42: Chapter 42 What's my skill level? I'm good enough to make six girls cry at a karaoke bar!

Qin Xun looked at her hand, thinking she wanted comfort, so he reached out and gave it a firm squeeze.

"All the beauty in the world is linked to you."

Feeling his broad palm, the warmth from his hand was transmitted to her.

Thinking of the lyric, "Let the cherry blossoms secretly kiss your forehead."

Xia Ning's face flushed slightly, feeling a bit hot.

Her throat felt tight, but she feigned composure and spoke very politely.

"Thank you for the song you dedicated to me."

However, she saw Qin Xun let go of her hand and wipe his palm against his trousers.

"You're welcome."

He jumped down from the coffee table, and seeing Xia Ning staring at his hand, he said sheepishly.

"Your hand was a bit sweaty."

Xia Ning: "..."

Hah!

Was I being shunned by him again?

Having already drawn the prize, Qin Xun seemed to have entered a state of post-climax reflection, feeling rather uninterested.

He took Xia Ning and Liu Yiyi and left the KTV amidst the pleas of the four girls to "Sing one more song."

By this time, it was nearly six in the evening.

It was that delightful time to get off work again.

He had to go deliver food and earn some slacking-off value.

The system had just given him a prompt.

[slacking-off value: 0]

[50,000 slacking-off value until the next draw]

Qin Xun felt a bit helpless.

This system was probably turned into a capitalist.

Previously, he could draw with 10,000 points, but now it seemed that since it saw he was exceptionally gifted and reached the drawing criteria so quickly, it had actually increased by five times.

Now it required 50,000!

How black-hearted!

Qin Xun put Liu Yiyi, who was tipsy but pretending to be drunk and acting rowdy, insisting on clinging to him, into a taxi and told the driver to take her to the hotel.

Then, he turned his head to look at Xia Ning, who was behind him with a half-smile, and instructed her.

"Contact that little rich woman. I'll take that order of hers."

Xia Ning was a bit confused.

"What rich woman?"

Qin Xun reminded her: "The rich woman singer you mentioned earlier who wants to break out of her niche. Contact her quickly; I want to have a friendly and cordial exchange with her tomorrow."

Xia Ning: "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Qin Xun replied.

"Circumstances are different now."

"What level do you think my singing is at now?"

Xia Ning thought about it carefully.

"I don't know much about this, but I think… you sing better than my high school vocal teacher."

She attended an international school in high school, and her vocal teacher was extremely capable, often serving as a judge in various competitions, big and small, in Haicheng.

She repeated, emphasizing her tone.

"You sing very well."

Qin Xun puffed out his chest, feeling a bit proud.

"What level am I at?"

"The level of making 6 princesses cry at KTV!"

Xia Ning: "..."

She clenched her fists.

"Who are you calling a princess?"

Seeing that Xia Ning seemed angry, Qin Xun walked to the roadside in a few steps, hopped on his e-bike, and zoomed away with a swoosh.

"See you tomorrow!"

Xia Ning watched his receding figure, looking stunned.

He just left like that?

He really left?

Suddenly, she thought of something and frowned slightly.

He was riding a bike now, so he must have come on the bike earlier.

He carried Liu Yiyi over here, but refused to give me a ride back?

Xia Ning stood on the roadside, watching Qin Xun disappear around the street corner, her expression turning cold.

She picked up her phone and dialed the traffic police.

"Hello, I want to report someone for speeding on an e-bike."

After a pause, her voice rose an octave.

"And carrying a passenger!"

The other end of the line fell silent!

It seemed they had never received such an absurd report and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Qin Xun delivered food for three hours.

He completed three orders, gained 30 points of slacking-off value, and returned home satisfied.

He returned to the urban village, went up to the third floor, walked into the hallway, and saw his room door open.

Qin Xun found it a bit strange and quickened his pace.

"Did I get robbed?"

He walked to the door and looked inside.

He was startled.

"Holy crap!"

He saw a large hole in the middle of the wooden door, as if it had been kicked by a wild boar.

The floor tiles were smashed all over the place.

The nightstand was shattered into a pile of wood chips on the floor.

The bed had been dismantled, and the quilt was thrown on the floor.

Even the light bulb on the ceiling had been smashed.

He walked inside and saw that the toilet in the bathroom had also been smashed, and the showerhead had been ripped off.

Qin Xun hurriedly went to the computer desk to check his computer and found that it was completely undamaged, letting out a sigh of relief.

This computer was almost all his worldly possessions!

The perpetrator only smashed the house and didn't damage his belongings; it seemed they had a grudge with the landlord.

They had been very measured in their actions.

Qin Xun immediately called the landlord.

The landlord lived upstairs.

Three minutes later.

A middle-aged woman rushed over, charged into the room, took one look, and her expression immediately changed.

She sat on the floor, slapping the ground, and shouted with a crying voice.

"Which god-forsaken person smashed my house!"

"How am I supposed to live now?"

The landlady cried for a full five minutes before gradually calming down.

Qin Xun thought that women were such miraculous creatures, managing to cry so dramatically.

The landlady composed herself, stood up, and looked at Qin Xun.

"Young man, my house has been smashed, so you can't live here anymore. However, I will not be refunding your 1,600 yuan deposit."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xun raised his eyebrows and said loudly.

"What?"

"No refund on the deposit?"

He raised his fist.

"Have you ever seen a fist as big as a sandbag? Don't think that I won't hit a woman!"

Seeing Qin Xun's aggressive demeanor, the landlady was frightened, retreating all the way to the corner, shrinking inside, shivering, and waving her hands in a panic.

"I won't refund the deposit, but I can swap you to another one of my rooms!"

"That room is even better than this one, consider it compensation!"

"Don't be hasty!"

Qin Xun paused and thought about it.

He had earned 1 million for Oak Company, and they still hadn't mentioned anything about a bonus for him; he only had a few hundred yuan left on him.

Besides, it was so late now, and finding a house wasn't convenient.

Houses were also hard to find.

He looked at the landlady, smiled, lowered his fist, and scratched his head.

"Sister, you should have said so earlier!"

"Look, now you've made the atmosphere so awkward."

The landlady looked at Qin Xun, speechless.

I was just trying to make the act more realistic!

I almost got punched!

I don't know what that beautiful woman sees in you anyway?

Qin Xun was taken by the landlady to a residential complex not far from the urban village, Room 601, 6th Floor, Unit 6, Building 6.

He walked in and took a look; it was actually a two-bedroom apartment, about 80 or 90 square meters, and the renovation was decent.

It looked like it wouldn't be available for less than two thousand yuan.

He found it a bit strange.

"Sister, you're swapping this house for me?"

"It's shared housing."

The landlady said: "The other person went back to their hometown today, you'll be able to see them tomorrow."

Qin Xun: "Huh?"

The landlady explained: "I'll only charge you 800 a month."

She pointed to a room on the right and handed him two keys.

"That small room is yours."

Qin Xun held the keys in his hand, feeling a bit awkward, but he had no other choice.

"The person I'm sharing the place with, are they a man or a woman?"

But he saw the landlady run off in a flash.

Qin Xun watched her receding figure, then turned to look at the room across from his, frowning.

"Is it a man?"

"Is it a woman?"

He walked in, closed the door, glanced at the balcony, and found no laundry hanging there, finding no clues to judge the gender.

"Please, let it not be a woman!"

"Annoying…"

The next day.

Qin Xun arrived at the company right on time, as usual.

As soon as he sat down, Xia Ning leaned over and said to him.

"Today we have two main tasks. One is to write a proposal for the small singer to break out of her niche and discuss the cooperation details with that singer."

"The other is that there is a meeting in the morning."

Qin Xun turned his head to look at Xia Ning, feeling a bit helpless.

This girl's work attitude had been exaggeratedly good recently.

Wasn't there still thirty seconds until 9 o'clock?

She was already in such a rush to work?

He sighed, feeling a bit annoyed.

"A meeting? What kind of nonsense meeting is it this time?"

Xia Ning was stunned, feeling a bit helpless.

She took out her phone, opened WeChat, and clicked on the company group.

"Don't you check company messages?"

Qin Xun remained unfazed: "I muted them!"

Xia Ning: "..."

She pointed to the group announcement and read it out.

"Dear partners of Oak Company, tomorrow morning at 9:30, all staff will attend the Outstanding Employee Commendation Meeting. At that time, three pieces of good news will be announced."

"Please dress in standard attire and attend on time."

Qin Xun asked: "Outstanding employee? Who is it?"

Xia Ning: "..."

She didn't want to talk, but she had no choice.

"You!"

Qin Xun clasped his hands behind his head, leaned back in his chair, and crossed his legs.

"Then this is a good meeting."

Xia Ning: "..."

Qin Xun asked: "Who is presenting the award to me?"

Xia Ning replied matter-of-factly: "President Niu, of course!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xun thought of the little fatty who had been angered to death by him. His expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at Xia Ning.

"Where is your mask?"

"Quick, my flu is acting up again!"

Xia Ning: "..."
