What shift is 023 working on?

  As they came out of the park gate, an empty taxi happened to be passing by. Huang Guangyao told Ma Lili to hurry up and get in.

  The car was approaching the entrance of Malili's school. Huang Guangyao said to her, "Hurry up and go in, it's too late!" She wanted to send him off, but seeing that he looked very clear-headed, she didn't say anything.

  The taxi turned a small corner and went...

  Watching the car go away, Malili's intoxication came up, she suddenly felt dizzy on her head and empty in her heart...

  Ma Lili felt regretful about the friendship she had just established with Huang Guangyao, which didn't progress further. She thought it over and couldn't understand why Huang Guangyao would vomit after drinking wine. Was it fake wine? No! Normally she never drank strong liquor, but even if she did drink a few liangs, nothing big happened. That's because he normally didn't drink or rarely drank, with a small capacity for alcohol, so when he reached that point, he couldn't take it anymore.

  So why did he immediately agree and seem delighted when she called to invite him out for dinner? Because he also liked her. Otherwise, there would be no reason not to meet up.

  But several days have passed and he hasn't made a move yet? He should be able to tell that she likes him!

  There is only one reason, that is because Huang Guangya has a more beautiful woman by his side, and it's highly likely not just one or two, because among men, he is a crane standing out from the flock.

  Thinking of this, Malili felt even more depressed and couldn't sleep.

  It wasn't until almost dawn that Malory finally fell asleep, she was really too tired...

  When the white mist opened her eyes and looked at the wall clock, she was surprised. She knew she should wake up. For so many days, she hadn't had a smooth day. At this time in the past, her mother went out to teach classes, and she stayed at home, feeling safe and quiet, focusing on writing, very efficiently. In one day, tens of thousands of words were written effortlessly, uploaded online for serialization, with a considerable number of readers, and relatively stable income. Anyway, she could earn one or two thousand yuan per month, which was enough for her own living expenses if she was frugal.

  It's all over now, constantly dropping updates, dissatisfied readers, unhappy editors, and various rewards such as update bonuses, diligence bonuses, completion bonuses, subscription bonuses, popularity bonuses, etc. are all gone! As a result, income plummeted, forming a vicious cycle. What to do in the long run? Not to mention that my daily expenses have to rely on my mother now, isn't the dream of being an author for so long also going to shatter?

  After getting up and washing, she ate a little food. She was confused about how to arrange her morning. She really didn't want to code anymore, just like what Sunflower said, busy from dawn till dusk, tired to the point of waist pain and backache, how much money can be earned? Which one is better? Being with men, eating, drinking, chatting, laughing, singing, dancing, hugging, and finally stripping off clothes and lying on the bed, enjoying half a night, earning thousands or even tens of thousands easily!

  It really makes one's eyes red! It really makes one jealous! It really makes one angry!

  Just as Bai Mengmeng sat on the sofa with a dazed expression, unsure of what to do next minute or next hour, someone knocked on the door. The sound was very loud!

  Bai Mengmeng heard the sound of someone knocking on the door at this time, and her heart skipped a beat. She wondered who it was. Not her mom! She wouldn't be coming home at this hour, and she didn't have the habit of knocking on the door either, almost always using her own key to open it. Was it... someone who had come to the wrong place or Auntie from next door?

  Meng Meng got up and went to the door, first peeking through the cat's eye hole at the white fog outside. She heard a loud and clear woman's voice outside the door: "Meng Meng, open the door!"

  Sunflower!

  The water source used a threatening tone to the four people under the bright light, saying that they could keep their money but had to agree to one of three conditions. To everyone's surprise, the branch secretary chose to accept physical punishment and disability rather than hand over the money.

  Shui Quanyuan listened and almost burst out laughing.

  Just as Shuiyuan finished speaking, Zhi Shu suddenly said loudly: "Good, I choose the first one: ten fingers, each finger cut off a section! Can you keep your word?"

  The water source saw the branch book wanting money but not life, and felt very amused in his heart. But can you laugh in such a special situation? Of course not! He stood up, his voice louder than the branch book's loud voice, he waved his right arm and shouted to the branch book: "Can!"

  The branch secretary sneered: "Specifically, how can you?"

  "I may be a bad person, just like the village director said, a rascal who kidnapped you, or even a scoundrel with no redeeming qualities! However, regardless of what kind of person someone is, most people value their reputation. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be considered human! Specifically, Secretary Zhang, if we cut off the first joint of your ten fingers and immediately use an effective folk remedy, stone lime water, to stop the bleeding, it will certainly hurt, but you've experienced that before, and it won't cause excessive blood loss leading to death." He took a few sips of water and continued, "After cutting off the front part of your ten fingers and stopping the bleeding, if you can bear the pain and don't want to rest for a while, we'll immediately send you back to the surface. You can drive yourself home, or if you're temporarily unable to drive, we'll take you to your doorstep or the village entrance. How about that? Is this considered a concrete measure?"

  "Alright, come on, chop!"

  Shui Quanyuan said to Zhao Ganquan: "Obedience is better than respect. Let's get started!"

  However, when Zhao Ganquan raised the small and bright chopping knife to swing at Zhang Shu's hand, Qian Lifen loudly said to Zhao Ganquan: "Stop!"

  Bai Mengmeng heard Sunflower's voice outside the door, and her heart was filled with a mix of emotions. She was extremely conflicted, more so than ever before. She knew that Sunflower had come to persuade her to "take the plunge". In the past, she didn't know how many times Sunflower had tried to drag her into the dating pool. Of course, Sunflower wouldn't directly say what she wanted Bai Mengmeng to do, but would instead say: "A woman should have a boyfriend when she's grown up! It's only natural for men and women to get married, who would say otherwise?" Sunflower claimed that she had plenty of information about men who liked Bai Mengmeng, and all it took was a nod from her to line them up. However, before meeting the man of her dreams, Bai Mengmeng didn't want to deal with Sunflower's matchmaking attempts.

  I don't want to think about the past anymore. Sunflower, this extraordinary woman, she's standing at the door, her hand knocking forcefully, her mouth shouting loudly, can't not let her in! Of course, I have to let her in. As for other things, that's for next step.

  Sunflower entered the room, and the two people habitually sat down in Bai Mengmeng's room. Sunflower pulled out a string of handsome men's photos from her phone, most of whom were between 20 and 30 years old, to show Bai Mengmeng.

  Sunflower smiled and said to Bai Mengmeng: "Baby, how about them? Even if you close your eyes and pick one, it won't be bad! The men I recommend to you, can any of them not be impressive? This is their appearance; they are also talented, all with bachelor's degree or above, with high knowledge and cultural quality. What makes women's eyes shine and hearts excited is that none of these men are not wealthy!"

  She looked at several photos with a serious expression. Indeed, they were all quite good-looking men. She knew what kind of tricks Sunflower had up her sleeve: the men in these photos didn't know how many girls they had played with; Sunflower wanted to introduce them to her, so she could be like her too, and get involved with men, instead of typing away or going to work, and playing with these men for a few hours would earn more than working hard for a month, half a year, or even a whole year!
