chapter 10 Where do we not meet in life

uoxue Yao, after hearing that, a faint smile graced her lips, which looked quite charming.

"You don't say, I actually thought the same thing. Just two hundred? Take it or leave it!" Ruoxue Yao casually dropped a sentence.

With that said, she made a call, "Uncle Yang, it's settled now. Please ask your people to withdraw. Thank you. No, I'm fine!"

Listening to Ruoxue Yao's words, Fei Shen noticed a van not far away quickly leaving.

"This girl indeed had a plan. Seems like two hundred isn't bad!" Fei Shen muttered to himself, feeling a bit annoyed.

Before, he had some disdain for this woman, but now he realized she was no fool. If it weren't for the fact that he found this girl so annoying, Ruoxue Yao might have even rewarded him.

But what can he do? This girl really gets on his nerves.

"I thought I heard you say that earlier? Didn't you call me 'Old Man' quite happily? Now, what's this?" Ruoxue Yao looked at Fei Shen and blinked her eyes.

After successfully recovering the multi-million debt for the company, Ruoxue Yao was naturally in a good mood. She did have a plan in place, but this guy did contribute.

If it weren't for the fact that Fei Shen was so irritating, she might even have considered giving him a reward. But why did this guy have to be so unlikable?

"Want a little extra?" Ruoxue Yao asked.

"Yeah!" Fei Shen nodded.

"But, you can't give me two, nor can you give me twenty. Anything with a 'two' in it is off-limits!" Fei Shen said.

"Really?" Ruoxue Yao blinked her eyes.

"Can't do it. I have principles!" Fei Shen replied.

"Alright then, I'll add two hundred for you!" Ruoxue Yao said.

"Thank you, Yao Boss!" Fei Shen replied.

"Drive now! If you hit a pothole, I'll deduct a hundred from your pay. And don't even think about trying to fool me. I'll make sure you don't get a single cent!" Ruoxue Yao said fiercely.

Fei Shen nodded, started the car, and carefully maneuvered around a pothole on the road. Ruoxue Yao watched with satisfaction.

"This guy just needs some discipline," Ruoxue Yao thought to herself.

The journey was uneventful, and they finally arrived back at the entrance of Tianxue International. Fei Shen let out a sigh of relief.

At the entrance, a security guard was directing Fei Shen's car. However, when Fei Shen parked the car, there was a slight bump.

"Yao Boss, there's a pothole!" Fei Shen said with a mournful expression.

"Alright, follow the rules!" Ruoxue Yao replied calmly.

Seeing Ruoxue Yao get out of the car, Fei Shen was at a loss. This woman was really ruthless.

"Not bad, you settled the debt in a day. Keep up the good work, I have high hopes for you!" Ruoxue Yao looked at Fei Shen, blinked her eyes, and showed her encouragement.

"Damn it! What's going on here?" Fei Shen felt furious, looking at the security guard outside the car who was happily greeting Ruoxue Yao."

Getting out of the car, Fei Shen cursed loudly, "This damn bastard was blindly directing me and gesturing around, saying there's a pothole, and it made me lose money!"

In the fearful eyes of the young security guard, Fei Shen seemed like a ferocious tiger descending from the mountain. The guard had heard that Ruoxue Yao had recently hired a new bodyguard, someone who had single-handedly defeated more than ten elite members of the security department. Wasn't this the same guy?

"Regardless of right or wrong, colleagues fighting results in wage deductions," Ruoxue Yao calmly stated from the sidelines.

Seeing Ruoxue Yao standing there, coldly observing the situation with her arms crossed, Fei Shen chuckled and approached the young security guard, extending his hand.

"Hehe, just kidding with you. You don't mind, right?" Fei Shen said.

"I don't mind," the young security guard replied with a mournful face, shaking his head.

Fei Shen grinned, patted the guard's shoulder, and left, despite the guard's resentful gaze. This guy was too ruthless.

After Fei Shen left, the security guard shook his hand, his wrist covered in bruises. This guy was indeed brutal.

Following Ruoxue Yao, they returned to the company. Even though Fei Shen despised this seemingly clueless woman, he knew he didn't have many options to deal with her for now. After all, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

Ruoxue Yao swayed gracefully into her office and then asked, "By the way, Yao Boss, can I wander around the company when I'm not busy?"

"Are you going to read people's palms again?" Ruoxue Yao sneered.

"That's just a hobby!" Fei Shen chuckled.

"Your designated area is the lounge. If you go beyond that, there will only be one result: a fine!" Ruoxue Yao said bluntly.

"What? Is she trying to drive me crazy?" Fei Shen lamented in his heart.

If he couldn't roam freely, how was he supposed to meet Lianqing Su? How was he going to network?

Fei Shen stared at the ceiling, wearing a pained expression on his face.

As time passed quietly, Ruoxue Yao, who usually focused on her work without distraction, seemed a bit absent-minded this time. Her gaze shifted in Fei Shen's direction at least twenty times.

"Yao Boss, even if you're interested in me, you don't have to sneakily glance at me like this. It's not a big deal; just give me money, and you can look at me frontally, backward, lying down, or even naked. How does that sound?" Fei Shen's voice rang out from afar while Ruoxue Yao lowered her head.

Ruoxue Yao's face turned black as she stood up, walked over to Fei Shen, and said, "Let me make this clear, don't overthink it. I'm just afraid that you, this idiot, will sneak out and cause trouble."

"In that case, why did you glance at me over twenty times?" Fei Shen leaned back in his chair lazily.

"What twenty times?" Ruoxue Yao felt somewhat guilty. It seemed like she had indeed glanced at this bastard many times, but she didn't know the exact count.

"Here they are, all lined up!" Fei Shen made a gesture with his chin, indicating for Ruoxue Yao to look at the desk.

"For every time you looked, I drew a line. In total, there are twenty-three lines, right? Are you really that into me?" Fei Shen grinned.

Ruoxue Yao looked at Fei Shen with a cold smile on her face.

Fei Shen blinked his eyes, finding it unusual that this woman seemed oddly calm. Normally, with the way he was teasing her, he would have expected her to react more strongly.

"Fei Shen, you've damaged company property. I don't think I need to say what comes next, do I?" Ruoxue Yao sneered.

"Fine, a fine?" Fei Shen's confident smile came to an abrupt halt, replaced by a listless expression.

"Three hundred. I won't let you work for nothing today, so I'll round it up for you," Ruoxue Yao said coolly.

"What? Seriously?" Fei Shen rolled his eyes in frustration.

"You can complain all you want. Sooner or later, there will come a day when you can't afford the fines, and you'll beg me!" Fei Shen retorted angrily.

"My dog passed away a few days ago. Would you like to come to the funeral?" Ruoxue Yao blinked her eyes at Fei Shen.

"Damn, this woman is relentless with her comebacks!" Fei Shen looked at Ruoxue Yao, his annoyance clear.

Ruoxue Yao was unfazed by Fei Shen's expression, having gotten used to it over the course of the day. This guy always acted like this after suffering a loss, but once he was promised some benefits, he wouldn't hesitate to approach her.

As the day came to an end, Fei Shen leaped up from his chair and rushed out of the company at lightning speed.

Ruoxue Yao watched in astonishment. This bastard, why was he in such a hurry to leave after work?

Not long after, Fei Shen returned.

"Boss Yao, can I discuss something with you?" Fei Shen touched his empty pockets, chuckling as he spoke.

"What is it?" Ruoxue Yao raised an eyebrow, knowing that Fei Shen only approached her like this when he had ulterior motives.

"Could you lend me a hundred bucks? Consider it a loan because I won't have money for dinner tonight!" Fei Shen said pitifully.

"Aren't you living at Uncle Ouyang's place? Doesn't Uncle Ouyang provide for your meals?" Ruoxue Yao asked.

"In this situation, how can I rely on others? Besides, he already helped me find a job. I can't ask for too much," Fei Shen replied sadly.

Hearing this, Ruoxue Yao nodded lightly. It seemed that this guy was truly a distant relative of Ouyang Cheng. Ruoxue Yao had heard rumors about it, and she could now confirm it. Ouyang Cheng hadn't hired him in his own company out of consideration for old friendships. At Tianxue, Ruoxue Yao didn't need to worry about losing face. Even if something happened, she could handle it.

Without Fei Shen saying much, Ruoxue Yao had already figured it out. She looked at him with a hint of sympathy. After all, in a big city like this, it was impossible to survive without any money.

In fact, apart from his sharp tongue, this guy Fei Shen didn't have any other major flaws. Though he was a bit greedy, it was likely due to his difficult circumstances. Moreover, when it really mattered, he could be relied upon. Even hiring a bodyguard would cost more than this.

At this moment, Ruoxue Yao's perception of Fei Shen had undergone a slight change.

Fei Shen watched as Ruoxue Yao became increasingly anxious. He thought, "Miss Yao, Miss CEO, you spaced out for a moment, and I almost walked away naked!"

"Boss Yao! Did you remember to deduct it from your account?" Fei Shen asked.

"Oh, yes, I'll deduct it for you," Ruoxue Yao replied, her gaze softer than before.

"Is this enough?" After handing over the hundred bucks, Ruoxue Yao asked a question that was unusual for her.

"Yeah, it's enough." Fei Shen took the money and left like a bolt of lightning.

"This guy is actually content," Ruoxue Yao chuckled inwardly.

Little did she know, Fei Shen wasn't content at all. He was in a hurry because he was afraid that if he stayed too long, Ruoxue Yao might change her mind.

Rushing all the way downstairs, he didn't even bother with the elevator. In a matter of seconds, he was on the ground floor. When he reached the parking lot, he saw that Su Lengqing's car had just left.

Fei Shen quickly flagged down a taxi. "Follow the car in front!"

"Okay!" The driver nodded and obeyed.

When the driver turned around, he was taken aback. Why was it this guy again?

Fei Shen saw the driver's surprised expression and couldn't help but grin. It was indeed a small world. He had just scammed this driver out of 60 yuan yesterday, though it was technically Ruoxue Yao's money since she had assigned the expense to him. He hadn't expected to run into this rogue driver again today.
