Lu Yichen looked at Kang Xiaoqiao, who had a face full of anger. His deep-pool-like eyes flashed with a bright light. His attitude was the same as before, and his tone was indifferent. However, Kang Xiaoqiao could hear the gloating tone in his tone.
Lu Yichen said again, "What's wrong with you? I promised to let you pay back the money. Why aren't you happy?"
"Oh, I remember now. If you want to pay back the money, you have to have a job. Do you want to go to work?"
Then, he frowned and said, "If you want to go to work, just tell me directly. Why beat around the bush?"
"It's just that in the department, although we can arrange it, you know that there are only a few positions. There are many sister-in-law in the courtyard. We have to arrange the number first, and those families that are in trouble have to be arranged first. You have to allow me to mention this matter to the department."
Hearing this, Kang Xiaoqiao's face softened. She blinked her eyes and nodded obediently.
She did not lack that job. How much money could she earn from a job? There was almost no meat left for her to eat. What she needed now was time, time.
She had to seize the time to think of ways to earn money. Since Lu Yichen said so, she might as well go with the flow. However, what Lu Yichen said next almost choked Kang Xiaoqiao to death.
Lu Yichen saw that Kang Xiaoqiao nodded, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly. His eyes were full of smiles as he said, "Hey, I also know that you have a strong character. I can tell from the fact that you don't accept the living expenses that I give you. If I let you stay at home all day and have nothing to do while waiting for work to be arranged, I guess you won't feel good. I have a good idea."
What did he mean? Kang Xiaoqiao's mind was full of question marks. She blinked her big eyes, looked at Lu Yichen and said, "Are you that kind-hearted?"
Lu Yichen pursed his lips and continued, "Since you don't want to be idle and can't pay me back soon, then let's do it this way. I see that your culinary skills are pretty good. Take this money and treat it as food expenses. I want to be able to eat such delicious food every day. I'll leave this difficult task to you. If you have something to do, it will save you from having a guilty conscience."
Pfft, you f*cking have a guilty conscience. Your entire family has a guilty conscience.
Kang Xiaoqiao was instantly enraged. She glared at the sanctimonious brat in front of her and shouted, "Lu Yichen..."
Lu Yichen frowned when he heard this. He gently touched his ear and said, "Why are you shouting so loudly? I can hear you."
Kang Xiaoqiao was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said, "You Lu Yichen. Pfft, don't even think about it. I'm not going to be your cook. Don't even think about it. Hmph."
Lu Yichen wasn't angry. He looked at Kang Xiaoqiao as if she was an angry kitten. The more he looked at her, the more he found it interesting. He narrowed his eyes and took a sip of water. He said slowly, "Someone said that she wanted to return the money. I'm thinking of you. Why don't you return the money now?"
Kang Xiaoqiao was so angry that she immediately stood up. She glared at Lu Yichen and said fiercely, "Lu Yichen, you, you..."
Lu Yichen spread his hands innocently. That meant that she was the one who wanted to return the money. Weren't you able to do it? Wasn't she very capable? Then why did she ask for the money?
Ha, she actually dared to refuse him. She really had a lot of guts.
Kang Xiaoqiao was angry for a long time. She glared at Lu Yichen and said, "Lu Yichen, you are a man. You are not a gentleman."
Lu Yichen was unmoved and said, "I am thinking for you. Don't bite Lu Dongbin and not recognize the kindness of others."
Kang Xiaoqiao gritted her teeth and said, "What? A little man is so petty. Humph."
Lu Yichen's face turned black when he heard that. He said coldly, "What did you say?"
Kang Xiaoqiao looked at Lu Yichen's dangerous eyes and could not help but swallow her saliva. Forget it, why bother to lower herself to his level? Just cook. She originally wanted to cook something delicious.
Kang Xiaoqiao rolled her eyes and thought to herself, since he is so eager, then I will let him have his way.
No matter how powerful she was, she had to recognize the reality. The reality was that she was unfamiliar with this place and only had an acquaintance in front of her. From the looks of it, he could be considered reliable. It had always been others who wanted to take advantage of her. Now, for the first time, someone was begging her to take advantage of him. This feeling...
Why did it feel like she was being forced to do something? This passive feeling was really annoying.
Uh...
If Zhao Xiulan found out about Kang Xiaoqiao's thoughts, she would probably be furious. She was thinking of ways to gain economic power, but her man just pretended to be dumb and ignored her, not to mention cooking something delicious.
The living expenses given to her were calculated meticulously. Looking at Kang Xiaoqiao, she wouldn't even accept a pole. This person was infuriating.
Of course, this person's experience was different. Their realms were different, so there was a difference in their horizons. Kang Xiaoqiao really didn't want to cause trouble for herself because of this small amount of money in front of her. She had lived an open and aboveboard life all her life. She was never willing to owe anyone a favor, especially men.
But now, she was forced to bend over for this small amount of money. It would be strange if she was happy.
Thus, she glared at Lu Yichen and said, "It's nothing. I said, I'll cook. When the time comes, don't regret it."
Then, she reached out to pick up the money on the table and counted it. She pouted and looked at Lu Yichen and said, "Since you want me to cook, then I'll decide what to eat. What I cook, you eat."
After saying that, she raised her small chin and looked at Lu Yichen proudly.
Seeing that Kang Xiaoqiao had given in, Lu Yichen's expression softened and he nodded slightly. He could see clearly that this girl was also a foodie. For this braised pork to be able to cook to such an extent, it meant that her skills were superior. She definitely did not only know how to cook such a dish.
With Kang Xiaoqiao's level, no matter what she did, it would definitely be better than the food in the canteen. It was rare to meet an expert in cooking. For the sake of his stomach, he would let her go.
Kang Xiaoqiao saw that Lu Yichen had agreed, so she narrowed her eyes. After her long eyelashes trembled, she said a bunch of things that she wanted in one breath.
The more Lu Yichen listened, the more he frowned. Forget about the pots, pans, and cooking utensils, this girl was just gesturing and drawing a sketch.
Lu Yichen took the sketch, which was covered with lines, and looked at Kang Xiaoqiao with a frown. He said coldly, "Is this the simple stove that you said?"
Kang Xiaoqiao's face was not red and her heart was not beating. She blinked her eyes and said with dissatisfaction, "It's a little bad, but the conditions are tough now. There's no other way. Let's make do with it."
Lu Yichen's eyes twitched when he heard that. This was called bad? Then there was nothing good.
So he narrowed his eyes and picked up the design drawing again. He placed it in front of him and looked at it carefully before saying, "The drawing is not bad, but who taught you this?"
It was not that Lu Yichen had never been to Kang Xiaoqiao's house, but he was not particular about it. It was no different from a normal civilian's house. But what was this girl thinking? Every day was strange.
In the past, she was a strange person, but now she was strange in everything she did.
