Richard looked around and saw Gwen not coming out, so he asked: "Where is Gwen? Is she not at home?"
"Oh, Gwen," Jessica said, "I went to school and haven't come back yet."
Richard subconsciously glanced at the wall clock on the wall. The hour hand had just passed the four o'clock position. He remembered that Gwen's school should have ended at three o'clock. She should have been home by now, right?
Seeming to see through his doubts, Jessica immediately explained: "Oh, during the few days you were away, Gwen joined the school's percussion band. You know, some extracurricular activities to enrich her spare time. So she will come back for a while.
It has to be a little later. But usually she will be back around 4:30."
"Oh, that's right." Richard nodded to express understanding.
This is also appropriate. After all, children of Gwen's age should participate in more club activities. Being a superhero is tiring, dangerous and makes no money. If you delay your youth for this side job, it will not be worth the gain.
....
...Well, wait a minute, something is wrong.
By the way, since it's only after four o'clock, what is Jessica doing at home instead of going to work?
Richard suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Jessica with a strange expression that was half a smile but not a smile, which only made her feel guilty inside.
"I'm talking about Jessica," he said with a smile, "Is the clock at home a little slow? Why do I seem to feel that there is still more than an hour before get off work time?"
Jessica's heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, it is a blessing or a curse that cannot be avoided. From the moment the boss walked in, her heart felt cold. She just kept holding on to the luck that the boss was not aware of this problem... In the end, she still did not escape.
She smiled awkwardly: "Ah, then... maybe something is wrong, it's very strange..."
"Oh, then you see why the watch I just bought last month has something wrong with it?" Richard still sneered.
"...Boss, I'm actually working overtime at home to catch up on the manuscript."
"Oh, that's right. Can you show me how the manuscript is going?"
"The manuscript... is still in the conception stage..."
Idea? Haha, why didn’t you say that the grass was eaten by the cow?
Richard's smile quickly disappeared: "This month's bonus is gone too."
Hehe, you dare to skip work while I'm not around?
I happened to catch you today. Who knew you had been having sex for a few days before?
Jessica: "..."
Boss, how about we discuss it... Can I just sell myself to you now to pay off the debt?
...
Gwen didn't get home until nearly five o'clock. Everyone was here, and Richard walked into the kitchen and started to prepare dinner. He opened the refrigerator door to check what ingredients were there, and found that there were only chicken breasts in the refrigerator. Chicken breasts
and chicken breasts…
Richard looked confused: "Why are they all chicken breasts?"
Jessica was weak: "Boss, you don't know something. Our life has been really difficult since you left. We ate black pepper chicken breast for more than a week and almost vomited...
"
Gwen on the side pursed her lips in embarrassment: "But...but I can really only do this..."
Are you blaming me for not being able to cook?
What should I do if I can only do this...(poor.jpg)
As soon as Richard heard this, he roughly figured out how the two girls spent the past week. Naturally, he cast a look of disdain on Jessica again...
He didn't say anything yet. Jessica just looked at him and quickly understood. She pointed at herself and said, "Isn't it embarrassing that I'm such a big man and I still don't know how to cook?"
Richard nodded slightly.
Well, a child can be taught, doesn’t he learn very quickly?
That's the truth. You're such a big man, and you have to rely on an underage girl to solve your food problems these days. How can you be so picky?
But seeing that there were no ingredients in the refrigerator, no matter how awesome Richard was, he couldn't conjure up dinner out of thin air. After all, his plug-in was Ultraman and not Fatty Blue, otherwise he would just take out a tablecloth or something from his pocket and wipe the floor.
A table full of Manchu and Han people can be transformed into a table.
After ordering this, he didn’t want to go out to buy groceries or anything else. So Richard waved his hand and said, let’s go to a restaurant today!
Anyway, Lu Dan is very generous, and he made a lot of extra money during this trip, so why not just treat him to a guest, and treat it as a bonus from the landlord.
Richard took his two tenants, one large and one small, to a restaurant he usually patronized - of course, it was also a Chinese-owned restaurant. Anyway, his two tenants didn't seem to be familiar with these Chinese-style recipes.
, so he symbolically asked for their opinions, and then ordered the dishes according to his own wishes.
The food in this restaurant tastes quite good, and a few people were really hungry, so they all had a great time eating.
After having a full meal, Richard got up and went to the counter to pay the bill. Since he and the restaurant proprietress were already familiar neighbors, he took out the banknotes and handed them to the boss and did not leave immediately. Instead, he simply exchanged greetings and started the family business.
As a result, Jessica appeared from behind: "Boss, I'll pay the bill."
Jessica has been doing a lot of homework recently. Through special research, she found that her boss is not only Chinese, but also maintains a Chinese-leaning lifestyle including diet. She heard that Chinese people have to talk to each other after eating.
It's polite to rush to pay the bill, but in fact it's usually just a show, and after a lot of fighting, the real owner will still pay the bill.
Even if you say this, you still have to follow the procedures that need to be followed.
Unexpectedly, when Richard heard this, he immediately took back the notes that had been handed to the landlady, and said with a smile: "Really? That's good, you do it, you do it...
....”
Jessica: “@#%!*￥%”
Uncle Li! Sure enough, everything said on the Internet is a lie!
Did you agree to compete with each other? Where are your Chinese fine traditions?
It's amazing how much money can be snatched back from someone else's hand. Jessica suddenly felt that her boss's moral integrity was completely shattered.
Richard looked at Jessica who was frozen in place with a smile, and finally decided to be a good person and settle the bill.
Hehe, who doesn’t know that your wallet is so shabby that you can’t even open the pot, so you’re the only one who still imitates others and grabs the bill?
Okay, if you rob it, I won’t rob it...
Fortunately, Richard didn't embarrass her too much in the end. After all, as the boss and landlord, he was the one who knew best about Jessica's financial situation. If he really tricked her into paying the bills again, then the girl might not really have to redeem herself.
Debt paid off...
After leaving the restaurant and walking down the street, Jessica still looked gloomy. Gwen looked for a topic to enlighten her for a while, but nothing improved.
Don't ask, asking is autistic.
Sure enough, poverty is the only original sin in this world. Without money, Pepsi will fail...
