chapter 7 debt

After Ruoxue Yao left, Old Liu cautiously approached Fei Shen and asked, "You?"

Fei Shen turned to look at Old Liu, his brow furrowing. Old Liu emitted a strong military aura, indicating he had a military background, likely from an elite special forces unit. Some people carried that military imprint their whole lives, unable to shake it.

"I, what?" Fei Shen's eyes suddenly became mysterious.

When he left, he had declared that there was no longer a "Tian Dao" in this world.

Old Liu realized something and chose not to say more. Fei Shen turned and walked away.

Following Ruoxue Yao's instructions, Fei Shen headed to the HR department and knocked on the office door. A woman with almond-shaped eyes and a charming figure appeared before him. Her looks were stunning, but compared to this woman, Ruoxue Yao seemed somewhat understated.

Fei Shen's gaze assessed her from head to toe. While Ruoxue Yao had a perfect figure, this woman's proportions were even more alluring. She appeared accustomed to such scrutiny.

"What do you want?" the woman asked Fei Shen.

Fei Shen recognized her as Niangyan Luo from the office nameplate.

"I'm a new employee, the 'dumb girl' told me to come here for onboarding procedures," Fei Shen replied.

"Thank goodness you corrected yourself in time. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind reporting you to her," Niangyan Luo said with a giggling tone.

Fei Shen raised an eyebrow, realizing that even in front of Ruoxue Yao, he had to address this woman with that nickname. But in the end, he was just a small fry, struggling in the big city, all for the sake of Su Lianqing. So, he gritted his teeth and put up with it.

"However, why did you come to me when a regular HR staff member can handle this? What's your angle?" Niangyan Luo raised an eyebrow, looking at Fei Shen.

In the blink of an eye, her demeanor shifted from pleasant to stern.

Fei Shen shrugged and began to leave.

"Come back?" Niangyan Luo called out to him.

"What's the problem now?" Fei Shen sighed.

"Since you're here, I'll help you with the procedures," Niangyan Luo said, though she seemed intrigued by Fei Shen's attitude. "A regular HR staff member could handle this, but why did you choose to come to me?"

"My name?" Fei Shen asked.

"Fei Shen."

"Gender?"

"Male."

"Educational background?"

"Junior high school."

Niangyan Luo looked up suddenly. "How did you get into Tianxue?"

"Miss, can you stop being so nosy?" Fei Shen replied irritably.

"Do you want to complete the procedures or not?" Niangyan Luo asked.

"I can do it!" Fei Shen responded.

"You can do it? How well can you do it?" Niangyan Luo blinked.

"Not only can I complete the procedures, but I'm also skilled in bed. Do you want to give it a try?" Fei Shen replied with annoyance. "How well can I do it? How do I describe that?"

"You?" Niangyan Luo raised her eyebrows, showing a hint of irritation.

"What about me? Just because you have a big chest doesn't mean you can bully me," Fei Shen retorted.

This guy's stubbornness was getting on her nerves.

"Alright, I'll process your paperwork right away," Niangyan Luo said, her tone cooling down.

"That's more like it. By the way, Miss, I hope you can pretend you didn't hear what I said earlier. I have a bad memory. When it comes to the salary section, could you fill in a bit more? I'll split it with you later. How about that?" Fei Shen looked at Niangyan Luo and winked.
Niangyan Luo looked up and couldn't help but feel exasperated by this guy's shamelessness.

"Don't worry, I'm responsible for protecting Ruoxue Yao, unlike those guys in the security department," Fei Shen said with a sly smile.

"Alright, take this form to the finance department for processing," Niangyan Luo nodded, a hint of amusement in her eyes.

Fei Shen took the form and carefully examined the section for salary.

"One, two, three! Seriously, three digits?" Fei Shen jumped in frustration.

"You're currently in your probationary period, and your salary is determined by the HR department. If you think it's too much, I can reluctantly adjust it for you," Niangyan Luo said smugly.

"Why is this cheeky guy complaining? Just because I have a big chest?" Niangyan Luo thought to herself.

"Miss, don't be unreasonable. The average salary in Zhonghai is nearly reaching 8,000 yuan per month. You're offering me 800? That's way too little!" Fei Shen pleaded with a mournful expression.

"I earn tens of thousands per month. If we split it evenly, it's even more than 8,000 yuan," Niangyan Luo said casually. Of course, that was just her basic salary; she didn't want to mention the bonuses and benefits, fearing it would make this guy envious.

"You're holding a grudge against me!" Fei Shen complained.

In the bustling international city of Zhonghai, 800 yuan per month would barely cover living expenses.

"Are you leaving or not?" Niangyan Luo exploded in anger.

"You wait, you little brat!" Fei Shen said with resentment.

"I'll be waiting!" Niangyan Luo smirked, her arms crossed.

Seeing Fei Shen sulking with his head hanging low, a sense of satisfaction welled up in Niangyan Luo's eyes. After all, this guy's mouth was just too irritating.

Fei Shen arrived at the finance department, handed over the form, and then left without saying a word. He proceeded to Ruoxue Yao's office and, with a stern expression on his face, looked at her.

"Is it done?" Ruoxue Yao asked without raising her head.

Fei Shen's previously brewing anger dissipated instantly. Now, in front of this woman, he realized that he had little room for anger. She could easily decide whether he stayed or left Tianxue International.

As they say, revenge is a dish best served cold.

"It's all because of my big mouth," Fei Shen muttered to himself. He knew that offending a woman was a mistake, but offending a woman who held grudges was a completely different level of mistake.

Ruoxue Yao raised her head and looked at Fei Shen with an indifferent expression, as if she didn't care.

"Let me tell you first, these fines will be deducted from your salary. The penalty for speeding yesterday, the taxi fare I paid for you, totaling 3,200 yuan. As for the points deducted from your driver's license, let's just forget about it," Ruoxue Yao said nonchalantly while flipping through the fines.

"What? 3,200 yuan? Are you kidding me?" Fei Shen protested.

"Do you think I have the mood to joke with you? 3,200 for the fines, and 120 for the taxi," Ruoxue Yao replied.

"But wasn't it 60 yuan?" Fei Shen was infuriated.

"You think I need to haggle over 60 and 120 with you? In just one day, it doubled!" Ruoxue Yao coldly retorted.

"I got swindled by that bastard!" Fei Shen grumbled.

"Now, there's a lounge outside for you to rest. And I have one more thing to ask you: does the company provide meals?" Fei Shen inquired.

Thinking of this guy's appetite, Ruoxue Yao really wanted to tell him "no."

But she refrained from saying that. "Lunch," she replied tersely.

"What about breakfast and dinner?" Fei Shen asked.

"Do you expect me to provide you with midnight snacks too?" Ruoxue Yao retorted, getting more irritated with his comments.

"That would be great! With four months' salary already deducted by you, if you don't provide meals, I might starve!" Fei Shen complained.

"Four months?" Ruoxue Yao raised an eyebrow.

"Four months, totaling 3,200 yuan. It's all here. And by the way, after four months, I 'll give you another 120 yuan!" Fei Shen replied irritably.

"Haha!" Ruoxue Yao couldn't help but chuckle, trying to suppress her laughter but failing.

"So, does this mean it wasn't your idea?" Fei Shen asked, seeing Ruoxue Yao's amused expression.

"What do you think I would suggest? Now, get out!" Ruoxue Yao raised her hand and pointed to the door.

Fei Shen shrugged and left the room.

After Fei Shen left, Ruoxue Yao couldn't help but hold her stomach and burst into laughter. It was a rare sight to see this guy eat humble pie. The thought of him earning only 800 yuan as his salary brought joy to Ruoxue Yao's heart. She hadn't even considered tampering with his salary before, but now, thinking about this broke guy receiving 800 yuan was amusing.

Despite Fei Shen's connection to Cheng Ouyang, Ruoxue Yao didn't believe he would take money from Cheng Ouyang. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to work here. She didn't entertain any other thoughts. He was just a bodyguard and wouldn't be exposed to any core information.

As time passed, it was lunchtime. Ruoxue Yao looked at the disheartened guy in the rest area and couldn't help but feel amused. This guy was so detestable that whenever she saw him unhappy, it made her happy.

"Hey!" Ruoxue Yao called out.

"Don't bother me!" Fei Shen replied irritably.

Couldn't she see he was in a bad mood?

"It's lunchtime!" Ruoxue Yao said indifferently.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Fei Shen complained.

He hadn't noticed it was lunchtime.

"You're like a monkey sent to entertain me," Ruoxue Yao retorted.

In the end, following Ruoxue Yao's footsteps, they entered the cafeteria together. Fei Shen waited in line, grabbed some food, and sat down next to Ruoxue Yao. However, as soon as he sat down, he saw Ruoxue Yao extending her finger in a gesture of disgust, signaling him to go somewhere else.

There was no choice. Eating together with this guy was too embarrassing. His tray was piled high with food, and he ate like a true glutton.

Fei Shen watched Ruoxue Yao's expression of disdain and reluctantly found another table nearby to sit down.

After Fei Shen left, Leng Nianying gracefully walked over and took a seat across from Ruoxue Yao. They ate their meals in silence, showing that their relationship was extremely familiar. After all, Ruoxue Yao was the CEO of the company.

"Hey, Nianying, did you set that guy's salary?" Ruoxue Yao asked.
