NFBE Chapter 42: Wu You's Little Assistant Officially Launches.
Chapter 42: Wu You's Little Assistant Officially Launches.
The person who came to greet us was none other than ourselves.
It was Wu You who came from Lucheng with He Fan.
"Sister Fan? Oh, it really is you. I'm the one who found this car. I was so busy that I didn't recognize you."
He Fan asked teasingly, "What are you doing here? Did you come to my house for a part-time job?"
Wu You said with a grin.
"There wasn't much going on in the exhibition hall, so I thought I'd come and help out the uncles and aunties."
He Fan suppressed a laugh and joked, "Okay, let's do it. I'll pay you and the college students for the part-time job. It'll be 18 yuan an hour."
Wu You scratched his head: "Hehe, no need, Sister Fan, I'm just killing time anyway."
He Fan and Ji Anran waved goodbye.
He Jiao had already rushed into the inner room to snuggle up with Wang Jingfang.
After all, I haven't been home for almost half a month, so I'm a little homesick.
He Fan and Wu You remained standing in place.
Actually, He Fan quite liked Wu You.
Outgoing personality, generous, outspoken and decisive, with strong execution skills.
"Xiao You, when are you going back to Lucheng?" He Fan asked casually as they walked.
Wu You: "Sister Fan, I'll go back whenever you go back."
He Fan chuckled: "What if I stay on Ying Island?"
Wu You didn't hesitate and blurted it out.
“Then I’ll stay on Yingdao Island. Anyway, I don’t have a home or a business in Lucheng.”
"Hmm? Where are you from?" He Fan asked curiously.
Wu You was still smiling, but a fleeting look of melancholy crossed her eyes.
"No, my parents divorced when I was very young, and they each started their own families. I've lived with my grandmother ever since."
"The summer after I finished my college entrance exam, my grandma left me all her savings and jumped into the river."
"I didn't have a home then."
After saying that, Wu You waved his hand again.
She said casually, "Oh, Sister Fan, I almost forgot about it if you hadn't asked."
He Fan looked at Xiao You, who was pretending to be strong, and didn't ask any more questions.
After a moment of silence, he spoke again: "Would you like to be my assistant? Room and board included, monthly salary..."
"Um... 10? You can continue to list your part-time jobs in real estate and automobiles."
"But when I need to contact you, you must prioritize my needs?"
Wu You's heart started racing the moment she heard He Fan's first words.
Hearing the last part, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Sister Fan? You...you...I...I..."
After stammering a few words, he nodded repeatedly, as if afraid that He Fan would change his mind.
Without asking any further questions, he simply shouted in a strong voice, "Okay!"
He Fan: "......"
The system, which hadn't appeared all day, was now flashing garbled characters wildly in my mind.
System: Host!!! You have another woman outside? Aren't I enough for you? You actually want her to be your assistant.
System: What can a weak human like her, who is not well-developed in limbs and has a simple mind, do to help you?
He Fan: ...Go scroll through your Douyin (TikTok) videos, don't bother me with this nonsense.
System: Ahhh~ Should I leave then?
System: You've changed your mind? I'm no longer your favorite rich guy?
He Fan rolled his eyes and said: No, you will always be my one and only male god, my unchanging true love in this life. No one else can replace your place in my heart. You can continue scrolling through Douyin, don't flash anymore, you're going to kill my brain.
Hearing He Fan's words, the system went offline, satisfied.
Having finally managed to coax the wealthy man away, He Fan then turned his attention to Wu You.
Wu You's mind is probably even more confused now than it was just now...
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go in and help."
He Fan gently patted Wu You's head, gesturing for her to follow him into the house.
Wu You followed along eagerly.
That year, she had just been admitted to university when her grandmother fell ill.
She would rather jump into the river than beg her ungrateful son.
She knew that her grandmother felt that she had finally passed the exam and could escape her unhappy life.
To escape the fate of toiling in the fields and being bullied in the village, Grandma didn't want to be a burden to her.
She has lived alone for so many years; she is unfortunate, but she is certainly also fortunate.
Although she was abandoned, she had a grandmother who was wholeheartedly good to her.
I met a counselor who helped me apply for a scholarship when I was in school.
After graduation, I met a boss who allowed me to take on temporary positions and never deducted my commission.
Now she has met such a wonderful sister, Fan Jie.
Wu You believes that he must have done good deeds and accumulated merits in his previous life.
Otherwise, why would I have met so many helpful people in my life?
This internal monologue didn't last long before the peak customer season arrived.
He Fan and Wu You, along with He Jiao who had just started her vacation, were all extremely busy.
"Old He, quickly put up the umbrellas outside, it's going to rain."
Wang Jingfang was issuing orders from the cashier's counter inside the house.
Dark clouds slowly gathered, and the weather grew increasingly gloomy; it looked like it would rain soon.
He Chaoyue found several strong young men from the shop and hurriedly set up the tent.
The more it drizzles, the more tourists who come to the beach prefer to eat outside.
The weather, which had been unbearably hot, finally cooled down.
Everyone sat under the canopy of the food stall, enjoying fresh seafood, drinking beer, and feeling the sea breeze.
Chatting with family and friends while listening to the patter of rain creates a unique kind of memory.
It was still drizzling on and off until He Fan's family was about to go home.
Business was even better today than on a sunny day; everyone in the shop was incredibly busy.
Wu You drove the secondhand Alto back to the hotel; yes, it was Ji Anran's car.
At that time, Ji Anran asked their car dealership if they wanted to take back the car, and Wu You drove the car to the showroom.
The boss said she could drive here for free for two days, and after she left Yingdao, she could drive to the repair shop that their car dealership cooperated with.
He Fan and his family sat in the car, preparing to go home.
He Jiao felt a sense of novelty sitting in the new car her family had brought in, looking it over from left to right.
"This car looks so impressive, Mom! Is it finally our turn to get rich?"
He Jiao asked with a grin.
He Chaoyue straightened her back as soon as she heard her second daughter praising her car.
"Sit still, Dad will take you to splash water."
Wang Jingfang glared at He Chaoyue speechlessly. He was so old, yet he acted like a fool.
“What kind of wealth could our family possibly have? If your father and I had that kind of ability, we would have already provided you with a good life. This car was bought for your father by your sister.”
Although Wang Jingfang was saying that she was incompetent, her tone was very proud.
He Jiao looked at He Fan in surprise: "Sis? How much did you pay for this car?"
He Fan didn't say anything, he made a 3 with one hand and a 6 with the other.
"36? That's so expensive! You could buy a Mercedes or a BMW with that money." He Jiao shook her head regretfully.
"Boom!" Water splashed up from both car windows.
He Chaoyue stepped on the gas and sped through a puddle that was just above ankle height.
"Whoosh!" He Chaoyue exclaimed excitedly as she looked at the splash of water she had created.
"Look, honey, isn't it fun?"
He Fan and He Jiao were also very happy.
When they were little, their dad liked to take them out to splash around in the water. Every time the car sped up and splashed water, they would laugh heartily in the back seat.
Reliving the games I played as a child fills me with excitement.
"This is so much fun! Dad, there's more ahead!"
He Jiao clung to the back of the driver's seat like a monkey.
He Chaoyue snorted: "Even if I had it, I wouldn't have pressed it for you. Humph, I thought you knew your stuff."
"How could I not recognize its value?" He Jiao asked, puzzled.
Wang Jingfang found it amusing to look at He Jiao's bewildered expression: "Silly, you need to add another zero to 360,000."
He Jiao carefully added 0 to 360, and even double-checked in her mind before saying 36 million.
"No way??? 360 million?"
As she spoke, she looked at her parents and sister with eyes seeking confirmation.
Seeing everyone's serious expressions.
He Jiao yelled, "Are you done living? 360 million! That's enough to buy a house!!!"
Wang Jingfang has been showing off her eldest daughter to her neighbors so readily lately.
Hearing He Jiao's reaction, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Your sister got a promotion and even received a project bonus!"
Seeing her own mother's proud expression, He Jiao felt that her worldview was about to collapse.
"How much is the project bonus?"
"Besides, even if we had that much, we can't let you all use it to buy cars."
"My sister can buy a house in Xiamen and settle down there!"
"How could you do this? Is my sister's future more important than the car?"
As He Jiao spoke, her voice grew louder and more choked with emotion.
He Jiao was about to cry from anger. She felt that her parents favored boys over girls, otherwise they wouldn't have insisted on having a son.
But my parents are usually very good to me and my sister.
She felt that although her parents were biased, it wasn't nearly as serious as what was said online.
Today, it seems that it was even worse!
Her sister, a young girl, works hard alone in a city more than a thousand kilometers away.
They're using all the money they've worked so hard to earn to buy a car?
Does that mean her parents can just leech off her sister like this?
No! She disagreed! She had to stand up for that idiot He Fan!
