Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Stealing the Invitation Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Stealing the Invitation Shi Youjin was instantly elated, “Really? Xiaoyi, you agree to let me be a security guard at Jungle?”
“Yeah, starting today, you’re on duty. I hope you take your work seriously, cut the nonsense, and don’t make me lose all face in the company.”
“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t blabber, I’ll work hard.”
Ye Chuyi took him out and handed him over to the head of the security department.
She watched as the manager took Shi Youjin away and disappeared down the corridor’s end, then, with a cold face, returned to her own office, “Su Shan, activate all the hidden surveillance cameras in the company building and report Shi Youjin’s movements to me every day.”
“Also, tell the head of the security department that aside from the monitoring room, Shi Youjin should be allowed to go wherever he wants; there’s no need to stop him.”
The assistant immediately responded, “Yes, boss!”
“I’m curious to see what he’s up to, so desperate to get into Jungle, insisting on living or dying for it.”
Better to play along with his wishes than try to stop a thief every single day; it’s the way to find out his real intentions.
Three days later.
Shi Youjin was caught red-handed with the stolen goods.
Afterwards, he was brought before Ye Chuyi.
Ye Chuyi, holding the stolen item he took, couldn’t help but sneer at herself, “So, you were so desperate to become a security guard at Jungle not to look out for me, but to steal invitations for Wen Nianyou?”
“No, Xiaoyi, you’ve got it all wrong!”
“What has she given you? Why are you, like Lin Yueqin, so willing to risk your life for her?”
“She didn’t give me anything!”
Shi Youjin, with his head bowed and a guilt-ridden face, said, “It was your mom who asked me to steal it, nothing to do with Wen Nianyou. I wanted your mom to reconsider remarriage, but she wouldn’t agree, she said if I could get some invitations, she might consider getting back together.”
“Xiaoyi, I was trying to create a complete family for you, that’s why I went to talk to your mom about remarriage. How could I possibly be working for Wen Nianyou? I’m not even close to her. Your mom has grown attached to her, lost her rationality.”
“I don’t have any affection for her and certainly wouldn’t take any benefits. I’m not like your mom, I’m sober and rational. You’re my daughter; for you, I’m willing to do anything.”
Ye Chuyi’s tone became even more sarcastic, “First, you publicly stopped our president’s car and spread rumors about my improper relations with him; then, you sneaked into the president’s office and stole the invitations locked in his drawer. Now you’re telling me you did it all for me?”
“Xiaoyi, I really did it for you! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have sought remarriage with your mom. She even sold my house; I’m very disappointed in her.”
Ye Chuyi didn’t believe a word, she reined in all her emotions and spoke indifferently, “You, as a security guard, abused your position and broke into the president’s office to steal. I can’t cover for you; don’t come back again.”
“Xiaoyi, it’s not that big of a deal, right? There were plenty of invitations in the president’s drawer; what’s wrong with me taking a couple?”
“Shi Youjin!”
Ye Chuyi raised her voice, “I’ve already lost enough face because of you, isn’t that enough for you? Are you looking to see me live a couple of peaceful days, or do you want to see me get fired too for satisfying yourself?”
“No, no, don’t get angry, I’ll leave, isn’t that enough?”
“Get out!”
“Then give me those two invitations; I’ll give them to your mom, and then we can get remarried.”
Ye Chuyi felt a chill from head to toe. Shi Youjin was still fixated on the invitations, utterly disregarding her feelings and the consequences she would have to bear.
If she really was just a low-level employee at Jungle, by now, she would have lost her job because of him.
“I can’t give you the invitations. If you keep this up, I’ll sever ties and call the police. Just out of jail and already stealing, how many years do you think you’ll get this time?”
Shi Youjin’s face turned ugly, “If you’re not giving them, fine, why threaten me? I did all this for you, I’m leaving now, you don’t need to chase me out! You think I really want to be here? I came to look out for you; you’re truly ungrateful!”
With that, he flung his hand and stormed off in a huff.
Once he was out of the Jungle Pharmaceutical building, he pulled two invitations from his pocket.
