Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Pauper Yu Wan

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, the setting sun fell on the horizon, and in the distance you could see large expanses of magnificent clouds rolling. The city, like a steel forest, seemed to have become warm.

Yu Wan got out of the car and bent down to check the scratches on the car.

The boss's car was not cheap, and the repair bill for this collision would definitely be quite high. Although it was not her money, Yu Wan couldn't help but reveal a painful expression on her face.

A luxury car and a van were blocking the road, standing out conspicuously. Not far away, a young man in a polo shirt got out of a car and quickly noticed Yu Wan at the rear of the silver-gray Cayenne.

Seeing who it was, the young man walked over and called out in surprise, "Yu Wan?"

Yu Wan was watching intently. When she heard the voice, she straightened up and saw a familiar face.

Yu Wan searched through her memory and recognized the person.

Gao Shaofan.

She was a classmate in the same major as her in college, or to be more precise, a classmate.

Gao Shaofan's gaze fell on Yu Wan.

Compared to her university days, Yu Wan had changed a lot. Her long black hair was smooth and shiny, fixed behind her head with a clip, revealing her slender neck line. She had a little makeup on her face, her skin was rosy and white, and her eyes were filled with confidence. She looked up and looked at him generously. She was a far cry from the Yu Wan in college who always kept her head down, was quiet and introverted, and had a bookish air. It can be said that she had undergone a complete transformation.

He concealed the astonishment in his eyes and scanned the shabby van behind Yu Wan. A mocking arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he suppressed it calmly.

Gao Shaofan said slowly, "Yu Wan, are you in trouble? Do you need help?"

Maybe it was because she had studied her boss's micro-expressions too much, but Yu Wan could tell what Gao Shaofan was thinking at a glance.

He probably mistook the van for hers, or perhaps it was the car of her company, so he looked at her with such a subtle look.

She didn't explain and politely declined: "No, the car is insured."

Gao Shaofan raised his eyebrows and said unconcernedly, "Yu Wan, you probably don't know the value of this car. Even if it has insurance, how much can it compensate? I have some spare money and I can lend it to you if you need it. By the way, you don't know where I work, right? I work at Yufeng Group. The job is pretty easy. Maybe I can be promoted to supervisor by the end of the year. This little money is not bad."

Yu Wan smiled but said nothing.

Gao Shaofan felt a little embarrassed, his expression darkened for a moment, and then he turned to inquire about Yu Wan's work.

"I haven't asked you yet, Yu Wan, where are you working? If the salary isn't high, I can introduce you to our company. Our company treats ordinary employees well, at least better than your part-time job with your homeroom teacher in college. The monthly allowance was only 600 yuan, and you only worked there for two semesters. I ran into your homeroom teacher a while ago and talked to him about you."

Yu Wan heard the contempt in Gao Shaofan's tone and frowned slightly: "I have a good job now and have no plans to change jobs."

"Okay. Oh, by the way, we college classmates are having a small reunion next month. Do you want to come? We're classmates, so we can keep in touch after graduation. We can always help each other in the future." Gao Shaofan remembered something. "But you left a lot of groups after graduation, and you don't interact much with us old classmates. How about this? Add me on the contact list, and I'll send you the reunion location and time."

Yu Wan still refused: "No, I don't have time."

This time the rejection was even more cold and decisive than the previous two times. It was not only because the weather was too hot and Yu Wan didn't want to stand outside, but also because the university classmate in front of her exuded a condescending sense of superiority, and she didn't want to waste time being the audience who supported the joke.

As expected, after hearing Yu Wan's words, Gao Shaofan's expression changed instantly. He lowered his thick black brows and stared at Yu Wan, saying unhappily, "Yu Wan, you're not still holding a grudge against me for reporting your scholarship, are you?"

Report a scholarship?

Yu Wan suddenly looked up at Gao Shaofan, the sharp and cold emotions in her eyes made Gao Shaofan instinctively feel displeased at being violated.

Sure enough, Yu Wan was angry about this matter.

It was much easier to find out what made Yu Wan angry. Gao Shaofan raised his head, swallowed his anger, and said weakly through gritted teeth, "It's been a long time since that happened. Besides, didn't you get the scholarship in the end? I was just unaware of it. I didn't know you grew up in an orphanage and needed money so much. There's no need for you to still hold a grudge against me."

"Yu Wan, let me tell you the truth, it's not the same as school. There's no need to hold a grudge against everyone because of something that happened in the past. Take you for example now, your monthly salary is probably only 5,000 yuan at most." Gao Shaofan glanced at the van behind her and sneered, "You even take a shabby van when you go out to do things. I thought you were so capable and promising. I invited you to the class reunion because I think highly of you. You should make more connections so that you can get a higher-paying job..."

Yu Wan interrupted him and asked bluntly, "Who do you think you are, judging my life and my decisions? If you loved being a teacher so much, why didn't you stay in school to teach? Was it because of your poor grades? Or was it because your GPA was too low and you didn't have enough credits to graduate?"

"Yu Wan, don't be so ungrateful!"

Gao Shaofan's eyes were wide open, his face twisted with anger. He clenched his fists tightly, and his raised voice was mixed with threats.

At this moment, a staff member in hotel uniform came running over, interrupting the tense atmosphere between the two people.

The staff's attitude towards Yu Wan was truly humble. "Ms. Yu, I'm sorry to have delayed you. The delivery person was careless and hit your car. Don't worry, we will definitely handle it properly. Our hotel will cover the subsequent repair costs for the car, and we will also punish the driver. We will strive to give you a satisfactory answer."

Yu Wan was a little surprised at first, but when she turned her head, she saw Fu Zhiyao.

He was wearing black sunglasses and a standard three-piece suit. He was tall and straight, and he was looking at them through a floor-to-ceiling glass window. There were pillars in the corridor outside the window, so she didn't notice him for a moment. She didn't know how long the boss had been standing there.

The staff member said respectfully: "Ms. Yu, the box has been prepared for you. Let our staff take care of this. The weather is too hot, so let's go upstairs first."

Yu Wan had no intention of getting entangled with this college classmate and nodded to the staff, "Excuse me."

The staff member smiled brightly: "Ms. Yu, you are so polite. You are a distinguished diamond member of our hotel. I am honored to serve you."

Yu Wan: “…”

Gao Shaofan, standing aside, was completely ignored. His face turned pale and blue, and he felt an indescribable sense of humiliation. He never thought that the luxury car was Yu Wan's, but he hated Yu Wan even more for not explaining, making him perform like a clown in front of her.

Seeing Yu Wan pick up a document and leave, he subconsciously took a step to catch up with her.

The staff stopped him and gave him an impeccable smile: "Sir, are you checking in or...?"

Gao Shaofan glanced at Yu Wan walking up the stairs in front of him and raised his voice: "She and I are friends!"

Yu Wan didn't even turn around.

"I don't know him."

After entering the hotel, the cool air hit Yu Wan and her tense shoulders relaxed.

She turned her head to look for Fu Zhiyao and heard a cough in front of her. Yu Wan looked over and saw that the boss had taken off his sunglasses, stood up from the sofa, and walked towards her with his long legs, his leather shoes making light sounds on the marble floor.

"boss."

Yu Wan didn't know whether Fu Zhiyao heard their conversation or not, but judging from the staff's attitude towards her and the way they helped her out, it was obvious that the boss was behind it.

Although the method was a bit old-fashioned, it had to be said that it was the right medicine to deal with Gao Shaofan. It was just that it was the first time that Yu Wan pretended to be a rich woman, and she felt a little guilty.

The two walked towards the elevator.

Yu Wan pursed her lips and said to Fu Zhiyao, "Boss, thank you for what happened just now."

Fu Zhiyao raised an eyebrow. "Is a verbal thank you enough?"

For some reason, when Yu Wan was asked such a question with such confidence by her boss, the annoyance in her heart turned into water and flowed away. Thinking about it this way, she just met an ordinary college classmate who thought he was successful and liked to brag. This was a trivial matter and not worth her getting angry.

She was only concerned about the scholarship report he mentioned, but now was obviously not the time to think about that.

Yu Wan understood and went down the slope.

"Boss, have you eaten yet?"

"No."

Yu Wan said, "Boss, I've delivered the documents. When you're done, if you have time, I'll treat you to a meal."

"uh-huh?"

Yu Wan remembered the restaurant Lai Yanxu had recommended to her last time. The average price per person was around 700 yuan. This month, her bonus was just enough for her to indulge in a little extravagance and treat the boss to a meal.

This is the maximum amount of freedom she can provide to her boss. If it is higher, she will feel bad. After all, making money is not easy.

Yu Wan raised her finger and said mysteriously, "Boss, do you want to guess which restaurant I'm going to treat you to?"

Fu Zhiyao glanced at her. There was cunning and agility in the corners of Yu Wan's eyes and eyebrows, which was completely different from when she stood in front of that man just now. It seemed that the man was not the one who had dinner with her last time.

But compared to this, he was more surprised by the secretary's ability to regulate her emotions. It was no wonder that the Human Resources Department gave her an S-level psychological assessment. He felt inferior to her.

Fu Zhiyao retracted his gaze and raised his handsome eyebrows: "I guess, Binqing."

Binqing is a Japanese restaurant located in the city center that is as high-end as it can be. In addition to its large area and the quaint and exquisite courtyard buildings, its ingredients are freshly air-shipped every day, just to give diners a top-notch culinary experience.

Yu Wan knew about this restaurant because she was brought by her boss to participate in a business negotiation last time and had the opportunity to dine there once.

After eating, he took the boss's card to the front desk to pay the bill. It was the first time for Yu Wan to use a black card, and the excitement was indescribable. But when the staff announced the amount of consumption, Yu Wan's heart sank instantly.

A mediocre Japanese meal cost more than 50,000 yuan!

This means more than 10,000 per capita!

Yu Wan's expression was stiff. He withdrew his fingers awkwardly, and his voice became stammering: "Guess, guess too expensive..."

Fifty thousand for four people, at least twenty thousand for two! Even if Yu Wan's bonus was higher, she couldn't afford to spend it this way. After all, she wasn't the boss, and her earnings weren't measured in seconds, so she had to be frugal.

A low laugh escaped from Fu Zhiyao's throat, the rich tone stirring his heartstrings, "Pauper Yu Wan."

Yu Wan: “…”

It was clearly a teasing tone, clearly calling her a pauper, but it made her feel uncomfortable. It was like someone was tickling her ears with a light feather, making her feel itchy.

She glanced at Fu Zhiyao, and while he wasn't paying attention, she raised her hand and rubbed her ears to relieve the pain.

It is not good for the boss to speak too nicely, as it will easily distract his subordinates.
