Jiang Chen was speechless.

"Why do you say that? I have always been grateful to you."

"Hehe~"

Sun Mengjia snorted coldly.

"So, she's the good guy now? What am I in your parents' eyes? A tattooed, argumentative young woman who only knows how to fight and swear all day?"

Jiang Chen thought to himself, isn't that right?

Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't speak, Sun Mengjia's lips twitched again.

Come on!

Did I, a young, eccentric woman, eat your rice?

It seems they actually ate it.

That's fine.

Seeing that Sun Mengjia remained silent, Jiang Chen explained, "Xiaoxue, you don't need to pretend to be my girlfriend. Just say you're a friend. You don't need to pretend to be very sensible or outstanding, and you don't need to say you like me every day. Just be a normal person."

Sun Mengjia was speechless.

Holy crap!

"What do you mean? Am I not a normal person?"

"Why is it that she can get your parents' approval just by acting well, while I can't even do it despite working my ass off?"

Jiang Chen laughed: "I told you to act well back then, but you wouldn't."

"We have to be reasonable. Didn't I tell you to dye your hair black in the first place? Didn't I tell you to cover up your tattoos? Didn't I tell you not to be impulsive and not to swear?"

"You didn't listen to any of it, so who can you blame?"

"The key point is that your statement about you becoming a 'spiritual young woman' in front of my parents is problematic in itself."

"It's not that you became a 'socially conscious' girl in front of my parents; it's that you've always been a 'socially conscious' girl. You just didn't hide it well enough, so is it my fault?"

The woman with long, straight black hair, who hadn't said a word until now, couldn't help but add insult to injury: "That's right, Jiajia, we can't forget our roots."

"Fine, fine, fine." Sun Mengjia laughed in exasperation.

"I was trying to help you two out of kindness, and now I'm the one who looks like a clown, huh?"

The woman with long, straight black hair chuckled, "If you're not good enough, don't blame the road for being bumpy. I gave you a chance, but you didn't use it. Watch me next!"

The woman with long, straight black hair took a deep breath, instantly getting into the zone, her eyes becoming firm and clear: "So from now on, I'm a twenty-four-year-old striving young woman, shaking milk tea downstairs at my brother's company."

"No!" Jiang Chen quickly interrupted. "Don't make milk tea anymore. This job sounds a little less desirable. Although all jobs are equal, people have different levels of moral character. Most people, including myself and my parents, naturally feel that making milk tea isn't a good job."

"Although my job isn't great, I'm afraid if I show off my wealth now, my parents will think I'm not good enough for them if I say I want bubble tea."

"Since we've already done it, let's do the whole thing."

"Just say you're a colleague of mine, and as for your specific job... just say you're in human resources."

"You don't need to say a top-tier school, just a regular undergraduate university in your area will do."

"The rest will remain as your normal persona, nine parts truth and one part falsehood is the best."

Sun Mengjia was speechless.

"Someone like her is in HR? Does she even know where the HR door is? Aren't you afraid your parents will find out?"

Jiang Chen laughed: "Don't worry, my parents don't know either. Just say you're in charge of recruitment, resignations, and leave approvals, nothing more. After all, you're my colleague, not my girlfriend."

Jiang Chen parked the car on the side of the road and said carefully:

"Of course, you can also talk about how you worked part-time in college, making milk tea at Mixue. You can explain to them how to make milk tea. At least you're a professional at making milk tea, right?"

The woman with long, straight black hair nodded: "I know this very well."

"Or I could say I'm from Guangxi Normal University, and that I wanted to go to Guangxi Normal University when I was in school."

Jiang Chen smiled: "No problem, it's just right, not too good or too bad, just average is perfect."

Sun Mengjia's lips twitched.

"This is a complete scam!"

"You two, tell me, is this how you handle things?"

Long, straight black hair: "Losers have no right to speak!"

Sun Mengjia.

"What the hell!"

The woman with long, straight black hair completely ignored her, turned to look at Jiang Chen, and instantly switched to a sweet and obedient mode: "Don't worry, brother, I'll definitely act well and won't let you down~"

Watching the two of them sing in unison, Sun Mengjia was completely envious.

"Alright, alright, you two are a good match, you two are a couple, shall I leave?"

"No!"

Jiang Chen quickly grabbed her: "You're my official girlfriend, where are you going during the New Year?"

"If you really leave, my parents will probably beat me to death and say that I started this relationship and then abandoned it."

"Then, their attitude towards Xiaoxue will also change. They'll definitely think she's a homewrecker. Who wants their child to marry a mistress?"

"If you run away then, my parents won't like Xiaoxue, I'll not only be labeled a scumbag, but I'll also have to go on blind dates again. Wouldn't all my efforts have been for nothing?"

Jiang Chen sighed: "Are you just going to stand by and watch me go on a blind date with technician number 69?"

Of course, Lin Qianqian is easy to deal with; just say you don't like her, or simply say she's a technician.

His main fear was that Sun Mengjia would really leave.

Sun Mengjia wasn't short of money.

It's Chinese New Year now, and Lunar New Year's Eve is just around the corner.

She already had a bad relationship with her family, and her father hadn't even called her once in all these days. Where could she go if she left her own home?

It must be so lonely to be all alone during the Lunar New Year.

Moreover, if she really leaves, it means she's genuinely angry.

He wouldn't do something like letting Sun Mengjia leave just to have some peace and quiet during the New Year.

"I was wrong, so please don't leave."

Sun Mengjia snorted coldly and crossed her arms: "I can stay, but you have to give me a raise."

"How much will it increase?"

"Double it! It has to be at least another five hundred."

"make a deal!"

Jiang Chen laughed. He thought Sun Mengjia would ask for an exorbitant amount, but after all that trouble, it was only five hundred.

Sun Mengjia's eyes darted around, and she added, "Xiaoxue acted for you too, she can't just leave empty-handed. She makes three thousand a month making milk tea at Mixue, and now that you've switched careers to acting, shouldn't you add a little more?"

Jiang Chen thought for a moment: "I'll leave after the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, which is less than half a month. How about two thousand yuan?"

Sun Mengjia took Xiaoxue's hand: "Xiaoxue, let's go home. We're not going to put up with this stingy guy anymore."

Jiang Chen: "Two thousand five!"

Sun Mengjia: "You're not being sincere, old man."

Jiang Chen asked helplessly, "Then how much will you say?"

Just as Sun Mengjia was about to make an outrageous demand, the woman with long, straight black hair next to her suddenly spoke up.

She looked at Jiang Chen with eyes so tender they could melt your heart, and her voice was soft and sweet: "Jiajia, no need."

"I think Jiang Chen has already done a great job by providing me with food and lodging, taking me out for fancy meals, and buying me clothes."

"Asking for more wages would be too greedy."

"Besides..."

With her long, straight black hair lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and her voice was barely audible: "I actually liked Brother Jiang Chen too, it wasn't acting at all."

"I would be even more eager to create a better persona for myself so that Jiang Chen's parents would like me."

"I'm happy as long as I can help my brother, how could I take his money?"

hiss--

Jiang Chen couldn't help but shiver, goosebumps rising all over his body.

This tea ceremony! This level of understanding! This level of skill!

She's even more ruthless than Lin Qianqian.

Sun Mengjia's friend is quite something.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little wary of this girl with long, straight black hair tied in a high ponytail who looked so well-behaved.

At the same time, she was also wondering whether she should remind Sun Mengjia to stay away from her.

People who betray their friends anytime, anywhere are terrifying.

But at this point, this kind of person is very useful. Anyway, what's needed is an actor, so let her pretend to her heart's content since she's so good at it.

So Jiang Chen pretended to be excited and slapped his thigh, exclaiming, "Awesome!"

"Keep it up!"

"Let me tell you, my parents are into this kind of 'good girl' persona."

"Once you get home, just stay in this state, and I'll pay you five thousand in wages."

Sun Mengjia: Look at Jiang Chen, who is full of excitement, and then look at Xiao Xue, who is shy.

My whole body cracked open.

I helped you negotiate the price, and you betrayed me?

The problem is, I work myself to the bone and only earn a meager 1,000 yuan, while you, by a clever trick, offer me 5,000 yuan.

The clown is actually myself?
