However, just taking care of the store and getting such a high commission, Xu Sisi felt ashamed of taking advantage of it, and waved her hand, saying, “Just give me a salary.”
Shen Ye shook his head and said, “What I mean is for you to quit your job as a manager and work for me full-time.”
Over the years, Xu Sisi’s job has been busy and tiring. She had to deal with various matters for the artists, even going to another district to buy supper for them late at night, like an old mother. Sometimes she even had to help the artists pull resources and had to endure a lot of frustration.
If she worked for him, at least she wouldn’t have to endure any more frustrations.
Xu Sisi agreed without much thought, “Okay, I’m tired of my job anyway. But I still mean it, don’t give me too much commission.”
She did not refuse Shen Ye’s proposal. First, she wanted to take it easy. Second, Shen Ye solved problems for the wealthy industries and Ba Jiao Entertainment’s bosses. Once these two things were spread, there would definitely be countless people vying to consult him. When he gets too busy, he will need an assistant, and she can help.
However, Shen Ye said, “It’s settled then.”
He wasn’t planning on changing the commission. Xu Sisi had been good to the original owner and thought that he should repay that kindness on his behalf.
Without waiting for Xu Sisi to object, he said again, “Why don’t you come and help me tomorrow?”
Seeing that he was determined, Xu Sisi’s eyes suddenly turned red, feeling touched and sour in her heart. She responded softly, “Okay.”
It is said that good people don’t get good rewards, but she just happened to meet Shen Ye, a person who knows how to repay the kindness.
She decided to continue being a good person in the future, and of course, she would do her best to manage Shen Ye’s shop.
Meanwhile, Mr. Shi in the villa was still immersed in the joy of his mother’s recovery, unaware that one of the company’s key members had been poached by Shen Ye.
At the same time, in a villa in the suburbs, an old Taoist was sitting cross-legged on a cushion meditating, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood. He opened his eyes abruptly, clutching his chest and shouting angrily, “Damn it, my peach wood and jade brush!”
He sensed that the formation he had set up had been broken and backfired on him, causing damage to his heart meridian. Fortunately, the other party used simple and crude methods to break the formation without using any evil tricks. Although his heart meridian was damaged, it was not serious, and would recover in a few days. However, he also sensed that the brush had been taken away by someone. It had taken him twenty years to imbue the brush with yin energy and just as he was about to succeed, it was taken away!
Soon, a woman heard the commotion and walked in, asking concernedly, “Master, what happened?”
This woman was very beautiful, with big eyes and a cherry mouth, exuding a pure aura. However, her eyebrows and eyes naturally curved upwards, and she had a different kind of charm. If there was a third person present, they would definitely recognize her as the famous actress Yang Yuhang.
Yang Yuhang became famous at the age of eighteen and has been in the limelight for nearly twenty years. She has won two important foreign awards and is the most popular female star in China. She is nearly forty years old but still looks like a girl in her twenties, and has a mature woman’s charm in her every move.
The old Taoist stood up with his feathered fan and said, “The formation in the Shi family’s home has been broken.”
Yang Yuhang’s face changed dramatically. “Then… what should we do?”
“He was able to hire someone to break my formation, so of course I have to go meet him,” the old Taoist replied.
Yang Yuhang could tell that he was very angry and hesitated. “Then… spare his life, please.”
The old Taoist swept her a glance. “You have no right to make demands. If it weren’t for me, how could you have had such smooth sailing for the past 20 years?”
Yang Yuhang’s eyes flashed with anger, but she dared not speak out against the old Taoist’s methods.
She had indeed become famous with the help of the old Taoist, but she had also done a lot for him, otherwise how could that brush be filled with Yin Qi? She bit her lip and clenched her fists, but she thought of the old Taoist’s methods and ultimately didn’t dare to object.
Meanwhile, after Shen Ye and Xu Sisi finished talking, they returned to the car. He looked at Ye Ze, “Let’s go.”
Ye Ze responded with an “Mm,” and instructed the driver, “Let’s go.”
The driver started the car.
Shen Ye saw that Ye Ze was still obediently holding the pen in his left hand and the check in his right hand, and his mood became even more relaxed.
Why was this man so obedient?
His voice softened unconsciously. “Do you need to go back first? I need to take Sister Si back home and then go to the bank to retrieve the jade pendant.”
“Let’s go together,” Ye Zedao replied.
Shen Ye looked at him.
He’s so economical with his words again.
Shen Ye shrugged, what else could he do? This was the person he had fallen for, so he could only indulge him.
Drawing the symbols on the jade bracelet in the Shi family had consumed a lot of Shen Ye’s energy, but luckily Ye Ze was by his side. The purple aura flowed into him, making him feel very comfortable, and he couldn’t help but move closer to Ye Zedao. They were practically glued together, with their arms and waist touching.
Ye Ze’s eyes suddenly became deep.
This kid is trying to seduce him again.
He cleared his throat but didn’t push Shen Ye away. He used to hate being approached by others, but he didn’t mind this kid getting close to him.
Xu Sisi sat in the passenger seat and watched them through the rearview mirror. The two of them sat so close to each other, surprisingly harmonious.
Could it be…they really are engaged?
Unfortunately, Ye Ze exuded an aura of “stay away, strangers,” which made her afraid to ask more questions. In the end, she returned home in silence.
After Xu Sisi got out of the car, Ye Ze spoke calmly, “Explain.”
Shen Ye was in a daze, intoxicated by the purple aura, lazily leaning against the back of the seat and playing with his phone. He laughed when he heard Ye Ze’s question, “I thought you weren’t curious.”
Ye Ze looked down at the jade brush in his hand and pursed his lips.
How could he not be curious?
The information in his hand showed that Shen Ye had a weak personality and was almost killed by his biological father and stepmother. How could he be so confident and lively, and how could he know how to read fortunes?
Shen Ye looked up at him and said, “If I told you that I hit my head a few days ago and woke up with the talent for fortune telling, would you believe me?”
Ye Ze was a bit skeptical, but he didn’t question it and waited for Shen Ye to explain further.
Shen Ye said, “Well, I didn’t lie to you.”
This was the truth.
Ye Ze was silent for a while, then finally responded with a simple “mm”, indicating that he believed it.
Shen Ye raised an eyebrow, surprised by how easily this man accepted his explanation.
But this was actually the best outcome for him. He had been racking his brain to figure out how to fool Ye Ze, but now, he didn’t have to think about it anymore. He was relieved.
He turned his gaze to the check in Ye Ze’s hand and said, “I’ll pay you back for the medicine and you can keep the extra as household expenses.”
“Household expenses?” Ye Ze had been quiet for a while, and now his gaze was fixed on Shen Ye, as if he wanted to absorb him completely.
Shen Ye felt uneasy and looked away, muttering, “It’s only natural for the wife to manage the money.”
Ye Ze was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his eyes and smiled gently.
He earned much more money every day than what was on this check, but now, he felt strangely pleased.
“Okay, I’ll keep it,” he said in a deep voice, with a kind of bewitching effect.
Shen Yeye’s ears instantly turned red, but he also felt happy. He had just used the words “wife,” and the man didn’t object. Did that mean the man accepted his proposal?
Lost in his thoughts, Ye Ze suddenly spoke up, “But you said something wrong.”
Shen Yeye looked up at him.
“Taking care of your grandmother is also my responsibility, so you don’t need to pay me back,” Ye Ze said.
Shen Yeye asked, “Why is it your responsibility?”
Then he realized the ambiguity in Ye Ze’s words. Did Ye Ze mean that they were engaged, so his grandmother was also Ye Ze’s responsibility?
Shen Ye’s face turned red again.
It wasn’t until they arrived at the bank that Shen Ye’s face cooled down. He pushed the car door and said, “I’m going to get something!” Then he got out and ran.
Ye Ze watched his figure disappear into the bank, his eyes even darker.
As soon as Shen Ye entered the bank, Ye Ze withdrew his gaze. At this moment, his phone rang. It was from his friend slash assistant, Shen Shimu. He suppressed his smile and answered the phone.
“Boss, didn’t you say you’d be back today? We’re waiting for you to sign the document!” Shen Shimu shouted on the other end of the line.
There was a multinational aid project that required Ye Ze’s signature. It was worth billions of dollars, and even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was waiting for Ye Ze to return.
Ye Ze said lightly, “Send the documents over.”
Shen Shimu asked in confusion, “Huh?”
“Boss, didn’t you forget that the people from the embassy are waiting for you?” Shen Shimu reminded him.
But Ye Ze had no intention of saying more. “I’m hanging up,” he said.
Shen Shimu quickly said, “Hey, wait! Boss, aren’t you supposed to break off your engagement with your fiancé today? You said you’d be back today. Why do you have to stay there?”
“I’m not breaking it off,” Ye Ze said.
Shen Shimu was momentarily stunned. Ye Ze didn’t intend to explain any further. After a few seconds of silence, Shen Shimu suddenly raised his voice, “Boss, do you like your fiancé?”
Ye Ze replied casually, “He’s an interesting kid.”
Shen Shimu’s voice suddenly became louder, “What did you say?!”
He had expected Ye Ze to deny it, but he had unexpectedly admitted it. Ye Ze had fallen in love at first sight with his fiancé?!
If this got out, it would shock everyone in the business industry.
Ye Ze’s eyes drooped slightly as he looked at the check in his hand, and he said with a slight smile, “I said he’s an interesting kid.”
Shen Shimu: “……”
It seemed like he was really satisfied, otherwise, why would he repeat it twice?
“How old is the kid?” After the initial shock, Shen Shimu couldn’t resist gossiping.
“Eight years younger than me,” Ye Ze recalled Shen Ye’s information.
“You’re robbing the cradle1the older person is taking advantage of the younger person’s lack of experience or maturity… I mean, can someone so young really be interested in an older man like you?” Shen Shimu clicked his tongue.
“End call.” This time, Ye Ze directly hung up the phone.
Robbing the cradle? Older man? Ye Ze tightly pursed his lips, his gaze falling on the bank entrance. Would Shen Ye think he’s too old?
Based on the proof and password provided by his grandmother, Shen Ye opened the safe deposit box. It was packed full, but he directly took out the topmost box made of golden nanmu wood. He opened it and found the jade pendant he was looking for. He took the item and prepared to leave. Before closing the safe, he scanned its contents and discovered they were all gold bars and jewelry.
After looking, he found out that his grandmother was quite rich. However, all of it belonged to her. It had nothing to do with him whether she would donate it or give it to someone else in the future.
Therefore, he was still poor!
Realizing once again that he was broke, Shen Ye became more determined to make money. While holding the jade pendant and thinking about buying a thank-you gift for Ye Ze, he decided to go to the supermarket to buy ingredients and make a meal for him. Although his cooking skills were not great, wouldn’t this show his homemaking skills?
Coincidentally, there was a comprehensive supermarket nearby, and he planned to go there.
However, as soon as he left the bank, he saw a crowd of people blocking the entrance. In the middle of it, was an old lady sitting on the ground, wailing, “My money! It was the life-saving money for my granddaughter’s illness!”
