Chapter 2: Going to the Door to Ask for Money

Soon, peace returned to the jungle.While Lu Feng was sitting cross-legged to recover his strength, the news of his heroic rescue also spread."Here comes the latest news. The two trapped children have been rescued. It wasn't the firefighters who saved them as they hadn't arrived at the scene yet. It was a masked person who used..."The radio host was completely stunned at this point. She could hardly believe that the script in her hand was true.Lightness skill?!!It was actually said that someone had used the lightness skill to save the children? And it was a masked person. How could that be possible???But in order to keep her job, she still broadcast this piece of news. Anyway, if anything went wrong, it wouldn't be her responsibility but that of the copy editor."The masked person used the legendary lightness skill to walk on the water surface and rescued the two trapped children. Currently, the physical condition of the two children is good. They were just a bit frightened. The identity of the masked rescuer is still unknown..."The drivers who were listening to the traffic information subconsciously thought that the host had made a mistake when they heard this news.What?!Lightness skill???Wasn't this a joke? How could the lightness skill, which violated the laws of physics, possibly exist!This thing had long been proven to be impossible. How could there still be people who believed in such a thing now? Was this host stupid?When they switched the channel to other radio stations, they were shocked to find that all of them were talking about this matter, and the statements were consistent.The one who saved the children was a mysterious person who used the lightness skill!How could this be?They suddenly felt that the world had changed and become completely unfamiliar.Two hours later, Lu Feng stood up refreshed. He seemed to feel that the inner qi in his body had increased a lot and become even more refined.It seemed that good deeds really were rewarded!Lu Feng raised his eyebrows and smiled as he walked out of the jungle. The feeling of saving people was really great!However, when he thought about the danger just now, cold sweat couldn't help but break out on his back. If his inner qi had been a little less just now, he might have fallen into the turbulent river. At that time, not only would he not be able to save the children, but he would have died first.He should be more careful when doing such things in the future!Lu Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead. After making sure that there was no one around, he immediately leaped towards the place where he lived.When he got back to his rented house, Lu Feng lay on the bed and stopped thinking about the rescue in the afternoon. Instead, he began to think about how to get the money that belonged to him back tomorrow.Just thinking about being deceived like a fool made Lu Feng angry.He had worked as an intern in a medical clinic for three months. It was originally agreed that he would be paid for his internship period as soon as the three-month probation period ended. However, he didn't receive a single penny! It was just because he took a one-day leave in the last week of the three months, and that was all!The owner of the clinic said that he didn't come to work without reason, so he was fired and wasn't given a single penny.He clearly remembered that he had written a leave application that day and had asked for leave from the attending doctor. But when he asked the attending doctor again, the other party actually denied it!He immediately understood at that time that they had ganged up to deceive him. They had been deceiving him from the very beginning, making him work for three months for nothing, and he had even done the heaviest work!But because the temporary contract stated that if he didn't come to work without reason, the medical clinic had the right to deal with it as it saw fit, and he had no evidence to prove that he had asked for leave. He couldn't even sue them.However, he didn't give up because he couldn't afford to. Without this salary, he wouldn't be able to pay the rent for the next quarter tomorrow. So he had to get the salary tomorrow!Today had been the fifth time he had gone to ask for his salary, but the owner of the clinic wasn't there, and the others couldn't give him the money. Fortunately, he had gone to the Weihe Bridge to relax, otherwise he wouldn't have saved those two poor children.Anyway, he must get the money tomorrow!Lu Feng said to himself, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes!He casually picked up a book about acupuncture and began to read it.At first, he studied the acupoints for the purpose of practicing martial arts. Later, when he had nothing to do, he started to study acupuncture. Now he could be said to have achieved some success in it.Although he didn't know how good his acupuncture skills were, he thought that he was no worse than the attending doctor, Doctor Xu, in the medical clinic.Soon, Lu Feng was completely immersed in the book about acupuncture. He still didn't know that the outside world was in an uproar because of his rescue in the afternoon.If it hadn't been for nearly a thousand people on both sides of the Weihe River who had witnessed Lu Feng's rescue in the afternoon and everyone's description of the process was the same, no one who saw the news would have believed that this piece of news was true.Saving people with the lightness skill? You must be joking!Although there was no video, the consistent statements of nearly a thousand people made this matter even more mysterious.On the one hand, there was their inherent physical worldview, and on the other hand, so many people had witnessed this scene. Everyone started to feel confused.Which one was true?

Could it be that there really was a lightness skill in this world?

The TV station interviewed a physics professor about this matter. The professor directly said that this matter was simply impossible and then used the analysis of buoyancy, air density, and human density to prove that there couldn't be a lightness skill in this world!

Whether there was a lightness skill in this world or not immediately sparked a big social discussion. All kinds of theories and speculations were put forward, but no one could convince those with different opinions.

Those who believed this matter were more concerned about another question: Who exactly was that masked person?

But after asking all the witnesses, even the two rescued children didn't know who that person was. He was completely a mysterious figure.

Since there was no way to prove anything, this matter gradually faded away amidst the intense discussions, and those who believed in the existence of the lightness skill were still searching for something.

The intense discussions outside had nothing to do with Lu Feng. He was already deeply immersed in his own world of acupuncture and couldn't extricate himself.

By 11 p.m., Lu Feng's head wasswell from reading. His mind was filled with all kinds of medical cases. He simply fell asleep on the bed without even having dinner.

At 8 a.m. the next day, Lu Feng locked the door of his room, went downstairs, and walked towards the medical clinic.

Walking on the shabby streets of the community, Lu Feng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Although this place was shabby, it was still a place to live, which was better than having nothing. If he couldn't get the 5,000 yuan salary that belonged to him today and couldn't pay the rent for the next quarter, he would be homeless tonight. The landlady would definitely not allow him to stay here for one more night.

He had great martial arts skills but no place to use them!

Using violence to counter violence was illegal, but hitting someone on the head from behind was an option...

At this thought, a sinister smile involuntarily appeared on Lu Feng's lips.

"Xiaofeng, going to ask for your salary again? Don't say I didn't remind you. Today is the day to pay the rent for the next quarter. Don't forget what's written in our rent contract. Don't blame me for being heartless then."

At this moment, a middle-aged woman with an expression as if someone owed her a million yuan walked out of a relatively luxurious house. It was obvious at a glance that she wasn't a kind person, and she was also a woman in menopause.

At this time, she was looking at Lu Feng with disdain in her eyes, as if she was very reluctant to talk to Lu Feng.

"Don't worry. I will definitely get the money. Our contract still has three months to expire. I will check out when it expires. You can rest assured!"

Lu Feng sneered as he looked at the landlady in front of him. He knew that ever since the first month he had moved in, this landlady had been trying every means to drive him away. The rent of other houses had all increased, but his hadn't because he had the contract in hand, and the other party didn't dare to do anything.

However, his current plight had given the landlady hope. The rent contract clearly stated that if the rent wasn't paid, the landlord could immediately take back the house.

So if he couldn't get the money today, he would be kicked out immediately.

"I think you'd better not go and ask for it. That guy won't give it to you. He has deceived so many people. It's useless for you to go. It's already the sixth day. You should give up, right? Young people should face the facts. Hurry up and vacate my house today. Maybe you can still find a good place to live. Don't you think so?"

The landlady seemed to be giving sincere advice, but in fact, she was implying that Lu Feng should leave immediately.

"I think this place is quite nice. With such a caring landlady, how could I be willing to leave? I'll still stay here. I will definitely pay the rent on time today, so as not to let down your concern for me."

With that, Lu Feng turned around and left. He really didn't want to look at the landlady for another second. She was disgusting to look at.

Pay the rent on time?

You must be dreaming!

The landlady sneered at Lu Feng's back and then walked away quickly. She was sure that Lu Feng couldn't get the money. Once Lu Feng left today, the house couldn't be left empty. She had to find a new tenant quickly. It would be best if someone could move in tonight, so she could get one more day's rent!

After turning a street corner, Lu Feng arrived in front of the medical clinic. The medical clinic wasn't very big. There was only one attending doctor, but there were a lot of patients coming and going, and it was quite profitable.

Just as Lu Feng was about to go in, he saw the owner of the clinic come out, holding a recruitment notice in his hand.

"Recruiting medical staff. Both men and women are welcome. The monthly salary is 2,000 yuan, and there will be a year-end bonus. Those with work experience will be given priority."

When Lu Feng saw this recruitment notice, a burst of anger welled up in his heart. He had been deceived here by this very recruitment notice.

What year-end bonus? He had never seen it at all! And the monthly salary of 2,000 yuan was often deducted for various reasons. He should have had 6,000 yuan for three months, but after calculation, there was only 5,000 yuan left!

The most important thing was that when the three-month probation period ended, he wasn't given any money at all!

A profiteer! He even claimed to have the benevolence of a doctor. He was really embarrassing to doctors!

Lu Feng suppressed the anger in his heart and despised the owner of the clinic severely in his heart. Then he quickened his pace and walked up.

The owner of the clinic also saw Lu Feng, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes. This kid had been blocking his door for five consecutive days, and he had been avoiding him for five days. He had originally planned to go out and hide today, but unexpectedly, he had run into this kid. What bad luck!

However, this kid was the most diligent worker he had ever seen. He hadn't made a single mistake in three months. If he hadn't taken a one-day leave, it would have been really difficult for him to drive him away! He even felt a bit reluctant to let Lu Feng go when he thought about it.
