Chapter 205: Chapter 0205: Women’s War

After Long Fei left, Bai Xiaochun came downstairs just in time.

She got herself a boxed meal and instructed Wang Xiaoya, "Manager Wang, Director Lin has asked you to stop by her office."

"Director Lin?"

Wang Xiaoya, remembering Long Fei’s words, knew that Lin Yingying had no good intentions.

That was just fine, as she no longer wanted to work here anyway.

If Lin Yingying caused any trouble, she was ready to resign on the spot.

She went back to wash her hands, took off her apron, and followed Bai Xiaochun upstairs.

They knocked on the door of the president’s office, Bai Xiaochun entered first, and after a while came out to call Wang Xiaoya in.

Lin Yingying stood up and warmly called out, "Little Ya, come in and have a seat!"

She was holding chopsticks, ready to eat.

Wang Xiaoya headed over and Lin Yingying pulled her to sit down on the sofa opposite.

Lin Yingying asked her, "Have you eaten? If not, shall I get Xiaochun to grab another boxed meal so we can eat together?"

Wang Xiaoya shook her head and directly asked her, "Director Lin, if you have something to say, please speak. It’s busy downstairs, and I need to supervise everyone’s work."

Lin Yingying smiled and said, "You really take your role as manager seriously."

She took a bite of rice and addressed Wang Xiaoya, "I called you in here, actually, to have no specific business, but to have a chat with you."

"A chat?"

Wang Xiaoya relaxed her guard a bit. Usually, seeing Lin Yingying with a stern face, she was quite afraid of her.

Now, she felt Lin Yingying was rather approachable.

"Has Long Fei not returned?"

Wang Xiaoya looked around and asked out of curiosity.

Previously, Long Fei had said he was coming back to work, but he wasn’t here.

Lin Yingying complained, "Don’t mention that guy. He’s now acting even mightier than me, the president. He comes to work without discipline and is often nowhere to be seen. Every time I see him, it’s like he’s the president and I’m just a worker."

Wang Xiaoya couldn’t help but laugh, finding Lin Yingying quite amusing.

When the water for the Kung Fu Tea was ready, Lin Yingying brewed two cups and handed one to Wang Xiaoya, asking, "How much is your salary per month now?"

Wang Xiaoya answered honestly, "Five thousand."

Lin Yingying said, "Five thousand is not bad, but if you want to live a more luxurious life, it’s still quite far off."

Wang Xiaoya responded, "I grew up in a village and have experienced all kinds of hardships since I was young. My life is already good now; I haven’t thought about living luxuriously."

"Contentment brings happiness; you live with quite a philosophy!"

Lin Yingying smiled, took a sip of tea, and asked her, "If there were an opportunity that could let you live in luxury and allow your family to enjoy the same fortunes with you, wouldn’t you want it?"

"What opportunity?"

Wang Xiaoya furrowed her brows, recalling Long Fei’s words, thinking that the rival president was indeed about to make a move.

Lin Yingying pulled out a box from beneath and placed a contract in front of Wang Xiaoya at the same time.

When the box was opened, it was full of bundles of cash, glowing red.

Wang Xiaoya glanced over and felt a surge of surprise in her heart; there was at least a million yuan there.

She looked over the contract and asked, confused, "Director Lin, what do you mean by this?"

Lin Yingying smiled faintly, "It’s nothing complicated. You’ve heard about the situation between Long Fei and me. The two of us have been betrothed since childhood. It was decided by our elders, and nobody can change it. One of us has to back out for this issue to be fully resolved. So, for the good of us all, I hope that the person who steps back will be you."

She picked up a stack of money, flipping through it in her hand, "Here is two million in cash, the down payment for your exit. I’ve laid it out clearly in the contract — if you agree, I will pay you another eight million. With this ten million, I believe you and your family can live a luxurious life."

Wang Xiaoya’s head buzzed, she had never seen so much money in her entire life.

Ten million was indeed enough for her and her family to live a wealthy lifestyle.

However, giving up on Long Fei was simply out of the question.

She handed the contract back to Lin Yingying, her expression resolute, "Director Lin, you’re underestimating me. I’m not with Long Fei for the money. And I wouldn’t give up on him for money either. I’m aware of your situation, and Long Fei has told me he will find a way to cancel this arranged marriage. I hope you won’t insult our love."

Lin Yingying frowned slightly; it was the second time she, who had always believed everything could be settled with money, felt thwarted.

The first time was in the hospital facing Long Fei.

He, too, spoke in such a tone, as if money didn’t matter at all in his eyes.

Lin Yingying changed her approach, speaking to Wang Xiaoya in a calm and composed manner, "Alright, let’s not talk about money, let’s talk about Long Fei! You two have been through some things together and have developed feelings. But feelings can’t be eaten, you can’t offer Long Fei anything of substance. I can; I can make him a better man. Once we fulfill our marriage contract, he can even become the CEO of this company. Would you destroy his future for your selfish desires? That’s not love, that’s selfishness! Real love is about enabling, about making the man better. Xiaoya, you’re a smart woman, you should understand what I’m saying."

Wang Xiaoya was slightly shaken, the overwhelming force in Lin Yingying’s manner making it difficult for her to even lift her head, and her eyes quickly reddened.

What Lin Yingying said was true; she really couldn’t offer Long Fei anything.

Not just her, her entire family was a significant burden too.

The corner of Lin Yingying’s mouth twitched, knowing her actions were quite cruel toward Wang Xiaoya.

But love was selfish; Lin Yingying was determined to get what she wanted, by any means necessary.

She took out a sandalwood box, opened it, and slid it across to Wang Xiaoya, "There’s something Long Fei definitely didn’t tell you. Before he met you, we had already been intimate. So, for various reasons, I will not let him go. Go home and think it over, then give me your answer."

Wang Xiaoya stared at the bright red on the white cloth, tears of shock welling up in her eyes.

She covered her mouth, aggrieved, and ran out the door – her pitiful figure almost moved Lin Yingying to compassion.

Lin Yingying packed up the box and sighed, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you."

In the café outside the clothing store, Long Fei rushed over and found Leilei after entering, sitting down across from her.

"What would you like to drink, big boss?"

Leilei looked at him with a laugh, making a joke.

"Just plain water is fine."

Long Fei chuckled lightly.

Leilei laughed, "You rich people are so low-key, I really can’t figure you out."

She waved over a waiter and ordered a cup of plain water.

Long Fei asked her, "How did your negotiations go?"

Leilei replied, "You told me to ask, I really had no clue. No wonder the shop has been short on capital lately; turn out the boss went gambling with the money. I just casually asked, and he immediately told me to contact you. He said the faster he can get rid of the shop, the better."

"Is that so?"

Long Fei laughed, taking a sip of water, "Well, that makes it simple then, no need to start a new one!"
