Chapter 9 Yan's Family Affairs
The next day.
Yan Mingyu had Qin Yu drive to "Bowen Law Firm," where she talked with the lawyer Liu Xiaoxiao had introduced for about half an hour.
The lawyer said that in three days, the divorce agreement could be ready. Then, all they needed to do was to get that "husband" to come out, sign it, and the marriage would be dissolved.
On the way back.
Qin Yu was still driving with focused dedication.
Yan Mingyu, with her laptop in tow, typed on the keyboard with her slender and fair fingers for a while before looking at Qin Yu's back and saying, "There's a charity dinner tonight, you'll accompany me to it."
"That…"
Qin Yu glanced in the rearview mirror at the noble and charming woman, revealing an embarrassed expression.
"Not convenient? It's okay, then I'll..."
However, before Yan Mingyu could finish, Qin Yu hurriedly said, "President Yan, I just wanted to ask... how is overtime pay calculated?"
After speaking, his face turned red hot, feeling as if talking about money in front of this ethereal woman was a desecration of her.
"Hmm?"
Yan Mingyu was clearly taken aback, then she said, "Oh, you are now an S-Class employee, your overtime pay won't be less than one hundred per hour, rest assured!"
"Alright... when should I come pick you up tonight?"
"Ring ring...."
Just as Qin Yu finished speaking, his cellphone started ringing urgently.
He didn't answer the call because he knew it was from the creditors at his hometown.
Last night, after he returned to the rental house, the phone hadn't stopped ringing.
So, when Yan Mingyu asked him to work overtime at the charity dinner, he couldn't help asking how overtime was calculated.
He needed the money too badly!
"Ring ring…"
The phone continued to ring as if it was insisting on being answered by Qin Yu.
"President Yan, I need to take a call!"
Qin Yu cautiously looked in the rearview mirror and saw that Yan Mingyu, who was busy with work, was already frowning slightly.
Clearly, Qin Yu's phone call was disturbing her.
"How long will you take? I have a meeting at ten-thirty!"
Yan Mingyu glanced at her wristwatch, her time was always meticulously planned to the second.
"Ten seconds!"
"Okay!"
Qin Yu pulled the car over to the side of the road, jumped out after stopping it, and said hurriedly into the phone, "I'm driving for the boss right now, can I call you back at noon? Don't worry, I'll definitely pay back the money I owe you!"
He owes money?
Looking at the man's resolute face, Yan Mingyu felt puzzled.
Was a family member sick, or had he gotten into gambling, or perhaps he had a mortgage to pay?
But he was just her employee, why should she care about these things?
"All set, President Yan!"
Just when Yan Mingyu was musing, Qin Yu got back into the car.
"..."
Yan Mingyu's lips moved slightly, but in the end, she said nothing.
Back at the company.
Yan Mingyu made a phone call in her office before heading to a meeting with the senior management.
Qin Yu stood at the door, dutifully playing the role of a bodyguard.
"Whirr...."
At that moment, the cell phone vibrated.
He took it out and saw it was a text message from the bank, he had received a salary of thirty thousand yuan.
This much?
Qin Yu was pleasantly surprised, but then he realized a problem, it was only the end of the month, normally, salaries would be paid on the 10th of the next month.
Why had it been credited today?
Qin Yu scratched his head, utterly perplexed.
After Yan Mingyu finished her meeting, he walked side by side with Su Meng and quietly asked, "Secretary Su, did you get your salary?"
"Salary? No, not yet? What's today's date? It's still more than ten days away!"
Su Meng shook her head, puzzled.
"That's strange, why did I receive my salary?"
Qin Yu took out his phone and showed Su Meng the text message from the bank.
"Oh... is there a possibility that it's an advance from the company?"
Su Meng glanced at Qin Yu's phone several times and pondered before speaking.
"This... I don't know."
Qin Yu was indeed short of money, but having an inexplicable extra thirty thousand yuan in his account made him feel even more uneasy.
At last, he jogged a few steps and caught up with Yan Mingyu, "President Yan... was it you who arranged for my salary to be advanced by the company?"
"Is there a problem?"
Yan Mingyu's face was expressionless, her tone a bit cold. Since the meeting ended, she seemed to have an added layer of frost about her, but Qin Yu had been preoccupied with the thirty thousand yuan and hadn't noticed.
"Uh... thank you!"
Qin Yu said with gratitude.
Now, the urgent problem was finally alleviated.
"Current phones all support dual SIM dual standby, right? Get yourself another number for work. Keep your personal number on silent mode during work!"
Yan Mingyu stated matter-of-factly and then stepped into the elevator.
"Yes, President Yan!"
Qin Yu nodded and quickly followed her in.
Su Meng seemed to know something as she hugged her folder, her head lowered, looking as though she didn't dare to breathe too loudly.
It wasn't until Yan Mingyu entered her presidential office with the chill of cold air that Su Meng gently patted her chest.
"Um... did something happen?"
After sitting down, Qin Yu couldn't help but ask Su Meng in a low voice.
"Mm, several executives in the company are old subordinates of President Yan's mother, and they want her mother to return to the company. It really upset President Yan!"
Su Meng whispered very quietly.
"President Yan... her mother returning to the company... why is she angry?"
Qin Yu didn't quite understand. Wouldn't it be better for mother and daughter to manage the company together?
"How would I know about President Yan's family affairs!"
Su Meng shrugged.
"Okay, then you get back to work!"
Qin Yu didn't ask any further questions.
At noon, he took some time to go to a phone store and got a new number. He also transferred twenty-nine thousand of his still-warm salary to his creditors, leaving only a thousand yuan for living expenses.
In the afternoon, Yan Mingyu barely left her office. It was only just before leaving work that she pushed open the door and walked out.
She glanced indifferently at Qin Yu, "Go drive the car!"
"Yes!"
Qin Yu nodded, and during the drive, he gave Yan Mingyu his new number.
The previous number had only been saved by Yan Mingyu in the last few days, because the company policy was that Qin Yu had a week's trial period, so she had never saved his number before.
As for the message sent that night he returned to the country to that "husband," it had been deleted the same night.
So, she really did not notice that the "husband" and Qin Yu shared the same number.
Before long.
Jinding Building.
After Qin Yu drove the car into the parking garage, he walked with Yan Mingyu into the splendid lobby.
"President Yan!"
"President Yan!"
All along the way, people continuously greeted Yan Mingyu.
It seemed, she was naturally the protagonist.
In any situation, she was the most dazzling pearl.
"Mm!"
Yan Mingyu nodded slightly in acknowledgment without staying on the first floor, instead leading Qin Yu to the second floor.
Even more luxurious and imposing.
Not many people, but clearly every single one was a prominent figure of the city.
"Oh, my lovely daughter, I thought you wouldn't come!"
A woman who appeared still charming, holding a glass of wine and leaning on a burly man with a full beard, walked towards Yan Mingyu.
"If I didn't come, others might think I was afraid of you!"
Yan Mingyu responded icily.
Looking at the relationship between the woman and her, it hardly seemed like that of mother and daughter.
