Chapter 37: The Twenty-Yuan Appearance Fee

  Including Niu Dasheng and Shi Bi Jia Geng, bowing in gratitude

  The time for the graduation ceremony had finally arrived, and An Lele, as a representative of outstanding graduates, went on stage to give a speech. Standing on the stage, she was the focus of countless people's attention, including Jing Yang's, who was quietly watching her from the back row of the auditorium, but she didn't know that.

  Jingyang brought two cameramen to record her. He said that if her thesis is excellent, he will reward her. Now it's time for him to prepare the gift.

  In the June sky, the air is filled with all sorts of smells, this is the taste of summer. Standing on the steps outside the auditorium wearing a graduation gown, she takes a last look around, from today on, she will be saying goodbye to her campus life. Ivory tower, farewell!

  "Come on, take a photo!" Many classmates gathered around her to take pictures together. After the classmates dispersed, she was still standing on the high steps, looking around in all directions. The campus radio played a song called "The Taste of Summer".

  "Memories seem like countless stars in the sky"

  Never been forgotten by time

  When sunlight illuminates the reminder of dawn's awakening

  We all try to learn to put the past behind us

  Her eyes suddenly became moist, from now on she wanted to put the past behind her. She suddenly missed a person so much, that person slightly raised the corner of his mouth, saying things that made her either angry and frown or embarrassed and blush, all of which she remembered.

  She gazed at the parking lot in the distance, that afternoon with a gentle breeze, when that arrogant man had so domineeringly asked her to go to his home as a tutor. The corners of her mouth slightly curled up, because of this man, this month, her life had been filled with vibrant colors. She shook her head vigorously, trying hard not to think about him.

  "What's wrong? Can't bear to graduate?" A familiar voice sounded behind her, she was stunned, it was Jing Mo's voice. She knew this guy was unspeakable, couldn't even think about it, did he really have superpowers or something?

  She turned around in surprise, the wind blowing her hair up. "What are you doing here?" she asked, then felt that this question was very stupid. He and Yun teacher were good friends, why did she ask like that? Wasn't it obvious he came for Yun teacher?

  "Come on!" Jingyang took a step forward with his hands behind his back and smiled.

  This was the answer she had hoped for, but when she heard him say that, her heart thumped violently. Jing Yang looked at her red face and his mouth curved up even more, "Otherwise you'll be ridiculed again."

  "Huh?"

  Following Jingyang's line of sight, Sun Ze was taking pictures with his current girlfriend, hugging and being intimate, An Lele was touched by Jingyang's thoughtfulness.

  An Le lowered his head and sniffled, "Are you laughing at me?"

  Jingyang still smiled, then waved his hand towards the distance, and a group of people ran up. Soon, Anle saw two large banners unfolding, on the left was "Far Sun Group congratulates Anle's successful graduation", and on the right was "Far Sun Group welcomes Anle". Anle looked at everything in front of her, this was too surreal. Jingyang seemed to have pulled out a big bunch of lilies from behind his back and handed them to her. Anle looked at the flowers and didn't dare to take them. What was going on?

  "There is no bomb inside. The mobile phone's first launch address:"

  "Huh?"

  She happily took a deep breath and hugged the heavy bouquet tightly in her arms.

  She stood there restlessly, and her classmates who were busy taking pictures were also stunned. "A top student is a top student, hard work will always pay off! On the day of graduation, job arrangements have already been made on the other side. The CEO of one of the world's top 500 companies personally came to school to congratulate her. An Lele can be considered one of the strongest graduates in school history!"

  She became their topic of conversation once again.

  "Is all this your arrangement?"

  "This is an excellent paper reward for you."

  An Le smiled wryly and lowered her head, staring at the bouquet of flowers in a daze.

  "I said I'll cooperate with you to perform the play well." After Jingyang finished speaking, Anlele suddenly raised her head and saw that Sun Ze and the woman had already disappeared.

  "Thank you!"

  "You're welcome! I will take good care of my employees."

  An Lele looked at Jing Yang, just about to speak, when Mai Baobao rushed over and patted her hand, saying: "Lele, look, you're really in the spotlight now."

  Lè Lè felt embarrassed.

  Jingyang knew she would have a psychological burden, and then waved his hand towards the distance, and another banner opened, "Faryang Group welcomes Mai Baobao classmate".

  An Le felt a lot more at ease in her heart, it turned out that Jing Yang wasn't just arranged for her alone, she felt relieved of a heavy burden.

  "Thanks, Lele!"

  "Thank me for what? This wasn't arranged by me."

  "Thanks for the ride!" Baby said.

  Lè Lè took a look at Jing Yang and whispered in Mài Bǎobǎo's ear: "He is acting!"

  "Whether it's acting or real, anyway I'm very happy now, I'm going to take a photo." Maibao said and ran to find classmates to take a group photo.

  Jing Yang looked at An Lele and said: "How are you going to settle this appearance fee with me? And what about the props?"

  "Ah?!" An Lele let out a loud cry as if his tail had been stepped on.

  "How can you not admit it?"

  An Lele's momentary excitement vanished, and she knew he was up to no good, like a weasel wishing a chicken a happy new year. A phrase kept swirling in her mind: "Swindler, swindler".

  She handed the heavy bunch of flowers to Jingyang and said: "I don't want this anymore."

  Jingyang smiled and looked at her pouting face, saying: "This won't do, you've been holding it for half a day, now give it back to me, there's no doing things this way?"

  "Hey!" An Lele thought she had encountered a swindler.

  "Good, I'll take this." She picked up the flowers again and pointed to the banner with her hand: "I've paid for that too."

  "Ah, what spirit!"

  Then An Lele glanced at Jingyang, patted his butt, then slapped Jingyang's hand with force and turned around to leave. Jingyang looked down and saw that he had 20 yuan in his hand, his face suddenly turned green, this ignorant girl! He quickly chased after her.

  "What do you mean?"

  "Appearance fee, this is your appearance fee, you didn't do anything and earned all this, not a little more." An Lele said with a smirk.

  It's always been him giving money to others, but this girl actually used money to hit him three times in a row. Looks like she needs to be taught a lesson.

  Jing Yang's face was dark as he pulled her hand in the direction of the car, "Hey, let me go!"

  "My name is not Wei."

  "Colon, let me go, I don't want to be misunderstood by others." An Lele retreated backwards with all her might.

  " Misunderstanding? Who doesn't know I'm your boyfriend?"

  "No... it's fake, we're just acting." An Le said with a sob.

  "But they don't know we're just acting!" Jingyang said with a playful expression. "Why don't you tell them loudly?"

  Jingyang finished speaking and nodded at her to look towards Sun Ze.

  She immediately bit her lip tightly, today was her graduation day, no matter what she couldn't lose face in front of Sun Ze that scumbag.

  She saw Jing Yang smugly raise an eyebrow at him, she could only swallow her anger and hold it in her belly, Jing was just her nemesis.

  She immediately stopped resisting and followed him obediently, despising her own lack of principle, but there was no other way out, she was destined to be eaten by him.

  She followed Jingyang onto the bus and asked, "Where are we going?"

  "Eat."

  "I'm not hungry!"

  "Eat even if you're not hungry."

  "You!"

  An Lele directly kowtowed to this "all bark and no bite" man, his overbearing manner was simply out of this world. The little An Lele in her heart knelt on the ground, clasped her hands together in front of her chest and begged all sorts of gods to take away this devil-like man.

  "Tomorrow you and Mai Baobao will become employees of our Far Sun Group, with a one-year probationary period," said Jingyang.

  She could tell that Jingyang was talking about something serious at the moment, so she immediately put on a solemn expression and said, "Alright, I understand."

  "Mai Baobao is going to the sales department, you'll be my assistant."

  An Le was overjoyed because Mai Baobao had always wanted to go to the sales department, and now she had gotten her wish. "I want to call her."

  "It's okay, I've already talked to her." Jingyang really couldn't understand why she was so selfless and always thinking of others, but never considering herself. He thought it would be better for her to take care of herself first.

  "Huh? This smelly girl, didn't even tell me, really, how can she be so inconsiderate of my concern for her?" An Lele grumbled and complained to Mai Baobao, instantly shifting all her resentment towards Jingyang onto her good friend.

  The next moment she was nervously twisting her fingers and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid I won't be good as your assistant..."

  "Then work hard."

  An Lele was frightened by his words and her whole body trembled, she knew that there were more disasters than blessings, accompanying a gentleman is like accompanying a tiger, let alone accompanying the devil!

  "What's wrong, scared?" Jingyang saw her holding back and not speaking, asking her in a disdainful tone.

  "Huh?"

  "If you're afraid, you can quit now. You'll be the employee with the shortest working hours at Far Yang Group. I can consider giving you a worst employee award."

  "Huh, what's up with that? Why should I be afraid? Not to mention being your assistant, even the CEO position I can handle." An Lele of course knew this statement was more than just boasting, but who could stop her from bragging anyway!

  "Don't get personal with me, you and I are not on the same level, there's no comparison!"

  An Lele gritted her teeth and scowled, glaring at him. Who was being led astray and scolded? What did he mean? Her talent surpassed his by several blocks! Forget it, she'd forgive this arrogant guy's self-inflation anyway!

  Looking out the window, An Lele felt that the trees by the road, various buildings, and people and vehicles coming and going had all lost their color. Her world suddenly turned black and white. God, you wouldn't be so cruel to me, would you?!
