"Is your mom not nearby again?" Xiao Mei asked helplessly in a low voice.
"Don't mind her. I'll come find you once I'm done. Work can always be found again, so don't worry," A Bao comforted her with his usual tenderness.
After hanging up, Xiao Mei stared blankly at the work badge on her desk. She knew A Bao spoke lightly, but reality was far from simple. She didn't want to rely on others forever, especially under the cold gaze of A Bao's mother.
"I need to think about my next steps," Xiao Mei sighed, and suddenly a thought struck her—those Bitcoins she bought years ago seemed untouched. Although she had long forgotten where she stored the Private Key, if she could find it… this might just be her chance to turn things around.
"It's time to retrieve my Private Key!"
The day after Xiao Mei lost her job, the sun shone brightly, and pedestrians hurried along the street as if no one would notice her unemployment. She felt a bit guilty, like a thief who picked up money on the street but dared not spend it.
"I should find something to do," she thought quietly, not necessarily to land a new job immediately, but to temporarily forget the awkward identity of being "unemployed."
"Maybe I can even find that old Private Key!" she reassured herself. She opened her computer and began searching through the corners of her hard drive, feeling as if she had returned to her university days—those hopeful and passionate years when she met a mysterious "mentor" on a programming forum who told her that Bitcoin was the trend of the future.
"Oh, how naive I was back then!" Xiao Mei sighed while rummaging through files on her hard drive; after all, she hadn't taken those virtual currencies seriously at the time.
After searching for a while, she still couldn't find any trace of the Private Key. Xiao Mei felt a bit disheartened but quickly reminded herself that she had something important to do—meet A Bao.
A Bao was waiting for her in an elegant café, his smile as bright as ever. "Hey there, sweetheart!"
Xiao Mei walked over and sat down, but inside she felt a bit uneasy. Although A Bao always appeared relaxed, she couldn't shake off her anxiety. She wondered if someone like her, now unemployed, truly deserved someone like A Bao.
"What are your plans for today?" A Bao asked, looking up.
"I'm planning to look for a job," Xiao Mei replied without much hesitation.
A Bao shook his head with a smile. "Oh, come on, don't rush into it. I'll take care of you!"
Xiao Mei shot him a glare. "Here we go again! I can't just rely on you forever, can I?"
As soon as she said that, A Bao's expression changed slightly. He seemed to hesitate for a moment before letting out a sigh. "Actually... there's something I've never told you."
Xiao Mei paused, curious. "What is it?"
A Bao looked up at the ceiling, took a deep breath as if he was making a significant decision, and then slowly spoke. "The truth is... I'm a rich second generation."
Xiao Mei's eyes widened in surprise, and it took her a few seconds to process his words. "What did you say? You're a rich second generation?"
"Yeah..." A Bao scratched his head awkwardly. "I didn't want to mention it because I was afraid you'd think my family is too wealthy and have some ideas about me."
Xiao Mei felt a bit flustered. She had always thought A Bao was just an ordinary worker like herself; who would have guessed he was actually hiding his wealth? And he was worried she might have some "ideas"?
"Don't worry, I don't have any special thoughts," Xiao Mei said, trying to sound calm and keep her tone light.
