Mo Yan exchange contact information with Qin Yuan when he happened to save her yesterday. Mo Yan held her phone nervously. Once the call was connected, she asked, “What did you do to Supervisor Zhou?”

“Nothing. I just punched him a few times,” Qin Yuan said innocently.

Huo Zhen was the one who attacked him yesterday. He really didn’t do anything.

“Then why did I hear that Supervisor Zhou was almost beaten to death?” Mo Yan asked with a frown.

He had expected Mo Yan to ask about this. Qin Yuan followed Huo Zhen’s words and said, “Oh, there’s just a few bumps on his head. He might have also fainted for a while. It’s not that serious. Don’t listen to rumors. Supervisor Zhou didn’t even call the police. It means that he wasn’t hurt too bad. He’s just ashamed of himself.”

“Really?” Mo Yan heard what Qin Yuan said and thought it through. She realized that it made sense.

“Of course! Hey, I’m busy right now. I’ll hang up first.” Without waiting for Mo Yan to ask more questions, Qin Yuan hung up the phone in a hurry.

After knowing that Qin Yuan didn’t almost kill him, Mo Yan heaved a sigh of relief. She didn’t feel sorry for Zhou Shuai, but she was worried that Qin Yuan had gone too far. If the police were to investigate what had happened, not only would she have to pay a fine, but she would also have to go to jail.

If Luo Tao were to find out about this, he would be so sad and blame himself.

With this thought in mind, Mo Yan was about to walk back to her work station. However, when she opened the door of the small balcony, she met Chen Ya.

Chen Ya’s face was livid. Her eyes were fixed on her face. The veins on her forehead were popping out as she asked, “What did you say on the phone just now?”

Mo Yan did not know how much of the conversation between her and Qin Yuan that Chen Ya had heard, so she could only say with a cold face, “Supervisor Chen, I don’t understand what you mean.”

“Supervisor Zhou was beaten up. Is It related to you?” Chen Ya took a step closer and asked sternly.

Shrugging her shoulders, Mo Yan replied, “Oh, so Supervisor Zhou couldn’t come to work because he was beaten up. Thank you for telling me.”

Chen Ya was speechless, and her long nails dug into her palms.

After saying that, Mo Yan walked pass her and went straight back to her work station.

It was only the start of the day but she already had to deal with Chen Ya and Zhou Shuai’s matters. Mo Yan was in a bad mood. Fortunately, in the afternoon, Song Yun’s assistant handed her a pay slip, indicating that Song Yun had personally seen it.

“Eighty-six thousand yuan? How is it so much?” Mo Yan cried out in surprise. When she realized that her other colleagues were looking over, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth.

The assistant smiled warmly and said, “CEO Song said that you helped her complete many difficult projects, so there should be a commission. This amount is accurate.”

After confirming it for Mo Yan, the eighty-six thousand yuan salary was quickly transferred into Mo Yan’s account.

In less than 20 days into her new job, she was already able to get a salary of more than 80,000 yuan. Mo Yan was dazed by the sudden joy, and she immediately started fantasizing about how her life would be like when she got rich.

She wanted to take Luo Tao on a trip, and treat him to a big meal.

Very quickly, her bubble was burst, because she remembered that she still owed Qin Yuan more than 500,000 yuan.

With a sigh, Mo Yan transferred 80,000 yuan to Qin Yuan and left 6,000 yuan for her and Luo Qin.

When she got off work, Mo Yan saw Luo Tao in her company lobby to pick her up. She immediately waved her hand and said, “Let’s go, I’ll treat you to a big meal today!”

Luo Tao knew that Mo Yan had money because he was the one who asked Qin Yuan to get a pay raise for Mo Yan. However, on the surface, he pretended to know nothing. He asked with a smile, “Is it payday? You’re so happy.”

“Yes.” Mo Yan nodded, then took the initiative to hold Luo Tao’s hand and said, “I’ll treat you to a meal today. You can choose to eat whatever you want!”

With a smile at the corner of his mouth, Luo Tao followed her and said, “You are so generous. Let’s go to the restaurant by the river.”

Mo Yan agreed readily. She hailed a taxi and rushed to the restaurant by the river with Luo Tao.

Once they reached the place, Mo Yan was dumbfounded.

The place Luo Tao picked was actually the most luxurious restaurant in the city, the Alliston Music Restaurant!

A meal here could easily start from tens of thousands of yuan. How could a poor working class person like her afford it?

Looking at Mo Yan’s bitter expression, Luo Tao laughed in his heart. He wanted Mo Yan to embarrass herself because of her lack of money so that she would be forced to confess her real identity. Thus, he said nonchalantly, “What’s wrong? I heard that your family has always liked to eat in this restaurant?”
