After the final round, Bai Tao was so exhausted that she was almost delirious. Her knees were red and bruised, clearly from being repeatedly rubbed raw.

Pei Jin was only wearing gray sweatpants, his shirt was bare, and there were faint red crescent marks on his chest and shoulders, which Bai Tao had pinched out with her fingernails.

He sat on the edge of the bed, and in the light of the lamp, he looked down at her knees, which were red all over. He frowned slightly.

If it goes on any longer, the skin will probably get raw.

The bed sheets he bought outside were still of poor quality, so he got up, took a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator, wrapped it in a towel, and gently applied it to her skin for a while.

Bai Tao was half asleep when, a second later, her wrist was gently lifted.

"Pei Jin, are you a scumbag? I'm already like this..."

You're still thinking about self-reliance?

Pei Jin didn't say anything, but held a small screwdriver in his hand and put something in her hand.

She opened her eyes and slowly began to see what it was.

The Cartier Love bracelet, gold in color, is stacked together with the gold bracelet Pei Jin gave her last time.

Bai Tao immediately regained her senses.

"Pei Jin!"

Pei Jin sat on the edge of the bed, smiling as he looked at her.

"Do you like it, baby?"

Bai Tao was stunned for several seconds.

"I like.

But this costs 60,000! Where did you get so much money?

"And didn't you already give me a gold bracelet?"

"Wearing just one bracelet is not enough; layering them like this looks better."

Bai Tao looked at him, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

"You went to rob someone?"

Pei Jin smiled.

"No, I just got paid, and I've been helping Chi Shibao with his stocks lately."

Bai Tao gently patted him.

"But you can't just let me spend all the money, that would be too wasteful."

But she was still very touched and threw herself into his arms, and Pei Jin held her tightly.

"It's okay, baby, we'll get better and better."

We will have our own house and car in the future.

He was willing to do anything as long as Bai Tao's life gradually improved.

-

Pei Jin's final report to Chi Shibao was 900 million in 20 days.

Chi Shibao kept his word and transferred 80 yuan to Pei Jin on the spot.

Chi's mother originally intended for him to bring 1100 million yuan home, but Chi Shibao spent over 100 million yuan traveling outside for a month and ended up bringing back over 1200 million yuan.

Mother Chi knelt in the ancestral hall overnight, her hands clasped together, chanting prayers.

"That's great! That's great! Xiao Bo has made something of himself."

Then, with a wave of his hand, he packed up Chi Shibao and put him into the company's management team overnight.

Upon hearing the news, Chi Shibao nearly fainted.

"Mom! This is too fast! I just graduated, and I haven't had enough fun yet."

Chi's mother glanced at him sideways.

"Why don't you hurry up and get into the company now? Do you want to wait until all those mistresses have joined and established themselves before you go in to get beaten up?"

Having run out of ideas, Chi Shibao shut his mouth and went into the company.

He felt like he had gone too far in copying answers during the exam.

Autumn is always short; it passes in the blink of an eye.

Pei Jin was busy for three months straight. He quit his part-time job at the agency and would video chat with Chi Shibao on weekends.

He has become increasingly mature, and has become more and more stable in both company management and project research.

Chi Shibao would ask him anything he didn't understand, and the consultation fee increased from 50,000 to 100,000 per week.

On the first weekend of November, Chi Shibao slumped over his desk, his voice trembling with exhaustion from the weight of work.

"Brother Pei, I can't take it anymore. Come be my professional manager. I'll pay you eight million a year."

Pei Jin smiled.

"That's too little."

Chi Shibao sat up abruptly on the other side of the screen.

"This is not enough? I really don't understand what's so great about your job that pays 50,000 a month, especially since you were only getting less than 20,000 before."

Just as Pei Jin was about to speak, he heard the sound of a door opening behind him.

"Pei Jin, I'm back."

Bai Tao pushed open the door and came in, carrying several shopping bags in her hands. Her long, black curly hair fell to her chest, and around her neck hung a jade bamboo pendant that Pei Jin had given her just last month.

She wore gray leggings, a matching gray skirt, pointed dark gray flats, a matching gray top, and the long dark gray coat that Pei Jin had bought for her.

She lifted one foot to take off her shoe, and Pei Jin got up and walked over to take the bag from her hand. Then, he used his free hand to tug at her leggings.

"What are you doing? You're pinching my flesh."

Bai Tao patted his hand.

"These pants won't be wearable in a few days."

Bai Tao rolled her eyes and held up a five-pointed sign in front of Pei Jin.

"No way, these pants can be worn up to five degrees Celsius."

"But you'll get cold when you ride a bike."

"That's only ten minutes, I can bear it."

And Qingqing would take me home on her little electric scooter after get off work in the evening.

Her electric scooter had a windshield, so I wasn't cold at all hiding behind her.

Qingqing is Qiao Yue's newly hired shop assistant. She is a recent college graduate, slightly chubby, and very cute.

Pei Jin raised his hands in surrender.

"Okay, okay."

He couldn't win an argument with Bai Tao using fallacies.

"Go wash your hands in the restroom first, we're having spicy hot pot tonight."

"You made me mala tang?!"

Bai Tao's eyes lit up.

Pei Jin nodded.

I don't know why, but after working for two months, Bai Tao developed a strong craving for mala tang and mala xiangguo. Eating out all the time isn't healthy.

Pei Jin forbade her from ordering takeout outside, only allowing her to eat at home.

As Bai Tao walked, she took off her coat, and Pei Jin naturally took it from her and hung it up for her at the door.

As she passed the computer, she waved at the screen.

Chi Shibao shouted loudly from the other end, "Hello, Sister Taozi!"

His voice was powerful and deafening.

Bai Tao responded, without stopping.

I don't know why, but even after becoming a company manager and taking charge of two major projects, Chi Shibao still wasn't mature at all.

Pei Jin was behind her, his voice carrying a hint of helpless indulgence.

"Wash your hands and change into your pajamas before coming out."

"knew!!"

Pei Jin is getting more and more verbose.
