Wealth and beauty beyond measure

  Seeing Pan Hui misunderstand their relationship, Hong Yaqin's face turned red for a moment, which also happened to break the silent atmosphere just now. Hong Yaqin said: "We've met several times, we can't be considered strangers, calling each other Mr. and Miss all the time seems too awkward."

  "I also think it's a bit awkward, so I'll call you Yaqin?" Zhang Yang said.

  Hong Yaqin nodded and said, "Zhang Yang, since you also admit that we are not strangers, can't we be considered friends now? Since we are friends, helping each other out is what should be done, right?"

  Zhang Yang couldn't help but smile, indeed no one is simple, seeing her resolute refusal of this transaction, she changed her approach. However, this statement also happened to be in line with Zhang Yang's intentions.

  "You've already said that, what can I say now? But isn't everything over anyway?" Zhang Yang said with feigned helplessness.

  Hong Yaqin said with a headache: "It's not the end, but the beginning. You don't know my parents' current situation, anyway, you'll still have to bother with it in the future."

  "Alright, since you say we're friends, I'll help with this matter." Zhang Yang said with a sense of relief.

  Hong Yaqin smiled complacently, and suddenly felt that He Linlin was sometimes right. A woman's coquetry, pretending to be pitiful, was the most effective weapon against men.

  "As friends, we should help each other out. You promised to help me, and I should do the same for you. Zhang Yang, if you want to gamble on making a fortune in the jewelry business, as your friend, I won't be able to help much. However, I can introduce two friends to you, you can't refuse that, right? I know you're strong-willed and want to rely on your own strength, but having more friends means having more paths to take, and knowing a few more people won't hurt you." said Hong Yaqin.

  Zhang Yang felt a bit guilty, it was his own goal, something he had been eagerly anticipating, yet somehow it ended up seeming like Hong Yaqin was the one seeking him out.

  "Yaqin, thank you." Zhang Yang said sincerely.

  Feeling Zhang Yang's sincerity, Hong Yaqin smiled happily and said: "I haven't congratulated you yet, I won the jade."

  Zhang Yangqian humbly said: "It's just good luck."

  "It's not just luck. My friend called me and said that your eyesight is very accurate, the lines you drew when identifying the stone were spot on. He even asked me to introduce him to you, I told him it was your first time gambling on stones, he didn't believe me."

  Zhang Yang raised an eyebrow, it seems that Wang Li and Hong Yaqin's relationship is not ordinary, personally asking about his own affairs.

  "Is this the friend you were going to introduce me to?" Zhang Yang said.

  Hong Yaqin said, "Hmm, there's Wang Li and another one is the manager of Jinyu Ge. I think if you're doing jade business, you need a sales channel. Don't look down on Jinyu Ge just because it's not well-known, many people haven't heard of them, but they are actually the largest jewelry retailer in the country. Forty to fifty percent of high-end consumers nationwide are their customers. And she's a beauty, aren't you single right now? What an opportunity!"

  Zhang Yang took a deep breath, they were all big shots.

  The general manager of the country's largest jade stone chain company, the manager of the country's largest jewelry sales company, I really don't know how Hong Yaqin knows them. Hong's father, this chef, is absolutely not as simple as he looks. Zhang Yang doesn't believe that just relying on Hong Yaqin's small private house restaurant can make so many connections.

  "Don't joke around, I'm just a small fry, probably can't even enter their line of sight." Zhang Yang said with intentional self-deprecation.

  Hong Yaqin said: "Zhang Yang, don't worry, they are not that kind of people who only care about benefits. Otherwise, I wouldn't have introduced them to you. We've known each other for generations, I understand them."

  "Since you've said so, then it's naturally no problem. Set a time and just let me know." Zhang Yang said.

  Hong Yaqin smiled and said: "No problem, just wait for my news."

  The room fell silent after the conversation, both of them not being talkative people. The atmosphere became somewhat eerie. Both of them sat in silence sipping their coffee, Zhang Yang lit a cigarette to distract himself.

  Hong Yaqin also felt something was wrong and stood up saying: "I'm going back, I haven't prepared dinner yet."

  "I'll see you off!" Zhang Yang said.

  Hong Yaqin hastily shook her head and said, "No need, I'll go back myself."

  He finished speaking and hastily left.

  After Hong Yaqin left, Zhang Yang closed the door, thought for a moment and walked to Pan Hui's bedroom door, stretched out his hand and suddenly twisted the door open with a push. Pan Hui let out an "ah" and fell to the ground.

  Zhang Yang's face changed color, and indeed as he had thought, this woman was eavesdropping at the door.

  Pan Hui rubbed her buttocks and said with a bad premonition: "Why didn't you knock on the door before coming in?"

  "Get out here," Zhang Yang glared at her and said.

  Pan Hui followed Zhang Yang into the living room.

  Zhang Yang picked up the cigarette on the ashtray and took a puff, silently staring at Pan Hui. At first, Pan Hui raised her head, but slowly lowered it, eventually almost burying it in her chest.

  "Did you eavesdrop yesterday too?" Zhang Yang suddenly said.

  Pan Hui let out an "ah" and raised her head, saying: "No, no."

  Zhang Yang sneered, Pan Hui scratched her face and finally hung her head, saying: "I, I didn't mean to, did I? There's not even a single entertaining thing in the room. Besides, you came here and drove me back to my room. I'm a bit curious, aren't I?"

  Zhang Yang said in a bad mood: "So you're blaming me now! You say you're so old, why are you still like those little girls."

  Pan Hui disagreed: "How old am I? I'm not even thirty yet."

  "Go on, go on, you're young and vigorous after all. The heart of Bagua is indeed suitable for the young." Zhang Yang said.

  Pan Hui pursed her lips and said nothing.

  "There's a bag on the shoe rack by the door, bring it over." Zhang Yang said.

  Pan Hui strangely went to pick up the bag and handed it over to Zhang Yang, who took out a box from inside. Pan Hui exclaimed in surprise: "An apple? Is this the mobile phone you bought for me? Boss, you're too good!"

  Zhang Yang didn't bother with her, took out his small pepper phone, replaced the card, and then threw the replaced phone to her saying: "This is for you."

  Pan Huiyu died of suffocation. It turned out that she had misread the situation, and with a reluctant expression, she watched as Zhang Yang put the Apple phone into his own pocket.

  "I'm surprised," said Zhang Yang, "when I hired you, you were so quiet and looked so honest, how did you become like this now?"

  "It's not because I want to be like this, but because you people like your maids to be like this. Originally, I'm a very lively person, but after meeting several clients, none of them were willing to hire me. I had no choice. However, we've already signed the contract, and if you don't have a reasonable reason to fire me, you'll have to compensate for my losses."

  After hearing this, Zhang Yang had the urge to vomit blood. The virtuous wife and good mother temperament was a disguise for finding work, wasn't that saying he had been deceived? Thinking of this, Zhang Yang finally understood what Wang Yue meant by "women are born actresses".

  "Your resume isn't fake too, is it?" Zhang Yang asked suspiciously.

  Pan Hui shook her head and said, "That's true, boss."

  Zhang Yang rubbed his temples, his head was aching a bit.

  It's undeniable that at the beginning, he was attracted to Pan Hui's virtuous wife and good mother qualities, and there were some unscrupulous thoughts in deciding to hire her. After all, he is a man, and a gentle woman like water is placed in front of him, it's normal to have some impulse. But now that he has discovered Pan Hui's true nature, these thoughts have faded away. He is hesitant about whether to replace this nanny. Thinking back to the day when he saw Pan Hui, her desperate appearance, Zhang Yang sighed.

  Forget it, a married woman, working outside the home is already not easy. In order to be an ayi (housekeeper), she also has to pretend to have a good personality, if she wasn't desperate, she wouldn't do this. However, since she isn't the kind of ayi they wanted, they need to set some rules for her.

  Pan Hui saw Zhang Yang's expression and felt a sense of relief in her heart. She thought about the conversation she had with other ayis in the neighborhood when she went out to buy vegetables today, and indeed, the old people were right - when encountering a single employer, to ensure safety, one must pretend to be someone they don't like. She knew her own characteristics, and after thinking for half a day, she came up with this disguise. Now it seemed that it was successful.

  At least Zhang Yang's breath had changed and was no longer giving himself that kind of dangerous feeling.
