The next day, I went to school with Liu Jie early. Since the district wasn't far from Third High, it was only a ten-minute walk. Many students were surprised to see her return. After all, there were rumors that Liu Jie had already broken up with me. Due to my deterrence, they didn't dare to spread rumors. Now that Liu Jie had returned to school with me, the rumors were dispelled.
However, looking at the expressions of most of the students, it seemed like they hadn't had enough fun yet. Actually, it was already good enough to have a week off. As students, the most important thing was still their studies. However, when they saw that it was Teacher Liu who came to class and not Liu Yuhan, they were all shocked. When they found out that Liu Yuhan was injured, many of the students whispered that they wanted to visit her in the hospital. In comparison, Liu Yuhan wasn't as inflexible as Teacher Liu. Moreover, she treated every student very well.
Now that it was Teacher Liu, it meant that they would have to live a tough life of studying again.
After a class, Liu Jie went to the washroom. At this time, Lin Xiaoya came over and sat next to me. Ever since she started following Little Fatty, this girl became rosy and healthy. On the other hand, Little Fatty Wang was like a frosted eggplant. During class, he would shake his head and fall asleep. Recently, his grades had dropped a lot because they had rented a house outside. Even if he was young, his body couldn't take it.
Just like my previous body, I couldn't stand being tormented by sister-in-law every day. Therefore, I could understand Little Fatty's pain. Since Lin Xiaoya was looking for me, I might as well tell her.
"What's the matter?"
I asked casually. I didn't have a good impression of this girl. Since last time, she stood on Guo Tao's side and almost gave him a bite, I felt that she didn't have any principles. She was like a grass on top of a wall.
"Zhuang Feng, thank you for helping Lil 'Fatty. I didn't know that he would get addicted to the typewriter when I wasn't paying attention. Luckily, you discovered it early, or else he would really be in deep trouble." Lin Xiao Ya pouted, looking like she still had lingering fears.
"Oh, it's fine. I'm his bro, so it's natural for me to help him. However, as his girlfriend, shouldn't you take it easy? No matter if it's money or doing that kind of thing, you have to control yourself, understand?"
I said. Although she pretended to be innocent, I still felt that Little Fatty's addiction to the typewriter had something to do with Lin Xiaoya. The iPhone that she used was given by Little Fatty. It was a gift worth a few thousand. Not to mention high school students, even university students couldn't spoil Little Fatty like this. After all, giving him a phone when he had no source of income was just to show off.
She blushed and said, "I don't want to do that either. Little Fatty always wants to cause trouble. Can you blame me for that?"
"Could it be that you can't change his mind?"
I rolled my eyes. Little Fatty's situation was different from mine. Due to the Yin Harvesting Technique, my ability in bed had increased significantly. Moreover, I would stop every time and didn't go overboard.
As the saying goes, there are only cows that die from exhaustion, but there are no fields that are spoiled. I naturally understood this logic.
"Alright, then I'll pay more attention in the future. I came to you because I wanted to give you a suggestion," Lin Xiaoya said with a slightly nervous expression.
"Oh, if you have something to say, just say it," I waved my hand and said lightly.
"I think that sometimes you're too self-centered. You're right that you started the Fengliu Hall with good intentions, but have you ever thought that they aren't related to you? Who would have the obligation to work for you? You want the horse to run, but you don't give the horse grass to eat. How can there be such a good thing in the world?" Lin Xiaoya said with a trace of dissatisfaction in her voice.
I immediately understood her unspoken words. It was obvious that she was complaining that I didn't give them any compensation. Moreover, the Fengliu Hall's development was limited to the school. To put it bluntly, they didn't have a reasonable source of income, so they didn't have the motivation. This problem was indeed my negligence. I only wanted to be a boss that didn't do anything, but I didn't appease my subordinates. Thinking about it this way, I felt a little guilty. I couldn't blame Little Fatty for the typewriter. His financial ability was limited, and he had to find a way to spend money.
However, I could guess Lin Xiaoya's thoughts. Little Fatty and the others worked for me, but they didn't get any benefits other than the identity of a founding member. After all, the protection fees that they had received were all returned. The others were happy, but Little Fatty suffered because of it. Just the identity of a founding member wasn't enough to make a living.
"What's your opinion?" I asked.
Lin Xiaoya wasn't afraid of me and said bluntly, "If it's possible, I think those founding members should get a salary. That way, they will have more motivation to serve the Fengliu Hall. You can't just get rich while the other members starve to death, right?!"
"Mm, that makes sense. Alright, those founding members will get three thousand a month."
I agreed readily. Anyway, there were a few million in my card. Besides the Blood Wolf Hall's liquid funds, there was still more than one million that belonged to me. Paying them was a piece of cake.
Although Lin Xiaoya's words weren't pleasant to hear, they reminded me and made me feel sad. I used to be like them, but I had changed in the past few months. Unknowingly, I had grown to a level that they couldn't reach. Even though I was sitting in the same classroom, I could feel the respect and fear in the eyes of my classmates when they looked at me.
"Three thousand is too little … Their efforts aren't proportional to their gains." Lin Xiaoya bargained with me and finally set it at five thousand a month.
I had their WeChat, so I directly transferred five thousand to the three of them and explained the situation. However, they were a little embarrassed to accept it. I told them, "Alright, we're not strangers, so don't worry and take it." Instantly, they were grateful. You should know that for high school students, five thousand a month was enough to live a carefree life.
Coincidentally, I sent a message to my sister-in-law. "You have to go to school today, so you might not be able to go to the hospital. Rest well."
"Mm, Xiao Feng, your sister-in-law is fine. Study hard and don't worry about me."
Not long after, she replied with a message. I felt a little sad when I read it. Sigh, as expected, losing her child had given her a great blow and hurt.
