Chapter 40: You Dare to Bring a Woman Up Here?

Chapter 40: How Dare You Bring a Woman Up Here?

"Brother Zhichen, Grandma Fu specially made this for you. If you refuse, you'll hurt her feelings." Ye Qingqing pretended to look troubled.

Fu Zhichen questioned, "Steward Song, did I allow you to bring this woman up here?"

So what if he disagrees? It's an elder's request—how could he have the audacity to refuse?

Song Jiang argued reasonably, "Mr. Fu, Miss Ye said Old Madam Fu asked her to deliver this chicken soup. It's an elder's kindness—wouldn't it be impolite to refuse?"

"She says it's from Grandma, and you just believe it?" Fu Zhichen's eyes darkened, the coldness radiating from him growing stronger.

"Steward Song, are you taking orders from her?"

Dammit, if it weren't for that six million, who would want to deal with these women every day?

Song Jiang was intimidated by the CEO's overbearing presence, wiping non-existent sweat from his forehead.

"Mr. Fu, of course not. I always follow your lead. If you say go east, I wouldn't dare go west."

He was about to grovel a few more words to express his loyalty when—

"Good fortune comes, wishing you good luck."

"Good fortune brings joy and love."

"..."

The battle song started playing—an incoming call.

Under the CEO's watchful gaze, Song Jiang answered with a trembling hand.

"Steward Song, come quick! That woman is here again!"

The receptionist's panicked voice came through the phone, reaching the ears of the three people in the office.

Song Jiang made a gesture indicating he'd handle it, and thankfully, the CEO nodded in agreement.

Phew—the receptionist had saved his skin. He'd have to treat her to coffee next time.

How did the receptionist get his number? Well, that was thanks to the CEO's endless romantic entanglements—so many that the receptionist couldn't handle them all.

It was all on him.

He didn't read all those CEO novels for nothing.

Song Jiang pretended to stay calm under pressure, "Keep her at bay, I'll be right there."

For his six million, he had to go downstairs. Who knows, maybe one of those women is the CEO's true love?

"Steward Song, perfect timing!"

"Come judge for me!"

"Why can that ugly woman Ye Qingqing go up, while this receptionist won't let me?"

He heard her before he saw her.

Song Jiang closed his eyes and guessed it was the arrogant Miss Tian.

"Miss Tian, what brings you here today?" Song Jiang put on his professional smile again.

What wind blew Tian Tian here today? When those two women meet, it's bound to be a catfight.

Tian Tian snorted, "Steward Song, if Ye Qingqing can go up, why can't I?"

Song Jiang played dumb, "Miss Tian, no one went up just now."

"Steward Song, you promised you wouldn't lie to me anymore." Tian Tian covered her mouth, looking extremely wronged, staring at Song Jiang as if he were a scumbag. "I saw Ye Qingqing go up."

Song Jiang's lips twitched. Damn, why did it have to be so coincidental?

He had finally managed to get on Tian Tian's good side. If he lied to her again, would he ever have her trust again?

More importantly, he was counting on helping her a few more times to cheat her out of some money.

Tian Tian was so naive—who else would he fool?

"Steward Song, I don't care! If she can go up, so will I!" Tian Tian shoved aside the receptionist blocking her way.

No way? Tian Tian is so skinny, how does she have so much strength?

Song Jiang stretched out his arm to block Tian Tian as she charged forward, saying quickly, "Miss Tian, Miss Ye went up because Grandma Fu allowed it."

"But in your case, neither Mr. Fu nor Grandma Fu agreed to let you go up."

Tian Tian's lower lip trembled in grievance, tears welling up in her eyes in an instant.

What a little crybaby.

"Steward Song, then will you let me go up?"

"Aren't we friends? You said you'd help me."

Fine, she's playing the friendship card.

Song Jiang was torn, "Miss Tian, as a friend, I'd of course let you up, but right now I'm on the job."

Song Jiang was about to keep arguing with Tian Tian, silently hoping the CEO had already kicked Ye Qingqing out.

But Tian Tian just stared at him silently. After a beat, she seemed to have an idea and opened her handbag.

"Steward Song, here's ten thousand, take it for now." Tian Tian thrust the money into Song Jiang's hand. "Let me up. Consider it a favor. Didn't we agree? Do this for me once, and I'll give you a hundred thousand."

"This ten thousand is a deposit. If you want the remaining ninety thousand, let me up!"

Rich kids were different—carrying ten thousand in cash like it was nothing!

Song Jiang pushed back, not wanting Tian Tian to know he was greedy for money.

"Miss Tian, it's not about the money."

Tian Tian pretended not to hear. "Steward Song, this is my bracelet! If I don't give you the ninety thousand later, this limited-edition bracelet is yours!"

How did this make him look like a robber? On the one hand, his conscience bothered him; on the other, Tian Tian was offering way too much.

He loved being showered with money. One word:

Awesome!

Song Jiang didn't hide his smile. "Miss Tian, this way, please."

Tian Tian handed the bracelet to Song Jiang with a look that said she couldn't care less about those petty gains.

"Steward Song, it seems money really does the trick."

You little minx, you hit the nail on the head.

To avoid running into Ye Qingqing, Song Jiang took Tian Tian on the CEO's personal elevator.

In that one-minute elevator ride, he'd already decided to go all out for Tian Tian.

Tian Tian was so rich, and now that they were friends, if she became the CEO's wife, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted in this novel?

Getting a hundred million would be a piece of cake!

As they were about to enter Fu Zhichen's office, Song Jiang couldn't help speaking up.

"Miss Tian, next time you want to see Mr. Fu, just come to me, and I'll set up a chance meeting for you."

"Really!" Tian Tian's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Song Jiang's elbow excitedly.

For real, for real.

Song Jiang nodded. Why turn down money? He wasn't a dummy.

"Oh, and Miss Tian, a friendly reminder: Mr. Fu doesn't like noisy, chattering women."

"So when you see Mr. Fu, keep your emotions in check. He hates people shouting and being rude in front of him."

"Thank you, Steward Song."

Tian Tian was deeply moved and asked innocently, "We'll always be good friends, right?"

A super-rich friend is every working person's dream. What a godsend, dropping this Tian Tian pie—why would I let that go?

Song Jiang was about to nod when the office door wasn't fully closed, and a magnetic voice laced with a hint of anger came from inside.

"Steward Song, how dare you bring another woman up here?"
