Chapter 9: Dating Hurts the Wallet_1

"A hundred thousand for a month, isn't that a loss?"

The man's voice was low and unhurried.

His hot breath brushed against her face, carrying with it an undeniable sensation.

Especially when he mentioned 'a hundred thousand for a month', Yan Ling felt as if her heart was going to burst out of her chest. Her face suddenly flushed.

Despite its straightforward phrasing, she couldn't help but conjure up a vividly colorful image.

Tut, tut, tut, Yan Ling, wake up.

This 'use' is not that 'use'!

Although this 'fake husband' was perfect in her eyes, his commission was so high. What if she had to continue employing him for an extended period? Wouldn't she go bankrupt?

Thinking of her already depleted bank account, Yan Ling's rationality swiftly returned.

She subtly retreated from the man's side, chuckled awkwardly, and replied, "Having a month to be married to a remarkable man like Mr. Qi is already a big honor in my life. How could I possibly be at a loss? I have some things to attend to, so I'll leave the conversation here for now. See you next time!"

Afraid of making a wallet-damaging decision under the temptation of beauty, she also made a quick exit.

She watched the girl retreat, her speed akin to that of a tiger being pursued. A faint smile crept up on the man's lips.

Assistant Jin, who had just gotten out of the car, was almost dumbfounded at the sight of the rare tender expression on their president's face, as well as the little red notebook in his hand.

His boss, who'd always been indifferent to women, was actually getting married!

Moreover, his wife-to-be was an unfamiliar woman, someone they had only met once during a blind date.

If this news got out, wouldn't it shock all the socialites in Haishi?

No, not just in Haishi, but probably all the socialites around the world would go crazy!

Despite the shock waves that were surging in Assistant Jin's heart,

As a top-tier assistant, he knew what to say and what to keep to himself.

Assistant Jin walked over to Qi Yunjue, acting as if he knew nothing and briefed him on work matters in a serious tone, "President, half an hour ago, Borrman Hotel's network firewall was hacked."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yunjue frowned slightly and asked, "Were any data tampered with or lost?"

"No, the hacker's actions were quite strange. They just decrypted the network password, linked up with the multimedia equipment in Banquet Hall No. 2, and then retreated. However, you can rest assured, President. I already had our technical director intercept the video file that they sent…"

Banquet Hall No. 2?

The hotel's manager had called him this morning to inform him that the Eldest Young Master of the Shen Family had booked the entire hotel for his six-year love anniversary party.

Upon recalling the image of the young woman earlier, with her eyes full of resentment as she watched the couple, Qi Yunjue had a hunch. His eyes darken with suspicion, and he instructed, "Leave it be."

Assistant Jin's expression stalled for several seconds before he could comprehend the meaning.

The president was asking him not to hinder the hacker's video transmission.

Even though he was puzzled, he didn't hesitate at all and responded, "Alright, I will tell them to release the intercepted files immediately!"

After handling the issue, Assistant Jin brought up another topic, "Mr. President, we have news about the woman you asked us to locate. She recently returned to the country and is in…"

"Don't bother."

Assistant Jin: ???

What did he mean?

Hadn't the president been looking for that woman for five years?

Why was he not interested in looking for her now that they had news about her?

"Was it because of Miss Yan today?"

Assistant Jin knew he shouldn't have asked, but he was fully aware of how important that woman was to the president five years ago. Had it not been for her, the president would have been unlikely to escape those schemes unscathed or have two lovely children, adding life and hope to his cold existence.

"Mr. President, Miss Yan today was obviously harboring ulterior motives. The whole town of Haishi recognizes you, yet she was blatantly pretending not to know you. She even purposely used one hundred thousand yuan to insult you and draw your attention. She…"

Assistant Jin's angry words were shut off midway by the cold glare from the man, rendering him speechless.
