Lin Fan completely disregarded Boss Zhu's arrogant expression, his face still carrying a slight smile.
"What explanation do you want?" Lin Fan asked nonchalantly.
"Pay up!"
Boss Zhu's face darkened as he saw Lin Fan's relaxed expression, thinking Lin Fan looked down on him, he said coldly, "At least pay a million!"
"What? A million? Why don't you just rob someone? In her condition, even at the best hospital in Huaxia, it would only cost two hundred thousand at most!" Ye Fei'Er couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up for justice.
When Ye Fei'Er spoke, Boss Zhu finally noticed her, his eyes lighting up at the sight, unexpectedly finding such a beautiful woman standing here!
Compared to Qiu Ruohan, Ye Fei'Er's looks were not inferior at all. Moreover, Ye Fei'Er's enchanting demeanor could even more easily arouse a man's desires!
"Wow! Didn't expect to see a pretty girl here, but girl, just because you say two hundred thousand it's two hundred thousand? Who do you think you are?" Boss Zhu sneered disdainfully.
Ye Fei'Er frowned; after all her years in East Sea, it was the first time someone dared to use such a tone with her, a flicker of anger appeared in her beautiful eyes!
"I am the general manager of Coastal First Grade, Ye Fei'Er!" Ye Fei'Er declared coldly!
"What? Coastal First Grade?"
Boss Zhu was instantly stunned!
Although Ye Fei'Er was just a manager, her position was several levels above Boss Zhu's. After all, how could Coastal First Grade be compared to a small beauty salon?
This was a fundamental gap!
Moreover, Coastal First Grade catered to wealthy and noble customers daily, someone who mingled in such top circles likely had several powerful friends, even Boss Zhu wouldn't dare to slight her!
"Didn't expect it to be Manager Ye from Coastal First Grade, my apologies! However, this is a private matter of my small business, I hope Manager Ye does not interfere!"
Boss Zhu, after all, was a boss with his pride, his tone carried a hint of warning!
"Rest assured, I, Ye Fei'Er, will not shield any wrongdoers, but if anyone tries to frame my friend, I am not easy to bully either!" Ye Fei'Er warned Boss Zhu in return.
"No worries, Manager Ye, righteousness resides in people's hearts." Boss Zhu said with a laugh.
Then, Boss Zhu turned to Qiu Ruohan and said, "Miss Qiu, please come to the office with me, I want to learn more about your beauty treatment process."
"Okay, boss!" Qiu Ruohan did not suspect anything and nodded.
"We are going too." Ye Fei'Er suddenly interjected.
Boss Zhu frowned, not expecting Ye Fei'Er to be so troublesome, he said in a restrained voice, "Sorry Manager Ye, our beauty salon's beauty methods are confidential and cannot be disclosed, please excuse that I cannot let you follow in."
"Lin, Ye, you two wait here a moment, I'll go explain clearly to the boss." Qiu Ruohan smiled and reassured Lin Fan and Ye Fei'Er not to worry, not knowing the crisis was approaching her step by step.
Ye Fei'Er also sensed something fishy about the situation, feeling a little worried for Qiu Ruohan. Just as she was about to speak, Lin Fan suddenly stopped her, smiling, "Alright! We'll wait for you outside."
"Yes! Lin, I will definitely prove my innocence." Qiu Ruohan said confidently, turning to follow Boss Zhu to the office.
Ye Fei'Er glanced strangely at Lin Fan, not understanding why Lin Fan stopped her?
From Ye Fei'Er's understanding of Lin Fan, he was definitely not someone timid and afraid of trouble, and with his intellect, could he not see that something was off with Boss Zhu?
Seeing Ye Fei'Er's puzzled look, Lin Fan just gave a mysterious smile, squinting his eyes as he closely watched the office!
...
Inside the office!
Boss Zhu was sitting in a rocking chair, his belly protruding, while Qiu Ruohan stood upright in front of him!
There were no outsiders in the office, and the greed hidden in Boss Zhu's tiny eyes was released unscrupulously, fixating on Qiu Ruohan's graceful figure as he began fantasizing in his mind.
Ever since Qiu Ruohan came for the job interview, Boss Zhu was astounded by her, swearing to get her.
But what he miscalculated was, Qiu Ruohan was not the kind of woman he imagined. His several hints were ruthlessly rejected by Qiu Ruohan, even his plans of inviting Qiu Ruohan to a private meal were turned down!
As a result, every day seeing this graceful figure before him made Boss Zhu feel restless, like an ant in a hot pot.
And this time, the beauty accident was entirely a trap targeting Qiu Ruohan!
"Han, I originally thought highly of you, thinking you had potential. I was planning to promote you to assistant manager soon, but... you really disappointed me. Sigh...!" Boss Zhu put on a regretful face and sighed.
Qiu Ruohan's expression flustered, she hurriedly said, "Boss, please believe me! When your sister came for beauty treatments before, nothing abnormal ever happened. This accident doesn't necessarily relate to my beauty methods."
"Sigh! Han, although I believe what you say, it's useless if others don't believe, unless you have evidence to prove your innocence." Boss Zhu said with an air of helplessness.
"I... I don't have any evidence..."
Qiu Ruohan nervously clenched her delicate fists, completely losing her composure.
With her mother still in the hospital urgently needing funds for medical fees, if she lost this job, Qiu Ruohan couldn't imagine what the consequences would be!
"It's a pity you have no evidence! If this goes to court, not just you, but my beauty salon will also suffer losses!"
"But seeing as you are part of the salon, I am willing to forgo the salon's losses, just concerned my sister won't let you off."
Boss Zhu shook his head and sighed helplessly. Those who didn't know his character would really think he was a responsible boss!
"Then... what should I do?" Qiu Ruohan asked anxiously, her expression panicked.
"There's only one way to resolve this now!" Boss Zhu hinted mysteriously.
"What way?" Qiu Ruohan asked hurriedly as if grasping at a life-saving straw.
Boss Zhu didn't rush to explain but instead took a light sip of tea from his teacup, his small eyes shaded by the cup filled with greed!
Boss Zhu grinned smugly, "I discussed it with my sister, if you are willing to compensate with two hundred thousand, my sister can let this go."
"What? Two hundred thousand?" Qiu Ruohan's face instantly changed!
Let alone two hundred thousand, even two thousand would be incredibly hard for Qiu Ruohan to come up with!
"Boss, where would I find that money and... and this really has nothing to do with me." Qiu Ruohan anxiously explained, her eyes reddening with urgency.
"Saying these things now means nothing to anyone! However, I do have one last method."
Watching Qiu Ruohan's graceful figure, Boss Zhu licked his lips.
Qiu Ruohan's face changed, suddenly recalling his previous suggestion of wanting her to be his lover, she trembled and asked, "What, what do you want."
Boss Zhu acted regretful, "Han, you should know my feelings for you, I know your life is not easy. If you're willing to be my lover, I am willing to pay the two hundred thousand for you!"
"Besides, every month I would also give you an extra two thousand in living expenses, which you should know is considered a rather high salary among white-collar workers in the whole East Sea City, enough to ensure you live a life without financial worries!"
Boss Zhu finally revealed his true despicable self.
