62 Simply Too Poor (2/2)

Since the shooting of the PV was out of the city, Hui Yin had to make sure she was prepared for it. She bought an umbrella, a spray bottle of mosquito repellent, some basic first aid kit supplies, and because she was broke, a couple of street-food sticky rice dumplings for lunch.

While eating them, Hui Yin also glanced at the windows of the shops nearby, hoping to see a sign announcing that they needed a part-timer to work for them.

When her search ended up in nothing, Hui Yin walked into a small clothing store where everything was sold at a discount, hoping that she could buy some cheap clothes she could wear for tomorrow. In only a breath of time, Hui Yin strolled out again, her face black.

Hui Yin took a sad glimpse at her wallet.

The crux of the matter was—she was simply too poor!

Her wallet was basically a prop, the pockets in her jeans a waste of space. For poor people like her, even a skirt sold at half the original price was a luxury.

Hui Yin went back to her apartment with a growing thundercloud hanging above her head, feeling depressed. She turned on the television, but all the food commercials just made her stomach growl even louder.

At that moment, someone knocked on her door.

Hui Yin opened it, only to see Assistant Yan's nervous face. He cleared his throat awkwardly.

”Miss Hui, the boss—ahem, I mean CEO and Chairman Lu—sent me here to take back the contract...”

Hui Yin didn't let him finish, and grabbed the lapels of his pressed white shirt. Her eyes twinkled, and although Yan often thought that Miss Hui was really an unparalleled beauty, this look of hers suddenly made him feel terrified.

Hui Yin licked her lips.

”Assistant Yan, you want the contract? I'll sell it to you at a fixed price.”
