Chapter 1375 1370: Xiao Yifei's Difficulties
The interaction time between Su Chen and Xiao Yifei wasn't long before a woman came looking for her.
"Xiao Yifei, why are you taking so long in the bathroom? Young Master Li is already getting impatient, hurry back with me." The voice came before the person appeared.
A woman with a captivating figure entered Su Chen's view.
This woman wasn't particularly good-looking, but her figure was quite curvy, even more exaggerated than Xiao Yifei's.
However, time had left heavy marks on her face.
Based on Su Chen's judgment, this woman must be around thirty-five or thirty-six.
"Ah, Chief Xie, I'll be back soon." Xiao Yifei appeared slightly flustered when she saw the woman.
This woman was Xie Wenwen, the team leader of their group of flight attendants.
Xiao Yifei called her Chief Xie purely out of respect.
Though this woman wasn't the department chief, the power she wielded was quite significant.
She was known to be very close with one of the company's executives, an almost universally acknowledged fact within their department.
Xie Wenwen wasn't ashamed of this connection and leveraged this identity to run rampant in the department.
Even the department chief treated her with cautious respect, fearing any association with her, for her backing was indeed formidable, akin to an insurmountable mountain for a minor department chief.
"Su Chen, I have to go back now, um, your phone number... never mind, let's contact each other if there's a chance."
Initially, Xiao Yifei intended to ask Su Chen for his phone number to keep in touch.
But considering her situation...
She decided to bid Su Chen farewell and planned to return with Xie Wenwen.
Xie Wenwen, however, didn't leave immediately. Instead, she scrutinized Su Chen with a judgmental look.
She arrogantly addressed Su Chen, "Xiao Yifei's boyfriend? How did you manage to chase her here?"
Su Chen cast her a casual glance and said nothing.
But Xie Wenwen kept babbling: "From your appearance, your economic capability seems quite average, right? Do you make twenty thousand a month?"
This time, Su Chen spoke up: "I'm in sales, earning five thousand a month."
Xie Wenwen suddenly acted as if she had heard something unbelievable. She widened her eyes and sneered, "You earn so little a month? Do you know how much Xiao Yifei earns a month? Without overtime, she makes over twenty thousand! How can you support her?"
"Young man, a girl like Xiao Yifei isn't someone you can afford." Xie Wenwen said earnestly.
Anyone unfamiliar with the situation might think Xie Wenwen was advising Su Chen for his own good.
But in reality, Xie Wenwen simply didn't want Su Chen to be a nuisance.
The dinner party tonight was crucial. Although Xiao Yifei wasn't indispensable, her absence would surely displease the young master.
Xiao Yifei clearly heard the conversation between Xie Wenwen and Su Chen.
Xiao Yifei somewhat shyly explained, "Chief Xie, it's not what you think, Mr. Su and I are just friends. I'm not his girlfriend."
"Oh? He's not your boyfriend?" Xie Wenwen looked suspiciously at both of them, prepared in case Su Chen suddenly made a scene.
She had witnessed too many of such dramas.
Being the boyfriend of a flight attendant isn't easy, especially for some poor guys.
In this industry, it's quite easy to meet outstanding men, making it quite challenging to hold onto one's principles.
In fact, Xiao Yifei was among the more principled flight attendants she had encountered, having never stirred up any scandals despite having worked for so long. This was quite unimaginable for most flight attendants.
Of course, if one were to speculate maliciously about Xiao Yifei, maybe she was just waiting for the right offer.
She's ambitious, and regular men aren't enough to satisfy her appetite.
Recently, on a flight, young master Li met Xiao Yifei and immediately was struck by her.
Through company relations, he tracked down Xiao Yifei, leading to tonight's dinner party through the help of company executives.
Even Xie Wenwen admitted to being somewhat jealous. Had she been ten years younger, she might have competed for it.
Young Master Li wasn't an ordinary person...
As for Su Chen, in Xie Wenwen's eyes, he was nothing more than a pathetic loser.
Estimating him earning twenty thousand was too high; unexpectedly, his monthly income didn't even reach ten thousand, a plain loser.
Could this be the so-called 'true love'?
She found it hard to imagine Xiao Yifei choosing a man with a lower income than hers as a boyfriend.
Despite Xiao Yifei's adamant denial of any romantic relationship with Su Chen.
But how could Xie Wenwen's keen eyes not discern the relationship between Xiao Yifei and Su Chen?
Though much of this was Xie Wenwen's assumption, she indeed saw undisguised affection in Xiao Yifei's eyes, fearing she genuinely had feelings for Su Chen.
Meanwhile, Su Chen remained calm while Xiao Yifei vigorously denied any relationship between them.
This led Xie Wenwen to view him in a slightly better light, thinking he understood the situation.
Thus, she pulled Su Chen aside and said, "Mr. Su, is it? You seem like a sensible person. Tonight's party is extremely important for Xiao Yifei. If you cause any trouble, it might adversely affect Xiao Yifei. You understand my meaning, right?"
"Hmm, I guess I understand a bit."
Xie Wenwen's face lit up with joy as she continued, "Then, Mr. Su, let's cut to the chase. Tonight, just act as if nothing happened. Once you leave the hotel, I will give you five thousand... no, ten thousand as a reward. How does that sound?"
Su Chen suddenly looked up at Xie Wenwen, which made her uneasy: "Mr. Su, I'm telling you, if you plan to cause trouble tonight, neither you nor Xiao Yifei will have a good outcome. Besides, you don't have the financial capacity to sustain Xiao Yifei..."
"What, does Xiao Yifei need money?" Su Chen squinted his eyes and suddenly asked.
Xie Wenwen was stunned, surprised: "You don't know?"
"Know what?"
"Xiao Yifei's father was in a car accident, but the perpetrator didn't compensate and even sued Xiao Yifei's father. Now Xiao Yifei needs a large sum of money. Additionally, her brother is getting married, but due to the accident, the family can't afford it, risking the marriage. So Xiao Yifei breaking up with you is quite understandable..."
Under Su Chen's gaze, Xie Wenwen's voice grew weaker.
Su Chen glanced at Xiao Yifei not far away, anxious and worried, and suddenly withdrew his intimidating aura, smiling at Xie Wenwen: "Then we have a deal? Ten thousand, cash or transfer?"
"Cash, cash, I'll bring it to you later." Fearing any unforeseen complications, Xie Wenwen hurriedly replied.
"Good, I'll wait for your good news." Su Chen revealed a set of perfect white teeth, yet his eyes clearly flashed with a chilling gleam.
