I am not just a tycoon
Chapter 836 487 The Troubles of the Little Secretary, Dedicating Herself to Work

On the vast blue sea, the yacht maintained a cruising speed. Looking around, there wasn't a soul in sight, not even a single boat.

If there was one, it would just be a tiny dot.

Fu Yingzi sat in the cockpit, listening to the sounds below, feeling a tickle of irritation in her heart.

"Hey, working for the boss, the salary and benefits are impeccable. I'm only 22, earning 50,000 a month, plus a 500,000 car. When the boss is in a good mood, there are extra perks and bonuses. This already puts me ahead of 99.9% of my peers, so technically, I shouldn't complain much."

"If there's a flaw, it's that I'm occasionally harassed by the boss, and sometimes have to face these sights and sounds. Fortunately, it's not too frequent. Still, I wonder if listening to these long-term would affect my physical health?"

Thinking of this, Fu Yingzi instinctively looked at Tan Xin, whose expression was cold and emotionless, like a robot.

Probably a cold personality, hearing these sounds without any reaction. A hint of envy flashed in Fu Yingzi's eyes.

Being indifferent would be great; this way, there wouldn't be any discomfort.

But it's hard on me, I still have to hold it in for two or three days.

Fu Yingzi let out a soft sigh.

Actually, Tan Xin's expression is just like that; she's a bit annoyed with Fu Yingzi. With Fu Yingzi present, she doesn't dare to sneak a look.

Oh, the missed mahjong games. Tan Xin also sighed in her heart.

At this moment, Fu Yingzi's phone rang. She picked it up and a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes.

She paused for a few seconds before picking up the phone, her voice indifferent: "Hello."

"Yingzi, are you not busy?"

But the person on the phone didn't care about Fu Yingzi's tone and got straight to the point: "How is the thing I asked you to do last time? Your brother has been home for four months now; it's time to secure a job, right? Your brother's requirements aren't high—he doesn't expect to earn as much as you do. Just find him a job with a 10,000 monthly salary. If he does well, you can help him get a raise later."

Hearing this, Fu Yingzi frowned: "Mom, I've told you many times, our company requires a bachelor's degree at minimum. He only has a high school diploma, so he can't get in."

"I know that."

The woman raised her voice a bit: "That's only if there are no connections, but our situation is different. Talk nicely to your boss, open a back door; he will definitely agree. We're family, after all, and he's your own brother who you grew up with, so you have to help him."

Fu Yingzi couldn't hide her exhaustion. Her parents had mentioned this several times, but they never considered her situation.

The company isn't hers to decide, saying we want to recruit a high school graduate and then just doing it.

Moreover, her brother isn't only a high school graduate, but also has no work experience, having lazed around at home for months. Can such a person even do the job properly?

And they're talking about a 10,000 monthly salary—landing a job with four to five thousand would already be quite good.

Sure, we're family, but we need to consider reality too. She didn't agree to let her brother into Jingfu, but she did help him find several jobs. One of them paid 6,000 a month, and it was an easy job, but he said he wouldn't take anything under 10,000.

Additionally, her parents said they needed 200,000 to renovate the house.

The house was just lightly renovated the year before—what kind of renovation are they doing now?

"Mom, I'm not saying I won't help. Didn't I introduce him to a good job last time? It's already pretty good to find a 6,000-a-month job with just a high school diploma. Once he gains some experience and skills after working for a year or so, it wouldn't be too late to talk about coming to our company."

The person on the other end raised their voice even more upon hearing this: "You earn tens of thousands a month and let your brother earn 6,000? Is this what a normal person would say? Is this the daughter I raised? From childhood, you were taught to take care of your brother, honor your parents. Is this how you care for your brother and honor your parents?"

The voice on the other side grew more agitated: "Moreover, you refuse to send money for the house renovation. You only send 3,000 a month. You live lavishly outside, spending so much, and ignore your family's needs?"

"You're like this before marriage; what will it be like after?"

"I don't care what you say! You must arrange for your brother. If not, we'll come to Star City to find you!"

The voice grew sharper, and the words harsher. Then a male voice chimed in: "Mom, if she doesn't want to help, forget it. Acting like she's so capable, I can still do well without her."

Hearing these accusations, Fu Yingzi felt a bit stifled in her chest, silently hung up the call, and then pressed the power button to turn off the phone.

Am I truly the unfilial daughter they say I am?

If the family urgently needed money, she'd send it back without a second thought. But she knows very well that the 200,000 her parents want is for her brother to buy a house, to prepare for marriage in the future.

Even so, she chose to send 3,000 every month. In a small town, 3,000 is enough for a family of three to live on, not to mention both parents have jobs and aren't at the age where they need her support.

She's not someone who spends lavishly. Plus, given her upbringing, she's lived frugally all these years. Even as she's now seen by many as a high-income group, she still keeps her past habits. She eyed a DIOR necklace for over 2,000, yet hesitated for two months before buying it.

The car was a gift from her boss, and she's reluctant to spend on gas, opting for an electric scooter for most of her travels. The house is rented, a single room for 900 a month.

Including rent, her monthly living expenses are only 3,000. How are those extravagant days?
