Quick Wear: But I just want to be a little transparent

Chapter 37 The Thief's Professionalism 4

Song Xun placed his umbrella on the rack at the door, looked at the proprietress and explained, "It rained too hard today."

The woman, who was about 40 years old, had eye-catching wool curls that exposed her ears and wore a bright red apron. She was not easy to talk to: "You will be fined if you are late for the knife."

Song Xun hesitated to speak, and quietly defended his salary: "But I only have two hundred left this month, and if I deduct any more, it will be gone."

The shop was privately owned, did not require an ID card, and paid wages in cash. It was the only suitable shop Songxun could find at the time.

However, his monthly salary was only one thousand yuan, and after deducting the five hundred yuan deducted for his meals in the store, he only got half of it. Moreover, the boss lady of this store liked to deduct his salary, and there were always countless reasons every day.

Song Xun was a little worried whether he would get a share of the salary when it was paid at the end of the month.

The proprietress took out a notebook from the drawer, flipped through two pages and found that there was really not much left. She closed the notebook and coughed twice.

"Then deduct ten dollars."

Despite this, Song Xun was still a little depressed. He stared at the rain outside the door. He hated rainy days.

The store is busiest at noon and in the evening. Song Xun is responsible for washing vegetables, passing plates, washing dishes, mopping the floor and cleaning tables. The proprietress originally wanted to develop his cooking skills, but the situation was so terrible that she couldn't bear to look at it, so she gave up regretfully in the end.

Song Xun was busy washing the dishes when he felt something sharp poking his back. Turning around, he saw a boy of about twelve or thirteen, with his eyebrows raised in displeasure and waving a twig he had picked up from outside.

The voice was arrogant and domineering: "Play marbles with me."

Zhou Wan is the son of the boss lady. He is like a bully in the store and even his own mother cannot control him.

Song Xun squeezed a pump of dishwashing liquid: "I need to work."

"No, you have to play with me!" Zhou Wan got angry, and his voice was about to blow the roof off.

The boss lady's voice came from the kitchen: "Zhou Wan, go play by yourself, don't bother your brother Xiaoqi to work."

She was certainly not defending Song Xun, she simply didn't want to waste labor.

But Zhou Wan refused and threw the branch to the ground: "No, I want him to play with me!"

The boss lady coaxed him, "Be good and play in the afternoon when no one is around. Mom will buy you popsicles later."

Zhou Wan finally calmed down when he heard there was food to eat.

He waited patiently until there was no one around in the afternoon, found Song Xun with the marbles, drew a circle on the ground, and excitedly explained the rules of the game.

"We have to attack each other, and any marbles that are out of the circle will be handed over to the enemy."

The fat boy was ambitious. After losing three times in a row, his face became wrinkled and he finally started to cheat.

Song Xun gave in the first time without any emotion.

The second time, he frowned seriously.

The third time, I quit.

"How can you cheat? This is not good."

Zhou Wan ignored him and continued to withdraw his marbles: "I just made a mistake, what's wrong with you letting the kid go?"

Song Xun said seriously: "No."

Zhou Wan angrily collected all the marbles on the ground and said, "What's wrong with me cheating?"

"I don't want to play with you anymore." Song Xun stood up from the ground.

Seeing that he was really leaving, Zhou Wan quickly grabbed him and said angrily: "If you don't play with me, I will ask my mother to fire you."

"Then open it." Song Xun was also angry. He was deducted another ten yuan for washing dishes slowly at noon. He felt aggrieved and said, "I don't want to do it anyway."

Song Xun, who had just arrived in this world, took several days to adapt and accept the fact that he was penniless. He originally thought that he could leave after completing the mission, but after yesterday's failure, he still had to stay here. However, he didn't want to sleep under the bridge at all.

After the subtle influence of the previous life, Song Xun has become a little bit spoiled.

When I think about how long I have to stay here, and the fact that my salary has been deducted twice in a row, I can’t control my emotions.

Hearing this, the lady boss stopped eating sunflower seeds, stood up suddenly and shouted at Zhou Wan: "Have you finished your homework? You just play all day long. If you act naughty again, I will call you Brother to take care of you."

I finally found someone who is easy to cheat and has a low salary, I can't waste it.

Zhou Wan, who was fearless, actually calmed down after hearing the next sentence, like a mouse seeing a cat.

Song Xun was also stunned. He was very sensitive to the name of his mission target and immediately connected it with Zhang Weisheng.

He asked Zhou Wan, "Who is Brother Sheng?"

Confused by his sudden change of mood, Zhou Wan still said, "My previous tutor."

Song Xun couldn't wait any longer: "What's his name?"

"Zhang Weisheng." Although Zhou Wan looked fearful, his eyes were filled with admiration that could not be concealed. "Brother Sheng is amazing. I used to be at the bottom of the class, but I got fifth place in the midterm exam."

After a dark period, there is a bright future.

Song Xun was worrying about how to get close to Zhang Weisheng again. He looked at Zhou Wan expectantly, "When will Zhang Weisheng come to give you extra lessons?"

Zhou Wan curled his lips and said, "My grades are so good now, do I still need extra lessons? My mother stopped me a long time ago."

Yes, in the eyes of the boss lady, nothing is more important than money. Seeing that Zhou Wan’s grades have improved, she naturally doesn’t want to spend money to hire a teacher.

But Song Xun still felt something was wrong. Zhou Wan was either playing or making noises every day and he never studied at all. Even if his grades had improved with extra lessons before, it would be difficult to ensure his grades would continue to improve with his self-discipline.

At the critical moment, his mind seemed to become sharp as if it had been enlightened. He thought of the monthly exam that the boss's wife had mentioned some time ago, and then thought of Zhou Wan's behavior of hiding papers similar to test papers in his schoolbag yesterday.

Song Xun asked tentatively, "If your grades are good, why are your monthly exam results so bad?"

Zhou Wan's eyes widened immediately, he glanced at the proprietress guiltily, and whispered, "You know?"

Song Xun nodded, and when he realized that he had guessed correctly, he became delighted. As long as he let the boss's wife know that Zhou Wan's grades had dropped, Zhang Weisheng might be invited again.

The boss’s wife and her family live on the second floor of the store. When Zhang Weisheng comes in and out, the task will be easy.

Song Xun instantly became patient and said to Zhou Wan in a gentle voice: "Do you still want to play? I will continue to accompany you."

Zhou Wan waved his hands quickly. His mother had always attached great importance to academic performance. Now his weak spot was in Song Xun's hand, so he would never dare to act rashly again.

"I was wrong, please don't tell my mother."

Song Xun nodded hypocritically and silently said sorry, it might not work.

For the sake of that all-important paper, Song Xun searched almost every corner of the store, and took the opportunity to look around when he went upstairs to get the goods. Perhaps Zhou Wan was on guard, and he could not find any trace of the paper.

Just when Songxun was concentrating on finding the test paper, something big happened.

Song Xun's nest was destroyed.
