Chapter 1422: Chapter 1435
"If within this year you don’t manage to break them up successfully, I won’t take back the deposit. The reason why there’s no ti written in the contract is that I know matters of the heart are hard to determine. Miss An is a smart person; a year is just a verbal constraint."
An Ruoxi couldn’t help but grumble internally. Businessn truly are cunning; the contract doesn’t state a clear deadline, only a verbal agreent. What if it doesn’t work out within a year? Will it really just be dismissed like that? Will she still get that eighty percent commission?
Eighty percent of the deposit – that’s eight hundred thousand. To them, wealthy people, this amount of money is like plucking a feather from a chicken, insignificant. But for soone like her, from a small household, struggling for each al, this figure is indeed tempting, so she must succeed.
Thinking this way, An Ruoxi pumped herself up fiercely.
However, there’s another issue that puzzled her, which was why Ji Da isn’t surnad Wei but Ji.
But asking directly felt too abrupt.
An Ruoxi didn’t know how to start talking about it.
Ji Da noticed An Ruoxi seed to want to say sothing. He slightly curled his lips and said, "If Miss An has any doubts, feel free to speak."
An Ruoxi smiled awkwardly, "Nothing much, I’m just curious why you’re surnad Ji and not Wei."
Ji Da wasn’t angered by her question. His smile deepened, and he sighed, "Actually, many people are curious about this issue – why I’m the current chairman of Wei Group but not surnad Wei but Ji. The explanation is quite simple. Although I’m the eldest son of the Wei Family, I was raised by my foster father, whose surna is Ji. When I returned to the Wei Family at eighteen, I continued using the surna Ji, but my ID has the surna Wei. I’m accustod to being called Ji."
So that’s it.
An Ruoxi smiled apologetically, "I was being abrupt."
After An Ruoxi left, Ji Da also sent his assistant out.
Ji Da closed the door and then pulled the curtains closed. He walked to the sofa to sit down. In the dim light, a black figure slowly erged from his resting room.
Ji Da glanced indifferently and said, "I heard the Palace Master has returned to the country."
The silhouette nodded with a hum.
"Is there anything you need my help with?"
Ji Da looked at him and asked again.
"Not at the mont. The Palace Master said he’ll contact you if he needs your assistance."
The silhouette looked at Ji Da and added, "There’s one more thing – the Palace Master’s target this ti is Capital City. He’s already successfully sent away the person most likely to obstruct his success, and next, everything will fall into place."
Ji Da leaned back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling, "Our Wufeng Palace has been silent for too long. It’s ti to show those old guys we’re back!"
Chuckling, the shadow murmured, "Ji Da, you’re old bones now, yet you still want to cause a stir?"
"Not knowing martial arts is my greatest regret in life, but I’ve never forgotten that I’m part of Wufeng Palace. When the Old Palace Master adopted
back then, I knew I’d be linked to Wufeng Palace for life."
...
At the beginning of the month, An Ruoxi got up early. Today was her day to go to battle. As the saying goes, know your enemy and yourself, and you’ll always be victorious. She’s investigated all the information about Moli Sha from various sources and felt for the Nth ti that wealthy young ladies are indeed different. Random handbags cost tens of thousands or even more, making her doubt herself – accepting this task might have been a wrong decision. Her entire fortune isn’t even worth soone’s handbag. How could she possibly compete?
Arriving early at headquarters, An Ruoxi had a kind smile on her face, nodding politely to everyone she t, though her face grew stiff from smiling all the way.
During the morning rush, An Ruoxi looked at both sides of the lobby. There wasn’t a single figure by the elevator on the right side, but the left side was crowded. Having visited the company before, she walked toward the right, puzzled at those people – why wouldn’t they use this empty side?
Under the surprised gazes of the crowd, An Ruoxi calmly stepped into the elevator designated for upper managent, preoccupied with her thoughts, not noticing there was already soone inside who showed a hint of surprise.
Seeing soone in the elevator, An Ruoxi said politely, "Good morning."
With her scarf covering most of her little face, Wei Yu still recognized who was beside him. She ca to the company? Wei Yu scoffed lightly, his moderately thick lips parting, "What, sneaking photos inside the company now?"
The familiar voice floated over, causing An Ruoxi to look up in surprise with wide eyes, her tongue tied, "You... Why are you here?"
Her brain short-circuiting and montarily amnesiac, she forgot her original purpose for coming and even the target she was supposed to engage – the very man in front of her, handso, with features crafted as if by divine artistry – Wei Yu.
"You...? Asking what I’m doing here?" Wei Yu gradually closed in, An Ruoxi’s back pressed tightly against the elevator wall. Wei Yu suddenly extended his hand, pinning her firmly within his control, "Are you stalking
again?"
Though he’d gotten the answer from the chairman that nobody was sent to spy on him, he didn’t believe their multiple encounters were just coincidences.
"Speak, who sent you?"
An Ruoxi had recovered her rationality by now. She stood up straight, casting a seductive glance, her slender, fair hand gently placed on Wei Yu’s collar, sliding down to the third button, her voice as gentle as water, "No one sent , just missing you."
An Ruoxi wished there was a crack she could crawl into. Who invented such cheesy lines? Her goosebumps scattered all over.
Great, finally revealing her true colors like all the other won.
Wei Yu grasped her restless hand, holding it suspended in mid-air. What was this woman capable of? With just a simple, straightforward seduction, his lower region reacted.
Seeing his predatory gaze, with a hint of danger surrounding him, An Ruoxi’s heart skipped a beat. The elevator was still ascending, with only the two of them, and a sense of unease arose. She weakly said, "This elevator, isn’t it yours exclusively?"
"Uh-huh."
Did this woman just realize the dazzling "exclusive" sign inside the elevator? Beyond being dumb, she’s also blind!
"Well, it’s my first day at work, so I didn’t know. Apologies for the intrusion, President."
Though her ultimate target is the big boss in front of her, the situation isn’t going according to her script. With the sudden developnts, self-preservation is key, especially since the man before her is her direct superior, at the top of the food chain. A slight misstep could lead to disaster; it directly affects her future salary, which is the main concern, after all.
