Richard looked left and right, but didn't see Gwen coming out, so he asked, "Where is Gwen?" Isn't she home? ”

"Oh, Gwen." Jessica said, "I went to school, but I haven't come back yet." ”

Richard subconsciously glanced at the wall clock on the wall, the hour hand had just passed the four o'clock position. He remembered that Gwen's school was supposed to end at three o'clock, so he should have been home by this time, right?

As if to see through the doubts in his heart, Jessica immediately explained: "Oh, you haven't joined the school's percussion ensemble in the past few days, you know, a little extracurricular activity that enriches his spare time. So she'll come back a little bit later on all of this. But she's usually back around half-past four. ”

"Oh, that's right." Richard nodded in understanding.

This is also how it should be, after all, a child of Gwen's age should participate in more club activities or something. Being a superhero is tiring and dangerous, and there is no money to be made, if you delay your youth for this side job, it will be worth the loss......

...... Well, wait a minute, something is wrong.

Anyway, since it's only past four o'clock, what is Jessica doing when she doesn't go to work and stays at home?

Richard suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Jessica with a strange expression that seemed to be smiling instead of smiling, only to see that she was weak in her heart.

"I said Jessica," he said, smiling, "isn't the clock a little slower?" Why do I feel like I'm more than an hour away from the end of work? ”

Jessica chuckled inwardly.

Sure enough, it's a blessing, not a curse, it's a curse, and you can't avoid it. From the moment the boss entered the door, her heart was half cold, but she kept holding a hint of luck that the boss didn't realize this problem...... In the end, I didn't dodge.

She smiled awkwardly, "Ah, that'...... Maybe something is wrong, it's weird......"

"Oh, so why did you think something was wrong with the watch I just bought last month?" Richard still sneered.

“...... Boss, in fact, I was working overtime at home to catch up with the manuscript. ”

"Oh yes, how is the manuscript going?"

"Manuscript...... Still in the ideation stage......"

Idea? Hehe, why don't you say that the grass was eaten by cows?

Richard's smile quickly disappeared: "This month's bonus is gone. ”

Heh, dare to skip work while I'm not there?

I happened to be caught today, and who knows how many days you had been hanging out before?

Jessica: "......"

Boss, why don't we have a discussion...... I'm selling myself to you now to pay off my debts, right?

......

Gwen didn't get home until nearly five o'clock. When everyone arrived, Richard went into the kitchen and began to prepare dinner. He opened the door of the refrigerator to check what ingredients were there, only to find that there were only chicken breasts, chicken breasts, and chicken breasts in the refrigerator......

Richard looked confused: "Why are they all chicken breasts?" ”

Jessica was weak: "Boss, you don't know, our life has been too difficult since you left. We ate black pepper chicken breast for more than a week and we almost vomited......"

Gwen on the side pouted aggrievedly: "But...... But that's really all I'm going to do......"

You don't know how to cook, do you blame me?

That's all I'm going to do...... (Poor Baba. JPG）

As soon as Richard heard this, he roughly figured out how the two girls had spent the past week. Naturally, he cast a disdainful look at Jessica again......

He didn't say anything yet, Jessica just looked at him and quickly understood, pointed to himself and said, "I'm such a big person and I can't cook, is it a shame?" ”

Richard bowed slightly.

Well, the children can be taught, isn't this a quick learner?

That's the reason, you're such a big person, these days you still have to rely on a minor girl to solve the food problem, how can you still be qualified to pick fat and thin?

But seeing that there were no ingredients in the refrigerator, Richard couldn't conjure up dinner out of thin air, no matter how good he was. After all, his plug-in is Ultraman and not a blue fat man, otherwise he can directly take out a tablecloth or something from his pocket, and he can conjure up a table full of men with a brush on the floor.

He didn't want to go out to buy groceries or anything. So Richard waved his hand, let's go, let's go to the restaurant today!

Anyway, the boiled egg is generous, and he has made a lot of extra money this time, so it is better to invite a guest, and the right is the landlord to send benefits.

Richard took two guests, one large and one small, to a restaurant he was used to frequenting—a Chinese-owned restaurant, of course. Anyway, his two tenants didn't look familiar with this Chinese recipe, so he symbolically asked for their opinions, and then ordered according to his own wishes.

The food in this shop tastes quite good, and several people are indeed a little hungry, so they are all very happy.

Full of wine and food, Richard got up and went to the counter to pay. Because he was familiar with the restaurant proprietor, he took out the banknote and handed it to the boss and didn't leave immediately, but simply greeted him and started his home.

As a result, Jessica came out from behind: "Boss, I'll pay for it." ”

Jessica hasn't been doing her homework a lot lately. Through her special research, she found that her boss is not only Chinese, but also maintains a Chinese-biased style of living habits, including food. She heard that Chinese people have to be polite to each other after eating, but in fact, they are generally pretending, and after some scramble, the main owner will still pay.

That is to say, but the procedure that should be followed still has to be followed.

As a result, as soon as Richard heard this, he immediately drew back the tickets that had been handed to the proprietress and said with a smile: "Really? Okay, you come, you come......"

Jessica: "@#%! *￥%”

Uncle Li! Sure enough, what is said on the Internet is a lie!

What about competing with each other? What about your fine Chinese traditions?

God TM banknotes are stuffed into people's hands and can still be snatched back, Jessica suddenly felt that the boss's discipline was simply shattered.

Richard smiled and looked at Jessica, who was frozen in place, and finally decided to be a good person and settle the account.

Oh, who doesn't know that your wallet is so shabby that you can't even open the pot, so you still learn from others to pay for it?

Okay, if you rob it, then I won't rob it......

Fortunately, in the end, Richard didn't embarrass her too much. After all, what is Jessica's financial status, he is the most proficient as the boss and landlord, if he really tricks her to pay the bill, the girl is afraid that she will not really have to redeem herself to pay off the debt......

Leaving the restaurant and walking down the street, Jessica still looked sullen, and Gwen looked for a topic to talk about for a while, but it didn't get better.

Don't ask, it's autistic to ask.

Sure enough, in this world, only poverty is the original sin, and everything declines without money......
