Chapter 22: Working as a foreigner
When Lin Guzhi told Yao Anxin that he was in urgent need of money and needed an advance of one month's salary, Yao Anxin gave the money to Lin Guzhi without hesitation.
The money in her bag was from the company. But after taking out thirty-five hundred-dollar bills, she went back to get her own money to make up the account. She did not advance the money to Lin Guzhi, as that was against the rules.
So the money given to Lin Guzhi was actually taken by Yao Anxin herself, but she didn't say it.
Yao Anxin didn't know what kind of urgent matter Lin Guzhi had, and didn't ask much. She just thought that Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi were dressed so raggedly before they came, and it was normal for them to be short of money and need it urgently.
But she didn't expect that after just one day of not seeing her, Xiaoxi would have a famous brand harmonica in her hand.
This brand of harmonica seems to cost at least two thousand yuan.
How could you afford to buy such an expensive harmonica when life was so tight?
Yao Anxin felt a little uncomfortable when seeing Lin Guzhi, but didn't say much.
She checked her household registration certificate, took out a short-term contract, and said to Lin Guzhi, "This is a temporary contract, take a look. The contract starts from yesterday and will last until the thief in this area is caught. If it is less than a month, the salary will be settled based on a month, and if it is more than a month, it will be settled based on the number of months worked.
"If you think it's okay, please sign the contract and your household registration certificate."
Lin Guzhi read the contract carefully and signed his name on it. However, when signing the household registration certificate, he also said: "Manager Yao, can you keep this household registration certificate for me to use? I need to apply for a mobile phone card tomorrow, but I don't have an ID card. Let's try to see if the household registration certificate can be used."
Yao Anxin asked in surprise: "Did you buy a mobile phone?"
Lin Guzhi replied: "I didn't buy it myself. Someone gave it to me. I will return it to them when I make enough money."
"That's it."
Yao Anxin nodded, thoughtfully.
I wonder if the harmonica in the little girl's hand was also given by someone else? Maybe it was, maybe not, but I shouldn't rush to define it.
Yao Anxin smiled at Lin Guzhi and said, "Okay, you sign first and I'll take a photo for your record. Tomorrow, after you get your mobile phone card, give me the household registration certificate when you come to work in the evening."
"Thank you."
Lin Guzhi had already signed the household registration certificate. Yao Anxin took out her phone, took a photo of the household registration certificate, and left.
"Manager Yao, I'll take you out."
Dong Xiaoduan stayed aside without saying a word until Yao Anxin left, then he jumped out and escorted Yao Anxin out of the warehouse.
"Manager Yao, take care."
The guy's flattering voice was heard in the lobby, and soon he followed in. He didn't know what was wrong with him, he was not only flattering Yao Anxin, but also flattering Lin Guzhi, "Brother, you should have a good rest tonight, I'll come to see you. I can't let you bear it all the time."
He slept all night last night and must have had enough rest during the day today, so he is very energetic now.
Lin Guzhi said: "No, I can do it. I'm used to staying up late at night."
Dong Xiaoduan said, "How can that be possible? It's really not appropriate to let you stay up all alone. How about this? I stay up for the first half of the night, and you stay up for the second half?"
Lin Guzhi now understood why Dong Xiaoduan was flattering her. He was actually making a small calculation.
The night shift runs from 8pm to 8am. Relatively speaking, the first half of the night is definitely easier to endure than the second half.
In this era of diverse entertainment, few adults can go to bed early. Some people are better and can go to bed at 9 or 10 o'clock, while others often stay up until late at night. If you stay up in the first half of the night, it means that you only need to stay up a little longer before you can change shifts.
Lin Guzhi was too lazy to listen to Dong Xiaoduan's calculations and said, "It's okay, I'll handle it. You take care of your rest. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else." "Oh, how can I do this?"
Dong Xiaoduan said this, but still accepted it reluctantly.
He ran out happily and bought a lot of snacks, two bottles of drinks and a pack of cigarettes, all of which he put on the table. He also brought a bottle of yogurt, which he stuffed into Xiaoxi's hand, and said, "I feel bad for letting you stay up all night alone. I bought some food, you can eat whatever you want, and some drinks. Here, little beauty, have a bottle of yogurt."
Xiaoxi didn't take it and pushed the yogurt back to Dong Xiaoduan.
Dong Xiaoduan jokingly said, "Why, little beauty, are you still afraid that I will poison you?"
Xiaoxi nodded and quickly ran to Lin Guzhi's side to hide.
Dong Xiaoduan: “…”
What on earth does this new colleague teach the kids? !
Xiaoxi didn't drink his yogurt after all. Lin Guzhi opened the drink that Dong Xiaoduan bought and took a sip.
Then they started to stay up late, and Xiaoxi was arranged by Lin Guzhi to go to bed. She held the harmonica in her hand, although she didn't play it, she just wanted to sleep with it.
Dong Xiaoduan was in no mood to tease Xiaoxi or talk to her tonight. He was too embarrassed to go to bed, so he said to Lin Guzhi, "Brother, why don't you take a rest for now? I'll watch for a while, and when I can't stand it anymore, we'll switch."
Lin Guzhi said: "It's okay, you can take a rest, there's nothing to do anyway."
Dong Xiaoduan said, "What if something happens? I heard that the store that was robbed last night was not the store on the street, but the frozen warehouse of a barbecue restaurant across the street. The big iron door of the warehouse was pried open directly, and the latch was bent. How strong must the thief be!"
"Is it?"
Lin Guzhi raised his eyebrows. The iron door of the cold storage should be very strong. How could an ordinary person do it? Even the strongest strongman would find it difficult to do it, right?
It's not me.
Where did that strong thief come from?
Dong Xiaoduan said, "So we should be careful. I'm going to go out for a walk and patrol now. If anything happens at night, wake me up immediately."
"Row."
Lin Guzhi nodded and agreed.
Dong Xiaoduan said this and walked out of the lobby.
He turned on the lights in the warehouse and walked around it, but unlike Lin Guzhi yesterday, he did not pay attention to the situation in the warehouse. He just took out his mobile phone and looked around as he walked.
"How strong must the thief be to pry open the cold storage door? If he comes here, won't I be in trouble? But I turned on the light, and the thief will not come when he sees that there are people here. He will definitely not come. There have been all these days, and the warehouse has been fine. I don't believe there will be any trouble tonight!"
He muttered, and opened the novel app on his phone to read. Yesterday, Lin Guzhi walked around the warehouse and looked at it so carefully, which he felt was unnecessary.
What's the point of looking so carefully? If a thief with such great strength really comes, can he stop him by just looking around?
So just pretend, why take it so seriously?
The novel is an urban novel, plagiarizing the daily routine of a nanny. The protagonist travels through time at the beginning and has a one-night stand with a drunk female star. The plot is simply nonsense, without any logic!
But it doesn't matter, he just watches it for entertainment and to kill time.
As he walked, he slid his phone across the screen, scrolling through pages of novels one after another. Dong Xiaoduan buried his head in his phone and walked to the innermost wall of the warehouse.
"Snapped!"
He was startled by the sudden sound of glass breaking above his head.
