《I Make Millions with My Overbearing CEO Snake Husband》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Don¡¯t move¡­¡± Ning Ruxing was talking in her sleep. In her dream, a heavy python was wrapped around her body, its tail tightly wrapped around her legs while its huge head was on her arm. The python¡¯s body was very cold. Ning Ruxing would have this same dream every few days so she was already used to it. Instead of panicking, Ning Ruxing turned around and hugged the python as she continued to sleep. The next day, Ning Ruxing heard her alarm go off and quickly sat up to turn it off. After all, her other three roommates were still sleeping. Ning Ruxing gently got out of bed, washed up, and changed her clothes. As a third-year student, it was now time for an internship ¨C everyone was looking for a job. Only Ning Ruxing¡¯s three roommates didn¡¯t need one because they were rich and beautiful. Their families had some form of huge fortune waiting for them to inherit, so they didn¡¯t need to work at all. In this dormitory, only Ning Ruxing needed an internship. Ning Ruxing picked up the resume she had prepared and looked at herself in the mirror. The girl looking back at her had delicate features, fair skin, and a pair of brown eyes that made one¡¯s heart skip a beat. Her long hair was tied into a simple ponytail. At 8:30 in the morning, Ning Ruxing had already arrived at the capital¡¯s most bustling commercial street. She walked into the elevator with many white-collared workers. This was the company Ning Ruxing was going to interview with, Sen Ran! Sen Ran was currently a relatively large trading company in the capital city, often dealing with international business. The company¡¯s president was Jin Yebei, and because of his prince-like temperament and huge wealth, he unexpectedly became popular on the internet, becoming the male God in the hearts of many young girls who dreamed of one day marrying Jin Yebei. Ning Ruxing came here not to marry this famous Chairman, but to¡­ ¡°Ning Ruxing!¡± Ning Ruxing, who had been sitting and waiting, immediately stood up when she heard her name being called. She walked into the Chairman¡¯s office which had large floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing the entire office to be filled with sunlight. Ning Ruxing had not expected a Chairman¡¯s office to be simple. There was a genuine leather sofa, a desk, and only a few bookshelves. The Human Resources lady placed Ning Ruxing¡¯s resume and supporting documents on the desk and walked out. Ning Ruxing looked up and saw the man at the desk. He was wearing a simple white shirt that was buttoned up to the top. His body was bathed in sunshine, illuminating his fair skin. When he picked up the resume on the desk, he had a prideful look in his eyes while the rest of his body language exuded a cold aura. He did not seem very approachable. Generally speaking, those who came to Sen Ran for an interview would not see Jin Yebei. But Ning Ruxing applied for the position of the Chairman¡¯s Assistant, so Jin Yebei would interview her himself. It was not Ning Ruxing¡¯s first time seeing Jin Yebei. She had seen him on screen before. But it was her first time meeting him in person and now that she was there, he looked even more handsome than she remembered. Jin Yebei also noticed something. He sniffed the air carefully and realized there was an incredible scent. It was so fragrant and he could not remember how long it had been since he smelled such a pure scent of flowers in someone¡¯s blood. ¡®The last time I smelled it was many years ago. Could it be that¡­?¡¯ Jin Yebei looked up at the girl in front of him. His sharp eyes intimidated Ning Ruxing, as if he had heard her thoughts. She quickly calmed down and looked at Jin Yebei. Jin Yebei coldly said, ¡°Introduce yourself.¡± Ning Ruxing heaved an internal sigh of relief. Fortunately, her thoughts remain private to her. Otherwise, she would have failed today¡¯s interview. Ning Ruxing calmed herself down, then revealed a confident smile. Today¡¯s interview must be successful. With a clear and sweet voice, Ning Ruxing confidently said, ¡°I¡¯m Ning Ruxing, a third-year student at Capital University¡­¡± When he heard her voice, Jin Yebei remembered something that was left out of her resume: three years ago, she was the top science scorer in Shanghai. This made Jin Yebei very satisfied. Jin Yebei gently knocked on the desk, the corner of his mouth revealing a smile. Jin Yebei asked, ¡°Age?¡± When Ning Ruxing heard this question, she stopped for a moment. As she was still very young, she was a little reluctant to reveal her age. Moreover, it was already stated on the resume, so why did he still ask? Didn¡¯t he know that asking a woman¡¯s age was impolite? Still, for the sake of her work, Ning Ruxing answered honestly. ¡°Twenty-one.¡± Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After Jin Yebei heard her age, he carefully observed Ning Ruxing again. Everything that he knew about her so far matched up. As he stared at her face and pair of bright eyes, his vision slowly overlapped with the tender little face in his memory. Jin Yebei put down the resume in his hand and spoke in a voice that was not as cold as before. ¡°You have to know that being my assistant doesn¡¯t only mean that you have to deal with documents and go on business trips with me. The most important thing is to take care of my pet.¡± What? Pet? It was only then that Ning Ruxing saw a large transparent glass box on the office table. In it was a glittering golden python the size of a middle finger, lazily basking in the sun. Ning Ruxing found it very cute and smiled as she continued to look at the little snake in the box. ¡°Are you talking about taking care of this?¡± Jin Yebei was expecting Ning Ruxing to be afraid, but instead, she was not only not bothered by the snake, but she was also eager to learn more about it. Was the golden python really so cute? Or did the girl think that golden pythons would not bite? Jin Yebei¡¯s mouth twitched slightly before he said, ¡°That¡¯s right. Clean its feces, feed it, and wash its body with warm water once every half a month.¡± Ning Ruxing nodded without hesitation. She didn¡¯t know what kind of pet she was expecting to take care of. It turned out to be such a cute golden python. When Ning Ruxing agreed so readily, Jin Yebei¡¯s eyes flashed with a touch of surprise. Those who had applied for this position before ran away when they saw the golden python. Jin Yebei asked with some uncertainty, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid?¡± Ning Ruxing shook her head. What was there to be afraid of? The golden python¡¯s scales glittered under the sun. Ning Ruxing leaned over a little more to touch the glass lightly with her fingers. The little python sensed her and gently moved towards her. This was really strange because the golden python would usually threaten to bite anyone it saw. Jin Yebei moved over next to Ning Ruxing and softly asked, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you afraid?¡± Ning Ruxing¡¯s ears reddened when she heard his voice so close to her. Ning Ruxing was not afraid of snakes because when she was young, she was saved by a snake when she had gotten lost in the forest. It had brought her to find food and drink spring water to sustain her. Now that Ning Ruxing thought about it, that was not a snake at all, but a giant python that she had met. Ning Ruxing said softly. ¡°Because snakes are very cute.¡± Jin Yebei looked at Ning Ruxing with a doubtful expression. Could it be that it was only because the snake was cute? Ning Ruxing stood up and looked at Jin Yebei who was deep in thought. She didn¡¯t know if she would be hired so Ning Ruxing asked in a clear voice. ¡°May I know what other requirements I need to be your assistant?¡± Hearing her voice, Jin Yebei came back to his senses and looked back at her. It seemed that the little girl didn¡¯t remember what happened at that time and Jin Yebei didn¡¯t want to remind her just yet. Even if he told her, the little girl probably wouldn¡¯t believe him anyway. Hearing Ning Ruxing¡¯s question, Jin Yebei frowned and said,¡±Wait for further notice.¡± Hearing this, Ning Ruxing suddenly felt a little disappointed. If she had known this would happen, she would have followed the advise on the internet and asked him when she would start work instead. Now, she had to go back and wait. It was likely that she had lost the opportunity. Ning Ruxing took her belongings as Jin Yebei returned to his desk. She was not sure if she would be back so she mustered up the courage to ask, ¡°Can you give me your business card?¡± At this moment, Jin Yebei¡¯s mind was filled with thoughts of whether he should acknowledge the little girl. If he did, would the little girl believe him? Or rather, would she be afraid of him? After all, this matter was a little unbelievable to humans. So even when Ning Ruxing asked, Jin Yebei didn¡¯t even look up. As if he was dealing with his work, he indifferently said, ¡°Take it yourself, it¡¯s on the table.¡± Ning Ruxing took the name card and walked out. Once she had left, Jin Yebei finally looked up. His eyes glowed as a smile appeared on his cold face. Regardless of whether this little girl remembered him or not, Jin Yebei had to get her. After all, there was nothing more exciting in this world than having his wife come to his door. If he did, he would have two wives! Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The smell of everyone¡¯s blood was different, but hers was almost rare. Therefore, this Ning Ruxing must be Jin Yebei¡¯s girl. Jin Yebei looked at Ning Ruxing¡¯s resume and the smile on his face became more and more obvious. He recalled the incident many years ago. If it hadn¡¯t been for that, perhaps there wouldn¡¯t be a handsome Jin Yebei now. Fifteen years ago, Jin Yebei was still a giant python. One day, he went out to look for food. Suddenly, he smelled a particularly sweet scent of blood. Following the smell, Jin Yebei found a little girl who was as fair as jade. She was so little she wouldn¡¯t even fill the gaps between his teeth. However, it was better than nothing. Jin Yebei planned to approach her quickly and swallow her in one bite. But even when the little girl looked at Jin Yebei with tears in her eyes, she was not afraid of him at all. Instead, she quickly ran towards it and pounced on it. She held it tightly and refused to let go. After she had cried enough, she looked up at the python with a wronged expression and said with tears on her face. ¡°Snake, do you have anything good to eat? I-I¡¯m too hungry¡­¡± Jin Yebei¡¯s mind was full of questions. ¡®Aren¡¯t people afraid of pythons?¡¯ Moreover, he was such a huge python, yet this little girl still dared to ask him for food. Looking at the porcelain doll-like little girl who possessed a pair of big teary eyes, Jin Yebei started to feel sorry for her. He didn¡¯t know how long he had been wandering alone and how long he had been hungry But for some reason, Jin Yebei¡¯s heart softened! Jin Yebei lowered his snake head and rubbed against the fragrant little girl. ¡°Okay, I can give you food, but you have to be my wife in the future.¡± Jin Yebei smelled the scent of the little girl¡¯s blood and knew that even if he didn¡¯t eat her, the scent of her blood would be of great help to his cultivation. So, it was still useful to keep her by his side. When the little girl heard the giant python speak human language, she still didn¡¯t find it strange. She just blinked her eyes and looked at the giant python with a puzzled face. ¡°What¡¯s a wife?¡± The giant python almost laughed out loud when it heard the little girl¡¯s words. What an innocent little girl. The more it looked at her, the more it liked her. Fortunately, it didn¡¯t eat her immediately. After it cultivated its human form, it could spend some time with the little girl. Fortunately, the giant python was a cold-blooded animal. Otherwise, its conscience would be condemned. The giant python leaned close to the little girl¡¯s ear and said. ¡°It means that when you grow up, you¡¯ll marry me and give birth to my baby.¡± From that day on, the giant python would bring the little girl to find food and drink spring water. Sometimes, it would even bring food back for the little girl. Half a month later, a plane flew over from afar. The little girl immediately ran out. Before she got too far, she turned around and looked at the cold eyes of the giant python. Happily, she said, ¡°Snake, my family is here to find me. I have to go. Thank you for saving me!¡± After saying that, the little girl kissed the giant python¡¯s head and ran out. However, she didn¡¯t know that after she left, the giant python¡¯s face actually showed a touch of shyness before it slowly transformed into a hungry man. It was a python that had cultivated for thousands of years. After being injured by the last lightning tribulation, it had been unable to transform. He didn¡¯t expect that this kiss would make it transform into a human. Since then, Jin Yebei left the jungle and came to the human world. He used his previous experience as a human to start from scratch and build his own business empire. Ning Ruxing walked out of Sen Ran and looked at the sunshine outside. Suddenly, she felt a little depressed. The phone in her pocket rang. She saw a familiar number and picked it up. A familiar voice came from the other end. ¡°Miss, are you not coming back yet? Young master misses you very much.¡± Ning Ruxing listened expressionlessly. All these years, every time she received this call, the other person would always say this. But if the person was sincere, why didn¡¯t the person just admit it? Ning Ruxing was not ready to forgive just yet as she indifferently said, ¡°Is that so? After all these years, does he know he is wrong?¡± When the person on the other end of the phone heard this, he suddenly fell silent. Every time the call went through, it was the same question. Ning Ruxing could feel the reaction of the person on the other side of the phone. After a moment of silence, the person on the other end of the phone said, ¡°Miss, Young Master said that he won¡¯t force you to study abroad or force you to marry Lin Qiang. When are you coming back?¡± Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ning Ruxing¡¯s lips curled up when she heard this. If only he had done this earlier, then there wouldn¡¯t be so many problems. However, it wasn¡¯t time to return yet. There were still some things she needed to do, goals she needed to achieve. She had already been away for so long, so it shouldn¡¯t matter if she made him wait a little longer. ¡°Very good. Then tell him that I still need a year. When the time comes, I¡¯ll give him a surprise.¡± With that, Ning Ruxing hung up the phone. Many years ago, Ning Ruxing¡¯s parents suddenly disappeared so her brother took over the family business. Because he was too busy, he had never been married. And since Ning Ruxing and Lin Qiang were engaged before Ning Ruxing¡¯s parents disappeared, her brother decided to fulfill the arrangement made by their parents. However, Ning Ruxing discovered that Lin Qiang was not only a playboy but also a villain. He was very arrogant and despotic. Thus, Ning Ruxing wanted to break off the engagement with the Lin family, but her brother felt that Ning Ruxing was unruly and willful. Moreover, to her brother, Lin Qiang seemed to be a refined and polite aristocrat, excellent in all aspects. A few years ago, her brother had hoped that Ning Rxing could study abroad with Lin Qiang, but Ning Ruxing had secretly applied to study at a university in the capital instead, making her brother very angry. In addition, Ning Ruxing had gone to the Lin family alone before Lin Qiang went abroad, determined to break off the engagement with them. When her brother found out about this, he was very angry and drove Ning Ruxing out of the house. He even said that if Ning Ruxing dared to go to the capital, she would never return to the Ning family! He cut off all of Ning Ruxing¡¯s finances, and so, Ning Ruxing dragged her small leather suitcase and resolutely came to the capital alone. Since then, Ning Ruxing had been preparing for her comeback. Ning Ruxing knew that her brother had carried the family¡¯s legacy alone from a young age, which wasn¡¯t easy in this ruthless society. The reason he wanted Ning Ruxing to marry Lin Qiang was that the Lin family¡¯s strong financial resources could help the Ning family. Therefore, Ning Ruxing wanted to build a company as strong as the Lin family by herself. Then, she could help her brother and the Lin family would be of no use. Now, she had the right time and place, all she lacked was people! Sen Ran was one of the top companies in the industry in the capital city and the country. Jin Yebei had excellent management skills which Ning Ruxing could learn a lot from. This was why she had to interview for the position of Chairman¡¯s Assistant at Sen Ran. After she finished her studies, she would start her own company! When Ning Ruxing returned to the dormitory, her roommates were already up. Since they were in their third year of university, their class schedules were very relaxed. One was doing facial care, one was looking at study materials, and one was putting on makeup, getting ready to go out for a date. When they saw Ning Ruxing return, they put down what they were doing and looked at her eagerly. ¡°How did the interview go?¡± Ning Ruxing was also very envious when she saw the three of them like this. After all, which girl didn¡¯t want to be a little fairy? But for the sake of her brother and the Ning family, Ning Ruxing had to persevere. Otherwise, her fate might still end up marrying someone like Lin Qiang. Ning Ruxing indifferently said,¡±It¡¯s alright.¡± The three of them were concerned about Ning Ruxing¡¯s interview mainly because she had gone to Sen Ran. They were very curious about whether the chairman of Sen Ran was as handsome as the rumors said. Or were the photos on the internet fake? Nana, who was on the opposite bed, put down the phone in her hand and asked Ning Ruxing excitedly, ¡°Did you see Jin Yebei?¡± ¡°Is he really that handsome? Are the pictures online photoshopped?¡± A few years ago, Jin Yebei suddenly became popular on the internet as some photos and videos of him were circulated. He was so handsome that all women fell in love with him. However, very few people had ever seen Jin Yebei¡¯s real appearance. That was why a few roommates were so excited. Ning Ruxing thought about what Jin Yebei looked like and smiled. ¡°The picture isn¡¯t photoshopped. The real person is better!¡± Nana became even more excited when she heard that. She even let out a shriek like a groundhog. She had been worried that the pictures on the internet were photoshopped. Now that she had gotten her answer, how could she not be excited? Nana looked at Ning Ruxing excitedly and said with some regret. ¡°If I knew this would happen, I would have gone with you to the interview.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t believe you met Jin Yebei!¡± Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lili, who was putting on makeup, laughed when she heard Nana¡¯s words. Sen Ran had always been strict in their recruitment, let alone the position of Assistant to the Chairman. Nana had not even passed the CET-4, so they probably would not even respond to her resume application. Lili turned to look at Nana and said calmly. ¡°Nana, stop daydreaming. I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll never have the chance to do so.¡± Time passed by as they banter. Ning Ruxing looked at her phone every once in a while but there were no missed calls or e-mail notifications. It was quiet all the way until night. Ning Ruxing was starting to panic a little and started to replay the interview earlier today in her head. She remembered the pair of deep eyes and was no longer sure if she would be able to make it into Sen Ran. Jin Yebei was too cold and expressionless. It was hard to figure him out, let alone guess his thoughts. The shrewdness of the boss of such a successful business was really too deep! Ning Ruxing took out the business card she had asked for today from her bag. The business card was cold in her hand, just like Jin Yebei¡¯s temperament. The name card¡¯s design was very simple. There was only a simple name and a phone number on it. After thinking about it, Ning Ruxing picked up her phone and directly added Jin Yebei as a friend on WeChat. She didn¡¯t know why, but the moment she added him as a friend, Ning Ruxing started to feel very nervous. She waited for a long time, but there was no response, so she went to wash up. When she came back from washing up, she saw her phone light up. Jin Yebei must have accepted her as a friend. As long as she added him as a friend, Ning Ruxing was confident that she could get into Sen Ran and study from Jin Yebei¡¯s shadow. Ning Ruxing quickly walked to her phone and picked it up. She saw a message from Jin Yebei. [Who are you?] Ning Ruxing saw this message and didn¡¯t dare to delay any longer. After all, time was money to these big bosses of the business world. Every minute could be counted in tens of thousands of yuan. Only by following such big bosses could one learn really useful things. Ning Ruxing picked up the phone and quickly replied. [Hello, Mr. Chairman. I interviewed with you today. My name is Ning Ruxing.] Jin Yebei was a little confused. Although they had an interview today, he didn¡¯t give her his contact. So how could Ning Ruxing have found him through WeChat? Could it be that his information was leaked? ¡®That would be a lot of trouble.¡¯ Jin Yebei took out his phone and quickly typed a reply. [How did you find my WeChat?] When Ning Ruxing saw this question, her face immediately darkened. Wasn¡¯t he the one who willingly gave his business card? ¡®Why are you asking me where I found it?¡¯ However, it was understandable. After all, a big boss like Jin Yebei must be busy with a lot of things every day. Noble people tend to forget things. It was understandable that he had forgotten about it after a while. Ning Ruxing quickly responded to him. [Before I left today, I asked for your business card and found you on WeChat based on the information written on it.] After a few minutes, Jin Yebei still did not reply. Ning Ruxing tucked her hair behind her ears and did not care if her hair was dry or not. This was her last chance. If she could not convince Jin Yebei, she would not have had the chance to enter Sen Ran and learn from Jin Yebei. Ning Ruxing sat on the chair and typed quickly. [May I ask if you¡¯ve hired an assistant? Do you think I¡¯m up to the task?] After sending the message, Ning Ruxing suddenly felt a little weak and nervous. Her heart was beating fast even though she usually looked very calm. Time passed, minute by minute as Ning Ruxing stared at the phone screen, afraid to miss a message. After a full five minutes, Jin Yebei replied. [What abilities do you have to be my assistant?] After seeing the message, Ning Ruxing finally heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Jin Yebei replied, Ning Ruxing still had hope. Moreover, it seemed that Jin Yebei was testing her. Ning Ruxing controlled her emotions, took a deep breath, and quickly typed a reply. [No matter what abilities I have, you should see them for yourself!] [Let me be your assistant for a month ¨C you don¡¯t have to pay me yet. If you¡¯re not satisfied after a month, I¡¯ll leave immediately.] After sending the message, Ning Ruxing responded to her other messages. However, her whole mind was still fixated on her conversation with Jin Yebei. Jin Yebei hadn¡¯t replied to her message, which made Ning Ruxing think that she might not have a chance. It wasn¡¯t until dozens of minutes later that she finally saw Jin Yebei¡¯s message. She opened the chat box and read it. [Tomorrow, buy a cup of coffee from downstairs and bring it to my office. Half milk and sugar-free.] Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The next day, Ning Ruxing woke up early. After tidying up, she went downstairs to buy coffee and went to the chairman¡¯s office on the top floor. The entire floor was Jin Yebei¡¯s office, and at this time, only the cleaning lady was working. Ning Ruxing quickly went up to her and asked with a smile, ¡°Good morning, Auntie. May I ask if Chairman Jin is here?¡± Since Ning Ruxing was so polite, the cleaning lady¡¯s mood was also quite good. Many employees would not speak to them so politely. Moreover, this girl was able to come to the top floor, so she should be in a relatively important position. She must not offend this young lady. The cleaning lady smiled and quickly said, ¡°Chairman Jin isn¡¯t here yet. He usually sleeps in.¡± Ning Ruxing¡¯s mouth couldn¡¯t help but twitch. Was she really talking about Jin Yebei? She even started to think that it was a little cute that such a cold person would actually sleep in. Usually, a chairman would wake up especially early, run, have breakfast, and then come to the office to work seriously. After the cleaning lady left, Ning Ruxing walked into the office and saw that Jin Yebei was indeed not there. Ning Ruxing looked around the office again. She realized that she didn¡¯t even notice a door to a bathroom on one side of the bathroom. The large floor-to-ceiling windows allowed the first ray of morning sunlight to fill the entire room. Ning Ruxing put down the coffee and saw that the desk was a little messy. So she tidied it up. When she turned around, she saw the little golden python flicking its tongue at her. How naughty of it! Then, she noticed that the food was almost gone. So, she picked up the feed that was placed next to the enclosure and filled up the food bowl. She also went to the bathroom to add some water for the little snake. When she reached in to pour water for it, the little snake wrapped around her wrist. At this time, Jin Yebei also pushed the door open and came in. Ning Ruxing saw Jin Yebei and immediately greeted him with respect. ¡°Good Morning, Chairman Jin.¡± Ning Ruxing tried to remove the little snake off her wrist. However, for some reason, the little snake seemed to be deliberately bullying her. It wrapped tighter and kept flicking its tongue. Fortunately, Jin Yebei didn¡¯t care about this as he walked to Ning Ruxing¡¯s side and bitterly said, ¡°It¡¯s still young now, but it will grow bigger as time passes. Will you be afraid then?¡± Ning Ruxing shook her head and thought of her childhood experience. If it weren¡¯t for that giant python, there wouldn¡¯t be Ning Ruxing today. That was the reason she liked snakes. She also remembered that she had a pet at home and unknowingly blurted it out. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have a pet too, and it¡¯s very big.¡± Jin Yebei was suddenly very interested. Of course, there was no problem for a girl to have a pet, but she said it was very big. What could it be? Even the biggest dog was not as big as a python, so why did the little girl say that she was not afraid? Could it be that the little girl also had a golden python at home? Was it an adult? Jin Yebei curiously asked, ¡°Is that so? What pet?¡± ¡°An ostrich.¡± Ning Ruxing answered so quickly that Jin Yebei was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled. He had seen all kinds of pets, but this was the first time he heard of someone keeping an ostrich as a pet. Besides, wasn¡¯t this girl living in a school dormitory? Why would they keep ostriches? Jin Yebei thought it was funny and said, ¡°Are ostriches allowed in the school now?¡± Ning Ruxing¡¯s face darkened when she heard this. Even the big boss had times when his brain wasn¡¯t working well. How could anyone keep pets at school? Even if the school did allow it, her roommates would never agree. Besides, the dormitory was so small. There was no place for an ostrich. Ning Ruxing helplessly said, ¡°Of course not at school. I keep him at home.¡± Jin Yebei didn¡¯t ask any more questions. He sat in the chair and nodded with satisfaction when he saw that Ning Ruxing had replenished the python¡¯s food and water. Among so many assistants, only Ning Ruxing dared to do such a thing. No one else dared to even approach the enclosure. Jin Yebei sat on the chair and said, ¡°It¡¯s a little hot, help me take off my clothes.¡± Ning Ruxing was stunned for a moment. She suddenly felt that she was not an assistant at all, but a maid or servant who served the Emperor in ancient times. However, there was no other way. She was his assistant. Now that the chairman had spoken, as an assistant, of course, she had to be obedient and do her job well. She couldn¡¯t be fired on her first day of work because of such a small matter, right? Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ning Ruxing stepped forward and helped Jin Yebei take off his coat. As she did so, Ning Ruxing caught a whiff of his fragrance. She couldn¡¯t tell what it reminded her of but it was a very comforting fragrance. Ning Ruxing hung his coat on the clothes rack and noticed that Jin Yebei was still wearing the same white shirt as yesterday. It vaguely showed his muscles as Jin Yebei picked up the phone on the table. ¡°Lisa, come over and assist Ning Ruxing in her internship confirmation.¡± As soon as he hung up the phone, a woman in her thirties came in. She was surprised to see Ning Ruxing. Although she had been interviewed yesterday, the Chairman of the Board of Directors had not said that he wanted to hire Ning Ruxing. And now, here the candidate was, arriving for work all of a sudden. Regardless, Lisa smiled professionally and said, ¡°Miss Ning, your work desk has been arranged. Please follow me.¡± Jin Yebei frowned. Assistants usually sat in a separate office. But Ning Ruxing was different from the others. He had already decided that she would be his wife a long time ago. If she were to sit away from him, what if someone comes and steals her from him? How could he allow her to sit separately from him? Jin Yebei calmly said, ¡°Move Ning Ruxing¡¯s work desk to my office.¡± Lisa was stunned to hear this at first. She was very curious about what was so different about this new assistant that could make Chairman Jin so fond of her. After all, Chairman Jin had always been cold and distant, never getting close to women. Still, Lisa knew what she should ask and what she shouldn¡¯t ask, so she quickly regained her composure and said, ¡°Understood, I¡¯ll make the necessary arrangements.¡± And with that, Lisa turned around and walked out. Ning Ruxing still followed Lisa, a little curious. Although she was now stationed in Jin Yebei¡¯s office and could thus study him as a Chairman of a successful business, she did notice Lisa¡¯s brief yet strange reaction. Ning Ruxing followed Lisa to a small room and asked while filling in a form, ¡°Have all of Chairman Jin¡¯s assistants been placed in his office?¡± When Lisa heard this, she looked at Ning Ruxing. If all the assistants worked in the chairman¡¯s office, Lisa would have won over the chairman long ago. Why would there be a new assistant, then? What was so good about this little girl?! Lisa¡¯s face was already much colder than before, the smile on her face gone. ¡°No, they don¡¯t!¡± When Ning Ruxing heard this, she was even more puzzled. Since no one else had been given such an arrangement, why did she have to be in the chairman¡¯s office? Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t ask any further and continued to fill in the form with her head down. Chairman Jin didn¡¯t seem to be a bad person so there shouldn¡¯t be any problems. ¡°Chairman Jin and fellow assistants, I hope we will be able to get along in the future!¡± They would be colleagues in the future. Of course, they had to maintain a good relationship. Lisa brought Ning Ruxing to an office area where the other assistants were present. The boys were handsome and the girls were elegantly beautiful. They were around twenty-five years old and seemed like the kind of people who made others feel comfortable at first sight. Ning Ruxing stood in front of them like a little sister. They were also very surprised to see Ning Ruxing. Although they already knew that the chairman had hired a new assistant, this little girl was obviously a student who had not graduated yet. How could she take on such an important position? A handsome boy among them couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Isn¡¯t this girl a little too young?¡± Hearing this, Ning Ruxing felt very helpless. Although she was already a third-year student, she did look very young, like a student who had just graduated from high school. Ning Ruxing could only find a way to make herself look more mature and not look like a child. Ning Ruxing looked at the assistants and calmly said, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Ning Ruxing!¡± They were still very surprised. Why would the chairman find such a young person to be his assistant? They had thought that the new assistant might be a senior executive from some company. Otherwise, the chairman would not have agreed so easily. Since Ning Ruxing already introduced herself, Lisa decided to introduce the rest. ¡°Ning Ruxing, this is Kevin, Shasha, and Kana. You should get to know them.¡± ¡°In the future, everyone will work for the chairman together. If there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t know, you can learn from each other. Don¡¯t make any trouble!¡± Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After Ning Ruxing got to know the other assistants, Lisa brought her back to the chairman¡¯s office. As soon as Ning Ruxing entered the office, she found that the work desk had already been placed in the office. The pure white office table and chair were right next to Jin Yebei¡¯s desk with a large floor-to-ceiling window next to it. Ning Ruxing immediately got into work mode and asked, ¡°Chairman, is there anything I can do for you?¡± Jin Yebei looked at Ning Ruxing and found her to wearing a dress of an unknown brand. How could the future wife of someone like him wear such a shabby dress? If this were made public, people would say that Jin Yebei didn¡¯t want to spend money on his wife. Jin Yebei looked at his watch and calmly said, ¡°As my assistant, you can¡¯t look too shabby. The Guo Mao Mall is next door. Let¡¯s go get you some new clothes.¡± When Ning Ruxing heard the first half of his sentence, she didn¡¯t think much of it. But when she heard the second half, she was a little shocked. A dignified chairman was going to personally buy a mere assistant clothes? Without waiting for Ning Ruxing to say anything, Jin Yebei stood up. Ning Ruxing hurriedly went to get the coat hanging on the hanger and quickly caught up with Jin Yebei to put it on him. Jin Yebei frowned, stopped, and said, ¡°It¡¯s hot today, I don¡¯t need to wear a coat.¡± There was a hint of pride in his tone as if he was sulking at his girlfriend. Ning Ruxing took off his coat but not before Jin Yebei reached into the pocket of his coat, took out an elevator card, and handed it to Ning Ruxing. He had prepared it last night, but he acted as if it was no big deal. ¡°This is the card for my private elevator. You can use this to come directly to the office.¡± Ning Ruxing took the elevator card happily. This way, she didn¡¯t have to squeeze into the elevator with the others in the future. Sen Ran¡¯s building had many floors and the elevator would stop at almost each during peak hours. It would take a lot of time to reach the top floor. And now that it was summer, it always smelled sweaty in there even though people would rather not pay much attention to it. After Ning Ruxing put the coat away, she followed Jin Yebei into the private elevator. It smelled very comforting in there, just like Jin Yebei¡¯s coat. Every button in the elevator had been wiped clean. After entering the elevator, Jin Yebei looked at Ning Ruxing and asked, ¡°You don¡¯t have to go to class today?¡± While asking, Jin Yebei was about to press the button to the first floor when Ning Ruxing reached out to do the same. She happened to touch Jin Yebei¡¯s hand and hurriedly retracted hers. She didn¡¯t expect a man¡¯s hand to be so fair and cold, yet he didn¡¯t wear a coat. He would really endure the temperature for the sake of elegance! Ning Ruxing said, ¡°I don¡¯t have any classes today!¡± Hearing this, Jin Yebei nodded, but then he remembered that Ning Ruxing had come early today. He didn¡¯t know if she had eaten breakfast or not. If she hadn¡¯t, it would be bad for her body. After all, a person was made of iron, and rice was steel. If she didn¡¯t eat, she would be hungry! ¡®Shopping for clothes is also a physically demanding job. She can¡¯t go hungry,¡¯ thought Jin Yebei. ¡°You arrived so early today. Have you had breakfast?¡± Ning Ruxing was very surprised. Did the chairman care so much about his subordinates? Not only did he bring her out to buy clothes, but he also cared about whether she had eaten breakfast? This kind of chairman was too good! He was not as cold as and as much of a workaholic as the rumors outside. ¡°I¡¯ve eaten.¡± After that, the two of them suddenly fell silent and the atmosphere became a little awkward. Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment while Jin Yebei looked at Ning Ruxing¡¯s careful appearance and the corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a smile. Seeing that the elevator was about to reach the first floor, Jin Yebei thought of the coffee on the table and said,¡±Right, I¡¯ll transfer the money for the coffee this morning back to you!¡± Ning Ruxing quickly shook her head. She was already very grateful to Jin Yebei for giving her the opportunity to work here. Besides, a cup of coffee didn¡¯t cost much. It was nothing. She didn¡¯t intend to ask Jin Yebei for money at all. If she accepted it, it would seem too stingy of her. With a professional smile, Ning Ruxing said, ¡°There¡¯s no need for that, Chairman. It didn¡¯t cost that much!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Ruxing heard her phone ring with the news that her Alipay had received money. What surprised her even more was that Jin Yebei had transferred twenty thousand yuan to her. The cup of coffee had only cost fifty yuan. Were all the rich people in the world so generous to transfer so much money without saying a word? Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Although Ning Ruxing also had some assets, she was definitely not as generous as Jin Yebei. Ning Ruxing wished that there would be more of such chairmen. That way, she could earn tens of thousands of yuan every day. Wouldn¡¯t she become a winner in life, then? Just as Ning Ruxing was fantasizing, she heard Jin Yebei say, ¡°From now on, bring me a cup of coffee every day. Also, bring me some delicious breakfast.¡± Hearing this, Ning Ruxing immediately nodded her head. She knew that he wouldn¡¯t give her so much money for free. However, bringing him coffee and food every day was a relatively simple task for the amount of money he gave her. She could easily get the coffee from the cafe downstairs. It was very convenient. But what would Jin Yebei like to eat for breakfast? Ning Ruxing decided to ask. ¡°What do you like to eat for breakfast?¡± Ning Ruxing hoped that Jin Yebei would eat something simple so that she wouldn¡¯t have to rush around every morning to buy him breakfast. It would save her a lot of time and allow her to sleep a little more as well. Otherwise, she would have dark circles under her eyes and her skin would become very bad. Jin Yebei answered without hesitation. ¡°You!¡± Ning Ruxing was stunned for a moment, suspecting that there might be something wrong with her ears. But his face remained indifferent as he continued to deal with his work on his phone as if he had not spoken at all. Jin Yebei then casually completed the rest of his seemingly hanging sentence. ¡°I¡¯m fine with anything you like.¡± Ning Ruxing finally let out a sigh of relief. Jin Yebei saw her reaction from the corner of his eye and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly into a smile. The elevator had just reached the first floor and Jin Yebei walked. Ning Ruxing followed closely behind. The sun shone on Jin Yebei as he walked, making him look even more radiant. As soon as Jin Yebei entered Guo Mao Mall with Ning Ruxing, they saw two handsome greeters at the door bowing to Jin Yebei. Ning Ruxing trotted after her boss. Jin Yebei¡¯s legs were too long and he walked so fast that Ning Ruxing almost couldn¡¯t keep up. Jin Yebei seemed to have noticed this at some point, so he deliberately slowed down his pace as he brought Ning Ruxing to Chanel. ¡°See if there¡¯s anything you like. The company will reimburse you.¡± Ning Ruxing looked at the clothes she was wearing. Although it wasn¡¯t a big brand, it shouldn¡¯t be to the extent of making her look shabby, right? But what would she know? Forget it. Even if she did, a straight man like him probably wouldn¡¯t know. Ning Ruxing stepped forward and casually picked up a suit. Jin Yebei looked at it and was dissatisfied. He had brought her here to buy clothes, but she ended up picking such a low-profile business outfit? Jin Yebei stepped forward, picked up clothes, and measured them on Ning Ruxing¡¯s body. He took a look at all the clothes he had picked and decided whether he wanted them or not. Finally, Jin Yebei looked at the many clothes around him and said to the shop assistant,¡±That¡¯s all, we¡¯ll take them all.¡± Ning Ruxing was extremely shocked. Were they really in Chanel? Why did it feel like they were at a roadside stall? It was obviously a big brand, but he bought the clothes as if they were free. What else could Ning Ruxing do other than be shocked? At this time, Jin Yebei stepped forward and picked up the business suit that Ning Ruxing had picked out. After careful observation, he said,¡±This one¡¯s okay. Wear this when we go to meetings in the future. You can wear the rest to work!¡± When Ning Ruxing heard this, she quickly looked at the clothes the sales assistant was packing. They were all sexy and elegant dresses, but they didn¡¯t seem very appropriate to wear to work at the company. Besides, shouldn¡¯t she look more serious in the company? Ning Ruxing frowned. But since Jin Yebei was being quite serious about their shopping spree, she embarrassedly said, ¡°Do you really want me to wear these clothes in the company? Are you sure that¡¯s OK?¡± Jin Yebei smiled. Of course, it was. Otherwise, why would he buy them? He wanted her to dress beautifully every day. Moreover, it was Jin Yebei who allowed her to do so. No one in the company would dare to say anything. Jin Yebei looked into Ning Ruxing¡¯s eyes and said,¡±Of course. As my assistant, you have to look beautiful. I have the final say in my company!¡± At this moment, Ning Ruxing suddenly thought of the other assistants working downstairs. Kana and Shasha were also Jin Yebei¡¯s assistants, but they wore professional suits. Now that Ning Ruxing was going to wear these dresses, wouldn¡¯t it be double standards toward them? When he saw Ning Ruxing in thought, Jin Yebei frowned and ask, ¡°You don¡¯t like them? Then let¡¯s go to the next shop and buy other clothes.¡± Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ning Ruxing finally came back to her senses. She couldn¡¯t let Jin Yebei continue to buy her clothes. These clothes were already enough. If they went to buy more, she wouldn¡¯t be able to wear them all. Even with whatever was just bought, wearing one a day would be enough to last her for quite a while. She might not be able to wear them all even after the summer ended. Ning Ruxing immediately said, ¡°Jin Yebei, this is enough. Actually¡­¡± Ning Ruxing also had a lot of beautiful clothes, but to keep a low profile, she chose to wear ordinary ones which were custom-made for other brands. Many of them were designed by Ning Ruxing herself and were unique. When Ning Ruxing graduated from high school, she had already designed clothes for some international brands. Every time these brands released new products, a lot of them would come from Ning Ruxing. At first, Ning Ruxing designed clothes as a hobby. Later, she wanted to make more money to use as capital to build a company as powerful as the Lin family¡¯s. However, Ning Ruxing¡¯s current treasury was not enough. Throughout the years, Ning Ruxing had been engaged in all kinds of business just to make money! Jin Yebei looked at Ning Ruxing in confusion. How could these clothes be enough? It wasn¡¯t easy to meet this woman again. Now that their paths have crossed once more, he wanted to be able to spoil her and to see her nicely dressed up every day ¨C it would make him so happy. However, she seemed to have other plans so Jin Yebei curiously asked, ¡°Actually what?¡± Ning Ruxing thought for a while and decided not to reveal anything to Jin Yebei. After all, even if she did, Jin Yebei might not believe her. Besides, she had not graduated yet and there were still many things to prepare. The most important thing was to learn how to manage a company from Jin Yebei. Ning Ruxing shook her head and said,¡±No, nothing, it¡¯s just that I¡¯ve let the chairman spend a lot of money!¡± Jin Yebei nodded, still in a good mood. He thought that she was going to reject his kind intentions. Although he could not reveal too much yet, it did not stop him from taking care of her. As for the secret, he could take it slowly later. If he said it now, it might scare her. Jin Yebei said, ¡°It¡¯s not expensive. This is also part of my job! ¡°I recruited you because you¡¯re pretty. I want to start a live streaming business.¡± ¡°When the time comes, you¡¯ll do a live broadcast and promote Sen Ran to the public. You¡¯ll also have events to promote. That¡¯s why I let you work in my office!¡± When Jin Yebei complimented Ning Ruxing for her beauty, he stared at her. Even though Ning Ruxing had always been calm, her heart unconsciously began to beat faster. Jin Yebei saw that the tips of Ning Ruxing¡¯s ears were slightly red and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. He was about to say something when Ning Ruxing¡¯s phone rang. Ning Ruxing saw the number and picked up the call. ¡°Did you find it?¡± When the person on the other end of the phone heard Ning Ruxing¡¯s question, he immediately became serious. This mission had been going on for a long time. They had found some before, but they were not what Ning Ruxing wanted. There were even a few times when they had lost their temper. So this time, after finding them, the person immediately called Ning Ruxing and said,¡±Yes, I¡¯ve sent people to all the zoos in the capital city and found a similar one in the jungle zoo. The photo has been sent over. Do you want to take a look for yourself?¡± Ning Ruxing said ¡®Okay¡¯ lightly, then hung up the phone. She opened WeChat and looked at the picture sent over. She frowned. The picture was not taken in detail, so Ning Ruxing couldn¡¯t confirm whether it was correct or not at the moment. Jin Yebei took a look at the picture on Ning Ruxing¡¯s phone. It was a giant python and it was very ugly. He asked, ¡°What is it?¡± At this time, Ning Ruxingalso reacted. They were still in the middle of work, but right now, this matter was more important. All these years, Ning Ruxing had been sending people to look for it. As long as there was any news, Ning Ruxing wanted to confirm it immediately. Hearing Jin Yebei¡¯s question, Ning Ruxing smiled and honestly said, ¡°When I was young, I got lost in the jungle and was saved by a snake. That snake could talk and said that when I grew up, I would be his wife!¡± Hearing this, Jin Yebei¡¯s eyes flashed with a touch of light, but he quickly covered it up. He didn¡¯t expect her to still remember this. However, little did she know that her husband was right in front of her. She didn¡¯t need to look for him at all. Still, Jin Yebei didn¡¯t say anything as he heard Ning Ruxing say, ¡°Since I¡¯ve agreed, I have to keep my promise. Even if I can¡¯t be his wife, I have to find him a female snake!¡± Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Jin Yebei was happy that she still remembered the promise between them. But he would have never thought she would say that she was going to find him a female snake. Jin Yebei frowned and clenched his hands into fists. Thankfully, he had thousands of years of self-cultivation that helped him suppress the anger in his heart and calm his emotions. ¡°What if he doesn¡¯t like female snakes?¡± When Ning Ruxing heard this question, she remembered a few strange videos she had seen before, explaining that snakes were androgynous and could reproduce without the need of the opposite sex. Some snakes didn¡¯t like females at all, only males. Perhaps the big snake back then was the same. Ning Ruxing thought of this and said without hesitation, ¡°If it doesn¡¯t like a female, then I¡¯ll find it a male!¡± Jin Yebei¡¯s face darkened. What was she thinking? What did she mean by finding a male? Why was she even thinking about such complicated and weird things? Did she think Jin Yebei liked men? Where did she hear such rumors? Jin Yebei¡¯s face was dark when he seriously said, ¡°What are you thinking? Is this the only dirty piece of trash in your head?¡± Hearing this, Ning Ruxing immediately came back to her senses. She was done for. How could she let herself speak so freely in front of her boss? This was her first day at work and she had already left such an impression on her boss. Jin Yebei wouldn¡¯t be unhappy and fire her directly, would he? Ning Ruxing saw how dark Jin Yebei¡¯s face had turned so she held her tongue and didn¡¯t dare to say anything more. On the way back to the company, Jin Yebei didn¡¯t say a word. Lisa sent Ning Ruxing a few documents that stated the company rules and regulations for her to read carefully. It was almost noon and Ning Ruxing was getting a little hungry. She opened the food app on her mobile phone and, with a sweet smile on her face, asked, ¡°Chairman, I¡¯m planning to order some take-out. Is there anything you¡¯d like to eat?¡± Jin Yebei looked at his watch. He didn¡¯t expect it to be noon so soon. But why did she want to order take-out? The company had its own canteen that served food which was not bad and was completely free. Many employees liked the company¡¯s canteen very much. Jin Yebei said, ¡°Didn¡¯t Lisa tell you that the company takes care of your meals? The canteen is on the 11th floor and serves food buffet-style.¡± Ning Ruxing knew that the company provided lunch at noon, but Jin Yebei was the chairman. He wouldn¡¯t eat in the company¡¯s cafeteria like the employees, would he? Moreover, as his assistant, Ning Ruxing felt that it was her job to ask her boss what he wanted to eat for lunch. Ning Ruxing also wanted to do what an assistant should do. What was wrong with that? Ning Ruxing put away her phone and pouted slightly, as if she had been bullied and felt very wronged. Jin Yebei could guess what she was thinking. However, Jin Yebei¡¯s lunch had always been Kevin¡¯s responsibility, and Kevin knew what he wanted to eat. Jin Yebei indifferently said,¡±Kevin is usually in charge of my lunch and he always orders a lot. I can¡¯t usually finish all of it by myself. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to go down, you can have lunch with me here.¡± That was when Ning Ruxing realized that Jin Yebei already had someone to help deal with his lunch. Since Kevin had been working there far longer than she had, he would know what the chairman wanted and liked to eat. Moreover, Jin Yebei had asked her to stay for lunch, so there should be a lot of delicious food. And thus, Ning Ruxing said,¡±Okay, thank you, Chairman!¡± With a smile on his face, Jin Yebei lowered his head and continued to deal with his work. From the corner of his eye, he saw Ning Ruxing return to her seat. Then, Jin Yebei sent a message to Kevin, asking him to order more food than usual, as well as some desserts and ice cream that girls like. This was the first meal after their reunion, so he couldn¡¯t let her finish lunch without a full stomach. Not long after, Kevin brought in lunch. It was a very large amount as Kevin carried two super large bags and put them aside. He turned around and took out a folding table from the cabinet. He set the table and placed the food on the table one by one. After everything was done, Kevin looked at Ning Ruxing, who was helping him, and said,¡±Ning Ruxing, let¡¯s go down for lunch together. You¡¯ve been to the company¡¯s cafeteria before. ¡°The company¡¯s cafeteria is pretty good. The food is different every day and the ingredients are fresh. Let¡¯s go try it together, how about it?¡± Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation No one knew why, but the moment Kevin finished speaking, the whole office suddenly became chilly, as if the air conditioner was suddenly put on full blast. As the two of them stood in a brief moment of cold silence, Ning Ruxing shook her head. She had already promised Jin Yebei she would eat in the office today, so of course she couldn¡¯t leave. She could only express her apology to Kevin. ¡°I¡¯m afraid not. I¡¯ll go with you next time!¡± Kevin didn¡¯t think so much about it. He wouldn¡¯t have thought that the chairman would let Ning Ruxing stay in the office to eat with him. This was simply impossible in Kevin¡¯s eyes. Perhaps Ning Ruxing¡¯s work wasn¡¯t finished? ¡°But you can¡¯t not go down for lunch,¡± said Kevin. Besides, the Chairman was having lunch now, so it wasn¡¯t good for Ning Ruxing to stay there. ¡°Then what are you having for lunch? You can¡¯t go hungry, can you?¡± Hearing this, Ning Ruxing felt a little embarrassed. This was only her first day at work. Was she going to tell others that she was going to eat with the Chairman in the office? If word got out, people would definitely overthink it. Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t know how to answer for a moment. Then, Jin Yebei coldly said, ¡°Kevin, are you done with your work?¡± Kevin shivered. He wanted to continue talking to Ning Ruxing by taking the opportunity of lunchtime to sit and chat with her. But now that the Chairman has asked that question, Kevin immediately said, ¡°Not yet, Chairman!¡± Jin Yebei looked at Kevin. How could he not know what was on Kevin¡¯s mind? But this woman can only belong to Jin Yebei. No one could have any ideas about her. Still, Jin Yebei could not be too obvious now. Thankfully, he could also see that Ning Ruxing did not know how to respond to Kevin. Jin Yebei said, ¡°Since you haven¡¯t, why are you still in the mood to chat?¡± Kevin immediately shut his mouth. After setting the dishes on the table, he immediately turned around and left. Kevin didn¡¯t want to be reprimanded by the Chairman for such a small matter. Once Kevin had left, Jin Yebei stood up and looked at Ning Ruxing, who had returned to her desk. He smiled and said, ¡°Wash your hands and get ready to eat.¡± Ning Ruxing eventually took a seat at the pop-up table. She didn¡¯t know why, but even though this was the first time she was sitting face-to-face with Jin Yebei, she felt a sense of familiarity with him. It was the kind of familiarity that felt as if she had known him for a long time. However, this wasn¡¯t important now. The most important thing right now was to eat. There were so many dishes on the table that they might not be able to finish them even if they ate together. Even when eating, Jin Yebei was very elegant. First, he cut the steak into small pieces, then slowly put it into his mouth, chewing and swallowing slowly. Ning Ruxing had no choice but to slow down her eating speed and eat more gracefully. Jin Yebei looked at Ning Ruxing and casually asked,¡±It¡¯s the weekend tomorrow. Do you have any plans?¡± Ning Ruxing swallowed the food in her mouth. She had been busy with other things in the past weekends, so this weekend, she was going to go to the zoo. She had finally found a snake that looked like the one she had been looking for but she couldn¡¯t tell from photos. She had to go see it in person. Ning Ruxing was not going to give up so easily. ¡°I¡¯m planning to go to the zoo to see if that snake is the one that saved me!¡± Hearing this, Jin Yebei smiled. He picked up his fork and knife to continue eating his steak. He didn¡¯t expect her to still be looking for him all these years. But that black snake was just too ugly. He didn¡¯t know if she would be able to ¡®recognize¡¯ it. Jin Yebei finished cutting a few more pieces of his steak and said,¡±It¡¯s been so many years. Can you really still recognize it?¡± Ning Ruxing laughed when she heard this. Ever since she was a child, she had a photographic memory. Besides, the snake had saved her life and they had lived together for half a month. Ning Ruxing could remember the snake¡¯s eyes, scales, and patterns as if she saw it just yesterday. ¡°I can recognize it and I won¡¯t be wrong!¡± Jin Yebei was stunned for a moment, but he quickly thought, ¡®It¡¯s better to go with her. If she mistook me for someone else, at least I can stop her in time. Since she still remembers her promise to be my wife, I don¡¯t want her to mistake me for someone else, especially that ugly snake.¡¯ ¡°Shall we go together this weekend?¡± Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ning Ruxing was a little surprised to hear Jin Yebei¡¯s words. Jin Yebei was the chairman of Senran. Shouldn¡¯t he be busy with work on Sundays? How could he have the time to go to the zoo with her? ¡®Even if he¡¯s not dealing with work, wouldn¡¯t he be meeting some business partners or enjoying his personal time?¡¯ Ning Ruxing wondered doubtfully. ¡°Chairman, do you want to come too?¡± Jin Yebei looked at Ning Ruxing¡¯s shocked face calmly. Of course, he would go with Ning Ruxing. Otherwise, if Ning Ruxing mistook the snake for him, it would be really embarrassing. That snake was so ugly, how could it be compared to him? Moreover, if she acknowledged the wrong snake, things could get serious. ¡°It just so happens that I like snakes too. I¡¯m not very busy recently, so I also want to go out to take a walk.¡± After saying that, Jin Yebei picked up his phone to send a message to Kevin, asking him to push back his entire schedule for the next day. Ning Ruxing still felt that it was a little strange, but since Jin Yebei was eating and working calmly, perhaps she was just overthinking. ¡°After dinner, come with me to meet a client. I¡¯ve sent you the information,¡± said he. Ning Ruxing immediately agreed. Her friend had shown her a video of Jin Yebei meeting with a client before. In it, Jin Yebei was eloquent and ruthless. As long as it involved benefits, he would not give in an inch. Today, she could finally see this scene in person and learn from it. After the meal, Ning Ruxing saw Jin Yebei walking out. She immediately picked up the business suit she bought today and walked into the bathroom. As expected of the Chairman, even the bathroom was clean and spacious. Ning Ruxing took off her clothes and began to change into the business suit. But after putting it on, she found that the zipper on her back could not be zipped up. Fortunately, there was no one else here. Ning Ruxing started jumping around like a monkey, trying to pull up her zipper. At this time, she heard the sound of someone opening the door. The clothes she had just taken off were still hanging on the sink. Ning Ruxing had no choice but to lower her head and do nothing, trying to reduce her presence and not be discovered. Jin Yebei entered the bathroom and saw Ning Ruxing looking a little like an ostrich, finding it funny. He saw that Ning Ruxing¡¯s zipper was not pulled up, so he reached out and pulled it up for her. Ning Ruxing felt very embarrassed as her face turned red. When she felt the zipper pulled all the way up. Ning Ruxing lowered her head and whispered her gratitude to Jin Yebei. ¡°Tha-Thank you, Chairman!¡± Jin Yebei tried to hide the smile on his face. This kind of thing was indeed embarrassing, but he had no choice. If he didn¡¯t come in to help, who knew when Ning Ruxing would be able to get dressed? In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Jin Yebei turned on the tap and said,¡±Get ready, we¡¯ll be setting off soon.¡± Then, he turned around and left the bathroom. And it was only then that Ning Ruxing dared to look up again. She patted her face with her hand and gently exhaled. Once she was mentally calmer, she returned to her desk and began to prepare the documents for the meeting. She went to meet Jin Yebei downstairs at the entrance of the company where a brand new Maybach was already waiting. The driver immediately came out to open the door and respectfully invited Jin Yebei to get in. Jin Yebei stood at the door and gave Ning Ruxing a look, indicating for her to get in the car first. Ning Ruxing obliged and entered the car. Jin Yebei followed. Once the two of them got in the car, the driver closed the door and returned to the driver¡¯s seat. He took a look at the set navigation and started the car. Ning Ruxing sat nervously with Jin Yebei right beside her. His arm would touch her from time to time, which made Ning Ruxing even more nervous. Jin Yebei, on the other hand, was flipping through the documents silently. There was a faint fragrance in the car, which, combined with the smell of Jin Yebei¡¯s body, Ning Ruxing found very pleasant. Ning Ruxing calmed herself down, then took out the documents to read. At this time, a car in front of them suddenly blocked the road so the driver had to make a sharp turn to avoid it. Jin Yebei was not affected at all, but because Ning Ruxing was not seated firmly, her whole body fell onto Jin Yebei¡¯s lap. Jin Yebei felt the soft feeling on his leg and his whole body froze. He quickly reacted and tried to help Ning Ruxing up. But they unexpectedly passed over a speed brake and Jin Yebei bent over more than he intended. His hand suddenly felt something soft¡­ Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Chairman Jin, I¡¯m sorry. I wasn¡¯t careful¡­¡± The driver turned around and wanted to apologize. However, when he saw this scene, his eyes immediately widened in shock. He quickly whipped back around and pretended not to have seen anything. Ning Ruxing hurriedly sat back up as well as her ears started to turn red. Jin Yebei had to call upon his thousand years of self-cultivation to calm himself down before he casually said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Ning Ruxing pretended as if nothing had happened and continued to read the documents in her hand. But her heart was still in a state of shock. Fortunately, the journey continued on smoothly and nothing else happened. Once she was done with work, Ning Ruxing returned to her dormitory. The moment she walked in, her roommates turned toward her with smiles on their faces. ¡°Ruxing, how was your first day at work?¡± Ning Ruxing sat on her chair and put the bag in her hand down. She could feel herself still in a daze. Everything that happened earlier was still vivid in her mind, especially the feeling of being touched on her chest. How could she forget it? Since her roommates had asked her a question, she responded though still in a daze. ¡°Never would I have imagined¡­¡± As she spoke, she saw the fruits and snacks on her table ¨C her roommates must have placed them there for her. Unfortunately, Ning Ruxing was not in the mood to eat them right now. Her mind was still filled with what happened in the car today. She didn¡¯t know how to face Jin Yebei tomorrow. Nana, who was eating snacks, came forward with a face full of desire for gossip and excitedly asked, ¡°How was it? What was it like working with Jin Yebei and seeing such a handsome guy every day? Did it feel good?¡± Ning Ruxing smiled bitterly. She had been dying on the inside the entire day, especially after what happened in the car earlier. If it weren¡¯t because she had to work, Ning Ruxing would have run away. And her roommate was asking her if she enjoyed her work today? Ning Ruxing simply wanted to find a hole in the ground to burrow into. With a bitter smile, Ning Ruxing said, ¡°It was a cool experience!¡± When her roommates heard Ning Ruxing¡¯s words, they felt very envious. After all, a handsome man like Jin Yebei was rare in the world. He was also so talented to have started from scratch before creating such a huge business empire. Which girl wouldn¡¯t want to be by the side of such a man? Even just being able to work by him was good enough. Nana asked, ¡°Is Jin Yebei particularly fierce? I heard that these chairmen more or less have some problems. Does he have any?¡± Hearing this, Ning Ruxing frowned. Before she left for work this morning, Ning Ruxing had also been worried about this problem. Fortunately, Jin Yebei was not as terrifying as the rumors made him out to be. He did not lose his temper, nor did he have any other problems. It was just that everything that happened today was too embarrassing. Ning Ruxing smiled and said, ¡°No, there¡¯s nothing wrong with Jin Yebei.¡± Nana remained envious. If she had known this would happen, she would have gone to the interview with Ning Ruxing. If she was selected, it would be great to see Jin Yebei too. Unfortunately, she was too lazy at that time. She was also worried that Jin Yebei¡¯s photos on the internet were all fake! Nana, still infatuated with Jin Yebei, said, ¡°That¡¯s great. Why don¡¯t you ask if your company is still hiring? If it¡¯s possible, please recommend me. I¡¯m even willing to sweep the floor!¡± Ning Ruxing was put in a difficult position when she heard this. Sen Ran had a very strict recruitment system. Their employees could not just recommend anyone. Ning Ruxing had just started working and did not have such great authority. Moreover, Nana had not passed the CET-4, so it was impossible for her to go to work. Ning Ruxing looked at Nana with conflict in her heart. ¡°Nana, Sen Ran¡¯s cleaning staff have to pass CET-4 as well!¡± When Nana heard this, she felt very sad. She turned around and covered her face as she cried. She regretted that she didn¡¯t study hard enough. She still couldn¡¯t even pass the CET-4 until now. When Ning Ruxing saw Nana¡¯s expression, she smiled helplessly and picked up the fruit on the table to take a bite. She still had to go to the zoo with Jin Yebei tomorrow! Ning Ruxing took out her phone and looked at the picture of the snake sent by her subordinate today. The picture was a little blurry because it was taken from a distance, probably due to fear of getting too close to the creature. Ning Ruxing couldn¡¯t see the patterns on the scales clearly, so she had to wait until tomorrow to go to the zoo and see it for herself. At this time, she received a message on WeChat. It was from Jin Yebei. [I¡¯ll pick you up at 8:30 tomorrow morning?] Seeing this message, Ning Ruxing immediately wanted to reply that there was no need, but she felt that it would be too stiff of her. Jin Yebei was the boss, how could she be so stiff toward him? After some thought, Ning Ruxing found an emoji and sent it over. This was much better, but she still had to explain herself. Ning Ruxing quickly typed and sent a message. [The subway is right next to the school. It¡¯s very convenient!] Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Jin Yebei frowned when he read Ning Ruxing¡¯s message. He wanted to pick her up, but she refused. Perhaps she was afraid that her classmates would see and gossip about it, so Jin Yebei didn¡¯t insist. He simply replied with an ¡®okay¡¯. Ning Ruxing saw the reply, thought for a while, and then quickly typed back. [I¡¯ll see you at the entrance of the zoo at 9:30 am tomorrow, then!] Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t say anything else. She just wanted to forget about today¡¯s incident as soon as possible. And the best way to forget it was to keep herself busy. Ning Ruxing sat in front of the computer until midnight, then got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. As she lay on her bed, she recalled Jin Yebei¡¯s words and expressions when he met the client today. Although they were in the client¡¯s territory, Jin Yebei still sat calmly. He would listen to anyone who spoke. And when it was his turn to speak, his logic was clear and his speech was smooth. Even if he just sat there without saying a word, his aura could suppress the other party. Perhaps this was the reason Sen Ran became a big corporation in such a short time. Jin Yebei¡¯s history of making a fortune had always been a legend to others. It was said that Sen Ran only had a small office in the beginning. Jin Yebei started from a young age and slowly achieved what he had today. Moreover, Jin Yebei¡¯s age was a mystery. He looked like he was in his twenties. Even if he started a business at the age of fifteen, he would only be twenty-eight or twenty-nine now! Ning Ruxing¡¯s mind was filled with all these thoughts so she was able to gradually forget about the embarrassing incidents today. When she woke up the next day, she was full of energy. Since the weather was good, she opened the window to get some fresh air. As for her other roommates, they were still immersed in their dreams. After a simple wash-up, she put on a light blue dress that was designed by a gold-class designer and her master for her. It was called the Heart of the Sea, and it was a unique piece. It was Ning Ruxing¡¯s coming-of-age gift. There was a black Bentley was parked in front of the dormitory. Ning Ruxing went straight to the car, opened the door, and sat in it. This car was Ning Ruxing¡¯s car, but she usually let her subordinate drive it as it was the car she used to be picked up. Shiraj was sitting in the driver¡¯s seat as he immediately said, ¡°Boss, you have to be careful later. That snake is too fierce. I heard that even the breeder was almost eaten by it!¡± When Ning Ruxing heard this, she was stunned for a moment. After so many years, the snake should remember her and would not hurt her, right? But why was it locked up in the zoo? Furthermore, he didn¡¯t even communicate with anyone. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s not the snake at all,¡± said Ning Ruxing to Shiraj indifferently, shaking her head. ¡°If it really is him, it won¡¯t do anything to me.¡± Shiraj did not say much as he started the car. When they were about to arrive, Ning Ruxing asked Shiraj to park the car by the subway. Ning Ruxing got off the car and walked over. From a distance, she saw a tall man in a light blue shirt at the entrance of the zoo. In addition to the ticket in his hand, he also had two ice cream cones. The scene looked a little incongruous. Upon a better look, Ning Ruxing saw that the ice cream had melted a little. Jin Yebei must have been waiting at the zoo entrance for a while. Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t expect the dignified Chairman to have such a cute side. She hastened her steps and walked over. Seeing Ning Ruxing coming over, Jin Yebei handed her one of the ice creams in his hand and said, ¡°I¡¯ve already bought the tickets. Let¡¯s go.¡± Ning Ruxing took the ice cream and wanted to tell him that she had already booked the ticket on the phone. But since Jin Yebei had already bought tickets as well, she would have to request for a refund next time. Ning Ruxing licked the ice cream and followed behind Jin Yebei. She thought to herself that it was only the second day of work and she was already going to the zoo with her boss. How strange! As Jin Yebei walked, he felt that Ning Ruxing seemed to be walking slower and slower. The distance between the two was getting wider with each step he took. He suddenly stopped and waited for Ning Ruxing. After all, they came together, so shouldn¡¯t they walk together? When Ning Ruxing came closer, Jin Yebei said. ¡°Am I walking too fast? Are you having a hard time keeping up?¡± Ning Ruxing immediately walked closer. She had been thinking about something just now, so she unconsciously started to walk a little slower. However, even at normal walking speeds, Ning Ruxing couldn¡¯t usually keep up with Jin Yebei. Jin Yebei was so tall and his legs were so long. One step for Jin Yebei was two steps for Ning Ruxing. ¡°No, you¡¯re not too fast. I can keep up!¡± Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Jin Yebei knew that Ning Ruxing couldn¡¯t keep up with him, so he slowed down his pace to make her feel less tired. As he walked, he turned on the GPS on his phone. The zoo was huge, and the main purpose of their visit today was to see the snake, so they shouldn¡¯t waste too much time. Jin Yebei said, ¡°If we continue this way, we¡¯ll reach the snake area.¡± It was the weekend, so there were quite a lot of people at the zoo. Some parents brought their children while some couples came here for a date. Jin Yebei followed Ning Ruxing¡¯s walking speed to be beside her. And since they were wearing the same color, no matter how you looked at them, the two of them looked like a couple. Ning Ruxing looked at Jin Yebei and said, ¡°Jin Yebei, do you want to use some sun lotion? The sun is still very bright today which would make it easy for our skin to turn dark!¡± Jin Yebei wanted to refuse, but since Ning Ruxing had already taken out the lotion, he couldn¡¯t refuse. How could he refuse when Ning Ruxing was so concerned about him? However, Jin Yebei had never used such a thing before and didn¡¯t know how to use it. He frowned and asked, ¡°How do I use this?¡± Ning Ruxing was stunned at first. What? The chairman of Sen Ran didn¡¯t know how to use sun lotion? How was he still so fair, then? ¡®But I guess it makes sense. Men rarely use this kind of thing. Jin Yebei is so fair so I guess he was just blessed with good genes. How enviable,¡± thought Ning Ruxing before she said, ¡°Well, close your eyes. I¡¯ll spray a little on you.¡± Jin Yebei obediently closed his eyes as Ning Ruxing held up the sun lotion spray. Jin Yebei was a little tall, and when she was about to stand on her tiptoes, Jin Yebei suddenly bent down. Ning Ruxing¡¯s heart started to beat uncontrollably, especially since Jin Yebei¡¯s face was so close to hers. She could see his white skin and despite the distance between them, she still could not see his pores. This made Ning Ruxing a little jealous! Ning Ruxing sprayed the cream evenly on Jin Yebei¡¯s face. When some of it got on his eyelashes, they looked like raindrops. Ning Ruxing was mesmerized just looking at him. How could there be such a perfect man in this world? Jin Yebei sensed that Ning Ruxing was falling into a daze. But he couldn¡¯t tell if she was done or not. So he asked, ¡°Done?¡± Ning Ruxing came back to her senses, though her face was a little red. She couldn¡¯t be blamed for this. Instead, she could only blame Jin Yebei for being so good-looking that Ning Ruxing couldn¡¯t help but be fascinated by him. Fortunately, Jin Yebei closed his eyes and didn¡¯t see anything. Otherwise, it would be another social death scene. Ning Ruxing quickly said, ¡°Wait a moment, I¡¯ll spray you a little more!¡± With a little more to go, she was finally done. Then, she sprayed some on herself. The two of them continued to walk according to the navigation app on Jin Yebei¡¯s phone. A few minutes later, they arrived at the snake area. There were many kinds of snakes here, and the big snake was locked in the innermost area that day. Ning Ruxing could see the huge snake through the fence. The snake also sensed that someone was approaching so it immediately opened its eyes and slithered over from a distance. It seemed to be emitting a huge sense of oppression through the enclosure, and if it was someone else, they might have turned around and run away in fear. Ning Ruxing, however, stood indifferently in the same place and carefully observed every detail of the big snake. The big snake got closer and closer, and when it was about to reach the railing, it straightened its upper body and looked at Ning Ruxing with a pair of cold eyes. Snakes didn¡¯t like to look at people, and when it found that Ning Ruxing was still looking at it, it opened its huge mouth, as if it wanted to swallow Ning Ruxing whole. And it was at that moment the snake saw the person next to Ning Ruxing; the big snake suddenly became well-behaved. The snake¡¯s behavior immediately took a u-turn as it obediently lay on the ground, its eyes constantly looking around. The floor of the cage was filled with animals that it had fed on and the air was filled with the smell of blood. Regardless, Ning Ruxing stepped forward and carefully observed its scales. Jin Yebei asked, ¡°So, is this the snake you were looking for?¡± Ning Ruxing¡¯s eyes were full of disappointment after a careful examination. Although this one was somewhat similar, it was clear from the shape of the scales and the patterns that it was not the snake Ning Ruxing was looking for. Ning Ruxing shook her head and said disappointed, ¡°No, the snake I¡¯m looking for is very cute and likes to be clean. This one is too smelly and dirty!¡± Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Jin Yebei¡¯s lips curved up slightly. She still remembered his snake form so clearly. He was worried that she would mistake him for someone else, but it seemed that he was overthinking things. However, if even if he revealed the truth to her, she wouldn¡¯t believe him. She would even think that Jin Yebei was trying to cheat her of her body. Then, the loss would outweigh the gain. Jin Yebei said, ¡°You remember it so clearly?¡± Ning Ruxing nodded when she heard this. Of course, she would remember it clearly. They had lived together for quite a while in the forest. If it weren¡¯t for the big snake, Ning Ruxing might have been eaten up by other animals a long time ago. Therefore, no matter what, Ning Ruxing must find the big snake that could talk. Ning Ruxing murmured with disappointment in her eyes, ¡°Of course I remember you, my savior! ¡°Snake, where are you?¡± Jin Yebei could hear everything she just muttered, which only made his smile grow wider. He looked into Ning Ruxing¡¯s eyes. She was just as cute as the little baby from back then. Jin Yebei could still remember the first time he saw her. Ning Ruxing was extremely aggrieved and asked him for food. She hugged him to sleep at night as well. Jin Yebei asked in a low voice, ¡°Then, do you miss it?¡± Ning Ruxing also remembered that year when she saw the snake for the first time. Not only was she not afraid, but she also thought that the snake was a good snake, which was why she felt comfortable to ask food from it. What was more unexpected was that the snake could speak. In that half a month, the snake took her to find food every day, and occasionally brought back some other food. Thinking of this, Ning Ruxing said,¡±I do, I really do!¡± Hearing this, Jin Yebei smiled gently. It turned out that he was not the only one who had been thinking about the little girl. The little girl had been thinking about him too! Ning Ruxing seemed to have noticed something. She turned around and saw Jin Yebei smiling. He was smiling so beautifully that Ning Ruxing felt a little suspicious. ¡°What are you smiling about?¡± Jin Yebei came back to his senses. He stopped smiling and returned to his cold appearance. Now that the matter was settled, the remaining time should be considered their date time. As for the matter of acknowledging each other, it would have to wait a while to avoid being too abrupt and scaring the little girl. Jin Yebei said,¡±Nothing. Since this isn¡¯t the one, let¡¯s go!¡± Ning Ruxing looked at the python again, nodded, and left with Jin Yebei. They strolled around the other parks. This zoo had a wide variety of animals. When they passed by the peacock area, a peacock spread its tail at them. Jin Yebei looked at Ning Ruxing and asked, ¡°If it was the snake you knew that day, what would you do?¡± When Ning Ruxing heard this question, she was stunned for a moment. She thought about the big snake she had seen just now again and was very sure that it was not what she was looking for. The one in the zoo only knew how to eat and sleep, but the one in Ning Ruxing¡¯s memory knew how to take a bath and even roll around in the flowers to become fragrant. Ning Ruxing thought for a while and sincerely said, ¡°Of course I¡¯ll do my best to help it! ¡°Since it¡¯s a wild animal, it shouldn¡¯t be in a cage. That¡¯s too pitiful! ¡°I¡¯ll talk to the zoo¡¯s leader and ask him to set it free. I¡¯ll either buy it or let it go!¡± Hearing Ning Ruxing¡¯s words, Jin Yebei¡¯s interest was piqued. The jungle where they first met was gone. If he were to be released, where would it be? Could it be that this little girl didn¡¯t remember that she had promised the great snake to be its wife? Jin Yebei looked at Ning Ruxing and seriously asked, ¡°Release where?¡± Ning Ruxing was also thinking about this problem. The original jungle was gone. If it was released it in the countryside, it would likely be caught again and put back in the zoo. It would also likely be caught and eaten by someone. So there was only one place to release it. After serious consideration, Ning Ruxing said, ¡°The Amazon rainforest!¡± Jin Yebei was speechless. This was not a release but sending it to its death! Snakes have a strong territorial nature. If other snakes were to break in, one of them would definitely die. It seemed that the little girl has not thought it through. Jin Yebei coughed lightly, then said, ¡°Snakes are very territorial. Are you sure you want to set them free and not send them to their deaths? ¡°Moreover, it¡¯s so far away. Can it adapt and survive there? Will it be eaten by other snakes?¡± Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ning Ruxing suddenly fell silent and Jin Yebei didn¡¯t say anything either. He simply walked forward alone, slowly. Ning Ruxing knew that Jin Yebei was right. She couldn¡¯t just release the python into the wild just like that. But what should she do then? After thinking about it seriously, Ning Ruxing quickly caught up with Jin Yebei and said, ¡°I¡¯ll raise it! ¡°I¡¯ll buy a house with a big yard and let it live there, and feed it, and let refill its water bowl. That should be much better than letting it stay in the zoo!¡± Jin Yebei¡¯s eyes flashed with a touch of strange brilliance, but it disappeared in a flash. He didn¡¯t expect her to make such a decision. If it were someone else, they would have forgotten about the snake and the promise. ¡°Do you know how much a snake that big eats a day? ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that the snake will eat until you¡¯re poor?¡± Ning Ruxing thought, ¡®Well, I am actually rich, so I should be able to keep a big snake. It¡¯s not a problem.¡¯ Besides, Jin Yebei had underestimated her. But why would he think otherwise? In Jin Yebei¡¯s eyes, Ning Ruxing is just a student on an internship and hasn¡¯t graduated yet. Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t want to expose too much about herself so she simply said, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll just have to work hard!¡± Jin Yebei was speechless. Such a huge python ate a lot every day. Ning Ruxing¡¯s salary as an intern might only be enough to cover the expenses for a few days, unless Ning Ruxing wanted to feed the python grass instead.Jin Yebei wanted to say something, but he didn¡¯t know what exactly. In the end, he said, ¡°How cute of you.¡± For a moment, Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t quite understand what he meant by ¡®cute¡¯. Did he think she was stupid and naive? But she had no choice. Jin Yebei did not know her well! And Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t want to reveal her wealth. She was too lazy to argue with him anyway. Moreover, he was her boss now. ¡°Chairman, are you ready to go back?¡± Jin Yebei thought to himself, ¡®Why would she think that? It¡¯s the first time they¡¯re alone together and I had purposely made Kevin postpone all my meetings of today. There¡¯s nothing else for me to do.¡¯ Jin Yebei slowly turned around, looked at Ning Ruxing, and said something that she would never forget. ¡°What do you mean by going back? The ticket costs more than 300 yuan just for you to come see the wrong snake? Shouldn¡¯t we take a look around?¡± Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t expect that the chairman of Sen Ran to say such words. However, it was quite cute of him to react like this. After all, he was usually a cold person. Ning Ruxing that Jin Yebei¡¯s behavior and temperament changed really quickly. Sometimes, he was easy to approach, but in the next second, he could make people feel like they had to stop in their tracks! At this moment, Jin Yebei¡¯s phone rang. From the expression on his face, it seemed to be something urgent. Jin Yebei didn¡¯t expect such a thing to happen at this time. He thought that he would have a good date with her today. Well, since she was already here with him, he decided to involve her. ¡°What timing. Let¡¯s go meet a client!¡± When Ning Ruxing heard this, she was instantly dumbfounded. Wasn¡¯t this the weekend? Wasn¡¯t it a rest day? But now she was forced to work overtime after visiting the zoo with her boss? It seemed that the tickets were not bought for nothing! What an evil capitalist! Jin Yebei was very well aware that today should be a day off so it was not a good thing to make Ning Ruxing work overtime. He asked, ¡°Do you have anything else to do in the afternoon?¡± Ning Ruxing immediately shook her head. It wasn¡¯t that she wasn¡¯t willing to tag along. It was just that she had come out to visit the zoo today, so she had dressed more simply. Her business attire was still in the dormitory. Wouldn¡¯t it be too abrupt to meet a client like this? Ning Ruxing looked at her own clothes and, with slight embarrassment, said, ¡°But the clothes I¡¯m wearing-¡± Before she could finish, Jin Yebei interrupted her and carefully sized her up. Although she was not wearing a professional suit, she looked very good. Moreover, Jin Yebei himself was not wearing any formal suit. Of course, he would not ask Ning Ruxing to go back and change her clothes. Jin Yebei nodded and said, ¡°You look fine. ¡°I¡¯m also dressed casually, so it¡¯s alright. Let¡¯s not worry about our attires! ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯re going to meet a client!¡± Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ning Ruxing wasn¡¯t prepared at all but in the end, she was going to work overtime. Although it was a weekend, Ning Ruxing was still very willing to learn from Jin Yebei. Moreover, this was only her second day at work. Even if she had something to do, she had to follow Jin Yebei. The two of them walked out of the zoo. When Ning Ruxing saw the car, she was stunned. The car was exactly the same as her Bentley. If it weren¡¯t for the plate number, Ning Ruxing would have thought that it was Shiraj waiting for her. The driver was still the same driver from yesterday. He opened the door for Ning Ruxing and Jin Yebei very attentively. The embarrassing scene from yesterday instantly appeared in Ning Ruxing¡¯s mind and she started to hesitate, wondering if she should get in the car with Jin Yebei. Although Ning Ruxing was very embarrassed, they were all adults. They could still tell what truly happened ¨C it was all an accident. Ning Ruxing calmed her mind quickly, looked at Jin Yebei as if nothing had happened, and asked,¡±Chairman, where are we going now? Which client are we meeting?¡± After receiving client information yesterday, Ning Ruxing had done her homework. She knew what each client liked, where they liked to go, and even some of their hobbies. Ning Ruxing remembered them all so that she could prepare herself for such an unexpected situation. Jin Yebei said calmly,¡±Don¡¯t be nervous, I¡¯m here.¡± Ning Ruxing wasn¡¯t very nervous at first. But his words still put her at ease. As expected, the rumors on the internet were false. Jin Yebei wasn¡¯t that scary, nor was he that cold. ¡°This client is not in our client¡¯s information. ¡°However, he¡¯s already approached me a few times. He wants to collaborate, and I¡¯m also considering it. ¡°Furthermore, this person is also from Shanghai.¡± Shanghai was so big, and there were so many people. There were hundreds and thousands of big and small families. It was impossible for Ning Ruxing to know every one of them. However, little did she expect that this person was the one Ning Ruxing did not want to meet the most. Jin Yebei continued to say, ¡°This person is very famous in Shanghai. You might have heard of him. ¡°Lin Wanbiao from Lin Sen group.¡± When Ning Ruxing heard this name, she panicked a little. The night Ning Ruxing had gone to the Lin family alone to break off the engagement quickly fkashed through her mind. At that time, the Lin family had said that Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t know how to appreciate kindness. If it weren¡¯t for the sake of Ning Ruxing¡¯s parents, they wouldn¡¯t have agreed to the marriage in the first place. In the words of the Lin family, Ning Ruxing should be deeply grateful. But instead, she ran over to break off the engagement without knowing the gravity of the situation. Madam Lin said in disdain that if Ning Ruxing broke off the engagement with Lin Qiang, no one in the whole of Shanghai would dare to marry her. It was even impossible for Ning Ruxing to find someone as outstanding as Lin Qiang in this life! At that time, when Ning Ruxing heard this, she was even more determined to break off the engagement.Needless to say, Ning Ruxing was kicked out of the Lin family and the engagement was canceled. Because of this, Ning Ruxing and her brother were still in a Cold War with each other. After so many years, Ning Ruxing never thought that she would be meeting a member of the Lin family in the capital, especially as Jin Yebei¡¯s assistant. The driver stopped the car and opened the door for the two of them. The resplendent place in front of them was a famous restaurant in the capital city. Ning Ruxing followed Jin Yebei in. Two tall and handsome doormen immediately opened the door to an interior even more luxurious than the outside. It was filled with an aura that only rich people could be in. When Jin Yebei entered the private room, Lin Wanbiao, who had been inside for a long time, immediately stood up to welcome him. He also saw Ning Ruxing beside Jin Yebei. But since Lin Wanbiao was a wily old fox who had been in the business world for many years, his expression didn¡¯t change at all and he simply treated Ning Ruxing as if she didn¡¯t exist. ¡°This is my assistant, Ning Ruxing.¡± Chapter 20 - The Amount You Eat Will Be Based on Your Ability Chapter 20 The Amount You Eat Will Be Based on Your Ability Lin Wanbiao heard Jin Yebei¡¯s words, but his face was still very calm. He stepped forward and shook hands with the two of them as if he didn¡¯t know Ning Ruxing at all. Although the Lin family was very embarrassed by the annulment of the engagement, they didn¡¯t want to fight with the Ning family over this matter. So Lin Wanbiao said to the two of them charmingly, ¡°Hello, Miss Ning. ¡°This is my son.¡± When Ning Ruxing heard this, she realized that Lin Qiang was also there. What a rare guest. He was doing well studying abroad. Why did he suddenly come back? Lin Qiang was wearing an appropriate handmade suit, but his conduct was not as good as Lin Wanbiao¡¯s. When he saw Ning Ruxing, his face scrunched up as he gritted his teeth. ¡°Ning-¡° At this moment, Lin Wanbiao frantically waved his hands at Lin Qiang, telling him not to say anything. Lin Qiang swallowed his words and sat down. On the surface, he looked happy, but in fact, he had all kinds of schemes in his heart. When the waiter served the dishes and poured wine for them, Lin Wanbiao picked up his glass and said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s rare that Chairman Jin is willing to spend time with us. I¡¯m very honored today!¡± Jin Yebei smiled professionally. He had never agreed to the Lin family¡¯s requests because he had heard some bad news about them. Besides, every time he saw Lin Wanbiao, Jin Yebei felt very uncomfortable. But now that they were sitting together, he couldn¡¯t be too cold. ¡°You¡¯re too kind, Chairman Lin. No matter what, you¡¯re my senior. If there¡¯s anything, just get straight to the point.¡± Lin Wanbiao¡¯s eyes darkened when he heard this. The Lin family had always wanted to work with Sen Ran, but Jin Yebei had never agreed to a meetup, until now. This made Lin Wanbiao very angry, but he had never shown it. Today, he only met with Jin Yebei to announce something. ¡°It¡¯s nothing big. It¡¯s just that my son was studying abroad as an exchange student. ¡°But since he¡¯s been abroad for so many years and he misses his home country so much, he decided to return to a local university. ¡°He¡¯ll be reporting to Capital University in a few days.¡± When Ning Ruxing heard this, she was stunned. What? Lin Qiang was going to Capital University? Didn¡¯t that mean that she would have to go to the same school as Lin Qiang in the future? How could this be? She had finally gotten rid of the Lin family. Why did they want to pester her again? Lin Wanbiao paid her no mind and continued to speak to Jin Yebei. ¡°I¡¯m getting on in my years, so I¡¯m going to hand some things over to my son. ¡°I¡¯ll also strive to live a leisurely life as soon as possible. In the future, my son will manage the company while he goes to school. ¡°No matter what, the capital is still your territory, so we came to say hello.¡± Lin Wanbiao¡¯s words were watertight. Ning Ruxing also understood what he meant. Lin Wanbiao was too shameless. He obviously wanted a piece of the cake, but he still said it so politely. After observing him, Jin Yebei put down his chopsticks and said to Lin Wanbiao with an indifferent expression, ¡°Chairman Lin, you¡¯re being too polite. ¡°I¡¯m not the only one who has the final say in the capital. Besides, how big a slice of cake you get depends on your abilities. ¡°The law of the jungle is the law of survival in nature. ¡°Young Master Lin, you don¡¯t need to report to me.¡± Jin Yebei¡¯s words were also very clear. If they wanted to compete in the market, it would depend on Lin Qiang¡¯s ability. If he really had the ability, then he could do well. If he couldn¡¯t, it would only mean that Lin Qiang was not qualified. When Lin Wanbiao heard these words, he still had a smile on his face as he said, ¡°You¡¯re too humble, Chairman Jin. ¡°Our Lin family can¡¯t be lacking in this courtesy. ¡°Although the law of nature is the law of the jungle, isn¡¯t there also a first come, first served basis for humans?¡± As he spoke, Lin Wanbiao clapped his hands and two people immediately came in with trays. On one tray was a souvenir made in South Africa. It didn¡¯t look small. On the other tray was a check. This was something Lin Wanbiao had prepared in advance. He wanted Jin Yebei to make things easier for Lin Qiang. With a smile, Lin Wanbiao said, ¡± I hope you don¡¯t mind this small gift, Chairman Jin. My son has just arrived, so please take it as a way to help the younger generation. ¡°I, Lin, would like to thank Chairman Jin.¡± Chapter 21 - I Dont Accept Disciples Chapter 21 I Don¡¯t Accept Disciples Jin Yebei looked at the food on the plate indifferently. Lin Wanbiao¡¯s gift was quite big, but Jin Yebei didn¡¯t care. With Sen Ran¡¯s strength, he could have easily obtained these things himself. Moreover, it was obvious that they were trying to compete in the market. Jin Yebei didn¡¯t want to give in to Lin Wanbiao. ¡°I don¡¯t accept disciples. ¡°There¡¯s an old saying that goes: Teaching the disciple will starve the master. ¡°If Chairman Lin has anything else to say today, I can have a drink with you.¡± ¡°Regarding this matter, I¡¯m sorry but I have to decline.¡± Despite Jin Yebei¡¯s apologetic face, his words still came off unexpectedly rude to Lin Wanbiao. Still, they were in Jin Yebei¡¯s territory. No matter how strong a dragon was, it can¡¯t beat the local snake. Lin Wanbiao immediately stood up and stopped Jin Yebei, who was about to leave. He poured Jin Yebei a glass of wine and said with a smile, ¡°You can¡¯t say that, I was being rude.¡± The atmosphere soon recovered and turned into a happy one. The meals were feasted on and the drinks were downed with ease. At this time, Ning Ruxing felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach and went to the bathroom. When she came out, she was blocked by a figure ¨C Lin Qiang had a lot to drink and was thus a little drunk. He looked at Ning Ruxing angrily and questioned her through gritted teeth. ¡°Ning Ruxing, what right do you have to break off the engagement with me?¡± When Ning Ruxing saw that it was Lin Qiang, her expression turned very cold. How did Lin Qiang still have the face to question her? Why did she break off the engagement? Did he not know? Regardless, Ning Ruxing was currently here under the capacity of Jin Yebei¡¯s assistant. She didn¡¯t want to cause any trouble and embarrass Jin Yebei. Ning Ruxing looked at Lin Qiang and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, you¡¯re not my type. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll find someone better.¡± Lin Qiang¡¯s anger shot through the roof. He could care less about Ning Ruxing¡¯s words. Since he was young, there was nothing that Lin Qiang couldn¡¯t get. How could he ever expect that a woman would come to his door to break off the engagement? Even some of his former ¡®friends¡¯ would ridicule him over this matter. Lin Qiang angrily said, ¡°Are you in need of money? ¡°If you¡¯re working as Jin Yebei¡¯s assistant, does that mean that the Ning family is in need of money now? ¡°If you be with me, money would no longer be an issue to you. ¡°My family is ready to hand over Lin Group to me.¡± As he spoke, Lin Qiang¡¯s face revealed a sense of superiority. He didn¡¯t even like Ning Ruxing that much. This was all simply due to his ego ¨C what right did a woman in such a dire state have to break off the engagement with the Lin family and him? Lin Qiang wanted to see this woman cry and beg him. What he truly wanted was for her to beg him to marry her. Then, Lin Qiang would be the one to break it off with Ning Ruxing just so that he could get his revenge and reclaim his pride. But Ning Ruxing was indifferent and didn¡¯t care about these things at all. Since the engagement had already been broken off, there was no need for her to be with such trash. With indifference, Ning Ruxing said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t think we¡¯re compatible.¡± With that, Ning Ruxing was about to walk past Lin Qiang and end everything as soon as possible. Lin Qiang was anticipating Ning Ruxing to kneel and beg him after his offer to her, perhaps behave as if she was on the verge of death. So when Ning Ruxing attempted to leave, Lin Qiang became even angrier. He grabbed Ning Ruxing¡¯s wrist and shouted angrily at her. ¡°Ning Ruxing, don¡¯t hesitate until you end up being forced.¡± Ning Ruxing was growing impatient. She had clearly dissuaded him as politely as possible. But Lin Qiang was still unwilling to let things go. Moreover, the engagement had already been broken off, so what was the point of saying any of these now? Ning Ruxing wouldn¡¯t turn back to beg the Lin family, nor would she look down on Lin Qiang. Just as Ning Ruxing was about to say something, a steady but sharp voice came from behind them. ¡°How dare you touch one of my people?¡± The person who walked over was Jin Yebei. His face was frighteningly gloomy. He didn¡¯t want to come looking for her at first, but Ning Ruxing had been out for so long and hadn¡¯t returned. Jin Yebei couldn¡¯t help but worry. And as soon as he came out, he witnessed this scene, especially right at the moment Lin Qiang wanted to make a move. When Lin Qiang saw that it was Jin Yebei, he immediately let go of Ning Ruxing¡¯s hand and said with a smile, ¡°Chairman Jin, it¡¯s all a misunderstanding.¡± How could Jin Yebei believe Lin Qiang¡¯s words? Jin Yebei had seen everything with his own eyes but LIn Qiang still said it was a misunderstanding. Did he think Jin Yebei was blind? Jin Yebei didn¡¯t care about much, except for Ning Ruxing. So whoever dared to touch her was courting death. Jin Yebei scoffed and coldly said, ¡°There¡¯s no misunderstanding. I saw everything.¡± Chapter 22 - Youre Not Eating Anymore? Chapter 22 You¡¯re Not Eating Anymore? Jin Yebei stepped forward and pulled Ning Ruxing to his side. He didn¡¯t give Lin Qiang any other chances to do anything and strode away with Ning Ruxing. When he saw Jin Yebei leave with Ning Ruxing, Lin Qiang put away the smile on his face and his face instantly became extremely cold. He gritted his teeth and looked at the back of the two people leaving so resolutely, wishing he could swallow them alive. Jin Yebei walked away with Ning Ruxing and she started to feel a little worried. She was afraid that because of her, Jin Yebei and the Lin family would become enemies. The Lin family¡¯s power was no less than Sen Ran¡¯s. This would make it difficult for Jin Yebei to do business in the future. When they stopped at the door, Ning Ruxing asked, ¡°Chairman, are you not eating?¡± Jin Yebei sneered. He never liked to interact with the Lin family. The only reason he came today was that he didn¡¯t want the Lin family to say that he was too difficult to deal with. Now that he had agreed to the meeting and laid things out on the table for all parties, no one would dare talk business with him when he wasn¡¯t willing to. Not to mention, seeing Lin Qiang treat Ning Ruxing like this made him even angrier. Jin Yebei calmly said, ¡°I didn¡¯t want to eat in the first place, and I don¡¯t have much of an appetite now thanks to that old fox.¡± Jin Yebei took Ning Ruxing to the car and asked the driver to inform their departure to the father and son of the Lin family. After all, he still had to show some courtesy. Otherwise, people would say that the chairman of such a big company was not polite at all. The driver followed Jin Yebei¡¯s instructions and found the private room. He pushed the door open and said, ¡°I¡¯m very sorry, but our Chairman Jin is not feeling well. He¡¯ll be leaving first. ¡°Chairman Jin thanks you for your warm hospitality, Chairman Lin.¡± Lin Wanbiao¡¯s face immediately turned ashen when he heard these words. Lin Qiang, who knew the reason, lowered his head and didn¡¯t dare to say a word. If Lin Wanbiao knew that his son had made the situation worse, he would definitely beat Lin Qiang to death. Jin Yebei and Ning Ruxing sat in the back of the car as they made their way back. Along the way, Ning Ruxing felt like she was sitting on a needle carpet. Fortunately, Jin Yebei didn¡¯t ask what happened between her and Lin Qiang. Instead, he asked, ¡°Did you eat your fill just now? ¡°Are you coming with me to eat more or are you going back to the dormitory?¡± Ning Ruxing was also a little embarrassed. She was here to meet a client, but things ended up like this, causing some estrangement between Jin Yebei and the Lin family. But how could Ning Ruxing anticipate Lin Qiang daring to hit her in public? Fortunately, Jin Yebei appeared in time. Ning Ruxing was embarrassed to spend Jin Yebei¡¯s money, so she quickly said, ¡°Chairman, if it¡¯s not too inconvenient for you, I¡¯ll go back to my dormitory. You can just send me to the subway nearby.¡± However, Jin Yebei didn¡¯t agree. He insisted on sending Ning Ruxing directly to her dormitory. They were already in the car, so why take the subway? It wasn¡¯t like Jin Yebei couldn¡¯t afford gas and it wasn¡¯t too far away. Moreover, he could stay with her for a while longer. When they arrived, Jin Yebei waited for Ning Ruxing to get off the car before saying, ¡°Have a good rest tomorrow. See you on Monday.¡± Ning Ruxing looked at the perfect face in the car. His side profile was so handsome too. Even though she had spent most of her time looking at him for the past two days, she was still shocked. She didn¡¯t know how God could give people such a perfect face. He was simply too devilish. Hearing Jin Yebei¡¯s words, Ning Ruxing nodded and said softly,¡±See you on Monday.¡± Jin Yebei rolled up the window and instructed the driver to leave. Ning Ruxing¡¯s dormmate, Nana, was just coming back from the outside when she saw the luxury car passing by, dropping off Ning Ruxing, before driving off. She immediately walked up to Ning Ruxing full of excitement. In the past few years of college, she had never seen Ning Ruxing close to any boy. This was like an iron tree blooming with flowers. Nana eagerly asked, ¡°Oh, Ruxing, who was that?¡± Ning Ruxing saw Nana¡¯s expression and knew that there must have been a misunderstanding. After all, Ning Ruxing had never been too close to anyone all these years. Other than her roommates, she only went to the library and didn¡¯t give anyone a chance to approach her. Now that she suddenly got out of a luxury car, it would naturally make people think the wrong way, so Ning Ruxing frankly said, ¡°It was Chairman Jin Yebei.¡± Nana had wanted to continue teasing her, but when she heard Ning Ruxing¡¯s words, she was so surprised that she was speechless. She regretted walking so slowly because if she had walked faster, she might have been able to see the real deal. Just thinking about it made Nana very excited. She wanted to turn back time. ¡°Wow, that¡¯s amazing. You¡¯re seeing him at work normally and also on rest days, going on dates! ¡°The next time we meet, it won¡¯t be Chairman Jin, but Ning Ruxing¡¯s husband.¡± Chapter 23 - Sorry to Make You Spend Chapter 23 Sorry to Make You Spend Hearing Nana¡¯s words, Ning Ruxing¡¯s face suddenly turned red and the tips of her ears felt a little hot. These words could not be spoken carelessly. If word got out, it would not be a good thing for Ning Ruxing and Jin Yebei. Ning Ruxing anxiously said to Nana, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. We¡¯re just working.¡± Nana looked at Ning Ruxing¡¯s expression but wasn¡¯t fooled. It was a weekend, so why was she working? Yesterday was only Ruxing¡¯s second day at work, and she already had to work overtime on the weekend? Only a ghost would know. Even if they were working overtime, they should let the old employees do it and not the new employees. Nana said to Ning Ruxing in disbelief, ¡°Don¡¯t try to lie to me, I¡¯m not stupid. ¡°You¡¯re already working overtime on the weekend? ¡°Sen Ran is such a big company. They won¡¯t exploit their employees like this.¡± Ning Ruxing started to feel helpless. She had clearly told Jin Yebei not to give her a ride back to the dormitory, but he just wouldn¡¯t listen. Now, she had been misunderstood by her roommate. If any bad rumors were to spread, it would be really terrible. She didn¡¯t do anything, but she had to bear the crime? Ning Ruxing looked at Nana again and helplessly said, ¡°Nana, do you think Jin Yebei will be taken down so easily?¡± ¡°We¡¯ve only known each other for two days and you think he wants to go on a date with me?¡± Nana felt that Ning Ruxing¡¯s words also made some sense. Jin Yebei was so handsome and he had seen all kinds of women. How could he be so easily won over by Ning Ruxing? Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t bother to explain any more. She hadn¡¯t even had a good meal and was still a little hungry. She picked up her phone and was about to order takeaway, but the phone rang. It was an unknown number. As soon as she picked up the phone, she heard a shout from the other side. ¡°Ning Ruxing, your take-out is here!¡± When Ning Ruxing heard this, she was a little dumbfounded. She was just about to order some takeaway, but it had already arrived? She hadn¡¯t even thought of what to eat yet! Could this person have called the wrong number? If that¡¯s the case, she would have to make things clear. She couldn¡¯t be the cause of delivery delay for another customer and cause the delivery company to get a bad review. Ning Ruxing asked,¡±I didn¡¯t order any takeaway. Did you call the wrong number?¡± When the delivery man heard Ning Ruxing¡¯s question, he was also a little dumbfounded. There was a lot of food in this meal. If this was the wrong order, the delivery man couldn¡¯t afford to pay for it. He quickly found the order list and looked at it carefully. After confirming that there he had followed the instructions, he suddenly became a little impatient. There were still so many takeaways to be delivered. ¡°Is the ending number of your phone 8888?¡± Ning Ruxing heard the last few numbers and confirmed that there was no mistake. In the end, she received two huge takeaway bags. But she was still dumbfounded. She had clearly not ordered anything yet, so why did she get a delivery, and a big one too? When she looked at the order list attached, her phone number and name were clearly and correctly written on it. Ning Ruxing brought the takeaway back to the dormitory and found that there was a barbecue meal set inside enough for six people. Who on earth had ordered this? At this time, she received a message from Jin Yebei. [Have you received the takeaway?] That was when all the puzzles fit together. Jin Yebei was the one who had ordered the take-out. But why did he order it? Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t mention anything about being hungry, which surprised her. Could it be that Jin Yebei could read minds? Otherwise, how could he know what Ning Ruxing was thinking? Ning Ruxing replied. (Chairman, did you order take-out for me?] Jin Yebei looked at Ning Ruxing¡¯s message and smiled. He knew that she hadn¡¯t eaten anything at the restaurant earlier, which was why he was planning to take her out for a meal as they were leaving. But since Ning Ruxing was embarrassed and wanted to just go back to her dormitory, he decided to order takeaway for her. (That¡¯s right. I know you¡¯re embarrassed to eat with me again, so I ordered takeaway for you.] (Save your words for later, or you might not have anything to eat the next time you go out with me!) [I don¡¯t know what you like to eat, so I ordered a portion of everything that looked good for you. You should be able to eat it now.) Ning Ruxing looked at the small mountain of vegetables and four big barrels of iced fruit juice. It was a little incredulous. Did Jin Yebei think she was a pig? A few of her roommates were excitedly opening the packages by now, especially Nana. She was a foodie after all. Her eyes were already shining as she excitedly said, ¡°Ruxing, you¡¯re too kind.¡± ¡°Is this to celebrate your successful employment? Are you treating us to roast meat?¡± Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment. She originally wanted to treat him, but he treated her instead. Ning Ruxing looked at the food on the table, picked up the phone, and quickly replied to Jin Yebei. (Chairman Jin, thank you for the treat.] Chapter 24 - Is the Salary Very High? Chapter 24 Is the Salary Very High? Seeing that Jin Yebei didn¡¯t reply, Ning Ruxing quickly prepared to eat. The innkeeper considerately gave them a barbecue machine. They plugged it in and turned the air conditioner to maximum power. They got to eat more for such a sumptuous dinner. Nana put some meat on the pan and suddenly asked Ning Ruxing, ¡°Ruxing, is Sen Ran¡¯s salary high? You¡¯re already so generous during your internship.¡± Ning Ruxing was stunned for a moment. When she was about to be employed by Sen Ran, she had never asked about the salary. She had even promised Jin Yebei that she didn¡¯t need a salary, just so she could study Jin Yebei. Now that her roommate had asked her this question, Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t know how to answer. In the end, she decided to be frank. ¡°I didn¡¯t ask. Why?¡± Hearing Ning Ruxing¡¯s words, Nana looked at her as if she was looking at an idiot. How could she not ask about her salary when she was working? If that were the case, they would be able to get whatever they wanted and would definitely squeeze out her salary. She really did not know how little Ruxing survived. Nana shook her head and said, ¡°Ruxing, do you know this take-out brand? It¡¯s the king of the barbecue industry. ¡°If we go to the restaurant, it¡¯ll cost about 500 per person. ¡°Which means that the food on our table will cost about 2000 yuan.¡± To her roommates, Ning Ruxing was usually very frugal. She had never bought branded cosmetics, clothes, or bags. They all thought that Ning Ruxing was just a child from an ordinary family. Ordering such a table of barbecue was really a bit expensive. Still, Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t think much about it and said, ¡°In order to get into Sen Ran, I told Chairman Jin that I could go on a probationary period first and that I wouldn¡¯t be paid for the first month. So, I didn¡¯t ask for the exact amount.¡± Nana originally thought that little Ruxing was just a little stupid, but after hearing Ning Ruxing¡¯s words, she realized that Ning Ruxing was an idiot. If the other party didn¡¯t want to pay her salary and asked her to leave when the time limit was up, wouldn¡¯t that be terrible for Ning Ruxing? Nana poked Ning Ruxing¡¯s forehead and resentfully said, ¡°Little Ruxing, are you stupid? ¡°Who would work early and stay up late at night without a salary?¡± Ning Ruxing could only smile naively. Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t go to Sen Ran for the salary. She was still young and just wanted to study well by Jin Yebei¡¯s side. It was already a good thing that Jin Yebei didn¡¯t despise Ning Ruxing for her young age and stupid brain. Ning Ruxing had always been grateful for the opportunity Jin Yebei had given her. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Sen Ran is such a big company. They won¡¯t owe me such a small amount of money.¡± With that, Ning Ruxin served some food to her roommates, and eventually, their feast ended. The dormitory mates were exhausted and went back to bed. They touched their full bellies and didn¡¯t want to eat anything else. Nana lay on the bed and watched TV on her phone. Suddenly, she sat up and said loudly to her roommates who were still lying flat. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, look at the class group chat. They¡¯re saying that there¡¯s a super handsome exchange student coming to our class on Monday. ¡°It¡¯s said that he¡¯s so handsome that he can become a star!¡± The other two roommates who were lying flat heard Nana and immediately sat up. They took out their phones and started to look through the class group chat. Only Ning Ruxing was still lying flat and using her phone to look at some project materials. Nothing was more important to Ning Ruxing than to get money. At this time, Ning Ruxing¡¯s phone rang. It was a call from the university tutor. Ning Ruxing quickly picked it up. During her university years, the tutor had always been good to Ning Ruxing, so she usually did her best to complete whatever the tutor assigned her. When she picked up the phone, she heard the tutor¡¯s kind voice on the other side. ¡°Ruxing, come to the office now.¡± Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t say much and agreed. She got up and changed her clothes. Her previous clothes were already filled with the smell of barbecue. Ning Ruxing changed into a short-sleeved shirt and jeans before heading went directly to the tutor¡¯s office. She wondered why the tutor suddenly called for her. When Ning Ruxing reached the door and pushed it open, she saw a familiar figure. That person turned around and smiled at Ning Ruxing with an evil charm. The tutor saw Ning Ruxing and said with a smile,¡±Ruxing, this is Lin Qiang, an exchange student who transferred from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Starting from Monday, Lin Qiang will be a part of our class and will study here. Can you take him around to familiarize him with the school?¡± Chapter 25 - I Didnt Bring My Handphone Chapter 25 I Didn¡¯t Bring My Handphone Ning Ruxing looked at Lin Qiang, her face dark. Why was this guy always haunting her? And unfortunately, the tutor did not notice any abnormality in Ning Ruxing¡¯s behavior. But Ling Qiang did, and he felt proud about it, though he remembered to keep his gentle and polite facade. ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble you then. ¡°I heard from the tutor that you¡¯re his best student. ¡°Indeed, the best students are just like you. They¡¯re good to look at.¡± When Ning Ruxing heard Lin Qiang¡¯s words, it was as if she had eaten a fly. She felt very disgusted, but the tutor was present, so Ning Ruxing couldn¡¯t say much. Moreover, she was already here and couldn¡¯t refuse, so Ning Ruxing said coldly, ¡°You¡¯re too modest. Let¡¯s go now.¡± Lin Qiang was very happy in his heart. The main purpose of his return this time was to deal with Ning Ruxing. If it wasn¡¯t for his father¡¯s obstruction, Lin Qiang would have made things difficult for the Ning family as soon as he came back. But now, he found that it was more interesting to take it slow. With a hint of evilness, Lin Qiang said, ¡°Dear classmate, let me add you on WeChat. I¡¯ll need your help in many ways in the future.¡± Ning Ruxing thought of the things Lin Qiang did in the restaurant today. Ning Ruxing knew that Lin Qiang, this bastard, had ulterior motives. She didn¡¯t want to tell Lin Qiang her WeChat so instead, she coldly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t bring my phone with me!¡± But Lin Qiang¡¯s face didn¡¯t show any dissatisfaction. He just had to approach Ning Ruxing slowly and finally make Ning Ruxing kneel on the ground, begging him to marry her. Then, Lin Qiang would forcefully kick Ning Ruxing away. ¡°You didn¡¯t take your phone? Oh well, you can give me your phone number first. I¡¯ll add you now, and you¡¯ll be able to accept me as a friend when I get back.¡± Ning Ruxing¡¯s expression grew colder and colder. Why was he so persistent? She had already tried to be polite to him by saying this. However, in front of the tutor, she couldn¡¯t say things that were too insulting, so Ning Ruxing said coldly, ¡°I can¡¯t remember my phone number.¡± The tutor was puzzled by Ning Ruxing¡¯s behavior. She wasn¡¯t usually like this. Could it be that the two of them knew each other before this? Otherwise, why would they treat each other like this? Lin Qiang said to the tutor, ¡°Tutor, you must have student Ning¡¯s phone number.¡± Of course, the tutor had one. He had called Ning Ruxing in front of Lin Qiang just now. And since Lin Qiang had asked, the tutor had to give Lin Qiang Ning Ruxing¡¯s phone number. Once Lin Qiang had added her as a friend, he said with a smile, ¡°Classmate, don¡¯t forget to add me when you go back. You¡¯ve worked hard.¡± Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t say anything as her facial expression grew colder and colder. She never thought that Lin Qiang would pester her like this. Since things had already come to this, Ning Ruxing could only bring Lin Qiang out and point a few times coldly. ¡°That¡¯s the classroom, that¡¯s the canteen, and that¡¯s the bathroom. Download the school¡¯s app, there¡¯s an introduction and a map of the school. Have a look yourself.¡± But Lin Qiang didn¡¯t listen to what Ning Ruxing said at all. What he needed to do now was to change Ning Ruxing¡¯s attitude towards him and let people who didn¡¯t know the truth think that Ning Ruxing liked him. ¡°Ruxing, I¡¯m not that bad. Look at those students, they¡¯re all looking at us with envy.¡± As the two of them walked through campus, they appeared as very good-looking people with well-proportioned figures, so they naturally attracted the attention of many people. There was already some distance between the two, but when Ning Ruxing heard Lin Qiang¡¯s words, she walked even further away. Lin Qiang said with a bitter smile,Ruxing, I don¡¯t know what I¡¯ve done to make you unhappy. ¡°But I think you should let me explain it once.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t even know me, how could you reject me so innocently? ¡°This is also a form of harm to me.¡± Lin Qiang¡¯s words sounded sincere, but Ning Ruxing knew that it was just Lin Qiang¡¯s pretense. Ning Ruxing would not fall for it. She glanced at Lin Qiang and said indifferently, ¡°How do you know that I haven¡¯t tried to find out? ¡°Whether or not we¡¯re suitable, you can already tell at a glance. ¡°Moreover, Lin Qiang, it was your parents who agreed to break off the engagement back then ¡°It¡¯s been so many years, and you¡¯re still pestering me. It¡¯s meaningless. When Lin Qiang heard Ning Ruxing¡¯s words, a touch of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. As long as he could take revenge on Ning Ruxing, everything else didn¡¯t matter. Lin Qiang pretended to be aggrieved as he said, ¡°I didn¡¯t agree! ¡°No matter what, this is between the two of us. ¡°What would I think of you if you do this?¡± Chapter 26 - She Doesnt Like You Chapter 26 She Doesn¡¯t Like You Ning Ruxing was getting very impatient. The Lin family had clearly agreed to break off the engagement, but they still let this trash Lin Qiang come to harass her. It was too annoying. Ning Ruxing looked at Lin Qiang and firmly said, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll reject you once more! ¡°Lin Qiang, we¡¯re not suitable for each other. Do you understand? Just give up.¡± Lin Qiang¡¯s face instantly darkened. Ning Ruxing dared to reject him again, and this time it was in public. There were so many people around. Lin Qiang looked at Ning Ruxing angrily as he sarcastically said, ¡°I¡¯m not worthy? Then who would be suitable? Jin Yebei? ¡°Stop daydreaming. Why would Jin Yebei like you? ¡°I¡¯m afraid Jin Yebei still doesn¡¯t know that you¡¯re the little princess of the Ning family, right? ¡°Do you know that what you¡¯re doing right now makes you a corporate spy? A spy!¡± Hearing the words ¡®corporate spy¡¯, Ning Ruxing was stunned for a moment. However, she knew that she was not a spy at all, and she had not done anything wrong. She just wanted to learn from Jin Yebei. Ning Ruxing said coldly, ¡®Then tell Jin Yebei who I am. Goodbye!¡± Since they couldn¡¯t get along, Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t want to waste any more words on Lin Qiang. Ning Ruxing sped up and planned to leave. The setting sun shone on Ning Ruxing¡¯s body, leaving a long shadow. Lin Qiang looked at her and clenched his fist. Of course, Lin Qiang wouldn¡¯t tell on Ning Ruxing. He had already inquired about it. Ning Ruxing had just joined the company and hadn¡¯t touched the core of the company. Even if he told Jin Yebei now, she would only be fired. After a while, Ning Ruxing would be involved in Jin Yebei¡¯s core. By then, Lin Qiang would be able to manipulate Ning Ruxing at will. Thinking of this, Lin Qiang revealed a sinister smile. ¡°There¡¯s nothing I can¡¯t get if I want it, Ning Ruxing!¡± Ning Ruxing returned to the dormitory and looked at the friend request on WeChat. She was instantly furious and immediately deleted the friend request. She would never add Lin Qiang as a friend and did not want to have anything to do with the Lin family. After dealing with Lin Qiang¡¯s friend request, she saw the message sent by the tutor. (Ruxing, did you and Lin Qiang know each other before? Is there a misunderstanding?) Ning Ruxing smiled helplessly. There wasn¡¯t any misunderstanding between her and Lin Qiang. It was Lin Qiang who kept pestering her. They had made it clear that the engagement had been broken, but Lin Qiang was still so shameless. Ning Ruxing quickly typed a reply. [I¡¯m sorry, tutor.] (I knew Lin Qiang before. Lin Qiang was once engaged to me, but the engagement has been broken off.) Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t have anything to hide. Saying it directly could avoid some misunderstandings and embarrassment as much as possible in the future. Lin Qiang also didn¡¯t want to force Ning Ruxing to do something she didn¡¯t want to do through the tutor. The tutor saw Ning Ruxing¡¯s message and replied. [I see!) (Ruxing, I¡¯m very sorry. I didn¡¯t know that you¡¯ve suffered today.) Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t take it seriously. Anyway, it was good to talk things out. After dealing with these things, Ning Ruxing took out a figure skating costume from her closet, wiped the decorations on it with a wet wipe, and hung it on the balcony. The clothes were made of expensive materials and had some diamonds as embellishments, so they couldn¡¯t be ironed. They could only hang naturally to be smoothened out. Tomorrow was the final competition, and as long as they won, they would get a prize worth hundreds of thousands. Although it wasn¡¯t a lot, little drops make a mountain, and it was also the source of Ning Ruxing¡¯s little gold vault. Every year, Ning Ruxing would participate in all the big and small competitions in the capital, just to get the last bit of prize money. Her roommates weren¡¯t interested in this area, thinking that Ning Ruxing liked it and had signed up for classes outside. In order to participate in the competition, Ning Ruxing washed up early and went to bed. The next day, when her alarm rang, she got up, packed up, and left the dormitory. This way, she wouldn¡¯t disturb her roommates¡¯ sweet dreams. Ning Ruxing had spent her days like this for the past few years. The competition venue was relatively remote, and there was a traffic jam on Sundays, so Ning Ruxing woke up early to not be late. Although the prize money wasn¡¯t much, something was always better than nothing. Ning Ruxing would never allow herself to miss the prize money due to tardiness! Chapter 27 - Im Not Fat Chapter 27 I¡¯m Not Fat Shiraj had been waiting in his car at the dormitory building for a long time. When Ning Ruxing got in the car, Shiraj was still yawning. Ning Ruxing gave Shiraj a portion of the breakfast she had bought and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did you play all night again?¡± Shiraj was a little embarrassed. He rarely did this in the past, but this time, he had woken up too early. Moreover, he had to admit that he was old. Shiraj waved his hand and said faintly,¡±No, it¡¯s just that I¡¯m old and my body is a little weak.¡± Ning Ruxing ate the breakfast in her hand and drank a mouthful of hot soy milk. How old was Shiraj? How dare he say that he was old? Ning Ruxing said bluntly,¡±How old are you? You¡¯re not even thirty.¡± Shiraj turned a little embarrassed. In fact, there had been no problem before, but for some reason, he was getting weaker and weaker these two days, as if his body had been hollowed out. Shiraj said, ¡°Boss, you don¡¯t know. It¡¯s normal for the body of men over thirty years old to go downhill.¡± When Ning Ruxing heard this, she couldn¡¯t help but think of a certain person who always looked full of energy. She didn¡¯t know if he was thirty years old or not. Shiraj looked at Ning Ruxing through the rearview mirror and said jokingly,¡±Eat less, you¡¯ve put on weight. Look at your little belly.¡± Hearing this, Ning Ruxing immediately narrowed her eyes. Wasn¡¯t Shiraj weak? He dared to say that she was fat? ¡°It seems that I have to teach Shiraj a lesson when I have time,¡± said Ning Ruxing. ¡°I¡¯m not fat. ¡°Drive properly if you want your bonus.¡± Many athletes didn¡¯t eat before a game, but Ning Ruxing never stopped eating. If she was hungry, she wouldn¡¯t be able to skate. So before a game, she had to eat her fill to perform well. Ning Ruxing lowered her head to look at her stomach. She was indeed a little fatter than before. Perhaps she had eaten too much roasted meat yesterday, but this was nothing. Ning Ruxing was 171 cm tall and only weighed about 50 kg. Her small stomach did not seem too much of an issue. Shiraj sent Ning Ruxing to the competition venue and left immediately. He wanted to go back and get some sleep. The competition would not end until the afternoon. Ning Ruxing walked in and when she passed the parking lot, she saw a familiar Bentley. The color was exactly the same. If she had not seen Shiraj driving away, Ning Ruxing would have suspected that it was her car. Ning Ruxing couldn¡¯t help but wonder if this car model was very popular recently. Otherwise, why would there be so many people buying? Ning Ruxing walked into the venue and saw a familiar staff member. She greeted him along the way, then went backstage to change and put on makeup. In the waiting area, a girl who was three years younger than Ning Ruxing started to tremble because of nervousness. Ning Ruxing, who often participated in all kinds of competitions, didn¡¯t know how to be nervous at all. She even took out her phone and casually scrolled through the internet as the broadcast speaker called her name. ¡°Contestant number forty-one, Ning Xing.¡± This was a nickname given by her coach. Like many celebrities, they used stage names. Ning Ruxing checked her ice skates. There was no problem. Her movements were as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water as she slid into the competition ground. She held her head high and her chest out. As soon as she entered the venue, she heard the cheers of the audience. All these years of participating in all sorts of competitions, big and small, had given Ning Ruxing a group of fans. In the world of figure skating, Ning Xing was a little famous. Ning Ruxing also felt that there was a special gaze on her. The gaze came from the VIP seats in the audience, usually occupied by big shots and sponsors of the competition. Although Ning Ruxing felt it, in order not to affect the competition, she ignored the gaze. After all, it was the finals and she couldn¡¯t be distracted at all. Even a single waver could affect the final score. Ning Ruxing was like a dancing butterfly on stage, very agile and in high spirits. Ning Ruxing completed her routine perfectly without any mistakes. She stopped in the middle of the field and bowed slowly. At this time, she looked in the direction of the gaze just now and was stunned. It was Jin Yebei. The audience also threw the dolls in their hands onto the stage. This was the rule of this industry. The audience could throw the dolls in their hands to the contestants they liked. Ning Ruxing was dazed for a few seconds in the rain of dolls. Chapter 28 - Ning Xing, Little Star? Chapter 28 Ning Xing, Little Star? Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t expect to see an acquaintance here. After all, the sports attire and some movements were a little embarrassing in front of acquaintances. Because of this, Ning Ruxing had never told anyone to watch her games. However, it was such a coincidence that she ran into Jin Yebei. It seemed that Jin Yebei might be one of the sponsors of this competition. Ning Ruxing calmed herself and did not panic. Anyway, she was so far away and she had heavy makeup on. Jin Yebei should not be able to recognize her. So what if he did? The one competing here was Ning Xing, what did it have to do with her, Ning Ruxing? With this thought, Ning Ruxing calmly returned to the changing room. However, she didn¡¯t know that Jin Yebei¡¯s eyes had been silently looking at Ning Ruxing the entire time. With a playful smile on his face, he muttered to himself, ¡°Ning Xing? Little Star?¡± But then, he immediately frowned. The tight-fitting sportswear showed off the girl¡¯s tall and perfect figure. Such a beautiful Ning Ruxing displayed herself in front of so many people. Her figure was no longer privy to him. Jin Yebei suddenly felt a little jealous. He waved his assistant over and whispered a few words. Several workers of the venue skated on the rink with sacks and quickly picked up the dolls that had been thrown. If they didn¡¯t clean them up now, it would affect the contestants later on. Moreover, these dolls would all go to Ning Ruxing. Every time Ning Ruxing competed, she would receive a lot of dolls. Some of them were sold directly to video game centers for six yuan while others were sent to be donated to orphanages. Ning Ruxing returned backstage and sat for a while before the staff let her go. An organizer¡¯s assistant jogged over to Ning Ruxing and draped a wool shawl over her body. Ning Ruxing had participated in so many competitions, but she had never received such treatment. She immediately asked with a face full of doubt, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± The assistant didn¡¯t know how to explain for a moment. In any case, he was just following orders. No matter what, he had to make Ning Ruxing wear the shawl. ¡°You can just wear it. ¡°The sponsor said that the ice is too cold and we can¡¯t let our contestants freeze.¡± When Ning Ruxing heard this, she was even more confused. Why was the sponsor so concerned about the contestants for no reason? None of the sponsors had said that in past competitions, so Ning Ruxing said with a confused face,¡±It¡¯s summer now, so it¡¯s not cold. I¡¯m used to it.¡± The assistant saw that Ning Ruxing was about to take the shawl off and he quickly put it back on for her. The boss had told him that if Ning Ruxing caught a cold, there would be no more sponsors next time, so the assistant said with embarrassment. ¡°Please don¡¯t decline, just wear it. ¡°When you receive the award later, wear this too.¡± Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t like to make things difficult for others, and this assistant didn¡¯t look very old. After all, it was a request from the sponsor, so Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t say anything more and obediently put on the shawl. When it was time for her to receive the award, Ning Ruxing was the only one who had a shawl. The prize money would be transferred to Ning Ruxing¡¯s bank account within three days. Ning Ruxing, who had participated in so many competitions, no longer cared about her ranking. As long as she performed as usual, she would easily enter the top three. And as long as she entered the top three, she would receive a prize money. After taking the photos and receiving the trophy, Ning Ruxing took a taxi back to school. It had been a tiring day so she wanted to go to bed early. When she woke up on Monday, she had classes in the morning. It was only in the afternoon that Ning Ruxing went to work at Sen Ran. She was still worried that Jin Yebei would ask her about the ice-skating competition. But Jin Yebei had been busy with his work. Even when he looked at Ning Ruxing, he acted as usual. Ning Ruxing suddenly let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that Jin Yebei didn¡¯t recognize her yesterday. At this time, Jin Yebei suddenly said, ¡°Ning Ruxing, help me make a copy of my ID.¡± Ning Ruxing immediately stood up and walked over. Holding the ID card, she subconsciously looked at Jin Yebei¡¯s birthday. She found that Jin Yebei was only twenty-nine years old this year, eight years older than her. She couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°He¡¯s so young¡­¡± Jin Yebei heard what Ning Ruxing said, but he didn¡¯t hear it clearly. Could it be that the little girl had some questions about his identity card? Or had the little girl already discovered something? Jin Yebei raised his head and asked Ning Ruxing. ¡°What did you just say?¡± Chapter 29 - Full of Energy Chapter 29 Full of Energy Hearing Jin Yebei¡¯s words, Ning Ruxing immediately shook her head and blushed. She took her ID card and was about to make a copy. When she reached the door, she suddenly realized she needed to know how many copies he wanted. ¡°Chairman Jin, how many copies do you want?¡± Jin Yebei looked at Ning Ruxing¡¯s little head sticking through the door with a silly and cute face. He almost laughed out loud, but he managed to maintain his cold demeanor. He should act like a chairman. Jin Yebei said, ¡°Three sets.¡± Hearing this, Ning Ruxing shouted ¡®Yes, sir¡¯ and then ran out. Jin Yebei¡¯s mouth revealed a smile the moment she was gone. Ning Ruxing was always full of energy which gave off a good feeling. Ning Ruxing immediately came back with the copies and a cup of iced coffee in her hand. She put them on Jin Yebei¡¯s desk and when the latter saw, he asked, ¡°Where did you get the coffee?¡±. When she went down to make the copies, Kevin gave her the coffee, saying that it was for her. Ning Ruxing wanted to refuse, but Kevin insisted. So Ning Ruxing could only accept it. Now that Jin Yebei asked, simply said, ¡°Kevin gave it to me as a treat. ¡°But I ate a little too much at noon and can¡¯t drink anymore. So I thought I¡¯d give it to you.¡± After saying that, Ning Ruxing returned to her desk. Jin Yebei¡¯s face instantly darkened. This Kevin actually wanted to hit on her. Jin Yebei picked up the phone on his desk and called Kevin. ¡°Come up.¡± On the other end of the phone, Kevin¡¯s heart trembled when he heard Jin Yebei¡¯s cold voice. He didn¡¯t think he had done anything wrong today. Kevin immediately stood up and nervously went to Jin Yebei¡¯s office. When he got close, he saw the coffee on Jin Yebei¡¯s desk and was obviously stunned. Jin Yebei never drank coffee with sugar. Besides, this coffee looked familiar. It was the coffee with sugar and milk that he ordered for Ning Ruxing. Jin Yebei took a sip in front of Kevin and said, ¡°Why did you make three mistakes in the report you submitted this morning? ¡°How could you make such a low-level mistake? ¡°A thousand yuan will be deducted from your salary this month.¡± What? A thousand? Kevin suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. How many cups of coffee could a thousand yuan buy? Kevin sneaked a glance at Ning Ruxing and found that she was working seriously with no coffee on her table. Jin Yebei saw that Kevin still dared to look at Ning Ruxing, so he asked coldly, ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Kevin immediately turned his head, not daring to look around again. He didn¡¯t expect the coffee for Ning Ruxing to fall into the hands of the Chairman. Moreover, the Chairman seemed to be particularly angry. Kevin didn¡¯t think much about it and immediately admitted his mistake. ¡°No, nothing. Chairman, I was wrong. It¡¯s my negligence. I¡¯ll go back and fix it immediately.¡± Jin Yebei nodded in satisfaction. Kevin immediately left the place. Jin Yebeils aura was too strong. Kevin was afraid that if he stayed there for another minute, the Chairman might deduct even more of his salary. Before he left, he heard Jin Yebei say, ¡°Ning Ruxing, come here.¡± Although Ning Ruxing had been working just now, she had heard how Jin Yebei punished Kevin. Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t want her pay to be deducted, so she immediately stood up and walked to Jin Yebei¡¯s desk. ¡°Yes, sir?¡± ¡°Do you know how to do a PowerPoint?¡± Ning Ruxing nodded. Although she hadn¡¯t graduated yet, she had done some part-time jobs before, so of course she knew how to make PowerPoint slides, and she did them well. Seeing Ning Ruxing nod, Jin Yebei immediately said, ¡°I¡¯ll send you this information. Make it into a PowerPoint. If you don¡¯t know anything, ask me. I can teach you.¡± Ning Ruxing laughed. She had come to work here to learn from Jin Yebei, and now she had the chance. Kevin, who had not left yet, widened his eyes in shock. Jin Yebei had always been cold, but he had never spoken to anyone in such a gentle tone. Moreover, this kind of PowerPoint presentation was usually done by others. Jin Yebei would never do it himself, let alone teach a newbie. Was this all a dream? No one would believe him even if he told them. Jin Yebei¡¯s original intention was to show off and make Ning Ruxing admire him and fall in love with him. After all, Ning Ruxing was just an intern. Even if she knew how to do it, she couldn¡¯t do it well. She had to come and ask him about something she didn¡¯t know. This way, he could show off and make Ning Ruxing admire him. Chapter 30 - Im Not Afraid Chapter 30 I¡¯m Not Afraid At this time, Jin Yebei was already fantasizing about how Ning Ruxing would come to him and ask him for advice and tutelage. Then, he would solve everything. How could she not admire him? But contrary to his expectations, Ning Ruxing returned to her desk and began to type quickly on the keyboard. Her movements were smooth and fluid as her eyes glowed with wisdom. Ning Ruxing stared at the computer, occasionally glancing at the documents. The whole process didn¡¯t slow down at all. In less than an hour, Ning Ruxing came to Jin Yebei¡¯s desk and said softly, ¡°Chairman Jin, the PowerPoint is ready. Please take a look.¡± After saying that, Ning Ruxing shook her sore fingers and a touch of pride appeared in her eyes. This kind of PowerPoint was really simple. For Ning Ruxing, it was no problem at all. Jin Yebei opened the file expressionlessly. Ning Ruxing¡¯s PowerPoint had more than twenty pages and each of them was well done, pleasing to the eye, and logical. This document was a slightly difficult one that Jin Yebei had especially found for Ning Ruxing to work on just so that she could ask him questions. Even though Kevin, Lisa, and the others were experienced, they couldn¡¯t have handled it so quickly in such a short time. Jin Yebei touched the coffee quietly, but it was still cold. He checked the PowerPoint a few times. Jin Yebei couldn¡¯t find a single mistake. He had originally wanted to give Ning Ruxing some guidance, but also he couldn¡¯t. There wasn¡¯t even a small mistake. Jin Yebei was silent for a moment, then said, ¡°Good, well done.¡± Ning Ruxing laughed at Jin Yebei¡¯s words. It seemed that she had set a good impression. Even the famous Jin Yebei couldn¡¯t find any mistakes. Ning Ruxing enjoyed the praise that belonged to her and said happily¡±Thank you, Chairman.¡± Jin Yebei couldn¡¯t sit still. How could this girl be so good? She didn¡¯t give him any chance at all and did it so perfectly. Wasn¡¯t this a slap in the face? In order to protect his dignity, Jin Yebei cleared his throat and said, ¡°In the future, if you don¡¯t know how to do it at work, just come and ask me directly. There¡¯s no need to be afraid.¡± When Ning Ruxing heard this, she was stunned for a moment. Scared? What was there to be afraid of? In broad daylight, Jin Yebei couldn¡¯t eat her. Besides, Ning Ruxing felt that those rumors were simply malicious to hurt Jin Yebei. Ning Ruxing didn¡¯t even think about it and said, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid.¡± Jin Yebei was stunned for a moment. All the employees in the company were more or less afraid when they saw him. Some of them would even hide far away. Jin Yebei raised his eyebrows and asked, ¡°You¡¯re not afraid?¡± Ning Ruxing shook her head. Of course, she wasn¡¯t afraid. Although she was a little scared before coming, after really getting to know Jin Yebei, Ning Ruxing felt that Jin Yebei was easy to get close to. Although he was always expressionless, Ning Ruxing said with a smile,¡±Of course I¡¯m not afraid. You¡¯re not a monster and you can¡¯t eat me. What do I have to be afraid of?¡± Hearing Ning Ruxing¡¯s words, Jin Yebei¡¯s mouth curved into a devilish smile. This girl was too bold and innocent. ¡®Little Xingxing, what Jin Yebei wants to do the most now is to eat you up.¡¯ ¡°I can¡¯t eat you? ¡°Are you sure? What if I can?¡± Hearing this, Ning Ruxing was stunned for a moment, but she quickly recovered and took it as a joke from Jin Yebei. Who was Jin Yebei? They all knew that Jin Yebei was never close to women. He was even cold and aloof. This was just a joke. However, she was also surprised that the cold and aloof Jin Yebei could make a joke. The golden python popped its head out from the glass and ran out, rubbing against Jin Yebei¡¯s hand to please him. When Ning Ruxing saw the golden python come out, she thought that it might have run out of food and came to ask for food from Jin Yebei. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t be so ingratiating. Ning Ruxing looked at the golden python and asked, ¡°Is there no more food?¡± Then, she looked at the golden python¡¯s bowl and found that there was still a lot of food and water in it. How could it have come out? Did the little one come out to please Jin Yebei? Jin Yebei saw Ning Ruxing¡¯s confusion and said,¡±¡®It¡¯s had enough of staying inside. ¡°After all, anyone would feel bored after staying in the same space for a long time. ¡°That¡¯s why it came out. It wanted to go out for a walk. ¡°Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t come out. Isn¡¯t it comfortable to eat and drink inside?¡±
