Why did Bo Lifen have to ask him a question like that? Han Jing frowned at the woman in front of him. Despite the change of wardrobe, the more femininely robes that were wondrously enhancing on her well-endowed features She was exactly as he rembered, but also quite different all at the sa ti.
She was still straight-laced, brutally honest and yet she also began to worry about small things now. How people viewed her, she had never cared that before. Perhaps this was growing up and being an adult. It ant that you had to take care and concern yourself of the qualms of other people.
But she was still the sa for giving him the power to choose.
Or perhaps the illusion of giving him a choice.
Han Jing scratched his head, pouting as he looked at his senior, "You know that when it cos to you... I don't want anything to reflect badly on you. Especially when it's because you hang out with ."
"Ah, you're still soft-hearted like a marshmallow." Bo Lifen chuckled as she sipped so of her tea, "When you challenged to that sparyou stopped midway from attacking ."
He felt his cheeks heat up at the mory, "I think my mom ingrained in too much to never hit a girl. I an, even when my sister Jinjing is being too brattyI'm the one who has to be patient as a big brother."
"Ah, right you have a little sister, you should bring her so ti with you." She placed her cup down and propped her hands underneath her chin. "I have a little brother, my youngest onethey'd probably be cute together."
"...are you shipping our siblings with one another?"
"What, heavens no! Maybe just a playdate though~" She gave him a grin. "Think about it, the two of them could run and play tag. Or pretend house, or they could start playing with dolls or sothing?"
Han Jing bit back a chuckle and looked at her. "I keep forgetting that you have this girlish side to you."
Bo Lifen blinked as she pulled away and laughed, "It must be because of my age, I'm at the stage where I think having little kids would be nice." There was a flustered look on her face, she was actually blushing red as she spoke.
This ti, he was the one to blink at his senior's declaration. "What? Marriage? Kids? Are you serious?" He hoped he didn't sound too negative but Bo Lifen simply smiled.
"If I'm not the serious one, then it's my parents who are the ones looking for a grandchild." She sighed a bit, a tired smile on her face. "They want to run this business and look for a husband to marry? I can't be at two places at once!"
"Maybe they want you to marry a client here?"
"...er, probably."
Han Jing frowned slightly, he wouldn't want to say it aloudbut despite not being as affluent as his senior here, at least he wasn't being pressured like this one. "But don't the people who visit here are a bunch of old people? They want you to marry so rich but gross old man?"
"Don't be like that, Han Jing. You don't want your feelings to get hurt when you're old and gray do you?" Bo Lifen tsked and shook her head. "These rich 'gross' old n probably have grandsons they'd want to marry off. Still quite traditional as ever and quite a deal for future business rges too." A wry smile played on her lips. "I sotis fear that those young grandsons might be scared of so old woman like ."
"Psh, you're not that old." Han Jing gave her a wink, "Besides, so younger n like older won."
A crooked smile ford on her lips, "Ah, perhaps so do. But anyway, I still want to thank you for visiting this senior of yours. It's been awhile since I had company that wasn't so stiff." She flicked a wrist and motioned to their surroundings, "Taking care of this business and ensuring that things run smoothly is a bit tiring."
"Hey, if you don't mind, I'd visit you every now and thenwait I can drop by here and help you out. Maybe an assistant manager? Give about 30% of your salary."
She gave him a blank stare.
"...How about 15%? Er, dishwashing?" Han Jing nervously laughed and scratched his head. "Maybe pluck you guys so tea leaves?"
"We order them from plantations." Bo Lifen answered with a smile.
Han Jing crossed his arms over his chest and sighed for one mont. He returned her smile. "Drats. I guess I don't have a chance with this one too, and I really wanted to beg you before I tried for so other part ti jobs."
"Han Jing, I don't want you putting yourself down like that. I can actually hire you and I think you'll do great, but would you really want to work as a dishwasher? She eyed him with a small frown before it turned to a more gentle smile. "Or even be an assistant without actually getting what a regular assistant manager would make? Dream a little bigger, Han Jing. I know you can do it."
"You put too much trust in ." Han Jing laughed and scratched his cheek. "I'm not all that great as you say I am."
She raised a brow and leaned forward towards him. "Have a little more faith, unless you're belittling my ability to gauge people?"
"Of course not!" Han Jing raised his hands up in self defense. "You're definitely the best at that. I an, I don't get why you hired that girl from earlier"
"Ning Bi? She's a little rough on the edges but she's a nice girl." Bo Lifen shook her head, "But let's not talk about other people right now. You shouldn't dawdle any longer, if you're looking for a jobgo find one right away. Do you need a resu? Soone to be your person of reference? Let's go to my office and start with that."
Han Jing's brows furrowed, "What about your work?"
Bo Lifen pulled herself up from the floor and grinned, "I am the manager, aren't I? Let this senior sister support you for today, alright?" She stretched out a hand towards him.
"Alright, thanks!"
