The giant of light in the marvel world

Richard looked around and saw Gwen not coming out, so he asked: "Where is Gwen? Is she not at home?"

"Oh, Gwen," Jessica said, "I went to school and I'm not back yet."

Richard subconsciously glanced at the clock on the wall. The hour hand had just passed the four o'clock position. He remembered that Gwen's school should have ended at three o'clock. She should have been home by now, right?

Seeming to see through his doubts, Jessica immediately explained: "Oh, during the few days you were away, Gwen joined the school's percussion band, you know, some extracurricular activities to enrich her spare time. So she will come back for a little bit. It’ll have to be later. But she’ll usually be back around four-thirty.”

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

This is also appropriate. After all, children of Gwen's age should participate in more club activities. Being a superhero is tiring, dangerous and not profitable. If you waste your youth for this side job, it will be more than worth the gain.

Well, wait a minute, something's wrong.

By the way, since it's only after four o'clock, what is Jessica doing at home instead of going to work?

Richard suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Jessica with a strange expression that was half a smile but not a smile, which only made her feel guilty inside.

"I'm talking about Jessica," he said with a smile, "Is the clock at home a little slow? Why do I seem to feel that there is still more than an hour before get off work time?"

Jessica's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, it is a blessing, not a curse, but the curse cannot be avoided. She felt a chill in her heart from the moment the boss walked in. She just kept holding on to the luck that the boss was not aware of the problem. In the end, she did not escape it.

She smiled awkwardly: "Ah, maybe something is wrong, it's very strange."

"Oh, then you see why the watch I just bought last month has something wrong with it?" Richard still sneered.

"Boss, I'm actually working overtime at home to catch up on the manuscript."

"Oh, that's right. Can you show me how the manuscript is going?"

"The manuscript is still in the conception stage."

Concept? Haha, why didn’t you say that the grass was eaten by the cow?

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

Hehe, you dare to skip work while I'm not around?

I happened to catch you today. Who knew you had been having sex for a few days before?

Jessica: "."

Boss, how about we discuss it? Can I just sell myself to you now to pay off the debt?

Gwen didn't get home until nearly five o'clock. Everyone was here, and Richard walked into the kitchen and started preparing dinner. He opened the refrigerator door to check what ingredients were there, but found 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 something. Our life has been really difficult since you left. We ate black pepper chicken breast for more than a week and almost vomited."

Gwen on the side pursed her lips in embarrassment: "But...but I really can only do this."

Are you blaming me for not being able to cook?

What should I do if I can only do this (poor.JPG)

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

He didn't say anything yet, but Jessica just looked at him and understood quickly. She pointed at herself and said, "Isn't it embarrassing that I'm such a big man and can't cook?"

Richard nodded slightly.

Well, children can be taught, don’t they learn very quickly?

That's the truth in the first place. You are such a big man and you have to rely on an underage girl to solve your food problems these days. How can you be so picky?

But seeing that there were no ingredients in the refrigerator, no matter how awesome Richard was, he couldn't conjure up dinner out of thin air. After all, his plug-in is Ultraman and not Fatty Blue. Otherwise, he could just take out a tablecloth or something from his pocket and wipe the floor to create a table full of people.

After ordering this, he didn't want to go out to buy groceries or anything else. So Richard waved his hand and said, let’s go to a restaurant today!

Anyway, Lu Dan is generous and he made a lot of extra money during this trip, so why not treat him as a guest and treat it as a bonus from the landlord.

Richard took two tenants, one large and one small, to a restaurant he usually patronized - of course, it was also a Chinese-owned restaurant. Anyway, his two tenants didn't seem familiar with these Chinese-style recipes, so he symbolically asked for their opinions and then ordered the dishes according to his own wishes.

The food in this restaurant tastes quite good, and a few people were really hungry, so they all had a great time eating.

After having enough wine and food, Richard got up and went to the counter to pay the bill. Since he and the restaurant proprietress were already familiar neighbors, he took out the banknotes and handed them to the proprietor and did not leave immediately. Instead, he simply exchanged pleasantries and started the family routine.

As a result, Jessica appeared from behind: "Boss, I'll pay the bill."

Jessica has been doing a lot of homework lately. After special research, she found that her boss was not only Chinese, but also maintained a Chinese-leaning lifestyle including diet. She heard that Chinese people have to be polite to each other and fight to pay the bill after eating, but in fact, it is usually just a show, and after a fight, the real owner will still pay the bill.

Even if you say this, you still have to follow the procedures that need to be followed.

Unexpectedly, when Richard heard this, he immediately took back the tickets that had been handed to the landlady and said with a smile: "Really? That's good, you come and you come."

Jessica: "@#%!*￥%"

Uncle Li! Sure enough, everything said online is a lie!

Did you agree to compete with each other? Where are your fine Chinese traditions?

It's amazing how much money can be snatched back from someone else's hands. Jessica suddenly felt that the boss' integrity was shattered to pieces.

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

Hehe, who doesn’t know that your wallet is so shabby that you can’t even open the pot, so you’re the only one who still imitates others and grabs the bill?

Okay, if you rob it, I won’t rob it.

Fortunately, Richard didn't embarrass her too much in the end. After all, he, as the boss and landlord, knows best about Jessica's financial status. If he really cheats her into paying the bills again, then this girl may not really have to redeem herself and pay off the debt.

After leaving the restaurant and walking down the street, Jessica still looked gloomy. Gwen looked for a topic to enlighten her for a while, but nothing improved.

Don't ask, asking is autistic.

Sure enough, poverty is the only original sin in this world. Without money, everything goes bad.
