Chapter 307: Money-grubber
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Zi rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment. To be honest, he could not blame the staff for this situation. After all, as a worker, he had to support his boss. Why would he want to come up with an unyielding and loyal speech? Who would be willing to make things difficult for their job?
Lin Zi sighed slightly and threw all these things to the back of his mind. Then, he started to care about tonight’s live-stream.
Thinking of the live-stream incident last time, he reminded Ji Jun worriedly again, “Do you still remember what 1 told you previously?”
Ji Jun pulled out a chair impatiently and sat in front of the computer desk. A camera and microphone had already been set up there. “You’ve been nagging a few times these few days. My ears are about to turn into cocoons. Do you think 1’11 forget it?”
Lin Zi reached out to pat his shoulder, but Ji Jun nimbly dodged him. He also received a sideways glance from Ji Jun, so he could only retract his hand awkwardly.
He coughed and adjusted his tone. “It’s one thing to remember, but you have to do it in action. Remember, you’re live-streaming with Yu Han, so don’t do anything irreversible on impulse.”
He said earnestly, “You debuted early and have thick skin. You’re not afraid of any storms, but Yu Han is a newcomer with a bright future. She can’t withstand too much wind and rain. She can’t die in your hands. Do you understand what I mean?”
…..
Ji Jun’s response was to give him the back of his head and an impatient gesture to chase him away.
Lin Zi shrugged, then turned around and happily took out his cell phone to report the good news to the company’s CEO.
Previously, Ji Jun had been unwilling to descend to the mortal world to live-stream and interact with his fans. The CEO of the company had been troubled by this for a long time, making Lin Zi, a sandwich, suffer a lot.
Now, because of Yu Han, Ji Jun was obviously much more active than before. If he did not hurry to report the good news to the CEO and mention his contributions, he would not be an outstanding worker. He was still thinking of getting an additional sum when he received his bonus next month.
Ji Jun turned around and looked at Lin Zi’s smug expression. He looked like a little fox who had successfully cheated. His tail was almost raised up high. Even if he was too far away and did not hear his voice, he could roughly guess what Lin Zi was doing.
Ji Jun smiled softly and scolded softly, “Useless.”
Lin Zi had clearly been by his side for so many years and had earned a lot of money. He had a big house, a car, and a lot of savings, but he was still like a money-grubber. A little bit of money was enough for him to be happy for a long time. He did not know if he had fallen into the hole of money or if he was very easily satisfied with his personality.
It could only be said that the young master, who had never lacked money, probably could not understand the joy of being able to get an additional bonus as a worker.
However, the two of them had worked together for so many years. Although Ji Jun always despised Lin Zi, found him annoying, nagging, and often did some unreliable things, he actually trusted this manager very much.
Hence, Ji Jun did not really blame Lin Zi after seeing through his schemes.
Lin Zi still did not know that Ji Jun had guessed what he had done because of his overly happy face. After receiving the CEO’s promise that he would give him an additional bonus next month, Lin Zi tactfully hung up and returned happily.
He was about to mention it to Ji Jun when he suddenly thought of a certain detail. However, just as he walked in, before he could speak, he heard Ji Jun say, “How much bonus can you get this time?”
Lin Zi instinctively wanted to reveal a number, but he came back to his senses when the words reached his mouth. He immediately bit his tongue and swallowed his words. He pretended to be stupid and said, “What bonus? Are you going to give me a bonus?”
Ji Jun turned his head and glanced at him. “Do you still remember what 1 said previously? I told you not to fantasize about being an actor? It’s because your acting skills are too lousy.” What he meant was that she should stop acting.
After Lin Zi was exposed, he could only admit honestly, “Alright, the CEO said that 1 did too well at work, so he wanted to reward me.”
Ji Jun spread his hands. “We’ll split it equally!”
Lin Zi’s expression became much more aggrieved. “Why?”
Ji Jun said matter-of-factly, “I’m the one actively doing business. Aren’t 1 the one who contributed the most?” Although he didn’t care about that bit of money, he inexplicably felt much better when he saw Lin Zi’s troubled expression..
