Guilongchao: I played the domineering CEO to the bone.

In the afternoon, Tong, who had spent a few coins at the bathhouse and used up the stored value on her bath card, saved up another 19 coins.

The reason is... Tong was so engrossed in thinking while taking a shower that she didn't rinse the soap off properly.

Even after returning to Longchao Pavilion, I was still thinking about this matter—in Fujian... that person didn't make any money and went from extravagance to frugality again. How could I be so extravagant with my money?

That's a nine-square coin!

If handled properly, it might be enough for a bath!

Or if you're still hungry after a meal, you can get some extra rice or something...

How precious!

I was just spacing out? Lost in thought?!

What can't you think about after taking a shower?

hateful!

Why do I have to stand there in a daze while I'm spending money?

And so, still burdened by the thought of those nine coins that shouldn't have been spent, she not only forgot about Min Moyou's matter but also kept blaming herself with guilt.

Even when she returned to Longchao Pavilion, she didn't notice the stingy Master Du greeting her!

She was completely absorbed in the incident of accidentally spending too much money...

Back at Longchao Pavilion, Tong took out a plastic hair dryer that had been used for several years and was yellowed, peeling, and cracked. After plugging it into the power supply of Longchao Pavilion, she began the long and tedious process of drying her hair.

Even the public hair dryers provided in the bathhouse are better than the one Tong has.

But why didn't Tong choose to use that one?

Is it because you like equipment with a strong sense of brokenness?

of course not,

Because you have to pay to use the hair dryer in the bathhouse.

After the incident of spending an extra 1900 yuan to take a shower, Tong's long hair drying time wasn't so boring. She mentally berated herself, and couldn't help but laugh several times while cursing.

If it weren't for this carefree and joyful attitude, how could Tong have persevered through such a difficult life?

Only Tong herself knows how much bitterness is in her heart.

But life goes on. Her dream of becoming a great director hasn't been realized yet, and her ambition to find the Supreme Dragon Curse hasn't been fulfilled. Besides, she's still so young; she wouldn't risk suicide over such a trivial matter...

Of course, only Tong knew the truth: the so-called trivial matter wasn't about spending an extra nine coins on a bath, but rather...

Ahhhhh, I really can't forget it!!!

I was... you know...!

This is no small matter!

In a moment of weakness, Tong, who was drying her hair, got so angry that she wanted to smash her "Peppa Pig headband" that had been with her for a long time to the ground!

They used all their strength to lift their hands high!

But after thinking about it, I decided to let it go.

I broke this hairdryer, and I'll have to go hungry for a whole day before I have enough money to buy a new one...

So annoying! So annoying!

Tong "fiercely" put the hair dryer down gently, placed it back in her backpack, padded it with two more layers of clothing, and put it away in a safe place—to prevent it from getting bumped or knocked over if she was in a hurry to grab her bag.

After doing all this, Tong finally felt relieved and "comfortably" lay down on her old, worn-out, hole-ridden, slightly smelly, and poorly filled recliner that she had slept on for several years.

To be honest, Tong's old companion—the single sofa—does actually look quite decent—it's shiny and glossy.

Is it because this single sofa is high-end and of good quality?

Do not,

It was because after the sofa started to fade and peel, Mr. Du felt that leaving it there so casually would damage the overall image of Longchao Pavilion, so he personally bought a bottle of... paint?

Something like that,

The sofa beneath Tong was painted several times over to maintain its "good" condition.

No more, no more!

Why does Tong feel that her world is so gloomy?

Master Du was willing to spend money to buy genuine leather sofas for Longchao Pavilion's main hall to entertain guests, and even to spend money to buy ornaments and decorations to decorate Longchao Pavilion's "main hall," but he was unwilling to spend any money to install a door or put a bed in it.

After taking the money handed over to her, Boss Shen disappeared without a trace, and the money was never found again. When she was truly exploited by Master Du and tried to get some money back from Boss Shen, he would tell her to go find Master Du…

Then a new cycle begins.

What kind of mess is this?!

Tong lay on the sofa, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

All sorts of upsetting things, whether they were things she had buried deep in her heart before or things she had ignored, all surged into her mind, battling each other! Tearing each other apart! Chaos ensued! Trying to become the biggest negative emotion, the source of Tong's sadness!

For a moment, Tong felt as if there wasn't a single good person in the world!

Of course, it's all an illusion.

Until the memories of Min Moyou resurfaced in Tong's mind, pressing all her other sad memories deep within her heart and eventually taking over her entire mind—

Tong felt that everyone in the world except Min Moyou was a good person!

Even Master Du has become much more adorable.

Ahhhhh! !! !!

It just won't go away! It just won't go away!!!

Why does that bastard's image keep lingering in my mind?

Wow! ...

Tong hugged herself and rolled around on the sofa frantically, trying to vent all the bad memories related to Min Moyou!

Then, something poked Tong's hand.

Looking down, she realized it was the pink diamond ring that bastard Min had given her.

She had foolishly believed that Min Moyou liked her, was attracted to her charm, and was giving her gifts, spending money on her, and deliberately offering her such an inflated salary... all to carefully create an opportunity to pursue her...

Although my ambitions are very high...

But it's not that they can't tolerate a relationship, or a man...

But even though he was about to give in... he actually—!

Ugh! He really does! So much! He "likes" me!

Tong gripped the ring she'd been wearing all this time without even realizing it, and suddenly pulled it out—

Ouch...it's really tight, it almost dislocated my finger...

Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts...

Tong raised her hand holding the ring sharply, ready to throw it away anywhere!

After hesitating for a moment, I silently put it down...

I can't bear to throw it away... Minmo... That bastard did something wrong, how can you blame it on an inanimate object?

Even inanimate objects that are so valuable and so beautiful.

Should we sell it?

Make a fortune!

Tong thought about it, then decided against it.

She was prepared to never speak to Min Moyou again—remembering Min Moyou's warning about selling the ring—what if she actually sold it and he ended up coming to her door...?

Does that mean we'll have to meet again?

I absolutely don't want to see him!

What else can we do?!

Tong's gaze unconsciously drifted to the clothes that Min... that person had given her last, which she had put in a black plastic garbage bag after changing out of the bathhouse.

His expression was complicated.

Then I looked at the desk and cabinet next to it, which had a very strong "antique" feel...

Okay, to hell with the antique charm, it's just old and worn out, with tables and cabinets that look older than Tong.

Or just leave it there.

Anyway, we don't open those cabinets often.

Just leave it... just leave it...

They've probably forgotten about it.

Tong tossed the ring on her hand into the black plastic trash bag containing the clothes, then opened the small wooden cabinet under the desk.

"Squeak—creak—"

The piercing sound assaulted Tong's eardrums, and the swirling dust choked her several times unexpectedly...

“Cough cough cough…”

Now she was certain that she would never open that cabinet again.

"Ouch—snap!"

Tong threw a bag of things inside, slammed the cabinet door shut, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, yes.

As long as I forget that man again,

And that's the end of it...

This nightmare will end...

My life will return to normal...

"Hey~ Isn't this my little pet? Finally decided to come home? What treasure have you been hiding from me?"

A thick plume of white smoke suddenly appeared behind Tong, followed by a familiar woman, a familiar voice, and an unfamiliar greeting.

"Hey, isn't this Boss Shen?"

"You actually have the leisure to visit my room today?"

Sure enough, even using a screen as a door couldn't stop Boss Shen from coming and going as he pleased?

Pupil snapped out of her daze, putting on her usual cheerful and carefree demeanor, burying her sadness and heaviness.

From the moment she threw that bag of things into the cupboard, Tong made up her mind to completely sever all memories and experiences related to Min Moyou from her future life!

She is still the same Tong, and she won't change just because of one bad encounter with a man!

Let's start today!

"duang~"

The Mirage Boss's pipe, puffing out white smoke, landed precisely on Tong's forehead. He looked down at her with a slightly displeased expression.

"What's your room?"

"Clearly, the entire Dragon Tide Pavilion belongs to me."

"Talking nonsense again? You deserve a beating."

Tong scratched the spot on the head where Boss Shen had just hit her, and chuckled.

The boss of the Mirage didn't tap Tong on the head with much force; it was the kind that would only daze her without causing any serious injury, and Tong didn't mind.

"Boss, what are you saying? I'm a long-time employee of Longchao Pavilion, right? I'm the top salesperson, okay? Don't I generate the most sales every month? Boss, how come you can't even afford a room without a door or a bed?"

Tong even mentioned in her words that her room didn't have a door or a bed, and her tone was pitiful—Shen Laoban should be able to understand what she wanted, right?

Without any hesitation, the Mirage Boss exhaled a thick, white breath of immortal energy directly into Tong's face as punishment for her cleverness, and then let out a soft snort.

"Okay~ Next time I go out, I'll bring you back a little gift."

"thank you boss!"

Tong immediately gave a lightning-fast 90° bow in gratitude!

The boss is so nice!

Next time she comes back from her trip, she'll definitely arrange a bed and a door for me, right?

We need to sleep in beds too!

"I'm not going to argue with you anymore..."

Suddenly, Boss Shen's expression turned serious, his smile vanished, and he gently tapped Tong's head twice with his pipe, waking Tong from her euphoria.

"I have something to ask you."

"What's up, boss?"

Tong responded cheerfully, not minding at all that Boss Shen was knocking on her head every day, her mind filled with thoughts of the new room with doors and beds that would soon be installed.
