Jiang Tian, a renowned渣女 (scorned woman/player) in her lifetime with countless boyfriends, was recruited by the Main God after her death to become an invincible host for the Female Lead group.<...
Ye Feiyu had just finished a meeting when he received Jiang Tian's call.
He smiled slightly when he saw the caller's name.
He answered quickly: "Hello?"
Jiang Tian said softly on the other end of the line, "President Ye, are you busy with work?"
Ye Feiyu raised an eyebrow and waved for the secretary who brought him the documents to leave: "I'm not busy right now. Is there anything you need? You can tell me. I'm your boss, and I'll definitely be on your side no matter what."
He could tell from the beginning that Jiang Tian was being very cautious.
He definitely wouldn't have paid any attention to other employees, but Jiang Tian was his carefully selected assistant, so he might as well make an exception for her, after all, he was a good boss.
Jiang Tian's tone was indeed full of gratitude: "It's like this, my mother wanted to call you because she's afraid I've encountered a scam company..."
That's quite a unique request.
When Ye Feiyu was abroad, he would occasionally read the news in China. He remembered that some news reports mentioned that some parents who doted on their children and had a strong desire to control them would not let go of their children even when they were working, and would even accompany them to job interviews.
It seems that Jiang Tian's mother is also that type.
But Jiang Tian wasn't spoiled; she even knew how to cook for him.
Jiang Tian must have gone through a lot of struggles to develop herself into an independent and self-reliant person.
"...Mr. Ye, if this request is too troublesome, then forget it. I will talk to my mother about it."
Hearing that he didn't respond, Jiang Tian's tone remained as cautious as ever.
"No, no, someone just brought me some documents. Is your aunt with you now? I can call her anytime."
Jiang Tian's voice was choked with emotion, and she quickly said, "Yes, I'll give her the phone right away."
Jiang Yuehua took the phone and, as usual, adopted her air of a wealthy lady.
Even if she only has outward appearances but no inner substance, she is still the wife of the Lin family.
This is an indelible fact.
Even when facing strangers, she maintains her composure and dignity.
"Hello, I am Jiang Yuehua, Jiang Tian's mother."
When Jiang Yuehua maintains her composure, her tone unconsciously rises, giving people a sense of arrogance.
Ye Feiyu quickly figured out what kind of person Jiang Yuehua was.
Parents with an extremely strong desire for control and a very high sense of self-esteem are very difficult to deal with.
But it certainly won't stump him.
Ye Feiyu quickly changed to a gentle tone, "Hello, Aunt Jiang, I am Jiang Tian's boss, Ye Feiyu. You can just call me Feiyu."
Jiang Yuehua was slightly surprised.
Ye Feiyu's voice was very pleasant, and his tone when speaking to her was full of humility.
They had never met, but Jiang Yuehua had already developed a slight liking for him—this boss knew proper etiquette and was a decent junior.
"Hello, Jiang Tian has already told me about the job benefits there, but I still have a few questions I need to ask you. Please understand, Jiang Tian is my only daughter, and I can't let her face any danger. So, could you answer a few questions for me?"
Jiang Yuehua's attitude was indeed a bit too assertive.
Most people might think she's crazy, since the boss is the one who pays the employees' salaries, how could she let the parents provoke her?
Ye Feiyu was also a little surprised; Jiang Tian's mother was indeed quite unexpected.
But he quickly smiled and said, "Okay, you can ask me any questions you have. Jiang Tian is an excellent employee, and it's a blessing for our company to have her. I value her abilities and hope she can stay with us for a long time. We will do our best to retain this valuable employee."
A smile had already appeared in Jiang Yuehua's eyes. Who wouldn't want others to praise their child?
The conversation between the two that followed was like a job interview.
Jiang Yuehua has never worked outside the home, so her understanding of work is limited. The questions she asks are very basic, and Ye Feiyu answers them effortlessly.
Jiang Yuehua, on the other hand, was very satisfied, believing that the boss was very sincere.
She was even more surprised when she learned the name of Ye Feiyu's headquarters.
She often saw this company on TV; it's a very well-known company in China, and its owner's capital is said to be all over the world.
Is she talking to the boss?
Jiang Yuehua blushed with excitement.
“This… how could Jiang Tian apply for a job with you? She hasn’t worked in a long time; her husband insists on keeping her at home…”
Ye Feiyu was not surprised that Jiang Yuehua still thought Jiang Tian was with her ex-husband.
It's a good thing not to reveal the news of the divorce to an elder like that, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble she would cause.
However, how long can Jiang Tian keep this a secret?
Sigh, having a mother like that must have been really tough for her.
As her boss, he should show her more kindness and support.
Ye Feiyu thought the conversation was quite boring, but he still dealt with Jiang Yuehua with ease and flattered her: "You are also a great mother. Otherwise, how could you have raised such an outstanding daughter? She has not worked for many years, but she is still able to handle this position. This can only mean that she is an excellent person. Family matters have buried her abilities."
The more Jiang Yuehua thought about it, the more she felt that Ye Feiyu was right.
Jiang Tian was a smart child when she was young, it's impossible that she suddenly became mediocre as she grew up.
With such a capable boss acknowledging Jiang Tian's excellence, it's no wonder she's overjoyed.
Of course, she had a better impression of Ye Feiyu.
The two then chatted about some everyday topics, and Ye Feiyu remained polite, friendly, and gentle throughout.
Jiang Yuehua usually keeps a straight face, but because of this conversation, she couldn't help but smile several times.
Finally, Ye Feiyu said, "When I return to S City, I would like to invite you to dinner. I admire elders like you who have such a good attitude, and I hope you will do me the honor of joining me then."
Normally, Jiang Yuehua would definitely put on airs.
But this time she agreed without hesitation.
Even after hanging up the phone, the smile on Jiang Yuehua's face hadn't faded.
She rarely praised Jiang Tian, saying, "You are my pride, and I believe you will go far."
That evening, she personally cooked Jiang Tian's favorite dishes, and the mother and daughter had a very warm time together.
After Jiang Tian returned to her room, she secretly called Ye Feiyu back.
Ye Feiyu had already guessed that Jiang Tian would call him. When he answered the phone, he smiled and said, "What's up?"
"Mr. Ye, thank you so much this time. My mother hasn't been this happy in a long time."
Jiang Tian's voice trembled slightly, moved by the emotion.
This was exactly the effect Ye Feiyu wanted; otherwise, why would he talk so much to a strange woman?
“Auntie is your mother and also my elder, so of course I have to talk to her properly. Besides, I’m not exaggerating; you are a very outstanding person.”
