Fu Yunchen sighed inwardly. This woman was indeed capable of causing quite a commotion if you weren't careful. You really couldn't afford to be careless for even a moment.
He withdrew his hand, his calm voice sounding completely unwavering, yet filled with a chilling sense of threat.
"Remember this, this is the last time. Otherwise, you won't be able to run anywhere."
Yi Tianran felt a chill run down her spine and stiffly forced a smile: "Why are you saying this out of the blue? I won't run away. You're overthinking it."
Fu Yunchen glanced at her expressionlessly: "That was for the best."
The happiest people upon returning to the Fu family were Geng Geng and Huai Huai, who had thought they wouldn't see their beloved mother for a long time.
Unexpectedly, in just a short while, Mommy not only returned, but also said she wouldn't leave again, which made the two brothers extremely excited.
Geng Geng even found the little furball more pleasing to the eye.
The little furball looked at Yi Tianran: "Mommy, are you really not going to walk anymore?"
Yi Tianran nodded: "Yes, something has changed."
He sighed, "Mommy, you've changed too much. If you want to run away again next time, you don't need to take me with you anymore."
Yi Tianran raised an eyebrow: "Why?"
The little furball pouted: "This time we were lucky, but next time it might be different. Today was really too dangerous."
"Mommy, I'm only five years old, I'm still a baby. If Mommy wants to trick her own son, I can't stop her. I can only take precautions myself and not let Mommy trick me again."
Yi Tianran: "..."
Inside the room, Yi Tianran stared thoughtfully at the computer screen, which still displayed that incomprehensible, ancient-looking relief photograph.
Her teacher, Donald, has been missing for several years, and Yi Tianran's skills were taught by Donald.
Donald was a good friend of her mother's. After her mother's divorce, he often helped her take care of Yi Tianran. For a while, Yi Tianran even thought he would become her stepfather, until she learned about Donald's story and that thought was resolved.
This man played a very important role in her upbringing; he was a very gentle person.
As far as I can remember, Donald never lost his temper. No matter what she did or what mistake she made, he was always very patient and gentle.
For her, Donald was both a mentor and a father figure.
Although Yi Tianran has a biological father, she has never regarded the head of the Yi family as her father. In her mind, the image of her father is more like her teacher, Donald.
Therefore, Yi Tianran kept the teacher's mysterious disappearance in her heart, determined to find him.
But now that she's finally found this clue, how can she learn more from Fu Yunchen?
Inside the study.
Fu Yunchen was reading a book when a pretty head slowly and furtively peeked in.
He paused, then said, "Come in."
Yi Tianran smiled and sidled in to sit opposite him: "Um, I wanted to talk to you about something."
Fu Yunchen raised an eyebrow with some interest. It was quite unusual that this woman would use the word "discuss."
She coughed lightly: "It's like this, as you know, I'm a hardworking, positive, self-reliant person who values independence..."
"Get to the point," Fu Yunchen interrupted her long-winded self-praise.
"Do you need any more subordinates?" Yi Tianran asked immediately.
Fu Yunchen narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"
"The literal meaning." Yi Tianran slowly revealed a mysterious smile: "Is it possible? To work under you."
“No.” Fu Yunchen refused without hesitation.
Yi Tianran, whose attempt had not yet succeeded, pouted: "Why don't you think about it again? I haven't even started selling myself yet and you've already rejected me. That's so disrespectful."
Fu Yunchen glanced at her with amusement, leaned back, and shrugged, indicating that she should begin.
Yi Tianran perked up, coughed lightly, and began in a serious manner.
"Although I am exceptionally capable and outstanding, I am the type to recommend myself, so I will appropriately lower my requirements and salary."
"Three meals a day and accommodation are provided. Salary is flexible. Holidays are not important. Overtime pay is up to you."
"Of course, you can set a trial period, for as long as you like. There's just one thing: if you're dissatisfied with anything during this period, we'll cover all repairs and modifications, as long as you don't want a refund or exchange."
Fu Yunchen: "..."
As Yi Tianran spoke, she felt that she was an absolutely unique and outstanding employee, and looked at him with anticipation.
"How about it? Tempted? If you're tempted, act now! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Where else can you find such a good deal?"
Fu Yunchen looked at Yi Tianran with a leisurely air, and said with a half-smile, "Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of ulterior motives or theft."
Yi Tianran immediately retorted: "How could that be? It's genuine, fair to all, and there's after-sales service and a three-guarantee policy."
He scoffed, "What's the point of packing so many bags if you can't return or exchange them?"
Yi Tianran frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "I've already asked for so little, how can you have the nerve to return or exchange it? Capitalists really are all bloodsuckers."
Fu Yunchen raised an eyebrow: "What can you do?"
She blinked: "Anything is fine, like processing classified documents, filtering important information, or handling goods transactions."
Fu Yunchen: "..." Ha, this woman really dares to think.
He said calmly, "You're not suitable."
"How could that be?" Yi Tianran said dismissively.
"His brain is different from that of ordinary people."
Yi Tianran's lips twitched, and she took a deep breath: "I suspect you're subtly insulting me."
