Chapter 1: Market Abuse

  Chapter 1: The Market's Cruel Encounter

  It's summer vacation, I asked my aunt to help me find a summer job, otherwise there will be no tuition fees when school starts. Early in the morning, before I even got out of bed, the phone rang.

  "Hello, is it Xue Er?"

  Yes indeed

  "I'm your aunt, I have some good news to tell you, I've found a job for you. It's at the villa of my boss, Mrs. Ruan, in Tanbin Garden by the sea. Only the young master lives there, he likes quietness and has driven away all the servants. Mrs. Ruan is worried that he won't take care of himself, so she's been looking for someone to take care of him. I'll send you the address, go tomorrow morning." My aunt was always in a hurry, she didn't even wait for me to respond before hanging up the phone.

  Since I was in school, I have been eating fast food outside, it's been a long time since I had delicious food made by myself. After being woken up by my aunt's phone call this morning, I got out of bed and rode my bike to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. The smelly smell of the market made people feel sick, and the crowd was bustling with people coming and going.

  "Boss, I want this fish," I said, pointing to the fish with my hand. Wait, why are there two voices? Whose big hand is this? I looked up and wow, what a handsome face, what a beautiful figure.

  "Boss, give me that fish." Sounds really arrogant.

  "That fish" I came back to myself, and it was actually the one I had been eyeing. "Boss, this is the fish I was looking at first."

  。”

  "Boss, I'll give you double the price for this fish." How can this person be so overbearing.

  "Is having money all it takes? Boss, I was the first to spot this fish, and I won't let anyone else have it."

  "As long as your price is higher than his, I'll sell it to you. If you don't have the money, then don't waste my time." The boss said loudly.

  "Who says I don't have money? There are people who do business like this, only looking at money and not justice."

  "Justice is worth a few stinky coins, since you have money, other fish are yours for the picking."

  The boss actually sold the fish to that guy. Look at him walking away with a smug expression. "I'm not buying this fish, it's got round eyes, humph."

  After finishing, I rode my bike to the front to see other fish stalls, but none of them were as good as that fish just now. It seems that I won't be able to eat steamed Fujian fish today. The guy from earlier has ruined my mood, and now I'm wandering around the market, not knowing what to eat.

  "It smells so good, what is it?" I followed the delicious smell and found out it was a fragrant fried egg yolk roll. I've had mom make egg rolls for me before, might as well try making some myself. Time to take action, go buy ingredients for egg rolls!

  Pork, onions, spices, eggs and so on, I've bought so much already, what else is missing? Hmm, go buy some fruits again, make fruit juice in the afternoon, play while snacking and drinking fruit juice, haha, it's too blissful.

  Man, when you're having a bad day, everything goes wrong. As I came out of the fruit shop, there were eggs all over the floor. The stuff on the ground looked so familiar, my bike... uh, this handsome face looks so familiar too! "Hey, is it you who knocked over my bike? Quickly compensate me for my eggs." The fish I bought hadn't even been settled with yet, and now they're smashing my eggs. "Hey, stop right there!" That guy helped me pick up the stuff and was about to leave, but I grabbed his clothes.

  "Let go!" he shouted in a loud voice, tall and handsome but completely unreasonable, and still so fierce.

  "He smashed my eggs and wanted to leave, but it's not that easy. He yelled at me and said he wants me to compensate him for mental damage fees, time loss fees, personal dignity loss fees, saliva loss fees... That guy pushed me away and said 'Are you done yet? It's just a few eggs.' Then he left."

  "Waaah~~~~, just a few eggs, and I spent three bucks on them too! Running into you today is the worst luck I've had in eight lifetimes." Today, I didn't have any appetite for food at all.
