7 The Troublemakers Had Arrived (1/2)

Xiao Luo did not tell his family about his resignation and car accident. As a man, and a twenty-six-year-old man at that, he would try his best to hide anything that would cause worry for his family.

Besides, he had more than 4,000 dollars in savings. Even if he had no source of income, that money would still cover him for a while. Not to mention, he had now merged with the Genius System Without Equal. Work could be done in minutes; there was no need to worry about anything at all.

He stretched and yawned.

In his three years of working for Huahai Corporation, he had to rotate shifts (day shift and night shift) once a month, every month. There were various sorts of overtime. His daily routine was highly irregular, plus he had just been in a car accident. Although he was saved by the system, his body did not seem to be entirely back to its nimble state yet. He felt tired and sleepy at the moment.

He collapsed into bed, pulled the sheets over his head, and immediately fell into a deep slumber. His rest was extraordinarily stable and pleasant: the best he had experienced in these three years.

When he woke up, it was already past nine in the evening.

After entering the bathroom and taking a bath, he went out for supper to solve the practical problem of hunger.

He paired a black shirt with slim black pants. Dressed from head to toe in black, he gave off a mysterious feeling.

He chose to have supper at a small stall. The stall owners were a middle-aged couple. The husband grilled while the woman cooked some noodles. Also, there were beer and other beverages. The business was quite good.

Xiao Luo often came here to eat. As time passed, he became familiar with this middle-aged couple.

”Coming!”

The husband, greeting him warmly, said, ”The usual?”

”Hm, yep. The same old.”

Xiao Luo nodded and found an empty table where he sat down.

Zhang Dashan was calling him on his mobile.

Xiao Luo really wanted to chew him out. He was such a big mouth that he could not keep any secrets.

”Why do you always call me about nothing? You think phone calls are free?” Xiao Luo complained unhappily when he pressed the answer button.

Zhang Dashan was startled. ”F*ck me. Did you eat explosives or what? You're so angry. Okay, okay. I'll call you on WeChat.

”That'll exceed my data.”

”Do you think I'm stupid? You have 4GB per month, but you don't listen to music or watch movies that often. Exceed your data? Bullsh*t!” Zhang Dashan became impatient.

At that moment, a bowl of Sanxian noodles was served.

Xiao Luo coughed dryly, and said in a stern voice, ”Okay, I'm not talking nonsense with you anymore, I'm eating now.”

”Motherf*cker, why didn't you call me to eat too? Aren't we bros?” Zhang Dashan complained immediately.

Xiao Luo grew exasperated. ”You are more than 40 kilometers away. Would you actually have come if I called you? Just the petrol alone is enough for you to eat several bowls.”

”My bro, you can't calculate it like that. Compared with our friendship, that little bit of petrol money is less than nothing.” Zhang Dashan nagged earnestly.

Xiao Luo couldn't be bothered with him now. He was too hungry. Picking up his chopstick, he became engrossed in his food.

Zhang Dashan also became serious as he spoke of proper matters. ”By the way, Lao Xiao, did you really resign today?”

”Yes.”

Xiao Luo answered truthfully, and then quickly urged, ”Don't tell my sister about this, or else I'll end our friendship.”

His sister, Xiao Ruyi, was a big mouth like Zhang Dashan. If Xiao Ruyi knew about his resignation, he could guarantee that his phone would be blowing up with calls from his family the next day.
