184 Appear
Simon nodded. He thought that the price was about the same as the one he had asked before, so he didn’t think too much about it. However, even if it was 20 Yuan per class, it was still very difficult for him. After all, his father’s daily salary was only 25 Yuan.
Simon thought for a few seconds and scratched his head in embarrassment. He smiled and said, “Auntie, I’ll go with Leon next semester.”
As long as they could drag it out, Frank happily agreed, “I’ll also wait until next semester.”
Vivian could tell that Simon wasn’t the kind of person who liked to take advantage of others, but she had her own intentions when she suggested this. She wanted to help Leon find a capable assistant.
After the last parent-teacher meeting, she had first met his scumbag ex-husband, and then Reginald. The characters in the book had begun to appear one by one, and although she had made an agreement with Reginald, who knew if the male protagonist of the book would go back on his word? Especially when she thought of the consequences of going against Reginald for Leon and the two babies in her stomach, Vivian could not help but worry.
So, Vivian set her eyes on Simon and assigned two more bodyguards for Leon. One was to protect him, and the other was to help him build his own team. The friend accompanying him since he was young was the most difficult to come by.
According to the book, Reginald had been trained to be Bruno’s successor and had already formed his own team. He had even begun to take over the small company in his family’s business to practice.
Vivian had no choice but to start making arrangements for everything.
Vivian looked at Simon and said softly, “This 20 Yuan is the calculation method that I’ve hired for Leon. If you join us, I can save some money. You can just pay me 5 yuan.”
Leon didn’t know Vivian’s intention, but he could see her purpose. He stepped forward and put his arm around Simon’s shoulder. “There are some things that you should do quickly when you have the right opportunity. After all, some people won’t wait for you to learn how to do it before appearing in front of you. Besides, if you don’t come, the money my family needs to pay won’t be reduced at all. I’m just trying to help my mother save some money.”
Simon wasn’t a bookworm. Of course, he knew that Vivian and Leon were only saying this out of consideration for his self-esteem. His heart was even more moved when he thought of what Leon was implying.
Simon thought he had to find some part-time jobs over the weekend to earn as much as he could so that he could pay for his tuition fees and not owe more favors.
“Didn’t we agree to work during the holiday for the final exams?” Leon continued. “Are you still worried that you can’t afford it?”
Simon thought about it and made up his mind. “Okay, Auntie, I’ll sign up too.”
Seeing that the two of them were in agreement, Frank suddenly felt lonelier when he thought of being alone at home at night. He didn’t care if he liked to exercise or not and quickly came forward. “I’ll sign up too!”
Vivian nodded in satisfaction and encouraged him, “Life is about exercise. Three young men, do your best!”
At this time, Fanny had put the things down and entered the kitchen. Vivian thought that during the half-month business trip, Leon hadn’t eaten the dishes she cooked, so she asked Fanny to be her assistant.
Leon hadn’t seen Vivian for half a month and couldn’t even be a meter away from her. He took out his game console and asked Frank to play with Simon, while he followed behind Vivian to pass her the seasoning.
After dinner, Simon and Frank went home, while Vivian and Leon sat on the sofa and chatted.
“Son, what do Simon’s parents do?” Vivian asked.
Leon recalled, “His father is mining coal in the mine, and his mother is at home taking care of Simon and Simon’s grandmother. She also takes on some odd jobs, such as cooking dinner or sewing clothes for other people.”
The salary of going into the mine was higher than that of an ordinary job, but it was a dangerous job. If he did this job for a long time, he might be buried in it one day.
Vivian had a new idea when she heard about cooking dinner. She asked, “Is his mother’s cooking good?”
Vivian leaned back on the sofa, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she stroked her chin with her hand.
Children from poor families took care of themselves early. Although their family was not poor, they had their own concerns about the danger of being captured by Bruno. Vivian spoke her mind directly so that Leon could be more vigilant.
