Young Again

Chapter 29 Mr. Chen is Mr. Chen

Does she think I have ulterior motives?

Faced with Shen Youyou's question, Chen Wang fell into deep thought.

But he soon calmed himself down.

I have ulterior motives.

Mr. You, you are really good at judging people.

"I can go either way." Chen Wang said calmly without blushing or getting nervous.

Indeed, this is also possible.

However, if Shen Youyou faced this situation, she would choose to change direction. After all, it would be very embarrassing for two strangers to walk on this road together.

Although I am not a complete stranger to him, and it is not awkward when we are together, but...

It's always inappropriate.

"Oh, that's how it is."

So, the two of them walked together towards the small factory where Shen Youyou worked.

It was already quite late, around half past ten. Although there were still some people outside, the further we went into the alley, the fewer people there were.

And Chen Wang gradually became uneasy.

It’s not that I’m afraid of being taken advantage of by this girl.

I just feel that it's not a good thing for her to be like this.

"I feel that it's not very safe for you to walk on this road alone at night." Chen Wang suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Shen Youyou looked puzzled, "Why?"

"If you walk alone at night, someone will follow you." Chen Wang said righteously.

"That's true." Shen Youyou nodded, agreeing.

When she went out to work, her mother told her not to walk at night and to be careful.

"So what you mean is that you have been followed by someone?" Chen Wang asked with some resentment.

"..."

Shen Youyou raised her head and looked at Chen Wang beside her. She stared at his face for a long time and then said uncertainly, "I don't know if this counts."

"Call the police if you are being followed."

Chen Wang said seriously.

"..." Shen Youyou's expression gradually became complicated.

Hasn't he realized yet that this person is himself?

"This reminds me of my trip to Yuezhou." Speaking of this, Chen Wang began to recall the past.

Hearing this, Shen Youyou became a little curious, so she looked at him with her bright black eyes.

Then, Chen Wang said, "It was my first month at work. It was a medium-sized factory, and I was paid in cash. I had more than 4,000 yuan in my pocket, and I went to the ATM alone at night to deposit money. I was trembling with fear."

Hearing such a life-like story, Shen Youyou became more and more interested: "Why go at night?"

"Salaries are paid at night. There are six people in my dormitory. How can I dare to keep the money overnight? So I ran out to deposit the money that night."

"Fortunately, our boss transferred the money via Alipay." Shen Youyou said thankfully.

"Your factory is small, and even if you pay the wages over several days it still won't reach the transfer limit. Ours was a factory with more than 50 people, so it was a little different," Chen Wang explained.

However, due to strict tax inspections later on, I was still given a salary card.

“There is also such a thing as a transfer limit…”

Shen Youyou felt that she had learned something new. After all, before this, she had never seen more than ten thousand yuan deposited into her account.

After the interruption, Shen Youyou thought about the previous topic again, so she asked: "What happened next?"

He actually asked me.

This child likes to listen to stories.

Just like that, Chen Wang began to narrate: "On that day, I met a Sanhe God... Wait, do you know what a Sanhe God is?"

"do not know."

Shen Youyou shook her head.

"The Sanhe masters are casual workers who are paid daily. They don't have regular shifts. They earn money for one day, then play for three days. When they run out of money, they look for work again."

"Then they don't have to send money home?" Shen Youyou found it outrageous.

"Why bother calling for money? It's good enough that you don't have to ask your family for money."

"Oh, what happened to 'Sanhe Great God'?"

"This."

Chen Wang thought for a moment and continued, "They all sleep anywhere. When they have money, they sleep in Internet cafes. When they don't, they sleep under bridges or on the side of the road. At that time, there was one who slept outside the ATM. It was okay when I entered the ATM because he was still snoring, but as soon as I deposited the money and opened the glass door, he stood in front of me."

"!" Upon hearing this, Shen Youyou's heart tightened and she was so scared that she held her breath.

"I knew it was wrong at the time, but I was alone and I was afraid he had accomplices, so I told him, 'Brother, it's not easy for you either, I'll give you 200 yuan to get online.'"

Shen Youyou asked tremblingly: "Then, did you give it to him?"

"He agreed, so I reached into my pocket and slowly flipped through the money..." Chen Wang described vividly, "Then when he wasn't paying attention, I hit him in the face with an uppercut, and then followed up with an elbow, knocking him to the ground."

Inventor: Chen Wang.

Invention project: Bee elbow strike.

"And then?"

Shen Youyou asked two questions in a row, which made Chen Wang's heart overflow with joy, so he said: "I just ran away, without looking back, for about ten minutes without stopping, and rushed directly to our dormitory."

"Fortunately."

After learning that everything ended peacefully, Shen Youyou breathed a sigh of relief.

And from her expression, Chen Wang also saw some basic things.

Simple kindness. Because she could relate to the situation, she would still feel distressed even if it was something that had already happened.

And this is also what Chen Wang values in Shen Youyou.

It seemed that being nice to her would comfort the me who had left my hometown alone and suffered so much...

"So what did you do after you got your first paycheck?"

Shen Youyou was very curious whether everyone was buying some delicious food like her.

"Hmm..." Chen Wang thought for a moment and said, "It should be charging for games."

It's foot washing.

"Is that so?" Shen Youyou could still understand. When she was in junior high school, many students in her class liked to play games.

She only knows one, the Fire Qilin.

"Later on, I didn't work in the factory. Instead, I delivered cakes for people." Since she was interested in this topic, Chen Wang talked about everything.

“Why do you want to deliver a cake?”

"It's a lot of money." Chen Wang said directly, "I deliver cakes to KTVs, because some people like to celebrate their little...sisters' birthdays, so they will order cakes on the spot. If I deliver it urgently, I can take 50 yuan for each order. If I do a good job, I can make 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a month."

Don’t think you can’t make money from this, there aren’t many princesses who have birthdays.

Sometimes, a princess could receive seven or eight cakes in a few days.

The big brother who goes to spend money also likes to celebrate people’s birthdays, since he has money anyway.

"So when you deliver the cake, is there anything fun?"

"Let me think about it... Fun things are okay, but there are things that are deeply memorable."

Actually, there were some, but they were all inappropriate for children, so I couldn't tell her. So Chen Wang said, "I just remember that one time when I was delivering a cake, it bumped on the way, and when I got it, the cake was already rotten. Then, the boss came up and kicked me."

"..."

Shen Youyou, who was originally smiling, froze for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "And then?"

"You compensated me five thousand, which is half a month's salary." Chen Wang smiled calmly.

Even after hearing the profitable consequences, Shen Youyou still couldn't smile, and her eyes no longer had the lively look they had just now.

Because she also started working early, she felt that this was a very sad thing...

"Then, that day I scratched his car in a place where there was no surveillance, and all four tires were punctured."

"Puchi." Shen Youyou, who was feeling sad and sour just now, couldn't help laughing all of a sudden, and the gloom just now was swept away.

This girl looks even better when she smiles.

"Are these the things you have experienced?" Shen Youyou asked curiously.

Chen Wang smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes."

In fact, it didn't happen.

But in the long river of time, it exists.

Mr. Chen was not Mr. Chen at the beginning.

"But why do I feel that you are very young?" Shen Youyou said suspiciously, looking at Chen Wang.

"So how old do I look?"

Chen Wang was a little nervous. He had worn a lot of clothes before, but now he looked like a normal night running outfit, which didn't show his age at all.

"I feel like you are only two years older than me, about seventeen." Shen Youyou guessed.

Chen Wang was surprised: "You are only ten..."

Talking about this extremely sensitive topic, Shen Youyou made a 'hush' gesture and quickly added: "I'll be sixteen soon, very soon."

"Oh, I see."

Chen Wang guessed that was the case.

How old can a person who has just graduated from junior high school and has not gone to technical secondary school be?
At that time, it was not so strict. After all, this phenomenon was very common, and so many country children needed a place to go.

But it got a lot better afterwards, really.

"I just look young, but I'm actually in my twenties." Chen Wang added, "Besides, I left school even earlier, in the second year of junior high school."

"Hit the teacher?"

Shen Youyou's stereotype is that people who drop out of school at this age basically beat up their teachers.

"It's easy."

"..."

Shen Youyou was a little surprised. Chen Wang didn't look that violent and was quite gentle, but he would do such a thing.

But it seems that he is very stable now.

As the two of them were walking and talking, they had already arrived downstairs of the small factory where Shen Youyou worked.

Now, he could no longer say that the next route was also convenient.

When Shen Youyou was about to go upstairs and wave goodbye, Chen Wang suddenly said, "Actually, if someone follows you when you walk at night, there is a good way to solve it."

"any solution?"

Shen Youyou raised her head, ready to listen carefully.

"Pretend to make a phone call."

Chen Wang stared at him and took out his cell phone. Before she could speak, he said, "But it would be better if she really called."

I don’t know whether this stupid girl understood such a straightforward hint.

If he doesn't understand, Chen Wang will be very embarrassed.

This worry continued until Shen Youyou slowly lowered her head and whispered:

"You can... add me on QQ."
