The balls were exactly the same as what he had seen on television before. The magnificent ballroom, the melodious live music, the men and women all dress up magnificently, dancing. To climb up to their class, Yan Shuyu also dressed up like a butterfly in different dresses and decorated with different jewelry every day. The only similarity between them all is that they are all wasteful.
Yan Shuyu was also not a free worker all along. Ever since she attended the annual party with the boss, the boss has set a rule that whatever dress she wears and the jewelry she wears will be hers, whatever the price.
Yan Shuyu was also excited. But, by having a negative side of human nature, one never appreciates what one already has. All of Yan Shuyu's luxury items such as her purse and jewelry quickly filled all of the cabinets in the house and she was increasingly unconcerned about them. He had so many diamonds that it was now just a sparkling stone for him. He was much more excited when he received his salary.
To date, the bracelet that Yan Shuyu most often wears is still the Hermes bracelet that her boss brought back for her during her business trip when they first became a couple.
He once thought that it was very expensive, unfortunately, it was always easier to switch from rags to riches. Now Yan Shuyu finally realized how innocent and simple it was and she felt very comfortable wearing it.
As the attractiveness of dresses and jewelry gradually decreased for Yan Shuyu, so did her interest in the ball.
In fact, the banquet the bosses attended in England was much higher, grander, and classy than Zhou's annual party. Take one of them as an example. Yan Shuyu felt that the host looked rather familiar so she looked for him on her phone on the way home. He almost dropped his phone when he read that the man he knew looked familiar was a noble. In fact, news about his family can be read on Weibo from time to time.
Ma'am, I just attended a dance thrown by a prince!
Not only did Yan Shuyu feel arrogant, he felt that he had brought pride to his entire family and his ego was soon flourishing.
The bosses subsequently received an invitation from some politicians after the event and they even had a pleasant conversation inside the castle. After several such occurrences, Yan Shuyu finally calmed down from her initial excitement. He's not the mighty one anyway. Although he was lucky enough to stand beside the boss as a living human but his function was no different from a vase. He felt that he was lucky to have met all these great people, but, on the day he no longer stood beside the boss, none of these great people would know him.
Overall, attending all of these big and overseas parties and meeting all of these important people was nothing more than a conversation material for Yan Shuyu. Really doesn't mean much.
It was not Yan Shuyu's nature to boast, so she had increasingly lost interest in this event after a few times.
Instead, look at the two kids who go out having fun every day with the driver and bodyguard and chat about the fun part of their days after they get back and, uh, seeing how he was in England but had yet to visit their landmark, Yan Shuyu felt that he was getting the short end of the stick. The more he thought about it, the shorter the stick was.
The boss is good. He took them to Northern Europe for a few days and traded them for his annual party instead. He, on the other hand, was dragged by the boss to several banquets and was so busy that he could not even feel London. Shouldn't he be getting some benefits from that as well?
Yan Shuyu was slow to come to that conclusion. When he realized that he was “kaku”, all activities were over and they would fly back the next day. It is meaningless to barter with the boss at this point.
However, his thoughts had been set, and went to discuss it with the boss. After all, he had spent a lot of time with the boss now and had taken some art of speaking from him.
“Yuanbao and Xiao Yi had fun but all I did was attend the event with you and not even have a chance to look around.”.
"Yes, you must have worked so hard the last few days." Boss Zhou nodded and pulled the one standing in front of him next to him and sat him down. He then asked softly, "Should we change tickets and spend a few extra days here so you can take a look?"
Regardless of whether the boss was earnest with what he said or not, Yan Shuyu was extremely tempted by his offer. Nevertheless, he replied, feeling sad, “I have to go back to work the day after tomorrow. If I take more time off, someone has to replace me. Nowadays, everyone's schedule is tight. I don't think anyone can protect me. ”
Zhou Qinhe was aware of the situation so he nodded and asked nicely, "Then, what do you want to do?"
Yan Shuyu's eyes sparkled. Finally, something he likes to hear. He immediately stated that, “This is all because of you. So I say you owe me some. ”
The idea was inspired by the boss.
Zhou Qinhe raised his eyebrows, "Some?"
He didn't say anything but his eyes said he was being silly. Yan Shuyu, however, was not intimidated by him at all. She said, “I've attended five different events with you in total over the past few days. Giving us a close relationship, I will even give you a discount.”
The thought of being able to make four requests with such a tall and mighty boss was very exciting~
The smile on Zhou Qinhe deepened. He stuck his face all over her so that her face almost touched the tip of her nose. Her smile was seductive and her voice sexy, she said, “Maybe Yanyan can give me a bigger discount than that?”
Yan Shuyu, heartlessly and without reason, pushed the handsome face away from her and said, emotionlessly, "Your good looks will not work on me."
"Is that so?"
Yan Shuyu nodded with determination.
Perhaps seeing that it really did not work out, Zhou Qinhe also gave up on continuing down that path. He leaned gently on the sofa and smiled indifferently and listlessly. "But, Yanyan, what exactly can you do if I reject it?"
Yan Shuyu, "......"
Actually, there's nothing he can do. He had already missed his best chance to barter with the boss. Now that all the events were over, the vase was no longer useful.
That was probably why the boss was not worried at all.
As if he had finally finished appreciating how astonished he was, Zhou Qinhe's lips increasingly curved upwards and, imitating his earlier words, smiled and said, "That's to say, I can give you one request because of our relationship."
"One only?" Yan Shuyu was stunned. His request might be a high-level robbery, but it wasn't as cruel as a boss counter.
Finally, Yan Shuyu decided to accept the truth. It didn't seem like there was much he could do if his boss didn't even give him a single request. At least one is better than none.
He was happy once again once he came to that conclusion and he used his chance shortly after they returned to China.
It was Sunday morning. Yan Shuyu, who had just woken up, realized something was strange as she looked at the window. The light that entered through the sidelines of the curtain appeared slightly brighter than usual, but it was not the sun. Surprisingly, he opened the curtain with the remote control and saw snow falling from the sky.
With the heavy snow outside, Yan Shuyu increasingly did not want to get out of bed. He closed the curtain back and crawled back under the blanket. He had felt tired before. Of the four people at home, neither his instant boy nor the little male leader had a day off and even his boss did not plan on going to the office. Why is she the only one in the morning?
Ever since the music institution started back on the 8th, all the instructors there have been slammed. They all have classes from day to night and, now, they even miss weekends.
What he was more or less saying was that just sucked him up for now and he would be able to sail in the next few months. Seeing all his comrades working hard, Yan Shuyu felt uneasy being a burden to the others.
He also did not teach classes for free. The more classes he taught, the more he would earn. Male God Liu is a very generous boss and has paid him the bonus he promised last year during the holidays. It was over 50,000 yuan, equivalent to two-three months of his normal salary, and he had only been working at a music institution for almost two months.
Yan Shuyu was touched by how generous the Male God Liu was and agreed to take a few more classes in a day.
He still feels unfair sometimes, especially when everyone at home is resting and he is the only one who needs to go to work at the weekend. That depressed Yan Shuyu, made her even less want to leave her warm blanket behind.
Quickly, it was already after 8am and Zhou Qinhe had already finished exercising with his son in the training room. When she returned to the bathroom to take a shower before breakfast, she noticed that the 9th-morning class was still sleeping under the covers. Naturally, the kind and gentle Boss Zhou should ask carefully, “Yanyan, are you awake? You have class soon."
Yan Shuyu flipped over a few blankets and stuck out her head. "Mmm," he snorted and remained motionless.
Zhou Qinhe reflexively reached out to touch his forehead. “Are you not feeling well?”
After all, he was an adult and could not pretend to be sick to skip class. He opened his eyes slightly and quickly closed them again. As if exhausted, he asked, "Is it snowing outside?"
"Yes, it's snowing," Zhou Qinhe said happily, her lips curving upwards. “Salju started down the night before and the outside is silver now. It's very pretty.”
It did not excite Yan Shuyu in the slightest. Shivering, he increasingly wrapped himself in a blanket and said, "I'm cold."
"We have a heater in the house."
"I mean it's cold outside." Yan Shuyu opened her eyes a little more. "I'll freeze to death if I go outside."
Zhou Qinhe finally found out what he was trying to say. He chuckled and said, "So, you don't want to work?"
“Mmhm.”
Boss Zhou himself was a workaholic, but he never expected Yan Shuyu to work as hard as him. After all, her boyfriend was different from her employees. He does not have the same standards for them.
In fact, he could support his perfection if he decided not to work. That doesn't matter at all. Nevertheless, she knows that although she sometimes complains about having too many classes or that she hates getting up early, she is happy with her job. Perhaps because they already had two small children at home, hanging out with the children became a natural for him and he enjoyed it. Seeing that he was happy, he would only listen to his complaints occasionally and never ask him to quit his job or switch to another job.
At this moment, Yan Shuyu had more action. Grumbling, he refused to leave the bed. Not only did he not show any contempt, Boss Zhou even asked him nicely, "Should I call you sick?"
Yan Shuyu knew that Liu Cui had never told anyone else about Boss Zhou but he knew very well himself. Had the boss called him sick, Boss Liu would definitely not have objected to it.
But it wasn't right for him to play the boss' trump card. He said weakly, “Many of my co-workers have a more congested schedule than mine. Even if they were free, who would take the initial classes for me?”
“Then what do you want to do?” Zhou Qinhe looked at his watch and it was almost 08:30. He had a sudden bad feeling.
They live very close to the music industry. Rolling out of bed and breakfast now is still not too late. But not just anyone they talk about here. This is someone who cares deeply about her appearance and, whatever the weather, will at least spend 20 – 30 minutes putting on makeup before she leaves the house. Had he intended to go to work, the time was very tight for him. If he still rolled and grumbled on the bed, he most likely had something else on his mind.
Sure enough, his premonition proved to be accurate. Hearing his question, Yan Shuyu immediately looked up and said to him with a gaze full of anticipation, "Why don't you take my class for me?"
Boss Zhou, could barely maintain his normal composure when he heard that "I?"
“You can play the piano better than me and you don't have a job today. All I ask is that you sit down for me just this once. ” Yan Shuyu did not feel there was anything wrong with that request. He took the boss' hand and shook it like a little girl. "Consider this to make up for all the parties I attended with you in the UK."
Zhou Qinhe gave him a very strange look. "This is how you want to spend your help?"
Yan Shuyu did not feel that she was throwing away her golden opportunity at all and instead nodded. Therefore, he realized that if his boss started working, he would most likely be able to make several million yuan per minute. He felt somewhat guilty about having someone like him to go and replace him and only made 200 yuan or more per hour. Therefore, he said willingly, “Just morning class? I'll do that afternoon myself. Can you do that for me?”
Boss Zhou, "......"
Boss Zhou and Yan Shuyu have one thing in common – they are always loyal to their words. She had promised him one request without any questions asked, although this was very unexpected, she finally agreed to it. As soon as he finished nodding, he headed to the bathroom, took a shower, put on a suit, and left in his full suit.
With nothing more to worry about, Yan Shuyu happily slept for the rest of the morning.
However, it was a side effect after that incident. When Yan Shuyu returned to the musical institution, the usually very serious Boss Liu circled around her a few times and her gaze even gave Yan Shuyu goosebumps.
"What do you see?" She asked.
Liu Cui said in a very serious tone, "I'd like to see where you hide your nine tails."
"Nine tails what?" Before Yan Shuyu could wrap her mind about what she was trying to do, Liu Cui chuckled while rubbing her chin. "If you don't have nine tails, how does the boss with all his business come to replace you?"
Now Yan Shuyu finally understood his point. “It's very untrue. He has a day off today, okay?”
Even if he didn't hold it back on his original job but Boss Zhou was willing to replace him so that he could sleep was still very much out there. Therefore, there was admiration in the way Liu Cui looked at Yan Shuyu in the next few days.
A few days later, there was another person who was staring at Yan Shuyu in the exact same way as Liu Cui. Naturally, this person was Yang Zifeng.
Yang Zifeng also learned that Boss Zhou, a very valuable man, had bowed and taught piano lessons for 200 yuan per hour. He did not know about it directly from Yan Shuyu but all of Yan Shuyu's colleagues in the music institute had been making fun of him for days.
They did not know exactly who Boss Zhou was, but they knew that he was Yan Shuyu's girlfriend. With his appearance and aura, everyone always saw the two of them as a suitable match in heaven. And now this boyfriend is even willing to replace her on a very cold day. What kind of fairy tale idol drama is this?
Everyone is so touched that they regain their trust in love. Therefore, they could not help but tease Yan Shuyu, the female lead in the story, from time to time.
