The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing

To be successful? To have enough food and clothing?

Of course he thought about it, even in his dreams.

Every word Qin Ruo said made Qingsheng's blood boil.

But what can he do?

I can hardly protect myself now, so how can I have the chance to stand out?

Qingsheng looked at his broken leg and smiled bitterly.

"Miss Qin, please stop teasing me. I have nothing and it's hard for me to even have enough food and clothing. How can I expect to stand out from the crowd?"

Qin Ruo looked at Qingsheng's eyes full of self-mockery and helplessness, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

She knew that there were countless "birthday celebrations" in this world, and she was overwhelmed by fate and wanted to resist but was powerless.

She is not a savior and cannot save everyone.

But she was attracted by his sincerity and loyalty.

When we first met, he came over to remind me to find another way out, which was a kindness.

It is righteousness to use one's own meager money to take care of a few beggars who are weaker and more helpless than oneself, and even to protect them at the cost of one's own life.

Qin Ruo did not answer him immediately, but took out a silver ingot from her sleeve and handed it to Qingsheng.

"It's no use living in this temple. It's getting colder these days. Take this silver and ask the doctor at the clinic to treat your leg. For the rest, rent another house. It's not a good idea to stay in this temple all the time..."

Qingsheng didn't dare to reach out to take the silver, and a hint of shock and confusion flashed in his eyes.

"Miss Qin, you can't do this! You haven't had a hard time. You can't accept it without any merit. How can I take your money..."

Qingsheng's voice was a little trembling. He didn't know what Qin Ruo's purpose was.

He looked at Qin Ruo, as if trying to find out something from her face.

Since the last time, Qingsheng has never seen Qin Ruo again.

Although she was now dressed much better than last time, Qingsheng knew how difficult it was to be a hunter and that one could lose one's life if one was not careful.

Qingsheng knew a little about Qin Huaizheng's affairs. He was also an orphan, so he felt a sense of sympathy for the original owner.

"This money is not given to you for free, it is a loan. I just bought the Fu Man Lou where you used to work. If you are willing, you can go to the restaurant to help out after you get better. This money will be deducted from your monthly salary."

Qin Ruo interrupted the birthday celebration in a calm voice.

"Ms. Qin... Miss Qin, you said you bought Fumanlou? Did you buy it from Manager Li? Miss Qin, you are too impulsive. Do you know that Manager Zhang and his gang are not easy to deal with?"

When Qingsheng heard that Qin Ruo had ordered a restaurant order, he broke out in a cold sweat.

His focus was entirely on Qin Ruo's acquisition of Fu Manlou.

"He's just Zhang the boss, nothing to be afraid of. But tell me, what happened to your leg?"

Seeing Qin Ruo's calm expression, Qingsheng suddenly calmed down.

Since Qin Ruo dared to buy Fumanlou and found me here, how could she be ignorant of these things? I am just worried and confused.

Looking at his broken leg, Qingsheng clenched his fists unconsciously in his sleeves.

Then, a trace of embarrassment and anger appeared on his face.

"Miss Qin should have heard something about me before she came. My leg was indeed injured because of Zhang."

"I was stupid and fell into his trap..."

Qin Ruo nodded and motioned for Qingsheng to continue.

"Ever since Manager Zhang came, he has been arbitrarily deducting money from the employees of Fu Man Lou, and he has also been beating and scolding us employees. Later, many employees left, and I had no choice but to leave."

As Qingsheng was talking, he changed the topic and pointed at Hu Zi and a few others who were weaving straw sandals at the door, with a smile on his face.

"I used to be a beggar, so I know what it's like to have no food to eat. Huzi was the first brother I picked up. The third and fourth brothers followed me last year. Although they are young, they are very sensible..."

Qingsheng sighed and continued.

"Although the manager is harsh, working in Fu Man Lou at least gives us one or two taels of silver a month. If we use it frugally, it's enough for us brothers to barely get by. If I don't care about them, they will really have nowhere to go."

"But ten days ago, the original owner of Fu Man Lou quit and sold the restaurant. Manager Zhang asked me to stay for a few days to do the finishing work and promised to pay me an extra 100 coins."

"But on that day, Manager Zhang claimed that I had stolen the restaurant's property, and not only did he not give me my monthly salary, he also forced me to sign an IOU for fifty taels..."

When he said this, Qingsheng's eyes were filled with hatred and his chest heaved violently.

"I was so angry that I argued with Zhang, but he sent someone to break my legs. He also threatened that if I couldn't pay the fifty taels of silver within half a month, he would use my third and fourth brothers to pay off the debt."

"Later, I found out that Zhang the Master was a homosexual... He had set up a trap for me because he had taken a fancy to my third and fourth brothers."

Qingsheng couldn't say the word "Longyang's good" to Qin Ruo, for fear of polluting Qin Ruo's ears.

"My third and fourth brothers are only seven years old. Those beasts are not human beings!"

When Qingsheng said this, his eyes were filled with tears and his voice was choked with sobs.

After hearing this, Qin Ruo already understood a little.

I originally thought that Manager Zhang was just greedy for money, but I didn't expect that he was also a lustful person who even did not spare underage children. He is worse than a beast!

A hint of coldness flashed across Qin Ruo's eyes. She always despised those who bullied the weak and did all kinds of evil.

She patted Qingsheng's shoulder gently to comfort him.

"Do you believe me? Do you want to see Zhang and his gang pay the price they deserve?"

Qin Ruo's voice was very soft, but to Qingsheng's ears it was like drinking a dose of reassurance.

Qingsheng suddenly raised his head, as if he had made an important decision.

"Miss Qin, I don't know why you want to help me. But as long as you can protect my brothers, I will do it for you."

Qin Ruo suddenly laughed.

"Why do I want your life? Don't blame me for being harsh. Your life is worthless. You can only be valuable if you are alive. Follow me, and I will protect you and your brother."

"But I have one condition. You need to sign a contract with me. It will be for ten years. At the end of the term, it is up to you whether you want to continue working for me or find another job. I will never treat you unfairly."

"I only ask for one thing: loyalty! Absolute loyalty!"

Qin Ruo stared at Qingsheng and said calmly.

She didn't consider herself a savior. Although celebrating birthdays was pitiful, she didn't support useless people.

"Miss Qin, I believe you! I agree to your conditions!"

Qingsheng agreed without hesitation.

Qin Ruo was willing to protect his brother, and he would be willing to sacrifice his life to repay this favor.

What's more, he was willing to sign a ten-year contract to sell himself.

When Qin Ruo left the land temple, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

The first snow fell after she traveled to the Dasheng Dynasty.

Qin Ruo didn't know that the Qin family in Changhe Village was shrouded in sorrow and was in chaos.
