Chapter 68

“Pass me your letter of repentance before tomorrow, don’t hand it to me unless it’s more than three thousand words. Lin Qi, go and take down the poster outside. If Ji Lao asks about it, say that it’s my order!”

Mo Shaoyang spoke to Mo Xiaoyi first, then gave the order to his assistant who was standing behind him.

“Yes, vice-president. I’ll go now!” After he received the order, he abruptly ran off.

Mo Xiaoyi’s eyes bulged widely after she heard that. She looked at Mo Shaoyang in extreme dissatisfaction, then stretched out her hand to stop Lin Qi.

“Wait, I don’t agree. Why should you take it down?” She stared directly at Mo Shaoyang when she said that.

Bao Er listened to their conversation while her head spun, unable to comprehend the situation.

“Now that you’ve grown up, you already dared to oppose me? What did you tell me that day? Then what did you do after that? You took leave as you wished and ignored your superior’s order, is this your working attitude?”

Mo Shaoyang asked Mo Xiaoyi in a deep tone. He was very angry with her behavior. When he arrived at the company this morning, he unexpectedly saw her, the Mo family’s young lady on the poster hanging outside their own company. Of course he was so mad at that time.

Domineering, dominant, very bossy. Mo Xiaoyi found that her own brother was truly… she took a few deep breaths before she could calm down. She realized that she didn’t know what kind of words she could use to describe her own brother.

“Xiaoyi, are you okay?” Bao Er looked at Mo Xiaoyi with a slight concern.

Mo Xiaoyi pulled her hair, feeling agitated. “I’m still fine and won’t die for the time being, but it’s hard to say after this!” Who knew how he wanted to punish her again in his office.

“This is your brother?” Bao Er asked tentatively. She never knew that Mo Xiaoyi had a brother.

Mo Xiaoyi nodded. Thinking that Bao Er might not be happy that she hid these things from her, she then explained.

“I’m not hiding this intentionally, but my brother is always in England to handle the company and he only comes back during big events such as the new year. I don’t know why he’s back this time.” Towards the end, Mo Xiaoyi also felt pretty woeful.

Mo Xiaoyi’s unintentional words sounded meaningful in Bao Er’s ears. It wasn’t that she thought of Mo Xiaoyi badly, she thought that Mo Xiaoyi was better than she imagined instead. See, she was already panicking just because she hid her brother’s presence from her, afraid that she might overthink it. As for herself?

A light, bitter smile appeared at the corner of Bao Er’s lips. Her mood suddenly became down as her earlier excitement and happiness were washed away, leaving behind only devastation. No matter how much she told herself that no one knew about herself and Tan Jingmo, no matter how pure she kept herself for her past twenty years, she’d started going down the murky path ever since she met Tan Jingmo. It wasn’t that she blamed Tan Jingmo, it was the opposite. She didn’t blame him but felt very grateful to him instead, because she met him when she urgently needed money.

But such gratefulness wasn’t enough to justify anything, because she lost something most valuable to a girl instead. Today, she wanted to bury this truth deep inside her heart with a thick face, not daring to reveal it to Mo Xiaoyi.

What was this called? Intentionally hiding it? If Mo Xiaoyi found out, how would she think of her or treat her?

“Oh, I see.” Bao Er forced herself to brighten up and nodded to show that she understood.

What did that assistant call him just now, was it vice-president?

“Xiaoyi. Your brother is the company’s executive?” Bao Er suddenly recalled that Lin Qi seemed to be calling him vice-president.

Mo Xiaoyi nodded. “Yes, my brother is ‘VK’ vice-CEO.”

Bao Er was silent. No wonder that interview was so weird, both of them passed right away. The reason was because Mo Xiaoyi used her connection to gain advantage.

“Are you mad?” Mo Xiaoyi threw the issue about her brother to one side and looked at Bao Er carefully. As some people were very repulsive towards such truth, she was afraid that Bao Er had a strong ego and couldn’t accept it.

Mo Xiaoyi knew that Bao Er didn’t have a good family background and knew that she worked part-time to pay for her studies. She admired Bao Er’s diligence, honesty and simplicity to a certain extent. She was different from all the other people that she’d met before. Hence, Mo Xiaoyi liked Bao Er and saw her as her close friend.

So when Mo Shaoyang told her about this, Mo Xiaoyi immediately said that she wanted to bring someone along. “VK” salary wasn’t low at all and was enough to help reduce Bao Er’s burden to give her a more comfortable life.

Bao Er saw how careful she was being and felt even more awful inside. She shook her head and forced herself to smile to make Mo Xiaoyi feel more relaxed.

“It’s okay, how will I have the chance to enter ‘VK’ if not because of you? I am very happy!”

“Really?” Mo Xiaoyi asked again as if she couldn’t believe it.

Bao Er grabbed her hand and nodded solemnly. “For real.”

How could she ask for anything more after having a friend like this? Mo Xiaoyi put herself in her shoes to help her out and even did it secretly in case she might hurt her ego. If she still blamed her because of that, she might hurt her sincere feelings and also made herself seem like she didn’t know better.

“Good, that’s great. Wait, you better help me pray for everything that will happen next. My brother will surely get me back for this, I’m so going to die this time.” Mo Xiaoyi saw that Bao Er certainly didn’t look like she minded, so she quickly switched back to the original topic. Such a headache.

“Your brother treats you very strictly?” Bao Er asked curiously.

“Not just strict! He’s almost the same as dad now, my god, remember to pray for me. I’m heading up now!” Mo Xiaoyi looked at Bao Er longingly before she slowly went up to Mo Shaoyang’s office.

Bao Er looked at her direction while countless ripples formed in her heart. They were strict with her because they loved her. The stricter they were meant they loved her more. She was very, very jealous of Mo Xiaoyi to have such a brother.

___________________

Ever since the top creativity prize was announced, Liang Qing Qing truly became famous in “VK” at that time. Together with her, her two models Bao Er and Mo Xiaoyi also became famous. But Mo Xiaoyi’s poster was taken down by Mo Shaoyang’s order afterwards, so she wasn’t as “famous” as Bao Er.

There was one time when the employees talked about a modeling company that wanted to recruit her, it wasn’t a groundless rumor. Actually it was a company who was collaborating with “VK”. When they came here to discuss their project, they coincidentally saw that Bao Er’s aura fit the ambassador that they were looking for in their other project. They then pondered about asking Bao Er to become the ambassador. They saw that their company couldn’t find one so they went to Bao Er directly to ask her to shoot a skincare product commercial.

Bao Er didn’t have a lot of guts and she’d never encountered this kind of thing before. She thought that they were cheating her so she avoided them completely.

The prize money of the top creativity prize was not a lot, it was just one million. Liang Qing Qing thought about it then divided the one million to three parts. Three of them would take one portion equally, it was useless no matter how much Bao Er and Mo Xiaoyi disagreed or rejected taking it.

So in conclusion, Bao Er, who was always so poor, saw her net worth rise abruptly. Within less than one month working in “VK”, she earned herself a few hundred thousand.

On this day, Bao Er was studying about jewelry under Liang Qing Qing’s guidance. She occasionally drew on the paper with her pencil, but she didn’t have the skills. The things she drew did not look the same at all.

“Ring ring ring, Ring ring ring!” Her phone on the table suddenly rang, shocking Bao Er who was indulged in the studious atmosphere.

She put in too much force and accidentally broke the pencil in her hand. It even left a long trace on the paper, making the ugly drawing look even more awful.

Bao Er pouted and accepted that she was unlucky. She put down the pencil to take her phone.

It was an unknown number on top of it. Bao Er thought about it and still pressed the answer button. “Hello.”

A soft voice fell into Yu Wei Dong’s ears through the phone. It was like a beautiful sound, as if he’d seen her after he heard her voice.

“Bao, Bao Er.” An honest but slightly stammering voice sounded into Bao Er’s ears.

Hearing her name being called, Bao Er responded, “Oh, who is it?” Strangely, her phone did not save this number.

Yu Wei Dong sucked in a deep breath and silently cheered himself up in his heart. This was how a man should chase his own wife, nothing would happen if he didn’t do anything, the pretty Bao Er would be snatched away by another man. When he thought about this, his bravery went up.

“I am Wei Dong, I’ve been too busy these days and forgot to contact you. Hehe.” Yu Wei Dong felt a little embarrassed.

He was approaching thirty years old and he wasn’t young anymore. He had been so busy earning money for his family that he forgot about his own marriage. He never had a girlfriend before, so he never called Bao Er even once after almost one month had passed due to shyness.

Until the last two days when he called back to his hometown and his relatives asked about his development with Bao Er, Yu Wei Dong fumbled for a long time before he said that they never even contacted each other.

His relatives scolded him bitterly that time, “Are you an idiot? I don’t see you so shy when you’re doing your business, now you’re being so shy just to give your future wife a phone call? If you continue to be so shy, your wife will become another man’s wife!”

Yu Wei Dong contemplated it for a whole day before he realized that what they said might really happen, hence he mustered his courage to pursue his own wife.
