After being kicked out of the wealthy family along with her yandere childhood friend

Pei Jin escorted the white peach all the way to the shop entrance.

She stood outside the shop, smiling and waving at him.

Qiao Yue glanced through the glass door, then pursed her lips.

Why isn't he coming in?

Bai Tao smiled.

"He was just going to buy groceries today and gave me a ride on his way."

Today is Sunday. I guess the girl who got her nails done yesterday helped promote Qiao Yue, because the day is fully booked.

During lunch, Bai Tao leaned close to Qiao Yue, smiling as she stared at her.

"Sister Yue, we moved. We've made plans to have dinner with He Fan and the others tonight. Do you want to come along?"

Qiao Yue thought about it and agreed, it had been a long time since she had eaten out.

She put down her chopsticks.

"What time? What do you want to eat?"

"Around six o'clock, He Fan said there was a hot pot restaurant nearby, and after eating, he would go to work."

Qiao Yue nodded. "Okay."

Bai Tao sent Pei Jin a message.

My boss is also going to dinner tonight.

Pei Jin swallowed the congee with preserved egg and lean pork in his mouth.

【it is good. 】

While tidying up at home today, he suddenly realized that Bai Tao seemed to have never bought any new clothes since moving into the basement.

She was still wearing her summer clothes. Although it wasn't too cold yet, the beginning of autumn was just around the corner.

Previously, Bai Tao's clothes were all the latest seasonal products from major brands or custom-made, but now he can only buy her the clothes from women's clothing stores in shopping malls.

A few coats costing several thousand yuan each cost him a month's salary.

So he thought about it and realized that Bai Tao wouldn't be home on the weekend, so he could find a part-time job.

He opened the app on his phone and found a large, well-known tutoring institution.

We are looking for a one-on-one private tutor. The hourly rate is 400, but a high school teacher's certificate is required.

He didn't, but he still sent his resume.

He felt he had no problem with senior year physics.

He was contacted by the other party very quickly.

[Ms. Pei, I've reviewed your resume; it's excellent.]

This is the new campus in the innovation park, and we are currently short of excellent teachers.

However, since you don't have a teaching certificate, we can make an exception and hire you, but you'll need to give a trial lesson.

Are you free this afternoon?

Pei Jin glanced at the time in the upper right corner: 12:40.

【Have. 】

The other party replied with their location instantly.

【Is 13:30 okay?】

Pei Jin clicked on it and took a look. It was right next to the Innovation Park, only a 13-minute walk away.

【Can. 】

Pei Jin turned around and washed the bowl.

He also poured out the remaining lean meat porridge that he hadn't finished.

It was quite thick when it was first cooked last night, but now it's very thin.

He wiped his hands and went into the bedroom to change his clothes.

Wearing a light gray shirt and black trousers, he hesitated for a moment before standing in front of the mirror and unbuttoning the top two buttons.

She revealed her collarbone.

He took a picture of himself in the mirror and sent it to Bai Tao.

【image】

Bai Tao was squatting in the corner of the nail salon, taking out a prosthetic hand. Qiao Yue told her to practice applying nail tips and then buffing the nail surface.

Her phone lit up, and when she opened it, she saw Pei Jin taking a selfie in the mirror, dressed in a way that was... quite unconventional for men.

Isn't it said that boys don't like taking pictures?

He's very handsome, though.

She looked at it for a couple more seconds, then typed.

[Was this sent to the wrong person?]

Pei Jin frowned, confirming that he hadn't sent the wrong message.

【No.】

"So, who are you going out to seduce by dressing so handsomely?"

Pei Jin smiled in front of the mirror, glanced at himself again, lowered his head to type, and casually buttoned up the two buttons he had just unbuttoned.

Don't overthink it, I'm going out for a job interview this afternoon.

When Bai Tao saw those words, she almost dropped the prosthetic hand to the ground.

【interview?】

Pei Jin was fired, so why does he still need an interview?

She frowned, her expression suddenly becoming serious.

Why do we need interviews?

[To earn money for my wife to buy clothes.]

Bai Tao's ears burned slightly when she saw the word "wife".

She hesitated for a moment, then replied,

Wow, thank you Lao Pei, love you ^3^

Upon seeing those words, Pei Jin paused in his steps, then walked out the door, turning back as he went.

[Baby, did you mistype something?]

【No.】

【Then why did you call your husband "Old Pei"?】

Bai Tao stared at the screen, her face instantly turning red.

She didn't reply, but placed her phone face down on her lap and cupped her face in her hands.

Qiao Yue glanced at her.

Why is your face so red?

White Peach lowered her head.

"...The heating is on too high."

?

Qiao Yue stood up, squatted down in front of Bai Tao, and touched her forehead with her hand.

No fever.

Why are you talking nonsense in broad daylight?

-

Pei Jin arrived at the tutoring center entrance ten minutes early.

The building's glass doors were sparkling clean. As he pushed the door open, the young woman at the front desk looked up.

"Are you here for an interview?"

Pei Jin nodded.

The woman stood up, wearing a very formal white suit, looking to be in her thirties, with her hair neatly styled.

She led him to the door of a conference room, then took a senior high school physics textbook and a workbook from the shelf by the door and handed them to him.

"Classes start at 14:00 PM on weekdays. Our principal is out now, so you can prepare in advance and give him a brief explanation on the blackboard later."

Pei Jin took it, nodded, and sat down in the chair near the door of the conference room.

The meeting room was small, with a whiteboard directly in front, an eraser in a slot, and a few old markers scattered around it.

He opened his physics book, his gaze gliding across the table of contents before settling on a classic problem about electromagnetic fields.

He read it several times. He could solve the problems and match the formulas, but he forgot the specifics of some of the theories.

Okay.

The meeting room door wasn't opened until 14:40 PM.

A woman who looked to be in her thirties walked in, wearing a dark gray suit jacket, followed by two male teachers.

When she saw Pei Jin, she proactively extended her hand, her voice crisp and decisive, displaying a capable demeanor.

"Hello, is this Teacher Pei? I am the branch principal of the training institution's innovation park. My surname is Yu."

Pei Jin stood up and shook her hand.

"Hello, I am Pei Jin."

Principal Yu nodded, stepped aside to let the two male teachers sit in the chairs next to her, and then pulled out a seat for herself.

Without much small talk, she got straight to the point, exuding a powerful aura.

"Teacher Pei, let me be blunt: you don't meet our requirements because you don't have a teacher's qualification certificate."

"However, because your academic qualifications are indeed very strong, you will definitely attract many students and parents who admire excellence, so we have decided to give you an exception."

Pei Jin nodded, neither arrogant nor impatient.

Okay, I hope I won't let you down.

He walked to the whiteboard, picked up a marker, copied the big problem about electromagnetism onto it, and then began to explain.

He wrote out the derivation process smoothly, and the two male teachers' eyes moved back and forth between the formulas he wrote.

Principal Yu glanced at the time, then at the neatly arranged derivation steps on the whiteboard, and did not allow him to finish explaining the entire problem.

As a teacher, you can prepare lessons at home beforehand if you know how to solve problems, but you must be in good condition and have a clear voice.

Principal Yu stopped Pei Jin at an appropriate point.

"Alright, Teacher Pei, that's all for now."

He put down his pen and turned around.

Seeing the two male teachers huddled together and whispering a few words, Principal Yu picked up Pei Jin's resume and glanced at it again.

"Teacher Pei, you can come to work now."

She put the resume back on the table, looked up at him, and

"I see you're applying for a weekend one-on-one tutoring position. Would you be interested in our regular evening study sessions?"

Pei Jin refused without even thinking.

"Let's do it on the weekend. On weekdays, I need to stay home with my wife in the evenings."

Principal Yu was somewhat surprised, and her gaze lingered on his face for a moment.

"Excuse me, are you married?"

"No, it'll be soon. I'm planning to."

Principal Yu smiled, looking knowing, and didn't press further.

"Okay, then I'll have Ms. Sun help you create a class schedule later. Do you need any study guides or materials for your senior year?"

"Teacher Sun is the teacher who greeted you at the front desk. She is mainly responsible for student registration and teacher scheduling."

Pei Jin nodded.

"It would be best if it were."

Principal Yu turned to look at the slightly overweight male teacher beside him.

"This is Zhang Hao, a full-time physics teacher at our tutoring center. You'll follow him in a bit; just tell him if you need any materials."

Pei Jin followed her gaze and nodded to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao nodded at him, his gaze lingering on his face for a moment before moving away.

At 16:30, Pei Jin left the study room.

He texted Bai Tao as he walked out.

Wait for me a moment.

It takes fifty minutes to get there from here. He left early because he was worried that Bai Tao would be bored while waiting after get off work, but it still seemed to be late.

Bai Tao replied half an hour later.

She sent a kitten-like emoji.

It's okay, Yuejie is having dinner with us too. I can just stay at the nail salon.

When Pei Jin arrived, He Yilong was already there.

He Fan sat on the sofa, his face covered by a hat, his head resting on He Yilong's shoulder.

Qiao Yue was looking down at her phone when she saw Pei Jin push the door open and walk in. She glanced around and...

"Alright, everyone's here. Let's go. Xiao Fan, eat quickly so you can get to work soon."

A flashy bright red Ferrari was parked in front of the hot pot restaurant, and a few people glanced at it as they passed by.

They had made a reservation in advance and went straight into the private room.

Bai Tao and He Fan were huddled together, chatting about something. He Fan turned his head and whispered a few words. Bai Tao's eyes lit up, and then she covered her mouth and laughed.

Qiao Yue vaguely heard that Bai Tao was gossiping about her in front of her, rolled her eyes, and ignored them.

Pei Jin and He Yilong sat on the other side of the table, talking about something. Then He Yilong took out his phone, and the two of them exchanged contact information.

Bai Tao didn't notice this; she was engrossed in listening to the gossip. Qiao Yue was simply the epitome of womanhood, and she didn't even bother to eat.

Qiao Yue used serving chopsticks to pick up a piece for her. She chewed it a couple of times with the sauce in the bowl, and then continued listening to He Fan talk.

When she went out, Bai Tao slowed her pace by a beat and stood on the steps in front of the hot pot restaurant.

He Fan patted her on the shoulder.

"It's okay, I'll come find you guys to play after I get off work during the day."

Bai Tao smiled, about to say something, when she looked up and landed on the other side of the street.

A boy wearing black cargo pants and a red jacket, with a metal chain around his neck,

He was walking past a female college student wearing a purple bodycon skirt with his arm around her.

He glanced this way, and the instant his eyes met Bai Tao's, his gaze was filled with contempt and disdain.

Bae Cheol?

Is that Pei Che?

Bai Tao had only seen him from afar at the banquet, but the profile of that face was so similar that she subconsciously grabbed Pei Jin's hand next to her.

Pei Jin was still talking to He Yilong when he felt his hand being grabbed. He gripped her hand in return, glanced down at her, and...

"What's wrong, baby?"

"It's alright."

Bai Tao pursed her lips, her gaze still fixed on the direction Pei Che had left in.

The next second, Pei Jin's hand reached around from her side, gently cupped her chin, and turned her face to face him.

"Who are you looking at, baby? You're so engrossed."

Bai Tao shook her head; she hadn't figured out how to tell Pei Jin yet.

"I saw a girl wearing a really nice dress."

Pei Jin released his grip, a chill running through him for a moment. Sure enough, he wanted to buy new clothes…

Or perhaps he's just too incompetent.

Tutoring center wages also need to be settled monthly, which is just too slow.

The light from the phone screen shone on his face, and he thought for a moment, realizing that he had probably forgotten his roots.

I clearly have time to work at the courier station today; I can earn forty yuan an hour and receive the money the same day.

He picked up his phone and sent a message to Teacher Sun, who had recruited him in the first place.

"Ms. Sun, I don't think I'm a good fit for this institution. I'll return the books tomorrow."

Sun Xiaoli was already lying at home, ready to binge-watch her favorite TV series, when she saw this message and plopped herself up on the sofa.

No?

She's already publicized it.

Because Pei Jin didn't have a teacher's certificate, she didn't reveal his real name.

They only mentioned that a very talented teacher named Pei had joined the organization, and that classes were only held on weekends.

Seven or eight parents have contacted her tonight, all wanting to enroll in Pei Jin's one-on-one tutoring.

She replied immediately.

What's wrong? Is there some kind of difficulty?

I can solve any problem for you now.

Pei Jin was also hesitant. Four hundred a hour was much easier than moving things on the assembly line, but he was short of money right now, he lacked cash that he could circulate in his hands.

He thought about it and decided to give it a try.

I'm short on cash and would like to be paid daily, is that possible?

After reading the message, Sun Xiaoli lay back down on the sofa and let out a soft breath.

Oh, that's all.

As long as it's not that they really don't want to work anymore, all other issues are negotiable.

She thought for a moment and then made a phone call to the principal.

After listening, the principal didn't hesitate for long.

"Okay, contact the finance department and explain the situation."

After reporting the situation, Sun Xiaoli replied to Pei Jin.

"Yes, Professor Pei, we sincerely want to cooperate with you."

Do you have any other questions? If not, I'll send you the course schedule.

Pei Jin stared at the line of text on the screen for a while, and with a weight lifted from his shoulders, he let out a long sigh.

That's all, thank you.

In that case, the money in my hand can be used to buy clothes for Bai Tao.

Thank goodness, his luck improved after he met Bai Tao.
