Adored by Him: My Blissful Days as the Girl Next Door-Chapter 384 - 383: Work Accident Fines

Peng Hui wiped her mouth with a tissue and discussed with Zhao Meimei: "Anyway, we’re getting paid tomorrow, let’s not work here next month. I asked Wang Lina and the others, they’re all planning to quit. This crappy school, paying too little and always causing trouble. These old geezers think we’re college students, think we’re easy to bully, and squeeze us dry!"

Zhao Meimei hesitated: "But we barely survived the internship period, just started earning class fees, isn’t quitting now not worth it?"

Peng Hui hesitated a bit: "Are you planning to keep working here then?"

Zhao Meimei thought about it and said: "Why don’t we wait till tomorrow after we get paid, then decide? And even if we decide to quit, we have to wait till after the new year, they won’t let us leave immediately."

Peng Hui picked a piece of tofu puff with chopsticks and blew on it: "Alright, I calculated, I should get fifteen hundred and seven, how about you?"

Zhao Meimei smiled: "I’m definitely getting more than you, I calculated it myself, sixteen hundred and thirty, and I haven’t even counted tomorrow’s class time yet."

Peng Hui exclaimed: "Really? You’re getting more than me; wait till tomorrow I’m definitely going to treat you to a meal."

Zhao Meimei happily agreed: "Alright."

Peng Hui commented while chewing on her tofu puff: "Hey, do you think we’re crazy? Normally, ten or eight bucks wouldn’t bother me, but now we calculate every bit closely, missing even one can make us heartbroken."

Zhao Meimei nodded in agreement: "I’m the same! Without working officially, I never knew how hard earning money is. Now I feel much more for my brother, he’s managed to build his career to where it is today, it must not have been easy, thinking about it makes my heart ache for him."

Peng Hui teased: "Hey, hey, what are you flaunting!"

Zhao Meimei said: "My brother’s so outstanding, do I need to flaunt?"

Peng Hui: "Yeah, your brother’s indeed a rich and handsome guy, but bragging about him to a single like me isn’t flaunting then what is it?"

Zhao Meimei said: "That’s enough! Stop being sour with me! Who doesn’t know you have a long queue of potential boyfriend candidates lining up behind you!"

Zhao Meimei slurped the fragrant spicy soup of the hot pot: "I’ve always only had my brother, anyone who’s after me got turned down with just a word from me."

Zhao Meimei always sat straight as a pole when discussing this matter, her devotion to Shi Yang almost reached the ideology of a revolutionary martyr defending the nation.

Peng Hui said: "I haven’t really dated either, they’re all pursuing me persistently, wanting to be with me, but I haven’t agreed to any."

Zhao Meimei hinted: "Well, the big guy doesn’t count, does he? Anyway, all he does is take you home after school, drop you off at school, occasionally send you some flirting glances."

"Oh please! What do you mean?" Peng Hui widened her eyes: "Zhao Meimei, you spy on me!"

Zhao Meimei laughed triumphantly: "No need to spy on you! You two holding hands, hugging waists so openly, I didn’t even want to look, but you guys just had to flaunt in front of me! Hahaha!!"

Peng Hui’s face was flushed, she laughed and cursed: "Zhao Meimei, you’re so annoying!"

Returning home at night, Zhao Meimei rarely felt idle, with only half a day of classes tomorrow morning, she’d assign homework, lead a cleaning, and wait to get paid and have a vacation.

Arriving home, Zhao Meimei went straight into the bathroom, scrubbed herself squeaky clean from head to toe, ensuring every nook and cranny smelled nice, feeling satisfied, she started putting on makeup in front of the mirror.

When Shi Yang entered the house, he saw Zhao Meimei wearing an off-the-shoulder lace nightgown, showing off her slender legs, with a flowery plaid apron while bringing out dishes from the kitchen.

The scene was warm yet alluring, it left Shi Yang momentarily stunned.

Zhao Meimei placed the dish on the dining table, turned around to greet him: "Brother! You’re back! Hurry, wash your hands, time to eat!"

Shi Yang’s suitcase fell to the ground as he rushed to catch Zhao Meimei, hugging her tightly, giving her a kiss, then raised his head and sniffed: "Had a bath? Are you trying to make me eat food or eat you?"

Zhao Meimei giggled, hugging Shi Yang’s neck: "Eat first, then eat me."

Shi Yang smiled and kissed her again: "Alright, whatever you say, eat first, then eat you."

When coming back from school, Zhao Meimei passed by the Sichuan restaurant outside the community, directly ordered three meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, packed them up to bring home, heated them in the microwave, even packed the rice from the restaurant.

Even so, when Shi Yang received the rice Zhao Meimei served him, he found it more delicious than usual.

Shi Yang asked Zhao Meimei: "Why are you in such a good mood today?"

Zhao Meimei grinned: "Brother, our school’s paying tomorrow."

Shi Yang: "Oh wow, really! Great news! This is the first bucket of gold in my baby’s life!"

Zhao Meimei said proudly: "Brother, I just started earning money, only holiday jobs. This doesn’t count; when I graduate from college and work officially, that’s when I’ll truly be self-sufficient. When that time comes, whatever you want, I’ll buy it for you with the money I earn, no objections."

Shi Yang couldn’t be more pleased, feeling both gratified and sweet. His precious darling, earning money and thinking about buying him gifts in the future, it was just too endearing and lovable.

The next day at school, Zhao Meimei assigned homework, diligently led students in cleaning, and officially started her vacation.

The director sent someone to notify all teachers to go to the finance office to collect their salaries.

Zhao Meimei was overwhelmed with excitement, thinking of receiving her reward, her mood couldn’t be restrained.

The finance office handled the salaries seriously, the money was placed in envelopes with wage slips inside, every penny clearly noted.

Zhao Meimei joyfully received her envelope, her hand trembled while opening it, feeling both tense and expectant, like checking exam scores.

Peng Hui checked her salary and asked Zhao Meimei: "Hey, Meimei, how much did you get? I got one thousand five hundred and seven, exactly what I calculated."

Zhao Meimei pulled out her payslip, glanced at the actual salary, and froze; it was just over thirteen hundred, exactly three hundred less than she had budgeted.

Zhao Meimei hurriedly asked the finance staff: "Sis, there’s a mistake with the money, my salary amount is wrong!"

The finance staff, uninterested, replied: "Isn’t it clearly written on the wage slip? Can’t you calculate?"

Looking closer, Zhao Meimei realized there was a line in the middle of the wage slip labeled ’Work incident fine, three hundred yuan.’

Work incident?

Zhao Meimei’s big eyes widened even more. When did this work incident happen to her? Come on, what does this mean!
