Chapter 22: A Bad Death
Another day passed, Wei Jie looked at the address book uncomfortably, and finally took the initiative to contact someone.
"Michelle, isn't it on recently?"
Wei Jie sent a message to Michelle, but it has been five days and he still hasn't heard any notification from the system. He is now really unsure what Zhang Xiaoshan thinks of Michelle.
Is this really the kind of love that lasts forever?
No...the sea will never dry up, but I really want to cry!
After waiting for about half a minute, Michelle responded.
Michelle: It will be broadcast in the evening. My brother must come to see me then. Otherwise, it will be very hard for me to be alone.
Wei Jie didn't care whether this woman was difficult to bear or not. He contacted Michelle not because he liked this woman or cared about her.
"Well, how are you doing recently? Have the others contacted you? It's more lively at night when there are more people. It's better to inform others about your broadcast."
Michelle: Yeah, for sure!
Wei Jie felt extremely uncomfortable. This woman was always so slow and never followed his steps. She would never answer the questions he wanted to ask honestly!
"You haven't been broadcasting for so long, don't the other brothers care about you? I thought they would take the initiative to ask why you stopped broadcasting."
Michelle: Those people don’t care about me at all. I’m having a hard time recently and feel so helpless. I can’t even pay my debts this month, wuwuwu…
Wei Jie showed a thoughtful expression, thinking about how to get this woman to stop talking about money all the time!
"Have you ever thought about finding a job? I see a lot of restaurants out there are hiring waiters. Three thousand a month is not a small amount. There's a labor shortage right now. If that doesn't work out, delivering food can also make over ten thousand a month, right? It's just a little harder."
Wei Jie certainly knew how unpleasant this way of making money was for women, especially beautiful women.
But although what he said was unpleasant to hear, why should he care about Wei Jie's business?
Aren't you short of money? Why don't you want to do the legitimate way to make money?
Is it more shameful to do this kind of job or to go out and sell it?
Need I say more?! Of course it’s embarrassing to deliver a package!!!
Michelle: No, I can't do that kind of work. It's too hard.
Wei Jie smiled, this time with a look of evil humor.
"It's not that hard. I just know a few people and I still have time to play in the evening."
Michelle didn't want to discuss this topic with Wei Jie, nor did she want to offend her elder brother who didn't have much time left.
Michelle: Brother, let me tell you something. I feel like I'm being followed lately. These past few days when I went out to eat, I always saw a particularly unfashionable-looking migrant worker secretly staring at me.
Wei Jie quickly became interested and he thought of someone at the first moment.
"Oh? When did it start?"
Michelle: It started the day before yesterday. I didn’t broadcast for a few days, so I went out to drink milk tea and eat dessert, and then I saw that person. I didn’t care at first, but in the next few days, I could see the migrant worker squatting on the opposite street looking at me every day. It was so scary!
Wei Jie quickly asked: Have you called the police?
Michelle: No, I’m afraid my family will worry. But I will never go there again. People nowadays have such poor quality and there are so many bad people!
Wei Jie no longer wanted to chat or type with this woman.
"Well, be safe, I'll come over to see you during the live broadcast tonight."
Michelle is very short of money now. When she saw Wei Jie contacting her on his own initiative, she had an idea.
Michelle: Brother, you are also in Hua'an District, South Shanghai, right? I am not far from Hua'an District, it only takes ten minutes by taxi. How about we go to the movies together?
Wei Jie hated people who were interested in him and liked his body the most.
“I’m abroad now.”
Wei Jie went online to find a street view of an American small town, took a screenshot of part of it and sent it over.
As expected, they believed it...
Wei Jie used the ridiculous excuse of wanting to see the WeChat format on his mobile phone and asked Michelle to send him screenshots of Zhang Xiaoshan and others' WeChat IDs.
Michelle didn't suspect anything, she just thought that Wei Jie's foreign friends were interested in this chat software.
After Wei Jie finished his conversation with Michelle, he quickly contacted Zhang Xiaoshan.
For Zhang Xiaoshan, who has never been actively added by anyone on WeChat and is always unable to add others, he will almost immediately agree if someone actively adds him as a friend.
He did not experience the pain of being harassed all day long. His pain was that no one would ever pay attention to him.
Just when Zhang Xiaoshan was thinking about how to type and talk to the other party, the other party sent a text message first.
[I am a stay-at-home mom who just eats and waits for death. I just chatted with Xueer for a while, and she said someone was following her. Is it you? ]
Zhang Xiaoshan replied decisively without any hesitation: No!
[Don't make excuses. I won't tell Xue'er about this. I have no ill will towards you, and I didn't ask Xue'er to call the police. But what can you get in return for doing this? Let go, and stop harassing my Xue'er.]
Wei Jie automatically took the place of Xueer's boyfriend and asked Zhang Xiaoshan not to get close to Michelle again.
Zhang Xiaoshan showed a look of despair, and soon replied sadly on the phone: I won't disturb you, but please, just let me watch her from a distance, please.
Upon hearing that this person was indeed the one following and spying on Michelle, Wei Jie was so angry that he almost laughed. This guy was too proactive.
[How did you know Xue'er's address? Did she tell you?]
Zhang Xiaoshan replied honestly: No, I contacted her once, but I didn't dare to talk to her anymore because I was afraid she would delete me. I used to save all the pictures she posted on WeChat Moments. During the days when she didn't broadcast live, I ran all over the streets and alleys and searched for a long time before I found the shops in her background pictures. After that, I kept squatting at the milk tea shop and finally waited for her.
This is a really awesome cup!
Wei Jie was convinced, really convinced.
[You don’t have to carry bricks anymore? ]
Zhang Xiaoshan replied: I took three days off. After seeing her, I had no money to go back, and I didn’t want to borrow money from my colleagues. The foreman didn’t call me, so I just wanted to stay here and watch her for one day.
Wei Jie paused for a minute. At this moment, he really wanted to smoke, and he couldn't say any contemptuous words.
[How do you solve the problem of food and accommodation now? ] Wei Jie felt very calm. After a few days of fighting wits and courage with this bootlicker, he felt that his state of mind had been sublimated and he was neither anxious nor impatient.
Zhang Xiaoshan replied: I brought a data cable and a charger, and charged them in the community carport or at the socket on the billboard near the store stall at night. I ate by begging for leftovers in restaurants with a plastic bag. The things that the customers didn’t eat were given to me. On the first day I begged with a plastic bag, someone gave me ten yuan. Now I have saved more than one hundred yuan, which is much better than working.
Wei Jie wanted to smoke, but he wanted to beat someone up even more!
This licking dog must die a miserable death! He doesn't deserve even a little sympathy!
