A Promise with Siwu

Jiang Fan had only cared about the momentary pleasure, but then he received a scolding phone call from his mother. The girl had gone to complain again, and he was reprimanded for over ten minutes before his mother finally hung up. Jiang Fan felt uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it, so he called his mother-in-law. When the call was connected, Jiang Fan began to cry, complaining about Tang Wan's tyrannical behavior.

"Mom, I really can't eat sea snails. Tang Wan forced me to eat them. When I didn't, she hit me with her forehead. Mom! My life is so hard."

Li Jinhe felt a headache as she listened to her son-in-law's cries. She covered her head and gritted her teeth, saying,

"This little girl has had a hard head since she was young! Don't cry. Mom will help you get revenge. Give her the phone!"

Jiang Fan promptly handed the phone to Tang Wan, who was lying aside and already furious. Unexpectedly, the girl took the phone and hung up immediately. Jiang Fan's eyes widened, and he stood up and ran, but it was too late.

In short, Jiang Fan didn't sleep well that night.

When he woke up the next morning, Tang Wan had already gone to work. Jiang Fan dragged his exhausted body to the company and fell asleep on the desk.

He realized that his exhaustion was not from work but from dealing with Tang Wan. This life was too difficult.

Subsequently, Chen Yi and Liu Jiulong walked into the office together. The two were surprised to see Jiang Fan there so early. However, they were also tired and had dark circles under their eyes. Chen Yi took out a can of oolong tea from his pocket and placed it beside Jiang Fan's desk, saying weakly,

"Why are you here so early today? It's unlike you. Something unexpected happened yesterday. My current girlfriend and my soon-to-be current girlfriend met. One wanted to cut her wrists, and the other wanted to jump off a building. Fan, this charm is too much; it's suffering."

Jiang Fan nodded in agreement with Chen Yi. The two troubled souls opened their oolong tea and clinked their cups. Liu Jiulong, who wanted to join in, sighed in complaint.

Ah!

These two troublemakers had too much charm, but what about him? He had no charm to speak of.

Being young is good.

As he sighed, the two guys turned around and looked up at Liu Jiulong. Chen Yi joked,

"Did Deputy Supervisor Liu have a thorough night of 'paying the public grain'? You look so tired."

Liu Jiulong reached out and patted Chen Yi on the shoulder, sighing,

"When you reach my age, you'll understand what it means to be unable to do what you want. Enjoy yourself while you're young."

Just as he finished speaking, Yang Jin, who was somewhat unusual, walked into the office. Today, Yang Jin was wearing a pink sports outfit and a pair of pink Nike sneakers, giving off a youthful aura.

This outfit...

Jiang Fan whistled and grinned, saying,

"I heard that we're getting a new member in our general department. I didn't expect it to be such a pretty girl. Hi, I'm Jiang Fan."

Yang Jin was a bit embarrassed by Jiang Fan and glared at this mischievous kid before running to the office. This caused Liu Jiulong, who was holding a milk tea, to lose his chance to offer it to her. He could only stare blankly as Yang Jin disappeared into the door. Just at this moment, Fang Shanshan walked into the general department. Chen Yi saw this and immediately called out,

"Shanshan, Deputy Supervisor Liu prepared milk tea for you. Why didn't you take it? Don't you see that Fan and I both have oolong tea on our desks?"

It was no secret that Deputy Supervisor Liu liked Yang Jin in the general department. Fang Shanshan took the milk tea and smiled charmingly, saying,

"Thank you, Deputy Supervisor Liu."

The milk tea prepared for Yang Jin was taken by Fang Shanshan. Liu Jiulong piled a stack of documents on the desks of Jiang Fan and Chen Yi, angrily saying,

"Since you both drank my oolong tea, you can make the plan for the water park."

Chen Yi, who had originally wanted to catch up on sleep, lifted his head and asked suspiciously,

"Deputy Supervisor Liu, why are there so many things happening in our general department recently? Did you receive any news?"

Li Jiulong pressed the shoulders of the two young men and sighed lightly, saying,

"You're right. The higher-ups have been dissatisfied with the general department, and Su is also in a difficult position. I think the higher-ups want to turn the general department into a truly comprehensive one, integrating various departments such as planning, marketing, business, operations, and so on. I'm not entirely sure about the specifics. The task was assigned by Su. You two just do it, and Shanshan, don't idle around. Assign this task."

Jiang Fan looked at Chen Yi, and they exchanged a glance and sighed. Wasn't this just creating trouble for themselves?

Jiang Fan and Chen Yi spent the whole morning organizing the general plan and ideas. They didn't need anyone else's help. Yang Jin, who looked a bit too childish, took a look and went to give it to Su Qing.

It was time for Jiang Fan's most anticipated event of the day again.

Lunchtime.

Liu Jiulong, Shanshan, Da Qian, Jiang Fan, and Chen Yi went to the cafeteria together and encountered Yang Xuan there.

The six of them occupied a large table. Shanshan and Da Qian happily went to buy water, while Chen Yi bought a bowl of beef noodles for Jiang Fan, saying that he was tired of seeing Jiang Fan eat rice every day and that he should try something different. Jiang Fan considered himself not picky about food.

Shanshan distributed the water to everyone. At this moment, Yang Xuan suddenly spoke up,

"Fan, do you want to eat a chicken leg?"

Jiang Fan looked at the noodles in his bowl and was about to speak when Chen Yi, who was sitting next to Yang Xuan, spoke up,

"What's the matter? You only have eyes for Jiang Fan and not for your Yi brother? Wasn't it when you came to the general department and demanded that I buy you snacks? I also want a chicken leg."

Yang Xuan raised her head and sniffed proudly. When she came back, she actually bought two chicken legs, one for Deputy Supervisor Liu and one for Jiang Fan, but none for Chen Yi. Chen Yi was unhappy, and Yang Xuan didn't give him a chance to speak. She sneered,

"Who doesn't know that you're a playboy? At that time, you bought me snacks because you didn't know that Yang Jin was my sister. You wanted to hit on me... No, you wanted to please me for the contact information of the girls in the company."

"I can testify to that!"

Fang Shanshan raised her hand to join in the fun. Instantly, the three girls at the table looked at Chen Yi with disdain in their eyes. Jiang Fan smiled and took the chicken leg, intending to put it in his mouth. Suddenly, his phone vibrated. With many things going on, Jiang Fan didn't dare to delay. He put down the chicken leg and picked up his phone.

It was an unknown number.

Just as Jiang Fan answered the call, Chen Yi swiftly snatched the chicken leg away. Yang Xuan stood up to grab it, but Jiang Fan spoke up at this moment,

"Siwu?"

The table suddenly became quiet. Yang Xuan stood there motionless, and Chen Yi's mouth, which was tearing the chicken leg, froze. He widened his eyes and looked at Jiang Fan.

Did Wu Siwu dare to call Jiang Fan?

It was unclear what Wu Siwu said, but Jiang Fan stood up and waved to the others, saying into the phone,

"Wait for me a moment. I'll be there now."

After finishing his words, Jiang Fan left the cafeteria. The five people left at the table looked at each other. Chen Yi pinched his chin and said suspiciously,

"Do you think this little lady Wu Siwu has a crush on Fan? She's calling him even after leaving the general department. Doesn't she have any shame?"

Da Qian sneered disdainfully,

"Fan is also useless. He went just because of one phone call?"

Hearing this, Chen Yi slapped his leg and exclaimed,

"Is Wu Siwu going to throw herself at him?"

As a result, Chen Yi received three slaps.

Again, it was the café opposite the company building. Jiang Fan and Wu Siwang sat facing each other in a private room. Today, this young girl was dressed provocatively, with a short skirt, stockings, high heels, a low-cut vest, and a waistcoat. Wu Siwang wasn't considered beautiful, but her first impression was stunning. She wasn't the type who could be admired for long.

Gone were the days of her conservative, youthful appearance. This mature and seductive attire made Jiang Fan feel a bit uneasy.

Actually, Wu Siwang was one year older than Jiang Fan, but he habitually called her "little girl."

Just as Jiang Fan took out his cigarettes, Wu Siwang suddenly took out a pack from her bag and handed it to him, the exquisite "Thirteen Beauties of Nanjing," skillfully held between her red lips.

Click.

The pale blue flame ignited the cigarette.

Seeing Wu Siwang blow out a smoke ring, Jiang Fan couldn't help but smile.

"Did I underestimate you, or have you been hiding too deeply?"

After hearing this, Wu Siwang giggled charmingly.

"Jiang Fan, I've never hidden anything from you. It's just that you've never paid attention to me. Or perhaps I haven't hidden anything from anyone; it's just that my presence is too low. Actually, Li Dongsheng knows I smoke."

Huh?

Jiang Fan picked up his coffee and then put it down, puzzled.

"Given Li Dongsheng's personality, if he knows, doesn't that mean his mother knows too? Does Zhang Qin still agree to let Li Dongsheng clear your shopping cart?"

Wu Siwang leaned forward slightly, squinting and smiling.

"Li Dongsheng isn't that obedient. There are some things I can give him that his mother can't. I have my needs, and Li Dongsheng has what he wants. As for afterwards, I tried my best to make Li Dongsheng resent you. You should already know the reason, right? I'll tell you! It's for a car and a job that can earn more."

This straightforward and direct Wu Siwang really caught Jiang Fan off guard. He took a sip of coffee to calm himself and said softly,

"So, I should thank you for stirring things up, huh? After all, you're the source that led me onto a path with no return. It's just that I don't understand. Did you ask me to come here just to tell me this?"

"Otherwise, why?"

Wu Siwang didn't seem to think she had done anything wrong to Jiang Fan. Naturally, Jiang Fan didn't need an apology from this passerby. He pinched out the cigarette butt and pocketed it, then took out two hundred yuan from his wallet and placed it on the table, saying calmly,

"Then there's no reason for us to continue this conversation. I'm not a bodhisattva, magnanimously thinking you did nothing wrong and being grateful to you."

Wu Siwang held the cigarette with one hand, lazily leaning against the sofa. The change in her was like heaven and earth in Jiang Fan's eyes. The obedient, meek little thing had instantly transformed into a social delinquent? Wu Siwang looked at the two hundred yuan on the table and chuckled.

"Jiang Fan, has anyone ever said you have high IQ but low EQ? Specifically regarding women. If I felt apologetic to you, I definitely wouldn't appear in front of you again. The principle of 'water flows downhill' is something you, Jiang Fan, understand better than anyone."

"A waterfall and a sewer are not the same thing."

"I already knew you were good at insulting people. Jiang Fan, do you think Li Dahai and Li Dongsheng will easily accept this five percent loss? Or do you think Li Dahai is willing to let his son leave Rongyao? Liu Shengge will have no successor!"

Jiang Fan, who was preparing to leave, furrowed his brows, turned around, and said coldly,

"Just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush."

Wu Siwang chuckled.

"I don't know what Li Dahai thinks, but let me tell you something about the company first. Lao Bai and Dong Bin are both relatives of Li Dongsheng and can be considered his two henchmen in the general affairs department. What about me? Just a little servant girl who serves tea and water. It's just that Zhang Qin never expected her obedient and well-behaved child to have climbed into my bed. The reason Gao Lvxing gets the support of many department managers in the company is mostly because of Li Dahai. You saw it that day; Gao Lvxing was showing favor to the Li family."

"Just say what you want to do."

"I've given my body to Li Dongsheng, and now Zhang Qin wants to kick me out. Li Dongsheng, this mama's boy, will have his fill of me sexually one day. Jiang Fan! I need a sum of money, not a small amount."

"Can't Li Dongsheng satisfy your financial needs?"

"He can cover my daily expenses, but I'm not satisfied. Why does Zhang Qin think I can be bought with just a few favors?"

Jiang Fan furrowed his brows, returned to the sofa, crossed his legs, took out Gao Lvxing's lighter, and ignited the cigarette in his hand. When Wu Siwang saw the lighter, her eyes lit up instantly, and the corners of her mouth curved upward slightly. At this moment, Jiang Fan, holding the cigarette and looking at the ceiling, said indifferently,

"Do you think there's anything about you that I would admire? Wu Siwang, you've overestimated yourself."

Wu Siwang's expression didn't change. She took a small sip of coffee, squinted, and smiled.

"I know, Jiang Fan, you're a proud swan. You definitely wouldn't be interested in my body. What I can do is be an insider for you. At least now, Li Dongsheng is just a fledgling. There are many things he hasn't experienced yet, and I still have some time."

"You would betray Li Dongsheng for money, and you would betray me too. Do you think you're credible? Besides, I heard that women value their first man a lot, don't they?"

"Jiang Fan, you might be out of touch with this world. I don't know what you've experienced, and I don't know how big your circle is. I can only say that I only like money. The premise for me to betray you is that I can betray and sell you out. Do you have anything that I can sell out now?"

"Huh."

Jiang Fan blew a smoke ring towards the ceiling, spat out the cigarette butt which landed on the table, and Wu Siwang picked up the butt and placed it in her coffee cup. She didn't rush to speak. Jiang Fan slowly lowered his head, smiled at Wu Siwang, took one of the two hundred yuan bills from the table, stood up, and as he walked out of the private room, he paused and said softly,

"Don't degrade yourself. There are many ways to earn money, and it's not related to gender."

Wu Siwang, who had been smiling, suddenly stiffened. She raised both hands to cover her face and made a humming sound with her nose.

Jiang Fan left.

As he walked out of the café, Jiang Fan took several deep breaths. This world was vastly different from what he had imagined. This girl, Wu Siwang, was very daring and ambitious. Jiang Fan never expected her to exploit Zhang Qin's blind spot to control Li Dongsheng.

Jiang Fan didn't know how to evaluate this girl.

Hardworking? Risk-taking?

Perhaps she wasn't so reckless. Ultimately, she could only be evaluated by money.

Jiang Fan was a miser, and Wu Siwang was also a miser.

They were the same kind of people. No one could say who was good or bad. In this world where people laughed at poverty but not at prostitution, perhaps a girl like Wu Siwang could live a comfortable life.

After crossing the road and seeing the four big characters of "Rongyao Group," Jiang Fan took a deep breath, took out his phone, and said,

"Let's meet somewhere tonight. You choose the place, but don't make it too shabby."

The other side agreed quickly. Jiang Fan put down his phone and ran. If he ran faster, he could still catch some leftovers, but unfortunately, Jiang Fan was a step too slow. Seeing the aunties who were already cleaning up the cafeteria, Jiang Fan was annoyed and stomped his feet, leaving the Rongyao building in a fit of anger.

When he returned, he had an extra bread and a sausage in his hand.

It was only four yuan. He would drink water back in the general affairs department.

Who would have guessed that this was Jiang Fan, the miser who wouldn't even blink an eye when spending a hundred thousand yuan?
