Chapter 1748: He Didn't Leave

“I’ll advance the compensation for the hotel on your behalf, and deduct it from your salary later.”

Shi Yun was anxious, “Each month my salary is already cut down to almost nothing, I can’t even buy a bag, and you want more deductions?”

Why can’t you just pay it for me directly?

That thought never had a chance to be voiced, as Ji Yanzhi sternly said, “You should seriously think about why your salary gets deducted. I’ve already mentioned, working as my assistant, all matters are handled by the book. I gave your father a backdoor, which already breached my bottom line. If you were willing to learn diligently, you wouldn’t have made no progress by now.”

“…”

“When we get back, properly hand over the procedures, either resign and the company will compensate you, or proceed according to the company’s regulations. You are not suited for this job.”

Shi Yun’s face turned deathly pale, she was so anxious to explain herself that the words tumbled out incoherently, without any clear meaning.

After hearing just a couple of sentences, Ji Yanzhi refused to listen any further.

Lu Zhenzhen was packing her things; her computer was with her, not with the bodyguard, she held it as she was leaving.

Ji Yanzhi caught up, and Lu Zhenzhen, with a sidelong glance, saw Shi Yun following behind. She stated frankly, “The matter you asked me to handle is over, let’s call it even, consider it me repaying you this time. You protected me last time, I protect your people. I have something to attend to, I’m leaving first.”

“I’ll go down with you.”

Ji Yanzhi was planning to go down anyway.

With the fuss Shi Yun created, he needed to talk to the people in charge at the hotel.

“Your fiancée is quite generous,” Lu Zhenzhen said.

Ji Yanzhi knew what she meant, “Previously, the company faced a financial crisis, partners withdrew their investments one after another, many employees left. I didn’t have enough staff. Shi Shi, to help me, worked until she fainted twice, but I was truly torn. At that time, I was overwhelmed, unable to take care of things carefully. The company was troubled internally and externally, I initially refused assistance from my in-laws. My father-in-law talked to me several times, and when I could hardly hold on, I finally agreed. He lent me a number of people, including Shi Yun. After the company was through the crisis, my father-in-law recalled all his people except Shi Yun.”

Lu Zhenzhen smirked, “Helping you once, stuffing someone in for you, quite a good deal.”

Ji Yanzhi shook his head, “My father-in-law did not agree, but Shi Yun just refused to leave no matter what. I don’t only have her as an assistant, so I let her stay.”

He regretted it long ago.

Initially, he thought it would be fine to assign Shi Yun just some tasks, but every time he went on business trips, Shi Yun always wanted to tag along, not only being unhelpful but also speaking and acting without tact, always unable to drop her heiress temperament. Afterwards, Ji Yanzhi stopped taking her along, yet she still took vacation to travel to the cities where he had business trips.

“This time I won’t tolerate it anymore, let’s get this sorted when we’re back.”

Lu Zhenzhen said indifferently, “Aren’t you afraid your fiancée will get mad?”

“She won’t.”

Ji Yanzhi thought of something, glanced at her, and then smiled, “If you and Shi Shi get to know each other, maybe you’ll become great friends, your personalities are quite alike.”

Lu Zhenzhen’s eyelid twitched, “Then it’s better not to introduce her to me.”

Ji Yanzhi laughed softly.

Just as the elevator doors opened, Lu Zhenzhen, who was in front of him, was about to step out when staff outside, pushing a cart, nearly collided with her.

Ji Yanzhi quickly pulled her back, and with a raised hand, lightly supported her back.

“Be careful.”

Lu Zhenzhen looked up at him, “Thanks.”

Then, she suddenly felt a chill, paused for a moment, and almost instantly, she knew the direction.

It was Gao Zhe.
