Chapter 1301: Chapter 575: Decent People Selling Decent Insurance (Part 2)

"Lin Li: Then you start learning first."

"Chen Yu Ying: ?"

"Lin Li: ?"

"Chen Yu Ying: I was just pretending to be angry earlier, but now I’m genuinely angry. You’re in trouble."

"Lin Li: After some serious thought, I think when you said you were pretending to be angry earlier, that was true. But now, saying you’re really angry is false."

"Chen Yu Ying: You’re quite smart, you got it all right."

"Lin Li: After all, I’ve been the top of the class three times in a row for exams."

"Lin Li: So can I have my medicine back, doctor?"

"Chen Yu Ying: ’Picture’, ’Picture’, ’Picture’."

"Lin Li: Slurp slurp~"

"Chen Yu Ying: Wishing you a speedy recovery~"

"Lin Li: Doctor! Wait!"

"Lin Li: I’ve suddenly realized I might not have low blood sugar, but might be poisoned. I probably need some affection to cure this. What should I do!"

"Chen Yu Ying: Sorry, online diagnosis does have certain biases; it’s unavoidable. Whether the symptom is correctly assessed this time or not, even if it is true, it’s a prescription drug. You still need to visit a hospital for a physical consultation."

"Lin Li: I’m going to question Jiujiu."

Group chat.

"Lin Li: @Qu Wanqiu! Show yourself!"

"Qu Wanqiu: ?"

"Lin Li: When are you done with the New Year greetings? Why do you take so long! Even the flowers at Old Jian’s might wilt waiting for you!"

"Qu Wanqiu: You’re just eager to go to Ying Bao’s house, right?"

"Qu Wanqiu: It’s happening soon. I’ve gone to my mom’s hometown, but I’m driving back tomorrow."

"Lin Li: Okay, then the day after tomorrow @Bai Bufan, @Ding Sihan"

"Chen Yu Ying: If it’s the day after tomorrow, what’s the plan? Do we go to the teacher’s house together first? Or start at my place?"

"Lin Li: Picking you up and then bringing you back together upstairs feels a bit weird. So, we should do New Year greetings at your place first, then in the afternoon or evening, head over to find Old Jian."

"Chen Yu Ying: Should everyone eat at my place?"

"Lin Li: Sure."

"Qu Wanqiu: I’m fine with that too."

"Chen Yu Ying: Then come in the afternoon, have dinner at my place, and visit the teacher’s house in the evening. If it’s uncomfortable, we can also go out to eat."

"Lin Li: All good, Old Jian is easygoing (seriously)."

After Ding Sihan and Bai Bufan also replied in the group, they agreed to meet up and have fun the day after tomorrow.

Once they’re out, there will definitely be many options. Whether it’s feeling bored at Chen Yu Ying’s house or at Xue Jian’s, they can easily find an excuse to leave early. With a car, heading out for food and entertainment is convenient.

The food ordered arrived, and his girlfriend proactively messaged him privately.

"Chen Yu Ying: What are you going to do this afternoon?"

"Lin Li: Looking for a job to support you."

"Chen Yu Ying: I’ve got hands and feet."

"Lin Li: I know, I know. Even if I can’t afford to support you in the future, you have hands and feet; you can run on your own, you told me before."

"Chen Yu Ying: Did I really say that? I’ve forgotten."

"Lin Li retracted a message."

"Lin Li: Then say it again."

"Chen Yu Ying: Not that boring. So what are you really doing this afternoon?"

"Lin Li: ’Chat record’, really going to job hunt. But I’m just looking for a small part-time gig for fun; it’s a bit of an experience. It won’t affect our plans, whether it’s the New Year greetings or going out later."

"Chen Yu Ying: Let me know the interview result later."

"Lin Li: Quite fast to accept this reality?! Isn’t it supposed to feel sudden and unreasonable?"

"Chen Yu Ying: Because it’s you~ Silly~"

"Lin Li: Please, darling, I’m begging you. Send me a voice clip of that, please (kneeling)."

"Chen Yu Ying: ’Voice clip’."

"Meh meh meh~"

Frustrated, Lin Li opened it only to hear that and realized he’d been tricked.

So cheeky.

After lunch, Lin Li asked Ms. Li and was informed she’s out delivering things and would be back later for dinner, probably arriving at the store around two in the afternoon.

Lin Li wasn’t in a rush to the auto repair shop. Instead, he rode his bicycle to catch up with his animal friends.

Not to mention, if the auto shop hired him, they’d never have to worry about car washing services again.

With a bit of cleverness, he could ensure Xiling’s vehicles receive angelic treatment.

Lin Li would even offer some advice.

Have white droppings birds go for black cars, black droppings birds for white cars. If the droppings are colorful, dry them and sell them as gems to classmates as collectibles.

Efficiency maximization is key.

This whole process would boost the car wash business, benefiting all the car wash shops in Xiling.

Too bad this can’t be written on a "resume".

By the way, Lin Li’s system panel has a task "Intimidate, prevent malicious harm to spirit beasts or at least three acts concerning spirit beast crimes".

So far, apart from completing one act on New Year’s Eve at Bai Bufan’s neighborhood, Lin Li also completed another act yesterday during the day around his home, again similar to preventing fireworks on stray cats, bringing the progress to (2/3).

Both were unexpectedly successful, whereas the efforts with cat squads and dog squads hadn’t yielded much.

When it was almost time, Lin Li decided not to keep Ms. Li waiting, and around two, rode his bike to the repair shop.

Generally, just before the new year is the busiest time for car wash and repair shops, implying wealthy returns home, but perhaps today was the shop’s reopening day; both the car wash and repair sections were busy.

After parking and taking a look around without seeing any women inside, Lin Li approached the staff busy repairing.

"Hello."

"Hmm?" The mechanic, fixing a car underneath, heard Lin Li, crawled out, looked at him, furrowed his brow slightly, and said rather plainly, "Not buying insurance, not collaborating, not acting as an agent, no sales pitch. Thanks."

"Haha, I’m not really selling insurance; it’s okay if you don’t buy, bro. I’m here for an interview. Is Ms. Li at the shop?"

Lin Li scratched his head, smiling.

The mechanic was puzzled.

"Hold on a bit." He put down his tool, slightly skeptical, asking Lin Li, "Really not an insurance salesman?"

"Definitely not selling insurance." Lin Li laughed aloud.

"Wait a moment." The vest-wearing man wiped his itchy forehead with the back of his hand, his expression dazed.

He walked to the shop entrance, glanced up, and somewhat insecurely asked Lin Li, who followed, "Dude, what kind of shop is this?"

"So the interview has started? Yes, it’s an auto repair shop." Lin Li replied.

"Right, it’s an auto repair shop," the man nodded, then turned to Lin Li, "Then... Buddy, isn’t it? Coming for an auto repair shop interview wearing a suit, tie, and carrying a briefcase? Really what for!?"

The man’s volume grew as his words escalated.

—At the moment, Lin Li was wearing a suit that fit perfectly, a tie, and even leather shoes.

No one would see someone like this walk into an auto shop and think they’re job-hunting.

That briefcase should be insurance sales material! ℴ

"Coming for an interview at the auto shop isn’t like this; you should dress more like those two!" The man pointed to a corner of the shop.

Lin Li followed the direction of the finger.

It was the two men sitting in the corner. Lin Li initially thought they were waiting customers, but now it seemed... they were interviewees like him.

The two were wearing regular casual clothes. Since Lin Li had entered the shop, they had been observing him.

At this moment, one of the guys gazed at Lin Li’s sophisticated suit with complexity, then glanced at his casual outfit, with a slightly bitter voice, "Buddy, no need to be so competitive, this... isn’t it a bit overdressed..."

Lin Li blinked.

"Alright,"

He didn’t respond to the guy but rather leaned towards the man beside him.

Seeing Lin Li had something to say, the man also leaned in closer.

"Lin Li: Really not buying insurance? Why not buy, buy one, please, man."

Man: "?"

"..."

"You said you weren’t selling insurance!!!!"
