Chapter 0015: How to Earn One Million in a Month

Sure enough, despite Qin Xiaonan's fierce appearance, she let Ye Wudao stay the night in the end, her tough exterior masking a soft heart. Of course, she only allowed him to sleep on the sofa and even made it clear that Ye Wudao had to scram first thing in the morning.

Having a sofa to sleep on was more than enough for Ye Wudao, and he certainly wasn't going to make any more unreasonable requests. He thought to himself that although "Airport Girl" might have a bit of a temper, at heart she was quite nice. Of course, there was also the fact that her breasts were a bit on the small side, but her feet were nice.

If Qin Xiaonan had known what Ye Wudao was really thinking, she'd have kicked him out without a moment's hesitation. Meanwhile, Ye Wudao curled up on the sofa, his mind occupied with the guy named Li Junshuo that Qin Xiaonan had mentioned earlier, giving him a sense of crisis.

"I can't let that Li Junshuo steal my wife away. I've got to earn a million yuan fast," Ye Wudao resolved firmly.

But as much as he thought about it, he had no idea how to make a million in a month, and his old man had never taught him the art of making money.

After racking his brains for most of the day and still coming up empty, he suddenly thought of Qin Xiaonan. Surely, she would have some ideas. At this thought, sleep completely eluded him, and he climbed off the sofa, walked to the door of Qin Xiaonan's room, and started knocking "bang bang bang..."

"What do you want?"

Qin Xiaonan was just getting ready to sleep when she was startled by the incessant knocking. She asked with a scowl on her face.

"Uh, Airport Girl, I just wanted to ask if you know of any way I could make a million in a month?" Ye Wudao decided to ignore her dark expression and asked in a hopeful tone.

"There is."

Qin Xiaonan's stone-faced response gave Ye Wudao the feeling that a volcano was about to erupt.

"Really? That's great! Can you tell me the method? I'll owe you one."

Ye Wudao's eyes lit up as he said this excitedly.

"In your dreams."

After saying this, Qin Xiaonan slammed the door shut with a loud 'bam', nearly flattening Ye Wudao's nose.

"Crazy man, if there really was a way to make a million in a month, I'd have done it by now. I wouldn't need to work nine to five every day, slaving away for a measly few thousand yuan a month. You might as well go rob a bank," she muttered under her breath from inside her room, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Rob a bank? Hey! That's not a bad idea, considering those security guards at the bank are no match for me," Ye Wudao's eyes shone again as he seriously contemplated Qin Xiaonan's 'suggestion'. However, he quickly deflated when he realized that if his old man found out he was planning a bank heist, he'd beat the crap out of him without a second thought. That's definitely something he couldn't afford to do.

By the time Qin Xiaonan got out of bed the next day, she emerged from her room with dark circles under her eyes, only to find that Ye Wudao had apparently left at some point, which made her breathe a huge sigh of relief.

She actually hadn't slept at all last night, naturally worrying that Ye Wudao, that lecher, might take advantage of her while she slept, especially since he certainly didn't seem like a good person to her.

Even though Ye Wudao had left, Qin Xiaonan still didn't feel at ease and carefully checked her belongings at home to see if anything was missing. After she finished inspecting, she glanced at the wall clock and suddenly yelled out in panic, realizing it was already past eight o'clock and she still had to go to work.

At that thought, Qin Xiaonan hurried into the bathroom to wash up, but once she stepped in, she realized that her foot didn't hurt anymore.

At first, she didn't believe it and deliberately jumped a few times, only to find that her foot really was healed, as good as new. There was no sign at all of the sprain from the previous night.

All of a sudden, Qin Xiaonan remembered Ye Wudao's treatment from last night. It seemed that the guy hadn't deceived her after all, and perhaps had a bit of conscience. But she quickly recalled the reality that she was about to be late and stopped thinking about Ye Wudao, rushing to finish her morning routine.

At that moment, Ye Wudao was carrying his old rattan suitcase, looking for a job around town. Qin Xiaonan's words from the night before probably had stung him, and he was worried that the young and rich, not to mention handsome, Li Junshuo would steal his thunder, so he needed to find a job that would earn him a million within a month, and fast.

However, reality was cruel, or rather brutal would be more apt. It wasn't long before Ye Wudao was battered and bruised by reality.

He saw a hiring sign by the roadside and immediately rushed excitably to apply. It was a breakfast shop, and the interviewer was the owner of the shop.

"The work here is very simple, doesn't require any special skills, just some strength is enough," said the owner of the breakfast shop early that morning, pleased to see someone coming in to apply, especially a young person who, although shabbily dressed, seemed to have no lack of strength.

"That's great, I have plenty of strength," Ye Wudao replied excitedly.

"Good, we're short-staffed at the breakfast shop. Would you have a problem starting to work right now?" asked the breakfast shop owner, a straightforward person, ready to hire Ye Wudao on the spot.

"Of course not, but boss, how much is the salary?" Ye Wudao felt his moment of happiness was approaching; he would soon split the iceberg and win the beauty.

"You can rest assured about the salary. My shop does very good business, surely not less than others. If you do a good job, I'll even give you a big bonus at the end of the year," declared the breakfast shop owner with a hearty slap to his chest.

Ye Wudao's eyes brightened at the mention of a bonus, but he couldn't work until the end of the year; he could only work a month. "Boss, you don't have to worry about the bonus. I plan to work only one month. Just pay me a million for this month and that will be fine," he said generously.

The breakfast shop owner, who was sipping tea from a teapot, suddenly spluttered, spraying the tea he had just put in his mouth everywhere. It took him a while to look at Ye Wudao and ask, "What did you just say?"

"Boss, you only need to pay me a million for one month, and I won't need the bonus," Ye Wudao said magnanimously, thinking to himself that the boss would surely be overwhelmed with gratitude for not taking the bonus.
