Back to the prime of life

Chapter 79 Love Over the Line
Zuo Shuya was a highly educated person, so it was not difficult for Lu Changge to talk to her, and she understood.

"There are probably very few people like you who enjoy reading so many books these days."

"I have a lot of free time."

This is just one reason. Another equally crucial reason is that young people today like to watch idol dramas, variety shows, and various entertainment news, but they really have no interest in them.

There is no good or bad, or superior or inferior. Every age group has its own preferences. He also liked watching idol dramas when he was a teenager.

As for social news or international news, he knows all the big ones, and it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t know the small ones.

So what do you do with all that time?

In the end, he found that reading some books that he didn't want to read or didn't have time to read before was a good choice.

"Who wrote that book?"

"Nietzsche."

"I'll read it when I have time. I've already finished reading 'Of Human Bondage'."

Lu Changge said: "You are not suitable for that, it is too pessimistic and boring."

"It's really not good. I don't know how you can endure it, I just chewed my tongue. I remember the hero liked quite a lot of girls, three, right? Can a man really like multiple women?"

Lu Changge could tell that she was referring to her ex-husband, but he did not answer this question.

Of course, not answering is actually an answer, because he said that he didn't want to say anything that was not in line with his true heart.

"At least you don't hide it." Zuo Shuya said finally.

"The human heart is like the sun, you can't look directly at it. Let's drink."

They sat outside for about an hour, and although the red wine wasn't intoxicating, they were a little tipsy.

Zuo Shuya felt that her emotions were gradually becoming difficult to maintain tonight.
The main reason is that I made money. Before, when I had no money, the only goal was to make money, and all my emotions were suppressed. Now it’s different.

In the end, when she couldn't hold it in any longer, she started crying. And it wasn't the kind of soft sobbing, but loud crying. It felt like all the suffering and grievances she had endured during this period of time burst out.

She cried so heart-wrenchingly and loudly that Lu Changge was a little at a loss. He knew women well, but he didn't expect Zuo Shuya to do such a thing in the end.

Seeing her in so much pain, he couldn't just turn around and leave. Not only that, he comforted her, and finally, when they sat on the sofa in the living room, he lent her his shoulder.

After about twenty minutes, she finally stopped crying, probably because she was tired. She sobbed and said to Lu Changge, "I'm sorry, I really couldn't help it."

"Tired of crying?"

"No, I remembered you saying that life is hard and you should blame others instead of yourself. Now I blame my ex-husband. Thinking about it, I stopped crying."

Lu Changge gave her two more pieces of paper and said, "You can cry today, but don't cry when you see your ex-husband next time."

"Well, definitely not." She nodded several times.

"Wipe it off. I'll be back soon."

"Wait a minute." Zuo Shuya called him as he just stood up.

"What's wrong?" Lu Changge saw her with tears in her eyes, looking fragile.

She said nothing, but walked over to him silently, hugged him with her clumsy movements, and then turned around and said, "Go away."

"Go to bed early."

Lu Changge looked at her back and actually didn't know what to say. He felt that whatever he said at this time might be wrong.

After the door opened with a click, there was another bang, and everything returned to silence.

After she calmed down and regained her rationality, Zuo Shuya closed her eyes in annoyance again. She had heard people say before that one should not make decisions when angry and should not make promises when happy.

She was in an unstable mood today and eventually she overstepped her bounds.

After returning to the dormitory, Lu Changge tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Of course he was thinking about Zuo Shuya, and he was also considering who to look for if he wanted to recruit another person.

When he first started looking for two people, one to record videos and one to watch the store, he later found a way to capitalize on the situation and hired one person. Now, with the increasing number of visitors, Zuo Shuya alone is a bit too much to handle. However, finding another person's job is actually quite simple; it's just a matter of responding promptly to product inquiries.

Basically, any normal person can do the job, so gaining his trust is actually a more important factor. But who does he know in Jiangzhou who makes him feel at ease?

They are the roommates in dormitory 308 and some of the people who come from them.

However, this kind of store-watching work takes up a lot of time. You can't do it when you want to, and not do it when you don't want to, nor can you just leave it there and ignore it.

In this sense, Li Ming may be closer to him, but he thinks Hui Chuankun is more suitable.

In this dormitory, he and Hui Chuankun have the most contact. In his opinion, this kid actually has simple ideas and some inferiority complex. He is not good at communicating with others. His free time is basically attending classes, going home after class, and reading.

Being simple-minded will also make him feel at ease.

If you like self-study, you can also combine it with visiting shops.

Just rent a small house.

Thinking of this, he told Qin Jun and Li Ming the next day.

Qin Jun didn't have time, so he didn't say anything. But Li Ming started to nag again, saying, "No, why don't you just give me this kind of work? Who can't run a store?"

Lu Changge said, "I can trust you to sit for a few hours a day, but if I ask you to sit for half a day every day for a month, can you stick to it?"

"How much money are you willing to pay?" Qin Jun asked.

This requires a little strategy, "Let him speak for himself."

It turned out that everyone lived in the same dormitory. If Lu Changge had a very high monthly income, while the other person's income was insignificant, problems would arise over time.

But he would not give him a lot of money just because of this hidden problem.

Lu Changge is not interested in being a good person, he just wants to be a normal person.

So he will let Hui Chuankun speak himself, but this is only the first step.

When he found Hui Chuankun and told him about it, this simple-minded and introverted boy was a little embarrassed and said, "If you need my help, I will help you. Why did we talk about money before?"

"Of course I won't discuss this with you once or twice, but it's not as simple as just lending a hand. It requires a lot of your time and dedication." Lu Changge encouraged him to speak his mind. "Chuan Kun, we're friends one thing, but how we handle this matter is another matter."

"Well..." Hui Chuankun scratched his cheek with his index finger and said, "I don't have any ideas at the moment. I saw someone working as a cashier at the school canteen, making 400 yuan a month. Is this good enough?"

College students are really cheap.

Lu Changge also knew the small shop he was talking about. The monthly salary there was really 400 yuan, and one had to compete for the job.

"Four hundred is too little. We're still roommates after all. I'll give you eight hundred. Also, if you ever decide you don't want to do this anymore, just tell me two weeks in advance so I have time to make arrangements."

This was the second step in his mind, doubling the number he had reported. That way no one could find fault with it, not even himself.

To some extent, this was a bit of a calculation, as Lu Changge wanted to prevent any problems in the future. There was no other way, managing a relationship between husband and wife required careful methods and techniques, let alone this kind of situation.

Hui Chuankun wanted to refuse because he felt it was too high. According to the current living expenses of normal college students, if he took this money, he basically wouldn't have to ask his family for a penny.

But Lu Changge didn't discuss it with him and decided to do it this way.

As for the time to run the store, it is during weekday evenings and weekend daytimes.

This time period does not conflict with his courses.

As for Zuo Shuya, she needs to look after the store during working hours on weekdays, and the evenings and weekends belong to herself, just like an ordinary office worker.

Lu Changge has considered all these details.

The only thing left was to rent a house, which was also very simple. Lu Changge finished it in two days.

Sorry, I was typing so late last night that I forgot to set up automatic updates.

This book was the worst flop, but I wrote it with such seriousness that I'm impressed by myself. Because it flopped so badly, I decided to be bold with the plot. Since I only had so little money to write, I decided to stick to my original idea.
