Wan Shuang’s expression stiffened as she said this. She continued somewhat unnaturally, “In short, I made a mistake. I apologize for what happened this morning. However, for a hot-tempered person like you to have such horrible time management, it’s just as well that you’re not my boss!”
Wan Shuang wanted to go around Su Jun and leave with a snort.
Su Jun was a little surprised that Wan Shuang would be willing to apologize to him for what happened this morning. After figuring out the crux of the matter, Su Jun smiled and said, “Well, then I apologize for my lateness. This morning, I was in a hurry to deal with my sister’s matters, which caused me to be delayed. I was too entangled in my personal matters and forgot to inform you. It was my negligence that caused you so much trouble. I’m truly sorry.”
Wan Shuang raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Jun. She rolled her eyes and said, “Okay, then we don’t owe each other anything anymore. But I must admit, I didn’t expect a stubborn man like you to apologize.”
When Lu Liang noticed that the tension between his boss and Miss Wan had eased, he immediately smiled and gestured, “Miss Wan, Mr. Su, please take a seat. I will bring over some tea as soon as it’s ready.”
Lu Liang was perceptive. He knew how tough it was to find a woman like Wan Shuang who could meet his boss’s requirements in all aspects.
Su Jun and Wan Shuang’s expressions returned to normal after knowing they had sorted out their differences. After Wan Shuang sat down, Su Jun asked, “Miss Wan, are you in need of money?”
When Wan Shuang was suddenly exposed, she replied awkwardly, “Uh… Yes, but how did you find out about that?”
Wan Shuang was straightforward and simple-minded. Even though she was so suddenly exposed, she didn’t try to hide it. Instead, she openly admitted to this fact. This was also something that Su Jun admired.
“After you retired from the army, you volunteered at the National Distribution Center and worked in an organization. Although the salary wasn’t much, it was enough for you to live on. However, a month ago, you quit your job and became interested in working as a personal bodyguard, which suits your specialties and pays handsomely.”
“I asked Lu Liang to do some research, and as expected, he found your mother’s medical records in a tertiary grade hospital.”
Wan Shuang was silent for a moment. She could’ve told Su Jun those things on her own. Nonetheless, she wanted to be a personal bodyguard because it paid handsomely.
“Yes, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. But she’s in the early stages of cancer. I haven’t told her about this yet, but I don’t have much savings at the moment. I just want to save up some more money in preparation for…” Wan Shuang lowered her head and explained her situation in a heavy tone.
Su Jun was a little moved after understanding Wan Shuang’s reasons for becoming a personal bodyguard. But he didn’t show any sympathy out of respect. Instead, Su Jun said in a low voice, “I’m very impressed with your résumé and personal qualities. I’m willing to hire you with double the salary Lu Liang offered when he previously contacted you. I’ll also cover all the treatment costs for your mother’s cancer.”
Wan Shuang’s eyes lit up when she heard this, but she quickly calmed down. ‘Five hundred thousand yuan a month? He’s willing to pay me that much simply to become a chauffeur?’ Wan Shuang felt that there was some sort of catch to this.
So Wan Shuang took a sip of tea and said cautiously, “If that’s the case, then I’m in. But I need to ask you something first. What are your other conditions?”
Su Jun smiled and said, “The other condition is that you have to pass my test to be qualified for this job.”
Wan Shuang had always been very confident in her capabilities. Hearing this, she immediately agreed without hesitation, “No problem!”
“Miss Wan, you can drive this car.” Lu Liang reached out his hand to point to an off-road vehicle on the right.
Wan Shuang looked at the vehicle in confusion. Then she saw Su Jun get into a different off-road vehicle to the left. She asked curiously, “Didn’t you want me to be the driver? Why are you driving instead?”
Lu Liang smiled politely, pushed up his glasses, and answered, “What Mr. Su meant is that as long as you reach the bottom of the mountain before him, you will pass the test.”
Wan Shuang glanced at the winding mountain path. The area that Su Jun chose to hold his test was on a mountain in the suburbs. The forest was dense and covered by layers of vegetation. If one were not careful, they would lose their vision and crash.
Just as the two talked, Su Jun had already gotten into the car. He stepped on the accelerator and left. Wan Shuang smiled boldly and shouted, “I used to drive a tank. This is child’s play!”
Then, Wan Shuang quickly got into the off-road vehicle and chased after him.
Su Jun looked into the rearview mirror and saw that Wan Shuang had quickly caught up. The corners of Su Jun’s mouth curled into a smug smile. He stepped on the accelerator and instantly shook Wan Shuang off.
Seeing that Su Jun had executed a graceful maneuver on the bend ahead, Wan Shuang couldn’t help but praise, “I didn’t expect the boss of a business company to possess such amazing driving skills.”
