Chapter 315: Chapter 312: To Do or Not?
"Iām so fed up, why is going to work such a hassle? I just want to quit!"
At the night market food stall, Su Qing sat across from Wang Xing. As soon as they sat down, Wang Xing started complaining, looking quite out of sorts.
"Whatās up? Did your boss make empty promises again?" Su Qing asked.
The two of them had gotten in touch around noon, and after work, Wang Xing rushed over to intercept him and dragged him here for a little gathering.
As for the duo of Wolong and Fengchu, he originally intended for them to join, but Lin Miaomiao said it would be too deliberate, so he suggested they gather on their own. She went back to pack some things, preparing to move.
Sun Mumu naturally knew her friend was chickening out, but you canāt force these things; it might backfire, so today it was just the two of them. Actually, not just them; there was also Big Yellow munching on a roujiamo.
Thatās right, Big Yellow rarely eats dog food these days; its meals arenāt any less than humansā. After all, Big Yellow makes money, too.
Heās stingy, but not so much that heād skimp on Big Yellowās meals, so naturally, he only picks the best for it.
"No, itās not that. Itās just this stupid client I encountered; sheās so darn annoying.
She ate the food, inquired about the prices, and I even gave her the lowest quote, but she just wonāt sign the contract, drives me nuts.
With her budget, I guarantee thereās no one in Jiangcheng City offering a lower price than me. Not much money, high demands, and the worst part is she keeps asking for a discount. Damn it, the company doesnāt belong to me, how could she haggle like that?
Do you believe it? If I give her a bit of a discount, sheād still press for a lower price. I canāt deal with this, what kind of people are they!"
The business Wang Xing was doing now could indeed be seen as an unconventional sales job. He was earning commissions, and when business was good, he made quite a bit, easily over ten thousand a month. In fact, some sales champions in their company have made upwards of over a hundred thousand in just one month. In top-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai, thereās essentially no cap on salesā salaries.
But thereās no free lunch in this world; the more you want to earn, the more you have to endure.
"Thatās the price you pay for this kind of job. If it were relaxed with no issues and paid well, do you think itād be available to you?" Su Qing replied, rolling his eyes.
"Yeah, I know, but... sigh, forget it. Do you have any jobs like Miss Wangās? I feel I have a knack for tracking people," Wang Xing said.
"Are you not fully awake? Why are you dreaming so big?"
"I donāt want to either, but earning that kind of money feels so good. Just for a week, and they paid me twenty thousand, twenty thousand! Itās a shame since last weekend theyāve told me they donāt need me to follow them anymore. But Miss Wang said sheād contact me in the future if needed," Wang Xing said, his face full of longing.
"I think youāre more likely to marry into her family rather than making money this way; itās unrealistic!" Su Qing rolled his eyes and advised.
This is the aftermath of making quick money. Once youāve experienced it, the pace of earning through regular jobs becomes bland.
Thatās how he was now, treating normal jobs as a spice of life, not taking them too seriously.
"Yeah, I know itās unrealistic. Still, Iām really averse to socializing now. Qingzi, do you think thereās a job where I can avoid social interactions? Ideally, where the boss doesnāt bother me, colleagues donāt hassle me, clients donāt disturb me, and the pay isnāt bad?" Wang Xing asked, the exhaustion from dealing with that client evident.
But Wang Xing never expected that heād actually get an answer, and one that was a perfect fit.
"Guess what, there really is!"
"Huh? Really? What job?"
Su Qing: "Working at a crematorium, burning bodies is not bad. No boss during the day, no boss at night, hardly any colleagues, and the clients donāt talk."
"But what if the clients do talk?" Wang Xing asked, shocked.
Su Qing gave a slight smile and replied, "Just turn the fire up all the way. The key part is, there are no repeat customers in this line of work. Theyāre constantly hiring, and the payās not bad."
Hearing this, Wang Xingās eyes lit up, and he nodded. Donāt say, this job actually suited him. Most importantly, he wasnāt afraid of ghosts; heād be the type to chase after NPCs in haunted houses.
In haunted houses, compared to him, even female ghosts could evoke a manās protective instinct. Put it this way, if Wang Xing showed his pervy expression there, heād want to protect the female ghost instead.
"Okay, Iāll look into it in the next couple of days. If the pay is really as good as you say, I might want to give it a try."
Hearing this, Su Qing chuckled lightly, shaking his head, "Donāt be too optimistic. In a place like a crematorium, youād have to carry bodies. Just last week, we found a body in pieces, highly decomposed, a female corpse, very gruesome. Just one look and I lost my appetite for the whole day. Itās still lying in the police morgue now. Are you sure you can handle it?"
Hearing this, Wang Xing involuntarily gulped. Though he wasnāt afraid of ghosts, he couldnāt control feeling disgusted.
"Not all of them are like what you said, right?"
Now that Wang Xing knew he worked at the police station, he naturally understood that Su Qing was likely telling the truth.
"Thatās true, but some time ago, a girl jumped off a building. Her body was also quite horrifying, eyes wide open, and there were those who died in car accidents, or drowned in the river..."
"Alright, alright, stop talking, Iāll just prepare for a government job exam. Iām thinking of becoming a prison guard!" Hearing about all the gruesome bodies in the crematorium, he immediately shrank back.
But upon hearing this, Su Qing was taken aback, "A prison guard? I thought you wanted to be a police officer?"
"No kidding, of course I want to be a cop, but you know how hard those exams are? Every year tons of police academy grads, and the competition is fierce. Do you think everyone can be as lucky as you, getting specially recruited by the police? With a prison guard, I think the pressure would be less. The exams start in October, registration is next month, and Iāve already started studying on my own!"
Su Qing couldnāt help but chuckle disdainfully. Him, self-study? What a joke.
"Hey, whatās with that face? You donāt believe me?"
"Sure, sure, I believe you, but are you sure that with just self-study here in our competitive exam province, you can outperform those whoāve been cramming? Take my advice, why donāt you sign up for a class?"
"You think I donāt want to? The key is that I canāt lose my job, right? Iām not like you, having a rich lady to take care of me. Iām a real man; I rely on myself!"
Su Qing: ...
"Alright then, this real man, do you want to help Lin move tomorrow?"
"Sure, the more friends you have, the more opportunities you get. Besides, I saved her too, so weāre friends. I found her the house; we keep in touch regularly. As long as I have enough female friends, theyāll definitely introduce me to someone."
Well, this guy is hopeless, like putting on pants to fart. Heās a second-degree mentally challenged person.
"By the way, do you want to come along tomorrow? Iām afraid I canāt handle it all by myself!"
To this, Su Qing waved his hand repeatedly. Since itās your job, then you handle it from start to finish. Besides, even Wang Xing knows not to be a third wheel. As a person of normal intelligence, he certainly wouldnāt do such a thankless task. Who knows what the social beast will say about him behind his back?
In the evening, when Su Qing brought Da Huang home, he opened the door to find the house unusually lively.
"Wow, Da Huang, I missed you so much!" The little girl, seeing them return, rushed over and hugged Da Huangās neck, making Da Huang look utterly resigned, not expecting to have to work overtime today.
The little girl then turned her head mischievously and asked, "Su Papa, where did you go? Did you settle your lady friends? Are they okay looking? Are they stunning?"
He was baffled by this and then glanced at the two women sitting on the sofa. Seeing Shen Yi blushing and the landlady smiling but puzzled, he squatted down and ruffled the little girlās head and asked:
"What lady friends? Who told you that?"
"Mom said that, she...she said Su Papa, you...you canāt even settle a lady friend."
Su Qing: ...
Kids donāt have bad intentions; even if they do something wrong, itās the parentsā teaching; that statement isnāt wrong at all.
He then ruffled her little head and let her play with Da Huang, then stepped forward and asked:
"Sister Wen, what did you say to the little girl now, about lady friends?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Nanqing couldnāt help but glance at Shen Yi, pursed her lips, and said: "I was saying, youāve helped Xiao Yi with a big trouble, but canāt settle a lady friend. Xiao Yun wasnāt clear in her words. But this time weāve gained a lot; you deserve the most credit. I was just discussing with Xiao Yi how to thank you. Now that youāre back, tell us, what do you want? As long as the two sisters can do it, theyāll satisfy you!"
As she spoke, she gave him a look, constantly glancing at Shen Yi, implying that he should be more proactive and preferably make some excessive requests while Shen Yi is happy, and settle the matter together.
"How about you check out my bill, itās a small business, no credit transactions!"
The two women: ...
"I told you he canāt say anything good. Alright, Iām in a good mood today, letās go out and have some fun. Iāll arrange it!" Shen Yi glared at him and then said.
Even Wen Nanqing looked at him with a āyouāre hopelessā expression and finally could only smile helplessly.
"Alright then, I havenāt gone out in a while, letās pack up and get ready to go!"
"Hey hey, not so fast, I just got back!"
"Go when youāre told to go, why so much nonsense!"
Su Qing: ...
Soon, the four of them set out by car.
In a dimly lit room, lying on the sofa, Shen Yi was lying next to him, wearing loose pajamas, one hand propped under her chin, her hair spread across her chest, looking at him lazily, and said softly:
"Have you ever done it before?"
Su Qing: "N-no, I havenāt?"
"Then do you want to try?" Shen Yi asked with a somewhat eager smile.
Seeing her slightly perverse expression, he instinctively shrank his neck and looked around nervously: "Iām a bit scared!"
"What are you afraid of? Thereās a first time for everything. Oh come on, relax, it feels great! So, are you doing it or not?"
"Well... okay?"
Hearing this, Shen Yi immediately got up and said to the uniformed attendant beside them: "Iāll have a full body massage, give him a foot reflexology, get someone good, heās sensitive!"
"Alright, miss, weāll get that arranged for you right away!"
Hearing this, Su Qing hurriedly said: "Uh, can I also have a full body massage?"
"You dare!!"
Su Qing: ...
