Chapter 1732
Zhou Andong hadn't spoken the whole time, just listening quietly.
Because at this moment, he could only be a listener.
Liao Ting took a sip of water, then held the cup with both hands and placed it on her lap.
"Perhaps heaven doesn't cut off all paths, because the girl's mother called her, but no one answered, so she came over to look.
Her mother didn't knock the door open but called the police. When the police opened the door, they were also shocked. Her mother hugged the girl like a madwoman, crying and asking what was going on and what had happened.
From the day the girl could remember, the impression her mother gave her was that of an intellectual and elegant woman, whose speech was always gentle; even if she did something wrong, she would reason with her in a soft voice.
But now, because she had been harmed, her mother was like a madwoman. Only at this moment did the girl understand that in this world, the only people who truly loved her were her parents.
She regretted it; it wasn't that she regretted marrying that man, but that she regretted pretending to be happy in front of her parents and not telling them the truth.
Although the girl's parents were just ordinary intellectuals, if she had told her parents early on, the situation would definitely have been different, and it certainly wouldn't have evolved to this degree."
As she spoke, Liao Ting looked up slightly at Zhou Andong, a smile appearing on her face.
The expression on her face had always been calm, and her tone was indifferent, as if she were really telling someone else's story.
"The girl was sent to the hospital, and immediately after, the man was summoned, and then it was reported that he had been criminally detained. But the girl knew that the investigation results would come out soon.
It would still be like the previous few times: she had fallen and gotten injured. As for her being tied up, those few police officers who responded to the call would definitely choose to keep their mouths shut.
Avoiding harm is a natural human reaction; moreover, they were just ordinary police officers and couldn't possibly go against their superiors for a woman who had nothing to do with them.
And when the man came out, he would definitely continue to harass her. Especially the girl's father, who had never lost his temper in his life, was going to buy a kitchen knife to kill the man after learning of the harm his daughter had suffered.
Whether for herself or her parents, the girl made a decision that night: leave Shanghai and disappear from the man's sight forever, so he would never find her for the rest of his life.
That night, the girl took advantage of her mother being fast asleep, left a letter for her mother, and then left alone, covered in injuries, taking a train to Guangzhou that night.
After arriving in Guangzhou, fearing her parents would worry, she called home, and then she rented an apartment in Guangzhou, found a job after her injuries healed.
But she was still worried, because the man's background was too powerful, and his brother was in the Public Security Bureau; she called home every week, and as long as the man had the heart, he would definitely be able to find her.
Just at this time, the girl met a small-time hoodlum, and then that hoodlum opened a nightclub in Dongguan and invited the girl to serve as the nightclub's general manager.
The girl agreed after much consideration; she knew her ex-husband, whom she hadn't divorced yet, very well—he definitely wouldn't let her go and must be trying every possible way to find her.
Because of her background and her upbringing, that man would absolutely never think she would hide in a nightclub. So she came to Dongguan and became the general manager of that nightclub."
Liao Ting took a deep breath: "You should have guessed who that girl is by now."
Zhou Andong pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and looked at Liao Ting.
This was her unbearable past, and also the scar in her heart that could never be erased.
Now this woman had peeled open her heart without reservation and told her most unbearable privacy; he knew clearly what it was for.
"Are you afraid that following me will bring me trouble?"
"Yes!" Liao Ting nodded: "I don't want to work in a nightclub for the rest of my life and live in the darkness forever, but I don't want to bring you trouble even more. So, I must confess everything to you."
Zhou Andong laughed heartily: "I'm a relatively lazy person, and I really am afraid of trouble. But if anyone wants to cause me trouble, I will definitely make them have trouble."
Liao Ting blinked her charming eyes and looked at Zhou Andong: "And then?"
Zhou Andong was again made restless by this woman, hurriedly guarded his heart, stood up, and reached out his hand.
"Ms. Liao Ting, welcome to the Yugong Group. From now on, you are the Vice President of the Yugong Group."
He gave Liao Ting such a position not on a whim, and certainly not because he was bewitched by this female demon, but because he believed in his own judgment of people.
Of course, Zhou Andong would arrange a task for her; if she could complete it well, this position of Vice President would naturally be secure, and if she couldn't complete it, that would be another matter.
There was no joy on Liao Ting's face; looking at Zhou Andong's outstretched hand, she said very calmly.
"Chairman Zhou, are you serious?"
"Of course!" Zhou Andong's expression also became serious: "I am now inviting you to serve as the Vice President of the Yugong Group; tomorrow I will have the group fax over the January contract."
Liao Ting stood up and shook hands with Zhou Andong very solemnly: "Thank you for your trust, Chairman Zhou, and thank you for your understanding, Chairman Zhou. I will definitely not let you down."
Zhou Andong asked: "Aren't you going to ask me what conditions I can offer?"
Liao Ting shook her head: "If I can rise to this job, Chairman Zhou definitely won't treat me unfairly. If I can't rise to it, promising more now is useless."
Zhou Andong laughed: "An annual salary of 50,000; this is the average standard for the group's senior management, not high but not low. Additionally, there will be stock incentives, but you have to work for the group for five years before they can be unfrozen."
Liao Ting was stunned; she had confidence in serving as the Vice President of the Yugong Group, but what she didn't expect was that the Yugong Group's salary would be so high, high to the point that it was unimaginable to her.
You have to know, her parents were professors at Shanghai universities, and their monthly salary wasn't even 800, and that was only after it had been raised in the last two years.
Her annual salary was comparable to what her parents earned in two and a half years. Moreover, there were stock incentives; although she didn't know how much, it would definitely be much more than the salary.
"Happy cooperation." Liao Ting shook hands with Zhou Andong again.
"Happy cooperation." Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Don't just stand there, sit down and chat."
"I'll go to the restroom first." Liao Ting blinked her charming eyes: "Before I came, I drank three bottles of Jiang Xiaomei; it was very good."
After saying this, the woman gave Zhou Andong a sweet smile, turned around, and entered the restroom.
At this moment, the room door was knocked, and Zhou Andong shouted: "Come in!"
Wang Wentian pushed the door and entered; he glanced around and didn't see Liao Ting, then said in a low voice.
"Chairman, that little girl has come."
Zhou Andong was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted: "Let her in."
"Alright!"
Wang Wentian turned and went out, and immediately after, the girl entered, looking somewhat nervous.
But when she saw Zhou Andong, her nervous mood vanished instantly.
Before Zhou Andong could speak, the girl suddenly lifted her clothes and took them off.
The words on the tip of his tongue were scared back by the girl's sudden action.
Just as the girl was about to untie her belt and prepare to take off her shorts, Liao Ting came out of the restroom.
Zhou Andong covered his face and groaned inwardly: Damn it, now I can't explain myself even if I have a mouth all over my body.
