Why is This Troublemaker So Damn Rich?

He asked Xia Jie if there were any new recruitment policies because Futong Commerce’s current base salary and commission structure weren’t competitive, making it basically impossible to hire any decent employees.

Xia Jie sighed. "What new policy? It’s the same old story. They want us to go poach people from NLB at Xinyue Square, telling us we can offer 500 yuan more than their current salary."

Hearing her sigh, he knew she had no confidence. Yang Hui couldn’t help but retort, "They want you to poach people with *that* base salary? You’re not poaching people, you’re digging a pit for them to fall into."

"Tell me about it—ah..."

As she was speaking, she suddenly realized Yang Hui’s hand had slipped under her towel and onto her back, sliding back and forth. She immediately fell silent, her back so tense it nearly arched. Fortunately, his hand only moved across her back and didn’t venture any further.

’It’s okay, it’s okay. My back is fine. He’s touched my thigh before, anyway. It’s probably just a quirk of his—he needs something to fiddle with when he talks.’

Xia Jie found an excuse for him and slowly grew accustomed to his large, hot hand caressing her back.

"If you ask me, you should just rebel."

"Rebel? You mean fight back? I wouldn’t dare. If I lose my job, I won’t even be able to pay next month’s rent."

"No wonder the company manipulates you guys so often. It really works. Sure, jobs are hard to find right now, but it’s not like they’re impossible to get, right? It’s just hard to find one you’re truly happy with. But are you happy with your job at Futong Commerce?"

Xia Jie felt his hand move lower. Her body tensed, and she could feel the fine hairs on her skin stand on end. Thankfully, his hand stopped at the small of her back and stayed there.

After waiting a moment and realizing he had stopped moving, she remembered to answer his question. "It’s alright, I guess. If this job is so bad, why did you start working here?"

SMACK.

"Are you comparing yourself to me? I’m just here for the experience. I don’t plan on staying long."

Xia Jie’s mind went blank, her brain completely shutting down.

’He slapped my butt... Why isn’t he moving his hand? What is he squeezing?’

She squirmed, but such a slight movement wasn’t enough to shake his hand off. SMACK. Another one landed. It was a fleshy spot, so the slap was loud but didn’t hurt.

This time, she didn’t make a sound, just lifted her face to look at him with a pleading expression. On a whim, he slapped her a few more times. When he looked again, her eyes were misty.

’What’s going on?’

Yang Hui’s palm covered her plump bottom. The surface of her skin was cool and slick from the shower, but a deep warmth radiated from within.

The skin immediately sprang back as his fingers closed around it. The heel of his palm brushed against cotton fibers at the cleft of her buttocks, instantly absorbing the cool scent of her shower gel.

She bit her lip, and her hips trembled with tension. When his thumb unconsciously grazed the cleft of her buttocks, Xia Jie’s waist suddenly went rigid.

’What do I do? What do I do?’

Xia Jie was so frantic she didn’t know what to do. She wanted to push him away but was afraid of making him angry. At the same time, she hated that, for some reason, she wasn’t repulsed by his touch. But he was getting more and more out of line. What could she do?

She buried her head in the sand, pretending to be oblivious. Then, at some point, she realized she couldn’t speak even if she wanted to, because his lips had covered hers.

A long French kiss sent her world spinning. She couldn’t think straight and lost all awareness of what was happening to her body. At some point, he tossed the towel that had been draped over her to the side.

With her last shred of clarity, she cried out, "I’m not ready yet."

Yang Hui was just one kick from the goal line, but she had slammed on the brakes. Since she had clearly said no, he wasn’t about to force her.

He supposed he had been too hasty. They weren’t that familiar with each other yet. If it had been Huang Lingyu, he would have just gone all the way. But his partner today was Xia Jie, and they had only spent time together a few times. It was indeed a bit too fast.

Seeing him roll over and sit up, Xia Jie sat up as well to compose herself. She didn’t bother covering her upper body; he had already grown quite familiar with it.

She said in a low voice, "Manager Yang, I’m sorry. I... I’m just not ready."

Yang Hui smiled faintly. "It’s fine. Consider this a grace period. Next time we meet, I definitely won’t stop."

This was his way of giving her a warning: he was backing off today, but if she agreed to go out with him again, he would take it as tacit permission to continue.

Xia Jie lowered her head and mumbled an affirmative.

Yang Hui got up and put his clothes on. In an atmosphere like this, the raging fire in his chest was impossible to extinguish. Xia Jie also got off the bed, picking up her dress and putting it on.

He drove Xia Jie to Wanlong Square. She was supposed to be handling a work handover today, but he had ended up whisking her away for the afternoon and taking liberties with her. As she was getting out of the car, Yang Hui called out, "Come back here. Give me a kiss."

Xia Jie, who had been about to open the door, turned her head back shyly at his words and let him kiss her before getting out and heading into the mall.

That kiss was all the confirmation he needed. She had been conquered. The next time an opportunity like today arose, he would be able to seal the deal.

At 10:00 PM, while Yang Hui was still lying in bed, a message arrived from Yang Na.

Yang Na: "NLB’s revenue for today was 150,000."

So high? Yang Hui shot up in bed.

This was a weekday, after all, when the mall’s foot traffic was less than half of what it was on a holiday. Achieving such results under these circumstances was nothing short of a miracle. However, the mall had promoted it heavily, so a portion of the customers were there specifically for the brand. On top of that, the mall had issued consumer subsidy coupons, which helped boost sales.
