At the sound of the word “respect”, Yue Tingfeng almost could not hold his laughter. Yan Qingsi’s assistant was… peculiar.
Yue Tinfeng played with the buttons on the mini fan. The wind would blow fast then slow; his hair flew then flopped. Ji Mianmian’s mood rose and fell along with the motion. Her heart felt like it was about to burst in her chest.
She suddenly thought that her goddess was amazing, being able to tame such a dangerous character.
Now… how could she conceal whatever that had happened on that day?
Ji Mianmian was well aware of her capabilities. She would not be able to simply steer away from the topic in front of sharp, cunning Boss Yue.
“Do you want end your internship earlier than the agreed date?” Yue Tingfeng said lightly. “Do you know that an official employee receives about 6000 a month? Asides from the monthly salary, however, the company also provides bonuses, business trip allowances, and covers expenses for phone bills and taxis. There’s an annual bonus at the end of every year too, and the company also gives red packets.”
Images of adorable red packets flashed before Ji Mianmian’s eyes. She wanted to leap and hug those adorable little packets.
Ji Mianmian nodded her head vigorously. “Yes, yes, yes.”
She never thought that the company benefits would be this lucrative. The big boss was someone who cared about the welfare and wellbeing of his workers. A great boss.
Click. Yue Tingfeng pressed the power button on the mini fan.
“Since you want it, why don’t you talk a bit more?”
Yue Tingfeng put the mini fan aside. He looked at Ji Mianmian with a kindly expression, as though he were saying ‘Don’t be scared. Just spill it out. Even if you say something wrong, I won’t blame you for anything.’
Ji Mianmian swallowed a lump of saliva. “B – boss, what should I talk about?”
Yue Tingfeng propped his elbows on the table, pinching his jaw between two fingers. “Talk about… what happened two nights ago.”
His voice was light, no tension woven in it, sounding so casual. However, Ji Mianmian wanted to scream for help at the look in his eyes.
Ji Mianmian did not dare to look into his eyes. She dipped her head and slowly retreated backward.
“Boss… It’s… nothing happened. Nothing happened at all,” Ji Mianmian said, voice small. “I… I’ve never seen Yan Qingsi doing anything inappropriate with other men. I’ve always been by her side, and I’ve never left her once… It’s true, it’s true!”
Ji Mianmian said “It’s true” twice to emphasize that everything she said was true.
She was not a fluent liar. By saying this, it simply made the guilt on her face and the lack of conviction in her tone more apparent.
“Then you don’t want to get the permanent role in company?” Yue Tingfeng asked.
Ji Mianmian lifted her head and looked at Yue Tingfeng helplessly. “I want… I want… but… nothing…” She wanted both bonus her goddess.
She could not break whatever promise she had made to her goddess. Otherwise how could she call herself a professional fan girl?
The goddess represented her life. If she betrayed her goddess, she might as well be betraying her entire sense of self. Money was the devil’s tool. She would not abandon her fan girl dignity for the sake of a devil’s tool.
‘No, I will follow my goddess into the darkness’, Ji Mianmian thought while being tempted by money. ‘I will follow her footsteps even if I die.’
Yue Tingfeng tapped his chin with his finger. “I take it that you’re not going to come around, and you don’t want to be promoted to a permanent employee. If it’s like this, then…”
Ji Mianmian almost dropped into a kowtow before Yue Tingfeng finished his sentence.
Even if she was not the brightest person on earth, she heard the meaning hidden behind those words, ‘Since you don’t intend on divulging anything, then you don’t want to work under the Yue Clan Financial group anymore. Get out.’
