In fact, she was a bit confused. With Gu Ningxuan’s strength, he could easily compete in the cha Fighting Arena and earn tens or even hundreds of tis this salary every day. Why has it co to this?
Actually, she didn’t know that after Gu Ningxuan was expelled from Xilena, he did consider taking that route.
However, his father knew the embarrassing things his son did and was furious enough to warn the cha Fighting Arena, even notifying so underground arenas. If Gu Ningxuan didn’t want to be crippled by his own father, he could easily show up at those places to compete.
Oh, by the way, after being expelled from Xilena, his father also kicked him out of the house and froze his accounts. He had only a few changes of clothes and the cha given to him when he ca of age...
After all, their family had strict rules, and for a family mber to make such a mistake and not be exiled to a poor planet to fend for themselves was already rciful... At least he was still physically intact, able to support himself.
Even now, Gu Ningxuan is quite grateful to his father. For once, his father broke the principles he adhered to all his life, using his influence to pardon his son. Otherwise, given his cri, he would either be rotting in a cell or have taken a bullet to et King Yan. To avoid causing more trouble for his dad, he tried hard to keep a low profile.
The conditions Su Jiang offered were already excellent for Gu Ningxuan; at least he had a place to stay and wouldn’t starve. He didn’t think long before nodding in agreent. He felt a bit regretful; although the situation was strange, the job offer was pretty decent. But once those people threaten this person, he’ll be unemployed again, right?
Seeing him agree, Su Jiang relaxed a bit, stood up, and patted his shoulder, "I thought about it and decided that drafting a work contract would be safer. It’ll give you more peace of mind too. But preparing it will take so ti, it’ll probably be ready by tomorrow."
Actually, it was Su Jiang who felt uneasy. She thought to herself, such good talent would be a loss if accidentally gone. Better draft a contract, maybe even a ten or twenty-year one...
She showed Gu Ningxuan around the diner, explaining the basic job tasks and familiarizing him with the work environnt.
Suddenly, she rembered the lodging issue. Earlier, it was said that accommodation would be provided, "By the way, do you mind staying in a basent?"
Su Jiang’s training room was completed, and to make things convenient for herself, she made a small room on the second basent floor. Though small, it had all essentials and a private restroom, just right for this employee to stay.
As for whether letting a stranger stay at her ho is inappropriate...
Do you think the micro surveillance caras she installed at ho were just for fun? Besides, he’s working all day, only coming back at night, by which ti Changxi, Su Mo, and she herself will be ho. Even if he has ill intentions, he couldn’t make much trouble...
Gu Ningxuan shook his head expressionlessly. In fact, the new apartnt he found was also in a basent, so he’d gotten used to it.
"That’s good. Are you ready to move in now? I’ll have Changxi take you over and help you with your stuff." Su Jiang said with a smile, "As for work... um, let’s start tomorrow morning. It also gives you ti to gather your belongings."
Gu Ningxuan shook his head, "No need. I’ve got everything I need with . There’s nothing to pick up back there."
After another round of checking up on the store, she fiddled with a couple of malfunctioning robots, and Su Jiang took out a flyer planning to go ho. She said to Gu Ningxuan, "Hop on, I’ll take you there, otherwise you’ll get lost."
Looking at the flyer that could fit only two people, Gu Ningxuan’s mouth twitched. He really didn’t expect the mode of transport to be a flyer. Would taking the floating bus kill them? In silence, Gu Ningxuan hesitantly said, "How about... I drive instead?"
"No need, I can carry you," said Su Jiang, completely oblivious to his dilemma, as soone who didn’t differentiate between genders at all. Although he worried about her driving skills, he was more troubled by the posture...
Silently, he stepped onto the flyer and stood behind her, noticing that this girl with extraordinary virtual network skills was actually quite petite, shorter than the average girl. Gu Ningxuan thought Su Jiang was already in her twenties, just with a youthful appearance, only to realize she was only sixteen! After experiencing a ride by Su Jiang, Gu Ningxuan vowed never to want a second round.
She wasn’t flying that thing; she was playing with life or death! Taking the flyer onto a high-energy vehicle-only lane, did she really want to kill them both? After overtaking yet another car, Su Jiang finally made it ho.
"Co in, I’ll have Changxi buy so daily necessities after dinner... we don’t have anything a man might need here." Su Jiang opened the door and let Gu Ningxuan in, showing him around, explaining which areas were accessible and which were off-limits.
Recovering from the thrilling speed ride, Gu Ningxuan glanced around Su Jiang’s place, eyes flickering. He thought she ca from a rely affluent family, only to find out she owned a house right next to Xilena First Affiliated School High School...
Sitting in the evidently freshly arranged small room, he found the environnt far better than he had envisioned. The decor was very neat, showing no hint that this was ant to be a girl’s private space, and the bathroom was quite decent. (To be continued.
