almost driving him crazy. How could she be like this? It was so annoying.

The whole way home, they chatted, and he was speechless the whole time.
