Chapter 1050: Turning Waste into Treasure 2
Shi Youxuan: "That is one reason, but not the whole of it. I want you to stay far away from my parents-in-law, but there is no need to spend such a large sum. I will give you five million every month; naturally, you are worth this price... Zhu Qingrui is in A Country."
Wang Yingzhi understood everything now. So, asking her to go to A Country to accompany Shi Ran was a lie; being sent to the front to continue fighting with the two Zhu brothers was the truth!
"No, no, no."
She immediately went back on her word, shaking her head like a rattle-drum in opposition: "I'm not going, it's too dangerous, not going, not going, not going."
Don't look at how readily she agreed last time; that was because Zhu Qingxiang was in Prison, and she was merely playing the role of a grandmother, which carried no danger at all.
Furthermore, the location was Jiangzhou, and Jiangzhou is the safest place in the world!
But now it is different.
Now it is about going to A Country, a place where she is a stranger on someone else's turf; the danger coefficient is too high, and there are too many uncertain factors.
Moreover, she has seen for herself how cunning the Zhu brothers are. They must hate her to the bone. Sending herself to their doorstep at a time like this would be courting disaster; this is something she cannot do!
"Fine, whether you go or not is your freedom. If you don't want to go, I cannot force you."
Before Wang Yingzhi could be happy, one sentence from Shi Youxuan cast her into the abyss: "My Lüshi will be here in a moment; you two can talk. I am leaving."
She stood up, making a move to leave, but her arm was grabbed by Wang Yingzhi.
Wang Yingzhi was nervous: "What is the Lüshi coming for? Don't let him come. We aren't familiar, there's nothing to talk about."
Shi Youxuan: "It's fine, you'll be familiar after talking. We'll mainly talk about your affairs, and discuss whether borrowing money in the residential complex and not paying it back counts as fraud? How many years can you be sentenced for a huge amount?"
"You can't do this... why do you all use this tactic..."
"Wang Yinghao is my younger sister, not an outsider..."
"So what if she isn't an outsider? Just because she is your sister, you can bully her as you please? Then you are her older sister too; can she ask you for a few million, is that okay?"
Wang Yingzhi wore a mournful face: "It's not that I don't have it; if I had it, I would give it."
Shi Youxuan retorted again: "What did you do when you had it? If you've forgotten, I can remind you. Don't forget why you went to Prison in the first place. Alright, I don't have time to waste words with you. I have to go meet the candidates for A Country this afternoon."
She shook off Wang Yingzhi's hand, inadvertently revealing—you are not the only option.
If there is no you, there are others.
Wang Yingzhi did not speak; she was hesitating, considering.
The moment Shi Youxuan walked to the door and her hand pressed the handle, she finally made up her mind and called out to stop Shi Youxuan: "Wait, I agree."
Shi Youxuan did not return immediately, but said very calmly: "This kind of matter relies on mutual willingness. No one should force anyone, and of course, don't force yourself. You should consider it more; when you have considered it well, come find me at home."
After finishing, she pulled the door open and left without looking back.
Sheng Family.
Shi Youxuan handed her parents-in-law two tickets for a stage play: "Mom, you and Dad should eat out at noon. I've booked a spot at Marie Restaurant; you two should go out and enjoy some time as a couple."
"After eating, go watch the stage play, then go for a walk in the park. No need to rush back."
Wang Yinghao took the tickets and smiled: "I'll go watch the stage play, but we'll eat lunch at home. It's all prepared, we'll be eating soon."
Shi Youxuan used only one sentence to make her mother-in-law change her mind.
She said: "Your older sister will be coming in a moment."
"I'm going."
Wang Yinghao did not hesitate this time; she grabbed her coat and left, even forgetting her bag. Her husband thought to help her take the bag, and incidentally gave his daughter-in-law a thumbs up!
When Wang Yingzhi walked into the residential complex, she felt something was wrong.
Many people were all walking in the direction of the Sheng Family.
They were all women, some alone, some in groups of three or five.
But without exception, their faces carried expressions of excitement, the kind of look as if they were going to pick up money!
She didn't need to ask; she heard it from the people's words and her guess was correct.
These people were all going to the Sheng Family for an interview.
"An annual salary of one million, and they even pay for the five social insurances and one housing fund. No degree required; such a good thing is hard to find even with a lantern." The woman speaking looked full of longing.
Another woman sneered: "Hmph! Look at yourself, what kind of person are you? You think an annual salary of one million is that easy to earn? There might be danger outside; don't have the life to earn it but not the life to spend it."
"How dangerous could it be? The young lady has bodyguards by her side. I'm going to argue; I just need to protect the young lady from being bullied. If there's danger, the bodyguards will naturally rush to the front. I think you're just fear-mongering, wanting to scare everyone else away so you can go yourself."
"Exactly, as if her little petty mind isn't obvious to others..."
Wang Yingzhi walked the whole way, and all she heard was this.
Her heart, which had been a bit hesitant, now became incomparably firm!
Shi Youxuan really hadn't lied to her; there were indeed many people competing for this opportunity.
These people were almost fighting over an annual salary of one million. If they knew the salary Shi Youxuan offered her was five million a month, would they have the heart to strangle her?
Wang Yingzhi, carrying a deep sense of superiority, prepared to step into the Sheng Family gate, but was stopped by a bodyguard: "What are you doing? Didn't you see everyone else is queuing? Go queue at the back, no cutting in line."
Wang Yingzhi pointed at her own nose and shouted loudly: "Are you blind? Don't you recognize who I am? I am a distinguished guest specially invited by your Madam. I'll give you a chance to go report this; offending me is no big deal, but if you delay your Madam's important business, just wait to be fired."
The two bodyguards looked at each other, then one of them went in to report.
Very quickly, the person came out: "Madam invites you in."
The attitude changed drastically in less than a minute.
Wang Yingzhi felt very satisfied with this attitude; she walked into the Sheng Family gate with her head held high, amidst many envious gazes.
Shi Youxuan was drinking bird's nest; seeing her arrive, she asked Fang Jie to serve her a bowl as well.
Top-quality Blood Bird's Nest, very nourishing.
"Decided then? You'd better not force yourself; once the arrow is fired, there is no turning back. Once you are in A Country, you won't be able to go back on your word."
"I won't go back on it, we can sign a contract."
Wang Yingzhi: "But I have a doubt; you have to tell me why?"
"Ask."
Shi Youxuan calmly finished the last mouthful of bird's nest in her bowl, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and waited with full attention for her to ask.
"These people weren't hired by you to put on a show for me, were they?" She asked the question weighing on her mind, having already guessed the truth.
"Pfft!"
Shi Youxuan sneered: "You really think too highly of yourself. What makes you think you have the ability to make me go to such great lengths for you?"
"That's right, I do have that ability, but my ability will certainly be used on my children. I would exhaust all my power for them, though you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
"You've never given birth to a child, never raised a child yourself, so how could you possibly understand the hardships of being a mother?"
Wang Yingzhi still didn't believe it and asked another question: "Then why do they have an annual salary of one million, while I get a monthly salary of five million?"
Shi Youxuan: "Of course it's because you are thick-skinned, have no bottom line, and have many tricks for tormenting people. Otherwise, what reason would I have to give you so much money? It's precisely because you can make people's teeth itch with hatred..."
