"Shaoling, I..."
Ji Jianing had more to say, but Li Shaoling was rubbing his brow tiredly."Jiang Cong, see her off."
"Miss Ji. This way, please." Jiang Cong gestured despite his confusion.
What the hell—that was the first time he heard his boss spout such nonsense with such seriousness.
That footage clearly showed that Ji Weixi had knocked Ji Jianing down.
Was Li Shaoling blind?
"Shaoling, I want to stay with you..."
Meanwhile, Ji Jianing approached him unrelentingly.
She was clearly still holding contempt.
She tried to frame Ji Weixi by appealing to Li Shaoling's sympathy so that he would teach her a lesson.
She simply did not expect that the outcome would be so troubling, and that she was the one burnt instead.
Now, even as she was about to reach Li Shaoling, the man abruptly lifted his eyes.
There was a glint of coldness. He looked utterly unapproachable.
In turn, Ji Jianing held her breath and smiled gently instead."If that's what you want, Shaoling... take care of yourself. I'll visit you again tomorrow."
Even as she turned, her face turned icy as well.
'That damned Ji Weixi. I'll let it go this time, but we'll see how long you can keep strutting around after I become the young mistress of the Li family. '

Early the next day, Ji Weixi had already put on makeup.
"Looking good. Which lover are you meeting today?" Tian Miaomiao asked murkily with her messy bedhead.
"Interview, " Ji Weixi replied flatly as she drew her eyeliner.
Her tremendous effort the day before had successfully made her an unemployed vagrant. However, her son would starve if she would not look for a job.
"Interview? Where?" Tian Miaomiao yawned lazily.
"Anywhere."
"Mommy, good morning!" Jiayu had already washed up, and was clothed in a light-purple suit.
His little white cheeks and artistic face gave him an almost doll-like appearance.
With his frame, he would probably grow to become tall, dark, and handsome.
"Baby, you're up early."
Ji Weixi gave him a peck on his sweet cheek.
"Mommy's looking for work, so I'm going to cheer for Mommy!"
Ji Weixi could not help but laugh and lovingly tap his little nose."You're really Mommy's little angel."
"No, no, no... I'm Mommy's caring puppy."
"Such sweetness!" Tian Miaomiao mumbled viciously, blowing bubbles as she brushed her teeth."Your son is going to be a ladies' man when he grows up!"
"And what's wrong with picking up girls through actual ability?" Ji Weixi replied proudly.
That being said, Ji Weixi would neuter the tot herself if he really grows up to be a womanizer.
"... Fine. You win."

Ji Weixi received the call from Jiang Cong after she finished putting on her makeup.
"Apologies, Miss Ji, but you are still expected at work because your contractual agreement has come into effect."
Ji Weixi frowned."Didn't President Li fire me yesterday?"
"That is true, " Jiang Cong replied, "but your absence would still be a violation of the signed contract, and the penalty is a hundred million dollars in reimbursement."
The assistant was still bemused with what had gotten into President Li that he would want Ji Weixi to come back so badly.
He had the brief thought that Ji Weixi had bewitched the president.
After all, it was all so bizarre.
"..."
On the other end of the call, Ji Weixi felt her heart tighten.
That was an astronomical reimbursement!
"Do I have another choice?" She asked, hoping faintly for an escape.
"... There is. Pay the company a hundred million, and you're free to go."
What a fart!
Would she even need to work if she could fork out a hundred million?
"Doesn't that mean I have another chance to meet Li Shaoling?!"
Tian Miaomiao leaped up at once when she heard that Ji Weixi was restored to her position. She was so thrilled she could explode at any moment.
Meanwhile, the tot took Ji Weixi's hand and put it on his chest.
"Um, Mommy... My heart was actually broken when you told me that your boss is ugly and old. Here, feel it."
