Chapter 1471 - 66: Securing Employment
At first, Lu Hong thought the other party was just a rich kid, and typical rich kids like playing games with innocent girls’ emotions, committing cruelty and then leaving unscathed, causing the other family to fall apart.
But ever since Luo Yanxue revealed his family background, Lu Hong immediately dispelled this bad thought in his heart. Still, as they say, his status is too high, like the children of ancient noble lords showing favor to a common farm girl. Even if it’s just playing around, the farm family would still have climbed up the social ladder.
Lu Hong doesn’t want to climb up the social ladder; he just wants to spend the rest of his life quietly with his sister.
So he opened his mouth and said, "I understand everything Young Master Luo has said, but how can one not repay favors? Give me some time, and I will return this residence to Young Master Luo. If Young Master Luo ever needs help in the future, I, Lu Hong, will definitely do my best to assist."
Upon hearing Lu Hong’s reply, Luo Yanxue shook his head slightly and said, "This house was indeed bought by Lu Lingyue with money, and the price was also signed in black and white with a contract. Essentially, it doesn’t count as my gift, so you don’t need to move out from here. As for repayment, I’ve noted it down; if there’s anything I need help with in the future, I’ll come to you."
The other party agreed on one thing and refused on another, which made Lu Hong unable to say anything else for a moment, so he nodded in agreement.
Then, Luo Yanxue took the initiative to ask, "Brother Lu, you’ve just recovered, have you considered anything regarding work?"
This matter had indeed been on Lu Hong’s mind for quite a while, so he nodded and said, "I still prefer to re-enter the Sky Game and use the game to earn a living."
In response, Luo Yanxue shook his head and said, "This is not a long-term solution. Although you can indeed make money in the game, Brother Lu, you’re a game expert, but it’s still not very stable. Six months ago, Sky Game introduced new regulations that deleted deceased characters directly, with all items dropping 50% to the killer and the remaining 50% permanently deleted. Nowadays, Sky Game’s money-making risk is much higher than before, and any carelessness may cause your main account, which you spent endless energy building, to be directly canceled, failing at the final hurdle."
Hearing what Luo Yanxue said, Lu Hong frowned because he hadn’t been online much in the hospital, so this was the first time he heard this news.
But it’s true, as Luo Yanxue said, since characters have increased single-life death constraints, it’s indeed not suitable for the previous way of making money in the game.
However, since Luo Yanxue has mentioned it, he probably already has arrangements for him. Lu Hong originally didn’t want to accept this favor, but his sister has already accepted so many favors, accepting one more wouldn’t hurt, especially since he doesn’t have many ways to make a living. Previously, he relied on the game to earn a living cost, but it was tight, and at the end of the year, after expenses, hardly any money was saved.
This kind of life definitely can’t give his sister a better future.
So, Lu Hong pondered for a moment and said, "Does Young Master Luo have any good suggestions?"
After hearing that Lu Hong accepted his favor, Luo Yanxue showed a gentle smile: "You can call me Yanxue; I’m a classmate of Lu Ling Yue, and you’re her brother, so there’s an order of seniority. I have some ideas; recently, a cousin created a company and is recruiting talented individuals. You might want to try it."
"This..." Lu Hong was embarrassed, feeling a bit apologetic: "Yanxue, you may not know, I hardly went to school from a young age, knowing a few words is already quite good, where do I know anything about company management or these things, regarding technology, I’m even less proficient."
Seeing Lu Hong’s awkward expression, Luo Yanxue spoke again: "Brother Lu, your concern is unnecessary. My brother’s company, to be precise, is a game company. The work is not in reality but within Sky Game. Sky Game has now become a global communication platform, a replica of the previously proposed Metaverse concept. It’s no longer just about leveling up and fighting monsters for a single gaming experience. More players choose to create their second world within the game. The company my cousin founded is a gaming internal company, taking on some commissions and tasks from game characters, and the accounts used are provided by the company. Of course, you can also use your account. You’ve won the world championship in Sky Game before; you can definitely shine again in the game without having to painstakingly earn money and take risks. It fits Brother Lu’s expertise very well. How about it? Would Brother Lu like to know more about this type of work?
Listening to Luo Yanxue’s description, Lu Hong’s eyes gradually lightened up; indeed, it seemed more suitable than personally making money in the game, mainly because it’s stable.
Lu Hong quickly nodded and said: "This is suitable, very suitable for me."
In response to this, Luo Yanxue agreed with a satisfied smile and said, "Suitable is good."
Speaking, he took a piece of Lu Ling Yue’s draft paper and a pen from the tea table, left a phone number on it, and thoughtfully wrote down the other person’s name.
Then handed it over to Lu Hong: "This is my cousin’s phone number; when you’ve decided, just call him."
After saying this, Luo Yanxue stood up: "It’s getting late; I have something else to do. Since Lu Ling Yue won’t be back soon, I’ll leave first. Brother Lu, take care at home, rest and think about work when you’re well, no rush."
Seeing the other party preparing to leave, Lu Hong hurriedly stood up to see him off: "Yanxue, you’re too kind. When Ling Yue has time, come to my house for a meal, Ling Yue’s cooking is really good."
Luo Yanxue nodded: "Certainly, certainly."
Watching the other party leave, Lu Hong carefully closed the door and took a deep breath.
Now, after meeting with Luo Yanxue, he felt a deep sense of fear towards Luo Yanxue.
The other side was really terrifying.
While having an incredibly intimidating background, he’s still humble and reasonable towards ordinary people and can focus so closely on details. This person is indeed unusual. If not a great virtue, he must be of great evil.
Instinctively, Lu Hong didn’t want too much interaction with people like this; he’s just an ordinary working-class individual. Being with someone like this means climbing up the high branches toward wealth, or falling into the abyss, smashed to pieces.
Thinking of this, Lu Hong couldn’t help but bow his head and looked at the phone number he was holding.
Should he call this number?
The job needs to be addressed for him to give his sister a beautiful future.
Time goes by quickly, and Lu Ling Yue finishes tutoring. She hurriedly buys a lot of groceries and rushes back home.
"Brother!"
As soon as she entered, Lu Ling Yue shouted loudly.
"Hey!" Awakened from a nap, Lu Hong quickly responded.
Putting down her stuff, Lu Ling Yue came to Lu Hong’s door, opened it, and smiled seeing a sleepy-eyed Lu Hong: "How is it? This bed is more comfortable than the hospital’s, isn’t it?"
Lu Hong nodded: "Indeed, the hospital bed isn’t as soft and comfy as this one."
"Then rest a bit more, I’ll make some dishes for you, and we’ll have dinner later." Lu Ling Yue smiled and turned into the kitchen, busying herself with cooking.
In less than forty minutes, a table of exquisite dishes was served.
Lu Hong sat down, tasted a few bites, and praised her repeatedly.
Lu Ling Yue was also very happy.
Halfway through the meal, Lu Hong suddenly said: "Luo Yanxue came to the house this afternoon; he seems to have something to ask you."
Hearing Lu Hong’s words, Lu Ling Yue was startled, then nervously asked, "Brother, you didn’t give him a hard time, right?"
In response, Lu Hong said with some dissatisfaction, "No way, sis, what are you saying? He helped us a lot; how could I treat him poorly? Gratitude is not enough!"
Upon hearing Lu Hong’s answer, Lu Ling Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing his sister’s changing expression, Lu Hong’s face became a bit serious as he said: "Sis, you aren’t feeling anything for him, are you?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ling Yue’s face instantly reddened like a monkey.
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Don’t say that again!"
Hearing his sister’s angry retort, Lu Hong sighed inwardly. Now, he’s not worried that Young Master Luo harbors any thoughts towards his sister but concerned that his sister might have developed feelings she shouldn’t have for Young Master Luo.
