Ye Tian admired, "Amazing, it's not easy to become an actuary!"
Currently, the number of actuaries in China is not large, with an average annual salary of up to four to five hundred thousand.
Jin Duoduo said, "There's no choice. The bank president is a scoundrel and deliberately blocked my official status, so I haven't received formal employment yet and am still a contract worker."
Ye Tian frowned, "Blocked your status? What does he want?"
Jin Duoduo said indifferently, "What else could it be."
Ye Tian immediately understood and said, "If you have to blame someone, blame your beauty."
Jin Duoduo rolled her eyes at him, "Are you complimenting me or insulting me?"
Ye Tian smiled, "Of course, I'm complimenting you. It's getting late, I'll take you home."
Jin Duoduo replied, "No need to escort me, I'll take a taxi back."
Ye Tian insisted on driving Jin Duoduo upstairs. After getting out of the car, Jin Duoduo asked, "Would you like to come up for a bit?"
Ye Tian smiled, "No, thank you. We'll get together another day."
Just as Jin Duoduo was about to turn, a middle-aged woman in her fifties walked out from the side and grabbed her. "Duoduo, you're finally back. Is this your boyfriend?"
Seeing the woman, Jin Duoduo was startled, "Mom? Why are you here!"
The woman was Jin Duoduo's mother. She wiped her tears and said, "Duoduo, you're really in a bind. Your brother's girlfriend is making an outrageous demand, asking for fifty thousand in betrothal gifts and a car. But you know, all the money our family had was used for the house, where else would we get the money for her family?"
Jin Duoduo looked at her mother, "Mom, but you also know I don't have money either. Almost all my income goes to the family."
Her mother said with a distressed face, "Duoduo, think of a way. You work at the bank, right? You can take out a loan. If you loan fifty thousand, you can pay it back slowly."
Jin Duoduo trembled, "Mom, I can afford to repay a loan! And I'm about to change jobs, there will be at least three months with no income."
Her mother held onto her, refusing to let go, "Duoduo, Mom can only count on you now. You know your brother is honest. If this girlfriend falls through, then he's finished."
Ye Tian said, "Auntie, there's no need to do things beyond your capability. If this one doesn't work out, why not find another?"
Her mother sighed, "The house we bought has her name on it. If we break up, we'll lose a lot!"
Ye Tian also understood Jin Duoduo's situation and couldn't help but speak up for her, "Auntie, Duoduo has already done her best for your family. Her monthly salary is five thousand. If she doesn't eat or drink, it will take her ten years to save fifty thousand. Plus interest, you want her to work for over ten years just to scrape together a betrothal gift?"
When her mother heard Ye Tian siding with Jin Duoduo, she became angry and said, "Young man, what does my family's business have to do with you? Oh, right, aren't you Duoduo's boyfriend? Let me tell you, if you want to marry our Duoduo, the betrothal gift is at least one million, not a penny less!"
Jin Duoduo felt wronged and ashamed. She said sharply, "Mom! Can you leave me alone? If you continue like this, I really won't care about anything!"
Her mother was stunned and suddenly sat on the ground, wailing loudly, attracting the attention of the security guards at the entrance who came to inquire about the situation.
Ye Tian suddenly said, "Auntie, Duoduo is not my girlfriend, she is my employee."
Her mother was taken aback, "Employee?"
Ye Tian nodded, "I'm giving her an annual salary of eighty thousand now. Seeing how urgently you need money, I can advance you fifty thousand. However, for the next ten years, Jin Duoduo will work for me for free. I won't give her money, I'll only cover her food, lodging, and daily expenses. Do you think that's acceptable?"
Her mother was overjoyed, "Yes, yes! As long as you give me fifty thousand, she can work for you for as long as you want! But don't get any ideas about my Duoduo. If you want to marry her, anyone will have to give me a million in betrothal gifts!"
Jin Duoduo became anxious and quickly said, "Ye Tian..."
Ye Tian signaled her to be quiet and handed the woman a card. "Take this card. You can withdraw cash from it when you get home. You can only withdraw twenty thousand per day. Once you withdraw fifty thousand, this card will be invalid."
Fearing she wouldn't believe him, Ye Tian also opened his phone and showed her his account balance. Seeing over a million, the woman was overjoyed and said, "Okay, okay, I understand. I won't take more of your money."
The woman left happily, but Jin Duoduo squatted on the ground, covering her face and sobbing.
