"I'm so miserable!"

Liu Qingling verbally refused, but she was truly in despair.

Imagine a poor food delivery worker who finally gets a windfall of 100,000 yuan, thinking he can change his fate with this money and find a stable job. But instead, he is not only scammed out of all his money, but also falls victim to a pyramid scheme and ends up with a mountain of debt.

Miserable!

That's absolutely terrible!

"My pen, where's my pen?"

What do you need a pen for?

I'm going to write the word "misery" on your thigh!

Xu Yi stared intently at Liu Qingling's long, fair legs, his face serious.

Well!

What a pity!

The weather was a bit chilly, and Liu Qingling wasn't dressed lightly, which hindered his calligraphy creation!

"Don't cry, tell me the address, I'll go and meet them."

Xu Yi said calmly.

Distracted by Xu Yi, Liu Qingling was feeling better.

For some reason, as soon as Xu Yi appeared, she immediately felt like she had a pillar of support and wasn't so desperate anymore.

Although she and Xu Yi Yiping met by chance and had no real understanding of each other, she felt a sense of trust, like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Moreover, despite Xu Yi's somewhat eccentric personality, he's actually a genuinely kind person. Otherwise, why would he give away 100,000 yuan to someone for no reason?

That's 100,000!

Having lived in the city for a long time, Liu Qingling had long since realized that despite the city dwellers' elegant appearance, very few of them actually had savings; most were burdened with debt.

Their address...

Xu Yi memorized the location, looked up, and almost lost his temper.

Good heavens, this pyramid scheme organization actually rented a luxury office building in the city center, a prime location with a commanding view and excellent feng shui.

Why is your pyramid scheme so extravagant? No wonder Liu Qingling was fooled.

Who wouldn't be confused in a place like this?

"The company is like my home, I must love it; the Boss is like my parents, I work to earn money to support them!"

"The moment you open your eyes, the competition begins; you complain and whine, your life becomes decadent!"

"Our 9:30 Company is the most energetic company ever! As long as you work for the Boss, owning a motorhome is not a dream!"

"Strive! Fight! Strive! Fight!"

At the entrance of the pyramid scheme company, dozens of people were shouting slogans in unison to rhythmic music.

Looking at this strange scene, Xu Yi realized that he had misunderstood Liu Qingling too much.

"..."

Working at such a dynamic company definitely deserves to be paid for!

Pay my ass!

This isn't just paying to work, it's burning your life!

Listen to this, is this even human language?

The Boss is like your parents; should you earn money to spend on the Boss?

Such outrageous pyramid scheme slogans, yet no one seems to find anything wrong with them; instead, everyone seems incredibly excited.

It's a miracle that Liu Qingling was able to realize she'd been tricked!

Back by the roadside, Xu Yi found that Liu Qingling had already started to Ge You Lie.

That's so inelegant!

How can a beautiful woman Ge You Lie? Even if she's going to lie down, she should be lying on my lap!

Xu Yi grabbed Liu Qingling and booked a room nearby. Ignoring the waiter's suggestive gaze, Xu Yi took the room card and swiped it to enter the elevator.

"Uh-huh!"

Xu Yi opened the door, looked at the enormous double bed, and felt heartbroken.

"The world is going to the dogs! The quality of service has declined drastically!"

"What's wrong?"

Liu Qingling looked around the room with a puzzled expression. It seemed quite nice, with everything she could want.

"If I hadn't said I wanted a double bed, wouldn't they have arranged one? Aren't you just forcing me to be taken advantage of?"

[Negative emotions +100]

Am I the one who should be taken advantage of?

Liu Qingling's face flushed slightly.

"Should we be able to change rooms?"

Liu Qingling said softly.

She had been so badly hurt before that she didn't even realize she had been dragged into Hotel.

They're alone together, a man and a woman, what if he does something?

"Change rooms? No need, my legs hurt, I can't walk!"

Xu Yi said, quickly closing the door and hanging up a "Do Not Disturb" sign.

A moment later.

The sound of a shower coming from the bathroom.

Don't get me wrong, nothing happened, otherwise you'd have to wait at least an hour or two to take a shower!

What?

Some people say it's an exaggeration, that it couldn't have taken that long?

That's so pitiful, I should go buy some sleeping pills!

Xu Yi was obviously referring to a midday nap, not something like... embarrassment.

Liu Qingling took a shower, wrapped herself in a large nightgown, and came out completely uncovered.

On a sweltering day, you feel like you're covered in sweat, as if you've been pickled and fermented.

Aren't you hot?

Xu Yi remained silent.

If he really had any ideas, what use would a tattered nightgown be?

"Xu Yi, thank you. Without you, I really don't know what I would have done today. I might have jumped off a building..."

"Waaaaah!"

As Liu Qingling spoke, she was touched upon a painful memory and began to cry again.

After leaving last time, she was thinking that she would definitely thank Xu Yi properly once she made money. Little did she know that before she could even enjoy the good days, she would get herself into trouble.

Xu Yi poured her a glass of hot water and helped her sit down on the sofa by the French windows.

"Drink some hot water to calm yourself down."

Liu Qingling nodded, her delicate lips touching the water glass as she sipped the hot water like a kitten.

Xu Yi took the opportunity to ask for more details about what happened, especially about the pyramid scheme company.

You wouldn't know unless you asked, and what you found out was quite shocking.

This isn't just a pyramid scheme, it's downright deadly!

Let them keep making trouble; who knows how much chaos they'll cause.

Holding her water glass, Liu Qingling recalled the past few days and burst into tears again.

Don't be afraid, I'm right here.

"Waaah... I'm not scared, I'm just heartbroken about losing my 100,000 yuan."

Xu Yi remained silent.

This girl is really obsessed with money. She's lucky to have escaped with her life, how can she still be so ungrateful?

"There's plenty of money. You should rest for a bit. Come on, lie down properly, close your eyes, be good."

"Hmm? You won't do anything reckless, will you? Never mind, if it's you, I can make do!"

Liu Qingling said with a hint of dejection.

What kind of talk is that?

Make do?

Am I any good enough to work with?

Xu Yi snorted, adopting Tong Nan's noble demeanor, and made no move to offend Liu Qingling.

Really not going to commit this?

Hmm... You can make a mistake, but only a tiny one. Take Chenghua Avenue... Ugh, I'm switching channels again!

After accepting her fate, Liu Qingling became even more adorable, reminding Xu Yi of when they first met.

Liu Qingling was in a similar predicament when she was delivering food, except that she was locked to the fence of the residential complex.

"Xu Yi, I'm hungry."

Liu Qingling suddenly opened her eyes, looking at Xu Yi with teary eyes.

"Could you at least let me have a decent meal before we get anything done?"

That's it, this girl is completely desperate. She's willing to sell herself for a meal!

"Take a nap first, and when you wake up, you can eat whatever you want."

With that, Xu Yi forced her to go to sleep, then turned and walked out.

This is outrageous!

If we don't take down this Pyramid Scheme Group today, he's not a Xu!

Um?

This ideology is brilliant!

Should I change my surname to Huang? I don't think Abstract Sister Huang Lu would refuse, right?
