Zhou Qiaoqiao fell silent for a moment, but she quickly found a solid evidence and said, “Jiamin, do you think I’m worth that much money?”
Liang Jiamin replied in a serious tone, “Qiaoqiao, don’t think that way. Regardless, you’re still worth some money. Hahaha, even I don’t believe it! Hahaha…”
Zhou Qiaoqiao: “…”
“Oh, by the way, Qiaoqiao, I have a date tomorrow! Do you have a boyfriend?”
Zhou Qiaoqiao: “…”
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Liang Jiamin asked her, and Zhou Qiaoqiao replied with a speechless tone, “What’s so great about a date? I also have a date tomorrow, and it’s with a boyfriend. How about you?”
Liang Jiamin felt her words deeply struck like an arrow: “…”
Liang Jiamin and Zhou Qiaoqiao were different. Zhou Qiaoqiao spent her university years focusing on making money. She didn’t have that worry, but instead, she had been wanting to find a boyfriend since high school and have an extraordinary love affair.

Zhou Qiaoqiao chuckled, “Don’t you have a date?” It seems I’m still important to Minbao.
“Oh my goodness! Do you think I’m asking you out for lunch? I’m asking you to come out for breakfast in the morning.” Liang Jiamin’s voice was incredulous.
Zhou Qiaoqiao angrily retorted, “Hmph, do you think only you have a date? I have a date tomorrow too, so I’m not available.”
After hurting each other with their words, they hung up the phone.
The next day, Zhou Qiaoqiao heard the doorbell very early. She grumbled as she got up to open the door, saying, “Minbao, why did you really come, and so early?”
As she said that, she saw Ruan Xiaojiao, who had called her yesterday, standing outside the open door.
“…” Zhou Qiaoqiao was momentarily unsure of her emotions.
“Qiaoqiao, I heard you blocked the manager’s number, so the manager sent me to check on you and also talk about work.” Ruan Xiaojiao had heavy makeup on, with her long hair tied up neatly behind her head, giving her a sharp and refreshing appearance. Zhou Qiaoqiao didn’t know that Ruan Xiaojiao had applied the heavy makeup to cover her dark circles.
“No, I’m a bit scared when you’re like this! Why does it seem like you’re begging me to go to work?” Zhou Qiaoqiao was dumbfounded. This was getting ridiculous. What company would come knocking on your door after an interview like this? She had worked as a cashier, not handled the accounts for a major international corporation.
Ruan Xiaojiao clenched the fruit basket in her hand, her veins faintly visible on the back of her hand.
She told herself to think about it! A monthly salary of over 10,000, weekends off every week, a flexible working schedule, and uninterrupted holidays.
The company covered all the social insurance and housing fund, and organized trips every year.
This job was really good, and she didn’t want to resign at all!
Most importantly, there was the 600,000 yuan that she had embezzled and stashed away. If she were to be fired now, that lawsuit would be enough to put her behind bars.
With all these thoughts in mind, Ruan Xiaojiao put on a smile and said, “What are you talking about! It’s because they see your ability, right? Your grades in school were also among the top ten in your year! Our manager is very satisfied with you.”
Did Zhou Qiaoqiao believe this? Of course not. She chuckled and said, “Sorry, I’m not interested anymore.”
Ruan Xiaojiao held the door to prevent it from closing, feeling a bit panicked. She frowned and scolded Zhou Qiaoqiao, “Are you really so heartless? What’s wrong with coming to work there?”
Zhou Qiaoqiao frowned and said, “Ruan Xiaojiao! Let me tell you, I won’t go wherever you are.”
With just this sentence, Ruan Xiaojiao’s mentality began to crumble. She asked, “Then what do I need to do for you to go?”
Seeing her serious question, Zhou Qiaoqiao became even more certain that something was fishy.
“You have to kneel down and beg me!” Although she knew it was suspicious and didn’t want to provoke her further, Zhou Qiaoqiao still said it.
She said it without thinking much, with more teasing intent. Of course, she didn’t actually expect someone as proud as Ruan Xiaojiao to actually kneel down, until she saw Ruan Xiaojiao actually kneeling…
In that moment, Zhou Qiaoqiao thought about many things, including what happened in college, like being deceived and spending a whole night in the mountains.
“Zhou Qiaoqiao, I’m kneeling now. If you dare not to go…” Ruan Xiaojiao’s voice sounded as if she had been deeply humiliated.
“Not going.” Zhou Qiaoqiao’s attitude wasn’t initially so resolute, but after Ruan Xiaojiao knelt down, she realized something. Whether she went or not was very important to Ruan Xiaojiao, or rather, extremely important.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah! You treacherous person, you deceived me!” Ruan Xiaojiao screamed and jumped up.
Zhou Qiaoqiao grabbed the doorknob and shouted, “If you dare to lay a hand on me, I’ll call someone! And I didn’t deceive you. I never agreed to go just because you kneeled down. Also, Ruan, Xiao, Jiao, this is my way of getting back at you.”
Ruan Xiaojiao: “…”
Seeing her frozen in place, Zhou Qiaoqiao suddenly smirked, “Since you begged me to go to work, does that mean you really value my abilities? Ruan Xiaojiao, you need something from me, right? They shouldn’t have asked you to come, and you think quite highly of yourself. Do you think I’ll forgive you? Don’t make me laugh. No matter how high the salary is, I won’t work with you.”
After saying that, Zhou Qiaoqiao pushed Ruan Xiaojiao out and closed the door.
She could only hear Ruan Xiaojiao shouting from outside the door, “Zhou, Qiao, Qiao! I’ll make you regret this!!!”
Zhou Qiaoqiao waited for a few minutes, then opened the door again to find that Ruan Xiaojiao had already left. Zhou Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, “Crazy! I’m not stupid. If being classmates with someone like her was so miserable, why would I want to be colleagues with her?”
After saying that, Zhou Qiaoqiao closed the door and didn’t pay any further attention to the matter.
As for Liang Jiamin, she didn’t end up coming. It was her first date with her crush, and she was busy getting ready at home. How could she really have the time to take a bus to Zhou Qiaoqiao’s place for breakfast?
Zhou Qiaoqiao was also preparing for her date. She had just finished applying light makeup when Yan Wei’s call came.
“Qiaoqiao, where are you?” Yan Wei’s voice sounded distant and full of background noise, as if it came from a faraway place.
“I’m ready. Have you arrived? I’ll come down and find you,” Zhou Qiaoqiao turned to grab her bag.
Yan Wei parked his car at the entrance of the residential complex and said, “Hmm, I’m downstairs.”
Less than two minutes after hanging up the phone, Zhou Qiaoqiao appeared. Since it was a date, Yan Wei had long prepared himself to wait downstairs for a few hours. Zeng Guoan had said that when a woman says she’s ready, it actually means she still needs another two hours.
Looking at the meticulously dressed Zhou Qiaoqiao in front of him, Yan Wei was certain that she was not an ordinary woman.
With a proud demeanor, CEO Yan calmly put away his phone, and Zhou Qiaoqiao managed to catch a glimpse of some stock market charts on his phone.
“Do you trade stocks?” Zhou Qiaoqiao asked him.
Yan Wei nodded and said, “Yes, I do. I have some spare change. Even though I’m not the heir, as a member of the Yan family, I still hold a 0.5% stake in Yuyao Entertainment. The annual dividends are just sitting there, so I usually use them to buy stocks.”
Zhou Qiaoqiao didn’t quite understand what 0.5% meant, but in comparison to 100, but it felt like a small amount. She said with concern, “Yan Wei, you’re so pitiful. My dad used to give me 300 yuan a month!”
In that moment, Yan Wei didn’t know how to respond to her. Finally, he could only say, “…Zhou Qiaoqiao, with a 0.5% dividend, I can receive at least 50 million yuan a year.”
Zhou Qiaoqiao: “…”
Although she knew his 0.5% was definitely worth more than 300 yuan, but…
In the silent car compartment, the faint sounds of street vendors could be heard from outside. Zhou Qiaoqiao suddenly realized that, oh, the phone call with that distant sound was coming from here?
“Where are we going today?” Zhou Qiaoqiao asked nonchalantly. She had grown accustomed to it and didn’t think further. She just felt that even though this man had been expelled from his family’s company, he didn’t seem to be that miserable. So, she once again became interested in today’s date.
Yan Wei softened his expression and thought that Zhou Qiaoqiao truly had an open heart. She didn’t think the money was too little, nor did she think it was too much. She simply didn’t care about the money because she didn’t feel any connection to it.
After Zhou Qiaoqiao asked, she suddenly noticed that Yan Wei’s attire today was different from his usual style.
Without hesitation, she praised, “You look especially like Sebastian 1 The Black Butler / Kuroshitsuji today!”
Yan Wei didn’t know who Sebastian was, but it was definitely a compliment. He smiled with raised corners of his mouth. For this date, he specifically took out the high-end suit tailored for him by his mother last year.
Moreover, he had also searched many points of knowledge on Baidu yesterday just for this moment. He understood very well that when a man arrived in a luxury car dressed in a gentlemanly manner, it would be very eye-catching. It seemed that he had succeeded in the first step.
Sebastian? He didn’t know what kind of compliment that was, but it made Zhou Qiaoqiao say his name.
Zhou Qiaoqiao looked at him and chuckled while covering her mouth, “Really looks like him.”
Yan Wei controlled the steering wheel and asked Zhou Qiaoqiao with delight, “Who is Sebastian?”
Who is he?
Zhou Qiaoqiao also didn’t know how to explain, so she could only say, “A butler.” ( ՞ਊ՞)
Then, Zhou Qiaoqiao watched as Yan Wei’s smile froze on his face.
Zhou Qiaoqiao: “???”
“A butler?” Yan Wei gritted his teeth and asked.
Zhou Qiaoqiao nodded and said, “Yes! A handsome butler.”
Hmm, Yan Wei instantly lost interest in Sebastian. He shifted the topic and asked Zhou Qiaoqiao, “Is there any restaurant you want to eat at?”
Sebastian and the like could go to hell!
Sansukini: She’s talking about Sebastian Michaelis from the anime Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji). I haven’t seen the anime but I watched the live action and I love it. Hiro Mizushima is so cute! ／(^ ㅅ ^)＼
