At Yue Gu Zai’s home in Las Vega, Yue Gu Zai met with Cheng Yi in the study room.
‘Cheng Yi, I want Yan Fen to take over Lam Ping’s position,’ Yue Gu Zai said. ‘Where’s my wife?’
Cheng Yi coughed awkwardly.
‘Boss, your wife is visiting Yan Fen in the guest room again,’ Cheng Yi said.
Cheng Yi was surprised Yue Gu Zai wanted to promote Yan Fen. He knew Yue Gu Zai was jealous Zhen Zhen didn’t cook for Yue Gu Zai in the last two days because she spent most of her time visiting the injured Yan Fen.
In the guest room, Zhen Zhen sliced an apple for Yan Fen.
‘Big brother Yan Fen, you’re awake,’ Zhen Zhen said. ‘How are you feeling?’
Yan Fen thought he was dreaming. Every night he dreamt of Zhen Zhen. But Zhen Zhen’s voice sounded real. He opened his eyes, and saw Zhen Zhen sitting on a chair in front of him.
‘Are you thirsty?’ Zhen Zhen asked.
Zhen Zhen was relieved Yan Fen’s complexion looked better than two days ago when Yue Gu Zai brought Yan Fen to Yue Gu Zai’s home. She saw Yan Fen as an older brother.
‘No thank you,’ Yan Fen said.
‘Big brother Yan Fen, why do you sound so distant?’ Zhen Zhen asked.
Yan Fen didn’t want to upset Zhen Zhen, he forced himself to smile and he looked at the apple slices on the table.
‘Did you cut the apple for me?’ Yan Fen asked.
‘Yes,’ Zhen Zhen said.
Zhen Zhen passed the plate of apple slices to Yan Fen and she smiled at him.
Yue Gu Zai and Cheng Yi walked into the guest room, and Yan Fen tensed on the bed.
‘Boss,’ Yan Fen said.
‘Yan Fen, it’s your lucky day,’ Cheng Yi said. ‘Boss wants to promote you. You’re taking over Lam Ping’s position.’
‘I don’t deserve the promotion,’ Yan Fen said. ‘If boss didn’t kill Lam Ping that day, I would have been the one killed.’
‘Don’t sell yourself short,’ Cheng Yi said. ‘If boss believes in you enough to personally nominate you then you deserve the promotion.’
‘Big brother Yan Fen, you should accept the promotion,’ Zhen Zhen said. ‘Think about the pay rise.’
‘Miss Zhen Zhen, I didn’t expect you’ll be motivated by money,’ Cheng Yi said.
‘Do you have a problem with me chasing my career ambitions and money?’ Zhen Zhen asked.
