Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me
Chapter 270 - 269: Where to Go to Work?

Chapter 270: Chapter 269: Where to Go to Work?

Unable to get up, Ding Song could only express his thanks verbally.

"Thank you, thank you, Little Auntie, thank you for coming to save me then." The 40-year-old man spoke as he cried, "Without your rescue, I would have been a goner."

Facing Ding Song’s gratitude, Mianmian was still very direct, "It’s fine, you can repay Mianmian. Mianmian just happens to have a favor to ask of you."

Ding Song was stunned, "You have something you want me to do?"

It wasn’t that he was unwilling to do something for Mianmian, but rather, like Ding Yao, he hadn’t encountered such a straightforward child before.

Once he snapped out of it, Ding Song nodded eagerly, "I’ll do anything you ask, my life was saved by you."

Soon, Ding Song remembered his wager agreement with Lu You and asked his sister, "What about the contract? Didn’t I tell you to bring the contract with you? Did Yuehan sign it?"

Ding Song wouldn’t have been bothered about the contract if he hadn’t mentioned it, but once he did, Ding Yao ground her teeth in resentment.

"You’re still concerned about the contract, they never intended to sign!"

Ding Song thought this meant Yuehan hadn’t signed the contract and panicked, "What should we do? I signed a wager agreement with Director Lu, and if Yuehan doesn’t sign the contract, not only will I have to resign as CFO, but I’ll also owe him two hundred million... How are we going to pay off those two hundred million?"

Ding Yao, who also studied management, of course understood what a wager agreement in the business world meant. Such agreements were concocted to set traps for people, given that they involved gambling.

"Ten gambles, nine losses; gamble long, you’re bound to lose" – this old saying wasn’t a joke, it was the epitome of every gambler’s life throughout history!

"Brother, how could you be so foolish?" Ding Yao was frustrated at her brother’s stubbornness, "I’ve told you long ago not to be so concerned about face, why couldn’t you resist then?"

Truly like a little sister, she hit the nail on the head.

As the siblings talked, Mianmian stood aside, very considerately not interrupting their conversation.

Su Chenjin instructed his fifth brother, Su Chenyan, to move the small sofa over for Mianmian to sit on, so as not to tire Little Auntie.

Su Chenyan did as told, and Mianmian sat down with Chu Ye.

Outside, the wind was blowing and the rain was pouring down, whooshing loudly.

A nurse came in to close the windows and took the opportunity to check on Ding Song’s physical condition. After ensuring everything was fine, she left.

Interrupted by the nurse’s entry, the siblings stared at each other, and finally, Ding Song conceded, looking away with guilt, "It’s my fault, brother... Brother really is too concerned about face, that’s why I signed the wager agreement."

Lu You was the actual power-holder of the Lu Family, and the Lu Group wasn’t run by a shareholder model. If Lu You wanted to get rid of him as CFO, it would be simple.

But Ding Song was not willing to accept that.

Now he understood that his downfall might have been caused by his unwillingness to accept defeat.

He could have stayed at the Su Family, even if not as Su Chenjin’s assistant, he could have started from a Directorial position and worked his way up.

The Su Family never played favorites! They were a company recognized in the industry for valuing merit and ability!

Instead of accepting Lu You’s olive branch and proudly moving to the Lu Family, he had given his all to climb to the CFO’s position only to be told his capabilities were not up to the task, and they wanted to pull him down.

And there was no one to speak up for him.

Indeed, Ding Song also had his doubts. In the beginning, when he ran for CFO, why did all those who supported him not show up?

If there were still people willing to stand by him, he wouldn’t have been so desperate to sign a wager agreement with Lu You.

"Knowing your mistake is good enough." Ding Yao didn’t spare her brother’s feelings at all and took out her mobile phone to show Ding Song the video she had saved, "Look at this again. If Little Auntie hadn’t saved you, you would have no idea how you died even as they buried you."

Taking the mobile phone, Ding Song watched the video of Yuehan spreading medicine powder on the track, and his eyes ignited with full-blown rage.

"I, I just knew it! After smelling that fragrance, I wondered why Great Sage suddenly went berserk, when he had already covered half the distance."

Ding Yao continued to talk about her own brother, "Great Sage is willing to carry you quietly, all thanks to Little Auntie’s help, otherwise how could you have the pleasure of riding the Great Sage?"

Ding Song felt even more grateful toward Mianmian and once again, he repeatedly offered thanks.

At the same time, he also recalled what Mianmian had said about asking him for a favor, and couldn’t help saying, "Little Auntie, I was foolish and signed a bet agreement before, and now I’ve broken my leg before the contract is even finished. The task you want me to do, I probably won’t be able to do it until my leg is healed."

Mianmian, hearing the conversation turn back to the subject, said in her baby voice, "Who said you have to wait until your leg is healed to start working? You can go down with Mianmian and start working now."

Ding Song and Ding Yao exchanged glances, sharply catching the key words, "Go down to work? Go down, down to where?"

When people from Dragon Country speak of going down, there is only one place they mean: the Underworld.

Could it be that Little Auntie wanted him to go to the Underworld?

But if he, a living person, goes to the Underworld, wouldn’t that mean he would die again?

With this thought, Ding Song quickly stopped himself.

If Little Auntie only needed his soul, there was no need for her to bother saving him; it would be more convenient to just wait for him to die from the fall and send his ghost to the Underworld directly.

"Alright then." After nearly dying once, Ding Song’s personality had indeed changed a bit, and he was particularly straightforward, "You can take me down now; I’m willing to do anything."

Since Ding Song was willing, that essentially resolved the matter.

Mianmian nodded her head, "No need to go down now, Mianmian still has something else to do."

Ding Song was curious, "What is it?"

Mianmian looked at Ding Yao, "Hurry up, hurry up, it’s almost twelve o’clock."

Now it was Ding Yao’s turn to be confused. What was this other thing that Little Auntie mentioned that involved her?

Filled with curiosity, Ding Yao asked again, but Mianmian only said, "You’ll know in a little while, I can’t say now."

After saying that, Mianmian went back to the sofa, feeling a bit sleepy, and let out a big yawn.

Su Chenjin, seeing Mianmian’s eyes nearly closing, said warmly, "Little Auntie, why don’t you take a nap on the caregiver’s bed? At 11:45, your great-nephew will wake you up."

Mianmian nodded her head and instructed Chu Ye to stay close to her, then lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.

Once she had fallen asleep, the volume of conversation in the room naturally lowered.

With Su Chenjin’s permission, Jin Tai approached the hospital bed to discuss the follow-up to the horse training incident with Ding Song.

"Since Little Auntie has taken a liking to you and you will be working for her, you can now be considered part of the Su Family. As for that bet agreement, the company has a way to solve it for you, but we still want to respect your personal opinion. If you don’t wish to take our assistance, we won’t force you," said Jin Tai.

Having faced death and seeing Jin Tai again, Ding Song’s feelings were even more complicated.

Had he not felt jealous of the younger Jin Tai because Su Chenjin hired him for being younger, he might not have ended up in his current situation.

But now, thinking about those things was unnecessary. It was important to seize the moment and change his previous stubborn ways—that was the logical thing to do.

"I am willing to accept the help," Ding Song said, and even though his voice was kept low, the grinding of his teeth could be felt, "After all, it was Lu You who played schemes, and since he never intended to fulfill the bet, I don’t need to save his face. As for legal expenses, I’ve saved some money over the years. I will pay to hire a lawyer to fight the lawsuit, and for the rest, I will leave it to Director Su."

Jin Tai nodded, "That can be arranged."

Ding Song was silent for a moment, then added, "I also have some information about Lu You."

Now that it had come to this, the obvious course of action was to find a way to completely suppress the Lu Family. In the past, Ding Song might have adhered to the workplace principle of not speaking ill of former employers, but now, in the face of life and death, those principles had to be set aside!

From now on, he would acknowledge only his lifesaving benefactor Little Auntie and his sister—everything else was inconsequential!
