“What kind of research are you going to do with her? I’m warning you…” Sam Marott lowered his voice, but before he could finish speaking, Sue glanced at him.
That one glance made him instantly obedient.
His warnings or threats were so weak, like cursing someone that they would die sooner or later—completely pointless.
Regardless, it's a done deal that this mysterious and powerful guy, Sue, has become one of the bar's owners. Since Sam Malott is powerless to object, he can only accept it and hope that Sue won't do anything too outrageous.
Sam Marott put the $100,000 given to him by Sue into the vault. Sue, while cleaning, would occasionally steal glances at Sue, trying to continue reading his mind.
Mr. Su was sitting in the corner by the window, texting Caroline. Caroline's weekend date invitation had finally arrived, but he had to decline for the time being. It wasn't entirely Elena's fault; he was busy with Love in Blood, so the date with Caroline had to wait.
"Hi."
After finishing her work, Su Qi couldn't help but move closer to Su Shi. Su Shi finished sending a text message without looking up, and then looked up at the somewhat nervous Su Qi: "I don't like your teeth."
After saying that, Su took out her wallet and pulled out several hundred dollars: "If you can guarantee that you won't show your teeth when you're facing me, this money is your reward."
The girl, who was perfectly fine, had huge front teeth when she opened her mouth, with gaps so wide they looked like horses could run across them. This made Su Shi, who was surrounded by people of Elena, Caroline, Olivia, and Anna's caliber, feel quite uncomfortable.
……
P.S.: He was actually quite alright when he was little and mischievous, I don't know why the gap between his teeth is so prominent in True Love Like Blood!
Chapter 105 An Ambitious Small-Town Girl
Caught in a dilemma, Su Qi is torn between leaving and staying.
But she finally understood why her new boss had told her to shut up—it was because he didn't like her teeth, which left her speechless.
"No need for a reward. I'll try my best not to show my teeth in front of you, although I don't think it's a big deal," Su Qi retorted gently.
"Are you serious?"
Su looked at Su Qi in surprise. Su Qi wanted to say that she was serious, but her guilty conscience made her subconsciously shut her mouth when Su stared at her.
"Never mind, it's not important." Madam Su shook her head.
This is important!
Su Qi couldn't help but mentally retort before asking, "What...what's your relationship with Sam? Why did you suddenly become one of the bar owners? Did you just move to Liangchen Town?"
Do you have any suitable houses to recommend?
Buying a house in a new place is a basic practice for the Su family. After all, the supernatural creatures in True Blood don't all appear at once. Whether they live there or not is another matter, but they always need a place to settle down.
Moreover, studying the chakra of supernatural beings requires a quiet and secluded place.
"Would you mind sharing an apartment with someone?" Before Su Qi could answer, a girl wearing the same uniform as her, but with a completely different effect, walked over from the direction of the kitchen.
"Don," Su Qi greeted Don.
Don nodded in response, smiled, put his arm around Sue's shoulder, and bowed slightly to introduce himself, "My name is Don Green, and this is our second meeting."
Second meeting?
Su looked at the overly familiar Tang En and couldn't recall where he had seen her before, but he did know who Tang En was.
Don Green is Suki's high school classmate, a waitress at the Marott Bar, and also one of Suki's brother Jason's girlfriends? If you could call her a girlfriend.
Speaking of which, Su Shi also remembered her face. In the movie Wolverine 1, she played Wolverine's girlfriend Silver Fox, a mutant who could control other people's minds through touch, and also the White Queen's sister.
"Are you in a good mood today? How about... celebrating again?" Don asked meaningfully.
"Fantasia Bar?" Su realized.
Don smiled and nodded: "Although you don't remember me, I have a vivid and deep memory of you. That was my first time going to the Fantasia Bar, and also the first time I met a handsome guy who bought drinks for everyone in the bar."
“I have a spare room at my place. If you buy me a drink, I don’t need you to split the rent.” Don winked.
Su Qi was speechless upon seeing this. "Tang En, he... he's our new boss."
"Sam quit?" Don asked in surprise.
Su Qi shook her head: "No, it should be that I've invested in it."
"I see." Tang En said with a grin, "Then I'll be even more determined to help the new boss solve his problems. What if the new boss is happy and gives me a raise?"
Having witnessed Su's extravagant spending at the bar, and seeing the value of the designer brands he wore, and even after Su became his boss, Tang En not only didn't restrain himself, but became even more enthusiastic.
Su pushed away Tang En's arm from her shoulder and said with a smile, "Salaries will definitely increase. Starting today, everyone's base salary will increase by fifty percent. As for sharing an apartment, forget it. I'm not used to sharing with others. However..."
"After buying the house, I might need someone to clean it for me regularly, someone who pays me a salary."
Su Shi used to wear designer clothes as if they were disposable, so he would never do things like cleaning or washing clothes.
Hiring a maid or cleaner temporarily is very useful. They can do chores and run errands, and at other times they can keep an eye out for supernatural events in town. Most importantly, they are cheap and good. How great is that?
Tang En and Su Qi were surprised that Su's family wanted to buy a house instead of renting one, and that they would hire someone to clean it long-term. Hiring someone to clean it was too extravagant. Did they have money to burn?
Surprised as I was, recalling Su's behavior, I knew he must be the kind of rich person who spends money like water, so it's normal for him to have such a request, right?
“I think the house next door is for sale. I can take you to see it,” Don said.
"Okay."
The Su family didn't delay. Anyway, all the houses in Liangchen Town were pretty much the same, so there wasn't much to choose from. If the other party was willing to sell, they would just buy it directly.
A little over an hour later, the Su family acquired another property.
The house was a typical detached house with two floors, a garage, and an attic. In order to move in as soon as possible, the Su family paid an extra moving fee so that the original owner could move out in less than half an hour.
· ····Requesting flowers·· ······
"Boss, what do you think of me?" Tang En couldn't help but ask after witnessing Su's house-buying process as casually as buying groceries.
Su smiled and looked at Tang En: "I heard you seem to have a boyfriend, Su Qi's brother?"
“Jason?” Don looked incredulous. “How could that be? That guy is very charming, but his charm only works in small towns like this. He’s nothing outside of this place. I’m not willing to stay in this small place for the rest of my life.”
“An ambitious small-town girl,” Su said with a smile. “I can give you the opportunity; whether you can seize it is up to you.”
0 .. 0
With that, Ms. Su tossed a key to Tang En. "Do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood, boss, don't worry, I'll clean this place spotless." Although it wasn't what he expected, Tang En was still very excited.
Su left the house to the energetic Tang En, then found a place to leave the Flying Thunder God mark, and immediately teleported back to Mysterious Waterfall Town.
Elena texted him when he was buying the house to ask if he was busy and if he had time to have lunch together. Su agreed.
It was obvious that Elena already knew she had refused Caroline's weekend invitation, so... her lunch invitation was clearly just a girl's little scheme.
Don't think she's really that mature. She can't talk about this kind of drama where she gets rejected by her best friend and then gets invited back, but she must be secretly pleased and smug.
For girls, this is a common little trick to prove their charm.
Mysterious Waterfall Town, a desolate forest.
A gentle breeze blew by, and Elena, who had just taken out her lunch, turned around as if sensing something, and smiled at the suddenly appearing Su Shi: "You've come."
"I am coming."
"you……"
Before Elena could finish speaking, Su raised an eyebrow thoughtfully and said for her, "You shouldn't have come."
Elena was completely confused: "Shouldn't I have come? Why? But I'm already here."
Upon hearing Elena, who completely missed the joke, say "I'm here," Su chuckled, suddenly realizing how silly she was.
Chapter 106 The Maid with a Monthly Salary of 50,000
Although the environment wasn't exactly beautiful or romantic, it was quiet and undisturbed; the conversations were mostly meaningless chatter, but they weren't boring or awkward at all; as for the mediocre and unremarkable lunch—well, we were content with just the food and drink.
Overall, the date was nice.
It's worth mentioning that Elena seems to have become more confident after proving her charm. Not only did she give a nearly ten-minute farewell and encouragement before parting, but she also volunteered to come over that evening to help clean the new house.
Su refused. One of the differences between Liangchen Town and Mysterious Waterfall Town is that there are many vampires in Liangchen Town and the surrounding area. Since Sam Marott, the shapeshifter, can fish out chakra, it is natural to try whether vampires can.
After teleporting Elena back to school, Su returned to her new home in Liangchen Town.
After being away for more than an hour, 020 Tang En had already tidied up the house quite well, which surprised Su Shi to be honest.
Don only appeared as a minor character in a few episodes, and aside from letting the audience know about her wildness, her relationship with Jason, and introducing Eric from the Fantasia bar, she was killed before she could be shown more.
The only memorable moment was when Jason and Donald argued while Jason was dying, and Donald shot him out.
That's a really impressive performance!
As for now, Su felt that Tang En had not yet experienced the blows of reality and was still full of ambition and hope for his future. Although his personality was still proactive, bold and daring to seize opportunities, he did not have the indifference of resigning himself to fate.
There are countless girls like her who want to leave the small town, but few succeed. The poorer a person is, the harder it is to turn their life around. Most people are defeated, accept reality, and settle for the status quo, and this cycle repeats itself generation after generation.
Even if she isn't killed like in the show, her fate would probably be similar to Vicky's before she changed.
"Boss, how is it? Are you satisfied?" Tang En wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Su Shi for praise with a hint of pride.
"Clean the house once a day, and do my laundry occasionally. How much do you want each month?" Su smiled and reminded her, "Be bold, I'm only giving you one chance!"
"A maid..." After considering the job duties and the approximate salary, Don boldly said, "One thousand US dollars!"
With great effort, it cost a thousand US dollars.
Looking at the somewhat apprehensive Tang En, Su smiled and said, "Do you know how much the last person who ran errands for me earned in a month?"
"How much, how much?"
"Twenty thousand!"
"So much?" Don covered his mouth in surprise. Just running errands and he gets 20,000 US dollars a month? That's too outrageous!
“I’ll give you 50,000, but I have a few requirements.” Su immediately doubled the amount and added another 10,000.
Don nodded: "I understand."
Su rolled her eyes at her, "I haven't even said anything yet, what do you know?"
"You should be chaste and self-disciplined. I don't want you to have any romantic entanglements while working for me."
