Chapter Two: Hired by a Tyrant

Xin Yan swallows her dislike and rushes to them

"Mr Jin Jianyu! I'm..."

Valerie quickly and rudely interrupts Xin Yan

"Liu Xin Yan, my baby cousin..."

"Distant cousins you mean, right Valerie? Anyway, to the elevator shall we?"

While in the Elevator, Valerie constantly waves her hand in the air to make Xin Yan notice her ring, but Xin Yan purposefully ignores the ring

"Xin Yan, my hobby is so sweet, if you follow my social media pages, you would see the Teddy my baby bought me. Cost five hundred thousands only."

"Is that so? Let me get this straight, you can afford a Teddy for five hundred thousands when there are poor orphanages?"

On hearing that, Jin slightly picks at Xin Yan

*This girl! She ignores me in the presence of her cousin and also knows how to pick on Valerie (chuckles) she looks really cute though, what a figure. I find her interesting.*

Valerie feels pissed and embarrassed at what Xin Yan said

*This little brat! Liu Xin Yan, what gives you the right to embarrass me in front of Jin Jianyu?*

"(forces smile) absolutely not, do you think I'm stingy?"

Xin Yan knows that the question has only one target so before Valerie Chang can begin her useless show, she seals her response, because she's far too old to fall for any of Valerie's old and dirty tricks

"Stingy? Those are your words not mine"

Valerie gets super pissed her face turns red butJin notices the situation and gets between the ladies. This is actually when it occurs to Xin Yan that she forgot about Jin Jianyu who her most attention is to be focused

*Darn it! I spent my arguing with my client's girlfriend I forgot why they came. Jin doesn't seem to care at all and he doesn't look angry at me...aren't this CEOs always defensive with their girls?*

*Ting*

elevator door opens, Xin Yan comes out first and leads the way for the couple. Everyone pays respect to Jin and Valerie as they enter. After a few pictures are shot, Xin Yan checks the picture with the camera man

"Uncle, how come the pictures at this bad? Where is that extra light coming from?"

"It's from Miss Chang's ring. Please Miss Liu, she's your cousin, so please tell she to take it off."

Xin Yan knows going to ask Valerie to take off her ring will only make her brag more as Valerie still believes Xin Yan hasn't seen the ring, so she denies the Camera man and asks him to do it himself and if he's reluctant and Mr Jin doesn't like the pictures, the blame will be put on him. The poor Camera man approaches Valerie

"Uhm...mis..Miss Chang?"

*Disgusted*

"If you wish to speak with me the take six steps back, you make me sick"

The Camara man looks at his legs and hands to see if he's got leprosy that makes him soo disgusting to Valerie Chang

*Miss Chang is so rude! why does she think so highly of herself?*

He obediently moves the number of steps backwards

"Miss Chang, can you please take off your ring? it's ruining the picture"

Valerie gets all mad and starts yelling at the Camara man in front of everyone

"are you crazy?! Do you know how much this gorgeous ring costs?! This is Worth more than you salary you know that?! How dare..."

Jin gets his fill of her yelling and he's completely embarrassed that she would yell at someone just because of a ring that would be off for just about two minutes so addressees it himself

"Will you just stop yelling and take it off?!"

His voice echoes around the room that if this was a movie, it would have probably made the room fall. Everyone stays silent looking at Valerie and Jin, Valerie takes off the ring with nowhere to hide the big disgrace on her forehead. Xin Yan couldn't help but notice that something is odd about those two

*What's going on? Jin Jianyu doesn't care about embarrassing Valerie and that's awfully odd. But still (chuckles) that was a good one*

Throughout, Xin Yan completely avoids the ring issue which gets Jin Jianyu's attention even more

*Liu Xin Yan, she's quite clever with technical matters especially with Valerie, interesting*

After the pictures are taken, Jin Jianyu and Valerie leave the company while Xin Yan stays a bit long in the Photo room to cross-check the pictures. She later leaves to drop pictures at Mr Moi's office

*Mr Moi's office*

Xin Yan enters the office and finds Mr. Moi sweating real bad

*heesh!*

"Mr. Moi are you okay? you look like you're gonna get a heart attack!"

"(lies) no no, I'm fine. I see you brought the pics, drop them here"

"Okay (drops the pics) if you don't want to talk (leaving) I'll just attend your funeral"

*door shuts*

On her way to her office, she bumps into Jin Jianyu who pulls her to a certain corner

*ahhh*

"Mr. Jin Jianyu how rude, you just...aww my wrist"

"Which of us do you think is rude"

She hesitates, but she speaks

"Y...you are."

Jin pins her to the wall and raises her head, chin up

"It can't be me, I'm not the one who refused to see my cousin's ring am I?"

*Oh no, he saw what I was doing?*

"(guilty) I don't know what you're talking about and besides, what are you doing here and this is a place of Work, we can't talk here and certainly not in this... position."

"Well sorry not sorry, this is the position I want to talk in and this is exactly where I want us to be. Valerie's gone, I sent her home. I'm here because I like what I see"

"(Firm denial) NO Mr. Jin! I'm not cut out to be some rich uncle's side chick"

*Did she just call me Uncle*

"Quit the Uncle joke, you are absolutely dirty minded aren't you? I'm saying I like your skills and smartness, but I also like...you. So I'm hiring you as my Assistant instead of Valerie"

Xin Yan pushes him away and starts laughing. Jin waits her to finish laughing and explain to him the joke

"You can't be serious, I can't believe I'm feeling so easy with Jin Jianyu. I'm sorry Mr. Jin Jianyu but I'm already busy with being a reporter and even though I like pissing off Valerie I still won't work for you."

"Well, well, too bad you'll be jobless for some time. Moi already fired you, I already hired you. All has been decided, see you on Monday my cute assistant."

Jin leaves Xin Yan standing there in shock. She snaps back to reality and realizes everything has actually happened.

"What-The-Fuck just happened?"

Xin Yan rushes to Mr. Moi's office to confront him, she barges into his office and meets him making out with her little arch enemy, but she pays no attention to that

" Why did you decide my fate with Jin Jianyu?"

"It's not easy to say no to that man and see the next day, so honey go home and prepare for your new life."

Xin Yan storms out of the office and finds a ride home. Xin Yan's real issue is not working for Jianyu, it's working for Valerie.
