“Where the hell did you hear that?” Ding Jie laughed, “We were indeed classmates in university, but we were actually unfamiliar with each other, so he couldn’t get me promoted as general manager because of that relationship. Besides, the other three managers are more senior than me. So no matter how it turns out, the position of general manager will never be mine.”
“Director Ding, don’t be so modest!”
“I’m telling the truth,” Ding Jie went on, leaning on the swivel chair. I wouldn’t obtain it even if I am promoted as the general manager. It’s even difficult for me to manage the department, how can I manage the whole branch? Xiao Mei, the general manager must come directly from the main office.”
“Really?”
“Of course,”
“Okay, okay,” Li Yuimei sighed, “I was imagining that Xiao Mi will become the supervisor when you are promoted. Wouldn’t I be a senior and be able to tutor the newcomers then?”
“So you’re thinking of being a senior, right?”
“Sure!”
“Don’t worry. As long as you keep working here, you’ll be an elder.”
“Eh, so it seems.”
Ding Jie no longer talked to Li Yuimei after that conversation.
She switched on the computer and poured a glass of hot water, before logging in the Weixin.
Everyone was chatting about the promotion in WeChat group of the branch office. She chose to remain silent.
Then she received a message from Yu Hui.
“Xiao Jie, come to the restroom.”
The frowning Ding Jie replied an emoji of OK then.
She then walked out.
She didn’t take the phone because it was still charging.
Just as Ding Jie left, Liu Mi received a message from Li Ze.
“My wife is going to have a talk with Yu Hui in the restroom. Can you eavesdrop on their conversation?”
“How do you know that? Have you got a monitor on your side?”
“I’ll talk to you later. Please.”
“OK!”
Liu Mi followed up with the message.
Ding Jie walked into the restroom revealing a dark face at Yu Hui by the window.
Standing next to Hui, Ding Jie asked, “Anything wrong?”
“What do you think of the city?”
“Pretty good.”
“So do I,” Yu Hui stared out through the window at the scenario, “Compared with Shenzhen, Guangzhou or other cities, Xiamen is much greener, cleaner on the street, and in addition, the security is also very good. Even if you walked on the vacant road at midnight, the possibility of an accident would be minimal. So I don’t want to leave such a beautiful, environmentally friendly, and safe city.”
“Is this all?”
“Of course not,” Yu Hui narrowed her eyes. “I hope you can help me.”
“What help?”
“Promise me.”
“I’m sorry, Sister Hui. I am afraid I might not be able to help you.”
“Why?”
“Tell me what happened first.”
“Alright,” Yu Hui glanced at Ding Jie, “Both Xiao Lian and you were introduced by me. As a middleman, I always draw some of the money from it. You may feel it as an exaggeration I guess. But you all know I will cover for you when necessary. Let’s take Xiao Lian as an example, I’d covered up for her a couple of times, or she’d have been discovered by her husband. So I am indispensable to her. As for you, because you’re no longer working, we are back to normal colleagues. Xiao Jie, is there any problem?”
“Sis Hui, tell me the key point of why you called me.”
“I’m in short of money. I’d like you to attend the show again.”
“Never,” Ding Jie refused her. “When I gave you the card, It means I was no longer the beauty in Rose Club, let along attending the show. Discuss with Xiao Lian if you lack money. But as far as I know, she wouldn’t also agree to go anymore, because she’s almost made enough money. I really don’t understand you, Sister Hui. Why are you in short of money when you haven’t used your money to repay the mortgage or anything? If I’m not wrong, you’ve got at least two hundred thousand from Xiao Lian, so I really don’t know where you spent the money.”
“I have the freedom to spend my money, however, I want to. I’m not obliged to tell you.”
“It is also my freedom whether to attend the show or not.”
“Really?”
Ding Jie was uncomfortable at Yu Hui’s meaningful smile, “I hope you won’t break our contract.”
“It shouldn’t be considered as a show, and has nothing to do with the Rose Club.”
“I don’t understand,”
Yu Hui whispered at Ding Jie’s ear, “Everyone will come up with the conclusion that you are beautiful. Therefore, there are countless men who want to make love with you. I have a rich friend who would pay a hundred thousand to share the night with you. You just have to sleep with him for a night to gain the money. And as the introducer, I will get an extra bonus.”
“Impossible!”
“I’m not lying.”
“I mean, I can’t agree to it!”
“Any questions?” With a contemptuous smile, Yu Hui said, “I know what kind of woman you are, so don’t pretend to be pure. Does it matter if you are fucked again by another man? Even if you are clean now, you were a prostitute before ”
“Stop slandering me!”
“I’m sorry,” Yu Hui narrowed her eyes, “I should call you beauty but not a prostitute. After all, it’s better to be called a beauty.”
“I’ve already set the boundaries with you, so please don’t mention the club, much less take me as a frivolous woman.”
Ding Jie immediately headed towards the door.
“I’m sorry that I don’t mind sharing our chat history with your husband.”
Ding Jie stopped dead immediately at her words.
Seeing this, Yu Hui seemed to be victorious. “Do it again. You can get a hundred thousand yuan, and I will get 20, 000 yuan.”
