Chapter 29: The Kind-Hearted Boss

  Three days have passed, and Meng Jun has been working at Suo Jin Lou for three days. It's likely because she was introduced by the boss that everyone is being very polite to her. She doesn't have to work too much, but her salary is not low at all, sometimes even higher than others. Moreover, since they know she's a high school student who will be taking the college entrance exam soon, they specially allow her to come to work in the afternoons. This way, Meng Jun can attend classes in the morning. The teachers' important lectures are usually in the mornings, so it's really a case of not neglecting either study or work.

  In response, Meng Jun felt a surge of gratitude, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. No matter how she looked at An Zhuo Ping, he seemed like a complete spoiled brat. Was there some kind of ulterior motive behind his actions?

  Even if she thought so in her heart, Meng Jun could only grit her teeth and do it. As the saying goes, "When under someone's roof, one must lower their head." For her father's medical expenses, she had no choice but to do so, just being more careful on her own.

  That afternoon, after class was dismissed, Meng Jun hastily walked out, but was called back by Du Xinran.

  "Meng Jun, wait a minute. This is what my brother asked me to give you." Du Xinran had a card tightly clenched in her palm, she opened Meng Jun's hand and solemnly placed the card in her palm.

  "Oh, okay, I don't want it. My current job is great, my boss is very nice and takes good care of me, paying me 4,000 yuan every month, plus bonuses, which is more than enough! Aunt's health isn't good, you guys need the money too, so just take it back!" Meng Jun hastily returned the card to Du Xinran's hand.

  "Meng Jun, you take it! This is the extra money I earned, specifically for you. My mom's condition has been stable recently, and she doesn't need to do dialysis as frequently." Du Xinran pushed the card back again. Her brother had been working overtime for over half a month, and she didn't know what specific job he did, only that he took on two extra jobs besides his main one because of the guilt he felt towards Meng Jun. These past few days, her brother looked haggard, and this morning, he solemnly entrusted her with this task, making her feel the weight of responsibility on her shoulders was immense. Her brother's and Meng Jun's happiness depended entirely on that card, so she had to hand it over to Meng Jun today.

  "But gladly..." Meng Jun was about to push the card back, she vaguely guessed that Du Mingfeng must have been working hard to make money these past few days. She still remembered what she said to him that night, at the time she was worried about her father's illness, but now thinking about it, wasn't it a bit too hurtful to his heart? After that day, he only came to the hospital to see her father twice, both times after 8 pm, and both times he was in a hurry. She saw that he had become much more haggard, she wanted to ask him about his recent situation, but he asked her with concern how she had been recently, his tone was so caring, but his eyes were evasive, she didn't know what he was avoiding. And naturally, she didn't want to tell him that she was working in a place like the entertainment city.

  "Meng Jun, if you still love your brother, then please accept it!" Du Xinran once again solemnly placed the card in Meng Jun's hand.

  Meng Jun saw that a crystal clear thing flashed through Du Xinran's eyes, and her heart was suddenly tightened. Yes, for the feelings she had with Du Mingfeng over the years, for the affection of the Du siblings towards her, she should have accepted it. Just temporarily keep it, don't use it, wait for an opportunity to return it later.

  "Meng Jun, you're really great. Don't worry and go to work, I'll help you remember the content that the teachers taught." Du Xinran felt extremely happy about Meng Jun's acceptance.

  "Oh, by the way, has Zhang Yue been bothering you these days?" Meng Jun suddenly remembered that Zhang Yue who always bullied people. If it weren't for that overbearing girl, she and Xin Ran wouldn't have encountered those little thugs after school that day, and they wouldn't have run into that damned two-faced man either.

  "No, she seems to have been absent from school for many days too." Xiran's tone was very light and cheerful.

  "That's good, I'm relieved then." After bidding farewell to Xin Ran, Meng Jun took the bus directly to Suo Jin Wine House for work.

  "Anzi, how did you sneak into this wine tower again? Don't go to the entertainment city?" Mu Xingchen stabilized that fashionable Range Rover, got out and asked in their usual tone.

  "Entertainment City, wine house, now the old master has handed everything over to me! Xingchen, from now on you just focus on coming and going, and make sure to spend lavishly, we have plenty of things." An Shuo Ping couldn't help but think of Mu Xingchen's furious expression that day at Dongzhu Entertainment City and felt like laughing.

  "What kind of evil idea have you come up with again?" Mu Xingchen looked at him and smiled, but something didn't feel right.

  "Alright! Don't be so petty-minded, or you'll end up being a loner." An Shuo Ping put away his smile and patted Mu Xingchen's shoulder as they headed towards the VIP lounge. The little gong in this guy's heart was ringing loudly, the good show is about to begin!

  Lin Tao quietly followed behind the two of them, his intuition telling him that An Shuo Ping was definitely up to something.
