Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 469 - 386, you know the score

Thinking of coming home and admitting defeat to the old man and watching his face, his heart was filled with reluctance.

If he were to go back and admit defeat this time, the old man would definitely ridicule him for a lifetime. Whenever he would take money, the old man would laugh at him each time.

He had his pride too. Thinking of this, Yuan Junkai turned back and said, "I’m not afraid of you laughing at me now, I need a job, and preferably, the wages could be paid daily."

If the wages weren’t paid daily, he, with only two dollars left in his pocket, wondered how he would survive the days ahead.

"I haven’t opened yet, so it’s definitely impossible to pay wages daily." Xiaofeng certainly couldn’t agree, "You can first try looking elsewhere, like at restaurant halls and liquor stores; they definitely hire temporary workers, and usually, the wages are paid daily."

"Really?" Yuan Junkai’s eyes lit up; as long as the wages could be paid daily, he wouldn’t starve on the streets.

Xiaofeng nodded, "You can give it a try."

"Alright, I generally dislike working, but if I really have to, I can definitely support myself. If you see my dad, don’t tell him I came here; don’t let him look down on me." Yuan Junkai straightened his clothes and walked past Xiaofeng with his head held high.

Halfway through, he turned back and asked, "Xiaofeng, are you really a subordinate of the Dragon King?"

He knew a few friends from the underworld; the name of the Dragon King was something he had heard of, known to be incredibly strong with no match on the streets.

However, in recent years, while everyone had heard of the Dragon King, almost no one had actually seen him.

"What do you think?" Xiaofeng didn’t directly answer.

"If you’re not, you better not talk nonsense and falsely admit it." Yuan Junkai decided to give Xiaofeng a favor, "Let me tell you, in the Imperial Capital, so many people want to find out the whereabouts of the Dragon King. If you say you’re one of his men, you don’t know how much trouble you’ll attract. The Dragon King is a legendary figure in the Imperial Capital."

If everyone could easily meet the Dragon King, they definitely wouldn’t be so curious about him.

Since the Dragon King had disappeared for many years, the sudden appearance of his subordinate would surely attract many people seeking information.

Among those inquiring, a large part would be looking for trouble. If Xiaofeng were not one of the Dragon King’s people, just using the name could bring so much trouble; it wouldn’t be worth it, would it?

"I’m just using the name of the Dragon King. Nobody in the Imperial Capital has seen him; how could I have seen him. Those people can’t be that stupid, to believe that?" Xiaofeng smirked, thinking those people couldn’t be that foolish to believe it.

"I’ve delivered the message. As for how to handle it, you decide for yourself. If you ask me, you’re no match for those people; better find a place to hide for a while, wait until the rumor has passed before coming out. Otherwise, both your little store and yourself might face a severe lesson."

The people on the streets do not reason much; everything is decided by punches.

If you can fight them, they will naturally admit defeat.

If you can’t beat them, you’ll end up being the one who is bullied and hurt.

"Thanks for the warning, I’ll be careful." Xiaofeng hadn’t expected the other person to warn her; this showed something. It showed that deep inside, they still retained some goodness and hadn’t become irredeemably bad.

It’s just that having endured little hardship in childhood, she became extravagant and clueless in spending money as she grew up.

Yuan Junkai’s face reddened.

Although he was much older than Xiaofeng, he was still a bachelor, and hearing a young girl thank him face-to-face naturally made his heart skip.

Without speaking, he rode his motorcycle to look for a job.

He believed that as long as he was willing to set aside his pride, finding a job wouldn’t be a concern.

Not long after Yuan Junkai left, Old Yuan appeared.

"Sir, I think he must be out of money. He slept inside last night, and when I came over, his clothes were dusty."

"This little rascal, he wasn’t made to endure hardships in his youth, now he can only taste the bitterness." Old Yuan’s heart ached, but he knew that if he didn’t let him endure hardships now, his path in the future would be even harder.

"He has gone to find a job now." As for whether he can endure hardship and work effectively, it would depend on his performance at work.

"If he comes back to you, just let him clean for you." If he has to work, of course, he should start with the most tiring and least dignified jobs.

"That’s what I was thinking too." Xiaofeng listened to Old Yuan’s words, and they exchanged a smile.
