Chapter 155

155
Many people said that the big boss was disgusted by me, so he didn’t want to come to the construction site anymore.
I ignored all those hurtful words.
I worked as usual and had dinner as usual after work.
Life and work were no different from before.
The only difference was that hardly anyone was willing to talk to me.
When I was working, I silently organized the data and put it into storage by myself, and I commuted alone.
During mealtime, I often sat alone in the corner.
Wherever I was, they would not come near.
Actually, there’s nothing wrong with it. It doesn’t matter anymore. My main goal now is to make money.
On the fifteenth day, the personnel in the office finally received their salaries.
This was also the first time I officially received my salary.
Looking at the newly deposited ten thousand in my bank card, I can’t express how happy I was.
Payday was always a joyful day, and when it was time to leave work, office would buzz with excitement.

Bennett clapped his hands and exclaimed, “Come on, everyone! Today we got paid, and I’m treating you all to a meal.”
“Hey, Bennett, you were awesome! Thanks a lot, Bennett!”
“Bennett, I wanted to cat hot pot.”
“Bennett, how about we go for barbecue?”
The crowd was chattering away, when suddenly someone pointed at me and said, “Bennett, aren’t you going to ask her out?”
Bennett glanced at me with a frown, wearing a disgusted expression on
his face.
Without waiting for him to speak, I calmly said, “Thank you, but I have something to do after work.”
Bennett immediately snapped, “I never said I was going to treat you.”
I didn’t speak and silently organized my bag, getting ready to leave work.
Bennett suddenly stopped me and angrily asked, “What do you mean? Why do you ignore me when I talk to you?”
I looked at him indifferently and said, “All along, haven’t you been unwilling to talk to me? And moved my workstation to the corner?” Bennett was taken aback, looking as if I had left him speechless.
The other colleagues immediately cut in and sarcastically said, “Oh, you’re throwing a tantrum now, aren’t you? It was your mistake in the first place. Our department didn’t have our salaries deducted this time, it was just our luck.”
Bennett also hummed, “Exactly, I was actually planning to invite you to

go cat together, but I didn’t expect you to have this attitude.”
“Thank you, and I wish you all a happy meal. I’m leaving work now.”
“Hey, what’s with your attitude?”
Bennett’s frustrated voice echoed behind me, but I ignored him and hurriedly walked towards the exit of the construction site.
They already disliked me, it was just a meal, I didn’t need to endure their ridicule.
Just as I reached the exit of the construction site, I bumped into Auntie and Trevin.
Auntie smiled at me and said, “Esmeralda, did you receive your salary today?”
“Um.” I nodded.
Auntie added, “Well, that’s great! When girls receive their salary, they should save it properly and not spend it recklessly.”
“Well, I knew that, Aunt.”
“Esmeralda, we also got paid today. Let me treat you to some spicy hot pot.”
Trevin suddenly said to me, but he was elbowed by Auntie: “You only
girl to spicy know about spicy hot pot. What’s the big deal about treating a hot pot for the first time?”
Oh,” Trevin responded gloomily.
Aunt suddenly turned her eyes, and looked at me meaningfully…

Um, Esmeralda, this job that our Trevin introduced to you was good, right?
Look at those factories around here, working tirelessly, earning only five to six thousand a month.
Look at this job, sitting all the way, working from nine to five with weekends off, and the salary is so high, it’s like finding a treasure.
Speaking of which, if it weren’t for our Trevin, you probably wouldn’t have found such a good job, right?
“Yeah, that’s right. We really need to thank Trevin.” I said, looking at Trevin. “I’ll treat you guys to a meal later.‘
I knew that my aunt intentionally brought this up, just to make me treat her to a meal.
But I owed them a meal anyway.
Trevin quickly smiled and said, “No need, no need. How can I let a girl like you treat me to a meal, I…”
Trevin didn’t finish speaking when his aunt nudged him with her elbow and said to me with a smile on her face, “Actually, we don’t really care about this meal. I just want you to remember how good Trevin is.”
