Chapter 10: Kill That Gold-Digging Scammer 10
“Boss Wang, I’m not going to be an assistant. I plan to rest for a while before looking for a job.” Shen Wu rejected him directly.
The smile on Boss Wang’s face faded.
He leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and spoke leisurely, “Little Shen, you have no education and no background. Only here am I willing to give you such a high salary. If you go anywhere else, where would you find such high pay? You’d better think this through clearly.”
“I have already thought it through clearly.”
Boss Wang’s face darkened. “I asked you to be my assistant because I think highly of you. If you think it’s too little, I’ll add another thousand. Don’t be ungrateful.”
Shen Wu clicked his tongue in his heart. The wretched man is flying into a rage out of humiliation.
He stood up. “Thank you for your high regard, Boss, but I am unworthy of it. I just want to collect my half-month’s salary.”
Boss Wang sneered. “Salary? What salary? You haven’t even worked for a full month, where would you get a salary?”
Shen Wu’s face turned cold. What a shameless bastard.
“I worked for fifteen days. You should settle this half-month’s salary for me.”
“Unless you work a full month, there is no salary.”
“Boss Wang, if you’re going to say that, I can only make a complaint call to protect my rights.”
Boss Wang didn’t expect that Shen Wu, a country bumpkin from out of province, would have some legal awareness. After being threatened, his face turned even uglier.
But he was truly afraid of Shen Wu making a complaint. After a moment of silence, he abruptly stood up from the sofa and threw out a harsh remark that was completely painless to Shen Wu, “Fine, just don’t regret resigning.”
Regret my ass. Whoever loves doing this bullshit sales job can do it.

Hello had dedicated employee dormitories. Two people to a room, similar to a suite.
Outside, there was also a utility balcony with a fully automatic washing machine. Normally, washing one’s face and brushing teeth was done here on the balcony.
Next to it was a bathroom of a few square meters, installed with a showerhead. Bathing and using the toilet were both done inside, which was quite convenient.
Overall, except for not being able to cook, it could be considered a place where, although the sparrow is small, all its vital organs are present.
Shen Wu after getting his dorm key from the supervisor, prepared to return to the dorm to rest.
As a result, the door was locked from the inside.
Hesitating for a moment, he still chose to knock on the door. He couldn’t just stand in the corridor forever, right? Plus, it was quite hot.
“篤篤篤——” (Knock, knock, knock—)
…
After getting off work last night, Ran Min played games until the early hours of the morning again. He only started sleeping after eating breakfast.
Hearing the knock on the door, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows tightly.
Not fully awake, his head was still somewhat groggy.
He impatiently opened his eyes.
“Who is it?” With his morning grouchiness, his tone wasn’t very good.
Shen Wu’s hand, which was knocking on the door, paused. Even through the door, he could hear Ran Min’s impatience.
Realizing he had disturbed someone, he felt a bit embarrassed.
“The new roommate.”
The displeasure of being woken up made Ran Min’s entire body carry more resentment than a ghost.
He impatiently climbed out of bed, wore his slippers, and opened the door.
When his gaze fell on Shen Wu’s face, he froze for a moment.
Recovering his normalcy in an instant, he stepped aside, “You’re the new guy?”
Looking at Ran Min sporting a messy head of hair, Shen Wu understood that the guy was sleeping and had been woken up by him.
“You locked the door from the inside. I couldn’t open it, so I had no choice but to wake you up.”
Ran Min had been living here alone for over a month and was in the habit of locking the door from the inside. With hindsight, he remembered the supervisor telling him last night that a new roommate would be coming.
His gaze swept over Shen Wu, finally resting on Shen Wu’s face. He took a step back. “Come in.”
The air conditioning was on inside, blowing away the summer heat from Shen Wu’s body.
The curtains weren’t open, so the lighting was a bit dim. He surveyed the dorm.
The room was tidied up cleanly and neatly; there were no discarded socks or shoes, nor any strange smells. It was evident that Ran Min was a clean person.
This caused the heart Shen Wu had been suspending to relax by more than half.
Ran Min looked at him. “You can buy cotton wadding from the dorm manager downstairs. It’s a few bucks cheaper than what the supermarket sells.”
“Got it. Thank you.”
Ran Min gave an “Mm”, losing the intention to strike up a conversation with Shen Wu, and lay back down on the bed.
“Keep your movements quiet. I want to sleep.”
“Oh, okay.”
After putting down the bags in his hands, Shen Wu left the dorm.
The door closed with a bang.
Ran Min opened his eyes, glanced at the tightly shut door, and then closed his eyes again, rolling over in the process.
Shen Wu spent sixty yuan buying a cotton wadding mattress from the dorm manager downstairs.
After carrying it back to the dorm and making his bed, he tip-toed downstairs to the convenience store to buy toiletries.
By the time he finished unpacking, it was almost five o’clock.
Even though the AC was on in the dorm, going in and out to unpack his things had caused a fine layer of sweat to bead on Shen Wu’s forehead.
He took his pajamas and entered the bathroom.
The warm water washing over his body washed away some of his fatigue.
By the time he came out of the bathroom, Ran Min was already awake, leaning against the bed with lowered eyes, playing on his phone.
Hearing footsteps, he subconsciously turned his head and saw Shen Wu walking in with a yellow towel draped over his shoulder.
“You’re awake?” Shen Wu gave Ran Min a polite smile.
Having just taken a shower, Shen Wu’s entire body exuded a softness. When he smiled, he looked very well-behaved.
Ran Min’s expression didn’t change as he gave a faint “Mm”.
Shen Wu stepped forward. “Do you have a hairdryer?”
Ran Min lifted his eyelids and glanced at him. After a two-second pause, he got up from the bed, took a hairdryer out of the cabinet, and handed it to Shen Wu.
“Thank you.”
Shen Wu politely thanked him.
The two were very close. Shen Wu had a faint orange scent on him, sweet and sugary, continuously drilling into Ran Min’s nose.
Ran Min hated oranges.
He didn’t respond, and his face turned a bit colder.
Shen Wu didn’t mind either.
In his eyes, Ran Min was just a cool guy. What’s wrong with handsome people having a bit of a temper?
Besides, the guy was just cold on the outside and warm on the inside; he had even lent him a hairdryer.
After Shen Wu finished blow-drying his hair and returned the hairdryer to Ran Min, he sat on his own bed and looked at Ran Min opposite him.
“Roommate, what’s your name?”
Ran Min lifted his gaze from his phone screen. “Ran Min.”
Shen Wu gave an “Oh” and naturally replied, “My name is Shen Xingwu, you can call me Shen Wu.”
This time, Ran Min didn’t even lift his eyelids, just giving an “Mm”.
Shen Wu didn’t mind either, but he didn’t press his hot face against a cold butt anymore.
After setting his alarm, he lay on the bed, preparing to sleep for a while.
Ran Min didn’t turn up the volume on his phone while watching it.
The dorm returned to silence.
Shen Wu lay under the covers and quickly fell asleep.
After a long while, Ran Min finally lifted his eyelids and glanced at Shen Wu.
Shen Wu’s sleeping posture wasn’t very good.
His two legs clamped the quilt, and a small half of his face was also buried in the covers.
His shorts had ridden up slightly, and from Ran Min’s angle, he could even see the edge of Shen Wu’s underwear.
Black…
His gaze darkened before he slowly withdrew his line of sight.
Shen Wu slept very well this time.
So much so that when he woke up, he had the illusion of not knowing what day or year it was.
He lay on the bed in a daze for two minutes before his brain slowly booted up.
Translator’s Note: Shen Wu really knows how to stick up for himself against awful bosses! Glad he’s out of there. And hello to the new roommate, Ran Min. Hates oranges, but seems to be paying very close attention to Shen Wu’s sleeping habits. Let’s see how this develops!
