Chapter 539 460: New World_1

"Name?"

"..."

"Name?"

"..."

"Hey! Kid, did you not hear me talking?"

The exquisitely dressed supervisor behind the desk frowned and examined the Little Brag who had come for the interview. "Name?!"

Finally coming to his senses amid sudden dizziness, Huai Shi broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't help but adjust his tie, gasping for breath. He inadvertently pulled a little too hard. The tie he bought from a street stall started to unravel.

What the hell?

He looked around in astonishment, somewhat taken aback. Soon, the strange feeling that had emerged in his heart quickly dissipated, replaced by waves of panic.

It's all over; I've screwed it up. The job I finally got through Old Yang...

"What's the matter with you?" the supervisor rapped on the desk irritably. "Did you space out all the way here? Kid, could you at least take the job seriously?"

"Sorry, sorry," Huai Shi eked out an embarrassed smile. "I'm just... I'm just feeling a bit unwell."

Feeling dizzy, he stood up to bow in apology but almost ended up face-first on the ground. Unable to control himself, he started to throw up. After he had finished, seeing the plain noodles he had eaten at noon on the floor, his heart sank to its lowest point.

What a disaster.

The supervisor was furious. But seeing Huai Shi's pale complexion, he eventually couldn't help but sigh. "Never mind. What's wrong with you young people? How can you be so malnourished?"

"Huh?" Huai Shi was bewildered.

"Iron deficiency, zinc deficiency, and severe anemia," the supervisor came over, brows furrowed, scrutinizing his condition. "How did you let yourself get like this?"

"Sorry, I just... wasn't prepared," Huai Shi said awkwardly, wiping his mouth and looking around for a mop and broom. "I'll clean this up right away."

"Forget it, we have a cleaning lady for that; you don't need to," the supervisor said with irritation, shaking his head. "Forget about the job interview. Kid, you don't look fit for service. Just don't start the job and end up spewing blood on the customers."

"No, I was just..."

"Enough, don't try to fool me," the supervisor shook his head. "Before I did this job, I was a master of nutrition. Your condition is clearly due to prolonged nutritional deficiency... Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu!! Where did you go?"

Soon, footsteps could be heard outside. A disgustingly handsome face poked in. "Supervisor, you called me... Geez, what's with the newbie? Is he pulling some grand stunt?"

"Stunt my ass, he threw up!"

The supervisor grabbed a pen from the nearby desk and threw it, angrily commanding, "Hurry up and find him a private room to rest in, then call the cleaning lady to tidy up. Damn it, I have guests this afternoon, and this delay has been so long..."

"Alright, alright."

Xiao Liu shrugged, supported Huai Shi's shoulders to escort him to a private room, and even ordered him a bowl of noodles from the kitchen. "Our noodle dishes here are exceptional," he said. "Many people come just for this... You just rest easy. There's no hurdle too high for young people; don't be sad."

Huai Shi lay on the bed, feeling dizzy and disoriented. He ate the noodles and then fell soundly asleep, only to wake up and find it was already the next day.

The first thing he thought when he opened his eyes was,

It's all over; I've lost my job.

And secondly... there's something off about this workplace. Why did I hear such strange noises last night? It sounded like someone groaning and panting.

He was puzzled for a long time before realization dawned on him. Could there be a gym downstairs?

"You awake?" The door pushed open, and the man named Xiao Liu from yesterday leaned on the doorway, examining him. "So skinny, that's really sad... Someone has come to pick you up."

With that, he winked, making faces at Huai Shi. "It's a really beautiful teenage girl."

Huai Shi's heart sank completely.

It's all over.

Outside the door, the girl in the wheelchair put down her book and looked over indifferently. "So, you refuse my mother's assistance and want to make it on your own... by being a Cowherd?"

"Little Qing, listen to my explanation."

"It's okay, I understand," the Teenage Girl nodded knowingly. "Some people can't resist the temptation to get rich overnight and choose a path of downfall. I've heard that the joy ball service here from the rich madams is quite famous. I hope you'll work hard in the future."

"Don't, don't do this... I'm innocent!" Huai Shi protested desperately. "It's all Old Yang's fault!"

Ai Qing didn't linger on this for long. She knew what was going on. Naturally, she wouldn't think Huai Shi came here to sell himself; he didn't have the guts for that...

"Alright, let's go."

She patted the armrest of her wheelchair. "My mom is still waiting in the car outside."

As a result, Huai Shi's headache worsened.

Ever since Huai Shi's parents disappeared after embezzling donations, his teacher, Miss Ai, and her family had been continuously supporting him. Otherwise, he would not have made it this far.

Miss Ai was quite willing to adopt Huai Shi, but he couldn't stand feeling like a burden, having everything handed to him. He always wanted to make his own way.

This time, in his attempt to make some money, he had accidentally ended up at the Cowherd Club. Now Teacher Ai would probably not allow him to work on his own anymore.

Huai Shi walked out the door with a heavy heart, carrying his cello. Seeing the gentle face behind the rolled-down car window, he couldn't help but pause for a moment.

For some reason, his eyes suddenly began to water.

"What's wrong?" Teacher Ai couldn't help shaking her head and sighing. "Afraid I'm going to scold you?"
