7: Chapter 7 This is not a broken doll

In the afternoon, he transferred 5,000 yuan to his mother, saying it was his salary.

He told the elderly couple they wouldn't need to work anymore.

He didn't know if they heard him; on the phone, there was only his mother's concern, telling him to take good care of himself.

He originally planned to buy a few flatbreads to fill his stomach before it got too late.

And then find a company to apply for a job.

But the phone rang at that moment.

The caller ID showed Zhang Tao.

"Sister Tao, did you miss me?"

The moment he spoke, Zhang Tao blushed.

"Mm, do you have time tonight? I'll take you out for hot pot."

Having her thoughts guessed, Zhang Tao's eyes were hazy and bright, shimmering with a layer of moisture.

Set against her flushed cheeks, she looked exceptionally charming.

It was a pity she made a voice call; Zhao Jian couldn't see her.

"Does this count as a date?" He couldn't see Zhang Tao's expression, but he could tell by her voice.

This Good Older Sister was shy!

The more sensitive someone was, the more he wanted to tease them.

"What are you saying! Just tell me if you're going or not!"

"I dare not refuse an invitation from a beauty. You choose the time and place."

By the time they finished the call, it was almost time for regular companies to get off work.

Today's job application plans were ruined.

On the way, he bought a bottle of water and an ice cream.

He arrived at the meeting spot half an hour early. In Zhao Jian's impression, it was rare for a girl not to be late.

But Zhang Tao was already waiting at the entrance.

"Little brother, over here!" She waved excitedly, standing on tiptoe to make it easier for Zhao Jian to see her.

In fact, he had spotted her long ago.

After all, her unique temperament and delicate appearance stood out clearly among the crowd.

"How long have you been waiting?" He handed over the ice cream.

Zhang Tao held the ice cream and took a small, light bite.

Her face was full of satisfaction: "We arrived at about the same time, I just got here too."

The meal lasted a long time.

Zhao Jian didn't eat much, worried that this Good Older Sister would spend too much money. Zhang Tao ordered plenty, afraid that her good little brother wouldn't be full.

By the time they finished, it was nearly midnight.

"Little brother, our investor really liked the Mapo Tofu from last time."

"He said the cooking skill was actually just okay, but the tofu ingredients were excellent. He wants to ask you about the source of the tofu."

Outside the hot pot restaurant, Zhang Tao looked anxious.

She was worried that Zhao Jian would think she had ulterior motives for treating him.

Zhao Jian noticed her cautious look and couldn't help but tease her:

"Oh! I thought this meal was for us to build our relationship as sister and brother, but it turns out it was an exchange of interests."

This one sentence made Zhang Tao anxious enough to cry.

She had misunderstood!

"No, no, it's mainly because I wanted to eat with you."

She hurriedly explained, but when she looked up, she noticed Zhao Jian's mischievous smile.

"You brat, teasing your sister!"

Zhang Tao made a gesture to hit him.

"Spare me, heroine!" Zhao Jian took the opportunity to beg for mercy.

As they parted ways, Zhao Jian sent her the address of the Tofu Beauty's stall.

When he got home, it was exactly a quarter past midnight.

Without him needing to initiate it, the light screen appeared on its own.

【Today's Intelligence (White): Old Man Zhang, who just bought Villa No. 6 in Hanheyuan Residential Area, is about to clear out the miscellaneous items left behind by the previous owner.

There is a spicy cloth doll among the items, currently with a second-hand market price of 8,000 yuan】

What kind of doll is so expensive!

The monthly salary Zhao Jian expected when submitting resumes was only that much, and he kept hitting walls.

If he could earn 8,000 yuan every day, wouldn't that be much more comfortable than working!

For a moment, he was so excited he couldn't sleep!

"Asking specifically for the doll will definitely arouse suspicion; the old man is old, not stupid."

Lying in bed, he accidentally saw his long-unworn slim-fit work uniform, and Zhao Jian's eyes lit up instantly.

He had a plan!

In the morning, he woke up at eight, which was rare, and put on the work uniform.

He dressed up like a cleaner.

Hanheyuan was a high-end residential area, and the security guards were well-presented and polite.

"Sorry, you cannot enter without an appointment."

"I am the owner."

"Oh, please go ahead."

He successfully bluffed his way through.

The door of Villa No. 6 was open, but Zhao Jian did not rush in.

Entering without permission would leave an impression of being unruly. It was very easy to get shut out.

Soon, someone came out to check.

"Young man, who are you looking for?" An old man came out.

"May I ask if Old Man Zhang lives here?"

"I am he. Who are you?" Old Man Zhang looked stunned; he had just bought the villa and hadn't moved in yet.

Even the property registration was filled out with his son's information.

How did this Young man know him?

"Sir, do you need a cleaner? I can clean the room and take out the trash for you."

He couldn't do anything too complicated; he wasn't a real cleaner.

Old Man Zhang waved his hand and refused: "No, no, I don't hire people. I can do it myself."

As he spoke, he was about to close the door.

Zhao Jian restrained the urge to push his services.

Being too eager doesn't make a good deal.

He took a step back and said before the door closed: "Then the free door-to-door cleaning service provided by the property management for new owners is considered complete. If you need anything in the future, we will give you a 20% discount."

He walked away after saying that.

"Hey, wait!" The closed door opened.

"Old Man Zhang, your service has already ended." Zhao Jian squeezed out some reluctance.

"You haven't done anything and it's over? Come in, if you don't come in, I'll report you!"

Taking advantage of Old Man Zhang turning around, Zhao Jian grinned silently: Heh heh, got him!

The villa room was not messy.

Perhaps the previous owner had already cleaned it once; there were only a few scattered dolls and old clothes on the floor.

Zhao Jian quickly found his target: the ugly-cute spicy cloth.

"Put all this trash into a bag and throw it out, and help me mop the floor. It's all free, right?"

Old Man Zhang stood with his hands behind his back.

When he first heard it was free, he was very tempted and used the complaint to threaten Zhao Jian.

At this moment, he felt a bit of fear.

He was worried it was a trap by the property management to deceive the elderly.

For example, cleaning might be free, but taking out the trash and mopping the floor might cost money.

"Sir, don't worry, the whole process is free, I don't want a single penny."

Hearing it was all free, Old Man Zhang felt relieved.

The cleaning was finished quickly.

Zhao Jian walked out carrying the trash bag containing the doll.

"Young man, thank you. You wouldn't even drink a sip of water. Next time I go to the property management, I'll give you a good review!"

Old man, you didn't give me any water to drink either!

Old Man Zhang watched the back of Zhao Jian leaving, then looked at the big villa behind him.

A strong sense of satisfaction rose in his heart.

Living in a high-end residential area, having free door-to-door cleaning service.

"Awesome!"

Zhao Jian carried the trash bag and left the Hanheyuan Residential Area.

It wasn't until he was out of the gate that he took the spicy cloth doll out of the trash bag.

Looking at the 8,000 yuan that was about to be his, he had only one thought in his heart:

"Awesome!"
