Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind-Chapter 125: Qiao Chuchu: Maybe I can plot against Xia Xuechun?
Everyone froze, and the farce finally came to a stop.
Wei Sheng Yu Can’s disdainful gaze swept across each of their faces. "And here you all are fighting over clothes. Is this the main focus now?"
Lin Qing couldn’t help but laugh, crossing her arms as she teased from the side. "Exactly. And you all keep swapping clothes around. Even if you don’t catch a cold, you’ll probably make each other sick. Who’s going to hand Qiao Chuchu some water when she needs it? Are you all going to stand in line for it?"
Lou Yue Jue thought for a moment and then smirked. "At that point, once sister gets a glass of water, someone will snatch it right out of her hands, and it’ll be cold by the time she gets it. She won’t even get her medicine."
He looked at his father, "We’re different though."
Lou Ting Si smiled slightly at his son, taking out a pair of hand warmers and handing them to Qiao Chuchu.
Qiao Chuchu took them in surprise. "Thank you."
Lou Ting Si smiled gently. "You’re welcome."
Lou Yue Jue raised his chin smugly. "My father and I were prepared."
Everyone: "..."
Qiao Chuchu: "..."
For some reason, she felt like her headache had gotten worse.
Her face turned as pale as a vegetable as she entered the banquet hall. "I’m going to drink some hot water. You all do as you please."
[Anything is fine, just don’t come after me. I want some peace and quiet.]
Wei Sheng Huai Ling watched Qiao Chuchu’s back, confused, and looked at Wei Sheng Lin. "Who’s this ‘peace and quiet’ person?"
Wei Sheng Lin: "It’s me."
Wei Sheng Huai Ling: "?"
Xia Xuechun stood in the corner, her gaze dull as she watched the back of their group.
Who even remembers that the man was there to harass her? Everything started because of her.
Yet it was Qiao Chuchu who sent that man away, and now she’s surrounded by people fawning over her.
Meanwhile, Xia Xuechun had no one to show her any care.
Qi Xiao Jia, who had just finished her work, hurriedly walked to Xia Xuechun’s side. Seeing that the employer was here, she didn’t dare shout loudly and quickly pulled Xia Xuechun to a secluded area. "Xuechun, are you alright? Did you get hurt?"
Xia Xuechun, still feeling down, couldn’t get the earlier scene out of her mind and answered with something unrelated. "Xiao Jia, I’ve been dreaming a lot recently. In my dreams, Qiao Chuchu dies, and all the people who loved her are loving me instead. The feeling is so real."
Qi Xiao Jia frowned. "Could it be that you’re just envious of her?"
"I don’t know." Xia Xuechun felt a heavy stone on her chest. "Every day when I wake up, it takes a while for me to accept reality because in the dream, I had everything, but in real life, I have nothing."
Qi Xiao Jia fell silent, looking at her as if she were a mentally unstable person. "Then we should probably stay away from Qiao Chuchu from now on. You’re starting to act a little strange."
Xia Xuechun looked at her confused. "Am I the one who’s abnormal?"
Qi Xiao Jia nodded seriously. "Yes. So from today, you and I should focus on finding jobs. It’s hard right now, but we’ll definitely find something."
Xia Xuechun bit her lip, still a little unconvinced. "But Qiao Chuchu can earn two hundred thousand a month. Are we just going to settle for an ordinary life?"
Qi Xiao Jia raised an eyebrow. "Why are you comparing yourself to Qiao Chuchu? Our fields aren’t the same."
Xia Xuechun argued, "But Qiao Chuchu bought her degree, so why should she be better than us? If I start drawing comics, I think I can do better than her!"
Qi Xiao Jia sighed. "I’ve always been a fan of Qiao Chuchu’s comics. I’ve followed every one of them. The art is exquisite, and the pacing is tight with no filler. She doesn’t delay updates either. Her comics exploded in popularity, and the TV adaptation was a hit. If you want to compete with her, at least practice for another year or two."
Xia Xuechun became more irritated. "Are you defending her?"
Qi Xiao Jia shrugged. "I’m just speaking the truth. She’s annoying, but her work ability is solid. We can’t compare to her."
"What can’t you compare to me?" Qiao Chuchu walked up behind them just as they spoke, raising an eyebrow with suspicion.
Qi Xiao Jia awkwardly looked at her. "Miss Qiao."
Qiao Chuchu was a bit surprised.
Was this person changing her face again?

Why is she calling her ‘Miss Qiao’ now?
She teased, "Oh, you’re being so polite today."
Qi Xiao Jia awkwardly scratched the back of her head. "I’ve learned my lesson, hehe."
She had caused Aunt Wang to lose her job, and now Aunt Wang kept causing trouble for her. With her parents needing medical fees, she no longer had the energy to fight with Qiao Chuchu.
Now, she only dared to gossip behind her back.
Qi Xiao Jia glanced at Xia Xuechun, worried she might cause trouble, and stood in front of her. "Is there anything you need, Miss Qiao? I’ll go get it for you."
"No need." Qiao Chuchu answered succinctly, "I wanted to introduce a job to you two."
Qi Xiao Jia was surprised. "A job?!"
Xia Xuechun was skeptical. "A job?"
Qiao Chuchu nodded.
After the acid attack incident, she felt that more hardships would come her way in the future.
Although she survived, it cost her a life. There was no telling when some strange pervert might attack her again.
So after careful consideration, the best way to protect herself was to recruit Xia Xuechun and make her one of her own.
Xia Xuechun was unemployed and had to hustle part-time jobs everywhere to support her family.
Of course, without this arrangement, Xia Xuechun wouldn’t have met Ji Yan Chuan and her brothers, so this role was completely logical.
But if she could keep Xia Xuechun in one place, she wouldn’t be able to trigger any more plots, and she could easily survive until the end.
Though she didn’t want to do this, it seemed to be the only way to avoid running all over for storylines.
After all, Xia Xuechun had a halo, and killing her wasn’t an option.
Qiao Chuchu said kindly to them, "I had someone look into your profiles. Honestly, among all the excellent job seekers, you two really lack highlights. So, I can guarantee the salary I’m offering is the highest you two can get in any company."
Since her family had many companies, she would always be able to find suitable positions for them, and she could also subsidize from her own finances. It would even be like life insurance. Once the endgame was over, she wouldn’t have to worry about them anymore.
Qi Xiao Jia looked clearly moved, fidgeting with her hands. "How much can you offer?"
Qiao Chuchu calmly replied, "The probation period is 80% of the full salary, that’s 40,000. After becoming permanent, it’s 50,000, plus a guaranteed year-end bonus of 500,000. We’ll sign a two-year contract. After two years, we’ll see how your performance is. If it’s good, you can stay. If not, you can leave. How does that sound?"
Qi Xiao Jia: "!!!!!!"
What?!
40,000 during probation?!
Her last job only gave her 10,000 when she was permanent!
She was so excited that she almost jumped up, looking at Xia Xuechun in delight. "This is amazing, Xuechun! This salary is higher than any company I’ve worked for!"
Isn’t this like a windfall from the sky?
Qi Xiao Jia quickly confirmed, "Can I have a lawyer check the contract?"
Qiao Chuchu nodded. "Of course, you can confirm the details with a lawyer before signing."
Qi Xiao Jia squealed, overjoyed. "That’s amazing, Xuechun, let’s sign up!"
But Xia Xuechun scoffed coldly. "Qiao Chuchu, you earn 200,000 a month, and now you’re offering us 50,000 a month? Are you treating us like beggars?"
Qi Xiao Jia: "?"
