Chapter 40

"Get your foot off me!!" he cried, his leg being stepped on painfully. "You woman have no sympathy at all!! Quick, let go of me. If you don't want to give me anything, fine, but don't hit me!"

Shang Yu grabbed his clothes and pulled him up to his feet.

"Hey, hey, don't be so cocky! I haven't scammed you out of any money!"

He quickly pulled his legs out of his pants and stood up straight. "Let go, don't think I won't hit you just because you're a girl!"

Shang Yu released him, and he straightened his clothes, putting the water bottle that had fallen out back into place, muttering, "Youngsters these days are getting harder and harder to trick."

"Kid, you have hands and feet, why are you trying to con people?" Shang Yu frowned at him.

He glanced at her. "Each time I only manage to con three or four bucks. Payday is too late, this little bit of money can help me survive a few more days. And three or four bucks isn't much."

"You have a job?"

"Isn't that obvious? Without a job, I'd starve to death." He rolled his eyes at her. "You look good, but I didn't expect you to have a brain too. What a waste of my effort."

"What kind of job do you do?"Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om

"A little bit of everything - sweeping the streets, dumping trash, collecting scrap, sometimes working as a private detective, or a mistress-deterring counselor. If you need any of those services, here's my card." He handed her a brand new business card. "Taking on all kinds of jobs, at your service."

"..."

Yu Yuan and Shang Yu both looked at the card, which indeed listed many services.

"Nineteen."

"I'm younger than you, and I'm just a girl. What could I do to you?"

"What if you're going to get a gang?"

"Look around, the garbage trucks have left. You know this place better than I do, how could I find a gang?"

"...Fair point." Gu XiaoMing nodded.

"Wait for me, twenty thousand, alright? Think it over!"

"Okay." Gu XiaoMing scratched his head and watched her run towards the garbage dump.

He sat by the roadside, eyeing her bicycle. Damn?!

Isn't that the GF mountain bike?

So cool, probably worth almost a hundred grand.

She just left it here? Not afraid I'd steal it?

Gu XiaoMing pondered, then sighed. "Mom told me not to do anything illegal, so I'll just wait for her."

Wonder what she went to do over there.
