[Guoxiang Tianxiang headquarters]
With sorrow in her heart, Fang Xuan returned to the company.
After leaving her hotown, both she and her brother went to visit the hospital.
Her mothers illness had grown worse, and the doctor told her that she needed to undergo dialysis again.
However, after so many dialysis sessions, Fang Xuans savings had practically dried up.
She was broke.
[Zain: Thats !]
Shes borrowed everything that her relatives could possibly lend her, leaving her buried in debt worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.
The enormous pressure made it a bit hard to breathe.
She walked back to the president's office in a slump, forcing herself to cheer up, and readied herself for another day of hard work.
"Fang Xuan, starting this month, your previous monthly salary will be increased by 100,000."
Zhen Li said aloud, raising her head, who caught sight of Fang Xuans return while working.
"Ms. Zhen, may I ask why?" Fang Xuan was surprised by the sudden pay raise.
Although she desperately needed more money, she had never once ntioned it to her colleagues or superiors.
She was a woman of principle, so she would never ask them for money unless she absolutely had to.
Theres no way Ms. Zhen Li couldve known
"Haoran requested it." Zhen Li replied.
When Wang Haoran made his request, Zhen Li could guess that sothing was up, but she didnt ask all that many questions.
She only knew that her son wanted sothing. As a mother, how could she not satisfy her sons wishes?
Besides, Fang Xuan is a beauty with a good personality.
She has no boyfriend, and her circle of friends is nothing special.
She's barely worthy of my sons attention
When Zhen Li finished speaking, she looked down at the paper once more before leaving.
Fang Xuan's mind was in a complete ss with emotions ranging from joy, confusion, resistance and shock.
She now finally understood that Wang Haorans words were no joke.
In truth, Fang Xuan wanted to refuse, but she wouldnt be able to bear the consequences if she did so.
Her monthly salary as the presidents secretary was already quite considerable before this.
If she rejects Zhen Li's proposal, then its only natural this matter would reach Wang Haoran's ears.
If Wang Haoran were to get angry, wouldnt Zhen Li fire her?
That would cut off her primary source of inco.
Finding a good job would be difficult and ti-consuming.
Then what will happen to her mother who is suffering from uremia?
What about her father who is confined to his wheelchair for the rest of his life because of his leg injuries that he got during work?
Even if she were to be a thousand tis more unwilling, she dared not utter the words to reject the offer.
At that mont
Fang Xuan's cell phone suddenly rang.
An unfamiliar number
"Are you satisfied?"
She answered the phone, and Wang Haoran's voice ca from the other end.
"Wh-why?" Fang Xuan had mixed feelings in her heart.
"You already know, so why ask?"
"I what do you want?"
"It's not convenient to chat on the phone. I'll be waiting for you at the Dahao Hotel at ten o'clock tonight. The room number will be sent to you when the ti cos. Co over and we'll talk in person.
Beep!
The phone call ended.
Fang Xuan didn't even have a chance to respond, as Wang Haoran had already hung up before she could do so.
However, Fang Xuan simply couldnt refuse.
She took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down, by throwing herself into her work.
Before she knew it, night had fallen.
Ti flew, and it was half past nine in the blink of an eye.
Since Fang Xuan opted for a half-day leave, she still had plenty of work to be done.
But ti was running out.
After all, she just received a ssage from Wang Haoran.
"Ms. Zhen, I want to leave early, can I?" Fang Xuan asked Zhen Li, who was also still in the office.
"Of course, go ahead." Zhen Li nodded in agreent.
[Furukawa Street]
It wasnt just Fang Xuan who was worried about their familys status but Fang Hang as well.
However, the pressure Fang Heng faced was considerably lighter in comparison.
After all, he had the Golden Finger.
This was the famous antique market in Qingling City.
Of course, while its said to sell antiques, most of them are rely ant to profit off people's stupidity.
There were very few real antiques around, as most of them being fakes.
Although it was already 9:30 PM, Furukawa Street was still very lively.
Both tourists and experts alike were looking to get sothing good.
The plan was to pick the real antiques from the fakes to make a profit.
However, most of the people are bound to lose money. Only a small number of people profit every ti.
So rely on luck, while so rely on skill.
However, even the most skilled still fail at tis.
It was at that mont that Fang Xuan ca to Furukawa Street, filled with ambition.
With the Golden Finger skill, he had a 100% accuracy in appraising treasures.
As long as those dusty objects were really antiques, he can tell their value just by touching.
[At the sa ti]
After the self-study session, Wang Haoran didnt go ho. Instead, he ca to the Dahao Hotel and opened a presidential suite.
After sending the room number to Fang Xuan, Wang Haoran went to take a bath.
When he ca out, he received a ssage from the private detective.
"Fang Heng went to Furukawa Street."
Wang Haoran had never been there, but he knew what it was.
Fang Heng must be there to make money. Given his ability, theres a chance for him to earn plenty of it.
When that happens, Fang Xuan's mother's dical expenses will be covered, which in turn will cover up Fang Xuans weakness.
By then, it would be very, very difficult to harvest Villain Points from Fang Xuan. Because once Fang Heng has the money, hell share it with his sister. And by the end of it, Fang Xuan would probably care less about her secretary job.
What little interaction Wang Haoran had with Fang Xuan was thanks to her job. Once she leaves his mothers company, then it is very likely that all interactions with him will be severed.
This simply wont do.
Xiao Yifeng is overpowered, and Ill definitely have to face him in the future.
Wang Haoran needed to make himself stronger, so he had to "pick the wool" from Fang Heng.
After receiving the ssage, he waited for a little longer.
However, Wang Haoran was starting to get a bit bored.
Fortunately, Xu Muyan took this opportunity to ssage him with her phone at ho. It was just so small talk.
For example: What are you doing? Are you ho yet?
Things like that.
Wang Haoran answered every question she had as they chatted.
Naturally, he couldnt tell her the truth.
Although the chats were all about trivial matters, Xu Muyan seed to enjoy it and kept sending ssages.
Her level of infatuation was about half as much as Wen Jing's.
At that mont
There was a knock at the door.
"The door is open, co in."
Once Wang Haoran finished speaking, the person at the door paused for more than ten seconds before entering the room.
He turned his head and looked again, only to see a beautiful woman in professional attire.
It was none other than Fang Xuan.
However, Fang Xuan's brows were furrowed, and her expression was slightly pale.
Although Wang Haoran was a certain distance away from her, she was still tense from the mont she entered the room.
