Liu Ci and Lin Shuwen left after their business discussion was over followed by the father and son duo Zhou.
The amount of time they spent today was already longer than usual. In the past, when Zhou Qinhe brought Zhou Yi to the Sunshine House, they had never stayed more than half an hour, sometimes even less than 20 minutes.
The leader of the little man politely bid farewell to Yan Shuyu and Zhang Yuanjia before he left with his father. The two boys, who had just glared at each other a moment ago, actually showed some signs of making up at the moment.
The feeling of "fight and aggression" between the two little boys seemed to slowly melt away after the appearance of Yan Shuyu's cello.
Ever since little Zhou Yi learned the "Little Leap Sword" from Aunt Yan, he felt close to her and looked towards her. Now that she learned that the same Aunt Yan who could play "Little Leaping Frog" on the piano could also play the cello and was very proficient, the little boy was amazed at her.
Zhou Yi was just a little emotionless at the moment and was not at all like his father in concealing his feelings. Like a useless person, her mouth was gaping as she was immersed in Aunt Yan's beautiful melody. And, Zhang Yuanbao had witnessed the entire scene.
Zhang Yuanbao's young son has tended to be a brain-dead fan of his mother lately. Seeing how Zhou Yi had good taste and knew to appreciate his mother's strength, it made Zhang Yuanjia feel very proud of his mother and decided that maybe he could be friends with Zhou Yi Limited – just to dote on her, of course. . If he still wanted to fight over his mother, his stance could change instantly.
"The "change of heart" of Yan Shuyu's instant son occurred during his most awkward moment. Unwittingly, the friendship quickly grows and grows between the two young children. Indeed, Yan Shuyu did not have time to pay attention to those small details; by the time he realized that the relationship between the two boys had changed, that was when Zhou Yi said goodbye.
Then, as Yan Shuyu looked, Zhou Yi proactively thanked Zhang Yuanjia, “I'm leaving now. Thank you for taking me around today.”
"Don't worry." Putting aside his pettiness for a while, Zhang Yuanjia immediately took on the role of child host and even issued an invitation, “Come again. I'll be able to spend more time with you next time.”
The little man's leader nodded seriously, "I'll come again."
The two little hands were connected, and Zhou Yi then left with his father. Yan Shuyu, on the other hand, was, still mesmerized by the scene of two little boys shaking hands – his son and the male lead are mortal enemies who are always in the throats of each other in the book. Now, with the tremendous effort he put in, they had become friends. At this rate, they might just be the best childhood friends. OMG, he's very touched now.
When Yan Shuyu finally recalled herself from her own fantasy, she suddenly realized that she was surrounded by her little friends and her son had already gone to the office.
He felt a bad feeling envelop him. Shivering, he hugged himself and asked, "What .... are you guys trying to do?"
Miss Sherry, the leader of the crowd, already rubbed her hands together. “Yanyan you're a bad boy. Keep us in the dark all this time. The spill! What is your relationship with Boss Zhou!”
"Just right! We've all heard Boss Zhou's words. How's the situation here, hmm? ”
As Yan Shuyu had anticipated, that they would try to pull it out of her by force. But, when it came to this topic, to be honest he was as confused as his little friends!
When Boss Zhou made a job offer to him a few days ago, Yan Shuyu definitely had to exert all her determination to resist the temptation. But he really felt the episode was not a big deal to someone like the boss. After all, a CEO of such a prominent family is very likely to be described as controlling the ups and downs of several million dollars every minute.
And, even so, Yan Shuyu had to wonder if her imagination had been limited by her state of poverty. Could it be that the amount he thought of would offend someone with boss status? For someone whose time and brain power were as precious as Boss Zhou, how could he possibly remember such a small matter?
Never in a million years would he have imagined that the boss would not just remember him, he had taken her further ahead of everyone today just to put her in place before he stopped the topic of conversation and left without explaining much.
Zhou Qinhe is gone. If he was still there, even Yan Shuyu wanted to ask what his intentions were.
Seeing how anxious her little friends were, she began to worry whether she would live to see another day if she told them the truth. So he paused for a bit and peppered the incident irresponsibly, "Maybe Boss Zhou is so offended that I turned him down?"
After being silent for a few seconds, the little ones were even more emotional than before. "So NOW you admit that Boss Zhou is after you?"
"No! Waitaminute! That's not what I said! ” Yan Shuyu just toyed with them. He had not expected it to result in such a huge misunderstanding. He didn't even know where to begin to explain himself. “What I am trying to say is that I have turned down his offer to give me a job and he feels offended by it, which is why he is so petty about it.”
It was clear that no one believed Yan Shuyu anymore.
Sherry, who was still leading in this, crossed her arms in front of herself and asked again, "Alright, then tell us why you don't want to join a company like Zhou's?"
If this question had come up just a day ago, Yan Shuyu would have been completely speechless. After all, the reason he gave the boss would not work with this crowd at all. Any normal human being would know which one to choose between being an office worker working in a top #500 ranked company worldwide versus being a server in a coffee shop. And he's poor, not WRP who just wants a job for “experience life”. It didn't make sense for him to give up a high-paying, comfortable, stable job just because he preferred the work environment in a coffee shop.
But now, Yan Shuyu did not feel trapped at all.
He said confidently, “To be honest, I am, of course, very tempted when he talks about it. But I thought we weren't that close and it was a big help so I ended up rejecting it. After all, it's fine even if I don't work for Zhou Company. I have decided to work as an instructor at a music institution after I have obtained my certificate. Instructor Liu and Instructor Lin had already agreed for a while. And I will be with Yuanbao to and from work to the future, which is a better option.”.
Although the boss called out to him at a very critical moment, he did not chase after him until the end. Plus, Manager Yang also helped her out and was able to get her out of an awkward situation. There was no uncertainty in Liu Ci's decision. She even told him with certainty that the grand opening of her music institution was next month and she was welcomed to start next month even if she still had not received her certification. This way, he could get to know the environment and adapt. He can start teaching classes after he gets his certification at the end of the year.
Yan Shuyu thought for a few seconds after hearing the offer and finally decided to reject the good demeanor of Male God Liu. Instead, he chose to follow proper procedures and wait to start in his new position after he received his certification. After all, it was still another two months that he would take the exam and obtain his certification.
Starting at a music institution too early meant he would get a salary for doing nothing for more than a month. It was like making full use of them – even though working there only with a junior high school certification also took advantage of them. In Yan Shuyu's opinion, he had to make use of it little by little; if he were to overdo it at the moment, he would not be able to take advantage anymore in the future.
More importantly, the maximum time left in the Sunshine House would not exceed 2-3 more months. Yan Shuyu was really reluctant to leave her pretty little friends behind, so she decided to make the most of her last "server days. One should always be aspiring, even though she would not be the wife of a prominent family, but now she has a better choice, she will never come back and be a waitress again ~ Yan Shuyu thought to herself confidently and then felt that the remaining days would mean a lot.
His little friends were completely shocked after hearing the reason. They had found out about Yan Shuyu who was preparing for the certificate examination and had learned that she was different from them and would not stay in the Sunshine House for a long time. But once they heard that he had already prepared the next place, they suddenly had trouble accepting it and lost interest in gossip. Not wanting to see him go, they surrounded him and said words like,
“Yan-je, you've only been here for two months. You went too fast.”
“Where is this musical institution you speak of? Is it far from here?"
And just like that, Yan Shuyu had managed to change the subject.
It was a pity that he was just smart enough to play around with the young server girls who had just joined the workforce. In front of the boss, he could do nothing but let her wrap her pinky finger.
The next night, on his way home, he unfortunately meets the boss, who can always make him feel helpless in front of him.
Why is it "unfortunate"? Because his boss was already waiting at the mall in front of his apartment.
It was a little after 8pm, and there were still a lot of people walking down the street. Even so, Yan Shuyu could see that tall and slim body amidst others. He was shocked and immediately wanted to turn around and run.
But he quickly gave up on the idea because he realized that his boss was standing right across the entrance to his building, the only one there. He won't be able to avoid it for too long. Therefore, he forced himself to face her and started walking towards her.
If there was no way to avoid it, he might as well lead it. Perhaps the boss would feel highly respected and let him get away with it easily? With wishful thinking in mind, Yan Shuyu walked straight towards the boss. He greeted her as he walked in front of her, “Halo, Boss Zhou, what a coincidence. Are you waiting for someone here?”
Yan Shuyu had just had a conversation. He did not expect Zhou Qinhe to turn around, looked at him for a few seconds, and said meaningfully, "Indeed."
For some strange reason, Yan Shuyu felt what she really wanted to say was, "I've been waiting for you for quite a while now."
At this moment, he was truly sorry to let the boss know where he lived. Waiting for him in front of the building was not a good thing. He became alert all of a sudden, took a few steps back, and prepared to run immediately as he said to him, “Is that so. Then I'll let you. Bye…."
Even before he finished speaking, Zhou Qinhe had already seen him. He took a few steps forward and gently wrapped his hand around his wrist. “Don't worry, you're the one I'm waiting for.”
He was so fast that Yan Shuyu paused for a moment. He remembered himself quickly. Did the boss just take his hand into his hands? Was she destined to marry him and become the male lead's stepmother? That's too scary a thought. Yan Shuyu panicked and involuntarily pulled her hand back. It just so happened that Zhou Qinhe did not really hold him back with any strength, so he could let go of his hand easily.
Oh hell. Now he had offended the boss once more. Yan Shuyu's heart was racing as she watched Zhou Qinhe slowly pull her hand back, glanced at it to the side, and asked, "A reaction so strong, huh?"
Yan Shuyu, "......"
He suspected there was a subtext of what he said, but he could not prove it.
Thinking of everything he had done to the boss the night he moved in, Yan Shuyu had a hint of guilt. But, he forced himself to give an explanation, “Sorry, Boss Zhou. I'm just not used to it. It's not a personal matter.”
"Not used ..." said Zhou Qinhe slowly, "I touched you?"
Yan Shuyu, "......"
Now he is very confident that the word boss has a lot of meaning and he can prove it.
He couldn't just say what he wanted without making it sound so suggestive. There was not much Yan Shuyu could do about it, of course. However, with her four years of dating experience, her words did not really make her blush. Which makes it easier to play dumb. He widened his eyes and looked at his boss with a look of me-yet-hearing-nothing.
The two looked at each other, and neither of them spoke. Just when Yan Shuyu thought he had gotten away with it, the boss started again. He looked straight into his eyes. Although his appearance was not piercing, it also did not give him the chance to avoid it. Emphasizing one word at a time, he asked, "If that's the case, then why are you doing what you're doing?"
Now Yan Shuyu must have a bad premonition, "Does ... do what?"
Zhou Qinhe lowered his head suddenly. Her warm breath reached her neck from her ears as she said, “Creeps into my bed when I get drunk…. Should I continue? ”
Yan Shuyu shuddered.
Yan Shuyu was completely stunned, and his brain was completely dead. All he could think of was, “Who am I? Where's me?"
A bit of hot hair stuck to her ears, and she ended up jerking and getting what the boss was trying to say - in the end, she held a grudge against him while releasing her hand.
But Yan Shuyu could not blame him for being too petty. He tried to put himself in the position of the man. His behavior is a little strange.
Just two months ago, "she" was a brave and passionate little server girl who worked closely with him. And, taking advantage of the opportunity offered by her work, she fucked her while she was drunk one night – as much as Yan Shuyu would not admit to it, the whole process was like a stunning fireworks display. He thought he was dreaming, and it was a rare dream. Naturally, he was very excited. Anyone in that state would be instinct, right? Who would think of morals or rationality at such a time?
Yan Shuyu secretly wonders if the original owner, or himself*ahem*, might have scored the boss because of his skill. After all, he moved into a critical moment lying on the bed next to the boss. In fact, until then, it was still very innocent between the two of them. The original owner and boss just lay in bed next to each other. Yan Shuyu, on the other hand, recalled every detail: he was the one who unbuttoned the boss shirt one by one. He was groggy at the time. As he took off his clothes, he thought to himself; oh boy, there is everything in this dream. He even gave his ex-girlfriend a high-class cuff. How amazing is that?
There was no way for a person to celebrate love without taking off his clothes first; that was why Yan Shuyu was quite certain that the main event only happened after he moved.
The original stepmother in her own flesh wasn't even there to seal the deal. That may sound absurd at first, but if someone thinks about it again, it makes sense. Ever since big boss Zhou Qinhe arrived at the Dorsett Hotel, he had left a tremendous impression in the minds of the original owner and his comrades. No matter that he had billions of assets and was very polite, he was also not as greasy as other rich men. He treated all workers at the hotel equally, regardless of their age or appearance. Everyone is probably just a background as far as big bosses are concerned.
Take the original owner and Xiao Lin, the other employees, for example. The original owner had a reputation as a beautiful flower in Dorsett, and many of their returning customers were well aware that Xiao Lin's appearance was only slightly above average among all the beautiful girls in the Dorsett Hotel. There was nothing about her appearance that made her stand out. Manager Chen chose her as his assistant because of her perfect work ethic.
But regardless of whether it was the pretty "Xiao Yan" or the not-so-obtrusive "Xiao Lin", the boss did not treat them differently before the original owner slept with her. Even when Manager Chen occasionally asked his opinion of the two employees with his boss, he would only give short answers such as "not bad" and "just fine". Evidently during the entire month he stayed at the Dorsett Hotel, the boss did not pay attention to the beautiful original owner at all.
Since the boss never paid any special attention to her beauty, her plan to fuck the boss, of course, did not go as well as planned.
