Chapter 1829: Chapter 756: Green Tea

"Boss, I really can go without salary for now. You’ve been so good to us~"

"Yeah, yeah, we all know the business hasn’t been great recently. We’re willing to stick with you and Mr. Yang through the tough times..."

After last month’s salaries were paid, several girls responsible for sales were in tears blocking the desk, refusing to leave, and even clamoring to return their money.

Zhou Wang could only sigh, wondering why fresh graduates are the most coveted human resources—so naive and easily fooled...

Of course, Zhou Wang hadn’t deceived them, just offered salaries above the benchmark with benefits exceeding the standard, which, in today’s exploitative era, was enough to make them deeply grateful.

Hmm, there might even be someone wanting to offer their body in gratitude...

Since there were two girls from the ’00s generation among them, the jokes they made with him regularly exceeded boundaries. With Zhou Wang’s current level, getting them into bed was probably as easy as eating and drinking.

But it mainly relied on modeling skills, something that most people couldn’t imitate.

After finally sending off the reluctant girls and spending a substantial amount on salaries, Zhou Wang checked the [Reversing Balance] again.

...

[Current Charge: 103%]

...

And as the charge reached the reward benchmark, a treasure chest emitting white light appeared on the other end of the [Balance], indicating it was in an openable state.

But Zhou Wang felt it wasn’t enough.

When he first acquired the [Balance], Zhou Wang noticed that the timing for opening the treasure chest was entirely under his control—the more charged it was, the greater the reward when opened.

This meant that as long as Zhou Wang had the courage, he could wait until the brink of bankruptcy to open the chest, thus maximizing the reward.

"Brother Dog, what on earth are you thinking..."

"Haozi, do you trust me?"

Knowing he couldn’t evade anymore, Zhou Wang looked calmly at the anxious Yang Hao.

"Uh, of course I trust you, but..."

"Then just leave it to me."

Zhou Wang patted his shoulder, "I already have a plan, I just need a little more time. You don’t need to do anything, just keep the store running daily, leave the rest to me, okay?"

Yang Hao opened his mouth, having many doubts in his heart, but ultimately nodded.

At this moment, Zhou Wang was increasingly grateful he had called Yang Hao for help, as his partner, only he would trust him unconditionally.

"Wait and see."

Zhou Wang smiled, "Let the bullets fly for a while longer."

...

A few days later.

"Xiaoxi, thank you for coming out with me today. Are you sure it won’t affect your new job?"

While riding in a taxi, the ponytailed, fully made-up girl hugged another girl’s arm, laughing.

"Of course... it will have an impact."

Ji Xiaoxi wore a simple dress, her cheeks clean, with only a touch of light lipstick, and just by sitting together, made the elaborately dressed Xu Wanting fade into insignificance.

But Xu Wanting had long gotten used to it and didn’t mind... after all, when the gap is large enough, it’s hard for people to feel jealous.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoxi rolled her eyes slightly, somewhat disdainfully said, "As an intern, taking leave during my first week at work isn’t good. Why didn’t you ask me out over the weekend?"

"You know my lousy job, it’s the busiest time on weekends. There’s absolutely no chance for rest... mainly because I’m inexperienced. When I become the station manager, watch how I handle those foxy vixens!"

Xu Wanting said indignantly.

As a graduate from an ordinary medical university, Xu Wanting’s current job is working as a nurse at a hospital in Qin Island, with shifts adjusting over time. Weekends, as popular rest times, don’t fall to her.

Ji Xiaoxi, who had decided to settle on Qin Island, recently found a new job working as an administrative staff at a company specializing in beauty products. She occasionally models when needed, and the salary is fairly decent, but can’t compare to her time at Wuyou Media.

Xu Wanting was rather confused about this:

"Xiaoxi, you really want to give up your big influencer status? Earning hundreds of thousands a month, and you’re still so young, you could work a few more years, save enough money and then ’retire’!"

"I’m just a bit tired, I want to take a break. The work now is pretty good, and nobody knows me... What do I need so much money for, as long as it’s enough!"

Ji Xiaoxi smiled and shook her head, not caring too much.

"Are the people in your company blind? How can someone as beautiful as you be unknown, they haven’t dug out your identity..."

"It’s not that exaggerated!"

Ji Xiaoxi glared, "There’s a big difference between influencers and celebrities. Besides, my skin’s good, but I’m not that pretty."

"Heavens, if that’s not pretty, then what’s left for us ordinary girls?"

Xu Wanting said smoothly, "Even Chen He, such a handsome guy, is totally smitten by you..."

Halfway through speaking, Xu Wanting realized her slip, quickly stopped, and nervously glanced at Ji Xiaoxi.

Indeed, Ji Xiaoxi went into a daze, staring at the scenery flying past outside the car window, silent for a long time.

"Sorry, Xiaoxi, I didn’t mean to..."

"It’s okay, it’s got nothing to do with Chen He’s name. I’ve moved on a long time ago."
