Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Zhou Yuwen shrugged and said, "Sister Xinyi, take a seat here for a while. Once the matter outside is resolved, I'll have Lv Hui come to tell you what to do. I'll add you to the work group first."

"Oh, okay."

They added each other on WeChat.

Zhou Yuwen asked Jiang Xinyi to rest in the third red brick house, and he went alone to the middle red brick house.

This room was used by the previous boss for tea drinking, and it was quite simple, but Zhou Yuwen took it over and made some renovations.

Liu Shuo was there, idly sipping tea.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Yuwen rolled his eyes and said, "Weren't you supposed to comfort Lv Hui?"

Liu Shuo pouted, "Why should I? That dead woman doesn't even have the slightest clue."

Zhou Yuwen sat down in front of Liu Shuo and also poured himself a cup of tea, saying, "Don't call her a 'dead woman,' she is at least seven or eight years older than you."

"Seven or eight years, so what? Just because she's seven or eight years older, she can't be scolded?" Liu Shuo asked.

Zhou Yuwen urged Liu Shuo to tone it down a bit. "We've just started the Singles' Day event. The students are settling their daily payments with Lv Hui. If you chase her away, we'll have to reconnect everything again."

Liu Shuo said, "Brother, I am merely protecting your dignity."

"You are the top chair in our Xu Huai club. If I hadn't spoken up just now, if this gets out, everyone would think you're easy to bully. I know, Brother, you are easygoing, but some things, you just can't let go. She's just a working girl, no matter how old. If she can work, she works; if not, give her two hundred yuan and let her go. Damn it, she still dares to mess with me?" Liu Shuo said unabashedly.

Zhou Yuwen drank his tea in silence.

At that moment, Gao Yang entered the office where Zhou Yuwen and Liu Shuo were sitting and drinking tea.

Gao Yang was standing, and he said, "Brother Zhou, Brother Shuo, I spoke with Sister Hui, and she said she needs to come over and apologize to you."

"An apology is useful?" Liu Shuo scoffed.

Zhou Yuwen told Liu Shuo to say less, then told Gao Yang that an apology was unnecessary.

"It's just a small matter, and anyway, this thing wasn't so complicated to begin with."

"Take her to connect with Sister Xinyi. There's still half a month left for this part-time job; there will probably be more minor accounts later on. The two of them can share the load," he said.

"Alright, I'll go now."

Gao Yang nodded.

Liu Shuo still thought Zhou Yuwen was too kind. Shouldn't they dock her pay or something?

Zhou Yuwen said, "Give it a rest. It's a mere thousand yuan we are giving her, and now you want to dock that too?"

"What else is she here for if not for the pay?"

When Gao Yang went out, Lv Hui stood there looking aggrieved; she had indeed been somewhat bewildered by the scolding she received. What fairy is used to taking this kind of abuse?

But honestly, a fairy can take anyone's remedy, just not from a fawning dog.

After being scolded by Liu Shuo, Lv Hui's first thought was, "What a lousy job, I quit."

But then she thought again, considering she was currently short on cash and needed to pay her rent soon. Although a thousand yuan was a bit less, it could still cover emergencies.

Zhou Yuwen paying a thousand was indeed little, and basically, no one thought of staying long in this job. The treatment here wasn't bad, though: no commuting stress, no need for takeouts; just eat simply at the cafeteria every day. A thousand yuan, deducting 280 for sharing rent monthly, left her with 720, which was completely enough for Lv Hui's daily expenses.

Now, Lv Hui hadn't found a formal job yet, and actually, staying here was really not bad.

But she, a 25-year-old woman, was scolded by an 18-year-old boy, which was indeed hard to swallow.

At this moment of indecisiveness for Lv Hui, Gao Yang came running over. Seeing Lv Hui under the tree looking sad and upset, he sighed and said, "Sister Hui, it's my fault. I didn't tell you about Brother Zhou in advance, causing you to be scolded."

Lv Hui was silent for a while before asking, "So, who exactly is Zhou Yuwen? Wasn't it said that Liu Shuo is the boss?"

"Brother Shuo is the boss, but I forgot to tell you, we actually have two bosses here. Brother Shuo is the junior boss; Brother Zhou is the senior boss!"

It was hard to explain the whole thing; he couldn't just talk about Xu Huai club matters, as explaining that would make it seem like a mere local association.

"It's like this, Brother Zhou and Brother Shuo have been friends since high school. Brother Shuo has always followed Brother Zhou, and even though the courier station is managed by Brother Shuo, the money is put up by Brother Zhou."

"And Brother Zhou makes the big decisions."

"Brother Shuo is actually really easygoing."

"You can mess with him all you like, but if you say anything bad about Brother Zhou, he'll definitely turn on you."

"Ah, I should have told you this sooner," Gao Yang said regretfully.

Upon hearing this, Lv Hui had an epiphany, "So the real boss of the courier station is that surname Zhou?"

"Yes, that's right," Gao Yang replied.

But even so, she had only asked Zhou Yuwen to help her carry something; it was just a small courier station after all.

"That definitely isn't necessary. I reckon, if Brother Shuo weren't there, Brother Zhou, with his easygoing nature, would definitely have helped you carry it. But you shouldn't have talked to Brother Zhou like that in front of Brother Shuo. Brother Shuo, you know, he's a bit rough around the edges, values his loyalty. He felt like you talking to Brother Zhou that way was a slap in his face."

Upon hearing this, Lv Hui scoffed, saying, "How childish, still acting like this at their age?"

Gao Yang grimaced, "Ah, Sister Hui, you don't understand. Brother Zhou said earlier, he felt bad you had been upset, and said if you want to leave, it's okay, and told me to give you 200 yuan."
