Chapter 673: To Grandpa’s House

Xia Ruoxin sat at her so-called office in a daze. It had been around three days, and she found out that the job she was doing was a really retarded one. She could just look at magazines, surf the Internet, or just go into a daze like she did. There was simply nothing to do. The supposed errand-running, printing jobs... miscellaneous jobs vanished into thin air.

Chu Lui had already said that if she did not do this, she could only do a cleaners’ job. Without considering if the cleaner job could handle the debts she owed the bank—just based on the working hours, she did not need to think about it anymore.

The cleaners here had to come in at five in the morning and leave around ten at night. They had to spend all their time here. Let alone fetching her daughter, she probably would not even have reached home when Rainy slept.

Hence, even if this job was useless until she could swat flies, she still had to do it.

Perhaps Chu Lui had noticed her foul mood so he had ordered people to deliver proposals to her. This was her first time touching the work she did. After understanding the nature of it, she could finally arrange some work for herself to do. She wrote down whatever she could think of first, and when she thought of others later, she could add them in. This way, she did not need to come every day just to while her time away until she ended work. If she repeated this lifestyle every day, this would not be working but retirement.

In Chu Lui’s office, she reported the recent work progress to Chu Lui expressionless as if she was memorizing a book.

“We found the school so we’re undergoing internal renovations now. All the finances have been settled, and the construction requires about three months, Mr. Chu.” She raised her eyes. “Are you willing to pay me for three months to do nothing?”

She asked in all seriousness.

Three months, twenty-four thousand. After all the miscellaneous fees, it was thirty thousand. If it was the old Chu Lui—even if he fed the money to dogs, he would not have given Xia Ruoxin a single penny.

Chu Lui rubbed his brows.

“Ruoxin, do you really need to stab me in my heart?”

Xia Ruoxin stood up, took her documents, and bowed to Chu Lui.

“Mr. Chu, I’m done talking. If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.” Then, she turned around and walked away in big steps. She had a bit of presence lately. She was not a white-collared worker and was not anyone important in the company, and yet she was the only one in the world who dared to be rude to Chu Lui and not give him face.

However, Chu Lui could not do anything about it and even had to smile along sometimes. Hence, people could not make mistakes. They could only make minor mistakes, and if they made major ones, they would end up like Chu Lui—the CEO of the prestigious Chu Enterprise—being stepped on. The whole eighteen-floor building was in shock, and yet he could not do anything about that one woman.

No, it was two.

When the secretary outside saw Xia Ruoxin walk out, she hurriedly stood up. Recently, the CEO’s face had been really black; how could she come out unharmed? My god, this cannot be.

“Sister Ruoxin,” Secretary Xiao Chen called Xia Ruoxin softly.

Xia Ruoxin walked over. “What’s the matter?” She was wearing a presentable set of clothes which could roughly outline her body shape. She did not have big boobs or a big butt, but her waist was thin, and her face was pretty. It was exactly the type that people liked.

The secretary carefully pointed inside before pouting. “Sister Ruoxin, did our CEO not rage? Recently, there was a business dealing that didn’t go well so he had been upset about it for days.” As she was saying, her face also darkened as she remembered Chu Lui’s coffin-like face which made others panic in fear and feel goosebumps all over their body.

“Rage?” Xia Ruoxin shrugged her shoulders. “If he wants to rage, so be it. At most, I’ll just quit.”

“Ah!” The secretary pulled a face. “Sister Ruoxin, you’re really daring. Not anyone could enter the Chu Enterprise unless you use connections.”

“I came in without even wanting to. Of course, I used connections.” Xia Ruoxin waved the document in her hand nonchalantly. She was not afraid to let other people know about her using connections. Anyway, they all knew so there was nothing to hide.

“Okay, I’ll get going. Perhaps that man had just reached menopause. Don’t mess with him.”

Chu Lui was just about to come out when he heard Xia Ruoxin mention ‘menopause’.

At this moment, he really wanted to strangle that woman. Menopause. Menopause? How could he have menopause? He was barely thirty. A man was still a flower at thirty, and besides, he was prettier than a flower.

However, he could not do anything about that woman. He could not scold, hit, or holler.

Perhaps he had sinned too much in the past so this woman would be all over his head in the future.

When he thought of what he needed to tell the woman later, he felt pain in his head.

Xia Ruoxin threw the documents in her hand on the table. She had already worked for half a month, but she was frustrated doing similar things every day. Trial period, trial period. A three-month trial period.

For the three-month trial period, she had to stare at the man every single day and tolerate his random visits to eat dinner with them. He was even close to turning her daughter into an ingrate.

The phone on the table rang. She sat up straight and picked up the phone.

“Ruoxin, I want to discuss something with you.”

Xia Ruoxin held the phone tightly. ‘Discuss’. She did not like that word. Perhaps whatever he was about to say or discuss were things that would put her in a difficult position; things that she was not willing to do and would reject.

“My dad wants to see Rainy and bring her over to stay for a night. He’s getting old, and his body is weak,” Chu Lui said deeply. His originally deep voice started to sound hoarse.

Xia Ruoxin put down the phone in her hand while the man on the other end was still waiting for her reply.

Xia Ruoxin could reject all of Chu Lui’s requests, but she could not reject an old man’s. Actually, she had seen Chu Jiang secretly waiting outside the kindergarten and sneaking a look at Rainy. However, he had never requested to see Rainy; perhaps he was afraid that she would be unwilling.

He was no one else but Rainy’s Grandpa.

After much hesitation, she placed the phone next to her ear. “She still has school tomorrow. Don’t let her be late.” Once she finished her sentence, she hung up immediately as if she was afraid she would regret it.

She knew that if she continued this way, it would be akin to sending Rainy into the tiger’s mouth. However, she still went soft. If Chu Lui was still as mean as scary to her like in the past, she would reject him without hesitation. However, he used this tone and Chu Jiang against her. Honestly, she could not be harsh towards Chu Jiang.
