"Arrange work?"
Wu Tian was slightly taken aback and asked, "What kind of work do you want to arrange for me?"
Luoxi thought Wu Tian was being sensible and said with a smile, "As I said, I think being a village doctor really lacks class."
"What's the point of a good medical student associating with a bunch of farmers?"
"How about this, I've been looking for a private doctor recently. Why don't you come with me? I'll give you fifty thousand yuan a month."
Although the conditions Luoxi offered were very good, Wu Tian was not a fool. He knew that Luoxi was clearly toying with him.
Shen Lingjiao also understood Luoxi's intention.
She said sarcastically from the side, "Oh my, the gap between people is truly vast."
"Some people, despite being nothing, always want to compete.
"While others, not only don't hold grudges, but repay kindness with resentment, tsk tsk..."
Seeing the two of them acting in unison, Wu Tian said calmly, "Thank you for your kind offer, but I will not be your private doctor."
"Because with your body like this, if it continues, even an immortal won't be able to cure you."
"What did you say?" Luoxi became angry again.
He said, "I'm kindly offering you a job, and you're cursing me?"
Wu Tian replied, "Cursing you? With your current body, do you still need me to curse you?"
"Haven't you noticed that you've been experiencing back pain, night sweats, and insomnia recently?"
Luoxi was stunned because the symptoms Wu Tian described perfectly matched his situation.
He frowned and said, "So what? I'm just tired from work."
Wu Tian couldn't help but laugh, "Hard work? I think you're too hardworking in bed."
"I advise you not to continue indulging in excess and to take it easy, otherwise, you know..."
Hearing Wu Tian's words, Luoxi's expression changed.
In fact, although he liked Shen Lingjiao, he was by no means reserved when it came to such matters.
He often invited several women to his home and would indulge for days.
Now, Wu Tian's words made him feel a bit flustered.
However, he would never admit it.
He feigned anger and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I am pure and a true man. How dare you slander me!"
Just then, a playful voice came from the front.
Six or seven thugs, with their hands in their pockets, ambled over to the dining table.
"Yo, having a family reunion here?"
The speaker was likely the leader of the thugs.
His face was covered in a greasy smile that made people uncomfortable.
Shen Guofu stood up and cautiously asked, "Who are you people?"
The thug leader chuckled and said, "My buddies and I are hungry, and we saw you having a gathering, so we thought we'd join you."
His lecherous gaze fell on Shen Lingjiao.
"Beautiful lady, do I have this honor?"
Although Shen Lingjiao was usually spoiled, she was actually quite timid.
The thug leader's gaze made her very scared, and she couldn't help but shrink back.
Shen Guofu said loudly, "You'd better leave here quickly! Otherwise, I'll call the police!"
Those thugs were shameless fellows and were not afraid of Shen Guofu's words at all.
The thug leader pouted and said, "It seems you don't welcome us."
"Alright, in that case, we won't come."
"You call that beautiful lady over here to have a good meal with us."
In fact, this was the thug leader's true intention. What was so delicious about a barbecue? He had seen how beautiful Shen Lingjiao was from afar, which was why he specifically brought his men over.
Seeing that these people had designs on Shen Lingjiao, Shen Guofu, as her father, was filled with rage.
He pointed at the thugs and roared, "You scoundrels! Get out of here now!"
"Otherwise, I will never forgive you!"
The thug leader raised his eyebrows and said, "Old man, who are you calling a scoundrel?"
"I came here to talk to you politely today, and you're being so uncooperative. Do you think I'm giving you too much face?"
"I'm not a patient person either. You're not being sensible, are you? Fine!"
With that, the thug leader signaled to the thugs behind him.
Those thugs, like hungry wolves, slowly approached Shen Lingjiao.
Shen Lingjiao was terrified. Her exquisite face was filled with fear, and her graceful body trembled slightly.
The thug leader looked at Shen Lingjiao's fair, jade-like long legs and couldn't help but lick his lips.
"Beautiful lady, just come with me obediently."
"What's the point of eating here? Come with me, and I guarantee you'll eat comfortably."
Shen Lingjiao's face had lost all its color.
She instinctively tugged at Luoxi and said with a tremor, "Brother Luoxi, say something!"
But Luoxi, accustomed to a life of luxury, had never encountered such thugs before.
His lips trembled, and he dared not move.
At this moment, Wu Tian said calmly, "What's wrong? Didn't you just say you were a true man?"
"If that's the case, why are you silent now?"
Wu Tian's tone was laced with mockery, which made Luoxi's chest feel tight.
He didn't know where he found the courage, but he walked up to the thug leader.
He said with a flushed face, "Wait a moment, I have something to say."
The thug leader saw that Luoxi was dressed quite well and immediately took a dislike to him.
He said aggressively, "What is it? Do you have any objections?"
Seeing the thug leader's demeanor, Luoxi suddenly became timid and couldn't help but swallow.
He lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I have some influence in the county. Do you know Brother Niu? I'm good friends with him."
"Brother Niu?" the thug leader repeated.
"Yes, it's Brother Niu," Luoxi said. "We're all in this line of work, so give Brother Niu some face."
"Give Brother Niu some face?" the thug leader suddenly laughed.
Luoxi thought he had succeeded and a smile just began to form on his lips.
Unexpectedly, the thug leader slapped him directly across the face!
"What nonsense about Brother Niu? I've never even heard of him!"
Luoxi felt a buzzing in his ears and then fell to the ground.
He covered his cheek and said with a look of horror, "What, what are you doing!"
The thug leader spat at him and said, "Don't you have this 'Brother Niu'? Call that bull over to find me. I want to see how powerful he is!"
Brother Niu was a very influential figure in the county. Luoxi didn't actually know him, he had only met him twice.
He had thought that by invoking Brother Niu's name, he could intimidate these thugs.
But he never expected that these thugs wouldn't recognize Brother Niu at all. Wasn't that ridiculous!
He immediately stopped speaking.
At this moment, the thug leader said, "Speak up, why aren't you talking anymore?"
"I hate guys like you who pretend to be tough. You like to show off, right? Fine, I'll cripple you right now!"
