140: Chapter 140 You were too arrogant when you were little, and it still bothers me.

Luo Wei sat on the sofa on the second floor of the Milk Tea Shop.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Meiru finally walked out of the warehouse timidly.

Her eyes darted around, her cheeks were flushed, and she rubbed the corner of her clothes awkwardly, looking completely lost.

She wasn't naturally introverted; on the contrary, she was very outgoing.

Since elementary school, she had frequently performed on stage.

Not only that, her grades were excellent.

And she was beautiful, too!

From childhood to adulthood, everyone said she would be successful when she grew up!

Because of this, Zhang Meiru had developed a very arrogant personality from a young age!

For example, she had looked down on Luo Wei since they were kids, feeling that he simply wasn't from the same world as her.

She believed that when Luo Wei grew up, he would either be farming in the village or tightening screws in a factory!

As for her, she might become a dancer or a pop star!

No matter where she went, she would be the center of attention!

In short, she utterly despised Luo Wei.

The two of them hadn't seen each other for a full ten years.

The current Luo Wei was well-dressed and refined.

Not only was he earth-shatteringly handsome, but he was also successful in his career!

As for Zhang Meiru, after graduating from university, she wasn't content with being a lowly clerk.

She put all her eggs in one basket and invested in a project with friends, only to lose everything!

She, who was once high and mighty, was now meeting Luo Wei in the capacity of a Milk Tea Shop employee!

In this world, there was nothing more awkward than such an encounter!

"Bo... Boss..." Zhang Meiru opened her mouth, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

She had heard from the store manager, Lin Wantang, that the owner of the Milk Tea Shop was very handsome!

She never would have imagined in a million years that the boss was actually Luo Wei!

Luo Wei activated his Intelligence Eye and looked at Zhang Meiru.

A line of text appeared above her head.

'This woman is willing to be a Milk Tea Shop employee for the purpose of stealing the milk tea recipe.'

Seeing through Zhang Meiru's little scheme, Luo Wei chuckled. "Sister Meiru, it really has been a long time!"

"By the way, why would someone who graduated from a prestigious university come to my Milk Tea Shop to be a lowly employee?"

"If your mother found out about this, she'd probably scold me to death!"

Zhang Meiru's mother had never liked the mischievous Luo Wei.

When they were kids, Zhang Meiru would occasionally play with Luo Wei.

Whenever Zhang Meiru's mother saw them, she would give Luo Wei a harsh tongue-lashing, believing he was a bad influence on her daughter.

Faced with Luo Wei's jab, Zhang Meiru was extremely embarrassed, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

She, who was once so arrogant, now couldn't even lift her head in front of Luo Wei.

"Speak up!" Luo Wei questioned her expressionlessly.

"You have such high academic qualifications, yet you ran off to work at a Milk Tea Shop."

"I strongly suspect you're here to steal my milk tea recipe!"

"No, that's not it..." Zhang Meiru turned pale with fright!

In reality, she had indeed joined the Wantang Xiaozhu Milk Tea Shop with the intention of stealing the secret recipe.

She wanted to open her own Milk Tea Shop and make a fortune after getting the secret recipe, thereby paying off her debts!

However, faced with Luo Wei's questioning, there was no way she could admit to it!

"I... I chose to join because the wages at the Milk Tea Shop are high..."

"Is that so?" Luo Wei sneered. "You're a graduate of a prestigious university."

"Any random job you find would be better than working in a Milk Tea Shop!"

"I, I..." Faced with Luo Wei's suspicion, Zhang Meiru gritted her teeth and revealed her embarrassing situation to prove her innocence.

"My investment failed, and I owe a large sum of money. My credit score is ruined, and I can't find a good job at all..."

"Oh?" Luo Wei asked with interest. "Sister Meiru, how did you end up like this?"

"By the way, does your mother know about this?"

"Your mother is a city person; she could surely help you out!"

The words 'city person' made Zhang Meiru flush with shame.

When they lived in the village, her mother often boasted about being a city person and looked down on the villagers.

In reality, her mother had a city household registration in name only and didn't own any property in the city at all.

In short, her mother couldn't help her with the debts she owed.

At the moment, her mother still didn't know about her debt.

If she found out, she would definitely beat her to death!

Seeing Zhang Meiru's head bowed in distress made Luo Wei feel exceptionally satisfied.

He couldn't help but continue asking, "Sister Meiru, could you tell me exactly how much you owe?"

"Two... two hundred thousand..." Zhang Meiru answered awkwardly.

"Two hundred thousand?" Luo Wei was slightly surprised.

To the current him, two hundred thousand was child's play.

But for an ordinary person, two hundred thousand was like a heavy mountain!

Even with a monthly salary of ten thousand, after deducting rent, utilities, and food, if one could save eight thousand a month, it would take a full 25 months to save up two hundred thousand.

During those 25 months, you couldn't have any other large expenses, you couldn't get sick, and you couldn't quit your job!

However, in many cases, the salary of an ordinary person wasn't ten thousand a month at all.

Therefore, saving up two hundred thousand was a very difficult task!

At this moment, Luo Wei took out a bank card.

"I have many 'two hundred thousands' in my card."

"Do you need me to help you pay off your debt?"

"Re-really?" Zhang Meiru's eyes lit up; it was as if she saw hope in the midst of despair.

Luo Wei nodded seriously. "I can fill that hole for you with ease!"

"But the question is, why should I help you?"

"..."

This question was like a bucket of cold water poured over Zhang Meiru.

She was instantly stunned, and the light in her eyes suddenly faded.

It was like falling back into the abyss.

Indeed, Luo Wei had no reason to help her.

She and Luo Wei were neither Relatives nor friends.

Moreover, she had looked down on and caused trouble for Luo Wei quite a bit when they were young, and her mother had criticized him many times.

Given the situation she was in, it was only natural for Luo Wei to mock her wildly. As for helping her, that was absolutely out of the question.

"Sister Meiru, please tell me..." Luo Wei leaned back on the sofa in a comfortable position.

"If I help you pay off your debt, how will you repay me?"

Zhang Meiru quickly replied, "I, I will work hard..."

"From now on, I can work without pay until the money is paid back!"

Luo Wei wasn't satisfied with such an answer. He asked Zhang Meiru curiously, "Do you know how to wash feet?"

This question confused Zhang Meiru. "What do you mean by washing feet..."

"I mean foot therapy, foot massage!"

"..."

Zhang Meiru shook her head awkwardly.

As a top student, she naturally didn't understand things like foot massage.

"Since you don't know, then go online and learn. Besides foot massage, you also need to learn about Essential oil back massages and such."

"After I help you pay off your debt, you need to serve me for a period of time to offset the two hundred thousand debt!"

The conditions Luo Wei proposed made Zhang Meiru's eyes widen. She seriously suspected that Luo Wei had improper designs on her!

She was very beautiful, but she didn't want to use her body to trade for money!

Otherwise, she would have paid off a mere two hundred thousand debt long ago!

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you. I have plenty of girlfriends!" Luo Wei chuckled.

"To tell you the truth, you were too arrogant when you were a child, and I've held a grudge!"

"Now that I have the chance to trample you under my feet, I won't miss it!"

"Of course, the choice is in your hands!"

"Accept it or reject it, as you please!"

Luo Wei left a bank card and then turned to go downstairs...
