Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 410 - 408: Never Seen the Boss Help Someone Like This
As she spoke, Mrs. Chen took out her wallet. ๐ณ๐ฟ๐๐๐๐ฒ๐๐ป๐๐๐๐ฅ.๐๐ ๐
Jiayi stopped her, "Thatโs enough. Just repay me exactly what I gave you, no more, no less. I wonโt take advantage of you, and you shouldnโt try to take advantage of me. Also, I hope you wonโt go around talking about what happened at the kindergarten that day. I am a single mother, and Iโve never denied it, but I donโt want my mom to hear any rumors or to have any misunderstandings."
Mrs. Chenโs hand stopped mid-air, awkwardly retracting her wallet, wishing she could swear to the heavens, "Ah, my big mouthโalright, I wonโt say it again! If anyone else talks, Iโll give them a piece of my mind, as long as Zaizaiโs mom isnโt angry."
Jiayiโs eyes flickered for a moment, "Mrs. Chen is so eager to apologize today and even to repay the debt willingly. Is it because someone asked you to do this, or is there something else going on?"
She certainly didnโt believe Mrs. Chen would suddenly become a do-gooder.
Mrs. Chen began to stammer, "Teacher Xia used to teach our daughter, putting in a lot of effort and treating her so well. When I went back home and told my husband, he scolded me, saying I shouldnโt have treated you all that way. I thought about it and realized he was right. Our families used to have a good relationship, we canโt just turn around and walk away whenever we see Teacher Xia..."
Jiayi didnโt quite believe she had an epiphany, but seeing that she wasnโt telling the truth, she could only take Zaizaiโs hand, "Okay then, Mrs. Chen, you should head back."
Noting that Jiayiโs tone had softened somewhat, Mrs. Chen hesitated to leave, as though determined to get an answer, "So, is Zaizaiโs mom not angry with me anymore?"
Jiayi, seeing her persistence, replied helplessly, "Iโm not angry anymore, okay?"
Mrs. Chen seemed overjoyed, patting Zaizaiโs head and ingratiating a few more words in a low voice before turning to leave.
Watching Mrs. Chenโs plump figure receding into the distance, a glint of shrewdness flashed in Zaizaiโs large eyes, "Mommy, Mrs. Chen definitely wouldnโt have come to apologize on her own."
Of course, Jiayi knew that as well.
But Mrs. Chen was tight-lipped, itโs not like one could pry her mouth open and force the truth out.
Besides, now that she had repaid the money, the monthโs salary she thought was gone had returned.
Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief, not caring about the rest. Zaizaiโs tuition was very expensive, and with this money back, she had a bit more financial breathing room.
Thinking this, Jiayi shook the red envelope in her hand, "Mommy has money now, so we wonโt go to KFC today. How about we invite grandma to join us for dinner at Dexing Restaurant, does that sound good?"
Though the cost of dining at Dexing Restaurant was high, the food indeed lived up to its reputation. Zaizai had enjoyed it just once and had never forgotten the experience. Upon hearing they could eat there today, he was very excited and promptly went to the residential complex to call his grandmother.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the city, in the luxurious Desheng Villa Area.
Inside a standalone two-story villa.
Ade had just hung up the phone, walked to the sofa and said, "Boss, Ma Guoxin called. He said Mrs. Chen has repaid all the money to Miss Chu and has apologized, which Miss Chu has accepted."
Huo Zhenyangโs gaze remained fixed on the financial news playing on the TV screen, seemingly oblivious, as if absorbed by the content. After a while, he replied indifferently, "Hmm, got it."
The night before last, during a customary dinner meeting at the Ma Familyโs restaurant with major clients, Ma Guoxin, as usual, came personally to greet him and made a special apology for the kindergarten incident, mentioning that he didnโt know Chu Zhuoting was actually Mr. Huoโs godson.
If he had known this earlier, even with ten times the courage, he wouldnโt have dared to let his son compete with Chu Zhuoting for a spot at Qixing Kindergarten.
Somewhat inexplicably, Huo Zhenyang, in a momentโs thought, flicked his Brazilian cigar and, turning his head, instructed Ma Guoxin to settle the matter regarding Mrs. Chenโs unpaid debt.
Without another word, Ma Guoxin immediately went to take care of it.
Mrs. Chenโs husbandโs superior, who has a staunch friendship with Ma Guoxin, just had to say the word to Ma Guoxin, and the order was sent downโhow could Mrs. Chen and her husband not comply?
The superior ordered Mrs. Chen to hurry up and apologize, return the money, and even dropped harsh words that if Miss Chu wasnโt appeased, it wouldnโt count and Mrs. Chenโs husband would be fired immediately.
How could Mrs. Chen not listen? Terrified, she shrank back, and went to make amends that very night.
At this moment, Ade chuckled, "Iโve been with the Boss for several years, and Iโve never seen the Boss help someone quite like this before. It seems that the Bossโs impression of Miss Chu and her son has slightly improved."
On the sofa, Huo Zhenyangโs lips were tightly pursed, with a hint of cold disdain flashing in his eyes:
"That woman is so stupid itโs fatal, even a middle-aged housewife can run circles around her. If that money doesnโt come back, Iโm afraid she wonโt even be able to afford Qixingโs tuition fees, and sheโll have to make up for it with her salary. Then my repair costs will have to be pushed back againโdo you really think I want her to keep working as a maid at Disheng forever?"
Getting entangled with such a woman was indeed a headache.
----
Although it was a happy occasion for Zaizai to be admitted to Qixing Kindergarten, it brought Jiayi a new problem: the tuition fees for three years.
But pressure brings motivation. Although the tuition fee was a heavy mountain, it also gave Jiayi endless motivation to make money, pushing her to work even harder at the company.
Now she didnโt have to worry about Zaizai being alone at home without anyone to take care of him, and picking up and dropping off was not a problemโevery day the kindergartenโs shuttle bus would arrive downstairs to transport the children to and from school.
Jiayi had much less to worry about, focusing all her energy on Yundu and the Desheng Villa Area.
That evening was Dishengโs cleaning day.
The UA case was close to being settled, and Jiayi, alongside several other design assistants, had relaxed quite a bit.
Before leaving work, Fang Yao stepped out of the office, a rare smile on her face, and called over those responsible for the UA case:
"Youโve all worked hard these past days, especially Jiayi, who led her team to work overnight for two days, without even taking a break on the weekend. You guys can take tomorrow off, full pay will still be given, itโll count as a public holidayโIโve already arranged it with the company in advance."
Her colleagues were surprised, still not quite believing it.
Fang Yao, a known workaholic, was actually giving them a day off? This was almost inconceivable!
But they were soon carried away by the joy of having a day off, cheering: "Woo-hooโ"
After being busy for so long, they could finally sleep in.
Fang Yaoโs gaze shifted and settled on Jiayi, still beaming with a smile: "Rest well, youโve worked the hardest."
Once Fang Yao had left and her colleagues dispersed, Tong Xiaomian came up, her tone joking, "I heard from older colleagues that in the design department, after dealing with these kinds of CASEs, thereโs never been a day off. Itโs a rare opportunity to get a day off like this. I bet weโre getting this holiday all because of you."
Jiayi didnโt read into the implicit meaning behind Tong Xiaomianโs words: "How could it be because of me? Itโs because of everyone. Everyone has worked hard for so long, Fang Yao has seen it all."
Actually, sometimes when you think about it, Fang Yao isnโt that unbending or completely indifferent to personal feelings. Sometimes, she can be quite considerate.
