Chapter 607 - 605: How Much Salary Do They Plan to Give Us
Si Wen sat leisurely curled up on the soft sofa, her right leg resting lightly on her left knee, her posture exuding an unspoken ease and confidence. Her bright eyes, which seemed capable of perceiving the depths of a person’s heart, now turned slowly toward Su Jianqiang with a hint of amusement and curiosity.
"Oh? And how much do you plan on paying us?"
Upon hearing this, a smug smile curled at the corners of Su Jianqiang’s mouth. He knew they would take the bait.
He extended four fingers and waved them gently in the air as if displaying a priceless treasure. "Each month... how about I give you 4,000 yuan? You won’t have to do much. Just be on call for me."
4,000 yuan was a lot of money for young women who were just starting out. And they wouldn’t even have to do anything. Just be on call for him, and they’d get 4,000 yuan a month. A deal this good falling right into their laps... Su Jianqiang was confident they would agree. When that time came... just the thought of having two such heavenly beauties by his side made Su Jianqiang feel like he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
However, Si Wen simply shook her head lightly. Her finger elegantly traced an arc in the air as her attractive eyes narrowed, revealing an undeniable determination. "President Su, 4,000... is not nearly enough."
Utterly captivated, Su Jianqiang stammered, "Then 5,000."
"Still not enough."
"Still not enough?" 5,000 for one person meant 10,000 for two. He couldn’t offer any more than that. If he had to pay for it out of his own pocket and the tigress at home found out, all hell would break loose.
Lin Xi sat quietly to the side, her phone out, typing seriously. She turned a deaf ear to the proceedings because she knew Si Wen would handle it. Besides, the other party was about to have a very bad day. It had always been this way since they were children, and Lin Xi was used to it. The reason she was so well-protected was, in large part, due to Si Wen.
Just as Su Jianqiang hesitated over how much more to add, a voice like the roar of a lioness erupted from the doorway.
"Su Jianqiang, what do you think you’re doing?"
The voice arrived before the person did. Hearing it, Su Jianqiang became as agitated as an ant on a hot pan, pacing frantically in circles.
Just as the tension reached its peak, the door to the reception room was violently kicked open from the outside by an irresistible force, producing a deafening sound as if the very air were trembling. A woman in her forties, wielding an aura impossible to ignore, stormed into the room seething with rage. Her gaze was as sharp as an eagle’s, seemingly capable of piercing through all pretense and looking into the darkest corners of a person’s soul. Her long, black hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Despite its disarray, it only added to her imposing presence. Her brows were furrowed with undeniable seriousness. They were sword-like, seemingly ready to defend her boundaries and warn anyone who dared to cross the line. Her high-bridged nose and tightly pursed lips formed a cold, formidable countenance. It was clear at a glance that this woman was not to be trifled with.
Si Wen and Lin Xi exchanged a meaningful glance, their understanding unspoken: a good show was about to begin.
Su Jianqiang’s face was pale. He forced a calm expression as he tried to explain, "Honey, you’ve misunderstood. I’m just working. Let’s talk about this at home, alright? Don’t make a scene here."
However, Mrs. Su paid no heed to his defense. Her blazing gaze swung to Si Wen and Lin Xi as she shrieked, "So it’s you two little hussies! Instead of studying, you’re out seducing other people’s husbands! I’ll let everyone know your true colors and let public opinion be the judge!"
Facing Mrs. Su’s sudden and baseless accusations, Si Wen didn’t get angry at all. Instead, she responded with a faint smile, her bright eyes twinkling with profound intelligence. She spoke slowly, her voice calm yet resonant. "Mrs. Su, surely you know what kind of trash your husband is, don’t you?"
"You! What’s that supposed to mean?" Mrs. Su’s expression changed drastically as she glared at her.
Si Wen gently shook her head. "It means your husband is scum. You should divorce him as soon as possible."
"You... You dare tell me to get a divorce!"
Consumed by fury, Mrs. Su could no longer control herself. She lunged at Si Wen, attempting to solve the problem with violence.
But Si Wen, as agile as a cheetah, effortlessly caught Mrs. Su’s wrist. With a gentle push, she held the woman firmly at a safe distance. Her movements were decisive yet graceful, a testament to her extraordinary strength and composure. No less was expected from the woman who had fought off scumbags alongside Sun Yufei.
"I see you two are cut from the same cloth. You don’t even ask questions before you accuse someone of seducing your husband. Honestly, a pathetic wreck like him? Just looking at him is disgusting. Seduce *him*?"
Struck speechless by these words, Mrs. Su could only collapse to the floor and begin wailing, hoping to gain sympathy. "Help, she’s hitting me! The mistress is bullying the legal wife!"
Her sharp, piercing cries attracted the attention of the people outside.
At that moment, Sun Yufei and the workshop foreman were standing outside, focused on discussing an imminent delivery plan, when a sudden wave of commotion washed over them, drowning out their conversation. They both turned to see a crowd gathered outside the half-open door to the reception room, from which a chaotic din emanated.
Sun Yufei’s face instantly drained of color. A terrible premonition welled up inside her, and she turned without hesitation, leaving the foreman behind as she sprinted toward the reception room. Please, don’t let it be that bastard Su Jianqiang causing trouble again, she prayed silently.
"Miss Sun, wait for me!" the workshop foreman shouted, hurrying after her, worried she might run into trouble alone.
Reaching the door, Sun Yufei asked anxiously, "Boss, Si Wen, are you two okay?"
Si Wen replied composedly, "We’re fine, Senior. This gentleman here offered to become our sugar daddy, and his wife happened to overhear. That’s when things blew up."
Hearing this, Sun Yufei felt a wave of dizziness. Her disgust for Su Jianqiang intensified. A leopard really can’t change its spots. He sees a pretty girl and he just can’t control himself.
By now, Su Jianqiang was pale with fright. He glanced nervously at his wife, then stole a peek at Sun Yufei, his hands flailing as he repeatedly denied the accusation. "No, that’s not what happened at all! I... I was just joking."
Sun Yufei looked at Lin Xi and Si Wen.
Si Wen shrugged indifferently. "He was joking, it’s true. The gentleman only said he’d give us 4,000 a month. We wouldn’t have to do anything, just be available whenever he called."
