On the azure sea, the yacht maintained a cruising speed. Looking around, there was no sign of people or even a single boat.

Even if there is, it's just a tiny bit.

Fu Yingzi sat in the cockpit, listening to the sounds below, feeling itchy in her heart.

"Hey, I work for my boss, and the salary and benefits are impeccable. I'm only 22, and I earn 50,000 yuan a month, and I have a 500,000 yuan car. My boss occasionally gives me some benefits and bonuses when he's in a good mood. This is already ahead of 99.9% of my peers, so I really shouldn't complain too much."

"If I have to point out any flaws, it's that I'm constantly harassed by my boss, and occasionally have to deal with these images and sounds. Fortunately, it's not frequent, but I wonder if long-term exposure to these things will affect my physical health."

Thinking of this, Fu Yingzi subconsciously looked at Tan Xin with a cold and expressionless expression, like a robot.

Maybe it's because of her aloof personality, she didn't react at all when she heard these voices. A hint of envy flashed in Fu Yingzi's eyes.

It’s good to be frigid, so you don’t have to feel uncomfortable.

It’s really hard for me, I have to hold it in for two or three days.

Fu Yingzi sighed softly.

In fact, that was Tan Xin's expression. She was a little annoyed with Fu Yingzi. She was too embarrassed to peek at her when Fu Yingzi was present.

Oh, the mahjong game, missed it, missed it. Tan Xin also sighed in his heart.

At this time, Fu Yingzi's cell phone rang. She picked it up and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.

After a few seconds of pause, he picked up the phone and answered it in a neutral voice: "Hello."

"Sakurako, you're not busy, are you?"

However, the person on the phone didn't care about Fu Yingzi's tone and got straight to the point: "How are you doing with the thing I asked you to do last time? Your brother has been at home for four months, so it's time for him to find a job. Your brother doesn't have high expectations and doesn't expect to earn as much as you do. Just give him 10,000 yuan a month. If he does a good job later, you can help him raise his salary."

Hearing these words, Fu Yingzi frowned and said, "Mom, I've told you many times that our company's minimum educational requirement is a bachelor's degree. He can't join our company with just a high school diploma."

"I know that."

The woman raised her voice a little. "That's when we don't have any connections, but our situation is different. If you can talk to your boss and open a backdoor, he'll definitely agree. We're family, so we shouldn't talk back. He's your brother, we grew up together, so you definitely have to help him."

Fu Yingzi couldn't hide the fatigue on her face. Her parents had told her about this several times, but they didn't consider her situation at all.

The company is not hers, so if she wants to recruit a high school graduate, she can just recruit a high school graduate.

Moreover, my younger brother not only graduated from high school, but also has no work experience at all. He has been living at home and waiting to die for several months. How can such a person get the job done well?

He also said he wanted a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, and it would be good enough to find a job with a monthly salary of 4,000 or 5,000 yuan.

It is true that they are a family, but the actual situation must also be considered. She did not agree to let her brother enter Jingfu, but she also helped him find a few jobs, including one that paid 6,000 a month, which was not an easy job, but her brother said he would not go if the salary was less than 10,000.

Moreover, her parents said that they needed to renovate the house soon and asked her to send 200,000 yuan back.

I just had a simple renovation of my house two years ago, so why am I doing any renovation now?

"Mom, I didn't say I wouldn't help. The job I found him last time was pretty good, wasn't it? It's already great for someone who just graduated from high school to find a job that pays 6,000 a month. After working for a year or six months and gaining experience and skills, it won't be too late to come to our company."

The voice on the other end of the line rose even higher upon hearing this: "You make tens of thousands a month, and you let your brother make 6,000? Look at what you're saying, is that even human? You're my daughter, and I taught you to take care of your brother and respect your parents. And this is how you take care of your brother and respect your parents?"

The person on the other end of the phone became more and more excited: "Also, you didn't even bring back the money for the renovations, and you only send back 3,000 every month. You spend so much money on eating and drinking lavishly outside every month, and you don't care about your family's life or death, right?"

"If it's like this before you get married, what will it be like after you get married?"

"I don't care about you! We must make arrangements for your brother. If you don't, we will come to Star City to find you!"

The tone of voice became higher and higher, and the words became more and more unpleasant. At this time, a boy's voice rang out on the phone: "Mom, if she doesn't want to help, then forget it. She seems so capable. I can still do well without her."

Hearing these accusations, Fu Yingzi felt a little stuffy in her chest. She hung up the phone silently and pressed the power off button.

Am I really the unfilial daughter they say I am?

If her family was in urgent need of money, she would definitely send the money back without hesitation, but she knew very well that her parents wanted to save the 200,000 yuan to buy a house for her younger brother and prepare for his future marriage.

Even so, she chose to send 3,000 yuan back home every month. In a small town, 3,000 yuan was enough for a family of three to work, not to mention that her parents both had jobs and were not old enough to need her to support them.

She is not a person who spends money lavishly. In addition, due to her childhood experiences, she has been frugal over the years. Even though she is now considered a high-income group by many people, she still maintains her previous habits. If she sees a DIOR necklace that costs more than 2,000 yuan, she will hesitate for two months before buying it.

The car was given to me by my boss. I don’t want to fill up the gas tank, so I choose an electric car for most of my travels. The house is rented, a single room, for 900 yuan a month.

Including rent, her monthly living expenses are only 3,000 yuan. How can she afford to live a luxurious life?

I thought I could escape from my original family by going to college, but I didn't expect that I underestimated them.

Am I not their daughter? Is the purpose of my life just to be their slave?

Fu Yingzi exhaled a breath of foul air, her eyes unconsciously began to moisten, and tears slid down her cheeks like unstoppable rain.

Tan Xin heard the volume of the call just now very clearly. Then he saw Fu Yingzi crying silently. He didn't know how to deal with it. He just silently took out two tissues and handed them to Fu Yingzi.

Fu Yingzi took the tissue and thanked him while sobbing.

Tan Xin thought for a moment and said, "You can ask the boss for help with this kind of thing."

Fu Yingzi shook her head. No matter how powerful her boss was, she couldn't handle this as it was her family affair.

Moreover, she and her boss have a superior-subordinate relationship, so how could she ask her boss for help with such matters?

At this time, the commotion below ended. Fu Yingzi wiped away her tears and silently stood up to clean up the mess.

The three girls had just put on their bikinis and their skin was flushed. Except for Liu Menglu, Long Jinghan and Qiao Lei, their movements and expressions were a little unnatural, and they deliberately avoided Fu Yingzi's gaze.

In fact, Fu Yingzi did not look down on him at all. Instead, she felt a little envious.

Without the influence of the original family and with the protection of the boss, you can enjoy life to the fullest.

Looking at the satisfaction on their faces, you can tell that they are very happy.

Unfortunately, I am not you.

At noon, Ji Ya cooked a few dishes and fried beef and chicken chops. It was a mix of Chinese and Western food with champagne, but Shen Yuan didn't care about that.

Except for Tan Xin who was going to drive the yacht, everyone else drank a little. Even Fu Yingzi drank half a cup. Her cheeks were rosy and her head was dizzy. When she looked at people later, she saw double.

"Sakura, have you ever drunk alcohol before?"

Shen Yuan was a little puzzled. This was just the beginning.

"The second time."

Fu Yingzi raised two fingers: "The first time I drank half a glass of beer, the second time is this time."

"This champagne is 13% alcohol, which is definitely higher than the beer you drink."

"Yeah, I know. I'm a little sleepy, boss. Can I go to bed?"

"Go ahead."

Shen Yuan gave Long Jinghan a look.

Long Jinghan was about to stand up, but Fu Yingzi held out her hand and said, "No need to help me, I'm OK."

Having said that, Long Jinghan still followed Fu Yingzi into the bedroom. After she took off her shoes and covered herself with the quilt, she quietly returned to the restaurant.

"Why do I feel like there's something wrong with Sakurako?"

Shen Yuan could tell that Fu Yingzi had been in a bad mood since noon. Although she was not usually a chatterbox, she would at least liven up the atmosphere or show some support. She didn't say much during the meal today.

And although she doesn't drink, she still drank half a glass of champagne silently.

"Sakurako-senpai is in a bad mood, maybe it's related to something at home."

Long Jinghan knew some things about Fu Yingzi's original family. When she was at the radio station, Fu Yingzi was often made to cry by her parents on the phone.

Tan Xin took over the topic: "It's indeed a family matter. Her parents just called."

She didn't say what happened on the phone; that wasn't what she should have said.

"What exactly happened?" Shen Yuan looked at Long Jinghan.

Long Jinghan recounted everything she knew, and Qiao Lei and Liu Menglu were both indignant. "How could there be such parents? Are they still parents? They're vampires!"

"And there's this blood-sucking brother who only has a high school diploma and no work experience, and he wants to get a salary of 10,000 yuan a month. What the hell is he thinking?"

"You're such a loser, yet you're forcing your own sister? I'll cut off all ties with a brother like that on the spot!"

"This family doesn't look like human beings. How could they treat their own daughter and sister like this?"

"I really can't tell. Sister Yingzi is usually a very lively girl. I didn't expect she has such a family."

Everyone expressed their indignation and sympathy. Shen Yuan said nothing, thinking that how to deal with this matter depends on her. After all, no matter what, they are her family.

Qiao Lei suggested, "Senior, Sister Yingzi is your secretary after all, so you have to take care of this matter, right?"

Liu Menglu complained in her heart that Qiao Lei was still so big-breasted and brainless, and her questions were nonsense. The relationship between Shen Yuan and Fu Yingzi was definitely better than hers. She was his secretary, how could he ignore it?

Shen Yuan smiled and said, "We can certainly take care of it, but whether or not to do so depends on Fu Yingzi herself. Let's all enjoy our trip to Sanya first, and then we can discuss this matter when we get back."

After lunch, Ji Ya and Long Jinghan cleaned up the table, Qiao Lei and Liu Menglu went back to their respective rooms for a nap, Tan Xin went to the cockpit, and Shen Yuan silently came to Fu Yingzi's room.

Fu Yingzi was sleeping soundly, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about things at home even in her dream.

Shen Yuan first helped her draw the curtains, then silently came to sit beside the bed. Fu Yingzi, who was sleeping soundly, had a blush on her face and her slender neck was white and delicate.

He helped Fu Yingzi pull the quilt and was about to get up when he suddenly heard a murmur.

The sound was too soft to be heard clearly, so Shen Yuan put his ear closer.

"Boss, I didn't sleep."

Not slept?

Shen Yuan raised his head and saw Fu Yingzi looking at him with her watery eyes.

"You're not asleep yet, why are you pretending?"

Fu Yingzi is feeling much better now, and she reveals a lovely smile: "Hehe, I woke up as soon as you came in just now. I'm a light sleeper, and I'll wake up when I hear some external noises."

"Then I'm going to leave. You can go back to sleep. Don't drink next time. You have the nerve to drink with such a low alcohol tolerance."

Fu Yingzi blinked: "I know, I won't drink it next time, thank you, boss."

"Why are you thanking me? If you hadn't woken up, I would have slept with you. Have you heard of this series, 'My boss got me drunk on a business trip and forced me to get a hotel room'?"

"I've heard of it."

Fu Yingzi shrank back: "But I know I'm not interested in you, I'm safe."

Safety?

Shen Yuan looked at her charming face, and thought of her hips, slender waist, and long thighs, and thought that this woman probably didn't know where her charm lay.

However, at this time, he discovered that Fu Yingzi's favorability towards him was increasing. It was originally 68 points, but now it has become 70 points.

Maybe it was because I had just helped her draw the curtains and cover her with the quilt, and also because drunk people are a little sentimental.

"If, I mean if, what if I'm interested in you."

Shen Yuan stretched out his left hand and gently placed it on Fu Yingzi's cheek. Before she could dodge, she felt an icy cold palm on her hot face.

"Boss, please don't scare me. I always thought I was in a safe area."

"Then if the boss is interested in you, are you willing to devote yourself to the work?" Shen Yuan asked.

Fu Yingzi quickly shook her head, and only then realized that Shen Yuan's eyes were a little hot, and another hand came out of nowhere under the quilt and held her hand.

It’s over, the boss has taken a fancy to me.

Fu Yingzi was a little overwhelmed for a moment, not knowing whether to refuse or not.

That’s not right. I’m right about A. What does the boss like about me?

"Boss, you are not kidding me." Fu Yingzi still found it hard to believe.

"Yes, I was kidding you. Never mind. I won't tease you anymore."

"call."

Fu Yingzi breathed a sigh of relief, but then she felt a strong sense of loss. She was not among her boss's favorites, which meant that she really had no charm.

She had to admit that she actually had some feelings for her boss.

After a busy day at work, when it’s late at night and everyone is asleep, I always think of my boss’s bad face.

But she knew it was impossible. Even if the boss really had some feelings for her, she couldn't get over it. She could just be entangled in this kind of family death and not drag her boss to suffer with her.

Fu Yingzi sometimes thought about being single for the rest of her life.

However, although the boss said he would not tease her anymore, he did not mean to let go of his hand. Fu Yingzi asked blankly, "Boss, what else?"

"I have a general idea of ​​your family situation. Do you want to tell me about it?"

"You know everything."

"Well, if you want to talk, I can be a listening ear."

Fu Yingzi shook her head: "You don't want to hear these things, it will affect your mood for traveling."

"If you don't want to say it, then I'll comfort you in another way."

Fu Yingzi's eyes widened in surprise as she watched Shen Yuan's lips approach her. Then her lips felt warmth, and then the right hand wrapped around her waist.

Fu Yingzi's body tensed up, her mind went blank: "Uh, um, boss, you said you were joking with me." (End of this chapter)
