Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 60: Under the Peaceful Daily Life

"Brother~"

Not long after the baby-faced girl left the ward, Anna came in with a small cloth bag and asked curiously:
"What did you two talk about just now? Miss Amy seemed to be in a good mood, and her eyes were not so puffy anymore."

"Haha, of course we talked about something good!"

After solving the problem of his younger brother and sister going to school, Leon was in a very good mood and smiled and reported the good news:
"Just now I didn't ask for compensation from Charles Company. Instead, I asked her to help me solve the problem of Melanie and William going to school."

"Really!"

When Anna heard that her younger brother and sister had found a school, she couldn't help but be surprised.

After walking quickly to the bed and sitting sideways, she took out the lunch box from the small cloth bag and asked happily:
"Which public school is it? The one on Blackstone Lane? Or the one just outside the city from the Alchemy Factory?"

"neither."

After smiling and shaking his head, Lyon did not keep the question in suspense but gave the answer directly.

"It's the Bridge School, the one at the corner of Bridge Street and Theatre Street!"

Bridge School?!
After hearing the name of this school, Anna couldn't help but be overjoyed, and a blush of excitement floated across her fair cheeks.

"Isn't that the best school in our old city? If William and his friends can go to school there, as long as their grades are good, they can be directly promoted from the school, and even go on to university! Oh! This is really..."

"Don't get excited, hey! Just hold on tight!"

Seeing the lunch box in his sister's hand tilted and a lot of soup seeping out from the gap in the lid, Leon was shocked and hurriedly reached out to hold it. Although he successfully protected his lunch, he pulled his broken ribs and his face turned pale in pain.

"elder brother!"

Anna got up quickly after being startled, and helped Leon, who was gasping for air, to lean back on the pillow at the head of the bed. After waiting for a while to confirm that he was fine, she let go of her worries and said with a worried look on her face:
"Brother! You better stop moving. I'll feed you."

Leon, grimacing in pain, had no choice but to nod, then he slightly tilted his chin, which was stuck in the neck brace, and took a sip of the fish soup that was handed to him.

"hiss……"

Did you get burned?

Hearing Leon's inhalation, Anna couldn't help but blink in surprise, scooped up another spoonful of the milky white fish soup, and took a sip herself.

“It’s not hot either?”

"It's not hot, it's fresh."

Seeing his sister still worried, Leon did not say that he was in pain and took a breath, but smiled and said teasingly:

"Anna~ This hospital seems to be a good place. After you stayed here for a few days, not only did you recover from your illness, but your cooking skills have even improved."

"My cooking skills haven't changed. It's mainly because my family has money now and can afford to buy live fish and spices."

Taking out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiping off a little fish soup from the corner of Leon's mouth, Anna forked a small piece of fish and handed it to Leon's mouth, saying happily:
"Brother, someone knocked on our door this morning and said it was your colleague who brought your salary for this week. It was nine golden wheels!"

Nine golden wheels...

After hearing what Anna said, Leon couldn’t help but do some calculations in his mind.

My basic weekly salary is 12 gold rounds, including the 2 gold rounds from Toad's field mission, the total should be 14 gold rounds. After deducting the bill for drinks, there are still 9 gold rounds left...but the six bottles of wine ordered by the director cost 5 gold rounds?

After being shocked by the price of the wine, Leon quickly swallowed the fish in his mouth, opened the badge panel and checked the progress of [Wine Country Martyr].
One hundred and seventeen bottles... If all these bottles were priced this high... On the day I got drunk and was sent home by the director, wouldn't I have drunk nearly a hundred gold wheels? ! ! !
……

[Dear Miss Olivia, you spent money at our store ten days ago, and the wine bill totaling 327 gold wheels has not yet been paid. I hope you can settle it as soon as possible after receiving this notice. We are looking forward to seeing you again.]

"..."

After reading the debt collection letter on his desk, the silent red-haired director picked up the bottle, tilted his head back and took a big gulp of the tea inside. Then he put the whiskey bottle back on the table and stared at the liquid inside that was the same color as the whiskey in a trance.

Why on earth had I been so crazy that I asked him to drink so much?
Thinking of a drinking buddy who was obviously drunk and looked like he might dive under the table at any time, but refused to fall no matter how much he was forced to drink, the red-haired director could not help but rub his swollen temples and vaguely recalled some fragments of that night.

Chief, these are all the wines you ordered. Would we like some more food?
I'll try other drinks too, but I'll just drink one cup to see how it tastes.

Huh? That's it? You can drink a lot, right?

Can't you afford it? How about I pay a little bit too?

"..."

Have I been fooled?
Relying on his extraordinary memory, the red-haired director recalled how his wallet was emptied step by step. He couldn't help but smacked his lips in annoyance. The more he thought about it, the more he felt like a fool.

Someone said he couldn't drink, but he just kept drinking, and ended up drinking more than me! What's even worse is that when he ran out of wine, he just lay down on the floor and started to sleep, and I had to take him home!

Touching his wallet which had just been emptied after receiving his salary, the red-haired director clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he made up his mind.

Even if I, Olivia, die of poverty, greed, and can only pour tea into the wine bottle to deceive myself, I will never drink with Leon again!
no way!

After casually crumpling up the bill and throwing it into the trash can beside the table, the red-haired director with a sullen face grabbed a pile of newspapers on the table and started reading the news that happened that week.

The Sun: "Shocked, a few days ago a citizen passed by Charles Department Store and was suddenly struck by a windfall! "

"Pfft!"

Looking at the gray-white photo on the front page of the newspaper, in which Leon was pinned down by countless golden wheels with only his arms exposed, the red-haired director couldn't help but chuckle. After taking a quick glance at the report, he cut out the article and, smilingly, put it into Leon's file.

There is just one picture missing in the report on the Holy Spirit Coming of the Chengjin Cult. I might as well use this when I submit it~ Haha, you'll cheat me out of my wine money!

Oh and, it’s been four days already. Given Lyon’s current condition, he should be able to come back to work today, right?

After quickly reading the entire Sun and not seeing anything suspicious, the red-haired director felt much happier and continued to flip through other newspapers.

Daily News: "The editor-in-chief of our newspaper was attacked by a mob a few days ago. The other party claimed: The nobles are just lice in the crotch!"

Financial Times: "Affected by the big sale at Charr Department Store, Rose Department Store's revenue has dropped sharply and it is suspected to be closed down!"

Dance Entertainment News: "The troupe's chief scandal was boycotted, and there is no replacement candidate for the time being. Master Wilde's performance may be hindered! "

Hmm... Although a lot of things have happened, they seem to have nothing to do with "abnormality". The royal capital seems very peaceful recently!

After nodding with satisfaction, the red-haired director was about to put the newspapers away, but he caught a glimpse of an insignificant piece of news in the corner out of the corner of his eye.

New Industrial News: "Aimi Winery's new couple wine is on the market. Couples can enjoy a 50% discount if they purchase and drink it on the spot"

"Hiss..."
