Book 1: Chapter 101
I thought of Warehouse Eleven and looked around, but didn't see Bai Haotian anywhere. I didnt know how this little girl had saved us both considering we couldnt do anything at the time. But Bai Haotian didnt seem to be here anymore. Uncle Two interrupted my thoughts, "Thirty-five hundred a month."
"Wait, the interns get paid more than that," I argued with him.
Uncle Two ignored me, but Fatty winked at me, "Youre old and unemployed, so its especially suitable for you to look after the warehouse. Anyway, its not like youve got anything else to do. Take some night shifts and get overtime pay."
I looked at Fatty's expression and noticed that he seemed to have some special purpose in mind, so I stopped nagging and said to Uncle Two, "Give me gas allowance. My car goes through a lot of gas." Uncle Two glanced at Er Jing, who was standing off to the side. Er Jing took out a computer and pressed a few buttons. After doing a few calculations, he said to me, "Little Master Three, you report your monthly gas expenses to me. Theres no precedent for gas allowance here."
I heaved a long sigh and looked at Fatty, "Wheres the condom? Give it back to my Uncle Two. Otherwise, Ill lose the goods before I even start working. Uncle Two will definitely take it out of my salary."
"It depends on whether the owner wants to hold you accountable," Er Jing said as he looked at Poker-Face.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Thank God, the owner of this thing is Poker-Face. If he wanted to talk about owing money, then the two of us had a lot to discuss.
Kan Jian called me over, so I grabbed my takeout box and went outside. I saw that the leather figurine woman had become something like plastic film the color of oil paper. When I asked why it had been left on the street, Kan Jian said, "Its to dry it out so it can be taken back and studied."
After a few mouthfuls of rice, I went back to the room and said to Uncle Two, "Ill go to work tomorrow. Uncle Two, do you have anything else you want to tell me? If not, I'll head out first. I looked at Fatty and Poker-Face, "Where are you guys staying?"
"Where do you live? Fatty asked. Well find a place near you. Youre making thirty-five hundred now, so we have to adapt to the changes."
I motioned for them to follow me, but Uncle Two suddenly said, "Don't go yet. There are some things you need know. Uncle Two picked up the phone and called someone, "Where are you? The sooner you get here, the sooner we can finish things."
I didnt know who it was, but after exchanging a few words with the other party, Uncle Two handed me the phone. When I put it to my ear, I heard Xiao Hua's voice, "Please stay. I'll be there in five minutes. I found something I think you should know about."
My heart clenched, thinking that it was something to do with Uncle Three. Then I immediately felt guilty. Uncle Two still wanted me to participate even though I had made him look bad.
Xiao Hua kept talking, "I know there are a lot of people there, so Ill tell you the big thing first. After everyone leaves, I have a private matter to discuss with you. Remember to make up some excuse so we can go out together later."
I listened and wondered what he had to say, "What's this private matter related to? Don't leave me hanging. Give me at least a little something. Otherwise, I can't stand it."
"Its related to Black Glasses," Xiao Hua said.
