Qi Jiayou let out a scoff, "Aren't you willing to do anything?"
Yu Ziyue instantly became vigilant again. Unlike her previous easy agreement with the bodyguard, this man was a dangerous figure!
Could his requests be the same as the bodyguard's? She feared she wouldn't be able to handle them, and reasonably suspected that any casual request from him would skyrocket in difficulty for her!
Yu Ziyue cautiously glanced at him, then immediately lowered her head, "I can't do anything~"
Seeing his lack of reaction, Yu Ziyue felt uneasy, biting the tip of her little finger. "Actually, I can do a tiny bit, but mostly nothing..."
Why wasn't this man reacting at all? Yu Ziyue was a bit frantic. Was this the difference between an arm and a thigh?
No, it was the difference between sesame and watermelon!
Boss, could you please say something? Even a single word would be fine!
"Mm." Qi Jiayou observed her for a moment before finally responding.
But Yu Ziyue was truly despairing!
Her ears drooping, she said, "You go first." She didn't dare to agree to the boss's words outright; she just wanted to hear them!
Unexpectedly, a document appeared before her, and above it were long, well-defined hands. Even his hands were so good-looking!
Yu Ziyue's thoughts drifted again. Seeing the displeasure on Qi Jiayou's face, she quickly took it.
"What is this?" Could it be a contract selling herself?
That wouldn't do!
She wanted to return it.
"Take a look first." Qi Jiayou leaned back in his chair, lazily looking at the young woman.
No, I don't want to look. Never mind, for her beautiful house, she should at least glance at it. Maybe she could accept it?
Presidential Assistant? This salary!!
Yu Ziyue's eyes widened. No one in the hospital had wanted her these past few days. Other jobs offered incredibly low salaries, barely enough for her food and rent. She couldn't even buy many things!
She couldn't understand why the salaries were so low. Was this how it was for recent graduates?
She was contemplating that if she couldn't find anything else soon, she would just find any job to start with, at least to have food!
She never expected the presidential assistant's salary to be three times what she usually saw. Was it that tempting? Could she refuse?
No!
No matter what she had to do, she'd do it. They hadn't even made any demands, so she certainly wouldn't be picky.
"I can do it. I know many things. I can travel for business, negotiate collaborations, and properly arrange the President's schedule. So, this position is perfect for me!"
The money could only be hers.
Yi Ting felt that this woman truly didn't seem like someone planted by others. If she was faking it, she was far too skilled. Didn't she know there was more than one presidential assistant?
Someone like her, if it weren't for the coincidence of her timing and location, and her proximity to the president, how could she have landed this position so easily?
One should know that so many people scrambled and fought to get into this position. Someone like him, once they left, was recognized everywhere, holding a more respectable status than most company executives!
Yu Ziyue knew all this, but she was simply impressed by the salary difference. She was just really short on money!
"Mm, you may leave."
Yu Ziyue showed no dissatisfaction with Qi Jiayou's indifference, her small face lighting up with a bright smile. "Yes, President."
Her adaptability was quite good. Qi Jiayou watched the young woman's cheerful retreating back. He hadn't found any issues with her yet, but hiding anything under his nose would be difficult!
Thus, Yu Ziyue proudly became Qi Jiayou's only female assistant. Every day, just dealing with the women kept her busy enough, let alone serving the president. Who was the president? She only recognized a bunch of women!
...
In a dimly lit room, surrounded by walls, with only a tiny window above, barred with iron railings.
The moon tonight seemed exceptionally bright, and the light filtering through the window was enough to illuminate the entire room.
A woman covered in blood lay on the ground, her expression filled with pain.
She knew Zhihuan had come looking for her. That foolish brother, didn't he know the consequences of coming?
Yun Jianzhong, that beast, completely disregarded their kinship and had lost all basic conscience. If Zhihuan fell into his hands, he wouldn't be alright.
Furthermore, that man only relayed the message of her brother's arrival but didn't allow them to meet. In the past few days, he hadn't appeared before her either. No matter how much she screamed, no one answered.
She was left to blame herself, suffer, and feel uneasy in the darkness.
Her consciousness was now hazy every day, her body utterly without strength. She couldn't even feel the pain in her body.
She didn't know how much longer she could hold on, if she would ever see her brother one last time. Her greatest regret was not being able to accompany her daughter in the future, and those few clever and adorable children...
Tong Muqing's half-open eyes shed a stream of tears.
At this moment, a wall opened.
A "bang~" sound of a heavy object echoed.
Tong Muqing forced herself to open her eyes. She wanted to talk to Yun Jianzhong, to make her final effort to get him to release her brother.
However, when she looked up, she saw a familiar face, a delicate countenance etched with maturity and hardship, her clothes tattered, and her body covered in bloodstains.
Tong Muqing immediately sobbed uncontrollably, "Zhi... Huan."
She knew how Yun Jianzhong could possibly let her brother go. Did he truly have no heart?!
"Zhihuan... Why... did you come? You shouldn't have come, *wuwu*..." She was truly heartbroken. Why had their family ended up like this?
"Sister, we've been hiding and running all these years. Mom and Dad are gone... I didn't even go to see them off. Now that you're in trouble, I could never abandon you."
He had suffered immense psychological torment all these years. Because he met her, he had lived a normal, happy life like an ordinary person, but he...
"Sister... do you know?"
"I... married the woman I love, and we have a child. Because of the drug, even though I tried my best to control it, I was still constantly hurting them. I... should have died long ago!"
"Hahaha, that's right! You should have died long ago. I searched for you for so many years. How does that drug taste? You should be grateful that what you consumed wasn't the strongest, otherwise, one of you, you or your wife, would have long since slept forever!"
This brat. He thought that if it fell into his hands, he would secretly eliminate him.
He didn't expect that he and his sister were even better at hiding. If they weren't used as bait, they would have been worn down by him their entire lives!
However, Yun Zhihuan had been caught by them once in the past two years. He had even injected him with the newly acquired drug to play with him. As a result, his subordinates were lazy and he escaped in the middle of the night!
For this, those on guard that night were all tortured by him to the point of wishing they were dead!
"You are quite the romantic, willing to sacrifice yourself rather than harm your wife. I'm impressed!"
Yun Jianzhong smirked, clapping his hands, then burst into laughter.
"But loving a beauty comes at a price. Enjoy your last few days, hahaha..."
