Chapter 148: Chapter 114: Chen Mo and Pan Kejia’s Relationship Exposed?

「The next morning.」

Xia Shiqing was getting ready to leave for work.

"Here’s a bag for you. I went out and bought it specially yesterday."

Chen Mo handed the bag on the table to Xia Shiqing.

"Thank you. I love this bag."

When Xia Shiqing saw the bag Chen Mo had given her, her eyes lit up with delight.

She genuinely liked the bag, but she liked it even more because it was from Chen Mo.

Even if Chen Mo had given her a cheap, knock-off bag, she would have loved it.

Holding the bag, she took the initiative to hug Chen Mo and gave him a kiss on the lips.

She no longer needed any coaching for this level of intimacy.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to work."

Chen Mo smiled and patted her perky butt, and the two of them left arm in arm.

She had taken a taxi over the day before, so her car was still parked in the company’s underground garage.

When Chen Mo drove into the Xihe underground garage, he saw a familiar "evil big mouse" parked in a space.

And in the driver’s seat sat a beautiful figure.

The corners of Chen Mo’s mouth lifted slightly. He parked the car and got out.

"I’m heading up."

Xia Shiqing wrapped her arms around Chen Mo’s neck, kissed him on the lips, and then walked into the elevator lobby.

After watching her figure disappear from sight, Chen Mo opened the frunk and took out the three shopping bags inside.

"KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~"

Walking up to the "evil big mouse," he knocked on the car window.

"Well, aren’t you two a lovey-dovey couple. A farewell kiss every time. So sweet."

The window slowly rolled down, and Chen Mo saw Pan Kejia in the driver’s seat with a sour expression, her words dripping with sarcasm.

"You seem pretty jealous. Why don’t you get in the back? I can help you neutralize that sourness."

Chen Mo glanced at her, then pulled open the back door and got in.

’Sour? Then let’s add a little salt.’

"Who’s jealous? What’s there to be jealous about? It’s just a goodbye kiss. I have a bag from you. Does she?"

Though Pan Kejia’s words were relentless, she obediently got out of the car and sat in the back with him.

Hearing this, Chen Mo gave her a surprised look.

’Wasn’t Xia Shiqing just carrying the bag I gave her?’

’Didn’t she see it?’

’Was her attention completely focused on us kissing?’

"Here. This bag is for you. And two new ones as replacements."

"You can delete that sales associate’s contact, by the way. Manager Liu sent her away for ’further training.’ It’ll be a few years, so she won’t be working at this store anymore."

Chen Mo handed her the three bags and told her about the sales associate.

’She was sent to prison for ’re-education,’ so saying she was sent for ’further training’ isn’t technically wrong.’

"Thank you."

Pan Kejia took out the bag Chen Mo had gotten for her, her eyes filled with delight.

She had bags at home that were much more expensive than this one.

But this bag was from Chen Mo. The meaning was different, and she loved it.

At the same time, a flash of understanding crossed her eyes.

’No wonder I couldn’t reach her. So the manager really did send her away for ’further training.’’

Seeing how much she loved it, Chen Mo couldn’t help but think that if she hadn’t wanted a bag, he wouldn’t have gone to National Gold yesterday.

If he hadn’t gone to National Gold, he wouldn’t have met the old lady on the road.

And that three million would have nothing to do with him.

"We still have a few dozen minutes. Should be enough time to neutralize that sourness for you."

Chen Mo looked at his watch and smiled meaningfully at her enchanting face.

’I guess I’ll thank her by helping to neutralize some of that sourness.’

"Who needs their sourness neutralized? How am I jealous at all?"

Pan Kejia instantly understood Chen Mo’s meaning and rolled her beautiful eyes at him.

’But since Chen Mo did give me a bag... I guess a little ’neutralizing’ wouldn’t be so bad.’

...

A few dozen minutes later, Pan Kejia went upstairs, carrying the bag Chen Mo had given her.

After arriving at the office, she first went to the restroom.

After returning to her desk, she deliberately placed the bag from Chen Mo on it.

It immediately attracted the attention of her female colleagues nearby.

"Kejia, you got a new bag too?"

"That bag is gorgeous. I wanted to buy one too, but it’s out of stock."

"Kejia, do you have a connection to get this bag?"

"That’s Chen Mo for you. He’s really something."

The female colleagues immediately gathered around, chattering away.

At first, Pan Kejia was happy listening to them, but when she suddenly heard Chen Mo’s name, she was startled.

Her body tensed up subconsciously, and her heart leaped into her throat.

’How did my colleague know Chen Mo bought it?’

’Did a colleague see me and Chen Mo in the garage?’

’Is our relationship exposed?’

’But from their expressions, it doesn’t look like we’ve been exposed.’

’If we were really exposed, everyone would have that ’here for the drama’ look on their faces. They wouldn’t be looking at me so normally.’

"What about Chen Mo? What does he have to do with it?"

Pan Kejia asked her colleague with a calm expression.

"Before you got here, Minister Xia came to work carrying the exact same bag as yours."

"Supervisor Zhou asked her how she got it, and she said her boyfriend gave it to her. And isn’t her boyfriend Chen Mo?"

The female colleague explained it to her simply.

’Chen Mo! You bastard!!!’

After hearing the colleague’s explanation, Pan Kejia immediately clenched her fists and ground her teeth.

Although her charming face showed no change, she was already cursing him out in her head.

’And here I thought he only gave one to me.’

’Turns out he gave one to Xia Shiqing, too!’

Her attention just now had been completely captivated by their farewell kiss; she hadn’t even seen the bag in Xia Shiqing’s hand.

She thought back to what she’d said in the car—that *she* had a bag from Chen Mo, but Xia Shiqing didn’t. And she remembered the look Chen Mo had given her then.

She instantly understood that Chen Mo must have been laughing at her in his head.

And she had originally planned to show off the bag in front of her female colleagues.

But Xia Shiqing had stolen her thunder, greatly diminishing the effect.

"Kejia, how did you get this bag? Or did someone give it to you?"

The female colleague, unaware of Pan Kejia’s thoughts, asked again.

They really wanted to buy this bag.

"A scumbag gave it to me!"

Pan Kejia said through clenched teeth.

’And to think I was so happy he gave me a bag that I was willing to let him ’neutralize my sourness.’’

’If I had known, I wouldn’t have... hmm, on second thought, I probably still would have been ’neutralized.’’

’The outcome would have been the same, I guess.’

’Chen Mo never lets me get my way.’

Thinking of this, she got even angrier.

"Sigh. It must be nice to be a pretty girl. People just give you bags that are impossible to buy."

"We average-looking girls can’t even buy one for ourselves. I’ve completely lost the mood to work this stupid job."

The female colleagues returned to their desks, dejected.

Pan Kejia sat at her desk, staring blankly at the bag.

’I should have expected this. If I got one, how could Xia Shiqing not have one?’

After calming down, Pan Kejia finally understood.

’But he also gave me two new replacement bags. Xia Shiqing probably didn’t get those, did she?’

’So I still win!’

Then she thought of the two new bags left in the car, and a smile returned to her charming face.

Her mood became cheerful again, and she started to look at the documents on her desk.

After leaving Xihe, Chen Mo drove home.

After getting home, the first thing he did was tidy up the bedroom.

Although it hadn’t "rained" last night, after a whole night on the "highway," there were bound to be some "tire tracks."

Chen Mo tossed the bedsheet into the washing machine and put on a new set.

He made up his mind that he would never bring Pan Kejia home again, no matter what.

Her natural talent was on par with the Dragon King’s. The way she made it "rain" was just too powerful.

He didn’t have that many spare sets of sheets at home.

After cleaning up, he sat down in his gaming room.

He checked stocks and news for a while, then called Wei Luyao and started playing games.

"DING~"

"Your debit card account ending in 1234 has... received a deposit (Salary) of 27,862.5 RMB. Your new balance is..."

Just then, Chen Mo suddenly received a text message from his bank.

It said a salary payment had been deposited into his account.

’Where would I be getting a salary from?’

Chen Mo was slightly taken aback, but he quickly remembered he held a nominal position at Lu Mingzhe’s company.

He checked the date; it matched the payday written on the contract.

He was almost certain that this so-called salary was from Chaolu Technology.

He had signed the contract late last month, so the salary wasn’t for a full month.

After taxes and contributions, there was still over twenty thousand left.

If it were for a full month, his take-home pay would be around sixty thousand.

That would be around 700,000 a year, after taxes.

’Not bad, not bad. From this month on, it’ll be the full amount.’

Chen Mo was naturally in a good mood. After all, who wouldn’t be happy getting paid every month without having to work?

And it was a high salary, too. Who wouldn’t be happy about that?

As long as Chaolu Technology didn’t go bankrupt, or he hadn’t kicked the bucket.

He could keep collecting it until retirement.

He was 23 now, with 37 years until retirement.

A quick calculation showed that was nearly 26 million.

If the retirement age was delayed in the future, say to 65, he could collect it for another 5 years.

That would be close to 30 million.

Not working a single day and collecting 30 million in salary.

It was enough to make anyone’s head spin.
