She felt that she was being despised.
Xia An'an didn't know what Si Lijue was planning, but she felt that she had to make things clear.
"Let me say this first. Even if you sell me, you won't be able to make much money. You know how I look. No one will want me even if you pay them!"
What she meant was that Si Lijue had better give up. He would only lose money if he sold her!
Si Lijue nodded in agreement. "At least you know your place."
Xia An'an was speechless.
This man!
Xiang Nian was speechless.
Was the CEO so sharp-tongued in the past?
Si Lijue didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point. "Don't worry, I won't sell you or ask you to compensate me. You can continue to stay here and cook. I'll pay you the salary of a senior employee. How does that sound?"
Xia An'an was suspicious. She glanced at Si Lijue and asked, "Why would you be so kind?"
Si Lijue was speechless.
Xiang Nian didn't want to complain anymore.
Not only was the CEO abnormal, but this lady was also crazy. Had she forgotten that she was the victim? She was obviously the one who was at a disadvantage. Why was she acting as if she had received a gift from the heavens?
Of course, Xia Anan knew that she had suffered a loss, but she also had self-awareness. She was despised by many people because of the scars on her face, and the president was surrounded by beautiful women who could cause the downfall of a country. Those beauties didn't have the chance to sleep with this flower on the high mountain, but who knew that it was ruined by her. Maybe the arrogant president still felt that he had suffered a big loss.
If he used this as an excuse to ask for money, she really didn't know what to do.
"So, do you agree or not?!"
Si Lijue asked in frustration.
Xia An'an was still hesitating.
Xiang Nian coughed and said, "A senior employee's salary is five times that of a junior employee's …"
Five times!
Xia An'an, who had been blinded by money, finally gave in.
Si Lijue wanted to eat fried pork ribs and sweet and sour fish for lunch. Xia An'an was about to go to the kitchen when Xiang Nian stopped her.
"Mr. Assistant, is there anything else?"
Xia An 'an asked.
Xiang Nian smiled as he took out a brand new cheque. "This is from Sir. I think you're a smart girl. You must know the principle of abiding by your duties, right?"
When Xia An 'an saw the check, he didn't do anything for a long time.
"Miss Xia?"
Seeing that Xia An 'an was not moving, Xiang Nian called out to her.
Xia An 'an pushed the check back and smiled at Xiang Nian. "Mr. Assistant, I can't accept this check."
Xiang Nian narrowed his eyes. Although he was still smiling, his smile was cold. "Oh? Does Miss Xia think it's not enough? "
"No."
"No?"
Xia An 'an said, "I'm not here to sell myself, so I won't accept this check. I, Xia An' an, am short of money, but I won't take any money. I can cook, do laundry, and clean up, and earn money with my own hands, but I will never sell my dignity for money!"
Xiang Nian looked at Xia An 'an's serious expression and didn't seem to be faking it.
He smiled. "Miss Xia, are you serious?"
Xia An'an smiled as well. "I never joke about such things."
"Then I'm sorry for being presumptuous."
Xiang Nian took the check back and said, "If you work hard here, Sir won't mistreat you. He'll give you your due salary."
"Thank you."
After that, Xiang Nian passed on Xia An'an's words to Si Lijue word for word.
"She said that?"
"Yes."
Xiang Nian nodded. "Sir, I just realized that Miss Xia is really different from other girls. She's very opinionated and has her own persistence. I feel that if she doesn't have superb acting skills, she won't be able to fake it."
Si Lijue lowered his eyes and said calmly, "There's nothing for you to do here. You can leave now."
"Yes."
After the meal was ready, Xia An'an asked someone to bring the dishes over. She used the remaining ingredients to make rice with rice.
Si Lijue didn't see that the person who brought the dishes over was Xia An'an. He couldn't help but ask, "Where's Xia An'an?"
The maid who brought the dishes was stunned. "Xia An'an should still be in the kitchen."
Si Lijue frowned.
Was she avoiding him?
"Call her over."
"Yes."
Xia An'an had just taken a bite when she was called over. She was still a little uneasy. She wondered if her words were too harsh and had angered Si Lijue.
"Sir, are you looking for me?"
Si Lijue didn't say anything. He just looked at her carefully.
Xia An'an felt uncomfortable being stared at. She couldn't help but grab her skirt and asked, "Sir, are you looking for me?"
"Who taught you how to cook?"
Si Lijue went straight to the point.
Xia An'an was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.
But fortunately, she had already thought of an excuse when she came, so she wasn't too flustered. Other than the initial surprise, she immediately regained her usual calmness and said, "No one taught me. I bought a few cookery books and learned how to make it."
"Really?"
Si Lijue looked at Xia An'an with a probing gaze.
Xia An'an knew that Si Lijue was suspicious of her. After all, her food tasted the same as her foster mother's. Si Lijue was used to her foster mother's cooking, so it was natural for him to be suspicious. She tried her best to remain calm and said, "Cooking isn't that difficult. You just have to follow the book. Do you have any other questions?"
Si Lijue answered Xia An'an fluently. He didn't panic and didn't avert his gaze. His eyes flickered slightly. After a moment, he looked away and said, "I heard that you didn't ask for a cheque."
The change in tone was so fast that Xia An'an couldn't react in time.
She said, "I've already made the reason very clear. Sir, please don't worry. I know what to say and what not to say. I also know what to do and what not to do. I also know what my status is. Xia An'an knows it in her heart. I definitely won't cause you any trouble."
Xia An'an's words were perfect.
It could be said that she was very tactful.
Si Lijue hated entangled women. He was even more annoyed by the kind of woman who thought that she could not wait to let the world know just because she was involved. Logically speaking, Xia Anan's attitude was very much to his liking. However, Xia Anan was so self-aware that such a big CEO felt a little uncomfortable.
They had slept together, but who knew that this woman wouldn't make an issue out of it. She didn't even want a cheque and was even so eager to cut ties.
The CEO felt that he was being disliked.
"You have a boyfriend?"
The CEO's questions were always so tricky. Xia An'an wasn't used to it. She couldn't help but touch her face and laugh. "Sir, don't you know what my situation is? Which man would dare to want me? "
Si Lijue glanced at Xia An'an indifferently and said lightly, "That's true."
He was so blunt and didn't mean to be tactful.
Xia An'an was speechless.
This CEO really deserved a beating!
