Chapter 127 Pei Hening: "Are you afraid of me?"
White Claw walked outside for a while and then ran into the construction workers.
Pei Hening witnessed Bai Zhao talking to the construction worker for a short while, and then the worker followed him around like a fool.
She found the previous works of the "Happy Mimi Home" decorators on the forum and read their ratings. After understanding the style preferred by the residents of Donglan County, she quickly finalized three design plans and took out her phone to contact Pear Blossom King.
Normally, it takes a designer two to three days to produce a design drawing.
She can draw so quickly partly because of the advantages of her family background, and partly because she consciously absorbs various kinds of knowledge in her daily life.
Influenced by his elders, Pei Hening understood the importance of lifelong learning at an early age and is a staunch advocate of lifelong learning.
Her 96-year-old great-grandmother is a typical lifelong learner; at her advanced age, she is more adept at using a mobile phone than many people in their fifties or sixties.
These three plans are drawn very roughly, but they are sufficient.
Before long, the Pear Blossom Queen returned. Pei Hening noticed that another pear blossom kitten was following behind her, a real kitten—chubby and fluffy, wearing an exquisite collar around its neck.
Pei Hening's gaze fell on the new pear-shaped cat. Hmm, it looked somewhat familiar.
"Duoduo?"
The chubby little pear-shaped kitten paused slightly, looked up at her, froze for a moment, and then meowed at her.
King Pear Blossom stepped forward, blocking the chubby pear blossom kitten: "Its name isn't Duoduo, you've mistaken the cat for someone else."
Seeing the other person's guilty look, Pei Hening nodded silently: "I apologize for admitting my mistake."
Pei Hening handed the design she had drawn to King Pear Blossom: "Take a look and see if there's anything you don't like, and I'll revise it."
King Pear Blossom casually picked one out: "We can decorate like this."
Pei Hening checked the details with her again and made some adjustments.
During this time, the woman who rented the measuring tape returned it and then rented it out to someone else.
After the two of them finished talking, Pei Hening asked, "Can I stay here tonight?"
King Pear Blossom stared at her in shock: "You have nowhere to stay?"
"Does your company treat its employees that badly?"
The system hadn't arranged any accommodations for them, and Pei Hening nodded pitifully, "Um, can I stay at your place for the next few days while the renovations are being done?"
Before King Pear Blossom could speak, the pear-blossom cat that looked exactly like Duo Duo meowed twice more.
"Okay, make sure you lock your door tonight, and watch out for the rat man. I'm taking Duo... it's gone to find White Claw."
Pei Hening suppressed the corners of her mouth that were turning up, pretending not to have noticed the flaw, and sincerely thanked him: "King Pear Blossom, you are so kind. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be homeless on the streets."
King Pear Blossom left with the cat.
Pei Hening went out with a shopping list and bought the things she needed first.
As soon as she looked up, she noticed a man not far away who turned and ran away like a mouse seeing a cat the moment he saw her, acting suspiciously.
Pei Hening narrowed her eyes and shouted, "You've committed numerous evils!"
The man immediately stopped and turned around, a wry smile on his face: "Master."
Why are you running?
[He has committed many evil deeds] He felt uncomfortable all over just seeing her. Damn it, the ulcer on his mouth had only healed two days ago.
He gave an awkward smile and bowed obsequiously, "Master, I didn't recognize you just now."
Pei Hening looked him up and down: "Afraid of me?"
How can someone who has committed numerous evils not be afraid?
He had nightmares for several days after his failed robbery attempt resulted in him losing all his assets.
He dreamt that the violent woman's dagger missed its mark and pierced his neck.
"Master, that's not true, please don't misunderstand."
Pei Hening looked at him with a half-smile, and only when she saw cold sweat on his forehead did she slowly say, "Go and move my things."
[The wicked] breathed a sigh of relief. It's just moving things, right? That's what he does!
As long as you don't care about his life, that's fine!
[Having committed many evils] He followed Pei Hening honestly and went with her to look at the main and auxiliary materials for the renovation, as well as functional materials.
They went into a shop that specializes in selling home improvement materials.
The owner of this shop is a chubby orange tabby cat. He is wearing a loose vest, holding a catnip ball, and sitting in a rocking chair, rocking slowly and contentedly.
"Choose whatever you want, and then come back to pay."
The orange tabby cat stretched lazily and hugged the catnip ball even tighter.
Okay, that's really unique.
She led [the wicked] into the shop.
They looked at the tiles first. Pei Hening picked up a soft-light tile and frowned. Why did she feel that the texture of this soft-light tile was different from the one in her house?
"These are ordinary soft-polished bricks, which should not be expensive, but they are not very suitable for continuous flooring."
[Committed numerous evils] Actively explain.
Pei Hening put down the soft-light brick in her hand and looked him up and down.
This person seems to be somewhat useful.
She asked, "Did you used to work in the renovation industry?"
[Committed numerous evils]: "In my early years, my family was poor, so I dropped out of school early and went to the city with the villagers to build and renovate houses for them."
Pei Hening: "That's pretty impressive. They can build houses and also do interior decoration."
[Committed numerous evils] helplessly said: "If only they were that powerful. The boss I worked for back then took advantage of our poor family and lack of education, made us sign a bunch of messy agreements, and deducted our wages."
"My coworkers and I went to demand our unpaid wages, but before we even got a result, we were dragged onto the highway to survive."
[Having committed numerous evils] He glanced at Pei Hening's reaction as he spoke, and his words did indeed have a hint of playing the victim.
He wanted this strong woman in front of him to know that he was a truly pitiful person, and that she shouldn't use him as a guinea pig all the time.
He was telling me all of this based on his own experience. During his most desperate times, he couldn't even find five yuan in his pocket, and he couldn't even afford to eat a meal together.
He sneaked into someone else's neighborhood late at night to rummage through their trash cans, hoping to collect some mineral water bottles to sell, but the security guard mistook him for a thief and chased him away.
When he first entered the highway to survive, he thought he would honestly collect supplies and level up steadily.
But the players' repeated deaths gave him an indescribable sense of crisis.
He wasn't very educated, but he could do some math and understood that the boxes he opened every day were barely enough to keep him alive.
The easiest way to survive is to attack other players, steal their resources, and enrich yourself.
He only pulled off his second job before suffering an epic defeat, encountering this super-strong woman.
Pei Hening looked up and saw him lurking around, watching her furtively. She instantly laughed in exasperation: "You have time to play the victim with me? Hurry up and pick out which of these two types of floor tiles is better?"
[Commits numerous evils]:...The most ruthless woman's heart! With this kind of temperament, how could she not accomplish great things?
He honestly picked out a bunch of materials for her.
Pei Hening: "Okay, that should be enough."
[Having committed numerous evils] was still wondering to himself, does she have the money to buy so many materials?
I don't want to get kicked out by the orange cat owner; that would be really embarrassing.
Immediately afterwards, he watched as Pei Hening placed the pile of materials in front of the orange cat boss and began to speak her eloquent tongue.
"Don't worry, how could I possibly skip out on the bill?"
"The municipal government sent us here to renovate. Even if you can't find me, you can go to the municipal government and ask them to cover the expenses."
The orange cat shop owner hesitated, looking at the materials Pei Hening had picked out; these things weren't cheap...
"Do you know the Pear Blossom Queen? I'm her renovation worker. I'll keep track of the accounts first. If you can't find me, you can't find the Pear Blossom Queen, right?"
Despite her persistent persuasion, the orange cat owner finally agreed to let her buy on credit.
Seeing this, [the wicked] also quickly went up to negotiate with the orange cat owner, as he also wanted to get some decoration materials from there.
The stingy orange cat owner agreed to his request.
