Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 374 - 372: Woman, Don’t Be Too Greedy

At last, the man’s voice came through the phone: "Fine, I’ll let you work at Yundu. However, half of your monthly salary is definitely not enough to repay the debt, and I don’t have the patience to wait until I’m old and gray."

It’s not like she’ll be repaying him until he’s old and gray, how exaggerated is that? Jiayi hadn’t had the chance to speak up before he continued: "... Besides using your salary to offset the debt, after work every day, come to my apartment, clean and cook for me, and then you can go home."

What, what does that mean? Is he asking her to be a maid?

Jiayi was startled: "After work every day I have to go to your place to clean, then it’ll be too late when I get home, my family will definitely be suspicious."

"That’s your problem," the man said dismissively, yet his tone was so sardonic it made her want to strangle him.

Jiayi had no room to refuse, so she could only sigh and start to negotiate terms with him: "Fine. But in Yunling City, a full-time maid’s monthly salary is quite high; at least ten thousand or more. Even if I’m not a live-in maid, the hourly wage is higher than that of an average office worker. Well... how about this, I charge you eight thousand a month for cleaning and cooking dinner, and if there’s anything else, we’ll discuss additional fees. Does that work for you?"

Hoping she could offset more of the debt, that way she could pay it off faster and reduce the time she’d need to work as a maid.

She was really driving a hard bargain.

A hint of scorn played on Huo Zhenyang’s lips, but then he smirked, readily agreeing: "Alright, let’s go with a monthly salary of eight thousand, but if there are any mistakes in your maid work, wages will still be deducted."

Seeing the man agree so readily, Jiayi regretted her decision. How could she be so foolish!

If she had known earlier, she would have demanded a salary of ten thousand a month.

She hesitated: "Mr. Huo, what if..."

It seemed Huo Zhenyang understood what she was about to say, his voice darkening slightly: "Woman, don’t be too greedy."

Jiayi stuck out her tongue and dared not speak any further. Seeing that he was about to hang up, she quickly reminded him: "Oh, please don’t tell my mommy about this. I’m afraid she’ll worry. Since we’ve reached an agreement, you won’t send a lawyer to harass us anymore, right?"

Huo Zhenyang replied indifferently: "No problem. But, I have a condition too."

"What is it?"

"After you start at Yundu, don’t inquire about me, don’t bring me up, and especially don’t let anyone know you’re acquainted with me."

Jiayi paused, guessing he probably didn’t want people to find out she got the job at Yundu because of his influence, right?

After all, this man was part of the management; if people found out he’d let her in, he’d certainly face sanctions from the company’s senior management.

She clutched her phone tightly: "Of course, I understand."

Huo Zhenyang hung up with a bang.

Jiayi exhaled; it seemed that for the time being, the matter had been settled.

The gloom that had persisted for days seemed to finally show a glimmer of light.

Given the scale of the company at Yundu, even a newcomer would enjoy great benefits. Half a month’s salary plus an eight-thousand maid’s wage should enable her to pay him at least ten thousand a month.

With a large corporation like Yundu, there were substantial year-end bonuses every six months and at the end of the year. With this in mind, perhaps it would take less than four or five years to clear the debt!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city.

In Disheng Villa Area, within a solitary villa that resembled a palace, Huo Zhenyang had just put down the phone. His eyes returned to their usual detachment as he picked up his tablet to review the business itinerary for the next day.

Ade, who stood by his side and had clearly heard everything, broke the silence: "Boss, are you really going to have that Miss Chu come over every day to work as a maid? We already have Sister Hui here, and several part-time maids, not to mention drivers and those who tend the garden and pool. We’re not short on maids. Besides, looking at Miss Chu, though she has a child, she’s too young, doesn’t seem like she has faced much hardship. Can she really work as a maid?"

"Otherwise, do you think she’ll be able to pay off her debt to me?" Huo Zhenyang wasn’t sure why he was giving this woman a chance; his tone carried a hint of impatience.

Normally, if someone owed him money and couldn’t pay, according to his character, shouldn’t it be resolved by sending lawyers and seeing each other in court?

Yet he had given this woman a chance to repay her debt, not only compromising by letting her into Yundu but also having her work as an hourly maid.

He raised his hand, his long fingers massaging the slightly swollen temples.

He crossed his long legs and tilted back his handsome chin, thinking of something else: "Oh yeah, inform Yang, the administrative manager of Yundu, that if that woman inquires about me, don’t reveal my identity, just tell her I’m the department manager for Resource Recycling."

Ade understood what the Boss meant. If Miss Chu knew the Boss was actually the behind-the-scenes tycoon who had just acquired Yundu, she might act even more pitiful and maybe even delay paying back the money.

The Boss’s occasional visits to Yundu to meet with a few board members were only known to Manager Yang and were undertaken incognito.

That would be easy to handle; just a heads up to Manager Yang would suffice.

However...

Ade chuckled bitterly: "Resource Recycling Department? Yundu doesn’t have such a department."

The man’s tone had already become noticeably impatient: "Is it so difficult to set up a temporary department?"

Ade hastened to nod in agreement, yet couldn’t help but take a deep breath. The Boss was actually going to set up a whole department just to deceive Miss Chu. He really was going all out to reclaim that debt...

——*——

A week later, a call came from Yundu Company.

With the human resources manager’s congratulations ringing in her ears, Jiayi knew that she had been accepted by Yundu and had officially become an assistant designer in the women’s fashion design department.

However, this also signaled the beginning of two jobs for that man—one during the day and another at night.

On her first day working at Yundu, Jiayi inquired about the recycling department, finding out it was a newly established small department with not many staff, and its office was not even located in the Yundu Building.

The scale of Yundu was enormous. The office building in the city center was just one of their administrative workplaces; there were other departments like design studios and factories elsewhere.

This recycling department must not be a very important part of the company, right?

She wanted to ask more about Mr. Huo, but remembering his warning over the phone, Jiayi refrained from asking further.

Never mind. It was better not to know.

Still, the head of a department that seemed trivial to the company, fully clad in tailor-made suits and able to afford cars with hundreds of thousands in repair costs, Yundu’s employee welfare truly was the conscience of the industry, even better than what the rumors suggested.

Initially, she had thought it would take four to five years to pay off the debt, but if she climbed the career ladder quickly, worked overtime, and got salary raises, maybe it wouldn’t take that long to settle the compensation.

This filled Jiayi with confidence about her future roadmap for debt repayment. The tension that had lasted for days finally cleared, and she felt much better.

After a week’s work at Yundu, the day finally came for her to go to the man’s apartment to work as a maid. It was also the evening of the weekend.
