"’Even-Steven? Hah.’" Mr. Luo Sr. laughed weirdly, "Ziyi, you know that you’ve done so many things for the Luo Family. How could they just let you leave? The authorities are even preparing to give you the ’Good Citizen Award.’ It’s only because I trust you. If it were soone else, they wouldn’t even have the chance to return ho and explain."
"There are only two ways for you to leave the Luo Family: either get married or die."
Luo Ziyi’s face twitched slightly. She knew her grandfather was a man of his word.
How her grandfather founded the Luo Family single-handedly was known to everyone in the family.
How ruthless and cold-hearted he was, was sothing the whole of Tianhai City knew.
She was just a granddaughter. If he really decided to kill her, he would do so without a second thought, without as much as a frown on his face.
Seeing Luo Ziyi’s face change, Mr. Luo Sr. snorted coldly, "Ziyi, have you thought it through?"
Luo Ziyi’s mother, Second Mrs. Luo, cried out in panic, "Ziyi, don’t be foolish. Hurry up and apologize to Grandfather!"
Luo Ziyi clenched her lips tightly, her face pale and forehead covered in cold sweat.
After a while, she finally raised her head to look at Mr. Luo Sr., "Grandfather, unless you don’t force to marry, I’d be willing to scrub the floors at ho. Otherwise, even if it ans death, I will never stay in the Luo Family."
"Very well," Mr. Luo Sr. sneered repeatedly, "Since that’s the case, you can go and take charge of the casino in the Southern Ocean. Without my permission, you’re not allowed to set foot in Tianhai City even for half a step!"
The casino in the Southern Ocean was a newly established business of the Luo Family overseas. That place was chaotic; it wouldn’t be surprising if soone ca in with a machine gun and sprayed the entire casino.
Sending Luo Ziyi to take charge of that place was as good as sending her into exile, just as in ancient tis.
Luo Ziyi certainly knew this, but she accepted without hesitation, "Thank you, Grandfather. I’ll pack up and leave within the day."
Tianhe Hospital.
Yang Yu arrived at Big Iron Hamr’s ward, checked his wounds, and smiled knowingly, "You have a strong constitution, recovering so well so quickly. Apart from the external injuries, there’s nothing seriously wrong with you anymore."
Big Iron Hamr was well aware that it was Yang Yu’s Primordial Energy that had saved his life, and he was extrely grateful, "Mr. Yang, I owe you big ti. I’m a man of my word, Big Iron Hamr. Just give so petty cash, and food and lodging, and my life is yours!"
"Business is business, and personal is personal," Yang Yu smiled, "I’ll give you thirty thousand a month. You help with my work, and we’re even. What do you think?"
"Thirty thousand a month?" Big Iron Hamr’s eyes widened, "That much?"
"Given that I have quite a few enemies right now, your life could be in danger at any ti, so thirty thousand a month really isn’t a lot," Yang Yu said with a bitter smile on his face, "By the way, once your injuries are fully healed, I’ll teach you the Lightning Hamr Technique. To be honest, your hamr has plenty of force but lacks finesse. Against a real expert, you won’t even have a chance to strike back."
"You’ll teach the Hamr Technique?" Big Iron Hamr’s eyes brightened, "Thank you, Mr. Yang, thank you..."
"Hurry, go see, there’s a commotion outside!"
"I heard Secretary Yao got into trouble."
"Secretary Yao? That can’t be right. When the director isn’t around, she’s practically in charge of our hospital—who would dare ss with Secretary Yao?"
"Why not go and see for yourself?"
Hearing the noisy commotion outside, Yang Yu couldn’t help but frown, "Big Iron Hamr, you rest well, I’m going to see what’s happening outside."
Big Iron Hamr certainly knew about the relationship between Yang Yu and Yao Yuqian, and very considerately nodded, "Mr. Yang, go ahead with your business, I’ll co to find you after I’m discharged."
Yang Yu imdiately followed the crowd in the hospital to see what the fuss was about and then arrived at the director’s office.
Inside the director’s office, a young man dressed in a security uniform was pointing at Yao Yuqian’s nose, cursing loudly, "Yao Yuqian, you are such an ungrateful wretch! Mom and Dad sent you to college, you found yourself a good job, but you arranged for your brother to be a security guard. Doesn’t your conscience hurt?"
"I originally thought you were just an ordinary secretary in the hospital with no real power, so I accepted being a security guard when you arranged it. But I heard you’re the director’s woman, you’re basically the lady boss of this hospital! You didn’t arrange a cushy job for with good pay, and instead, you have acting like a watchdog. Do you even consider your brother?"
"You’re going to explain things to today. If you don’t rearrange a job for , I’m going to camp out right here and not leave!"
The onlooking doctors, nurses, and passersby imdiately understood the situation and looked at Yao Yuqian with sympathy on their faces.
There was no denying, Yao Yuqian truly had the hospital’s best interests at heart.
To have soone like her brother as a security guard was bad enough; if he beca the head of any important departnt, wouldn’t that lead to complete chaos?
However, much as people felt sorry for her, it wasn’t their place to intervene in such matters.
Faced with her own brother’s accusations, Yao Yuqian’s eyes were red, but she forcefully held back her tears without letting them fall, "Brother, first let clarify, I’m just an assistant to the director, not his woman. My reputation doesn’t matter, but don’t ruin the director’s reputation."
"It’s the HR departnt that’s responsible for hiring, and I had to talk to the director before I could arrange a job for you. If you had any kind of skill, I wouldn’t let you be a security guard. But what can I do when you’ve been loafing around in our hotown after finishing junior high, reveling in food and fun, without learning anything? What kind of job do you expect to arrange for you?"
"The other security guards at our hospital earn four and a half thousand, but you earn five and a half thousand. The extra thousand is from my own duty allowance that I asked finance to add on to your salary. Even then, what more do you want?"
"I don’t care!" Yao Yuhua was exceptionally arrogant, "I’ve already bragged to the guys back ho that I make ten thousand a month in Tianhai City. If you don’t arrange a job for today with a monthly salary of over ten thousand to save from losing face in front of them, I’ll make sure you lose face in front of everyone!"
"Brother, are you trying to drive to death?" Yao Yuqian shouted in anger, her tears finally falling, "Even if you drive to death, I won’t arrange a job for you with a monthly salary over ten thousand. If you keep causing trouble here, I’ll have the other security guards escort you out!"
"Oh, look who’s throwing around her weight as the lady boss now!" Yao Yuhua sneered repeatedly, "You know what? If you really haven’t slept with the director, where do you get the audacity to berate and yell at like this?"
"I can vouch for her, she really hasn’t been in my bed," Yang Yu walked in, eyes sharply fixed on Yao Yuhua, "You’re a security guard who doesn’t do his job properly, causing trouble in my area. I’ve decided to fire you, never to be rehired. Security, throw this guy out! If he dares to co back, call the police directly!"
Two burly security guards stepped forward and carried Yao Yuhua out directly, leaving him cursing furiously, "Yao Yuqian, you shaless tramp, you ungrateful bitch, Mom and Dad don’t need a daughter like you, I don’t need a sister like you!"
