I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 392 Zhou Rong's Small Favor

Zhou Rong thought for a moment, then immediately dialed Wei Lin's number. As soon as the call connected, she asked, "Wei Lin, why did you recharge your account on Irina? Did you use up the money from last time so quickly? Where are you?"

Wei Lin had already gotten into the car and said with a smile, "I gave the card to a friend last time. I came here for a massage this time and just topped up a little. Sister Zhou, I'm done with my services and just left!"

"You come all the way to Irina and don't even bother to look at me? You're not being a good friend!"

Zhou Rong said angrily.

Wei Lin grinned and said, "Next time! Next time I'll definitely come upstairs to have coffee with you, Sister Zhou. I have other things to do today, so I won't make it."

Zhou Rong snorted angrily and said, "Fine, remember to look for me next time!"

After hanging up the phone, she squinted and frowned in thought.

Last night, she and her close friends, including Zhu Jun, went to the male model event again.

She could tell that the eldest sister, Zhu Jun, was in high spirits, as if she had encountered some happy event, and even the male model was giving her more tips than usual.

Later, when Zhu Jun was drunk, she couldn't help but ask why. Zhu Jun said that Wei Lin had helped her ex-husband and solved a problem that had been bothering him for a long time.

Both Zhou Rong and Zhao Lianyun were taken aback.

They knew all too well Huo Jiaxiong's status and position, and that Huo Jiaxiong had played a significant role in Zhu Jun's success, which was now being promoted to the position of Mayor of Jinling City.

Wei Lin actually did Huo Jiaxiong a favor?

This was utterly unbelievable to Zhou Rong.

Zhu Jun then explained that Qin Wei from Jinling City had come all the way to Linjiang City to invite Wei Lin to dinner, with Han Jie also accompanying them, and Huo Shiqi was specially invited as well.

Zhou Rong didn't know Qin Wei's background, but she knew that Han Jie was the son of the richest man in Linjiang City. After Zhu Jun explained Qin Wei's situation, she understood what Qin Wei meant.

She knew better than anyone what she had relied on to get to where she was today; Qin Wei's background was clearly more powerful than Han Jie's.

She immediately sighed, realizing that Wei Lin, whom she hadn't seen for a while, had clearly moved into a higher social circle.

"Even someone like Huo Jiaxiong has a use for Wei Lin, this kid..."

Zhou Rong pondered for a moment, then called Ling Yao to her office and asked, "What's the situation with my brother? Has he been coming over often lately?"

Ling Yao felt apprehensive and stood upright, unconsciously clenching her fists.

After taking several deep breaths, she said, "Brother Wei, no! President Wei hasn't come for a long time."

"I don't know what got into him. He suddenly scheduled a physical therapy session with me today. I told him I could use Sister Lin's card, but he wouldn't let me!"

Ling Yao thought Zhou Rong was blaming her for tricking Wei Lin into spending money, so she explained again, "President Zhou, I know about your relationship with President Wei. I really didn't mean for him to spend money!"

The young beautician was terrified, looking pitiful and wronged, her head bowed and uneasy.

Since she joined Irina, she has never been summoned by the big boss. Every time she sees Zhou Rong, she just greets her and doesn't dare to say anything more.

"hehe."

Zhou Rong smiled calmly.

She keenly noticed that when Ling Yao first addressed Wei Lin, she called him "Brother Wei." She looked at Ling Yao's figure and appearance and seemed to suddenly understand something.

"Xiao Ling, right?"

Zhou Rong glanced at Ling Yao's work badge, a smile subtly playing on her lips. She said gently, "Don't be nervous, I don't mean to blame you. My brother is a really good person. Remember, don't talk about his affairs with others, especially that Lin Nanxi."

She knew all too well how much of a womanizer Wei Lin was.

She knew a little about Zhuang Qing, Lin Nanxi, and even Shen Yanfei through Huo Shiqi.

Huo Shiqi's cosmetics brand is also under Tianxuan Beauty, and she has been seeing Huo Shiqi quite often recently, helping Huo Shiqi streamline her business.

Naturally, the two would occasionally talk about Wei Lin, mostly about his quirky and interesting stories.

She was afraid that Ling Yao might not keep her mouth shut and would gossip about it inside the company, causing Wei Lin to get into trouble.

Ling Yao quickly replied, "President Zhou, I understand our basic professional ethics!"

Zhou Rong expressed her satisfaction, her smile widening as she said, "Xiao Ling, you have quite a few advantages. Since my brother has asked you for help, you must take good care of him and not neglect him in the slightest."

Ling Yao quickly replied, "President Zhou, I can figure it out!"

"Ah."

Zhou Rong nodded gently, then looked Ling Yao up and down carefully for a few more moments before saying meaningfully, "Little girl, keep up the good work. If you can get along well with my brother, you won't have to worry about the rest of your life."

She knew a little about Wei Lin's current financial situation.

Based on her understanding of Wei Lin, she knew that he was extremely generous to every woman around him and took good care of each of them.

She felt that Wei Lin might have feelings for Ling Yao, and the thought that Ling Yao was her employee, Irina, made her a little happy.

Ling Yao understood the meaning behind her words, but pretended not to understand and kept her head down without saying a word.

"Alright, you can go ahead and get busy."

Zhou Rong didn't offer any further guidance, and gestured for Ling Yao to leave.

After a pause, she made a call to Ling Yao's supervisor and instructed, "Give Ling Yao in your beauty department a raise. Also, increase her commission rate by one level. That's all."

Since Wei Lin had taken a liking to Ling Yao, Zhou Rong decided to do him a favor and offer him some practical benefits.

If Wei Lin finds out later, he will surely remember her kindness, and Zhou Rong might even need Wei Lin's help someday.

"Qin Wei, Han Jie, and I heard from Huo Shiqi that Huang Xingzhi and Qian Zixu are also there."

"Plus Ma Yungui and Zhao Fulong, tsk tsk."

"Without realizing it, this kid is doing better than me in Linjiang City!"

Zhou Rong sighed.

……

Ling Yao had just left Zhou Rong's office when Qi Yu, the head of the beauty department, called her to her office.

Qi Yu and Huang Ting, who were in charge of cosmetic surgery, worked in different departments. She was unaware of the relationship between Wei Lin and Zhou Rong, and she also found it strange and puzzling. "Ling Yao, what's the situation on your end?"

"President Zhou just announced that your base salary will increase from 2,000 to 3,000, and your performance commission will increase from 10% to 15%."

"You're not related to President Zhou, are you?"

Qi Yu said with a strange expression.

Zhou Rong's actions were completely contrary to the rules she set, and they were simply unacceptable.

A beautician's basic salary is linked to their seniority, while their commission rate is closely related to their total monthly sales.

Ling Yao's length of service wasn't long enough, so according to the rules, her base salary was only two thousand. It was strange that it suddenly became three thousand.

Her total sales this month, including Wei Lin's 30,000 yuan recharge, barely reached 50,000 yuan.

According to the rules set by Zhou Rong, she could only take 10% of the performance bonus, but now it has suddenly become 15%.

Qi Yu was completely baffled and thought that Ling Yao might be related to Zhou Rong, otherwise it wouldn't make sense.

"Huh? Mr. Zhou gave me a raise? How could this be?"

Ling Yao was also taken aback.

This extra thousand yuan in base salary, plus the extra 5% commission, means that her salary next month will suddenly increase by three thousand five hundred.

If we add Wei Lin's 10% commission from the 30,000 yuan, that's 6,500 yuan.

On average, her monthly salary is around 18,000 yuan, the majority of which comes from the commission she receives for each service she provides.

Now, thanks to Wei Lin's arrival, his 30,000 yuan sales performance, and Zhou Rong's words, her salary next month is expected to exceed 30,000 yuan!

Without Wei Lin, she would earn at most 15,000 next month.

"Sister Qi, Mr. Zhou did talk to me just now. It's because one of my clients knows Mr. Zhou, and he calls Mr. Zhou 'sister'."

Ling Yao hurriedly explained.

"Is that the CEO Wei who recharged 30,000 yuan?"

Qi Yu inquired.

Ling Yao nodded and honestly said, "The first time President Wei contacted me was arranged by Manager Huang from the medical aesthetics department. President Zhou gave him a card, which he gave to a friend. This is the second time he has contacted me."

"Sister Qi, I didn't mean for him to top up his account; he insisted on doing it himself. I've already explained that to President Zhou."

"President Zhou didn't blame me, nor did she say anything. I don't know what she was thinking."

Ling Yao said anxiously

Qi Yu muttered something, then nodded and said, "I see."

The woman, who was nearly forty, looked at Ling Yao with a scrutinizing gaze. After a long while, she smiled slightly and said, "President Wei is your benefactor. You must serve him well."

Qi Yu roughly understood the reason and guessed that Wei Lin probably had designs on this young beauty in the beauty department, so President Zhou did him a favor by going along with it.

Ling Yao quickly replied, "I will!"

"okay."

Qi Yu waved her hand, indicating that Ling Yao could leave, and then added, "Remember, don't talk to your colleagues about your situation, because that's against the rules."

Ling Yao obediently replied, "I understand."

……

Back in the beautician's break room, Ling Yao ran into Li Ling, who was also not working.

"Wow, you actually closed a big deal at the end of the month! Yao, you have to treat us!"

Li Ling noticed Ling Yao's order information in the work group and excitedly asked, "Who is that General Manager Wei? How old is he? Is he handsome?"

"Handsome! Really handsome!" Ling Yao was also excited, and said with a smile, "Brother Wei is thirty years old this year, and I think he's divorced and doesn't have any children yet. Sister Ling, he came all the way here to get a massage from me, does that mean he's interested in me?"

Li Ling pinched her plump, collagen-rich cheeks and teased with a smile, "What? Are you in heat?"

“I do like him quite a bit, but…” Ling
Yao broke free from Li Ling's hand, sighed, and said, "Brother Wei has a girlfriend."

She kept Zhou Rong's reminder in mind and dared not say that she knew Wei Lin had at least two girlfriends.

"So what if he has a girlfriend? He's not married!"

"Besides, even if he really got married, he can still get a divorce! You said he's young and handsome, isn't it normal for him to have a girlfriend?"

"Yao, have you had any private contact with him? Is this guy generous?"

"Let me tell you! As long as they're generous and willing to spend money on you, don't worry about anything else!"

"Yao, I support you in winning him over!"

Li Ling strongly encouraged it.

Ling Yao thought about it carefully and said, "He... seems to be very generous."

Lin Nanxi's company was founded with money from Wei Lin, and Shen Yanfei's house and car were also purchased in full by Wei Lin, which she already knew.

Wei Lin is naturally generous.

"That's fine then! Don't worry about anything else!"

Li Ling smiled and said, "Men are all the same; none of them can stand having too many women around them! As long as they're willing to pay, you can completely turn a blind eye. Of course, you have to remember not to act until you see tangible benefits. Only let him have his way when you see real money!"

"Yao, you can't let someone take advantage of you for nothing!"

Li Ling offered her advice based on her own experience.

Ling Yao: "Oh."
