Chapter 586: Handle official business impartially
As expected, Ji Chuan didn't let her continue. He took the cutlery and started eating.
Xu Hui swallowed silently a few times. She wanted to go home and buy some wontons at the night market at the entrance of the alley.
Seeing that he was eating with great enthusiasm, she couldn't help but ask, "You haven't told me yet, what do you want me to do to repay you?"
He paused, looked up at her, and instead of answering, asked, "How did you break up with Sui Zhongyuan? Didn't you save his life? How did you get him out of the car?"
Xu Hui blinked, his mind turning slightly, and replied: "He said you got him drunk. I told him at first that I had a grudge against you and that's why I didn't want to get close to you. He thought you got him drunk because of me."
She didn't mention Sui Zhongyuan's disgusting guesses. Saying those words would only embarrass herself.
His face darkened slightly, but he said nothing.
Xu Hui then asked, "Why did you force him to drink? Has he offended you before?"
He glanced at her and asked, "Why don't you come closer to me? You're working normally, you haven't stolen or robbed, and you haven't disturbed social order. What's there to be ashamed of?"
These words sounded so familiar. Xu Hui felt a stab in his chest and a mouthful of blood came out from the boomerang.
Her cheeks flushed, and she replied awkwardly, "I'm fine. The main thing is that if I really approached you, wouldn't you have to pretend you don't know me and cooperate with me?"
"Why should I cooperate with you? Will you share the money you earn with me?"
She didn't expect that he would deliberately make things difficult for her at this point.
She forced a smile and said, "You're a lawyer, do you still care about this little performance fee?"
He put the spoon in his hand on the table and said casually, "You've been busy all night, but in the end, it's all for nothing, right?
Xu Hui curled his lips. "5,000 yuan. I forced him to transfer it to me without missing a cent. Do you think I've been working all these years for nothing?"
She sat on the sofa, her two slender legs exposed and clearly crossed, her cheeks still red and swollen, but there was a glint of light in her eyes.
He didn't know whether he was attracted by those long legs or the light in her eyes, but he averted his gaze without leaving a trace.
In order to earn these 5,000 yuan, she almost died in Jiang Shida's car, and she still had the nerve to be proud.
He was furious, but he didn't open his mouth to poke at her wound.
Seeing that he had stopped eating, but there was still a table full of delicious food, Xu Hui swallowed her saliva again and asked again, "You haven't told me yet, what exactly do you want me to do?"
He brought her home, not to sleep with her, but because he really had something to tell her.
He leaned back on the sofa and asked her calmly, "Do you still want to continue doing this business?"
Xu Hui heard the hidden meaning in his words: "Just say it directly."
He leaned forward, looked at her calmly and asked, "How much do you earn a month now?"
Xu Hui didn't expect him to ask so directly. She simply lost face and said truthfully: "It's hard to say. When the market is good, it's easy to make hundreds of thousands. When the market is bad, it might be difficult to make even 10,000 or 20,000. It's hard to say."
"Come to my place, you'll earn a fixed salary of 50,000 per month. When you have nothing to do, you can work as a receptionist. When you have social events, you can come with me anytime. This saves you the trouble of going around soliciting business."
His tone was flat and businesslike.
Xu Hui turned his words over in her head twice. After a moment of silence, she looked at him with a faint smile and asked, "What do you mean? Pity me?"
He was so nice to her for no reason. If she hadn't just heard him deny that he wanted to sleep with her, she would have been unable to help but have wild thoughts.
If that wasn't the case, then there could only be one reason: he felt sorry for her. As a lawyer, didn't he have more empathy than the average person? Did he understand her plight of raising a family alone, and so he wanted to help her?
Without waiting for his reply, she continued, "There aren't many good people like you. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, but I don't have to beg for food from you. My job is quite dangerous, high risk and high reward. I've been doing this for so many years, I'm pretty good at it. Accidents like today's are rare. Every failure makes me wiser. I will be more cautious in the future."
