Chapter 110: I Like a Bright, Cheerful Young Man

Jiang Sui was startled as well.

What the hell? Was he out of his mind?

“Do you really think I’d ever fall for someone like you? That was a bit too far,” Jiang Sui said, unable to hold back.

Jiang Lai froze.

His face burned hot, and he averted his eyes from hers.

What had he just said?

How could he have said something like that?

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Sui suddenly thought of something.

Could it be that the line Jiang Lai had just spoken was originally meant for Bai Xixue?

She had seen this kind of thing before, where a change in the plot caused the characters to spiral out of sync and their lines to get mixed up.

Though it usually did not happen all that often.

She added, “Ahem. I like sunny, cheerful guys. You don’t fit that description.”

Jiang Lai: “...”

He was silent for a few seconds, then asked, “Then what exactly do you mean? What do you want?”

He no longer cared why Jiang Sui knew so much about him.

Whether she had calculated it or not, she clearly knew everything about him.

So if she had come looking for him, she must have had a purpose.

Slowly, he sat back down across from Jiang Sui.

But he still did not dare look her straight in the eye.

Jiang Sui’s lips curved faintly. “I heard you studied finance and management.”

Jiang Lai nodded.

“I’ve been planning to start a business and make investments lately, and I just happen to need someone with the right background to help me manage things,” Jiang Sui said, lifting a brow. “I’ve got my eye on your abilities. Are you interested?”

For an ambitious student with outstanding ability who had not yet formally entered society, there was hardly anything more tempting than someone saying, I’ve got my eye on your abilities.

Because at this point in his life, he did not yet understand what empty promises truly meant.

Sure enough, Jiang Lai looked surprised.

There was also a barely perceptible trace of flattered disbelief in his expression.

“You... how do you know I’m capable of that?”

“Of course I believe you can do it,” Jiang Sui continued. “Jiang Lai, a top finance student at North Sea City First University. During college, you already won first place in the Youth Entrepreneurship Competition and received a national entrepreneurship fund.

“Even though you’re still in school, you’ve already worked part-time in several companies and handled a variety of roles.

“And lately, working on the assembly line to tighten screws—besides earning money for your mother’s medical bills, it should also have helped you understand how the production line operates, right?”

Jiang Lai frowned.

To be honest, he was surprised by how closely this woman had been following him.

It seemed like she really knew everything.

He even wondered if she knew there was a mole on his chest.

“Since I came directly to you, it means I’ve already decided on you.

“Of course, you can choose to refuse. Employees and employers have always chosen each other mutually.

“Still, I can tell you this: the salary and benefits I can offer you are absolutely beyond what you could get as a fresh graduate. And as your employer, in the spirit of humanitarian concern, I can also cover your mother’s medical expenses in full,” Jiang Sui said patiently, laying out her most irresistible bait at the end.

Money.

This man needed money.

Then she would give him money.

She might be thrifty, but money had to be spent where it mattered.

Medical bills were only a few hundred thousand at most.

But the value this man could bring her was worth far more than that.

Before long, she would earn it all back from him.

Besides, someone connected to Ji Sichen and his wife would be better kept close at hand.

In any case, he was going to make his fortune sooner or later.

He might as well make it for her.

Maybe she would even get to enjoy a good show of Ji Sichen and his wife being torn apart. Wouldn’t that be delightful?

Jiang Lai did not speak, his eyes lowered as though deep in thought.

Jiang Sui smiled faintly, took a sticky note from her bag, and wrote a string of numbers on it with lipstick.

“I’ll be waiting for your call.”

Jiang Lai looked at the note handed to him. After a moment’s hesitation, he still took it.

He did not know what to say at a time like this, but in the end he still murmured, “Thank you.”
