Chapter 1377: Chapter 874:
Initially, she just hoped to find a job as a transition, so both parties signed a six-month contract, but only after joining did she realize it wasn’t that simple.
Originally, it was agreed that she would only be responsible for teaching, but after joining, she found out that not only did she have to handle teaching tasks, but also clean, serve tea, and the most terrifying thing, she had to actively go out to distribute leaflets to recruit students.
Every month, she must recruit at least 15 new students, otherwise, she could only receive a base salary of 800 yuan.
For such a small organization, this is almost an impossible task.
She had no experience, and for two consecutive months was unable to recruit enough new students, so she wanted to resign. But at this time Boss Huang took out the contract, demanding she pay a penalty of 50,000 yuan.
If she did not pay, she would either have to earn a meager 800 yuan a month while working tirelessly, or engage in borderline live streaming to earn back the 50,000 yuan penalty.
It was at that moment she realized she was duped. A sister from a nearby institution, feeling sorry for her, secretly told her that this Boss Huang is no good, specifically targeting female college students with no social experience or background, and she’s not the first.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao let out a cold laugh. He had no interest in playing the hero, but as the Deputy Director of the Rongcheng Patrol Division, upholding justice was his duty.
In his district, he would never allow such arrogance to manifest.
After finishing her tale, Su Tingting wiped her tears away and stood up, "Mr. Chu, I’m leaving now. I’m going to the train station to buy a ticket, you must be careful of the dream I mentioned."
"Sit down." Yang Xiao pointed to the seat opposite.
Su Tingting sat down obediently as Yang Xiao left alone, heading to the order counter to order two meal sets. Dawn was approaching, and indeed, he was a bit hungry.
When the food was delivered, Yang Xiao signaled Su Tingting to eat first. Earlier, he had already heard this girl’s stomach rumbling.
Noticing Yang Xiao’s serious expression, Su Tingting lowered her head and ate quietly. To be honest, when Yang Xiao got serious, she was somewhat afraid.
"You eat first. After eating, I’ll take you to rest. A friend of mine owns a scenario store that’s short-staffed. Go and have a look; if you find the environment suitable, you can stay and help me, alright?" Yang Xiao’s attitude was extremely amicable.
Su Tingting still had salad dressing at the corner of her mouth, her brows furrowed, "But..."
"There’s nothing to worry about, I have a friend who knows this Boss Huang, he will talk to him. The matter will be resolved very pleasantly." Yang Xiao displayed a comforting smile, "Rest assured."
Clearly, Su Tingting was skeptical, but Yang Xiao wasn’t inclined to explain further to her. After they finished eating, Yang Xiao drove, bringing along Su Tingting, and didn’t forget to pick up Sui, then the three headed to a hotel near the Lin’an Patrol Office.
They booked two double rooms, Yang Xiao shared one with Su Tingting, and Sui Chengguo stayed in another room by himself, with the two rooms being adjacent.
Before entering the room, to avoid any misunderstanding with Sui, Yang Xiao looked at him earnestly and said, "Sui, I need to verify something, you understand, right?"
"Understood." Sui nodded solemnly.
Yang Xiao had barely relaxed before Sui leaned over, speaking in a hushed tone, "I don’t know anything, and I didn’t see anything. I promise to keep quiet regarding Miss Tong."
Yang Xiao: "Um... I mean there’s no need to go that far, but just don’t say anything anyway."
Yang Xiao naturally had no devious thoughts. Not to mention he didn’t have any, even if he did, it was dispelled. Last time, he was almost dead on the spot when confused by Chi Dan’s ability, and saved by a good sister clutching his heart.
Lying on the bed, Su Tingting blinked her eyes and looked at Yang Xiao sitting on the other bed with his back against the pillow, asking softly, "Mr. Chu, aren’t you going to sleep?"
"I’m not sleeping. I’ll watch you sleep, you don’t have to worry about nightmares this time, I’ll be here with you." Yang Xiao gave Su Tingting a reassuring look.
"Mr. Chu, you really are a good person." Su Tingting was genuinely moved from the bottom of her heart.
"Alright, enough chit-chat, just go to sleep." Yang Xiao urged sternly.
"Okay." Su Tingting dared not look anymore, retracting her gaze and closing her eyes.
After all, with Yang Xiao there, she only took off her outerwear and shoes, lay flat on the bed, covered with the quilt, with both hands placed together on her lower abdomen, sleeping peacefully like a person laid in a coffin at a memorial service.
Seeing Su Tingting finally quiet, Yang Xiao also sighed in relief, as he had his own plan.
He planned that once Su Tingting fell asleep, if she should dream again and enter the haunted mansion, he might be able to tag along and see what’s going on.
The Hundred Demons Coffin Clothes on him also had a very special ability, which was to invade the dreams of people nearby, even the Nightmare World could be invaded.
In no time, with Yang Xiao’s guard, Su Tingting gradually drifted off into dreamland.
"Hoo—"
"Whew—"
"Hoo—"
"Whew—"
Yang Xiao: "..."
He didn’t expect that a girl who appeared so quiet would snore so loudly and uniquely.
But he thought she must have been extremely tired; the recent ghost dreams had surely left her physically and mentally exhausted, and it wasn’t until Yang Xiao appeared that she felt safe enough to sleep comfortably.
Flipping his wrist, the Human Bone Staff appeared in his hand. In his perception, there was almost no spiritual power fluctuation on the nearby Su Tingting.
On the way over, Yang Xiao had asked, in these past two to three years, whether she had received a Ghost Script again or entered the Nightmare World.
Su Tingting replied that they had entered once in the middle, but this time the mission’s difficulty was much lower than the last time with Yang Xiao, and she met a really nice sister. Together, they managed to escape successfully.
