Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1346: 1345 he saw Gu Kai doing what

“Whether it’s worth it, I know in my heart. You just focus on your work. If you have any financial difficulties, let me know, and I’ll advance you your salary. I trust you.”

Wen Jin smiled gently, then lowered his head and continued reading the documents.

“President Wen, you’ve already advanced me a year’s salary, and I’m truly grateful for that. Please don’t give me a raise; it would make me feel guilty if I didn’t work overtime every night to earn it.”

“I’m not doing this for you, it’s for Tongtong. A thousand yuan a month for living expenses won’t cut it in G City. If Tongtong suffers, Ah Kai will come after me, and even Ranran will blame me. Besides, Ah Kai often comes over to freeload from you.”

Wen Jin didn’t look up at her. Instead, he spoke calmly while signing documents.

By the time he’d finished speaking, he’d reviewed and signed off on three documents.

He raised his eyes and handed the signed papers to Bai Yiyi, saying with a laugh, “Yiyi, if it were anyone else, they’d be overjoyed to hear about a raise. Why is giving you a raise harder than asking you for a favor? If you really don’t want a raise, why not work for me for free?”

“Then I’d rather take the raise.” Bai Yiyi blinked her eyes. If she worked for free, she’d starve to death.

Wen Jin smiled with satisfaction. “Go back to work!”

After Bai Yiyi left, Wen Jin picked up the cup beside him, took a sip of water, and leisurely pulled out his phone to dial Gu Kai’s number.

It rang several times before Gu Kai’s voice came through on the line: “Hello, Ah Jin.”

“I’ve taken care of the task you asked me to do.” Wen Jin’s lips curled into a smile as he leaned lazily into his chair.

“What task?” Gu Kai didn’t immediately catch on.

Wen Jin frowned. “Of course, it’s the matter of raising your Yiyi’s salary. I say, Ah Kai, are you playing dumb with me? Wire me ten years’ worth of it first.”

“Yiyi isn’t going to work in your factory for ten years. Why should I pay you for ten years? How about I give you one year’s worth instead?”

“You’re a doctor, but the way you talk and act is even craftier than me, the businessman.”

Wen Jin feigned irritation.

“Haha, you learn from those around you. I’ve been corrupted by you shrewd businesspeople. I have surgery soon, so how about I call Ranran and have her transfer it to you?”

“Get lost!”

“So stingy. You don’t even have a wife or kids to support, yet you’re nagging me over a few thousand yuan.” Gu Kai’s tone carried the air of a responsible family man, making Wen Jin want to spit blood. “Do you have a wife and kids to support? You’re the one who wanted to give Yiyi a raise, and now you’re tricking me into footing the bill. I’m the one supporting your wife and kids here.”

“That does kind of make sense. Fine, I’ll discuss it with Yiyi later—suggest she quits her job so I can support her instead. You can start looking for a new secretary.”

“You’re deliberately messing with me, aren’t you? I’ll tell Yiyi the raise is off because you’re trying to scam me.” Wen Jin raised his eyebrows in a mock threat.

“Fine, fine, you win. I’ll transfer the money now; send me your account number.”

In the afternoon, Wen Jin received a call from Lu Zhiyan. “Ah Jin, you still haven’t told Gu Kai, have you?”

“No.” Wen Jin hesitated for a moment, then said calmly.

“Li En isn’t willing to explain anything and insists on seeing Gu Kai. Should I call him myself?”

“Zhixing, what else does Li En need to confess? He’s already sentenced to life imprisonment, and the evidence is more than enough in this case.”

“It’s not about him; it’s about someone else.” Lu Zhiyan’s tone was grim. “It’s classified information, and I can’t disclose it to you. You only need to know that Li En’s testimony is crucial. If you don’t want to tell Gu Kai, I’ll notify him myself.”

“I don’t understand why Li En insists on seeing Ah Kai. How about this—I’ll tell Bai Yiyi to go see him. Li En likes Bai Yiyi so much; wouldn’t seeing her be better than seeing Ah Kai?”

Wen Jin felt that whatever Li En wanted with Gu Kai couldn’t be good.

Lu Zhiyan hesitated for a moment before reluctantly agreeing, “Okay, tell Bai Yiyi first and see if it works.”

Wen Jin used the internal line to summon Bai Yiyi to his office.

“President Wen, what’s the matter?”

Bai Yiyi walked in and asked with a smile.

“Yiyi, have a seat.”

Wen Jin stepped out from behind his desk and gestured toward the sofa. Bai Yiyi moved to the sofa and sat down, her gaze warm as she looked at Wen Jin.

“Yiyi, Zhiyan just called to say that Li En still refuses to confess.”

As Wen Jin spoke, Bai Yiyi’s expression shifted slightly, her gaze lowered as she said faintly, “There is evidence, isn’t there? Whether he admits it or not doesn’t change the facts.”

“Yes, there is evidence, but the police also need some secrets he knows.”

Wen Jin carefully observed Bai Yiyi’s subtle changes in expression and felt a sudden pang of guilt. He thought he shouldn’t involve Bai Yiyi in this, yet he was convinced that Li En’s meeting with Gu Kai was likely part of some scheme.

With Li En’s hatred for Gu Kai, it was impossible for him to leave things well enough alone, let alone allow Gu Kai and Bai Yiyi to be together.

But Li En was fond of Bai Yiyi. Even if he said unpleasant things, he probably wouldn’t harm her.

Bai Yiyi pressed her lips together and looked up at Wen Jin. “President Wen, is Officer Lu hoping I’ll persuade Li En? He won’t listen to me. Even if I see him, it won’t help.”

“Yiyi, actually, it’s not Zhiyan asking you to go; it’s me.” Wen Jin hesitated briefly before deciding to tell Bai Yiyi. “In the call, Zhiyan mentioned that the person Li En wants to see is Ah Kai.”

“Gu Kai?”

Bai Yiyi’s eyes widened in surprise. “What business does he have with Gu Kai?”

“I don’t know.” Wen Jin furrowed his brow. “Li En hates Ah Kai so much; I just feel that letting him see Ah Kai wouldn’t lead to anything good.”

Bai Yiyi lowered her gaze slightly. “President Wen, I’ll go see him.”

“Alright. If it doesn’t work, I’ll inform Ah Kai.” Wen Jin nodded. “Yiyi, thank you.”

Bai Yiyi smiled indifferently. “I’m only worried that my visit won’t accomplish anything. But as you said, if he meets Gu Kai, it certainly won’t end well. How about I call my mother later? Li En still has some respect for her.”

Wen Jin’s eyes lit up. “How did I forget that? Yes, call your mother. She might be able to make a difference.”

“I’ll go meet him first and then call my mom afterward.” Bai Yiyi stood up, and Wen Jin nodded.

After tidying up her office, Bai Yiyi grabbed her car keys, headed downstairs, and got into her car. She pulled out her phone and dialed her mother’s number.

Meanwhile, in the interrogation room, Li En sneered at Lu Zhiyan. “No matter what methods you use, I won’t say anything—unless you bring Gu Kai here. If I see him, I’ll tell you everything I know.”
