The village beauty and me!

Zhao Jingjing raised her face arrogantly and said in a cold voice, "This is my first kiss, it's worth a fortune."

"You actually think you can just treat it as interest?"

"Don't overestimate your abilities."

Chen Huan pouted, "I'll just give it back to you."

After saying that, he immediately reached out and tried to kiss Zhao Jingjing.

Startled, Zhao Jingjing quickly dodged, saying, "Don't even try, I don't want you to kiss me."

"At worst, I'll owe you a favor and find a chance to repay you later!"

Chen Huan was just teasing her, and stopped immediately upon hearing this.

"Where are you going next?" Zhao Jingjing pushed her bicycle in front of the bank and continued to follow Chen Huan.

"Of course I'll go back to the village, there's nowhere else to go." Chen Huan crossed the road directly.

Zhao Jingjing crossed the road and said crisply, "Then give me a ride for a bit more, so I can hitch a ride."

"What do I owe you?" Chen Huan complained as he reached out and put Zhao Jingjing's bicycle into the truck bed.

Zhao Jingjing smiled slightly, "Isn't it enough that I owe you?"

After helping Zhao Jingjing into the car, Chen Huan started the car and drove off.

"By the way, you said you were set up and ended up owing money. What exactly happened?" Chen Huan turned around and asked loudly.

Zhao Jingjing's face immediately changed, and she stammered, "Don't ask about things in society."

As he spoke, his gaze swept across the truck bed.

Then I noticed the several exquisite paper bags placed next to me.

I casually flipped through it and found a wad of thin, soft black lace.

"What is it?" Zhao Jingjing muttered, then stretched it out, her face turning red.

He quickly threw the item back into the paper bag and shouted, "Chen Huan, you pervert, why did you buy so much underwear?"

Chen Huan was immediately embarrassed. "That's rude of you. How can you just rummage through other people's things like that?"

"I'm bringing these for other people in the village."

Zhao Jingjing snorted, "Well, you have great taste, you even wore sexy lingerie."

"You're such a show-off, you don't look serious at all."

Chen Huan gritted her teeth, "Seriously? Seriously? You're being chased by debt collectors who're practically at your doorstep."

"No wonder you dragged your feet when I asked you for the treatment fees, and it took you several installments to pay them off. So that's how hard you've been living."

"If it really doesn't work out, I'll return the money to you, so you won't have to resort to high-interest loans and blame me for it."

Zhao Jingjing got up, reached out and patted Chen Huan on the head through the edge of the truck bed, "Why are you so annoying? Why do you have to bring up the things you don't want to talk about?"

"I've just been having a run of bad luck lately, it won't last forever."

  

"That five hundred yuan was a reward from me, there's no reason for me to take it back."

Having said that, Zhao Jingjing had lost her confidence.

Then, pouting, she sighed and said, "Now I'm really broke. I haven't even been able to leave the house for such a long holiday."

Chen Huan casually replied, "Just ask your dad."

"Your family has plundered so much of the people's hard-earned money..."

Before Chen Huan could finish speaking, he was slapped on the head again.

"You've already ruined our family like this, how could I possibly ask my dad for money?"

"Besides, I'm all grown up now and can earn my own money."

"At worst, I'll go to town tomorrow and find a job or do odd jobs," Zhao Jingjing retorted, quite unconvinced.

Chen Huan snorted, "Want to wash dishes at a restaurant? If you're willing, I can recommend a place. It's just a matter of a word from an acquaintance."

"Chen Huan, are you looking for death?"

"I'm the first college student in our village, and I'm naturally beautiful. How could I possibly work as a dishwasher?"

Zhao Jingjing raised her hand as if to hit someone again.

Chen Huan deliberately drove the car over a shallow pothole, and the car body immediately shook and vibrated.

Zhao Jingjing screamed and quickly squatted down, no longer daring to hit people indiscriminately.

Chen Huan laughed heartily, "Behave yourself now?"

"If you keep showing off, I'll throw you into a ditch and show you what it means to fall headfirst."

For a long while afterward, Zhao Jingjing remained silent.

This made Chen Huan wonder if they had really fallen into the ditch.

I turned my head and saw that the girl was squatting in the truck bed, staring blankly into space.

Suddenly, Zhao Jingjing looked up and asked, "Chen Huan, what do you think about me working for you?"

Chen Huan's hand trembled, and he almost tumbled the tricycle into the ditch.

He then joked, "What?"

"I'm afraid it'll shorten my lifespan if you work for me."

"You're the village chief's daughter, a college student, for goodness' sake. It's beneath you to work for me."

Zhao Jingjing glanced at him. "It's precisely because I'm a female college student that you feel important working for you, isn't it?"

"I've noticed you've been making quite a bit of money lately. What kind of business are you in? How about I become your assistant?"

"This is popular among city business owners."

Chen Huan turned her head and continued teasing, "My dear Miss Zhao, do you really know anything or are you just pretending?"

"The mistresses that city bosses have are called 'little honeys.' They help with the work during the day and warm the bed at night."

"If you could do that, I'd reluctantly take you in, how about it?"

Zhao Jingjing gritted her teeth in anger, "So you just wanted my body, you filthy scoundrel, dream on!"

"I'll do the chores for you, but if you're going to want someone else to warm your bed, go find someone else."

Chen Huan knew that Zhao Jingjing was really short of money, which was why she had swallowed her pride and offered to work for him.

For some reason, after seeing Zhao Jingjing today, and learning about the village chief's daughter's predicament of being chased by debt collectors and even threatened with having nude photos taken, Chen Huan felt a little sorry for her.

There was no fundamental conflict between the two people, let alone hatred.

Now, Zhao Siming and his family are basically out of power in Lotus Village, and they pose no threat to Chen Huan whatsoever.

Therefore, Chen Huan's attitude towards Zhao Jingjing has subtly changed quite a bit.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "If you're really willing to work for me, I can give you a chance."

Zhao Jingjing immediately perked up, "Really?"

"Why are you suddenly being so kind?"

Chen Huan pouted and said, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean any harm."

"Just think about it, as the village chief's darling, she's now working for me. How impressive would that make me in the village?"

"Furthermore, your dad and brother will be furious when they find out about this."

"The angrier they get, the happier I feel."

Zhao Jingjing was so angry she wanted to hit someone again. She brandished her fist and said, "You've taken all the bamboo shoots from the mountain! It's outrageous!"

"Then would you be willing to work for me?" Chen Huan's tone carried a hint of threat.

"Yes, I'm willing!" Zhao Jingjing was truly broke. Even though she was seething with anger, she had no choice but to back down.

Then, she leaned over the edge of the truck bed, craning her neck to get closer to Chen Huan, and asked gently, "Boss Chen, how much would you pay me a day if I worked for you?"
