Chapter 553 - 564 I Helped You Handle It
Chu Minghui’s words were extraordinarily sharp, openly displaying his disdain for Li Yifei. Su Yiyi’s second aunt and her husband’s faces suddenly turned awkward. Technically, Chu Minghui’s remarks about Li Yifei also meant a loss of face for them, but since they were in a position of asking for favors from him, they dared not offend him at this moment.
At this point, Su Yiyi furrowed her brows and said, "Chief Chu, the Tax Bureau is indeed a good workplace, but for me, I believe that being with the man I love would make me even happier. I appreciate your kind offer, but I only want to be with my boyfriend. If a job means I can’t be with my boyfriend, then no matter how great the job, I wouldn’t want it."
Chu Minghui clapped his hands twice and said, "Indeed, love triumphs over all." He then shook his head in a manner that suggested he was annoyed by her lack of ambition and added, "You’re still young after all, unaware of the dangers that lurk in society and of how hard it is to find a job. You’ll eventually understand how tough it is to earn money."
Su Yiyi smiled slightly and replied, "It’s true that earning money isn’t easy, and being without money won’t do, but being with Brother Li, even if it’s just simple tea and meals, even if it’s a modest house, I would still be very happy."
Chu Minghui looked at Li Yifei and asked, "Young man, you’re not bad, managing to make Yiyi so devoted to you. I’m curious, how much salary do you make a month now?"
Li Yifei found this Chu Minghui somewhat amusing. He was just a minor deputy chief, yet he acted as if he was all that important. Li Yifei had casually met people who were leagues above him in status before.
"Not much. Mile City is just a small place; I can only get a salary of around three thousand yuan a month."
"Hmm, three thousand yuan, that’s indeed not too low for Mile City. It’s enough for one to get by on their own. But I’m curious, do you have a house there?"
