Chapter 79 Paying Money Privately

Gu Xi tidied up the messy desk, put all the live broadcast props into the storage box, and asked Li Siyuan who had just come in after doing laundry.

"Did anything happen? I felt like the air pressure was off with you guys, and it was a little early to get off work today."

Li Siyuan came over in a sullen mood and hugged Gu Xi, "I'm so mad. I'm really going to explode tonight."

Gu Xi patted her shoulder and said, "What are you so angry about? Tell me."

Li Siyuan, who had been unable to hold back for a long time, recounted what happened tonight. Gu Xi listened quietly, responding from time to time.

"The unreasonable old woman later disliked me and said she would fire me or she would complain to her superiors."

Gu Xi pursed her lips and paused her hand that was patting her shoulder.

Reputation is very important in the catering industry, especially for chain restaurants that focus on service.

On one side are temporary workers, and on the other side are customer complaints.

The store manager wants to suppress the matter and may agree to the customer's request and fire the temporary worker.

For temporary workers, the store does not need to pay any extra fees even if they do not have a labor contract.

"So you were fired just like that?" Gu Xi sighed, feeling sorry for his two roommates.

"No, the store manager was a nice guy. He didn't agree to the old woman's request, which made us feel better. But after working in the fast food restaurant for 5 days, I was very unhappy and offered to quit. When I asked Xu Jingyan, she also said she didn't want to work anymore. In the end, the store manager gave us two days' salary when we left."

Gu Xi nodded. Patience also has to have a corresponding value. A job makes people physically and mentally exhausted, and the salary is not high. If you don’t plan to stay in this industry, you can boldly change it.

"What about the last aunt? Did you just leave after you submitted your resignation?"

Li Siyuan: "That can't be possible. I resigned in front of that old woman, so of course I wanted to put aside my burdens and fight with her. Unfortunately, the fight didn't happen. Her daughter grabbed her mother and said that she had settled the matter privately with Xu Jingyan. At first, I didn't recognize who she was. I just thought she was pretty. It was on the way back that I remembered who she was."

"Who? From our school?"

"Well, Cai Muqing is a sophomore in our school's dance performance department. She was the school beauty of the previous year. She is really pretty, but how come she has such an unreasonable mother?"

Gu Xi raised an eyebrow: "Did she pay the compensation privately?"

"Yes, I transferred 500 yuan to Jingyan to settle it privately."

Li Siyuan complained quietly: "It's only 500 yuan. I don't understand. She was given 500 yuan for a slap in the face. Such a big grievance is only worth 500 yuan. I really want to say that she is disappointing."

Gu Xi pushed her away. "This shows that Xu Jingyan is not a greedy person. She doesn't want much. This is also related to the environment she grew up in. No one told her how much pride is worth, how much face is worth. If she is wronged, as long as the other party has a compromising attitude and enough money for her to live for a month, she can reach a settlement with him."

"I can understand her behavior. In fact, many college students are like this. They are easy to talk to and easy to bully. If they suffer a little harm, as long as the other party says sorry, they will immediately choose to forgive. In this matter, the one who should be looked down upon is always the perpetrator, not the victim."

"You're right." Li Siyuan's expression was complicated. She sighed and said, "Oh, I regret saying such soft words to her on the road. She must be very sad too."

Gu Xi looked towards the bathroom. Xu Jingyan had been there for quite a long time without coming out, but there was still the sound of water inside.

She gestured to Li Siyuan: "Go and call her out."

Li Siyuan nodded and went to the bathroom door to call someone. The tall man bent over and spoke softly into the room, looking a little funny.

After a while, a response came from the bathroom.

"Ah."

With a heavy nasal tone.

......

Gu Xi sat back at the desk and started drawing.

She had a list in her hand that had already taken her five days to complete, and it had to be submitted before tomorrow morning.

Li Siyuan wandered behind her and looked at the colorful and lifelike portrait of the two people. He was amazed at the versatility of the people around him. Looking at the pair of flexible hands, he couldn't help but sigh: "If I were a man, I would definitely be your licking dog."

The sudden words made Gu Xi's hands tremble slightly. She sighed, "What are you doing crazy again?"

"Am I crazy? I know that if I were a man, I would never be able to catch up with you. I can only be a licking dog. This is enough to prove that I am sane and sober."

"Ah."

"Hey, does talking to me affect your painting?"

"If you have something to say, just say it. I may not be able to listen to you when I'm painting."

".......good."

Even if she couldn't hear it, Li Siyuan just wanted to say it, especially because of what happened today.

"Then I'll say mine, and you draw yours."

"Ah."

"It's nothing else, but after working part-time for a while, I have some feelings. I found that it's easy to be unhappy in a job with no threshold. I feel like I'm wasting time and I clearly feel that I'm cheap labor. Even if it weren't for what happened today, I would have quit soon. You were right at the beginning. People should still have a skill to improve the value of their time. People with foresight will not have immediate worries. You can support yourself by painting, not to mention live streaming... I can't continue to muddle along for a little money. It's embarrassing for a college student from a 985 prestigious university!"

Gu Xi stopped writing and said, "School has only started for a month. It's not too late for you to learn a special skill now. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Working in a fast food restaurant not only pays you, but also helps you hone your character. It's worth it to think of it as a practice."

Li Siyuan hummed.

It is indeed a good practice, and I feel my patience has improved a lot.

For example, Ren Chan, looking at her now, she is sometimes quite cute.

At this time Xu Jingyan came in from outside. Gu Xi looked up, frowned, and walked over to look at her slightly red and swollen cheeks.

"You need to apply ice to this injury, otherwise it might get more swollen tomorrow."

Xu Jingyan smiled shyly and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, I don't plan to leave the dormitory these days, just take care of it."

"Don't delay if you can get relief sooner. I'll go borrow some ice from the building manager. Wait."

There is a refrigerator in the dormitory of the building manager. Although it is a private refrigerator, ice packs are always available. During the military training before, someone sprained his leg when going downstairs, and he bought an ice pack from the building manager to relieve the injury.

When Gu Xi went to buy an ice pack, the building manager asked enthusiastically if he was injured and planned to come up to check on him, but was politely stopped by Gu Xi.

When I returned to the dormitory, I saw Li Siyuan sitting next to Xu Jingyan, and the two of them were talking on the phone.

"I told you to take less. She's going to participate in an online variety show soon, and she's definitely afraid that you'll call the police..."

"Forget it, I think she is pretty easy to talk to..."

Gu Xi walked over and saw that the account of 'Cai Muqing' on Tomato was posting a poster, which was a promotion for her upcoming participation in Kiwi's self-made online dating variety show.

Being able to participate in variety shows in sophomore year means the resources are really good.

Dating variety shows have always been very popular. If she becomes popular, she will be able to smoothly enter the entertainment industry and her future will be limitless.

However, Gu Xi shook his head and said, "If she was really easy to talk to, she would have stopped her mother from beating and scolding you."

Xu Jingyan, who was froze by the cold touch, hissed softly, quickly took the ice pack from Gu Xi's hand, and sighed.

"She was pretty and spoke politely, so people wouldn't think badly of her. Anyway, I thought she was a pretty good girl at the time."

"Wait a minute, take a picture."

Li Siyuan quickly picked up her phone and took several photos of Xu Jingyan's injuries. After taking the photos, she suggested: "Send the photos to her and tell her that the injury is very serious. You should go to the hospital and see what she says."

Xu Jingyan: “Ah?”

"Ah, what? Just to see if she will reply to you, to see what her attitude is."

"Oh."

Gu Xi did not intervene. She got up to get her clothes and take a shower.

When she came out of the bathroom, she soon found out the answer.

Cai Muqing blocked Xu Jingyan on WeChat.

Not a word was said.

“The first message I sent showed it was sent successfully, but then I checked for a long time and there was no reply. When I sent an emoji again, it showed that I had been blocked.”

Li Siyuan had a strange smile on his face, not at all surprised.

She just wanted to stab Cai Muqing, even if it was only painful for a few seconds, it would be nice.

Gu Xi: "We are from the same school, maybe we can meet each other someday."

"Then my first question would definitely be to greet her mother."

.......

At night, Gu Xi sat at the desk and drew with the desk lamp on.

Li Siyuan played with his phone for a while and then fell asleep, snoring softly, while a faint light was shining through Xu Jingyan's bed curtains, which had not been turned off.

The quiet atmosphere greatly improved Gu Xi's painting efficiency.

When I felt sleepy, I applied some cooling oil and finally finished the drawing at 2 a.m.

Although it was late, she still sent the draft because the other party was a night owl writer and probably hadn't rested at this time.

[Seven-star gourd lantern: Got it! ]

【Xi: If you have any questions, please contact me】

After a long while, the other party replied:

[Qixingpiaodeng: I just finished looking at my wife's paintings! Wow, every detail is beautiful, I love it so much! (Screaming) This is the hero and heroine in my mind! ]

[Xi: [Send you a little flower] The novels written by my wife are also very good. I hope the physical books will sell well.]

[Seven Stars Lantern: I will bring a nice cover to make my daughter famous! [clenched fist]]

[Seven-star gourd lantern: transfer 3666]

[Xi: Hmm? Didn’t we agree on 3000? Why are you giving so much?]

[Seven-star gourd lantern: I love that painting so much, my daughter deserves a price increase! ]

【Xi: [happy] Thank you】

At two o'clock in the morning, I earned 3666. My wallet, which had been deflated because of the treasure chests I distributed during the live broadcast, became full again.

Gu Xi put a watermark on the picture and posted it on Weibo. Qixing Piaodeng was the big author she met on Weibo. He wrote ancient Chinese novels on the most popular novel website in China. In just two years, he had 70,000 loyal fans.

The three novels she wrote have all been published as physical books, and one of them has even signed the copyright for a TV series. When she asked Gu Xi to buy the cover, it was because she saw her drawings on Weibo. She appreciated the delicate and layered sense of story in her paintings, so she tried to make an appointment for the cover of the new book.

The cover cost only 300 yuan, and I commissioned the article with the attitude of giving it a try.

But I didn't expect to give her a surprise.

It just so happened that the third book needed a brand new cover, so she boldly commissioned the work. The requirements for this kind of cover would be higher. Qixing Piaodeng did not lower the price because she was a newcomer, but directly gave her the normal market price.

Now it has been proven that her vision was correct.

The cover of Three Daughters is so pretty!

Can't wait to see it in print!

.......

Because Gu Xi has been posting his paintings on Weibo, he has accumulated more than a thousand fans, most of whom are young people who love painting.

Since she seldom manages her Weibo account and her fans are not very active, she just put the watermarked drawing on it and didn't care about it anymore.

There are updates for mutual friends.

When I clicked on it, I found out it was Mrs. Qixingpiaodeng. She couldn’t help but show off the freshly baked cover and also @Gu Xi’s account.

Qixingpiaodeng V: Thanks to the artist @顾顾顾 for the beautiful cover, book fans are blessed~

Gu Xi liked the post, hid the previous post after returning, and reposted Qixinggoudeng's Weibo.

After finishing, she privately thanked the Seven-Star Lamp again for the free advertising space, then yawned and prepared to go to bed.

But seeing that there was still light on the bed opposite Xu Jingyan, she walked over and pulled open a corner of the bed curtain, and whispered: "Can't sleep?"

Xu Jingyan was slightly startled, turned around and said, "A little bit."

It was late at night and there was another person sleeping in the dormitory, so Gu Xi didn't say much.

Just said: "Go to bed early, I will tell you good news tomorrow."

Xu Jingyan: "..."

This is simply because you don't want her to sleep!

"What? Xiaoxi, can you tell me now?"
