My Sexy Female CEO

17: Chapter 17 Seeking Talent Desperately 17: Chapter 17 Seeking Talent Desperately “Aren’t you staying to protect me?” An Qi asked pitifully.

“Protect what?

Everyone is tied up, no matter how fierce they are, they can’t bite you anymore.”

Lin Yifan replied indifferently and continued to walk forward.

At this moment, An Qi became anxious and asked, “Do you work at this restaurant?

What do you do here?”

“Do I have to tell you?” Lin Yifan asked back with a cold face.

“Sir, if you can let bygones be bygones, I can introduce you to a high-paying job!”

An Qi hastily expressed her request, afraid of losing a talent.

She guessed that the position Lin Yifan held in this restaurant wouldn’t be very high, perhaps a waiter, or someone who did odd jobs; even if Lin Yifan had a connection with the restaurant’s owner, the salary would not be higher than at the swimming pool, otherwise, he would not work at the swimming pool.

So she thought the salary she was offering would be enough to attract Lin Yifan.

Hearing the words “high salary,” Lin Yifan was again moved, for he was indeed in desperate need of money.

These past few days, as he washed dishes, he never stopped looking for other work that paid more than dishwashing; but despite his efforts, he had found nothing.

Now, as his parents’ medical bills were piling up, and the hospital might stop treatment if he didn’t pay soon, he was tempted when An Qi brought up the job again.

“Since this woman has realized her mistake and seems to have repented, and she doesn’t look like a bad person, why not lower my pride a bit and reluctantly become her bodyguard?

After all, it can’t be worse than washing dishes or moving bricks.”

After comforting himself, Lin Yifan had made his decision and curiously inquired, “How high exactly is this high salary you mentioned?”

“Thirty thousand to start with, depending on your abilities!”

An Qi made her offer directly, clear-cut and decisive.

“Thirty thousand?”

When he heard the salary, Lin Yifan was truly startled because he had never had such a high salary before.

“I’ve struck it rich, really struck it rich; no more worries about my parents’ medical bills.”

He was overjoyed, nearly letting his elation show, but luckily he managed to suppress it.

Now that she was the one asking for his help, he couldn’t show a satisfied smile, or else she might think he was easy to deal with and wouldn’t offer him a raise, or might even offer less than thirty thousand.

This situation was like bargaining in a shop.

You must not be overpowered by the merchant’s tough demeanor.

You have to stick to your price and refuse anything over it to get a cheap deal.

“Ahem!”

After coughing twice, Lin Yifan asked with feigned composure, “What’s the job?

If it’s murder or arson, I won’t do it.”

“Rest assured, I won’t ask you to do anything illegal or criminal, just ensure my personal safety,” An Qi replied.

She knew he was interested, even though he didn’t show it, as his response had already revealed his eagerness.

“That simple?” Lin Yifan asked in astonishment.

Making money this way seemed too easy.

He had no special talents except for his strength.

“It’s that simple!” An Qi confirmed firmly.

Lin Yifan felt like he had taken a Calm Pill and then asked, “You said thirty thousand to start with, depending on my ability; does that mean the salary could be even higher?”

“Yes!

If you can take on ten alone, fifty thousand is not a problem,” An Qi nodded in affirmation.

“Damn!

That works.

Then I can responsibly tell you that I can take on ten.”

“Alright, I’ll give you fifty thousand in salary,” An Qi responded, as usual, clear-cut and decisive since Lin Yifan was a rare and capable Samurai, and she was eager to secure talent.

Lin Yifan felt this negotiation was almost like a joke, lacking reliability, so he asked, “You’re not playing me, are you?”

“If you’re worried, we can sign a contract.

Everything will be in black and white, and no one can back out,” An Qi replied with a face full of seriousness and sincerity, dispelling Lin Yifan’s concerns.

“Really?

Can you then pay me one month’s salary in advance?” Lin Yifan asked tentatively.

He urgently needed money now and might not be able to wait a full month, so he hoped An Qi would prepay the salary and then he would fulfil his duties, ensuring An Qi’s safety within a month.

“Sure!” An Qi answered confidently, without any hesitation.

She trusted Lin Yifan.

Considering that Lin Yifan had saved her twice, she would deem the fifty thousand spent even if it went to waste.

Lin Yifan had never expected her to be so forthright and trusting, to prepay him a month’s salary.

It seemed he had really met a good employer, and it could even be a turning point in his life, possibly entering the middle class.

Hence, he replied with a grateful face, “Thank you for trusting me so much.

Within this month, I will do my utmost to ensure your safety.”

“One month?

I don’t want you just for a month.

Here’s a debit card with three hundred thousand in it.

If you dare to take it, work for me as a bodyguard for half a year, how about that?”

An Qi took out a bank card and inquired with a lot of scheming.

“Alright!

No problem!”

Lin Yifan felt like he had hit the jackpot.

If he could get hold of the three hundred thousand, he could pay off all the debts the family owed.

“Then take it!”

An Qi was extremely excited; she thought he would hesitate for a while, but he agreed so readily.

Gazing at the bank card that seemed so light yet weighed so heavily, Lin Yifan had no resistance and promptly took it.

Holding it in his hand and thoroughly checking to confirm it indeed was a bank card, he finally relaxed.

Thereafter, he curiously asked, “What’s the password for the bank card?”

He needed the password to withdraw money.

“900527,” An Qi told him the password without any concealment.

Since she had given the card to Lin Yifan, it was of no use to her anymore.
