Chapter 51: Part-Time Job

The black cat suddenly felt some regret.

If she had known these people were so unprofessional, she shouldn’t have agreed to work.

Although it wasn’t too late to back out now.

But she could leave…

What about Luo Yunzhi?

The other party owed so much money.

Should she tell her the truth?

Although that probably wouldn’t be good.

The black cat couldn’t help but hesitate.

She sighed silently.

“Just like that?”

“Just like that.”

Luo Yunzhi didn’t notice the black cat’s strange behavior.

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed as she pursed her lips.

“Your story is… really quite inexplicable.”

“Isn’t it? I think so too.”

Wang Jia’s lips curved into a smile on the other end of the phone.

“But what if I say this is the real truth of the world?”

The truth of the world?

The girl’s delicate eyebrows furrowed even deeper.

From childhood, she had received a materialist education.

So this kind of fantastical stuff…

“Read fewer novels in your daily life.”

Luo Yunzhi’s tone carried little emotion.

“You’re already such a big person, yet you’re still immersed in fantasies.”

Wang Jia’s mouth twitched.

What kind of talk was this!

“You don’t believe it one bit?”

“Is this worth believing?”

“Isn’t it worth believing?”

“Would it be worth it?”

After pausing for half a second, the girl was too lazy to argue with this woman anymore.

She instead opened her mouth.

“The story is over. Do you have anything else?”

“Uh, no more.”

Wang Jia’s words had just left her mouth when she followed up with, “So fast?”

Her hand froze in midair.

The phone transmitted beep beep beep sounds, indicating that the other party had already hung up.

Luo Yunzhi, this girl, didn’t want to waste any more words.

Wang Jia couldn’t help but feel helpless.

She shook her head.

“So, young people are just impatient.”

She got down from the chair and ran to the table to brew herself a cup of extra-strong coffee.

The woman stood by the windowsill, holding her coffee as she gazed at the pedestrians coming and going outside.

Her eyes slightly lifted, leaving only more troubles in their depths.

“Long-term education… how could they possibly accept it so easily?”

“Before seeing the truth with their own eyes, no matter what you say, it’s useless.”

She took a sip of coffee.

“Let’s just watch and see.”

“After they complete a few more tasks, they might be able to find some of the truth themselves.”

After all, when it came to things explored on one’s own.

People always believed in them deeply.

***

“Boring guy.”

The girl muttered.

She tossed the phone aside.

Luo Yunzhi rubbed the black cat’s fur with her hand.

“Little White, tell me, isn’t that woman way too idle?”

After all, if she wasn’t idle, why would someone specifically call to tell people stories?

And it was a fantasy story no one had ever heard before.

The black cat raised her little head.

She didn’t respond.

Luo Yunzhi actually didn’t believe it…

Thinking about it carefully, not believing was actually normal.

On the contrary, people who easily believed weren’t normal.

Before seeing it with their own eyes, those willing to believe could only be called what was commonly known as chuunibyou.

Bai Ziyu blinked her eyes and let out a soft meow.

She simply curled up her body, staying on the girl’s lap.

As for the matter of ‘yokai’, at least for now, she had no intention of mentioning it.

The black cat’s trust in Luo Yunzhi.

Wasn’t that high yet.

Perhaps not long from now…

Bai Ziyu didn’t know either.

It would be whenever it happened.

Because tomorrow and accidents, you never knew which would come first.

She opened her eyes, those deep pink pupils staring unfocused at the ground.

She also didn’t know what kind of expression the other party would have.

When she met the girl using a human body.

She couldn’t guess at all.

***

The next two days passed peacefully for both the cat and the human.

They woke up, ate breakfast, and went out together for walks around the area.

Then ate lunch, strolled some more, and then went home to eat dinner, rest, and sleep.

Although plain, it unexpectedly made people feel very fulfilled and at ease.

During this period, the annoying Wang Jia didn’t continue calling.

But today, whether she called or not wasn’t that important anymore.

Because they had already seen the person.

Right there in front of them.

“Yo, you’re here?”

“I’m here.”

Luo Yunzhi had already seen Wang Jia waving at them through the hospital’s glass window.

“I came to work to pay off my own debt.”

She reluctantly approached the hospital and sat down in the seat opposite the woman.

“So… my job… what do you plan to have me do?”

Wang Jia was currently crossing her legs while eating breakfast there.

She had a bun stuffed in her mouth and was holding her phone, watching a funny show and laughing foolishly nonstop.

Only after hearing the girl’s voice did she lift her head and open her mouth very casually.

“Job? Oh, you just need to be a front desk guide over there.”

She pointed to a spot not far away.

That place over there.

“Working hours are from eight in the morning to five in the evening, with weekends off.”

“Room and board are covered here at my place.”

Wang Jia said this with a hint of pride in her tone.

“And here, we have seven insurances and two funds.”

She switched to crossing her other leg.

“You can go out and take a look around. The benefits here are pretty good.”

Luo Yunzhi couldn’t help but feel surprised.

It really was the case.

She raised her head and couldn’t help but glance at the woman.

This job, compared to others, was undeniably good.

At least it was something she herself couldn’t find.

Could it be that she had misunderstood?

This Wang Jia wasn’t a black-hearted boss?

The girl bit her lip, expressing an apology for her previous speculation.

“Then what about the salary? How much is it?”

But Luo Yunzhi still didn’t forget to ask the most important question.

“It should also be higher than outside, right?”

Wang Jia heard this and lightly laughed.

She opened her mouth.

“Salary… I won’t tell you.”

She placed her finger vertically against her lips, making a shushing gesture.

“This is a huge secret.”

“……”

The girl merely responded with silence.

What kind of secret was this?

If she had to put it bluntly, it was probably that this woman named Wang Jia hadn’t figured it out yet.

Or perhaps she planned to make her work for free for half her life.

Luo Yunzhi planned to take back her previous words.

This Wang Jia was a thoroughly black-hearted boss.

In the entire world, no one was more black-hearted than her!

But the girl had no other choice.

Who made her owe money?

She forced two dry laughs, then turned around and ran straight to the front desk without looking back.

She turned her gaze elsewhere.

Too lazy to look at Wang Jia.

“Indeed, young people these days.”

Wang Jia shook her head with a laugh.

Then she turned her head.

“You’re here too?”

“Meow.”

I came.

The black cat sat on the tabletop.

At her feet was the woman’s unfinished breakfast.

She gently sniffed it, then slightly disgustedly pushed it aside with her paw.

After all, Bai Ziyu also had to work.

The reason Luo Yunzhi was willing to bring her along was because Wang Jia had said this also counted as an employee benefit.

The black cat’s meals could also be covered.

And there would be free physical examinations and treatment when sick…

The girl had agreed.

After all, although Wang Jia wasn’t much of a person.

Her medical skills in treatment were obvious to everyone.

Moreover, with herself watching, the woman couldn’t possibly do anything to her Little White.

Since there were free benefits available.

It would be a waste not to take them.
