Chapter 2

So even I, Chen Xiaoniu, had a day when I made it big.

That day, as soon as I got back to my shared rental, I called my grandma.

My grandma was excited too. Delighted, she reminded me, “Xiaoniu, you have to remember, go to the office bright and early tomorrow. Sweep the floor, pour water for the boss, wipe down the desk. You need to be someone who knows how to read the room, understand?”

And so, the next day, the moment Ying Xuhui arrived at the company, he saw me wearing dress pants that were far too small, kneeling under his desk with my backside in the air, wriggling around doing who knew what.

Afterward, he concluded without the slightest hesitation, “You were seducing me at the time.”

I shouted, “Bullshit! I was wiping the floor.”

But back then, Ying Xuhui stood there frowning for a long while. His fingers itched, and he couldn’t help taking out a cigarette. “Xiao Chen, what are you doing?”

I raised my two thick black brows and stood up eagerly. “Cleaning for you!”

Ying Xuhui gave a soft laugh. “Just do your actual job well. As for the rest…”

A strange smile suddenly bloomed across his face, like a flower opening, making his whole face shine as brilliantly as a diamond.

For some reason, a bizarre thought popped into my head. That smile looked exactly like the kind a man gave a woman.

I froze.

Then I heard Ying Xuhui say, “I wasn’t planning to ask you this so soon, but since you’re this proactive and you do know how to read the room, I’ll ask you early. Do you want to make some extra money? Ten thousand for one night. Interested?”

Money was what I needed most, so I nodded at once.

That night, I was dragged off in a daze to a villa.

I stared at the red wine in my hand, then at the man beside me, whose smile was growing more and more alluring. Every inch of him seemed to radiate hormones.

All at once, something felt wrong.

This… this extra money. It couldn’t be that, could it?

I stopped in my tracks.

Ying Xuhui raised an eyebrow. Those incredibly beautiful thin lips of his lightly uttered a devilishly tempting whisper.

“Do well, and I’ll add another five thousand.”

I swallowed.

Fifteen thousand. That was what I could earn from a whole year of farming.

Chen Xiaoniu, what virtue or talent do you have to make this much in one night?

And besides… President Ying was prettier than every girl I had ever seen.

I was already here…

I took a deep breath and strode forward again.

At worst, it would be like getting an injection with my eyes closed. Zip, and one night would be over. Fifteen thousand.

I was going all in!

Only, I hadn’t expected that zip to take quite so long.

At six the next morning, I, who had always been used to waking up early in the village to feed the chickens, didn’t even hear my alarm. Exhausted, I slept straight through to ten.

Clutching my backside, I walked out of the bathroom.

I saw Ying Xuhui humming as he made breakfast.

He seemed so satisfied he was practically glowing.

Pointing the spatula at me, he said with a faint smile, “I originally thought you were pretty old, but I didn’t expect you to suit my tastes so well.”

Since he complimented me, I figured I should return the favor.

Smiling, I took a bite of his fried egg. After racking my brain for ages, I sincerely praised him, “President Ying, you too.”

I chuckled. “You’re not great in bed, but you’re pretty good at actual work.”

For some reason, Ying Xuhui’s face instantly fell.
