When Pei Jin finished eating and walked to the entrance of the residential area, he stopped in front of the convenience store, turned his head and looked at Bai Tao.

"Wait for me here? Hmm?"

Bai Tao glanced at the convenience store.

"Why didn't you take me? I want to go too."

Pei Jin raised an eyebrow, smiled, and remained silent.

Bai Tao ran into the store before him, stood in front of the freezer, and bent down to look at the yogurt inside.

She took two boxes that she wanted to drink herself, hugged them to her arms, and turned to look for Pei Jin.

When she got close to the checkout counter, she saw Pei Jin standing in front of the shelf by the door, hands in his pockets, seriously picking something out.

The cashier next to him kept secretly watching him.

Handsome guy, the same handsome guy buying that, I wonder who he's using it with.

Bai Tao pretended not to recognize him, carrying her yogurt as she walked past him. Just as she was about to head towards the cashier, Pei Jin turned his head and glanced at her.

"I'll hand it over, you can leave it there."

Bai Tao met the cashier's mocking gaze, placed the yogurt on the counter, and turned to walk away nonchalantly.

Oh ~

With this beautiful woman.

Pei Jin picked out the last two boxes of pink ultra-thin ones, four in each box.

The cashier asked him if he needed a bag, and he shook his head, just holding it in his hand, along with the white peach yogurt.

Bai Tao stood by the convenience store entrance waiting for him. When she saw him push the door open and come out, her gaze fell on what he was holding, and her pupils contracted slightly.

She glanced around; thankfully, no one was there.

Pei Jin was looking down at the things in his hands, using the light from the convenience store entrance.

"Pei Jin!"

Pei Jin looked up.

"What's wrong?"

"Couldn't you have covered it up a bit?!"

Bai Tao lowered her voice and looked at the two pink boxes.

Who gave him permission to just walk out with two pink boxes like that? She really felt like she was running around naked.

Pei Jin looked at her with affection; it was so dark that no one could see her.

Bai Tao turned and ran back into the store, bought a bag, came out, opened the bag, and watched Pei Jin put the items in one by one before she breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Jin took the bag and held it in his hand. He thought Bai Tao looked really cute, so he brought his face close to hers.

Bai Tao quickly took two steps back, looked around,

"What are you doing! In broad daylight!"

Pei Jin was amused by her, and chuckled softly.

"Hehe, I just wanted to say, baby, isn't love between men and women normal?"

Bai Tao's face flushed red. She knew she couldn't win an argument with him, so she turned her head away and walked forward, ignoring him.

Pei Jin followed behind, and when they were almost at the basement entrance, he caught up with Bai Tao in the corridor.

She tried to dodge twice, but couldn't escape. He cornered her against the wall and kissed her.

"Don't. There's someone there."

She remembered that the soundproofing here wasn't very good, especially in the hallway.

Bai Tao placed her palm on his shoulder and spoke in a very low voice.

Pei Jin opened the door, about to continue chasing after Bai Tao, when Chi Shibao called. Pei Jin gritted his teeth and forgot about him.

The ringtone was exceptionally clear in the quiet basement, and Bai Tao took the opportunity to slip under his arm.

Tonight is the last time.

Chi Shibao has three hours left before his thesis defense.

Pei Jin turned on his computer, crossed his arms, sat on the sofa, and frowned as he watched Chi Shibao yelling incessantly on the other side of the screen.

"Brother Pei, what should I do if I'm so nervous?!"

"It's okay, just play to your normal level, you've already done very well."

Chi Shibao was somewhat moved after listening.

"Brother Pei, really? You really think I'm great? Waaah, you're the first person in my life to believe in me like this."

Pei Jin glanced sideways at Bai Tao, who was lying on the bed with her legs crossed behind the sofa, then turned back.

"hurry up."

Pei Jin was in a hurry. Chi Shibao didn't know what he was in a hurry for, but Bai Tao did.

She rolled over and lay on the bed, secretly smiling as she looked at the back of Pei Jin's head. She had everything prepared...

By the time Pei Jin hung up the phone, Bai Tao was already lying in bed, almost asleep.

Pei Jin put down his computer, glanced back at her, and saw her lying on her side with the blanket covering her shoulders.

He looked at her for a while, then turned off the light, grabbed his change of pajamas, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

It's nothing, it's just one night.

When Bai Tao woke up, Pei Jin had already gone to work.

She sat up groggily, her hair sticking up messily on top of her head.

What did Pei Jin say to her when he left this morning?

She couldn't remember very clearly.

She picked up her phone, about to ask Pei Jin what he had said that morning, when she saw two missed calls in the notification bar.

Lin Meng's.

She glanced at it for two seconds, then swiped it away and opened Pei Jin's WeChat.

What did you say to me this morning? I forgot.

[Cute kitten.jpg]

After sending the message, she leaned against the headboard and waited for a while, but Pei Jin didn't reply; he must be busy.

She wasn't in a hurry; she put down her phone and started scrolling through short videos.

The seasons are almost changing, and the recommendations are full of fashion blogger videos. I've flipped through several pages, and now I'm thinking of buying some clothes...

She glanced at her bank card balance, and thanks to Pei Jin, it was still 100,000.

She sighed softly; painting didn't earn her nearly enough.

Moreover, she sits at home painting all day and never goes out, so she's almost out of touch with society.

Maybe she should find another job...

If Pei Jin continues like this, she will really starve to death just by drawing.

She searched on a certain website for what job recruitment software people use, then downloaded one, set her location to the vicinity of the innovation park, and scrolled through a few pages.

Repairman...

kindergarten teacher...

Software engineer...

Sale……

The host...

Counselor...

Bai Tao felt increasingly uncertain as she looked at the situation. She sighed softly; if Pei Jin couldn't find a job, the pressure would be too much for him.

She glanced at the time. At this hour, He Yilong shouldn't be home, right?

She ran to the other side, pressed her ear to the door and listened. There were no strange noises, so she gently knocked on the door.

Who is it?

He Fan's voice came from inside.

"It's me, Hakuto."

He Fan opened the door a crack. He had just put on his clothes when someone knocked, and he pulled them down a bit as he opened the door.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Tao felt a little embarrassed, but she also felt that not having money was even more terrifying.

"Hey, do you know where to find a job?"

He Fan was somewhat surprised, but didn't ask why. He opened the door and gestured for Bai Tao to go in.

"Do you know how to do makeup? The band needs someone to do makeup."

Bai Tao shook her head.

Do you get tattoos?

Bai Tao shook her head, then thought for a moment, "No, but I can draw."

"Drawing... How about you get your nails done? Or since you're pretty, you could sell clothes."

"Get your nails done?"

Bai Tao's eyes lit up. "But I don't know how..."

"It's okay, a new nail salon just opened next to our bar and they're hiring. I'll take you to check it out."

Bai Tao felt a little embarrassed. He Fan worked the night shift and should be resting at home at this time.

"That's great? Just give me the address, I can go there myself."

He Fan waved his hand and began putting on his shoes.

"It's okay. I took the day off yesterday, so I'll take you there. I'll just go straight to the bar in a bit."

Bai Tao nodded.

"Okay, then I won't be polite~ I'll treat you to a meal before I move."

He Fan nodded, picked up his mask, hat, and bass guitar.

Are you moving?

"Yes, this place is too far from where my boyfriend works, so we changed locations."

He Fan carried the bass on his back.

"I wonder if it's close to a nail salon..."

"It's alright! Let's go take a look."

Bai Tao followed He Fan on the subway for forty minutes and got off at the transfer point to Pei Jin's place. It was quite close to their rented new house; it only took forty minutes by subway to get there.

He Fan and she scanned a shared bike, and the two of them rode for ten minutes before arriving at their destination.

This area is a commercial street near a university town, which turns into a small night market at night.

He Fan pointed to a black-walled building on the street corner.

"This is the bar where I work, but it's not open yet."

Bai Tao nodded, glanced at it, and saw that it was pitch black with a string of fancy English words on it.

"If you ever get bored in the future, you can come to our bar and hang out with me."

He Fan led her a little further ahead; this area was full of hair salons and nail salons.

Finally, He Fan stopped in front of a shop that still had flowers to welcome guests at the opening, and led Bai Tao inside.

Bai Tao glanced at the shop sign—Yueyue Nail Studio.

Hello, Sister Yue~

He Fan greeted Qiao Yue, and Qiao Yue put down the box she was carrying, looked up,

"Hi~ Where's my cousin?"

"at work."

He Fan turned to the side, revealing Bai Tao standing behind him.

Qiao Yue shifted her gaze from He Fan to Bai Tao's face, looking her up and down.

She was very pretty, and stood quietly behind He Fan, looking very well-behaved.

But she remembered her brother's kindness... and he wasn't attracted to women...

"This is?"

He Fan pushed her forward.

"Sister Yue, this is my friend Bai Tao. She's looking for a job. Since you're hiring, I brought her over to take a look."

Then He Fan lowered his head and introduced Bai Tao.

"This belongs to He Yilong, uh, my cousin or older cousin, Qiao Yue."

Bai Tao greeted Qiao Yue.

"Hello……"

Qiao Yue is very handsome and tall, with a heroic air between his brows, slender eyebrows that are slightly raised, and long black wavy hair that falls to his waist.

She wore a tight-fitting black slip dress, black pointed-toe flats, and a gold eight-treasure compass around her neck. Her red lips were slightly upturned.

"Oh, are you here for a job interview?"

Bai Tao nodded.

Seeing that the two of them had gotten down to business, He Fan yawned.

"You two talk, I'm going to the bar to catch up on my sleep."

After saying that, He Fan left, and Bai Tao stood there, letting Qiao Yue look her up and down.

Then Qiao Yue smiled, walked around the worktable, and stood in front of her.

"Do you know how to do manicures, little sister?"

Bai Tao shook her head.

Qiao Yue was stunned.

"But this is a nail salon, and I'm looking for someone to help me. Even if you're He Fan's friend, it won't work."

"I can draw, is that okay?"

Qiao Yue thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"Drawing on a nail is different from drawing on paper."

I was rejected...

Bai Tao sighed, deciding to fight for herself one last time.

"Why don't you take a look at my work, sister?"

She took out her phone from her pocket and opened a few of her most recently accepted works.

"Look, these are all my recent drawings."

Then she switched apps and clicked on the recently popular "Magic Orb and Spirit Orb".

Qiao Yue's gaze lingered on the screen for a moment.

"Did you draw this?"

Bai Tao nodded.

Qiao Yue frowned and glanced again at the exposure and number of fans of Bai Tao's works.

In today's internet age, doing business requires exposure and traffic for promotion.

In addition, Bai Tao is really beautiful, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to create an account to promote her properly.

"An apprentice working for me earns 3000 a month plus commission."

"I'll give you a commission of ten yuan for each nail tip I make. We can discuss it further once you can do it independently, okay?"

Bai Tao hesitated; 3000 yuan was really too low. Qiao Yue added, "..."

"One-month internship, after which you will be enrolled in a full-time program with five social insurances and one housing fund, working from 9 am to 5 pm, and receiving 10 yuan per hour for overtime."

If you attract customers by posting your work, is it okay if you get a 20% commission on the final price for each customer?

Bai Tao went through it in her mind, then nodded and smiled at Qiao Yue.

"make a deal!"
