I have a meeting at the office and I can’t make it back. it could be ten o’clock until I come back. I’ll pay you double the salary for your inconvenience. Hope you can forgive me.]Double salary...Which means, 400 yuan an hour?Blake took in a deep breath as he thought, “Ma’am, don’t be polite. You don’t even have to come back tonight!”He obviously knew that it would not happen.Jane poked her head out of the kitchen, looked at Blake, and asked, “Are you eating the chicken or beef flavored? There’s only sandwiches in the fridge. That woman locked the door so we can’t order food delivery.”Blake looked at the frozen sandwiches in her hand and could not help but ask, “You’re eating that for dinner?”“Is there a problem?” asked Jane. She did not care at all.Of course there’s a problem!Blake sighed. He stood up from the sofa and walked towards t

It’s cheap and affordable!”Then...Blake decided at that.They went to a place called Shancheng Spicy Hotpot on the street in front of their school. Ava had a ponytail and sat across from Blake.

It was six o’clock at night when Blake went into the kitchen and put on an apron before he started to cook. This was part of their agreement. The chick also followed him into the kitchen and watched him as she was very interested.The kitchen was stock with fresh food that Mrs. Jennifer probably bought.There was tofu, pork tenderloin, and some fresh vegetables. Not only that, the almost used up salt and herbs were also replenished.It seemed that Mrs. Jennifer acquiesced him using her kitchen. After all, she did not want her daughter to eat junk food and takeout every day.But...Why doesn’t she hire a maid?It did not bother Blake. He was happy to eat dinner at his customer’s house because he did not have to spend money. He asked if Jane could eat spicy food before he started to cook.Jane asked, “Have you been a tutor before?”Blake replied while pouring the oil into the pot, “This is my first time.”Jane’s eyes widened. She had not expected his answer and said, “Really? I think yo

It also mentioned that the student was from the University of Baymack.The article was basically roasting the University of Baymack.During the meeting, an old computer science professor adjusted his glasses, stood up, and said nonchalantly, “I’ve read those nine theses and t

He did not expect to be number one on trending.Although University of Baymack and the [Modern Communication and Geographic Information Technology] editorial department released a response indicating that the theses did not have any problems, the public was unconvinced due to the conflict of interest.University of Baymack had no other options. They even sent a lawyer’s letter to Parker!In the lawyer’s letter, University of Baymack righteously conveyed that the theses had no problems at all.

2014, City of BaymackThe blazing hot sun in June was heating up the ground as if it were trying to evaporate every last bit of water from the asphalt roads.Blake Watson listened to the sound of cars honking and looked at the busy people rushing along the streets. He stood in front of the Com Business Hall as he stared straight at the roads. Although cooled air occasionally blew across his back, his thick costume prevented him from experiencing the luxury of air conditioning.Someone might ask, why was he here?Of course, it was for survival...Okay, let’s clarify.Telecom Business Hall partnered with Vivo phones to do a promotion over the summer holidays. Workers were paid 40 dollars an hour to stand outside the door in a puppet costume. The pay was almost double the pay of him handing out flyers and not to mention, he did not have to suffer from people rolling their eyes at him. Additionally, because the temperature outside was over 30 degrees, he would receive a 10 dollar per hour
