My Life with Narration-Chapter 315 - 312: To Do or Not?

"I’m so fed up, why is going to work such a hassle? I just want to quit!"

At the night market food stall, Su Qing sat across from Wang Xing. As soon as they sat down, Wang Xing started complaining, looking quite out of sorts.

"What’s up? Did your boss make empty promises again?" Su Qing asked.

The two of them had gotten in touch around noon, and after work, Wang Xing rushed over to intercept him and dragged him here for a little gathering.

As for the duo of Wolong and Fengchu, he originally intended for them to join, but Lin Miaomiao said it would be too deliberate, so he suggested they gather on their own. She went back to pack some things, preparing to move.

Sun Mumu naturally knew her friend was chickening out, but you can’t force these things; it might backfire, so today it was just the two of them. Actually, not just them; there was also Big Yellow munching on a roujiamo.

That’s right, Big Yellow rarely eats dog food these days; its meals aren’t any less than humans’. After all, Big Yellow makes money, too.

He’s stingy, but not so much that he’d skimp on Big Yellow’s meals, so naturally, he only picks the best for it.

"No, it’s not that. It’s just this stupid client I encountered; she’s so darn annoying.

She ate the food, inquired about the prices, and I even gave her the lowest quote, but she just won’t sign the contract, drives me nuts.

With her budget, I guarantee there’s no one in Jiangcheng City offering a lower price than me. Not much money, high demands, and the worst part is she keeps asking for a discount. Damn it, the company doesn’t belong to me, how could she haggle like that?

Do you believe it? If I give her a bit of a discount, she’d still press for a lower price. I can’t deal with this, what kind of people are they!"

The business Wang Xing was doing now could indeed be seen as an unconventional sales job. He was earning commissions, and when business was good, he made quite a bit, easily over ten thousand a month. In fact, some sales champions in their company have made upwards of over a hundred thousand in just one month. In top-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai, there’s essentially no cap on sales’ salaries.

But there’s no free lunch in this world; the more you want to earn, the more you have to endure.

"That’s the price you pay for this kind of job. If it were relaxed with no issues and paid well, do you think it’d be available to you?" Su Qing replied, rolling his eyes.

"Yeah, I know, but... sigh, forget it. Do you have any jobs like Miss Wang’s? I feel I have a knack for tracking people," Wang Xing said.

"Are you not fully awake? Why are you dreaming so big?"

"I don’t want to either, but earning that kind of money feels so good. Just for a week, and they paid me twenty thousand, twenty thousand! It’s a shame since last weekend they’ve told me they don’t need me to follow them anymore. But Miss Wang said she’d contact me in the future if needed," Wang Xing said, his face full of longing.

"I think you’re more likely to marry into her family rather than making money this way; it’s unrealistic!" Su Qing rolled his eyes and advised.

This is the aftermath of making quick money. Once you’ve experienced it, the pace of earning through regular jobs becomes bland.

That’s how he was now, treating normal jobs as a spice of life, not taking them too seriously.

"Yeah, I know it’s unrealistic. Still, I’m really averse to socializing now. Qingzi, do you think there’s a job where I can avoid social interactions? Ideally, where the boss doesn’t bother me, colleagues don’t hassle me, clients don’t disturb me, and the pay isn’t bad?" Wang Xing asked, the exhaustion from dealing with that client evident.

But Wang Xing never expected that he’d actually get an answer, and one that was a perfect fit.

"Guess what, there really is!"

"Huh? Really? What job?"

Su Qing: "Working at a crematorium, burning bodies is not bad. No boss during the day, no boss at night, hardly any colleagues, and the clients don’t talk."

"But what if the clients do talk?" Wang Xing asked, shocked.

Su Qing gave a slight smile and replied, "Just turn the fire up all the way. The key part is, there are no repeat customers in this line of work. They’re constantly hiring, and the pay’s not bad."

Hearing this, Wang Xing’s eyes lit up, and he nodded. Don’t say, this job actually suited him. Most importantly, he wasn’t afraid of ghosts; he’d be the type to chase after NPCs in haunted houses.

In haunted houses, compared to him, even female ghosts could evoke a man’s protective instinct. Put it this way, if Wang Xing showed his pervy expression there, he’d want to protect the female ghost instead.

"Okay, I’ll look into it in the next couple of days. If the pay is really as good as you say, I might want to give it a try."

Hearing this, Su Qing chuckled lightly, shaking his head, "Don’t be too optimistic. In a place like a crematorium, you’d have to carry bodies. Just last week, we found a body in pieces, highly decomposed, a female corpse, very gruesome. Just one look and I lost my appetite for the whole day. It’s still lying in the police morgue now. Are you sure you can handle it?"

Hearing this, Wang Xing involuntarily gulped. Though he wasn’t afraid of ghosts, he couldn’t control feeling disgusted.

"Not all of them are like what you said, right?"

Now that Wang Xing knew he worked at the police station, he naturally understood that Su Qing was likely telling the truth.

"That’s true, but some time ago, a girl jumped off a building. Her body was also quite horrifying, eyes wide open, and there were those who died in car accidents, or drowned in the river..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking, I’ll just prepare for a government job exam. I’m thinking of becoming a prison guard!" Hearing about all the gruesome bodies in the crematorium, he immediately shrank back.

But upon hearing this, Su Qing was taken aback, "A prison guard? I thought you wanted to be a police officer?"

"No kidding, of course I want to be a cop, but you know how hard those exams are? Every year tons of police academy grads, and the competition is fierce. Do you think everyone can be as lucky as you, getting specially recruited by the police? With a prison guard, I think the pressure would be less. The exams start in October, registration is next month, and I’ve already started studying on my own!"

Su Qing couldn’t help but chuckle disdainfully. Him, self-study? What a joke.

"Hey, what’s with that face? You don’t believe me?"

"Sure, sure, I believe you, but are you sure that with just self-study here in our competitive exam province, you can outperform those who’ve been cramming? Take my advice, why don’t you sign up for a class?"

"You think I don’t want to? The key is that I can’t lose my job, right? I’m not like you, having a rich lady to take care of me. I’m a real man; I rely on myself!"

Su Qing: ...

"Alright then, this real man, do you want to help Lin move tomorrow?"

"Sure, the more friends you have, the more opportunities you get. Besides, I saved her too, so we’re friends. I found her the house; we keep in touch regularly. As long as I have enough female friends, they’ll definitely introduce me to someone."

Well, this guy is hopeless, like putting on pants to fart. He’s a second-degree mentally challenged person.

"By the way, do you want to come along tomorrow? I’m afraid I can’t handle it all by myself!"

To this, Su Qing waved his hand repeatedly. Since it’s your job, then you handle it from start to finish. Besides, even Wang Xing knows not to be a third wheel. As a person of normal intelligence, he certainly wouldn’t do such a thankless task. Who knows what the social beast will say about him behind his back?

In the evening, when Su Qing brought Da Huang home, he opened the door to find the house unusually lively.

"Wow, Da Huang, I missed you so much!" The little girl, seeing them return, rushed over and hugged Da Huang’s neck, making Da Huang look utterly resigned, not expecting to have to work overtime today.

The little girl then turned her head mischievously and asked, "Su Papa, where did you go? Did you settle your lady friends? Are they okay looking? Are they stunning?"

He was baffled by this and then glanced at the two women sitting on the sofa. Seeing Shen Yi blushing and the landlady smiling but puzzled, he squatted down and ruffled the little girl’s head and asked:

"What lady friends? Who told you that?"

"Mom said that, she...she said Su Papa, you...you can’t even settle a lady friend."

Su Qing: ...

Kids don’t have bad intentions; even if they do something wrong, it’s the parents’ teaching; that statement isn’t wrong at all.

He then ruffled her little head and let her play with Da Huang, then stepped forward and asked:

"Sister Wen, what did you say to the little girl now, about lady friends?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Nanqing couldn’t help but glance at Shen Yi, pursed her lips, and said: "I was saying, you’ve helped Xiao Yi with a big trouble, but can’t settle a lady friend. Xiao Yun wasn’t clear in her words. But this time we’ve gained a lot; you deserve the most credit. I was just discussing with Xiao Yi how to thank you. Now that you’re back, tell us, what do you want? As long as the two sisters can do it, they’ll satisfy you!"

As she spoke, she gave him a look, constantly glancing at Shen Yi, implying that he should be more proactive and preferably make some excessive requests while Shen Yi is happy, and settle the matter together.

"How about you check out my bill, it’s a small business, no credit transactions!"

The two women: ...

"I told you he can’t say anything good. Alright, I’m in a good mood today, let’s go out and have some fun. I’ll arrange it!" Shen Yi glared at him and then said.

Even Wen Nanqing looked at him with a ’you’re hopeless’ expression and finally could only smile helplessly.

"Alright then, I haven’t gone out in a while, let’s pack up and get ready to go!"

"Hey hey, not so fast, I just got back!"

"Go when you’re told to go, why so much nonsense!"

Su Qing: ...

Soon, the four of them set out by car.

In a dimly lit room, lying on the sofa, Shen Yi was lying next to him, wearing loose pajamas, one hand propped under her chin, her hair spread across her chest, looking at him lazily, and said softly:

"Have you ever done it before?"

Su Qing: "N-no, I haven’t?"

"Then do you want to try?" Shen Yi asked with a somewhat eager smile.

Seeing her slightly perverse expression, he instinctively shrank his neck and looked around nervously: "I’m a bit scared!"

"What are you afraid of? There’s a first time for everything. Oh come on, relax, it feels great! So, are you doing it or not?"

"Well... okay?"

Hearing this, Shen Yi immediately got up and said to the uniformed attendant beside them: "I’ll have a full body massage, give him a foot reflexology, get someone good, he’s sensitive!"

"Alright, miss, we’ll get that arranged for you right away!"

Hearing this, Su Qing hurriedly said: "Uh, can I also have a full body massage?"

"You dare!!"

Su Qing: ...

...
