Monkey King in Marvel

Chapter 12 "Ask for Salary"

With the kids out of school on Saturdays, it seemed that Bessie, the stay-at-home mom, could finally relax.

However, the fact is that Bessie is busiest on weekends.

Justin, as usual, drove out early in the morning without even having breakfast. He didn't know whether to hang out with customers or go straight to it. Anyway, Bessie didn't expect him to take care of the children in this family. .

So early in the morning, Bessie got up, made breakfast, drove John and Amanda out of bed when it was almost time, and drove them to have their hair cut after they washed up and had breakfast.After the hair was cut, one was sent to learn dancing and the other to learn swimming.Leaving John and Amanda behind, I went to the dry cleaner to get my clothes, gas for my car, fertilizer for my garden, and food for the next week.

After finishing all this work, it was already past noon, so I rushed to pick up John and Amanda, had lunch, and then sent them to participate in club activities. John’s was bowling, and Amanda’s was rock climbing.

In the evening, not long after returning home, Bessie had to set off again after preparing the ingredients for dinner, to fetch the two "monkeys" back.

As for Sun Wukong, when John and Amanda just got up, he had already finished the morning training class, had breakfast and was ready to go out.

"Jeremy, don't stay outside for too long, pay attention to safety, and come back early." Bessie already knew Monkey King's plan today, and told him when he went out.

"Okay, I see." Monkey King waved his hand after speaking, and left the house.

He also has a lot of things to do today, so he needs to go out early.

First of all, it is about the mobile phone. The original mobile phone has been completely broken, and he needs to replace it or buy a new one.

Jeremy is using a contract phone from AT&T, and the contract period for the personal package is still one year. If you consider buying another mobile phone, you need to pay more than 200 liquidated damages. It is better to change the mobile phone without changing the card.In the case of changing the mobile phone without changing the card, during the contract period, as long as you go to the service provider of AT&T to spend tens of dollars in handling fees, you can use the broken mobile phone to replace it with a new one, but the new mobile phone may Will be slightly worse in performance than the bad one.

At this time, Sun Wukong had 365 dollars in his pocket, which was saved by Jeremy's wages from part-time jobs and his usual pocket money.For John or Amanda, this is definitely a "huge sum of money", because the two of them can't save money.Once the pocket money is received every week, it will be spent the next day, and it will not be left until the third day at most.

But in Sun Wukong's view, the money is really too little.According to the price of a piece of old mahogany that I asked on the forum yesterday, the price is more than one thousand dollars, which is not enough to buy a small piece of wood.

After going out, he went straight to the cell phone service provider, paid a handling fee of thirty dollars, and after handing in the broken cell phone, he replaced it with a "new" cell phone.The appearance is not as beautiful as before, but Monkey King doesn't care, as long as it can be used.

After switching to the "new" mobile phone, he took the bus for about 15 minutes to the block where the Chinese restaurant where he worked part-time was located.

"Sun Wukong?"

Sun Wukong had just walked to the door of the Chinese restaurant named "Fuzhou Original Flavor Restaurant". Before he could open the door and enter, he heard a familiar greeting. He turned around and saw that it was indeed his former "colleague" Lin Wenluo.Here, only Lin Wenluo, who is still stuttering in English, would call him by his Chinese name, not Jeremy.

"It really is you, and I was worried that I was wrong." Lin Wenluo showed a surprised expression when he saw Monkey King, "Yes, now you see that not only your spirit has improved a lot, but your physique has also become stronger. I can't think of it in a month. If you don’t see it, it’s amazing.”

"Recently, I have been exercising a lot." Sun Wukong nodded. Lin Wenluo had a good relationship with his predecessor, Jeremy. Once, "Zhou Bapi" wanted to bully the young and frail Jeremy because he was the boss. At the beginning, although the two of them inevitably suffered losses in the end, Monkey King still accepted his love, so he took the initiative to greet him, "Did you just come back, how are you doing recently, how are you?"

"With that here, it's not what it used to be. It can't last, and it can't starve to death. It's just living half-dead." Lin Wenluo pouted inward, quite helplessly.

"9527, I didn't hire you to stand at the door and be the 'Miss Welcome'!" The owner of the Chinese restaurant is surnamed Zhou and nicknamed "Zhou Papi". The job number is usually called the employee's job number, not the name.

Lin Wenluo's job number was 9527, a number that seemed familiar to Jeremy's memory.

"I heard that, and I'm urging again. He treats us like a 'perpetual motion machine', and there is no need to stop and rest." Lin Wenluo sighed, and said, "Let's go in, do you want something to eat?"

Sun Wukong shook his head and said no, eating out, with his appetite, a meal would cost a lot.With his meager savings, if he let go to eat, it would be half a meal.

"I guess you don't plan to work here anymore, so go find him to get the fruit of your labor, and see you later." After Lin Wenluo said this, he carried a large basket full of ingredients and walked towards the kitchen go.

When Sun Wukong was talking to Lin Wenluo, Sun Wukong's former boss, "Zhou Papi" had already noticed him.Sun Wukong's changes were naturally noticed by him, and he was secretly amazed: How could a person undergo such a big change in such a short period of time?

"Zhou Bapi" is obviously over-nourished, and his tall stature is even more fat and fat, and his appearance is also a bit fierce. To put it a bit harshly, his eyebrows are murderous and his eyes are fierce. From a distance, it looks a bit Like the pig demon in Yunzhan Cave who lost his temper and wanted to do evil.

But Sun Wukong is the kind of person who provokes him, even the Jade Emperor will be beaten, even the real pig monster is not in his eyes, let alone just a fat, tall and vicious mortal.

"Boss Zhou, I'm here to collect my salary." Sun Wukong believes that even if the things that belong to him are insignificant, they must be fought for.Otherwise, others will think that you are easy to bully, so you can make an inch of it.Besides, he needs money now.

"9896, do you know that you have been absent from work for a whole month, do you still have a sense of responsibility?" "Zhou Bapi" obviously wanted to take away Jeremy's salary, and he sternly said it to Monkey King Come to an official, trying to make him retreat because of shame and embarrassment.

Sun Wukong ignored what "Zhou Papi" said, but said in a very light tone: "I remember it was 189 dollars."

In fact, Sun Wukong didn't intend to miss work. Although he has all of Jeremy's memories, he can't remember everything in his heart for a while.Little things like part-time weekend jobs don't get his attention at all.

Of course, even if you knew about such a part-time job at the beginning, you might not care about it.

Sun Wukong's downplaying attitude made "Zhou Bapi" very annoyed. The previous Jeremy was not like this. He was always on call and dared not speak loudly to himself.But although "Zhou Papi" was very annoyed, just as he raised his head, he immediately felt two gazes from Sun Wukong, which were like sharp arrows shot from the divine bow of Epiros, so sharp that they pierced the bottom of his heart. When his breath was suffocated, Heartbeat almost stopped.

Clutching his chest, "Zhou Papi" gasped, then trembled involuntarily: How could a person's gaze be so terrifying, compared to a long time ago when he broke into a restaurant and stared at him with a Remington shotgun? The eyes of the robber who roared at his forehead were much more terrifying.

For such a mortal, Monkey King should have "raised his hands high", but after he learned of the bleak reality of Jeremy's part-time job at the time, he decided to scare him with the awe-inspiring power of being a sage and looking down on the world. The predecessors let out a sigh of relief.

I have to say that this scare effect is very good.

I saw the very timid "Zhou Bapi", with trembling hands, held out 189 US dollars, and put it in Monkey King's hand respectfully.

After receiving his "own" salary, Sun Wukong, who turned his head and gave him a cold look, was about to leave.

"Is it done?" Lin Wenluo turned out from the kitchen, carrying a blue food delivery basket in each hand, and was about to go out when he saw Monkey King coming out, blinked, and asked silently.

Seeing this, Monkey King made an ok gesture with his right hand.As Jeremy's memory merged, he became more and more accustomed to using the "earth language".

"Be careful when you're delivering the food." I was so frightened just now, and paid Sun Wukong $189 with heartache, "Zhou Bapi", who was pretending to calculate the account with his head down at the cashier, saw Lin Wenluo go out with a take-out basket , plucked up the courage to say something out loud.

"In broad daylight, where are there so many thieves and robbers?" Lin Wenluo didn't care about "Zhou Papi".

He has heard a lot about the cases of Chinese food delivery staff in takeaway shops who were attacked while delivering food and robbed of cash and belongings. He even heard of robbers pretending to call for takeaway, The diners will deliver the food to their designated location.Then, these people ambush near the location they set, waiting for an opportunity to rob the food delivery person who fell into the trap.

It's just that the robbery cases he heard happened at night, and most of the places were in Brooklyn and the Bronx.Even if it happened in Queens, it was over there in Jamaica.

And this is the Flushing community, and the security has always been relatively good.Especially after an extremely bad rape and murder incident occurred in the Flushing community a few years ago, the law and order in the Flushing community has been highly valued, and it has improved significantly, becoming the best law and order in New York State except Manhattan. Region.

His food delivery location did not cross the community this time, and it was daytime, so he thought the warning of "Zhou Papi" was purely groundless.

"Anyway, be careful, the food delivery place is not as safe as here." "Zhou Papi" was a little annoyed by Lin Wenluo's attitude, but seeing that Monkey King hadn't left yet, he didn't dare to deliver the food, so he had to patiently tell him, "Recently The economic situation in China is not good, and many of those niggers who are lazy and idle want to do business without money. Don’t wait until that time, even your motorcycle will be robbed.”

"Don't worry, it's not the first time, I know how to do it. And, if there is any danger, I will call Jeremy's cell phone and ask him to come and rescue me." Lin Wenluo patted his waist and was ready. Smiling, he said nonchalantly, "Jeremy, you know I can't call the police, so you should help?"

"This is no problem." Sun Wukong shook the phone in his hand, "The phone number remains the same, but I believe you won't need it."

"Sure, I've been unlucky for so long, so it should be Jitai." After Lin Wenluo finished speaking, he waved his hand, rode on the motorcycle he had just bought, and drove off with a takeaway basket.

After "paying the salary" and saying goodbye to his former colleagues, Monkey King got on the subway to Lower Manhattan.
