Chapter 7: Letting Go

  Chapter 7 is over

  Chu Xue's face turned white with rage, her eyes blazing with a fierce hatred. I thought she would have torn me apart with her bare hands if she could. But seeing her puffed up expression was actually quite entertaining. Zhou You Wang had started a war to win the smile of a beauty, and now I was willing to pay any price just to see this beauty's anger.

  After a stalemate for half a day, Chu Xue finally gave in and said to me calmly: "What do you want? Do you think that by saving my life, you can openly blackmail me?"

  "I don't want to blackmail you, it's your own willingness to give me money, of course, you can also not give it. Or... or else, arrange a job for me! I can be your personal bodyguard, or your male secretary, even if you let me be your exclusive driver, or help with household chores, Mr., no problem!" I said with a grin.

  Although it feels shameless to rely on this method to stay by the goddess's side, I have no choice but to do so in order to get close to her!

  Chu Xue thought for a moment, then nodded readily and agreed. She said to me: "Then you can be my driver first! As for the salary, we'll discuss it later. Now I have something urgent to attend to, I need to see my boyfriend quickly, come over and drive the car!"

  Upon hearing this, the excitement I had just raised was like a wall collapsing with a loud crash. I hadn't heard that she had a boyfriend! Nor had I ever seen her bring any man home! Could it be that she's having an underground romance with someone?

  "What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and come over!" Chu Xue yelled at me impatiently.

  I pushed open the car door and got out, just then I heard the sound of the car starting. Knowing something was wrong, I quickly turned around, wanting to sit back in the passenger seat, but it was too late. The white Golf sprayed a burning tail gas and jumped away from me.

  Damn it, I've been cheated! Dead woman, you're so cunning! Watching the car driving away in the distance, I stomped my foot and cursed: "Chu Xue, even if you can hide on New Year's Day, you won't be able to escape on the 15th. This old toad will get you sooner or later! One day, I'll pluck all the white feathers off your swan-like body!"

  After venting, I suddenly remembered that today is Monday and I need to attend a meeting at the company before 9 o'clock. Looking at the time, it's already 10 o'clock, no good! Now my manager has another chance to scold me.

  Rushing to the company in a flurry, I didn't even have time to put down my bag when the manager called me to his office with a gloomy face. Once I arrived at the office, he skipped scolding me for being late and directly asked if I had recovered the debt from that little girl.

  "I nodded hastily and replied in a trembling voice: 'Soon! Soon! It should be soon!'"

  Actually, I spoke too soon, it was just a temporary solution! A year ago, Lin Qi borrowed 300,000 yuan from our company, and after a year, the principal and interest totaled 500,000 yuan. Every time I asked her to repay the debt, she would cry and say that she had no money, and even asked me to sell her to pay off the debt. I saw how pitiful she was, so I agreed to take on this huge amount for her.

  Now she is sealed by Blood Jade, and I haven't thought of a way to raise 500,000, so I can only entrust it.

  "What the f**k is 'should be done soon'?! The manager slammed his hand on the table, puffed out his cheeks and glared at me with bulging eyes, pointing at my nose and scolding, "I assigned this task to you over a month ago, but you haven't made any f**king progress! I'll give you three more days. If you still can't get it done, I'll chop off your mother's hand!"

  What the hell! I've made countless contributions to this company, and every task has been completed perfectly. Just this once, due to special circumstances, it was a bit late, and you're yelling at me again? You really have no conscience! I looked at the manager's face, which was uglier than a toilet bowl, and cursed him silently.

  "Haven't you gone out to collect debts yet? What are you still doing here? Do you want me to treat you to coffee again?" The manager scolded impatiently, as if his mouth was only used for eating and scolding people. It's really suspicious whether he was born with the sin of being cursed by ten thousand people!

  Returning to his own office desk with a gloomy mood, he thought about how he had used many underhanded tactics and despicable means to successfully collect debts in the past. It was also an unavoidable measure, since some debtors nowadays seemed to be acting like they were superior beings.

  What makes me feel most guilty is that five years ago, my debtor was forced to jump off the building and commit suicide by me. After the manager knew about it, he ordered me to ask for debt from his wife, but how could she afford to pay? So she also committed suicide by drinking poison. After forcing two people to death, the manager feared that the situation would escalate and attract police attention, so he had to make a settlement of "death clears debt".

  It seems that I can no longer rely on others, the manager only gave me three days, and within these three days, I must raise 500,000 as soon as possible, otherwise, with the manager's ruthless personality, he might really cut off my hand.

  In this strange city, I don't have a brother who can help me out, only a despicable university classmate. Although he is a rich second-generation, his father has restricted his economic power to curb his decadent life of indulgence. It's possible to squeeze tens of thousands from him, but it would be difficult to get 500,000.

  Somehow, Chu Xue's name popped out of my head! Right! Why not ask her for help in Jianghu? 500,000 shouldn't be a difficult task for someone of her director-level status, should it?!

  Thinking of this, I didn't hesitate any longer, hailed a taxi and headed to Chu Xue's Eita Beauty Cosmetics Company. When I arrived at the fast food restaurant on the first floor of the company building, I bought a boxed lunch and walked straight in. The receptionist stopped me and asked what I was doing there. I told her that I was Chu Xue's boyfriend and had come to deliver a loving bento to her.

  I heard I was Chu Xue's boyfriend, the little sister at the front desk looked at me suspiciously for a long time, then asked me to wait for a while and said she wanted to make a call to ask for President Chu's opinion.

  I hastily stopped her and anxiously said, "I've already spoken with Director Chu on the phone, so you don't need to bother. Later, if the dishes get cold, Director Chu will get a stomachache, can you afford to take responsibility for that?"

  When I entered, I was like this and fooled the security guard in the lobby. The receptionist listened to me speaking confidently and didn't dare to stop me again. I smiled at her triumphantly and asked which floor Director Chu's office was on? She told me it was on the third floor.

  I arrived at the sales department's office area on the third floor, and almost all I saw were beautiful women. However, they were all busy with their work and didn't notice me. I wasn't in the mood to appreciate the beauties in front of me either. After finding the general manager's office, I directly pushed open the door and walked in.

  Chu Xue was sitting at her desk, examining a document. When she saw me walk in, she looked stunned for a moment, then threw down the file in her hand and stared at me with wide eyes, scolding: "How did you get here? Who let you in? Get out quickly!"
