chapter 8 vomit again

"Right, that jerk has such a foul mouth. Ruoxue, you're not planning to overturn my decision, are you? Although it's a bit excessive, we should at least maintain it for a month," Niangyan Luo looked at Ruoxue Yao and pleaded.

"Why would I overturn your decision? I don't like that jerk either. It's best if he keeps getting paid this much!" Ruoxue Yao replied in a hushed tone.

"Good, let's work together to give that jerk a hard time!" Niangyan Luo nodded and blinked at Ruoxue Yao.

At this moment, the two women shared an astonishing level of understanding. As they burst into laughter, the male employees in the company were left in shock. They were used to seeing Ruoxue Yao and Niangyan Luo acting aloof, their heads held high as they barely acknowledged anyone. When had they ever seen them act so lively? Could it be that only beautiful women understood each other?

Only Fei Shen was left feeling resentful. "These two girls are ganging up on me, and they're even celebrating together. Just wait, one day, I'll throw both of you onto the bed and spank your butts!" he thought mischievously.

During the meal, Fei Shen devoured his food like a whirlwind, leaving nothing behind. However, he was disappointed that he didn't see Lianqing Su. Perhaps she hadn't eaten lunch today or was absent from work.

After finishing his meal, Fei Shen quietly left the cafeteria and retreated to his own rest area. He lay on his back, staring at the ceiling, and felt that life had become increasingly bleak under the torment of the two wicked women. Even something as simple as having lunch had become a problem.

Where could he make some money?

Fei Shen knew that if he asked, Cheng Ouyang wouldn't hesitate to lend him some money. However, he couldn't bring himself to take money from others so shamelessly, especially when he had already saved Cheng Ouyang's life. Besides, he couldn't use that as an excuse forever.

Fei Shen's original plan was to work, move out of Cheng Ouyang's house, and find a place near Lianqing Su's home. That way, he could see his little darling every day. As a father, he felt like a complete failure for not even having met his own daughter.

However, because he had offended the two wicked women, Fei Shen felt that this plan would have to be postponed indefinitely.

While Fei Shen was lost in thought, he heard the click-clack of high heels approaching. He looked up and saw Ruoxue Yao's figure.

"Well, get ready. We're going out in a while," Ruoxue Yao said.

"Get ready for what? I have nothing to prepare," Fei Shen replied irritably.

"Fei Shen, can you please speak more politely?" Ruoxue Yao's brows furrowed lightly.

"Fine, my salary's been increased!" Fei Shen said nonchalantly.

On this matter, he held a deep grudge.

"Raising your salary isn't impossible!" Ruoxue Yao looked at Fei Shen thoughtfully. She wanted nothing more than to kick this guy out of the company, but due to Cheng Ouyang's face, she couldn't do it. Doing so would undoubtedly damage Cheng Ouyang's reputation, and it wasn't worth it just for Fei Shen.

Moreover, tormenting this guy for fun was one of Ruoxue Yao's few sources of amusement. Since she couldn't fire him, she considered raising his salary a little bit. However, an increase to eight hundred wasn't much, and it wouldn't make much difference to the company's bottom line. Still, it would be a tiny victory for her.

"Yao CEO, Yao beauty, how can I get a raise?" Fei Shen's eyes lit up as he looked at Ruoxue Yao.

"Fei Shen, you have no shame. I'm giving you a raise, and you're addressing me as Yao beauty and Yao CEO?" Ruoxue Yao said irritably.

"Sure, I have no problem with getting a raise!" Fei Shen replied.

Ruoxue Yao chuckled at his audacity. "You can have a raise, but it'll depend on your performance. If you perform well, I'll give you a bonus. However, if you perform poorly, you'll face penalties."

"Nope!" Fei Shen shook his head.

"Performance is subjective, and in the end, I'll be the one deciding. I'm afraid you'll trick me out of that eight hundred," Fei Shen explained.

Hearing this, Ruoxue Yao couldn't help but chuckle. "You're quite clever."

"Then, how about this? Eight hundred is the baseline, and you can't deduct it unless there's a major incident and I willingly admit my mistake," Fei Shen suggested.

"Don't worry, I have some dignity. I won't deny my mistakes when I make them," Fei Shen added as an afterthought.

"You and dignity?" Ruoxue Yao couldn't help but laugh. It seemed like Fei Shen had never done anything dignified since she'd known him.

After some negotiation, Fei Shen managed to secure his baseline salary of eight hundred. In the grand scheme of things, the difference between eight hundred and eight thousand wasn't significant for Ruoxue Yao. As for the reward and penalty system, it was just a way for her to control this troublemaker. Fei Shen was a mischievous character with a lot of grievances, and Ruoxue Yao wanted to keep him in check.

Ruoxue Yao changed into a pink suit, adding a touch of charisma to her already stunning appearance. Fei Shen followed her closely, watching her alluring figure and thinking, "This woman is a real troublemaker. If this continues, I might just fall for her."

Downstairs, a well-mannered man approached Ruoxue Yao.

"Yao CEO, I need to talk to you about something," he said.

"I'm about to leave, you have five minutes," Ruoxue Yao replied coldly, glancing at her watch.

Seeing this, Fei Shen discreetly moved away. He knew that when Ruoxue Yao's aura was this strong, it was better to keep his distance.

Five minutes later, when Ruoxue Yao turned around to look for Fei Shen, she realized he had disappeared. After searching for a while, she finally spotted him.

Fei Shen was talking to the receptionist at the front desk. Her face was red, and he was holding her hand, gesturing dramatically. From a distance, it was impossible to hear what he was saying, but it was clear that he was up to no good.

Entering the conversation, Ruoxue Yao overheard him saying, "See this line? It represents your career. The break in the middle means you won't get far in your career."

The receptionist gasped, "What should I do?"

Fei Shen reassured her with a grin, "Don't worry, although your career may not go far, your hand indicates you'll marry a wealthy husband."

"Really?" The receptionist blushed but was clearly delighted.

"Would you like me to read yours too?" A hand reached out in front of Fei Shen.

Fei Shen noticed that the hand was delicate and beautiful. The fingers were slender and the palm fair as jade. However, the voice sounded oddly familiar.

"Yao CEO!" Fei Shen chuckled nervously.

The receptionist quickly withdrew her hand, blushing and addressing Ruoxue Yao respectfully.

"In the future, during working hours, no personal discussions are allowed," Ruoxue Yao said coldly, and her presence was so intimidating that the receptionist turned red and dared not speak.

Then, Ruoxue Yao turned her gaze towards Fei Shen, sighed, and shook her head. She knew that lecturing this guy was futile. She would just have to keep an eye on him to prevent him from causing more trouble.

"When we finish work, remind me to give you a lesson," Fei Shen whispered to the receptionist with a wink.

"By the way, Yao CEO, you mentioned wanting your palm read earlier. Do you still want to do it?" Fei Shen asked earnestly.

"You can rest assured; it's not allowed, and it won't cost you anything!" Fei Shen said confidently.

"Get lost! This is the first time, but if I catch you doing this again, I'll deduct it from your salary!" Ruoxue Yao threatened through gritted teeth.

The two of them then headed outside the company. Ruoxue Yao stood in front of her car, took out her car keys from her bag, and tossed them to Fei Shen.

"Yao CEO, are you sure you want me to drive?" Fei Shen blinked as he caught the keys.

"If you don't drive, should I?" Ruoxue Yao replied irritably.

"Alright!" Fei Shen nodded. It seemed like this woman enjoyed excitement. The last incident clearly hadn't satisfied her.

As Fei Shen got into the car, he contemplated how thrilling this ride might be. If he could make the CEO happy, perhaps she'd give him a raise.

"Drive, but if you exceed 80 kilometers per hour, you won't get your salary for this month!" Ruoxue Yao's cold voice rang in Fei Shen's ears.

"What if I don't exceed it?" Fei Shen blinked and started bargaining.

"No deductions," Ruoxue Yao replied.

"Can't you reward me a bit?" Fei Shen asked.

Ruoxue Yao raised two fingers.

"200?" Fei Shen's eyes lit up.

"20!" Ruoxue Yao replied firmly.

"Alright," Fei Shen said, a bit disappointed, but even a small reward was better than nothing.

Fei Shen slowly started the car. "Yao CEO, please keep an eye on the speedometer, or I'm afraid you'll renege on the deal."

"Let's go," Ruoxue Yao replied coldly, keeping her words to a minimum.

Fei Shen smirked inwardly, thinking that just because he couldn't exceed 80 kilometers per hour didn't mean he couldn't have some fun. In this bustling city with heavy traffic, there were other ways to make the ride interesting.

The car swiftly merged into the flow of traffic. Ruoxue Yao kept her eyes on the speedometer. To her disappointment, every time the needle approached the critical point, Fei Shen quickly slowed down. She couldn't find any reason to scold him.

They arrived at the entrance of New World. Fei Shen skillfully brought the car to a stop.

Ruoxue Yao pushed open the car door, looking pale. Poor Yao CEO, she vomited again!

"I told you to drive, and you drive like this?" Ruoxue Yao was furious.

"But I didn't exceed 80 kilometers per hour," Fei Shen said, looking somewhat aggrieved.

"Steady! Do you understand? Steady! If I vomit in your car again, I'll deduct your salary!" Ruoxue Yao declared domineeringly.

"Okay," Fei Shen replied meekly.

"What about the reward?" Fei Shen asked weakly.

"Don't worry, next month when we distribute salaries, your bonus will be in your paycheck," Ruoxue Yao said coldly.

With that, Ruoxue Yao entered the gates of New World, leaving Fei Shen to follow behind her.

"This girl always uses my salary to threaten me, but it seems like I really fall for it," Fei Shen muttered, touching his nose.

"Men's clothing?" Fei Shen looked around as Ruoxue Yao picked out clothes.

"Is this for her father or her boyfriend?" A busy CEO like Ruoxue Yao wouldn't have the time to go shopping unless it was for someone she deemed extremely important. If not for someone significant in her life, she probably wouldn't personally select clothes. However, it seemed she was looking at younger styles.

Thinking about this, Fei Shen couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. He wondered if someone had managed to win Ruoxue Yao's heart.
