C12 She Bumped into a Big Shot

Yu Xiaotong’s father, Yu Hongbin, had uremia and was in urgent need of a kidney transplant. The 500,000 yuan was needed to help pay for his operation. She was left with few options and had to become a man’s lover for three months in order to get her hands on this large sum of money.

The first thing Yu Xiaotong did was use that 500,000 yuan to pay for her father’s surgery fees.

The surgery went without a hitch. To help with her father’s recovery process, for the past few days, she had been by her father’s side day and night taking care of him.

At this time, her father was resting peacefully after his operation. Yu Xiaotong was going through the contact list on her phone and her lifeless eyes stopped on a name.

Mr. Zuo.

At that time, because the exorbitant surgery fees were too much for her to handle by herself, she was forced to ask her good friend Lulu, who had many connections, to introduce her to a sugar daddy. This was how she and Mr. Zuo met.

Although this was the first time they were meeting, Yu Xiaotong had a good first impression of Mr. Zuo. His gentle voice and friendly demeanor made Yu Xiaotong trust him at first.

But she did not understand why Mr. Zuo would go back on all his words after their initial meeting.

After her father’s condition stabilized, she had made a few attempts to call Mr. Zuo but was told that the number had been disconnected. She had also gone out of her way to go to the nightclub a few times but he was never there.

Though Yu Xiaotong was glad she didn’t have to see him again, deep inside she was still a little worried. Fortunately, since Mr. Zuo made no effort to contact her again, she would not have to face another possible awkward encounter with him. Besides, it wasn’t her fault. She used her time wisely and began searching for a job, hoping to earn enough cash so that she could pay him back.

She was worried that Mr. Zuo would come looking for her at any time. She remembered how angry he was that day. If he ever found her again, Yu Xiaotong did not know what he would do and how she would be able to defend herself.

But now that things were the way they were, there was no point worrying. Earning as much money as soon as possible was more important. So she submitted her resume to many places to look for a job.

Her father was getting better and better, and she didn’t have to take care of him as much anymore, which cleared up her schedule. Soon, she landed herself a job. She became a female phone sales employee at the Milky Way sales station.

Her strict work ethic and warm attitude quickly helped Yu Xiaotong rise in the ranks of the phone sales department. After one season, her name was entered into the gold card list of top phone sales employees.

Every quarter, the company would give out awards to outstanding employees. The general manager, Zuo Yuliang, would personally come and give out the awards.

Under the wild applause of her co-workers, Yu Xiaotong blushed and walked out onto the platform to get her award.

Zuo Yuliang was stunned by Yu Xiaotong’s beautiful face.

“You are?” Standing before such a beauty, Zuo Yuliang could not help but stutter.

Yu Xiaotong lifted up her head and revealed the scar on her neck. When he saw the scarlet scar, Zuo Yuliang’s breath instantly caught in his throat. But noting that all eyes were on him, he handed her the award certificate and shook her hand. “Yu Xiaotong, thank you so much for your contributions to the company!”

Yu Xiaotong held his hand in hers. She could not put a finger on it but somehow this general manager appeared very familiar to her. She looked up to meet his eyes that were giving her the once-over. His intense gaze was making her blush.

She lowered her head and said in a soft voice, “General Manager?”

When Zuo Yuliang regained his senses, he discovered that he had been holding her hand for a long time. To not make things awkward between them, he quickly let go of his grip.

The sudden absence of warmth made them both feel a little disappointed in their hearts.

After the award ceremony was over, Yu Xiaotong walked out of the door of the meeting room. A strong gust of wind from the air conditioner blew the award certificate out of her hand and to the ground.

She bent down about to pick it up but did not expect the certificate to fly further ahead. It made its way all the way back to the pillar at the corner of the meeting room. She lowered her eyes so that she could better focus on chasing after it. Unexpectedly, she bumped into the person standing behind the pillar.

With her eyes trained to the ground, Yu Xiaotong could see a pair of shiny leather shoes. From the look of it, they were definitely men’s shoes. Although she had no idea what type of brand-name the man’s leather shoes were, she could imagine his impeccable appearance and high-quality suit. This person was definitely no ordinary employee from the company.

The people attending the meeting today were all in high positions in the company like the general manager or the deputy general manager. They were all big shots in the eyes of her co-workers.

Yu Xiaotong thought that she might have run into a big shot and she immediately became scared. Too terrified to pick up the award certificate anymore, with her head still bent forward, she said repeatedly, “I’m sorry! Please pardon me!”

The man did not say a word and Yu Xiaotong could feel an inexplicable pressure from his silence. Her eyes still downcast, she did not dare see who it was and did not bother to retrieve the award again. She quickly made a beeline around him, wanting to leave as soon as possible.

Seeing that she was leaving without it, he bent down and picked up her certificate. Looking at the name on it, he said, “Yu Xiaotong, don’t you want your certificate? This is such an honor!”

Yu Xiaotong was scared senseless. From the way he was speaking, it was obvious he was some executive of the company.

Also, his tone was very strict and cold. He took this very seriously. Yu Xiaotong’s heart almost jumped in her chest.
