C15 A New Life!

Qin Xiao was taking a day off at home, working in his study, when he overheard their argument. After figuring out the whole situation, he instinctively felt the urge to speak up for Jee Ange. Seeing her standing silently to the side, looking defeated, stirred something in him.

He bypassed Lan Qingyue without a glance and walked straight to Jee Ange. As he approached with a blank expression, Jee Ange thought, "This is it. I'm really going to get fired this time. What should I do? Oh well!"

Finally, she steeled herself and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, and thank your parents for taking care of me during this time. I didn't steal anything, but I'm not a good housekeeper and don't deserve to stay with the Qin family. So, I think I should resign."

With that, she bowed deeply. Goodbye, Qin family.

Mr. and Mrs. Qin were taken aback. They genuinely liked Ange, even though they hadn't known her long. The thought of her leaving was a bit hard to accept.

Just as Jee Ange was about to head to her room to pack, Qin Xiao suddenly spoke up, "You're right; you're not suited to be a housekeeper."

He paused, and Jee Ange braced herself for criticism, but instead, he said, "So you should go work at WELL."

WELL Company is the largest fashion brand in the city, a Fortune 500 company with excellent benefits and a very humane set of company policies. Many new graduates would do anything to get in. The company was under Qin's mother's name, but Mr. Qin managed it most of the time, with Qin Xiao helping out when he had the time.

Jee Ange's major in college was financial management, so she knew a bit about the company. She never imagined it was owned by the Qin family, nor did she expect Qin Xiao to offer her a job there—a place so many people dream of working at!

She was stunned and could only manage a single word in response, "What?"

Seeing her standing there in a daze, Qin Xiao's lips curled into a barely noticeable smile. As he walked past her, he reached out and ruffled her hair. "Thinking of leaving before your debt's paid off? Starting tomorrow, you'll be working. Room and board are covered, but no salary."

Without waiting for a response, he turned and went back into his study.

What a workaholic, Jee Ange thought. But the real issue was... did he just ruffle my hair? And I haven't even washed it!

Why did he do that? Jee Ange was left puzzled.

Qin's parents were equally stunned. Was that really their son, who usually kept his distance from women? He just...

Meanwhile, Lan Qingyue stood nearby, seething with anger. Qin Xiao was letting this woman work at his mother's company. A few years ago, she had begged to work at WELL but was never allowed. This is infuriating. Jee Ange, just you wait!

In the quiet study, Qin Xiao sat at his desk, deep in thought. Suddenly, the ringing of his phone broke the silence. His long fingers pressed the answer button.

His assistant's voice came through the line: "Mr. Qin, I've confirmed that Jee Ange hasn't had any contact with Jee Fusheng recently."

After a brief pause, the assistant cautiously added, "Based on the investigation of Jee Fusheng, I found that he met with Miss Lan at a café three days ago, so I suspect..."

Qin Xiao interrupted, "Got it. I understand."

Relieved, the assistant quickly replied, "Alright," and hung up the call.
