Chapter 199 How can I take the salary the young master gave you?
Chapter 199 How can I take the salary the young master gave you?
Dr. Zhao was about to step forward and say something, but his eyes subconsciously swept around, and in the end he swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
Forget it, he shouldn't cause any more trouble for Zhang Ma. He should ask the young master for leniency in private.
Xu Jiaojiao stood to the side with her neck stiff, like a proud rooster. She knew that Brother Chen was doing this to stand up for her, since she would soon be the mistress of the house.
If Zhang Ma comes to beg her later, she'll give her face!
Fu Xiaochen didn't understand why Zhang Ma was asking this. "No! Did the housekeeper deduct your salary?"
Zhang Xinru sensed something was off about Fu Xiaochen's words. Was this bastard trying to find a way to deduct her salary? Otherwise, why would he bring up her salary in the first place?
"The housekeeper didn't deduct my salary, but what you just said about not letting me have any free time is..."
You'd better give me a straight answer. What do you mean by "give me something to do"? What do you mean by "can't be idle"? Doesn't a nanny's life matter? I get really annoyed dealing with you two crazy people every day!
Ye Jiajia wasn't this troublesome before she became a maid, so why... wait, could it be because they think Ye Jiajia is too idle and are too embarrassed to say it directly?
Zhang Xinru silently added in her heart, "Woman, I'm waiting for you to beg me!"
What Fu Xiaochen said next confirmed her suspicions.
“I have two servants to serve me now, but they cost more than the wages of ten people. I am a businessman and I never do business at a loss.”
After saying that, he gave Ye Jiajia a deep look, wanting to see how long this woman could hold out.
Ye Jiajia understood the implication in Fu Xiaochen's words: he felt that she and Zhang Ma had too easy a job and wanted to find them something to do.
"You can exploit us however you want, but I will not yield."
Wang Ma didn't dare to interrupt, fearing that the young master would drag her into it as well. She'd rather share the workload with Zhang Ma in private.
Zhang Xinru was dumbfounded. Damn it, which idiot was it who said he would pay Ye Jiajia a million-dollar salary every month?
She didn't share in the good fortune, but she's made to share in the bad. What kind of losing deal is that? She seems like a huge victim!
If you want Ye Jiajia to beg you, just say so. Why beat around the bush like this?
“Young Master, although our combined salaries exceed one million, my salary is only one hundred thousand; the extra is from Aunt Ye.”
The implication is that she does only what she's paid for, and only Ye Jiajia's salary exceeds the limit.
Ye Jiajia wanted to say that she didn't care about the salary or the amount of the million, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
In order to pay off her medical bills and leave Fu Xiaochen's side as soon as possible, she was forced to go against her conscience and succumb to money.
"It's alright, Aunt Zhang. From now on, I'll give you half of my salary every month. I won't let you suffer any losses."
Zhang Xinru felt that the other party was painting a big, round pie in the sky for her, and that she couldn't see the end of it.
Sister, are you kidding me?
Putting aside the fact that you haven't finished paying off the medical bills you owe Fu Xiaochen, your entire salary for this month has already been deducted!
This is after only one day of work, and I'm bound to be penalized again. It's like they're trying to spread my monthly debt across the board!
Zhang Xinru estimated that if she worked for Ye Jiajia, she could sell herself to Fu Xiaochen in less than a month.
If I didn't know what kind of people these two were, I would have thought they were deliberately playing the good cop/bad cop to lure her into prostitution!
Thinking of this, Zhang Xinru quickly waved her hand to refuse, "No, no, how could I accept the salary that the young master gave you! I'm not that kind of person at all."
Wang Ma: I don't believe it. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking.
Ye Jiajia was deeply moved. "Aunt Zhang, you're so kind. Don't worry, I'll help you with more of the work."
Zhang Xinru looked pained. "Who asked you to share the burden? If you hadn't gone crazy, none of this would have happened."
It seems the recording needs to be sent to Fu Xiaochen as soon as possible; we can't delay any longer, or who knows what kind of trouble they might cause her!
Seeing that Fu Xiaochen was about to leave, Zhang Xinru hurriedly stopped him, her words ambiguous.
"Young Master, the butler has just arranged other tasks for us, saying that in addition to serving you, we will also clean the courtyard outside."
The butler wanted to explain his reasons for making such arrangements, but he also realized that the young master's intentions were not what they seemed, so he didn't say anything more.
Why should working people make things difficult for each other? When masters quarrel, it's always the servants who suffer.
Anyway, whatever the young master tells Zhang Ma to do, Ye Ma will do. At worst, they can all be made to clean the yard.
Fu Xiaochen knew how big his estate was, and he believed that once Jiajia couldn't stand cleaning anymore, she would beg to come back to him and be his woman.
"Okay, then do as the butler says!"
Zhang Xinru was overjoyed. It was worth it for her to break the rules and get into a fight that morning. Now she found the housekeeper even more pleasing to the eye.
"Okay, Master."
Dr. Zhao wanted to spend more time with Zhang Ma, but remembering that he had important matters to attend to, he could only go to the company with Fu Xiaochen first. Anyway, he would be back to rest tonight, so there was no rush.
"Aunt Zhang, I'll go to the company with the young master first, and I'll be back tonight."
Zhang Xinru only then noticed Dr. Zhao. "What are you doing here? When did you get back?"
Dr. Zhao choked for a moment, "Why can't I be here? I came back when you were fighting. You haven't seen me for two days, and your eyesight has gotten worse too?"
Zhang Xinru was afraid that Fu Xiaochen would hear her and assign her other work, so she said, "Shh, hurry up and leave, you talk too much nonsense."
Dr. Zhao waved his hand, "No need to see me off, go back, I'll be back tonight."
Zhang Xinru rolled her eyes: "Who sent you? Go back wherever you want."
After everyone left, I quickly sent the recording on my phone to Fu Xiaochen, praying that we would make up soon!
Making Ye Jiajia Fu Xiaochen's maid was the most regrettable decision she ever made.
After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply from Fu Xiaochen, Zhang Xinru typed a few more words and sent them over.
"Young Master, you must listen to the recording I sent you."
Fearing that Fu Xiaochen might be imagining things, she added another point.
"This is what Miss Jiajia wants to say to you."
As soon as the sentence was sent, a large red exclamation mark appeared.
"Send failed. The recipient has enabled friend verification."
"???"
"Send failed. The recipient has enabled friend verification."
It was obvious that she had been deleted from WeChat by the other party. Zhang Xinru was so angry that she wanted to smash her phone.
"Is Fu Xiaochen crazy? Would it kill him to take a look? He doesn't think I'm harassing him again, does he?"
She then sent the recording back to Dr. Zhao, not believing that Fu Xiaochen had even deleted Dr. Zhao's recording.
"Dr. Zhao, there are words that Miss Jiajia said to the young master inside. You must make sure he hears them."
"I just sent it to the young master and he deleted me on WeChat. Please don't let me down!"
"Please, please, just give me an emoji."
