Lu Li regretted it a little. She only had ten thousand yuan in her hand. If she paid the training fee, she would not have any money left. Even the rent would be a problem.

“I don’t want this job anymore.”

The middle-aged woman seemed to have expected this. After all, Lu Li was wearing jeans that had been washed until they were white. It was obvious that she had no money.

“You don’t want it? Sure, pay a hundred thousand yuan for the breach of contract.”

“A hundred thousand?!” Lu Li’s eyes widened. “Why?”

The middle-aged woman smiled and opened the contract in her hand. She flipped through a few pages and handed it to Lu Li. “Because you signed the contract in black and white. If you break the contract, you will compensate the company 100,000 yuan.”

Lu Li finally understood that she had been deceived. This company was simply a scam.

Seeing Lu Li’s disbelief, the middle-aged woman took the other contract smugly. “Go and pay the training fee. During the training period, you have to follow all the company’s arrangements. Otherwise, you’ll be dealt with according to the default.”

Only then did Lu Li look at the contract in her hand seriously.

It said, “During the training period, employees have to experience the live broadcast in depth to obtain relevant operating experience. The income will belong to the company.”

Wasn’t that a free streamer? Lu Li’s heart turned cold. I signed a slave contract. 

“Alright, go and pay.” The middle-aged woman had seen too many girls who had just graduated from university. She did not have any pity for Lu Li now. She directly carried Lu Li to pay the training fee.

When Lu Li walked out of the company, the employees only looked at her blankly and then buried themselves in their work.

Lu Li hated herself for not taking a good look at the contract. As she walked, her eyes were filled with tears.

She had never encountered such a situation in her life.

The people in the village were very kind. They did not scheme against each other and doted on her very much. When she arrived at school, the teachers and classmates took care of her.

She did not understand why these people sat in such a glamorous house and lived such a dignified life, but they had to rely on deception to earn money.

With only the last five yuan in her pocket, Lu Li limped along. She was so happy after receiving the resume that she came over without eating breakfast. Now, her stomach was rumbling with hunger.

After deducting the bus fare, the remaining five yuan was at most enough to buy two buns.

Lu Li limped onto the bus and bought two buns to bring home. However, just as she opened the door, a large amount of water dripped down from the ceiling like a water curtain hole.

There was a leak upstairs. She did not know how long it had been leaking, but the small house she had rented had already been flooded. The bedsheets, bedding, clothes, and shoes were all wet.

The computer not far away was also covered in water. Lu Li was in a hurry to look at the computer and her already lame leg accidentally tilted.

She fell into the dirty water.

Lu Li stood up from the water with red eyes. She missed her grandparents so much.

Looking at the mess around her, Lu Li could not help but cry. She sat on the wet blanket and cried for half an hour. Lu Li wiped her tears. She had to clean up the mess first.

She stood up and went upstairs to knock on the door of the tenant who had a water leak. A burly man walked out. “What?”

“Your house is leaking.” Lu Li’s eyes were red.

“I know. Am I not waiting for someone to fix it? Get lost.” The burly man closed the door and left Lu Li outside.

Lu Li took a deep breath. When she went downstairs and returned home, the two buns were already soaked in water.

There was nothing else to eat now, so Lu Li could only take the bun and wring out the water inside before walking to the corridor outside the door to eat.

Just as she was worrying about how to sleep at night, a call came in.

“Hello, this is Lu Li.” Although she was extremely disappointed, Lu Li still sounded happy when she picked up the phone.

Her grandfather had told her not to vent her negative emotions on others no matter what.

“I’m Xia Wanyuan. Send me an address. I have something to tell you.” Xia Wanyuan’s light voice came from the phone.
