Double your salary?

Shi Yan was very interested in this offer.

A week-long business trip means I won't see Shen Ting for a whole week.

Tomorrow, that scumbag Qi Lu will be released from the detention center. What if he causes trouble for her again?

Shi Yan hesitated for a moment and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Sun Xin patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "A young man your age must be settling down and starting a family, right? If your salary doubled, wouldn't you be able to save enough for a bride price quickly and get married, giving your girlfriend a proper settlement?"

It must be said that middle-aged people have a very accurate eye for people.

His words struck a chord with Shi Yan.

Shi Yan nodded decisively: "You're right, I will do my best to complete this project."

Sun Xin looked at him with a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

Shi's Group is, after all, a large company, and the human resources department conducts background checks on each employee before they are hired.

Other employees, even if they don't graduate from 985 or 211 universities with master's or doctoral degrees, at least have extensive work experience in other major companies.

But before this, Shi Yan was actually a food deliveryman. Apart from that, he had no other professional background, and his educational background was also unknown.

He couldn't understand why Xie Yu'an would fall for this man. Could he really bring benefits to the company?

Unfortunately, Manager Xie's position in the company is obvious to all.

If Shi Yan fails to complete this project, then he can apply to his superiors to dismiss the employee.

But before that, he didn't need to go against Xie Yu'an.

Shi Yan took a taxi home.

Shen Ting hadn't replied to the previous message yet, and Shi Yan, afraid of bothering her, didn't send any more messages, preparing to go home and personally explain the business trip.

Shen Ting was chopping chili peppers in the kitchen when she coughed uncontrollably after only a few chops.

Shi Yan had just returned home when he caught her with red eyes.

Seeing her sniffle and her eyes seem to be brimming with tears, I was startled.

Could it be that Shen Ting already knows about his business trip?

Will she be reluctant to part with him?

"I……"

Shi Yan parted his thin lips slightly, about to say something, when he saw Shen Ting run to the fan to cool off.

Tears streamed down her face as she blew on the chili peppers, mumbling incoherently, "It's so spicy! I'll never cut chili peppers again! Next time I'll definitely wear a gas mask!"

Shi Yan: "..."

He gave a wry smile, realizing he had been overthinking things.

Once Shen Ting recovered, she noticed Shi Yan standing to the side.

"You're back? Dinner's almost ready, wait for me a bit."

Upon hearing this, Shen was about to continue working in the kitchen.

Shi Yan gently took her hand and told her that he would be going on a business trip to another province for a week next Monday.

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Shen Ting, as if trying to catch a glimpse of reluctance on her face.

But Shen Ting, that heartless guy, immediately lit up with excitement when he heard the words "promotion and raise".

"How much of a raise?" she asked, rubbing her hands together expectantly.

Shi Yan sighed softly: "Double it."

Shen Ting: !!!

"Not bad, you're really getting more and more promising!"

Double it!

His salary was already very high, so what does it mean if it doubles!

Her mind was filled with thoughts of "so much money, so much money, so much money," and she didn't notice Shi Yan's increasingly dejected look.

"Don't you... have anything else you want to say to me?" Shi Yan's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

Shen Ting was stunned for a moment, her mind racing, not quite understanding what he wanted.

Emotional value? Didn't she already provide that?

Or is it a tangible reward?

Shen Ting stared at him strangely, then stiffly walked forward and hugged him.

When she looked at him again, the man's eyes were smiling, and his expression was much more cheerful than before.

Shen Ting shrugged, thinking to himself, "Why is this guy so arrogant? This is a bit out of character, isn't it?"

Shouldn't he always give her the cold shoulder?

After dinner, Shen Ting gave him the puppy doll that he had crocheted earlier.

"Look, the one you crocheted before was defective, so I've crocheted a new one for you."

"Thank you, I like it very much," Shi Yan said earnestly.

Perhaps inspired by Shen Ting's hug earlier, he also expressed his gratitude with a hug this time.

The man's broad chest blocked her way, and the refreshing scent of soap wafted over.

For some reason, Shen Ting's heart raced again, and she felt a sense of dependence.

"Once I get a promotion and a raise, we can consider getting married."

A deep, magnetic voice sounded above him, "I'll work hard to save money, first to buy you a house, then a car, and then some hardware..."

When he said this, his tone was noticeably lighter.

If any other man said such a thing, Shen Ting would only think he was making empty promises.

But at this moment, Shen Ting heard a sense of certainty and happiness in his words.

It's as if he believes he will definitely be able to achieve these things in the future, and at the same time, he feels happy about his efforts.

He... he can't actually like her, can he?

Shen Ting quickly shook this absurd idea out of his mind.

How could that be? He's a sane male protagonist in a novel, not a masochist.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Shi Yan glanced down and raised an eyebrow.

Shen Ting felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy. Seeing that his gaze was becoming increasingly intense, she could only bite the bullet and say "okay."

"I will also work hard to earn money."

Then they ran away.

*

In the following days, Shen Ting took the crocheted dolls to set up a stall near the neighborhood.

Shi Yan continued to work part-time as a food delivery driver.

Shen Tinggang had just set up his stall and sat down on a small stool.

A woman in sportswear, breathing heavily, stopped in front of her stall.

"Hello, would you like to see some dolls? They're all hand-knitted..."

Before she could finish speaking, the woman smiled at her.

"Are you Shen Ting?"

Shen Ting was taken aback: "Who are you?"

"Xie Yu'an is a colleague of your boyfriend, Shi Yan."

Shen Ting's heart skipped a beat.

For a moment, she even forgot to breathe, and cold sweat slid down her back.

What happened?

Shouldn't it be the Shi family looking for her? Why is it the original female lead from the book?

"Don't be nervous, I've investigated you."

Xie Yu'an chuckled lightly, "Your relationship with Shi Yan isn't good, and I heard he has amnesia."

"Do you know what his identity was before he lost his memory? What kind of job did he do?"

pat.

The doll in Shen Ting's hand fell to the ground.

She was somewhat unwilling to accept this, and she had been actively trying to find a solution ever since she transmigrated.

I finally found a job, and I've just been promoted to a permanent position. I haven't even started receiving my salary yet. Is everything about to end?

Shen Ting bit her lower lip and forced herself to remain calm as she said, "I don't know... I saw him bleeding and injured on the roadside. He had already lost his memory at that time."

Fortunately, the surroundings were quite noisy, otherwise Xie Yu'an would definitely have heard her voice trembling slightly at the end.

Xie Yu'an then asked, "Which roadside?"

"It's been half a year, I don't remember it at all."

Xie Yu'an nodded, leaned close to her ear, and still had a smile on his face.

"Have you truly forgotten, or are you simply too afraid to admit it?"

Clang!

Shen slumped down on the stool.

A kind-hearted auntie nearby quickly helped her up and patted her dusty back.

"Your little stool is no good, is it? Here, sit on mine."

Shen Ting wasn't paying attention to that, so she casually said thank you and plopped down on the floor.

When I came to my senses again, Xie Yu'an was gone.
